God's Chosen Archmage

Chapter 26 The Strange Event in the Castle
"boom--!"

A flash of fire flashed through the window.It was the magic circle that Ed placed there just now, which was touched.

Ed received his work in a busy and unhurried manner, and ran to the window to take a closer look.

Outside the window, there is no one.Instead, a few patrolling guards hurried over from a distance with torches.

Is someone going to steal something from me?Ed was taken aback.He didn't care about those soldiers either, he turned around to look at the props he had slumped on the bed and at the props he had spread out on the bed.

No less.

Ed breathed a sigh of relief, but he slandered Nalari more than once in his heart. This guy is so stingy that he doesn't even want his face!Fortunately, be careful, otherwise it is really dangerous.

Putting away his things, Ed simply continued to strengthen the defensive circle.Since the other party is so shameless, why not!Don't worry about destroying the castle. Whatever defensive formation he has mastered is powerful, he will arrange it!
Ed was busy when there was a knock on the door outside.

Opening the door, it was Avril Lavigne, a lady with a rough voice, standing outside the door.

"Brother Ed, can people call you that?" This little girl's elegant aristocratic demeanor is really like a born noble child.Although the little girl was only wearing a pajamas, there were still some tears on her face.

"It's you? What are you doing in my room so late?" Eddie said in a rather unkind tone.

"Ahhh...Brother Ed, can someone sleep with you? The house is so messy, and my father scolded me again..."

"Okay, okay! Then come in!" Ed shouted as if he couldn't bear it. "By the way, have you brought the exercises I gave you?"

"All the magic props are brought with them."

"Well, my brother will teach you now how to meditate to the maximum extent possible."

The two of them teach one and learn the other, but they are very serious.With the help of the water elemental heart, Avril Lavigne finally entered the emptiness state of deep meditation.

Ed listened carefully, and it seemed that the outside gradually became quieter.He simply sat down cross-legged again.The invisibility technique may not be very effective, but the feeling of deep meditation is really good.In order to be able to perceive the various magical powers in his body more clearly, he is absolutely willing to raise the realm of this magic...

※※※

It was only slightly bright outside, and the reception hall of the castle was crowded with people.Everyone is there.Although the guests invited by Larry did not leave yesterday, the number of people in the hall at this time is indeed a little small.

"Everyone is here? Then let's start." The person who spoke was a tall man.Although the clothes on his body looked a little messy, the guy still had a solemn expression on his face.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Beisler, the guard of Piggy Town, and I can barely be considered a low-level swordsman (fifth-level warrior)..."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Since such a big thing happened in the castle, why don't you let us leave!"

A sharp-billed monkey-cheeked magician said arrogantly.This guy is a low-level earth magician. Although he has always been arrogant and annoying, he expressed the aspirations of everyone present.

No one knows what happened last night.But the fact that there are more than a dozen magicians and students in the castle, including the city lord Larry Will, who can't see anyone dead or dead, makes everyone who wakes up from his bed feel horrified.

Beisler narrowed his eyes, and said forcefully: "Because many of us have disappeared, everyone here can't leave until we find out the truth of the matter."

"Without the authorization of the Magic Guild, you dare to detain the magician? Who gave you the courage?"

Beisler smiled coldly.He said: "Magic Guild, of course I respect it. However, a lord of a town disappeared for no reason, and no one can say anything about this incident! I also believe that everyone sitting here has no reason to hurt those missing persons. Don't be impatient, Mage."

After this hard and soft attack, the hall was suddenly dead silent.

Beisler smiled coldly, but his eyes flicked across everyone's face: "Now, let's talk about what you have been doing from eight o'clock last night until now... Let's start with this mage."

The man was taken aback, but answered honestly: "What can you do at night? Go to sleep! There are no pretty girls in this castle..."

"Who can prove it?"

"No one can prove it!" The man said angrily. "Can you prove where you were last night?"

"I was in the town yesterday to do what you failed to do. I was not in the castle. I hurried back early this morning."

The two confronted each other, but Ed became more and more impatient as he listened.This Baisler seemed upright, but he didn't make any achievements other than picking himself clean!

His disdainful expression naturally fell into the eyes of Nabaisler. "Little mage, who brought you here? What were you doing last night?"

"I came here by myself, and I was meditating last night. As for the witness, the city lord's daughter is with me...Mr. Beissler, do you want to know the details?"

Baisler's face brightened immediately.

It is true that the ethics of this world cannot restrain nobles, but that generally refers to men.A girl as young as Avril... not only Beisler, but also everyone else misunderstood.

