After putting the black dragon's body into the dimensional bag, Wang and Xiaobai hurried back to the floating island.
At the control center of the floating island, everyone in the rescue team looked at each other in shock after hearing Wang's explanation.
Flint: "So now, all we know for sure is that there is a mage with a magic rein that can turn a young dragon into his own mount, in the dense forest near us?"
Wang: "That's it. A mage who can hold such an item is probably not weak. I have reason to believe that he will definitely come to this floating island to take a look."
Flint stroked his beard: "Can control the dragon's reins... Why does this treasure sound a bit familiar..."
Elizabeth: "Is he coming for us?"
Wang: "I don't know."
Marika: "How many rings does he have?"
"I don't know. When we asked for details, we used up the number of questions in the conversation with the dead. The dragon died again, this time completely dead. Unless we use the resurrection scroll to pull it up, then beat it to death, and then use the dead dragon to kill it. chat."
Nini: "This is the first time I've heard that you can reset the number of conversations with the dead in this way."
Flint: "I think this is the first time everyone is hearing about it."
At this time, the sound stone in Rosalie's pocket vibrated.
Rosalie took out the sounding stone and glanced at Wang: "Old Mrs. Hashir is looking for me, will you pick up now?"
Wang: “Of course I’ll take it now!”
Rosalie activated the speaking stone: "I'm Rosalie, what's wrong?"
Old Mrs. Hasil's voice came out: "Oh, you really said it! This thing should be arranged for each of our bosses! Your Highness, an old mage came, and he asked us for food as soon as he sat down. "
A strange old voice came from the side: "After all, I walked in the rain forest yesterday, and I finished all the dry food yesterday. You don't want an old man to go hungry for so many days, right?"
Flint frowned, approached Rosalie who was holding the sound stone, and asked: "Is that old man wearing a blue pointed hat, and his magic pet is a black and white spotted winged cat?"
Hashir: "Yes. Do you know him?"
Flint muttered, "Calyn's belly button!"
Wang: "You are now the priest of the only Kailin temple on the island and the red archbishop of the Diocese of Floating City. You should restrain yourself and stop scolding your god all the time."
Flint: "No, now I don't think Caelynn would care about that."
From the other side of the sound stone, the old man's voice came from just now: "Flint Steelfurnace! Is that you?"
Xiaobai: "Judging from the voice, he should be standing next to Mrs. Hashir now."
Flint: "It's me, you old guy, do you still remember that you owed me two hundred gold coins?"
Old man: "I'm different from you. I'm a human being. My memory will gradually fade over time. I don't remember that I owe you so much gambling debt."
Flint: "You obviously remember! I didn't even mention gambling debts at all just now!"
Wang: "Is this guy a gambler?"
Flint: "No! When we were traveling, he owed money to everyone on the team! In the end, he had to give up the treasure he deserved to pay off the debt! But he is a thief, and only he can use the treasure. As a result, In order to continue the adventure, everyone returned the treasure to him!
"Kailin's Horns, I should have remembered it when I just heard that it can control the dragon's reins!"
The old man's hearty laughter came from the sound stone: "Hahaha, I am different. As soon as I heard that there was a dwarf in the salvation team, who was also Kailin's pastor, I felt that it might be you, so I came here to see After seeing the Kailin wood carving you carved, I’m even more sure it’s you! It makes me very sad that you’re treating this old friend who came here specifically for me.”
Flint: "Don't you know why I did this to you?"
"Other than a little hobby, I haven't done anything bad. In fact, we were able to turn danger into disaster time and time again in our adventures back then, and I have a share of the credit!"
Flint shook his head and turned to tell the king: "Remember, this is the person who should not be easily trusted in our team back then. He seems to be a loyal and honest old mage, but he is actually very cunning."
Wang: "How many rings does he have?"
Flint: "I was just a sixth-level spellcaster back then, but now... I don't know."
"Eight rings." The old man's words came from the sound stone, "Don't you want to meet your old friends? And I can already smell it. Next to the icon of Kailin you carved, there is Shire pure brew. The scent! Don’t you want to share it with your old friends?”
Wang looked at the rest of the team and took the speaking stone from Rosalie's hand: "I am the captain of the salvation team. Are you here to join us?"
"No." The old man answered very simply, "I am also very busy myself. After all, I am already very old. If I don't want to transform into a lich, I have to find a way to gain eternity. So I..."
Wang: "I know the way to upgrade. Are you planning to trade with me?"
"So I'm running around for this matter...wait a minute, what did you say?" The old man's voice was very shocked.
Wang: "The way to upgrade is that we have a bunch of planeswalkers in our Mage Tower. This secret is not a secret in our Mage Tower."
As soon as he finished speaking, Flint pulled the king's trouser leg hard: "Don't tell him! This guy will definitely try his best to trick your secret out!"
"How can you say you're lying?" the old man said with a smile, "Of course I exchanged information for information. In fact, the rumor that the captain of the salvation team has the secret of all spells has spread, and many mages are rushing here. I I came here intending to trade with you."
