376 Migration
"Dear Mr. Diesel, it is surprising to me that you are making such a request at this time. When Pan Diesel's face reappeared in the mirror of Erastro Silverhand, on the other side of the mirror, Penny could clearly see the astonishment and confusion on Silvermoon's face.
The ruler of Westgate City abruptly offered to relocate his family, which was roughly the equivalent of a faction leader suddenly embarking on political asylum, but Lady Erastro was very intelligent and quickly thought of Penny's reason for doing so.
If the family is relocated to a safe place, it can only mean that the person is in trouble that makes him take care of himself, or that it is difficult to take care of the affairs of others as soon as he starts to deal with it, and in connection with the rumors during this period and the last brief war between Cormier and Simon, Erasdrand immediately analyzed the reason why the wizard did this: "So, Mr. Diesel, it was the Searles who found you?"
"It can be said that I found them, so to speak. Penny pressed his temple and weighed his words: "Venerable Lady Silverhand, for various reasons, I not only need to put my family in a safe place, but also fade out of the power center of Ximen City, I believe that this news should not make you feel so uncomfortable." ”
Arazdra's eyelids jumped.
The message in Penny Thean's words shocked her - the wizard who had built up a great deal of power on the Dragon's Coast in just two years was ready to give up everything he had?
No way.
Lady Yinyue frowned, rejecting this idea, Pan Diesel would definitely not be so generous, even if he himself was not active in the political axe of Ximen City, but as long as his industry, connections, and prestige in Ximen City were still there, his influence would not be reduced too much.
said that the power hub of West Gate City faded out, and its significance was probably more to temporarily leave the public eye.
In this way, the purpose of this person's various schemes is self-evident, "Mr. Diesel, you want to return to the Red Mage Society?" Aylastrus's eyebrows were deeply worn, the reason why Penny Sean had defected from Serre in the first place, after investigation, the voters of the goddess of magic also generally understood that this person was now full-fledged, and it seemed that it was time for revenge.
This made Lady Silvermoon frown, for Penny Thean's imminent return to Serre was not a happy news for the Goddess of Magic's electors.
Because it means that Penny Sean is about to return to the camp of the red-robed mage.
This, of course, would have made Silvermoon uncomfortable, and it would have been all the more bizarre for Pan Diesel to leave.
"You don't have to worry, this will not affect the relationship between you and me, I will regard Silvermoon City as a safe area, and it can also be understood that I do not regard you as enemies, and I will not take the initiative to make enemies of you in the future. Penny knew Lady Silvermoon's concerns, and after a deep sigh, he spoke.
This was something he had already considered, and the reason why he left the back road in Silvermoon City was because the voters of Mystra were more reliable than the rest of the sinister part of Pheron—and despite the conflicts in their positions, they were generally good people.
Erastro pondered for a while, her brows gradually relaxed, and she suddenly realized that it was more beneficial to agree to Penny Sean's actions and proposals, if the relatives of this red-robed mage were in Silvermoon City, then even if Sean was far away in Searle, he would be able to be influenced by their camp.
Thinking of this, Erasdra's heart brightened, as a representative of the camp that had been hostile to Searle for hundreds of years, Lady Silvermoon knew very well that it was difficult to subvert the organization of the Red Robe Mage Guild with violence.
Unlike regional terrorist organizations such as the Santarin Society, the Red Robe Mage Society has a country with deep-rooted power, whether it is the power of the mage or the comprehensive national strength, not to mention the Desperate Eastern Regions, which can be called a powerful country in the entire Faerun.
Although Queen Hembo of Agolaron had been holding back the eastward march of Serre's army for a long time, as a sister of Hembo, she knew that this deterrent came more from the huge camp of the Seven Sisters and the Missra Electorate.
The Storm Queen alone is very reluctant to fight against all the red-robed mages of Serre - even with Faeron's top-notch spell attainments, it is impossible for Xinbu to go head-to-head with a thousand ordinary mages and a few legendary spellcasters, in fact, with the strength of the red-robed mage's camp, if there are not too many enemies around, it may not be weaker than the electors of Mystra.
Since Simb's accession to the throne, most of the wars between Serre and Agolaron have been local skirmishes, more like mutual tests or routines, continuing the hatred between the two countries that has continued since the founding of Serb - neither the red-robed mage nor Hinbu believe that they can annihilate each other.
Coupled with the fact that Searle has a human population of three million, the sinister but not barren soil transformed by magic, and the economic power that cannot be underestimated with the development of the magic industry also makes the country seem even more difficult to deal with.
However, the development of trade has also made this country less terrible, and some contradictions within Serre have been clearly exposed in the eyes of many well-intentioned people.
Erastro was one of them, she was not ignorant of the acute and complex situation within Serge, and what happened to Penny Sean was a microcosm of the context of this great struggle, and now, the red-robed mage who had been forced to leave his homeland had enough capital to go back and get everything back...... An elegant smile full of etiquette appeared on Lady Silvermoon's face, and with the qualifications of the wizard opposite, if she returned to Serre and was able to successfully retrieve what she wanted, it would be conceivable that she would gain a position at the same time...... In the blink of an eye, Lady Silvermoon thought of a lot, she still knew a lot about Penny Sean, although it was not righteous, but it could not be regarded as evil, and becoming the ruling class in the red robe would probably not be as brutal and aggressive as other red-robed mages.
