"What do you mean that you have not been seen for so long, and as soon as you reappeared, you brought a stranger to me?

In the secret VIP room of the Crystal Capital, the night shadow that suddenly appeared from the shadows looked at the sword of benevolence on the sofa with some annoyance, and the blonde youth next to him who was eating a snack on the coffee table with an indifferent face. The blond young man also looked at this strange woman who appeared there out of nowhere.

"Don't mind, this is my new subordinate, Druifell, absolutely loyal, absolutely capable. It's just that he has lived in a wild place since he was a child, so I specially brought him to this kind of flower world to open his eyes. If you're not happy with his outfit, give him a suitable. And I've done so much for you, shouldn't you give me the arcane materials and resources we've agreed on in advance?"

"No problem. But what kind of materials and resources do you want?" Nightshade sat down across from Phil, who seemed to have some interest in the strange and unusually handsome blonde young man, his slender thighs cocked, his sculptural curved body under his bodysuit, and only his head and face were hidden in the darkness that seemed to never change.

The Sword of Benevolence thought for a moment and said what he requested: "... Well... I need arcane information to make the High Clergy an archmage. It's not the cleric who starts to transform into an arcanalist again, but the archmage while retaining the essence of the clergy. ”

Nightshade was picking up a juice drink and was snorting, and when she heard this, she seemed to squirt out some, but she couldn't see clearly in the darkness. She paused, and asked in a somewhat amused, somewhat annoying voice, "How is this possible? You have some arcane knowledge, okay? Your request is as whimsical as asking a turtle to grow wings." ”

"Don't the Arcanists all claim that the Arcane is omnipotent? It's not difficult for the Necromantic System to put on the wings of the turtle and the frog, right?" said the Sword of Benevolence, shaking his head again and again. "Don't let poverty and narrow-mindedness limit your imagination. Didn't some archmage say that imagination is more important than knowledge. Try to stretch your imagination and think about whether there is anything you can do about it, and if you can't think of it yourself, go back and ask your boss and others. ”

"It's useless to ask anyone. It's not imagination, it's crankiness. Clergy and Arcanist are already different in nature, perhaps ignorant civilians seem to be the same as Arcane and Arcane can shine and create all kinds of strange scenes and effects, but in essence there is a fundamental difference, Arcane is based on the casting network according to the established program arrangement rules, according to various ways of weaving to create almost infinite malleability, Divine Art is a direct communication of high-dimensional aggregates, primitive and direct, in essence, the power is greater than that of Arcane, but the nature of the high-dimensional aggregates of gods is also destined to be more narrow。 Their power systems are completely different, they are completely different existences. If it is possible for a cleric to learn some low-level arcane arts at the beginning stage, it is completely impossible at the advanced stage. The spirit of the high-ranking priest is more and more inclined to the gods, and the spirit of the archmage is fused with the magic net. It's like going from two people to two different villages from the same place, and at first they can talk to each other and see each other, but as they go farther and farther, it becomes more difficult to get in touch, and when they go to their respective goals, it is even more impossible to contact each other. You said that you want to be an archmage while maintaining the essence of a high-ranking priest, which is simply impossible to exist in two villages at the same time. ”

"Not necessarily. The blonde young man who was peeling pine nuts suddenly spoke. "Aren't you using arcane methods to harness divine magic, and even the High Priestess of the Night Lady is nowhere near as skilled in the use of the Law of Shadows as you are. ”

The night image only jumped up like a wild cat that had been poked at the point, and the darkness that had only shrouded her head and face instantly expanded and spread, enveloping the whole person in it, floating like a shadow monster ready to choose someone to devour.

