There is an extra magic array outside Winter Wind City, for ordinary people, it is just one more thing to talk about, they will discuss the origin and shape of this magic array in the black and dirty tavern, and then talk about how powerful those legendary heroes and heroes are, this small magic array is not worth mentioning, it can be cut with a sword!
But in the eyes of the nobles, the appearance of this magic array represents some kind of signal. The day before yesterday, the city lord's mansion held a simple banquet, and only invited less than twenty people, which seemed to be a very normal entertainment, but the strange thing was that after those nobles who participated in the banquet came back, they behaved very strangely, and they actually sent a lot of money or special materials to the city lord's mansion.
At first, the onlookers thought that the people attending the banquet were threatened, but then they discovered that they had sent their relatives to the castle as well...... It's normal to send a beautiful woman or a wife in, but everyone has almost sent their entire family in, which is not normal. Coupled with the magic array that suddenly appeared today, those nobles who were watching keenly noticed that something was wrong.
One by one, the guards who were good at intelligence reconnaissance were sent out by various families, and soon they got the news they wanted.
The cemetery outside the city has stolen corpses, most likely by a necromancer.
At the banquet held by the castle lord last night, it is said that many nobles and the castle lord's mansion have reached a security agreement.
A new magic circle has been built today!
People are very good at associating creatures, and as long as they think carefully enough, many clues can be connected. Many nobles reacted and immediately went to visit the city lord's mansion with gifts, while the city lord and his wife watched with a smile on their faces as one nobleman after another came to their door.
Uther and Sophia don't have the concept of 'influence', but they have another plausible alternative concept: networking.
In the evening, when there were finally no more guests, Sophia sat on the balcony with the sunset, looking at the magic circle in the distance, and she said softly to her husband, "I'm happy now, but I'm also worried." Beta's little tricks worked, but they worked so well that I was a little scared. What is the purpose of such a genius character running to our Winter Wind City? He doesn't get close to beauty, he doesn't love money, he doesn't seem to even have an attachment to power, what does he want to do? ”
Uther couldn't answer this question, he just said: "Whatever he wants to do, it will be later, and now that he is our ally, let's keep this thought in our hearts and put up with him." As long as the matter of the Temple of Life is over, even if there is any more power behind Beta, we will have the strength to fight. ”
"I hope so!"
Liang Lidong didn't know that the city lord and his wife were jealous of him, and he was now halfway back to the mountain, followed by two magical girls and more than twenty cavalrymen.
Three spellcasters, plus more than twenty elite cavalry, such combat power is enough to fight an outpost battle, and it stands to reason that such a camp should not encounter any obstacles, but they are indeed stopped in the middle of the way.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, an old man dressed in a green tree priest's robe stood in the middle of the road, holding a curved black scepter in his left hand, the top of which was inlaid with an emerald the size of a fist. The expensive gem reflected several green glimmers, several of which landed on the old man's withered face, making his already gloomy face a little eerie.
This old man Liang Lidong knows, the archbishop of the Temple of Life, Mark! Liang Lidong guessed that he should be able to 'law of cause and effect' magic technique, but he didn't understand why the other party was specially blocking here.
If it's for ballast...... Liang Lidong was not afraid at all, the law of cause and effect magic was indeed powerful, but it had no effect on him. However, the other party's level is very high, even if Liang Lidong is not afraid of the law of cause and effect, he has to take care of the other party's ordinary magic skills.
Liang Lidong has always wanted to assassinate this old man, and now that the other party is here alone, it should have been a good opportunity, but Liang Lidong didn't dare to do it casually. He didn't believe that the other party was a stupid person, and he dared to appear in front of the enemy alone, so there must be a demon when something went wrong, Liang Lidong had been paying attention to the situation in the surrounding environment, and whenever something was wrong, he planned to do it.
As if seeing Liang Lidong's scruples, Mark smiled and said, "Your Excellency Beta, please rest assured, I didn't come with any malice this time." And came with good intentions? ”
"Goodwill?" Liang Lidongce immediately took a few steps forward, walked to the front of the line, and asked rhetorically: "There doesn't seem to be any misunderstanding between the Temple of Life and me, where is the kindness and malice?" ”
It is clear that pretending to be confused is a necessary specialty of nobles, and Liang Lidong is also well versed in this.
Mark didn't seem surprised by the other party's 'quibble', he still smiled: "Kindness is kindness, it doesn't have to be given to an enemy, it can also be given to a friend." I am here mainly to talk to Your Excellency, can you make an appointment for a free time? ”
As soon as he said this, almost everyone's eyes moved to Liang Lidong's body, especially the two magical girls, who could see that Mark seemed to want to win over Beta to the Temple of Life. Now the strength of both sides is about the same, but if Liang Lidong falls to the Temple of Life, then the balance of strength will be broken immediately, so it is normal for Fence La and the others to start to get nervous.
Liang Lidong waved his hand: "No need, I have a lot of things to do, and I don't have much time." ”
Mark was rejected, but he didn't care: "It's okay, I have a lot of time, when you are free, we can talk at any time." ”
Liang Lidong had already guessed what Mark was thinking, and it was clear that it was fake, but it was actually a divisive plan. As long as the two of them continue to talk, so many people around them are watching, and as soon as they report it afterwards, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the city lord and his wife. Although Liang Lidong doesn't care about other people's opinions, if they are at a disadvantage because of this matter, it will have a great impact on his original plan.
Now that you know what the other party is thinking, then you should counteract, Liang Lidong took two steps back, and he smiled: "But I'm sorry, I don't have a good impression of His Excellency Mark." I don't think we'll ever have the opportunity to sit down and talk. ”
"Don't talk so much!" Mark said unhurriedly: "I know that Your Excellency is looking for very important people, and I have clues about them!" ”
In Hollevin, they have different pronunciations from the two of them, so they are easy to distinguish.
What the! Liang Lidong was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was, how did Mark know that he was looking for Persian Cat and Xiaobai? His subtle change in expression made Mark smile as if he had succeeded in his conspiracy.
Then a ball of paper was thrown in front of Liang Lidong: "If Your Excellency Beta wants to know about them, please be sure to do what is on this note!" ”
Mark threw out the note and flew away, and at the same time, several priests flew up in the mountains and forests not far from the road.
Liang Lidong quickly opened the paper ball, but to his surprise, the paper ball was completely crumpled from a blank sheet of paper, and there was not a word on it...... He was stunned for two or three seconds, and then the white paper in his hand suddenly turned into a piece of fly ash and drifted away in the sunset with the wind.
Worst! Liang Lidong's face became a little ugly, he understood that he had been misled and had fallen into a discordant scheme.
