Back to the three archmages, ophilius and the Archmage volunteered to investigate the movements of the orcs on the west road. After defeating the lukanir Kingdom, more than 100000 orcs did not attack the dwarves immediately, but hid their tracks, like a sharp blade hanging over their heads, making people restless.
Yakosta can''t go to the fortress for support. This arrangement is also helpless. Originally, according to the expertise of the three people, it''s best for yakosta, who is very mobile, and ephalus, who is very good at collecting intelligence, to investigate and pursue the orcs and find out their purpose.
The Archmage who is good at elements and energy can give full play to his powerful firepower and bombard the orcs when he doesn''t set a fortress. However, due to the phase problem, Acosta and ophilius can''t be separated at all. I''m afraid they have to fight before they find the orcs.
The Archmage and Acosta were not sure to let ephalus act alone, so they could only make this somewhat inefficient task assignment.
"Well, have you found any sign of orcs?" the Archmage is really not good at investigating and seeking the enemy. Moreover, he is not confident about ephalus and does not dare to stay away from each other. His investigation scope is completely covered by ephalus, so it becomes an embarrassment like a pendant.
"Not at all. There should be demons to help clean up the traces, otherwise there won''t be no clues at all. However, I found the clues of another group of orcs. It should be the group that helped humans get back the sun scepter. Do you want to catch up and have a look?"
Yakosta moved his hand away from a big tree as he spoke. The magic he developed is really magical. He can communicate with all things. Touching this big tree alone can communicate with all kinds of animals and plants in the whole forest.
"CROM and his party have nothing to do with our purpose. Your idea is very strange. Why should you pursue them?" the Archmage answered ephraius with a dull look and asked with a little vigilance.
"Are you so alert to me? I''m just making suggestions. There''s no need to interpret too much. Do we continue to move towards the south?"
"There is a mountain in the East. The orcs are likely to hide there. Go there and have a look. In addition, you''d better not leave magic marks everywhere!"
Ophilius raised his eyebrow and replied without nervousness: "you found it. I think it''s still hidden. It seems that the title of ''hidden Sage'' needs to be changed!"
"I don''t want to spy on you like the enemy, but I''m not blind! You leave traces everywhere. No matter the demon proficient in magic or the traitor Soren can find us, don''t underestimate them!"
"Or... Did you deliberately leave a signal to them?" the Archmage was restrained and just asked in a serious tone. It was estimated that yakosta had taken out his staff and was ready to do it.
"I have my work style. I can''t find the enemy many times. It''s also a good idea to let the enemy find us. As long as my magic mark is turned over, I will detect it at the first time! I will automatically record the enemy''s position and destroy other marks, which can search the enemy and don''t expose myself!"
The Archmage began to hesitate. Should he trust his compatriots to approve his explanation? Finally, the Archmage decided not to have conflict.
"... at least you should inform me in advance. The reason why you are not trusted is that you often act without notice. You hide your actions too deeply!"
After hearing this, ophilius replied with a smile, "I''m not trusted because I hide something? There''s really no way, just because I don''t trust others to hide something!"
"Irtylan, don''t you know the secret of the Queen''s continuous rebirth? And Soren''s brush around the east continent. Who do you think sent him the signal?"
"The enemy is around us, lurking among those usually amiable compatriots. The most important thing is that the queen is also subtly untrustworthy!"
The Archmage finally heard the voice of ophilius. Everyone has his own style of doing things. There are indeed traitors in the elves. It can''t be said that ophilius guesses and suspects that others are wrong.
"You told me this, it seems you believe me?" the Archmage felt his beard and thought it was great that yakosta wasn''t here. Maybe he shouldn''t have let this smelly guy act together in the beginning. Without him, ephalus might have dispelled his doubts long ago.
"No, what I trust is the rigid guy of yakosta. He doesn''t know how to change and hide. What he thinks is shown on his face. On the contrary, you are a guy who has been smiling against an old grandpa''s face. You are obviously vigilant in your heart, and I deliberately close the relationship!"
"Or if yakosta trusts you very much, I won''t act with you, the most lethal violent mage!"
The Archmage felt as if he had been hit in a circle on his chest. Something was very uncomfortable but couldn''t spit out. Was he the one who had the opposite effect? Thanks to him, he always feels good!
Just when the Archmage wanted to refute a few words and spray ophilius to vent his emotions, he saw that ophilius suddenly changed his look, "I found that my demon has found the trend of the orcs, which is in the canyon in the East!"
"Is there any other information? Don''t hide it now?"
"No, I have sent hundreds of envoys, with a wide number and range, but I can only rely on instinctive action and observation. More detailed information needs to be further searched. Wait a minute. I''ll call an element servant to inquire."
The Archmage stopped the action of ephalus. Although it''s better to be cautious and make the magic servant follow, it''s also easy to scare the snake and be deceived. It''s better to go out in person.
"Let''s go straight. Your name is so loud that we can cover up our breath?"
"Yes, but your guarantee can''t mess around. You can''t do it without reaching a consensus. We''re here to investigate!"
In fact, the Archmage really wants to have a meteorite paste his face. Especially after Harold told about Soren''s "glorious deeds", the terrain of the canyon sounds very suitable for meteorite art!
From the perspective of magic (meteorology) or research (ancient war trees), it can be concluded that the Archmage has a guy who likes violent aesthetics. Of course, ophilius should put an end to this situation.
"I see. I promise that even if you want to do it, you won''t be involved after you completely find out the details and purpose of the enemy!"
After receiving the Archmage''s reply, ophilius put his hand on the Archmage''s shoulder. With the surge of magic, the Archmage felt that his body began to change and shrink, and soon became a little sparrow!
And ophilius also slowly became a gopher. He said with sound transmission: "you fly inadvertently from the sky, observe the scene and record it. I dig a hole in the ground, listen to the sound and store it, and then combine the information!"
The Archmage waved his wings back and forth in the posture of a sparrow, and even flew around very freely. He couldn''t help but sigh that he was really an expert. No matter how clever he disappeared, he could be found. On the contrary, the swaggering movement of this transformed small animal would not be suspected if it was found!
At this time, the Archmage can feel that his body has really become a sparrow, not a simple magic camouflage. He has all the characteristics of sparrows. This magic is amazing. Sure enough, this guy is unfathomable!
