Platinum Throne

When the guards of the Holy Empire arrived, they saw three corpses.

The two stood there dumbfounded, blood flowed from their bodies, dripped on the ground, and then solidified, like two pillars of blood, supporting them not to fall.The entire face of the young man lying on the ground had turned blue, obviously poisoned.

"Goddess..." Someone in the guard shouted in a low voice, their eyes quickly passed over these corpses, and they didn't dare to look any more, turning over to look at the woman standing beside them.

Norma Hill.

If the guards of the Holy Empire were not very clear about this reclusive female mage before, then now, they are all sincerely vigilant and fearful.

"Uh...this one, Your Excellency..." The captain of the guard stood up, and he said bravely, "Yes, can you explain what happened?"

"Obviously." Norma nodded at him, with a little smile on her face, which was different from the expressionless female mage that the former guard captain occasionally saw.

"They seem to think that it was because of my relationship that the Crescent Mercenary Group was destroyed." Norma shrugged, "So they intended to take revenge, but unfortunately they didn't succeed..."

"May the goddess be merciful and guide their souls to the kingdom of God."

As a murderer, that's too much to say.

The captain of the guard couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.At this time, there were pattering footsteps in the corridor.The captain of the guard looked up and saw Walcott, Wilson, and Murphy, the new representative of the Platinum Tower, all coming.He breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter whose fault it was, it was finally out of his hands.

The captain of the guard was in a good mood, but the others were not so happy.The Crescent Mercenary Corps participated in the battle against the elves, and suffered heavy casualties. The entire team was almost destroyed.The Holy Empire also made compensation according to the contract.But this team is impossible to build again.

Some people still remember the scene where Lida led the crowd to make a fuss not long ago.

How disgusted and indifferent at first, but after seeing the bodies of several people.Everyone present still had some fear and unspeakable strange feelings, which may also be called sympathy.

All the people present were big names, and the matter quickly subsided, and it was not even mentioned, and seemed to be forgotten by everyone.But some things will not be forgotten because of this, but fermented in secret.

"The attitude of the Holy Empire is not very good recently." Murphy said to Norma holding the information.

Norma didn't raise her head: "Well, it's probably the aftermath of that incident—but it doesn't matter, I'm leaving here too."

"What's the next location?" Murphy asked.

Norma raised her eyebrows. After thinking for a while, she replied, "We will go up the Zen River, pass through the High Rock area, and reach the Endless Sky Pillar."

"Where are the winged people?" Murphy frowned.

"Yes, there are what we need." Norma lowered her head again, leaving a series of ink marks on the information.

Murphy opened his mouth, wanting to say something, when there was a knock on the door.

Murphy frowned immediately, but there were no assistants or servants around who he could drive.Murphy had no choice but to open the door by himself. Outside the door was a sorcerer from the Platinum Tower who came with Murphy.When he saw Murphy, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Murphy, the Holy Empire..."

The sound is isolated with the sound of the door closing.

Norma raised her eyes, she glanced quietly at the closed wooden door, then snapped her fingers, a halo appeared, and immediately revealed the scene outside the door.

This scene was partially distorted, Norma frowned, bent her fingers and tapped the table.The elements immediately spread out obediently and docilely around Murphy's distortion, allowing light, shadow and sound to clearly reach Norma.

"The priests said that there were traces of filth at the scene. So they suspected that Teacher Hill...maybe, it wasn't...that...human..."

Murphy's face changed, his expression changed, and finally twisted and said: "Then what are they going to do? Arrest Norma Hill!"

The assistant mage was taken aback by Murphy's suddenly raised voice, he swallowed once, and then said: "No no... Well, they said, it's best to cooperate, let, let Magister Hill be able to Show your true identity. This way, this will also make everyone feel at ease."

Murphy's face was gloomy and he didn't speak.

The assistant mage carefully looked at Murphy, then guessed what Murphy was thinking, and asked softly: "That... the purpose of the Platinum Tower does not limit the identity of students..."

"No limit? Then why don't the academy have dark elves?"

"So I figured it was time to inform the council... eh?"

