It was as if the world had suddenly fallen silent.
Early in the morning, the bonfire that Qian Weining had just extinguished was still emitting white smoke. Some of Qian Weining's soldiers were munching on baked biscuits, and then their chewing movements slowly stopped in a daze.
The Eyes of Truth in Ren Xiaosu's hands looked like Ferrero Balls produced by a candy company in the Middle Earth. To be honest, neither Mego nor Qian Weining had ever seen such a shocking scene.
What was the Eye of Truth? It was something that Mego's father had spent his entire life pursuing. It was the dream of 90% of the people in the Sorcerer Nation, regardless of gender or age.
One Eye of Truth represented a Sorcerer, and the Eye of Truth in Ren Xiaosu's hands was enough to bribe most of the people in the Sorcerer Nation, including Qian Weining.
Looking at the entire Sorcerer Nation, there were really not many people who could resist the temptation of the Eye of Truth.
"Sir …" Qian Weining wanted to say something but stopped. He wanted to ask where the Eye of Truth had come from and whether it was real or fake.
However, he already had the answer in his heart after combining what had happened in Winston City, so there was no need to ask.
Qian Weining had reason to believe that the 61 Eyes of Truth that the Winston family had lost should now be in the hands of Ren Xiaosu.
Ruthless, this was a truly ruthless person.
Qian Weining's palms began to sweat. He knew what these Eyes of Truth meant to him and to his brothers behind him.
At this moment, he also realized how crazy the Berkley family and the Winston family would be in order to recover these Eyes of Truth.
However, those concerns and worries could not resist the temptation in front of him.
After leaving Winston City, Qian Weining also changed into civilian clothes. Because of the hot weather, he had already unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt, so everyone could clearly see him swallowing his saliva and his protruding Adam's apple bobbing up and down.
"Sir, do you mean to give them to us as a reward?" Qian Weining asked with difficulty.
"That's right." Ren Xiaosu smiled and put the Eye of Truth back into the palace. "From today onwards, when you camp at night, Sir Meigo will teach you the method of meditation, as well as some simple Wizard language. When the time comes, you can practice with the Eye of Truth. However, before you can truly cast spells, these Eyes of Truth will be kept by me. "
Qian Weining was stunned when he heard this. "As long as we can cast spells, you will give us the Eye of Truth?"
"Of course," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "I have no need to lie to you. Let's go. Arrive at Ghent City as soon as possible. I still have business to attend to."
Qian Weining's heart was burning. "Alright, let's go now!"
It was only at this moment that Qian Weining and the others were truly willing to risk their lives.
Although he had sworn allegiance before, it was mainly to protect himself. Now, it was different. They had a new goal: to become Magi!
On the way, Chen Jingshu rode to Ren Xiaosu's side and said in a low voice, "You … Are you really going to give them the Eye of Truth?"
"Of course," Ren Xiaosu replied calmly. "We can get more in the future anyway."
Hearing this, Chen Jingshu's breath stopped for a moment. She knew what Ren Xiaosu meant when he said that they could get more in the future …
A single Eye of Truth could create a wizard. In that case, every time Ren Xiaosu obtained an Eye of Truth, it would mean the witches would lose a wizard.
If it was before, Chen Jingshu would think that Ren Xiaosu must have gone crazy. However, she could only stay silent now because Ren Xiaosu had already proven what he said with facts.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Chen Jingshu and said, "If we want to get some people, we naturally have to use both carrot and stick. Plus, they will learn the Wizard language on the way, so they won't have the energy to think about nonsense."
"But you don't have a meditation map," Chen Jingshu said. "This means that they won't be able to master high-level witchcraft."
"It's fine. It's fine as long as the Norman and Tudors have them," Ren Xiaosu replied with a smile.
When they set up camp again that night, the ingredients were quite sumptuous.
Ren Xiaosu asked Meg to use the summoning spell to summon four sheep, one fatter than the other.
Xiao Mei secretly wondered if Ren Xiaosu was really using his summoning spell as a life skill.
Chen Jingshu, An An, and the others were quite surprised to see this scene. "Is this the long-lost summoning spell?"
