330 Grave Keeper
Faced with one of the most powerful humans in all of Ferron, Penny could only send a projection to negotiate with the wizard when he was unsure, and the first words of the ** master made him feel very stunned.
"Spells, boy, are good, no wonder you can get so many nasty guys in trouble. ”
Although the previous intrusion seemed very presumptuous, this sentence let Penny know that the old man did not seem to have any malicious intent.
Using some legends as references, many in Ferron know that Ilminster is unruly and unpredictable, and that his early days in the service of the mysterious lady caused a lot of jokes, so it seems that it is not too out of the ordinary to swagger into a mage's tower with a living owner like a tourist.
It's just that Ilminster would visit in person, which undoubtedly made Penny feel a little incredible.
This seemed to send him a signal that Pan Diesel, who was targeted by the Great Sage of the Shadow Valley, was no longer a nobody.
Surprised to surprised, what happened in the Mage Tower made it difficult for the wizard to convince himself to face the great sage with a kind attitude, and with displeasure on his face, he ordered the waiter to entertain the guest from afar in the manor's dining room, and to inquire about his purpose by the way:
"It's not a good habit to break into someone's house in broad daylight without knocking, Mr. Ilminster. ”
As he spoke, Penny was also observing the appearance of the old man, not far from the rumor, unkempt clothes, tall and burly figure, as if he did not care about everything, and his broad forehead and calm eyes revealed a sense of wisdom, which made people inadvertently feel that there was nothing to hide in front of this person.
At the same time, Ilminster was also observing this wizard who had recently become famous on the coast, and before coming, the ** master had made countless preparations, and knew some news about this young wizard, and even knew about what Penny had done to the Dragon Witch Cult in the astral plane.
He looked at this young face, and knew that this kid was indeed very young, and if he didn't count the gifts that might be received in the Tomb of Time, he was even more young to the point of being surprisingly young, and it was really amazing to have such mana at this age, even a voter like Ilminster was very surprised.
Of course, what is even more interesting to Ilminster is the history of this young man, from the up-and-coming red-robed mage to the traitor, from being hunted down to becoming the savior of Simon City, he has extraordinary power in a very short period of time, and the twists and turns of the plot can be said to have all the characteristics of a legendary character, which makes Ilminster's eyes look at Penny even more ambiguous.
After a short encounter, Ilminster found that this junior was as good as he had been rumored.
Such a promising junior, of course, must be well guided so as not to go astray.
As a loyal apostle of the goddess of magic, he soon had such an idea.
Although Penny had played some tricks in the struggle for Simon City, it was perfectly acceptable in Ilminster's opinion - at least the results of these actions were positive, and although they hurt some people, it was only because of the bad habits brought out of Searle.
The old man thought optimistically.
"Perhaps, but lad. The old man's smiling eyes looked at the wizard's image, a gaze that gave Penny, who was far away inside the mage's tower, the illusion that he could see his true nature through complex magical devices: "There are fewer and fewer things on this continent that can interest me, the old man. ”
"Shall I be honored, then?" said Penny, who felt a chill, but could not avoid Ilminster's gaze, and could only distract the old man with his question.
"Oh, old man, I don't like this kind of politeness, just say it, boy, you're in big trouble. Ilminster tapped his cigarette pouch on the table and decided to go straight in: "Not long ago, I watched Samast leave the underground of the city of Simon. ”
As soon as Penny's heart jumped, the cold sweat on his forehead fell.
Samast actually went to the main material realm in person, which really made him a little unbelievable, but then again, there was no need for Ilminster to deceive him.
"It's probably Leila's recent moves that have stimulated him, and this time his plan is not small. Ilminster muttered, "By the way, what kind of hatred is there between you and Deep Imaska?"
"Deep Imaska?" Hearing the hatred that had arisen between himself and the group, Penny suddenly felt a little inexplicable.
He knew that when the Otherworldly God Clan captured Luoyan, a small group of Imaska people survived the disaster underground, and they became the purest descendants of Imaska in the whole of Faeron blood, and after thousands of years of living in the dark regions, their skin looked a little sickly pale, and they became a unique race.
Legend has it that these imascas are powerful spellcasters who have survived the ancient empire, and the little information gathered from various parties, as well as the information revealed by Helast, has convinced Penny that this group is related to the Restoration.
In order to avoid the sight of this group of people, the black robe of Helast, who was the tomb keeper, moved from East Ferron, where the ancient empire was located, to the deep water located in the western coastal area.
In the description of the black robe, these people are secretive and powerful, and often cause great trouble for the tomb keepers.
Penny couldn't imagine any trouble between himself and these men, for he had never seen a single so-called deep Imaska since he was born, but his expression sank as he listened to Ilminster's brief recounting.
