Uh, that's going to be changed later...... Wait a minute, five minutes.

"What is it?"
Edward lowered his gaze slightly, and whispered the elven's words.
The first rays of the morning sun, already peeking out from the horizon, illuminated the wide stone table in front of him, and the subtle reflection made him frown.
The speed of the scythe and hammer mercenary group is not slow, after all, the words of a mage who can easily defeat hundreds of knights and a giant dragon are undoubtedly as effective for these mercenaries as the divine decree. Even if it's bumpy and falling apart, they will do their best to complete it.
Of course, relying on horses and vehicles, even at incredible speeds. It took more than a day to get back to Burgundy from the vicinity of Swanstein Castle.
The bumps of a day and a night, even a psychic warlock, felt somewhat tired, however, the previous encounter made him mentally excited, unable to sleep.
“...... Seven golden lampstands. Under each lampstand, there was a son of God, dressed in black, hanging down to his feet, with a dragon's skin tied around his chest...... And the seventh Son, named Shiloh...... His hair and pupils were silver, like snow, like metal. Burning with the sheen of flames. And the flame cannot come near him, but only for his servants, and his words, that is, for illustrations, do not obey, he holds the book. Holding a three-edged sword...... His face shines like the sun. I am the first, I am the last, and I am the one who lives. I am your king, the only king that belongs to you, I have died, I will die again, but I am also destined to be alive again...... Live forever and ever. ”
This passage is somewhat familiar.
Or rather, it's a pattern that's somewhat familiar—at least Edward had heard it a few times. If memory serves, it is sung along with the words "Holy Holy Lord God" and the like...... It is full of meaningless emptiness, like the standard model of myths and legends......
Or is it the king's power, the reason for the elf? The high elf, who seems to have sat on the throne and declared to himself......
For a moment, it seemed that this was the only thing Edward could think of—the owners of royal power. It seems that most of them are obscure, or they are alone, but it seems that the older they are, the more prominent they are, and the more people who have done great things.
If that elf. It's really what they call this Shilo. So it's a good thing for me...... Maybe you can use this relationship to reconnect with these druids.
Of course, this is a bit too idealistic. After all, judging from the last few words of that old guy, this Shiloh seems to have made those druids quite taboo because of some great achievements, and then inferred from the power of the evil sect of the royal power and the attention of the gods, maybe those guys. It's only going to be more hateful for that guy.
To make an accurate judgment, it is best to be able to know the real situation......
Unfortunately, the quickest method didn't work - after some attempts, Edward found that he was still unable to evoke any connection to the throne, let alone find a fragment of his soul's memories.
As the fragments increased, the role of this artifact became more and more grand, and the magic missile that Edward fired just when he was fighting the dragon druid. Cheng dù, which has increased to nearly twenty or thirty times its original effect, is becoming more and more hollow, as if it was originally alive, but now, it is gradually dying.
If you really are a real mage. So how much will the spell cast be amplified by this artifact in the end?
Actually, Edward had thought this way more than once, alas. His understanding of magic still seems to be a mess...... All right. It's a little less messy, after all, now, he can barely use magic below the three rings, and he can almost be called a real mage.
Unfortunately, the price associated with this is that the more obedient this artifact is, the closer it seems to be to a dead thing, and it will no longer be as active as before, constantly trying to devour the soul of its master.
Well, since it is impossible to think of a way from this aspect, then it can only be a matter of second best.
Dehua shook his head slightly. The sound of footsteps at the door made him pause for a moment.
Druid Famini walked in sleepy-eyed. "Lord of the City, what are you doing?" he saluted sloppily. Then he took a sip of the rose tea that had been prepared for him on the table, and then smacked his lips, as if because the tea was too sweet.
Of course, the Psychic Warlock was not in the mood to beat around the bush with him at the moment, but cut straight to the heart of the problem.
"So, Lord Famini, can you tell me how your Druid sect is formed?"
The existence of the druids has always been shrouded in an atmosphere of extreme mystery on this continent. These creatures, who wander the wasteland and jungle, rarely interact with ordinary people, and few people know about them except for rumors that they are able to use special abilities, awaken trees, and drive animals.
But either way, they should also be an organized spell syndicate.
