Clearing the Battlefield
The heavy rain flooded the level Lorinvik.
All the soldiers, including the commander of the level, the Earl himself, had to hide in a high tower.
At this time, there was still some water on the first floor of the tower, and the water gradually reached up to my knees.
"Where did this heavy rain come from?! I have never seen rain like this in my life!"
"Oh my God, there are only so many of us here. Half of the members of my team are not here. They..."
"Why do we encounter such a thing..."
The soldiers inside the tower were constantly rejoicing, feeling sad, and cursing what was happening in front of them. The heavy rain was still pouring down outside.
If a soldier opened the door at this time, the sound of rain outside would easily drown out their voices, and they would have to speak with all their strength.
The count was sitting on the top floor of the tower. The top of the tower seemed to be unable to withstand the erosion of the rain, and water leaked from several cracks.
Several soldiers hurriedly made repairs and pressed the plank up tightly. Due to the lack of fixed objects, they could only hold it down with their hands.
"The mage seems to have just gone out..."
The departure of a mage is nothing at all, but Sean left in a hurry, and the earl did not have time to see him off.
But after Sean left, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared near the level, including strong winds and light, and now heavy rain.
This made the count have to wonder if something had happened to the mage, otherwise how could such a phenomenon occur.
"After the heavy rain stops, we have to report this matter to Royal Capital, and the Alliance..."
This matter is quite relevant, so he must inform the Alliance.
"~...~"
A melodious music came from outside the tower, covering the sound of rain, and spread throughout the tower.
When the count heard the music, he first had doubts on his face: How could there be music here now?
The count's tense face relaxed, as if following the music, the things on his mind were slightly relieved.
If the count hadn't been able to hear sounds other than music at all, he would have relaxed - because the heavy rain at this time was already weakening.
After the transformation and Elemental Regression, the huge Water Element was close to dissipating at this moment, but no one in the tower noticed this change.
The soldiers also fell silent at this moment, their pupils dilated, and they sat upright on the ground. As the tone of the music lowered and slowed down, their bodies began to sway backwards.
On the top floor of the tower, the count looked at the soldiers who were still working to block the leak. They were leaning on the wall and sliding down.
The count could also see that the pupils of these soldiers were at their maximum size, their eyelids did not fall down, and their bodies were already extremely relaxed.
If this were normal, the Count would feel a little fear and anger after seeing this scene.
He will draw the long sword in his hand, dispel the fear in his heart, and swing the sword at the enemy.
But at this moment, he couldn't even express his fearful expression.
He could feel that his eyelids were heavy, but he couldn't close them.
A stiff wooden board was attached to his back, making his back very uncomfortable.
His hand had already been placed on the ground, and he was still groping for the hilt of the sword.
Finally, the count lay on the ground, his eyes wide open weakly, his pupils maximized, and his serenity and relaxation overcame all fear and tension.
On the water outside the tower, Fran felt that the alluring spiritual atmosphere was no longer coming from inside the tower, so he closed his mouth.
The Siren vocal cords upgraded to the second level can use singing voices to influence targets on a large scale.
"I made them forget their memories for a day and added a dazed state to them. This should be enough."
Even if all these soldiers get up, they are probably all stunned and don't know what happened. The movement caused by her killing Sean just now will not be recorded.
Even if Investigator of the Alliance comes here, he can only hear a description of himself suddenly passing out. According to the magic interrogation process for ordinary knights, nothing will go wrong with this.
Even if something goes wrong and a certain knight remembers hearing a burst of music, that's okay.
Fran believes that the symptoms on the corpse are enough for the Alliance to point the finger at the inside of Astrology School.
After all, this uses [Falling Star Spear], a spell that seems to have not been leaked.
In any case, these traces cannot lead to suspicion on Fran.
"There are prophecies..."
Fran once again thought of the most annoying way of looking for murder by mages. The last time she was at City of Apprentices, she suffered a loss in this regard.
In this regard, Fran still adopted the old method of burying the body.
She looked at a hill one kilometer away from the previous Battlefield, and she controlled Earth Element to bury the body twenty meters below.
"That's enough. I don't believe those mages have any corpse tracking devices that can directly find the corpse here."
"As long as it takes two months, no matter how strong Prophecy Spell is, it won't be effective."
