The streets of the harbor area are bustling, and Arnell sits behind her desk with a breakfast plate and yawns, with listless dark circles under her eyes, and it looks like she hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

In fact, he did just curl up on the couch these days, not as a gentleman, but the sharp knife in the girl's hand was a little scary, and he wisely stopped all his excesses.

He put the two nuts in his mouth, chewed them with a clattering sound, looked back through the crack in the door and looked at the cold-faced girl sitting on the bed in the bedroom, his heart moved, he threw a nut over, she opened her mouth, and the nut fell into her mouth, as if she didn't feel anything wrong, she crunched and chewed.

Arnell was dumbfounded for a moment, shook her head, and suddenly saw her disappear in place with a burst of shadows, and at this moment, the crystal ball light on the side flickered, and a familiar face appeared in front of the half-elf's eyes.

"Hey, I said boss~" He waved his hand and said hello with a headache: "I'm getting more and more used to it since you used this thing." ”

"Sooner or later you'll get used to it. Penny didn't feel how abnormal he was, instead he thought that as a high-ranking wizard, it was normal to live in seclusion, and given the growing number of people interested in him inside and outside the Dragon's Coast, such a crystal ball had been sent to all of his trusted men.

"Well, my dear boss, I wonder what you're looking for me?" asked Arnell listlessly as he chewed on his food.

"Cheer up, I need your help. Penny said, "You used to be a harpist, didn't you?"

"Huh?" Arnell raised an eyebrow, and when he heard this, a wariness appeared on his face: "Dear boss, I haven't been in contact with them for a long time. ”

"No kidding, Arnell, if you hadn't kept in touch with them, they'd already found my head. Penny shook his head, "I also have to thank you for not leaking my most important news." ”

The half-elf laughed dryly, as the wizard said, he was still working for the harpist, and a character like Pan Diesel would not have been able to escape the harpist's sight, especially since the wizard's background was so complex that it was very noteworthy.

However, Arnell also knew that he was probably not fully trusted by Penny, so he also had reservations about the news that was passed on - at least those sensitive news, he did not pass it on, and now it seems that it is still necessary to do so.

The wizard was indeed wary of him.

If he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and shook out the conspiracy of Pan Diesel in Simon Texture, I am afraid that he would have been extinguished long ago, and Arnell believes that Penny will definitely do this kind of thing.

That is, he is not black-hearted, and he is not vicious, what is a red-robed mage?

"In fact, I was trying to contact them. Penny's next words startled Arnell, and even wondered if he had misheard, until the wizard confirmed it again and again, and he opened his mouth:

"Dear boss, it's not easy to please them. ”

It's really unthinkable, a red-robed mage with a vicious and vicious style actually took the initiative to contact a harpist who represents justice?

Penny himself thinks it's nothing to make a fuss about.

Although he has some disdain for the goddess of magic - most of the anti-magic netists on the mainland, including the immigrants of Nessreel and large wizarding organizations such as the Red Robe Mage Guild do not like this goddess, and Penny, who has received the education of the Red Robe Mage Society in this life, is no exception, but it is not pleasing to the eye, in addition to being born in the Red Robe Mage Guild in his life, he has not had any conflicts with this organization in other places, so he can contact it.

I believe that these self-proclaimed righteous magic messengers will not turn him away as a 'single-minded and good-minded' red-robed mage.

Penny thought.

Sure enough, just a moment later, on the ground on the side of the wizard's image, a teleported light appeared, and after the light, a tall, fair-skinned woman in a gorgeous robe appeared there, and Arnell also had a look of surprise on her face when she saw this woman's arrival, and it seemed that she did not expect this woman's arrival.

Penny frowned, his keen instincts allowed him to perceive the extraordinary power of this woman through the image of the crystal ball, which made her secretly frightened, especially the deep pupils, the bright light in them made him feel awe-inspiring just by looking at them.

Who exactly did Arnell summon?

This woman must be a person of high status among the harpists.

At a glance, Penny decided on this.

She looked at the portraits hanging around her, frowned, and then conjured a delicate chair out of thin air, sat down in front of the wizard's crystal ball, waved her long silver hair, and stared at Penny above the crystal ball with two bright eyes.

"You're Mr. Pan Diesel, or should I call you Mr. Sean, I'm Leila Silverhand, and it's a shame I didn't see you in Waterdeep. ”

Kelburn Blackrod's wife, one of the famous Seven Sisters, the famous Wizarding Ranger of the Northlands, appears here, much to Penny's surprise, but not too unexpectedly.

Although the ** division Blackrod broke away from the harpist very early and established a new 'justice' spy organization Moonstar, as one of the founders of the harpist, the relationship between Moonstar and the harpist is broken, although he is no longer a harpist, but the name of Kelburn Blackrod still has enough weight in this organization, and Leila Silverhand has always been respected by the harpists.

Therefore, Penny was only slightly surprised, and then returned to his normal state of mind, and came to face this legendary figure who had been sung by the minstrel of the continent of Faeron for more than six hundred years.

As a voter, Leila Silverhand's face was as beautiful as when she was younger, but the wizard didn't appreciate the beauty of the tall eyebrows and aggressive surnames, and the oversized frame made Penny look a little harsh - he didn't like women taller than him.

It's just that the seven sisters are all so burly.

So the appreciation of the beauty of this elect ends here.

He coughed lightly, "I really didn't expect you to come, respected lady Silverhand." ”

The hint of disappointment in the wizard's eyes made Leila Silver frown slightly, she didn't know that this wizard who was countless times younger than him was disappointed by her appearance, but she was also obviously displeased, not to mention that she was already in a bad mood.

