Because it was getting late, Ouqi left quickly. This time Diao Si didn't ask her too many questions, but just learned about the situation of the Mages Association.
This old guy may have been reminded by Oso. She was really like a computer machine. She answered the questions raised by Diao Si one by one without questioning any of Diao Si's questions. She was very cooperative.
After sorting out the information she mentioned, Diao Si discovered that this mage association really had the possibility of acting as the mysterious organization and controlling the Blazing Empire.
Because now he knows the close relationship between those mage families, especially the Zhanqing family, and the royal family, so that the old mage members of the Mage Association have more or less relationships with the royal family. There are also people from the royal family among them, and these They are all elders of the mage family and the royal family.
Just like the fact that Oso replaced Ouma, it was said that it was because of the long-term development of the Blazing Empire, but at least there was a planner. How could someone with no qualifications and status be able to subvert this? Where is the throne
Oso should be aware of the existence of the Mages Association and acquiesce in some of their actions, because they once helped her obtain the current throne. But it is estimated that even Ou Suo did not know that this mage would become so powerful and even monitor every move in the imperial city.
Perhaps, the purpose of the Mages Association is also to secretly protect the royal family. They pose no threat to Oso, but such an increasingly powerful organization will inevitably arouse the ambitions of some members within it.
And no one can check and balance this mage guild, because there will only be a powerful mage guild, not a powerful warrior guild. This is caused by the different physical dependence of the mage profession and the warrior profession.
Those powerful warriors, no matter how powerful they were once, even the black crystal warriors, their bodies will degenerate when they get old, and they cannot help it.
But mages are different. Their magic has no physical requirements, so even the two mages Diao Si met when he made a big fuss in the palace last time are still very powerful. The effect of age on them may simply be a decrease in magical energy.
This is where the mage profession is superior to the occupational diseases of warriors, and it is also the reason why the mage association has been able to thrive for a long time. When the old warriors have no choice but to take off their heavy armor, these old mages can still make trouble.
But Diao Si couldn't learn about the leaders of the Mages Association from Ou Qi. In Ou Qi's view, the Mages Association was just a group of old people who lived together. She would sometimes go with them, but she didn't feel that those were the leaders at all. What's wrong with the mage
However, Diao Si learned from her that there were several places where mages from the Mages Association often gathered. He also planned to take action at night to see if there would be any movement or traces where those old guys gathered.
He went to bed first, to replenish his energy, and then set out again in the dead of night, because the guards were usually very serious in the first half of the night and would relax in the second half of the night.
When Diao Si got up late at night, the dark moon had already set, and it was rare to see a few stars in the sky. This was more conducive to Diao Si's actions, but when he climbed up to the eaves, he realized that someone seemed to be watching him.
If you are being monitored, the best way is to hide first and then counter-monitor. So Diao Si quickly passed through several buildings, hid in a corner, and then used the magic of refraction to find the person who might be following him.
But there is nothing. The person may not be able to keep up, or may be simply cunning and suspicious, which does not exist. No matter what, since there was no problem here, Diao Si continued to run towards the direction where the mages gathered.
First of all, there was the Quanshi Yard, because it was close to the palace. Ou Qi said that the old masters often went there to play, but that night Diao Si walked around there and couldn't find a single person. They were all in the same place. It was quiet, except for the footsteps of some guards as they passed by.
Then he went to the ancient temple of Zhenzhi, which was far away from the palace. The ancient temple of Zhenzhi was established not very long ago. It was originally the place where the master's tomb was, and later a temple was built there.
The night here is even quieter, because it is a certain distance from the palace, and even the guards will not wander here. But approaching the ancient temple, Diao Si could sense some spiritual energy. If he wasn't afraid of getting into trouble, this would be a good place for him to practice summoning magic.
There is nothing special about this ancient temple. It is just a former cemetery. However, the place is quite large and has a lot of aura. It is a good treasure place. The reason why those mages like to gather here may just be to study magic.
However, when Diao Si was about to go to another place, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a black shadow passing by on one side. This shouldn't be wrong, but who could run so fast in the middle of the night
There was something wrong with the person passing by, so Diao Si cautiously chased after him, only to realize that there were some graves on the other side, but they were different from the cemetery on the other side of the ancient temple. They were overgrown with weeds and looked messy. No one takes care of it.
What is the reason for this? Why is the tomb over there well-kept, but the tomb over here is so overgrown? Do the people in these cemeteries have no descendants? Or is there something wrong with the people buried here
Continuing to observe the past, Diao Si also discovered that not only was there no one here, there was no way to walk there. If he hadn't known a little bit of Piao Qinggong, he wouldn't have known how to get there.
Diao Si hid in a position and observed again, but the black figure had disappeared. This is quite strange, because there is an empty cemetery here without a single building. How could that black figure suddenly disappear
Could it be that he didn't disappear but was hiding nearby? Impossible, Diao Si's actions would not have been discovered if he was so careful...
After waiting for a while and still finding nothing, Diao Si floated away from the tombs. However, at that moment, he suddenly felt that the dark energy in a certain place was particularly rich. He stopped immediately, but when he sensed it carefully like this, he could no longer find anything.
That's definitely not an illusion, so why are there suddenly so many dark elves? Diao Si continued to observe there carefully, but the dark elf had disappeared, and everything returned to its original condition.
Diao Si spent some time asking, but in the end he gave up because he found nothing, and then quickly returned to his own residence.
After returning to his residence, he deliberately took the information Oso gave him and checked the map information of that place. But it is very strange. It is classified into the Zhenzhi Ancient Temple in the Master Cemetery, or it should be said that it has no name.
After continuing to study for a while, it was almost dawn, so Diao Si put the thing away and lay down anywhere to rest.
After dawn, Ou Qi arrived on time, so Diao Si took the map and asked her about the unmarked grave.
"That's the cemetery of the dark mage. According to the regulations of the empire, you can't enter there..." After figuring out what place Diao Si was talking about, Ou Qi told him.
When Ou Qi said this, Diao Si understood completely, because those mages didn't like the dark mages and thought they were evil, so they treated their graves like this and ignored them completely.
"Oh, sir, can you tell me, are there any people living near the dark mage's grave?" This is because Diao Si thought of that black shadow, and those who move secretly at night are probably not good people.
"Are you kidding? Since the empire stipulates that no one is allowed to go near that place, why would anyone live there? Even if there were no such regulations, people would stay away from places like that out of fear."
Ou Qi said this, and Diao thought about something: since it is a place that cannot be approached, and no one lives there at all, then there must be something wrong with the black shadow appearing there. This is probably the same as the one who monitors the palace. It was related to the nervous tissue of the body. No matter what, he wanted to go there again to investigate clearly.
Of course, not during the day. Diao Si still has no identity and cannot be seen in public places. If you want to inquire, you can only wait for more than a hundred hours until after dark. (To be continued)
