When Ren saw Answorth's expression, he gave a "crack" in his heart, followed by a burst of embarrassment, and what he did was clearly seen by the teacher.

He thought that the teacher did not do it on purpose, but now it seems that it was on purpose.

"Teacher." Ren bowed and saluted.

Anse Waldos put down his pen and stroked his white beard with a smile, "Ren, don't blame me for ruining your good deeds. As a teacher, I just hope you don't make mistakes."

"Missing..." Ren's face was stunned.

"Have you forgotten that half-elf lady?" Anse Verdas said with a serious look, "It's understandable for a man to be romantic, and I also know that you are not a promiscuous person. However, the identity of the countess It's not easy, you should know better than me, if the matter of Oxilia reaches Longshande, how will you explain to the Duke of Silver Star?"

Ren didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that the teacher was afraid that a fire in his backyard would cause the Duke of Silver Star to be held accountable.

Teacher, do you care too much about the private life of your students?

He had to explain: "Teacher, this is what Viola agreed."

Anse Waldos was startled, he didn't expect this result at all, he was stunned for a while before shaking his head, and said in a complicated tone: "I don't know if I should say that the half-elf is generous? Or are you young people really? Can you play?"

"Actually, I was surprised too." Ren scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"However, I still want to remind you." Anse Verdas resumed his seriousness, "Oxilia's origin is more complicated than you think. If you walk with her, you will inevitably be involved in her destiny. Even I'm not sure I can protect her, if it's too late for you to get out now."

"Because she's a rainbow dragon?" Ren asked tentatively.

"Not all." Anse Verdas sighed, "Although the legendary dragon species is rare, it is not troublesome. Instead, it is her human bloodline that will attract many people's coveted."

Ren was a little puzzled. What's so strange about human blood?

All the human beings in the world of Ellenus are cursed with blood and souls, which have been passed down from generation to generation. There is no strong human bloodline for a long time. Everyone is on the same starting line. It can be said that everyone is born. equality.

But Oxilia does have a peculiarity.

Half of her bloodline comes from human beings, and there is no blood and soul curse in her soul.

As a result, either the iridescent dragon's powerful talent resisted the curse; or it was the one of her parents who belonged to human beings, the extraordinary occupation level reached the twentieth level, and she entered the holy soul or holy rank, and she was born after the curse was lifted.

He wanted to ask again, but Anse Verdas waved his hand, "This is Oxilia's private matter, and she will naturally say it when she is willing to tell you."

"Okay." Ren nodded in understanding.

But he didn't have any intention of backing down and said, "Teacher, no matter whether Xilia is close to me or not, she is my friend, and I will not sit idly by while she is in danger."

Anse Waldos looked at Renne seriously, saw his firm attitude, and smiled gratified: "Since you think so, then it's up to you, treat her well."

"Thank you, teacher."

Ren didn't say anything about it, and instead asked, "Teacher, are you okay?"

"It's still the same."

Anse Waldos looked relaxed, but Ren frowned.

Since half a year ago, the death finger and dissociation technique of Sazarstan in the teacher's body have been on the verge of disintegration, and the energy of the floating city needs to be used to maintain life, and it has not been solved until now.

According to the method given by the teacher, it is necessary to find a few transcendental elements that enhance physical fitness, and hold the dissociation technique. Several speakers are searching privately, and Ren has been inquiring secretly, but half a year has passed and still nothing has been found.

Transcendent elements can be encountered but not sought after, even with the power of Wezeland Floating Void City, if you want to get the specified elements, you have to rely on luck.

Maybe it's too bad luck, too short time, and can't mobilize people to find it with great fanfare, so as not to let the teacher's opponents notice the signs.

But the teacher, as one of the three giants of the Supreme Council, cannot hide in the floating city forever.

If it drags on for too long, it will be exposed sooner or later, giving people an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Ren sighed secretly, but was helpless.

However, Anse Waldos was concerned about his experience in the plateau. Ren did not hide it, and repeated what he had just said to Oxilia.

When he heard Elder Titan, he was also amazed.

Ren took the opportunity to take out the source crystal mine that Sorim gave him, and asked, "Teacher, have you seen the source crystal?"

Anse Waldos picked up the crystalline silver ore, observed it carefully for a few minutes, then shook his head and said, "I'm not good at alchemy, and I don't know much about minerals. This is the first time I've seen Origin Crystal. It's none of your business."

Ren was not disappointed. He specialized in surgery, and it was normal for teachers not to understand.

Anse Waldos suggested: "You can ask Speaker Dallandon. He is the best alchemist in our Wezeland. He should know more about this than me."

"OK."

Ren received the original crystal mine, remembered one more thing, and told the teacher about the mysterious wizard he met in the dead forest.

