Vol 4 Chapter 45: overture
"How did you disappear?" Lucian asked calmly.
Tangpu turned the report on his hand to make a final confirmation. The rustling sound of the paper passed into Lucian's ears: "They are monitored by a high-level combat mage and two middle-level mages. They arrived in Lentat yesterday A small church on the west side of the city never came out again. The high-ranking mage originally thought that Sarde had normalized the marginalization of radical clerics and night watchers during this time, and he didn't care. He didn't see any of Juliana and Minsk, and he had doubts and turned into a mouse. Who knows that no trace was found inside. "
This is the Kingdom of Holm. The number of magicians does not know how many times the church staff, so Tangpu can luxuriously monitor with high-level mage.
"Did they discover it and deliberately get rid of it?" Lucian thought of another possibility.
Tangpu knocked on the table: "This possibility is not ruled out, but the chances are not high, because they have been monitored this way in the past few months. They have not noticed any unusual behavior, and yesterday was as calm as usual."
"What about other clergymen and night watchmen who have been marginalized by Sarde?" Lucian expanded.
Tang Pu laughed, his voice was serious: "If they are missing, I will report directly to the highest judging panel, which shows that there must be something wrong with Sarde, and the plan must be adjusted. Only them are confirmed now. Both. "
Lucian frowned. "Twelve days before the operation begins, try to find them, but don't get Sarder's attention."
To Lucian's suggestions and reminders, Tang Pu has no dislike, and the entire staff of the Magic Council is guessing when he will become a great arcanist. He has entered the highest jury, and his current authority is on the panel, which is the same as that of several Nine-Ring Masters such as Laven.
"In addition to some anger, the radicals are still stable. The great prophet Sarde is really good at deceiving people." Tang Pu said a little. As a member of the Panel, the student dominated by the storm and a high-level magician who has passed the test of faith. He knows about cooperation, but he does not know the specific action arrangements.
Lucien was holding a quill in his hands, and it was not clear what was weird in this matter. What secret does it mean, but no matter what, Münster and Juliana are the haters of their night watchers, and there is a mix of personal revenge besides "righteousness". It is likely that any means can be used, so I asked Tong Pujia Great care of the Joels.
After finishing the communication. Lucien looked at the Arcane in front of him, but for a long time he couldn't concentrate, and he was irritable and impatient. The upcoming operation is really putting too much pressure on anyone who knows it, even if he is a person who is good at keeping calm. In the face of unknown dangers and unknown changes, there is still a feeling of depression and intolerance before the storm. Of course, more importantly, I am not alone, I do n’t need to think about other things, I have lovers, teachers, students, friends, and loved ones. Once things fail. The results can be terrible.
"Still remind the teacher and tell him the arrangement." Lucian knew that Tang Pu would report to Fernando, but decided to go to "Thunder Hell".
Just before leaving the office, Lucian saw Cherie knock on the door, and her face was a little sullen and depressed: "Teacher. Are you free?"
"What's the matter?" Lucian asked peacefully.
Cherie sat timidly on the back chair at Lucian's desk, and her hands huddled: "Teacher, I have a couple named Jacques, should you know? You and the one who signed the magic contract?"
"I remember, he's coming to get the blood potion?" Lucian nodded.
Cherie smiled embarrassedly: "He was very talented and hoped to become a knight on his own, but after signing that magic contract, his will could not be greatly enhanced. After several years of hard work, he still couldn't. , So I plan to use up the contract and leave no room for myself. "
"With the contract, not only does he have no future, no hope anymore." Lucien himself found a lover who wanted to be with her forever, and sympathized with Cherie and their couple.
Cherie's face went red: "So, I want to ask the teacher for your help. I have saved a lot of arcane points in the past few years. My father has given me a lot of quintals and materials, and Jacques worked hard to complete the mercenary mission. The accumulated wealth should be able to be exchanged for the 'source of blood' of high-level vampires, but I do not have this permission. "
"It's a trivial matter, and it's a magic contract. I'll redeem it for you later," Lucian said kindly.
Cherie breathed a long sigh of relief. She has a gentle personality and a thin skin. This matter has been lingering in her heart for a long time, and she didn't dare to speak. Now she urged courage to ask for a satisfactory answer, and she was naturally excited: "Thank you so much Teacher you. "
Lucien chuckled: "I have exchanged the origins of blood, ready to complete the ceremony myself? Speaking of which, Jacques is not bad, knowing that to complete the mercenary mission to make money, instead of relying on you blindly."
"This ritual is not complicated. I'm sorry to trouble you, I will post the task in the task area, and ask the necromancer or the magician of the deformed faction to come and preside over it." Cherie mentioned Jacques, with a cheerful and warm smile on her face. " He used to be a more exaggerated knight, but now he has a lot of solidity. "
Beside Lucian, the men who came and went to see them were all outstanding men. Cherie had a new understanding of the previous Jacques. Fortunately, he changed so much that his feelings continued.
