To Burris The Spellcaster And His Family Dependent

Esther followed the advice of her mentor and brought two trusted maids to look for durians. The cook was not surprised at the "Princess finds durians herself". Yesterday Princess Tarina also came to find durians herself and was stunned. . But the durian was no longer in the kitchen. An hour ago, Prince Ranto took a few people to take away all the durians on the scene, not even the wood pineapple* that looked similar.

The prince not only took away the durian, but also temporarily summoned several merchants and fruit farmers who were in charge of delivering the fruit. The prince suspected that the durian was smeared with poison, so he wanted to interrogate the delivery person quietly. Estie vaguely felt that something was wrong. The fruits used for the banquet have been shipped into the palace from a few days ago. According to the length of the guarantee, the delivery time will be first. Even the latest batch has been delivered yesterday, otherwise it will be neglected until today’s afternoon tea time. The first guests arrived. Fruit farmers and merchants are not among the guests. They can only enter the outer wall of the Acropolis, not even the palace. Therefore, they usually return home immediately after the goods are delivered and the balance is received. The queen’s birthday is not a big holiday, and the king will not If there is any carnival celebration, it is not interesting for them to stay. It is better to hurry up and do more business.

If Prince Lanto finds the merchant who sent the durians so quickly, it means that the group has not returned to their hometown and has not left the capital after a day and a night.

These were told to Esther by a soldier. Just in time, Esther asked him to lead the way and found a place temporarily serving as an interrogation room-a row of servants behind the grape trellis in the Palace Acropolis. At this time the servants were all in their posts, and there was no one in the row house. Esther is a little confused, why should uncle interrogate the suspect in such a secluded place?

She hid in the shadow under the grape truss, and saw seven people standing outside the row house from a distance. Two heavily armed soldiers, five men dressed as civilians, while Prince Ranto and his staff were talking alone with a businessman indoors.

"Your Majesty, go back," the soldier who followed Estie whispered, "you shouldn't worry about this, and what if there is really a poisoned villain among those few people?"

Esther said: "My cousin Tarina is only thirteen years old... I'd like to see with my own eyes who is so evil who actually poisoned her."

Tarina's coma had nothing to do with poison, and Estee knew this better than anyone else. But the situation in front of her was unspeakably weird, and she always felt that there would be variables in it.

Estee was inconvenient to cast spells, and only took out a single crystal glass. This was given to her by Burris. As long as you observe the outside world through the lens, you can identify all magic items, shadows, invisible items and creatures.

At first glance, Esther was taken aback. Of course, there are no ghosts and invisible creatures, but the "merchants and fruit farmers" in front of the row houses have many enchanted weapons! The man in the small round hat has a soft sword disguised as a belt at his waist. The tall man has sleeve arrows that are as long as his forearm in his left and right sleeves. The man in boots has two daggers hidden in his boots. The blonde coachman There are several bombs hidden inside, and there is a faint glow of magic burning inside... There is only a fat little man without any traces of magic on his body, but Esther believes that he must have stolen the weapon too, but he just didn’t pass by. Enchanting is enhanced.

It can be said that ordinary people carry a dagger for self-defense, but if they hide so many enchanted weapons, it must be an assassin. Esther whispered to one of the maids, wanting to tell her to report the letter quietly, but the maid did not answer, but the soldier leaned forward: "Your Highness! Hush!"

From the room, Prince Ranto's anger came from far away, and his staff called another businessman loudly, as if to tell him to go in and confront the first person. Just when the two soldiers at the door stepped to give way, the blonde coachman shot, and he threw two flat bottles at the same time, centered on the chest armor of the left and right soldiers, the liquid in the bottle exploded instantly after the bottle broke, the spherical flame engulfed the whole body of the soldier and exploded The impact was silent. At the same time, the sound of war and blade clashing came from the room, and several "merchants and fruit farmers" outside drew out hidden weapons.

Esther stood up, and just as she was about to raise her hand to cast a spell, the soldiers behind her smashed her to the ground. She didn't struggle, because a cold dagger was clinging to her neck.

At the moment of being pushed down, she thought that the soldier was trying to "stop the princess's reckless behavior", which does not seem to be the case now. The soldier who came along was also an associate of the assassin. The maid hadn't spoken for a long time, and Estie's heart hung in her throat, wondering if the two girls were still alive.

Esther didn't want to waste her tongue with this "soldier". She maintained her horrified expression, grabbing the soldier's wrist with one hand. The soldier didn't notice the light gray smoke on Estie's fingertips, and when he noticed discomfort, he could not even hold the dagger.

An icy force invaded his body, frozen his strength and will, and caused him great invisible pain. His dagger fell and slightly scratched the side of Estie's neck, and Estie quickly turned to avoid being crushed by the false soldiers.

She walked to the row house, a curse sounded in her mouth, and a dark blue electric current condensed in her right hand. After walking a few steps, she stopped.

Several strong men in black jumped out from behind the bushes and grape trellises and swarmed up the row houses. Although they were unarmed, they successfully subdued the assassins with their excellent combat skills.

