Book Four: Chaos Chapter Twenty-Four Becomes Nasty
Isis carefully took out a small piece of light blue crystal from his arms. This was something the employer gave them when he entrusted it to them for the first time, so that he could be notified if anything happened.
This thing has never been used. Apart from the fact that nothing major happened, the main reason is because Isis lost control almost immediately when he saw this thing and quoted the approximate price of this thing to Silica. So Silica also decided
, no need to use it anyway.
But there is usually a limit anyway, as is the case now.
Isis looked at the small piece of crystal and sighed, and said in a heartbroken tone as if he was sending his son as a sacrifice: "If there is a way to sell this thing to Celeste or the Tower of Teeth in the east,
, that is worth at least two thousand gold coins, and this is just selling it as a magic material. This is a star fragment..."
Star Stone is the most magical, rarest and most precious of all magic materials. Like magic jade, it is only produced in the Sandface Mountains. However, unlike magic jade, which is known as the source of magic, it cannot be combined with any system.
The magic resonance cannot store magic. Its only function is to produce a magic wave that cannot be produced by any other means, a magic wave that breaks through the space.
It is impossible to estimate the age when the Star Stone was discovered. It is only known that it is as old as magic culture. The magical fluctuations of magic have attracted countless magicians to invest their whole life in diamonds, but even after countless years, no matter how long it takes,
No matter how many genius magicians have studied, there has never been a space magician on this continent. A great magician once said with emotion that the energy and time spent by countless geniuses on the Star Stone is enough to allow magic culture to move forward.
Promote two hundred years.
But the efforts of these geniuses are not completely in vain. Although they cannot analyze the nature of this kind of magic fluctuation and transform it into various ever-changing spells that can be used flexibly like other magics, they have also figured out the method through countless failed practices.
The teleportation magic circle, teleportation magic scroll, etc. are very practical, although we know them but don't know why.
All space magic relies on star stones to activate. The most complete star stone is called the Star Eye, which is rare in the world. It is the core item of teleportation magic. For hundreds of years, there have been no more than ten teleportation magic arrays on the entire continent.
The main reason is the lack of a complete Star Eye. The fragments of the Star Eye are Star Fragments, which can also be used to build a temporary magic circle that can only be used once. From a practical point of view, it is also precious and undestined, even the smallest one.
Star dust is also an indispensable raw material for making teleportation scrolls.
Except for the complete Star Eye, the other fragments will be scrapped after one use. Of course, the piece in Isis' hand is no exception. However, this fragment is very different from the usual ones. There are lines on it that are finer than a hair.
This palm-sized piece of Mercury forms a magic circle. Just this almost artistic method is enough to show how precious this thing is.
"Don't wait so long, hurry up." Silica said in a deep voice.
Isis nodded, with a sad face as he slowly poured magic power into the crystal piece. The blue magic light began to light up on his hand. This was clearly the light unique to teleportation magic, but it was much smaller and purer.
.
By using the star fragments directly in this way, even the most exquisite magic array cannot use teleportation magic, but it can produce similar effects. This magical light did not disappear as quickly as the teleportation scroll, but condensed in his hand. Above. Not long after, a figure vaguely appeared in the light, and an old but energetic voice came out: "What happened, mercenaries."
"That's it. Respect Dibo." Isis' expression and voice were solemn and pious, which was what he used when praying to God at the Magic Academy many years ago. "We had a little accident, and we also made a statement. Someone who might be of great interest to you..."
Not long after, in a secret place not far from the thieves' test center, the man from Little Sandface also took out an identical star fragment. Infused with magic power, a blue light also showed a silhouette.
"The plan has changed. A temple knight appeared halfway." The man said to the image formed by the magic light. "I decided to change the plan at the last minute. I plan to..."
"I know everything." The image sighed and interrupted the man. "Those guys have informed me just now, and I can probably guess what you want to do."
The man was startled and said, "What did they tell you?"
"They figured out your identity. Tell me about this fake necromancer. Ask me to catch you."
"I didn't expect these guys' heads to be bad. I thought I could hide it from them for a while." The man smiled a little unexpectedly, still smiling. "What did you say?"
"Of course I asked them to do it. Let them make good use of you to get things done in Tularion, and I will naturally come to take care of you. The reward I promised them is enough to make them willing to do anything. Haha." The laughter coming from the shadow was very happy, and even seemed to be a few years younger. "It is an empty promise anyway, no matter how loud it is, it doesn't matter."
"I just hope your acting skills can pass the test." The man smiled and said, "You said you guessed my plan?"
"Are you trying to drag the church into Turalion?"
"It's half right, my target is not the church, but the Guild of the Dead. I have already found a way to tell the Temple Knights that I will go to Tularion. Originally, I was still arranging to let her go without leaving a trace. A helper suddenly appeared and saved me a lot of time. As long as the knight returns and reports..." The man smiled. Probably before the people in Celeste understood, the people in the Necronomicon Guild should understand first. With my identity, they will come directly to Tularion. As long as Diya Valley notices that the leaves of the world tree are in Tularion, the elves will ask for your help even if we don't ask. When the time comes, Ouf You can charge as much as you want."