"Although I appreciate your great achievements in Ximen City, is it a bit rude to treat a guest from afar with only videos?" She frowned, raised her right hand to guide a spell, a powerful source vibration was directly transmitted through the crystal ball to the wizard's tower where the wizard was, this wave turned into a powerful force, with the fingers of Leila Silver's hand on the crystal ball, the light ribbon of rune lines appeared around Penny's body, he felt a panny, this woman actually wanted to drag him through the image of the crystal ball.

This is not a very difficult technique, since he has established a connection with the crystal ball, so a clever wizard can find him through this connection, and it is not impossible to complete this positioning transfer with a forced summoning technique.

However, seeing that Leila Silver Hand made such a difficult spell move with such a simple move, Penny was still not too surprised, among the seven sisters, Leila Silver Hand's spell achievements are not as good as the witchcraft queen Xinbu and the silver moon city lord Erastro, although it cannot be underestimated, but many times it is covered by the light of her ** master's husband, but now the hand that is revealed let Penny know that this woman's witchcraft is definitely not to be underestimated.

A wave of anger burned in his heart at the same time, he didn't know that his own negligence and the inadvertent contempt he showed made this lady who had always been respected unhappy, it was too rude to drag people with a spell at such a glance, he knew that turning off the contact with the crystal ball now would be able to neutralize the spell of Leila's silver hand, but in this way, the momentum would be down, so he didn't do it, but opened the eye of time.

He decided to experiment with the by-products obtained in the course of the confrontation with Penderim.

"Dear Lady Leila, please believe that my actions are motivated by a wizard's sensitivity to his own safety. He bowed slightly, but his eyes were on the gaze of Lyra's silver hand as it stared at the crystal ball.

The wizard's hourglass-shaped pupils startled Lyra Silverhand, who had read about the blessing or curse of time in one of the books of the Calben's Black Rod, and through which she saw her own reflection.

As the hourglass swirled, her face remained the same—the power given to her by the divine power of the elect, but she was shocked to see her surroundings rapidly weathered, and the half-elf ranger not far away turned into a skeleton in a few breaths, and then into a pile of broken bones in the next moment, and the room she was in changed from spacious and tidy to dilapidated and dirty, and then to a few weathered ruins.

Of course, this was not the end, as everything turned into a piece of turquoise water, and over time into a scorched, dry desert, Leila Silverhand's expression finally changed.

This is not an illusion, but a future long in the future, when everything is doomed to die before her eyes, and her body is still alive, this strong sense of contradiction causes a nightmarish panic in Leila Silverhand's heart for a moment, and she finally knows why the Eye of Time is called a curse from time.

Not only her, but even the wizard himself who turned the eye of time was a little overwhelmed, and closed his right eye as the 'future' advanced to the dry desert, which was indeed a very severe test of nerves.

Penny knew that if the hands of time were turned to the end, although Leila Silverhand would feel a huge mental shock, Penny, who also suffered a mental shock of this level, would be more traumatized herself.

This tells wizards that this ability should not be used much, even to scare people.

But on the other hand, the wizard thought that he could exercise his nerves in this way, and for a mage, psychological quality is also very important.

His fright had apparently paid off, and as a direct result of that the power of the forced summoning spell acting on him through the crystal ball had dissipated completely, and the Wizard Ranger of Waterdeep, who had regained his composure, looked at Penny with a little more guard in his eyes.

"Dear lady silverhand, perhaps we can have a good conversation in a suitable place, the White House meeting room is very nice, we can make some black tea and coffee in it, and of course, you may also like the taste of red wine, our merchant has just imported a new batch from the southern coast of Vihon, and it tastes quite good. "Penny's image glanced at Arnell, who was still in a state of shock—even though the wizard's direct target was Leila Silverhand, but being overshadowed by Penny's vision, Arnell still felt the nightmarish future, and the mental damage was even more severe—and he 'saw' himself from a living person to a few pieces of weathered bones, and the impact of this image on his soul can be imagined.

He hadn't reacted yet, and he hadn't noticed that Penny's gaze paused for a long moment in the shadows beside him before he turned to Lyra Silverhand to say this.

In any case, it was a bit too much to prevaricate with an image in the face of a distinguished guest of this calibre, and after subtly warning Leila Silverhand of her faux pas, Penny felt the need to revert to politeness once again.

Leila stared at the wizard with a solemn expression, although she was defeated in this confrontation, she also understood that the words still had to be discussed, and the wizard in front of her was a very valuable person.

The confrontation just now undoubtedly told her that this was a person not to be insulted.

It would be nice to be able to pull him into his mother's camp.

It has to be said that the current harpists and the Mistra church still have a positive view of Penny.

In any case, this wizard has defeated the Night King, and has also broken away from the Red Robe Wizards Society, so there is no reason why it is impossible to turn his head and fight for the cause of goodness and justice in the Continent of Faeron under the light of the Goddess of Magic.

Well, many overly naïve harpists have such thoughts.

However, as far as Penny himself is concerned, it is not impossible to use this powerful force to his own advantage, and make some compromises.

And he himself does have something that the Goddess elect are interested in.

...... It was a long time before the half-elf Arnell let out a long breath and sat limply in his chair, turning his head limply and the girl's body floating out of the shadows beside him.

He frowned, before the wizard's eye of time was activated, he clearly felt a disordered malice from the girl, as if it had leaked out because of a sudden vision, but this malice was not firm enough, and seemed to be a little shaken.

Although she was as expressionless as ever, the sweat on her forehead could still tell the emotions in her heart, and when Arnell was wondering, she suddenly glanced at the half-elf, and then ran out expressionlessly.

"Where do you want to go?"

Arnell cried out and chased after him, but he could only shake his head in frustration as he looked at the empty streets.