"Yes," Xiao Mei admitted with a toothache.
Chen Jingshu and the others held it in for a while before saying, "It's quite practical …"
Xiao Mei was speechless.
At that moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized that the two sheep people, Li Chenggong and Liu Ting, were circling around the fourth sheep that had been summoned. He was a little puzzled. "What? Do you know each other?"
Li Chenggong and Liu Ting's expressions immediately changed. "What do you mean we know each other? Why does it sound like you're scolding me?!"
They were afraid that Ren Xiaosu would bring up their unbearable past again, so they quickly hid to the side and whispered to each other.
Meanwhile, when Ren Xiaosu saw the two sheep people's reactions, he wondered if he had guessed correctly, right?!
He looked at the fourth sheep and was surprised to see the number 178 that had been burned on its buttocks with a branding iron.
Ren Xiaosu was shocked on the spot. Xiao Mei had actually summoned a sheep from Fortress 178?!
This was a fucking collective asset loss!
However, this confirmed something else for Ren Xiaosu. The things summoned by the summoning spell were indeed creatures from this world, and there was no such thing as a foreign world.
In any case, Ren Xiaosu did not believe that there would also be a sheep with the number 178 branded on its buttocks in the foreign world!
Then what did he encounter when he opened the Stargate? The other party must exist in some corner of this world.
Was it a mutated creature? Ren Xiaosu was still not very sure.
Before it got dark, Qian Weining and the others quickly started a fire to cook and set up their tents. Then they lined up in a square formation and sat in front of Xiao Mei in an orderly manner.
Xiao Mei looked at the 100-odd men in front of him. Those 100 pairs of eyes were staring at him with such intensity that it made his scalp tingle.
He looked at Ren Xiaosu for help. "I've never taught so many people before …."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Ren Xiaosu urged him, "You're going to do great things in the future. How can you not handle such a small situation?"
Chen Jingshu said from the side, "Why don't I teach them instead?"
"No." Ren Xiaosu rejected her. "Xiao Mei has to be the one to teach them."
Ren Xiaosu also had his own ideas. In the future, he was going to make Xiao Mei the director of the Northwest branch of the Daxing Organization. How could he let others train his own team at this time?
After the Sorcerer Nation was settled, Qian Weining and the others would be Xiao Mei's students. This additional layer of relationship would definitely be of some use.
If Chen Jingshu deliberately roped in Qian Weining and the others during the teaching process and caused them to lean towards the Holy Church, it was very likely that Xiao Mei would be a mere figurehead.
Who knew what the internal thinking of the Holy Church had changed after 200 years? What if they were really thirsty for power?
At this moment, Qian Weining took the lead and sat cross-legged on the ground, not caring that it was dirty.
This group of soldiers from the Burning Knight Corps sat with their backs straight. Ren Xiaosu directly handed out 60 Eyes of Truth and even gave each of these soldiers a notebook and a pen.
Ren Xiaosu reminded them, "Make sure to take notes in class. You can still study on the horse during the day! Li Chenggong, Liu Ting, from today onwards, you two are the class representatives. Remember to check everyone's notes! "
Li Chenggong, Liu Ting, and Xiao Mei were all in a daze. They looked like they were being forced to do something beyond their abilities.
Ren Xiaosu didn't care what they thought. After giving these instructions, he went to a place with no one around to study his witchcraft.
After confirming that there was no one around, Ren Xiaosu took out his black Eyes of Truth and said softly, "Daxing Northwest!"
The bright Starry Gate gradually appeared, surrounded by starfire. Witchcraft once again opened up another world for Ren Xiaosu!
At first, Ren Xiaosu was worried that there would be the roar of a ferocious beast behind the Starry Gate, but this time, it was quiet.
Ren Xiaosu looked through the Starry Gate that was half a meter in diameter, but he didn't see anything because of the angle.
Ren Xiaosu didn't even dare to breathe loudly. After all, this summoned creature didn't have any contractual spirit. If it suddenly attacked him, he might not be able to withstand it …
"Hello, is anyone there?" Ren Xiaosu asked in a low voice.