"What? really?" the Sword of Benevolence's eyes lit up and looked at Phil. "I wonder why she's a clergyman, and she's leading a group of arcanists to do these things. It seems that your druid's sense of magic stick is really good. ”

"It's not a magic stick perception, you can see it at a glance. She obviously uses the authority of the Night Lady, but she does not have the self-discipline of a Night Lady's followers, and she generously reveals her existence in front of us, but she hides her face again. And I can feel that she didn't pray to the Night Lady when she used her powers, and she was still talking to you about arcane arts, isn't that a natural inference...... I don't know exactly how, but the arcane research trend at the end of the Imperial Age was all about harnessing and manipulating the power of the gods..."

"Haha, do you hear me? I, a hillbilly from a poor country, can see through it at a glance and draw inferences, what else do you have to say? Then you immediately go and report my request to your superiors, and let them think of a way. ”

Floating in mid-air, the night shadow hidden in the darkness was speechless. The two men seemed to have no idea of her tension at all, one was still eating pine nuts there unhurriedly, and folding the pine nut shells neatly on the table as if they were bored, and the other was triumphantly pointing at her.

Then the Nightshadow slowly fell from mid-air as if deflated, and the darkness that enveloped her body shrank back to the point between her head and face. Although this eccentric young druid told her biggest secret, the two of them should not know the deep meaning of this, and it seems that they should still be able to cooperate with each other.

What really frustrated her was that she suddenly realized that even if she really wanted to make a move, she didn't have a chance of winning. Needless to say, this druid who can see through the source of her power at a glance does not seem to be something she can deal with, although she is not a real priest, but the power she has is better than many clergy, she can feel that the wind element around this druid seems to have life, this is the element and life resonance form that only real great druids can have.

Of course, this is not to say that the organization behind her is really unable to deal with these two people. The power of the organization is actually very large in Oroyosta, but there are many constraints and inconveniences in its use, her identity is delicate, but the actual power is not high, and it is far beyond her ability to mobilize the power that can deal with these two people, and even the intelligence base of this crystal capital is not too important in the organization, so she is left to be the master.

What's more, these two people may still be the maximum combat power she can use now. Seeing that these two weird guys were still completely relaxed, she was deflated and had a smoldering fire burning in her heart, and sat down to pick up a glass of juice again and drank it violently. As the fire in her heart was extinguished by the coolness of the juice, and some thoughts slowly came to her, she turned to look at the Sword of Benevolence and said in a gloating tone, "Well, you're right. I thought of a possibility. ”

"Oh?" the Sword of Benevolence's eyes lit up immediately, clapping his hands. "Look, that's it. Calm down and let your imagination run wild, and your IQ will return to the high ground. ”

"Wishing Technique. Have you heard of it?" Nightshade said lightly. "With this arcane, you may be able to do what you say. ”

"No......" The Sword of Benevolence shook his head honestly, looking a little stunned by the term. "And how could there be such a no... Isn't the arcane name of the arcane? Isn't the arcane logical, and works according to the established formula? How can there be such a name with such a strong sense of witchcraft?"

"That's the ultimate form of sequenced arcane. Phil, who ate all the pine nuts and began to peel peanuts, said.

Nightshade seemed to froze, and though she couldn't see her expression, she was holding an empty cup and not moving at all. The Sword of Benevolence was also quite surprised: "Hey, you actually know? Even I, a genius who has been studying the arcane for a long time, don't know what it is, but you are a druid?"

"Because I have an Arcanist mother. Phil smiled, revealing a row of white jade teeth.

"So what the hell is that?"

“... Let this lady explain it to you, in fact, I just know a simple concept..."

