The light of a portal emerges.
Gloria glanced at Sauron tenderly, then nodded gently and said, "Come with me."
The two got up and walked into the portal. Sauron frowned slightly when entering the portal. The scene just now made him think of many things in his mind. First of all, the wizard towers of the Northland Witch Council are all connected together. This is a huge mystical formation with great power. And although Goliath is the owner of this wizard tower, the Eye of the North seems to have control over this wizard tower, and may have higher control authority than Goliath.
This can be seen from the fact that she just casually opened the teleportation array of the wizard tower!
in other words.
This Wizard Tower still belonged to the Witch Council, and it was only managed by Gloria.
And it seems that the Eye of the North has a strong ability to control the witch council, and it also has a strong prestige in Goliath's heart. As a veteran legendary witch who has been in charge of the North for hundreds of years, the status and influence of the Eye of the North are quite amazing. . If you can gain her favor, it is basically tantamount to winning over the Witch Council, which is very important for Sauron who currently lacks powerful allies. Another pirate king, Asrod, was backed by the Naga royal family. The priests of the sea were all for the church of the goddess of the sea. Sauron needed forces outside the south coast to be his allies.
And it will not affect his growth in the overseas islands!
Although it was just a trivial matter, Sauron had judged many things and thought of another reason for inviting Gloria.
The Wizard's Tower of the Council of Witches.
Although this place is managed by Gloria, it is not her personal property after all.
………………
The two stepped into the teleportation array.
Sure enough, as Sauron expected, the wizard towers in the Northland are connected together, basically connected by portals. When Sauron came over. Many members of the Northland Witch Council have gathered here, all of them are good-looking women, and it is difficult to judge their age from their appearance. Although there are high-level male wizards in the Northland Witch Council, all those who are eligible to enter the council are women. The status of high-level male wizards is similar to that of a guest, but they cannot touch the core of power.
Facing Sauron's arrival. The other Northland witches looked curious, but not hostile.
Many of them smiled and nodded at him and Gloria. The witches all nodded and greeted slightly after meeting. From the atmosphere, it seemed quite harmonious, and there was no feeling of fighting against each other in other organizations. This means that under the management of the Eye of the Northland, the members of the Northland Witch Council are quite united, and this unity will immediately transform into a strong fighting force once it encounters a foreign place. therefore. When Sauron saw the Eye of the North, which was looked at with respect by many witches, he couldn't help but think highly of her.
She is indeed an old legendary witch who has stood for hundreds of years.
Not only is it powerful, but the skill of ruling the council is also top-notch!
This kind of wisdom is worthy of respect, but Sauron still prefers to be awed than respected. So he will never be loved and respected by others like the Eye of the Northland. Instead, he likes to be worshiped and awed by his subordinates. It's hard to say which one is better, but it's much more difficult to win respect than to win awe. Sauron still likes simple and crude things.
"Sit down!"
The Eye of the Northland looks a little old, but in fact, it is inevitable that some aging will happen after living to her age. She stared at the other witches with white pupils. Immediately, he tapped the ground with his staff, when his eyes fell on Sauron. The Eye of the North paused for a moment, and then said: "Quiet! I know what you all want to know? I will tell you what happened right now, and let you know why the Githyanki attacked us!"
A silver-white light emerged.
A piece of blade about the size of a dagger appeared out of thin air in the palm of the Eye of the North, when the silver-white blade piece emerged. Everyone present felt a force in their hearts. Then they involuntarily showed a hint of surprise, exchanged glances with each other in secret, and everything was inseparable from two words - "artifact"!
Sauron and Gloria looked at each other.
Although neither of them spoke, they could guess the meaning in each other's eyes.
That is, everything is really for the artifact!
The artifact possesses incredible power. Although there have been many artifacts in history, very few of them actually fell into the hands of mortals. Looking at the equipment on Sauron's body, one can tell that although he has fought desperately for so long, the limit of his contact is only legendary items. For him, artifacts are out of reach, and at the same time quite deadly!
Because artifacts can be located by spells.
