Nephies carefully closed the curtains to cover Penny's torso, and he lay on his back on the bed, almost like a dead man, except for the slight heaving of his chest.

Lannie, who was next to her, yawned, glanced back at the door, closed her eyes, and tried to fall asleep, but opened them again.

"Lady Lannie, it's been more than two days... ・・The little girl looked at the sun outside the window, stroking her big toy, and her tone was full of worry.

"Don't worry about him. Lanny scratched her hair and shook her head slightly; So many chiefs in Serge tried to kill him, but they didn't let him die, they just fainted inexplicably, and there was no need to make a fuss. ”

"But it's because it's inexplicable that it's worth worrying, what if he's never cool?" said this, and the little girl's mouth flattened.

Lanny snorted, and suddenly there was a groan from the bed, and she and the little girl's gaze turned together, only to see that the wizard's eyes had opened a slit.

"Are you awake?" two faces, one large and one small, leaned over and fell into Penny's eyes.

"What time is it now?" the wizard's voice was still a little weak.

"Your Excellency, you've been in a coma for two whole days. Nephies replied.

"Two days ・・・・・・" a feeling of vertigo made Penny almost fall over again.

Lanny immediately turned to Nephis; Get him something to eat and drink. ”

Nephies nodded and ran briskly out of the room, Penny gasping for breath and getting out of bed.

"Are you alright?" Lannie glanced at him.

The mage shook his head.

"Great, don't forget to let me know in advance before you pass out for some reason next time. She stretched, her mouth clicked twice, and she lay down on the soft bed; Now I'm going to get some sleep. ”

"You haven't slept?" looked at her disgraced face, and the mage was a little surprised.

"Don't bother me. She replied crudely, burying her head under the pillow.

The mage shrugged his shoulders, and then Nephis yawned like a man and walked in with some milk bread, and brought it to Penny with a little dissatisfaction; My lord, the people here are so snub to you that they only leave this one thing for you. ”

"Don't complain. Penny took the plate; It's normal for a wizard here to have a backstage and a rough temper, and it's much better now than when we fled, isn't it?"

Nephies scratched at her hair, scratching her little head into a mess.

"You can sleep for a while#. The mage bit down on half a slice of bread and rubbed the little girl's head.

"Hmm. She nodded, and fell asleep on the mage's chest, looking at her little face that soon fell asleep, and Penny didn't think of putting her aside for a moment.

He finished eating, leaned against the head of the bed and began to think about the events of the past two days, and at the same time began to organize his thoughts.

The restlessness of the Mither Nucleus was far more violent than he had imagined.

After the initial integration of the methodology, he could clearly feel that his strength had increased dramatically, which was reflected in the greater control of the source force, and the ability to master stronger and more complex source power also allowed him to cast higher-level spells.

But even so, he could barely suppress the movement of the Mithic core, and in the face of the two Mithic cores that had already resonated, his strength was still insufficient, even with the addition of the mysterious short rod composed of the two crystals.

For this reason, he can only retreat to the next best thing, avoiding the energy core, and reclaiming his consciousness and body alone.

But even so, the work was still very difficult due to the interference of resonance, and it would take at least a few days to complete it.

But an accident helped him, and just now, he felt something strange in the underground chamber.

Through the information transmitted by the energy core resonance, he saw a masked woman burrow into the room and carry the body of the old man in the magic array, due to the rapid and detailed information transmission between the Mither energy cores, he could still remember the body temperament and characteristics of this masked woman.

He didn't know why this woman carried the old man's corpse, and it didn't matter to Penny, what was important to him was that as the magic circle stopped, the resonance between the Mither cores also stopped.

The wizard seized the opportunity to regain his consciousness and sealed the Mithic Core in his mind with a spell and two Imasca crystals.

Thankfully, there were no accidents this time, and he managed to regain consciousness.

This experience once again made him aware of what a huge trouble was inhabiting his mind, and even now, he could feel that the Mithic Core was constantly pounding at the closure of the Imaska Crystal and the constant spell, and it was getting stronger and stronger, and it would not be long before it burst out again. ,

This is obviously not rosy news for Penny.

Now he has a bit of a love-hate relationship with this core, and while it is true that it has great power, it is clear that it is not under his control at all.

"A way should be found to control it. Penny stroked his chin and groaned; Leaving Waterdeep・・・・・・"

He shook his head, it was obvious that this was a palliative solution, because he could imagine that the things on Faeron that could stimulate the Mithic Core must not be the only place in Waterdeep, and if he didn't happen to encounter another Mithic Core somewhere, he would have to go to great lengths to repeat this action.

Then there is only another way, to improve the strength・・・・・・

The effect was slow, and the arcane power contained by the Mithic core was able to reach the realm of borrowing, and as Penny's power grew, he could also feel how incredible the power of the Mithic core was, and the more refined methodology only allowed him to maintain himself while the Mithic core went berserk.

Then there is only one way.