“... Well..."Nightshadow managed to take his eyes off the blonde youth and put it back on the Sword of Benevolence. "Then you should know about sequencing. ”

"Of course. The Sword of Benevolence nodded. "Set certain conditions to trigger the arcane of other arcane arts. ”

"Of the arcane things you can currently touch and learn, it seems like this. Nightshade nodded. "But those secondary sequencing triggers that set mechanical conditions are just low-level imitations of that name. True sequencing must at least be a law-based arcane art above the Seven Rings, as its core is the 'Law of Conceptualization' and the 'Causal Order', which are the two most advanced arcane realms along with the study of gods. The conditions set by the secondary sequencing can only be mechanical conditions such as "being subjected to shock" and "the perceived temperature of the body surface reaching more than 100 degrees", but the real sequencing can be a conceptual condition such as "being attacked by malice" and "being attacked by fire" to prevent some accidental triggering. It may seem the same, but the essence is completely different. The higher the circumference of the sequencing technique, the more complex the conditions that can be set, and when this deduction of concepts and cause and effect accumulates to a higher level, some reverse operations can begin, which is called wish-making techniques. ”

The Sword of Benevolence nodded in understanding, "Is it no longer a passive contact with cause and effect and concepts, and an active way to sort out and use them?" ”

"Because of the 'cause and effect order,' this is considered to be the most mysterious and powerful arcane. The lowest level of the secondary wishing technique is also the Nine Rings, and the legendary Great Wishing Technique is the Eleventh Ring. However, it is also the only arcane that cannot accurately predict the outcome, because the results that are fed back through the causal order and the laws of concept are different depending on the user and the desire to use it, and the feedback mechanism is so complex that even archmages who specialize in the arcane of sequencing cannot accurately judge. Theoretically, this is a miracle that can grant any wish, but it can also have disastrous consequences. There was once a down-and-out family disciple who tried his best to exchange his family wealth for a nine-ring wishing technique, hoping to get a chance to become an arcane genius, and as a result, the arcane created a magical alchemy potion, and after he drank it, he really learned in the arcane learning day by day, and also met a prince by chance and was reused by the royal family, and finally made a great contribution to really revitalize the family. But more often than not, the arcanist who wished to gain eternal life directly became a physical golem without consciousness, wishing to win the heart of a certain woman, and the result was that he blocked the deadly assassination of that woman from a rival family, and could only watch the woman leave a few tears for him before he died...... But in any case, the wishes you make are bound to get some level of feedback, so this arcane is sure to work. And there are Arcane scrolls like this in our organization, so why don't you give it a try?"

"This inexplicable thing......" the Sword of Benevolence's brow furrowed again. This kind of thing that is completely unpredictable in outcome seems to be for desperate gamblers.

"Actually, it's not that complicated, I suggest you try it. Phil spoke again.

"Your mother taught you again?" the Sword of Mercy glanced.

Nightshade couldn't help but be surprised, "This Mr. Phil, your mother seems to be amazing. Being able to have considerable knowledge and insight into the causal order is the top arcane field. Look at your shining blonde hair, may I ask you from which long and noble family you come from......"

"No, my mother only told me about this arcane, and she didn't know what it was about. Phil replied lightly. "It's just that now, as a druid, I don't see this from a different perspective than yours. In the eyes of your arcanists, this arcane is a magic web that induces various conceptual laws to constantly feed back in the torrent of cause and effect, and it is so complex that hundreds of archmages need to use the arcane sequence to record and study, but in my opinion, it is very simple, the essence of this arcane is to disturb the winds of the world, so that it will deviate to a certain extent according to the caster's own wishes. No matter how strange the results may seem, they are essentially the embodiment of the turbulence after the World Wind has been disturbed, and the total amount of World Wind deflection should be a certain ......"

"Please wait... What are the winds of the world you are talking about?" Nightshade gestured unable to comprehend the words of the clergy. “... Destiny. This is it in words that you can easily understand. ”

"This is nothing more than the demagogic nonsense of the gods. Nightshade scoffed. "Where could there be any mysterious force that predestined everything that could not be changed?"

"It's not that everything is destined to be unchangeable, but that the flow of the world itself has certain tendencies and regularities, just like the alternation of the seasons. Arcanists are always accustomed to relying on the magic web and dissecting things on a technical level, but they don't know that the narrow horizon can never see the truth of the world. In fact, the concept of 'causal order' actually shows that the arcanists also know that things themselves have a deeper connection beyond common sense, but they always want to crumple everything into pieces in the magic web to gradually understand, but they don't know that this is like cutting people into pieces to analyze the person's personality and temperament......"

