The unexpected encounter with Shalofok did not have any impact on Zuo Si's itinerary. Since he appeared during the first negotiation, he has not been involved, but has begun to sweep the books of Candlecastle from shelf to shelf, and all of them have been stored in the [Thinking Library].

If you encounter a spell you haven't seen before and need to copy and save it, you must pay a lot of money to the priest of Ogmar, the god of knowledge.

One of the precious and rare

The "Scroll of Truth" is a copy of a copy that can even be as high as tens of thousands of gold coins. Because in Candle Castle, all outsiders are not allowed to copy any book without permission, and can only pay to hire a scribe from Candle Castle to do it.

Non-magical books are usually copied for about 100 gold coins. Usually it only takes a few zero-ring [transcriptions] to do it easily.

Magical books and scrolls, on the other hand, require a considerable amount of time and effort to transcribe by hand.

Add to this the added value of knowledge and monopolies, and expensive fees become a matter of course.

After all, when he was on Earth, Zuo Si had seen the ugly face of a certain paper plagiarism checking website. In contrast, although the charges of Candle Castle are expensive, at least you get what you pay for, and it is definitely worth the money.

Moreover, the church of Ogmar did not collect money simply to collect money, but used it for the collection and preservation of various precious texts, knowledge, and scrolls.

It is because of the tireless collection and preservation over the years that Candlecastle has become the largest and most comprehensive library on the West Coast.

Zuo Si, who was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, spent almost 300,000 gold coins in just a few days.

His extravagant performance shocked not only the priests who were in charge of the copying. Even the current supreme leader of Candlecastle

The "Guardian of the Scrolls", Urlant, was alarmed. On the one hand, Zuo Si's identity is too sensitive.

No one dares to despise the elect of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease. On the other hand, he may be carrying knowledge from another world, which is what Candlefort and Ogmar, the god of knowledge, value most.

After a dinner together, Ullant formally extended an invitation to Zuosi to attend a debate the following week.

This is the traditional repertoire of Candle Castle. There will be many people with different philosophical views who will come together to express their opinions on some of the more interesting topics.

Some of these people agree with good and orderly, some agree with evil and chaos, and some believe that neutrality and balance are the right path.

In short, the sparks of thought generated through these debates are invariably recorded as a gift to the God of Knowledge.

In return, the best performers can enter the most secret rooms of the Central Castle and read the books and scrolls that contain the most powerful magical knowledge.

Obviously, this was a temptation that Zuo Si couldn't refuse, so he agreed without even thinking about it.

Ullant didn't know that Zuo Si was about to copy most of the Candle Castle's collection in the past few days, and he didn't pay a penny

The word "white prostitute" has been brought to the extreme. … Only those spells that could not be recorded at all had to be copied at the expense of someone.

Wait until he's done with this

By the time the "Keeper of the Scroll" spoke back to the Candlekeep Inn, it was almost completely dark. As soon as he pushed open the door and walked into the hall, Sir Christian, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately ran over with his glass in hand, and said excitedly, "Sir South, I have good news for you. At dusk, the Duke of Silver Shield finally had to back down and sign a peace agreement with us. From the time the agreement came into force, Baldur's Gate would exempt Am's merchants from customs duties of at least fifty percent, while promising to renounce the sending of ships to trade with the Tesseres and Kalinfir in the south. This also means that the entire southern Jianwan and Baojianhai area have completely become the world of our Amber Chamber of Commerce. Everyone will make a windfall from it! And it's all thanks to you! Zuo Si hurriedly waved his hand and hinted meaningfully: "No, no, no, this is not my credit, but your credit." Don't forget, the series of operations to suppress Baldur's Gate is your plan and means. ”

"That's right! It's me! Damn it! It's all because alcohol affects the brain! Sir Christiane realised that he had said the wrong thing, and changed his words as quickly as he could.

Because there is an agreement between the two, Zuo Si is responsible for coming up with ideas, he is responsible for executing, and then he takes everything himself

The "pot" is all memorized. In this way, the former get real benefits, while the latter gain fame and political capital.

Win-win! The thought of being able to

Returning to Ascatra as a "hero" and enjoying the cheers of the people and merchants, Sir Christian felt as if a fire was burning in his heart.

