Winrington, northern suburbs. （）

Arcane Tower.

Jerry stood respectfully in front of a wizard-like man wearing a black hood and black robes, and his whole body was shrouded in a cloud of black smoke.

"So, Raschel found you and warned you?" the wizard-like man asked in a low voice.

"Yes...... Yes, Your Excellency. ”

"You didn't tell him who we were, and how did you get in touch with us?"

"Absolutely not, sir. ”

"Good. The man nodded: "Tell me about the violet." ”

"The relationship between Hue Igler and this cabaret is definitely not what is rumored to be by the outside world. The girls there were not afraid of him, on the contrary, they even longed to see him. On the surface, of course, they made enough gestures. I've been trying to get a way to get in touch with Cels, the head of the group, Clariss, but after a few trials, they're probably not going to be able to contact him. So we're afraid we're going to have to force him out using the same method Raschel has used. ”

"You're not qualified to make a suggestion yet, and when it comes to what to do next, we're going to make a decision. You go back now, stay in the song and dance troupe, don't do anything, just wait for our instructions. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. Jerry lowered his head and stepped back.

Seeing Jerry leave, the man slowly removed his hood, revealing an old face like tree bark, but it was an old man. He pulled out a crystal ball from his bosom and muttered a long list of strange words. These words came from his mouth, and turned into physical words, one by one, they fell into the crystal ball with great clarity, and disappeared in a flash.

He lifted a finger, and a little light flew out of his fingertip and landed on a candle. The faint light of the fire reflected a faint light in the otherwise gloomy room, dragging a long black shadow behind the old man.

"Here you are, Kabno. The old man suddenly sounded, in the room where he was alone.

"At your call. In the empty room, another man's voice echoed. Amazingly, the sound source turned out to be a shadow from the old man's ground. The shadow seemed to be alive, writhed a few times, and actually broke away from the old man's body and stood up alone.

The shadow took a few steps and came to the old man's side:

"Is something wrong? Lord Cage, you have asked for a committee to be convened immediately. The shadow asked, shaking her body.

"Let's wait until a few of them come. ”

"I've arrived. "A small black bird flew in from the window, and it was unexpectedly spoken.

"And me. "The flame of the candle suddenly skyrocketed, and a strange human face was formed in the fireworks. The flame monster looked left and right, then frowned dissatisfiedly, "Erwin is late again. ”

"Hey, don't speak ill of others behind your back, Bodø. I'm not like you, and it's not my forte. A golden beetle crawled out of the corner of the room, flapped its wings, and flew to the candlestick and landed.

The old man in the room raised his hand: "Enough, Erwin has just been promoted to a seventh-level mage, and his strength can't be compared with yours, so it's understandable that he is slower." ”

Shadows of nothingness, faces of flame monsters, black birds, and golden beetles all ceased to make a sound.

"So, Lord Cage, is it about the boy to convene such an urgent council meeting, and if so, the Assassins' side has already done it, though I don't think they can help us in any way. Shadow of Nothingness said.

"What we need is not help, just an organization or an individual who can take responsibility for killing that teenager. The old man said categorically, "Of course, it would be better if they could provide us with some more news." ”

"I still insist that you are overly concerned on this issue, Lord Cage. The teenager didn't have that much energy. The golden beetle replied with a flap of its wings.

"I don't think Lord Cage is overly concerned, the committee must contain Huigler, this boy will either die or never appear. The flame monster said, "That boy inherited part of Electra's inheritance, which is troublesome. He may not be able to change the situation now, but the future is uncertain. ”

"But it shouldn't be in this extreme way, we're not butchers. The black bird jumped down from the window and said.

The Shadow of the Void immediately said, "That's why we gave him a warning in this way, but I doubt he will understand what we mean, or if he does, he will accept it."

"If you don't understand, kill it, and don't forget that we have a personal vendetta with Huyglare. Flame Monster Face reminded everyone.

"I never thought Mallett's death was a bad thing, this guy ruined half of the city of Royo and plunged the entire empire into injustice. His fiery temper didn't look like a magician at all, he was too mindless. The Golden Beetle said sarcastically, looking like he was not on the right path with the Flame Monster Face.

"That's right, maybe you're the only one of us who should be thankful for Hue Igler, because if he hadn't killed Mallett, you wouldn't have qualified to be on the committee and be a part of it. The flame monster sneered.

The golden beetle jumped angrily: "Do you want to insult me, Bode? If that's the case, you've succeeded, you've succeeded in provoking me and provoking me to anger." ”

The old man Huo Ran turned around: "Enough, gentlemen, you are all old, stop making noise like two negative children!"

The golden beetle and the flame monster face fell silent again.

