When Russell walked to the door of the living room, he saw Lando who was admiring the mural. He suppressed the irritability and... fear in his heart and walked forward.
"Mr. Lando, long time no see."
Lando turned around and said with a smile: "Lasse, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so haggard?"
Russell cursed in his heart, isn’t it because of you?!
"There's something wrong with the research, it's nothing serious."
Magician, your physique is not good!
Lando faced the mural in the living room again and asked with interest: "What is... painted on it?"
The mural is very simple. There are two figures painted on it, an old man in white robes dressed as a magician, and an old man in animal skin. The image is similar to the druid that Lando knows. The background is a bit blurry, but vaguely.
The outline of a ring-shaped tower can be seen, similar to the tower standing in the center of the natural ring.
Russell explained: "This is the scene of the two first-generation founders of the Natural Circle establishing the Natural Circle. One of them is a peak legendary magician, and the other is a peak legendary druid."
"Magicians and druids? But I think there are no druids in the natural circle today, right?" Lando secretly thought, maybe there was a conflict and a 'divorce'.
"Druids are more suitable for the forest environment, both in terms of inheritance and cultivation, so they are usually in the wider Eternal Forest. We have been friends with druids for generations." Russell seemed to know what Lando was thinking.
What, explained directly.
“One of the original intentions of our Nature Circle is to maintain the balance between nature and intelligent creatures. This is recognized by the two founders and is also the main purpose of our Nature Circle’s actions.”
"Oh!~How awesome!" Lando praised without emotion.
"Okay, Mr. Lando, you're not here to catch up with me this time, right? Could you please tell me your purpose?" Russell took the initiative to bring the conversation back on track.
I just came to catch up with you, what can you do to me?
Lando glanced at Russell, who looked like he had been high for three days and three nights, and looked like he might die suddenly at any time, but in the end he did not say any teasing words.
"I'm here to meet your tower master, and I hope you can recommend him." Lando said a little more seriously.
Generally, for this kind of magician-based spellcasting organization, the leader will be called the tower master.
There was some hesitation in Russell's mind. Although the contemporary tower master was not a peak legend, he was quite close. With the blessing of the magic tower, even two or three peak legends would not be afraid to attack the Ring of Nature. What's more, Lando wanted to
To see the tower owner, you can only enter the inside of the magic tower, which will only increase the restrictions and oppression on Lando.
But Russell knows this, and Lando must also know that since the latter can make such a request, he must be sure to escape at any time. Thinking based on this point, and adding Lando's evil character (Lasse's perspective)
, so he didn't do it for Lando, thinking that the other party must have bad intentions.
But he was also tricked by Lando, and if he refused, his life might not be saved.
On the one hand, he was loyal to the organization, and on the other hand, he was concerned about his own life. Lasse couldn't help but start a war between heaven and man.
Lando looked at the silent Lasse in front of him with a strange expression. His spiritual power vaguely sensed the other person's thoughts, which made him feel funny. Is this a battle of wits with the air?!
Oh, Lando came here just to attack other people's organizations, so that's okay!
Shaking his head, Lando took out a pamphlet that he had prepared long ago, tore it open in the middle, handed half of it to Russell, and motioned for him to read it first.
Just as Lando prepared the relevant interests of Sailport when he went to meet High King Elessa Telkanta, he naturally came to the Ring of Nature well prepared and did not come empty-handed.
Russell took the half of the booklet with some confusion, opened it, and read it for half an hour. The more he read, the more excited he became, and in the end he started to tremble slightly.
After he finished reading, he couldn't wait to look at the remaining half of the book in Lando's hand, and immediately reached out to take it. However, when he reached halfway, he saw Lando looking at him with a smile, and it was like a basin of cold water suddenly poured over him.
When he woke up, his hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air.
Lando naturally understood Russell's excitement. The booklet he gave recorded the basic runes of rune magic. It was quite different from the mainstream magic of the world. There were even complete runes in it.
The function of Magic Network Magic is recorded in the entire booklet, which is about one-fifth of the basic content of runes. This kind of knowledge is as attractive to magicians in this world as the LSP who has been abstinent for twenty years sees Chi Guoguo.
