[Western Fantasy] The mystery of life and death

While Altai was still angry about the past, Prince Palmer surveyed the terrain carefully, and he mused, "I think if Loka lands in this area, he might go into a cave to hide."

Elder Abelson sighed in his heart, this is a good thing, but also a bad thing.There are caves all over here, the internal ravines are intricate, and the mountains and rocks are layered, which greatly interferes with the magic search induction.

"You can ask Mason to help. Mason is actually very talented in magic, and he is also the most familiar with Loka." Palmer suggested.

Mason?The name gave Elder Abelson a shudder.But this eccentric child is indeed very talented in refining.Many of Loka's magic equipment was refined by him, and his methods were not inferior to priests of various races.In Elder Abelson's mind, there was that weird little lunatic with black hair that the people in the secret land of Alantis didn't have, and those purple eyes that made people uncomfortable.

The head of the guard, Altai, looked even more contemptuous, "You mean that monster?" He kept looking down on Mason.He always felt that there was a strange feeling about that guy. He was so thin that he could crush it with one hand, but there was always an uncomfortable feeling. He always felt that the quiet and shy guy was actually not afraid of anyone. , He even faintly felt that deep down in his heart he was afraid of him.This feeling made Altai feel deeply insulted. He almost wanted to beat that guy up. He couldn't figure out why Lorca and Palmer had been protecting that monster.

Prince Palmer persuaded, "Mason is actually a good person. You don't know how much he suffered when he was living outside. His problems have improved a lot over the years, and most of the time he is normal. Lorca has always taken care of him since he was a child. , it can be said that Lorca is his closest friend. I think he can help." Prince Palmer mused, "Lorca may also be injured, the sooner he can be found, the better!"

Thinking that Palmer was also homeless when he was a child, maybe this is why Palmer sympathized with him.Altai grudgingly expressed his agreement.

Elder Abelson nodded.As expected of the benevolent Prince Palmer, he has always tolerated that weird lunatic Mason.

At this time, Eric, the high-ranking guard who had been following the guards, said hesitantly: "Speaking of Mason, I seem to have seen him appear in the habitat of the flame monitor lizard."

"Oh?" Prince Palmer's expression froze, "Why didn't you report it before?"

"I'm not sure if it's Mason. It was the day before our investigation mission was about to start. His Royal Highness Luoka ordered me to observe the terrain around the habitat of the flame lizard. I planned to come back at night, but it was dark. The road It’s difficult to go, and I don’t dare to use the lighting technique to startle the flame monitor lizard. I plan to nest there for one night and wait until daytime before leaving.”

On the night when Eric went to investigate the habitat of the flaming lizard in advance, in the middle of the night, when Eric was about to fall asleep sleepily, he suddenly heard the sound of rustling around him.Eric's drowsiness disappeared, and he immediately hid behind the high rocks vigilantly.At this moment, he saw an unbelievable scene—all the flaming monitor lizards crawled out of their caves!They all silently gather towards the open space in the middle of the habitat.After reaching the middle of the open space, they lined up neatly in a circle silently, motionless like stone sculptures, with their heads facing the middle of the open space, and then Eric noticed a person in a black cloak, as if blending into the darkness , so I didn't find him before.Eric felt as if he was summoning the lizards.The mysterious man raised his hands. Although Eric was far away on the high mountain, he still felt that the mysterious man was at the center. Waves of energy fluctuations spread like a hurricane. He felt dizzy and didn't dare to look more.After a while, there was another sound of digging.Eric mustered up the courage to take a sneak peek. Most of the flaming lizards dispersed. Only three particularly huge flaming lizards actually dug a hole on the ground. The mysterious man waved his hand, and they dispersed by themselves. Crawl to the nest.

Then the mysterious man did not know what he did to the pit on the ground, and he faintly felt a powerful and dangerous aura.Eric was scared and curious at the same time. The mysterious man had been wearing a hood all the time, and Eric couldn't see him, but he always felt that the pit seemed to glow with a lavender light.After watching it for a while, Eric couldn't restrain his sleepiness and fell asleep in a daze.When he woke up the next day, he wasn't even sure if it was a weird dream.I didn't dare to stay too long and left in a hurry.

After the accident, Eric and members of the investigation team entered the devastated habitat of the flame lizard to look for Loka, and he suddenly discovered that the hole dug by the flame lizard in his dream turned out to be a water pool.For a moment, he didn't know if he was really dreaming.

After Eric finished speaking, Elder Abelson, Prince Palmer, and Chief of the Guard Altai all looked serious.

At this moment, the moonlight stone leaf carving in Elder Abelson's hand suddenly glowed.The ruling king Augusta's order "Abelson, an emergency meeting of the Presbyterian Church!"

Abelson was taken aback.This shows that there is another emergency.Ebelson wants to close the team.But Prince Palmer stopped him gently and irresistibly, "Elder Abelson, please go back immediately. I will be responsible for the search and rescue operations."

Elder Abelson was still worried about his safety, so he hesitated immediately.

Prince Palmer solemnly reminded "the emergency meeting of the Presbyterian Church shows that the situation is serious!"

Elder Abelson didn't hesitate anymore, and left Palmer with a bunch of special magic crystals before leaving.Then he ordered the chief guard Altai to let his staff fly away.

Prince Palmer's moonstone leaf carving suddenly lit up, and it was the voice of Libetas, the high priest of the Huiyue Clan, "Your Highness, is Mason in the search and rescue team?"

"Mason? He's not with us."

Mason?Palmer looked at the dark and winding ravine of unknown depth, and fell into deep thought.

In addition to Mason's appearance and behavior, Palmer also faintly felt that Mason might have some unusual feelings for Lorca.He sometimes felt that there were two Masons, the one who was always quiet, clumsy and shy in front of Loka; the other Mason, which made him feel a little shivering down his back, and he had seen it occasionally when he passed by a high tower of the Temple of the Moon .He recognized Mason next to the spire, with a familiar face, but a very strange demeanor, indifferent but majestic, with a faint feeling of controlling life and death.One more look left Palmer dizzy and breathless.When he recovered, he saw that the top of the tower was empty and there was no sign of Mason.
