Lord Helanza

Lance took Carl and Surdak to the top of the magic guild. The office of the head of the magic guild’s law enforcement group Gerald the magician is here.

The top floor of the Magic Tower is a bit deserted. Not many magicians are qualified to work on this floor. The empty hall is filled with a faint scent of jasmine. The sun shines into the hall from all around glass windows. The Magic Tower The top floor has very good lighting, and the top floor is completely isolated from other floors, not in the spiral design of the magic tower.

There are various painted murals on the dome-shaped sky dome on the top of the magic tower. Surdak looked up and saw a city in the clouds. From a distance, the city in the clouds was like a giant mountain floating on In midair, there are many exquisite dome-shaped buildings built on floating mountain. The unified feature of these buildings is that they have no doors. The windows of all buildings extend out of huge terraces. A Captain's white-winged warrior is flying in the sky. , The entire cloud city is also full of prosperity.

Surdak looked dizzy after a second glance. The best posture to appreciate this ceiling mural is to lie on the ground.

"Carl, do you really have such a gorgeous sky city?" Surdak gently pushed Carl from behind and asked him.

It happened that a female magician wearing a black and white striped robe dedicated to magic passed by the three of them. Seeing the shocked expression on Surdak’s face, she couldn’t help smiling with a'puchi', she was holding a pile of magic The book went in a hurry, and disappeared into a room in a blink of an eye.

Carl lifts the head, following Surdak's gaze, looked towards the painted paintings on the top of the sky dome, and he was also very shocked.

"Of course, it's just that these wingmen left Roland continent a long time ago, and now very few people can see Winged Human Race." Carl said seriously.

"Lance, have you seen the Winged Human Race?" Surdak slowed down and asked the magician Lance, who was leading the way.

Lance came to this floor, the expression on his face became much more serious than usual, he paused a little, and replied: "No, but there is a Winged in Ferdinand Scholar’s ​​laboratory. The wings of Human Race, you can go and take a good look."

When passing a glass window, Surdak took the opportunity to take a look out of the window. The entire wealthy area was taking in the entire scene. There is still a lot of snow remaining on the roof of the gorgeous building. Knight Academy occupies a large piece of land in this extremely expensive land. Whether it is the riding training ground at the back or the playground in front of the teaching building, it looks very empty. , Surdak can confirm at a glance that it is the Knight Academy of Helanza City.

The three people passed by a stone wall with reliefs, and just saw three magical Transmission Gates standing next to the wall. There are three magician guards in front of the three magic methods. They are wearing belts. A magic robe with a hood, standing in front of the Magic Transmission Gate is motionless. If it weren't for Surdak's approach, and seeing their faces hidden under the hood, they would think it was three statues.

Several magicians gathered in front of a stone platform, bent over to fill out the form on the stone platform seriously, Lance walked over to greet the group of magicians intimately, and these magicians were wearing them on their chests. It symbolizes the badge of the Enforcement Corps of the Magic Union. The pattern of the badge is a magic book and a magic wand on both ends of the scale.

Lance took Carl and Surdak to leave, and Carl asked curiously: "Lance, what are they doing?"

"These magicians are going through the transfer formalities." Lance I seem to have become accustomed to these things and replied casually.

Carl looked at the three magic Transmission Gates with eager eyes, and asked Lance, "Are these three Transmission Gates open to the outside world?"

Lance opened his hands , The magician’s unique proud expression appeared on his face, and he opened his hands and said: “How is it possible! Only people in the magic guild have the right to use it, and the price of one transmission is expensive. Of course, if there is a magic guild president or law enforcement team leader, The granted use rights can also be borrowed temporarily."

The expression on Lance's face somewhat preserves a beating.

"Do I need to pay to use these magic Transmission Gates?" Karl asked Lance curiously.

"Of course!" Lance was nodded.

"How expensive can it be?"

Lance pondered for a while before saying to Karl: "For our magician, every time we send it, the price is five to ten magic crystals. No! As for the nobles in Helanza, I don’t know."