The next thing he needs to consider is how to turn this fame and political capital into tangible power and wealth.

Especially how to divide up the Baldur's Gate after the signing of the treaty

"Cake" is definitely the top priority. Zuo Si undoubtedly sensed this, so he chuckled and reminded, "There are a few things you need to do to build momentum for yourself before returning to Azkatra. ”

"Momentum?" Sir Christian's eyes lit up slightly. After this negotiation, he can be regarded as having seen the other party's keen political sense and superb skill.

If it weren't for the fact that he looked too young on the outside, and he always had Bernard's sister Yin Shadora by his side.

The ambitious Amm nobleman even hoped to marry his daughter to Zuosi. Marriage and profit bondage were used to bind this wise and powerful god elect to his own family.

Even the whole family, young and old, converted to the goddess of poison and disease.

"Yes, build momentum. Am's current political form is supported by the five richest families and the shadow thieves and masked mages, forming a stable basis for rule. Among them, the Shadow Thieves and the Masked Mage Guild are both peripheral forces, and although they enjoy certain privileges, they do not belong to the core of the political structure. So if you want to go further, you have to find a way to win the support of at least half of the parliamentarians. … Make it clear to them that you are the one who has succeeded in taking down Baldur's Gate this time, and that you have secured a deal that will benefit everyone. In this way, even if your family is not rich enough, you can unite with other families to unite a force. And then use this force to get the power of the powder cake from the hands of the Council of Six. With the power to distribute benefits, you can gradually establish your prestige and become the real power under the Council of Six. When someone in the six-member council dies, you can take their place as a member of Amm's top decision-making team. Zuo Si bluntly said his thoughts and plans.

Although he had only been settled in Ascatra for a short time, he already had a deep understanding of how the business empire worked.

To put it simply, Amm is like the Republic of the Seven Provinces of the Netherlands (the predecessor of the Netherlands) shortly after the beginning of the Age of Discovery, and the whole society is full of greed and thirst for wealth.

In particular, he is very keen to seize and control trade routes in order to make huge profits. Even the opening up of overseas colonies and the establishment of ports, and the eventual formation of a monopoly on certain rare commodities, can be called exactly the same.

Yes! Amm is a country with strong colonial tendencies. Several settlements have even been established on the Moon Shadow Islands northwest of the Sword Sea.

One of them has become a base for explorers to continue their exploration of the Sea Without a Trace. If nothing else, they should have discovered the continent of Maztec across the sea in the next two years, thus setting off a wave of colonization and gold rush.

If you want to be in power in such a country, you have to prove that you can provide more and easier opportunities for businessmen to make money.

By funding Sir Kristian to become a member of the Council of Six. Not only can he gain a powerful ally politically, but he can also bring the Bernard family's chamber of commerce into a community of interests that spans the political, commercial, and magical worlds.

Although it seems that the group is still quite weak, not even enough to make a voice in Askatra.

But over time, it will soon slowly develop and grow. Combined with the arcane mystic society's plan to secretly control and develop the Nlanthor Islands, it won't be long before they can firmly establish a place in Am.

Just as Sir Christian's face appeared thoughtfully, and he opened his mouth to say something, the innkeeper Winthrop suddenly walked over from a distance and handed a note to Zuo Si: "Your Excellency, a gentleman has asked me to pass this on to you. ”

"Who is it?" Zuo Si subconsciously took it and glanced at the hall on the first floor.

"It's the mage standing in the corner, dressed in a black robe and with a goatee." Winthrop gestured to the corner to the right near the entrance.

Following the direction of his finger, Zuo Si soon saw a middle-aged man who gave people a polite feeling, and the latter even smiled and raised his glass.

Out of curiosity, he opened the note and glanced at it, only one person's name was written on it

"Clarice". … Moment! Zuo Si realized that the other party was a member of the Santarin Society, and he should still be a person of no low status

The members of the "Inner Ring" may be emissaries sent by the legendary mage Manson. Thinking of this, he immediately said to the Amm nobleman in front of him, "I'm sorry, sir. I need to deal with more important things now, and I'm afraid I'm going to miss me for a while. ”

"It doesn't matter. Let's go get busy with you first, and we'll talk about it when we get back to our room later. Sir Christiane also seems to have discovered that it was not safe to talk about intimate matters in such crowded places.