Edward can do something to provoke a certain duke, but if the opponent is a group of spellcasters, this problem is a bit troublesome - the former has a fixed range of activities, territory, and the family of the lord, which can be used as a weakness, and his own force is not a concern, and he can consider decapitation or threats to achieve his goal. The initiative is completely in your own hands.
The latter's zìyóu degree is greatly improved, it is not easy to get a single blow effective, and even in some ways, Edward has become a passive party, of course, if these guys are smart enough, then they should know that the Psychic Warlock is not a suitable opponent. But the problem is, it doesn't look like these nature-friendly guys are that smart.
"Sect? Oh, what about this...... Generally speaking, the Children of Nature, oh, the Druids as you call them, are unorganized...... Or, rather, a loose organization, which we call the Deadwood Council, usually deals with the internal affairs of a qiē druid. ”
The sweet tea was obviously effective in driving away the sleeping insects, so this question made Famini frown, and after a while, he carefully considered the words: "Hmm." There are a certain number of Great Elders, more than ten, who come to the proceedings, but they don't gather together, and they don't have a special affiliation with each other, as a rule. The upper echelons are for the usual druids. Without the ability to restrain them, they generally choose to settle in their own jungle. Under each of the Great Elders, a regional council is formed, which leads all the children of nature downward. ”
"So. How many of these children of nature? I mean, these so-called elders?"
"I'm sorry, my lord, but the rest of the matter is a secret for our druids. I can't tell you anything I want, and unless you become our friend, as the elders agree, that's all I can tell you. ”
Edward nodded, although there was not much information, but the description of the other party's loose organization made him feel a little relieved - at least he didn't have to worry about things like the other party pouring out: "So, you also know something about the Druid Council settled in the Duke of Black Hawk?" After a pause, he asked:
"The connection between us. Not closely, if I have to say, I just barely know the overview there. ”
Famini shook his head and took another sip of his cup of tea, clearly not used to the sweet drink. But he didn't seem to want to give up trying: "It is said that the duke has some unique advantages, and you know, a part of the Sunless Forest happens to be across his territory. So, the druids who live there. I'm afraid there will be a loose covenant with humans, of course, for you to help them train animal companions, but I guess that's all there is to it, and the children of nature don't like to be with you humans...... Well, forgive me, the druids didn't like to deal with ordinary people, because people's development is usually contrary to nature. The existence of nature is adapted and melted into it with its own power, but except for the elves, whether it is humans or barbarians, it seems that they are more inclined to transform nature to adapt to themselves. ”
"So, can you still contact them?"
"I'm afraid not, Lord Castle, I ......" After hesitating for a moment, Druidew smiled a little unnaturally: "I, well, let's put it this way, I was ...... because I was closer to ordinary people This one, ordered to leave his forest, although he has not lost his identity, but I have been disconnected from the rest of my companions. ”
That is, he was driven out......
"Well, what do you think of that? Edward hesitated, then recited the Elven passage softly.
"I'm sorry, I don't have an impression," the druid thought seriously, then shook his head, "Although the druid's sect originated from elves, now, there are almost no pure-blood elves left with us, I'm sorry lord." ”
"Where did you go, why didn't you leave without leaving a message?" the little girl glared at him angrily, but Edward, who was thinking about it, was a little absent-minded, so he just responded casually: "There is not enough food, so I went to get some here, and the other is to hire some mercenaries to come back, it's all trivial, and you're not doing some ritual or something, so I didn't bother you." ”
"You don't even know how much people have helped you!Also, what's the little thing, I heard that you didn't fight with a dragon?" Obviously, this attitude was not very appropriate, so Miss Half-Elf's voice immediately raised an octave, "Don't try to lie to me, that little fool has sued me! There is also a regiment of knights to chase you,"
"Well, it's not a real dragon, it's just a druid trick, not very dangerous. The corners of Edward's mouth curled: "As for the Knights...... Now that you know everything, ask me what to do?"
"Nonsense, do you know how worried people are? Who do you think you are, the legendary hero? You're just a ...... Yes," the half-elf counted angrily, but suddenly there was a little speechless, and now, it seems that there really can't be any weak title to put on this guy who was originally just a mercenary and a mage's apprentice: "In short, in the future, no matter where you go, you must take me with you!
