The greatest driving force for wisdom to understand the world is the curiosity in the heart.
Curiosity is neither good nor bad, but magic is.
If there is no restraint, then a magician will go farther and farther on the road of magic, and in the end, he will become a puppet of magic.
It's good to be a magic puppet, but more often than not, magicians will be lured by black magic, completely degenerate, and become slaves of darkness.
In history, there are countless examples like this. Gorefiend Taron, Molestern, Ankeru, etc., and even the latest Vivier, are all promising magical geniuses, but they finally embarked on a road of no return.
Even in the history of the High Elves, there is no shortage of similar precedents.
So, when Mirda saw this magical letter with dark runes drawn on it, the way she looked at Link changed a bit.
Vivier in the south fell before him. Could it be that the magic geniuses in Norton Kingdom in the north also had an affair with black magic
Mirda just met Link today, and she doesn't know much about him. Now that something like this has happened, she instinctively doubts it, feeling that the problem is serious.
Her pretty face was covered with frost: "Link, I think you need to explain."
Link also frowned, and he didn't understand who would send him such a letter, but he had a clear conscience and said, "Let's go first into the room and go to the lobby on the second floor. I'll open the letter on the spot and see what is written inside. What are you wearing?"
The three high elves looked at each other for a few moments, but their faces showed signs of alertness. Before they knew it, wands appeared in their hands. Mirdad shook his head and said, "You don't need to go upstairs, just dismantle it here."
From this appearance, it was obvious that he was ready to strike as soon as he found out that something was wrong.
It can't be blamed for their overreaction. Although the incident of Wevill in the south happened not long ago, it has already spread all over the continent.
Vivier also made a move when there was a disagreement, and the result was a tragedy. Link was ten times more terrifying than Vivier. If there was a problem, if he made an attack, the three of them might be caught off guard and the same mistakes in the south would happen.
For Link, if he is the only one here, then he doesn't care, it will be demolished, but there are many people watching, Joshua, soldiers from the past, residents of Scorched Earth Ridge, etc., at this time They all looked over.
Several of their gorgeously dressed magicians are confronting each other here, which attracts a lot of attention. After a while, some rumors will spread.
This happened in Link's territory, which is not good for Link.
Link felt slightly annoyed at Mirda's actions, but seeing Mirda and the others' resolute faces, he knew that it was useless for him to be angry. The opponent was a high elf princess, and there were two level 7 magicians, What kind of battle has never been seen before, and what they have already decided is probably difficult to change.
Forced confrontation will only make things worse.
'I don't know who plotted against me so much and sent me this damn thing! '
Suppressing his anger, Link took a step back, nodded and said, "As you wish."
He was about to open the letter.
At this moment, a voice came from the side: "Master Link, you are finally back, and we are waiting for you."
Link turned his head and saw two magic masters, Glenn Tin and Fontelaine, walking side by side.
When he got close, Glennxi glanced at the letter in Link's hand, then at the three guarded high elves, and said with a faint smile, "It's just a magic letter, what's the big deal, what do you do at this door?" Well, let’s go, let’s go into the house and talk.”
As he said that, Glenn Tie stretched out his hand, took the letter from Link, and entered the room.
Fontelin followed, patted Link on the shoulder, turned to the three high elves and said, "Young man, don't worry, it's just a trivial matter. Come in."
Two magic masters made a rescue, and Mirda and the two high elves around her looked at each other, and finally followed into the wooden building.
A group of people arrived at the conference hall on the second floor and found seats to sit down.
After sitting down, Glenn Xi said: "This letter arrived two days ago. When it first arrived, we felt that something was wrong, but the signature on the letter was given to Master Link, so we didn't move it. We just waited. Link is back."
After speaking, he looked at Link. Although his expression was calm, it could be seen that he was also waiting for Link's explanation.
Link looked confused: "I also wonder who would send me this thing."