Because in addition to him, the Amm envoys also had members from several other wealthy and powerful families.

Walking through the noisy hotel hall, Zuo Si soon came to the man who had invited him, and asked in a tone that was not very sure: "What do you call it?" ”

"My name is Simon Monmon. It is a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency the Elect. The man smiled and gave his name.

"Simon Monmon? You're the Lord of the Dark Keep known as Manson's right hand? An extremely surprised expression appeared on Zuo Si's face.

Although the man in front of him was not as well-known in the Santarim as his teacher Manson, or as the chosen vote of the tyrannical god Bane, Fourzor Chamberberry, he was no less to be reckoned with.

In particular, several counterattacks against the Harpist League were perfectly planned and executed.

Simon nodded slightly: "That's right, it's me." But you'd better not take those rumors too seriously. Because there is a lot of false news that is confusing to the public, which I personally spread to confuse the enemy. ”

"Then what did you do when you crossed most of West Hartland to Candlefort? Don't tell me it's just to say hello. Zuo Si said tentatively with interest.

"My purpose for this trip is twofold. One is to show your gratitude for not killing Clarice and releasing her. The other is that I hope to reach some cooperation intentions with you. Schillan smiled and showed his intentions.

Polite, elegant, and with a gentle and magnetic voice...... I'm afraid it's hard for those who don't know how to imagine that such a person would be the top of the Santarin Society, the mastermind of countless conspiracies.

"Cooperation? You didn't even settle the account for the last time you tried to ambush me in Lucky Valley, and now you still want to talk to me about cooperation? Zuo Si pretended to sneer disdainfully.

Neither the Santarins nor the Harpists were a good thing in his opinion. Half of the crises and troubles in the Faren Continent are directly or indirectly related to the two organizations, or even created by them.

Xi Manmeng obviously expected this scene for a long time, and immediately took out a beautifully made book thirty centimeters high, twenty centimeters wide, and two centimeters thick from the backpack he carried with him, and handed it directly to Zuo Si.

"This is Lord Manson's apology for the last incident. I think it should be able to calm your anger and unravel the little misunderstandings between us. ”

"Oh—really?" Zuo Si deliberately dragged out a long note, and stretched out his hand to touch the secret lock on the cover of the iron and silver.

… Next Second...... The book, which didn't seem to be anything special, was easily opened. When he saw the content inside, Zuo Si immediately showed a strange expression, and kept speeding up the speed of flipping through it.

Because this is a spell book, it records many spells from the first ring to the seventh ring, and it is very comprehensive.

Even the relatively rare seven-ring magics such as [Mage's Mansion], [Spell Reversal], [Energy Immunity], [Weather Manipulation], [Limited Wish], [Body of War], [Elemental Body], and [Spell Matrix] are included.

On top of that, the book, though very thin and light, is a thousand pages long, and is clearly made through a very powerful magical force.

You must know that an ordinary spell book is two or three hundred pages at best. If you run out of blank pages, you'll have to buy another one, or you can add new blank pages to the original spell book through magic and craftsmanship, and each additional page will cost about 100 gold in material costs.

Therefore, most mages who are high enough and master enough spells tend to have more than one spell book.

"A book of blessings from Bokab that records almost all of the magic of the first to seven rings. I think this is enough to show the sincerity of His Excellency Manson. Schillan said meaningfully with the corners of his mouth curled.

Zuo Si nodded with a satisfied smile on his face: "You're right. I've forgotten that little misunderstanding. As the name suggests, the Book of Bokab Blessings refers to the spell books that have been blessed by Bokabu.

Bocab is next door

The god of magic in the world of "Gray Eagle". And the spell book that he blessed was undoubtedly the treasure that all mages were most eager to obtain.

After all, like those powerful legendary mages, they can easily master hundreds or even thousands of spells, and they will have to use more than ten or twenty copies to record them in ordinary spell books.