Void Shadow coughed softly, then said, "I don't think there's any need for us to discuss the decisions we've already made. Huigler will be silent forever, or die, this is not a personal vendetta, and it has nothing to do with Mallet's death. Armitage is right when he says that we are not butchers, but we kill people when necessary, we kill a lot of people. The dignity of a mage cannot be desecrated, and the status of the Arcane Tower cannot be shaken. If Hue Igler doesn't know each other, we'll deal with him. I guess this is not only the meaning of the Winrington Committee, but also the common meaning of all the magicians in the Arcane Towers in the entire Peking University 6, and even the three Big 6. ”

"That's right, Kabuno. The old man nodded with satisfaction: "I just received the news this morning, Frank Empire, that old friend of mine, he hopes that I can do him a favor." ”

"Is it Bernardine's old immortal?" asked the black bird.

"That's him. Guess what he wants me to do him a favor?"

"Found Huey Gler?"

The old man laughed: "It's killing, not finding." Note this difference. We don't need that boy to serve us, we don't need his knowledge, we don't need his skills, we don't need him to change anything here. As Kabuno said, this is the will of all magicians, and there are no borders...... Magic knows no borders!"

"So there's no need to discuss this issue anymore. ”

The old man looked at the golden beetle, and the other party had obviously acquiesced to this fact.

Then he spoke again: "Then next, we have to see who is the right agent for us." What do you think of Raschel? That will be the main discussion in tonight's meeting. ”

"The little agent?" the black bird shook his head, "a little clever, Lord Cage, how did you think of him?"

"He already knew Jerry had a new master. Jerry didn't tell him who was involved, but with his intelligence, he could easily guess who else in the country was qualified to do such a thing in defiance of the Emperor's orders. ”

"Raschel is a talent, but he doesn't have enough action. ”

"But there's no denying he's a talent. If the cabaret can't help us find Huyglare, and Huyglare refuses to heed our warnings, Raschel is still the best person to help us find Huyglare. ”

"But he will not accept our assignment, and he has given up any action against Huigler. ”

In the room, everyone was arguing with each other.

The old man lowered his head and pondered for a moment before he said, "I think we can solve this problem. ”

"How to fix it?"

"Padgett, the Earth Samurai. As long as he is dead and Raschel thinks that it has something to do with Huyglare, he will do whatever it takes to find out Huyglare. ”

"I agree. ”

"I agree. ”

"I agree. ”

"I ...... Agree. The golden beetle hesitated, but finally agreed.

"And then, what about us?" asked Shadowless Shadow.

"No, we're not going to make a move. Personally, I am inclined to remain moderately wait-and-see on this issue. The old man replied, "Raschel is responsible for finding out Huigler, and as for the shot...... There are other people. ”

"Who?"

"The Church. The old man replied.

"The church?"

The room was lively again.

"How could the church possibly do it?"

"Huegliel may be valuable to anyone, but it has no meaning to the church alone. It is impossible for the church to use puppets to fight. They only need the Holy Knights, and they don't need any other combat power. ”

"Although the Reims Empire has been trying to hide the fact that Huy Glare is a soul mage, the church is not deaf or blind after all. They won't be so incompetent. But they haven't done anything so far. That's enough to say that they are not interested in Huy Gler. ”

The old man waved his hand: "That's the past, not the present." I just got the news that a holy knight order came out of the Grabis Mountains, led by Hamilton, numbering about a hundred, and came straight to Winrington, in the name of ...... Birthday celebration for the Emperor. ”

"Hamilton, have you sent this madman too?" the golden beetle jumped on the stage a few times, showing his shock.

The old man said coldly: "You know that if it is a birthday celebration, then the person who comes should never be Hamilton. The only reason this guy exists in the world is to purge the church of dissent. I'm sure they're coming for Huy Igler. As for why there is such a change in attitude, I think it is understandable. The Church does not care about alchemy, but about its effects. At this point, they are the same as us. And Huey Gler...... He has indeed shown his ability to influence things that he shouldn't have. ”

———

The jungle of the Lilla Mountains.

Xiu Yi lay lazily on the ground, feeling the breath of the wind and adjusting the operation of the fighting spirit in his body.

This period of cultivation has made him make great progress, although he has not been able to break through to the sixth level, but he can already touch the threshold of the sixth level.

The road to promotion, the higher you go, the more difficult it is to walk, and to be able to enter the bottleneck period in such a short period of time is already fast. For Xiu Yi, breaking through to the sixth level, he was one last kick away.

At this moment, the communication crystal in his arms vibrate.

Huey didn't have to look to know it was Buckler.

Sure enough, the rough man faced Xiu Yi with a serious face: "A good news, a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Let's hear the bad news first. ”

"Your little lover's group is here. ”

"My little lover?" Huey didn't react for a moment.

"Violet Song and Dance Troupe, they're in Winrington. ”

"Oh, Brian, you bastard, who told you it was my little lover?"