He pulled out two Imasca Empire's mystical pieces, taken from the last arcane trick in the country that threatened the gods, and it was clear that these two were effective in suppressing the power of the Mithic Core, but they were also gradually weakened by the restlessness of the Mithic Core.

"If we can find more parts, maybe it will be easier to control it. ”

That's a good way to do it.

Penny frowned, remembering his dealings with the ruins of Imasca due to these two crystals.

The ancient scholar Dilpur, who hid in the ruins and gave him important guidance, gave him a commission.

The lord of Imasca, named Helasser, is now thousands of years old and must be dead・・・・・・

He frowned.

But if you want to explore the ruins of Imasca, there are obviously not many places to start, and it may be more worth exploring than the ruins of the empire in Luoyan.

"Hyratha?" Elder Miria, who had celebrated Penny's sobriety, heard the wizard's inquiry; Lord of the Ancient Empire? ”

Despite her noble status, the Female Elder knew very well that this young wizard possessed extremely high magical attainments and was recognized by Elder Xiao Brandang, so she did not rely on her identity to dictate to him.

This approach will certainly win Penny's favor.

In his opinion, although the female elder spoke sharply and stiffly, she was not as rigid and difficult to get along with as others said; Ah, Mr. Sean, you must know that the person you are looking for is thousands of years old now, and even a wizard who casts longevity spells will not be able to survive such a long time. ”

Her eyes flickered, and her voice became a little low; You know that the average wizard's methodology is difficult to sustain for that long time, and if the reason for existence disappears, or if it contradicts the longevity spell, the wizard will die quickly. ，，

Penny was not surprised that the witch was talking about such a thing in such a low voice, because there were apprentices walking around nearby.

For these low-level apprentices, the methodology is a secret, and most of the high-level mages in Faeron invariably keep this secret in order to ensure the safety of the wizarding community.

And it doesn't do any good to let the apprentice know prematurely that he avoids the seeds, and the indiscriminate exploration of the methodology is likely to turn the promising apprentice into a madman, although most of the spellcasters in Feren are more or less insane.

Penny frowned and nodded when he heard the elder's explanation.

The Elder's argument is very reasonable, even a mage would not have survived such a long time, and if he still survived, he would definitely be a legend of Faeron.

"Oh, but it's not impossible that some Legendary-level guys have such a lifespan, but there are only a few legendary mages who have lived for thousands of years to the present, even if you count the lich. The female elder frowned; If this is the case, you may be able to look up the information of these guys, most of the biographies of these old guys are widely known, and you know, if a wizard can survive such a long time, their existence cannot be completely secret. ”

This statement is not difficult to understand, a guy who has lived for thousands of years, no matter how vague the historical trajectory is, will definitely leave some traces, and with that level of power, it will itself fall into the field of vision of many powerful beings, even if it is hidden carefully, it is impossible not to be known to the world. ,

For example, in the Entanglement Charm located in the Carlinshan, although many ordinary people are doubting whether the organization really exists, and the people of the countries that are a little farther away from the Carlinshan are unlikely to even know the name of the organization, some people with great power, or churches with conflicting doctrines, still know the existence of this organization, and even know the identity and history of the longest-living legendary lich in this organization

For example, in the database of the Red Robe Mage Society, there is a record of this dangerous old guy named La Harbor.

This reminded Penny of something, vaguely grasping a little inspiration, but still not clear;" You're saying that if this old guy from thousands of years ago is still alive now, he is now a very old legendary spellcaster?"

"It's more likely that he's dead. Miria frowned; Please understand my curiosity, is it possible that Mr. Sean is very interested in the history of the ancient Imasca Empire, and you must know that this country has far fewer traces left in the multiverse than the equally old Color-resistant and Karin-cedar・・・・・・

"Just a study. The wizard inadvertently diverted the topic, of course he also knew that most of the guys he was looking for were dead, but he still had some hope, because if this guy really hung up, then it would be very difficult for the organization to find the grave keeper, and Hyrather, the existence of this person, was the only clue.

"Actually, as I just inferred, Mr. Sean, if you think he's still alive, why don't you look up the information of the legendary spellcasters in the multiverse who have been alive for a long time・・・・・・ you know, there may be a legendary mage with a secret past, or a direct relationship with Imasca・・・・・・" Miria said this, frowning; Actually, the library here is good, as a guest, you only need a few gold coins to enter and search, you know・The Deepwater Society's database is no worse than the Candlekeep, and what you need to know does not involve arcane knowledge and does not touch the taboos here.

Pan nodded slowly, this is indeed a good idea.

He was quick to do so.

Follow a wizard who leads the way into the library and begins to search the huge shelves for materials of interest to him.

It's not that complicated.

Because there are not many legendary spellcasters who have lived for thousands of years, and the remnants of Imaska do not believe in any gods, their unfaithfulness is as well-known as Nessreel, so the scope can be further reduced.

Then there are not many legendary mages left, not to mention that several of them are the remnants of the Great Arcanist from Gu Naise.

After searching through the thick materials for a while, Penny found what he was looking for・・・・・・
