    After stepping out of the door of the small hotel, Sharp's figure shattered like a bubble and disappeared into the thick night. Old Green did not look back and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you ready to accept his mission?"

    "Whether we accept it in the end or not, the most important issue at the moment is that it is no longer safe here and we must move immediately." Douglas looked serious.

    Fernando also woke up with a start and muttered: "It is up to those old men to decide whether to accept this mission or not. All we can do is leave here, and we will have to establish another communication transfer place later."

    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 big nobles represented by Sharp, it will not expose the communication relay station that is very important to the entire organization.  In their sight, if communication is needed, it is better to maintain a smaller and one-way channel, such as Old Green to shoulder this task.

    In this kind of matter, being careless will only mean that the organization is not far from destruction!

    Then, Fernando was worried that the wall had ears and said to Douglas and Old Green through a telepathic connection: "See you at the underwater ruins of Lake Lamorag."

    "Okay, you guys set off first. I have to leave some secret notes to warn the mages who come during this period." 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.  The home he had worked so hard to manage for decades had to move away.

    Fernando sneered: "Just throw this shabby place away. What's there to regret?"

    "Actually, this is a 'family business' that my great-grandfather started running." Old Green said in a calm tone, without any anger, as if he was telling someone else's business.

    Fernando was stunned 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 be saved, you are a knight of the sky.  , has good relations with many nobles, which may come in handy in the future, but there won¡¯t be so many magicians here anymore"

    He rambled on for a long time.

    "Get out of here, you bad-tempered boy! I don't need your sympathy!" Old Green suddenly swore, interrupting Fernando's words.

    Fernando¡¯s face turned slightly red and he snorted: ¡°I sympathize with the black-clawed dog, but I won¡¯t sympathize with you, an old man who is half-lying in the cemetery!¡±

    After saying that, he turned around and left.

    Old Green raised his chin, motioning for Douglas to follow him, and at the same time chuckled: "Don't necromancers often say that lying in the cemetery is the beginning of life?"

    ¡°What do those rotting corpses full of stinking odor know about life?¡± Fernando said without looking back.

    "You brat, you're not even a fraction of my age, do you know what life is?" Old Green "showed no weakness."

    In Douglas¡¯ slightly helpless eyes, the two of them continued to quarrel until Fernando walked out of the door and blended into the night.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Under the starlight, the lakes are shining brightly, with rippling waves, peaceful and quiet, and there are many such lakes, like scattered pearls, scattered on the earth, connected into a string of dreamy necklaces.

    "It is indeed the 'Land of a Thousand Lakes'" Douglas, floating on the lake, said with admiration, and took a deep breath of fresh air with a light smell of fresh water.

    Fernando was a little surprised and said: "Do you know the 'Land of Thousand Lakes'?"

    "Of course, its reputation has spread to Antiphore with the coming and going of magicians." Douglas chuckled.

    "What's so good about this" Fernando muttered in a low voice without any aesthetic taste, and then said, "This is Lake Lamorag, please follow me."

    Douglas looked at the lake and found that it was not big. Some people believed it was a giant puddle, but could such a small lake have underwater ruins?

    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 and explained in the spiritual connection: "I don't know which idiot magician built it. Maybe he wanted to connect the entire Land of Thousand Lakes. However, because of his idiot,  This ruin has not been discovered, and the church cannot imagine that there are ruins under such a small lake with no resources."

    There is a small cave hidden under a huge rock. It does not look like it was opened for humans, but rather like the nest of some aquatic creatures.

    Fernando directly vaporized the form and got in. Douglas did not hesitate and followed suit.

      After passing through the winding and narrow "pipe", Douglas found himself in a palace. Many magicians were coming and going inside, and he was quite alert to their arrival. However, after seeing Fernando's familiar face,  After looking handsome, they all turned their heads and were busy with their own affairs, such as exchanging alchemy materials and magic books, and 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" were much more vigilant than the Inquisition, because they were not vigilant enough.  , are all dead, or have "learned" "vigilance" at a high price.

    "This place feels a bit like a gathering place for magicians" Douglas said with a sigh of relief.

    "Douglas, Fernando, you are here just in time. The president knows what happened just now and asks you to go see him." Roland, who had escaped early under the cover of Fernando, ran over.

    "This is the headquarters of the union?" Douglas was a little surprised, Fernando hadn't mentioned it before.

    Fernando also felt strange: "The president is here?"

    "Yeah." Roland nodded and looked Fernando up and down, "It's good that you're fine. The president was planning to meet Douglas here and hold a core meeting, but something happened at the Grilled Fish Hotel"

    It seems that they are wary of me and haven't let me know the location of the headquarters so quickly Douglas thought to himself, but he never dwelled on such small issues and nodded generously: "Roland, please take us to see Mr. President.  .¡±

    "The idiot mission they gave" Fernando followed Douglas and cursed quickly.

