"Who is he?"

The mage looked at the man for a moment, confirming the strangeness in his heart.

He didn't know the man.

"It doesn't really matter who he is...... Well, I should still tell you. Rekita closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead: "His name is Senke, and he is a leader of the Red Valley Gang. You know, this gang has been destroyed. ”

The mage nodded, and looked at the scarred man again, his torso was strong, and the shape of his muscles could also see the marks left by years of fighting.

This is indeed a very formidable warrior.

"Well, he sneaked in and hid in his eyeliner house here, and our honest resident was very decisive in reporting the situation to me. ”

Speaking of this, the female red robe laughed 'ha', and seemed to think it was funny: "So he is here." ”

Penny nodded, and saw the female red robe take out a badge-like item and hand it to him.

He took it and looked at it carefully.

It was like a badge that belonged to a red-robed mage, but there were some noticeable differences.

Because there's a huge skeleton in the middle.

"This is what I found from him, from his deputy. I'm trying to use sorcery to get information out of his head, do you want to know, what do I know?" Rikita raised an eyebrow.

"Of course. ”

He wanted to know where Rekita sensed danger.

"This emblem represents a colleague from the Necromancy. ”

Penny's heart skipped a beat, and he seemed to understand something.

"Moreover, he is still a high-ranking Ring Master senior, and in that mountainous area where magic power is limited, the power of this level is probably the top layer. Rikita walked in and took the emblem, and with a light tap, a shadow flew out of it.

For a moment, Penny felt a powerful 'power' spread from the center of the emblem, as if a will had entered his mind, and a black shadow like a skeleton suddenly appeared in front of him, and disappeared in an instant.

Penny didn't move for a long time, staring at the emblem and frowning.

"Do you see this shadow?"

The mage nodded.

"I know it. Rekita nodded, "I saw a tutor in the Higher Academy, and he has this thing hidden in his emblem. ”

"Oh?" Penny raised an eyebrow, was there anything special about this?

"I also played the role of assistant in the magic experiment that killed him. Rekita said lightly: "I found out afterwards that he was a member of the Inquisition when I was called in by a secret unit to participate in the investigation. ”

"Uh......" Penny glared.

This news made him feel a little speechless, but he didn't expect that this dead Ring Mentor was actually his teacher's colleague.

He looked at Rekita, knowing that he shouldn't have told her more about the Inquisition.

"Well, in fact, I deduced a lot of information using spells, and in fact, this bandit leader didn't know that his advisor was a member of the Mage Society, let alone that he might be an agent from the Inquisition. ”

Rekita tossed the emblem to Penny, withdrew her hand and held her glasses, her eyelids closed not too tightly and the light flickering below showed her thoughts, but soon, she finished thinking and turned her head: "By squeezing this man's brain, I also got a message that the advisor seems to have been guiding them to find a settlement in the mountains...... They were only going to deal with the attack of the lion owls, but after they found the tribe, another force of unknown origin joined the battle......" Rekita smiled, "Among them are some high-ranking red-robed officers. ”

"Oh?" Penny frowned.

"So, I don't know what's in that mountain, but I'm sure the water in this mountain is much deeper than I thought. She straightened the hem of the red robe, and her fingers brushed her waist, and the folds on the red robe were slightly smoother: "I'm not sure if I'm capable of participating in this matter, or if I'll be safe and sound after stirring up this muddy water, so dear Sean, after careful consideration, I can only choose to leave." ”

She looked at the mage silently, and Penny looked up from her musings, seeing that her expression seemed a little unusual.

"It seems...... You know something. But it seems like I shouldn't know about it. Rekita raised an eyebrow, "Well, it's time for me to go, knowing that no one is going to use a costly prayer spell for my death." ”

"Actually......" Penny was still thinking about how to keep this female red robe with too keen sense of smell, but the other party's argument was indeed impeccable.

What's more, he really didn't have any confidence in protecting the other party in this whirlpool.

Exposed to such a big shady scene, he himself has no confidence in self-preservation.

However, he couldn't stop the idea of getting involved.

At the very least, Penny doesn't think it's a good fit for his own outlook on life, knowing that his mentor is caught up in a maelstrom of danger.

He exhaled and shook his head. looked at Likita on the side, and her mood was very low: "Actually, you don't need to care too much about my thoughts, your views are very much in line with our values." ”

"Maybe it's in line with the Red Mage, but I'm sure you won't be happy about it, dear Sean. She shook her head and looked deeply at the male mage's face, "I think I still have some understanding of you. ”

"Ha, I really didn't expect that. Penny heard Rekita's words and had a ridiculous feeling, "You care so much about what I think?"

This doesn't seem to be in line with the concept of the red-robed mage.

