Chapter 175 The Real Lord of Magtan [Please subscribe]
The scene that happened in front of him almost made Baron Bezos’ jaw drop.
This was the first time he had seen the famous Ahn'Qiraj Lauder in the city make such a humble gesture.
On weekdays, Ahn'Qiraj would just nod at most when seeing him.
As the regional head of the Magic Association, Ahn'Qiraj is a very arrogant guy.
Not only does she have dual spell-casting talents and the certified title of third-level senior mage, she is also a quasi-fourth-level archmage!
This allows Ahn'Qiraj to act without looking at the baron's face in the Magtan City area.
On the contrary, Baron Bezos turned to Ahn'Qiraj in many aspects.
After all, more than 80% of the local spellcasters in the city are members of the Magic Association.
If you want to learn magic corresponding to the element system, you must report to the association and register.
In a sense, the Magic Association has much higher control over its members than the Adventurer's Guild.
It's just that the latter has an advantage in terms of number of members.
Because both magic practitioners and spell casters 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 forcefully summon its members.
There is no free lunch in the world, and the Magic Association provides new spellcasters with spells corresponding to the elemental system to learn.
In exchange, the members under his command are obliged to accept the call of the association.
For example, Chen Xuan is a proper wild man, and the spells he practices do not come from the corresponding magic books in the association.
But it is all [Magic Crystal].
The Magic Book can be studied and understood over and over again, but the [Magic Crystal] is a one-time consumable.
The purchasing expenses, which can easily cost hundreds or thousands of crowns, are beyond the reach of ordinary low-level spellcasters.
In addition, the number of [Magic Crystals] on the market is small and scattered, and you may not necessarily be able to find the elemental magic that suits you, so it is a truly unpopular "luxury product".
Only a wealthy person like Chen Xuan, who doesn't care about expenses, and a freak who has mastered the talent of sensing all elements at the same time, can learn magic unscrupulously by purchasing [Magic Crystal].
To sum up, the power of the Magic Association in Magtan City should not be underestimated.
Seeing that Ahn'Qiraj, who usually didn't give him a good look, was now kneeling in humility and swearing allegiance.
Baron Bezos always felt strange, but when he thought that the person who conquered Ahn'Qiraj was also his own master, he felt inexplicably happy for some reason.
Chen Xuan, who accepted his allegiance, did not have as much inner drama as Bezos.
Because at the same time Ahn'Qiraj knelt down, she took the initiative to issue a slave contract.
You must know that the conclusion of a contract is two-way, and not only the principal party can initiate the conclusion.
For example, the first slave contract signed by Chen Xuan was initiated by the kitten girl Rebecca.
It is a similar situation now. Ahn'Qiraj Lauder took the initiative to request Chen Xuan to conclude a contract.
Ever since Ahn'Qiraj learned that Chen Xuan also had the phantom of the Rose Key hidden in her body, her attitude had changed, as if she was pursuing some secret.
Chen Xuan checked the terms and found that the slave life she planned was 999 years.
I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
But it doesn't matter, the terms are just a rough framework, and his golden fingers can turn everything around.
After leaving a soul imprint, an invisible bond appears between the two.
This is a sign of a successful contract.
Chen Xuan was not busy making immediate [cross-border] modifications, but first glanced at Baron Bezos.
When the latter saw this, he immediately knew what was going on. He stood up and left the study, came to the door, and called the snake steward to go to the castle hall to summon the next target.
Taking advantage of the short gap, Chen Xuan planned to find out the details of Ahn'Qiraj.
"Take off your disguise."
"There are no outsiders here, only your master."
He gave the order unceremoniously.
The robe on Ahn'Qiraj is very unique, not only can it completely cover up its appearance and figure, but it can also not be torn off by external forces.
Therefore, Chen Xuan knew without thinking that this pocket must be a high-level camouflage item.
After he gave the order, Ahn'Qiraj hesitated slightly before reaching out and taking off his hood.
Then he started to unbutton his clothes.
When the hood fell, Chen Xuan could finally see the true face of this powerful mage from Bangcheng!
"Hiss!"
"So you're not an old woman!"
After the erratic shadow dissipated, a petite and cute face was revealed!
Her short burgundy shoulder-length hair is trimmed neatly, her skin is fair and delicate, her eyebrows are delicate and small, and she has a hint of stubbornness. She looks like a young girl who has just grown up, and she is not at all the image of an "old woman" that Chen Xuan imagined
!
However, according to Baron Bezos's introduction, Angela Lauder has lived in Magatan City for nearly twenty naroya years. In other words, she is at least forty or fifty years old!
But she still looks young, retaining her girlish appearance.
There are almost no traces of the passage of time on her face, only full of collagen.
