Lance closed the small wooden door and immediately blocked the cold wind and snow outside the door.

Dora placed a coat covered with a thick layer of snowflakes on the clothes rack and sat casually on the sofa in the living room.

"I didn't expect this cabin to look so narrow from the outside, but so wide inside." Dora said to Lance with a smile: "Sister Alice told you my name... then you should know why I came?"

Lance thought to himself that Alice didn't mention you to me at all.

But he said calmly on the surface:

"Not yet, Alice just mentioned it a little, but I'm not very clear about the specific matters."

"Well, it's okay. Anyway, I'm here today, and I'm going to explain things clearly in person."

Dora took the cup of hot black tea handed over by Lance and said gratefully: "Thank you."

She took a slight taste, and her originally pale face showed a hint of cute blush.

"Mr. Lance, as a disciple of Lord Caterina, you must know the origin of Ferundor, right?" Dora said slowly after making up his mind.

"The origin of Ferrondor?" Lance's heart moved. In this regard, he really didn't know much background.

Seeing Lance showing a puzzled expression, Dora smiled slightly: "Ferendor has a long history, but the birthplace of his witchcraft is actually another mysterious place - Guwanlun."

"Puppet City?" Lance couldn't help blurting out.

"That's true. A long time ago, when the Puppet City had not been ruled by puppets, it was a land ruled by the king of wizards. Ferrondor was just a gathering place for Guwanlun's branches. All the spells we have learned now actually originated from Guwanlun's arcane inheritance." Dora said quickly: "The demise of Guwanlun has always been an eternal mystery for the scholars of Ferrondor."

"People are very surprised why such a powerful wizarding world collapsed and separated overnight - but judging from the current situation of the Puppet City, Wanlun's collapse must have a close relationship with these puppets and the wizard king at that time being addicted to puppets."

Lance nodded. It was not the first time he heard of this view; it was just that Ferrondor's magic inheritance has been passed down since ancient times, and he did not see any relevant records.

But Dora was very clear, and Lance learned that behind this girl was actually a family that had been destroyed for many years but had a long history, and it was not unreasonable to have some secrets in her hands.

"So, you come to me today. What does it have to do with these things?" Lance said in a deep voice.

To be honest, Dora's visit was unexpected. He originally thought that his fate with this girl was limited to a time when he was in the Barker Manor. He didn't expect that she knew Alice, and he didn't expect that Alice would tell Dora where he lived when she left. This made him feel a little strange.

"Don't worry." Dora thought for a while, as if she was sorting out her head: "My family is a family with a long history... a senior who has a long history, has witnessed the demise of Gu Wanlun with his own eyes."

"After the destruction of Wanlun, many spells lost their inheritance. Although Ferendor continued to develop, it has not reached the level of witchcraft of Ancient Wanlun a thousand years ago. At that time, many high-level wizards fled Wanlun with treasures. Most of these people flew away, and only a few people - those who firmly believed that the Wizard King would lead them to rebuild Wanlun, they stayed. They lived around Ferendor, dealt with the inherent wizard forces here, and shared their magic experiences with them. At the same time, they established a wizard family one after another, trying to wait for the Wizard King's return and summoning."

"But in the long river of history, no matter how powerful the wizard is, he cannot completely resist the passage of time. The wizard king did not return in the end, and the six wizards who were left behind eventually grew old. They passed on the mission of rebuilding Guwanlun from generation to generation, just like a torch."

"These six wizards have established six wizard families, and my family is one of them. However, in a conspiracy more than ten years ago, my family was destroyed by a hostile family. They occupied our estate and all our wealth."

Lance listened silently, and asked the fox to record these important information one after another.

"But they don't know that the most important castle of my family, [Sivare], is still standing in a place beyond their sight... It is a semi-plane, and I have only recently found the entrance to Sivare under the call of my ancestors." Dora looked up at Lance and said bitterly: "It's a pity that I can't open Sivare, and I can't face the possible dangers in it, so I need some friends to help."

