Wizard From Afar

In the dark dungeon, a mixed sigh came from behind the wall.

"Really...I don't know where to start." Behind the wall, the youngster took a swig of soju, and breathed out like a tongue:

Loren remained silent, body The grilled meat and bread next to it have gradually become cold.

"By the way, just start from the day we set off-the rangers who went to the north to patrol have not returned after one month after the scheduled period, so His Royal Highness Connold sent a search team to investigate the situation. "

"This kind of thing is not very common in Duanjieshan, but also not; now I think back then I should feel something wrong."

The youngster behind the wall The voice was very calm, as if narrating another person's story: "In order to ensure that there is nothing wrong, the entire search team has nearly a hundred rangers, all of which are veterans from Legion, and I am Captain's adjutant."

"We traveled north for ten days, during which we accidentally ran into two blizzards. We didn’t find the ranger until we crossed the Valley of Blood Skeletons. So our Captain, a southerner came Knight’s church began to hesitate."

"Crossing the Valley of Blood Skeletons means crossing the natural boundary between the empire and the north, and will also be far away from the protection of the mountain range and fortresses of Broken Boundary Mountain-in the words of the church. , We just stepped into the gate of hell with half our feet!"

"So, I chose a compromise-the main force of the search team was stationed on the hillside near the valley of blood skeletons, and then Send out rangers in batches to search around, and at the same time ask for help from the nearest outpost, let them find it together."

Loren slightly nodded, this is indeed a very wise judgment. It is very dangerous to step into an area that you don't understand. A small number of elite troops should always be vigilant and prepared to seek out the enemy. When he himself expedition to Yongyelin in the ancient wood forest, he used similar tactics.

"We searched in the vicinity for seven days, and more than half of the supplies we carried had been consumed, but we didn’t even find traces of the ranger—to be honest, if it weren’t for the Captain of the Church Knight, he would always insist , We have already given up, and we are going to report him missing!"

Speaking of here, the youngster suddenly paused and drank a mouthful of hot shochu:

"and then …It’s the eighth day."

Loren slowly tightened his nerves, concentrated attention completely.

"On the eighth day, a veteran from Lothair named Mandalay Grantham suddenly told me that he had found some very old traces-not like a few days , But left a long time ago, a very old gut path, I don’t know where it leads."

Mandalay Grantham, Loren who heard the name immediately noticed something—— The one executed as a deserter, Isaac's father.

"If it is the usual, I will not pay attention to this kind of information at all. There are too many secrets known to the people in North Fang Buwei, but this time is different." Youngster said softly, "It's there. On the small road, we actually found the traces left by the fortress rangers."

"The most important thing is that those traces and signs...it seems to have been deliberately left behind."

p>

"Then the Knight Captain of the church immediately determined that this was the'will of the Holy Cross'. The ranger must have discovered some very important information before returning, and deliberately left a clue to let us go. Look for him-it sounds a lot like that, right?"

"The most interesting thing is that he didn't notice a lot of wrong details from beginning to end, such as the traces are too old or too old. Remote roads-and most importantly, the nearest guard tower of the Broken Boundary Mountain Fortress is a day away. Why is the Ranger stupid to have to go alone?"

" …That clue is not from the Rangers?" Loren asked rhetorically.

"No, we later found a Broken Sword on that road. It was indeed a Ranger thing." The youngster's voice was somewhat mocking:

"It's just , That Broken Sword has a history of at least a hundred years-our group of fools, just like this is the mark left by a senior who hit the Grand Canal more than a hundred years ago, and the Road of No Return!"

The black hair wizard suddenly noticed something wrong.

"Wait! You just said a hundred years ago, is it possible that..."

"You guessed it, Sir Loren Torino." The voice behind the wall chuckled lightly. A loud voice: "If what is expected is good, that ranger should be your ancestor, Black Duke Roland Torino."

"And the one who found this path should be Roland Torino himself!"

"Probably...this matter has nothing to do with his later rebellion, right? Of course I'm just guessing, please don't mind."

"Of course... it doesn't matter." Loren stared at the torch outside the cell in a daze, and muttered.

"In short, in the end, the church Knight Captain decided that he led the main force to return to the nearest guard tower to ask for help from the fortress of Duanjieshan; and I led a squad to search along the small intestine path to find more Clues."

The youngster coldly snorted behind the wall:

"You should be able to guess what happened later."

Although the other party can’t see it, but Black hair wizard is still subconsciously nodded.

The search team that retreated to the sentry tower immediately encountered an army of monsters that suddenly appeared. Nearly a hundred rangers and the entire sentry tower were wiped out. The squad led by this youngster was spared by leaving midway.

And the reinforcements that came later naturally discovered this situation, and then it was a matter of course-because the entire search team had no life, naturally no one could confirm the order, the reinforcements only saw When the main force was raided, they left with their supplies.

As long as an officer with normal intelligence can immediately "brain" out the youngster, he found that a large number of monster troops did not return to report but flee with their own people, which caused the search team to be completely destroyed!

But there are still some loopholes in the other party’s this remark...

"You just said that you found the way to Niederhogg—if you tell the information you found Connold, can't you prove that you are not deserters?"

"Evidence?"

The voice suddenly chuckled, then faintly opened the mouth and said:

"Your Excellency Loren Torino, although I don’t know what your identity is and why you appeared in the Fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain-but please tell me the truth about the giant dragon king city... what do you know? How much?"

"The capital of the giant dragon kingdom, hundreds of years ago before the rise of the empire, they and the giant dragon were the first to block the invasion of Evil God." Loren silently replied.

"Very well...knowing that you have surpassed a lot of idiots. The overwhelming majority imperial aristocracy only regards Niederhogg as a deceptive legend, and most of them don’t even know what the name means. What are you up to?"

Youngster sighed very complainingly: "So you should be clear that apart from bringing them to that place again, I'm basically impossible to produce any decisive evidence! even more how It’s definitely not as easy to reach Niederhogg as you think. We are almost nine deaths and still alive and we have witnessed its existence!"

"Niederhogg, The giant dragon king city, the ancient giant dragon kingdom destroyed by Evil God...these all are real ones!"

The dungeon is dead again.

"...So, have you really been there and stood outside the gate of Niederhogg?"

"No, I mean I actually saw it with my own eyes ——But we were still a long way from Niederhogg at the time. It was not that easy to get there."

The youngster sighed faintly and drank the last sip of the flask. "It's a lonely city towering on a cliff, like a cascading mountain tower-thinking of there, unless you can fly over."

"Fly over..." The black hair wizard slowly The corners of the mouth were raised slowly: "It's not impossible!"

"What do you mean?"

"It means, if I can find a way to regain your freedom, are you sure Find that place again?" Loren said with a faint smile softly, with a bit of temptation in his voice.

"Can you convince His Highness Connold not to hang me?!"

Youngster's voice is even more surprising than before, Loren can even hear him Trembling: "Loren ·Torino, you... who are you?"

"Well, keep it a secret for now." Loren's smile grew stronger and stronger, as if she was tempting a child:

"But first...you have to tell me your name first."

He now feels that his decision to "go to jail" is absolutely correct!