    After passing through a corridor paved with stone bricks, a hall full of strange patterns appeared at the end. A vigorous old man with white beard and hair strode out to greet him. He said with a smile: "Welcome to join our magician union."  Guild, Douglas, you are an extremely outstanding magician, and your research on curves and irregular shapes is ahead of us. If I have the opportunity, I hope to ask you for advice."

    Douglas was slightly startled. Arnold, the president of the United Magician Union, also knew that he was studying "flow numbers"?

    "Liu Shu" was the initial name he gave to the mathematical content he studied, but he increasingly felt that this name was not appropriate and planned to change it.

    Douglas's surprise did not last long, and he soon realized that his exchanges with Fernando in the past few days had probably been watched by Arnold. He even decided to hold the core meeting a few days later, perhaps in order to have time to "observe"  "Own.

    Being able to become the leader of a relatively large magic organization is indeed not easy!

    ¡°The research of many great magicians in the past has inspired me.¡± Douglas said humbly.

    Arnold had few wrinkles and a rosy face. He pointed at Douglas and smiled: "Don't be modest. If you can succeed in research, the difficulty of learning and constructing all magic will be greatly reduced. This will bring us a better future."  thing! Okay, let's not discuss this today, but mainly talk about the tasks given by the 'Dark Blue Demon'. By the way, this is Rigg, you have seen it, these are Ramon and Veronica, they are all from the union.  Vice president."

    He introduced the people who came with him, including Rig, who had many wrinkles and a hooked nose, Ramon, who was tall and thin with a horse face, and Ramon, who had blond hair pulled up high and green eyes like gems.  Veronica, they all wear typical Magic Empire robes, gloomy and deep.

    After Douglas said hello one by one, he smiled at a young man with brown hair next to Arnold: "Garros, long time no see."

    The young man¡¯s hair was neatly parted to both sides, and his high collar reached his head. He had a cynical smile on his face: ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect you to be able to raid the tribunal. This is Fernando¡¯s style.¡±

    He is Garros who introduced Douglas to the Magician United Union, a friend of Fernando and Roland, a student of Arnold, and a sixth-ring high-level mage.

    "Humph, are you envious?" Fernando said he was not at a disadvantage at all.

    Garros laughed, looked at his toes with black eyes, and did not answer, because the president, Anold, began to ask: "What do you think of the task entrusted by the 'Dark Blue Demon'?"

    Roland, who led the way, quietly exited the palace and closed the door.

    Rige said with a gloomy face: "He just used this mission to warn us, there is no need to dwell on this issue."

    "But what if we can really complete it? Will he really take us seriously and cooperate with us initially?" Ramon had a long face and objected to Rigg's opinion.

     "First of all, we must be able to complete it!" Rigg and Veronica said at the same time, the sentences were different, but the meaning was the same.

    The scene suddenly became quiet. Even Fernando did not dare to boast that Alfonso was not difficult to kill. After all, the union was currently being watched by the "Heart of Time" Ctonia.

    Arnold seemed to be very satisfied with the situation. The smile on his face remained unchanged, and he coughed twice and said, "It's not like we have no chance to complete this task."

    "President, don't be joking!" Rigg said seriously.

    "It is indeed impossible to rely solely on our own strength, but what if other magic organizations cooperate? They have not received the attention of the 'Heart of Time'." Arnold seemed to have a good temper and smiled, and then everyone spoke  He continued, "I have been busy contacting other magic organizations during this period, and I have achieved certain results. I have invited many magic organizations to 'Arlinge' to discuss cooperation issues, so I will  Today's meeting is scheduled here, not at headquarters, because 'Arlinge' is also near Rentat."

    He finally explained why he didn¡¯t take Douglas to the headquarters.

    "President, are you sure you can convince 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 joined forces with the deputy leader 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.  Countering the church is not a strategy that only we can come up with."

    ¡°When did we cooperate with the ¡®Dark Blue Demon¡¯?¡± Even Ramon expressed confusion this time.

    Arnold chuckled and said: "After joining other organizations to complete the task of assassinating Alfonso, he should value our strength."

    Fernando twitched the corners of his mouth, the president is so treacherous!

    ¡°Which organizations are going to ¡®Aringe¡¯ this time?¡± Rigg thought for a while, and asked cautiously without dwelling on the mission.

    Arnold nodded: "Don't worry, the organizations I invited are all weaker than us, not legendary organizations like 'Palmeira's Cabin', 'Death Scythe' and 'Dance of Confusion'. Among them  It is worth noting that there are one or two nine-ring mages in the 'Red Eye', 'Soul Supreme', 'Shadow Singer' and 'Tower of Destroyer', and there are more than ten or twenty ordinary organizations without nine-ring mages.  .¡±

    "When the time comes, it will be me, Douglas and Fernando who will participate." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