Perhaps this is an opportunity to establish another relationship with that terrible country, and at the same time to create another possibility...... "Yes, Mr. Sean, I welcome several ladies to visit and settle down, and I wish you all the best on your return home." She nodded at the witch and promised, "I'll send a teleporter to your mage tower soon." ”
"Thank you so much for your help, Lady Silvermoon. Penny hurriedly thanked him.
The image in the mirror vanished, and the wizard sat in the main control hub of the Mage Tower with his eyes closed until Vika walked in.
"Lady Silvermoon agreed?" she sat down in a chair next to her and pressed Penny's arm.
"Yes. The wizard nodded and opened his eyes, "I'm so sorry to ask you to leave your homeland because of my business." ”
"It's nothing?" Vica shook her head, smiled and pulled his palm and placed it in the palm of her hand, "Your business is my business, oh...... There is one more news for you. ”
"Huh?"
"My dad is awake. ”
"Oh?" the wizard raised his eyebrows, the news was unexpected.
"He appreciates what you've done, but you probably won't have time to look at him. Vica leaned back in her chair, looked at the wizard with her eyes, and sighed, "You're getting busier. ”
"There will always be a time to relax. The wizard picked the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes and pressed his temples: "All ready?"
"Ready, by the way, Miss Danrington of the Starscreen......" The corners of Vika's mouth moved, and finally she asked the question she was interested in, or the doubt that had lingered in her heart for a long time.
This girl has been living in the Mage Tower for a while, and according to Penny, it is only a matter of business and work, but Vika, who is in charge of this aspect of affairs, does not believe this set of nonsense - this eldest lady arrives at the Mage Tower, and spends all day in a daze except for sleeping, or is very sneaky and has private contact with Penny—all this is enough to make Vika suspicious, but whether it is her, Hiccol, or Lanny, she is full of confidence in the wizard's temperament- They didn't believe that Penny had moved such a young lady to the Mage Tower just to talk about business.
If they had known about Penny's show in Starlight City, these thoughts would have been even stronger.
It's just that I don't know that the reason why the wizard and Fina are mixed up is really for some work—about the work of the ancient empire and the tomb keeper.
The secrecy of the job left Penny unspeakable, and he could only silently endure the sometimes yin and yang sarcasm from Lannie, or the reproachful stare of Hiccol, or the smiling gaze of Vika...... And at this time, if Miss Fina is not in the way of the elders, she will deal with the wizard with a 'none of my business' attitude, and let him bear all this.
has supported such an ambiguous period of time, and now that it is an important moment, Vika naturally wants to ask clearly, where is this eldest lady going?
Of course, it is inconvenient for Penny to reveal the plan directly, so he can only use other reasons to perfunctory: "She will return to Starry City, and now no one outside knows about my relationship with her, so she is safe." ”
He lied like this, but he was also a little weak-hearted.
Although Penny looked different when she answered, Vika didn't dig deeper, maybe she also had no time to think about the upcoming events, and moving the family away from Simon was a big job - if Penny returned to Serre, then all the people close to Penny in Simon City would be in danger, so Vika had to move the entire family with her.
Knowing a series of great feats made by his son-in-law, Vica's father, Mr. Edmont, was first frightened by the resounding name of Samast, and just woke up, he almost fell into a coma again, with an enemy of this level, without the protection of reliable forces, Simon City could not stay in any case, so the proposal to move did not encounter much resistance.
"Well, bastard wizard, if you don't come back, I'll let her grow up and avenge you. Lanny held Saloras's little hand, and said with a heartless smile, such an unfortunate statement made Penny quite displeased, but he could only shake his head in a helpless manner, he looked at the face of his infant daughter, his heart warmed, pinched Saloras's face, and then looked at Oreses in Hiccol's arms, as if he did not know anything about what was going to happen, and the little girl with red eyes was still asleep.
Seeing Penny's gaze, Hickor raised his head and nodded slightly.
The wizard nodded as well, turned and walked out of the room, and began to arrange other business.
Descend all Simon's forces into an inconspicuous dark place, deal with everything, and when everything is dealt with, most of the people in the mage tower have already moved away, and only one person is left by his side.
"When did that person disappear?" she had been watching the relocation of the Mage Tower, and it was only when the work was about to end and the wizard began to rest that she noticed an inconspicuous detail and asked.
"That person, you mean the servant of the black-robed senior?" Penny thought for a while: "He has disappeared for a while, he should be looking for the black-robed senior." ”
"That's ...... Then you must pay attention to the fact that Hylathur's action is equivalent to cutting off contact with you. Ansenfia frowned.
"I've been paying attention. The wizard nodded slightly, but the confusion on his face showed that he disagreed with Ansenfia being so suspicious.
After all, Manson's clone was not Penny's, and since he had already helped him survive a catastrophe, it was not surprising that he naturally wanted to return it to its rightful owner, but the fact that the elder, who seemed to have a deep prejudice against Helast, tried to dig out some tricks from it, which inevitably made Penny feel unreasonable.
"I hope so. Ansenfia shook her head: "You'd better be wary of Haylasher, although you may have doubts about it, but as a wizard, I want you to make a suggestion, don't trust him easily." ”
She probably understood Penny's thoughts, and knew that she was not as credible as Hyrather was in Penny's heart, so she quickly changed the subject: "When are you going to leave?"
"It's coming. The wizard looked at the crystal ball under the control hub, and the scenery outside was clearly visible in the transparent sphere: "They should come too, and when I have dealt with them, I will leave the west gate." ”
The so-called 'they' naturally refer to the Searles who are about to come to attack, and after calculating the time with comprehensive intelligence, it is time to arrive
