Chapter 308: The Hourglass of Time
Wren saw Anthy Vodaus's expression, and his heart "chuckled", followed by a wave of embarrassment, and everything he did was clearly seen by the teacher.
He thought that the teacher didn't mean it, but now it seems that it was on purpose.
"Teacher. Wren bowed.
Ancy Vodaus put down his pen and stroked his snow-white beard with a smile, "Wren, don't blame me for ruining your good deeds, as a teacher, I just hope you don't make mistakes." ”
"Make a mistake......" Wren looked stunned.
"Have you forgotten the half-elf lady?" Ancivodaus said, "It's understandable that a man is a little romantic, and I also know that you are not a promiscuous person. However, the identity of that countess is not simple, you should know better than me, if the matter of Osilia reaches Longsander, how will you explain it to the Duke of Silverstar?"
Wren couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that the teacher was afraid that there would be a fire in his backyard and cause the Duke of Silver Star to be held accountable.
Teacher, you also care too much about the private life of your students, right?
He had no choice but to explain, "Teacher, this is Viola's agreement. ”
Ancy Wodaus's face was stunned, he didn't expect this result at all, he was stunned for a while before shaking his head, and said in a complicated tone: "I don't know whether to say that the half-elf is generous, or do you young people really know how to play?"
"Actually, I was surprised myself. Wren scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"Still, I have to warn you. Anthy Vodaus returned to his senses, "Osilia's origin is more complicated than you think, you will inevitably be involved in her fate if you walk with her, even I am not sure that I can protect her, if you have time to withdraw now." ”
"Because she's an iridescent dragon?" Wren asked tentatively.
"Not exactly. Anthy Vodaus sighed, "Although the legendary dragon species is rare, it is not a problem, but it is her human bloodline, which will cause many people to covet it." ”
Wren was a little puzzled, what is so strange about human blood?
All the human beings in the world of Erenus are cursed by blood souls in their bodies, passed down from generation to generation, and there is no strong human bloodline for a long time, everyone is on the same starting line, and it can be said that all people are truly created equal.
But Osiria does have a peculiarity.
Half of her bloodline comes from humans, and there is no Blood Soul Curse in her soul.
As a result, either the powerful talent of the iridescent dragon resisted the curse, or the one of her parents who belonged to the human race, reached the level of the twenty transcendent profession, stepped into the Holy Soul or Holy Rank, and lifted the curse before she was born.
He was about to ask again, but Anthyvodaus waved his hand, "This is Osilia's private matter, and she will naturally say it when she is willing to tell you." ”
"Okay. Wren nodded in understanding.
However, he did not hold back, and said, "Teacher, whether Xilia is close to me or not, she is my friend, and I will not sit idly by and watch her fall into danger." ”
Ancy Wodaus looked at Wren seriously, and when he saw his firm attitude, he smiled with satisfaction: "Since you think so, then it's up to you to do it, treat her well." ”
"Thank you, teacher. ”
Wren didn't say anything more about it, and instead asked, "Teacher, are you okay?"
"It's still the same. ”
Anthy Wodaus looked relaxed, but Wren frowned.
Since half a year ago, the teacher's body was on the verge of disintegrating with Sazarstan's death finger and dissociation technique, and he needed to use the energy of the floating city to sustain his life, which has not been solved until now.
According to the method given by the teacher, it is necessary to find a few supernatural elements to enhance physical fitness, and to hold the dissociation technique, several speakers are searching in private, and Wren has been secretly inquiring, but half a year has passed, and there is still nothing.
Transcendent elements are hard to come by, and even with the power of the Wezeland Floating City, if you want to get the specified elements, you have to rely on luck.
Maybe it's too bad luck and too short a time to mobilize people to find it in a big way, so as not to let the teacher's opponent detect the signs.
But as one of the three giants of the Supreme Council, the teacher can't hide in the floating city forever.
If it drags on for too long, sooner or later it will be exposed, giving people an opportunity to take advantage of.
Wren sighed, but couldn't do anything.
Anthy Vodaus was concerned about his experience on the plateau, and Wren did not hide it, repeating what he had just said to Osiria.
When he heard Elder Titan, he also let out a burst of exclamation.
Wren took the opportunity to take out the source crystal ore that Solim handed over to him, and asked, "Teacher, have you seen the source crystal?"
Anxi Wodaus picked up the crystalline silver ore, carefully observed it for a few minutes, shook his head and said: "I'm not good at alchemy, and I don't know much about minerals, this is the first time I've seen Yuan Jing, I'm afraid I can't help you." ”
Wren was not disappointed, there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is normal for the teacher not to understand.
Anthy Vodaus suggested, "You can consult Speaker Dharlandon, he is the best alchemist in our Weizeland, and he should know more about this than I do." ”
"Okay. ”
Wren collected the Origin Crystal Ore, remembered another thing, and told the teacher about the mysterious wizard he had met in the Death Forest.
