Chapter Twenty-Four: Becoming Nasty

Assis carefully pulled out a small pale blue crystal piece from his bosom. This is what the employer gave them when he first commissioned them, and they were afraid that they could inform him if something happened.

This thing has not been used, except that nothing major has happened, mainly because Isis almost immediately lost control of this thing when he saw it and quoted the approximate price of this thing to Helika. So Helika also decided not to use it anyway.

But there's usually a limit to 'no matter what', as is the case now.

Isis looked at the small piece of crystal and sighed, and said in a heartbroken tone that he had sent his son as a sacrifice, "If there is a way to sell this thing to Celeste or the Tower of Tooth in the east, it will be worth at least two thousand gold coins, and this is only to sell it as a magic material." It's a shard of the stars......"

The Star Stone is the most magical, rarest and most precious of all magical materials, and like the Magic Jade, it is only found in the Sandface Mountains. However, unlike the Magic Jade, which is known as the 'Source of Magic', it cannot resonate with any system of magic and cannot store magic. Its only function is to be able to produce a magic wave that cannot be produced by any other means, a magic wave that breaks through space.

It is impossible to evaluate the age of the Star Stone when it was discovered, but it is known that it is about the same as the magical culture. That kind of magical magic fluctuation once attracted countless magicians to invest their whole lives in diamonds, but even after an unknown number of years, I don't know how many genius magicians have studied it, there has never been a space magician on this continent. A great magician once said with emotion that the energy and time consumed by countless geniuses in the Star Stone was enough to push the magic culture forward for another two hundred years.

But the efforts of these geniuses were not entirely in vain. Although they could not analyze the essence of this magic fluctuation, and transformed various spells that could be used flexibly like other types of magic, they also found in countless failed practices that were very practical, although they knew what they were and didn't know why.

All geospatial magic relies on the Star Stone to be used. The most complete Star Stone is called the 'Star Eye', which is rare in the world, and it is the core item of the teleportation magic land. For hundreds of years, there were no more than ten teleportation magic arrays on the entire continent. The main reason for this is the lack of a complete Star Eye. The Star Eye Fragment is the Star Fragment, which can also create a temporary magic circle that can only be used once. In terms of practicality, it is also precious, and even the tiniest of Star Dust is an indispensable ingredient for making teleportation scrolls.

Except for the full Star Eye, other fragments will be scrapped after a single use, and of course the one in Isis's hand is no exception. However, this fragment was very different from the usual one, and the lines on it were smaller than a human hair, forming a magic circle in this palm-sized Mercury piece. Just this almost artistic approach is enough to show how valuable this thing is.

"Don't grind, hurry. Helika said in a deep voice

Isis nodded, and slowly poured his mana into the crystal with a sad face. A blue magical glow began to light up in his hands. This is the light peculiar to teleportation magic, but much smaller and much purer.

Using Star Fragments directly in this way, even the most exquisite magic arrays can't use teleportation magic, but they can produce similar effects. This magical light did not flash like the teleportation scroll, but condensed in his hand. Soon after, a figure loomed in the light, and an old but energetic voice came out: "What's going on, mercenaries. ”

"That's right. Respectfully. "Isis's expression and voice were solemn and reverent, which he had used to pray to God at the Academy of Magic many years ago. "We had a little accident, and we sent out a ...... that you would probably be interested in."

It didn't take long to follow. In a hidden place not far from the thief's test center, the man from Little Sandface also pulled out an identical star fragment. Infused with mana, a figure appears in the blue light.

"The plan changed, and a Templar came out halfway through. The man said to the image of the converging magical light. "I decided to change my plans on the spur of the moment. Going to ......"

"I know it all. The image sighed and interrupted the man. "Those guys have already informed me, and I can probably guess what you're trying to do. ”

The man was stunned and said, "What did they inform you?"

"They see who you are. Tell me about this fake necromancer. Please let me catch you. ”

"I can't imagine that these guys don't have bad heads. I thought I could hide it from them for a while. The man smiled a little unexpectedly, still a smiling smile. "What do you say?"

"Naturally, I told them to sprinkle it. Let them make good use of your work in Turalleone, and I will naturally come and clean you up. I promised them enough to do anything willingly, hehe. The laughter from the shadow was very happy, and it even seemed to smell a few years younger. "Anyway, it's an empty promise, and it doesn't hurt to drive it big. ”

"I just hope your acting skills can pass. The man smiled. Say. "You said you guessed my plan?"

"You're trying to pull the church into Turalea?"

"To be right, my target is not the church, it's the Necromantic Guild. I've managed to tell the Templars about my trip to Turalleone, and I'm still arranging for her to be released without a trace, until a helper comes in. It saved me a lot of time. Just go back and report ......," the man smiled. Probably before the people of Celeste understand, the people of the Necromantic Guild should understand my identity first, and they will come directly to Turalion, as long as Diya Valley notices that the leaves of the World Tree are in Turalia, then even if we don't open our mouths, the elves will ask for your help. At that time, Oufu can ask for a sky-high price. ”

"Well...... To be honest, I've never been confident that these thieves will put enough pressure on the elves. I've also been thinking about drawing the attention of the Necromantic Guild over the shoulders. I didn't think of people doing it first. The image considered five, and the tone still seemed worried. "But you're really risky, and there are too many uncertainties. The reason I haven't done this is because I can't grasp the movements of Deya Valley and Celeste, and I can't really know myself and my opponent. What if they react unexpectedly? Are you sure that Deya Valley will do more than the church?"

