Chapter 572 561. Message from Mount Paglos
Mrs. Marianne Christie was wearing a rose-red long dress, sitting beside Karl with a faint smile on her face, and her face became radiant under the nourishment of love. She was the most valuable widow in the city of Hailansa.
Karl kissed her fair cheek, and Mrs. Mariana smiled at Karl.
The personal maid brought a cup of milk tea, placed it on the coffee table in front of Mrs. Mariana, put another letter in front of Karl, and then stepped back.
Carl reached out to pick up the letter paper on the coffee table, and cut open the envelope with a paper opener. The letter paper inside was stamped with mimeograph of the guard battalion. Karl opened the letter, read it silently, and then passed the letter paper behind him. The maid who put the letter into a walnut box.
He picked up his teacup and took a sip before saying to Suldak:
"The news from the Thieves Union said that the Crystal Key is currently in the hands of the Black Magic Retreat. I heard that many adventure groups and mercenary groups have contacted the Black Magic Retreat, and they all want to share it. A piece of the pie, the Black Arts Priory has not given a clear response at present."
Suldak did not expect that the person who followed the young adventure group that night turned out to be a member of the Black Magic Priory.
"I heard that the crystal key has been hidden in the showroom of Bradbury Manor." Suldak said casually.
"Now there are two theories. One is that the crystal key was summoned by the mysterious magic circle on the wall. It’s just a discovery, this is simply an insult to the IQ of the rebels.” Madam Mariana said gracefully.
"Didn't the crystal key break after being taken out?" Suldak asked.
Carl spread his hands and said: "It is said that it was repaired by a senior gem artisan using jewelry fusion technology, and this information also flowed from that gem artisan."
Suldak took a deep breath. He had never heard that the broken crystal could be repaired again, but after repairing, the image in the magic crystal might be gone.
"So the magicians from the Black Magic Retreat sneaked into the city of Hailansa secretly, and they also came for the treasure of the red dragon. Maybe they have cooperated with the Dark Moon Gate organization. If that is the case, this matter is really troublesome, but They only have half a map in their hands, and it is probably not easy to find the red dragon treasure in Mount Pagros." Suldak speculated.
Karl nodded in agreement, and said: "The people from the Bena Guard Battalion and the Intelligence Agency will take a magic airship and arrive in Hailansa City this afternoon. It is said that this time there are three tyrannical second-rank experts leading the team from Bena City."
He paused and said: "This time, the Bena Magic Union also dispatched a team of magicians. So many people rushed to Hailansa City, which shows that this matter is much more serious than imagined."
"This time the magic union..."
Suldak was listening to Karl's speech, and suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, as if someone was about to pull him into a meditation state, and then it seemed that someone was calling him in his heart, and he immediately realized that this was Aphrodite's call.
The equal contract established a kind of telepathy between him and Aphrodite, and now Aphrodite is calling him.
Maybe something happened in Wall Village, he sat up straight all of a sudden, and immediately said to Karl:
"Um, it's getting late, and you still have to prepare to receive the colleagues who came from Bena City, so I will take my leave first."
Carl and Mrs. Mariana looked at each other, they were fine just now, and the topic was not finished yet...
Turning his head and looking at the grandfather clock in the living room, Karl said to Suldak: "There is still plenty of time, and Mariana has prepared a sumptuous lunch for you. Did the trip go well?"
Suldak touched his nose, thinking: It seems a bit rude for me to leave like this.
"Everything is going very well. With a letter of recommendation from Mrs. Mariana, the people there are very cooperative. The first batch of sulfur mines are already on their way to Constantinople." Suldak said to Mary Mrs. Anna nodded her thanks.
Mrs. Mariana smiled slightly, her expression very calm.
"Eh, I'm going to the bathroom first..."
Suldak rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said.
Carl was taken aback, and with a smile on his face, he waved to the maid beside him.
A maid hurried over.
Carl told her: "Take Baron Suldak to the bathroom..."
The maid gave Suldak a puzzled look, then stood outside the bathroom door.
Suldak walked into the bathroom, which was much larger than expected, including bathroom, dressing room and toilet.
The bathroom and the toilet are completely independent. Suldak walked into a compartment in the washroom, and then responded to Aphrodite's call...
Passing through the void rift, Suldak returned to the security station.
Aphrodite still looked like she couldn't wake up, and the summoning circle in the room hadn't disappeared yet.
