Lord of Glory - Chapter 126: Unexpected Intelligence

Looking deeply at Marquis Carmon, Magician Bericolando turned his head and stared at the doppelganger as he continued, “Besides, the fortress has my elemental shroud magic in effect, it’s impossible for a mage to be able to sneak in without me knowing about it.” The doppelganger saw Bericolando staring straight at him, and an invisible oppression came over him. However, he was naturally unaffected, and stood up, and under Bericolando’s somewhat surprised gaze, pulled back his somewhat disheveled red hair, and said very politely, “Your Excellency must be the honorable Magus, Bericolando. In fact, that mage didn’t enter the city at all, but he waited outside the city when I went after him. I think that Your Excellency’s senses have been detected by him first, that’s why he didn’t enter the city to disturb you.”

Bericolando was silent in response, just quietly looking at the doppelganger, waiting for his next words. The doppelganger naturally had more to say, he was able to detect the nervous gaze that Marquis Carmon threw at him, and with a refined and gentle smile, he continued, “Mages’ guilds are numerous on the continent. There are seven or eight small mages’ guilds within the duchy alone. We have reason to believe that the mage who attacked me was not a mage from the Forest of Hellite.”

Saying this, Bericolando revealed a faintly undetectable smile slowly nodding his head and said, “That’s natural, how can the mages in these fragmented mage guilds be compared to us, Hellite?” The Marquis of Carmon who heard these words, on the other hand, had a somewhat ugly face. After all, such a good opportunity to push away the trouble was about to be wasted by this fellow.

However, he heard the doppelganger continue, “However, this mage is the one who has the best grasp of magic before I met your honorable magician. I would also like to ask Master Bericolando to appraise how high his magical attainment has to be for someone who can instantly send out magic without incantations and directly use hand gestures to immediately freeze to death more than twenty armor-clad soldiers?” “Eh… At the very least, a Grand Magician.” Bericolando’s face turned ugly. Because such attainment’s were indeed a Great Magician. And he couldn’t say that the attainment wasn’t good. Because that would simply be hitting his own mouth. He had just said that those small mages’ guilds couldn’t produce any talent.

The doppelganger bent his waist gratefully, looked at the circle of all the nobles who had cast their eyes on him, and idly opened his mouth to say: ”However, as far as I understand, there is no magician who has reached the level of a Grand Magician within the Duchy’s Mage’s Guild. Of course it cannot be ruled out that he is an outsider, yet it cannot be denied that he might also be from the Forest of Hellite.”

“Snap!” As soon as the doppelganger’s words fell, he saw an angry look immediately on the face of Bericolando who glared over! Because he knew that this kid was teasing him! But before he could lash out, the Marquis Carmon on the side immediately held back his glee and slapped the tabletop to interrupt the potentially stormy master and stood up to relieve himself, “Lord Baron, this is Master Bericolando. How can you be so rude? Still not quick enough to apologize to the master!” Being so preempted by Marquis Carmon, it was really not good for Bericolando to snap. He could only look at the doppelganger who bent down to apologize with a smile on his face, and said with an unspoken voice: “Young man, huh.”

However, at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and several guards walked in carrying a pale-faced guard. Marquis Carmon frowned slightly and immediately asked, “What’s going on here?” “My Lord Marquis, this dude fainted outside of the northern camp and was rescued by the patrolling guards who saw him. There are still three dead brothers lying around him!”

“Oh, what happened?” Marquis Carmon suddenly had a premonition, a premonition of surprise. Only to see this guard looking at the great nobles present, he took a very nervous breath. Taking off the iron helmet on his head he cupped his hands together and stood in place very uncomfortably. Marquis Camon immediately waved his hand, and those guards who had sent him up immediately dispersed. When the gate was closed, Marquis Carmon asked rather curiously, ”You must have something important to say, that’s why you’ve come to see me, right? Say it, there are no outsiders here.”

This guard immediately shivered with fear, once again glanced at the nobles who were all casting their gazes at him, and said in a hesitant tone, “I am a soldier who was ordered to patrol the back of the camp this night. However, I encountered two mysterious people. They killed everyone else and left me alive to ask me about a…..Father Paladin’s trail.” “Hmm!” The crowd immediately looked at each other, all sensing something out of the ordinary. Marquis Camon even stood up and urged, “Go on, there are gold coins for when you finish.”

At the mention of gold coins, this guard immediately swallowed his saliva. With a longing gaze, his mouth was much more fluent, “Naturally, I don’t know where any Father Paladin is. Only told them where the clergy lived. And they knocked me out.” “And then?” Carmon glanced at the contemplative Paladin and pursued the question with his hands propped up on the tabletop. Instead, he got a frosty shake of the guard’s head, “Nothing more.”

Marquis Camon rolled his eyes and was about to sit down in a bummer when the doppelganger sitting in the tail seat immediately asked, “This soldier, was there a magician among those two mysterious people?” “There is! There was! What a powerful magic, it scared me to death back then!” The guard who suddenly remembered what he had missed immediately chimed in. He also didn’t forget to complain about his fear at that time. When these words came out, the crowd immediately showed a vaguely uplifted expression, but it was Bericolando on the side who had a face as heavy as water. However, the doppelganger turned his head to look at the guard, revealing a gentle smile and said, “Are there any other more obvious characteristics?” “Hmm.”

The guard scratched his head in careful thought, his mind recalling the wizard shrouded in dark shadows, the wand in his hand that glowed blue, and the. And the hand that held the wand, the ring on his index finger! “I remember!” The guard immediately came to a realization, and his fear of these nobles was temporarily thrown away as he waved his hands and said, “There is a ring on his hand that is silver-gray. There are three black mountain shapes on the ring.”

As soon as the guard’s words fell, Orinna, who was sitting in her seat and had been silent, immediately inclined her head with a sneer and looked at Bericolando and said, “Those are three towers. Don’t you think so, Master Bericolando. Oh, I forgot, you are wearing one on your hand as well.” At this moment, Bericolando’s face was as ugly as it could be. Because on the index finger of his right hand, which was lying on the table, he was also wearing a ring. Aside from being gold in color, the three towers had the exact same totems as the guards had described. “That’s right, the ring is a status symbol that only a mage of Hellite can wear. But it doesn’t mean that this mage is a Hellite, won’t it be snatched up by some evil mage?”

The doppelganger saw Bericolando arguing extremely hard, and also saw the Marquis of Carmon showing some relaxation, and knew that this was the moment that had been waiting for a long time. The fire between the two parties had already been fought. Immediately, he threw out his bottom card violently, ”In fact, when I was fighting with that mage, I had already seen his face. To be honest, such a face is really easy to confirm. A shoulder-length aquamarine hair, and a very handsome face. Honorable Master, does this person ring a bell for you?”

After the doppelganger’s treacherous smile with triumph finished, he saw Bericolando’s face suddenly sink. Perhaps that person who used ice magic was someone he really did recognize! And on the side, Marquis Carmon immediately waved his hand and said, ”Guard you can go out. Tell the reserve officer that I’m the one who said so and give you ten gold coins.” The guard immediately excitedly thanked him repeatedly and hurriedly left this hall. These people with great power in their hands gave him an invisible pressure, and he was already a bit breathless.
