Curt had hoped to find a lone sorcerer and get information from him about Sain Democra's ongoing plans.

But after carefully observing the sorcerers' actions, Curt quickly gave up on such an idea—it was too risky. Because he knew very well that if he dared to act like this, the attacked mage would inevitably attract the attention of other enemies.

Without exception, all of these mages are affected by the "bloodline of chaos", and each of them has a bloodline from the same root lurking in their bodies. This unites them as a whole, and if one of them appears to be out of order, it will be immediately discovered by their accusers.

Not long after the monster had attacked the magician, they noticed something unusual about their companion and immediately began to organize a search.

Curt didn't know how they had made contact, but he could feel the magic of the sorcerers connected to the blood in their bodies. Their power comes from the chaos that comes from the chaos that comes into their blood, and that makes them a part of a whole.

This is somewhat similar to the "soul connection" that Lizzie uses to connect her to Curt, but it is decisively different in the way it is implanted. Unlike Curt and Richie, who only use magic to connect with each other so that some knowledge and memories can be easily shared, Sain Democlera may have constructed a huge tree diagram that allowed him to become the top manipulator.

Is it a spider's web, or a pyramid? While the metaphor may be a bit inappropriate, Curt couldn't find a better way to describe it—he didn't know exactly how it was described in sorcery theory. You can only describe it with your own feelings.

He peered at the sorcerers gathered at the edge of the ruins, the magic oozing from their bodies evident to the fact that they were all connected by a special connection. It stands to reason. These sorcerers should have noticed the change in their bodies a long time ago, but they didn't care.

It's an incredible situation. Sain Democlera connected the power of a large number of mages through the "bloodlines of chaos", allowing them to converge in a reservoir of magical power. All kinds of magic flowed through the network he had constructed, allowing those who wield it to wield power beyond the past.

The mage who wields this magic doesn't seem to care where his power comes from, he just needs to be able to use it at will. They should have known that the "Bloodline of Chaos" had been brutally squeezed from the Slots by Sain Democlus, but they were willing to serve the mage and enjoy the powerful blood stains he provided.

Justice or goodness has nothing to do with them, because from the beginning there is nothing in their minds—they only see their own interests. As long as they are profitable, it doesn't matter what they do, so they are quite happy to work for Sain Democra.

Watch as the figures of the mages are hidden in a mist that glows with a shimmering light. Curt tiptoed out of the small room in a corner of the ruins. Several nearby neighborhoods have been captured by enemy mages, and in addition to the squads patrolling the streets, there are a few key areas guarded by the enemy.

Curt hid in a corner of the ruins of the street, peering at the barricades near the main road that had been captured by the enemy, whose houses had been burned down by the enemy shortly after the battle began. There was no value in guarding the neighborhood any longer, and the guards who made this judgment quickly retreated.

However, this barricade, which should have been abandoned a long time ago, became a stronghold for the enemy, and a large number of combat forces were left behind to protect it. What's even more strange is that the zài guarding the barricades is not a warlock, but a creature that is the same monster that was killed by Curt before.

They seem to have been tasked with staying here by the sorcerer in charge of the control, and these "guards" who looked like skinned gorillas gathered in groups around the stacked obstacles near the barricades. Although their minds are not as clear as those of humans. But the perception is superior, and even Curt spying on it from afar seems to have alerted them.

I saw a slightly larger monster glance in the direction where he was, and immediately called out to the other monsters around him. Let them rush in Curt's direction to investigate. At the same time, it seemed to have somehow to inform the mages in the distance, and Curt soon heard a series of hurried footsteps behind him. Those who were still investigating the scene of the murdered colleagues had rushed to the area where something was wrong.

It was beyond Curt's expectation that the enemy would find out in this way. The other party seems to have some kind of special way of being able to distinguish between themselves and places. Whatever it was, he had now been spotted by enemy hounds. If you don't leave immediately, you'll probably have to fight one of them.

