After being rescued by the young mage he knew well, Barrett followed the latter to a palatial building to rest.

Seeing that Barrett was not in a good state of mind, the little mage Krees made him a pot of calming tea, and added a small amount of honey to the tea.

"I'm telling you, honey and the Tranquility Flower are a perfect match, but those of my colleagues never want to add honey to the Tranquility Potion. They thought that the taste of the potion and the mixture should be weird, so that people would feel mysterious and sell it for a lot of money. Krees said, waving his hand. A teacup with a spider pattern landed in front of Barritt, "Hmph, God knows who first came up with this theory, I guess it's a guy who doesn't know how to learn potions." ”

The little mage tapped the pot of tranquilizing tea with his fingers, causing the teapot to hang in the air and automatically filling the teacup in front of Barrit. It's the 'Mage's Hand', and the Barbarian knows this signature spell that most mages like to use frequently.

In the time that followed, they talked about a lot of things. The young mage tells Barrett that he is currently in the lair of a Mind Flayer clan known as Braineater's.

Originally known as 'Sastyria', this Mind Flayer's lair was a city of drow elves who were renamed 'Oredo' after being conquered by the Mind Flayers.

And when Barrett asks why the little mage is hanging out with these evil Mind Flayers, Krees sighs and says to the brute, "I was sent to spy on these Mind Flayers. ”

The young mage said that the upper echelons of the Magic Guild had found the wandering Mind Flayer clan from no corner of the multiverse, and after promising them a return, they supported the cannon fodder to fight the drow elves underground.

"The Dark Realm is about to become the dominant Elf family. "You know, it's no bigger than it was during the Magic Empire. We're still strong, but we can't do what we want, alas......"

The little mage sighed, as if reminiscing about the past, "In order to prevent these Drow elves from becoming dominant, can they really wipe out their entire clan? That will inevitably lead to a divine war again, and the divine war is not easy to open, and it is even more difficult to collect." And after all, the dark region still belongs to these underground races, and even if we humans really occupy it, no one wants to come and live. So, the plan is to have these Mind Flayers come back and stir them up, and let me come over and keep an eye on them, so that these guys don't do anything behind their backs. ”

"And we've limited the number of Mind Flayers. Underneath this house is the Mind Flayer's mastermind, I'll take you to see it later, those tadpole-like Mind Flayer hatchlings hatched from the brain pool where the main brain is, it's interesting......"

The little mage said that this job was originally done by another middle-level mage, because that mage was Fei Yi's father, so he took over this task and went underground.

Fei Yi seems to be a woman by name, but Barrett doesn't know what her relationship with the little mage is. He just saw that when the little mage was saying this name, the three sun vines printed on the black tight-fitting robe lit up for no reason.

......

Our barbarian adventurer told the little mage about his two underground trips, after which the little mage told him, "Actually, if you hadn't killed three mind flayers, those guys wouldn't have captured you, after all, you're human." That's why you'll be left alone underground for the first time, and Ghosn, as a dwarf, will be captured back into the slave army. Rest assured, he has been rescued by me and has been living in the city with me for a short time. Later, something seemed to have happened to the dwarven 'Forge Rock City', and he wanted to go back to see it, so I sent him back with a teleportation circle. ”

Such a situation undoubtedly relieved Barrett.

"But I don't know the minotaur you mentioned, so I don't know what he's doing. "But I'll keep an eye on it, if he's still alive." ”

"As for the 'good helper' adventure team that came with you this time, I can't help it. The little mage spread out his hand and gave a helpless expression, "The dark region is too big, much bigger than you think. And I'm the only one here, and those Mind Flayers don't really listen to me, they're just afraid of the power behind me. However, if you're looking for some Mossy Rock Spider eggs to complete the quest, I can get you some. ”

Task......

Barrett hesitated for a long time, but finally told the little mage in front of him about the [Mission Log] who had a good relationship with him.

In fact, deep down in his heart, he had always had doubts about this unknown thing that did not know where to live in his body or soul, and he felt that his state was a little weird, so he hoped that the genius among the mages in front of him could provide him with some reliable answers.

Thankfully, Barrett actually knew what was inside him after listening to it. It's just that he didn't understand most of the conversation after that.

It's like the question asked by the little mage with a serious face now, "Now, are you the protagonist, or am I the protagonist?"

What's the main character? Is he talking about some kind of opera? Barrett didn't know how to answer.

After the little mage got up, he wandered around the same place twice, and said something inexplicable in frustration, "Forget it, so be it, anyway, all this is the choice of the Gate of the Destiny Stone." ”

What does it mean? Barrett didn't know why, he even had some vague doubts in his heart, was this little mage in front of him brainwashed by the Mind Flayer?

With that, Master Krees pulled himself together as if he had let go of something. He turned his head and suddenly looked straight at Barrett.

After a few heartbeats, the mage strode up to the barbarian, placed one of his hands on the brute's shoulder, and said in a very solemn tone, "Be my follower, Lord Barrett!"

"Followers?"

"Yes, be my follower!" said the little mage, his eyes blazing, "you know, the mage and his followers are not a master-servant relationship, of course, not a slave relationship, but a cooperative one, a relationship of priority, and equality. He pondered the words.

"Doesn't that sword of yours need to be repaired in the Elven Holy Land, I can go with you, and then find a mage who has a good relationship with the elves to help, presumably after spending a little price, there should be no problems. The little mage tempted Barritt, "Also, I can help you get a good means of transportation, there is a solitary mage in the underground who has a lot of research on the bloodline of creatures, and if your mount does have the blood of a nightmare beast, I can ask him to help dig and transform it." This way, your mount can freely move through the shadow plane, and you can be on call!"

"Moreover, I can provide you with some support in enchantments, magic accessories, potions, etc. When I reach the high-level mage and can build the magic tower, there will definitely be your room and location in the completed magic tower! After all, you are my follower!"

Sounds like that, Barrett was quite impressed, "So what can I do for you?"

"It's easy, follow me through the mission, or complete the mission independently. The little mage said, "You are my follower, but you are not a mage, so the tasks you complete, the points in the association will naturally be counted on my head." Although most of the mages in the association like to work alone, there are also some mages who will have several adventure teams, and even have a whole adventure party behind them. However, I'm only going to find a few people to be my followers. ”