He didn't know whether the other party didn't hear him or didn't understand. Anyway, there was no movement at all on the other side of the Starry Gate.
The Starry Gate that was only half a meter in diameter was still too small, so much so that Ren Xiaosu couldn't see what was on the other side.
Moreover, the ground behind the gate was charred black after being burned, and there were dark red rugged mountain rocks.
There wasn't even a decent plant in his field of vision.
If he could see plants, Ren Xiaosu's Master-level wilderness survival skill would be able to roughly determine where the other party was.
In fact, nature could speak. There were tropical plants in the tropics, and there were temperate plants. Even the altitude of the mountain range and the availability of water determined the distribution of plants.
But now, Ren Xiaosu didn't see anything and couldn't get any useful information.
"Should I expand the Starry Gate?" Ren Xiaosu hesitated and muttered to himself.
If he wanted to expand the Starry Gate, he would have to spend Mastery Stones.
One Mastery Stone was one Gratitude Token. It was not easy to earn these Gratitude Tokens back then, and now Ren Xiaosu's heart ached to use them.
Therefore, he still hoped to choose a powerful witchcraft carefully and not waste resources on inexplicable witchcraft.
Ren Xiaosu calculated carefully. The most powerful land beasts he had seen so far were probably the six-meter brown bear brought by the expeditionary army and the Wolf King by Yan Liuyuan's side.
However, even if he could tame these two kinds of beasts, it wouldn't increase Ren Xiaosu's strength much.
The Wolf King was quite fierce, but the reason why it was so powerful was that it had a huge pack behind it. Therefore, if Ren Xiaosu only summoned a beast like the Wolf King, it would be meaningless.
Instead of squandering Mastery Stones on this kind of summoning spell, it would be better to directly make Meteorite Starfall.
However … every time Ren Xiaosu thought of the fervent roar when he opened the Starry Gate, he could not help but want to take a gamble.
"Let's use 10,000 first!" Ren Xiaosu said ruthlessly. He now had 92,000 Gratitude Tokens, 90,000 of which he could use. The remaining 2,000 would be left for Xiaojin to use as a sneak attack.
He carefully exchanged the Mastery Stones and then said to the palace, "Use all of them on the Prosper Northwest skill!"
The voice from the palace sounded in his mind, "Confirm to use 10,000 Mastery Stones on the Prosper Northwest skill?"
"Confirm!" Ren Xiaosu replied.
The next moment, the Mastery Stones that had piled up like a small hill in front of the palace's vending machine dissipated one by one, as if white lime balls had been crushed and then disappeared into the air.
Ren Xiaosu felt the changes in his body, and his mind seemed to have suddenly gained some wonderful perception. The summoning spell that he was not very familiar with now seemed to have been engraved in his bones.
At this moment, the brass typewriter in the palace suddenly began to beat. After the brass keys fell, words appeared on the pale yellow goatskin: Prosper Northwest (Proficiency 10119)
Ren Xiaosu was obviously stunned. He had only used the summoning spell twice from the beginning to the end, so why wasn't the proficiency 10002?
Wait, could it be that the Prosper Northwest skill that he had talked about when he fooled people earlier was also counted?
It seemed like other than this guess, there was no other explanation, right?
Ren Xiaosu did not know whether to laugh or cry. If he had known earlier, he would have talked about Prosper Northwest every day. Perhaps he could have saved more Gratitude Tokens.
However, according to Xiaomei, practicing a few hundred times would not result in a qualitative change. It might just be a few centimeters longer on the Stargate? Therefore, there was no obvious difference in the size of Ren Xiaosu's and Meg's Stargate.
Ren Xiaosu was very curious about one thing. If Big Bluff mastered the witchcraft of "Prosper Northwest", how big of a Stargate would he open?
One had to know that Big Bluff had been talking about Prosper Northwest for most of his life.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu decided to leave a better Eye of Truth for Big Bluff.
Of course, he was not sure if he was the only one like this or if everyone was like this. Ren Xiaosu always felt that everything related to supernatural powers seemed special to him.
At this moment, the Stargate had suddenly expanded from a diameter of half a meter to a diameter of three meters.
