Countess Elijah turned around and didn't see Stephen Zhou, there were more than a dozen rooms large and small, which contained the most basic daily necessities. A large room was stocked with supplies, and unlike the other wizards that Countess Elija remembered, there were no strange materials in it, but metal ingots, wood, and stone neatly arranged one by one. There's also no eerie feel to the legendary wizard's dwelling, with torches and lamps illuminated in every room, and the floors are clean and clean, with smooth marble floors like mirrors.

Although the strange wizard was not there, Countess Illya had no intention of leaving.

The Earl of Keaton has ruled the city of Windwind for decades, and she is likely to be caught as soon as she leaves the city with her daughter, knowing that there are many perverted hobbies among the nobles, and God knows how many terrible things will happen to them.

"Are you awake?"

I don't know when, Stephen Zhou's figure appeared behind Countess Elijah.

His body was covered in dust, as if he had just crawled out of the mine, but with a snap of his fingers, Stephen Chow's body was immediately clean, and looking at Countess Illya's surprised expression, he smiled: "It's just a little inconspicuous mage trick." Nothing surprising. ”

After speaking, Stephen looked the noblewoman in front of him up and down, frowned, and said, "Tell me about you." ”

Knowing that what she said next would determine whether or not she could get the help of the mysterious wizard in front of her, Countess Illya couldn't help but take a deep breath and said slowly, "About a month ago. My husband, the Earl of Norrington, suddenly told me that the silver mines controlled by my family had found some metals that were more expensive and rare than gold and diamonds. ”

"That's right. Countess Illya seemed to sound something, and said slowly: "Because the production of silver mines has not been high, my husband has spent a lot of money to hire a master from the highland dwarves to help prospect for silver, and wants to mine deeper silver mines. ”

"It happened shortly after the Dwarven Master arrived. ”

"Since then, my husband has been very emotional, and has told me several times that the Norrington family will be the richest and most powerful nobles in Windy City. It was about noon the next day when he went to the mine with a large group of knights and retinues of the family, and I haven't seen him since. ”

Later, however, he asked his servants to send me a message saying that everything that day was to be kept secret and that he would stay in the mine for a while. ”

Speaking of this, Countess Illya couldn't help but show a wry smile and said slowly: "But I didn't expect that it would be the last time we met." By the time I heard of him again, the Earl of Keaton had already sent troops to occupy the mines, and informed my husband that he had been executed for his stubborn resistance, and soon my family was framed for colluding with the rebels in Dragon City to sell weapons to finance them, and the next day sent troops to surround the mansion. We escaped with the desperate protection of the guards, and then we met the wizard. ”

Stephen Zhou frowned when he heard this, and muttered, "Acting so fast, it looks like it's been planned for a long time." ”

Mithril ore is more difficult to mine.

If Stephen Chow wants to take it, it's better to occupy it directly, and stealing mines like this is definitely not possible. Because the associated Mithril ore content is low and very scattered, it is possible to hollow out the entire silver vein and only collect about ten or twenty pounds.

He glanced at the noblewoman in front of him, and waved her to interrupt her, "I see." You can stay here for a while. Yesterday, there were already three groups of people scouting in the vicinity, and whatever the plans were, wait until the rumors have passed. ”

At the moment, Stephen Chow's strength has not recovered much.

If he wants to confront a great aboriginal nobleman who controls a city, Stephen Zhou must at least recover to the strength of a level 7 alchemist or above, and at that time he can create a batch of golems to protect himself. And now Stephen Zhou is just approaching the strength of a level 5 alchemist, and this female noblewoman in front of him is still of great value to him, if he can use her to rightfully occupy the Mithril Mine, and let the natives collect materials for themselves through her, then the plan to build a floating city will obviously be much faster. There are many parts of the world that are full of weirdness, and Stephen Chow doesn't want to get directly involved in the struggle of the aborigines until he has the strength to protect himself.

Hearing that Count Keaton was still searching for them, Countess Elijah swallowed what she wanted to say.

If she wants to convince a powerful wizard to help her, she must have enough benefits, and she can't get anything out now, so she wants to convince a wizard to be an enemy of the ruler of Windblown City, which is obviously extremely unlikely, and she will be disgusted by the wizard in front of her because of this. As a woman born into an aristocratic family, Countess Elijah knew very well that profit was the root of cooperation. And it was unrealistic to pin everything on this wizard, she had to find a way to contact her family to get more help. Countess Illya was born into a large aristocratic family in the south, although she is not a direct bloodline, but there are not a lot of resources that can be mobilized, and her sister is also a powerful wizard, but she is not currently on this continent.

"That's right. ”

Stephen Zhou seemed to think of something, and pretended to ask casually, "Have you ever met any other wizards?"

Since he came to this world, he has discovered that Stephen Zhou has hardly encountered any genuine spellcasters, and the only one he has encountered is a half-hung voodoo shaman in the giant clan, and it is impossible for the number of spellcasters to be so rare in such a world that has broken out [Elemental Tide].

It's weird!

Countess Illya had a strange expression when she heard this, but she still said respectfully: "I have encountered some. My sister is a wizard. I traveled to the Fifth Ring Tower ten years ago, but my family hasn't heard of her in a long time. ”

"Tell me everything you know!" said a strange glint in Stephen Chow's eyes.

- "Seducing humanity." ”

Countess Illya was stunned for a moment, and then felt that the wizard in front of her seemed to be an old friend she had known for many years, and couldn't help but say: "Most of the wizards I have seen are from the Five Ring Tower, and they live on the other side of the strait. Probably every ten years, they come here by boat to recruit a group of apprentices who have the potential to become wizards. My sister left with a wizard ten years ago, but the family hasn't heard from her in a long time. In addition, there are a few secluded wizards in some places, most of whom are wild wizards who have lost hope of advancement. ”

"That's what the wizard from the Tower of the Five Rings said. Countess Illya added.

Stephen Zhou nodded and said, "No wonder." It turns out that the wizarding organization is actually on another continent. This planet is so big, it looks like there's a lot I don't know. Tell me about the wizards you've encountered."

Countess Illya thought for a moment and said slowly: "These wizards are mysterious, weird, and powerful, although I have never seen them cast spells, but they are all infinitely powerful, and they have subdued the knights cultivated in the family with their bare hands......"

"Wait a minute!" Stephen Zhou's eyes suddenly widened and said, "Infinite power?"

"Yes. Countess Elijah said honestly.

What's going on?

Stephen Chow had heard a lot of words to describe wizards, but it was the first time he had heard someone use the word 'mighty' to describe a wizard, which seemed completely different from the wizard he remembered, right?

"You say every wizard is powerful?" said Stephen Chow, frowning.

Countess Illya nodded, "Yes." Every ten years, my clan receives a group of wizards, all of whom are extremely powerful, and even without the use of spells, the family knights are no match. ”

This is definitely not a wizard!

Stephen Zhou raised his head and said in a deep voice, "How did they choose their apprentices?"

Countess Illya recalled for a moment and said slowly, "With a mysterious crystal ball." I've tested it before, but unfortunately didn't have the talent to become a wizard. ”

Crystal ball?

This doesn't seem to be something to test the qualifications of a mage, right? This is obviously a prop for selecting the bloodline of a warlock!

Don't?

The wizards of this world are referred to as the casters on the warlock's side?The wizards of infinite power?Could it be the dragon vein warlocks?!

Stephen Zhou raised his head and said in a deep voice, "One last question." ”

"Do those wizards select apprentices based on their family lineage, or do they test a large number of ordinary people all at once?"
