"I don't need your help, I just hope you can remain neutral when necessary." Mephistis smiled.
Shadowan didn't look relaxed: "When necessary? Including when you kill all the Eyes of Mystery?"
"I don't think the Tower of Pentagram has developed to that level yet." Mephisetis said bluntly: "And it's really at the end of its rope. Bookworm, how many die-hard fans do you think the Eye of Mystery still has?"
Shadovan didn't answer, just lowered his head and played with the golden tube that tied his beard. Mephisetis looked at the constructs that were diligently going back and forth in the distance and asked:
"I really want to know what kind of organization Mikosi wanted to establish when he founded the Eye of Arcana? An academic school that explores the mysteries of magic? Or a utilitarian group that uses arcana to achieve dominance? Or even put arcana on the altar?
sect?"
"A dead man cannot answer your question." Chateauvan said, "You just want to ask about my attitude."
Mephisetis said: "You, Heseken, and Mikosi are all people who have survived the undead disaster. You know very well that magical power should not be overindulged, nor should it be misunderstood as bluffing.
Children's tricks.
As the heir to the Secret Hall, you provided Mikosi and the others with the richest collection of books on the Garad continent. At least you felt that magic needs to be spread to gain recognition, rather than being accompanied by moldy and moth-infested books in the dark.
It’s slowly decaying in the corners.”
Shadovan sighed: "My father, grandfather, grandfather's grandfather... more than ten generations have collected countless books, preserving knowledge as much as possible in the barbarity, chaos and war. But after seeing the disaster of the undead, let
I understand that it is impossible to change chaos and barbarism by merely preserving knowledge and collecting books. Nor can the power of knowledge be unleashed by just relying on the inheritance of one family."
Mephisetis asked: "It seems that you prefer the Eye of Mystery to focus on the research and dissemination of magic scholarship?"
"I know what you want to say." Shadowan stroked his beard: "When an organization develops to a certain scale, it will inevitably have various complex interest relationships. One of the reasons why Nazarui can preside over the Eye of Mystery is that
He made many magic item production methods universal, allowing the imperial army to obtain the support of various magic equipment, making it easier to conquer cities and territories, and expand territory."
"It also embeds the Eye of Mystery deeply into the interests of the empire." Mephistis said.
Shadovan said: "Even if Mikosi is still here, can he avoid this kind of thing? Mikosi is just summarizing and improving the experience of his predecessors. The improvement of the production of magic items is destined to make mages in order to
Rushing around to obtain magic raw materials... but psychic powers are convenient. As long as you dare to think, there is nothing you can't do."
"Really? Can you tell me what good things the 'Arcane Catalog' has dug up at the ruins of the Kingdom of Esdra?" Mephisetis asked.
Shadowan turned around and said: "'Missile Queen', isn't this space you constructed based on psychic powers? It uses the method of psychic erosion of reality to project it into a miniature dimension embedded in the main material plane. In this
In space, you can almost create something out of nothing, and you can attack outsiders at will, but others can't hit you at all, because you are not here at all."
Mephisetis clapped softly: "You are indeed an old bookworm, but this is not something made out of nothing, and the cakes you eat are not fake either."
"With the 'Psychic Duke' here, why would the 'Missile Queen' come to me to inquire about the skills of psychic powers? I guess I don't know as much as you do." Shadowan looked helpless.
Mephisetis put away her smile: "What I want to know is not psychic powers, but the history of the Kingdom of Astra."
Chateauvan raised his hand and said: "How much do you think I can understand about this situation? It is not unusual at all for history to be completely wiped out once it dies and is buried."
"Really? Then why were you able to find the capital of the Kingdom of Astra so accurately?" Mephisetis asked.
Shadowan's expression calmed down, and after a moment of silence he asked: "Why do you say this is the capital of the Kingdom of Astra?"
"A friend told me that he stole most of my private wine cellar before leaving," Mephisitis said.
Shadovan said: "It seems that your friend has a close relationship with the half-giant."
"Who knows?" Mephisetis asked: "Is it possible, old bookworm, that you have also visited the star realm to visit those psychics?"
"I visited, but the information was not obtained from them." Shadovan did not hide anything: "In the dark area below the Dolanta Wasteland, there is a large group of spider people breeding and living. I learned that their ancestors were enslaved by half-giants.
A race that also possesses psychic powers, they fled to the east after the destruction of the Astra Kingdom."
