On this day, Diao Si continued to learn about the situation of the mage family with Ou Qi. From Ou Qi's information, it seemed that there were only two most powerful and living mages in the entire mage family system. One of them is Zhan Xi from the Zhantian family, and the other is Ou Feng from the royal family.
These two people are both older than Ou Qi, and they are in seclusion almost every day. Unless Ou Suo personally invites them to a banquet, they will not show up on large occasions, so no one in the entire imperial city will Get to know them.
Diao Si originally asked about it by the way, but hearing Ou Qi's introduction suddenly reminded him of the two powerful old mages he met when he made a big fuss in the palace last time.
These two old mages are both members of the Mages Association. They are so powerful and come from the Zhantian family and the royal family respectively. Their status is so high that they are probably also leaders in the Mages Association.
So Diao Si asked Ou Qi if he could find them, and Ou Qi could only shake his head. On the one hand, she was not sure that she could find these two old guys, but on the other hand, it was because of her respect for them. After all, these two old guys had a very high status.
Just when Diao Si was thinking about it, he unexpectedly discovered that Ou Qi was carrying a notebook and secretly jotting down something. After he asked again and again, Ou Qi told him that it turned out that Ou Suo had given her an order to report to her all the things Diao Si had asked. She was afraid that she would not remember, so she marked it.
Osuo was really careful. She monitored Diao Si's questions like this. Fortunately, Diao Si didn't ask anything sensitive. Also in order to deal with Ou Suo's surveillance, Diao Si then turned to Ou Qi to inquire about the situation of those warrior families.
During this casual inquiry, Diao Si discovered that there had been conflicts between those powerful warrior families, mainly due to the competition for some treasures. This conflict is not serious, but it is not light either. It seems that those soldiers are not generous in front of the treasures, which reminds Diao Xiang of Zhan Qing who covets his dark equipment.
Based on this analysis, there may be many treasures in the imperial city. Diao Si recalled that when he passed the tomb of Dark Magic last night, he suddenly sensed a large number of dark elves. There might be some treasures there. Well, he still has to go there again.
I spent most of the day with Ou Qi, and Diao Si's questions made the talkative old guy unable to resist. In his spare time, Diao Si found out more about her and Ou Ya.
Ou Ya was once her favorite disciple, but the two had differences due to different views. Later, Ou Ya's reputation even surpassed hers, and Ou Suo was reused. Therefore, a large part of the reason why Ou Qi dislikes Ou Ya is because of jealousy.
In the evening, Ou Suo summoned Diao Si again, but Diao Si did not provide the information Ou Suo wanted on the grounds that he had not fully grasped all the situations. She was obviously dissatisfied with Diao Si's result, but Diao Si was not idle without work, so she had no choice but to let him leave.
It was finally dark, and this time Diao Si used magic to hypnotize his two male servants, and then left his residence early and floated to the vicinity of the dark mage's grave.
He carefully observed there for a long time, then summoned Lao Zhu and asked him about the treasure. But Lao Zhu actually said that he didn't sense any treasure yesterday. This made Diao Si worried, because at that time he did sense that there were a large number of dark elves.
Just when Diao Si was about to return to that place again to let Lao Zhu feel better, he suddenly found a black shadow suddenly appearing at the tomb. After it appeared, it quickly floated towards the direction of the palace.
It was the figure of a real person, definitely not a ghost, and Diao Si seemed to have seen this figure before. It seemed to be the old dark mage who summoned the dragon when he fought against him.
But since she is a living person and a dark mage, why did she suddenly appear in this cemetery? Is she here to practice magic? Or looking for treasure? No, it's impossible. Diao Si has been waiting here for so long just now. She just showed up now. She probably still lives here.
Well, it's useless to think too much. Since she can emerge from there, it means there must be an entrance or something. While she is gone now, Diao Si just goes to find out the truth.
So Diao Si carefully lurked over again, and after walking around twice, he sensed a large number of dark elves again. Yes, he sensed these dark elves when he passed by here yesterday. The entrance or something must be nearby.
Diao Si checked for a while and finally found some obscure traces. On the side of a very large cemetery, he found a gap that even a fat man couldn't get through.
This gap didn't look like an entrance at all, it was just a damaged tombstone. However, when I walked there and looked carefully, I realized that the space inside was quite large. Diao Si listened carefully and made sure there was no one inside before diving in.
It's dark inside, and unless you're already very familiar with the environment here, it wouldn't be easy to walk through. After walking along the stone wall for a while, Diao Si began to see the faint light of fire swaying inside.
Underneath this cemetery, and even under the entire dark mage's cemetery, there are such complex secret passages. Although these secret passages are only as narrow as sewers, they are all designed in a regular manner. This could not have been dug out later, it must have been built when these cemeteries were being built.
"Uh ah..." There was actually a woman's scream. It seemed that there was a special basement at the other end of the secret passage, maybe related to the Mages Association or some mysterious organization.
When we arrived, we finally touched this secret passage. As expected, it was a relatively open space. Oil lamps were still burning here. Diao Si could feel that there was an air gap leading to the outside world.
"Yeah..." While he was still observing this mysterious basement, another woman's miserable scream came from inside, and the sound was very close. It was believed that the people inside were torturing one or more women. .
Diao Si's mind flashed through some scenes of cultists torturing people, and he thought that this might be something similar to a dark ritual that the summoning mage used to enhance her dark magic.
But as he continued to approach like this, Diao Si didn't feel that there were too many people inside, so he used the magic of refraction again, and found that there was only a half-naked woman inside, and no one else.
So Diao Si walked over cautiously, and as expected, there was only the woman inside. She was hung in mid-air, with blood dripping from some parts of her body, and she looked quite painful.
It turns out that the old witch often operates at night like this just to capture people and torture them in the basement of this cemetery. This old guy is really perverted. Diao Si has not heard Lao Zhu say that this can be helpful for dark magic, but here There are quite a few dark elves gathered there.
"Uh ah..." The woman shouted again, and the voice echoed in the basement, making Diao Si feel uncomfortable.
"Sister, what's the use of your shouting? People outside can't hear it." When Diao Si said this, the guy immediately turned his head and fell off the hanging hook.
She turned out to be quite young, with big eyes, and she looked pretty good, but her body was full of scars, and her blood-red breasts were of little appreciation value.
"Who are you? You can find yourself here..." The guy seemed to have been tortured here for a while, and he still spoke so clearly, as if he was not injured at all.
Diao Si looked at the dark secret passage again, and then responded to her: "Don't worry about who I am. Before the old guy comes back, I will rescue you."
After hearing this, the guy was stunned as if in a daze. It took him a while to react, and then asked Diao Si: "Aren't you afraid of being discovered by her when you rescued me like this?"
This made Diao Si a little confused. This guy didn't show any excitement when he heard that someone was trying to save her. He must have been frightened by the old witch and had some mental problems. (To be continued)