As a stunning beauty, it’s not hard to imagine Russell’s reaction.
"I'm here to negotiate a deal with your tower master. You can hand over what you have to your tower master." Lando said with a smile.
Russell was silent for a long time. He knew that he could not stop this meeting. With the things in his hands, he could just hand them over to a magician from the Ring of Nature and ask him to take them to the tower owner. The tower owner would definitely meet Lando.
He tightened the half of the booklet in his hand, then slowly relaxed it and said, "Wait a moment, I will report to the tower master now."
Looking at Russell's leaving figure, Lando didn't pay attention and began to taste the tea and cakes in the living room.
Russell hurriedly walked to the magic tower of the Nature Circle. After a brief briefing, he received permission to enter. As a rare senior magician in the Nature Circle, he still had the authority to meet the tower owner.
When he reached the top floor of the tower and saw the old man in white robes who was reading a book, Lasse's steps became lighter.
"Lasse, what's the matter? Have you encountered any difficulties in research?" Tower owner Servet Randolph asked gently when he saw Russell's look.
Lasse did not bother to explain his current situation, and quickly told Lando's purpose, and respectfully handed half of the booklet in his hand to the tower owner.
Servit took it and flipped through it casually, and saw that more than ten minutes had passed. Russell did not rush him, but stood aside and waited quietly.
"Huh!~ I didn't expect it. I didn't expect that the mystery of magic is so profound that it is worth spending our whole lives exploring!" Servit looked at Russell and asked eagerly: "Who has the remaining half of the book... Lan?"
Mr. Duo? He wants to see me?"
"Yes." Russell replied respectfully.
Serweite thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "In that case, just bring him to see me."
Lasse opened his mouth, but didn't say anything after all. He understood what the tower master meant. Inviting Lando into the magic tower was also a kind of test. If possible, the tower master would very much like to keep him as a 'guest' in the ring of nature.
, but Russell also understood that what he could think of before, the tower owner must also be able to think of. Now he can do nothing but pray that nothing will happen.
When Lasse met Lando again and told the tower that he would meet him in the Magic Tower, Lando immediately agreed. After Lasse's careful observation, the latter showed no hesitation or hesitation.
On the way, Russell couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Lando is a magician?"
"So be it." Lando replied.
"Mr. Nalando must have received a very powerful inheritance. To be able to produce this kind of knowledge, your magical attainments must be amazing." Russell said with some compliments.
"It's not bad, I'm pretty good among my peers over there," Lando said casually.
"..." Regarding Lando's words, Russell only felt that the other party was perfunctory.
On the way, Russell asked a few more tentative questions, but he always felt that Lando's answers were wrong, so he didn't say more.
Arriving in front of the tower, as the tower door opened, Lasse didn't even dare to look at Lando and lowered his head to invite him in.
Lando looked at the magic tower that had entered activation mode. He smiled lightly and stepped into it without any hesitation.
He went in without hesitation. Didn't he know the significance of the magic tower to the magician? No, it was impossible. This kind of thing should be known to everyone. He, he was really confident!
Lasse roared in his heart, he wanted to tell the tower master everything he knew immediately at all costs, but in the end he remained motionless and watched the tower door slowly fall, and he also slowly seemed to have lost all his strength.
Slowly fell to the ground.
Lando walked among the magic towers of the Ring of Nature and saw no one. Only the constantly brightening magic halo guided his way forward.
When he reached the top floor, he saw an old man in white robes staring at him behind the desk. Although his expression was gentle and calm, his eyes were full of indifference.
"I didn't expect you to actually come in." Servit said, seeming to be asking or stating.
Lando walked to the table, pulled up a chair, sat down, and said straight to the point: "I'm here to discuss a deal with you. Actually, I'm in a bad mood right now. I really hope this deal can be concluded smoothly."
Servit didn't expect Lando to be so arrogant after entering the magic tower, but he would not hastily judge that the other party was bluffing or arrogant just based on his performance.
"Tell me, what kind of deal does Mr. Lando want to do with our Nature Circle?" Servit asked.