The Doranta Wasteland is located to the east of the ruins of the Kingdom of Astra. From the Great Londinium Empire to the east, there are almost no passable land routes there. They are blocked by the Kingdom of Astra and the steep terrain. Moreover, the wasteland is dry and barren, and the vegetation is
It is sparse and there are not many large-scale biological activities. On the southern coast of the wasteland, there is a string of small city-states, mainly halflings, who maintain business relationships with the chiefs of the Nahasa Wasteland.
Further east of the Dolanta Wasteland is the towering Sky Ridge Plateau, which is the easternmost area of the Old World. It is also uninhabited. Only the wetland rainforest in the southern part of the plateau has become the habitat of aquatic monsters. It has been mysteriously revealed before.
The Eye occupies it as an advance base to break through the foggy sea and find the elven kingdom.
"How much do the spider-men know about the history of the Kingdom of Esdrael?" Mephisetis asked.
"Actually, there are not as many as I expected." Shadowan spread out his hands: "Although these guys are extremely intelligent, any adult spider man can easily learn the five-ring arcana with proper training, but this race has no writing! All of them
History is all remembered through telepathy. But they also had wars underground, causing a lot of historical heritage to be lost."
"At least you found out the location of the capital of the Kingdom of Astra," Mephisetis said.
Shadowan shook his head and smiled: "The ancestors of the spider people had to spin silk and weave clothes for the half-giants free of charge. They lived in the capital of the kingdom and worked day and night. Instead, they became an indelible memory of the tribe. It is good to understand this.
Not surprising.
Next time I have a chance, I'll give you a pair of shoes made from spider silk. In addition to having a constant 'spider walking' effect, you can also walk freely on 'grease' and 'spider web'. You don't need it, either.
Can it be given to students?"
"Then I'll say thank you first." Mephisetis smiled and said, "But I hope to know more about the history of the Kingdom of Astra."
"Just because I read a lot doesn't mean that I will make up stuff I know nothing about." Shadowan thought for a while and said, "But there is one thing I can probably be sure of. In ancient times, half-giants raised psychic barriers.
, Isolating the Kingdom of Astra is probably not to avoid the war between giants and dragons."
"What's that for?"
Shadovan asked in return: "Have you ever thought that the entire Kingdom of Astra is just a prison?"
…
In the early morning, Xuan Weizi got off the carriage and returned to the door of "Twilight Fairy". After a whole night of communication, the Changqing Chamber of Commerce reached a series of cooperation in trade and raw material supply with several chambers of commerce. The Evergreen Chamber of Commerce engaged in
It has become the largest drug and armor manufacturer in the New World. With this momentum, more alchemists and healers will join the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce and become official doctors.
Of course, the upper-class celebrities attending the banquet can also maintain their business, which can provide a stable source of tax revenue to Prince Auger. Only in this way can they avoid the consequences of having their homes immediately confiscated.
As a result, the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce established a firm foothold in New Camelot City, and its industry expanded greatly; Prince Auger was able to successfully tame these wealthy aristocrats and make them pay taxes obediently. Both parties got the best of both worlds, and it was an opportunity for cooperation.
Xuan Weizi knew that this was just paving the way for what would happen later. After he had negotiated the business, the "Missile Queen" would send official personnel to establish the country's borders with the Russian-Georgian prince. At that time, the Russian-Georgian prince would officially establish the country and claim the title of king.
Already.
In fact, despite Xuan Weizi's majesty of smashing a meteorite with one sword, unless he advances in alchemy cultivation in the future, it will be difficult for him to have the opportunity to use such powerful magic. And in the future, he will have to face the counterattack of the Eye of Mystery and the Empire.
Maybe with just a few powerful people supporting the scene, it will definitely be a large-scale all-out war.
Compared with the new country that the Russian-Georgian prince is about to establish, the Mutual Protection Alliance is much looser and more fragile internally. Even the army does not have the imperial army led by Marshal Cavendish like others.
Xuan Weizi understood this, so he tried to transform the Mutual Protection Alliance and integrate the loose alliance through more efficient transportation capabilities so that it could have a foothold in the future chaotic situation.
"Slow down, slow down... Ouch, my waist..."
At this time, Theus was heard groaning in pain. He was helped out of the carriage by Taylor, his face pale and he rubbed his waist.
"I told you, I'll leave all the women to you." Xuan Weizi smiled and said, "You drank a bottle of potion before entering the room. Is it like this?"
