Chapter 210: "Demon Man" Irenikas (10,000 Words Subscription Requested)

Since returning to the Mage Tower, Zuo Si has begun to improve his strength in an orderly manner according to the plan.

He first spent some time crafting the corpses of the two Eyed Demons into the Dead-Eye Tyrant with the help of the Lichs, and sealed them in cards as ready-to-summon creatures.

Immediately after, he summoned the blue-footed dragon snake and studied the arcane mark left by the "mad mage" Helast Black Robe.

Finally, he completed the dissection of the benthic devilfish by himself, and figured out the strange physiological structure of this ancient creature, as well as their incredible way of inheriting memories.

Of course, these are the results of vivisection and narration by the benthic devilfish themselves.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for outsiders to understand some of the mysteries if they relied solely on dissection, visual observation, and magical detection.

This is because benthic mobs are classified as "weird" because their body structure is very different from other "natural" creatures.

Many organs, especially the brain, which is protected by a hard skull at the back of the eye, are not made of nerve cells at all, but are encased in a cloud of dark red blood.

If someone tries to remove brain tissue from the bloodstream, the brain tissue will quickly melt into a puddle of viscous liquid within a matter of seconds.

That's why, some of the powerful mages who wrote the Book of Strange Things dissected and studied many benthic devilfish, but never described in detail the structure and purpose of the brain.

According to the benthic motfish's own account, their brains are derived from the blood of an ancient evil creature, Paises, and are incomprehensible to mortals and even gods.

So no one can figure out what is going on with the brains of benthic devilfish, and why they can accumulate and pass on memories infinitely until the end of the world, or the end of time, even if they themselves are no exception.

In addition, Zuo Si also extracted a large amount of lost history and secrets from the brain of this benthic demon fish, some spell models that may be outdated but still have learning and reference value, as well as knowledge of magic and psychic abilities.

Finally, there are more than a dozen benthic demon fish cities hidden in the deep sea and even in the dark area "Shimmer Sea".

Yes!

These ancient races, which are so ancient that even most gods cannot match them, are still maintaining the civilization they have created, and no matter how many disasters and changes they have experienced, they have never been broken.

"The benthic devilfish is really an incredible creature......"

After reading the experimental notes he wrote by himself these days, Zuo Si couldn't help but sigh.

In the same way, he developed a strong interest in those beings who transcended the gods, the ancient evils.

Because if the power of God comes from spirit and faith, then the power of ancient evil comes from the chaos and distortion in the depths of the universe that cannot be described in words.

Of course, just as there is a huge gap in the divine power between the gods, there are also strong and weak ancient evil things.

Some can only cause a certain threat and trouble to the gods, but others have the terrifying power to easily destroy a world, and even slaughter all the gods in that world. …

And the "Scarlet Queen" Paises, who created the benthic magic fish, is undoubtedly one of the best.

It is said that some cultists have summoned this terrifying ancient cult in other worlds.

As a result, the latter simply showed up and quickly left, causing the death of hundreds of millions of living beings.

And the whole world will fall into complete madness for a long time in the future, and a large number of creatures will be eroded and transformed by the blood left behind inadvertently, and it will take at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to repair before it is possible to slowly return to normal.

Just as Zuo Si closed the notes and put them back on the bookshelf, he immediately saw Jeffrey hurriedly running in from outside, shouting excitedly: "Your Excellency! After days of sleepless research, we finally figured out what was going on with the mark left by the mad mage Hylaster Black-robed on the blue-footed dragon-colored scales. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. An interested expression appeared on Zuo Si's face.

Since he mainly focused on the study of benthic demon fish, he temporarily handed over the blue-footed dragon snake to a few lichs who were the best at rune research.

Jeffrey hurriedly explained, "Based on several detections and analysis, we found that the mark was actually composed of more than two dozen complex runes mixed together. It's kind of like a red-robed mage's magic tattoo, and a bit like magic constant, or something in between. In short, this method can permanently add some magical effects to the surface of the creature. ”

"What about the cost?"

Zuo Si quickly raised the question he was most concerned about.

Because it is not difficult to have constant magic in living beings.

The only restrictions are the level of cast, and the variety of rare materials required to cast the magic constantly.

For example, a second-ring [Dark Vision] will cost almost 5,000 gold coins in materials to constantly, and the caster must have at least LV10 cast level.

As for the constant cost of other high-ring spells, there is naturally no need to say much, just one word "expensive".

