Advent of the Archmage Chapter 259: Being corrupted? (2/4)
The greatest motivation for wisdom to understand the world is curiosity.
Curious is not good or bad, but magic is.
If there is no restriction, then a magician will go further and further on the road of magic. Eventually, he will become a magic puppet.
It's good to be a magic puppet, but more often, the magician will be seduced by black magic, completely fallen, and become a slave of darkness.
In history, there are countless examples of this. Gorefiend Taron, Mole Stern, Ankeru, etc., and even the recent Vevil are promising magic geniuses. Way back.
Even in the history of High Elves, there is no shortage of similar precedents.
So, when Mirda saw this magic letter with dark runes, he looked at Link a little differently.
Vivil in the south has fallen. Is the magic genius of Norton Kingdom in the north also tainted with black magic?
Milda only knew Link today. She didn't know about him. Now something like this has happened. She instinctively doubts it and feels that the problem is serious.
Her face is frosty: "Linke, I think you need to explain."
Linke also frowned. He didn't understand who would send him such a letter, but he had a clear conscience, saying: "Let ’s go, Advanced House, go to the 2nd floor lobby. I will open the letter on the spot and see What exactly is written inside. "
The three high elves looked at each other for a few moments, but their faces were wary. Unconsciously, a wand appeared on their hands. Milda shook her head and said, "You don't have to go upstairs, you can just dismantle here."
It looks like he's ready to start as soon as he finds something wrong.
You can't blame them for being overreacted. Although the incident in South Weville has just happened, it has spread all over the continent.
Vierville also acted without a word, and the result was a tragedy. Link was ten times more scary than Viville. If there was a problem, he would be caught off guard. The three of them might catch a surprise if they were caught off guard.
For Link, if he's the only one here, then he doesn't matter, he just dismantled, but many people watched next to him, Joshua, the soldiers in the past, the residents of Scorched Earth, etc. At this time I looked over.
These well-dressed magicians are facing each other here, which is particularly interesting. Some time later, there will be rumors.
This happened to Link's territory, which was bad for Link.
Linke was slightly annoyed about Mirda's actions, but it was useless to see Domirda and others with a determined look. It was useless to know that he was angry. The other party was a high elven princess and there were two 7th-level Magicians, what battles have not been seen, what they have decided, it is estimated that it is difficult to change.
Forcing confrontation will only make things bigger and bigger.
‘I do n’t know who is so secretly thinking about me, and sent me this ghost! ’
Suppressing his anger, Link took a step back and nodded: "As you wish."
He is going to open the letter.
At this time, a voice came from the side: "Master Link, you finally came back, we are waiting for you."
Linke turned around and saw the two masters of magic, Glensea and Fontland, coming side by side.
Glenxi glanced over at the letter in Link's hand, and looked at the three high-elves with vigilant faces, chuckling: "It's just a magic letter. What's the big deal, stay here. What are you doing at this door? Walk around and go inside and say. "
Speaking, Gruntin reached out, took the letter from Link, and became a house.
Feng Delan followed, patted Link's shoulder, and turned to the three high elves: "Young man, don't worry, it's just a trivial matter. Go into the house."
There are two magic masters making a clearance, Mirda and the two high elves around him glanced at each other, and finally followed into the wooden building.
The group went to the second floor of the chamber and found seats.
After sitting down, Glenn said, "This letter arrived two days ago. When we first arrived, we felt wrong, but the letter was signed to Master Link, so we didn't move. , Just wait for Link to come back. "
After speaking, he looked at Link. Although his expression was calm, he could see that he was waiting for Link's explanation.
Linke's face was confused: "I'm also surprised who would send this to me."
Speaking, he pushed the letter to the center of the table and said, "His Highness Mirda obviously doubts me. For the sake of justice, I will not break the letter. Your Highness, how about you?"
"Yes." Mirda nodded calmly, and started the mage's hand to unlock the letter from a distance.
After the envelope was unsealed, the dark atmosphere became much richer. You can clearly see a black smoke emerging from the envelope. This smoke condenses over the envelope, forming a human face, and a pleasant voice comes out.
"Oh, Link, my friend, I'm glad you are interested in my field. Last time I parted, I always miss you. I am honored to receive your letter again this time, and I am very happy To answer your doubts in the soul realm ... "
Then the voice started.
He talked about the magical technique of extracting the soul of ordinary people from the body. He said it for fifteen minutes, and said at the end, "This method works well, but it is only a basic method. If you are interested, please Continue to write to me, and I'm happy to answer your related doubts. "
After speaking, the black mist dissipates. Looking at the magic letter again, it has returned to its original state. Seeing that there is still a gray-white stationery in the envelope, Mirda pulled the stationery out and unfolded, exactly what Heiwu just said.
She looked at the end of the stationery again, and saw a disgusting name written on it: Verville Vossridge.
Milda was taken aback: "Linke, you have a relationship with Veville?"
Linke shook his head and denied: "No."
Romsen interjected: "Master Link, the letter says that you have been to the South once ........ and as far as we know, you did go some time ago and brought back a magic Tiger. "
As high-elf human-level magicians most valued, they have a fairly comprehensive understanding of Link ’s past. When Link goes to the south, he can hide ordinary people, but for the magician who wants to investigate, this is not the same. No secret.
The high elf's words were not fully explained, but the underlying meaning is obvious. The information in this letter shows that Link and Vivell knew each other. He even went to the south to meet him. They had a good relationship.
But now that Verville has become a black magician, he writes to Link and discusses black magic with him, which is a bit mysterious.
In particular, Lin Kezhen went to the south, shortly before Veville fell.
