Chapter 86: The Arcane Hermitage (V)
The meeting ended with the support of the "Justice" represented by Cassius.
"Ember" and "Grey Eagle" had a cordial and friendly conversation. The two sides fully exchanged views and enhanced mutual understanding. His Excellency "Ember" expressed serious concern for the safety of the people of North Wind Castle and was willing to provide humanitarian assistance within his capacity. He also agreed to carry out relevant activities at the second Arcane Hermitage in a few months.
The spellcasters left one after another, either using some teleportation props, walking on foot, or preparing transportation in advance - for example, the floating horse, the floating horseshoe, was not sold.
Stravburg is one of the most prosperous cities in Anzeta and the capital of the Principality of Bosk. Naturally, there are people coming and going, and there are even some non-human races occasionally appearing 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 "Trafranallo Mansion Spell", 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, slender white legs appeared, followed by a body wrapped in a silver-white long skirt.
The skirt was split very high, reaching the root of the thigh, and one could even vaguely see the magic tattoo on the smooth skin.
Seeing the expected visitor, Cassius smiled politely:
"Long time no see, Miss Fanxing."
Olivia asked in confusion: "We just met."
Cassius still smiled and turned on the bard mode: "There is a poem in my hometown called "One day without seeing you is like three years apart. Your beauty makes me..."
Hearing the compliment, Olivia's cheeks suddenly became slightly hot, but she quickly came to her senses and interrupted:
"Lord Yuhuo, don't use these poems to divert my attention. I didn't come to you to listen to your sweet words. How did you find out my identity?"
Cassius pretended to be puzzled: "What identity do you mean?"
"I mean the identity of Silver Dragon."
Her tone was a bit gnashing, but she still did not lose the most basic manners.
Cassius then replied with a sudden realization:
"You mean the identity of the silver dragon..."
"That's very simple."
"Who doesn't know Olivia, the best of the younger generation of the Melward clan, known as the 'Silver Star'?"
"That's the one who can release the 'Crown of Stars' in her youth and crush a conspiracy of the Dragon Cult alone."
He 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 knowing her real name and clan, but even telling 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 all this?"
Olivia asked continuously and relentlessly.
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, I may not be as good as you in magic, but I am much better than you in disguising myself."
"You——"
Olivia bit her silver teeth lightly.
She soon realized that what the other party said was not wrong. The members of the Arcane Hermitage had no obligation to reveal their true identities. But this feeling of being led by the nose made her feel a sense of depression in her chest that could not be expressed.
Cassius smiled and said: "Miss Olivia, see you next time at the Arcane Hermitage."
After that, he stroked the pendant on his chest, opened the dimension door, and stepped into the space crack with the "Iron Golem" behind him.
"Wait a minute..."
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 minor problems, such as the golden scales faintly emerging from the back of the neck of the "Ember" before leaving.
She said to herself with some complacency:
"You are not that good at disguise..."
"At least your transformation is full of loopholes in my opinion, Ember, or Mr. Golden Dragon."
She combined the fact that Ember mentioned both the golden dragon and the silver dragon when refuting the "Black Hawk" before, and the irreconcilable attitude when facing evil forces, as well as the golden scales that were "accidentally" exposed just now.
The silver dragon mage naturally thought that she had discovered the true face of Mr. "Ember" - a pure golden dragon.
She muttered softly:
"Arrogant, conceited, and self-righteous guy."
"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 mage didn't have a good impression of golden dragons. In her memory, as the naturally strongest among metal dragons, these golden dragons were always arrogant, looking down on others, trying to be the leaders of everything, and often "exercising justice" on their own initiative.
And now, Olivia's stereotype of the golden dragon has deepened, and she has added negative labels such as "self-righteous" and "frivolous".
However, Olivia didn't know that everything she saw was just what Cassius wanted her to see.
...
Cassius stepped out of the dimension gate and returned to his warm cave. He couldn't wait to untie the restraints and restore the form of a red dragon.
And Rump followed closely behind, turning back into a huge dragon vein ogre.
Cassius couldn't help but exhale a breath of hot sulfur:
"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 star crown out."
It is indeed more comfortable to deal with the good camp. Although there are still conflicts of interest, the other party's behavior will at least not be deliberately calculated.
Rump was very happy to take out the [Alchemy Outline] in the dimension bag.
"Master, this is a good thing! Those humans really don't know what's good, we've made a fortune."
This book can not only be used as a spell book for several spells, but also as a magic weapon, which has the function of assisting in the synchronization of magic.
Casius said: "Since you have spent gold coins, then you should learn these spells. I am very interested in the acceleration spell. Please show me as soon as possible."
Rump said quickly: "Yes, master."
Warlocks can learn spells, but they cannot learn through the runes on the spell scrolls, but rely more on feeling the operation of the spell and then releasing it by intuition.
For players, the probability of successful learning is very small.
But at least Casius has learned the "fire wall" through Rump's multiple demonstrations. After all, he is naturally suitable for this kind of fire shaping spell.