Beisler was a little embarrassed when Ed made such a fuss.Soon he remembered something again, and shouted forcefully again: "Okay, since this little mage is fine, the others must also explain what happened last night."

Everyone immediately yelled and cursed, but they couldn't help it. In the face of Beisler's powerful force, everything was nothing.

After tossing for a long time, everyone was sent back to the guest room.Back in his room, Ed was still thinking about what happened just now, he didn't know what everyone was thinking, the more he thought about that anticlimactic Bissler, the more he felt suspicious!
At this moment, that Avril suddenly broke into his room in a hurry, and when she saw Ed, she couldn't help but threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.

"You scoundrel, scoundrel! Why did you tell everyone that I was in your room yesterday? Huh, daddy is gone, people are afraid..."

Avril was crying so hard, Ed had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart and comfort Avril carefully.

With great difficulty, the precocious little girl finally stopped crying.Ed leaned on her shoulder, and said softly: "Okay, the big deal is that I will be responsible for you. By the way, your father is missing, have you found any clues?"

"No, I was with you last night, how can I have time to meet other people?"

"It's not for you to see those magicians... What do you think of that Baisler? Did he really go out yesterday?"

"It's true." Avril sat on Ed's lap and played with her fingers. "He had a big fight with his father yesterday, so he left in a fit of anger."

Ed frowned, this was not the answer he wanted. "And what about the rest of your family? Anything special?"

Avril shook her cute head and said: "No really, everything is normal. Huh, these are all made by the enshrined father who invited me back. I want this one today and another one tomorrow. My father has always been frugal (her Eyes) but emptied my treasury for him. And said I have some whole magical white-green compound spirit in me... What the hell is White Spirit?"

"It's a white-green complex (a spiritual network composed of two kinds of magical spiritual channels, white and green) spiritual channel!" Ed interfaced.

He figured it out!To be able to rob so many people silently must be insiders of the castle.No matter what tricks that Larry is playing, this is also inseparable from that mysterious offering!

"Then do you know where the offering is now?"

"I don't know. He left the castle at the beginning of this month. Dad still expects him to call people magic."

Ed is gone.Anyway, he couldn't leave now, so he simply took out another secondary spirit channel to stimulate Amber, and continued to teach Avril Lavigne the knowledge of meditation.There have been quite a few scandals between them, but whether it is Ed or Avril, what is really interested is the magic itself.

The two little people spend their days meditating in their rooms, not caring what happens in the castle.And that Beisler seemed to be crazy!
During the day, he led his men around the castle; at night, he didn't relax for a moment!Thanks to him, for five consecutive days, people disappeared in the castle almost every day.At first, the missing people were all magicians invited by Larry.After that, even the guards and servants in the castle began to enter the list of missing persons.

Everyone was frightened, and began to try to escape from the mad dog-like Beissler.

But even if some of them managed to escape Beisler, once they got out of the castle, they would also disappear from the world!
An indescribably terrifying cloud enveloped the hearts of everyone in the castle.Everyone hid in their respective rooms and dared not go out all day, for fear that they would disappear for no reason.

It was almost noon, and the entire castle was dead silent, and even the usually bustling kitchen became deserted.Around twelve o'clock, Ed came to the deserted kitchen alone.

He came here looking for food.

Strange to say, since he discovered that someone had triggered his defensive circle that night, he has never been attacked again. It can be said that if he hadn't been worried about Avril, he would have left long ago.

Maybe it's to entertain these magicians, there are really a lot of good food in the kitchen.Pig meat jerky, first-level warcraft water arrow rabbit jerky, roasted second-level fire-tailed fox legs...

Ed was busy filling his pockets with food, but suddenly felt someone behind him.He turned his head abruptly, and found that the man was the arrogant earth-type low-level magician from before.

"Hehe, the little mage Sterling also came here to get food? We are also destined!"

"It's you." Ed said calmly.This guy wanted to come over because he saw that he was fine all the time, but he couldn't protect himself, so he could be taken care of there.

Ed grabbed a rattan glass bottle and handed it to the man.

"No, I just found a good bottle of wine and I'm giving it to you."

The guy was immediately dumbfounded.But looking at Ed with a calm face, this guy also had to be cheeky and have nothing to say.

"Little Mage Sterling, I heard that you have been with the lord's daughter for the past few days, and you are blessed..."

"Does this have anything to do with you?" Ed asked impatiently.Immediately he stood up. "Nothing else, I'll go back first, please continue."