Fran Finally, she carefully checked her layout, and after confirming that nothing was missing, she hurriedly left here.
Although things are going very smoothly, for Fran, everything has just begun. If the follow-up is not handled well, even if a Third Order Mage is killed, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
According to Fran's expectation, the ideal situation is about one month later. Since Sean and various abnormal reports cannot be contacted, the Alliance will send Investigator.
Then after a search to trace the traces of Sean, suspicion may be cast on Antir.
After all, Sean has also been to Antir, so they might be able to find some clues.
Finally, after Investigator targeted this place, after a period of searching, the body of Sean was found.
At this time, it has been two and a half months since Fran killed Sean.
And at that time, in order to get rid of the impact of this incident, Fran had to publish Territory Mage's article Paper before that, and go to Floating City with Iris.
The process of Fran's estimation was like this. She went back to Antir non-stop and quickly sorted out the information on hand.
But what Fran didn't expect was that in order to concentrate on finding the thing that would make him regret his whole life, Sean applied for a two-year experiment period from the Alliance. Generally speaking, the Alliance would not disturb the mage who was concentrating on the experiment.
In other words, the Alliance will not even notice Sean's death and loss of contact in a short period of time.
It was not until two years later, and one month after Sean lost contact, that the Alliance was treated as missing and someone was sent to search for him.
At this time, we still have to go through the process envisioned by Fran.
By the time Investigator is excluded from Horn Pass, it is estimated that the corpse of Sean will be able to raise several Earth Element First Order Magic Creature.
When the count woke up, he felt as if his head was splitting in pain, and his body could hardly use any strength.
"What happened?"
There was a hoarse murmur in his throat, which made him feel as if his throat had been violently stirred in water. He almost lost all his strength when he said these words.
This feeling of powerlessness reminded him of his childhood before he became a Profession sufferer. At that time, he would feel so powerless even if he had a minor illness.
But fortunately, he was already a First Order Profession survivor. He took a moment to relax and move his stiff body before getting up from the ground.
He saw that he was in a place that looked like an attic, with sunlight shining through the cracks in the wooden boards on the side walls, and water dripping from several places on the ceiling.
"Here, how did I get here!?"
He stroked his groggy head and had no impression of this place at all.
But he still remembered the most important thing, which was to serve the mage well. He called his servant's name, but received no response.
Only then did he see the unconscious soldier lying on the ground.
After a lot of efforts, only one soldier woke up and leaned unsteadily against the wall.
The soldier was even less clear about the count's question.
The soldier's condition was worse than he imagined, and he couldn't speak at all.
There was no other way, so the Count could only do the work of investigating the situation himself.
It was not until noon that the Earl figured out the current situation. The situation inside the level almost made his brows wrinkle into knots.
"Where is the mage?"
The Earl watched as the entire level was submerged in water, and it was completely impossible to get to where the mage originally was.
"Forget it, that mage seems to be Third Order Professional. If something happens to me, it may not happen to others."
After his brain was briefly overloaded, the count relaxed, as long as he didn't cause the mage to be dissatisfied.
"Then what's going on with the water, and why do I appear in the tower?"
Then the count became confused about what he encountered. He couldn't understand why he didn't have any memory when he went to the tower.
And where have all his soldiers gone? The soldiers in the tower are not enough for one-third of his men...
The count turned his attention to a house that was flooded, and the result was already very obvious.
"In that case, some unknown Magic Creature attacked the level. Most of the soldiers were injured and killed, and the level was almost destroyed."
He could only report it like this. In their place, it was normal for a Magic Creature to appear and destroy military facilities.
At most, the level destroyed this time is more important, and the degree of destruction is higher.
His soldiers seemed to have suffered heavy casualties, and the checkpoint facilities were completely damaged, completely consistent with the signs of destruction by Magic Creature.
Since he didn't know anything, he could only report it like this.
But when he looked at Horn Pass opposite, he seemed to suddenly remember something.
"By the way, Antir seems to be occupied by the Alliance... If I hand it over like this, will the people of Royal Capital think that the mage launched the attack..."
But then, he said again.
"Whatever, if the Alliance really comes to attack us, we'd better submit Magic Creature to attack."
Reporting the situation as a Magic Creature attack is not his problem; if there were other reasons for reporting... why would he do such a stupid thing?
