return to edgar

Lorelei's suggestion helped Link a lot, making him determined to use visualization as his fighting style.

In addition, Lorelai also taught Link how to prevent others from discovering Malik's holy symbol without wearing gloves-spell. Covering, covering the holy object with a layer of spiritual power.

After her reminder, Link remembered that Malik could know his every move through the holy object.If he reveals his whereabouts to the believers... tsk~ What a cunning and difficult guy.

In this way, it can prevent Malik's followers from guessing his relationship with the God of Shadow through the holy emblem, and prevent Malik from spying on his every move through the holy emblem, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.It's just... Will Malik let me get away so easily?

Just as Link predicted, although the God of Shadow cannot know the communication between him and Lorelei, he can feel the ignore technique applied to the sacred object.

Lord Violet once again acted as a mediator. The centurion was doing his daily morning exercises in the atrium. When he saw Earl Senior who was supposed to be asleep, running barefoot in his thin pajamas, he thought he had fallen victim to something. He hurriedly followed behind, becoming more and more suspicious as he walked.

This is clearly the path to the Adventurer's Guild. Even if he thinks of something urgent, with the earl's character, he will not come out dressed like this at this time.

"grown ups?"

Servis, who was walking swiftly in front, didn't seem to hear Fern's call.

"count!"

There was still no reply, the centurion clenched the hilt of his sword, and followed quickly. Just as he was about to touch Servis's back, Servis, who had been turning his back to him, turned around abruptly.Fern stopped immediately, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

It wasn't the familiar sly gaze, but the eyes that seemed to be looking at ants forcibly stopped him, his feet seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't take another step.Even breath is held.

Fern was sure that was not the Earl he knew.

Servis turned and walked forward, knocking on the union gate not far away.

Early in the morning, who is it?

Yoda, who was so excited that he didn't sleep the whole time, put down his magic bow, but he didn't expect that the first guest to come to the door was actually the Santo.

Pushing away the mortals who blocked the way, Malik who was possessed by Servis rushed directly into the innermost warehouse.Orlando, who was resting on the chair, was thrown out directly.

Orlando, who was awakened, used the agility of the elves to avoid falling into the mud. He was surprised to find that it was Servis, the city lord, who threw him out of the warehouse.Yoda, who turned his head in a daze and was almost pushed, also looked puzzled, and then the centurion walked in with a serious face, asking him what happened, his mouth was as tight as Bengbu, and he couldn't pry anything out .Orlando and Yoda didn't ask any more questions.

Fern's eyes were fixed on the closed warehouse door, and his heart was already in a mess.

The last time Malik used Servez's body to talk to Link, although Fern was present.But he doesn't remember what happened at all. This time it happened suddenly, and Malik rushed to find Link in a rage, before he could hypnotize Fern.

Link didn't expect Malik to react so quickly.He didn't even use dreams and oracles, but actually adopted a more direct and energy-intensive method.

[It means that he really cares about this alliance. Malik has a strong desire to control and wants to get involved in everything. ] Lorelai is too aware of the temperament of this former ally, 【If you don't want to go to great lengths to pretend that your identity is exposed.You have to negotiate terms with him. 】

Facing the temporary container with an angry face, Link's mind was full of how to negotiate with Malik.It is best not to let him not disclose his whereabouts.

"Understanding your words and deeds through the holy emblem is my bottom line. If I can't even do this, I really have to reconsider our alliance." Malik said with a gloomy face.

"Whether you like to watch movies or want to spy on me, but you must not disclose my whereabouts in any way. This is also my bottom line."

"That's it?" Malik didn't expect Link to answer himself like that.Could it be that the concealment technique is just a cover, and the real purpose is to prohibit the false identity and whereabouts that he revealed?

"Otherwise, what do you think will happen?"

"I've made a promise!"

"Yes, you promised not to hold back, but you did not promise to disclose my whereabouts, including the false identity I am going to pretend, to believers or other gods."

Nervous laughter echoed in the warehouse, but this time Malik didn't get angry, he stared at Link, his eyes were surprisingly bright, like a child who found some novel toy.

"Although your disrespect makes me very angry, but... From another perspective, you are indeed an interesting toy. I promise you, don't let me down. Lorelei, teach him the skill of ignoring, I know you're here." After speaking, Servis fell limply to the ground.Compared with other mediums, the nobleman's physique is much worse, and this possession made his already unhealthy complexion even paler.

Link stepped forward to help Servis, who was limp, onto the chair, and after performing natural healing, Servis, who had recovered, opened his mouth in surprise when he saw Link.

