As they walked through the forest again, the three became more and more silent, and Fernando seemed to be a human-shaped storm that was about to erupt. The more repressed, the more terrifying.

The secret stronghold provided to Douglas is a hidden cave, with traces of the magic circle operating only at the deepest part, and the appearance is a pure natural cover.

"Mr. Douglas, you will live here for a few days and wait for us to arrange things before you come to see you." Even though Douglas had a gentle attitude along the way, making people feel like a spring breeze, Roland chose a very polite name when saying goodbye. An archmage.

Douglas didn't feel left out in the slightest, knocked on the condition in the cave, nodded slightly, and smiled unchanged: "There is a place for me to conduct research, I am very satisfied."

He did n’t mind being warned, but rather he was quite satisfied, because the organization that did n’t guard and test the magician who had run away had almost died out and became the dust of history. He did n’t want the organization that he was about to join. There is no difference between that and death.

Before Antiphle fell, he was good at observing and thinking. He had understood the cruelty of the situation. Under the temptation, oppression, and coercion of the church, parents abandoned their children, apprentices assassinated masters, and friends attacked each other. Instead of disappearing with the initial collapse of the magic empire, it is even more fierce, because for a large part of the magician, there is no cost to wait and see and hesitate, either betray or die.

"It's best not to conduct magic experiments. The black-clawed dog's sense of smell is very sharp." Fernando reminded with a twisted face, fearing that the Archmage from Antioch was too confident in his own strength.

Douglas took the thick white paper from the storage bag and placed it on the stone platform in the cave, looking at them as if enjoying the most perfect lover: "Relax, I have enough mathematical research to consume all my energy. "

"Mathematical research ... Are you from a tower?" Hearing things related to magic, Fernando's mood eased a little, and asked with interest, in his impression, tower geometry was the first to let his own magic learn Something frustrated, and the magician in the tower is full of enthusiasm for mathematical research, just like Douglas in front.

The magicians of the ancient magic empire have long paid attention to mathematical research, because this is closely related to the construction of spell models, and has achieved a series of results, such as tower geometry, but most of their energy is still on spell learning and blood On the research, after all, the results of mathematical research are difficult to achieve immediately. Only a small number of magicians take them as fun. Most of them are astrologers, and the tower is one of the most famous astrologer organizations.

When the dawn war broke out, the church began to gain the upper hand, and the wizards who were willing to study mathematics and science were even rarer. At least Fernando had never seen a guy with such a fanatical expression when talking about mathematics and science.

Douglas raised his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "In fact, I really want to join the tower, but they don't want me to be this weird guy, and after Antioch fell, I never saw them again."

"I'm glad you have been soberly aware of your eccentricity. If you can ask less, why would it be a very good friend?" Fernando has always been willing to attack others, even if the other party is a Master, he is not the same Will change.

Douglas smiled, not responding to Fernando's words.

Roland gave Fernando a complaint, why did he make up for his mistakes every time?Would he not speak without satire?Bai Sheng has a lovely and handsome look!

He coughed: "Mr. Douglas, don't mind Fernando. He is a descendant of Arthur, a barbaric empire. He can hear it from his accent. By the way, what do you need? You can organize a list in these days. If there is a special Urgent, tell me now. "

"No." Douglas shook his head and watched Fernando and Roland leave, clearly knowing that when they came back, it was time for them to take the test.

What will be the test?

…………

Leaving the forest in silence, Fernando and Roland did not speak, but changed the hidden place in a tacit understanding, hid in the city, and walked to the villa of Viscount Erecan-this is their safest hiding place, only The place known only at the highest level of the organization is also unimaginable to the vigil.

When the nobleman had not succeeded to the baronial title, he hooked up with a high-level wizard of the "Magic Union" in a certain action to destroy the magician, and then used his power to eliminate powerful enemies and succeeded. Obtained the title, and then established the merits by virtue of the "information" of the "Union of Wizards Union" three times, and became a Viscount, the first weighty aristocracy that the "Union of Wizards Union" has drawn since the implementation of the new strategy.

Fernando and Roland had changed their appearance long ago, and they passed through the main entrance with the appearance of the familiar Viscount housekeeper, no one doubted, because this was indeed them, their identity on the surface.

The old housekeeper remained silent as always, and did not ask one more question to the two guys who often received special orders from the Viscount.

After returning to his room, Roland had just rinsed and heard Fernando's familiar violent knock on the door.

"Something? Discuss how to test Douglas?" Roland asked doubtfully. After a few days of tense life, he just wanted to take a good rest.

Fernando's spiritual field spread, closing the door, and growled in a low voice: "Roland, we must fight back!"

"Assassination of vultures?" This was something they had discussed earlier, so Roland froze for a moment and reacted, saying cautiously, "We have to make a rigorous plan to use other people's whereabouts to lure the vultures, and then surround Kill him?"