"I'm sorry, but I have no interest in debating with the clergy. Nightshade waved her hand and picked up the juice next to her. "Go ahead and talk about it. ”

“...... I'm sorry, but I'm used to it. Phil shrugged his shoulders gracefully, too, and returned to the original topic. “... Overall, this arcane should not cause the winds of the world to change in nature, but only with a certain degree of skew. For example, for example, the mage who begged to become an arcane genius, in fact, even if he didn't drink that potion, his arcane performance would probably not be bad, the key is that he should still be valued by the royal family as a big man in the future, and the effect of that potion should be just icing on the cake. And the arcanist who turned into a physical golem should have almost reached the end of his original lifespan, so the effect of feedback was to simply extend the life of his physical body, and the wind of the world blowing through him still stopped. ”

"So if you say so, this arcane is a piece of waste. The Sword of Benevolence's eyes widened.

"No, there should still be some degree of skew and turbulence. I think that if you master the scope and skills of making a wish, it is impossible to change the direction of the wind, but it is still possible to create a small area of helpful turbulence. For example, the priest you asked for could become an archmage at the same time, which is impossible to really do, but it may be possible to let the winds of the world help you create a different way, whether it is arcane or divine or golem potion or something, it may be possible to do a small part. ”

Hearing this, the Sword of Benevolence's eyes rolled up, revealing a thoughtful look. Phil couldn't help but smile when he saw it, and asked, "You ask this strange method, is it used on yourself? Do you want to become an archmage?

"I am the embodiment of love and justice, and I don't have to believe in any specific god. The Sword of Benevolence rolled its eyes.

"It is impossible for your soul strength and form to merge into the magic net. Phil smiled noncommittally. "But with good wishing might be a compromise. Of course, this is just a one-sided view of my druid's wishful thinking, and it doesn't have to be the case. Don't blame me if something happens. ”

"You talked a lot like this, but in the end it was such a tone of shirking responsibility, which really made me feel inexplicably kind. The sword of benevolence reached out and poked into the air. "But it's worthy of being my loyal and capable subordinate. Your analysis and explanation are really to my liking, and I decided to try this method. Miss Nightshade, please hurry up and get the Wishing Scroll from your organization. ”

"Are you kidding?" Nightshade replied coldly. "I admit that I promised you the corresponding resources and remuneration, and I also admit that there are wish-making scrolls in the organization. But that's the Ten Rings of Arcane. Do you understand the value of the Ten Rings Arcane, even if it is the most volatile and unpractical of the Ten Rings. With your current contribution to our organization as an outside mercenary, there is absolutely no way that you will be worth using this scroll in return. After a pause, she added, "What's more, with my current authority, I am not qualified to use the Ten Ring Scrolls. ”

"Then what do you mean by talking so much nonsense?" the Sword of Benevolence's eyes widened, and suddenly it seemed to have figured out something. "Ah, I see. Are you suggesting that I will do it myself to steal or rob your organization?"

"If you want to find death yourself, you can try it, and I'll tell you the location. Nightshade said coldly. "I mean, as a pure outsider, you have to do a lot of credit to get this level of arcane treasure. ”

"Isn't what I've done for you before?"

"Not enough. Although you have done a good job, you are not worthy of a reward like the Ten Rings Arcane, not to mention that you have already taken a fair amount of Crystal Gems as a reward. ”

"And what else do you want?"

"Now the organization has an important task assigned to me, and it says that you want to be involved. This task is actually very simple, and you don't need to lurk in any more pretending to be a ghost or the like, you just need to cooperate well, you can play your strengths to your heart's content, and by the way, there are countless flowers and praises, and the wine and beauty are waiting for you to enjoy. ”

"Generally speaking, it's not actually a good thing to say that the conditions are so nice, so just say it. ”

“...... The Temple of War has invited you to their tournament, and it has already been decided that you are this year's champion fighter, and they want to invite you to join the God of War Temple, and they want to promote you greatly and make you the most famous and successful champion fighter of all time......"

