Chapter 189: Surveillance (Subscription Requested)
However, considering his cold poison power and talent: scale armor, and even the advanced requirements of the Fishman King's bloodline, if he either needs an ice treasure or is unknown, he is alone, even with the assistance of the Deathwing Mercenary Group, the efficiency is likely to be very low.
Barron considered that it might be more effective to use some large forces, such as the Nader Kingdom, to collect ice treasures and clues to the Fishman King's bloodline, and he now has the strength of a high-level knight, even if he joins the royal family
Therefore, he did not refuse the tentative olive branch thrown by Duke Darke at the first time, but said: "It's a great honor, our Deathwing mercenary group is very happy to serve the kingdom!"
Duke Darker nodded, more satisfied with Barron's attitude, and then said: "Do you have any needs now, if so, just mention it, because there will be a war with the four major lords later, and you will need the strength of your Deathwing mercenary group at that time." ”
Barron thought for a moment and said, "There is really one thing that needs to be troubled by Lord Duke, I heard that there are blacksmiths in the Zhenbei Army, right? I wonder if I can borrow a few blacksmiths to use them?"
......
......
When Duke Duck was still trying to win over Barron, they didn't notice that in the camp of the Zhenbei Corps, a pitch-black crow stood on the top of a tent, staring at them from a short distance until Duke Duck entered the tent again, and the crow flapped its wings and flew away.
The crow kept flying, and only after flying all the way out of the camp of the Zhenbei Corps to a deserted lake did the crow slowly stop and land on the ground next to the lake.
"Постояннаятехникадеформации!" Then, with a burst of unknown words, the body of the pitch-black crow began to slowly grow larger, and the crow's body continued to stretch and change as it grew larger.
The crow's wings gradually turned into two feathered arms, and the two claws slowly turned into two slender calves, and the crow's head was constantly changing, and finally turned into a human face shaped like a crow.
Finally, a creature that resembles a human but not a human, a bird and a bird appears next to the lake.
If Aldrich had been here, he would have recognized that the crow was not a strange creature, but an authentic wizard apprentice, and a wizard apprentice even more powerful than him.
It's just that the other party used an extremely rare 0-ring sorcery - permanent transformation to turn himself into a pitch-black crow.
This permanent transfiguration allows the wizard to switch back and forth between human and animal forms freely, and the animals that the wizard transforms into are exactly the same as other real animals, whether it is breath, appearance, etc.
As for other sorcery, neither illusion nor parasitism could achieve the powerful concealment effect of permanent transfiguration.
Even more powerful wizard apprentices can't easily spot wizard apprentices who use permanent transfiguration, and even for those who don't know anything about wizards, or know very little about them, it also has a great concealment effect.
Just like when this crow, who had been turned into a wizard's apprentice just now, observed Duke Dark, Barron and the others at such a close distance, but no one noticed anything abnormal.
You must know that there were big knights, high-level knights, and several intermediate knights, and even a wizard apprentice Aldrich, but even so, no one noticed the abnormality of this crow.
Of course, a permanent transformation book with such a strong concealment ability must have its limitations.
The first point is that PermaTransfiguration permanently occupies a wizarding slot in a wizarding apprentice, and whether he uses it today or not, this magic will always be inscribed on a wizarding slot in the wizarding apprentice's slot.
The second point is the danger, when the wizard apprentice transforms into a creature, he can't use any witchcraft, and even because he completely changes into another species, once he suffers damage, he will be injured like ordinary creatures, or even die.
Because wizards who are accidentally shot by hunters, soldiers, mercenaries, and other ordinary people during the transformation are definitely not alone.
The third point is that once the permanent transformation technique is used, as the number of uses increases, the apprentice's own body will slowly and continuously assimilate, and some parts of the body will never be able to change back.
Therefore, there are absolutely very few wizard apprentices who actually use permanent transfiguration, and it is no wonder that Duke Dark, Barron, and Aldridge can't find out.
Immediately afterwards, the wizard apprentice, who had turned back into a human but had retained some of the characteristics of a crow, walked to the side of the lake, and then took out a small black bead from his body and threw it directly into the lake.
As the small black beads were thrown into the lake, the water surface began to boil rapidly, and then a column of water suddenly rose in the place where the small black beads were thrown, and when the water column dissipated, a humanoid figure of the water element appeared in front of the wizard's apprentice.
The wizard apprentice was not surprised by the appearance of the water element, and was even extremely excited, only to see him touch his chest with one hand, and then bent down and said respectfully: "Meet the supreme control of the messenger, the black crow has something important to report!"
"Black Crow, have your surveillance yielded results?" replied the water elemental faintly.
"Yes, Honorable Emissary, I have observed Dak Nader, he is still at the level of the Great Knight, and he has not changed further!" the Black Crow, the wizard apprentice, continued to bend down and said, "But I heard a message from Dak Nader!"
"What's the news?" the water elemental asked.
Then the crow repeated every word that Barron had spoken in the tent.
"An unknown wizard tower, a wizard suspected of being a peak wizard apprentice?" The water elemental was not interested in the undead in the Golden Lion City, what really interested him was the wizard who was so suspected of being a peak wizard apprentice in Barron's words.
"In the entire Seven Kingdoms Alliance, after removing the three great knights, only the White Ice Wolf King in the Far North has the strength of a peak wizard apprentice, and there should be no peak wizard apprentice in addition, and now a peak wizard apprentice has quietly appeared, which is obviously very abnormal. ”
The water element muttered to himself: "It seems that he is very likely to be the person the mentor is looking for, Black Crow, you are doing a very good job, I will report this matter to the control immediately, if it is confirmed that the wizard apprentice is the person who controls the person to be found, then your reward will definitely be indispensable at that time!", you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
