424 Preparation
The next day, the wizard sent Fina back to the Starry Early and turned around to the West Gate.
Somehow the rumors of the end of the world have gradually spread, and the wizard can clearly perceive the atmosphere of panic that has spread in the city.
However, it was he who was more panicked, and after communicating with Fina, especially after learning how she had been brought to Serge, his mood fell to the bottom in an instant - Rekita had never contacted him, and Penny himself couldn't contact the other party with spells.
According to the information gathered by the harpist and the moon star, the Ser Enchantment has completely isolated the arcane power at home and abroad, and now the Ser has become a ghost domain, almost all the red-robed mages have been exiled overseas, and every day in the various Ser concessions, a large number of exiled red-robed mages will be taken in.
After Penny inquired in the Serre Concession of Ximen City, he couldn't get any news of Ligeta.
This result made his heart sink to the bottom, but he immediately understood that this matter was probably not something he could take care of.
He sat in the center of the Hall of the West Gate City, with the Druids of Shanren City, Quenios, and the Ranger General Van Reina Hocklin of Evansor on the opposite table.
Onara Obasta, the head of the Council of Postcu, and Teyran Mesley, the head of the Taysir Chamber of Commerce, sat on the left, and on the right were the president of the Dragon Coast Wizards' Guild, Tyran Banks, and the head of the Mercenary Guild, Haython, and the leaders of the entire major cities of the Dragon Coast were basically gathered here.
Before Penny came here, he had no idea that he would meet the heads of almost all the major cities on the Dragon Coast hereβthis is not a coincidence, because Penny had only recently learned that these men had been at Simon for some time, in order to meet him, the most powerful person on the Dragon Coast right now.
Although it has disappeared for a while, the people of the entire Dragon Coast still know who has the final say in Westgate City.
"Dear Mr. Diesel, I'm glad you're back. Druid Quinios raised a long, thin eyebrow: "We've been waiting for three whole days, and you're hard to find." β
"I'm sorry, but I also need some personal time and space. Penny coughed.
"But no ruler is allowed to use too much personal space or time now, Mr. Diesel. "Onara Obasta speaks so fluently and quickly that it is easy to miss the contents if you don't pay attention, and the council of Boscu was formerly one of the largest thieves' guilds on the Dragon's Coast, and almost all of its members are outstanding thieves - very good at deceiving people and exposing people's little tricks, and this Speaker is no exception, she is not here to talk about it, and she can see Penny's perfunctory character very clearly:" Rumors spread very badly outside, and besides, someone from the harpist actually came directly to the door this morning...... Someone is trying to wreak havoc in Torreel...... It really scared all the leaders in our city. β
"Yes. Quinios bowed: "Lord Diesel, I have prayed to His Majesty Sivanus for revelation...... The results do not seem encouraging. And I don't know what to do...... Of course, Lady Erastro suggested through the harpist that we organize an army and go north to join the coalition forces attacking the Shades, so ......"
"They mentioned the end of the world in the announcement, and it made us uneasy. Onara Obasta stared at Penny, "Diesel, the Dragon Coast has always been a reader, and it seems that it shouldn't be assigned by a harpist, but if it really comes to the end of the world, we should have a good discussion." β
"This doesn't need to be discussed, it's clear that the women are alarmist. The head of the chamber of commerce in Bosku snorted coldly.
Penny glanced left and right at the faces of the people on both sides, and had a score in his heart: "So, no one knows what's going to happen?"
"Oh, does Mr. Diesel know something?" asked Onara Obasta.
Penny nodded, "Uh...... Anyway, guys, you should have heard a little bit of my identity......"
After everyone was silent for a moment, they nodded immediately, Pandisel's identity was no longer a great secret in the upper echelons of the Dragon Coast, and now most people with a little bit of information knew that the person who spoke in Ximen City was a red-robed wizard.
"A few days ago, I went to Searle...... Something happened. β
Penny said this, with a solemn expression on everyone's faces, some news from Serge had quietly begun to spread on the Falling Star Coast during this time, and many people knew that Ser had a big chaos and a large number of red-robed mages and civilian merchants fled, and what happened to Serny, the outside world was still mostly at a loss.
The slightly more well-informed characters only know that there is an 'amazing evil' in Searle, but most outsiders know very little about what this amazing evil is.