What is in front of him is an artifact, or a fragment of a powerful artifact. Even a fragment can make people feel the power contained in it.
And Sauron also felt a strange breath!
Seems to be from some evil god.
He was the only one who felt this way among all the people present, because everyone else showed surprise on their faces, but Sauron couldn't help but frowned, with a disturbed, disgusted and repelled expression on his expression. The artifact is naturally inextricably related to the gods, but the Gith silver sword seems to be related to not many gods, and Sauron seems to have more intersections with certain evil gods in his memory.
"That's what they came for!"
The Eye of the North looked at the other people present, then raised his hand and cast an isolating aura, and said to the others: "About 150 years ago, this thing fell into our hands, so it has been used since then. I will take care of it. There are still some pieces of such artifacts scattered in many places, but the two largest pieces are kept by us and the city of wizards respectively."
"For so many years, we have been secretly studying its secrets."
"The Silver Blade of Gith was cast in a very ancient era, and the Spirit-sucking Monster Empire is another arcane heyday that is not weaker than the Thorium era. So we have been trying to research some secrets from it, as well as the special gods it contains. Sex power. It is a pity that the progress of our research is very slow, some ancient knowledge has been lost, and we have only completed the research of one and a half subjects in the past hundred years."
The Eye of the North gestured behind him.
Immediately after seeing two older witches with the same face come out, they glanced at the other witches present who were obviously much younger, and took out two special pieces of silver-white metal.
Members of the Witch Council are elected every 50 years. If they cannot advance to Legend, they can only retire behind the scenes, and Legend Witches can continue to be re-elected.
"Look!"
The Eye of the North raised his hand to touch the silver-white metal, and then slowly said: "This is the first subject we have cracked, which is the secret of the Silver Blade of Gith. It is a deformable silver metal with a special memory. Ability, what you see with your naked eyes is a silver flowing liquid, but in fact its real side is some kind of powerful memory metal that can repair itself!"
"in the Legends."
"The high-level golems of the Arcane Empire period can repair themselves, no matter how serious the damage is, they can't be completely destroyed. And they can change their shape by themselves. Many great arcanists can transform them into a kind called [High Magic Armor] ] to protect ourselves, we have always believed that the materials of [Advanced Mana Armor] have an inseparable relationship with these astral metals!"
The Eye of the North raised his hand and waved on the silver-white metal block.
Then I saw a faint spiritual light emerge, and the silver-white metal changed its shape automatically, first it turned into a Gith silver blade, then it turned into a beheading sword, then it turned into a pair of fists, and finally It was even constructed into a toy model with a height of about 20 centimeters, which was similar to the appearance of the steel golem. This change had a strong impact on many witches present, making them all stunned in place, even Sauron was a little stunned.
So high end!
Back then, he had also come into contact with the relics left by the Arcane Empire, but this was the first time he had seen such a high-end one.
"Although we have cracked some of the secrets."
The Eye of the North glanced at the others, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then continued: "For example, its ability to change forms, the recovery ability of memory metal, and the fusion of elemental energy, etc. But we have been unable to do anything about it. If it is used in other places, at most it can only imitate the Gith Silver Blade, which is undoubtedly of little use to us."
"We are missing the most core part of knowledge."
"So this topic entered the dead zone thirty years ago, and has been sealed in the cutting-edge laboratory of the Witch Council."
There was a brief silence.
The Eye of the North glanced at Sauron, and continued: "As for the other half of the subject, it belongs to the study of divine power. The Silver Blade of Ghis once terminated three evil gods, two of them were true gods with divine stature, and one was a little stronger. Weak demigod. Therefore, there is always residual divine power on this artifact fragment, and we try to use it to decipher some of the secrets. There are many secrets in this subject that we cannot tell you. After you reach the legendary realm, you can come to me to learn new knowledge."
"Starting today, if any of you are interested in conducting research on the first topic, I will also open your access to it in the library."
"If there is no problem, everyone else will retreat."
"Gloria."
"And your friend stays, I have something to say to you."