"I don't have many friends, and Sister Alice is one of them. We had already contacted each other, and we went to Sivare together just when I found the rest of the staff. Who knew that Sister Alice found me the day before yesterday and said that she was leaving Ferrendor and could not help me. I was shocked at the time, but she quickly recommended a candidate to me, and she promised me that that person would be more trustworthy and better than her."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Lance's mouth: "That person is me?"

"Yes." Dora nodded, with some confusion in her eyes: "Actually, when Sister Alice first proposed your name, I didn't believe it. After all, Mr. Lance, although you are low-key, your performance in the second round of the qualifiers for Blood Sails is impressive - to be honest, I endured it for a long time before I could resist calling out the slightly disrespectful synonym of [Fireball Man]."

"What I need is a companion with high mana and rich experience. If it is a mage who only knows how to play fireballs... I'm afraid it's not suitable to participate in this adventure." Dora put down the black tea cup and said seriously: "But Alice repeatedly promised me that you are definitely not as superficial as you seem. So I changed my mind and chose to believe her vision, and of course, the vision of that third-level wizard."

"Here, I solemnly invite you to participate in this adventure with me. From the classics left by my ancestors, I have found that not only are there countless treasures left in Sivare, but most importantly, there is a gate leading to the mystery of the ancient Wanlun magic that burys of the Wizard King. I promise you that in this adventure, everything else obtained, except a golden sword that is very important to me, will be divided equally by everyone." Dora invited with anticipation.

Who knew that the scene she expected that Lance agreed to did not appear, and the man in front of her actually showed a hint of hesitation!

"I'm sorry, but although your description is full of sensational words, I know nothing about this adventure apart from that. What I can get is also an unknown number. You have not mentioned any dangers we will encounter..." Lance spread his hands: "I'm rude, I'm not interested in this adventure you said."

"What?" Dora's face immediately became extremely embarrassed.

She originally thought that as long as she came to the door and told the whole story of the matter, Lance would definitely agree. Gu Wanlun's treasure, as long as he was a wizard, he would probably be furious about it, right?!

The three partners she found before were basically very smooth. The only thing she had to do was to test their character and ability. Who knew that when the last one, Alice would not say that she would go to the Sea of ​​Netherworld, Lance, the candidate who replaced him, actually told her that she was not happy!

Dora's little head immediately became a little out of running.

She asked in surprise: "The mystery of Gu Wanlun's magic? Are you not moved at all? Or are you doubting my character? Or are you the authenticity of the content of my words?"

Lance shook his head slowly: "We wizards are pursuing powerful witchcraft. Who doesn't want Wanlun's spells? But as you see, I'm very busy lately. The battle for blood sails is enough for me, and there are some other things. If you want to push all this out for the time being and get out to help you open the door of Sivare - I need at least some reasonable reward, not those that are false, but visible."

"So it's a greedy man!" Dora said angrily: "Since you are not interested, I'll go find someone else!"

"I wish you all the best adventures." Lance calmly picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, as if he was seeing off the guests.

As a result, Dora stared at her big eyes and sat there angrily, motionless.

Lance said curiously: "What's wrong?"

"Greedy Ghost!" Dora gritted her teeth and said, "Is a silver time pocket watch enough?"

Lance smiled: "It seems you really didn't deceive me. Your friends are indeed not many."

...

After Dora left, Lance continued to study the high-temperature soldering iron. Lance did not lie, and he was indeed not particularly interested in Guwanlun's spells.

He has too many things to do at the moment. However, because Dora gave a considerable reward, and the time between Sivare and the blood sails were staggered, he reluctantly chose to agree.

On the cold snow, Lance stood solemnly.

A low spell sounded, and soon, an orange-red rune appeared on his chest. The rune looked very strange, with some complex patterns and patterns in the center, and a pair of wings grew on both sides.

Lance threw the steel ball in the center of the rune, and the next second, a loud bang exploded with the flames.

Fifty steps away, a disrepaired tombstone was directly smashed!

"This kind of power is very ordinary." Lance frowned, but was a little dissatisfied.

He experimented several times and found that the effect of the small steel balls did not seem to be ideal.

"Maybe you can try to replace the steel ball with other types?" In the snow, Lance began to analyze the characteristics of this spell, "Maybe... can I change this rune?"