It can be replaced with the "Bokabu Blessing Book", and it is estimated that three to four copies will be done. It is very convenient to carry or rummage.

Zuo Si once asked Elsa, a magic goods merchant, that the Aurora Magic Shop occasionally sells such treasures from another world.

However, the price is often as high as tens of thousands of gold coins. And once the goods arrive, they will be bought in minutes, and they may not be able to grab the money.

Seeing that the gift he had carefully prepared successfully bought the other party, a trace of imperceptible pride flashed in Xi Manmeng's eyes, and he continued to take care of himself: "Since this is the case, let's talk about cooperation. ”

"Cooperation? What cooperation? Zuo Si deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked.

"I just said that I forgot about the misunderstanding, but I didn't say that I wanted to cooperate with your infamous Santarin." There is no doubt that this turn of face and denial of recognition made the smile on Xi Manmeng's face freeze on the spot, and the whole person froze in place for a long time without a word popping out of his mouth.

He never dreamed that Zuo Si, who was a god's chosen person, could be so shameless, and he turned his face directly after receiving the gift.

"Poofhahahaha! I can't believe you have today! With a burst of laughter, an old man sitting not far from him with gray hair and beard and a wizard's hat on his head stood up and walked slowly.

… And the moment Xi Manmeng saw this old man, Tong Kong expanded uncontrollably and rapidly, and his two hands even subconsciously made a spell casting action, and the reaction was as if he had encountered a natural enemy.

But in the end, he didn't dare to make any threats, but stood up and saluted respectfully: "It's a great honor to meet you at Candlefort, Lord Yinlminster. "Obviously, it is none other than the famous First Elect of the Goddess of Magic, the Great Sage of the Valley of Shadows, and one of the most famous legendary mages of Feron - Yin Erminster.

"Is your teacher Manson okay lately? I've heard that since the rise of the Church of Sherik, his grip on Santil has become weaker and weaker. The old man asked kindly.

Through the information provided by the Harper's Alliance, he knew very well that Manson was not having a good time right now. Therefore, he deliberately used this way to provoke Simon to make him act irrationally in anger, such as actively attacking himself.

In this way, it is possible to justifiably get rid of one of the most threatening Tallinn Members

Members of the "Inner Ring". It's a pity that Xi Manmeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately responded quietly: "Thank you for your concern, the teacher is very good now." The stupid and crazy guys of the Ciric Church can't be his opponent at all. ”

"yes, that's a shame. If there's nothing else to do, can I trouble you to stay away? I'm going to have a voter-to-voter conversation with this young man. Yin Erminster unceremoniously and directly expelled the high-level of the Santalin Society in front of him, who made him feel uncomfortable.

"No problem, I'll leave right away." Without saying a word, Simon immediately turned and left the inn, disappearing into the night.

He didn't dare to gamble that the first elect of the goddess of magic really wouldn't do it. You must know that Yin Erminster is one of the most existing spellcasters in the entire Faeron who has participated in spell duels the most, and has unimaginable experience and methods, and the number of high-level spellcasters who have died at his hands is simply too many to count.

Even when Manson himself came, he could not guarantee that he would retreat in front of this old man who had lived for more than a thousand years.

This is also why, Yin Erminster is obviously not a high casting level among many legendary mages, but no one dares to underestimate him.

Many times in mage-to-mage battles, the casting level doesn't mean everything. With Xi Manmeng leaving, Zuo Si quickly focused all his attention on the old man in front of him.

He could feel that the other party's body contained the same amazing divine power as himself. If nothing else, it is the silver fire bestowed by the goddess of magic on the elect.

Again, Yin Erminster is clear

"Observed" the two divine powers contained in Zuo Si's body, and an undisguised shock appeared on the wrinkled old face.

In particular, the divine power of the murder god Baal almost made him think that he had met a son of the god.

But soon, he realized that this was the remaining divine power in the heart, which was used to restrain the goddess of poison and disease.

As long as this power is there, Talona doesn't want to easily detonate the terrible viruses, bacteria, and toxins in the body's furnace.

