"As for the strongest Gray Merchant …" Dorcas raised his head like a rooster and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. "Your Lord Red Sword, of course!"
"…"
"You just want to fight Gray Merchant, don't you?" Wade looked at Dorcas who was still laughing.
Dorcas said with a solemn expression, "This isn't a matter of whether you want to or not. This is a battle of fate."
"A battle of destiny?" Karel raised his head and looked at Dorcas in confusion. Has Lord Red Sword met Grey Merchant before? Why else would there be a battle of destiny?
Dorcas nodded. "That's right. We're destined to fight."
Kael was getting more and more confused.
At this moment, Wa Yi reminded, "The Declaration of Wheat."
Kael was surprised. "Lord Red Sword is a supporter of the Declaration of Wheatfield?"
Wa Yi curled his lips and nodded in disdain.
A look of understanding appeared on Kael's face, "So that's the case. No wonder Lord Red Sword said it's a battle of destiny … "
Wade didn't hesitate. "He's too excited right now. If he thinks Gray Merchant is stronger than him, he'll give up right away."
He didn't understand why Dorcas was talking about the Fated War, but he didn't know why Dorcas was talking about it either. He thought Wade would explain, but Kael already knew what was going on after hearing the Declaration of Wheatfield.
But Angor still didn't understand the reason.
Angor wasn't someone who cared too much about his reputation. When it was time to ask, he wouldn't hesitate to ask.
The Wise Overseer also looked at him curiously. "The Declaration of Wheatfield? Is that an oath from somewhere?"
Hearing their question, the Black Count turned to look at them and sighed in his heart: This old and young one...
Angor was too young to know about the Declaration of Wheatfield. The Wise Overseer, on the other hand, was too old to leave the underground sewers.
The Black Earl silently cursed, but he did not explain. He did not need to explain such things. Besides, since Angor already asked, someone else was going to answer first.
Indeed, the person who rushed to answer the question had already stood up quickly.
"The Declaration of Wheatfield is actually the declaration of Wheatfield Square …"
Following Vael's explanation, both Angor and the Wise Overseer learned about the meaningless declaration.
If one were to ask which world the World of Adepts had the closest relationship with, the answer would undoubtedly be the Abyss.
However, if one were to ask which world bloodline adepts had the closest relationship with, it would not be the Abyss, but the Desolate World, which was filled with barbarians.
There was even a rather prosperous supernatural city built by Magi in the Barbarian World — the Floating City.
Of course, the Floating City wasn't just built by bloodline adepts. It was a capital city of another world built by various major adept organizations.
There were Magi from all three major organizations in Floating City. However, the Bloodline Magi had the absolute advantage. Seven out of ten Magi were Bloodline Magi.
The main reason was that most Bloodline Adepts liked to engage in close combat, while the Barbarians and Wild Gods of the Barbarian World were all experts in close combat. — — This was Wa Yi's own words. According to Dorcas' explanation, the main reason was that the Savage World had many bloodline tributaries that were very suitable for bloodlines. Angor couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong.
Regardless of the dispute, the Floating City did provide Bloodline Magi with a safe place to stay after a battle.
There were four famous squares in the Floating City, which were called the Four Seasons Square. They were named: Daybreak, Midsummer, Wheatfield, and Woodland Deer.
The Wheatfield Declaration was a declaration made by a Bloodline Magus in the Wheatfield Square.
Although it was called a declaration, most wizards only treated it as a "joke" or an "interesting story". Professional magazines would not publish it. Angor never heard of it before.
To be specific, a pure-blood wizard named Najir made a statement in the Wheatfield Square that belittled and discriminated against all Bloodline Magi.
Basically, he said that Bloodline Magi were a disgrace to all Bloodline Magi, that they could never seek the truth, and that they should not be included in the mainstream. Bloodline Apprentices should never join the Bloodline Branch … and so on.
There was no doubt that these statements were wrong. If Bloodline Magi chose the wrong path, they would not have become one of the three main branches of Bloodline Magi.
Becoming a mainstream branch meant that there was a complete path that could lead to miracles.
This was a path left behind by countless predecessors. If you really wanted to question it, you had to at least become a miracle. Otherwise, if you started talking about the "truth" of an ordinary wizard, you would become a laughingstock.
Besides, he preferred the Bloodline Lineage to the other mainstream Bloodline Schools.
The three main branches of Bloodline Magi were Bloodline, Pureblood, and Modification.
Bloodline Magi focused on the purity of their bloodline. They would advance by strengthening a certain type of bloodline. Therefore, they would be very careful when choosing a bloodline.
Pureblood Magi would not choose from a single type of bloodline. Instead, they would choose the most suitable bloodline for themselves at different stages. They were called Pureblood because every time they changed their bloodline, they would go through a thorough purification process. It was best to purify their bloodline until there were no impurities. This was the meaning of Pureblood.
