Vol 9 Chapter 14: Old fox
After stepping out of the door of the small hotel, Sharp's body shattered like water bubbles and disappeared into the thick night. Old Green didn't look away, and said hoarsely, "Are you ready to accept his mission?"
"Whether we will eventually accept it or not, the most important issue at the moment is that it is no longer safe here and we must move immediately." Douglas looked serious.
Fernando also woke up and mumbled, "The acceptance of this task is determined by the old men. All we can do is leave here, and then we need to establish another place for contact and transfer."
This is an obvious problem. Even if the union agrees to take on the task of assassinating Alfonso and establishes a good private cooperative relationship with the large nobles represented by Sharp, it will not expose the contact points that are important to the entire organization. In their sight, if communication is needed, it is better to maintain a smaller and more one-way channel, such as the task of Lao Green.
In this kind of thing, carelessness only means that the organization is not far from the demise!
Then Fernando feared that the wall would ear-to-heart connect Douglas and Old Green Road: "See you in the underwater ruins of Lake Lamorage."
"Okay, you set off first, I have to leave some secrets to warn the mage who came during this time." Lao Green looked around the small hotel lobby, with obvious sighs and perseverance in his tone, as if forced to leave Having worked hard for decades on his own home, he had to go far away.
Fernando scoffed: "What if you lose this shabby place, what a pity?"
"In fact, this is the 'family industry' that my great-grandfather started to run." Lao Green's tone was flat, without any irritation, as if talking about other people's affairs.
Fernando froze. He looked down at his toes, raised his head, and looked at the wine cooler behind Old Green with a pair of bright red eyes: "Maybe this hotel will still be preserved. You are a sky knight and have a lot of nobles. Good relationship. It may come in handy in the future, but there won't be so many magicians here ... "
He spoke chaotically without a word.
"Get out of here, grumpy kid! I don't need your sympathy!" Lao Green suddenly burst out a **** and interrupted Fernando's words.
Fernando's face flushed slightly, and he snorted, "I have no sympathy for the black-clawed dog.
After speaking, he turned and left.
Old Green raised his chin. He signaled Douglas to keep up, and hey he said, "Isn't Necromancer often saying that lying in the graveyard is the beginning of life?"
"What do those rotten rotten corpses know about life?" Fernando said without looking back.
"You stupid boy, he's not as old as I am, knowing what life is?" Old Green "will not show weakness."
In Douglas's slightly helpless eyes, the two kept arguing until Fernando stepped out of the door. Blend into the night.
…………
Under the starlight, the lake shimmered a bit, the waves were wavy, and the tranquility was quiet. There are many such lakes, scattered like pearls, scattered on the ground. A string of dreamy necklaces.
"It is indeed 'the land of a thousand lakes' ..." Douglas floating on the lake said in admiration, taking a deep breath of fresh air with the smell of light water.
Fernando was a little surprised and said, "Do you know the land of a thousand lakes?"
"Of course, its reputation has come to Antivre with the magicians coming and going." Douglas grinned.
"What's so nice about this ..." Fernando murmured quietly without aesthetic appeal, and then said, "This is Lake Lamorage, follow me carefully."
Douglas looked at the lake and found that it was not large. Some people believed that it was a giant puddle. Can such a small lake have underwater ruins?
The two cast spells and fell into the water. Quickly sank to the bottom of the lake in the rippling waves.
Fernando noticed Douglas's strangeness and explained in the mental connection: "I don't know which idiot magician built it. Maybe he wants to connect the whole land of thousands of lakes, but it is also because of his idiot. This remains has not been discovered, and the church cannot imagine that there will be ruins under such a small, resourceless lake. "
There is a small cave hidden under a boulder. It is not like it was opened for human beings, but it is like a nest of some aquatic life.
Fernando gasified the body directly and got into it. Douglas didn't hesitate and followed the gasification.
After crossing the winding narrow "pipes", Douglas found himself in a palace where many magicians came and went and were quite alert to their arrival, but after seeing Fernando's familiar beauty Later, they all turned their heads and were busy with their own affairs, such as the exchange of alchemy materials and magic books, such as asking others to make articles.
Among them, a high-level magician directly cast magic to check whether Fernando was deformed or disguised by others. In this regard, the magicians who have been described as "sewer rats" are much more vigilant than the referees because they are not vigilant enough. , Are dead, or "learned" to "watch out" at an expensive price.
"It just feels like a magician gathering here ..." Douglas said with a sigh of relief.
"Douglas, Fernando, you've come just right. The President knows what happened just now, and invites you to meet him." Roland, who escaped early under Fernando's cover, ran over.
"This is the headquarters of the union?" Douglas was a little surprised, but Fernando hadn't mentioned it before.
Fernando also felt weird: "President is here?"
"Um." Roland nodded, and looked at Fernando up and down, "You're all right. The president was prepared to meet Douglas here and hold a core meeting, but the grilled fish hotel had an accident ..."
