Chapter 152: Framed

"Ebbock, congratulations on your successful advanced arcanist!"
"Eps, thank you." Although Ebbock had a smile on his face, there was sadness in his eyes. Looking at his excited old friend, Ebbock tried to say it several times, but didn't know how to say it.
Epps, who was immersed in joy, was unaware of this and was planning how to announce this good news to the outside world!
"Albuquer, I am going to hold a big celebration in the territory to celebrate your successful advancement of arcanists, and just to show those who covet us, the arcane heritage of Savile has never been broken!" "This you Come on, but don't be too high-profile, what can I brag about, an arcanist in my forties!"
"Albuquerque, can I think that you are mocking me?" Epps pretended to be angry, making his face straight.
"No, absolutely not." Ebbock hurriedly begged for mercy, then changed the subject, "Eps, during our absence, the territory is in trouble." "What is the trouble? Do those people dare to call the door?"
"No, Epps, maybe it's more serious than that. When I advanced, I felt that Mayor Thayn mentioned my name repeatedly, and many others also mentioned it."
Hearing this, Epps' face suddenly changed, and it was really wrong to disconnect from the outside world for so long. "Let’s get out quickly, and the magic net here will let it recover by itself."
"it is good."
After the two left, the elements and energy that had been suppressed by Abbock in the spell laboratory immediately ran away frantically, and the manifestations of various elements and energy also appeared. The wind roared, the water splashed, the stones fell, and there was lightning and thunder, mixed with ice, fire, smoke and dust, making this magic laboratory chaotic.
...
Town office, mayor’s office.
The sky has gradually darkened, and the mayor Thain is arguing with the military chief of the territory, Ke Yann, who does not agree to continue the search. The reason is that the search will cause chaos when it is almost night, but it may give people a chance.
But Thain believes that even if the demon summoning is only one in ten thousand possible, he should not relax his vigilance. The remaining corpses and the summoning items must be searched as soon as possible.
While the two were arguing, Lord Epps and Ebbock suddenly appeared in Thain's office, which made the already nervous two even more nervous, thinking that the man behind the scenes was coming.
Koyan even subconsciously pulled out the one-handed sword on his waist, and after seeing clearly that it was the lord and Ebbock, he quickly inserted it back in.
"Lord Lord!"
"My lord, you came just right!" Thain quickly said about the crisis facing the generals and the dispute between him and Kayaen, hoping that Lord Epps could make a decision as soon as possible.
But I didn't expect that the more Lord Epps listened, the uglier his face became, "Okay, needless to say, I already understand. Koyan, you go to the soldiers to stop searching, and immediately return to the barracks to wait for orders."
"Yes." Ke Yaen responded and turned and left.
Epps said again, "Where are the corpses and wood carvings found?"
"It's all stored in the Wizard Tower and Leonard is in charge." Thain replied.
"Well, that's the end of this matter, no one is allowed to mention it again."
"But Epps, what about the demon summoning?" Thain did not dare to refuse the lord's order, but he was still very worried about the security of the territory.
Upon hearing this, Epps became even more angry and said to Ebbock, "You come and explain to Thain."
After speaking, he sat down on the chair behind Thain's desk and flipped through the papers on the table.
And Ebbke also sighed and explained: "Sarn, this incident shouldn't be kept from you, but at that time, facing the orc war, everyone had a lot of things to deal with, so I didn't tell you."
"What the is it? You kept telling me about Niya last time, and this time again, I—"
"Big Brother Thain, this is all my fault. I forgot to say it. Don't blame Epps. He had to be prepared to raid the orcs and guard against the Grand Mage Olong. It was difficult to be considerate. "
Abbock's sincere words eased Thain's mood a lot. Although he and Abbock and the lord almost grew up together, the lord is the lord after all, and the mage is the mage after all.
"Go ahead, what's wrong this time? Why is Epps so angry?"
"This matter can be mentioned as far as the original lord, the businessman named Felbers, his ancestors came to open up the territory with the original lord, and helped the original lord a lot, even the construction of the wizard tower. All have the help of the Leighton Chamber of Commerce."
Abbock first explained the origin of Felbers, and then said, "However, last year we suddenly learned that Felbers had taken refuge in the princess and had a secret mission."
"Which princess?" Thain asked quickly, and he also realized that the problem might be a bit serious.
"Which one else? Of course the Netheril family!" There are many princesses in the empire. As long as the family history can be traced back to the establishment of the Sevinton Council, any great arcanist's daughter can be called a princess.
But only the one from the Netheril family is the Great Arcanist, and generally speaking, the title princess refers specifically to the one from the Netheril family.
hiss--
Thain took a breath, not to mention that there is no great arcanist in the territory, even if there is, can it be comparable to the princess? Thain felt the pressure came suddenly, and a little too heavy.
"More than that!" Ebbock sighed again. "The statue you found before is actually the statue of the princess. Do you think that may be related to the demon summoning?"
"No, it's absolutely irrelevant!" Thain said immediately, but then he suffered a face~EbookFREE.me~ What should I do now? "
"What else can I do, I can only let this matter calm down first! After a while, people will forget about it, but there is also Felbers's death. I only hope that the Princess will not pursue it." Ai Burke is very worried.
And when he thought of the scene he had foreseen during the advancement process, Abbock became even more worried! I thought that the Territory had solved the orc tide, and it would usher in a big development next, but I didn't expect it to suddenly feel like the end is coming.
"Eps, I don't think the celebration should be held anymore."
"No, it will be held as usual, and it will be more high-profile." Lord Epps resolutely said, "I will go to Sevinton and find Lord Oron."
"Look for him?" Ebbke didn't understand why he was suddenly involved with Grand Mage Olong.
"Yes, do you remember what Lord Oron said before he left after the raid on the Wolf Mountain? He is also a member of the princess, and he specifically told me, remember to find him when you go to Sevinton! What do you mean by that? ?"
"He wants to win you over?"
"It should be this. In that case, I followed his heart. As long as I have use value, I will be needed and will not be abandoned. Maybe after the princess, the territory will develop faster! "
Having said that, Epps still has a bit of bitterness and unwillingness in his eyes, how important the independent development of the territory is, from the time when the first lords gave up the mature territory of the core area of ​​the empire and chose to explore this wilderness. And now he is going to go on the old road of many territories in the empire. Choosing to join the Seven Towers Group may be able to benefit, but it is also restrained and even implicated.
Last time, Grand Master Olong went to Saville to lead him. Maybe the territory was already labeled as a princess, and this time it might have been implicated.
