In the Southern Army's camp, the four of them continued to discuss the future war in a slightly tense atmosphere.
The middle-aged man was very annoyed with Master Scott's unruly behavior, but he had no choice but to try to maintain a calm expression on his face.
In the end, the meeting ended on bad terms. Samar and the middle-aged man left the room, while Earring Youth and Scott stayed.
They were going to have some internal discussions among the mages.
"Alas...Scott."
The young man sighed, and the frivolous expression disappeared from his face.
"The adults in the higher-ups are already dissatisfied with you. They have long known that it was at your instigation that Samar launched the attack."
"Hmph! Those pedantic old fogies, I don't care what they think."
"Then why were you greedy for merit before? Didn't you just want to improve your status in the hearts of all the adults?"
"You..."
Scott was a little angry after being told about the central issue.
"Hmph! Anyway, you set fire to Crystal Radiance's granary, which is already a great achievement. You can stand and talk without pain in your back."
With a smile on his face, the young man walked up to Scott and patted him on the shoulder.
"Be patient, gold will always shine. Don't you have confidence in the enchantment you are proud of?"
"How is that possible? I have always been proud of being an enchanter."
"Yes, this is the attitude we need. When the main battle between Giles and Aldo Royal Family takes place, you enchanters will be of great use."
"I didn't expect you to take the responsibility just now."
"I don't bother to do things that I dare not do, let alone let an ordinary person take the blame for me."
Under the persuasion of his companions, Scott regained his confidence.
"I will pay attention in the future and will not interfere militarily Samar. How are our progress elsewhere?"
"Progress elsewhere?"
"Like Jiaowan? Or Northwest Bay? Didn't Master Barnett go to Northwest Bay a few months ago?"
The young man was a little confused and said, "It's strange, there has been no news from Mr. Barnett for several months. Could it be that something happened?"
Scott sneered, "Stop joking, who else in this world can do anything to Master Barnett? Besides, isn't this kind of situation common for him? He has always been a loner, and it would not be surprising even if there is no news for a whole year."
Although Barnett always looked down on their enchanters, Scott still recognized his strength.
The young man shrugged. "I hope so, but there are many powerful forces in this world that we don't know about. Isn't it the Hellfire you met before?"
"Continue talking about Northwest Bay!"
"According to Lord Barnett's instructions before he left, we sent a spiritual companion there to cooperate with the mortal power he developed there. The lord he conquered is faithfully executing his predetermined plan. Moreover, the largest lord over there - Duke Ferdinand has also been controlled."
"In other words, everything is going well. It seems that Northwest Bay will be in our hands sooner or later."
"It's hard to say. There are still a large number of lords who are directly loyal to the Aldo Royal Family. I guess a battle or two is inevitable."
"Is there any news from the Horn Bay?"
"The conflict between the top leaders of various countries and Church is inevitable. Our people have just lit a fire between them."
"Oh?" Scott became interested, "How did you light the fire?"
"Kidnapped Eton Grand Duke's wife and sister, and then deliberately threw her to Church - that little girl has the potential to become a mage."
"Eton Grand Duke must hate Church now, right?"
"That's natural. Horn Bay Alliance originally planned to unite all countries to fight against Church, but now we have Eton Duchy as a big help. But... something went wrong later."
"What's wrong?"
"Originally, we wanted to get the little girl back and return it to Eton Duchy, so that Eaton and Church could make each other hate each other again. But unexpectedly, Eaton rescued her first. Several compatriots lost news during the interception of Church's troops. We don't know which side killed them."
Scott fell into silence when he heard that Secret Art Society's companion had lost his life.
The young man asked strangely, "Hey! Why don't you speak?"
"I said..."
Scott hesitated a little, as if he was considering his words.
"The 'Witch Hunt' of Jiaowan... we Secret Art Society people are actually adding fuel to the flames, right?"
After listening to Scott's words, the young man's expression became serious.
"Where did you hear that?"
"Everyone has spread the word privately!"
The young man turned away and remained silent.
Samar reminds me of Scott. Is the person next to him like this too? "
"That's not the case. Although that person has a bit of a weird temper, he is still quite easy to get along with, but..."
"But what?"
"I can still vaguely feel that Zi, this person can't even hide it, and directly writes "It's your honor to talk to me" on his face, and not only for ordinary people, but also for his subordinates who are also mages. "Is it true? Why? Secret Art Society Why do you persecute your compatriots? "
"Shut up!"
The young man suddenly shouted loudly.
"These are all rumors! They are all rumors! How could Secret Art Society persecute fellow mages!"
Under his roar, Scott, who was several years older than him, was shocked.
Both of them stopped talking, and the room fell into a long silence.
In another part of the military camp, Samar was walking with the middle-aged man just now.
"These mages are really weirder than the last!"
The middle-aged man complained, and he became very angry when he remembered Scott's appearance just now.
"Mr. Messenger, you
His ego, though well hidden. "
What a good look.
"But they do possess powerful and mysterious power! One interrogation of a prisoner really opened my eyes. No matter how perfectly the other party's lies were weaved, they could see through them at a glance. And that magical enchantment can actually make an ordinary Soldiers fight one against ten. If we hadn't met the legendary Hellfire, we would be walking in Thorn Fortress now."
"Yes, now the Grand Duke still has to rely on them, and those of us who are subordinates have to accompany him carefully. By the way, I have also heard related legends about the Hellfire you are talking about."
Samar remembered the scene that day and said with some fear, "That is a powerful weapon that is not inferior to magic. How did Dodge Grand Duke get it? I have never heard of it before."
The middle-aged man looked hopeful, "General Samar, if you can dedicate the method of making Hellfire to the Grand Duke, that would be a great achievement! This is a weapon that can defeat even mages, and it can also kill that Scott."
Samar nodded solemnly, "Well, of course I know this."
