There is an additional magic circle outside Dongfeng City. For ordinary people, it is just an extra topic of conversation. They will discuss the origin and shape of this magic circle in the black, short and dirty tavern, and then gossip about it. How powerful are the legendary braves and heroes, this small magic circle is not worth mentioning, it can be cut through with a single sword!
But in the eyes of the nobles, the appearance of this magic circle represents some kind of signal. The city lord's mansion held a simple banquet the day before yesterday, and only less than twenty people were invited to the banquet. It seemed to be a normal entertainment, but the strange thing was that the nobles who attended the banquet behaved very strangely after they came back. Money, or special materials go to the city lord's mansion.
The nobles watching at first thought that the people who attended the banquet were threatened, but then they found that those people actually sent their relatives to the castle... If it is normal to send a beautiful woman or a wife, but almost everyone It's not normal to send my whole family in there. Coupled with the magic circle that suddenly appeared today, the nobles who were watching were keenly aware that something was wrong.
Guards who were good at intelligence and reconnaissance were sent out by each family, and soon they got the news they wanted.
A corpse has been stolen from a cemetery outside the city, most likely by a necromancer.
At the banquet held by the city lord last night, it is said that many nobles reached a security agreement with the city lord's mansion.
A new magic circle was built today!
Humans are very good at associating creatures, as long as they think hard enough, many clues can be connected in series. Many nobles reacted and immediately brought gifts to visit the city lord's mansion, while the city lord and his wife watched with smiles as one nobleman after another came to their door.
Uther and Sophia don't have the concept of 'influence', but they have another plausible alternative: connections.
In the evening, when no guests came to the door, Sophia sat on the balcony in the sunset, looking at the magic circle in the distance, and said softly to her husband: "I am very happy now, but I am also very worried. Beta's tricks are very useful, but they are so effective that I am a little scared. What is the purpose of such a genius-type character coming to our Winterwind City? He is not close to beauty, and he does not love money. He is not attached to power, what on earth does he want to do?"
Regarding this question, Uther could not answer, he just said: "No matter what he wants to do, it will be a matter of the future. Now that he is our ally, we will first hide this idea in our hearts and bear him. As long as The matter of the Temple of Life is over, even if there is power behind Beta, we still have the power to fight."
"hope so!"
Liang Lidong didn't know that the city lord and his wife had become suspicious of him. He was now on the way back to the mountain, followed by two magical girls and more than twenty cavalrymen.
Three casters, plus more than 20 elite cavalry, this kind of combat power is enough to fight an outpost battle. It stands to reason that such a camp should not encounter any obstacles, but they were indeed stopped in the middle of the road. on the way.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, an old man wearing a green tree priest's robe stood in the middle of the road. He held a curved black scepter in his left hand, and an emerald the size of a fist was inlaid on the top of the scepter. This expensive gemstone reflected several green gleams, some of which landed on the old man's already withered face, making his already gloomy face a bit eerie.
This old man Liang Lidong knew, the Archbishop of the Temple of Life, Mark! Liang Lidong guessed that he should know the magic of 'law of cause and effect', but he didn't understand why the other party had to block here.
If he came here to find trouble... Liang Lidong is not afraid at all, the law of karma is indeed powerful, but it has no effect on him. But the opponent's level is very high, even if Liang Lidong is not afraid of the law of karma, he still has to worry about the opponent's ordinary magic.
Liang Lidong had always wanted to assassinate the old man, and now that the other party appeared here alone, it should have been a good opportunity, but Liang Lidong didn't dare to do it casually. He didn't believe that the other party was a fool, and he dared to appear in front of the enemy alone, so if something went wrong, there must be a demon. Liang Lidong has been paying attention to the surrounding environment, and if there is something wrong, he plans to strike.
As if seeing Liang Lidong's scruples, Mark smiled and said, "Your Excellency Beta, please rest assured that I did not come here this time with malicious intentions. I came here with good intentions?"
"Goodwill?" Liang Lidongce stepped forward immediately, walked to the front of the team, and asked back: "The Temple of Life and I don't seem to have any misunderstanding, right? Where did the goodwill and malice come from?"
Pretending to be ignorant while pretending to understand is a must-have specialty for aristocrats, and Liang Lidong is also well versed in this.
Mark didn't seem to be surprised by the other party's 'sophistry', he still smiled: "Goodwill is goodwill, it doesn't have to be given to enemies, but it can also be given to friends. I am here this time mainly to talk to you, can you Make an appointment for some free time?"
As soon as he said this, almost everyone's eyes turned to Liang Lidong, especially the two magical girls. They could see that Mark seemed to want to win Beta to the Temple of Life. Now the strength of both sides is about the same, but if Liang Lidong falls to the Temple of Life, the balance of strength will be broken immediately, so it is natural for Babara and others to become nervous.
Liang Lidong waved his hand: "No need, I have a lot of things to do and I don't have much time."
Mark was rejected, but he didn't care: "It's okay, I happen to have a lot of time, whenever you are free, we can talk anytime."
Liang Lidong had already guessed what Mark was planning, and it was obvious that the wooing was fake, but in fact it was a scheming scheme. As long as the two of them continue to chat, with so many people around watching, if they report it afterwards, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the city owner and his wife. Although Liang Lidong doesn't care about other people's opinions, if this incident puts them at a disadvantage, it will have a great impact on his original plan.
Now that he knew what the other party was planning, he should counter it. Liang Lidong took two steps back, and he smiled: "But I'm sorry, but I don't have a good opinion of Mr. Mark. I don't think we will ever sit down. Opportunity to talk."
"Don't be so full of words!" Mark said unhurriedly: "I know that you are looking for important people, and I have their clues!"
In Hollevin, they and their two words have different pronunciations, so it is easy to tell them apart.
what! Liang Lidong was taken aback for a moment, his first reaction was, how did Mark know that he was looking for the Persian cat and Xiaobai? His subtle change of expression made Mark smile as if the plot had succeeded.
Then a ball of paper was thrown in front of Liang Lidong: "If Your Excellency Beta wants to know about them, please do what is written on this note!"
After Mark threw out the note, he flew away from the place. At the same time, several priests also flew up in the mountains and forests not far from the road.
Liang Lidong quickly opened the ball of paper, but to his surprise, the ball of paper was completely crumpled from a piece of white paper, without a word on it... He froze for two or three seconds, and then the white paper in his hand suddenly melted into A piece of flying ash drifted with the wind into the setting sun.
Oops! Liang Lidong's face became a little ugly, he understood that he was misled and fell into a scheming scheme.