… The two stared at each other like this for a minute, and finally it was Yin Erminster who broke the silence first, took out his beloved pipe and asked with a smile, "Don't you mind if I smoke a bag of cigarettes?" ”

"Please." Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently. If it were really on Earth, he would definitely stop anyone who tried to smoke within 30 meters of him, and scolded the other party for not having a sense of morality, and increasing his chances of developing lung cancer for no reason.

But now...... Everything doesn't matter anymore. Because the things contained in Zuosi's body are much more harmful than the tar and nicotine produced by tobacco burning.

And with the blessing of divine power and the spark of the traveling mage, he has long been out of the category of ordinary people.

All kinds of things that were originally harmful to the body are now the key to the fusion and evolution of viruses, bacteria and toxins.

After receiving permission, Yin Erminster immediately lit his pipe and took a deep breath, his face full of enjoyment.

After taking several puffs in a row, he asked in a slightly curious tone, "Why did you refuse Xi Manmeng's invitation to cooperate just now?" You must know that the Santarin Society is the most powerful intelligence network in the entire Faeron Continent. If you cooperate with them, it will be a good choice to spread the teachings of Talona and expand the influence of the goddess. ”

"I think you seem to have misunderstood something. Although I am a vote of the goddess of poison and disease, I am not a believer in her, and I do not endorse the frivolous and ridiculous teachings at all. If I could, I wouldn't even want to have anything to do with Talona's church and believers in the physical world. Zuo Si didn't have any intention of concealing it, and generously said the truest thoughts in his heart.

"A chosen person who does not believe in God? You're just as interesting and special as the rumors say. Yin Erminster commented with a smile.

Although he had known this for a long time, he still felt a little unbelievable when he heard Zuo Si admit it himself.

What is even more unbelievable is that such a voter who does not believe in the goddess of poison and disease at all has almost multiplied Talona's influence in the material world and the number of believers in a short period of time.

If it continues to develop at this rate, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be discontinued

"Weak Divine Power" was promoted

"Medium Divine Power". Don't underestimate this. If it is said

"Weak divine power" still belongs to the kind of gods who need to find a backer to protect themselves, then

"Medium Divine Power" even if faced alone

There is no need to be afraid of the threat of "powerful divine powers".

"That's why you've come all the way from the Valley of Shadows? Want to see if I'm a new threat? Zuo Si asked quietly rhetorically.

He has always watched the development of the Church of Talona. At least after the completion of the temple in Askatra, countless people will come to worship and donate every day, hoping that the Mother of Plague will not let her terrible elect destroy the world.

While it is doubtful how many of them were truly devout, it is an indisputable fact that their faith and influence were widely disseminated.

This, coupled with the fact that Zuosi strictly restrained the actions of the Ames, led the Council of Six to see it as a controllable weapon that could be used to deter other enemies and rivals.

… As a result, instead of restricting it, it secretly gave many hidden conveniences. Some nobles even paid a lot of money to hire the priests of Talona to make poisons, antidotes, and magic potions for their families in case of emergency.

In addition, a small number of less wicked young pastors began to preach to the poor about how to maintain hygiene, prevent disease, and identify various poisonous mushrooms and harmful substances, and succeeded in winning the favor of many people at the bottom of society.

Sometimes, Zuo Si even feels that making himself a voter is the next big game of chess for Talona, the goddess of poison and disease.

After all, chaos has no reason and no purpose. Its very existence is a reason, an end.

Never speculate on the thoughts of a chaotic faction deity, for they act in a way that has no logic at all, let alone can be predicted.

As an old smoking gun, Yin Erminster quickly finished smoking the tobacco in his pipe, licked his lips unsatisfied, and then casually put away his pipe and said, "I admit that I did have such thoughts before I met you in person. But now, I've given up on my original idea. Because you are a pure mage, whether it is spiritual, ideological, or values. And a pure mage can hardly believe in any god. All you care about is knowledge, power, and everything you're interested in. If you had been born in the Nethrel era, I think you would have a good chance of becoming a Grand Arcanist. But I'm here not only to see if you're a threat, but also to meet your otherworldly magical system with the mission of the Goddess of Magic. That's right! I'm talking about fun cards that you've used more than once in battle. ”

"The new Goddess of Magic?" Zuo Si subconsciously frowned. He didn't expect that he would even cause the third-generation goddess of magic to wake up at midnight.