Linke's face remained unchanged, he calmly explained: "I went to the south to find Celine, and had nothing to do with Vivil. As for the devil, it was incidentally encountered on the road. He was being black magic at the time. Ankuru hunted down and I saved him. "
"Who is Celine?" Milda asked.
"My ... good friend," said Link, "if needed, I can now ask someone to come over, and she's in Scorched Earth."
"It's not necessary. I know Celine. She is a good girl." Feng Delan said.
He looked around the crowd and said, "I think this is a very obvious frame. I know Master Link very well. If he really touches black magic, he will not be exposed for this poor reason. No one of us can do this, it's so stupid! "
This is the truth. Sending letters, and especially drawing dark runes on envelopes, are too obvious tricks to get involved.
However, Mirda shook her head: "No, I don't think things are so simple. This is Link's territory, and ordinary people don't know dark runes at all, so drawing dark runes is not a big deal ... .... Simply speaking, this letter is somewhat unsuccessful, but Mr. Linke did go south once. This time, apart from bringing back Celine and Devil Tiger, no one knew what happened. "
At this point, Mirda looked at Link again, and continued: "Actually, I noticed a bit when I was in the East Valley. I read your military report at the spike ice fortress. In the report, you mentioned Phase scroll, you borrowed this scroll to escape the hunt of the artifact holder many times. As far as I know, phase scroll belongs to mysterious magic, Master Link, are you studying mysterious magic? "
Lin Ke is speechless. The princess Mirda's eyes are so sharp that she easily discovers the details that Link wants to hide.
Seeing that Link was silent, Mirda continued: "I also found a detail problem. You said that Kanosu was infected with the venom of the dark snake and was almost demonized, but in the end, you rescued him, you How did you do that? You are just a mortal, how to heal the damage of the artifact? It doesn't make sense. "
Hearing here, Glensea reminded me by saying: "His Royal Highness, every magician has his own unique power. These things have nothing to do with the black magic. You don't need to find out!"
"Okay." Mirda no longer aggressive, she took a step back and said, "Before this letter, I agreed with Master Glensea, but this letter appeared, and Mr. Link could not give it to him. To give a convincing explanation, then he has the suspicion of studying black magic. Before we can thoroughly find out, my tribe may not be able to provide assistance to such a magician. Sorry, Mr. Link, Romulus and Latour cannot. Help you build the magic tower. "
Linke spreads his hands: "I'm sorry for your suspicion."
He didn't blame Mirda. The other party knew him shortly, and distrust was normal. Now the most important problem is that he has to figure out who is framing him.
Is it Verville?
But why? Although they have dealt with each other, the other party should not know his identity.
"I can't stay here tonight, I'm going now. Romson, you go back to East Valley to report the news, you ask King Ryan to form a special investigation team. Latour, you go to the port with me Let ’s go back to Chenxi Island to report the news of the artifact. "
"Yes, Your Highness." The two high elves stood up and nodded.
"So, goodbye, everyone." Mirda turned and left, and the two high elves followed.
Finally, there are three Terran Wizards left in the room.
Feng Delan is a little angry: "Why can't these high elves listen to people? Such a clear frame!"
Glenzie looked at the stationery on the table and shook his head: "They don't know Master Link as we do, and they do so out of self-preservation, understandable."
Speaking, Glensea turned to look at Link, saying, "Master Link, there is actually one thing we have concealed. In addition to this letter, someone sent a box of things. This thing radiates Very evil breath, we checked in advance, the box is filled with dark soul stone, we did not dare to say this to the high elf.
When he heard this, Linke frowned deeply, and for a long time, he said deeply, "Thanks to the two masters for their trust in me, but I don't think it's that easy. Someone is planning a plot against me. "
Glenzie and Fontaine glanced at each other and nodded: "We have this idea too. Recently, you have become very popular. The dark powers are best at conspiracy and deception. They can't use it against you. But the problem is, these Rogues are difficult to defend, and no one knows where they will start. "
Linke frowned, and after three minutes, he said, "This letter and the Dark Soul Stone are not very lethal. If this is a conspiracy, then this should be just the beginning."
A letter, some dark soul stones, eyesight people know that they are framed, but if something more difficult to explain happens, then these things will become evidence, really to that extent, I am afraid that Link There is no way to tell.
Glenzie and Fontaine looked at each other, both frowning.
"What's next?"
"I don't know ... there have been many new residents in the territory recently, and of course there must be eyeliners for conspirators ... wait, Mirda may be in danger, um, no, it's mine All the magicians in the territory, especially the high elves, are in danger. No, they can't go like this, it's too dangerous!
There are more than 30 magicians in the territory. They are not many, and their strength is not strong. The Link territory was first established and the defense was very weak. They could not kill Link, but they could kill these magicians.
After killing these magicians, it ’s terrible to have some more troubles.
How do ordinary people distinguish these things? In their eyes, it must be Link ’s work. The subsequent investigation team of Donggu will surely find a lot of relevant evidence. Link ’s ca n’t explain at all, he ’s equivalent to being corrupt.
Of course, this is the worst result, but Link can't help it!
Fonderland and Glensea glanced at each other, both eyes flashed with astonishment, and they both got up and said, "Let's go and get Murosen back."
Linke nodded: "I'm in charge of Mirda and Latour."
The three men quickly walked out of the wooden building. By the door, the sun had sunk down to the horizon, and the sky was already dim.
Mirda and others are moving quickly, and they are no longer in the territory.
Linke walked towards the shack where Dorath was. He was going to ride Doras to chase people. When he reached the shack, Link did not find the devil.
"What about Doras?" Link asked, grabbing a soldier beside him.
"Doras? He just said that he heard something unusual and went out to patrol. It said he would return soon." The soldier responded.
Link is startled: ‘Is the tiger off the mountain? ’(To be continued.)