It seemed to be on my guard, and it wasn't that fast to let me know where the headquarters are ... Douglas secretly whispered, but he always did not care about such a small problem and nodded generously: "Roland, please take us to see the president . "
"The dummies they ordered ..." Fernando followed behind Douglas. Scolded quickly.
Passing through a stone-paved martyrdom, a hall full of strange patterns appeared at the end. An old man with white hair and a spirited greet strode out, chuckling and laughing: "Welcome you to join our magician union Union. Douglas, you are an excellent magician. Your research on curves and irregular figures has come before us. If you have the opportunity, I hope to ask you. "
Douglas froze for a moment, and the chairman of the Union of Wizards, Arnold, knew that he was studying "flow"?
"Liu Shu" is the name of the preliminary mathematical part of the part he studied for himself. But he increasingly felt that the name was not appropriate, and he planned to change it.
Douglas' surprise didn't last long, and he soon realized that his communication with Fernando in the past few days has probably been followed by Arnold. He even set a core meeting after a few days. Maybe also to have time to "observe" yourself.
Being a leader of a fairly large magic organization is really not easy!
"I have been inspired by the research of many great magicians in the past," Douglas said humbly.
Arnold had few wrinkles, his face was rosy, and he pointed at Douglas with a smile: "Don't be humble. If you can study successfully, then the difficulty of learning and building all magic will be greatly reduced. This will bring us a better future. Okay. Let ’s not talk about this today, but mainly talk about the task given by the “dark blue demon”. By the way, this is Rig, you have seen, this is Ramon, Veronica, all of the union. Vice president."
He introduced a few people who followed him. He had a lot of wrinkles and a eagle with a hawk nose. There are tall and thin, a horse-faced Ramon, blonde hair raised high, Veronica with green eyes like gems, and they all wear typical magic empire robes. Gloomy and deep.
After greeting him one by one, Douglas smiled at a brown-haired young man next to Arnold: "Garros, long time no see."
The young man's hair was neatly separated from the sides, the tall collar reached the top of his head, with a cynical smile on his face: "I didn't expect you to be able to do a raid on the referee. This is Fernando's style."
He introduced Garros, a friend of Fernando and Roland, a student of Arnold, and a six-ring high-level mage.
"Huh, are you envious?" Fernando didn't suffer at all.
Garros laughed, black eyes looked at the toes, and didn't answer, because President Arnold began to ask: "What do you think of the mission entrusted by the Dark Blue Demon?"
The approaching Roland quietly exited the palace and closed the gate.
Lige said with a somber face: "He just warned us with this task, there is no need to get involved in this problem."
"But if we can do it? Will he really value us and work with us initially?" Ramon pulled a long face against his opinion.
"First, we need to be able to do it!" Rig and Veronica said at the same time, the sentences were different, but the meaning was the same.
The scene suddenly calmed down, and even Fernando did not dare to boast that Alfonso was not difficult to kill, after all, the union was currently staring at "Heart of Time" Ketonia.
Arnold seemed satisfied with the situation, with a constant smile on his face, and coughed two times: "It's not like we haven't had a chance to complete this task."
"President, don't make a joke!" Rig said seriously.
"It's really impossible to rely solely on our own strength, but what if there are other magical organizations working together? They don't get the attention of the Heart of Time." Arnold laughed with a good temper, and then said to everyone I continued to say before, "I have been busy in contacting other magical organizations during this time, and just happened to have achieved some results. Many magical organizations were invited to visit Aringe to discuss cooperation issues, so I will Today's meeting is set here, not the headquarters, because 'Allinge' is also near Lentat. "
He explained why he didn't take Douglas to headquarters.
"President, are you sure you can persuade those organizations to cooperate?" Veronica pointed directly at the core of the question.
Arnold smiled slyly, like an old fox: "If they know that we are joining forces with the" Dark Blue Demon ", the deputy head of the Knight of the" Sword of Truth ", they will definitely be willing to cooperate with us to complete this task www. novelmtl.com Contacting the aristocracy against the church is not the only strategy we can think of. "
"When did we cooperate with 'Dark Blue Demon'?" This time even Ramon was puzzled.
Anold laughed with a smile: "After completing the mission to assassinate Alfonso with other organizations, he should value our power."
Fernando twitched the corner of his mouth, the president was too treacherous!
"Which organizations are going to 'Aringe' this time?" Rig thought for a moment, and asked no more questions about the task.
Arnold nodded: "Rest assured, the organizations I invite are weaker than us, not the legendary organizations like Palmera's Cabin, Death Scythe, and Dance of Chaos. Among them, It is worth noting that there are one or two Nine-Ring Archmage's "Red Eyes", "Soul Supreme", "Shadow Singer" and "Destroyer Tower", and there are more than ten or twenty ordinary organizations without Nine-Ring Masters. . "
"At that time, I, Douglas and Fernando will participate." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please To reading.)
