"You should still remember that I have not fully promised to help you yet..."
Mogan felt that he still needed to emphasize it, and at the same time struggled with the wording, still feeling very weird.
"Help you...kill you. There is still uncertainty about the so-called 'trial'."
Compared to the value of this gift, this seems like a fraudulent promise.
"Of course." Lucifer nodded and told the truth very directly, "I will respect your final decision. But the Stardust Crystal Ball is an important part of the plan. Without its delivery and existence, I don't know what to do. How to carry out the plan?"
It seems that his plan is quite strict and there is no room for flexibility.
The retraction and use of the Stardust Crystal Ball is extremely simple. Morgan followed Lucifer's demonstration and basically understood everything after watching it once.
Lucifer also gave his reasons for choosing the time to be either morning or evening. When the light is relatively dim, the star patterns in the crystal ball will be more prominent. In addition, there are usually fewer people at this time.
"Mainly considering that there are too many people and too many eyes, this kind of thing involves too much - the great magicians in each country have a unique status, and their positions are crucial. As the king of Lestus, I I must be responsible for it and not let this thing fall into the wrong hands, so even though I want to give it to you, I also need to make sure that it won’t be lost.”
Lucifer looked serious and his tone was gloomy.
But it is obvious that the king's daily life is not easy to approach, and he does not understand the different daily customs in the market morning.
At this exact time and place, Morgan also remembered and asked Lucifer if he noticed anything unusual about Everest.
Of course, he would not directly mention names for reasoning conclusions that are not close to 100% probability and have great relevance.
"Are you looking for that fisherman?" Lucifer blinked, "He does have traces of camouflage magic...but there are many such people. Such abnormalities are too common in this area, I won't Deliberately pay attention to whether someone’s abilities are too strong.”
Mo Gan didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains, "A lot?"
He had known that the difference in Pandora's Market might have something to do with it, but this element really never occurred to him.
"About three or five people sitting on both sides of the street?" Lucifer began to think back. "I don't know if the local customs just love disguise. In fact, these things have nothing to do with me. But although I can detect the magic disguise There are traces, but unless there is physical contact, even I have no way of knowing the specific extent of their disguise and what their true appearance is."
Only then did Mogan realize the seriousness of the problem.
Most of the people sitting on both sides are vendors. Most of the vendors are locals. According to the time when Pandora Market was built, they are afraid of the heat.
He was also particularly surprised that this situation had not been brought out by his other questions until now, which meant that he might have missed more relevant details during the investigation-the secret of Pandora Market might be more secret than he originally thought. Imagine it's more complicated.
Although most people, especially the people Mogan wanted to target, didn't know about it, there was nothing unusual except for the strange silence in Pandora Market - this incident basically wouldn't affect Mogan's original plan, but he Don't want to miss key points.
However, with only these few clues, there was no way to move forward. Mo Gan could only continue to ask the next question he had originally planned.
"You said that the exchange conditions between Lestus and the crystal ball were still going on a hundred years ago. That means that a large number of great magicians over a hundred years old were likely to leave their mark on the crystal ball. Yes. Found directly?"
"To be precise, it started ninety-seven years ago."
Lucifer sighed.
"You should know about the 'Stars Fall' incident. Although the rumors are not true, my mother did die unexpectedly during the incident. I did not accept the formal handover and inheritance at that time, and she failed to tell me the purpose of the exchange of conditions for the Stardust Crystal Ball. "
Although he knew it, Morgan really didn't expect Lucifer to take the initiative to mention this sensitive topic.
"Because it concerns Lestus's internal affairs, I'm sorry, but if you're curious, I can't tell you the truth."
Lucifer thought he would dig deeper and explained in advance, but Morgan just nodded to show his knowledge.
"Then according to this logic, if Everest, the great magician of Cole Kingdom, has left a mark, we can track it to the specific location?"
If that were the case, it would save Mogan a lot of trouble without having to beat around the bush.
"Are you looking for him too?" Lucifer crossed his arms. "If he has left a mark, you can indeed rely on the records of the Stardust Crystal Ball to find the location. However, Everest of the Kingdom of Cole is a relatively The young great magician is only sixteen years older than me, and he may not have reached the level of a great magician before the Starfall incident."