"Is this...the union?"

Opening the door, the centurion who couldn't wait rushed in.

"Fern, what's going on? How did I come here?"

You have finally returned to normal, Fern heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to answer when his behavior suddenly became dull and he opened his mouth. After thinking for a long time, he didn't think about what he was going to say just now.

Malik's ability began to take effect, Servis looked dull, got up and walked out by himself, Fern followed behind him step by step, closing the door like Yoda who was being manipulated, and picked up the magic bow on the table again to fiddle with.

This episode that happened at dawn ended just like that. Blessed by the goddess Afuja, Orlando was not affected by Malik's power. He shook his drowsy head and asked, "What happened just now?"

"A trivial matter." Link did not intend to tell Orlando about the holy emblem. Afuja and Malik are both opposing camps and old enemies. Letting him know that he and the God of Shadows are a temporary alliance will only increase necessary trouble.

Hearing that Link didn't want to say anything, Orlando didn't investigate too much, and left on the pretext of being hungry.

【is this okay?Sooner or later a rift will arise. 】Lorelai thinks it is inappropriate for Link to do so.

【Should I tell him the truth?No matter how open-minded the character is, he cannot resist the orders of the gods. 】Link insisted that not telling Orlando was the best solution, 【By the way, what does it mean that Malik asked you to teach me the ignore technique before he left? 】

[Similar to the concealment technique, but it is mandatory to imply that everyone ignores your right index finger. 】

Since Malik's surveillance cannot be prevented, Link thinks that it is enough to prevent being recognized by the followers of the God of Shadows.After he spent some more time learning the technique of ignoring from Lorelai, it was already bright outside the house, and the sounds of pedestrians walking and talking could be heard on the street.

Feeling a little hungry, just as Link was about to go out for breakfast, the Communication Stone that he had always carried with him vibrated slightly at this moment.

The message stone sent by Gonzales, could it be that something happened to Watch Castle?

"Gonzalez?"

Putting the communication stone close to his ear, he clearly heard the voice from another stone.

"It's me." It was indeed Gonzalez's voice.

"Did something happen over there at Watchfort?"

"Why, can't I contact you if I have nothing to do?"

The slightly brisk laughter indicated that the owner of the voice was in a good mood, and Link was also relieved.

"Thanks to you, many people volunteered to join Fort Watch, which was worried about not recruiting enough soldiers. Moreover, Abigail has become more honest and law-abiding because of Claire's demotion."

The main purpose of Gonzalez contacting Link this time is to express his gratitude, and to ask about his current situation and future plans by the way.

Considering that walls have ears, using a communication stone may not be able to keep secrets. Link did not tell Gonzales that he was going to Kronberg next, but only said that he would go around and secretly visit the traitors who were secretly collaborating with the undead.

"I heard you joined the Adventurer's Guild?"

"Well, that's right."

"Why? The guild has fallen. You don't need to follow the rules to join like in the illusion. If you want information, just go to the spider web." Gonzalez thought Link didn't know that the guild had fallen, and reminded him.

"Intelligence is only part of the reason. Adventurers are the only neutral faction in all human guilds. Besides, I have already negotiated with President Bridge, on the condition that I make magic props for them, and exchange my share for In this way, there is no need to worry about conflicts with nobles in other territories and the supply will be cut off."

Gonzales was taken aback by Link's answer, and hurriedly shied away, worried that Zhu would deprive Link of his qualifications.

"Don't worry, I have my own measure." Link was very relieved to get his friend's concern, and asked about the situation of the undead on the border.

"No big moves, only a small group of low-level undead wandering around. But the sea of ​​​​storms has retreated more than 100 gallons, oh~ this word is Edgar's unit of length, which is equivalent to a kilometer in the metric system of the earth." Gonzal Reis doesn't know what the Undead Empire is planning. In short, the border has been calm for more than a month, and Fort Watch has been able to recuperate and recover.

Link told him to protect himself, not to fight recklessly with the undead, but to continue Alex's guerrilla warfare mode.

"Knowing that you joined the guild as a craftsman, Girard clamored for me to ask you for the magic item promised to him." After chatting about some irrelevant topics, Gonzalez suddenly mentioned to Link Girard, and the magic props that Link had promised.

"I really forgot if you didn't mention it. Well, I'll ask the trade union to entrust the caravan to deliver it to him." After the not-so-short call, Link felt quite a headache. What should he do for that guy?

Staff?robe?Or... accessories?

After much deliberation, Link finally decided to make a once-and-for-all wonder for Girard—a weapon. (To be continued..)
