Two people were sitting on the ground beside the bonfire.
Søren was sitting on the left, and Ildis was sitting on the right.
In fact.
Even now, Ildis still felt like he was in a dream. Two days ago, he had met a witch who had come with him. She had only given him some pointers and helped him break through the spiritual barrier, successfully lifting him to the higher levels of the Weave. Now, he was already a quasi-Legendary-level spellcaster. With his age, he could reach such a level. It was almost certain that he would enter the Legendary Realm in the future. According to the agreement at that time, he came here to wait for the witch's arrival. At that time, the witch said that if he was free, he would wait for her nearby. She needed Ildis to do a small favor.
According to the agreement, the witch should have arrived this morning.
However, the witch seemed to be delayed by something. Ildis originally planned to leave, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait a little longer.
After all, the witch had helped him before. She might be his opportunity.
Ildis had a powerful enemy. That enemy was not only a legendary spellcaster, but also a Lich.
Then.
Ildis met Søren.
The witch that was supposed to be here did not appear. Instead, a stranger that he had never met before appeared.
However, as dramatic as his encounter with the mysterious witch, Ildis actually managed to learn important clues about the legendary [Archmage's Staff] that he had been looking for all this while.
It was like a dream!
As a high-grade spellcaster, Ildis had been stuck at a very important bottleneck. His spirit was not pure enough to break through the higher levels of the Weave, so he had never been able to reach the Legendary Realm. However, just as he was about to give up looking for the Goddess of Magic, Ildis unexpectedly met a northern witch who was also looking for the Goddess of Magic. Although the other party did not reveal her identity, Ildis intuitively thought that she was a high-level figure among the northern witches because she just gave him some pointers and helped him break through the bottleneck.
Then, what he thought came true.
Ildis was preparing to continue looking for the legendary [Archmage's Staff] after breaking through the realm and use its power to help him deal with his enemies. He did not expect to suddenly meet a wizard in the wild. He did not know what went wrong with the other party. She directly invited him to explore the secret treasure that might seal the Archmage's Staff.
At this moment!
Ildis felt as if he had been possessed by an ancient hero. It was just like the stories of bards in taverns. Whenever he went out, he would meet a famous person. With some guidance, he would advance by leaps and bounds. While strolling and drinking in the tavern, he bumped into another so-and-so. Then, the other party told him where there was some treasure. He said, "I see that you have a good constitution and great strength. Why don't you come with me to find the treasure?"
This was like the arrangement of fate!
That's right.
At this moment, Ildis really felt that everything was arranged by fate. He was like an epic hero in a legendary story who could get whatever he wanted.
Søren really did tell him where the treasure was.
According to the information he had collected over a long period of time, Ildis judged that there was at least a 60% chance that Søren was telling the truth. Since his spellcasting level was higher than Søren's, Ildis had been secretly maintaining the spell to detect lies. In his eyes, Søren was only an intermediate wizard, and he had completely suppressed Søren in terms of strength. Therefore, he naturally let down his guard.
Søren didn't tell the truth, but he didn't lie completely either.
In his opinion, the 'lie detection' spell that Ildis had been secretly maintaining was a complete joke. However, in order to save time and gain the trust of this guy as much as possible, Søren still didn't point out these things.
Now, Ildis was not one of the most powerful spellcasters in the material plane in the future!
Søren didn't care much about what he was thinking. What he cared about was that he could find the Goddess of Magic through him. It would be best if he could lock onto the Goddess of Magic through the clergy of [Tracking].
In that case!
Søren could find her at any time when he needed her. If possible, Søren still hoped that the magic network wouldn't collapse so quickly.
If the magic network collapsed, the strength of the city of Mordor would suffer a great loss.
First of all.
Søren's spellcasting ability would be affected. Even if he had an arcanist level, it would also reduce a lot. Then, Gloria would basically be completely useless for a period of time.
Before adapting to the situation of mastering spellcasting without the help of the magic network, Gloria's combat power was not even one-tenth of what it was now.
It was the same for the Fallen Witch.
The magic network collapsed!
The Northern Witches were hit hard in an instant, and the Wizard City also suffered heavy losses. The latter was nothing, but the former was now an important ally of Søren.
According to the historical progress line.
During the time when the magic network collapsed, the Northern Witches were directly weakened to a small third-rate organization. A large number of members died in the hands of demons, devils, and other enemies. The entire Witch Union was almost wiped out. Even the Eye of the North, who now had the power of high-level legendary spellcasting, eventually fell.
To some extent!
The collapse of the magic network represented the destruction of the Northern Witches.
For Søren, who was now closely connected with the Northern Witch Council, it was almost like breaking one of his arms. In addition, the power of Gloria and the Fallen Witch was greatly reduced, and the impact was even more serious.
It was not easy to jump out of the magic network to cast spells.
The last time the magic network collapsed, it caused terrible damage to the spellcasters. At that time, many spellcasters still had time to adapt to the days without the magic network, but this time, it was followed by the outbreak of the Avatar Crisis. Many spellcasters had no time to adapt at all. The destruction of the Northern Witches was caused by multiple blows. The collapse of the magic network was the core of it. After all, there were only a few witches who could jump out of the magic network to cast spells. Most of the witches' talents could only be said to be relatively good.
From Søren's personal point of view.
He still hoped that the Goddess of Magic would not die. If she died, the divine communication network above the ninth layer of the magic network would also collapse, and a large number of priests in Søren's church would not be able to obtain divine spells.
But!
The death of the Goddess of Magic was full of doubts and was full of too many strangeness. It could even be said that she died suddenly.
To be honest, Søren did not believe that the Goddess of Magic died in the hands of mortals!
No matter what.
The Avatar Crisis had finally come. Søren was ready to try to contact the Goddess of Magic first, and then think about the future. Perhaps this would be a turning point in history. Søren still hoped to change the world a little.