Before Lucian spoke, Cherie praised and complained about Jacques: "His last mercenary mission was very dangerous. He was actually investigating a cult. He did not inspire the blood, and almost died. inside."
"Cult?" Lucian was sensitive to the word.
Cherie nodded: "Speaking of a cult, in fact, it has a close relationship with the Church of Truth. It is an organization established privately by some of the radical priests of Stuart. It seems to worship the King of Angels, and departs from the teachings of the Lord. "
After years of magical life, her faith is almost gone, but she is also used to calling "Lord".
Lucian frowned again: "The King of Angels ..." What exactly was Sarde thinking? Still thinking about crossing the Storm Channel in the future to unify the faith of the church?
As Cherie finishes the story, Lucien thinks: "As the church and the council stabilize each other in the new alien space, the situation in Holm will definitely become more and more dangerous. You remind your father to be prepared as soon as possible, and that which should be split is to prevent full war. "
"Well. My father has always been preparing for this, starting with an agreement between the family and the parliament." Cherie didn't think much of it.
After sending away Cherie, Lucien went directly to the 33rd floor of the Arlinger Magic Tower, preparing to go to Thunder Hell through a fixed teleportation array, and the teacher was in the study.
"You're here." Fernando seemed to have known that Lucian would come over.
Lucian nodded. "I know something unusual from Tonpu."
"He told me, but nothing else was found for the time being." Fernando had a map of Rantat's city in front of him. "Here are marked the locations where the radicals are marginalized, the areas where the different nobles are located, and the parts of the Lentart Divine Array."
This is a confidential map from Hathaway.
Lucien walked to the teacher, followed the map, and found that Sarde really marginalized the radicals, starting from the west. The more you go to the Glorious Cathedral and Nexer Palace in the southeast and northeast of the city, the fewer the number of radical clergymen and night watchmen. When the area of the aristocracy and the Glorious Cathedral is located, there will be no more. Even Stone's holy grail knights have been relocated to the vicinity of Lentart Abbey in the northwest of the city, completely like waiting for the magic council to start.
"It feels weird." Lucian looked at the map, but it wasn't strange. You can't get the answer even with astrology.
Fernando frowned, "It's too smooth and disturbing. Lucien, by then, Hercules will handle the parish of the North Coastal Corridor, Elica controls the Principality of Calais, and Vicente goes to the Kingdom of Colette And the parish of Briana, which has not yet been brought together by Sardela, was shot by Brooke with Holt. "
Hercules is the "monarch of qi". Another legendary magician in Palmera's cabin has deep control over the north. Erika is the "Master of Deformation" and historian of the Wizarding House. Since the headquarters of the Wizarding House is located in the Principality of Calais, it has a close relationship with the local aristocratic forces, so it is most suitable for her. reason. The relationship between the Immortal Throne Award was jointly awarded by the Kingdom of Camelot and Pale Hand.
The Song of the Silver Moon Alliance is headquartered in the Kingdom of Briana, and is handled by Brooke, with the cooperation of "Silver Moon Scholar" Chelsea Holt. The problem should be small.
"You must drive away and control as soon as possible, so that the nobles of these countries can no longer swing, otherwise they all have epic knights, and the situation will deteriorate rapidly with the cardinals," Lucian whispered.
Fernando nodded: "This time it ’s all about the time difference, Holm Parish, I and Hathaway took the lead, Douglas took control of the whole in Aringe, and the rest of the Arcanist and Legendary Magician acted as reserve forces. Join different battlefields at any time. "
"At that time, you do n’t want to stay in Aringe. I arrange you to go to the nexus palace in the northeast of the city there is a balance place where the powers of the divine enchantment meet. It is easy to be opened if the situation It became very unfavorable, and you immediately took Natasha's chaos and teleported away. Although Alinge was safe, if there was a problem, it must be the first target of the blow, and you are a deceiver of fate, and Natasha has the sword of truth. However, a small number of people will not be easily locked in action. You can hide in the endless ocean and wait for you to become a legendary magician, which is the hope of the revival of the council. "
"This is the 'Night Shuttle' scroll that I want from Stannis. He has some relationship with the Dark Council, and he got it from a vampire prince, which will help you break the space anchor and the space barrier."
Listening to the teacher's worst arrangement for the situation, Lucian suddenly felt that the surrounding atmosphere became depressed and solidified. (To be continued.

PS: change first and then change.
PS: The first two errors were corrected. The first was that when I wrote the special theory of relativity, I originally wanted to solve the problem of inertia and generalize it to a more general frame of reference. As a result, when I wrote it, I mixed it up and wrote it as an inertial frame.
The second is that Oliver's eyes should be black, remembered as blue, and have been modified.
