Arcane Lord

"There is nothing we can do about it. King Elisir Mian has informed my king in advance. This matter is unusual. You have also seen it. Why would the disappearance of the prince cause such a big commotion?"

Although the envoy sent by King Pasteur this time is not a Holy Hammer warrior, he has a relatively special identity and background - Gru's distant uncle, which allows him to talk to a Holy Hammer warrior like Gru on an equal footing.

"I heard that Prince Seer is the favorite grandson of King Ilyseer. Is it related to this?" Gru asked.

"My favorite direct grandson? Do you believe this?" The messenger shook his head disdainfully, "Those high-ranking families in Comanso have long been degenerate. Do you think they value their relatives and family as much as we do? Think about it. Who are they leading here this time?”

"Elicante?"

Gru was no stranger to this high mage of Cormanthor, and of course he was even more familiar with Elicante’s brother, the high mage Garanod named after his family, and one of the three gods of Cormanthor. The wielder of the Sword of Skill, one of the swords.

Gru vaguely remembered that the original Galanord family was extremely famous in Cormanso because of its possession of the divine sword, but for some reason it suddenly fell silent overnight.

It wasn't until Elikant's brother showed up using his family name that the outside world knew that the previous generation of holders of the Sword of Skills had passed away.

Fortunately, the Excalibur is still passed down to the Galanord family, but unfortunately, in order to inherit the Excalibur, most of the spellcasters in the Galanord family lost their spellcasting abilities during the Excalibur Trial.

So far I haven't heard of anyone recovering.

"Excalibur inheritance? Prince Sel?"

Gru seemed to have thought of something, but he always liked to be straightforward and did not like to think about things that were too complicated. The messenger was still there, so he continued to ask:

"Does King Iliselmian want to do something about the Divine Sword Trial?"

It is difficult to say that the inheritance of the Sword of Skills was not carried out without the intervention of Elisir. Otherwise, there are so many spellcasters in Cormanthor, how could it be possible for the members of the Galanord family to try it one by one first!

Although it is difficult for the outside world to know the specific details of the Excalibur Trial, over the years, there will always be some true, false or even confirmed news leaked out.

The most important one is that the first to pass the Divine Sword Trial is first served. Even if the later ones can pass and are better than the previous ones in all aspects, it will not help.

Once the divine sword has an owner, the next trial can only begin after the contemporary owner dies.

The lifespan of the master of the divine sword is generally far longer than that of a normal spellcaster. Even if a high-level mage is forced to stay in this world, he will be excluded due to factors such as age and identity.

Basically, if you miss it, you will be wrong forever.

Under such circumstances, without the intervention of King Elisir, how could other spellcasters be willing to let the mages of the Galanord family come first.

This is not King Mian's Sword of Rule. If you fail the test, you will die immediately. Even if you fail the test of the Sword of Skills, you will not die. There is no risk of death if you fail, and some casters are willing to try.

Once you succeed, you will immediately become a big shot in Cormanso!

Gru even made some malicious guesses that with the desire for power of the upper-ranking Cormanthor family, even a do-or-die trial like the Sword of Dominance might not be without a large number of participants.

But now it seems that the sword of skill has fallen into the hands of one family. Although the sword of war has not been passed down in one family, it has always stood unswervingly behind King Mian.

Could it be that King Ilyseer is willing to let his family become an ordinary high-ranking family in a few years? Or isn't he worried that his successor will launch a purge on his family?

Although he has accumulated unparalleled prestige and massive benefits after being in office for thousands of years, hatred and hostility will also continue to accumulate for thousands of years.

Even if Gru thinks he doesn't have much desire for power, if he is placed in the position of crowning the king of Ilisel, he will find a way to let the sword of dominance be passed down only to his own family.

The longer he reigns, the less he can retreat at will. The family's expectations and the enemy's threats require Ilisel to persevere or find a more secure way to inherit the family.

At this time, Gru saw that Cormanthor was so nervous about the disappearance of the little prince Ser. The team was led by the younger brother of another Excalibur holder and the little prince's uncle. It was difficult not to let go. People make associations.

Perhaps this is why King Pasteur was so cautious!

Gru actually doesn't want to think about these troublesome issues. As long as the blame is not thrown on his head, he won't bother to care about it!

Of course, if the other party puts the blame on Danzo, that will not be acceptable to him.

Thinking of this, Gru couldn't help but become a little anxious, "Messenger - uh, uncle, are we just sitting here and not caring about anything?"

"Don't worry, Sluvend discovered an ancient fortress not long ago, and all the elven countries are paying close attention to it. At this critical moment, Cormanthor doesn't dare to push us to the side of Erlan easily. We don't do anything, just The best thing to do.”

The envoy saw clearly that the most important thing at this time was to put aside suspicion, and the best way to put aside suspicion was to do nothing and let Cormanso investigate on his own.

Coupled with the recently discovered ancient fortress, Cormanso will naturally not easily provoke Danzo. What he is most worried about now is that someone in the arena has been bribed or seduced into actively participating in this matter, which will be troublesome.

However, he is not worried about Comanso deliberately framing him. If the frame-up is discovered, Comanso can almost immediately announce his withdrawal from the competition for the ancient fortress.

He already had no advantage, and he had offended external forces, so there was no room for him to speak.

…

While Cormanthor was busy tracking down clues to Ser's disappearance, Shado, one of the parties involved, had returned to Severton and handed over all the items carried by the elf to Gustav's Tower. Seven Towers.

Including a whole set of Nese scrolls. Hildalanna's previous prediction was correct. There is at least one golden page. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to find a set (ten pages).

Now, it's clear that Shado is lucky.

However, before this incident subsides, Shado cannot take this set of scrolls back for preservation. Badigal has given a guarantee that this set, and even more found later, will be handed over to Shizhi at the latest next year. Tower save.

The time limit is one hundred years agreed in advance.

While in Gustav Tower, Shado also received a message from Hildalanna. In addition to informing him that he had escaped, he also received an additional coordinate information.

Said to be one of the actual participants in the theft that year!

"It's actually in the territory of Nese!"

Chateau calculated the coordinates and roughly determined the location, which was not far south of Zenis. However, he did not confirm it himself. Instead, he handed the coordinates to Badigal and reminded:

"Hildalanna said that she has caught a participant in the incident that year. She should have been prepared for it, but we still have to be careful of the trap."

"Don't worry, I will arrange reliable personnel to act cautiously."