Modification, as the name suggested, focused on the pursuit of supernatural organs. At the same time, there were many types of bloodlines in the body. Through special methods, they could achieve a balance between different bloodlines. They had many strange abilities, but it was difficult to achieve a balance between different bloodlines all the time. The lower limit was high, while the upper limit was narrow. However, this was also the first choice of many non-Bloodline Magi who wanted to learn other branches. Sunders' scythe arm of a phantom mantis, Angor's Soft Worm skin … They all belonged to Modification.
These were the three main branches of Bloodline Magi. In terms of Bloodline Magi, Bloodline Magi was more favored by Angor. His projected bloodline was very similar to Bloodline Magi. However, the projected bloodline was not "the same type" of bloodline. Therefore, the projected bloodline could also be considered as a branch of Bloodline Magi. It was just that no one knew about it yet.
From the different branches of the Bloodline Faction, it could be seen that the direction they walked in was actually very different from each other.
As a result, the internal disputes between Bloodline Adepts had never been reduced.
As for the declaration in Wheatfield Square, it was just a way for a pureblood wizard to vent his anger against a Bloodline Magi.
Normal wizards would not even give it a second look.
But why did the declaration of wheat fields this time cause such an uproar and become famous for a time? It even spread back to the wizarding world from the Wildlands.
This was because the identity of this pure-blooded Magus, Najir, was slightly different. He was a … wandering Magus.
Among the wandering Magi, as long as they chose the bloodline path, almost 90% of them were either pure-blooded or modified. Very few of them chose Bloodline Magi.
The reason was simple. It was not that they did not want to, but that they could not afford it.
Bloodline Magi would be very careful when choosing a bloodline. It had to be "the same type", and this type of bloodline had the potential to grow. Preferably, this type of bloodline had once produced a legendary creature.
It was easy to imagine that Bloodline Magi required a large amount of resources, and it was not a one-time investment. It required continuous, long-term investment to get the best results.
Wandering adepts, on the other hand, were mostly poor. Going down the path of bloodline would only make their already poor lives even worse.
Simply put, they were poor!
Those who chose Bloodline Magi might not all be rich, but they were definitely the majority.
Thus, Najir's declaration in Wheatfield Square resonated with many wandering wizards, even if it was not worth mentioning and could only be treated as a joke.
Dorcas was one of those who had been influenced by the declaration.
The so-called internal conflict between pureblood and bloodline Magi, if expressed in secular terms, was a classic case of hatred for the rich.
"So don't try to persuade me. I must personally deal with the grey merchants. This is a duel of fate, and a battle between men. "After Vay finished his declaration, Dorcas began to clamor again.
"Others might not even want to fight you. Maybe it's just wishful thinking." Vay ridiculed Dorcas in the face of his hot-bloodedness.
The Wise Ruler revealed an expression of understanding, "So that's how it is … In the past, Bloodline Magi and Pureblood Magi were on the same side, and they both had large conflicts with the Modification Magi. I didn't think that Bloodline Magi and Pureblood Magi would have such a conflict."
Vay replied, "Lord Ruler, you misunderstand. This is a single point of hatred between pureblood wandering Magi. Bloodline Magi don't actually have any opinions about Pureblood Magi."
Although Bloodline Magi believed that Bloodline Magi were the most superior, this was a normal attitude. For example, in the study of tooling, the Synthesis Magi believed that they were better than the Enchantment Magi, but the Enchantment Magi felt that the Synthesis Magi were inflexible, and that the Enchantment Magi were easier to enchant. This was actually a kind of subjective bias: the theories I study are definitely the best.
Although they had this sense of superiority, Bloodline Magi also agreed with some of the ideas of Pureblood Magi. In particular, the Bloodline Purification Technique and the Bloodline Purification Technique were compulsory techniques for Bloodline Magi. Moreover, the most important technique for Bloodline Magi was the purification of bloodlines. It was also created by the predecessors of Pureblood Magi.
Therefore, Bloodline Magi agreed with most of the ideas of Pureblood Magi.
On the contrary, as the Wise Ruler had said, Bloodline Magi were even more disgusted with Modification Magi. This was because Modification Magi and Bloodline Magi were polar opposites of each other. This was why Bloodline Magi and Modification Magi were always at odds with each other when it came to a conflict of ideas, no matter the occasion.
This was how Bloodline Magi worked. It might seem chaotic, but this was the norm in the wizarding world. Not only Bloodline Magi, Occult Magi, and Elemental Magi all had conflicting ideas.
"I don't care if Grey Merchant has a problem with Pureblood Magi or not. If I say this is a battle of fate, it's a battle of fate!" Dorcas insisted on "arguing" with Grey Merchant.
