β...... Elder, that's how it happened. "Back in the deep Imasca, she reported what had happened, but she didn't get an answer for a while, Renas raised her head slightly, and the elder was still standing in the center of the temple, like a silent stone statue.
"It's a good style to win by building, it's a genius. After a long time, Elise Kendain said a smiling word of approval: "Sure enough...... Very valuable. β
"Value?" Rynass's eyelids jumped, surprised by the Elder's approval.
This doesn't feel like an evaluation of the enemy.
In Renas's mind, the person who snatched the key to the empire was no friend.
"We don't know what the future holds, but there is no doubt that this man is a key player in my plans, Renus, who is far more important than you think. β
Renas's heart suddenly sudden, but she didn't expect that wizard to have such a status in the elder's heart, which she never expected.
"By the way, the Shadow City invited me not long ago to be part of their great plan......" Elith Kendain said this, seemingly pausing in a deep voice, and turning his gaze to Renas, as if he felt that he had said something that he should not have said.
Renas's heart skipped a beat, and she bowed to leave the temple, but the elder waved her hand and motioned for her to stop.
"It doesn't matter, I'm sure you're tough enough, and you already know a lot, Renas. The elder withdrew his palm: "What's more, it's not a big deal, from the moment the plan begins, these are destined to happen." β
"Elder, I think the Church of the Shade and the Lady of the Night have ill intentions......" Renas's face changed for a moment before she finally spoke.
"Of course I know they have bad intentions, but they still need me, with Shar's own power, without the Empire's research on Pendrim, they can't even think of using the slightest bit of its power. Elith Kendyne was straightforward about Shar's name, not shy about any possible supernatural surveillance, which had no effect on most legendary mages, "And I'm going to keep an eye on them, and maybe we can turn the tide in our favor." β
"Elder, your wisdom is unmatched. I don't know what the elder has in mind, Renas can only compliment him in a customary way.
"No one compares?" said Elise Kendain's tone rose slightly, as if with some irony.
For most wizards, the more they know, the more they understand their ignorance.
Sensing that the study of magic alone was no longer beneficial to the advancement of the arcane, Penny decisively stopped his work, and after studying a few spells, he focused on building a new mage tower.
The old lair was destroyed, and of course it became extremely important to build a new one, but in a hurry, the wizard spent a few weeks customizing a nine-ring spell, and the prototype of a mage tower was erected by the sea, and the rest of the time was to set up various spell devices for this mage tower, and a lot of materials removed from the destroyed mage tower saved the wizard a lot of expenses, and the rest of the time was to compile the internal structure of the mage tower, for this reason, the wizard used the highest magic power that could be used at this stage to infuse an arcane soul into the center of the mage tower, so that it could complete the construction of the mage tower autonomouslyγ
It took only a month for the work to end, and in this month, just as Penny had expected, the red-robed mage came, but the people who came were completely different from what he had expected.
"Oh, are you, Mr. Tangasa?" the name that came out of the wizard's mouth pressed into his throat as he looked at the red-robed apprentice sitting across from him through the projection. ...,
He couldn't have imagined that it was this lord who came to the door first, and he went straight to his newly built mage tower, which of course was beyond his expectations.
Although he vaguely felt that the red-robed ** division who had ruled the entire Searle for nearly two centuries would not die so easily in the Sunrise Mountain Range, it was confirmed under his eyes, and it was still another shock.
When Penny saw this man appear under the mage's tower, his nerves fell into a momentary jumper.
After much deliberation, he decided to use the projection to make contact with the lich, and just sat down to call him by his name, but fortunately remembered in time that although he knew that this Tangasa was Sazastan, Sazastan himself did not know that Penny had appeared in the depths of the ruins of the Sunrise Mountains.
It's just that Sazastan doesn't seem to hide his identity now, although he has the appearance of an apprentice, but a powerful aura full of arcane power has not been concealed at all, and after seeing the wizard's surprised expression, a strange smile appeared on his face, and his face slowly changed, revealing another face in front of Penny's eyes.
Penny's heart skipped a beat twice, and it was actually this lord who performed the initiation ceremony for him when he officially became a red-robed mage, which was indeed something he didn't expect.