The man smiled faintly. Say, "Don't worry." I gave Sandru his name, and the pastors and bishops of the church probably didn't understand what it meant. The necromancer must have known it was me as soon as he heard it. Those guys would never want me to fall into the hands of the church first, so they will do it before the church people, and I believe they have a way to keep the church out of it. ”

"But it's still too risky......" the man in the light and shadow then said word by word. "Never underestimate them, no one has the right to underestimate them. ”

"I never will, and I dare not underestimate those guys. But I know they will do that. I add the leaves of the World Tree, this bait they absolutely can't turn a blind eye. ”

"I know that, but I'm still not at ease. The man in the light hesitated. Silent and silent. "After all, you can't be careless in dealing with them......"

"Who can really master all the variables?" the man shook his head slightly and sighed. "It's inevitable to take some risks, after all, we don't have much left to pay, and if we can divert the attention of the church and the necromantic guild in this place, it will also be very beneficial to the situation of Oufu. ”

"That's right. Time is running out, so maybe it's just a risk. The voice in the light and shadow also sighed. "You let us know when the time is right, and Gru and I will be there as soon as possible. With the strength of the three of us, we should be able to handle a few necromancers. ”

"It would be nice to be able to kill a few by the way. Hehe. The man smiled.

"Don't think too well, thank goodness for being able to accomplish your goal. The voice in the light and shadow sighed. "I just got the message. It seems that the Church is also preparing to send men to love the Enfast Empire, and it seems that it is preparing to adopt a fully hostile attitude towards Ofo. I guess I want to add to the power vacuum after Ronis's death by the way. ”

"Love the Empire?" the man frowned. "Over there...... There should be no problem. ”

"Even though there is a peace treaty in the way, I am still very worried. If the Necromantic Guild really wants to manipulate it, a peace treaty will not help. Now I just hope that the guys in the Diya Valley will be lucky enough to get your news as quickly as possible. Let's focus on it. ”

"Well, believe me, the news has spread all over Celeste now. The man nodded, thought for a moment, and said with some hesitation. "If it goes well here. I think...... Want to go back to the Academy of Magic...... Okay?"

"I don't need your request, I have my own task for you to go back to Ernfast, and by the way, I will allow you to visit your relatives. The figure smiled. "I just hope that the leader of our shadow team in the Blessed Land will not delay his official business for personal reasons. ”

"Naturally, it won't, but I don't want to go back and see it. The man had a strange expression. "Don't say anything about the title of leader, in fact, it's not just me?"

"I've arranged it for you, but orcs aren't suitable for human society. You'd better find some human companions yourself, the kind of people who are as shady as you are, and who are also very skilled. Now Oufu is most lacking in this kind of talent. ”

"I'm used to it on my own. The man pursed his lips and said lightly.

"It's not about whether you're used to it, it's about whether it's necessary. It's much easier to do anything with a group of people under your own command, and it's even more likely to do it. The figure paused and added. "You'll have a lot to do in the future, including when you go back to Edfast ......"

The man frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Maybe you are right, I have some manpower here...... I'll care. He was suddenly stunned and sighed. "Think about whether it's necessary...... How do I feel like I'm starting to get annoying......"

The light of the fragment of the small star in his hand began to flicker, and the mana in the fragment began to dry up.

"Nasty people usually live a little longer. Or rather, people will eventually become more annoying after living for a long time, hahaha......" The figure dropped the last sentence before disappearing.

With a crackle, the light of the star shard vanished completely, shattering into tiny, ordinary crystal shards. The man shrugged his shoulders helplessly, dropped the shards and turned away, scratching his head as he went, muttering, "I hate it...... Hate ......"

When they returned to the thieves' stronghold, two thieves with smiling faces greeted the man: "Mr. Sanders, the leader has asked us to prepare the best room for you, please rest well." ”

The man stabbed and sneered, and was led by the two thieves to a more remote room in the manor, where the other thieves had apparently received orders from the chief, and did not come near to disturb the noise, so that the dignitary could rest well.

Although the room was a little darker, it was very clean, and I didn't expect that there were still good housekeepers among the thieves. The man closed the doors and windows, sat on the edge of the bed and sighed, and suddenly said coldly: "Are you going to be stabbed by someone who attacked me as a sneak attacker, or do you want to walk out obediently?"

"Why can't you take me out?" a hoarse, sweet voice sounded. "Aren't you a man? Can't you see that I'm a woman? Don't you realize that there are only two of us here, a man and a woman? Can't you imagine what I want to do?"

"I'm not naΓ―ve enough to hear a woman hug her, no matter what the woman wants to do. The man didn't lift his head, his voice as cold as ice water. "I'll say one last thing, you'd better get out of it yourself. ”

A figure stepped out of the shadow of the doorman, with the steps of a cat and the posture of a leopard. Female leopard.

"What's wrong with being naΓ―ve?" this man had pitch-black hair, big eyes, a black bony face mixed with beautiful and wild charm, and a sturdy and slender black bodysuit that erupted everywhere. Her voice was the opposite of the man's cold tone, hot and hot. "Didn't you say that everyone comes from naivety......"