"Hmm, where you can go, I will naturally take you, but sometimes, it's not inconvenient for you to go," a little helpless, in fact, then again, girls are coquettish and play a little petty, that is the norm, and even a natural thing. As long as you know the proportions, don't mess around on business
"I don't care! I have to keep an eye on you! Otherwise, maybe you'll find some women from there and bring them back!" "Little girl, I ask you, the little fool's thing, and I say it's the key to the treasure." I guess we've already got it, right? When are we going to get that treasure back?"
"How do you know what treasure he has?" Edward frowned, "You should know. We're not fit to go out right now, are we?"
"Still, it's a little weird, otherwise, it's up to you guys. It must have been taken down a long time ago, and those two idiots were dealt with. Don't you have a way of making a person forget a lot of things? Oh, by the way, I think you're pretty good at seduction or something, right?
"What do you mean to get rid of it...... Why do you think I'm such a guy with no character?"
"Do you still think you're a good person?" the little girl sneered half-truthfully, "If you want to talk about those bad ideas." I don't think the people in this whole city are as good as you combined. If it weren't for those two fools who had such a thing in their hands, you would be so kind as to take in the source of these two scourges? ”
"You went to trouble them?" Edward's eyebrows twitched.
"Hmph, so nervous? No, I just asked the little fool, and there was no problem, that little guy was very easy to deceive and stupid, and he was kind of a funny little thing. Noticing his expression, Miss Half-Elf gave a smug look: "But." I don't like her sister. ”
"Did she offend you?"
"Nope. The little girl's cheeks were immediately hired again, she jumped over the table, sat down in Edward's arms, and stared into his eyes: "That little girl is somewhat beautiful." If she comes to seduce you for something about her castle, you pervert agrees at once, and what if you run into an enemy you can't deal with?"
To be honest, this reason is really a bit ...... Edward was a little crying and laughing for a while: "Hey." I said, what the hell do you think of me? Didn't you just say that I was cunning, why did you become a fool who would work for others again?"
"I said it. You're cunning, but you're a big pervert, and as long as a beautiful woman hooks her fingers, it's easy for you to get confused. The half-elf replied as a matter of course: "Moreover, although that little girl is not as beautiful as me, the pair is ...... Anyway, I knew she must be good at seducing men, so I can't let that damn little girl have a chance to seduce you?"
At the end of the day, it just feels like you've lost in shape, right?
"My little ancestor, don't be a little girl, I don't know which of you two is more like a little girl. ”
The little girl's hateful look made Edward laugh dumbly, and reached out and pinched the tip of her upturned little nose, making her scream in protest - for this half-elf lady, he was somewhat spoiled emotionally, closer to his sister's feeling: "It's okay, don't always speak in this tone like someone else's elder, in the legend of my hometown, always saying this will reduce your lifespan?"
"I'm more than a decade older than her, what's wrong with calling her a little girl?" Miss Half-Elf still argued a little unconvinced: "Look at the appearance and can't determine the age, no matter what I say, I am qualified to call her like this!"
"Oh, then I'll have to call you Auntie. I didn't expect to be so old, it's unpleasant."
"Shut up, damn Edward, don't call it that, or I'll cut out your tongue!" Miss Lisa was dissatisfied, and curled up in his arms and punched him hatefully, but her little fist was nothing to Edward's demonized body.
However, after a little contemplation, Edward noticed some changes...... Around the half-elf lady in the field of vision, a layer of subtle brilliance shrouded her, and the energy of the magic net slightly surrounded her, but it was complex, and the power contained in it was unprecedentedly powerful.
"Your strength has increased again?"
"That's right, you see?" the little lady immediately became proud, "Aren't you happy that people can now perform eighth-order divine arts!"
The Psychic Warlock couldn't help but take a breath.
In the realm of arcane, touching the magic net of the eight rings represents an unprecedented change in strength, and the greatest achievement is that it can be crowned with the title of master, which means that he has left the mundane realm and truly stepped into the door that knows the truth of the world
This speed made him sigh a little,
That's why I asked you to take me, I'm very strong now
He has just touched the wall of truth all the way, and he has been treated like a high-level mage, and this little girl has already stepped into the threshold of the gate of truth, you must know that even if the gods are upgraded faster than the mages, but a sect that can use the eighth-order divine arts, at least it is also an official priest level, which is not some fifty-year-old old guys?