To be precise, this female mage, like Ciric, who made a lot of moves in the turbulent years, and even killed the second generation of Mirko, the god of death, really doesn't have a strong sense of existence.

The only thing that is impressive is that some time ago, he tried to directly prohibit the followers of the Shirek Church, or some other evil organization spellcasters, from using the power of magic through his absolute control of the magic web.

The goddess of magic herself gave it

"Disconnected", just ask if you are afraid? The result was not surprising, and it immediately attracted a strong backlash. Both the gods of the good camp and the gods of the evil camp have united to resist this abuse of the priesthood.

In desperation, Midnight had no choice but to give up. Through this, she understood her duties as a goddess of magic, and the harsh reality that magic must be 100% neutral.

To put it simply, the third-generation goddess of magic has not yet adapted to her new identity, and still retains many of her mortal memories and personality.

This is evident from the constant trouble she keeps getting into Ciric. But this state of affairs will not last long, and the mortal nature will be assimilated under the influence of the priesthood.

So being a god doesn't mean a good thing a lot of the time. … At least it's completely different from what many people think they can do whatever they want with their great power, and they may even lose their original sense of self altogether.

However, for Zuo Si, being the goddess of magic is not a bad thing. Because the latter's priesthood is determined, she will encourage and protect all research and innovation related to magic.

Touching the gray beard on his chin, Yin Erminster explained, "The goddess is very interested in your way of casting spells that can be shaped by drawing power directly from primordial energy without going through the magic web. Of course, I'm curious how you do it. ”

"Can I get any benefit from this?" Zuo Si asked bluntly.

"The benefits? Isn't it enough to gain the favor of the Mother of Magic? Yin Erminster asked rhetorically with a smirk.

Zuo Si rolled his eyes angrily: "Not enough, of course not enough." I need tangible benefits that I can see and touch, not something boring like some god's favor. The latter has no meaning or value in my eyes. Hearing such blasphemous words, Yin Erminster was not angry, but let out a hearty laugh: "Hahahaha! The way you look now reminds me of a lot of young and egotistical mages. They used to be just as dismissive of the gods as you are, and even tried to kill the gods in their place. ”

"No, I'm not like them. I know very well what God is and what the source of my power is. As he spoke, a card of a traveling mage suddenly appeared out of thin air in Zuo Si's hand.

Yin Erminster was keenly aware of the power contained in this small card, and immediately put away his previous cynical attitude, and said with a serious and tentative face: "What is this?" A magic item like the [Vientiane Impermanence Card]? ”

"I'm not going to tell you the answer, but you can see for yourself." The voice has not fallen! Left: Activate the card between the index and middle fingers.

Then the card vanished into a light and disappeared without a trace, while an inconspicuous pebble fell on the table.

Before Yin Erminster could react to what was happening, he found that all the sounds around him had disappeared, and he wanted to speak, but he only made empty movements but couldn't make a single sound.

Although with the magical power he possesses, he can pass it completely

"Silver Fire" and the powerful immunity of the legendary mage to fight it. But this kind of spell does not require any spells, movements, and does not use super magic techniques to spell instantaneously, just a thought can create a blessed [Silence Technique] stone out of thin air, completely subverting his perception of magic.

Then, Zuo Si picked up the small stone again to activate the ability of the traveling mage, and once again turned the stone into a card that was clamped to his fingertips.

Without a doubt, this is a typical treasure card that can be freely switched between cards and items after paying very little mana.

The function is also very simple, that is, during the battle, through the [Projectile Item] and [Adhesion] of the Zero Ring, the stone will be directly glued to a specific position, so that the caster in the area cannot chant the spell normally.

In addition to this, it can also be used to create a completely silent environment during ambushes. …

"How did you do that?" Yin Erminster stared at the inconspicuous card in Zuo Si's hand, showing caution for the first time.

As a person who has hunted many high-level spellcasters

The "Mage Killer", he knows better than any other spellcaster how dangerous a power like this one is of unknown origin and completely different from the known casting system can be in a spell duel.

