Lord of Arcane

Chapter 152 Framed
"Eberke, congratulations on your success as an Arcanist!"

"Epps, thank you." Although Eboke had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of sadness. Looking at the excited old friend, Eboke wanted to say it several times, but he didn't know how to do so.

Epps, who was immersed in joy, was unaware of this, and was planning how to announce the good news to the public!

"Eberke, I'm going to hold a big celebration in the territory to celebrate your success as an arcanist, and just to show those who covet us, the arcane heritage of the Savile Territory has never been broken!"

"It's up to you to decide, but don't be too high-profile, what can I boast about as an Arcanist in my 40s!"

"Abeck, can I think that you are mocking me?" Epps pretended to be angry and put on a straight face.

"No, absolutely not." Ebuke hurriedly begged for mercy, then changed the subject, "Epps, during our absence, the territory is in trouble."

"What's the trouble? Do those people still dare to call the door?"

"No, Epps, maybe it's more serious than that. When I advanced, I felt Mayor Thain mention my name repeatedly, and many other people also mentioned it."

Hearing this, Epps' complexion suddenly changed. It was really inappropriate to lose contact with the outside world for so long, "Let's go out quickly, and let the magic net here recover by itself."

"it is good."

After the two left, the elements and energies in the magic laboratory that had been suppressed by Eberke immediately ran wildly, and the manifestations of various elements and energies also appeared.

The howling wind, spraying water, falling stones, lightning and thunder, mixed with ice, fire, smoke and dust, made this magic laboratory into a mess.

……

Town hall, mayor's office.

The sky had gradually darkened, and the mayor, Sean, was arguing with the military director of the territory, Ke Yaen. Ke Yaen did not agree to continue the search on the grounds that the search would cause confusion when it was approaching night, and it might give people an opportunity to take advantage of it.

But Thain believes that even if there is only a one-in-ten-thousandth possibility of the demon summoning, one should not relax vigilance. The remaining corpses and summoning props must be searched as soon as possible.

While the two were arguing endlessly, Lord Epps and Eberke suddenly appeared in Thain's office, which made the already nervous two even more nervous, thinking that the mastermind behind the scenes had come to the door.

Ke Yaen even subconsciously pulled out the one-handed sword at his waist, and after seeing clearly that it was the lord and Eberke, he quickly inserted it back.

"Lord Lord!"

"My lord, you came at the right time!" Thain quickly explained the crisis facing the territory and the dispute between him and Ke Yaen, hoping that Lord Epps could make a decision as soon as possible.

But I didn't expect that the more Lord Epps listened, the more ugly his face became. "Okay, needless to say, I already understand. Ke Yaen, go and let the soldiers stop searching first, and go back to the barracks immediately to wait for orders."

"Yes." Ke Yan replied, then turned and left.

Epps added, "Where are the bodies and the wood carvings that were found?"

"All are stored in the Mage Tower, and Leonard is in charge." Thain replied.

"Okay, this matter will stop here, and 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 safety of the territory.

Upon hearing this, Epps became even angrier, and said to Abeck, "Come and explain to Thain."

After speaking, he sat on the chair behind Thain's desk, and flipped through the paperwork on the table.

And Eberke also sighed, and explained: "Sarn, this matter should not have been hidden 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's the matter? Last time, you kept the matter from me about Niya, and this time it's like this again. I—"

"Brother Thain, this is all my fault. I forgot to mention it. Don't blame Epps. He had to prepare for a surprise attack on the orcs and beware of Archmage Auron at that time. It was difficult for him to be careful. "

Eberke's sincere words eased Thain's mood a lot. Although he and Eberke and the lord almost grew up together, the lord is the lord after all, and the mage is the mage after all.

"Tell me, what happened this time? Why is Epps so angry?"

"This matter can be told as far back as the first generation lord, the businessman named Felbos, his ancestors came together with the first generation lord to open up the territory, and helped the first generation lord a lot, even the construction of the mage tower All have the help of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce."

Eberke first explained Felbers' background, and then said, "However, last year we suddenly found out that Felbers has long been with Her Royal Highness, and has a secret mission."

"Which princess?" Thain asked quickly, and he also realized that the problem might be a little serious.

"Who else could it be? Of course the one from 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 Sevington Council, any daughter of the Grand Arcanist can be called a princess.

But only the one from the Netheril family is the Grand Arcanist. Generally speaking, the title of princess refers to the one from the Netheril family.

hiss--

Thain took a breath, not to mention that there is no Grand Arcanist in the territory, even if there is, how can it compare to that princess?Thain felt that the pressure came a little suddenly, a little too heavy.

"It's more than that!" Abeck sighed again, "The statue you searched before is actually the statue of Her Royal Highness. Do you think it may be related to the demon summoning?"

"No, absolutely nothing!" Thain said immediately, but then with a bitter face, "Then what should we do now?"

"What else can I do, I can only let this matter settle down first! After a while, people will forget about this matter, but there is still the death of Felbers, I just hope Her Royal Highness will not pursue it." Ai Burke was very worried.

And when he thought of the scene he had foreseen in the process of advancing, Eboke became even more worried!I thought that the territory would solve the orc wave, and then it would usher in a big development, but I didn't expect that it suddenly felt like the end was coming.

"Epps, I don't think the celebration should be held."

"No, it will be held as usual, and it will be more high-profile." Lord Epps said firmly, "I will go to Sevington to find Lord Auron."

"Looking for him?" Eboke didn't understand why it was suddenly involving Archmage Auron.

"Yes, do you still remember what His Excellency Auron said before he left after the raid on Wolf God Mountain? He is also a member of Her Royal Highness, and he specifically told me to look for him when we go to Severton! What do you mean by that? ?”

"He wants to win you over?"

"It should be this. In this case, I have fulfilled his wish. As long as I have value, I will be needed and will not be abandoned. Maybe after relying on the princess, the territory will develop faster! "

Having said that, Epps still has a bit of bitterness and unwillingness in his eyes. How important is the independent development of the territory, since the first generation of lords abandoned the mature territory in the core area of ​​​​the empire and chose to come to this wilderness to develop.

And now he is going back to the old road of many territories in the empire. If he chooses to join the Seven Towers Group, he may be able to get help, but it is also restraint, and he may even be implicated.

The last time, Archmage Auron went to Saville to lead her, maybe the territory was already labeled as a princess, and this time it might be implicated.