Of course, in addition to being able to be constant on people, it is also possible to constancy magic on some objects, so that they have a permanent magical effect.

A lot of high-level magic equipment is made this way.

In contrast, the cost of the magic tattoo technique of the red-robed wizards is relatively cheap.

And you can tattoo up to three.

Some red-robed mages will even shave their hair to increase the area of skin available for tattoos in order to accommodate as many and more powerful magical tattoos on their body as possible.

This is also the reason why most red-robed wizards are bald.

If the "Mad Mage", who is a remnant of the Yin Muska Empire, has better skills, then Zuo Si doesn't mind taking it as a reward at all and distributing it to the peripheral members who have contributed the most.

I believe that there are many mages and adventurers who will do their best to complete those dangerous tasks for the sake of a secret magic mark that can infinitely release a specific spell.

Geoffrey pondered for a moment and immediately responded, "I'm sorry, we don't know much about these runes for the time being, and we can only barely achieve limited low-level magic such as constant [Invisibility Technique], [Colorful Jet], and [Sleep Technique]. If nothing else, the cost of the spell should not exceed 1,000 gold, including the casting materials. ”…

"In other words, Hylast Black Robe should have a complete and cheaper set of magic constant technology in his hands?"

Zuo Si touched his chin with a thoughtful expression.

"That's right! I think this should be a unique skill that he summed up little by little when he used magical power to build a huge leyline maze.

It could even be part of the Leyline's maze's massive magical structure that resembles a lock.

Otherwise, even for a legendary mage, it would be an impossible task to constantly apply magic effects to an area that is as huge as several cities combined. ”

Jeffrey spoke his reasoning with gusto.

Compared to his ambitious friend Vanessa, he is clearly a typical scholar-type mage, preferring to spend long periods of time in the tower studying topics of interest to him.

"Interesting...... Let's put the constancy of these spells in the exchangeable position first. I think there will be a lot of people interested in this. By the way, how many peripheral members are there in the organization now? Zuo Si asked casually.

"If you don't count the pirates who are already under control, and the adventurers who are simply hired for hire, the current number of members on the periphery of the organization is about four hundred.

Seventy of them were the apprentices and disciples we had previously accepted, and they formed the most trusted part of the outer members.

Then there are some elite adventure squads that have been working together for a long time, and two mercenary groups with about eighty people.

Finally, there are three succubi, two seduction, and a six-armed snake demon that can be used as temporary commanders for some operations and plans.

However, the scope of activity is limited to the area around the Kingdom of Tether and the area between the Sea of Swords and the Bay of Blades.

Since the uninhabited Kurin Islands in the northern part of the Moonshadow Sea have been taken, all pirate ships heading south from the north have been completely blocked.

So whether it's the pirates of the Whalebone Islands or the Luskan pirates controlled by the Arcane Brotherhood, they now see us as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh. ”

Jeffrey gave a succinct account of the situation.

Because many of these peripheral members have developed directly from the original apprentices, collaborators, and private armies of the core members.

As the leader of the organization, Zuo Si is definitely not very clear.

Yes!

In the Faeron Continent, almost every high-level mage will have some personal weapons of their own to a greater or lesser extent.

Among them, the high-ranking red-robed wizards who hold the highest power in the Searle country have legal "private armies" ranging from dozens to hundreds, which can also be called "followers".

You must know that these armies are not ordinary soldiers without professional ranks, but at least composed of warriors, thieves, mages, warlocks, druyin, priests, etc., who are above LV3.

Some of them are hired simply for money;

Some of them have received the favor of the mages or their family members, so they want to repay this kindness;

Some want to get some ways to make themselves stronger from the profound knowledge of high-level mages, or get some powerful magic items and equipment;

Others are in awe and worship of magical powers, so they resolutely choose to become a follower. …

In the case of mages from the evil faction, their personal armament may also include monsters such as orcs, goblins, bear goblins, gnolls, trolls, ogres, giants, as well as demons, demons, and even dragons summoned from the Otherworld.

If you look at the Leyline Maze created by the "Mad Mage" Hylaster Black Robe, you can see that as long as a powerful spellcaster has enough time, let alone form an army, it is not difficult to build a city or even a country.