Theus gasped and said: "Teacher, you don't know that the wives and daughters of those nobles and rich people are all very hungry and thirsty, and they have a lot of fun. Until the second half of the night, they are comparing who can help me get it out faster.
."
Xuan Weizi had a strange expression: "You...do it every time?"
"Yes, that's right, is there any problem?" Theus couldn't hide his proud smile: "Hey, these noble ladies, the scene of wealthy ladies standing in a row with their buttocks raised, is really the first time I've seen it. Only then did I understand,
Why do those high-ranking mages always have a bunch of illegitimate children, probably born from illicit affairs with other people’s wives, just like Master Nelum!"
Xuan Weizi asked: "You didn't stop all night. Is it because you wanted those women to be pregnant with your children?"
"They also know very well that if I make them pregnant, their status will also rise." Theus said: "And it was their husbands and fathers who asked them to do this in order to preserve the family and industry."
"Your circle is really chaotic." Xuan Weizi said.
Theus said with a lewd smile: "Teacher, these vulgar fans are certainly not worthy of you. Only Mrs. Palina is qualified."
While everyone was talking, there was a faint light in the sky. Looking up, the Storm Palace, which was originally hidden in the dark night, was actually shrouded in an ambiguous pink color. The closed flower buds slowly bloomed, and the lotus platform in the sky was in full bloom.
The jade liquid from the roots filled the palace, and spring light filled the sky for a moment.
Although there is no exciting sound coming from the sky, people with keen senses can vaguely detect the vitality of the rhythmic pulsation, playing a great harmonious movement of life collision, climbing to the climax on the lotus platform!
As the morning sun pierces the night and radiates light from the skyline, a powerful spring spurts straight into the sky from the lotus platform. Under the refraction of the sun, a magnificent rainbow appears, surrounding the lotus platform for a long time, which is very magical.
"Teacher, could this be you testing a new spell?" Theus asked in a low voice: "It's just that this movement doesn't seem quite right."
"This is routine maintenance." Xuan Weizi said expressionlessly: "Okay, you go and rest first, Moyesa will arrange a room for you."
Taylor asked: "Teacher, where are you going?"
"Go find your sister. She is still responsible for taking care of the poor." Xuan Weizi said, "But don't make it public. I don't want everyone to know about your sister's existence."
Taylor nodded heavily: "I understand."
…
Palina was lying on the hazy cloud platform, panting with sweat all over her body. She licked the corners of her lips, then lowered her head and looked into her arms. It was a white-haired boy who was a head shorter than herself, with an extremely handsome face.
With a cold look on his face, Parina became more maternal, hugged him tightly, and started rubbing and stroking him.
"Ah~ good boy, good boy, are you cold? Do you want sister to buy you new clothes?" Parina couldn't help but ask.
Xuan Weizi struggled a little, and his face emerged from between a pair of warm and white balls of flesh: "Have you had enough?"
Palina showed a hungry smile and pinched Xuan Weizi's cheek gently: "I like your look of looking down on people, but you still have the appearance of a young boy. If you appear on the streets of Londinium City,
He will definitely be abducted by those ladies, imprisoned in the bedroom, and played and exploited day and night!"
"Is it that exaggerated?" Xuan Weizi murmured in his heart. Palina came to the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace yesterday evening. When she saw her body and appearance shrunk, her desire became even more intense. The two of them fought fiercely on the clouds all night long.
The situation is indeed as the incarnation said, and Palina really wants to swallow herself. Fortunately, Xuan Weizi is only temporarily unable to use magic power, and the physical furnace that has achieved the semi-immortal realm has extraordinary strength and vitality, even if its body has shrunk.
Well, the whip-wielding maiden's magical method of rejuvenation is actually very interesting.
Moreover, the legendary warlock with the blood of goblins is indeed an excellent dual cultivation cauldron. As the two people's souls and bodies intertwined, Xuan Weizi simply taught him the "Supreme Yoga Secret Method of Double Luck of Joy and Space" that he had seen by chance in his previous life.
Palina.
On this night, I am King Ming, and you are the Mother Buddha; I have the Vajra, and you have the Lotus Palace; the Muladhara chakra is in harmony with the great concentration, and I contemplate the bliss of the twin bodies from the top.
The lotus blooming in the sky is the concubine Ming's gift, and the wish-fulfilling pestle enters the palace.
