Dust of History Chapter 24: It’s getting annoying
Isis carefully took out a small light blue crystal from his arms. This is what the employer gave them when they entrusted them for the first time, so that they can inform him in case something happens.
This thing has been useless, except that nothing major happened, mainly because Isis lost control almost immediately when he saw this thing, and then reported the approximate price of this thing to Xilica. So Xilica also decided not to use it anyway.
But there is usually a limit to 'whatever', as is the case now.
Isis looked at the small piece of crystal and sighed, and said in a heartbroken tone as if he had sent his son as a sacrifice: "If there is a way to sell this thing to Celeste or the tooth in the east If it is a tower, it is worth at least two thousand gold coins, and this is just selling it as a magic material. This is a fragment of a star..."
Star Stone is the most magical, rarest and most precious of all magic materials. Like magic jade, it is only produced in the Sandefys Mountains. But unlike the magic jade known as the 'source of magic power', it cannot resonate with any type of magic and cannot store magic. Its only function is to be able to produce a magic wave that cannot be produced by any other method, a magic wave that breaks through space.
The age when the Star Stone was discovered has been unable to be evaluated, only that it is as old as magic culture. That kind of magical magic fluctuation has attracted countless magicians to invest their entire lives in diamonds, but even after countless years and countless talented magicians' research, 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 push the magic culture forward for another two hundred years.
But the efforts of these geniuses were not entirely in vain. Although they can't analyze the essence of this kind of magic fluctuation, they can transform various spells that can be flexibly used like other magics, but they have also found out the teleportation magic circle and teleportation magic scroll through countless failed practices. It is something that is known without knowing why.
All earth space magic depends on the star stone to activate. The most complete star stone is called the "eye of the star", which is rare in the world, and it is the core item of transmitting magic. For hundreds of years, there have been no more than ten teleportation magic circles on the entire continent. The main reason is the lack of a complete star eye. The fragments of the star's eye are the fragments of the star, so it can also create a temporary magic circle that can only be used once. From a practical point of view, it is also precious and unfavorable. Even the smallest star dust is an indispensable raw material for making teleportation scrolls.
Except for the complete star eye, the other fragments will be scrapped once used, of course the one in Isis's hand is no exception. However, this fragment is very different from the usual ones. The lines on it, which are finer than a strand of hair, form a magic circle in this palm-sized piece of Mercury. Just this almost artistic approach is enough to show how valuable this thing is.
"Don't dawdle, hurry up." Xilika said in a deep voice
Isis nodded, and slowly poured mana into the crystal with a mournful face. The blue magic light began to light up on his hand. This is obviously the unique light of teleportation magic, but it is much smaller and purer.
Using the star fragments directly in this way, even the most exquisite magic circle cannot use teleportation magic, but it can produce similar effects. This magical light did not flash away like the teleportation scroll, but condensed in his hand. Not long after, a figure appeared faintly in the light, and an old but energetic voice came out: "What happened, mercenaries."
"That's right. Respect Dibo." Isis's expression and voice were very solemn and pious, which was what he used when he prayed to God at the Magic Academy many years ago. "We had a little accident, and we sent someone who you might be interested in..."
Not long after. In a hidden place not far from the thieves' test center, the man from the little Sandefys also took out a star fragment that was exactly the same. Infused with mana, a figure appeared in the blue light.
"The plan has changed, and a temple knight came out halfway." The man said to the image formed by the magic light. "I temporarily decided to change the plan. I plan to..."
"I know everything." The image sighed and interrupted the man's words. "Those guys have informed me just now, and I can probably guess what you want to do."
The man was taken aback and said, "What did they inform you?"
"They see who you are. Tell me about this fake necromancer. Please let me catch you."
"Unexpectedly, these guys' brains are not bad. I thought I could hide them from them for a while." The man smiled a little surprised, still a smile that was not a smile on the surface. "How do you say it?"
"Of course I told them to spread the word. Let them make good use of you to get things done in Tula Leon, and I will naturally come and clean you up. The reward I promised them is enough to make them willing to do it Anything, hehe." The laughter from the shadow was very happy, and even seemed a few years younger. "Anyway, it's an empty promise, it doesn't matter how big it is."
"I just hope your acting skills can pass." The man smiled. explain. "You said you guessed my plan?"
"Are you trying to drag the church into Tularion Laili?"
"Half right, my goal is not the church, but the Necromancer Guild. I have already tried to tell the Temple Knights about my going to Tula Leon. Originally, I was still arranging how to get her out without a trace. Let go, and a helper will come out at the last moment. It saves me a lot of time. As long as the knight returns and reports..." The man smiled. Probably before the people of Celeste understand, the people of the Necromancer Guild should understand my identity first, and they will come directly to Tula Leon, as long as De Yagu notices that the leaf of the world tree is in Ang, the elves will ask you for help even if we don't ask. At that time, Ou Fuda can ask for a lot of money. "
"Well... To be honest, I have never had any confidence in whether these thieves can put enough pressure on the elves. I have also been thinking about drawing the attention of the Necromancer Guild. Unexpectedly, someone did it first. "The video thought about it for five minutes, but the tone still seemed worried. "But it's really risky for you to do this, and there are too many uncertainties. The reason why I haven't done this is that I can't grasp the movements of Dijagu and Celeste, and I can't really know myself and the enemy. In case they react What do you do if it is beyond your expectations? Are you sure that Dejagu will be more hands-on than the church?"