As he spoke, he pushed the letter to the center of the table, and said: "Her Highness Mirdad obviously has doubts about me. To show justice, I will not open this letter. Your Highness, how about you come and check?"
"Yes." Mirdad nodded solemnly, then activated the mage's hand, and opened the letter from a distance.
After the envelope was unsealed, the dark atmosphere suddenly became much stronger, and a puff of black smoke could be clearly seen gushing out of the envelope. The smoke condensed above the envelope, forming a human face, and a pleasant voice came out.
"Oh, Link, my friend, I'm glad you're interested in my field. I've missed you since the last farewell. I'm honored to hear from you again this time, and I'm happy to answer your questions Doubts in the soul realm..."
Then, the voice started talking blah blah blah.
He explained the magic technique of extracting the soul of ordinary people out of the body in a serious manner. He continued to talk for fifteen minutes, and finally said in his voice: "This method is very useful, but it is only a basic method. If you are interested, please continue to write Give it to me, I will be happy to answer your doubts.”
After finishing speaking, the black mist dissipated, and looking at the magic letter, it had returned to its original state. Seeing that there was still a piece of gray-white letter paper in the envelope, Mirda pulled out the letter paper and unfolded it, which was exactly what the black mist said just now.
She looked at the end of the letter again, and saw an obnoxious name written on it: Vivier Worthridge.
Mirdad was taken aback: "Link, do you have friendship with Vivier?"
Link shook his head and denied, "No."
Romussen interjected: "Master Link, the letter said that you have been to the south once... and according to our understanding, you did go there a while ago and brought back a magic tiger."
As the human mages most valued by the high elves, they had a fairly comprehensive understanding of Link's past. When Link went to the south, he was able to hide it from ordinary people, but it was no secret to the mages who wanted to investigate .
The high elf didn't speak clearly, but the underlying meaning is obvious. The information in this letter shows that Link and Vivier know each other. He even went to the south to meet him. The two have a very good friendship.
But now that Vivier has become a black magician, he still writes to Link and discusses black magic issues with him, which is a bit mysterious.
Especially since Link really made a trip to the south, not long before Wevill's fall.
Link's face remained unchanged, and he explained calmly: "I went to the south to find Celine, and it has nothing to do with Wevill. As for the devil tiger, I met him by the way. He was being captured by the black magician Anke Lu chased him down, but I saved him."
"Who is Celine?" Mirdad asked.
"My... good friend." Link said: "If necessary, I can have someone call her over now, she is in Scorched Earth Ridge."
"No need, I know Celine, she is a good girl." It was Fontelain who spoke.
He looked around everyone and said: "I think this is a very obvious frame-up. I know Master Link very well. If he really got involved in black magic, he would not be exposed for such a clumsy reason. In fact, we Nobody would, it's so stupid!"
This is the truth, sending letters, and especially drawing dark runes on the envelopes, is too obvious a technique of blaming others.
However, Mirdad shook her head: "No, I don't think it's that simple. This is Link's territory, and those ordinary people don't know the dark runes at all, so it's not a big deal to draw the dark runes... Simply speaking of this letter It doesn’t make sense, but Mr. Link did go south once, and this time, apart from bringing back Celine and the Devil Tiger, no one knows what else happened.”
Having said that, Mirdad looked at Link again, and continued: "Actually, I noticed something when I was in the East Valley. I read your military report at the Sharp Ice Peak Fortress. In the report, you mentioned the phase scroll. You borrowed this scroll to escape the pursuit of the artifact holder many times. As far as I know, phase scrolls belong to mysterious magic, Master Link, are you studying mysterious magic?"
Link was speechless. This Princess Mirda had extremely sharp eyesight. She easily discovered the details that Link wanted to hide.
Seeing that Link didn't speak, Mirdad continued: "I also found a detail problem. You said that Canoxiu was infected by the venom of the Dark Serpent and was almost demonized, but in the end, you rescued him. How did you do it? Arrived? You are just a mortal, how to heal the damage of the artifact? It doesn’t make sense.”