"Well... to be honest, I have never been confident that these thieves can put enough pressure on the elves. I have also been thinking about drawing the attention of the Necromancer Guild. I didn't expect that someone would do it first." Image thought. After five seconds, his tone still sounded worried. "But it's really risky for you to do this. There are too many uncertainties. The reason why I haven't done this is that I can't grasp the movements of Diagu and Celeste, and I can't really do it." Know yourself and your enemy. What if their reaction is unexpected by you? Are you sure that Diyagu will be more aggressive than the church?"
The man smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry. I reported Sandro's name. The priests and bishops of the church may not understand what it means. But the necromancer will definitely know that it is me. Those guys will definitely know it."
They don’t want me to fall into the hands of the church first, so they will definitely take action before the church people, and I believe they have ways to prevent the church from getting involved.”
"But it's still too risky..." The person in the light and shadow said word by word. "Never underestimate them, no one has the right to underestimate them."
"I never, and I dare not, underestimate those guys. But I know they will definitely do that. With the addition of the leaves of the World Tree, they will definitely not be able to turn a blind eye to this bait."
"I know this, but I still don't feel reassured." The person in the light and shadow hesitated and said nothing. "After all, you can't be careless in dealing with them..."
"Who can really control all the variables?" The man shook his head slightly and sighed. "It is inevitable to take some risks. After all, we don't have much left to pay. If we can transfer here,
Attracting the attention of the church and the Guild of the Dead would also be very beneficial to the situation in Ouf."
"That's right. Time is running out. Maybe we just have to take a risk." The voice in the light and shadow also sighed. "You inform us at the right time. Gru and I will come as soon as possible. Together we three
One's own strength should be enough to handle several necromancers."
"It would be nice if I could kill a few by the way. Haha." The man smiled.
"Don't think too hard. Thank God if you can successfully complete your goal." The voice in the light and shadow sighed. "I just received the news. The church seems to be preparing to send people to the Ironfast Empire. It seems that it is preparing to deal with
Ou Fu adopts a completely hostile attitude. He may also be thinking of ways to fill the power vacuum left after Ronis's death."
"Ionfast Empire?" The man frowned and said, "There... there should be no problem."
"Although there is a peace treaty blocking it, I am still very worried. If the Necromancer Guild really wants to deliberately manipulate, a peace treaty will have no effect. Now I just hope that the guys in the Diya Valley are lucky enough to be able to do it as soon as possible.
Get your news quickly. And focus here."
"Well, I believe my news has spread throughout Celeste now." The man nodded, thought for a while, and said hesitantly. "If things go well here, I want... to go back to the Magic Academy to see...
…Is it ok?"
"You don't need to ask. I have a mission for you to go back to Ironfast, and I will allow you to visit your relatives." The figure chuckled. "I just hope that the leader of our shadow team in Offland will not delay his official duties for personal affairs.
"
"Of course it won't happen. I just don't feel confident and want to go back and have a look." The man showed a very strange expression. "Don't talk about such a big title as leader. In fact, it's just me."
"I have arranged a system for you, but orcs are not suitable for appearing in human society. You'd better find some human companions, people who are as shady as you and have good skills. Now Oufu is the most
It is this kind of talent that is lacking.”
"I'm used to being alone." The man curled his lips and said calmly.
"What you have to consider is not whether you are used to it, but whether it is necessary. It will be much easier for you to have a group of people under you, and you can do more." The figure paused and added.
"You will have many things happen in the future, including when you return to Ironfast..."
The man frowned and thought for a while, then finally nodded: "Maybe you are right, I have some manpower here... I will care about it." He was suddenly startled and sighed. "First consider whether it is necessary... I
Why do I feel like I’m starting to get annoying…”
The light of the small star fragment in my hand began to flicker, and the magic power in the fragment began to dry up.
"Annoying people can usually live longer. In other words, people will eventually become more annoying as they live longer, hahaha..." The figure dropped the last sentence before disappearing.
With a crackle, the light of the star fragment completely disappeared and broke into small ordinary crystal fragments. The man shrugged helplessly, dropped the fragments, turned around and walked away, scratching his head as he walked, muttering: "I hate it... I hate it...
…”
When they returned to the thieves' stronghold, two thieves with smiles on their faces greeted the man: "Mr. Sanders, the leader asked us to prepare the best room for you. Please have a good rest."
The man gave a big thanks, and was led by two thieves to a relatively remote room in the manor. The other thieves had obviously received the leader's order and did not come near to make any noise and disturb the distinguished guest.
rest.
Although the room was a little dark, it was actually very clean. I didn't expect that among the thieves, there were actually good people who could clean up housework. The man closed the door and window, sat on the edge of the bed, sighed, and suddenly said coldly: "You are going to be treated as a sneak attack."
Will one of my men stab me, or will I just walk out on my own?"
"Why can't you carry me out?" A hoarse yet sweet voice sounded. "Aren't you a man? Can't you see that I am a woman? Don't you realize that we are the only two men here?
Two people? Can't you imagine what I want to do?"
"I'm not naive enough to hug a woman when she hears it, no matter what she wants to do." The man didn't lift his head, and his voice was as cold as ice water. "I'll say it for the last time, you'd better come out of here.
"
A figure walked out from the shadow of the doorman, with cat-like steps and leopard-like posture. Female leopard.
"What's wrong with being childish?" This man has jet-black hair, big eyes, a face with black bones and skin that combines beauty and wild charm, and a body that is strong, slender and at the same time erupting from every part.
Plump and slender black tights. Contrary to the man's cold tone, her voice was hot. "Didn't you say that everyone has grown up from childhood...".