Wang: "Then please come downstairs. I'll send the 'elevator' up right away."
"Wait, elevator? It sounds like a word in Cyclops. You are indeed an expert in Cyclops as rumored. That's good, that's good." The old man said.
**
A minute later, Wang met this old acquaintance of Flint.
He wore a blue pointed hat, a blue robe, and a big beard. The beard almost caught up with Flint in terms of length and quantity, but it was completely unkempt and looked like a shaggy weed pile. Moreover, it was not waxed, so the beard looked dull, gray and dull. It will turn into ashes soon.
Seeing the queen, the old man narrowed his eyes: "There is indeed a bookish air, and he looks very much like the boys from the Austrian Law Association who are good at reading. I heard that you are now in the third ring?"
Wang: "Sihuan, your intelligence is lagging behind."
"Oh, it's amazing to reach the fourth ring at such a young age. It's amazing. When I was your age, I had just mastered the second ring, and then I became the most promising future star in the Mage Tower." The old man looked sentimental. .
King: "Mage Tower?"
Old man: "Yes, I was also born in the Mage Tower, but the Mage Tower I belonged to was wiped out in the battle with the Arcane Federation ninety-seven years ago."
Wang: "Ninety-seven years ago? How noble are you this year?"
Old man: "Two hundred and seventeen years old, I know you will wonder, how can a human who has not embraced eternity and not transformed into a lich..."
Wang: "The necklace around your neck, if I'm not mistaken, should be the reason why you can live so long."
The old man was stunned.
Flint laughed loudly: "You tried to sell it off, but you failed, right? Although we are both from the Mage Tower, our captain is different from your Mage Tower who can be destroyed by the Austrian Law Federation. He even It was raised by the Succubus Queen and the Devil Archduke!"
The old man awkwardly put the necklace around his neck into the collar of his robe and hid it, and muttered: "When did it escape? Why didn't I notice it?"
Wang: "The aura of that necklace is already very weak and should be about to expire."
The old man sighed: "Yes, it is indeed about to expire. I don't even have human spots on my body, but look at this."
The old man rolled up his sleeves and showed off the age spots on his arms: "Look! My memory is getting worse and worse. I really forgot just now that I still owe Flint two hundred gold coins."
As he spoke, the old man took out a dimensional bag from his pocket, and then took out a bag of gold coins from the dimensional bag.
Flint: "Is that exactly two hundred gold pieces?"
Old man: "Of course not, this is... I didn't order it!"
Flint: "You definitely ordered it, otherwise how could you be sure it wasn't exactly two hundred! There must be exactly a dozen missing, and then you can perform a show of using your belongings to pay off the debt! You have been there since the beginning Cheating for sympathy! King, don’t be deceived by him, there is a reason why their Mage Tower offends the Arcane Federation!"
Wang: "I don't care about two hundred gold coins, because we are very rich."
The two princesses nodded together: "Yes."
Wang: "So Flint is also very rich now, and Elizabeth has already paid a deposit before setting off. So you can just tell your purpose of coming without mentioning the money."
The old man sighed: "Okay. Let me be blunt. I came here mainly because I heard that you are an encyclopedic talent who has mastered all magic secrets. I want to ask you to confirm the authenticity of the half scroll I got. . Of course, I didn’t expect you to directly expose the secret of promotion to trade with me.”
Wang: "The secret of upgrading is actually nothing to keep secret. Even if most people know how to upgrade, they don't have enough materials. The naturally formed planeswalkers are simplified through comparison after their understanding of magic and the world has reached a certain level. Ways to gain eternity.
"Take this plane as an example. You can't obtain the key materials for the upgrading ceremony in this plane. They don't exist here. You have to go to other planes to obtain the materials. And if you go to other planes, you have to understand the essence of magic. , and even understanding the nature of the world must reach a certain level before you can cross the time and space barrier between planes.
"But if you have reached this state, you can embrace eternity through relatively simple rituals. In fact, most planeswalkers first ignite a spark and embrace eternity before gaining the ability to travel between planes."
Rosalie looked at Wang: "But you are different. Your mage tower has all the materials, so you can forcibly upgrade one of us through rituals."
Wang: "No, generally speaking, you still have to get the materials for the upgrade ceremony yourself, but you can use the mage tower as a transit station to collect materials from various planes.
"Rather, after being promoted to the ninth ring in the tower, gathering materials for promotion becomes an activity like a graduation exam. You must complete it independently. Just like how we are dealing with the crisis of saving the world now."
"Wait a minute!" The old mage made a pause gesture, "Is it common for your mage tower to reach the ninth ring?"
Wang: "No, that's not the case. In the past eighteen years, I have only seen four people go to the Nine Rings, and only one was successfully promoted. The others are just scraping together materials."
With a bang, Flint's old acquaintance fainted on the ground.
Flint laughed, happy.
