Chapter 365: Betrayal
The masked mage moved quickly, and not long after Henry and his party left, they launched an investigation into the place where the energy fluctuations were generated. When they found Lake. Gazra was taken aback by the corpse and the traces of the battle, and immediately reported the news to headquarters. After all, the inexplicable death of a fifteenth-level mage is not a trivial matter, and only a legendary mage is qualified to deal with this kind of thing.
Charanora personally led a team to survey the scene and found the poison remaining inside the body. She cast a detection spell that immediately detected spells including "undead form", "eternal state", "feigned death", "manipulation of dead bodies", and so on, and anyone with a little bit of knowledge knows that only those who intend to transform into a lich will drink this potion.
She was a little unsure about Lake. Whether Gezra succeeded or failed, he immediately gave the order to activate the Wizard's Tower's wide area detection capabilities. Powerful magical energy swept across the entire Ascaltra over and over again, and almost everyone with the ability to cast spells could feel it.
The Masked Mage's Guild has finally shown its unrivaled power in the Amm region, and all the ill-intentioned ones are trembling for fear that this is the prelude to a great purge. But they were wrong, and the high-intensity detection lasted less than an hour before disappearing completely. No mage regiment was sent, and no attack was launched against it, as if Yiqiē was just joking.
Due to detection and prophecy spells have not been found about Ryker. Gezla's traces, Zaranora directly treated this matter as a spell casting accident, as for those traces of the battle, because they were disturbed by Henry's early release spell, so nothing could be found at all. A fifteenth-level spell mage was quietly dug into the corner of the wall. And the lich who changed his name to Oleg has managed to hide in the mage tower. Sitting and chatting with Amelia.
"You mean you're going to stay here for a while. Until a new task is issued? The girl with Karatu blood asked. She was shocked when she found out that a lich had visited, and if it weren't for Henry's handwritten letter, she wouldn't have been able to get in.
Oleg nodded slightly. "That's right, before I receive other orders, I will be doing magic research and all kinds of practical research here, so that I can adapt to my new body as much as possible." He didn't even comprehend the lich's innate abilities now, and he couldn't release even the most basic aura of fear.
"Well, I can ration ten percent of my energy every day for research and crafting magical items. However, as a group of apprentices will be coming tomorrow, please refrain from appearing in public unless necessary. Other than that. If you use the materials in the Mage Tower's warehouse, please pay the price of this list, and you can also sell me the magic items you have made. ”
Amelia knew that the other party was not a threat, and quickly stepped into the role of manager, and directly took out a list of materials and put it on the table. Her plan is to earn enough gold and then use her deep pockets to attract spellcasters with a skill. Only in this way can the size of the apprentices be expanded, so that the purpose of forming a mage group can finally be achieved.
Lich Oleg shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "No problem. In my current state, I can't get out of the gate of the Mage Tower, so even if I make magic items, I can only sell them to you. If nothing else is going on, I'll go to the basement first, there are still a lot of topics to study. ”
"Please, if you need anything, you can contact Taling directly." With that, Amelia stood up and made a gesture of please. Although she is the manager of this tower, after all, the casting level is only five, and it is necessary to maintain a certain amount of respect for a powerful lich. This is the most basic etiquette.
Oleg nodded, grabbed the parchment on the table and left. After claiming to be an undead. Many of his desires and physical needs were gone, replaced by an incomparable thirst for magic, as if that were the most important thing in life. The Lich is now eager to start his own research, and since he doesn't need to eat, drink, or sleep, all the time can be fully utilized.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
At the same time, Henry had spent more than an hour completing all the work assigned by Edwin and Maiva, and was now meeting the red-robed mage face-to-face on the topic of betrayal and betrayal. The two men exchanged terms in cryptic words, and Feyder and Kogan had no idea what they were talking about, except for Viconia who understood a little.
"Who in this guild is dissatisfied with Maiva's rule? I need their specific names, and if you can come up with a list, then I don't mind agreeing to your request. Henry was a little tired of this boring temptation and cut straight to the point.
