Many enemies have been made but lost...

This is the status quo of [Kingdom of Netheril]...

--------

after one day.

Under the mobilization of [Iolum].

Headed by an advanced and well-prepared 【Senior Grand Arcanist】.

Forty elite-level [arcanists] and two hundred melee-type [professionals] are supplementary.

The mighty [National Treasure Escort Team] officially set off without the common people knowing.

Their only task is to spend three days transporting the [Nather Scroll] to [Floating City] in [Karthas].

Both the starting point and the final point are located in the hinterland of [Kingdom of Netheril].

As for the strength of the escort, not to mention their activities in the hinterland of their own side, even in the hostile area during wartime, they can kill seven in and seven out!

So, no doubt, this is not a troublesome task.

No one really regards it as a high-risk mission.

however.

The next day, at sunset.

A message is sent back.

【Resisting Color Scroll】Stolen again.

Escort the team, including the leading 【Great Arcanist】.

No one survived.

All died in a canyon somewhere.

In the nearby area, except for a very small number of battle traces.

There is hardly any sign of resistance!

This means that most of the escorts may have died before they even figured out who the enemy is!

for a while.

At the same time as the news came out.

There was an uproar and noise in the whole country.

And as the first person to get the news.

[Iolum] Standing on the balcony made of pure white jade, looking down at the scene of the mountains around [Floating City], after a long silence, his eyes turned to look at the edge of the distant skyline, The orange-red sunset that was setting in the west mountain.

In the end, he just let out a long sigh with a somewhat gloomy expression...

Chapter 1064: The Eve of Contact

"How can things be lost??"

"In our own territory, there is still such a powerful delivery team, everything can be lost???"

[Karthus] who can't understand how things developed like this.

After knowing that the [Naishi scroll] was stolen, the escort died.

at this time.

The look looked extremely excited.

The welcome banquet that was still being prepared for the escort team was cut in half.

And, between his words.

There is also emotion of disbelief and unavoidable excitement.

[Naise scroll], as the country's [National Treasure], is of great value, there is no doubt about it.

And since the theft thousands of years ago, they have been preserved for such a long time without any problems.

But now, it was stolen because of one of my proposals...

Just thinking about the coincidence or abruptness, [Karthus] felt that he would be on everyone's suspicion list...

Furthermore, even the [Grand Arcanist] who escorted the things died because of him.

The relatives and friends of the other party undoubtedly need him to find a way to appease...

and so.

Even if it's just a simple thought.

【Karthus】I can't help but feel that my head is as big as a bucket.

It's hard to calm down...

but.

He also understood it clearly in his heart.

in the current stage.

The thing I need to do the most is to figure out how to communicate with [Iolum] what happened.

Only by persuading the other party in charge to still trust him, can he wash away his suspicion as quickly as possible.

If not, there is a high probability that things will only get darker and darker, or if they can't find the target, they will be half-forced to take the blame for the black hand behind the scenes...

however.

Before he could figure it out, how to communicate with 【Iolum】.

The other party contacted him faster than him.

Moreover, he was not allowed to speak first.

At the moment when the [Magic Item] link was completed, [Iolum] on the opposite side chose to speak first.

The speed of speech is neither arrogant nor impetuous, without any urgency.

Even the tone of voice was as calm and composed as ever.

I only heard [Iolum] comforting him:

"This time the theft of [Naiser Scroll], as far as the mastermind behind the scenes, I know it has nothing to do with you."

"So, you don't have to have too much psychological burden, just do what you can do."

"There are other people, I will try to explain the whole story for you."

"And, now you, you need to take care of the relatives of the deceased and others, and don't let them cause any trouble..."

Just a few words at the beginning, the pressure on [Karthus]'s heart dropped suddenly.

"Thank you for your trust, I..."

--------

After ten minutes.

After a series of discussions.

[Iolum], in the state of mind of [Karthus] who breathed a sigh of relief, finally disconnected the other party's link.

Then, without any hesitation, he contacted the rest of the [Grand Arcanist] and explained to them the fact that [Karthus] shouldn't have any problems.

And let the rest of the [Great Arcanists] manage their own territories.

Don't cause any bad influence among the lower class residents because of this incident...

After such an operation and arrangement.

The time came two hours later.

At this moment, the sky has become completely dark.

Only the sky full of stars and the silvery white moon shine on all living beings.

In this [world], there is no saying that the light of the moon comes from the sun.

Many stars have the ability to shine independently.

And that.

Already in the [Kingdom of Netheril] on the [Magic Ship], after exploring the starry sky countless times, it has been repeatedly verified many times...

At this moment, [Iolum] looked at the endless night sky.

In my heart, the biggest feeling is a sense of powerlessness...

It was the feeling of being powerless in the face of threats, plots, malice.

In a trance.

He was also under uncontrollable circumstances, and a thought appeared unconsciously...

"Otherwise, just turn to a [god] and forget it..."

'For example: [Goddess of Magic]...'

However, after thinking about it carefully.

【Iolum】I still had no choice but to give up that idea.

Because, under the influence of culture.

The residents of [Kingdom of Netheril] are all guys who don't respect [God].

Don't talk about relying on the other party.

Many times, they don't even bother to accept each other's gifts.

For example, it is unacceptable for many [arcanists] to allow [priests] to heal themselves through [divine spells].

In their view, after accepting the healing effect of [God Art], it is essentially equivalent to showing weakness to the [God], and the body and soul will also be eroded by the other party, thus completely losing the chance to reach the top [Become a God] ! !

Therefore, many [arcanists] would stubbornly refuse the [divine spell] from the [priest] even if they were seriously injured and dying.

It was a kind of deep-rooted arrogance and unyielding...

And in this case.

I want [Kingdom of Netheril] to submit to a certain [God].

Even if the opponent is the [maker] and [manager] of the magic net, a [god] named [goddess of magic].

Many [arcanists] are bound to be quite dissatisfied.

Even, doing all kinds of extreme things...

Such as directly attacking the opponent's believers...

Even as their nominal [ruler], [Iolum] cannot change this...

---------

【Iolum】While worried.

In the underground space of [Kingdom of Netheril].

The group named [Felin Mokui], after a thousand years of development.

Finally, the underground resources have been developed to a certain extent.

Become particularly spare energy to look at the top of the head.

Cast your exploring eyes towards the ground...

They are seriously digging the passage leading to the ground.

And as the excavation proceeded.

Constantly approaching the surface, the [Floating Void City] that is continuously releasing magic power.

As a group that devours [magic power] and [life force] for a living.
