A great arcanist is indeed powerful and difficult to resist for an individual. It is almost the pinnacle of individual power known to mankind, but for a country, one or two more deaths will not shake the foundation of the country.
On the contrary, the impact of not handling this matter well may be greater than the Grand Arcanist himself.
Chateau was thinking about when the Seven Towers would release the investigation results, and unknowingly he had reached the main entrance of the Cormanso Embassy.
Just at this moment, a human figure walked out of the door. Xia Duo turned his head and looked over there curiously, wanting to see who had left the Cormanso Embassy.
"It's him?!"
Seeing that human being who was relatively familiar to him, Xia Duo was surprised, but not too surprised.
only--
A human great arcanist, under the current situation, left the main entrance of the Cormanthor embassy, which really arouses people's imagination.
That person is none other than Lord Hawke, who had a conflict with Sha Duo. Of course, he will now be called the Great Arcanist Hawke.
Not long ago, Iolum sent people to the Tower of Time to take away Aquileon Hawke. Shado originally thought that he would not have any interaction with him for quite some time in the future.
He didn't expect Sevington to be so young. He was just out for a walk when he saw the other party coming out of the Cormanso Embassy.
When you go out, you come in. You can't be kidnapped by the elves. In this case, what does it mean to take the initiative to go to the Cormanthor Embassy?
This reminded Xia Duo of how before he traveled through time, a high-ranking person in his hometown visited foreign embassies in broad daylight and sought so-called "asylum."
It's not like Lord Hawke is going to seek asylum, but it's certainly not good.
For almost no reason, Xia Duo believed that the other party must have been involved in Cliff's death. Whether it was betraying information or asking for credit, the other party's own attitude was clearly revealed.
"What a disaster!"
Sha Duo turned his head and was about to leave. He was really not interested in communicating with the other party, but he didn't expect Lord Hawke to take the initiative to contact him:
"Lord Chateau, that incident was all a misunderstanding. Aquilaine also learned a lesson because of this incident. Could it be that Lord Chateau still can't let it go?"
call--
Xia Duo had known for a long time that his illusion disguise could not be fooled by masters, but he did not expect to be recognized in this situation. It was really embarrassing!
Regarding Lord Hawke's initiative to talk to him, Sha Duo only responded by saying, "That incident has passed, and the teacher is waiting for me."
With his current sensitive status, if someone were to be found having a "secret conversation" with an Elf-leaning Grand Arcanist in front of the Cormanthor embassy, then perhaps even Iolum would suspect his role in this matter. !
What he said just now, "The teacher is waiting for me" is not a lie. Iolum did contact him just now, saying that he wanted to know more details about Cliff's death, and he made it clear that it was the request of the Seven Towers. .
Xia Duo couldn't refuse this, let alone refuse. Now he encountered Lord Hawke again. He really suspected that he didn't read the almanac when he went out.
"What you see with your eyes may not be true. I know this place is sensitive. If Lord Xia Duo needs it, you can contact me at any time. I always believe that we have common interests!"
After Lord Hawke's last message, a magical mark that was invisible to the naked eye quietly fell in front of Sha Duo.
Sha Duo just pretended not to see it and rushed to the Arcane Law Federation wholeheartedly, but the magic mark always followed him. It was just a magic mark, so Sha Duo would not take it seriously.
But he couldn't really turn a blind eye to the people behind the magic mark, and Lord Hawke's mention of "seeing may not be believing" seemed to have a profound meaning.
Infernal Affairs? Or is it just a rhetoric? Xia Duo couldn't tell, but at this moment, if he didn't accept this magic mark, either the other party would become angry and attack in public, or the mark would follow him until he was discovered by others.
As for directly destroying the mark, Xia Duo has never thought about it.
"Oh! What the hell is this!"
In fact, Xia Duo had already made a choice. It was just a magic mark. To use an analogy from behavior on earth, it was a matter of being forcibly issued a business card and whether to accept it or not.
As Xia Duo walked, he took out the spell book and used one of the blank inner pages to carry the magic mark. This was different from using a communication instrument, but it was more formal and safer.
After accepting the magic mark, Lord Hawke's voice never appeared again, and Sha Duo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
…
From the Cormanso Embassy to the Offa Union, you just cross the Offa Square.
As soon as he returned to the Arcane Federation and out of the possible sight of Lord Hawke, Shado immediately took out the page containing Lord Hawke's magic mark from the spell book and put it into his personal space.
He himself knows that many spells that locate magic marks and cast them with the help of magic marks are not absolutely safe when stored in spell books.
It is safer to put it in the portable space. Once in the portable space, even if the opponent jumps out of the magic mark, it can be destroyed easily.
Leaving this magic mark may be useful in the future, whether it is the "common interests" mentioned by Lord Hawke, or using this magic mark to plan against the other party, it is always a way.
Iolum's study.
When he came here again, Shado's mood was completely different from before. Although he was not sure if Iolum was asking him to find out more details at the Seven Towers' request because the Seven Towers were preparing to take the blame, he still had to come over.
"Teacher, what other details does Qita want to know?"
"In front of you last night, none of them were willing to speak, but afterwards they found me as the villain!"
Iolum shook his head slightly, showed a wry smile, and sold the Seven Towers without hesitation. Then he looked solemnly, looked directly at Xia Duo, and said solemnly:
"I believe this matter has nothing to do with you, but here, I still have to ask, and this is the real request of the Seven Towers, and I cannot refuse."
"Teacher, please ask!"
Shado immediately paid full attention. He noticed that there was a strange ornament on Iolum's desk that he had not seen before.
This thing is a bit like a hairspring in a watch, but it is divided into multiple layers. As the two talked, these extremely thin spiral structures, suspected to be composed of mithril, kept vibrating.
At the same time, this strangely shaped tabletop ornament also exudes a bright magical aura, and this aura is constantly vibrating with the spiral structure of the main body of the ornament.
Shado thought thoughtfully. If he was just sensitive to sounds and could respond to sounds, he would not suddenly appear on Iolum's desk. Maybe it was related to this inquiry.
At this moment, Iolum’s problem came——
"Are you sure you weren't involved in any conspiracy related to Cliff's death?"