"What the fuck is this?"

At this time, Feng Yinqiu had already arrived at the stronghold of the Shenzhou gang's 'Laundry Gang' in the outer city of Oroyusta, which was located in the outer city of Oroyosta, where he had last seen the Sword of Benevolence. This was the meeting place they had agreed to before, and although they could now communicate at such a distance with an arcane technique like 'SMS', Master Adler had mentioned that the Arcane Academy Surveillance Sequence could hear the news of this low-level arcane at any time, so they didn't want to say more, and just sent a message to the Sword of Benevolence.

This kind of mixed place is really familiar to Feng Yinqiu. He easily bypassed the surrounding laundry gang without using arcane arts, and went directly to the house where he had seen the Sword of Benevolence, but the Sword of Benevolence didn't see it, but he saw the old man of the Zhang family who disappeared from the envoys.

"This ...... Mr. Feng, why are you here?" Mr. Zhang, who was sitting at the table drinking a pot of fragrant tea, was naturally stunned when he saw the sudden appearance of Feng Yinqiu, and the tea flowed all down his beard on the table.

"I made an appointment with Brother Invincible to meet here, but Uncle Zhang was also there. Feng Yinqiu casually arched his hand. In fact, thinking about it, it is actually reasonable for this old slippery head to appear here. It is obviously impossible for the Zhang family's connections in Oroyusta's power to reach out to any high-level figures.

"Oh, is Mr. Invincible back too?Okay, it's really good......" Mr. Zhang couldn't help but be happy with the color, and nodded again and again. It can make the old man who is quite deep in the city can't help it, and it also shows that the current situation is really bad. "With the two of you in charge, it's all easy. So Mr. Invincible is coming back soon? Okay, that's good, the old man is just waiting here. ”

"By the way, I had something to bother Mr. Feng before. This matter was also mentioned to Master Li, but there were many affairs later, and I probably never had time to mention it to Mr. Hefeng. At this time, when I met Mr. Feng here, it was really better to meet by chance, a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven. ”

Seeing that the old man's face seemed to be about to laugh, Feng Yinqiu was also puzzled, so he asked: "What is the matter, the old man of the Zhang family said bluntly, Feng Mou, who can help, will naturally help." ”

"That's right. There is a young granddaughter in the old family, who is stubborn and neglected to educate, but often runs around in Oroyosta, and is very familiar with those Euro chores. Lao Yu wanted her to worship under Mr. Feng as a registered disciple, so that she could use Mr. Feng's hand to discipline Lao Yu, and second, let her handle some Euro chores for Mr. Feng. Mr. Feng is now the leader of my envoys, and he has dealings with those European nobles, so how can he not have someone to help deal with some trivial matters. ”

"This ......" I didn't expect this old man to bring up such a thing, and Feng Yinqiu was also a little stunned. This matter is also logically correct, if he wants to deal with Incre and other Euro forces in an official capacity, it will naturally be much easier to have his own people who are familiar with Euro affairs to help. It's just that for a while I couldn't understand what Old Man Zhang meant by stuffing his granddaughter into him.

Seeing that he didn't refuse directly, Mr. Zhang also turned around happily and walked out, and not long after, he walked in with a young girl. Feng Yinqiu was stunned when she saw it, this girl was tall and tall, and her face was extremely beautiful, it was Zhang Jinli who she had seen before.

"Isn't this the girl from the Girl?"

This time, it was Mr. Zhang's turn to be stunned: "How does Mr. Feng know?"

"Uncle Feng is good. Zhang Yili was not as comfortable as the last time they met this time, with a slight helplessness on his face, and bowed to the wind with an extremely dignified posture.
