Chapter 3: The Astral Rider's Guide
I have to admit that the presence of the treasure mimic monster Sneik is indeed weak, and it seems to blend into the background as if it is placed anywhere.
If it weren't for Chen Zhou and others, who had a strong sense of perception, I am afraid it would be difficult to realize its existence.
This ability is given by its creator Fei Capital, and the scarcity of existence will make it difficult for ordinary thieves to detect its existence, and the effect of being far away and close to the eye is also very significant.
But according to Sneike, even Fei Capital forgot about it, so that after the other party's death, it stayed alone for a long time, and even failed to attend the funeral.
「……」
Jerry has a groove and can't vomit.
"Can Lily see what's in you?"
"Sorry, no." The Mimic politely refused, "Even I don't know what's in it. ”
Its interior is connected to another mysterious space, and the contents are constantly changing, and only the items it actively collects are fixed.
Sneck suspected that Fei Capital might have connected it to a treasure trove of spellcasting materials.
But occasionally some strange creatures pop out of it, so it's not very certain.
"No problem, Mr. Snecker, welcome to join Team C of Equizxuan LLC temporarily as a scout!"
Donal thinks it's so cool!
And Chen Zhou was a little puzzled, so how should the treasure mimic monster walk?
Faced with this natural question, Sneck protrudes from under himself with eight multi-purpose pulley sets, which are also capable of forming tracks when needed.
"Don't worry, I can move at about 70 feet per wheel, and I can jump over obstacles if I need to."
It seems that our late mage had thought ahead about how to carry his chest.
"Shape-shifting treasure chests!"
Lily was shocked, what is the difference between this and a nest that can be moved at any time?
"Can Lily live in?"
"No, my underlying logic has written that no dragon or dragon blood clan is allowed to enter my body."
Its creators seem to have some kind of prejudice against dragons and their close relatives.
Lily accepted the challenge.
Come to think of it, this treasure chest was originally made to prevent thieves, what is the difference between letting a dragon in and hitting a dog with a meat bun.
nothing.
As a result, the Bronze Dragonborn Holy Warrior, the Tiger Warlock Cen and the Mimic Warlock Sneike formed a temporary team.
Don't ask strange questions like why there aren't warriors or wanderers, it's hard for people without spellcasting abilities to get to the astral plane from the main material plane.
All spellcasters, very good and balanced configuration.
"So can I inquire about the mission and Aquiz Xuan?" Chen Zhou could no longer hide his interest in the Wizarding World Adventure Company rather than the Guild.
"Let me think about where to start?"
Donal drank his wine and talked about the past.
The plane known as the Wasteland is only a name given by outsiders, and its official name is Aisan Shia.
It is a planetary plane with two moons, with many archipelagos and two continents.
Once upon a time, the gods visited the Wasteland and opened the Founding Age for a plane of potential.
Later, mortals became obsessed with the power of arcane arts, attracting exiled rebels, and the arcane law of the confrontation between good and evil began.
Eventually, in the midst of unbridled magic and the conflict between the gods, the years known as the War of Calamity plunged the world into desolation.
In order to prevent the destructive forces from further disintegrating this world, the existence of the Upper Realm, the Jedi Tiantong, set up the gate of the Divine Realm to block all the righteous gods, traitorous gods, primordial beings and other things from the plane.
"Sounds like a larger Asta."
Chen Zhou also felt that he didn't want to repeat a similar experience.
"But that's all before the gods." Donal put down his wine glass and completely swept the words he just said into the garbage heap, "Later, Aquez Xuan Co., Ltd. bought part of the rights to this plane, and vigorously supported their reconstruction and development, so that the wasteland was restored to life. ”
Now planning to repair the astral passage, Aquez Xuan hopes to use the gate of the divine realm to relocate Ethan Shia to another location in the same wasteland.
But as you know, short-lived species don't understand the concept of "contract spirit" very well.
Questions such as "Why do I have to abide by the contract signed by my ancestors eighteen generations ago", "What does the decision of the king who has long since destroyed have to do with me, the lord of the new dynasty", "How can the ancient sages decide the ownership of the plane", "Reopening the gate of the divine realm will bring the disaster of the past to Aysan Shia again"...... There are different opinions.
All in all, modern people just don't recognize the treaties signed by Aquiz Xuan Co., Ltd. with various forces in the Wasteland more than a hundred years ago.
However, they have no intention of returning the materials and funds supported by the company......
"So I need to be clear that Aquiz Xuan does not have the ownership of the plane, what they have is the right to use the Gate of the Divine Realm?"
It's not the same as what is written on the commission.
Donal knocked on the table with a headache: "Of course there is, but ......"
The problem is that you can't win.
After all, that was the time of the 3rd edition of the Plane Law, and the company's current in-house counsel, the 5th edition of the rules lawyer, told them that the only right they could claim now was the right to use the Gate of the Divine Realm.
Even if they get to the Primordial Deed of Singularity, Taiyi, and the Machine Realm, they won't be recognized for more rights.
In this regard, the Bronze Dragonborn said:
"Non-standard contracts kill people."
However, this had nothing to do with him as an ordinary company employee, and Dornal's purpose was to activate the gate once for a limited time, and "call" the entire plane and its satellites to another location.
Predictably, the locals' fears about the resumption of the Calamity War will inevitably lead them to go out of their way to thwart Aquiz, but in reality, there is no significant harm from using the Divine Gate temporarily.
Chen Zhou was not sure whether the client's view from the company was correct, so he decided to ask his advisor, Speaker Sanhua, to consult with the animal lord of Elysium through "psychics".
At least there's no harm in playing in other planes.
"Are you really sure that there will be no harm in activating the Divine Gate?"
The Mimic was thoughtful when he heard this, and finally officially accepted the commission.
The job of controlling it is just scouting, and it doesn't involve anything like opening doors.
As the two adventurers established an employment relationship with the company, Donal immediately led the two to their own magic ship, the Ryco 42.
After setting up the target plane and starting to auto-navigate, the well-fed bronze dragonborn gentleman fell asleep on the spot, and in his sleep embarked on a trip to the heterotopic plane to build a highway......
