After stepping out of the gate of the small hotel, Sharp's figure shattered like a blister and disappeared into the thick night. Old Green didn't look back, and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you ready to accept his mission?"
"Whether we will accept it or not, the most important issue right now is that this place is no longer safe, and we must transfer immediately." Douglas said with a serious expression.
Fernando also woke up, and muttered, "It's up to those old men to decide whether to accept this mission. All we can do is leave here, and then we have to establish another place to communicate and transit."
This is an obvious problem. Even if the union agrees to take over the task of assassinating Alfonso and establishes a good private cooperative relationship with the nobles represented by Sharp, it will not expose the contact transfer station that is very important to the entire organization. In their line of sight, if communication is required, it is better to maintain a smaller and more one-way channel, such as old Green to shoulder this task.
Carelessness in such matters can only mean that the organization is not far from doom!
Then, Fernando said to Douglas and Old Green via telepathic connection, worrying that the partition wall could hear his ears: "See you at the underwater ruins of Lake Lamorag."
"Okay, you go first, and I have to leave some secret notes to warn the mages who came during this time." Old Green looked around the lobby of the small hotel, with obvious sighs and reluctance in his tone, as if he was forced to leave I have worked so hard to run my family for decades, so I have to go far away.
Fernando sneered: "If you lose this dilapidated place, you will lose it. What is there to regret?"
"In fact, this is a 'family business' that my great-grandfather started." Old Green's tone was flat, without any irritation, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.
Fernando froze for a moment, looked down at his toes, then raised his head, looked at the wine cabinet behind Old Green with a pair of bright red eyes and said, "Maybe this hotel will still be preserved, you are a sky knight , has a good relationship with many nobles. It may come in handy in the future, but there won't be so many magicians haunting here... "
He rambled on and on and on.
"Get lost, you hot-tempered boy! I don't need your sympathy!" Old Green suddenly swears, interrupting Fernando's words.
Fernando's face turned slightly red, and he snorted, "I sympathize with the black claw dog, and I don't sympathize with you, an old man half lying in the cemetery!"
After speaking, he turned and left.
Old Green raised his chin, motioned for Douglas to follow, and heyed at the same time: "Didn't necromancers often say that lying in the cemetery is the beginning of life?"
"Those smelly rotting corpses know what life is?" Fernando said without turning his head.
"You brat, you are not as old as me. Do you know what life is?" Old Green "showed no weakness".
In Douglas' slightly helpless eyes. The two kept arguing like this until Fernando walked out of the gate. Into the night.
…
Under the starlight, the lake shone brightly, rippling, peaceful and quiet. And there are many such lakes, like scattered pearls, scattered on the earth, forming a string of dreamy necklaces.
"As expected of the 'Land of a Thousand Lakes'..." Douglas, who was floating on the lake, said in admiration, and took a deep breath of the fresh air with the smell of fresh water.
Fernando was a little surprised and said: "Do you know the 'Land of a Thousand Lakes'?"
"Of course, its reputation has spread to Antiffler along with the magicians who came and went." Douglas laughed.
"What's so interesting about this..." Fernando muttered without any aesthetic taste, and then said, "This is La Morag Lake, follow me carefully."
Douglas looked at the lake. It is found that it is not big, and some people believe that it is a giant puddle, but can there be underwater relics in such a small lake
The two cast spells, fell into the water, and quickly sank to the bottom of the lake in the rippling waves.
Fernando noticed Douglas' strangeness. Explained a sentence in the soul connection: "I don't know which idiot magician built it. Maybe he wanted to connect the entire land of thousands of lakes. However, it was because of his idiot that this ruin was not discovered. The church can't imagine that there will be ruins under such a small lake with no resources."
There is a small cave hidden under a boulder. It doesn't look like it was opened for humans, but it looks like the lair of some aquatic creatures.
Fernando directly vaporized the body and got in. Douglas followed suit without hesitation.
After passing through the winding and narrow "pipe", Douglas found himself in a palace, where many magicians came and went, and he was quite alert to their arrival, but after seeing Fernando's familiar handsome face After that, they all turned their heads and were busy with their own affairs, such as the exchange of alchemy materials and magic books, such as asking others to refine items.
Among them, a high-level magician directly cast magic to check whether Fernando was transformed or disguised by someone else. In this regard, the magicians known as "sewer rats" are much more vigilant than the referee, because those who are not vigilant enough , are already dead, or have "learned" to be "vigilant" at a high price.
"This is where magicians gather..." Douglas said with a sigh of relief.
"Douglas, Fernando, you have come at a good time. The chairman knows what happened just now, please go and see him." Roland, who escaped early under the cover of Fernando, trotted over.
"Is this the headquarters of the union?" Douglas was a little surprised, but Fernando didn't mention it before.
Fernando also felt weird: "The president is here?"
"Hmm." Roland nodded and looked Fernando up and down, "It's good that you're fine. Mr. Chairman was going to meet Douglas here and hold a core meeting, but there was an accident at the Grilled Fish Hotel..."