Only then did Esther see clearly that these people were wearing the holy emblem of bright moon and spiked white orchid on their chests. They are knights of the temple of Otarot. It is not advisable to wear armor on royal ceremonies, so they wore black sacrificial robes for the ceremony.

The commander of the knights is Sir Naylor. The knights were busy confirming the safety of the prince and rescuing the wounded soldiers, while Sir Naylor looked back at Esther.

He saw the wound on her neck, but it was a long time since he walked up to ask.

===================

Lot left the palace and hired a carriage. Because he couldn't tell the name of the destination, he just told the driver to turn left and right. After a while, they stopped in front of a tavern called Lucky Bird. Lott gave the coachman an expedited fee and waiting fee and told him to stay where he was, and then pick him up to return to the palace later.

He felt a familiar breath. Augilia is in the Lucky Bird Tavern. He has an extraordinary connection with these creatures, as long as they are not too far apart, he can directly sense their location.

Lott walked to the second floor of the tavern. A waitress had just brought fruit and milk tea into the room by the stairs, and was walking out with an empty tray. After the waitress left, Lott stood by the door of the room, a man and a woman in the room were chatting happily, and clinking glasses with milk tea.

They talked from the legendary **** castles to the special mineral powder. The man also personally painted the woman's lip color of "dark purple and red tones, metallic lustre and death"...

After a short while, the voice of the girl in the house gradually weakened. The man asked her what was wrong, and she said that she wanted to leave and let him wait for her in the house.

Augilia opened the door sideways, then closed it quickly, trying to prevent the people in the room from seeing outside. Lot pointed to her at the end of the corridor, and she followed obediently with her head down.

"Not bad, Augilia," the bone maharaja sighed, "It seems that you are also enjoying life in time? The ability to act is amazing."

The girl is still wearing a disturbing black robe, and her gloomy and pale face has changed slightly: the originally very pale eyebrows have become curved black lines, the upper eyelids are glowing with a beetle-like purple-green polarization, and the light lips have become Two black and red blood prints.

Augilia stared at her toes, not daring to raise her head: "Master...I've been looking for clues... It's just... it takes time..."

The maharaja patted her on the shoulder: "I didn't blame you. You are already a complete independent living body. Of course you can have your own life. I'm complimenting you for having fun in life. Just now you were talking about the castle? "

"Yes," Augilia said, "I'm paying attention to the ancient castles and ruins with visions. Such places often have magical spoilers, and magical spoilers often indicate that the plane is thin..."

"Well, the idea is good. You look up, don't look like you are caught, I am not against your makeup, nor against you being a boyfriend, let alone reprimanding you. That's right, I recently got some interesting clues I need you to help me continue the investigation."

Augilia finally raised her head, waiting for her master to speak.

"Two places are suspicious. The first is in Prince Ranto's territory. There is a place called the Lunar Mountains. Humans and other races fought there many years ago. After the war, there were humans. The warlock gradually became insane for some reason. The warlock was called the Red Vulture. The second place is the gem forest, next to the free city-state named Fessit. This place was once ruled by the necroman Illil. At that time, people called it It’s a forest of curses, and now it’s just an ordinary forest."

"I remembered. Do you suspect that these two places are a bit weaker?"

"It's just possible, I'm not sure. You can ask more about the news first, don't investigate too deeply. If necessary, I will go there personally. I think about it... you should first explore the gem forest. The magical context in that place seems very clear. , The clearer the divine art context, the more likely there is a thin spot on the plane."

"Okay, I remembered." The girl nodded in greeting, "Master, let's tell you, I have also heard many rumors about the Forest of Cursed."

The Bone Maharaja touched his chin and nodded: "Yeah. Then so be it. By the way, who is talking to you about the Cursed Forest?"

"Just... some mages."

"A wizard mage?"

"Ok……"

"Male Elf Necromancer?"

"Yes……"

"A male elf necroman with a white face and black nails, and a good-looking male elf necromancer?"

Augilia pursed her mouth and nodded. The Bone Lord sighed disappointedly: "Augilia, you really disappoint me. I tell you not to hurt Burris and the people around him, and don't let them know of your existence. As a result, you actually lived with his apprentice. Up?"

"Sorry, master... it's all accidents... coincidence..." Augilia stared at the ground aggrievedly. She did not harm the elf. "Don't worry, master, he doesn't remember me. He doesn't. Knowing my identity, I thought I was a wandering mage..."

The Bone Maharaja continued to scold her: "Don't talk about anything else, first of all...what's your taste? You are still not my creation? How can you deal with that..."

Suddenly, he remembered how Burris had persuaded the princess to break up with the knight, and felt that this was not good, so he didn't finish his words. "Forget it. As long as you keep your head clear." He waved his hand to the girl. "You go downstairs and wait. I'll talk to Black Pine."

Augilia's face became paler: "Master! He really doesn't know who I am!"

The Bone Maharaja laughed angrily: "It was you who beat him to death and I saved him. Don't worry, I won't move his finger. I just want to talk to him about something else."

The author has something to say:

Note: The wood pineapple is actually jackfruit. I don’t know if this is true everywhere, so please note... Because wood pineapple sounds more suitable for writing than jackfruit, I used wood pineapple...
