Abyss.
The beast-like creature that had been promoted from an alien rat to a long-eared Dutch pig swaggered over the corpse of a monster, followed by hundreds of strange-shaped creatures, in addition to demonized beasts, and more than a dozen demons.
These demons, including the succubus Disandaro, have some obvious tendency to be mentally retarded, and it is clear that rats don't like too clever men, so after conquering many places, they have turned the recovered guys into fools.
In its opinion, the cunning demon Amodiraklas has a good IQ.
Demons, just fight if you can, it's useless if your IQ is too high, and you always want to rebel.
Its concept is simple and crude.
So it was followed by such a group of crooked guys with drooling mouths and crooked eyes, staggering and smirking on this mountain, Adi frequently turned back, and saw that some of the demons he had feared before followed him and bowed his head, and his mood was very refreshing, scratching his ears and cheeks, and then suddenly saw the mouse stop, only to see the master staring at the red mountain rock in front of him motionless, so he took the initiative to lean up:
"Master, this is an iron mine, which is also accompanied by some ice iron and red iron, so the mountain stone is dark red, it is said that if you are lucky, you can also dig out fine iron from it, which is a good material for making weapons, but the guy you killed just now does not know how to make iron, and wasted such a good resource. β
The little devil had heard a lot of news from the Mind Flayer mage before, so he was familiar with the affairs of this area.
When Belen heard the words of the little devil, his eyes flashed, and he drilled directly into the rock formation, and the stone chips flew out of the hole, and the demons behind him were dumbfounded.
"Adi, what is the master doing?" Di Sandaro leaned over and asked, he had now turned into a fool with an IQ of less than eighty under the torture of the rat's mind, and his face could no longer see the slightest hint of cunning, but was full of 'innocence' obscenity: "When are we going to find that guy, this area has some ability, there is only that guy left, I can't wait to taste his chrysanthemums." β
At the same time that the succubus said this, some of the other demons who had been taken under the command of the rats had already begun to caress the chrysanthemums with unbearable expressions on their faces.
In fact, tempting a man with the image of a man reflects the deviation of the surname from a certain angle.
Adi immediately jumped up: "Shut up, everything is up to the master." β
He's already known as the chief dogleg.
The rat didn't bother to bother with his minions outside, instead concentrating on roaming through the mines, devouring and spitting out stones from ordinary iron ore along the way, searching for the rare metals that were mixed within.
It's its favorite food.
Unbeknownst to it, however, was that there was a psychic on the other side of the mine, using television to see through a tiny abyssal worm.
This wood elf psychic's name is Kudan, a fifth-order psychic insight, born as evil, he was lured by a demon to fall into the abyss during an adventure when he was young, and after the demon died, he settled in this area, and it is also a more famous existence in the vicinity.
Ever since the rat came out, he'd noticed it, and he had tracked the whole process of Belen leading a horde of monsters to run rampant in the area, and he knew very well that the rat was looking for the source of chaos everywhere, and there was one beneath his lair, so he couldn't sit still.
After a long period of observation, he also has an intuitive understanding of the abilities of rats, concealed and high-speed, walks freely in the power of spells, and even has spell-like abilities similar to psychic abilities.
But that's about it.
As a spellcaster, whether it is arcane or psionic, before using these abilities to deal with the enemy, you must first make a careful plan for the enemy's ability, and the wisdom of the psychic warlock is not comparable to that of those confused monsters.
If caught off guard, a mage is likely to die from a sneak attack, but with careful preparation, any spellcaster can be a rather terrifying foe......
He already had a plan. If successful, it will soon be able to wreak havoc or even kill this alien rat.
......
"Oh, you're saying you're looking for at least two of your colleagues to get this appointment?" Inside the Eternal Eye Academy, Rekita frowned and clutched a piece of stamped parchment, "You like being the headmaster so much?"
"Other appointments are not interesting, if you go to the institute, you will not be able to squat in the next life. Penny pursed his lips, as an arcane research organization, the Red Robe undoubtedly attaches great importance to scholarship - although the use of cross-line means in political battles is sometimes tolerated, but if it is cheated in academia, the consequences are very serious, and there is an inquiry meeting within the Red Robe Mage Society, which is said to deal with this kind of problem.
However, Penny knew very well that if he entered the research institute, then if he wanted to hold power, it would be after becoming a high-level mage, and he didn't know if his qualifications could go to that point, in order to create more possibilities, becoming a powerful bureaucrat was a better choice.
And the most powerful position that the new red-robed mage could get - was to go somewhere and become the administrator of a township school.
This position should not be underestimated, and in a way, in Serre, such a 'headmaster' has much more power than the village chief and town mayor.