Hearing the back, Anse Verdas seemed to know who it was, and said with a smile: "That wizard should be Tuzre's simulacrum clone."

"It really is the Duke of Black Robe!"

Ren suddenly realized that the answer was reasonable and unexpected.

In fact, since he left the dead forest, he has been considering the identity of the black-robed wizard, and gradually took on the name of a big man. He is one of the members of the Supreme Council and the most junior holy soul wizard so far - the black-robed Duke Tutu Zlei Sling.

The Duke has been promoted to the Holy Spirit for less than a hundred years, and his previous experience is almost blank. People know almost nothing about his origin, age, and mentorship. He seems to have suddenly appeared from somewhere, from obscurity. Once you reach the sky, you will directly become a Holy Soul Wizard.

For unknown reasons, the High Council of Chermites recognized and accepted him, and soon granted him the title of duke.

However, which part of the empire the Duke of Black Robe chose as his territory remains a mystery to this day.

Rumor has it that he has a wizarding tower, but no one has ever seen it.

Ren had heard about the Duke of Black Robe from his teacher. The Holy Soul Wizard has always maintained a neutral attitude in the Supreme Council. Since entering the Council, no matter how important the vote, he has abstained from voting and often absent from the Council.

This means that he has never exercised his power.

But the strength of the Duke of Black Robe is absolutely beyond doubt.

Simulacra is a ninth-level spell, and the highest level of magic of a legendary high-level wizard is only eighth. Only a Holy Soul Wizard can perform simulacrum and create a clone that is only half his level.

A simulacrum clone is the same as itself except that its level is only half of itself. Thoughts, memories, spellcasting skills, etc., perfectly inherit the past, just like another independent human being, it can exist for a long time as long as it does not die, but it cannot continue to upgrade.

The simulacrum of the Holy Soul Wizard, half of which is at least a tenth-level wizard, happens to be a legend.

It's no wonder that the soul's eye can't see through the other's soul, but it has not been attacked.

Ren asked curiously: "How could the simulacrum of the Duke of Black Robe appear in the Dead Forest, and was controlled by the Soul Control Circle?"

"There's nothing strange about this," Anse Verdaws said, "Dead Forest is the duchy chosen by Tuzre."

Ren was extremely surprised, "Isn't the death forest the domain of the green dragon king 'Zhanqing'?"

"Tuzre was originally just a legendary sorcerer. He was able to leapfrog the promotion of the Holy Soul Wizard, and he was inseparable from his wizard tower. That tower was old and had a mysterious origin. It was hidden in the depths of the dead forest. In order to fully control the wizard tower, there is bound to be a conflict with 'Zhanqing', the two sides have been fighting endlessly for more than a hundred years." Anse Waldos slowly said the secret.

"So that's the case." Ren thought for a while, "Why didn't the Supreme Council help the Duke of Black Robe?"

Anse Verdas replied: "Zhan Qing is a Taikoo dragon, probably a demigod, and the Supreme Council doesn't want to provoke the king of green dragons. We can support Tuzre behind his back and designate the dead forest sea as a duchy. It's taking a risk on the strength of the empire."

"Tuzre relies on the wizard tower, and is proficient in arcane and shadow spells, which is why he barely has contact with Zhanqing. Their struggle will not end in the short term, and it will last for hundreds of years, even thousands of years. possible."

Ren nodded and sighed: "So that's how it is."

He guessed in his heart that the simulacrum of the Duke of Black Robe should be controlled by the King of Green Dragons. In order to confuse Swift, Monagas borrowed this enslaved simulacrum from the King of Green Dragons. , turned into a green dragon, and finally met himself, and lifted the soul control circle.

"This speculation should not be far from the truth."

Anse Verdas affirmed it and said with a smile: "Since Tuzre said he owes you a favor, with his character, he does what he says, you must cherish this favor, and it may come in handy in the future."

"I remember, teacher."

Ren is well aware of how precious a Holy Soul Wizard's commitment is~lightnovelpub.net~ This may be his biggest gain in the dead forest.

He didn't forget to ask the teacher for advice. The Duke of Black Robe saw that he had a way to remove the Soul Control Circle. What was that magical ability?

Anse Waldos replied solemnly: "That should be the hourglass of the legendary element of time."

Ren was shocked.

This legendary element is recorded in the "Book of Thousand Souls", but there is very little information, only a few words. It is rumored that people who have the "hourglass of time" can see the past and the future, and even see a certain person at a glance. the fate of an intelligent creature, alive or dead.

The hourglass of time is the most mysterious arcane element, and its only known source is the most powerful legendary dragon species - the dragon of time!

Ren sighed for a while, didn't stay with the teacher for a long time, got up and said goodbye.