When the buttons of the jacket were completely unbuttoned, what appeared in front of Chen Xuan's eyes was a slim and delicate body.
The robe made by a special weaving process is exuding a hazy light.
The robe has runes representing the two magical elements of thunder and fire.
"Master!"
After removing the disguise, Ahn'Qiraj's voice changed greatly.
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."
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
miraculous spring water not only gave me a lifespan comparable to that of immortality, but also gave me His appearance remained the same as the moment he drank the spring water."
Ahn'Qiraj explained softly. This topic was slightly embarrassing, but it eased the cold atmosphere between the two.
Chen Xuan looked stunned and nodded slightly.
"Have you actually drank from the Fountain of Youth?"
he asked in feigned surprise, hiding his embarrassment that he had no idea what the Fountain of Youth was.
"Yes, I saw the legendary elves and fairies at that time."
It has to be said that Ahn'Qiraj's statement became more and more bizarre, and even the elves and fairies came 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 looked normal, not 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 the rose."
Chen Xuan said more implicitly, but An'Qiraj immediately understood what he wanted to ask when he heard the word "rose".
"The rose originated from the lunar eclipse and star setting ten Naloya years ago."
"And I happened to be the one chosen by the stars."
Ahn'Qiraj's description was relatively brief. When both parties talked about this topic, they both changed. You have to be careful, 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 falling star!
The same questions were only superficial, and Chen Xuan then asked some other less sensitive topics.
Get a general understanding of Ahn'Qiraj's talents, training history, and strength!
She has 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.
It didn't take long for the Snake Butler to bring Chen Xuan's second target to conquer—
Virginio Wuti, the 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 practice that is close to the peak of the silver level. Coupled with the Tauren's physical talent, he is considered to be the first-class magic practitioner 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 commission 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 took action.
This guy has brute strength and is thick-skinned.
At first, he actually broke through the [Thunder Cage] set by Ahn'Qiraj with brute strength.
Taking advantage of the situation, he launched the clan's secret skill, Wuho charging, his body glowing red like an accelerating heavy truck about to rush towards Ahn'Qiraj.
Showing the strength of a silver-level peak powerhouse.
When it exerts force, even the castle reinforced and protected by magic and runes trembles slightly.
The effect is similar to the commercial housing in Blue Star. Someone is playing a 95 or 120 large electric pick upstairs.
In terms of battlefield destructive power alone, Ahn'Qiraj is definitely stronger, but there is a detail involved here.
That is the shortcoming of spellcasters generally being weak in melee combat.
Especially in a relatively small and cramped environment like a study, this shortcoming is completely exposed.
If there is cover and room to move on the battlefield, then Ahn'Qiraj will definitely defeat Virginio, but indoors the outcome is uncertain.
But it doesn't matter, the reason Ahn'Qiraj dared to take action was Chen Xuan, who controlled the law of time.
[Time Stops] All living beings are equal!
Under such circumstances, the two of them managed to get hold of Virginio Wuho within a few minutes with some effort, and successfully concluded a slave contract that ostensibly lasted for three years!
Once you get rid of these two tough-minded guys, the rest will be easy to handle.
The tauren Virginio and Ahn'Qiraj jointly held the battle, and Chen Xuan only took about a quarter of an hour to take down all the remaining leading figures in the city.
Including Norman Weiner, the garrison chief and captain of the light cavalry battalion.
At this point, Chen Xuan officially took control of the entire Magtan City!
It’s still the kind of complete control from top to bottom!
Among the civilians, there are two major underworld forces, the Finger Gang and the Coolie Mule. At the municipal level, the entire team and the backbone of the garrison have been subdued!
Among the traveling merchants are the eyes and ears of the White Rose Caravan.
From now on, even the adventurers and spell casters in the city will be used by Chen Xuan!
He is the real Lord of Magtan!
After he completed the contract task, time had reached the first water clock hour of the sun.
There was still no light from the sun or the moon outside.
The black clouds, black light, and the taking shape of the void transmission channel all make Magatan City look like a black domain.
The medium-sized void transmission channel in the sky has become more solid.
However, based on comparing records in ancient books and actual observations, it will take at least ten to twelve water hours to complete the construction of this passage.
In addition, after the channel construction is completed, it will also take time to release and assemble the monsters.
Therefore, Chen Xuan still has a certain amount of time to prepare!
...
There are too many people reading Quantum. Dragon's Roar is a description from the author's third-person perspective. What does the protagonist know?
As long as a hero roars, he is not a Warcraft expert. He can know that it is a dragon roar from dozens of kilometers away. I really hate Di Renjie from the third person perspective. How about writing flashy Riddlers in the future?
