Lin Li had no idea what Old Grimm had in mind. He was extremely anxious now.
After returning to the Emerald Tower, both of them had been trying to contact Gerian, but the crystal ball did not show any sign of the Demon Fall Valley. The crystal ball of the Emerald Tower was placed by Gerian himself. It was connected to the Demon Fall Valley through hundreds of Warlock's Eyes. If only there was one Warlock's Eye, this situation would not have happened.
Moreover, the Warlock's Eye was only a level-10 spell. With Gerian's level-15 Archmage strength, it would not take him much effort to supplement it.
The crystal ball did not respond at all. It could only mean that the battle in the Demon Fall Valley was far more intense than the news Kevin brought.
"What should we do?" After waiting in the guild hall for an hour, Kevin's expression had become unnatural.
"Let's wait and see." Lin Li hesitated for a moment. "If there is still no news by tomorrow morning, we must make a trip to the Demon Fall Valley."
"Yes!"
Both of them waited beside the crystal ball until it was almost midnight. Just when both of them were burning with anxiety, the crystal ball that had been silent finally lit up!
"Felic, look, there's news!"
"I saw it!"
Both of them rushed over at the same time and saw Gerian's fat face.
In the image, Gerian looked extremely haggard. His usually rosy chubby face was now frighteningly pale, and his breathing was a little rapid. This was the result of over-exhaustion of his mental strength. The old man first removed a few strands of grass stuck in his hair and forced a smile at the two of them. Only then did he say weakly, "Good morning …"
"…"
"What exactly happened?" Lin Li was anxious to death. He was not in the mood to greet him.
"What else could it be …" Gerian rolled his eyes. "It's the little brats from the Shadow's Nest who are looking for trouble. They insisted on coming to the Demon Fall Valley to cause trouble."
"What about now?"
"Now? I just brought people to beat them up. I guess they can rest for another 10 days. Eiserhol, that b * tch, really doesn't know how to spell the word 'death'. Just you wait, I will destroy the Shadow's Nest sooner or later … "
Seeing that Gerian still had the energy to brag, the two of them who had been waiting in the hall for half the night finally felt a little relieved.
"It's good that you're fine. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it when we get back. I've been waiting for you for most of the night, and I'm about to die from exhaustion. Take your time to replenish your Warlock Eyes, I'm going to sleep first …"
"Uncle, I'm going to sleep too …"
"Hey! Hey! I haven't finished yet … You two little bastards, you're too outrageous! "
…
At noon the next day, Gerian returned to the Emerald Tower.
Gerian walked into the guild hall with a murderous look on his face. He looked around to find out where Kevin was. Unfortunately, Kevin knew that he would come back today, so he hid out of the Guild of Magic early in the morning. Gerian couldn't find him in the Emerald Tower after searching for a long time. In the end, he had no choice but to knock on Lin Li's door.
"So early?" After waiting for news for most of the night yesterday, Lin Li did not wake up until noon today. When he opened the door for Gerian, he was still sleepy.
"After I replenished the Warlock Eyes, I rushed back overnight. I'm so tired that I can't even open my eyes …" Gerian walked into the door and lay down on Lin Li's bed without saying a word. He did not care how the owner of the room protested. "It's so comfortable to lie down …"
"Forget it, you sleep first. I'll let you have the bed …"
"No, I can't sleep yet." Gerian lay for a while, then sat up on the bed. "The more I think about the Demon Fall Valley, the more I feel that something is wrong. If I don't get to the bottom of this, I won't sleep today!"
"What's wrong?"
"The Warlock Eyes." Probably because he was too tired, Gerian's voice sounded a little hoarse. "Damn it, there were so many Warlock Eyes. Even I might not be able to remember their positions clearly. How would the people from the Shadow's Nest know?"
"Anyway, there must be something wrong with this matter. 125 Warlock Eyes were destroyed almost at the same time. After that, the people from the Shadow's Nest came and killed more than 10 mages in the blink of an eye. If I didn't act in time, I don't know how long this matter would last …"
"Could it be … that they also had mages?"
"That's a little possible. The Shadow's Nest has indeed been expanding fiercely these few years, and most likely recruited a few scums …" Gerian thought for a while, and then shook his head to deny this guess. "But it's still not right. Those were 125 Warlock Eyes. Even if I acted myself, I might not be able to destroy them at the same time. If the Shadow's Nest really had such a powerful person, why would they need to launch a sneak attack?
"Apart from the Warlock Eyes, there's another thing that's not normal … These few years, because of the Shadow's Nest, I can be said to have put in a lot of effort in the Demon Fall Valley. Apart from the 125 Warlock Eyes, I also set up about another 20 sentry posts. But last night, these 20 sentry posts seemed to be non-existent. The people from the Shadow's Nest sneaked in all the way, and I didn't receive any news at all …"
Hearing this, Lin Li somewhat understood what Gerian was trying to say. The Warlock Eyes were suddenly destroyed, and the people from the Shadow's Nest had mastered the route to bypass the sentry posts. Almost all the signs pointed to the interior of the Guild of Magic.
"Traitor!" Gerian gritted his teeth and made his judgment. "There's definitely a traitor!"
"No wonder you rushed back early in the morning …"
"I had no choice. If I don't get rid of these guys, I'm afraid there'll be a bigger disaster."
"You have a clue?"
"Not yet, but it's not difficult to investigate this matter. Those who can access the secret of the Warlock Eyes, apart from you, Kevin, and me, the others have to at least be Magic Shooters. Think carefully, among the many Magic Shooters in the Guild, who are the most likely to betray the Guild?"
"Or rather, who are the people who are dissatisfied with you?" At this point, Lin Li already had some understanding.
"That's right!"
For a moment, both of them were energized. Gerian did not sleep, either. The old and the young conspired in the bedroom to catch the traitor. The discussion between the two of them lasted until almost evening. When Gerian could not take it anymore, Lin Li helped him pull up the blanket and quietly walked out of the bedroom.