It does look like there is a group of deep imasca people working against themselves.
He looked at Ilminster, wanting to confirm the news' real surname.
And the ** master seemed to be able to see everything and looked lazily at Penny's contemplative face, and the wizard moved his eyes vigilantly, as if sensing that the atmosphere became a little subtle with this topic.
"Ah, lad, I don't have to lie to you, this is indeed everything I have experienced in your city. Ilminster yawned and spat out two smoke rings: "Actually, I'd rather ask you what you know, but it doesn't look like you're going to tell me more." ”
The Chief Elector was a little disappointed that he was not being treated with honesty in the face of Penny's silence, but as a wizard, he could still understand the caution of the young man, and without such caution, he might not have survived in Serre at all.
Ilminster convinced himself that it would be difficult to gain the trust of the wizard.
However, he was not discouraged, and this kind of task with a challenging surname can keep him motivated.
Penny remained silent, but there was no doubt that through this conversation, Ilminster would inevitably become interested in the relationship between Penny and the Deep Imaska.
"Pendrum the God Butcher. The wizard thought for a moment, but revealed something he knew: "If I'm not mistaken, Samaste is probably here for this thing." ”
The things buried by the ancient empire that can destroy the world, except for this ancient evil thing, probably nothing else.
As for Isil Aaron, Penny automatically ignored it, he didn't know what it was, and the keys were scattered all over Ferron, believing that Lord Samast would not be interested in it.
Destroying the world simply and rudely, the ancient evil creatures are fully competent.
The mage thought about it, if Samast was allowed to find Pendrim's body and soul, destroying the world would not be an impossible task.
Samast was so crazy that Penny felt that it was difficult for him to achieve his goal, and with the terrifying power of the demigod lich, it would be difficult for a thin guardian to stop him from achieving his goal.
After weighing up, the wizard told part of the truth to the chosen people of the goddess of magic.
"Pendrim?" Apparently having seen the name in some uncirculated ancient book, Ilminster's white eyebrows tangled deeply: "This is a crazy idea. ”
"I don't know where he's buried, honorable Mr. Ilminster. Penny shook his head at Ilminster's inquiring gaze, "Believe me telling the truth, I don't even know why the deep Imaska people are bothering me. ”
For Penny, this is indeed a complete truth, Helaster has not yet found the group of grave keepers who have been abandoned by him for an unknown number of years, and Penny has not asked for detailed information about the ruins, and the trouble of the deep Imaska people is even more inexplicable to him.
Of course, Penny also realizes that it is likely that the deep imasca people are aware that he harbors something that will interest them.
Whether it's the black robe of Hyraste, the former leader of the Grave Keepers, or the mysterious key of Isil Aaron.
Thinking of this, he secretly touched the crystal rod in his arms.
"That's a shame, but I'd like you to let us know if you have any news. Ilminster leaned forward slightly, and his original expression became extremely serious: "Boy, it's about the safety of Feerun, we can't let that madman mess around in the main material world." ”
After learning the news of Pendrim, Ilminster instantly lost the interest to continue talking, and the reappearance of the ancient evil was definitely not a trivial matter, and it was difficult to get more news here, and he needed to inform his allies.
Sitting in the center of the Mage Tower, Penny thought in silence, with his own strength, he was definitely not Samast's opponent, so it seemed that seeking help from the outside world was also necessary.
"Pendram?" The black robe of Hyrust next to him frowned deeply: "Hell, why do so many people want to find that thing?"
"Do you know the exact location?" asked Penny, though he hadn't contacted the grave keeper, but as the protector of the ancient empire's heritage, there was no reason why Helast didn't know the location of the ruins.
"In the Giant's Run Mountains, it is the farthest of the three ruins from Luoyan. Hylaster thought for a moment and spoke, "The Empire's technicians must make sure that the three bodies are far enough away from Pendrim's soul, but not too far apart, otherwise the Ancient Evil will most likely mutate into other forms. ”
"Giants Running Mountains, isn't that just south of the Dragon's Coast?" the wizard raised an eyebrow, not expecting the ruins of the ancient empire to be so close to his lair.
"Of course, you must know that my men have run a route from the deep waters to Loan, and the longest stretch on the way is the southern shore of the Falling Star Sea, from the Turmis-Quesenta to Enser and Moulin, and the remnants of the empire, most of which are scattered in this generation, were sparsely populated barren lands in our time. Hylaste pouted, "It's not much better now." ”
The mage cupped his chin and groaned, beginning to consider whether or not to inform Ilminster of this message.
"By the way, I've found the grave keepers. At this point, Hylast's words diverted his attention: "You can contact them." ”
