Chapter 175 The True Lord of Magtan [Subscribe]
The scene in front of him almost made Baron Besos drop his jaw.
It was the first time he saw the famous Angela Lord in Bang City act so humble.
On weekdays, Angela would just nod when she saw him.
As the regional head of the Magic Association, Angela was a very arrogant guy.
Not only did she have a dual-system casting talent and a certified title of a third-level senior mage, she was also a quasi-fourth-level archmage!
This allowed Angela to act without looking at the baron's face in the area of Magtan City.
On the contrary, Baron Besos needed Angela in many aspects.
After all, more than 80% of the local spellcasters in the city were members of the Magic Association.
If you want to learn the magic of the corresponding element system, you have to report to the association and register.
In a sense, the Magic Association has much more control over its members than the Adventurer Guild.
It's just that the latter has an advantage in the number of members.
Because both magic element practitioners and spellcasters can register as adventurers.
However, the Adventurer's Guild cannot force any adventurer to fulfill an involuntary commission.
On the contrary, the Magic Association can forcibly summon its members.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. The Magic Association provides new spellcasters with corresponding elemental spells for learning.
In exchange, the members under its command are obliged to accept the call of the association.
For example, Chen Xuan is a complete wild way. The spells he learned are not from the corresponding magic books in the association.
Instead, they are all [Magic Crystals].
Magic books can be studied and understood repeatedly, but [Magic Crystals] are complete disposable consumables.
The purchase expenses of hundreds or thousands of crowns are also unaffordable for ordinary low-level spellcasters.
In addition, the number of [Magic Crystals] on sale in the market is small and relatively scattered, and it is not certain that you can encounter elemental magic suitable for you, so it is a real unpopular "luxury product".
Only a freak like Chen Xuan who doesn't care about spending and has mastered the talent of all-element sensing can learn magic by buying [Magic Crystals] unscrupulously.
In summary, the power of the Magic Association in Magtan City cannot be underestimated.
Seeing that Anqira, who usually doesn't give him a good face, is now kneeling humbly to swear allegiance.
Baron Bezos always feels weird, but when he thinks that the person who conquered Anqira is also the master who subdues him, he feels inexplicably happy.
Chen Xuan, who accepted the allegiance, didn't have so many inner dramas as Bezos.
Because at the same time that Anqira knelt, she took the initiative to issue a slave contract.
You must know that the conclusion of a contract is two-way, not limited to the master.
For example, the first slave contract signed by Chen Xuan was initiated by the kitten girl Rebecca.
Now it is a similar situation. Anqira Lord took the initiative to request Chen Xuan to conclude a contract.
Ever since Anqira knew that Chen Xuan also had the shadow of the Rose Key hidden in his body, her attitude changed, as if she was looking for some secret.
Chen Xuan confirmed the terms and found that she had proposed a slave term of 999 years.
He was a little surprised.
But it didn't matter, the terms were just a rough framework, and his golden finger could change everything.
After leaving the soul imprint, an invisible bond appeared between the two.
This was a sign of successful contracting.
Chen Xuan didn't rush to make changes immediately [cross-border], but first winked at Baron Bezos.
The latter immediately knew what was going on when he saw this, got up and left the study, came to the door, and called the snakeman butler to go to the castle hall to call the next target.
Taking advantage of the short gap, Chen Xuan planned to find out the details of Anqira.
"Remove your hooded disguise."
"There are no outsiders here, only your master."
He gave the order without hesitation.
The hooded coat on Anqila is quite famous. It can not only completely cover her face and figure, but also cannot be torn off by external force.
So Chen Xuan knew without thinking that this hooded coat must be a high-level camouflage item.
After he gave the order, Anqila hesitated for a moment and reached out to take off the hood.
Then he began to unbutton the collar.
When the hood fell, Chen Xuan finally got a glimpse of the true face of this big mage in Bangcheng!
"Hiss!"
"So you are not an old woman!"
After the erratic shadow dissipated, a petite and cute face was revealed!
The wine-red shoulder-length hair was trimmed neatly, the skin was fair and tender, the eyebrows were delicate and small, and there was a hint of stubbornness. She looked like a young girl who had just reached adulthood.
It was not the image of an "old woman" that Chen Xuan imagined at all!
But according to Baron Bezos, Anqila Lord has lived in Magtan City for nearly twenty Naroa years, in other words, she is at least forty or fifty years old!