When Ancivodaus heard this, he seemed to know who it was, and smiled: "That wizard should be a simulacrum of Tuzre. ”
"Sure enough, it's the black-robed duke!"
Wren suddenly realized that this answer was both reasonable and unexpected.
In fact, since he left the Death Forest, he has been thinking about the identity of the black-robed wizard, and gradually confronted a certain big man, who is one of the members of the Supreme Council, and the most junior Holy Soul Wizard so far - the black-robed Duke Tuzree Slin.
This duke has been promoted to the Holy Soul for less than a hundred years, and his experience before that is almost blank, people almost know about his origin, age, and teachership, he seems to have suddenly appeared out of nowhere, from obscurity to one step to the sky, and directly became a Holy Soul Wizard.
The High Council of Cermidis, for unknown reasons, recognized and accepted him, and soon conferred the title of duke.
However, it remains a mystery which part of the empire the black-robed duke chose as his territory.
He was rumored to have a wizard's tower, but no one had ever seen it with their own eyes.
Wren had heard from his teacher about the black-robed duke, a Holy Soul wizard who had always maintained a neutral attitude in the High Council, and since entering the council, he has abstained from voting no matter how important the vote, and has often been absent from the council.
This means that he never exercised his power.
But the strength of the black-robed duke is absolutely undoubted.
Simulacrum is a nine-ring spell, and the spells of legendary high-level wizards are only up to eight rings, and only Holy Soul wizards can cast simulacrums, creating a clone that is only half of their own level.
Except for the level of the siformed clone is only half of itself, everything else is no different from itself, thoughts, memories, spell-casting skills, etc., perfectly inherited from the past, just like another independent human being, as long as it does not die, it can exist for a long time, but it cannot continue to upgrade.
The simulacrum clone of the Holy Soul Wizard, half of the level is also at least a level 10 wizard, which happens to be a legend.
It's no wonder that the soul eye can't see through the soul of the other party, but it doesn't suffer a backlash.
Wren asked curiously, "How could the simulated clone of the black-robed duke appear in the Death Forest Sea and be controlled by the Soul Circle?"
"There's nothing strange about that. Ansivodaus said, "Death Limhai is the duke chosen by Tuzre. ”
Wren was extremely surprised, "Isn't the Death Forest Sea the territory of the Green Dragon King 'Zhanqing'?"
"Tuzre was originally just a legendary wizard, and he was able to jump up to the Holy Soul Wizard, which is inseparable from his wizard tower. The tower is old and mysterious, hidden in the depths of the Dead Forest, and Tuzre, in order to fully control the Wizard Tower, must clash with the 'Zhanqing', and the two sides have been fighting for more than a hundred years. Anthy Vodaus slowly spoke secretly.
"I see. Wren thought for a moment, "Why didn't the High Council come to the aid of the Black-robed Duke?"
Ansivodaus replied: "Zhan Qing is an ancient dragon, most likely a demigod, and the Supreme Council does not want to provoke this king of the green dragon, we can support Tuzray behind our backs, and classify the Death Forest Sea as a dukedom, we are already relying on the strong strength of the empire to take risks." ”
"Tuzre's reliance on the Wizard's Tower, and his mastery of arcane and shadow spells, have barely made it possible for him to have a relationship with Zhan Qing, and their fight will not be fruitful in the short term, and it may last for hundreds, even millennia. ”
Wren nodded and sighed, "I see. ”
He guessed in his heart that the simulated clone of the black-robed duke should have been controlled by the King of the Green Dragon, and Monagas borrowed this enslaved avatar from the King of the Green Dragon in order to set up a trap for Schwefert, and transformed into a green dragon.
"This speculation should not be far from the truth. ”
Ansivodaus affirmed it and said with a smile: "Since Tuzley said that he owes you a favor, with his character, he will do what he says, you must cherish this favor, and it may be of great use in the future." ”
"I remember, teacher. ”
Wren was well aware of how precious a Holy Soul wizard's promise was.
This may be my biggest gain in the forest of death.
He didn't forget to ask the teacher for advice, the black-robed duke saw that he had a way to lift the soul control circle, what was that magical ability?
Ancy Wodaus replied with a solemn face: "That should be the hourglass of the legendary elemental time. ”
Wren was shocked.
This legendary element is documented in the Book of a Thousand Souls, but there is very little information, only a few sentences, and it is rumored that those who possess the "hourglass of time" can see the past and the future, and even see the fate of an intelligent being, whether alive or dead, at a glance.
The Hourglass of Time is the most mysterious element of arcane magic, and its only known source is the most powerful legendary dragon species, the Time Dragon!
Wren sighed for a while, didn't stay with the teacher for long, and got up to say goodbye.
