Fankenos has dressed up in disguise, and he has been dressed very carefully. If it were someone else, he would never be recognized. Link guessed that he was really serious.
At this time, Link's mind was extremely calm, he fired at Fankenos as if nothing had happened, and a speck of light flew over.
'Invisibility without trace'
The figure of Fankenuosi disappeared in place immediately.
Link made a gesture to signal the other party to follow the magic tower, and then he walked into the magic tower by himself. He could feel that Fankenos followed him lightly.
The number of apprentices in the magic tower on the first floor has increased again, about 80 people. Just as Link walked to the door, some apprentices found him. After a few seconds, there was a "crash", and all the apprentices immediately stood up and held their breaths. Pay attention to him.
In the past, Link was not used to this battle, but now he doesn't care anymore. He waved his hand as a greeting to all the young people, and then continued to walk towards the upper level of the magic tower.
Walking all the way to a secluded attic at the top of the magic tower, Link snapped his fingers and canceled the invisibility on Fankenos.
There are some sundries in the attic, which are some commonly used supplies. Link half leaned on a pile of fur packages. When Fankenos entered the attic, he moved his mind again and released a sound-proof magic door to the attic door .
"Okay, it's time to talk."
Fankenos first handed a memory crystal to Link: "My lord, please take a look at what's inside."
Link took it, activated it, and a slightly blurry image was projected in the air. It can be seen that the user of the memory crystal carefully hid in the crowd, so the viewing angle of the image was very low.
In the video, the backs of many soldiers first appeared, and at the same time, a voice rang out: "This magician, he studied dark magic in private. After being discovered, he refused to disclose the magic content, and even attacked the searchers, causing serious injuries to two soldiers. This must be the servant of darkness, it should be killed!"
When the voice fell, there was a sound of flesh cutting. Although he didn't see the specific image, Link was familiar with the sound and knew that someone had been beheaded.
"This voice is Duke Abel?"
"It's him."
In the video, after the magician was killed, the soldiers gathered to watch also dispersed. The magician hiding in the crowd glanced at the execution ground at the last moment, and then put away the memory crystal.
Link froze the image at this moment.
In the execution ground, there were four headless corpses, which meant that three people had been killed before this magician. Duke Abel and several officers sat on a high chair, each with awe-inspiring expressions.
Seeing this, Link put away the memory crystal and asked Fan Kenos, "Isn't it a big deal to kill some people who violated military orders in the army?"
The voice in the image already explained the reason. He secretly learned black magic and even attacked the officers. Orida Fortress had just encountered the dark army. He was highly vigilant against any dark magic. This magician would be courting death by doing so.
Fankenos nodded: "Judging from the video, it is indeed normal, but I think the Duke seems a little abnormal. He suddenly became much stronger than before."
"What kind of strong method?" Link believed that Fan Kenus would not come to him because of a vague feeling, he must have evidence.
Fankenos looked out of the window and experienced the decisive battle in the north. His handsome face was much more vicissitudes than before, and there were a few strands of white hair on his temples. His brows were slightly frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "Not long after you left , His Excellency the Duke launched a purification operation. He formed a warlord army to thoroughly investigate everything about every soldier, including everything in his past. As for magicians, the warlord army asked them to publish their magic notes. At first, this It's not too much, but after a month of this operation, it has reached the point where it can't be dealt with."
Speaking of this, Fankenos turned to look at Link: "I saw an officer pushed to the gallows for hiding a demon fang. I also saw a soldier who thought it was fun to carve a succubus out of wood The statue was beheaded, the magician who was killed just now, the so-called black magic he studied was the eye of the soul at level 4, this was just to detect magic, he attacked the warriors because those two warriors tore up his magic in public Notes, and insulting words... His Excellency the Duke seems to have gone to extremes, he is already a little crazy."
Link frowned a little, it was indeed too much, he asked, "Has anyone ever persuaded him?"
"Anthony, the dean of the East Valley School of Magic, came here. He tried to persuade him a few words, but in the end the two broke up. Afterwards, the Duke restrained himself for a few days, but soon he started again."
"Does King Lane know about this?" Link asked.
"I know, the king wrote a few letters, but you know, the hot spring city was destroyed, and the king's authority was a bit... a little bit out of order, and the Duke simply ignored him," Fankenos said.
Link finally asked: "Except for these things, how is Duke Abel's performance in the defense of the fortress?"
"It is much stronger than before, and the results are much more. In the Black Forest, more than 30 demons are hunted every day, and there are more dark elves. At the beginning, it was more than 100 every day. Now it is 200 kilometers north of Orida Fortress. The dark elves can no longer be found in Li Nei. Once, Canoxiu even killed a level 8 demon, and he was greatly rewarded by the Duke. Now, Canoxiu is the commander of the First Legion."