It seems that he is still wary of me, and he hasn't let me know where the headquarters is so soon... Douglas thought to himself, but he never bothered with such small problems, and nodded generously: "Roland, please take us to see Mr. President. "
"The idiot task they ordered..." Fernando followed Douglas, cursing quickly.
Passing through a corridor paved with stone bricks, a hall full of strange patterns appeared at the end. A hale and hearty old man with white beard and hair strode out to greet him, and said with a smile: "Welcome to join our magician union." Union. Douglas, you are an excellent magician. Your research on curves and irregular shapes has come ahead of us. If I have the opportunity, I hope to ask you for advice."
Douglas was slightly taken aback. Arnold, the president of the Union of Magicians, also knew that he was studying "flow"
"Flow number" is the name he initially named for the part of the mathematical content he studied, but he felt more and more that this name was inappropriate and planned to change it.
Douglas' astonishment didn't last long, and he soon realized the communication he had had with Fernando these days. I'm afraid Arnold has been watching him all the time. He didn't even have a caucus until a few days after he scheduled it. Perhaps it is also to have time to "observe" myself.
Becoming the leader of a relatively large magic organization is really not easy!
"I was inspired by the studies of many great magicians in the past," Douglas said humbly.
Arnold has few wrinkles, and his face is rosy. He pointed at Douglas and said with a smile: "Don't be humble. If you can succeed in research, the difficulty of learning and building all magic will be greatly reduced, which will bring us a better future. Well, let’s not discuss this today. We will mainly talk about the task given by the ‘Dark Blue Demon’. By the way, this is Rigg, you have seen it, this is Ramon. Veronica, both belong to the union Vice president."
He introduced the few people who came with him, there were Rigg with a lot of wrinkles and a hooked nose, some were tall and thin. Ramon with a horse face, Veronica with blond hair pulled up high and green eyes like gems, they all wore typical magic empire robes, gloomy and deep.
After Douglas said hello one by one, he smiled at a brown-haired young man next to Arnold: "Garos, long time no see."
The young man's hair was neatly parted on both sides, and his high collar reached the top of his head. He had a cynical smile on his face: "I really didn't expect you to be able to raid the referee. This is Fernando's style."
He is Gallows who introduced Douglas to the Wizards Union, a friend of Fernando and Roland, a student of Arnold, and a high-ranking mage with six rings.
"Hmph, are you envious?" Fernando didn't suffer at all.
Garros laughed, his black eyes looked at his toes, and he didn't answer, because the chairman, Arnold, started to ask: "What do you think of the task entrusted by the 'Dark Blue Devil'?"
Roland, who led the way, quietly exited the palace and closed the gate.
Rieg said with a gloomy face: "He just used this task to warn us, there is no need to dwell on this issue."
"But what if we can really complete it? Will he really value us and initially cooperate with us?" Ramon had a long face, opposing Rigg's opinion.
"First of all, we have to be able to complete it!" Rieger and Veronica said at the same time, the sentences are different, but the meaning is the same.
The scene suddenly fell silent, and even Fernando didn't dare to boast that Alfonso was not difficult to kill. After all, the union is currently being watched by "Heart of Time" Ketonia.
Arnold seemed very satisfied with this situation, with the same smile on his face, he coughed twice and said, "It's not like we don't have a chance to complete this task."
"President, don't be joking!" Rieger said seriously.
"It's really impossible to rely solely on our own strength, but what if other magical organizations cooperate? They have not received the attention of the 'Heart of Time'." Arnold smiled with a good temper, and then spoke to everyone Before continuing, "I've been busy contacting other magic organizations during this time, and I happened to have some results. I invited many magic organizations to 'Alinge' as guests to discuss cooperation issues, so I will Today's meeting is here, not headquarters, because 'Allinge' is also near Rentat."
He sort of explained why he didn't take Douglas to headquarters.
"President, are you sure you can persuade those organizations to cooperate?" Veronica pointed to the core of the problem.
Arnold smiled slyly, like an old fox: "If they know that we have teamed up with the deputy head of the 'Sword of Truth' Knights - the 'Dark Blue Demon', they will definitely be willing to cooperate with us to complete this task and contact the nobles to contend The church is not a strategy that only we can come up with."
"When did we cooperate with 'Dark Blue Devil'?" Even Ramon expressed his confusion this time.
Arnold said with a chuckle: "After uniting with other organizations to complete the task of assassinating Alfonso, he should pay attention to our strength."
Fernando twitched the corner of his mouth, the president is too treacherous!
"Which organizations have come to 'Allinge' this time?" Rieger thought for a while, and asked cautiously without dwelling on the task.
Arnold nodded: "Don't worry, the organizations I invited are all weaker than ours, not the legendary organizations like 'Palmela's Cabin', 'Death Scythe' and 'Dance of Confusion', among them It is worth noting that there are one or two Nine Ring Masters'Red Eyes', 'Soul Supreme', 'Shadow Singer' and 'Tower of the Destroyer', and there are a dozen or twenty ordinary organizations without Nine Ring Masters .”
"At that time, it will be me, Douglas and Fernando."