"Don't try to deny it. According to what is known, there are at least three women in there who have been involved with you. Lilith wasn't happy with that, she thought you were messing around with flowers. So she decided to give you some color when you came back. ”

"I'm young and energetic. Huey shrugged.

"It might be more appropriate to change the energy to another two words. Buckler laughed.

"You're such an old rascal, Brian. Xiu Yi also smiled helplessly: "Lilith's anger...... Well, it's bad news, but I can fix it, so what about the good news?"

"We investigated the Golden Dragon Club and did not find any information about the client who offered a bounty to assassinate you. On the contrary, a clue appeared inadvertently from the Violet Song and Dance Troupe?"

"What clues?"

"Raschel went to find the boy named Jerry. My buddies didn't dare get too close, and they didn't use the scout bees, so I couldn't hear what they were saying, but it seemed like they were arguing. My buddy vaguely heard as if Raschel wanted the guy to give up something, but he refused, and the kid ran away. My men didn't dare to catch up. ”

"Understood, it seems that Jerry has found a new master to take refuge in, do you think this will have something to do with the person who offered me a bounty?"

"Quite possibly, having said that, this bounty, I personally feel that the warning is more meaningful. ”

"I think so too, the question is what are they warning about?"

"That's not something I can guess, but they probably think you can. Aside from the Reims Empire, I don't have any personal grudges. ”

"That's the crux of the matter, there must be something that binds you together, but you don't realize it yet. Think about it, and maybe you'll be there. ”

"Could it be the church?"

"It's possible, but it's not like their style. But when it comes to churches, why not consult with your new allies, who should know more about the Church of the Holy Spirit. ”

"My new ally?" Huey paused for a moment, then understood that Buckler was referring to the Church of the Scourge.

That's right, the enemy is often the person who knows you best, is it possible that the Holy Spirit Church is behind the ghost, just ask the people in the Church of the Natural Disaster.

He quickly connected with Isardo Nepper, the patriarch of the Church of the Scourge, and told him what he had encountered during this time.

Isardo Nepper replied in the affirmative, "It can't be done by the Church of the Holy Spirit." Anything they want to do, kill anyone, it will be done directly and publicly, in the name of the gods. This kind of commissioned assassination will never be something they can do. In addition, it seems that this matter is as you said, the meaning of the warning is more than the substance, and I think it is obvious that the other party wants to convey a message to you, but due to the lack of communication channels, it can only be used to inform you of something. ”

"What kind of message?"

"Threaten, as you guessed earlier, they don't want you to show up in public. ”

"Why? Who will my public appearance do harm?"

Isardo Nepper looked down and thought for a moment: "It's hard to say. To know the answer, you have to look at what you have. ”

"Alchemy. Xiu Yi immediately replied: "It can only be related to alchemy." ”

Yes, it can only be related to alchemy. The power of samurai and magicians only represents individuals, and only alchemy is a power that can transfer combat power, and it is a power that can influence the world.

If someone doesn't want Xiu Yi to appear publicly, and cares about some aspect of Xiu Yi, it won't be his magic, it won't be his vindictiveness, it can only be his alchemy.

The problem is that all of them only want to get Xiuyi's alchemy, so they will never do anything to force Xiuyi not to show his head. The Reims Empire wanted to capture him, and the Frank Empire wanted to find him, both in order to get benefits from him. The husband is not guilty, but this piece should be fought for by everyone, not destroyed.

Why would anyone want him not to show up? Does that mean that the appearance of some kind of alchemy will have an effect on a certain person or a certain force? Even if they get it themselves, it won't do much good, so it's better to destroy it?

What kind of alchemy is it, and to whom?

Xiu Yi thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of it.

Seeing that Xiu Yi was meditating over there, Isado Nepper said slowly, "Maybe I can give you a reminder, Xiu Igler. In fact, when I first met you, I always wanted to ask you a question, but considering that this was probably your biggest secret, I didn't want you to misunderstand, so I didn't ask. But now it seems that this secret may not be a secret for a long time, and it may have something to do with the person who has put a bounty on your pursuer. ”

"What's the problem? Master Izado. ”

"I know you have excellent alchemy, thanks to your experience on Purgatory Island, but have you also received some of the knowledge inherited by Electra?"

"Yes. Huey did not deny this.

And so it was. Isardo Nepo's expression became serious, "So did you get any information about how to make the magic pattern recorded by Electra?"

Magic Pattern?

Xiu Yi frowned slightly, and a vague concept came to his mind.

The concept swirled in his mind, expanding like a whirlpool, encompassing everything that Huey had been through in the past year.

He desperately recalled, reflected, and thought about the miles he had traveled, the things he had experienced, the things he had seen, the bits and pieces of this world, every bit of his understanding, and even his own work on Purgatory Island.

The idea gradually became clearer.

He shouted, "I see, I know who's trying to deal with me!"