"I’m afraid I’m not financially able to use the Transmission Gate here before I inherit the family territory..." After Carl listened, he immediately Said that his current financial ability could not afford such an expensive transmission cost, and then he said with some yearning: "I heard that Grimm Imperial Capital has a transmission hall with dozens of Transmission Gates. You can take the Transmission Gate to enter the empire. The capital city of the province."

A strong magic halo radiated from the magic method. Those magic streamers were like flowing mist. These magic streamers were bound by a certain force and formed a fan. The gate of magic.

The lab of the head of the law enforcement team, Gerald the Magician, is located in the room on the left side of the Transmission Gate. After Lance stepped forward to explain his intentions, the three waited for a while outside the door, Jello Ms. Mami, the magic assistant of the Magician of Gerald, invited the three of them into the room of the Magician of Gerald.

That is a round room, all around the bookshelves against the wall are almost ten meters high, all the bookshelves are piled up with magic books, Gerald the magician is lying on the bookcase , Holding a magnifying glass and looking at a magic pattern array, the cover of the magic book is dark, Surdak feels a bit similar to the one in his magic pocket, the whole magic book is surrounded by a shadow The weird breath of the elements.

Seeing the three of Lance coming in, Gerald the magician put down the work at hand, and his eyes fell on Carl and Surdak.

Carl told Gerald magician that Samoa did not die, and that the person who was burned to death by the Fireball Technique was probably Samoa’s stand-in. Gerald magician listened to the autopsy process. Only slightly nodded, without any surprised expression, just rang the bell and called Ms. Mei Mi from the outside.

"Mami, you go and invite two magicians, Albert and Brewer." Gerald the magician instructed.

"Okay, Lord Gerald." Ms. Memmy walked out immediately.

It didn’t take long for a knock at the door. Two young magicians stood at the door and said respectfully: "Jerald Magician, are you looking for us?"

Gerald the magician motioned for the two to come in, pointed at Surdak and Carl and said, "These two are Knights from the guard camp. They came here this time to inform us that the Samoa’s body is a fake. The real Samoa is still at large. Can you tell me a little bit about your pursuit of Samoa last night?"

"Of course, Gerald the Great Magician." The two magicians looked at each other. , Replied.

"It's like this..." The two magicians asked Carl about the details of the incident. Samoa exposed his whereabouts in Christie Castle. After leaving, he fell into the sight of the Magic Union Law Enforcement Group. Here, the two magicians of the Magic Union Law Enforcement Group chased after Samoa for nearly half a night, and finally blocked Samoa in the alley 19-2 of Helanza City. Both sides used magic, and finally the Magic Union Law Enforcement Group The magician Elbert used a big Fireball to burn Samoa to death, but Samoa didn't choose to escape during the whole process.

After listening to the narration of the two magicians, Carl and Surdak naturally didn't understand what was going on.

Finally, the big magician of Gerald said: "...well! Our magic union law enforcement team will pay close attention to this matter, if there is any news about Samoa from the guard camp. , Please contact our law enforcement team in time."

The two magicians got up and left, and Lance took Carl and Surdak to leave.

Lance sent Carl and Surdak to leave the guarded top floor of the magic union. When they climbed the stairs midway, they looked towards and explained that this is not the first time this happened in the magic union law enforcement group. There is the illusion that the surrogate technique can cause the death of the target, and some undead warlocks can refine the puppets, which can achieve the same purpose.

The Black Magic Priory has a complete stand-in technique. This evil black magic requires a special medium when used, and it is a taboo magic clearly stipulated by the Magic Guild.

Carl and Surdak left the magic guild and rushed back to the guard camp on horseback.

……

Surdak walked into the prison of the guard camp and found that there was only a long corridor of Daoist Priest. On both sides of the corridor were some prison cells separated by iron fences. The prison was more than ten meters deep underground. In winter, I couldn't feel the cold outside, but the prison was dark and damp. Surdak stood at the Prison Sect gate for a while, and felt a chilly atmosphere surrounding him. The body seemed to want to get into his bones.

He showed the guards guarding the Prison Sect gate the badge of the guard camp, and took out the entry and exit voucher specially signed by Sauron Great Captain, only then was the guard allowed to enter the guard camp prison.