But she still looks young, maintaining the appearance of a girl.
There is almost no trace of the passage of time on her face, only collagen.
When the buttons of the vest were completely unbuttoned, what appeared in front of Chen Xuan was a slender and delicate body.
The robe made by special weaving technology was emitting a hazy light.
There were runes representing the two magical elements of thunder and fire on the robe.
"Master!"
After removing the disguise, Anqila's voice changed a lot.
It turned out that her voice was old and hoarse like an old woman, but now it has returned to its clear state.
This contrast in image surprised Chen Xuan.
He couldn't help but ask: "How old are you this year?"
Unexpectedly, this question made Ahn'Qiraj frown slightly.
After pondering for a moment, she sighed leisurely.
"You are so rude..."
"This question is rude to any woman."
At this point, she paused briefly before adding.
"I am twenty-two years old this year. In the year of my coming-of-age ceremony, I drank from the Fountain of Youth by chance."
"The magical spring water not only gave me a lifespan comparable to that of an immortal species, but also kept my appearance the same as the moment I drank the spring water."
Ahn'Qiraj explained softly. This topic was a little embarrassing, but it eased the cold atmosphere between the two.
Chen Xuan looked stunned and nodded slightly.
"You actually drank from the Fountain of Youth?"
He asked pretending to be surprised, hiding his embarrassment that he didn't know what the Fountain of Youth was.
"Yes, I met the legendary elves and fairies then."
I have to say that Ahn'Qiraj's claims are getting more and more bizarre, and even elves and fairies have come out.
This does not seem to be the style that Magtan City, a "backwater", should have.
Although Chen Xuan felt that her experience was a bit outrageous, the authenticity should still be guaranteed.
First of all, under the restrictions of the contract, Ahn'Qiraj cannot lie, otherwise he will suffer the pain of soul punishment.
But Ahn'Qiraj's expression was normal and it didn't look like his soul was being sanctioned.
The second thing is that when she talked about the Fountain of Youth, her eyes did not dodge, but she was a little proud.
It's an opportunity she's clearly proud of.
Instead of continuing to ask about the Fountain of Youth and the elves and fairies, Chen Xuan prepared to figure it out slowly to avoid exposing the fact that he was a novice.
In order not to waste time, he was going to get straight to the point.
"Well...you are indeed a lucky man."
"Then it's time to talk about Qiangwei."
Chen Xuan said it more implicitly, but Ahn'Qiraj immediately understood what he wanted to ask when he heard the word "rose".
"The rose originated from the eclipse of the moon and the setting of the stars ten Naloya years ago."
"And I just happened to be the chosen one."
Ahn'Qiraj's description was relatively brief. When both parties talked about this topic, they both became cautious, for fear of violating some taboos.
Chen Xuan remained silent, just nodded.
Lunar eclipses and star sets are both easy to understand.
The former represents the changes in the moon phases, and the latter refers to shooting stars!
And Chen Xuan obtained the Rose Key phantom precisely because he saw the meteor fall!
The same questions were only superficial, and Chen Xuan then asked some other less sensitive topics.
Get a general understanding of Ahn'Qiraj's talent, training process, and strength!
She possesses excellent elemental sensing talents of thunder and fire, as well as the excellent talent of spiritual meditation.
The training period is not too short, but it has not been able to break through to the fourth level.
There are several reasons.
The first is because dual-system talent training will double the difficulty of the stage bottleneck.
The second reason is because she has spent nearly half of her time investigating the Rose Key over the years.
The combination of the two resulted in her delay in breaking through.
After all, the practice of spiritual meditation is more difficult and profound than the practice of magic.
If there are thresholds, there are bottlenecks; if there are bottlenecks, there are thresholds.
Therefore, it seems to be a matter of course that the intimidation and lethality of spell casters on the battlefield is much higher than that of magic practitioners of the same level.
It is worth mentioning that Ahn'Qiraj personally destroyed the catacombs, but failed to discover and fuse the Rose Key fragments. This also indirectly proved that the Rose Key phantom she had previously obtained was inferior in energy level and specifications. They are far inferior to the one on Chen's body.
After a few minutes of conversation, Chen Xuan basically understood the history of Ahn'Qiraj.
When Baron Bezos knocked on the study door, Ahn'Qiraj had already put on the covering robe again.