Suldak rushed to the window, looked around Wall Village, and found that there was nothing unusual in the village, so he asked Andrew beside him, "What happened?"
Andrew sat on a chair in the corner, wrapped his hands in bandages and said to Suldak: "Captain, someone found a group of suspicious magicians in the barren land. We suspected members of the Dark Moon Gate organization, so we called you in a hurry. return."
Suldak took out a parchment map from his arms, spread it on the table and asked Andrew, "Where is it?"
Andrew looked at the map for a while, pointed to the edge of the map near Mount Pagros, and said: "Here, a group of hunters who went hunting in the mountain found it. Deep in Grosse Mountain. They moved very slowly, they should be looking for somewhere, the group of hunters followed behind, and the hunter who delivered the letter was still waiting downstairs."
"I will come back tonight, and all the team members are ready to go." Suldak thought for a while, and then said to Andrew: "Wait, and immediately send someone to the Hailansa Guard Camp and the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team Send a letter, saying that we have discovered the whereabouts of the Dark Moon Gate organization."
"Yes, Captain." Andrew readily agreed.
…
Suldak had a hearty lunch at Karl's apartment before leaving with Karl.
The two separated at the door. Suldak was going to ride back to Wall Village directly, and Karl was going to Viscount Emmett's manor. After meeting with Viscount Emmett, he went to the airport pier to receive those who came from Bena City. peers.
A caravan full of acorns is blocking the gate of the city.
When Suldak came to the gate of the city, the guards at the gate recognized Suldak and hurriedly moved the caravan to one side, asking Suldak to pass first, which made him feel for the first time how privileged nobles are. convenience.
Running all the way, Suldak rushed back to Wall Village at night.
Andrew, Samira, and Gulitham had already made preparations before departure and were waiting in the yard of the security station.
A hunter wearing a leather robe and carrying a hunting bow and spear was also standing among them. There were several deep wrinkles on his dark face, and he looked a bit wretched when he smiled and squinted his eyes. His hands were covered with calluses. When Suldak rode his horse into the yard, he quickly dodged backwards.
Suldak jumped off his horse and glanced at the hunter, suddenly feeling that he looked familiar.
Under Suldak's gaze, the hunter straightened his waist unnaturally, and instantly his body was a lot taller, almost as tall as Andrew, but his figure was a little thinner.
"Have I seen you?" Suldak asked the hunter.
"Carol, the militia battalion, reports to Lord Baron Suldak!" the hunter immediately puffed out his chest and said loudly.
Hearing what the hunter said, Suldak remembered that there was indeed such a person in the roster of the militia battalion. Suldak clearly remembered that when he first came to Wall Village, he bowed his waist , holding an arm that could not move, it was the injured arm that Surdak had the deepest impression on him.
"Um, I remember your right arm was injured..." Suldak said.
Carol quickly pulled up his sleeves, and a scar like a giant red earthworm appeared on his right arm, which looked hideous and terrifying. He grinned bitterly and explained, "Master Baron, the arm injury was caused during hunting this spring. , At that time, a group of us met a violent earth bear that had just woken up in the Pagros Mountains. This life was almost lost in the forest. At that time, I couldn’t do anything. I heard that you don’t mind being disabled, so I came to sign up with you. I have been receiving public food from you for more than three months, and recuperated at home by the way. Now I’m almost better, otherwise I can’t Let’s go to the mountain and autumn hunting with others, a group of us met a group of magicians on the edge of Pagros Mountain, and others were watching them in the forest area over there, I’m here to send you a letter.”
"How many adventure groups are there on Paglos Mountain?" Suldak asked.
"There are many. The area is actually much larger than imagined. Stretching hundreds of miles to the north is the Pagolos Mountain. There are high-level monsters entrenched in the mountain, and many of them are cunning monsters who have fought against the powerful empire. Dangerous beasts, ordinary adventure groups dare not mess with them at all, these adventure groups can only wander around the fringe areas, and will not rashly go deep..." Carol explained to Suldak.
"How many people are there in the team of magicians you saw?" Suldak asked again.
Carol replied: "A team of more than a dozen people, more than half of them are riding magic handles, and there are some strange guys who have completely wrapped themselves in sackcloth. They fly to high altitudes from time to time to determine their orientation. It’s just that I’m not very familiar with that mountain forest, so I didn’t walk fast.”
