The dinner will start after sunset, and guests can enter the palace at tea time. Burris' current identity is "Kreve", a young but highly valued apprentice of the mage. He has to change into clothes that are more in line with his identity and the style of young people, instead of dressing like old Burris.

After taking off the big cloak, Burris felt insecure as a shellless snail. He chose a light silver-gray dress with an indigo wind robe on the outside. This is a common match for a mage's dress. It can only be used in celebrations. The texture of the clothes is too heavy and hard, not comfortable enough and not suitable for going out. Easy to use.

In the eyes of other guests, Lot's identity is a mystery, and aesthetics is also a mystery.

His black hair was **** with a bright purple ribbon, and he was wearing a blue velvet gown and a rose gold robe. The golden pin on his shoulders was inlaid with tiny red pyroxene, and the stone formed a small dragon head. This is nothing. What's more terrifying is that he wears an elf-style dark green silver-rim belt with a pair of golden pants underneath. There are two rows of tassels on the left and right sides of the pants and dances gracefully with him... His whole body is the lowest. The tune is considered to be boots. It’s okay from a distance. It’s just pure black leather boots. When you look closer, you’ll find that the two sides of the boots are covered with pointed small crystals. Under strong light, each facet of the crystal will sparkle with a different color. .

This outfit didn't look like a mage apprentice, so Lot didn't need to pretend to be an apprentice. His invitation was written as "the messenger of the mage Burris", and the nobles and court attendants thought he was a nouveau riche landlord from the border merchants, and the mage of the tower of truth believed that he was a warlock holding Burris' thigh.

However, compared to the colorful Lott, the "Apprentice Kreve" is more eye-catching. Many people have guessed that he is the young apprentice in the rumor, the child who is related to the old necromancer. These eyes were within Burris's expectations, so he didn't mind too much. He knew that soon someone would contact him alone.

After wandering in the palace gardens and cloisters for a while, someone stopped him. The other party was a mage from the Tower of Truth in the capital. He was in his thirties, pale and tall, and was responsible for the daily affairs management of the large library. Burris had contacted her, and she seemed to be Haida.

Haida talked about the problem of book loan and took Burris slowly away from the other guests along the garden path. Originally, Burris was worried that Lott could not keep up. Looking around, Lott was secretly following them from other paths like a lynx stalking prey. He was still holding a cup of flower and fruit tea.

They followed Haida from the guard barracks to the servants' room, and then from the closed garden through the closed berry garden, and detoured a lot before reaching the back door of a certain palace. After entering, Haida said that he would stay on the first floor to rest and asked the two mage guests to go upstairs by themselves.

Estie was waiting for them in the lobby on the second floor. There are only her and a maid standing far away. The maid is the princess's confidant and already knows the princess's mage status. Today, Esther is not wearing a travel horse dress and a mage gown, but a rose-colored court lady dress. When she saw Burris, she was a little surprised, probably because Burris changed her clothes now, and she didn't look old. The mage was reborn, but he looked like a real twenty-year-old.

"Tutor," the princess lowered her voice, "I have to call you ‘Mr. Kreve’ when I’m outside today, and you have to call me your Highness."

"Of course I know, Your Highness." Burris glanced deep into the hall and opened to the corridor door, "Your cousin's business..."

"Sure enough, you also heard..."

Lott came over: "Did she really stabbed to death by durian?"

The princess showed an unbelievable expression: "Even the durian thing went out? No, she was not stabbed to death by durian...but there really is durian in this incident. It's weird to say, I..."

She paid attention to her surroundings. The maid in the distance looked into the corridor for her and made a gesture of okay before she continued: "I checked and she was cursed with suspended animation. There was no suspicious person at the scene. , The spell should be achieved through a preset trigger. I tried to help her dispel it, but failed."

Burris nodded: "I'll take a look later. What's the matter with durian?"

Esther led them into the corridor and came to a guest room. The guest rooms here were originally not used to entertain the prince’s daughter, and now this arrangement is just for confidentiality. Miss Tarina is in a special situation, and neither Her Majesty Pasia nor the Prince wants to cause riots.

The 13-year-old girl lay flat on the bed with her eyes closed. She was pale, her eye sockets were slightly sunken, her lips were pursed, and her chest did not rise or fall. She looked like she was dead. Sitting by her bed was a young man dressed in Chinese clothes. According to the introduction, this was Estie's cousin, Tarina's second brother, and the trainee knight Charles of the Knights of Silver Falcon.

Hearing that the visitor was the messenger of "Mage Burris", Shire's sad expression faded slightly. He stood up abruptly, Burris almost felt the lights in the room dimmed...The Charles was tall and strong, two heads higher and more than half a person wider than Burris. His appearance is mighty, but his face is still childish, I am afraid he is younger than "now" Burris.

The last time I saw such a strong young man, he was an orc. Burris thought silently.

After greeting the guests, Charles retracted to the bed and held his sister's hand, and said bitterly, "Mages, look at her. She was killed by an evil madman like this..."

"Tell me about this mad warlock." Burris said, casting a spell beside Tarina to check. Estie's judgment was completely correct, and the girl was indeed cursed with suspended animation.

Charles was sitting upright, showing his serious energy to report military information to the officer: "That's it. My father’s Silver Falcon is near the Lunar Mountains, and the Lunar Mountains once occupied some tribes of barbarians and orcs. They came from On the other side of the mountains, we always invade our defenses time and time again. Many years ago, my father led an army to conquer the bandits. It took him several years to drive those evil creatures back into the mountains, so that they would never invade human cities again. There were not only soldiers involved in the battle, but also some local civilian armed forces and a few spellcasters..."

