Chapter 86 The New Massacre

"Yes, that's it." The thinner Samoel nodded and replied: "Just two days ago, another tragedy occurred in the border area between Farral and the Neutral Land. This time, four neighboring villages were massacred in a row, with about 800 ordinary people dead, and none of the four villages survived by chance."

"All dead?" Catherine frowned and asked, "Is the death situation exactly the same as the previous few times? They are all dead of old age?"

"I don't know much about this." Samoel hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I have never seen it with my own eyes, I have heard from familiar friends. According to them, everyone should be lying on the bed when they die, as if they were killed in their sleep at night, and their deaths were almost the same, and they all looked like they were old and could hardly move around."

"Together again." Catherine's hand unconsciously stroked the hilt of the knight's sword at her waist, and said in a daze: "Have you switched to a neutral place this time? It seems that these people are really an indiscriminate attack."

"Strange, why didn't Freya hear this news in the morning?" Vivian did not enter a state of loss of mind this time, and listened very seriously, so he could ask keenly: "Don't the Magister Guild know about this?"

"It's probably because we both came here faster." Samoel said: "Our territories are small territories closest to the border, close to Faral, and the news I just heard this morning. As for the internal transmission channels of the lords from all over Butte, the speed should be the fastest, so I probably rushed to the front of the news network of the Mage Guild. I guess that's the case. As for whether it's really like this, I don't know."

"That should be true." Vivian nodded and agreed: "I'll go to the guild tomorrow morning to ask. There should be detailed information. I just don't know how detailed it is. By the way, was this incident born the day before yesterday?"

"Yeah, the night before yesterday." Samoel replied, "Then he was only seen yesterday morning. It is said that the person who appeared was timid. He was almost scared to death on the spot. Think about it carefully, hundreds of people died of old age in bed together, and the scene was indeed too strange."

"Did you hear any other relevant information?" Moore asked in a singing rhythm: "For example, in the village near the scene of the tragedy. There have been news about mages appearing recently, even if it is just rumors that the authenticity cannot be confirmed."

"I don't know this." Samoel was still a little curious about the legendary elves singer in front of him. The elves in the Kingdom of Mages are not very rare. After all, the forest mages of the elves are also one of the three major sects of mages. Now the connections between the mages of various schools are getting closer and closer. The exchanges between them are becoming more and more frequent. It is not particularly strange to see elves in the Kingdom of Mages, or to see human mages in the Court of Elf Kings. However, other elves professions are not common in the Kingdom of Mages. Due to geographical differences, elves who like trees and forests are very disliked on the plateau.

That kind of environment with only meadows and shrubs, and he doesn't like the relatively thin air on the plateau, so few elves would come to the country of mountain for no reason, let alone the chanter under the Saint of Yeda, one of the elves gods. No wonder Samoel was curious. However, curiosity was curiosity. The lord of the golden rank did not express his curiosity, and he still replied normally: "The time the message was transmitted was too short, and we had a fixed itinerary, which was not convenient for changing, so we did not have too much time to collect relevant clues, and even the trueness of this message was not time to verify."

"Okay, it turns out that it is unverified news." Fat wizard Jonnas offended many of his colleagues in the first half of his life because of his impatient personality and lack of knowing how to interact with others. So several friends explicitly prohibited him from speaking on such occasions, so during the conversation, he kept trying to act as a background, pretending that he was just a piece of harmless furniture. But now he couldn't help it. He whispered to his friends: "I used unverified news to deceive me. If I believe it, I ran over to study it stupidly, but it turned out that nothing had happened. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

"Shut up." Samoel glared at his friend fiercely, forcing him to complain regardless of the occasion and time. He turned and smiled bitterly, "My masters are really sorry, my friend was a little rude when he was young. But don't worry, although he has not verified the true degree of the news, the tragedy is indeed reliable. I can guarantee this point. As for the specific number of deaths, the number of villages involved, and the time of birth, I cannot be sure of the content, after all, it has not been verified."

