The mage arrives

Gordon was the first to walk the Ancient Way.At that time, he discovered that the statue made from the body of Master Cyprus in the cave had disappeared.

Before Gordon figured out this mysterious incident, he discovered that the power of the sacred barrier had weakened a bit compared to the last time he entered here and obtained the gemstone crow.

The legendary spell that built the sacred barrier back then was based on the body of Archmage Cyprus Ding.Now that the mage's body suddenly disappeared, it was natural that the effect of the sacred barrier would gradually weaken until it finally disappeared.

This is not good news.Maybe three days, maybe five days, when the sacred barrier disappears, the demons will definitely follow their footsteps and enter the ancient road.

In terms of marching speed, this civilian women and children accounted for more than [-]% of the human troops, and it was definitely not as fast as the demons.

It was Gordon who proposed to Ms. Bishop that the surviving mountain people in Andorie Town should follow them into the ancient road.And the news that the sacred barrier was gradually weakening, he also told Ms. Bishop.

Since only Gordon had entered the ancient road before, only he knew about this change.But other spellcasters or people who are more sensitive to arcane power can also detect the changes in the sacred barrier as long as they stay in this crystal cave for a day.

Ms Bishop had wanted to hide the news for a while to give the weary people some extra rest.Now that Earl Thompson is here to attack, Gordon can only release the news in advance.

"You're talking nonsense! The sacred barrier of the ancient road was built by Archmage Cyprus Ding at the cost of his own life, using legendary spells. It has lasted for nearly a thousand years, how could it suddenly disappear!" Thompson Of course the earl didn't want to believe what Gordon said, and stared at the black-haired mage angrily.

He felt that this must be a lie fabricated by the other party to scare him, it must be like this!

"Baron Gordon Freeman!" The old earl stared at Gordon.Word by word, "Although you made a contribution in the breakout battle, it does not mean that you can talk nonsense and disturb the hearts of the army and the people. I have to suspect that you have ulterior motives!"

Gordon laughed: "Earl Thompson, no, maybe I should change my name, well, the old bastard is a good name. Let me tell you, old bastard. You don't have to give me a big hat. Is what I said true? You'll find out tomorrow."

"You... how dare you insult an old gentleman with such vulgar language! I... I want to..."

"You want to sue my behavior to the noble council?" Gordon shrugged, not paying attention to Earl Thompson's threat at all.Grant scolded, and he naturally scolded.A mage, enraged, can be even more terrifying than a barbarian.

But scolding a few words can only make my heart feel better.Lord Thompson.Relying on his family has a long history.With deep connections, the lord of the scepter had to give way to three points, so he was so unscrupulous.Under the leadership of Ms. Bishop, most of the humans in the hunting camp managed to escape from the demon siege, although they suffered some casualties.out of danger.This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Earl Thompson group who advocated standing firm and waiting for help and opposed the breakout.

To be a ridiculous clown in the midst of such a demonic invasion was not what the good-natured Earl Thompson expected.So the demonic threat temporarily disappears.As soon as he no longer had to rely on Ms Bishop and others for security, he started jumping up and down.

Earl Thompson wanted to let others know that he was more capable than Ms. Bishop and Gordon, so as to cover up his previous misjudgment.

Stupid, short-sighted, selfish aristocrats.

But unfortunately, there are not many such nobles.

Before the quarrel was over, suddenly two scout cavalry rode up to Ms. Bishop, and they said, "Ma'am, someone has passed through the barrier again and entered the ancient road."

"Who?"

Everyone was surprised.

They have rested in this crystal cave for more than two hours.Even if there were people who were left behind due to accidents before, they should have rushed back by this time.

The person who suddenly appeared after such a long time, I'm afraid...

Ms. Gordon and Ms. Bishop immediately thought of a possibility: Could it be that the devil manipulated the captured humans and then released them back as internal agents?

"Who is that person?" Ms Bishop asked.

"Mr Burdisso Baratheon."

"It turned out to be Burdisso!" Earl Thompson showed a smile on his old face and urged, "What are you waiting for, bring Mr. Burdisso here."

"No." Ms. Bishop raised her hand and directly denied Earl Thompson's proposal, "Keep Burdisso in place and don't let him move around. Let's go there immediately."

"Yes, ma'am!" The two cavalry rode back immediately, ignoring Earl Thompson.This made the old noble look very ugly.

