Everything was just right (Part one)

The winner of Champion Mage Challenge has disappeared. This information has not been spread out at first. Even if it is spread, not many people believe this baseless rumor.

But at night, every time the scheduled parade after the birth of Champion Mage was canceled with just a hasty notice due to some kind of force majeure, only then did people believe this rumor.

And this rumor has been supported by new evidence in the next two days, proving that the new Champion Mage has disappeared.

This includes the dinner originally scheduled for the day after the competition, which Champion Mage Committee also refused to host due to the limited budget this year.

There was also news in the newspaper that there would be a speech specifically for Magic-Essence Communication Device, but this session was immediately cancelled.

In addition, since the finals that day, 'Philly' has never appeared again, which makes the rumors of its disappearance even more convincing.

At this time, other negative news related to Champion Mage Committee, such as a large number of players being removed from the team through pre-match review, as well as internal affairs with players, etc., began to appear in the ears of the public.

Even though some people thought they had seen these news, they couldn't stand the fact that these news had not been discussed before, so after they were re-announced, they still caused an upsurge of discussion on Number Three Floating City.

Of course, what everyone is most concerned about is not these negative news, but where did this year's Champion Mage'Philly' go? Are they still there?

Without relevant information, no one would have thought that Champion Mage was using a fake identity. More people speculated that Champion Mage had a conflict of interest with the committee, so the committee would certainly not announce the championship this time.

Things intensified on Number Three Floating City, but the person at the center of the incident, Champion Mage, had no reliable information about his whereabouts from beginning to end.

"Number Three Floating City's Champion Mage winner is missing. What could be the reason? Is it a power struggle on the committee?"

Number Nine Floating City, Harbos took today's newspaper and felt a little surprised when he saw the news on it, although he usually doesn't pay attention to this game.

But when a competition is so troubled that the final winner disappears, and then newspapers print conspiracy theories that it was the competition committee's fault, it's not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

"The winner of this year's competition is still the mage Elemental School. It's really strange. Could it be that there are foreign forces targeting young mages related to Elemental School, just like Fran."

Harbos In recent times, he has spent a lot of effort searching for Fran. He has sent letters of questioning to those who have seats within Elemental School.

He even recently applied to Investigator Headquarters for twenty Third Order Investigator to search for this matter, and finally used Astrology School's connections to obtain information through prophecy.

But Investigator visited every corner of the airship airport on Number Nine Floating City and found no information, according to the leader Senior Investigator.

"It's as if the mage you were looking for suddenly changed his face and walked out on his own."

"We have not found a few people who behaved suspiciously, including the mage you are looking for. There was no suspicious behavior before he disappeared."

On the other side, the mage from Astrology School expressed regret after the prophecy.

"I'm very sorry. I guess I can't help you. If you need anything else next time, please ask me again."

"What's wrong?"

"I've lost contact with the stars, just like those apprentices who use spells too much. Now I need some adjustments, otherwise I won't get the information at all."

"Fourth Order Mage like you would do this too?!" Harbos was speechless.

"Although rare, this situation does happen. Many Fourth Order Mage will encounter it two or three times when they break through to Fourth Order. This time it is a bit unlucky."

Of course, this Fourth Order Mage did not do anything. He also specially invited a third-level mage Astrology School to come over and help Harbos make predictions.

The results were also very disappointing. The mage came up with a very contradictory result.

"She is above Alliance's Floating City, and she is outside the territory of the Alliance."

Fran As a Second Order Mage, it is not easy to have today's Order. How can we still study Second Order Clone Ability.

Moreover, there is no mature clone ability in the second level. Even if Fran searched for it on Elemental School, he could not find much useful information.

Therefore, instead of thinking that Fran is using the ability of the clone, it is better to directly assume that this is a prophecy error. After all, no matter how much the prophecy is said, some reality must be taken into account.

Even this delineated area is really too large. One is in the floating city and the other is outside the territory of the alliance, which also excludes the land and sea areas of the alliance on the ground.

For now, the Investigator team led by Harbos cannot even say that Fran will definitely not be on Number Nine Floating City.

Even the third-level mage Astrology School knew that the information obtained from his prophecy was too little after the prophecy was completed. He apologized very guiltily, began to doubt his own spell level, and finally left.

However, although the prophecy did not bring any clear news to Harbos, at least he was certain that Fran was probably alive.