In the assistant mage's wide eyes, his and Murphy's words popped out almost simultaneously.

Murphy gave the assistant mage a hard look.The assistant mage seemed to have discovered something, and hurriedly closed his mouth.

It seems that the relationship between Murphy and Grand Magister Hill is not as good as outsiders think.The assistant mage was thinking, and he was a little confused. After hearing Murphy's next words of "promise them" and "notify the Platinum Tower", he seemed not surprised, but agreed numbly.

Seeing this, Norma didn't seem to be interested.She waved away the prying eyes, and looked at the information in front of her again.The golden eyes became more and more depressed, and the black mist seemed to spread from the golden eyes, slowly infecting the pupils, trying to dye them into a scarlet color.

At this time, there was a knock on the window.

Norma looked up, only to see a little chubby hand raised high.Then the chubby waved his hand vigorously, and threw out a small thing.The thing got into the gap of the window, and then suddenly expanded its body, forcing the window open to a height that a child could climb into.

Then, the dwarf rolled in from the window with agility that didn't match her height and occupation.

"...I heard that some dwarves are very skilled thieves. It seems reasonable now." Norma looked at the uninvited guest and said, her voice was low and her eyes were heavy.

But the dwarf didn't notice the difference at all. She patted the non-existent dust on her body in fear, and waved her hand: "It's nothing. If it is paired with the shrinking potion, I dare say no one can locate me."

After finishing speaking, the dwarf came over mysteriously: "Although you found my little thing, I have made good improvements...Of course, the test object is not you."

Seeing that Norma didn't speak.The dwarf laughed meanly: "Then, do you want to flee with us? The Holy Empire is uneasy and kind. Anyway, now you have a substitute, and you are no longer so unique."

Norma stared at the dwarf, silent.After a while, I asked, "What do you want?"

"Hey!" The dwarf called out, her voice was sharp, like a child's, but it wasn't that pleasant, but at this moment, it sounded very pleasant to Norma's ears.

"What do I want? I don't want anything. I don't like the Holy Empire, and I don't like that acrimonious man named Murphy. The enemy of an enemy is a friend. And more importantly, I don't want to be with a demigod." Enemy, that's really stupid. Don't you, my friend?" The dwarf winked at Norma.

Norma paused for a moment, and then slowly smiled a little: "You are right, my friend."

This time it was the dwarf's turn to be taken aback.She shivered, rubbed her arms, frowned and muttered: "What's wrong with you? Don't laugh at me, it's disgusting."

So the next moment, Norma pursed her lips, restrained her smile, and raised her chin: "Lead the way."

The dwarf turned around happily and opened the window completely: "My little thing is not bad, it feels like jelly. It is the inspiration I found from slime. It is non-toxic and pollution-free, and it can be recycled. It is very convenient. .Of course, there is still a bit more mana eating power. But it is convenient and easy to use..."

The dwarf chattered, and Norma silently followed behind the dwarf.Where no one can see, the rising darkness gradually settles down.

"Eh? I said, this seems a bit wrong. How can I be so happy when I am treated like this by you?"

"Ha..." Norma finally laughed.At that moment, the golden pupils shone in the sunlight, and there was no scarlet color anymore.

This scene was captured by the light element and brought to the two people in the distance.Caroline looked at Norma for a long time, with a smile on her lips.

Then, the light curtain annihilated between a pair of pale palms.

"It seems that there is no need to worry. This child... seems to be lucky." A gentle voice sounded.

Caroline bent down and replied softly: "Luck is also a part of strength."

"Of course, her future will be smoother this way." The woman glanced at Caroline with a weak smile, "Don't worry. I can no longer conceive another child... and I can't put all these in another child body."

"...I believe a mentor is the most suitable." Caroline stood up and replied cheekily.

"Very good. Then, let's go, there are still many things ahead." Bella Nelson coughed in a low voice and walked forward slowly.

Caroline followed quietly behind her.

Behind them, the lush, green kingdom of the elves was finally abandoned, and rocks, deserts, elemental life, and hyenas took over the highlands.

This is High Rock, the kingdom of rock and desert.