So some of the news that Penny said quickly frightened the leaders of the cities on the Dragon Coast who were present.
"Ancient Evil...... Destroying the world? ridiculous joke...... You ......" Meslie, the head of the Bosku Chamber of Commerce, looked at Penny, his thin face covered with cold sweat was like looking at a monster: "Pendram, why haven't I heard of this thing......? What does this have to do with us? Isn't it okay to let them fight each other?"
"That's enough, Mistress Mesley. Onara Obastan slapped the table: "Please let Diesel finish." β
"Pendrim...... "Quinios muttered in a shaky voice, it was clear that this druid knew this.
"Damn, we're not here to listen to this ridiculous red-robed mage tell a joke!, but to find a way to say no to the demands of those boring women, then dispel the rumors that now pervade the Dragon's Shores, and continue our business behind closed doors. Mesley babbled, waving his fists in a highly agitated tone.
Penny frowned and snapped his fingers slightly, and Mesley suddenly seemed to be choked by an invisible force, and his body was dragged off the ground out of thin air.
"If you are short-sighted, you should cover up your ignorance with silence and listening. Penny shook his head, and a force thrust Mesley out of the council chamber with a force, "We can't force everyone to be the savior, and we can't let the ignorant and cowardly join the ranks. β
"He's just a little scared. Van Reina Hocklin looked at the door that had been smashed by Mesley and said with an ugly expression.
"After knowing this news, no one can not be afraid, to be honest, I am also afraid, and I once had the idea of escaping to another world. Penny sighed.
"Your Excellency, you have conquered fear. Fan Ruina exclaimed, "You are an honest and courageous person. β
"I took it as a compliment. The wizard smiled and nodded, "Now it's time to think about how to organize the team to go north." β
...... "That's not enough. Stepping out of the chamber, a dark figure suddenly appeared next to Penny: "These are just rabble, little ones, you need some strength that you can really rely on in this war." β
"Lord Kendyne, I'm trying to stop your plans, aren't you angry?" asked Penny in a low voice.
"Plan? You mean the ritual in the Netherworld? I said, it's unstoppable. Elith Kendain whispered, "Okay, now that you're ready, we can go to Netherworld." β
"Now, so quickly?" asked Penny, stunned.
"Of course, the Lady of the Night needs our knowledge to control the operation of the Ancient Evil Creatures and destroy the operation of the magic web. Elise Kendain said with a smile in his tone: "How about it, do you want to give it a try, interrupt this ceremony, and put an end to this disaster?"
Penny was silent, but his heart was amazed at the confidence of the ancient Arcane Lord: he was so confident that the Night Lady's plan would succeed?
Or is there something else going on?
Penny felt that unless he went to the Netherworld City to take a few looks, he would not be able to get an answer.
And this is also what he has planned for a long time, no matter what, Yin Soul City must go to it.
Erastro and Layla attack from the outside, and he waits for an opportunity to act in them, so that he can better control the course of events and make things work in his favor.
Whether it's to stop the catastrophe that could bring subversive disaster to Feren, or to prevent Sazastan from getting the body of Pendrim, which will then lead to an even greater catastrophe.
He nodded, and Elith Kendain let out a low laugh and burrowed into a portal in front of him.
The sorcerer followed him in, and when he came out, he saw that he was in a bright temple, and the light was shining through the doors and windows of the temple, and two short men with strange skin were carefully cleaning every inch of the temple floor with rags and brooms, and when they saw the Prophet come in with a strange surface man, they only looked up curiously, and lowered their heads again.
"This is the eternal blazing sun of the deep imaska?"
The wizard walked over to the window and squinted at the source of the light to ask Elith.
"Yes, it's beautiful, isn't it?" said Elith Kendyne, holding out his metallic gloved hand, the blazing white light reflecting a dazzling light on the metal shell. β
He sighed, and after a brief moment of silence, picked out some books from several cabinets:
"If you want to follow my people into the Shadows, you need to change your name, change your identity, and disguise yourself as one of our people. β
He handed the scroll to Penny: "You should also memorize some knowledge about Pendrum and the technology of the Ancient Empire as soon as possible, it will not be difficult for you. β
Penny nodded, took the information, and read it carefully at the table next to him.