After listening to the lich's report, Zuo Si touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that you have integrated the available human resources at hand well. But be cautious when expanding, I don't want too many spies and spies from other forces. ”

"Please don't worry about that. We've always been very careful when recruiting members, and we won't allow anyone with suspicious identities or deeds to have access to the core secrets of the organization. In addition, regarding the batch of small energy storage devices that you provided last time, I have already developed the corresponding weapons according to the requirements, please take a look. ”

As he spoke, Jeffrey pulled out a gun-like object from his bosom.

"It's ......"

Zuo Si took it and glanced at it twice, revealing a very different expression.

Because though this thing looks like the sharpest part of the front end of the spear.

But if you look closely, you can see that it is not solid metal at all, but a cylindrical energy storage device about the length of two hands, about the thickness of a sword hilt, embedded inside.

Judging from the reserved space for wrapping the iron sheet on the outside, it should be directly placed on the top of the wooden handle and then fixed.

Jeffrey explained in a slightly smug tone, "This is the weapon I designed. Not only can it inflict additional lightning damage when the attack hits, but it can also cause mass damage to enemies within a straight line of tens of meters away by unleashing an arc.

According to the test, such a lightning spear, when charged, can unleash five ranged attacks in combat.

If used together, they can often cause quite astonishing damage to enemies.

At present, more than 300 units have been produced, and they have just been delivered to the fleets operating in the north near Baldur's Gate, and it is believed that feedback will be available soon. ”

No doubt!

This so-called lightning spear is actually a small electric energy storage device with a shell.

Since it is equipped in batches for elite soldiers, the materials and costs are compressed to the extreme.

At the beginning, it only took a few hours for Zuo Si to make a share that could equip hundreds of people.

And the cost of a single is only fifteen gold coins, and the portal and the huge wind turbine are connected to the air elemental plane through the mage tower.

The main reason why he did this was to provide the reorganized pirates with a cheap and easy to operate long-range attack.

Ensure that even without the support of the caster, they are the most powerful maritime power on the west coast of the entire continent of Faeren.

As for the artillery......

Sorry, there's more powerful magic available, and who wants to play with that primitive gunpowder weapon with impressive hits. …

You must know that even in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the hit rate of the two belligerents was only about 5 percent.

That is, only one shot of a modern artillery gun has the potential to hit an enemy ship after firing twenty-five shells in a row.

What's more, gunpowder weapons have extremely demanding requirements for the industrial base and logistical support.

Zuo Sike had no interest in developing an industrial base from scratch and establishing a school to train a group of talents in mathematics, metallurgy and chemistry.

Nor is it possible to unleash tons of shells and explosives with the creator's ability to do nothing all day.

To sum up, the cost of time invested is too high, and the gains outweigh the losses.

On the contrary, it is directly improved to use some cheap magic devices as weapons, which can exert unexpected and powerful lethality.

In fact, Zuo Si had already provided the pirates with a large bed crossbow arrow that was hollowed out in the middle and then stuffed into a jar of fiery glue, as a large killing weapon to be used in naval engagements.

Once the giant arrow misses the deck or the gang, it will immediately puncture the blazing glue hidden inside due to the reaction force of the arrow, causing the viscous liquid to come into contact with the air, and then quickly begin to burn violently, and finally turn a wooden sailing ship into a sea of fire.

The effect is somewhat similar to that of an incendiary grenade.

But even more difficult than the incendiary bomb is that the fiery glue is an out-and-out alchemical item.

It is impossible to extinguish it by any non-magical means until it is completely burned out.

The problem of hit rate only needs to be solved by equipping the personnel responsible for operating the bed crossbow and firing with a ring that stores the [Defeat the Enemy].

However, considering that the production cost of incandescent glue is really a bit high, this alternative plan is available.

After all, the current naval battles on the Faren Continent are mainly based on broadside battles.

It can inflict a fierce group arc strike on the enemy within a range of tens of meters, and the damage it causes is enough to make most of the sailors and soldiers who are not strong enough to collapse in an instant.

Thinking of this, Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction: "Good job." But how are you going to solve the charge problem? After the energy is exhausted, directly replace the spear head and bring it back to the Mage Tower for rotation? ”

"I have two sets of plans.

One set is what you just mentioned, making substitutions.

The advantage of this is that the pirate-turned-fleet can be firmly controlled at the source, so that they can understand who the real master is.

In addition to this, I have a backup plan to put a charged ship in the fleet.

A large number of lightning lizards are then bred in the cabins.