"I wasn't blown up." Jonas gritted his teeth and retorted, but he was still a little rational and did not argue with his friends on the spot. Catherine did not show off some master's behavior. He did not blame Jonas for his inexperience in the world. Instead, he covered his mouth and chuckled: "Since that's the case, I won't disturb the interest of the two lords. We will go to the Magister Guild to find out the specific news tomorrow. Thank you for your advice. Oh, by the way, I just said that I would exchange information, but I don't know how much the two lords knew about this matter and what they wanted to know. It doesn't matter. Even if you ask, we will try our best to answer except for some content that needs to be kept confidential."

In fact, this meeting, Catherine felt very embarrassed. On one hand, she was a young legendary profession who could be called a master, and on the other hand, she was an older ordinary golden profession. Catherine was very confused about what attitude to face the other party. If it was okay in other areas, she would stand in the perspective of a young man and communicate with her attitude of respecting the elders but having the same identity. In this way, those older but lower-strength elders would not be unhappy. But here is in the Land of the Mages, Catherine knew very well.

This country is a country controlled by a mage, or to put it more general, it is the only country controlled by professions and a very small number of ordinary scholars. Such a country attaches great importance to strength and academic achievements. Therefore, in the country of mages, the respect of legendary professions is much higher than that of gold-level professions, and the gold-level professions are also much higher than that of silver-level professions. Among professions of the same level, the respect of mages is the highest, and the remaining professions can only be below mages.

In this way, most of the time, there will be no wrong communication posture and lose its effect. After all, it is not always the best choice to maintain equality between the two parties. Sometimes it will make the other party feel panicked or even unhappy, resulting in bad results. Therefore, after Katherine was entangled, she could only try to deal with it based on Samoel's reaction and maintain a polite enough. It seems that the other party is most used to this posture and will not have a strong sense of incongruity.

But the Knight Girl didn't know that the other party was actually very embarrassed. These two mage lords actually lived in their own world all year round, rarely talked to strangers, and rarely contacted strangers. Therefore, they were not very used to communicating with outsiders. Most of these people appeared among some fanatical scholars and mages. They locked themselves in the laboratory almost every day, either studying academics or magic models. The people they met in a year might not be as much as most people saw in a day. Letting such people contact strangers is simply a torture. Fortunately, Samoel is slightly better than Jonnas, and it is not too much.

He was wrong, but after a short conversation, he felt that he had reached his limit. He was fully expecting that the strange masters in front of him would leave quickly. At this time, he heard that Catherine had the intention to end the conversation, and he didn't care about the curiosity of his friend Jonnas. He said quickly: "Well, no need, we are just curious. There is nothing really to know, and we don't waste the precious time of all the masters. The masters must have important things to talk about, and we also have other things to do, so we say goodbye first. I hope that the masters can have a happy night and wish the masters can find out the news they want tomorrow."

"Uh, two gentlemen." Catherine smiled bitterly, knowing that the appearance of her and her group had an impact on the other party, she could only say with apologies: "I'm really sorry, it seems that our arrival has disturbed the original interest of the two wizards. I hope you can forgive our recklessness."

"No, no, no, we really have something else." Samoel secretly kicked his old friend: "Right, we still have to see Derrick. Now it's too late if we don't leave."

"Ah? Oh, yes, yes." Jonas, who was confused, finally woke up in Samoel's gaze of eating people, and said in cooperation: "Yes, we still have to see Derrick, which is a very important thing. Well, isn't Derrick still on his floating island? Did he follow him?"

"If you don't shut up, I'll help you freeze them." Samoel almost wanted to strangle his companions to death. Although Jonas's voice was a whisper, he didn't think that the legendary masters would not hear it, but there was no other way at this time. He could only pretend that others hadn't heard it, and said with a dry smile: "That's it. We have to meet with friends. It's almost time to agree, so it's not the problem of the masters."

"Okay, I understand." Catherine said with a helpless smile: "Then I won't cause trouble for the two gentlemen. I hope you can have a good mood tonight, good night."
