It was a starless night.
The full moon hangs alone, like a large shining jade plate, in stark contrast to the clear and cloudless night sky.
A few figures as small as a palm suddenly streaked across the night sky, and only a trace of black mist could be captured by the bright full moon. In addition, it is the weird laughter of "hee hee hee hee"—
In the Golden Cross Medical School in Waterglass, Leon Rick was at the side of Magda when he suddenly raised his head and looked out the window... The shadows of the trees fell, as if ghosts were swaggering.
For some reason, a faint worry suddenly rose in Leon Rick's heart.
Suddenly, Leon Rick noticed that a dark shadow seemed to pass through the window, and it disappeared in a flash at an extremely fast speed. When he looked at it again, he had disappeared without a trace. Leon Rick stared out the window for a long time, but other than the shaking of the tree shadows, nothing strange happened.
Leon Rick shook his head and rubbed his temples. Is it because I heard Sulu's words in the daytime and had hallucinations under psychological pressure
Maybe... that's a wizard.
For ordinary people, wizards only exist in legends; but as the patriarch of the Griffin family, Leon Rick knows a lot of information that outsiders don't know. Wizards really exist, and three hundred years ago, the royal court of Fuxu There was also a princess who studied witchcraft, but she disappeared inexplicably later. External historians recorded that she died of illness in the palace, but according to Griffin's family secrets, the princess actually just left the royal court of Fuxu to look for a wizard. The law of immortality.
Therefore, although Leon Rick has never really seen a wizard, he has read a lot of records about wizards. When he was young, he even wanted to be a wizard, but unfortunately, he did not find a way.
"Is it really a wizard?" Leon Rick looked at the full moon in the sky and murmured in a low voice: "If it is as Sulu said, that is a noble wizard, and Magda shouldn't have... Alas, forget it. , everything happened, we can only find a way to make up for it.”
After all, she is her own daughter. Even at this point, Leon Rick is unwilling to criticize him.
"And the 'magician' that Baal said, who is he? It would be great if Baal could be caught and asked." However, Leon Rick knew that Baal could not be moved for the time being. As the leader of the city, he wanted to know about the city's Information is not difficult. But in just a few hours, he learned that the young man, who might be a wizard, was staying at Baal's villa.
God knows what kind of rhetoric that Baal used, that the wizard didn't kill him? !
When Leon Rick was worried, there were footsteps outside, and Sulu opened the door and walked in.
"Why is it so noisy outside?" Leon Rick asked.
Sulu's face was worried: "Lord Count, there are two more cases of that strange case. The voice just now should have been made by the dean when he brought the doctor over."
"Two more cases? With the previous patients, it's almost over a hundred cases, right?"
"Yes, exactly one hundred."
Li Onrick rubbed his messy hair with a very headache. It was a troubled time. Why did the internal and external troubles happen to come together
"Well, anyway, I'm also the executor of Waterglass, and I'm in the hospital. I'll take a look, and you'll be watching over Magda."
…
Leon Rick was not the only one who sighed at the moon. Angel also looked at the moon that looked like a glowing plate at this time, but he was not looking at the moon in the sky, but the moon in the water.
As soon as the door opened, there was a long waterway. The moon in the sky is reflected on the waterway like this. With the gentle wind blowing, the moon in the water is wrinkled and wrinkled, light and beautiful.
Angel slowly rowed the boat along the waterway, the boat moved slowly, the moon shone in the sky and the moon reflected in the water.
Just when the full moon was on top of his head, Angel stopped.
He came to the gap between two high-rise buildings in the bay area, where there was a narrow and deep waterway. Angel drove the boat and got in. In the shadows of the tall buildings on both sides, there were decadent beggars holding their legs and shivering under the street lamps, looking very pitiful. But when Angel was rowing past, the beggar suddenly opened his eyes and watched Angel gradually move away. Then he took out a microphone with a thin wire and whispered: "Tell the master, the target is here."
The beggar's voice thought it was very low, but Angel had been observing the surroundings with his mental tentacles, and naturally he didn't miss his conversation.
"I still use a microphone. It seems that the master here is not very good." Whether it is a unilateral sound transmission, or the synchronization of the two sides, it is only a level 1 trick. Angel thought to himself, maybe he overestimated the level of "magician".
That's right, the reason why Angel went out late at night was to meet this "magician".
With the help of Barr, the "Magician" also agreed to this meeting, but the location and time of the meeting were determined by him. Angel also has no objection to this. He wants to communicate with the "magician", and naturally he will not put on a high profile. Appropriate concessions can make the communication smoother.
Angel went down the river, and at the end of the narrow channel was a barbed wire, blocking the progress of the ship. At the same time, there was also a secret door on the wall next to him. Angel stood up from the boat and pushed it gently, and the secret door was opened.