When he came to the entrance of the cave, Gordon saw the mage of the Baratheon family yelling at the soldiers who were watching him and furious.

"You rude and ignorant soldiers, do you know who I am? I am Burdisso Baratheon! From the family of the Grand Duke of Silmaril. How dare you restrict my freedom in life? Believe it or not, I will kill you all with magic die?"

Several soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, showing a look of embarrassment.They are just private soldiers of the nobles. If the situation were not difficult, how could they come to make things difficult for a noble mage?

But fortunately, Ms. Bishop appeared in time and rescued them: "Mr. Burdisso, I ordered them to watch you. Are you dissatisfied?"

She raised her finger, and the four knights behind her immediately stepped forward, taking over from the previous soldiers and firmly controlling Burdisso.These knights are also nobles, and they are backed by Ms. Bishop, so naturally they will not take Burdisso's identity into consideration.

"Ma'am, what are you going to do?" Burdisso said in amazement.He looked at Earl Thompson who was following, with a pleading look in his eyes, "Master Earl, please help me..."

Burdisso's identity is there, even if he is not favored, he is still a member of the Diamond family after all, and he was on the same side as him before, so Earl Thompson said: "Ms. Bishop, you have detained a noble mage for no reason. , What is the reason? I hope there is a reasonable explanation and let Mr. Burdisso go as soon as possible!"

Donne smiled and said, "Old bastard, don't you think Mr. Burdisso's appearance at this time is very suspicious? Don't you doubt that he has betrayed human beings and acted as a devil's spy?"

"You..." Unexpectedly, Dawn followed Gordon and called himself an "old bastard". Earl Thompson wanted to get angry, but due to Dawn's identity, he could only record all this secretly.

When I get back to Clear Water City, I will make you damn fellows pay the price!

He secretly felt ruthless in his heart, but he ignored Donne's provocative words on the face, and said, "You are just guessing. The Baratheon family is the pillar of the empire. How could Mr. Burdisso turn to the devil?"

"Whether it's a guess or a fact, it's very easy to prove." After Ms. Bishop finished speaking, she said to Viscount Angelo who had specially called over, "It's up to you, Viscount."

This ninth-level priest has mastered the magical art of "detecting the camp". As long as he investigates Burdisso, he will know whether the other party has become a devil spy.

Sir Angelo raised the holy emblem of the Platinum Dragon God, and released a white light, covering Burdisso.

After a while, Burdisso's body responded with blue and green lights.

Blue represents order and red represents chaos.White represents good and black represents evil.Green means neutral.This shows that Burdisso's current camp is still lawful and neutral, and has not fallen to the evil chaos to which the demon belongs.

"How? Can you let me go now?" Burdisso raised his head and said confidently.He was still a little apprehensive at first, worried that the divine arts would discover his deal with the devil.But now, it seems, business as usual.

Ms. Bishop nodded, telling the knight to let Burdisso go.Burdisso glanced at Gordon triumphantly, followed Earl Thompson, and walked away.

Gordon looked at his back, thoughtful.After thinking for a while, he called Bivis over.This wretched and slippery guy has admired Gordon a lot since he witnessed the astonishing spectacle of a huge avalanche created by the shrinking technique, and he is now his loyal follower.

Although it was awkward to have a "little brother" who was a round older than himself, Bivis was very clever and could let him do some special things.

"What can I do for you, Commander Gordon?"

Seeing Bivis's nodding and bowing appearance, Gordon shook his head helplessly, and said, "I've given you a mission to monitor Burdisso Baratheon and report to me his whereabouts three times a day."

Bivis was puzzled, "Didn't Priest Angelo use divine magic to detect it just now? Master Burdisso seems to have no problem."

"This is a misunderstanding. Any kind of creature will only change its alignment after taking specific actions. For example, a farmer is jealous of his neighbor who married a beautiful wife and has a hundred acres of fertile fields. All day planning how to kill his neighbors and occupy his property. But no matter how vicious his ideas are, as long as he does not take action, then the camp will not change. This is the basic rule of this multiverse. If Burdisso takes refuge in Although this incident will change his alignment, it will not be too obvious. With the ability of Priest Angelo, it is impossible to see it. Only when he does evil things will he really invest in it. Evil faction. But by then, it will be too late."

"I understand." Bivis said, "I will definitely complete the task of monitoring Burdisso perfectly, Commander Gordon." (To be continued...)
