As it is close to the Dragon Jaw Mountains of the Imasca Empire, Garen has no intention of turning this place into his own territory.
Among the Dragon Jaw Mountains, he just chose a reasonably sized mountain deep in the mountains, intending to use it as his temporary habitat. Before that, the place Garen chose already had an owner.
A tribe of trolls occupy this place.
Facing the arrival of Garen, this troll clan named Gorehowl naturally surrendered under the wings of the legendary dragon.
The Gorehowl trolls were also the only dependent clan that Garen conquered in the Dragon Jaw Mountains.
With strong backing, the trolls want to conquer more territories for Garleon.
However, under Galen's order, they did not do so.
Garen's subjugation of these dependents is just to provide some convenience for his own life, rather than to expand his influence. It feels good to evoke some of the dependents, because he is secretly plotting the Imasca Empire, and the Dragon Jaw Mountains are far away from Yimasca.
The Masca Empire is not far away, and Garen does not want to alert the enemy and attract the attention of the Imasca Empire too early.
Time passes quietly.
The days passed peacefully.
Duke Thorin, who has become Garen's tentacle, will contact Garen every once in a while to report to him the news within the empire.
This guy relies on his handsome and charming appearance and his status as a great noble to circulate among the upper class nobles of the empire. By finding every opportunity to establish contact with each noble lady, he has obtained a lot of secret information about the Imasca Empire.
However, these have no effect on Galleons.
His target is the secret weapon of Imasca, and the best time to take action is when the Imasca Empire declines.
Before that, Garen gave Thorin a mission.
Do more business dealings with the several gadget lords who hold the secret weapon of Imaskar, gather information about the secret weapon of Imaskar, and search for the personal habits of these gadget lords, because the masters of the secret weapon of the empire
Without exception, the Lords of Artifacts have strong individual strength and are among the top legendary Artifact Masters. It will not be easy to directly seize the Empire's secret weapons from their hands.
Galleons spent most of his time sleeping.
In his free time, he conducts numerous but not boring research.
Arcana, Magic Network, Magical Weapon Heritage, Power of Time......In this timeline, Garen himself grows very slowly, but this does not prevent him from learning through a long period of time.
Gradually mastering his own abilities, overall, his strength is still improving steadily, but at a slower pace.
Dedicated research brings rewards.
Garen mainly relies on his own talent in learning spells, which means that his knowledge is not profound, and his background is a bit shallow compared to normal legendary casters. However, as time goes by, his knowledge base is improving rapidly.
Accumulate and gradually become equal to other legendary spellcasters.
In the blink of an eye, a year passed quietly.
"The energy of the gate of time and space is far from perfect."
Garen raised his left wrist, and the nine gems that made up the Imaskal Ring were dotted on the silver dragon scales, exuding a faint luster.
"At the current rate, it will take at least thirty years to fill the gate of time and space."
Garen shook his head slightly.
The total time he has lived in the main timeline is less than thirty years.
"However, if I stay in the parallel timeline for a hundred years, only one year has passed in the main timeline, and my physical growth is only equivalent to one year in the main timeline."
The silver dragon's eyes showed contemplation, and its tail swayed restlessly.
"Then the question is, my age is considered to have increased by 100 years, but I am still one year old?"
Even if he is a hundred years old, his strength is not up to the level of an adult Time Dragon. If he is one year old, he has indeed spent a hundred years.
"However, time has always passed at a different speed for me."
"It is more appropriate to calculate based on the age of the main timeline."
"Otherwise, I would be a hundred years old, but Yuna is still less than twenty. This would be too strange."
Garen felt that the dragon's age should be calculated based on normal growth. In this case, he would still be a tender young dragon when he returned to the main timeline.
A small baby dragon that is almost fifty meters long.
Gallon did not think deeply about this issue.
Anyway, his age is what he decides.
Next, Garen closed his eyes, and the structure of the magic network and the obscure and twisted arcane runes appeared in his mind, and he continued his research and understanding of arcana.
However, this research was interrupted not long after.
A communication crystal was constantly vibrating, emitting mana fluctuations belonging to Iolum.
Garen took out the communication crystal and injected magic power into it.
The moment the magic power entered the communication crystal, its trembling stopped. At the same time, a piece of light of different colors bloomed, intertwining into a vivid picture in the blink of an eye. In the picture, Iolum's face was revealed.
He looked like he was in his own mage tower, with rows of bookshelves several meters high behind him, filled with thick and dense books.
"It seems you have ended the war against the orcs."
Garen looked at the environment around Iolum and said.
This was the first time Iolum contacted him after he parted ways with the Grand Arcanist.
Iolum nodded and said: "Three months ago, the orc army was completely defeated by us. There are no traces of the orcs in the lands around Netheril."
He smiled from the bottom of his heart and continued: "After that, I can finally concentrate on my own arcane research."
Arcana is a profound art.
Esoteric skills require the most focused and in-depth research.
Due to the threat of the orcs, Iolum's spirit has never been completely concentrated, and he has always put part of his mind on dealing with the plunder of the orcs, but now he can take back this part of his mind and focus entirely on arcane research.
Up.
With his mind completely relaxed, he achieved certain results in just two months.
Garen nodded slightly and said: "Congratulations, I look forward to the day when the floating city will be realized."
Garen knows his shortcomings.
His spell creativity is not outstanding at all compared to great arcanists like Iolum. Garen has tried to create legendary spells on his own, but has never succeeded.
For Garen, associating with a great arcanist like Iolum is a good way to obtain powerful arcane spells.
at the same time.
In the picture displayed by the communication crystal, Iolum raised his palm.
A ball of faint blue light composed of dense arcane runes appeared in Iolum's palm, illuminating his face with a faint blue light. At first glance, it looked a bit evil.
Garen's arcane attainments are not low either.
He could see that the blue ball of light in Iolum's palm was a completed spell model. In addition to the arcane runes of Netheril, it also contained many spell runes that Garen was familiar with.
"What's this?"
Garen asked.
Iolum looked at the blue light ball and said: "I have been studying the results of two months of retreat, the ten-ring spell, the immortality spell."
"Human life is too short, and the road to truth is too long."
"This spell can give the arcanist almost eternal life, giving him enough time to explore the nature of the world, and there is no cost to himself."
The immortality spell without any price... Garen narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the spell model in Iolum's hand.
Garen is an immortal dragon, he does not need the immortality spell, but Garen knows what such a spell means to a human arcanist.
Spell research is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the lifespan of the human species is too short in comparison.
Of course, at this time, arcanists already had many means of extending their lives.
But these methods without exception come at a huge cost.
For example, Haris, who became a lich, became extremely evil in his heart and became a great disaster to his country.
Iolum's immortality spell allows human arcanists to live forever while preserving their pure will as an arcanist, without being affected by the negative costs of other ways of immortality. Such a spell can allow Nether to
The Grand Arcanists of Riel survived with their true selves, enough to become the cornerstone of a civilization.
To be continued...