These magical beasts, which are about the size of dogs, can erupt lightning bolts with incredible power from their bodies.

It only takes an hour or two to recharge hundreds of spears. ”

Jeffrey was unhurried to reveal all the plans he had prepared in advance.

Bioelectricity?

Green energy?

Sustainability?

For this outstanding idea, Zuo Si immediately affirmed: "Great." Just do what you think and be bold. ”

"Thank you very much for your trust and support. Rest assured, I guarantee that you will not be disappointed in the development of new weapons in the future. ”…

After saying this, Jeffrey put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply, then turned to leave.

When the lich was completely far away, Zuo Si stared at the spear in his hand and muttered with a smile, "Have you already equipped the navy around Baldur's Gate?" It seems that the dukes are going to be out of luck. ”

Just as he was about to extract the reserve energy of the Mage Tower to increase the level of [Mystic] Master, he suddenly received a message from the [Text Message].

It was none other than Lei Yin, who had completely taken control of the Emerald Society.

The purpose is also very simple!

It's to meet up with Irenikas hiding in the sewers of the Hold Gold Mall area, and see if we can dig up some elf-specific magic from him.

Without any hesitation!

After Zuo Si checked the equipment and the spells and magic he had prepared this morning, he immediately covered his face with his hood, left the tower alone, and hurried to the meeting place at great speed.

In about twenty minutes or so, he came to the vicinity of the population under the mall district.

Lei Yin, who had been waiting here for a long time, did not dare to slack off, and immediately bent down and bowed deeply: "Master......"

"How's the situation on the Emerald Society's side?"

Zuo Si took off his hood and then asked.

Rein hurriedly replied, "I have complete control over everything in this organization in Kzula's lair.

And I compiled a list of members scattered all over Am.

The vein of gems, which was secretly controlled, could provide at least five hundred fine gems worth no less than one thousand gold coins and thousands of medium gems worth one hundred to five hundred gold coins per year, if there was sufficient labor.

As for the number of low-grade gems worth less than 100 gold coins, the number is even higher.

It is precisely by relying on the astonishing wealth brought by this vein that the Emerald Society can maintain its existence and development under the suppression of the Masked Mage Guild.

In addition, I found that most of the members of the group were concentrated in the two cities in the south that bordered the kingdom of Tessel.

And they are using various means to infiltrate the upper ruling class, apparently intending to secretly seize control of the city and then expel the masked mages and shadow thieves. ”

"Keep an eye on the situation, but don't bother with them. Also, hasn't Shangra, the Lord of Symbols, been in contact with you lately? ”

Zuo Si raised his head and straightforwardly raised the question he was most concerned about.

Compared to a small organization like the Emerald Society, the entanglement sigil is obviously a big problem.

Especially after learning that Ragon and other legendary mages wanted to turn themselves into lichs like them, Zuo Si's vigilance in his heart was directly pulled to the highest.

As the saying goes, dogs that bite don't bark.

The more powerful but low-key an organization like the Entangled Talisman, the more careful and vigilant it must be.

Lei Yin shook her head slightly: "No." My teacher wasn't the kind of person who was acute.

When he hands over a task to his cronies, he usually doesn't have a year or two without taking the initiative to ask.

In his opinion, patience is a prerequisite for everything to run smoothly.

If you are too impatient, it will lead to all kinds of loopholes and problems. …

This does not conform to the guidelines of the Entangled Charm to act in concealment. ”

"I can't imagine that Shangra is still a patient person. In that case, I'll stimulate him a little. Here's an overview of the creator profession. You take it and give it to him and see how he reacts. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Si took out the "bait" he had prepared for the entanglement talisman from his satchel.

Because he knew that he had been targeted by the Entanglement Talisman in the first place, and the Eight Achievements were the powerful abilities of the creator profession when they made their own magic items.

So whether it's Shangla or Ragon, after getting this notebook, they will find a way to study and try it.

Let's not talk about whether Faeron's unique spell casting environment all over the magic web can really succeed in inaugurating as a creator.

Even if the opponent does succeed, they will lose all spellcasting abilities because of this.

After all, they can separate some of their special classes without the land card of the traveling mage, and then permanently bind them to another world, without conflicting with other spellcasting classes in the current world.

To put it simply, Zuo Si's purpose is to use this notebook to "pit" the other party.

It would be best if you could successfully abolish one or two Talisman Masters.