The long stairs, from top to bottom, every section of the way, there will be an oil lamp on the wall.
Angel walked for a minute, and it was estimated that he stopped at a position ten meters underwater. At the end of the stairs was a simple copper gate.
The copper door is open, and you can see the vast space inside.
A man dressed as a magician sat at the head of the long table, and there was no one else in sight except him.
But Angel clearly felt that there were heavy breathing sounds in some dark corners.
Angel originally thought that the magician chose this location to make some self-interested arrangements, but in fact he was greatly disappointed.
The people hiding in the dark are all mortals, maybe they have certain fighting skills, maybe they are formal knights, but they are of no use to him.
As for the magician sitting in the main seat, Angel did not rashly check his cultivation level, but pressed his hat, walked in without any timidity, and sat at the other end of the long table.
Nearly five meters long table, the magician sat at one end, and Angel sat at the other end. Tea, refreshments, candlesticks and flowers are placed on the long table.
"Your Excellency the Magician, good evening." Angel took off his hat and put it on the dining table.
The magician looked up and saw the weird smiling face on the black hat opposite. For some reason, looking at that smiling face, his heart was a little fluffy, as if he was laughing at him.
"I don't know what to call Mr.?" This is a slightly hoarse mid-bass.
Angel raised his eyes and glanced at the exquisite mask on the magician's face, and said noncommittally, "Masque. Your Excellency can call me that."
"Mr. Mask?" The magician chuckled in a low voice. This title was obviously a temporary code name, but he didn't care.
The magician couldn't see through the boy on the opposite side, and he had been watching secretly since the boy left Barr's villa. The boy's every move looks normal, but it seems to have a strange meaning, just like the hat that smiles weirdly at him, which makes him a little hairy.
"I heard from Barr that Mr. Mask is looking for me?"
In order to avoid accidents that dragged on for too long, he didn't make any greetings and went straight to the point.
Angel smiled and said, "I just came here, and I just wanted to know which wizards are close to Waterglass, or wizard organizations. I want to avoid conflicts and find someone to rely on if I can."
Angel didn't tell the real purpose. The exchange of information between wizards must require an equivalent transaction. If he is too urgent, he will tell his purpose and what he wants to know as soon as possible. If the other party is inferior, if the other party has some eyesight, he can sell the price; and he uses this method of side-by-side attack, it is more like "worshiping the dock", less "transaction" meaning, it can be easier Out of words.
Hearing this question, the magician hesitated for a while: "There is no wizarding organization near Waterglass... In other words, I have never heard of a wizarding organization in the entire Dawn Royal Court or the surrounding countries."
After a pause, the magician said again: "If there were, I would have gone to apprentice to study."
"Oh?" Angel rolled his eyes gently: "Could it be that Your Excellency the Magician is also practicing alone?"
The magician nodded: "I stepped into the wizarding world unintentionally. Before, I basically studied by myself, and only recently began to communicate with my colleagues."
Hearing what the magician said, Angel was even more certain that the other party was only a first-level apprentice. If you get a random copy of the "Guiding Method", you can study it yourself. Unless you have bad luck, your physique is suitable for that Guiding Method, and the model fits well, you will enter the world quickly. Otherwise, it will only be a waste of life.
"So it is." Angel suddenly realized: "Then, do you know which wizarding organization is the closest to here?"
When Angel said this, he paused for a while, with a trace of sadness on his face: "I have reached a bottleneck recently, whether it is magic or meditation, and I urgently need someone's guidance. That's why I walked out of the mountains and came here. ."
Angel's words convey a lot of information, such as he is from a deep mountain, and he is eager to communicate. None of this is false, but neither is it all true.
The magician also shook his head at this question: "I don't know that either."
Angel carefully observed the magician's eyes. He was very sincere when he spoke, and it didn't seem like he was lying. Also, there is no need to lie about this kind of question.
Angel sighed in his heart. He didn't expect a meeting that he had hoped for, but in the end he got nothing.
There is no way to do this. Judging from the magician's performance and the surrounding arrangements, he is basically a wild way. Even if he has extraordinary power, he does not have the ability and background to match.
"I just heard from Your Excellency that you have communicated with other fellows recently, right? Are there well-informed people among the fellows you know?" Angel still didn't want to miss this rare opportunity.
The magician pondered for a moment: "No, the group of people I know are scattered in several nearby countries, and their situation is basically the same as mine."
When Angel heard this, he sighed. It seems that we still have to find another way. Maybe we should go to the royal court. Judging from the background of a country, there should be some accumulation of knowledge, right
At this moment, the magician suddenly said: "No, maybe someone knows."
