Chapter 357: A Test from an Being
When Fang Zheng returned to the Mage Tower again, it was already ten days later.
"You kid can get me into trouble every time."
Rex, who was bored and leaning back in his chair, saw Fangzheng, and the first thing he said was his own feelings.
"To be honest, the average prophet will try to keep yourself out of trouble as much as possible, but I didn't expect you to ask for trouble, but......... Well done! β
"So there's really something wrong with this assessment?"
"That's right."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Rex snapped his fingers triumphantly.
"Do you know what's in that box you brought back?"
Fang Zheng naturally didn't know, so he shook his head, but Rex sneered and then gave an unexpected answer.
"Necromancy Orb!"
"Really?"
Although Fang Zheng had been mentally prepared and guessed that the thing he got back was definitely not normal, he was still taken aback after hearing Rex's answer. The Necromancy Orb is a widely circulated magic device, and on this continent, the appearance of this magic device is accompanied by countless undead and darkness every time. Frankly speaking, Fang Zheng didn't expect that he would find such a good thing just by touching it casually.
However, this thing is not even looking for money, and it is rumored that the necromancy bead will give the holder the power to manipulate the undead, and at the same time, it will also lure the holder to gradually fall. In this regard, Fang Zheng said that I have seen a lot of frost sorrows, how far this kind of broken bead is still rolling, who can stand it if there is another Alsace.
"Now the entire Alliance of Order has exploded, according to the preliminary investigation, it is the Wealth Country that has mixed in with the cultists, as for what they want to do is unknown, judging from the results of the current interrogation, those cultists seem to have reached some agreement with the master mother of the dark elves, and this necromancy bead is part of the deal. The idiots at Hax were going to send the necromancy bead to the dark elves......... Hehe, I really didn't expect to cut off your beard halfway, thanks to your nosyness, otherwise we would have a headache here! β
Saying this, Rex snorted coldly.
"What are those fools of the Dead Fat and the Flame Nation thinking, we can't guess, hmph, think it's all over if we put it all on the cultists? Fortunately, you found out early, otherwise if something happens, Lao Tzu will have to settle accounts with them sooner or later! β
It's not that Fang Zheng doesn't understand why Rex is so angry, because geographically, the continent of the Overworld is roughly divided into two parts, of which most of the land on the continent where he is located is the territory of the Holy Sect Country, while the others are the Demon Guide Country. The Land of Wealth occupies an archipelago to the south along with the coastline and the Land of Fire, itself far across the ocean. This also means that no matter what those dark elves want to do when they get the Necromancy Orb, the first unlucky ones will definitely be the dwarves and elves on the top of the ice and snow, followed by the country of magic and the country of holy religions. The country of wealth and the country of flames can watch the fire from the other side and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.
Besides, with the background of the country of magic and the country of the Holy Sect, it is impossible for a group of dark elves to do anything to them, but if the dark elves are really allowed to manipulate the undead army to bring a wave on the ground, then at least a lot of strength will be consumed on both sides, which may give the country of wealth and the country of flames a chance.
That is to say, not only are cultists involved in this matter, but it is even possible that there is even the tacit approval of the officials of the two countries, otherwise, the Necromancy Bead is also a second-class magic tool level existence, so unknowingly cooperating with a forged mission to conceal the entire Order Alliance, if the pure cultists have this ability, then their major powers have not been replaced by even the king sooner.
But everyone didn't expect that such a nosy guy as Fang Zheng appeared on the way, and directly took the Necromantic Orb, causing their plan to fall short, and now in addition to pushing the pot on the head of the temporary worker cultist, the country of flames and the country of wealth are also helpless.
"Originally, in this assessment, it is reasonable to give you a four-star title, but because of your outstanding performance in the assessment, Baita decided to make an exception to give you the title of five-star mage. Anyway, your strength is almost worthy of this title, but we don't need to waste any more time on this. β
As he spoke, Rex took out a wooden box and a gold-rimmed scroll and placed it in front of Fangzheng. Fang Zheng opened the box, only to see that there was a silver badge in the shape of a five-pointed star, and on the scroll was a certification from the White Tower.
"From now on, you are the five-star mage of the White Tower of Heaven, you have the power to build the mage tower in any designated location, and you can collect apprentices yourself......... I must remind you, don't think that it is your own business to accept an apprentice, according to the regulations of the White Tower, mages above four stars are qualified to directly recommend their apprentices to study in the White Tower. So in this regard, the assessment of the White Tower is quite strict, so you'd better not solicit everyone casually, otherwise it will lower the evaluation of the White Tower. As for the rest......... See for yourself. β
"Okay, thank you, mentor."
"Don't thank me."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Rex smiled and waved his hand.
"I've never had such a worry-free student as yours, and to be honest, you're a lot smarter than my other students, huh......... A lot of people are incredibly stupid, but you're smart......... That's right. β
As he spoke, Rex patted his head as if he remembered something.
"Regarding the incident you asked me earlier, I have found someone who can help you solve your problem.........
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng immediately became interested.
"Really?"
"Of course, but he can't come himself, so I'll bring you something......... I've got it in your room, go back and take a look. β
"Thank you, mentor."
After learning the news, Fang Zheng couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, picked up the badge and scroll in his hand, saluted Rex and turned to leave. He was a little impatient now, and after the battle with the Dragon Lich in the Misty Sea, and the battle with the Shadow Dragon at the Top of the Ice, Fang Zheng was now more and more eager to break through the bottleneck and become a legend. His current strength is enough to stand up to the Legend, but not in terms of quality. This made Fang face a very embarrassing situation when facing the existence of those legends, that is, he couldn't win by himself, and he was a little bit of a loss if he didn't rely on himself.
It's like that shadow dragon, if Fang Zheng is promoted to the legendary level, even if he doesn't say that he can catch it, he can be completely suppressed, so that he won't have to wait for the action of blocking it with a dimensional anchor in the end, and then summon Black Katy, to be honest, in Fang Zheng's opinion, using Black Katy to deal with that shadow dragon is really a knife to kill chickens, too big and too useless.
I wonder what Rex brought to himself this time? Listening to him, he seems to have found a very powerful existence to help, although he can't come himself, but ......... Since my mentor is so confident, I guess it's okay.
After returning to his room, Fang Zheng quickly saw what Rex had placed in his roomβββ for the simple reason that it couldn't be more conspicuous.
"Mirrors?"
Looking at the one-person-high mirror hanging on his wall in front of him, Fang Zheng stepped forward with some confusion, but what made him curious was that the mirror did not reflect his own shadow, but looked foggy, as if it was contaminated with water.
ββ¦β¦β¦ I've pretty much guessed what the next routine will be. β
Looking at the mirror in front of him, Fang Zheng sighed, and then he cheered up and stretched out his hand to put it on the mirror.
Immediately after, a thick mist rolled out of the mirror, enveloping Fang Zheng's whole person.