"Mutual understanding and respect are based on recognition of each other's values, Penny, I don't know what you imagine of me, a paranoid snake or a colorful centipede, but I think it's a wonderful thing to meet you in your career as a red-robed mage. Her tone was a little heavy, different from the gloom of the past, and her expression was also a little relaxed: "Most of our colleagues belong to us, as a companion as well as as an enemy, you are a very suitable person to be a companion, at least on the same side as you, I don't have to worry about your calculations." ”

"Is that so?" the mage spread his hands.

He didn't expect that he would have such a high opinion in Rekita's heart, but it was useless to know, he knew very well that a sane and self-centered red-robed mage would not be willing to live and die with Penny because of this evaluation.

It is impossible for this word to appear in the dictionary of the red-robed mage.

"Goodbye, Sean, actually ......" Rekita, who turned around and wanted to leave, paused, as if something was going to happen, Panny raised her eyebrows, but saw that she was finished groaning, but she shook her head: "Forget it...... I would recommend that you get out of here as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you for your advice. His instinct told Penny that there was something he hadn't said, but in a depressed mood, he didn't continue to ask, and after a few breaths, the mage disappeared into the room.

Penny was silent for a while, and walked out of the basement, but at the door was the female Knight of Rekita, who was holding a parchment scroll: "My lord, Mademoiselle asked me to give this to you. ”

He recognized it as Rikita's administrative motto, and he nodded and took it, and after the female Serge knight saluted, she also disappeared from Penny's eyes. He flipped through the pages, and the bottom page was the information that had been tortured from the mouth of the bandit leader of the Red Valley, including the rough location of the settlement...... There are so many indigenous tribes in the mountains that this settlement can attract the attention of the Inquisition, and it is clear that there is something important hidden in it...... Could it be that 'bloodline'?

The mage walked back to his office and tapped the magic gem on his finger, placing it on the table, and soon after, a cluster of flashes of light appeared on the gem, and after the light passed, the image of Jan Washi appeared above the smoke.

Since he was willing to work for the court, effective means of communication were also necessary, especially when the matter was urgent, and when he saw the inscription and emblem presented by the mage, Zhan Huashi's influence fell into a long silence.

He pondered for about ten minutes before slowly raising his head: "How can I thank you, my dear disciple?"

"Looks like this news is very helpful to you?"

"Of course. Zhan Huashi nodded: "What is certain is that the settlement is in the hands of a certain adult. ”

"Teacher...... I want to ask you something......" After a moment's hesitation, Penny hesitated.

"You look a little confused......"

"Yes...... I want to ask, teacher, in the past ten years, the Inquisition Court really knows nothing about the things in that mountainous area?"

The question silenced Mr. Jandsh.

Penny just sat there waiting.

Even if he was to be caught up in the maelstrom, Penny didn't think he should just dive into it.

According to the rumored history, the strange state of that mountainous area should have been ten years now, although the town of Helen has never been safe for hundreds of years under the war of Selmulan, but such an important area must have been noticed by the red-robed mage for a long time, and ten years ago, there was even a legendary mage who disappeared there.

It stands to reason that it should be a big enough event to stir up the entire Searle, but until now, it has been quiet, not to mention the lower-level members of the Red-robed Mage Society, that is, some middle-level high-level members, who are still not familiar with that mountainous area, or rather, they have maintained a tacit silence.

"It seems that our secrecy is still a little unreasonable in your eyes?" said Jenhuas, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, teacher, I doubt ......" Penny tilted his head in thought for a moment, "Is it possible that someone is using the Inquisition to distract from the view there, trying to find an opportunity to take control of that territory......"

A smuggling case may be a worthy target for a trial court, but being in such a sensitive place at such a sensitive time cannot help but make people think of it.

Zhan Huashi was silent for a long time, and then exhaled: "My student, your idea is very reasonable. ”

"Makes sense?" Penny stood up, "Dear teacher, I don't think we deserve to be taken advantage of like this. ”

"Exploitation?" said Jenhuas, "Penny, do you think I'm being used?"

Penny nodded, he couldn't think of anything about Jonworth's situation that didn't fit the trait of being used.

"Well, I would like to say that in the Red Robe Mage Society, there is no one who can not be taken advantage of. Zhan Huashi shrugged helplessly: "My disciple, I am serving in the Inquisition after all. ”

Penny was speechless, although most of Serge's rules had explicit or covert surnames, and there were a lot of unspoken rules that allowed red-robed mages to exploit loopholes in them, but there were a few departments closely related to the existence of red-robed mages and Searle, and the rules were not too loose.

"Penny, the information you provided is useful. Zhan Huashi nodded: "Don't get too involved, you just concentrate on dealing with the bandits and those smugglers in the north, and the place in the forbidden demon zone deep in the mountains, you better treat it as if you don't know about it." ”

With that, the smoke vanished along with his effects.

Pretending not to know...... Penny furrowed his brow, could he really pretend not to know?

Maybe you should take a chance to take a look at it first.

He carefully put away the books and walked slowly out of the room.