Hearing this, Glennxi reminded: "Your Highness, every magician has his own unique power. These things have nothing to do with black magic. You don't need to get to the bottom of it!"
"Okay." Mirda stopped being aggressive, she took a step back, and said, "Before this letter, I agreed with Master Glenn Tie's words, but this letter appeared, and Mr. Link could not give a convincing Therefore, he is suspected of studying black magic. Before a thorough investigation, our family may not be able to provide assistance to such a magician. Sorry, Mr. Link, Romuson and Latour cannot help you build The magic tower."
Link spread out his hands: "I'm sorry for making you have such doubts."
He didn't mean to blame Mirdad, the other party had known him not long ago, and it was normal to distrust him. The most important issue now was that he had to figure out who was framing him.
Could it be Vivier
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 leaving now. Romussen, you go back to East Valley to report the news, and you go ask King Lane to form a special investigation team. Alar, you go to the port with me, and we go back to Dawn The island reported the news of the artifact."
"Yes, Your Highness." The two high elves stood up and nodded.
"So farewell, everyone." Mirdad turned and left, followed by the two High Elves.
In the end, there were three human magicians left in the room.
Feng Delan was a little angry: "Why can't these high elves listen to people's words? Such an obvious frame!"
Glenn Xi looked at the letter paper on the table, shook his head and said, "They don't know Master Link as well as we do, so it's understandable to do this out of self-protection."
With that said, Glenn Xi turned to look at Link, and said, "Master Link, there is actually one more thing we have concealed. In addition to this letter, someone also sent a box of things. This thing exudes a very evil Breath, we will check in advance, there is a dark soul stone in the box, we dare not tell the high elves about this."
Hearing this, Link frowned deeply. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Thank you two masters for trusting me. However, I think things may not be that simple. Someone is planning a conspiracy against me."
Glenn Xi and Feng Delan looked at each other, nodded and said: "We also have the same idea. You have been too popular recently, and the dark forces are best at conspiracies and tricks. It is impossible for them not to use them against you. But the problem is that these tricks are very difficult. Defense, who knows where they will launch from."
Link frowned and pondered. Three minutes later, he said, "This letter and the Dark Soul Stone don't do much harm. If this is a conspiracy, then this should be just the beginning."
A letter, some dark soul stones, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that they are framed at a glance, but if something more inexplicable happens, then the above things will become evidence. Can't tell.
Glenn Tin and Fontelin looked at each other and frowned.
"What's next?"
"I don't know... a lot of new residents have come to the territory recently, and there must be conspirators among them... Wait, Mirda may be in danger, um, no, it's all the magicians in my territory, especially the high elves. Dangerous, no, they can't go like this, it's too dangerous!"
There are more than 30 magicians in the territory, not too many, and the power is not too strong. Link's territory was first established, and the defense force is also very weak. They can't kill Link, but they can kill these magicians.
After killing all these magicians, it would be terrifying to add some blame.
How do ordinary people distinguish these things? In their eyes, it must be Link. The follow-up investigation team of Donggu will definitely find a lot of relevant evidence. If Link can't explain it at all, then he is equivalent to being corrupted.
Of course, this is the worst outcome, but Link can't help it!
Feng Delan and Glenn Xi looked at each other, their eyes flashed with horror, they got up and said: "Let's chase Romussen back."
Link nodded: "I'm in charge of Mirda and Aral."
The three of them walked out of the wooden building quickly, and when they reached the door, the sun had sunk below the horizon, and the sky had already dimmed.
Mirda and the others moved very quickly, and they had already disappeared from the territory.
Link walked towards the shack where Doras was, and was about to ride Doras to chase people. When he got to the shack, Link didn't find the devil tiger.
"Where's Doras?" Link asked, grabbing a soldier beside him.
"Doras? He just said that he heard some unusual movements and went out on patrol. He said he would be back soon." The soldier responded.
Link was startled: "Tune the tiger away from the mountain?" '