The man smiled lightly. Said: "Don't worry. I announced Sandro's name. The pastors and bishops of the church may not understand what it means. But the necromancer must know that it is me. Those guys will never want me It fell into the hands of the church first, so it must be done before the people of the church, and I believe they have a way to prevent the church from getting involved."
"But it's still too risky..." The person in the light and shadow then said word by word. "Never underestimate them, no one has the right to underestimate them."
"I will never, and dare not underestimate those guys. But I know they will definitely do that. I will add the leaves of the world tree, and they will definitely not be able to ignore this bait."
"I know this too, but I'm still not at ease." The person in the light and shadow hesitated. He fell silent. "After all, you can't be careless when dealing with them..."
"Who can really control all the variables?" The man shook his head slightly and sighed. "It's inevitable to take some risks. After all, we don't have much left to pay. If we can divert the attention of the Church and the Necromancer Guild here, it will be very beneficial to Oufu's situation."
"That's right. Time is running out, maybe I have to take a risk." The voice in the light and shadow also sighed. "You inform us at the right time, and Gru and I will come as soon as possible. With the strength of the three of us, we should be able to deal with several necromancers."
"It would be nice if I could kill a few by the way. Hehe." The man smiled.
"Don't think too much, thank God if you can successfully complete the goal." The voice in the light and shadow sighed. "I just received the news. The church seems to be planning to send people to the Enfast Empire. It seems that they are preparing to take a comprehensive hostile attitude towards Oufu. They probably want to fill in the power vacuum after Ronnie's death by the way. Let's go."
"Ernfast Empire?" The man frowned. Said: "Over there... there should be no problem."
"Although there is a peace treaty blocking it, I am still very worried. If the Guild of Necromancers really wants to manipulate deliberately, a paper peace treaty is useless. Now I only hope that the guys in Diya Valley will be lucky enough to be able to Get your news at the fastest speed. And focus on here."
"Well, I believe my news has already spread to Celeste." The man nodded, thought for a while, and said with some hesitation. "If it goes well here. I think... I want to go back to the Magic Academy to see... okay?"
"You don't need to ask, I have a task for you to go back to Ernfast, and I will allow you to visit relatives by the way." The figure chuckled. "I just hope that the leader of our Oufudi shadow team will not delay the official business because of personal affairs."
"Of course not, I just don't feel at ease 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 the leader, in fact, I am not alone?"
"I have arranged for you, it's just that orcs are not suitable for appearing in human society. You'd better find some human companions, the kind of people who are as shameless as you and have good skills. Now What Oufu lacks most is this kind of talent."
"I'm used to it by myself." The man curled his lips and said lightly.
"What you have to consider is not whether you are used to it, but whether it is necessary. It is much more convenient for you to have a group of people under you, and you can do more." The figure stopped, Added a sentence. "You will have a lot of things in the future, including when you return to Ernfast..."
The man frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Maybe you are right, I have some people here... I will care about it." He was startled suddenly, and sighed. "First consider whether it's necessary... Why do I feel like I'm starting to hate..."
The light of the small piece of star fragment in his hand began to flicker, and the magic power in the fragment began to dry up.
"Annoying people can usually live longer. In other words, after a long life, people will eventually become more annoying, hahaha..." The figure dropped the last sentence before disappearing.
With a crackle, the light of the shards of the stars disappeared completely, and shattered into tiny ordinary crystal fragments. The man shrugged helplessly, dropped the fragments, turned and walked away, scratching his head while walking, muttering: "I hate it... I hate it..."
When they returned to the thief's stronghold, two smiling thieves greeted the man: "Mr. Sanders, the leader told us to prepare the best room for you, please rest well."
The man gave a big sting, 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 approach here to make noise~IndoMTL.com ~Let this distinguished guest rest well.
Although the room was a bit dark, it was actually cleaned up very cleanly. Unexpectedly, among the thieves, there were still good housekeepers. The man closed the door and window, sat on the edge of the bed, sighed, and suddenly said coldly, "Are you going to be stabbed as someone who attacked me, or come out obediently?"
"Why can't you carry me out?" A somewhat hoarse voice sounded cloyingly sweet. "Aren't you a man? Can't you see that I'm a woman? Don't you realize that there are only us, a man and a woman, here? Can't you imagine what I want to do?"
"I'm not naive enough to hug a woman, no matter what she wants to do." The man didn't even lift his voice, his voice was as cold as ice water. "Let me say this one last time, you'd better come out obediently yourself."
A figure stepped out from the shadow of the doorman, with cat-like steps and leopard-like posture. female leopard.
"What's so bad about being childish?" This person has jet-black hair, big eyes, and a black bone-skinned face that combines beauty, beauty, and wild charm, and every part of his body is erupting with strength. Slender yet plump and slender black tights. Contrary to the man's cold tone, her voice was hot. "Didn't you say that everyone comes from childishness..."
