When he returned to the intersection, he used magic to see the flag above his head. Previously, his attention was attracted by the person in front of the door, but he didn't expect to look up. The map obtained from a street thief had been marked many times. The meeting tower that Uriel was looking for was marked out with red ink and circled several times.
If you wait here for a few minutes, the thieves who just saved a life will most likely run into him again. This is really interesting. Uriel had no intention of letting the thief named Perrin Gray Ship go, even though he told all the true and false information, but the other two people taught him to change his mind. There was nothing good to say about the old thief. He was more damned than Perrin, but the younger one was completely unimaginable as holding a dagger or picking people's pockets. Uriel didn't know why he appeared in this small gang of thieves. .
Another mystery full of suspense. I should probably stop them and my own curiosity. It was best not to let things get too complicated at this time, but Uriel was not willing to take someone's life because of this accidental theft. The way to deal with thieves has always been to chop off the fingers, or more seriously, the wrist or part of the arm, and finally the head. If you were caught stealing from a noble, you would be hanged. Uriel was neither a noble nor a mortal. It was difficult for him to carry out any kind of punishment.
This abandoned garden is separated from the tower by a solid and reliable high wall, but the thieves seem to have found an underground secret passage. He looked at the half-cocked trap door, estimated the height of the wall, and then jumped. The magic whirled into power, lifting him fifteen feet out of thin air, over the walls of rock and steel, the lush winter trees, and the "brush" intertwined at the base of the tower. He subconsciously glanced at the ground and was startled by his height.
The stone wall rushed toward him. Uriel grabbed a protruding edge and easily climbed up the tiled roof of the side tower. These patterns are pleasing to the eye during the day, but provide a foothold for climbers at night. At this moment, the apprentice just wants to express his admiration and gratitude for the aesthetic accomplishments of the builder.
Although the wizards will most likely notice that someone has invaded the meeting tower. The defense mechanism of the Mysterious Fulcrum is different from that of ordinary people. Magic is their main method. Uriel did not expect that his only obstacle would be a stone wall that could not stop even thieves. But before they find him, he can surprise the wizards with his appearance.
The person who currently manages the wizards of the Beacon School is Lind Punabag, and Uriel has never liked his arrogance. When he was at Six Finger Castle, his cold politeness was like a sharp thorn, and his bad temper also made him more aggressive. In a sense, he has the same qualities as the Earl of Reddale from Fifetanner. When communicating with people like them, being humble, respectful and pleasant will be regarded as a sign of weakness, and this polite show of weakness will only make them Pushing the envelope. Uriel didn't want to fend off Linde's questioning and questioning. He needed to take the initiative in the conversation. Being unexpected is a good start.
The building structure of the Senate Tower is very loose, and it was not built to withstand artillery fire. The most conspicuous thing in this harbor town is the tall lighthouse of Tielong Port, followed by the church bell tower and the temporary place where the nobles discussed matters. The earl should have issued orders and passed decisions at Tide Sound Castle, but first there was the Gulf War, and then there were assassin attacks. This mortal lord was not as bold as Danelfion, and would rather seek shelter under the wings of the mysterious Fulcrum.
Uriel was a little unsure which of the two windows on the top floor belonged to Lind Punabag. Not long after the Six Finger Castle incident, he did not dare to use demonic methods... Suddenly a light came on behind a window, and the apprentice heard a strange voice complaining that the fireplace was too hot. That was probably the Earl Lord of Knight's Bay. It was said that he was a demi-human with deep sea blood.
His windows were tightly closed, and mysterious patterns were carved into the glass. To be honest, Uriel didn't recognize what was painted on it. But the apprentice could realize that he could not enter the lord's room at all. Count DeWitt Hearn was far more afraid of assassins than the high-level wizard Lind. For a moment he wanted to laugh, but suddenly he felt that the other party's vigilance was justified. I am a mythical creature, but nobles are mostly mere mortals. Throughout Knight's Bay there are hundreds of different versions of rumors about the cause of the war, but the common parts include a count, an elven assassin, and a beautiful alien woman. The wanted poster said that the assassin was also a mysterious creature from Gaohuan.
The wizard had better not be in the room, Uriel thought, otherwise I would have to go around to the corridor. Generally, mysterious creatures do not need to be guarded in front of the door. This is something he learned from the experience of adventurers. The presence of guards will paralyze the people in the room. They are not nobles. Mysterious creatures need to be protected by people weaker than themselves. But sometimes, in order to show their status, the mysterious fulcrum of the royal court system like the fog elves will pay special attention to these details.
