Chapter 154 Trump's New Pendant
The dragon vein cannibal magician Trump had been waiting for a long time, and at this time he slowly flew out of the city and landed with a bang.

It can be seen that his flying skills are much more proficient than before and he can control it freely.

Rump looked at the unconscious mages greedily, his ferocious mouth almost drooling. To him and even the entire Burning Ashes Kingdom, every mage was a precious and reusable resource.

Yes, resources - the rich spell knowledge in the minds of the mages, their extremely intelligent brains, are all very useful to Trump.

Trump came to the Red Dragon, his face full of joy of harvest, and he said respectfully:
"Congratulations, Master. Your wisdom puts me to shame. You managed to catch all these rats hiding in the gutter."

Cassius nodded slightly.

"I'll leave these mages to you. Make good use of their value and make them help the Burning Nest."

"Yes, Master."

Trump grinned, and the smile on his ugly face could not be concealed at all.

Cassius noticed that Trump was inexplicably excited and became curious.

Did he eat all these mages?

So Cassius asked casually, "Rump, how did you deal with Bennett and his apprentice wizards who were captured earlier?"

Hearing this, Trump realized that the Red Dragon suspected that he was cannibalistic. After all, there had been precedents.

He quickly replied:

"Master, please rest assured that we have a complete set of procedures in the 'Tower of the Great Wisdom' and there will be no cheating."

Trump opened up and began to introduce himself in a torrent of words.

"First, we will strip them of all their magical items, and all of them will be put into the warehouse of the Burning Kingdom, which is your treasury.

"Next, we will torture them and use the Word of Truth to extract the spell knowledge and intelligence from these spellcasters."

"Finally, when they are exhausted and most vulnerable, we can cast a charm spell on them to completely break down their psychological defenses and ensure that we have complete control over them."

Cassius usually either sleeps or studies spells. He doesn't pay much attention to the specific affairs of the Burning Kingdom, and leaves all of them to his trusted subordinates.

After hearing this, he had a better understanding of Trump's operations.

"So where did they end up?"

"Those apprentice mages have basically become servants in the tower. Their lives and deaths, and even their thoughts, are in my hands. If I find any clues, I can kill them immediately. There will never be any special situations."

"As for the senior wizard Bennett from Victoria Harbor..."

Trump lowered his head and spoke with a slight hesitation, but continued speaking.

"His spellcasting ability is too strong and difficult to control. Even if he succeeds, the risk is high and he could easily become a destabilizing factor in the kingdom."

"So I made the decision to kill him and made a magical device. Master, please forgive me, I just finished testing this device and haven't had time to report it to you yet."

The Dragon Vein Ogre lifted his cloak, revealing a new pendant on his chest.

——It was a human skull, and it even had a bright red, wet, fresh brain inside it, solidified by the power of space magic. There were mithril necklaces connected on both sides, hanging on the ogre's thick neck.

Against the backdrop of Trump's huge body, the skull actually looks like a small pendant.

"." Hearing Trump's ashamed words and looking at his embarrassed expression, even Cassius was speechless for a moment.

Bennett's Wisdom

Quality: Rare

Creator: Trump
Introduction: The cannibal magician Trump had a good chat with Bennett. He admired the wisdom of this noble wizard from Victoria Harbor and regarded him as a confidant. Bennett was very lucky and thought he could be released by his "friend", but he only waited for Trump's butcher knife - Trump didn't even use the most convenient mallet because he was afraid of damaging the precious brain.

In this way, through a series of careful experiments, Trump hung the wisdom of this "confidant" around his neck forever. When the wind blows through the gap in the skull, please listen carefully, you may still hear Bennett's cry before he died: "Trump - why did you kill me?"

Effect: Intelligence +3
Proficiency: Arcana +4, Knowledge +4, Research +3
You can store the spells that Bennett learned during his lifetime in it, which is equivalent to an additional spell slot and can be used at any time, including [Wall of Force], [Immobilize Monster], [Protection from Energy Damage], etc. A maximum of four spells can be stored, and it takes a day to enter them in advance.

After browsing the information about this equipment, Cassius looked at Trump with an increasingly strange expression. This guy definitely has the potential to be a perverted boss.

"Intelligence bonus, spell storage."

"If you ignore its appearance, this is definitely a magician's outfit."

Cassius sighed in his heart.

However, this equipment has little effect on him, and his spellcasting does not rely on intelligence.

The [Bennett's Wisdom] that Trump is equipped with, which was made by himself, can increase intelligence by a terrifying 20 points. This is the pinnacle of wisdom for ordinary people. Above it are the great wizards who master advanced spells and can influence the world.

This is a leap forward, no wonder Trump is so excited.

Cassius felt Trump's mood under the pressure of blood, and he was indeed feeling guilty, nervous, and uneasy.

Thinking of this, Cassius said calmly: "In the future, if you do experiments of this level, you must report to me in advance. This will not happen again."

"Yes, Master."

Trump knelt on the ground and answered quickly.

"I'll leave these mages to you. Squeeze them to their full potential."

"My subordinates will definitely complete the mission!"

After finding out that Cassius was not angry and that he could get a new batch of wizards as experimental subjects, Trump was surprisingly happy.

Especially the "Grey Eagle" Schroeder. Trump has been paying attention to him since he was in the Arcane Hermitage and has long coveted his powerful spells, such as [Ice Storm].

After saying goodbye to Cassius, Trump hurried away with the mages.

Even Cassius looked at them with pity, because they were about to undergo inhuman torture. After all, the hundreds of experiments that Trump was conducting at the same time were no joke.

After losing its master controller, the already drawn [Wagner's Dragon Binding Array] remained in place, temporarily suppressed by the power of the [Kingdom Domain], quietly waiting for its next activation.

"The Lionheart Knights of the Bosque family will be arriving soon."

"Schlaude, I really want to thank you for helping me catch this big, fat fish."

Cassius thought to himself.

The Lionheart Knights are the absolute elite force of the Bosk Family. Even the Dragon Vein followers would find it difficult to deal with them when they are thrown into the battlefield. In the Battle of Trier, only seven of them caused considerable trouble to Doro. They are rated very highly as enemies within the Burning Kingdom.