Seeing Sazastan show this face in front of his eyes, Penny finally knew that the chief of the necromancer was not ready to hide his identity, and in the next moment, the old man's skin gradually dried up and shrunk, turning into a skinny and dry corpse, and the two pupils were also replaced by phosphorus fire: "Little friend, it seems that you are not surprised. β
"Not really, Lord Sazastan. The wizard nodded, "Actually, I was surprised. β
"Really?" the lich let out a low laugh, not surprised that Penny had called out his name, he had already made many movements, and if he didn't know his identity as a wizard until now, he would have doubted Penny's intelligence, "Then you don't have to, I'm in your presence, and it's not good for you." β
"Forgive me for being rude, Lord Sazastan, in this way, you hid yourself by faking your death?" Penny frowned, he wanted to ask more about the reason why Sazastan chose to fake his death back then, if it wasn't for something important to do, how could he let go of his power in Serre and take advantage of the situation to live in seclusion through a shoddy conspiracy.
But this kind of ** question is not suitable for Penny to ask, he also knows this, even if he asks, he will not get an answer, he asks in this way, in fact, he hopes that Sazastan can reveal something under this kind of side knocking, to satisfy Penny's curiosity.
"I just want my enemies to be exposed, and to do a little bit of my own thing. Sazastan smiled hesitantly, and did not answer the wizard's most concerned question, which made Penny feel a little regretful, it seems that Sazastan is busy with secrets that cannot be easily leaked, which makes him feel secretly wary - in fact, in the face of a legendary mage, Penny will never dare to let his spirit relax in the slightest, even if the arrival of this one is really beneficial to him.
"It's good here, it seems that Samast can't help you. While Penny was not speaking, Sazastan looked up at the surrounding scenery, the new mage tower was built on a high cliff by the sea, the scenery was beautiful, the nearby coast drew a graceful arc to the distant forest, and the seabirds flew up and down, which was refreshing: "You are indeed the best of Serge." β
"Thank you for the compliment, Chief, in that case, you came to me this time to ask me to do something for you......"
"Yes, to retrieve the power that has been temporarily deposited with my two friends, you know. Sazastan raised his fingers, and the sharp nails struck the table with a subtle, audible sound. ...,
"IMHO. The wizard frowned and shook his head, looking at the two leaping phosphorus fires: "Lord Sazastan, it is not difficult for you to achieve this goal, with your prestige, you only need to raise your arms and ......."
"No, no, no, that's too unartistic. Sazastan shook his head: "I'm tired of going on and on with those old friends, this time I have to solve all the problems at once, so I need a competent assistant, dear Sean, you are suitable for this role, well, you want revenge, don't you? β
"You have a point, Lord Sazastan. The wizard nodded, thinking to himself that if the Chief wanted to sweep away the opponents' camp with a thunderous force, then someone would need to muddy the waters for him...... Sazastan came to him to make him the one who muddies the waters?
He is not averse to this, now that he has a certain level of arcane power, he hopes to be able to return to Searle for revenge - there are very few people in the Red Robe Mage Guild who can be his opponent, but it is unlikely that he can complete the revenge alone, he does not need all the wizards in the Red Robe Mage Guild, and the two direct subordinates of Neveron and Lauzorel alone are enough for him to bear.
So he needs allies, a suitable entry point.
In Penny's eyes, the former necromancer in front of him was a good thigh, and it seemed that the two sides still needed each other.
"Yes, that's it, dear Thean, you didn't disappoint me. From Penny's expression, Sazastan roughly judged that the young junior had understood what he meant, and let out a hoarse laugh, as if to express satisfaction.
"And what should I do?" asked Penny, now that Sazastan had arrived, he must have made arrangements and plans for what to do next, and there must have been something he wanted him to do.
"Oh, let's not talk about Searle yet, Sean, do you know how many Searles are preparing to go to Simon right now?" Sazastan raised his chin, as if trying to show a smile: "As far as I know, there are some people who have already arrived in the West Falling Star Sea and are trying to find a way to deal with you. β
"So?" the wizard's eyebrows jumped.
This was not news that surprised him, in fact, for the past month, he had been waiting for the Serles to come to his door, and the exposure of the giant god soldiers was destined to have him not much time to hide.
"At the same time, another group of people are watching here, and they are watching...... You. Sazastan pointed his finger at Penny: "My dear friend, you have to behave well with them." β
"You mean...... They?" The wizard raised his eyebrows again, thinking of the figure that Sazastan might mention.
"Of course. Sazastan, who was sitting opposite the wizard's projection, nodded slightly in approval, and the phosphorus fire in his eyes burned quietly: "They are you, and I have the opportunity to intervene in the situation of Serre......"
