Chapter 468: Demagogy
The process is certainly not as simple as Townsend suggests.
However, the most troublesome thing was done by Naomi, and when all four of them accepted the curse of the Aztec gold coins and infiltrated Byzantu in the form of undead, Naomi began to gather information.
Therefore, Townsend and others were able to accurately find the convoy heading to Searle Hill, and select the most easily deceived people among them.
Of course, Tang Sen could see that this mage apprentice was not as honest as he seemed on the surface, the evil and desires in his heart were not inferior to those of the red-robed mage, and the so-called transaction was just a deception, but he didn't care about this-
Anyway, I lied to the other party.
Moreover, no one would pay attention to a mage apprentice, let alone the poor four skeletons that the mage apprentice carried.
At the very least, the other mage apprentices have a few zombies under their control!
The road to Searle Hill is steep.
The Searle Mountains, located in the very center of the Serre Plateau, stand above the Serre Plateau and are guarded by the second staircase, which is also between the Serre Plateau and the coastal Byzantius.
These near-impassable natural barriers deter all those who try to invade Serre.
In the last century, the Serre Plateau on the first step was still a fertile land full of farms and orchards, and at that time, Serre's exports were not only magical items, but also food and supplies that could not be eaten at all, but that has changed.
During the Spell Plague, the altitude of the Serre Plateau increased by thousands of meters and caused a massive volcanic eruption, and in the following world, the Serre Plateau became a dark and ominous land, filled with barren badlands, windswept mountains and barren deserts, and the sky was forever covered with ash and smoke erupted into the sky by the volcanic peaks.
To reach the Serre Plateau, you must first climb the first staircase carved out of thousands of meters of cliffs.
Fortunately, over the course of a century, the Searles have carved a ripe path – still steep, but at least not out of the woods.
Countless slaves stumbled on the cliff path, barely enough for two people to sit side by side, and from time to time someone slipped and fell off the cliff, in exchange for angry scolding from the Serles, who cared not about the lives of the slaves, but about the supplies that fell.
Ente's situation is much better, although he is not yet a red-robed mage, but after all, he is a spellcaster, and in Serre, the status of a spellcaster is naturally higher than that of commoners and merchants, so he can walk in the middle of the team, and defend the only red-robed mage in the team with other mage apprentices.
"It's the hardest part of the road, and when we get to the Ser plateau, we can change into a carriage." Unt walked up to Townsend without a trace and whispered, "When the time comes, we'll have time to look into how we can help you become a lich." ”
"You're so enthusiastic, Mr. Ente." Tang Sen said: "People like you, even in my lifetime, there are a lot of people who are willing to take you as apprentices, and if it weren't for the death of Netheril, maybe you would be able to become a Grand Arcanist." ”
Ente had a yearning look on his face, "Really? ”
"Of course, you believe you have that talent." Tang Sen flickered seriously: "For spellcasters, luck is also an extremely important part, you and I meet, not only your luck, but also my luck, I will definitely do my best to help you." ”
"Hehe, I don't dare to think about becoming a Grand Arcanist, but becoming a Legendary Mage is indeed my ambition." Ente said with some excitement: "When the time comes, you can sit in the carriage with me, it is a waste of time for you to travel like other undead." ”
"You can't help but be so noticeable." "My strength is still very weak, and if my existence is discovered, who knows what will happen?" Maybe I'll be wiped out completely, or someone else will control Mr. Ent, and I'm not willing to share my knowledge with anyone but you. ”
"After all, it seems to me that the casters here aren't all as friendly as Mr. Ente."
Ente was stunned for a moment, and was shocked in his heart, yes, he must not attract attention, if someone else finds out that something is wrong, won't his opportunity be snatched away? He had no doubt that other mage apprentices, even his teachers, would do the same.
"It's worthy of being a legendary mage, or your Excellency is thoughtful." Ente was humbly taught: "It's a pity, I still hope to be able to ask Your Excellency more on the way." ”
"There is no need to rush the study of spells, when we get to Selshan, we will have a lot of time, and when the time comes, I will definitely teach you!" Tang Sen changed his words: "Mr. Ente, you have been by my side for too long. ”
"If you don't want to be mistaken for someone who likes to talk to the undead, go back to your teacher."
Ente felt a little regretful, and he wanted to make the legendary mage of Netherel trust him more through words, but the other party had a point.
Forget it, the coming day is long, and when you get to Selshan, you have time, and you will definitely be able to completely control the other party.
Thinking of this, he showed a modest expression and said: "I have wronged Your Excellency, most of the distance is mainly due to those damn slaves walking too slowly, according to my thoughts, these slaves are only worthy of being used as research materials, and the physical work should be done by the undead." ”
Muttering this, he hurried back to the ranks of the mage's apprentices.
"Nasty imp." Barn finally couldn't hold back his voice: "I really want to use my hammer to get close to his face." ”
"This is Serge." Tang Sen said calmly: "Trying to find good people here is tantamount to making the gnolls a holy warrior. ”
"It's not funny at all." Trish was a little sullen, mainly because she couldn't bear to see the innocent dead slaves.
If it hadn't been for Townsend convincing her, according to her previous temperament, she would have taken out a dozen scrolls and wiped out all these Serles.
"You're so good at demagoguery." Naomi leaned over, and although she was in a skeletal state, her eyes were still dark red, and she looked quite strange: "This mage apprentice has been deceived by you. ”
"It's mainly driven by the desires of his heart." Townsend glanced at her.
"It gives me a sense of familiarity." Naomi spoke, "When you recruited me in Neverwinter."
Townsend interrupted her and said, "You're thinking too much, Naomi. ”
"We're companions."