Angor didn't really care. There were only two Bloodline Magi in front of him, so he could fight either of them.
However, he still wanted to ask, "What bloodline did Grey Merchant choose?"
The Wise Ruler considered for a moment. "I can't tell. It might be a bloodline that was developed in the last ten thousand years. But I can show you what he looks like after activating his bloodline."
With that, the Wise Ruler reached out to grab some illusion nodes to create an illusion. However, he soon realized that he couldn't use any of them.
The Wise Ruler once fought against a truth-finder illusionist. Even when he was trapped in the illusions set up by the illusionist, some of the nodes were still weak enough to be manipulated by the Wise Ruler.
But now, he couldn't even use a single illusion node in Angor's extravagant castle hall.
Was Angor's spirit so strong that he could control all of the illusion nodes?
While the Wise Ruler was still wondering, Angor cleared his throat and tapped the table with a finger. Following that, a regular structure of illusion nodes appeared in front of the Wise Ruler.
Angor didn't need to explain. The Wise Ruler already knew that he only needed to use his spirit to manipulate the nodes to create any illusion he wanted.
But the Wise Ruler was still puzzled. Why didn't Angor's illusions have any weak nodes?
The Wise Ruler gave Angor a thoughtful look but didn't ask anything. After all, they had signed a contract and were now on the same side. Probing too deeply into each other's abilities might lead to conflict.
Since he had a ready-made illusion, the Wise Ruler didn't hesitate. He reached out a finger and stirred the air.
An illusion appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
If the Wise Ruler didn't tell them that the illusion belonged to Gray Merchant, they wouldn't be able to see the shadow of Gray Merchant. Or rather, the shadow of a human.
Although it was humanoid, its entire body was covered in crystals. A large number of yellow crystals formed a sharp angular armor. Its head was also covered in yellow crystals, leaving only a pair of blood-red eyes filled with hostility. There were also two blood-red horns on its forehead. Upon closer inspection, it was also made of crystals.
And this was only its upper body. The lower half of its body was even more ridiculous. Its body was already as sturdy as a small mountain. Now, its legs were as thick and big as an elephant's. The thicker part was the diameter, the thicker part was the coverage of the crystals, and the bigger part was the muscles that even the crystals couldn't cover.
Behind him, there was a tail made of yellow crystals that looked very powerful.
Generally speaking, it looked more like a human than a crystal monster.
"This is what Gray Merchant looks like after activating his bloodline. I don't know what kind of bloodline it is. Have you seen it before?"
After a moment of silence, Dorcas swallowed his saliva and asked, "How much bloodline did he activate?"
The Wise Ruler considered for a moment. "Initial form, I guess."
Dorcas didn't know what to say.
Dorcas looked at Angor and hesitated. In the end, he turned to the Dark Earl. "I … I haven't recovered my talent yet. I'm at a disadvantage in this fight. How about you go up? "
The Dark Earl humphed but didn't say anything.
Vaey covered his mouth and laughed out loud.
The Wise Ruler looked at Dorcas in confusion. Weren't you going to fight him? Why did you suddenly back off?
Before the Wise Ruler could understand, the Dark Earl gave him an answer.
"The initial bloodline that Hui Shang chose was the famous Crystal Earthworm Lizard of the Desolate Savage World. It was a bloodline that had been purified and developed thousands of years ago. The moment it was born, it leaped into the top bloodline of the bloodline."
"The Crystal Lizard isn't strong, but its bloodline has been thoroughly developed. It's said that a Bloodline Wizard from the Origin World has already developed it to the sixth stage."
By "developed", the Wise Ruler was looking for a bloodline similar to the Crystal Lizard. This was a type of continuation of the bloodline. The success rate was higher and the power was stronger.
The sixth stage meant finding a level-six bloodline similar to the Crystal Lizard.
Different bloodlines had different strengths and weaknesses, but generally speaking, a level-four bloodline was enough to become a legendary wizard. The sixth stage … was unimaginable.
"Gray Merchant has entered the second stage, the Gem Dragon bloodline. He can choose an Abyss Dragon or a Savage Dragon from the Wild Gods. For the fourth stage, he can choose a Void Rainbow Dragon. As for what comes after that, I don't know. "The Dark Earl explained the evolution path of the Crystal Lizard bloodline.
The Wise Ruler didn't know much about the Gem Dragon, but he was familiar with the Abyss Dragon and Void Rainbow Dragon. The Abyss Dragon had the potential to become a legendary wizard. As for the Void Rainbow Dragon, it was a mature dragon that would reach the legendary level.
The Wise Ruler had a general idea about the strength of such bloodlines.
So Dorcas changed his mind because his opponent's bloodline was too strong?