With his keen sense of magic, Surdak only feels that the prison is filled with a gloomy death spirit. Under such a heavy death spirit, Surdak feels that it may not be too peaceful here. The prison is mottled. The walls are covered with dark purple moss. On the walls, there are some wooden crosses that can dispel dead sacred relic, but it seems that these wooden sacred relics are almost rotten and are about to grow mushrooms.

The top of the corridor is full of white cobwebs, and the walls in some cells are still stained with blood, but I don't see how many prisoners are held in this prison.

Occasionally, there will be a prisoner in a cell with a dull expression. Seeing Surdak walking by, there is no reaction at all. This reminds Surdak of the one he saw in the morgue in the morning. Levi, the manager of the opera house, heard that he had spent nearly a month in the prison of the guard camp. He was so skinny that he almost lost his face. He crouched while walking. He already had a lot of painful memories.

Surdak walked in the jail for almost a quarter of an hour. When he was about to go to the end, he saw Glenfel Baron tied to a huge wooden cross in the room facing the cloister. He was hanging on his body. With heavy shackles, blood-stained linen shirts and trousers, and bare feet tied to the cross, in just over a week, Glenfell Baron looked even more miserable than the tramp on the street.

Standing in front of Glenfield, Surdak stopped, and the only time he saw Glenfield Baron was in the opera house.

At that time, Surdak was hiding in the box on the second floor of the Opera House, while Glennfeld Baron was sitting in the lobby on the first floor. There were many familiar nobles beside him, whether he entered or left. , Glenn Phil Baron has to keep busy greeting him, his reputation in the aristocratic circle has always been very good, but everyone didn’t expect him to collude with the Black Magic Priory, and he has a strong team under him. The bandit group in this summer bloodbathed three aristocratic manors one after another.

No one of the nobles ever thought that the secret mastermind of the bandit group was actually Glenfell Baron. After investigating this incident, As the water recedes, the rocks appear, the aristocratic circle of Helanza was almost in an uproar. .

"Glenfield Baron, you want to see me?" Surdak asked Lord Baron who was embarrassed before him.

The man hanging on the wooden cross struggling to open his eyes, it seems that he is not getting the treatment that death row prisoners deserve.

"Finally I saw you, Surdak Knight..." Glenfield's eyes were filled with silence, and his voice was extremely weak.

It’s just like some kind of flashback. After seeing Surdak, there was a flush of flush on his pale face, and a pair of eyes stared at Surdak firmly and said: “I’ve been guessing to destroy our series Who are the people in the action plan, including intercepting Tyler halfway, and rescuing Hoyle must also be related to you. The dark red Knight beside me followed some clues to Desolate Land outside the Paglos Pass, but never again. When I return, I just want to know if he died in your hands?"

Surdak stood silently and did not answer.

Silence is the answer.

The last glimmer of hope in Glenfield Baron's eyes was also disillusioned, his eyes became hollow and godless, perhaps at this moment he has died in the spiritual world.

After a long silence, Surdak felt that he should explain it. After all, he had not joined the guard camp at the time. At least he should explain his motives for doing it himself, so he pondered for a while and said: "...at that time The bandit leader robbed the ironwork I bought for the village on the road."

"cough cough cough..."

Only Glenfell Baron had a violent cough. Voice.

Surdak finally couldn't help but ask: "Since I answered your question, I also have a question to ask you, what are you looking for?"

Glen Phil Baron did not answer this question, only said: "I will bring this secret to the grave, but you don't have to worry too much, someone will tell you the answer."

In fact, he is totally unnecessary. Came to see Glenn Phil Baron, although he knew that Glenn Phil Baron would not say it, but he still tried it with a hint of luck.

"..."

Failed to hear the answer from Glenfell Baron’s probe, Surdak could only lightly sighed, turned and left the prison silently, to this Baron, who is about to be pushed onto the guillotine, Surdak really has nothing to say.

When I walked out of the prison, there was a little snow in the sky outside.

The cold north wind mixed with snowflakes fell on Surdak's face, and there was no jail, which made people shudder.