If you can't scrap it, you can also take the opportunity to arouse the desire in the other party's heart for the knowledge and power of magic in another world, so as to make some small actions frequently, so that you can take advantage of it.

"As you wish, master."

Rein took the note with both hands and carefully placed it in the magic pocket she carried with her.

After a brief conversation, the two walked down the intricate sewers.

After a while, he saw the clay golem guarding the door of the secret base.

Judging by the newness of the clay on the golem's body, these were made in the most recent past.

In other words, Irenikas already has plenty of guards in his base.

The Clay Golem apparently recognized Rein, so without saying a word, he turned to inform his creator.

About three to five minutes, a man with some kind of gelatinous black hood wrapped in some kind of rubber from the neck to the back of his head walked out of the end of the passage where he couldn't see his fingers.

He looked very muscular, with muscles that normal mages could not match, and his exposed face was densely packed with bulging veins from his forehead to around his eyes, extending backwards to his obscured ears and the top of his head.

You don't have to ask to know that this is Joan Irenikas, a powerful spellcaster who is crazy enough to become a god.

The reason why he had to dress up like this was to hide the tragic state of his elven appearance and essence, especially the iconic pointed ears that had been cut off.

There are only two oval-shaped magic hearing aids left in brass.

And those bulging veins on the face are proof that the body is aging at an unimaginable rate.

Even this face was created through cloning magic and then forcibly sewn on.

Beneath the false face is a face that is too old to describe in words.

Since it was the first time they met, Zuosi and Irenikas looked at each other for a full minute, both trying to figure out each other's casting level and power. …

In the end, it was Lei Yin who was the first to speak and broke the silence.

"As promised, I have brought people here now. If you have any requests or trades, you can do so in person now. ”

"I'm glad you kept your promise."

Irenikas managed to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying.

For him, this is already a very friendly attitude.

Rein smiled in return, and stepped aside to say that she would not participate in the rest of the conversation.

However, as long as Zuo Si gives an order, as a summoned creature, she will turn into a powerful spellcaster in a few minutes and fight for her master.

Fortunately, Irenikas did not mean to do anything, but like an elegant elven nobleman, he greeted in a very polite tone: "Good afternoon, Elect of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease. Although we may have had a little misunderstanding before, the fact that you can come today shows that you didn't take it to heart. Isn't it? ”

"Just be polite. I know who you are as much as you know who I am. Since you want to study divine powers, please show some sincerity. ”

Zuo Si unceremoniously interrupted the other party's intention to set a close approach.

With what he knew about Irenikas, he knew even more than the man knew about himself.

Since being deprived of the elf's identity, the essence of life, and banished by the elven queen Alistar, Irenikas has actually completely turned into a "madman", which can also be called a "demon man".

In addition to taking revenge on the elves of Sodenisra, all this guy did was to regain his lost elven identity, and then enter the realm of the elven gods as a god, Avander.

As long as he could do this, Irenikas could sacrifice everything, give up everything, and even risk his life and even his soul being assimilated, degraded, and eventually become a part of the god of killing, Baal.

Although Irenikas was definitely not the most prepared and closest to success among the many powerful spellcasters in Ferron's quest to become a god, he was definitely the craziest.

He doesn't have any morality, and there is no so-called bottom line.

Coupled with his powerful spell-casting ability and the rational thinking pattern he has cultivated for a long time as a mage, he is simply a super dangerous person like Samast, the founder of the Dragon Worship Sect.

After all, sane madmen are more terrible than madmen who have fallen into complete madness.

"Sincerity? What do you want from me? Irenikas touched his chin and asked with interest.

"It's easy! I want all the magical knowledge and skill you have at hand. Especially the part about the magic that is unique to elves, and how to build a puzzle lock. ”

Zuo Si bluntly prescribes the conditions.

Because he knows that the other party will not refuse at all.

As expected, Irenikas pondered for a moment before immediately smiling and nodding, "Yes." But in exchange, you're going to help me study the mysteries of divine power until there's a result. ”

"No, no, no, you seem to have misunderstood something. I'm not saying that I'm going to allow you to study yourself, but I'm going to give you another goal to study your powers. Zuo Si corrected meaningfully. …

Let a madman study himself?

Are you kidding!

He has in his body the source of the power of the two brigade mages - "sparks".

Once this thing is discovered, it will inevitably attract countless troubles and snoopers.

"Another target?"

Irenikas subconsciously frowned.

