"If you don't want to go to Myr, you'll have to find a way to hide your identity. ”

"We change the color of our hair and we can wear makeup to our eyes. We don't say we know you or have anything to do with you. Elsa looked at Siegel and said with some unconfidence: "My lord...... So, that should be enough, right?"

"I don't think they tracked you down by your appearance. Siegel said, "Well, you need to stay with me for a few days, and I'll make magical items for you to cover your identity." If you haven't changed your mind after a few days, at least you'll be much safer on the road. ”

The mother and son glanced at each other and reluctantly agreed. Black hair and black eyes are the main hallmarks of Siegel, which is reflected in both of his descendants, but using these two clues to find someone in the middle of a sea of people is really looking for a needle in a haystack. Mother and son had been traveling, and the group of mages had used teleportation to find the inn directly. Even if there are spies tracking the mother and son, calculating the time of message delivery, it will not be able to intercept it so accurately. This high efficiency of the enemy can only be explained by some means of magical positioning.

All Siegel has to do is block this detection method.

People who are good at finding things are also good at hiding things, especially when Siegel still knows the magic of bloodlines, and there are even more ways to hide a living person. He took his mother and son into the city of Gemma and stayed in the hotel. He asked Elsa to pretend she had a fever so that she had a good reason to stay longer. Although I was afraid that it was some kind of contagious disease, the two people around the patient appeared to be healthy, and the room rate was always paid in time and in full. There is also a tip every now and then. The innkeeper turned a blind eye.

There's no such environment as a magic lab. Therefore, if Siegel wants to make magic items, he must do it with his own hands. He set up a simple magic circle in his inn room, relying on precise control of elemental energy to cast spells, ensuring that no significant magic fluctuations spilled over. The whole room was like a closed jar, and from the outside it was not at all noticeable that someone was casting spells in the room.

But inside it's a different story. Two magic necklaces float in the air, constantly radiating multicolored light. When this light reaches the edge of the circle, it is absorbed and becomes a bright ball of soft light. Siegel would then punch the glowing dwarven rune into it, re-punch the ball of light into the necklace, and so on.

The purpose of using the Dwarven Rune is to make the necklace work longer. and less susceptible to changes in the magical environment. On this basis, Siegel uses the techniques of elven magic and bloodline magic to transform the bloodline traits emitted by the wearer into pure elves. In this way, no one could have imagined that this child would be the son of Siegel.

At the same time, the necklace is still casting mind control effects, using the mental spell effect of the Knox Guild to subtly affect the people around it. This spell is not harmful, but it will make the people around you always believe the identity of the wearer of the necklace and not be suspicious.

It took ten days to forge the two necklaces, and Siegel used all his magic skills to achieve such high efficiency. It was a vivid lesson for two people who had never been exposed to magic. For young Dodd, it was like opening a door to a new world in front of him.

"Ma'am. I would suggest that you go to Myr and take my refuge. Siegel led the horse and sent the two men outside the city of Gemma. "Your plan to go to your relatives has been told to others, and it is likely that it has been exposed to the group of people who want to arrest you. So it's not safe where you're going, and it's not safe for you along the way. ”

"I thank you for your kindness, Lord Siegel, but staying away from you is the only truly safe way. Elsa said. Sometimes she felt a little dead-eyed, why not accept the help of this man, who was a marquis, in charge of a vast territory, and a spellcaster with great power. If you go to the Heim Realm, the risk you have to take is only the white eyes and hurt of the lord's wife, but you can give your children a higher starting point. Whether it is to learn the skills of a knight or a mage, it is impossible in the countryside. In the country, his best outcome is to become a great merchant or a squire under some knight.

But then he would live as an illegitimate child and suffer the damage that the name brought to him. Elsa has seen quite a few bastards, and it is very unfair that the nobles brought them into this world to their own liking, but at the same time created a world full of prejudice and harm to it. Comparatively speaking, it is much better for orphans to be able to receive sympathy and help than for illegitimate children.

"You're an assertive person, but I hope you'll follow my advice. With this money I give you, you don't have to worry about living in any city, and you don't have to go to your original destination. At the very least, it would be safer to wait another five years or so. ”

"Five years? Why this time?"