If Fran has split into two parts, then the prophecy should imply that it is dead, or that it is a part of her.

The fact that such a prophecy can still appear shows that Fran is still alive for the time being, but we just don't know what the situation is now.

But up to now, Fran has been missing for more than a month.

The expression on Harbos's face was not very good. Although he still had hope, such a long period of time had passed and his rationality told him that it would be difficult to achieve a satisfactory result.

However, he still did not stop and did not let these Investigator go back. After all, even if Fran died, he still had to find out who killed his disciple.

At this moment, a Investigator broke into his room with a Communication Device and shouted:

"Sir Harbos, the Iris you are looking for is on the phone now. She is asking you why you called her so many times during this period."

The solemn look on Harbos's face has eased slightly. He has been unable to get through to Iris. In the current situation, it is difficult for him to go to Iris. And other people do not have the authority to contact Northern Lands Society, so it is really difficult to contact Iris.

"Give me the talking device."

Harbos immediately said straight to the point:

"Okay Iris, I will explain to you why later."

"Now Fran is missing. I can't find her through Investigator. Do you have Communication Device for her?"

"This the Alliance official Communication Device cannot be used for study and teaching, and the relationship between Elemental School and I was not so bad before she left, so I did not apply for her."

"I gave her a special Communication Device of Battle Mage Corps, please wait a moment."

Iris said this, and then there was the sound of turning things over from her side, and then a pleasant sound came.

"Found it."

"Try to talk on the phone. If it doesn't work, give me the final position." Harbos didn't have high hopes, after all, it's been so long.

The sound of footsteps came, but Iris's movements slowed down. She hesitated for a moment, but still told the information she had observed.

"The verification system on the Communication Device is still running, which means that the device has not alarmed me yet, simply because someone on the other side has been verifying it."

In fact, Fran has been doing verification since she got this device, and it has become something she must do every day.

After all, this thing can retaliate against your enemies. As long as you don't verify it one day, it means that something happened to you and you can easily notify Iris.

Even Iris herself didn't remember much about this matter after Fran came back from Snow Bear Territory for the first time.

Harbos's expression changed, which meant that either Fran was still alive and still free, but could cancel the alarm, so why not just open a call to Iris.

Either some masters reverse engineered this Communication Device and can make the device cancel the alarm without the verification of Fran.

He felt that the former was somewhat unlikely, but the latter was not a trivial matter. This was a special Communication Device that was common to Battle Mage Corps. If something went wrong, the entire the Alliance would shake three times.

"Let's make the call first."

Iris started pressing several buttons on the device to try to place a call.

But something magical happened. After the call started to connect, before the three seconds of waiting time for the connection had passed, a "beep" sound came out, which was the sound effect of a successful call.

"Hello?..." This is the voice of Fran, both Iris and Harbos are familiar with it.

Iris was stunned for a moment, and then asked directly:

"Fran?"

"It's me, what's wrong? Society President?" Fran acted as if nothing happened.

Harbos was impatient and asked directly:

"Where are you? Fran, you have been missing for a month."

Fran was stunned for a moment, and her mind began to run wildly. Why did Harbos suddenly know that she had left Territory Mage Working Group? This was really something she had not expected.

Harbos never told her where the secret mission he participated in was, nor how long it would take.

But Fran's mind moved very quickly. She had now changed back to her own identity and entered Number Nine Floating City's interior through some special means, which was enough for her to hide it.

"Ah, has it been a month? I was researching on Number Nine Floating City and didn't even pay attention."

Harbos Although he still had doubts in his heart, since it sounded like nothing happened to Fran, his tone began to soften.

"It's not important anymore. First tell me where you are on Number Nine Floating City? I'm nearby now. Also, what are you studying on Number Nine Floating City?"

"I'm studying the time-related Alchemy Device Legendary Oinrich gave me. Maybe these Alchemy Device have some effect..."

This thing is familiar to Oinrich Harbos, and we also know that time is the direction controlled by Oinrich as Legendary, but what does this have to do with Fran?

"Ah? You are studying this. How can you understand this kind of thing?"

Iris was also surprised, but her surprise was not that Fran was actually related to Oinrich, but that Fran actually started to study this stuff.

This is something Harbos doesn't know about. He doesn't know that his disciple is actually appreciated by Oinrich.

He seems to have missed too many things about his disciples, Harbos thought with some sadness.