"No." Fernando's bright red eyes were filled with seriousness and anger. "Benson defected. How many of us are here. The black-clawed dogs are well aware that maybe it is not us who besieged the vultures, but that they betrayed us. Well, you know, this insidious method is the specialty of the black claw dog, and I also want to kill Benson together! "

"How is this possible? Benson must be hiding in the referee now, we have no way to lead him out to kill!" Roland did not hesitate to reject Fernan's proposal, "otherwise we will wait a bit, contact the headquarters and come back Several high-level magicians, so that they are more sure to strangle the vulture. "

Fernando controlled his anger and shook his head: "The vulture has a keen sense of smell. After a few days, he will no longer attack so recklessly, but will join the local nobles and clergy to act together, or even rush away. Other regions. "

"Then what are you going to do?" Roland asked in a puzzled way. This wouldn't work, nor would that work, what exactly did Fernando mean?

Fernando almost growled: "Directly attack the referee, kill the vultures and Benson! They must be there!"

"You are crazy!" Roland felt that either Fernando was crazy or that he was crazy.

In the past, when the magic empire still existed, there were indeed cases of breaking through the referee and even the cathedral, but in the past 100 years, no magician dared to attack the referee directly. This is the black claw dog ’s den, with a powerful god. Spell arrays and high-level night watchmen, where is the magician who flies like a mouse in the gutter can hit it, you have to choose a good way to commit suicide!

After a light breeze, Fernando's slightly messy hair fluttered, just like the prelude to the beginning of the storm: "Since you can't think of it, the church and the black-claw dogs even more. For more than 100 years, the referee has never been directly attacked. Their reaction will definitely be dull, and it will be very chaotic by then. As long as we kill the vultures and Benson before the church and the nobles react, we can calmly leave! "

"This, this ... but, but our strength ..." Roland felt his brain was a mess, and at first thought it was something that vultures could not even dream of, and at once thought it was too crazy and too funny.

Fernando said without a smile: "We have a Archmage."

"Douglas?" Roland suddenly sobered, and the magician's instinct regained, and said to himself, "The strongest in the whole city is the vulture, the eighth-level sky knight, and the others are the newly promoted cardinals or sky knights, maybe there are Several high-level magicians who betrayed, but there must be no Archmage, otherwise we will not be so easy to escape, at least two-thirds of the staff will be lost. "

He paced back and forth: "The magic of the Nine Rings is strangely powerful. The strength of the Archmage is far higher than that of the high-level. In the case of raids, there is no problem with breaking the referee. I do n’t know if we will pick up a Archmage. Except for Carlos, only Mr. President knows. Well, there is no problem with strength comparison, but Douglas has not yet passed the test? Will he betray us? "

Fernando still has a straight face: "This is the test, kill the vulture, he is one of us."

"This ..." Roland felt that there was a possibility of success, but it was very swaying. "But this will anger the church. I'm afraid that the heart of time will be sent over."

Speaking of "Heart of Time", he had fears that he didn't even realize. The epic knight made his own glory with the bones and blood of the magician, and even killed a legendary lord. It is a nightmare for countless magicians. It is their real abyss demon.

Speaking of which, he woke up and he was led by Fernando in a big circle: "We have Douglas, we can use the method of seduction to kill the vultures, even if this is their deliberate intention, we absolutely do not think we have a Master , Why attack the referee directly? Do n’t be blinded by anger, Fernando, and find a chance to get rid of Benson next time. "

Fernando snorted: "Let others evacuate in advance from Pephos County, and you leave early. If the church retaliates, you have to find us first."

His expression was a little more serious: "We must kill the traitors immediately. Only when we prove that we have the ability to kill the traitors and the ability to cause trouble to the church, the nobles are willing to cooperate with us in secret and support us to cause more trouble. Betray us! "

"Roland, how critical the current situation is. You should be very clear. If you are not willing to take risks, you have to wait slowly to die. We must show our value so that we can get help. Retreating step by step will only lose all opportunities for cooperation."

Roland gritted his teeth and thought for a while: "Fernando, you must pay attention to safety, especially to prevent Douglas from being a traitor."

He agreed with Fernando's suggestion. According to the rules of the Union of Wizards, as long as the two leaders of the club agreed, then they could proceed.

Fernando didn't smile because of Roland's promise, clasping his hands, suppressing his anger, and preparing to explode at the right time.

…………

In the forest, near the secret stronghold.

"I stay outside." Roland said to Fernando, fearing that there were already night watchmen ambushing around him.

Fernando nodded and went directly into the hidden cave.

He had just crossed the last barrier and suddenly stepped on a piece of paper full of words, all over the floor.

He looked at Douglas, who had been writing hard, and saw that his neatly combed hair was very messy. Fernando curiously picked up the paper under his feet and looked at the content above.

In this way, Fernando stayed in place. He has always been a recognized magical genius, and he is also very talented in mathematics. The formulas, words, and symbols written on the paper give him a kind of mathematics he has never learned feel!

What exactly is Douglas researching?