In many cases, the outcome of a mage duel does not depend on the powerful Nine Rings or even the legendary magic.

Because these spells require a long spell chant when casting, and at the same time, they will also cause violent mana fluctuations, which will make the opponent more vigilant 100%.

But those low-level spells and inconspicuous gadgets are very easy to overlook. Yin Erminster himself had seen a high-level elven mage who had been killed by Zero Ring [Mage's Hand].

The latter was wearing a [Mirror Cloak] at the time, which can almost make the wearer bounce and deflect all magic damage, and is a very powerful magic item.

But the result? When the elven mage successfully prepared a powerful plastic magic, his opponent used the [Mage's Hand] to pull the [Mirror Cloak] to wrap his entire person.

In the end, under the strong rebound of the [Mirror Cloak], the elf mage ate the plastic energy magic released by himself at zero distance because he did not bless himself with protective magic, and was blown up on the spot.

Since then, Yin Erminster has understood a truth. There is no such thing as being strong or weak in a spell, only being used properly and inappropriately.

Appreciating the expression on the face of the First Elect of the Goddess of Magic, Zuo Si replied in a slightly playful tone, "Aren't you here for this?" I've shown it to you. As for whether you can read it or not, that's your business, and it has nothing to do with me. Also, don't forget to prepare me with a benefit. I believe that the dignified goddess of magic shouldn't be too stingy, right? ”

"Damn! You're really giving me a problem. If I'm willing to offer a powerful magic item in exchange, can you tell me the mystery? As he said this, Yin Erminster raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, obviously feeling a great headache from this.

Because he couldn't tell what was going on when the card turned into a stone and when the stone turned back into a card.

In particular, all the magical energy did not pass through the magic net, let alone use the original magical energy in the environment, but was released from Zuo Si's body.

This meant that even the Goddess of Magic would not be able to use her priesthood to replicate any of the new magic that had been invented, created, or used in Faeron as she had done before.

Yin Erminster only understood at this moment the reason and reason why the goddess let herself run in person.

"I'm sorry. No matter what you give in exchange, I won't reveal my hole cards to anyone. But if you're willing to take out your research notes on Silver Fire, I can give you this card. You can take it for magical research, or you can give it to the Goddess of Magic. Zuo Si took the opportunity to propose a quid pro quo.

As we all know, Yin Erminster is the one who has the deepest understanding of divine power among all the mortals in the whole of Faeron, and has even developed many about

The use of "silver fire" energy. … And these research notes on divine power happen to be the most urgent thing for Zuo Si at the moment.

While the divine powers of the Goddess of Magic and the Goddess of Poison and Disease are certainly very different, there are certainly some things in common.

If you can have a deeper understanding of the divine power, you may be able to speed up the transformation efficiency, and strive to use the power of the spark to transform it into your own as soon as possible.

As for whether a card will reveal the identity of the traveling mage, Zuo Si is not worried at all. Because the core strength of the Brigade Mage has always been

The "spark", like the divine spark of the gods, is something that cannot be described in words and cannot be understood in normal ways.

As long as it is not actively exposed, others will hardly be aware of its existence.

"You want to know about divine powers?" Yin Erminster raised an eyebrow, keenly aware of the other party's intentions.

Zuo Si nodded crisply: "Yes." Unlike someone like you who willingly gives everything you have to God. I'm very wary of the forces in my body that don't belong to me, even if they give me amazing electorate power. ”

"Incredible! Are you suspicious of the goddess of poison and plague who gave you the identity of the elect? Think she's ill-intentioned? Yin Erminster leaned forward slightly, his eyes shining strangely, as if he had found something interesting.

After all, it's one thing not to believe, it's another thing to doubt and distrust.

"Why should I trust her? This voter identity was not what I wanted, but something that Talona had forced into me. At that time, I was not even qualified to refuse. Okay, I guess that's all for today's conversation. We have different values and different underlying thinking logics, so we don't have a common language. Remember, before I leave Candle Castle, you can always take Silverfire's research notes with you to trade. Once I leave Candlekeep, you'll lose your chance to get this card forever. After that, Zuo Si ignored Yin Erminster's reaction, and directly stood up and walked towards the guest room on the second floor.
