Chapter 139: The Eye of Basil

There was a soft thud, and the door was gently kicked open, and then a gray-haired old man entered, his face frightened and his eyes panicked, because he had a knife around his neck.

"Whoever comes is a guest, and no one refuses, so can you let go of my butler?"

"Okay, it's just that your housekeeper won't let me in, so I'm a little rougher, sorry."

The man gently let go of the butler, bowed slightly, behaved elegantly, his hair was an unhealthy grayish white, his face was covered, and judging by his exposed eyes, he was still tired.

"Who are you?"

"I think you'll know me." With that, he lifted his mask, revealing his handsome but haggard face.

When he saw the other party's true face, Gabriel was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"I didn't expect it to be a wanted criminal, you are the target of everyone's pursuit, the culprit of the change in the royal city, a high-risk wanted criminal with a high bounty of 10 million, it's Lance, right?"

"That's right, it's great that Lord Gabriel knows my name." Lance replied with a smile.

Gabriel looked at the young man in front of him, the other party looked very poor, he should be seriously injured, his hair color did not match the description on the wanted notice, and it didn't look like it was specially dyed, the gray and white should be caused by his weak body, and Gabriel could faintly feel the extremely unstable magic fluctuations on the other party's body.

"Ten million is not a small amount, to be honest, I am also very excited, you dare to come to me alone, aren't you afraid of being arrested by me?"

"I'm no match for you, of course, but there's something more important than money right now, isn't it? For example, the power ...... and the hearts of the people. Lance smiled inscrutablely.

Gabriel stared at each other, thinking that the criminal with a bounty of 10 million was really not only strong, but also had a very good mind, Gabriel thought that there was no one else but him who could have such a pattern at his age, but now it seems that this is not the case, a defeated and embarrassed wanted criminal can still set his sights on the highest battlefield of the empire's struggle for power, this kind of ambition is admirable, and just standing in front of him alone is enough to impress Gabriel.

"Then what are you here to see me for?"

"I want to make a deal with you, to be precise, with the adults in black robes over there." Lance shifted his gaze to the magic book in Frank's hand.

The cover of the book was made of a special hard material, the color was black, the uneven black shell was like made of obsidian, and the surrounding area was inlaid with silver-white mythril, and the center was inlaid with a ruby, and there was a slightly raised semicircular object under the gem, with a gap in the middle, which looked very strange.

A chuckle came from under Frank's cloak, and he slowly placed the book on the coffee table.

"The Eye of Basil, the legendary artifact magic book, is this thing, right?"

"Good eye, the book in your hand is undoubtedly the Eye of Basil." Lance narrowed his eyes at Basil's Eye, unsure of what he was thinking.

There are many artifacts in this world, each of these artifacts is powerful, each of them has the power to change the outcome of the war, dangerous and tempting, they are all things that exist in mythology, and the name of the stele that contains all the artifacts is the Holy Spirit Prophecy Tablet, this stele is in the hands of the royal family, stored in the imperial treasury, it is engraved with the story and origin of each artifact, each time only one artifact clue appears, only after the artifact is found from this world, The artifact clue on the stele will be changed.

Although the Holy Spirit Prophecy Tablet can tell the clues of the artifact, it is only to inform that in the hundred years since the appearance of the stone tablet, only fifty-two artifacts have been discovered, of which a total of ten have been mastered by humans, and the other forty-two have been mastered by other races, and Basil's Eye is one of the artifacts mastered by humans.

Legend has it that there is a place called the Abyss, there is a magic dragon called Basil, Basil's eyes can see through all the magic in the world, and its power is as strong as his eyes, it has been the overlord of the Abyss since it came of age, until one day, another more powerful abyssal creature appeared, it was killed by the other party, and one eye was removed. The new Abyss Overlord has created a book of magic from Basil's eyes, which does not record any magic, but is used to record the memories of mages.

If you want to release a spell, you must remember the spell that spell is lengthy, and except for some talented spells, the spells that a person can accurately remember are limited, and what you remember is often the most commonly used spells, and it is naturally impossible for a mage to go with a magic guide book everywhere, so if two low-level mages face off before, if one mage knows the spell prepared by the other mage, then he can easily suppress the other party as long as he recites another restraint magic in advance.

But Basil's Eye is different, it has a total of five hundred pages, of which four hundred and ninety pages can directly record the mage's memories, which is equivalent to as long as he carries this book, then he is a super mage who can have at least four hundred and ninety spells wherever he goes, even if he is a magic apprentice, all four hundred and ninety pages record very low-level magic, but as long as the types are different, it is enough to easily deal with any unexpected situation.

Of course, this level alone is far from enough to be called an artifact, and the main reason it is called an artifact is that there are another ten pages, and those ten pages are about the mage's spells.

A mage can chant ten spells in advance, seal the spell in Basil's Eye, and when it comes to battle, each of these ten spells will have a chance to be cast directly without chanting.

You must know that Belina has the eye of spell-breaking, coupled with her amazing spell talent, the limit can only allow three high-level spells to have a short overlapping time, but Basil's eye can release ten spells in an instant, which can be called anti-heaven, it is not an exaggeration to say that this book can make an apprentice easily a high-level mage in an instant.

The book was previously in the hands of the Revolutionary Army, kept by Harold, the deputy leader of the Revolutionary Army, and Lance originally planned to deal with Walter and Elbert to deceive him, but it was disrupted by Felik, and the final result was that the Revolutionary Army was suppressed and the royal city was destroyed.

After that, he also kept inquiring about Harold's whereabouts, and finally learned that Harold died at the hands of a black-robed man in the clock tower.

"The Eye of Basil is an artifact that all forces are fighting for, why should I give it to you?" The other party said.

Lance's brow furrowed imperceptibly, thinking that he really couldn't get it so easily, but fortunately-

There is also a pretty good stack.

"I've got something you might see."