Obviously, this is not what he had in mind.

Zuo Si was keenly aware of this, and explained in a calm tone: "Somewhere in the sewers of Askatra, there is a hidden passage to the ancient underground ruins. As far as I know, there is a temple of the ancient sun god Amanata. And inside the temple, there is a remnant of a saint whose strength is extremely weak. I believe that with your understanding of the gods, you should understand the meaning of the sage, right? ”

"Every Sage is made of fragments of divine power!"

Irenikas barely thought for a second before he said the correct answer.

After all, the turbulent year had only recently passed, and at that time, the gods were all walking in the human world as saints, and many ambitious people who wanted to kill gods had collected information in this regard, and he was naturally no exception.

"That's right! All Sages have at least a small fragment of divine power in their bodies, which are generally far easier to deal with than battle avatars. The most important thing is that Amanata has fallen, so no one cares if you imprison his Sage for research, or just put it on the dissecting table. ”

When he said this, Zuo Si's tone revealed a naked and undisguised temptation.

Of course, he wouldn't tell the other party that there was still a large group of Eye Demons to deal with on the road to the Sun Temple.

Moreover, among this group of Eye Demons are the Eye of the Elders, which is comparable to that of high-level spellcasters, and the leader of the clan that overrides the Eye of the Elders, the Blind Eye.

The latter is a powerful being who blinds himself in the eye and gives up his anti-magical stance, and then becomes an eye mage by learning the power of arcane magic.

Combined with the Eye Demon's innate talent for terrifying magic, it can be said that eighty percent of Blind Eye's spellcasting ability has reached the level of "Legendary", and it is definitely one of the most difficult enemies to deal with.

When the Mage Tower was just built, Zuo Si had already sent the Shadow Legion to reconnoiter the huge and complex sewers of the Gold Coin Capital.

Knowing the location of the Eye Demon Lair, and their ambitious plans to turn all humans into their admirers.

In fact, such a deal of complete distrust of each other, or even the perception of the other party as a potential enemy, is a great test of intelligence gathering and judgment.

Obviously, the newcomer Erenikas didn't have any advantages to speak of.

After pondering for about two or three minutes with his head down, he asked in a tone that was not very sure, "How are you going to make this deal?" ”

"Naturally, it's a face-to-face deal. You give me the corresponding books and notes, and I give you the specific location. With prophecy magic, it should be easy to locate the temple. Zuo Si gave a solution unhurriedly.

"Sounds pretty good. However, it may take a little time to write a book including the Magic Lock, and I think it would be a good idea to trade it after two weeks. ”…

You don't have to ask, Irenikas is obviously deliberately delaying time, trying to find the location of the temple on her own.

After all, he had gathered enough information through the conversation just now.

It is entirely possible to use the prophecy magic of the Eight Rings [Sense Location] to explore the Temple of Amanata hidden in the sewers.

But Zuo Si didn't panic at all, nodded with a smile and agreed: "No problem." When you transcribe all that knowledge and spells, you can contact me at any time through Reyn. ”

"I will."

There was a sly glint in Irenikas' eyes.

In this way, the first meeting and mutual temptation of the two finally ended.

When she returned to the sewer entrance, Lei Yin immediately couldn't help but ask, "Master, why did you reveal so much information just now?" With his casting level and ability, he will definitely try to find it himself with prophecy magic. ”

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Just look for Erenikas."

If I can find it, I'll lose.

The Sage is a special life form made of divine power, and no amount of prophetic magic can do anything to it.

As for that temple, not only was it enshrined in a powerful artifact that had been sealed, but its very existence had long been cursed with intense resentment.

Even if you use the most powerful Nine Rings [Wishing Technique], it is impossible to get any useful information.

Not to mention......

Irenikas wasn't the only one interested in the temple. ”

"I see! Looks like I'm overthinking. If you don't have any other instructions, I'll go back first. ”

With that, Reyn touched her chest with one hand and bowed, before putting on her hood and walking out of the sewer entrance, disappearing into the crowd of people in the Jinjin Mall area.

Just as Zuo Si was about to return to the Mage Tower, he suddenly saw a familiar figure waving to him.

"Zelanora?"

Zuo Si recognized the other party's identity at a glance, and at the same time, he was puzzled by the appearance of the moon elf who had just climbed to the top position of the masked mage in the market.

Because the Masked Mage's Guild has almost monopolized the entire Am's arcane magic resources.