The conclusion was expected, but one detail immediately piqued Morgan's interest.
"How do you know Everest's age?"
After all, there are not many exchanges between the two continents. There are not many exchanges between the two continents. The only anecdotes that are widely circulated among ordinary people are those that are quite dramatic in the world or that make people lament that "the aristocratic society is really chaotic." Sense sells extensive travelogues.
Except for situations that attract national attention, such as war, there are usually no exchanges between the two countries across the sea other than trade.
Because of this, especially since the entire country’s coastline is thousands of miles away from the port of Iverson Continent, the Kingdom of Lestus, which has not yet been able to deal with the neighboring Kingdom of Crowley, is basically the only one among the four major countries. An "orphan" who plays with himself.
They don't even have long-term channels for trade exchanges. The purchase of special products can only be carried by merchants holding passage orders. Even merchants' carriages, horses and large luggage require special approval, and even horses need to be hung with a pass order tag before they can pass. .
However, because of the mystery accumulated by Lestus over the years, he was selected by merchants who could obtain the pass. Eventually, the specialties in other countries would be quickly snatched up - things are rare and valuable, so it can be seen that Lestus Si has been closed to a different kind of situation.
Being familiar enough to know each other's exact age, at least in Mogan's understanding, shouldn't be a complete stranger.
So, maybe there is some kind of communication channel between the top mages to understand each other?
Faced with this divergent conjecture, Lucifer shook his head.
"Actually, I have never met the Great Magician Everest - it seems that you are not aware of the existence of the 'Holy Covenant'."
"Holy Covenant?"
Lucifer did not hesitate to explain, "This shouldn't be a serious secret, but people who know about it usually don't need to take the initiative to mention it to irrelevant people, because it doesn't affect their lives. You should also know that people at the level of great magicians The lifespan of a human mage is basically four hundred years old, or even more than five hundred years old?"
"It's true..." Mo Gan narrowed his eyes slightly and thought of other clues, "I remember that after being tempered by magic, the life span of a relatively powerful human warrior can reach more than two hundred years."
From a purely quantitative perspective, these warriors are more numerous than mages who need opportunity and luck to grow.
"Then have you ever wondered why the great magicians who are supposed to be the most powerful in the war will not appear? There are only a few great magicians of the human race born in each generation on the mainland. But these people, But after his own time, he disappeared.”
Having just thought of it, Mo Gan immediately blurted out, "The so-called sacred covenant is to set restrictions on strong people after a certain age to avoid intra-ethnic wars... No, it may also include other political struggles that will cause greater harm. "
The group attack effect of high-level magic is too strong, and it can kill some young strong men who have the potential to live for hundreds of years and hide their side. Perhaps the creation of such a consensus and convention is also a tacit understanding for each kingdom to retain its own racial strength.
Lucifer was very satisfied with Morgan's reflexes.
"You are so powerful that it surprises me. Maybe in addition to your strength, you also have the potential to become a 'truth seeker'."
Seekers of truth is a reputation earned by some scholars on the mainland who delve into mainland history, study classics, and specialize in searching for the truth.
However, this statement is no longer in line with the times. It is basically equivalent to Mogan's previous life when he praised people as "golden branches, jade leaves, domineering and domineering". The truth should be that, but when he said it verbally, it sounded inexplicably yin and yang.
However, what Lucifer, who is over a hundred years old, can say is that he suddenly has the air of an elderly person with a young face. In this world, the age gap is not surprising, and the difference in racial life span alone can cancel the existence of the generation gap. It’s not easy.
After being praised, Mogan felt a little dumbfounded:
These days, I am sometimes regarded as an erudite weakling with no power to restrain a chicken, sometimes as a young inquisitive scholar, sometimes as a powerful and brainless evil dragon, but never as a serious businessman.
At least for now, even Lucifer is no exception even if he already knows that he loves gold.
Although these were all decisions he made on his own, and keeping his strength secret was part of the plan, it was not a good feeling after all.
However, this does not prevent him from continuing to show off his scheming.
First, he sent away the king, who had not slept for nearly two days, with the excuse of resting, and said that he wanted to practice using the crystal ball. Mogan decided to make some unknown and potentially far-reaching small actions here based on what he had learned.
——As for reflecting on it, maybe next time.
