After two days, many mages were still focused on the amazing battle at the Sazaha military training base, and while they were still reminiscing, Luxendier's hospital bed moved into Darren Moore College in a low-key manner and began his career as a dean.

A Ring Mentor from Frass became his advisor, and he knew very well that this was a mouthpiece for Fras, so he obediently placed this person beside him, and after a brief adaptation, he began the process of serving Frass on the surface.

As a big winner, after the victory of the struggle, it is natural to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, for some purpose, the identity of the inventor of the giant god soldier was strictly kept secret by the high-level of Flass, because nominally, 'it' is the work of Luxendier, although the red-robed mages are aware of the tricks, but on the surface they still have to say so.

Penny was indispensable, he didn't expect this technique to cause such a big sensation, he had just received the news that Master Millon, who served in Odyssilon's military department, had just put the mass production of the Titan on the agenda of the Parliament.

The shock caused by this thing was beyond anyone's expectations.

Penny himself felt that the fewer people who knew the truth, the better, so he made the offer of strict secrecy to Andrea and Oseia as well.

He has already been in the limelight enough, and this kind of major event that affects the war decisions of the Mage Guild will not do him any good at all.

Even so, his performance in the fight earned him the first prize, and Andrea gave him a huge jeweled staff, which was worth a lot of money just by looking at the huge laventstone on the staff.

He was now in an exchange northwest of Sanophon, with slaves to be sent south.

The slave trade was one of the important pillars of the Searle economic system, and such exchanges were ubiquitous in Searle, and the mage looked at the group of slaves selected by the mentor, and felt a little uncomfortable, but it was just uncomfortable.

Cheap labor, the exploitation of personal freedom, this is the case throughout Serre.

Although he still maintains sympathy, Penny does not see anything unreasonable in this situation, the status of equality comes from the strength of equality, and if there is a power in this world that can make one person easily destroy ten thousand people, equality is doomed to be impossible.

Before trying to talk to powerful beings on an equal footing, try to put yourself in a position where you will not be easily exploited.

Penny lowered his head, avoiding the somewhat scorching sun.

"You rejected Lord Andrea's proposal, why?" Zhan Huashi beside him suddenly frowned, and asked in a serious tone, "Oshaya told me that Andrea was very angry. ”

At Frass's celebration party, Andrea had proposed that Penny be sent to his department, but Penny's neat refusal made him feel a little embarrassed, and added a bit of unhappiness to the end of the party.

"I'm not done yet. Penny said with a serious expression.

"It doesn't matter, my disciple. Zhan Huashi opened his mouth and actually sighed: "The south is getting more and more chaotic, if you want to save yourself, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible, you know, the reputation of the Ream family has plummeted this time, and it is difficult to suppress the voice of the main battle faction, cough, and your invention, Andrea and Justilee are distressed...... Because of it, a line has been drawn between the family and the lord and the faction. ”

"Mentor, are you afraid?" Penny frowned, "It seems inevitable that our family will lose our foreign trade base. ”

"Yes, in fact, leaning towards the main battle faction is also a family decision. Zhan Huashi was silent for a moment, then nodded again, and looked at his disciple: "However, I don't think it's a good idea to mix in this muddy water. ”

"Even if I get out, you'll stay in this muddy water. The mage whispered.

A slave walked past Penny's eyes, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and a little cold feeling like the barren camp in the background.

"It's none of your business. Jenvath looked at Penny with a frown, as if he felt that what he had heard was incomprehensible.

"Of course it does. Penny looked squarely at the middle-aged man, "You are my teacher. ”

The atmosphere was silent for a long time, and the slave passing by heard the middle-aged man's sigh: "If you die one day, it must be because of this stubbornness and stupidity. ”

"Perhaps, but what's the difference between a person and mud if he's not stubborn?" said Penny with his head raised, in a light tone.

"Well said. Zhan Huashi nodded silently, and at this time, those slaves had also been selected, and he waved his hand: "In three days, I will arrange a team to transport these slaves to the south." ”

The mage nodded.

"Also, since you have decided to wade into this troubled water, you might as well take note of one more thing for us. ”

"What's the matter?" the mage pricked up his ears.

"You've probably heard of the Imasca Empire. Zhan Huashi did not directly answer the disciple's rhetorical question, but first pulled out a sentence of incoherent history.

Penny was stunned for a moment, how could he not know about this country.

"Looks like I asked a nonsense. Zhan Huashi shook his head: "Then you should also know why Imasca was destroyed." ”

"Invasion of otherworldly gods, it is said that the gods of Moulin incarnated as saints and led an army of divine powers to destroy Imasca. ”

"No, no, no, that's not the whole answer. Zhan Huashi shook his head: "Penny, do you think that a few people who have crossed over from the distant otherworld, who can only control some shallow divine power as a sage, and have only tens of thousands of slaves under their command, can defeat an empire as powerful as Imasca?"

Penny frowned, remembering the scene he had seen in Pascal's recollection, when Mulholland's forces had indeed dealt a devastating blow to Loan, but hearing Jenwath's words, it seemed that things were not so simple.

Because Pascal's memories of the destruction of Lo are too vague.

What's more, a careful study of this period of history does reveal many irrationalities.

First of all, why were the gods of Moulin allowed by Io to descend into this world?