Lando casually took out the remaining half of the booklet and threw it on the table. This move made Servit's eyes jump. Looking at the top page, it happened to be the follow-up to the half of the book he had just read.
.
Servit did not speak, nor did he touch his favorite thing on the table, but continued to stare at Lando.
Lando smiled slightly and said something that made Servit unable to hold his expression: "I hope the Ring of Nature can work for me."
When Servit heard this, his color suddenly changed.
"Mr. Lando, what do you mean by this? Are you entertaining me?"
Oh ho?!~ You can't hold back this and don't have an attack? You have good qi-raising skills!
"That's what it means literally." Lando repeated again.
Servit's face was already gloomy at this time, and Lando could clearly feel that the power of the magic tower began to increase rapidly.
"Since Mr. Lando is here to entertain me, there is nothing to talk about." After saying this, Servit did not immediately activate the magic tower to launch an attack, nor did he mean to see off the guests, but began to slowly apply pressure.
"Don't you want to hear the conditions?" Lando said leisurely.
Servit said nothing and looked at Lando expressionlessly.
Tsk, have you played before?
"Okay, don't be angry yet. The entire booklet I gave you is one-fifth of the content of rune magic. As long as the Ring of Nature agrees to work for me for five years, I will give you the remaining one-fifth every year, and
You say you are working for me, but in fact you don't have to obey my orders all the time. You just need to help me complete the tasks when I give them. I will naturally give you benefits if you succeed, and you will not be punished if you fail. Of course, the premise is that you have to be careful.
"
After Lando finished speaking to himself, he saw that Servit's face was getting darker and darker.
In fact, after seeing the situation in the Magic Tower, Lando knew that the other party probably did not want to negotiate peacefully, but was planning to force him to stay.
The only thing that surprised Lando was that Servit, perhaps because he was afraid of his strength, in order to protect others in the Ring of Nature from possible battles, deliberately asked everyone in the tower to get out, and also moved the entire tower.
Blockade, want to catch a turtle in a jar?!
Lando looked at Servit with a dark face, feeling that the more he looked at him, the more he looked like a large turtle!
Servit suddenly lost his anger and said: "Actually, it is not impossible to let the Ring of Nature work for Mr. Lando, but the specific conditions need to be discussed carefully."
Lando:?!
What kind of confusing operation is this? Aren’t you all ready to do it?!
Servit suddenly changed the topic and continued: "But if you want us to work for you, just paying us is not enough. After all, we are a famous spellcasting organization..."
Lando vaguely guessed what Servit meant and secretly called him "Old Fox."
"So, Mr. Lando must at least show corresponding strength, don't you think so?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the magic tower immediately began to operate at full capacity. Various preset seals, confinement, and binding magics flashed through one after another and fell on Lando. At the same time, various protective magics also rushed toward Servit.
No matter which world we are in, language is an art.
If Lando was weak and was captured directly, there would naturally be nothing to say. But if his strength was incredible and his methods were astonishing, Servit could continue what he had just said and not directly seal the relationship.
Even if I really want to work for Lando in the end, haven't I said before that we can discuss the specific conditions?
"Pa!~"
A crisp snap of fingers sounded, and all the magical flashes in the sky disappeared. Lando and Servit appeared on an endless prairie, with a gentle breeze blowing, bringing with it a natural freshness. The clouds in the sky were thick, but the world was extremely bright.
There seemed to be some kind of behemoth moving through the clouds in the distant sky. A not-too-tall magic tower stood in the center of the grassland, but the energy fluctuations transmitted from it made Servit frightened.
Servit's face was stiff. The sudden scene in front of him shocked him and he couldn't think for a moment. He didn't understand why he was in the study room of the Ring of Nature Tower just a moment ago and then came to this strange place the next moment.
Secret space? World fragments? Or some kind of illusion?!
Lando waved, and tables and chairs appeared out of thin air on the ground.
"I think you don't want to enter my magic tower, so let's talk here." Lando smiled.
Serweite sat dumbly on the chair, holding a cup of tea with a strong aroma, and felt that everything was like a dream.
PS: I have something to do during the day, so it’s a bit late today, and there is another chapter in the middle of the night.