"It's not just you, my wife and children are being threatened by the same group of enemies, and I give myself five years to solve this problem," Siegel said. ”

"As an archmage and a marquis, do you still have enemies that you can't deal with?" Elsa didn't understand the situation, but she had a tougher personality: "There are enemies outside, and you are still hanging around here? If it were me, I would kill their lair and kill them one by one." As long as the enemy is dead, there is no threat!"

Siegel smiled, "There will be a day." Then he looked at Dodd and said to him, "Whatever problems you have in the future, you can come to me." I will shelter you and help you. But there is a premise for this, and that is to protect your mother and make her happy all the time. I didn't know you existed, but now that I know, it's different, both for you and for me. I was born without parents, and my surname is squid, which is no different from the illegitimate children born in the sea, 'Langsheng' and 'Fish'. I know that feeling isn't good, so I'll never let that feel in you. Will you come with me?"

Elsa was shocked. She knew that if the man in front of her forcibly took her son, she would have no way to stop it. Didn't even the four mages who found them be killed in the midst of lightning? And those two necklaces actually have the power to deceive people's hearts. More potent than any psychedelic hypnotic agent. According to Siegel's magical abilities. He can take the child. Then erase her memories and make her forget that she once had a son. He can also change the child's memory and make him forget his mother. For ordinary people, he is absolutely capable of doing whatever he wants, and nothing can stop him except his own sense of morality.

Dodd shook his head and said strongly, "I want to be with my mother." "In him, you can see your own shadow. This made Elsa very happy, but it did not ease her tension at all. The woman pursed her lips tightly and looked at Siegel for fear that he would take out his wand and start casting spells.

Siegel just reached out and touched the child's head, revealing a helpless smile. "Well, in that case, let's say goodbye. I sincerely hope that I will have the opportunity to meet you, or at least receive your letters. I don't ask for anything else, even if you don't want to tell me your address. Please also tell me how you are doing. ”

"Okay, we'll write a letter. Although Elsa breathed a long sigh of relief. But I still want to hit the road as soon as possible.

Siegel waved them goodbye and watched the two of them on horses and mules leave as they wished. Then he took a deep breath and suddenly reached out to the woods on the side of the road. The transparent spherical force field squeezed from the outside in, sweeping down a large number of shrubs and grasses. A black shadow slammed left and right in the force field ball, but it couldn't break through. Siegel was far more powerful than before, and it was difficult for him to guard against his sudden attack without warning.

The dark shadow slowly quieted down, gradually condensing into a human form. He looked at Siegel with his hands down, his cold eyes as always. "I didn't expect to be discovered by you, Siegel Squid. Long time no see. ”

"Chanem, did you arrange this?"

What appeared in the force field prison was none other than the Sage of the God of Murder, Chanem, who had dealt with him in the underground base. If it weren't for the Ring in his hand to remind him of the moving Sage power around him, it would be impossible for him to spot the Holy One who is proficient in hidden murder with his detection ability alone.

Chanem, as the Holy One of Murder, must have been proficient in scheming, using all kinds of arrangements and plans to achieve his own ends. So when he appeared, Siegel suspected that all this was arranged by the God of Murder, and even the appearance of Leel's apprentice was in his plan.

"None of this has anything to do with me. Chanem said: "Whether you believe me or not is your business, and what you do next is your own choice." ”

Siegel stared at him, constantly compressing the size of the force field ball. Chanem was squeezed, but didn't show a look of fear. He knew that even if he was crushed, he would be reborn, and he would stand up again and again.

"Do you know what happened to the Mother Earth Sage not long ago, poor halfling? Siegel said, "He has been born again hundreds of times, which makes me know that even a saint has limits. Chanem, I wonder what the limits of the Holy One of Murder are. ”

Chanem's face changed a little at this time. He also sensed the decline in the power of the Mother Earth Sage, but he never knew what was going on. If Siegel can tell the story, there is a more than ninety percent chance that he did it. The god of murder is not as godhead as Mother Earth, and it doesn't take hundreds of rebirths for him to actually die.

