Chapter 1298 Arcane Core Khadgar
Khadgar was supposed to be the third cultivator who could destroy the world.
Historically, he would single-handedly blow up bridges, block dams, and make the Iron Tribe who had escaped run away from the idiot Roar go crazy.
Looking at Khadgar's still young, translucent ectoplasmic face due to his early death, Duke felt a little guilty in his heart.
But...this is life!
Without Duke, perhaps he would have been as awesome and coaxing as he was in history. Now that Duke has taken over his destiny and done better than him, Khadgar can only do this.
It's not that Duke's attack on the demigod level requires an arcane elemental user, it is estimated that Khadgar can still only be a poor earthbound spirit in Karazhan.
Managing the books and fighting the occasional intruders, this is Khadgar's eternal life.
The translucent ectoplasm body, wearing real cloth armor equipment, does look a bit inconsistent. Soon these won't be a problem.
Gently putting down the magic weapon in his hand, Khadgar put his hands on the ground and performed a very standard five-body prostrating salute: "Your Excellency, the great Archmage - my lord Duke Marcus! Your loyal servant Khadgar Come and see me.”
The once young mage now had indescribable excitement in his voice.
He had been dead for so long that he almost forgot what it was like to be a living person.
This does not mean that he does not long for resurrection, not as a dirty undead form, but as a kind of life, truly re-existing in the world, just like his former master Medivh.
Resurrection is the prerogative of the gods!
You have to at least step into the realm of demigods to be qualified to talk about this issue.
Now before him, there is such an opportunity to become Duke's elemental messenger, just like Thaddeus and Alonsus, become an elemental creature!
Sitting on the throne, listening to Khadgar's sincere greetings, Duke also felt a strange trance in his heart, always feeling that he and Khadgar had turned around.
If Khadgar had not died, or if he, Duke, was more capable and figured out a set of training methods specifically for ghosts more than 20 years ago, would Khadgar have been better off?
All right! There's no point in assuming anything.
Duke sighed softly.
Since this is already the case in this life, he has nothing to be ashamed of.
Cursing himself in his mind, "I have never seen such a shameless person, well, I saw it today." After that, Duke straightened his face and raised his chin slightly: "Khadgar! In the form of a heroic spirit, you serve me How old am I?”
Khadgar lowered his head deeply: "It's been 22 years, my lord! During these years, I have been doing my best to fulfill my duties as a servant and help you protect Karazhan."
Duke raised his right hand, and a pair of arcane palms appeared out of thin air, helping Khadgar up.
Kadjia stood up, still maintaining a slightly bowed posture.
"Very good! I see your loyalty. I have always felt sorry for your misfortune." Duke cleared his throat and continued: "I always believe that the reason why people are noble is because they have the ability to seek knowledge. Desire, desire to explore, and the courage to fight against fate! Tell me, Khadgar, are you willing to be your ghost mage forever?"
Khadgar took a deep breath, although this movement meant nothing to a ghost: "If this is your will, my lord, I will accept it."
Duke raised the corner of his mouth. Unknowingly, Khadgar had learned so many speaking skills from his bones. Back then, he was still a fool and said...
Perhaps, this is growth! Age and circumstances will always smooth out the edges.
"I now have a better and more dangerous option for you - you can choose to become my arcane elemental messenger and control the power of the arcane field for me that I have no time to take into account! But the price is that from what you promised From now on, you will become a special life form attached to me. If I fall, or if I fail to attack the demigod realm, you will join me - Soul! Fly! Soul! Disintegrate! Having said this, you understand?"
Facing Duke's question, Khadgar nodded again and solemnly said: "It's very clear!"
Yes, if he had maintained his status quo, Duke would definitely have let him continue to be the administrator of Karazhan. But so what? Since Duke is already immortal, unless Duke dies in battle, waiting for the next Lord of Karazhan is simply a long way off.
If Khadgar can't even seize such an opportunity and doesn't have the courage, how can he rise in the future?
Without even half a second of hesitation, Khadgar raised his head and said loudly: "If this is the choice you give me, my lord, then I will choose to give it my all. I hope to advance to a higher and stronger life form, and at the same time I can help you, my lord!"
A smile broke out on Duke's face: "Very good! This is the Khadgar I know, the one who never lacks wisdom and has the courage to challenge himself!"
Duke stood up and slowly stepped down the stairs made of the purest arcane energy. He raised his right hand and pointed his palm towards Khadgar's forehead.
"Khadgar, what I am about to do is different from the other elemental messengers. You also know. Arcane is the most basic and important core of the three lines of magic. So I will transform your soul and make you The new form is completely connected to my magic circuit. Your soul is an extension of my magic circuit! And you will also become the core commander of other elemental users. I am not afraid to tell you, this process will be quite painful!"
In a sense, to use an inaccurate analogy, if Duke is an independent and complete smartphone, then the ordinary Elemental Messenger will most likely become the equivalent of a power bank. They will communicate with the elemental world for Duke, absorbing and filtering more elemental power for Duke to spend.
However, Khadgar will become Duke's auxiliary chip and memory, plus a special existence that combines several major functions of the power bank. He can use magic to attack enemies for Duke, and he is also like a command tower.
Duke will even hand over part of the system elves' computing power to Khadgar. Because recently, the System Elf has finally reached its limit. When calculating the trajectory of the wreckage of the void battleship in the atmosphere, Duke felt a sense of fatigue...
Faced with Duke's size, Khadgar responded resolutely: "I can bear it!"
Indeed, only a being with astonishing talent like Khadgar can withstand this pressure.
"Then let's get started!" Duke's palm gently pressed against Khadgar's soul forehead.
When he felt a slight coldness in his palm, a large amount of magical information began to impact Khadgar's sea of consciousness!
"Ugh!" Khadgar groaned on the spot.
