Chapter 86: The Arcane Priory (V)
The meeting ended with the support of the "righteous men" represented by Cassius.
"Ember" and "Grey Eagle" had a cordial and friendly conversation. The two sides fully exchanged views and enhanced mutual understanding. Lord "Ember" expressed serious concern for the safety of the people of North Wind Castle and was willing to provide humanitarian assistance to the best of his ability. They also agreed to launch relevant activities at the second Arcane Hermitage in a few months.
The spellcasters left one after another, some using some teleportation props, some walking, or some having prepared transportation in advance - for example, the floating horse and the floating horseshoe were not sold.
Stratford is one of the most prosperous cities in Anzeta and the capital of the Principality of Bosk. Naturally, it is bustling with people and traffic, and even some non-human races occasionally appear on the streets.
And those spellcasters did not attract people's attention. They quickly blended into the crowd and disappeared.
After leaving the range of the "Trafranallo Mansion Technique", Cassius did not leave immediately, but waited quietly in the alleys of the city.
"Three, two, one."
He counted silently.
The space in front of Cassius suddenly twisted, and a space crack appeared in front of him.
First, the slender white legs appeared, followed by the body wrapped in a silver-white skirt.
The slit of the skirt was very high, reaching all the way to the top of the thigh, and one could even vaguely see the magical tattoo on the smooth skin.
Seeing the expected visitor, Cassius smiled politely:
"Long time no see, Miss Fanxing."
Olivia asked in confusion: "I just saw him."
Cassius still smiled and turned on the bard mode: "There is a poem in my hometown that goes, 'One day without seeing you feels like three years have passed. Your beauty makes me ..."
Olivia's cheeks suddenly felt slightly hot when she heard the compliment, but she quickly came to her senses and interrupted:
"Lord Ember, please don't use these poems to distract me. I didn't come to you to listen to your sweet talk. How did you find out my identity?"
Cassius pretended to be confused: "What identity do you mean?"
"I mean the identity of the Silver Dragon."
Her tone was a little bit gritted, but she still did not lose her basic manners.
Cassius then replied with a sudden realization:
"So you mean Silver Dragon's identity..."
"this is very simple."
"Who doesn't know the most outstanding youngster of the Myhrvold clan, Olivia, known as the 'Silver Star'?"
"That person was able to release the 'Crown of Stars' at a young age and crush a conspiracy of the Cult of the Dragon alone."
His tone paused.
Olivia's pretty face suddenly showed surprise. She thought there was something wrong with her transformation spell, but she didn't expect that the other party knew her so well. Not only did he know her real name and clan, but he could even tell her deeds.
Cassius continued, "Besides, your temperament and way of speaking are too much like a young silver dragon who has not experienced much of the world. You are not good at hiding your thoughts."
"who are you?"
"How do you know this?"
Olivia kept asking questions.
Cassius replied slowly, "I have no obligation to answer you, Miss Olivia. You only need to know that my code name is 'Ember'."
He changed the subject, with a hint of teasing in his expression.
"Besides...excuse me for being blunt, I may not be as good as you in terms of magic, but I am much better than you in disguising myself."
"You——" Olivia bit her silver teeth lightly.
She soon realized that the other party was right, and that members of the Arcane Hermitage were not obliged to reveal their true identities. But the feeling of being led by the nose made her feel depressed and unable to express herself.
Cassius smiled and said, "Miss Olivia, see you at the next Arcane Hermitage."
After saying this, he gently stroked the pendant on his chest, opened the dimensional door, and stepped into the space crack with the "Iron Golem" behind him.
"wait……"
Olivia stood there, stamping her feet in anger, her face slightly flushed, and could only watch the space crack slowly close.
But soon, she also discovered some subtle problems, such as the golden scales faintly emerging on the back of the "ember"'s neck before leaving.
She said to herself with some complacency:
"You're not that good at pretending..."
"At least your Transfiguration is full of loopholes in my opinion, Ember, or rather, Lord Golden Dragon."
She combined the previous mention of the golden dragon and the silver dragon by Yu Huo when refuting the "Black Hawk", their irreconcilable attitude when facing evil forces, and the golden scales that were "accidentally" revealed just now.
The silver dragon wizard naturally thought that she had discovered the true identity of Lord "Ember" - a pure gold dragon.
She murmured softly:
"An arrogant, conceited smart-aleck."
"I will definitely know your name."
"Hmph... I'm going to ask my grandfather. There shouldn't be many golden dragons in Anzeta. They don't like the environment here."
The silver dragon wizard didn't have a very good impression of the gold dragons. In her memory, as the strongest naturally born metal dragons, these gold dragons always looked down on others, tried to be the leaders of everything, and often "exercised justice" on their own initiative.
Now, Olivia's stereotype of Jinlong has deepened, and he has added negative labels such as "smartass" and "frivolous".
However, Olivia didn't know that everything she saw was just what Cassius wanted her to see.
……
Cassius stepped out of the dimensional gate and returned to his warm cave. He couldn't wait to free himself from the restraints and resumed the form of a red dragon.
And Trump followed closely behind, transforming back into a huge dragon-veined ogre.
Cassius couldn't help but exhale a breath of hot sulfur-smelling air:
"This silver dragon is quite easy to deceive. It seems that her high intelligence is all used in studying spells."
"See if you can trick her Crown of Stars out of her."
It is indeed more comfortable to deal with the good camp. Although conflicts of interest are still inevitable, at least the other party's behavior will not be deliberately calculated.
Trump happily took out the book "Alchemy Outline" from his dimensional bag.
"Master, this is a good thing! Those humans really don't know the value of things. We have made a lot of money."
This book can not only be used as a spell book for several spells, but also as a magical tool that can assist in the synchronization of magic power.
Cassius said, "Since you have spent the gold coins, then you should learn these spells. I am very interested in the speed-up spell. Please demonstrate it to me as soon as possible."
Trump quickly said, "Yes, Master."
Warlocks can learn spells, but they cannot learn through the runes on spell scrolls. Instead, they rely more on feeling how the spell works and then releasing it based on intuition.
For players, the probability of successful learning is very small.
But at least Cassius has learned the "Wall of Fire" spell through Trump's repeated demonstrations. After all, he is naturally suitable for this kind of fire-shaping spell.