Burris was familiar with the Battle of the Fallen Mountains. His arsenal has produced a large number of enchanted long-range weapons for this purpose, such as composite bows and one-handed crossbows that add magic damage, mountain chariots that can fire heavy crossbows, and magic flames that only kill creatures but do not ignite trees. Bao... Facing the orcs and barbarians, human infantry has no advantage in close combat, and the mountain battlefield is not suitable for cavalry formation, so archers using magic and enchanting weapons played an extraordinary role in that battle.

Charles continued: "Back then, my father had a warlock ally. Everyone called him the Red Vulture. Because he was red-haired and had very little hair left on his head. The man originally lived in a village near the mountains, and the villagers took him As a pastor, my father has never used to him, because he often used his talent to fool others. After the war, he was unexpectedly reliable, so my father changed his opinion and promised After winning the war, he will be invited to serve in the castle..."

When the young knight said this, Lott again committed the same old problem of interjecting: "I guess! As a result, your father repented after winning the war, causing the red vulture to retaliate against your family frantically..."

"It's not like that!" Charles said with a flushed face, "The Red Vulture did revenge on us, and he avenged it! After the war subsided, my father did not regret it. He really invited the Red Vulture to the castle. He was mad at first, but for some reason, he became more and more mad and couldn’t do almost any work... There were also one or two wizards who participated in the war. Those wizards also thought the red vulture was strange. They said he grew from weak to Qiang progressed too fast and it was abnormal, and it was also abnormal for him to suddenly become weak. It's a pity that I didn't understand the chats of the mages, and I could only understand this point roughly..."

Burris gently urged him to focus on the point: "So, did this madman hurt your sister Tarina?"

Charles said: "He must be the one who did it. Things will start shortly after my sister was born... When Tarina was about to full moon, my parents held a celebration in the castle and invited the nearby squires and Friends who participated in the war..."

Lott interrupted again: "I heard that people usually celebrate like this when they give birth to their first child. Your sister is the third...Do your parents celebrate after giving birth to your brother and you?"

Charles answered honestly: "All celebrate. We hold carnivals throughout the city and celebrate all day and night."

"Why is this? Local customs?"

"No, because I have money."

"... OK, you continue."

The young knight continued: "My father did not invite the red vulture at this celebration. To be more precise, the red vulture is no longer able to participate in such activities... He is mentally abnormal, often talking nonsense, and no one is looking after him and cannot go out , My father set up a shift guard outside his house door, and there were soldiers staring at him not to let him run around. At the celebration, the soldiers on duty were a bit slack, so the red vulture ran out and broke in all the way After leaving the banquet hall, there was a riot in front of all the guests... He accused my father of failing to keep his promise, and clamored that he would use 800 fireballs to overthrow the castle or something... At this time, it was still baby Tarina. Frightened to cry by his strange scream, he noticed Tarina and yelled to curse her..."

Burris wanted to laugh, so he had to hold back desperately, keeping his solemn expression: "Uh...Is the red vulture cursing your sister to be stabbed to death by a spindle in the future?"

"Of course it's not a spindle!" Lott replied for the boy. "The warlock must have been stabbed to death by durian."

Charles nodded: "Yes. He was talking about durians. The table in front of him was a durian shipped from Quintilia. He wanted to grab the durian and throw it at my father, but it hurt his hands. ...So he dropped the durian, pointed to my sister and said, "I curse this child with the power of elements. When she grows up, she will be stabbed in her finger by durian and die!"

Go to his elemental power, the one in Tarina is clearly a necromantic spell. Burris tried his best to control the disdain on his face.

At this time, Lot's curiosity reminded everyone: "Here, this thing shouldn't be over yet? There should be other spellcasters at the banquet. At this time, someone should stand up and claim to be able to break the curse of the madman... "

"Yes! There is such a person!" Charles said, "My father was very angry and asked the soldiers to drag the red vulture down. At this time, a mage stood up. It was an elf mage, a guest of my father. Also participated in the battle to expel the orcs..."

Burris was taken aback. As far as he knows, there is only one wizard wizard who participated in the Battle of the Fallen Moon Mountains...

"Is it a male elf, his name is Black Pine?"

"Yes, it's him."

Hearing Charles' answer, Burris felt a pain, feeling very sorry for the innocent victim Tarina. "That wizard mage...what did he do?" Burris asked weakly.

Charles said: "He told my parents not to worry, he would prevent Tarina from death. He left a spell on Tarina so that she would not die when she was stabbed by durian, but fell into a magical suspended animation. He also said that there will always be someone who can completely rescue her during her suspended animation...Later, for safety reasons, our castle no longer imports durians. Tarina has never seen durians. Until yesterday, she was there. While wandering around in the palace, I saw the goods sent by the Fruit and Vegetable Chamber..."

very good. Hey Pine, you are doing very well. Burris buried his face in the palms of his hands and did not speak for a long time.

The madman probably didn't understand curses. His increasing madness and power fluctuations are indeed strange. If necessary in the future, Burris would like to take the time to investigate... Only for the "curse of durian", this warlock does not have a word to kill others. Ability. That curse was just crazy talk, and Hey Song took it seriously without investigating, so he put a real trigger curse on the girl-when she was stabbed by durian, the fake death curse on her would take effect .

Charles asked nervously, "Mr. Master, can you save her?"

Burris can certainly save her. He knows how to do it, but he is doomed to fail now... or because that **** soul is out of tone. The good news is that the Bone Maharaja can use magic to lift this curse—just like when saving a dying black pine.

The mage looked at Lott beside him, who guessed what he meant and licked his lips deliberately.

"I can save her," Burris sighed with his shoulders collapsed. "However, your Royal Highness and Sir Charles...you need to avoid it."