The glass was very clean. Uriel easily jumped off the window sill, but he did not expect that bay towns like Beacon Town still had the habit of spreading vanilla on the floor. I didn't mean to do this. He pulled his shoes back awkwardly. Traces of dirt polluted the ground, and the damp air gave the withered plants a musty smell. If the wizard who happened to open the door encountered an uninvited guest from the tower cleaning his room, Lind would probably be surprised, but the effect would be exactly the opposite. The apprentice had no choice but to turn his head and pretend not to see it. It seemed that I had to ask Joey for advice on how to deal with the dilemma without changing his expression.
Whatever interior decoration styles in the north of the kingdom differed from those in the south, this bedroom no longer reflects them. The wizard changed its original furnishings beyond recognition, leaving only the four walls and ceiling. Bottles and cans are everywhere here, and a pinewood bed is huddled in the corner like an overturned cabinet; countless messy patterns cover the floor, and the lights and two candlesticks work together to illuminate it, but it still looks dark.
Uriel looked around the wizard's room as he found a chair. It seems that the layout here is itself a protective measure. Even if his fire does not feel any mysterious awakening, the illusion of falling into a trap is unstoppable. There's a certain pattern to the chaos in this hellish place that makes people feel uncomfortable. The thief will stay away, even the servant who cleans the room...the mysterious creature may not need servants.
As he sat in his chair, something on the table caught his attention. First of all, there is only this one thing on its base, and it itself has no use in terms of appearance. The apprentice estimated that the size of the table was enough for him to lie on it, and by comparing the height, the thing seemed a little flat. Its shape is the trigger for all things weird. To describe it, this thing is an angular spherical object, with translucent black crystal pillars protruding from all directions inside, radiating from the center to support the outer surface. Its color changes with the light. Once Uriel does not block the candlelight, the outer layer becomes transparent, making everything inside visible.
Secondly, its existence is closely related to mystery. Uriel could sense a large amount of magic building up around him. This large object with a diameter of more than two feet can hide a huddled adult, but at the moment it is only filled with black crystal pillars and ethereal light. And somehow this feeling didn't feel foreign to him. How the hell did I see it after worrying about the floor, looking at the decor, and the bed?
The faceted ball shrank suddenly.
Uriel couldn't help but lean back and almost overturned the chair. But nothing happens, except the magic in the air - they thin for that moment, then regain pressure as they relax. He held his chest, wondering if he was in the body of some kind of monster. This thing is alive! The apprentice gritted his teeth, fearing that he would scream. He couldn't ignore the throb like a heartbeat. Is this a mysterious creature?
One day, my curiosity will get me into trouble. Uriel thought this, but couldn't help but want to pull out the tip of the short knife and touch it. The magic power is ready to go out, not the power of destruction, but the magic to prepare for escape - anyway, he can blame this unsuccessful infiltration on the head of the thieves, and then knock on the door of the parliament tower openly. The mystery of Gao Huan is such that even Lind Punabag cannot detect his magic.
However, as soon as he left the chair, he lost sight of the target.
The existence of this thing was probably related to the chair, so Uriel was forced to sit back. The risk of trying suddenly increased, but the wizard hadn't come back yet... But it might be possible if he hesitated any longer. He quickly touched a narrow square wall. There was silence in the room, and it didn't respond.
Uriel didn't think so. He jumped up from his chair, his face as pale as the moonlight. In his horrified eyes, the thing stirred again. The smell of blood rose from his stomach to his throat. The apprentice turned his head and threw himself at the window sill, covered in cold sweat. A long, gushing river of blood washed across the floor, submerging everything beneath the thick, crimson water. It's a dream. When did he dream?
When he struggled to open his eyes, the room was still a room, and the orb shrank again. Uriel pushed the knife back into its leather sheath and approached the table again. He remembered that he was in a "vision" dream, which happened after he separated from Joey. For the first time, he was so clearly aware that he was in a possibility of the future, and this was obviously more than just a change brought about by the increase in mystery. Uriel couldn't figure out its origin at first, but now he has a guess.
…
As soon as I let go of my worries about witches, Lynde Punabag thought, I just feel like I've escaped. That's not how it should be. He looked at the tower apprentice standing by the window, and the bitterness in his heart was worse than fear. To declare my guilt? Or are you preparing to use this as a blackmail? Anyway, he's done.
Weakly praying for forgiveness might lead to salvation, but Lind's pride did not allow him to surrender first. "I'm not in the habit of inviting guests to visit my bedroom."
The ring-level apprentice had a bad expression on his face, "I am not your guest now, Mr. Punabag." His eyes were firmly fixed on Lind, "As the envoy of Croita's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I am going to Silence The school puts forward reasonable opinions on various violations of the treaty committed by Eastman, a dependent country." He paused for a moment. "I come on behalf of my mentor."
