Chapter 818: True and False
Tuk tuk!
Hearing a knock on the door, Rourno Luches looked up at the office door, took a breath, and raised his voice: "Come in!"
As soon as the words fell, the people outside the door pushed the door and entered.
Ruerno narrowed his eyes and after seeing the face of the comer, his eyelids lifted, "Oh, it's Elba...... Is there something going on?"
"It's not a big deal......
Elba walked in, closed the door with his hand, his index finger slightly flexed, and the door behind him flickered, isolating the office from the sound outside the door.
"Charlemagne is back!" Elba said indifferently.
Hearing this, the chief of the Palace Mage Association stared, put down the pen in his hand, crossed his hands on the table, and asked indifferently, "Then what?"
Elba sneered, walked up to Urno, pulled out a chair and sat down, "But he may not have come back!"
Ruerno raised his eyebrows, "That is, Charlemagne is now in a wonderful state where he is both 'back' and 'not back'?"
Elba bowed his head and said seriously, "Yes, I can't be sure if he's back now, but I've seen him come back with my own eyes, and I've just talked to him. That's why I'm sure he's not coming back!"
Brushing his pale beard, Rourno nodded and smiled, "Hmm...... That's amazing. ”
"I think it's amazing myself......" Elba sighed, "but that's the way it is, as a mage, I can't deny reality, can I?"
Hearing this, Lu Erno couldn't help but sigh: "In other words, Charlemagne, who appears in Norman now, is actually a fake Charlemagne?"
"'Probably' yes!" Elba emphasized the subject.
He couldn't be sure that the Charlemagne he saw was the 'real' Charlemagne, but he wasn't sure it was the 'fake' Charlemagne.
After a long silence, Ruerno tentatively asked, "Yes...... Legendary mage?"
"Highly likely!"
After answering, Elba and Ruerno looked at each other and sighed.
Charlemagne is a legendary mage, and if you want to play him and fool them who have been working with him for a long time, then the 'actor' is most likely a legendary mage, and only in this way can you deceive them.
"So, where did that 'really' Charlemagne go?"
Urno chuckled, "Could it be that he was intercepted halfway when he came back from Cloudsdale and then wiped out silently?"
If this is true, then they all believe that it was not the mage of Cloudsdale who did it, because that group of people is not so stupid as to choose to wipe out the upper echelons of an empire on their own turf.
This kind of gratuitous action will only completely provoke the anger of the Empire and make the Empire and Cloudsdale officially go to war!
Previously, the Duchy of Sorrow occupied the moral high ground when it acted, with gods and elves eyeing the side, and the nobles of the empire were able to reap benefits from those nobles who were in sudden decline, so under the persuasion of Urno, the Kurkut Empire did not choose to directly go to war with the Duchy of Sorrowful Wind.
However, Charlemagne is different, as the second seat of the Court Mage Association, it is very likely that he will take over as the chief in the future, and he is a figure directly related to the interests of the empire, and his death will bring huge losses to the empire and even the nobles.
No matter what you think about, he is not a person who can be disposed of at will.
As a 'legend', he can't be wiped out silently - except in Cloudsdale!
The corners of Elba's lips hooked, and he teased, "Maybe it's not 'eliminated', it's just that he disappeared?"
"Oh, that's interesting. Ruerno stroked his beard and couldn't help but laugh twice.
After laughing, the old man's face sank, "Elba, how soon do you think Charlemagne will be able to come back if he is still alive?"
"Maybe it's tomorrow, maybe it's the day after tomorrow, it's not impossible today......" Elba chuckled, "Who made him a [Mind Sage]?"
Rubbing his beard, Rouerno was visibly absent-minded.
He let out a long sigh and asked, "So, what can that 'fake' Charlemagne do in such a short period of time?"
Elba thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "What can he do...... Quite a few!"
"yes, it's a lot ......"
Ruerno said indifferently: "For example, 'sabotage' or 'killing', since he can become Charlemagne's appearance, then it shouldn't be difficult for him to become Elba's appearance, right?"
Elba was visibly stunned, then smiled dumbly, "Are you suspicious of me?"
"Oh...... It looks like you're not. ”
Seeing Elba's reaction, Rourno shook his head and relaxed his hands.
After hundreds of years of getting along, even the strangers should be able to become familiar by now.
The three of them had been fighting all their lives, and they were very familiar with each other, and when he saw Elba's reaction, he was almost sure of his guess.
"Of course I'm not, the 'fake' is still behind me!" Elba chuckled, shaking his head.
"Huh?" said Ruerno, raising his eyebrows, "where did you leave him?"
"There's the Magic Furnace. ”
Taking a deep breath, Elba smiled suddenly, "It's just the scrapped one, if the purpose of his coming here was 'sabotage', then he should still be trying." The latest one requires a joint authorization from me and him to get it started, if he wants to do anything now-"
Elba pointed to his head, "I should have reacted." ”
"But not now...... Sigh again, Urno staggered to his feet, and stepped aside to pick up his staff.
Since he didn't come to wreak havoc, that person's purpose was already obvious.
"Sending a legendary mage to assassinate, even the Ogordon Empire is not so generous......"
Tuk Tuk ......
At that moment, there was a knock on the door!
Ruerno, who was moving his stiff hands and feet, looked up, and Elba also got up from his chair.
Knocking on the door is to remove the 'spell' of the magic, and as soon as there is a knock on the door of this office, then the magic will be lifted.
"Come in!"
The old man suddenly smiled, and laughed loudly: "Elba!"
Elba, who was standing in the office, was suddenly stunned, but the moment he was stunned, the door was slammed open.
A mage with runes on his exposed skin paced out of the smoke, his sword-sharp eyes staring at the other him in the office.
How...... Possible?
............
"Charlemagne?"
Under the tower of the Court Mage Guild, a mage looked in amazement at the man who stepped out of the portal.
"Didn't you go to the Chief?"
"I don't. Charlemagne's face was gloomy, and he shook his head slowly, "It's another person who went to find the chief!"
Rumble!
Suddenly, a roar rang out.
Everyone covered their ears and looked at the sound in amazement—
An explosion occurred in the topmost corner of the Mage Tower, sending countless pieces of rubble flying towards all the buildings and everyone around the tower!
"Ah!!h
A scream startled all those who were immersed in the shock, and suddenly, the crowd filled with fear scattered and fled.
Charlemagne snorted coldly, raised his hand and waved, a giant palm condensed out of thin air, swung towards the scattered gravel, and held it in his palm!
The sudden outbreak of battle frightened everyone, and the mage standing beside Charlemagne reflected the figures of the three people standing in the sky.
Two...... Elba's three seats?!
Charlemagne's second seat was standing next to him, that is, the second seat of Charlemagne just now was not a real second seat, that was - fake?!
Who is it?!