Edwin's chin was dragged with his fingers crossed, and a smug smile appeared on his gloomy face. "Of course! As a henchman of Maiwa, I know everything about the situation here. If you're planning to start a riot here, it's a good idea to go to Anisha, who is on the second floor in charge of training apprentices. This coquettish little is not happy with the current state of the union, and she has had a leg with at least half of the men here. ”
"Very well, I'll go back and try to touch it later. Also, aren't you going to leave this dangerous place? You must know that it is very likely that a large-scale melee will occur in the near future, as a red-robed mage, do you have any other plans? "It can be said that Henry is quite wary of Edwin, for fear that this guy will have some bad water in his stomach, so he plans to close the team as soon as possible to facilitate surveillance.
"Hahahaha! Looks like you're finally getting to the point, and as far as the facts are concerned, I know that Maiva can be found there betraying Renault. Evidence of blood head. That's what you're here for, isn't it? You can find the evidence you need in Maiwa's room. I just happened to have a key to open his safe. In fact, I intend to go to the winning side in this matter. ”
Edwin placed a metal key with a unique design on the table, and judging from the appearance, ordinary thieves' tools would definitely not be able to open such a lock. I have to say that it is really sad that Maiwa trusts this guy so much, I am afraid that he still does not know that he is about to be in a catastrophe.
Henry picked up the key and stretched out a hand and said with a smile: "Then should we shake hands first, and then say that we are happy to work together?" ”
"Of course, it's a pleasure to work with." Edwin also held out a hand and shook it with each other.
After the red-robed mage joined, the number of people in the team increased to five. They quickly made their way to Maiwa's room on the second floor, evaded several thieves hiding in the shadows, and Heng used the key to open the door, and then found a letter in the bedside cabinet with a vampire contact, which not only asked the other party to kill Renault. Bloodhead's request, but also attached to the daily patrol route of Arcanis.
No wonder he was so badly injured with the skills of a legendary thief, it turned out that he was ambushed. Along with the letter was a brand new pair of "Stealth Boots", which was assigned directly to the only Assassin on the team, Fidel. Edwin saw the evidence in his hand and whispered, "Now I have found the appropriate text." You just need to be with Renault. Just discuss it privately! That's right, and then the matter will fall into our hands. ”
Henry nodded slightly. "Yes, but there is one more thing to do before that, and that is to talk to Anisha and gather those who are dissatisfied with Maiva. I think you're familiar with this place, so you should be up to the task, right? ”
"Yes, but why do you? How nice it is to kill them all, it's easy and convenient. ”
Seeing Edwin's skeptical eyes, Henry pretended to lean over and explained in a low voice, "Because the bloodhead has promised to deal with this matter after this matter, this union will be run and managed by me." If you don't have a little bit of your own team, it will be very difficult to operate. Anyway, I need a group of men who don't deal with the Shadow Thief Headquarters, can you see what that means? ”
"Understood, another new leader full of ambition is coming to the throne. Leave it to me, and it will be perfectly resolved before you return. Remember, you owe me a favor. With that, Edwin turned and walked towards the hall on the second floor.
After the red-robed mage walked away, Viconia let out a soft snort, "Hmph! I advise you to be careful, this guy is quite dangerous, and he may sell us all at any time. ”
"Don't worry, I've never trusted Edwin. It's just a pawn to use, and it won't be a few days before he gets the end he deserves. "Henry plans to get what he wants, and then solve this problem once and for all. He didn't have to promise that this guy would become interested in the throne of the God of Slaughter in the future, which would be too dangerous for Apodell and Ammon.
Viconia had a satisfied smile on her face. "Very good, if you want to do it, say hello in advance, and I'll be happy to help a little when it matters."
"Hey! Remember to count me. This damned mage dared to instruct us to run errands for him, and it would be a great pleasure if we could make up for it with an axe. Kogan tapped the axe on his waist and chimed in.
"Well, count me as well. Be careful, though, as the red-robed mage is quite alert, and if he finds out about our plans, we'll run away immediately. "Although Feder is not very interested in this kind of stabbing in the back, he still participates in it. She knew that if she didn't join in at this time, then it was likely that she would be the next person to be calculated.
Henry saw the surprisingly unanimous opinion within him, and nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, my plan worked perfectly. Let's go, now give this evidence to Renault. Bloody head, then come back and kill Maiva and his diehards. (To be continued......)