This is also a fact, and Fan Kenosi reported truthfully.
"That's it." Link fell into silence.
Ordinary people may only see that Duke Abel is cruel and excessive. For example, Fankenos finds it unacceptable, but this is not the case in the eyes of a superior like Link. The Duke has indeed gone too far, but he He faithfully performed his duty.
Duke Abel's main task is to defend against the demons and dark elves in the northern Black Forest. Now that he's done a good job, he certainly can't be too harsh on him for such a purification operation.
More importantly, Link is only the lord of Field, and it's not his turn to take care of this matter.
As for persuasion by letter, or asking in person, that is even more meaningless. King Lane and the great magician Anthony have already done this.
However, this matter cannot be completely ignored. The current Duke Abel may have been stimulated by the war, and his temperament has changed. Judging from the current situation, he is very likely to go to extremes, which is not a good thing.
After thinking about it, Link felt that the wisest thing he could do now was to wait and see what happened.
He first took out a piece of thorium and a small piece of black kun stone, and then used magic. About 10 minutes later, he turned the two materials into a rune stone, and after filling it with dragon power, he handed the rune stone to Fankenuosi: "I'm not very good at interfering in this matter. You take this rune stone back to the north and continue to observe. If there is any change, come back and notify me. If you are in danger, activate the rune stone, and you can use it to complete the task." A short-distance teleportation with a distance of 2 kilometers."
Fankenos put away the rune stone carefully. He seemed to want to say something more, but he was embarrassed and stopped talking.
"What do you want to say, just say it."
Fankenos sighed: "Actually, I didn't want to go back when I came out this time. Now that the artifact is gone and the dark elves have been defeated, I don't really want to stay in the army anymore. It's too depressing there. I just want to be with you." You tell me the news, and then I will continue to venture around the mainland."
Link was speechless: "So you are a deserter?"
Well, this guy didn't say it a long time ago, he only said it after cheating him of a rune stone, it's really cunning!
Fan Kennuo suddenly became a little wary: "...you won't take me back to the fortress, will you?"
If you really want to take him back, the deserter will be beheaded.
Link shook his head: "That's not true. Since you don't want to go back, I will send another person to the north to monitor... You said you want to continue to take risks?"
"That's right, that's what I'm after!" As soon as he said that, Fankenos seemed to 'come alive'.
Link's heart moved, and he continued to ask: "Oh, I remember that the first time you came to me, you wanted me to go to the tomb of the dwarf kings. How are your companions doing now?"
"The situation is not very good. Miss Pastor is still alive, and the others are all killed. In fact, she has already gone south with me. Why, you don't want to go with us, do you?"
Link is now a legendary master. How could such a big man go to the tomb with him? Fankenos had already put his previous thoughts behind him.
Link shook his head and said with a smile: "No, no, no, of course I won't go, I'm busy enough with the affairs of Field territory. But if you go, I would like to entrust you to help me find something. It won't be in vain Find it, I have a big reward."
Fankenos eyes lit up immediately: "I don't want money, I just want magic equipment! As long as you give me magic equipment, you will let me steal the red dragon queen's underwear!"
"..." Link's face was full of black lines, what did he want the Queen's underwear for, he really wanted it, the Red Dragon Queen was all his, and once this guy left the army, his words would be unreliable.
Link took out a Yogu and handed it over: "I want such a stone, you can give me as much as you find, and, in the process of searching, you may meet some members of the Dragon Clan who are also looking for these stones, you Don't quarrel with them, bring this thing to them, and they will give you this Yogu."
Link took out a piece of silver and black dragon scale and gave it to Fankenos, which was his identity certificate in the Dragon Clan.
"I understand." Fankenos played with the dragon scale carefully, curious about the material of this thing.
"As for the reward, if you can gather up 100 Yogu for me, I'll make you a legendary quality one..."
Before Link finished speaking, Fankenos nodded: "A legendary dagger, right? Okay, I'll do it, uh~ Is there any reward for my pastor friend?"
"Yes. When you bring her over, she will also get a piece of magic equipment."
"That's no problem. I have this thing, and I will definitely bring you back 101 coins when the time comes."
"No, the more the better, 100 pieces of equipment will always be valid."
Fankenos let out a long breath: "Oh, you are really a big devil who controls people's hearts, this time I will try my best again."
Up to now, the matter of Fankenos has been settled. This guy is currently penniless, and he doesn't want to steal money, so he asked Link for a bag of gold coins with a shy face, and then left with satisfaction. .
Link returned to his lobby, just about to rest for a while, when Lucy found him again.
"Lord, the anti-magic clay mines are about to be dug out, and the city hall is almost out of money."
Lucy spread out an account book in front of Link, and Link saw that it was red, full of deficits, and the rhythm of making ends meet.