A little estimate, the remaining time may be less than a quarter of an hour.

Curt was not worried about the enemy's strength, and was ready for battle - but it was clearly not the right time to fight the enemy. It looks like the area has been turned into a stronghold by the enemy, and if you do it now, the information that you could have obtained will be lost.

The monsters were already close to where he was hiding, and the mages were slowly approaching, and there was not much time left for him to think. At this thought, Curt's eyes immediately turned to the shaft with the lid gone, which was the road leading to the city's sewers.

Before the enemy could reach his location, Curt jumped into the city's sewers. This is clearly a warning to the enemy that someone has fled into the sewers, but Curt is also confident that he can avoid the enemy's pursuit in the intricate pipe system.

"But it's surprising that there are even places like this. ”

However, the reality exceeded his expectations once again, and the enemy was not only on the ground, but also in the nearby sewers. Apparently, the neighborhood near this road was converted into a stronghold a long time ago, and it was used quite thoroughly.

It seems that Sain Democra's plan has been prepared for a long time, and both he and others who have been exploited are working hard for it to succeed. He Curt had thought that the other party was nothing more than a reckless man, but it wasn't until he saw the sewers that the enemy had used them that he realized that the mage was not only crazy, but also worked hard for his crazy ideas.

Curt couldn't help but wonder what the mages stationed in the city were usually doing to be infiltrated so deep by the enemy. Everywhere Curt went, there were signs of careful cleaning, and it was clear that many people had used these roads recently.

It wasn't long before Curt arrived at what looked like some sort of lounge-like hall, where a dozen or so magicians were resting. A subtle aura lingered through the hall, covering the blood-robed sorcerers in a mist.

The lounge was built underground, already airtight, and the door to the interior was locked. The fog in the hall was cut off inside, and the erratic atmosphere and the outside world were like two worlds that could not interfere with each other.

If you look closely, the appearance of these mages is also very strange, almost all of them are immersed in a slightly drunken state, and they can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion. Curt couldn't say what was going on, but he had a vague sense that something wasn't quite right in the minds of these sorcerers.

He remembered that Lizzie had said that a long time ago, some of the schools that were now dismissed as heretics by the current sorcerers had used some kind of potion to improve their spellcasting. They named this act "incense sucking", and lit suspicious spices in a closed room, so that the spirit of the sorcerer could break free from the confines of the flesh and feel the power of the higher world and try to gain great power in doing so.

To put it bluntly, it is the abuse of some drugs that affect the spirit, hoping to improve the mental state of the individual. As for whether it had any effect, there was no conclusive evidence to investigate, but the bodies of the mages were all damaged in an irreversible way.

From the only written descriptions, the sorcerers who performed the act of "sucking incense" were physically weakened and unable to perform difficult tasks for long periods of time. At the same time, they even hallucinate, and some sorcerers even lose their ability to live a normal life due to their insanity.

Although Curt hadn't seen what was described in the literature with his own eyes, he had a strange feeling that the situation of these mages in front of him was somewhat similar to theirs. They can probably only be called "wasters" now, but the magic and life force in their bodies are still continuously supplied to this network.

From the perspective of the use of magic power, even Liqi, who is arrogant, has to admit that her level is not as good as that of this crazy mage. Although the amount of magic power in her body was much higher than that of the other party, he used a large amount of magic power from others to turn himself into an inhuman being.

At least Lizzie wouldn't have dared to let so much messy magic enter her body, because it would be too dangerous, but Sain Democla used these sorcerers to spread his bloodline throughout the city of Catrice, using it as a basis to monitor the city's internal movements.

It can almost be said that Cheng Dù, who has a trigger and moves his whole body, as long as there is a slight abnormality in the abnormal magic power that is now scattered in the city, it will be immediately discovered by that mage. The self-proclaimed "True Eye" probably thought that this spell was designed for them.

But they were just pawns of Sain Democlus. (To be continued......)