In addition, there were many spellcasters who could compete with the gods in that era, such as the later Nethriel, those supreme grand arcanists were all beings who could talk to the gods on an equal footing, and the earlier Imaska, such casters must have been.

And once the gods descend as saints, their power will be reduced to the point that mortals can kill them, and even if the gods come in person, they may not be able to deal with this level of spellcasters, so the reason why the Imaska Empire was destroyed by the gods of Mulan is very doubtful.

"My disciple, the history of this country is full of mysteries. "Not only are the specific circumstances of destruction and birth not in history, except for a few broken ruins and documents mentioning that they were the inventors of the golems and masters of magical mechanical research, leaving behind seven arcane artifacts, the rest are vague and passing accounts. ”

Penny carefully recounted his memories and found that this was indeed the case, the gift that Pascal gave him did not have anything about history, that is, those materials about ancient magic, all of which were modified according to the rules of the modern magic net, and the things that could be excavated were too few and too few.

However, he still didn't quite understand why James Washi had taken the topic so far.

"In fact, what is known is only a tiny fraction of what is known compared to the entirety of this ancient empire. "The Mage learned of something when he was fighting the Tucan barbarians in the Endless Wilderness. ”

As he spoke, he led Penny to a hidden corner, his expression becoming more and more serious: "Some of those barbarians are the remnants of the Imaska who migrated north after the defeat of the war, and they themselves do not know this, and the mages will negotiate with them and find a message from the ancient texts that they themselves cannot read. ”

Penny listened intently, knowing that this was probably a secret within the Mage Guild, and that it might only be known to some special departments such as the Inquisition, except for some high-ranking mages.

"In the mountains of Yuchu live the remnants of the royal family of the ancient empire. "It is said that at the southern end of the mountain range, there is an important ruin of an imasca, which is said to have been set up by ancient magicians. ”

"Oh?" Penny nodded incredulously, and if so, it was indeed noteworthy.

For the southern end of the mountain range is his territory.

His mind spun around and he began to think about the various situations that this news might cause.

"The royal remnants of an ancient empire?" he captures the point.

"Yes, a bunch of guys with a special bloodline. Zhan Huashi nodded: "All the tribes of the Endless Mountain Range have this bloodline, but every once in a while, an atavistic pure breed can be born, and it will only appear at the southern end of the Yue Mountain Range. Only such a pure-blooded person has the ability to open the ruins. It is said that these purebreds are born with strange magical runes behind them. ”

"Oh?" Penny suddenly became suspicious, as he suddenly remembered why the mages had gone out of their way to strengthen their rule if the indigenous races of that place had such a huge secret, and had gotten to the point where they were now.

If you want to enslave that territory, you only need a few spells of a ** master.

"The mage will always do it. Zhan Huashi was helpless about this question: "But it seems that since ancient times, that place has been a stubborn area of weak magic, and there is no restriction when using low-end spells, but once the arcane ingredients used exceed the fifth ring, the magic power will be deeply suppressed, and even legendary spells cannot be corrected." ”

"Huh?" Penny was taken aback, a weak magic zone that could not be corrected by legendary spells was indeed a strange situation, because the formation of this kind of dead magic zone could never have been caused by the turbulent years or the spell turmoil of the year when the magic net collapsed.

Comparing the background, it is possible that some ancient magic is the effect.

If it is really a magical miracle left over from the Imasca Empire, the technical content is much more spectacular than the locks left by those ancient high elves...... "In fact, ten years ago, each family had separately explored the ruins, and in the end, no one was able to succeed, and the two families that went deep into the ruins, including the chief master of the Plastic Energy Department at that time, were deeply trapped in it, and there was no ...... of news" Zhan Huashi's tone was a little deep and mysterious:" Therefore, this is not a trivial matter that can be taken lightly, although there are difficulties of one kind or another, some adults within the Mage Guild are still trying to grasp those tribes that may carry ancient bloodlines, and find new 'keys' as soon as possible, and based on the information that is available, it seems that this time is almost up. But...... You know, there's going to be turmoil in that mountain range right now, so ......"

"You need me to investigate this?" Penny frowned, his instinct telling him that it was another puddle of muddy water.

The ruins of the ancient empire, although the principles of the ancient spells contained in them are somewhat different from the current status quo of the arcane, but they can penetrate deep into the source sea, and they are still preserved until now after several bumps, and the power contained in them is undoubted.

The knowledge gained by studying this spell can greatly enrich the mage's methodology.

For advanced mages who struggle with arcane research, the allure can be imagined.

I don't know how many forces are eyeing that region.

Zhan Huashi said lightly: "The most critical part of the smuggling route we are investigating is in that weak magic domain, so we must investigate the matter clearly, but you don't need to be deeply involved in this matter, just pay attention to tell us the news you get, protecting yourself is the most important thing." ”

Penny nodded with a serious expression.

"Well, I'm done. James snapped his fingers, and a masked man in a black leotard appeared silently beside him.

This guy is short and thin, the black cloth wraps the whole body, even the face is covered, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a man or a woman, like a skeleton that has just stepped out of the shadows, and his body is full of strange aura.

Penny's eyelids jumped, he looked at the strange fellow, and then turned his puzzled gaze to his mentor.
