Cadgar was supposed to be the Third Great Mage who could destroy the heavens and the earth.
In history, he would often single-handedly blow up bridges, block dams, and cause chaos to the Iron Horde that was created by the Brainless Roar that ran away.
Looking at Khadgar's translucent face, which was still young because of his early death, Duque felt a little guilty.
But … this was fate!
If not for Duque, perhaps he would still be as powerful as he was in history. Since Duque had taken over his fate and done better than him, Khadgar could only do so.
If not for Duque needing an arcane Elemental Emissary to break through to the Demigod level, Khadgar would probably still be a pitiful earthbound spirit in Karazhan.
Managing the library and fighting the occasional invading monsters — this was Khadgar's unchanging life.
His translucent spirit body was clad in solid cloth armor, and he did look a little out of place. Soon, this would not be a problem.
Lightly putting down the magic weapon in his hand, Khadgar pressed his hands to the ground and made a standard bow. "Great Archmage — My Lord, Duke Marcus! Your loyal servant, Khadgar, has come to pay his respects. "
The once young mage's voice was now filled with indescribable excitement.
He had been dead for too long, so long that he had almost forgotten how it felt to be alive.
This did not mean that he did not want to be resurrected. Not in the form of a filthy undead, but as some kind of life, to truly reappear in the world, just like his master, Medivh.
Resurrection was the privilege of the gods!
One had to at least step into the Demigod level to have the right to discuss this issue.
Now, in front of him was a chance to become Duque's Elemental Emissary and become an elemental creature, just like Batdius and Alonsos!
Sitting on the throne, listening to Khadgar's sincere greeting, Duque felt a strange sense of absent-mindedness. He felt as if he and Khadgar had been reversed.
If Khadgar had not died, or if he, Duque, had been more capable twenty years ago and had discovered a cultivation method specifically for ghosts, would Khadgar have had a better life?
Fine! There was no point in making assumptions.
Duque sighed softly.
Since it was already like this in this life, there was no need for him to feel ashamed.
I've never seen such a shameless person before. Yes, I've seen it today. Duque then put on a serious face and slightly raised his chin. "Khadgar! How many years have you served me in the form of a heroic spirit? "
Cadgar lowered his head deeply. "It has been 22 years, my Lord! All this time, I have been doing my best to fulfill the duties of a servant and help you protect Karazhan. "
Duque raised his right hand, and a pair of Arcane Palms appeared out of thin air, helping Karthika up.
Cadgar stood up, still maintaining his slightly bowed posture.
"Very good! I can see how loyal you are. I've always felt sorry for your tragic fate. " Duque cleared his throat and continued, "I've always believed that the reason why people are noble is because they have the desire for knowledge, the desire to explore, and the courage to fight against fate! Tell me, Khadgar, are you willing to be a Ghost Mage forever? "
Khadgar took a deep breath, even though this action was meaningless to a ghost. "If this is your will, my Lord, I will accept it."
The corner of Duque's mouth rose. Unknowingly, Khadgar had already learned so many ways to speak. Back then, he had still been a hothead …
Perhaps, this was what growth was like! Age and circumstances would always smooth out one's edges.
"Right now, I have a better and more dangerous choice for you — you can choose to become my Arcane Elemental Emissary and help me control the power of the Arcane Domain! But the price is that from the moment you agree, you will become a special lifeform attached to me. If I die, or fail to become a Demigod, you will be like me — Soul! Fly! Soul! Disperse! Do you understand what I've said? "
Faced with Duque's question, Khadgar nodded again and said solemnly, "Very clearly!"
That's right, if he maintained his current state, Duque would definitely let him continue to be the administrator of Karazhan. But so what? With Duque's immortal state, unless Duque died in battle, waiting for the next ruler of Karazhan was something that would never happen.
If Khadgar could not even grasp this opportunity and did not have the courage to do so, how could he rise in the future?
Without even half a second of hesitation, Khadgar raised his head and said in a clear voice, "If this is the choice you give me, my Lord, then I will choose — to fight with all my strength. I hope to become a higher and stronger lifeform and help you, my Lord! "
A smile blossomed on Duque's face. "Very good! This is the Khadgar I know, the one who never lacks wisdom and dares to challenge himself! "
Duque stood up and slowly walked down the stairs made of the purest arcane energy. He raised his right hand, his palm facing Khadgar's forehead.
"Khadgar, what I am about to do is different from the other Elemental Emissaries. You know that. Arcane magic is the most basic and important core of the three elements of a mage. Thus, I will modify your soul so that your new form will be completely connected to my magic circuit. Your soul will be an extension of my magic circuit! And you will become the core commander of the other Elemental Emissaries. I'm not afraid to tell you that this process will be very painful! "
In a sense, to use an inaccurate analogy, if Duke was a complete iPhone N smartphone, then an ordinary Elemental Emissary would most likely become an existence equivalent to a power bank in normal times. They would help Duque communicate with the Elemental Realm, absorbing and filtering more elemental energy for Duque to use.
However, Cadgar would become Duke's auxiliary chip, RAM, and power bank, a special existence that combined all of these functions into one. He would be able to use magic to attack enemies for Duque, but he would also be like a command tower.
Duque would even give Khadgar a portion of the System Elf's computing power. Because recently, the System Elf had finally reached its limit. When calculating the trajectory of the warship wreckage in the atmosphere, Duque felt a wave of fatigue …
Faced with Duque's physique, Khadgar's reply was resolute. "I can endure it!"
Indeed, only someone as talented as Cadgar would be able to withstand this pressure.
"Then let's begin!" Duque's palm lightly pressed against Khadgar's forehead.
As his palm felt a slight chill, a large amount of magical information began to rush into Khadgar's sea of consciousness!
"Ugh!" Khadgar let out a muffled groan.