"The town of Hiren in Sazaha province...... This place...... It seems that there has just been a turmoil, as far as I know, it is close to the mountains, the economy and agriculture are very backward, it is said that there are bandits everywhere, it is difficult to manage, and some of the people in the political axe seem to have considered abandoning this chicken rib before...... Are you sure you want to go?" Rekita looked carefully at the place of appointment, and her eyebrows tightened: "You have to be, this is not far from Sultin, it is the only way for us and Mulholland to pass on land, and their army will not mind giving you some trouble once in a while." β
"I don't think it's difficult to make a result here. Penny raised his eyebrowsβyes, yes, yes, yes, his tattoos were very special, with two black half-moons on his eyebrows, and a slender black line from the center of his forehead to the back of his headβa simple shape that relieved Penny to not be as bells and whistles as his face was, and not as obtrusive as his face: "This is the only overland route between our country and Mulholland, and if this place can be settled, the benefits of the trade route will allow it to develop very quickly." β
"Oh~ You look so confident and ambitious, I'm about to be moved by what you say. The female red robe yawned.
"But it doesn't look like you're interested. Penny shook his head, "You don't think about it anymore?"
"Of course I'd love to get out of here, but I don't know exactly how far you're going to go. The female red robe's expression didn't show any expression: "A new mage with a low background and limited abilities is in this dangerous position, it's hard to believe how far he can go." β
"It turns out that I didn't have confidence in me, so it looks like I'm going to turn down the appointment and become a faculty member or a researcher at the Academy?" Penny sighed a little helplessly.
"Oh, no, no, no, I just wish you could give me a little more confidence. Rekita stretched out a finger and slowly shook it twice in front of her: "Show your abilities?"
"Ability?" said Penny's face with a puzzled look.
"Did you see him?" Rekita glanced out of the corner of her eye at someone sitting on the other side reading a large pile of historical materials, "If you can convince him, I think you're worth it enough to get my help." β
Penny was secretly uncomfortable in his heart, it turned out that he was still a worthless commodity in the heart of this female red robe, and a feeling of contempt spread in the bottom of his heart, but he quickly put away his unhappiness - he knew very well that the surname of the female red robe was like this.
"You know, Searle's political situation is very sinister, as I just said, jumping up and down without a backstage will die a miserable death, and if you make a little achievement, you will be mercilessly greedy by the upper echelons, so for most of the red robes, they prefer to go to the institute rather than the political axe, and if you want to be a bureaucrat, that person can greatly make up for the lack of your political capital. Rekita said slowly, her eyes flashing with calculations: "Although his arrogant surname is unlikely to make the people behind him provide you with much help, as long as he is in your camp, your future will undoubtedly be much smoother." β
"I don't know just how big a backstage he is. Penny frowned, he was indeed very curious about the question, he already knew that Rekita was from the same family as him, but he was a little curious about Hustrofedi.
"He is the nephew of Lord Yefaan, the core descendant of the Focal family. Rekita hesitated for a moment and said, "Not just the prophecy department, you have to think about the distance between the province of Preado and the place you are going to. β
Penny nodded abruptly, the political capital represented by this identity is indeed strong enough.
is not only the head of the school, but also the core son of the six major families.
This identity, I believe that under normal circumstances, is enough to walk sideways in Serge.
The golden power of the n generation.
As for the Focal family, in addition to Ye Fa'an, the chief of the prophecy department, there is another figure who is also very important.
Namia Focal, Governor of the province of Preador.
This province is not far north of Sazahar province.
He thought for a moment and walked towards Hustrofidi.
Rekita's evaluation of Penny is actually not wrong, after all, the red-robed mage will be so big, there are hundreds of mages in each of the six major families, Penny has just entered Flass, who will give him protection?
It would have been much better if we had the help of someone like Hughes.
However, as soon as he got closer, the changemaker looked up and said something that made Penny almost speechless:
"Hmm~ I heard what you just said. Hustrofidi raised his eyelids lazily: "I said that you are willing to roll in this bottomless mage meeting, that is your choice, and I have nothing to do with a copper, I will not express any opinions, but for the sake of our good relationship these days, don't try to drag me into the water, okay?"
"Uh......" Penny was stunned for a moment, then sat down across from the changemaker, "You don't seem to be angry, after all, we were talking about ...... after all."
"Take advantage of me?" Hughes smiled, "You know, everywhere in Serre is full of this kind of relationship, even the best friends will take advantage of each other, not to mention that your ideas are not too much in my opinion. β
"Well, I don't want to force you, if you don't. Penny thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I'm really sorry. β
"It's unbelievable that you're going to say sorry? Hughes looked a little stunned, but was immediately relieved: "Oh, it's not surprising, Sean, I know you're fundamentally different from that madwoman, so it's hard for me to understand your ambitions. β
"If you don't have some motivation, then it's hard to control your own destiny. Penny thought about it and said, "This should be Searle's philosophy." β
"Even if you fight, can you control your destiny?" Hughes asked after a moment's pause.
"What if you don't fight?" Penny smiled and shook his head.
The changemaker listened to Penny's words, lowered his head as if in deep thought, and then let out a long sigh, "Would you like to hear my story?"