"The whole thing has nothing to do with me, I wouldn't have come out and see if I hadn't found out that someone was using teleportation and then there was a spell fight. Chanem said, "I thought you were here to trouble me, but I didn't expect you to deal with the trouble caused by your lover and illegitimate child." You don't want that guy Riele to know they exist, and that's understandable. When it comes to dealing with the prophetic masters, you and I have a common language. ”

"Can I think you're begging for mercy?"

"No, you can't. Chanem shook his head: "It's understandable that you don't believe me, after all, it's my ability to use lies to mislead, and no one will object to me calling myself a master in this regard." But I would never beg for mercy from a mortal, even if it was an archmage who had mastered the level of a legendary spell. I didn't expect you to ......."

Something suddenly occurred to him, and he squinted his eyes and looked at Siegel several times from head to toe. Then he started laughing, from a low, shallow smile to a loud laugh. Siegel tightened the force field prison again, and Chanem stopped laughing and waved his hand at Siegel: "I understand, I get it all." You're looking for the godhead hidden by the god of magic and knowledge, but you don't know how to find me. I have to say, your search ability is so strong that even I can find it, so there is a slight chance that you can find something that all gods dream of. ”

Siegel looked at the God of Murder and was shocked by his ability to reason. None of these Sages are easy to deal with, they have seen too much, they have done too much. Infinite life brings infinite experience, and ideas that they think are incredible are just yesterday's repetition to them.

"It's useless for you to kill me, after I die, I will reunite with the god body, and then the god of murder will be able to get this information. He will cast another Sage, or exchange information directly with Riele for profit. ”

"I can imprison you and seal you into the depths of the earth. ”

Chanem nodded, "You can do that. The Confinement Technique has this ability, but for me, the Confinement Technique is not a permanent effect, and I will slowly get out of trouble. Divine power will not be sealed so easily, just as divine power will not be so easy to find. He rubbed his hands, looked at Siegel, and said solemnly, "How about I cooperate with you to find the power of the magic god?"

"Purpose?"

"I'm just a saint, and if I keep my current condition, I'll never become a true god, but a vassal of the god of murder. But as long as I can get a little bit of power, I will be enough to ignite the divine fire and be qualified to pursue the power of the true god. Don't you wonder why I gave myself a name? The God of Murder's body has been badly damaged and has been torn apart. His divine power spread to the worlds he had shrouded, turning into a child killing each other. Through this killing, he was able to regain his strength and restore his true form. The world of the Thunder Wall is shrouded in a storm of destruction, which has a serious hindrance to the flow of divine power, so I, the Sage, can stand on my own. This is my best chance to murder the God of Murder and become the new True God. ”

Siegel shook his head, "It's hard for me to believe your words, after all, you are using deception and layout as the main force, and you are most likely misleading me." ”

"Yes, it's quite possible. Chanem spread his hands: "I'm good at all kinds of layouts, but it doesn't have much to do with chaos. In order to achieve the goal, I am very respectful of the contract, like the devil. I have told you the most secret circumstances of the God of Murder, and have even exposed my own weaknesses - if you kill me here until I cannot be resurrected, I will really die, because there is no God of Murder to resurrect me. It's a gamble for me, and even more so for you, but the final choice is yours. To kill or not to kill, it's as simple as that. ”

"Why do I need you?" said Siegel after a moment's thought.

"The layout of the gods will not be so simple, even if you can find the power of the magic god, you can be sure that you can solve the trap he has set? The magical priesthood is tempting, but the prophetic priesthood is my goal. When prophecy and murder are combined, I can do anything. ”

"It's just a more precise killing, just like you used to. Siegel shook his head. "How do I know you're not going to stab me at the last moment and steal the fruits of victory?"

"I only need the least amount of divine fire, and I won't take more. If I take more, I will become a god of magic and bind myself to this world. There's something more tasty out there, the power of the god of murder waiting for me, and that's what suits me best. Maybe I'll come back to fighting for the magic god power after becoming the God of Murder, but that's another battle. ”

Siegel looked at Chanem and looked at the confident smile on his face. He then clenched his fists and compressed the force field cage to its limit, the size of only one point. (To be continued.) )