Ahn'Qiraj and Chen Xuan held the battle together, and Baron Bezos sat back at the head of the desk.
Not long after, the Snake Butler brought Chen Xuan’s second target to be subdued——
——Virginio Wuho, President of the Magtan City Adventurers Association.
It is tall, has a mustache, and wears a decent turtleneck coat. It is a strong tauren from the Wuho Clan in the Red Gobi!
The reason why Chen Xuan chose it as the second target of intimidation was mainly to master the two major associations, the Magic Association and the Adventurer's Guild, as soon as possible.
Secondly, Virginio Wuho's strength is also very good. He is a veteran silver-level powerhouse. He has a level of magic cultivation that is close to the peak of the silver level. Coupled with the strong physical talent of the tauren, he is considered to be the first-class magic cultivation in the city. Master!
Moreover, it also has the intelligence resources of the Adventurer's Guild in its hands, and can call and consult most of the commissioned files and investigation records.
As long as Ahn'Qiraj and Virginio are captured, it is equivalent to capturing one-third of the unofficial forces in Magatan City, and the underworld forces are the other one-third.
As for the last third, they are the civilians and scattered people in the city, as well as the outside adventurers, spellcasters, mercenaries and traveling traders.
Tauren, who are rigorous and diligent by nature, will always dress themselves meticulously.
There’s even a little elegance to it.
Virginio walked into the study with neat steps.
Before he could salute Baron Bezos, he was subdued by Ahn'Qiraj and Chen Xuan who suddenly attacked.
This guy was full of brute force, and his skin was thick.
At first, he actually used brute force to break through the [Lightning Cage] laid by Ahn'Qiraj.
He took advantage of the situation and launched the clan secret technique, charging with black hooves, and rushed towards Ahn'Qiraj with red light all over his body.
He showed the strength of a silver-level peak strongman.
When it exerted its strength, even the castle protected by magic and runes was shaking slightly.
The effect was similar to the commercial housing in Blue Star, where someone was using a large electric pickaxe of type 95 or 120 upstairs.
In terms of battlefield destructive power alone, Ahn'Qiraj is definitely stronger, but there is a detail involved here.
That is the disadvantage that spellcasters are generally weak in close combat.
Especially in a relatively small and cramped environment like a study, this disadvantage is completely exposed.
If there is cover and space for maneuvering on the battlefield, then Ahn'Qiraj will definitely beat Virginio, but it is hard to say who will win indoors.
But it doesn't matter. Ahn'Qiraj dares to take action because of Chen Xuan who masters the law of time.
All beings are equal under [Time Stops]!
Under such circumstances, the two of them took some effort to deal with Virginio Wuti in a few minutes and successfully concluded a slave contract that was ostensibly for three years!
After dealing with these two difficult guys, the rest of the things will be easy.
With the help of the Minotaur Virginio and Ahn'Qiraj, Chen Xuan only took about a quarter of a water clock to deal with all the remaining brains in Bang City.
Including the chief officer of the garrison and the captain of the light cavalry battalion, Norman Weiner.
At this point, Chen Xuan officially took control of the entire giant city of Magtan from the surface!
It was still a top-down and thorough control!
Among the civilians, there are two major black street forces, the Broken Finger Gang and the Coolie Mule, and at the municipal level, the entire team and the backbone of the garrison are intimidated!
The White Rose Caravan’s spies are distributed among the peddlers.
In the future, even the adventurers and spellcasters in the city will be used by Chen Xuan!
He is the real Lord of Magtan!
When he completed the contract mission, the time had come to the first water clock of the day.
Outside, there was still no light from the sun and the moon.
The black clouds, black light, and the void transmission channel that was taking shape made Magtan City look like a black domain.
The medium-sized void transmission channel in the sky has become more and more solid.
However, according to the comparison of the records in the ancient books and actual observations, it will take at least ten to twelve water clocks for this channel to be completely constructed.
In addition, after the channel is constructed, it will take time for the monsters to descend, deploy, and assemble.
Therefore, Chen Xuan still has some time to prepare!
…
There are too many people reading quantum. The roar of the dragon is described from the author's third-person perspective. What does the protagonist know?
It's just a roar from a hero. He is not a monster scientist. He knows it is a dragon roar from dozens of kilometers away. I really hate Di Renjie from the third-person perspective. Otherwise, I will write fancy riddlers in the future?