Normally, the "contraband" sold in the Adventurer's Marketplace is certainly far inferior to the supply channels within the guild in terms of quantity and quality.

However, considering the previous happy cooperative relationship between the two, Zuo Si still stepped forward to follow.

After a while, I left the bustling shopping mall and walked into a relatively secluded alley.

After confirming that there were no people and creatures around, Sean VII stopped, stared at Zuo Si with a slightly strange look, and said meaningfully: "Should I first congratulate you on successfully controlling Am's second largest spellcaster organization, the Emerald Society?" ”

"Huh?!"

One second there was some casual left thought, and the next second his eyes suddenly became sharp and dangerous.

But before he could open his mouth to ask, Sean VII raised his hand and stopped with a smile: "Okay, don't be nervous, I'm just joking."

Actually, I don't have any opinion on your control of the Emerald Society.

Quite the opposite!

I can even help you take cover and absorb the entire Emerald Society little by little, turning it into a semi-independent force ostensibly a masked mage guild. …

Of course, it depends on your personal wishes. ”

"How do you know that? Also, why help me? Zuo Si asked with a puzzled expression.

"One of my men happened to be present when you slaughtered those Emerald Society leaders, and witnessed firsthand how you turned their high-ranking people into your own servants, even including Reyn, the most outstanding disciple of Shangora, the Lord of Runes. As for why I want to help you, of course, it's to work together to deal with the Entangled Talisman. ”

Sean VII did not hide anything, and generously expressed his intentions.

With a deep understanding of magic beyond ordinary people, he could easily see how many powerful magic Zuo Si had blessed with as a vote of the elect.

In front of such a person, lying and deceiving are the most stupid acts, there is no one.

"Dealing with the Entangled Talisman together?" Zuo Si was stunned for a moment, and then a very surprised expression appeared. "Why? I don't remember any feud between the masked mage and the Entangled Talisman. ”

Sean VII shook his head slightly: "No, you are wrong. In fact, the battle between us and the Entangled Charm began when they began to infiltrate Am.

In fact, there is a secret stronghold of the Lord of Symbols in Askatra, and they have also managed to control several noble chambers of commerce with a certain amount of wealth and power.

If you're interested in that, I'll give you a copy of it later.

When the time comes, you'll know how powerful the Entanglement Talisman is at infiltrating secretly. ”

"How do you want to work together?" Zuo Si quietly continued to probe.

Obviously, he didn't even say a word about the reason Zeranora gave just now?

??。

But considering that he can recruit a foreign aid to deal with the entanglement charm with him, the truth is actually not that important.

Anyway, there will be time in the future, and you can investigate the true identity and intentions of the other party little by little.

Seeing that Zuo Si agreed to his request for an alliance, Xia En VII suddenly smiled with satisfaction, and said to himself: "The first is information sharing.

I need as much detail as possible about the list of Talisman Masters, abilities, personalities, hobbies, lair locations, etc.

Secondly, I would like to know which important families they control in the Carlinfir area.

In return, I will choose to gather forces at the right time to launch a surprise attack on some of the Masters of Symbols. ”

When Zuo Si heard this, he immediately pretended to be disdainful and sneered: "Gather strength? I'm sorry, but I don't think the Masked Mage's Guild is qualified to go toe-to-toe with the Entanglement Talisman. ”

"The power of the Masked Mage Guild alone is certainly not enough. But don't worry, I've got plenty of back-ups. What's more, wouldn't it be good to let all the fools at the top of the Masked Mage Guild go to their deaths, and then we will divide up this organization? Sean VII asked rhetorically with a smirk.

"Good is good. But the question is, I have to know who I'm working with, right? ”

Zuo Si used the "Eye of Knowledge" to collect suspicious signs on the moon elf in front of him.

Unfortunately, apart from some of the more advanced magic constants and a large number of magic items, there is no valuable information to be found.

Because they didn't use any transformation magic, they weren't undead or weird.

"Trust me, sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much.

And there's nothing false about my hostility towards the Entanglement Talisman, which you should know best.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Since it's cooperation, then I, the one who takes advantage, always has to pay something.

This is a "Sandstorm Book" that contains many spells suitable for use in desert environments, so you can read them if you are interested. ”

With the last word blurted out, Sean VII stuffed a black-covered book into Zuo Si's hand, and then the magic teleportation ring exclusive to the high-level mages disappeared without a trace.