Ren Xiaosu stared blankly at the gorgeous Stargate. There was a behemoth resting on the scorched land.
However, even if the Stargate had expanded to a diameter of three meters, Ren Xiaosu could not see the other party's head. With a diameter of three meters, he could only see half of the other party's head!
The lizard-like creature had dark red rugged skin. When it breathed, there was even fire constantly blooming.
It turned out that the dark red he saw just now was not a rugged mountain rock at all, but the skin of this amazing creature!
Ren Xiaosu swore that he had never seen such a terrifying thing in his life. If this thing's head was about six meters, how big was its body?
He gently touched the Star Door, only to find that his palm could not pass through it. Instead, it was blocked by an invisible force.
It seemed that this Stargate was one-way. He could only come from the opposite side, but he could not go through himself.
Just as Ren Xiaosu was thinking, the terrifying creature's eyes suddenly opened. In the yellow amber eyes, there was a vertical pupil that was like an abyss!
The eyes stared at Ren Xiaosu, but it did not roar, nor did it move next.
Ren Xiaosu was so shocked that he immediately took four or five steps back and closed the Stargate at the same time.
"Is this really not a creature from another world?" Ren Xiaosu said to himself with lingering fear. He thought that even the radiation pollution during the Cataclysm should not have given birth to such a terrifying thing, right?
Moreover, the problem with his summoning technique was too big. Xiao Mei summoned a creature of the same size as the Stargate. Why did a creature that was several times bigger than the Stargate appear here?
As he thought about it, for some reason, Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that the creature was a little familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen it.
This feeling was too strange.
…
In the night sky, a huge turquoise was quickly approaching the camp where Qian Weining and the others were. Its sharp eyes were staring at the humans around the campfire below.
A hundred kilometers away, the tens of thousands of troops of the Tudor Knight Regiment had set up camp. In the endless camp, there was a brazier every ten steps. The warm orange light swayed in the night, and from time to time, patrolling soldiers in armor would shuttle back and forth.
In the camp, the tents made of canvas were the temporary dormitories of the soldiers. There was a strange smell of blood in the tents because many parts of the tents were smeared with sheep's oil.
In the center of the camp, five or six huge tents seemed a little out of place. Every time the patrolling soldiers passed by, they would cast a look of awe.
This was because there was a real Great Wizard in each of the tents.
At this time, there were several Wizards standing solemnly in the tent of the Tudor Knight Regiment's military camp. After more than ten oil candles burned in the tents, they gave off a strange fragrance. It seemed that the candles had been mixed with expensive spices.
The Wizards were wearing exquisite black Wizard robes, and each of their sleeves was embroidered with a white turquoise, which looked very lifelike.
There was a transparent ice mirror in front of them that was as tall as a person, and the scene in the mirror was that of Ren Xiaosu and the others' camp.
The mirror was condensed from ice, and the huge mirror was still emitting surging cold air. It looked extremely mysterious and strange.
The mirror's perspective was in the sky, quietly overlooking everything on the ground.
A middle-aged Wizard looked at Qian Weining and the others in the mirror and suddenly wondered, "What are they doing?"
All the Magi stared at the mirror, only to see Qian Weining and the others sitting upright on the ground, their hands gesticulating as they scribbled something.
"A book and a pen. That little Wizard is talking non-stop about something," one of the Wizards said curiously. "It's like he's researching some secret."
"I feel like they're listening to a lecture," one of the Wizards said with a frown.
"Haha, listening to a lecture in the middle of a battlefield in the wilderness?" Another Wizard laughed and said, "Who would have nothing better to do than to give a lecture and listen to a lecture in a place like this?"
"Then what are they doing …"
The scene transmitted by the turquoise had stumped the Wizards. No one knew what Qian Weining and the others were doing.
The Great Wizard who was the leader said coldly, "Don't worry about what they're doing. According to the previous information, they should be the group that just left Winston City. The person who passed the information said that they're going to the Norman family, but I don't think they're going in the right direction. They're going to bump into our Vanguard Knight Squad soon."
"That's right. Why are they here?" someone asked doubtfully.
The turquoise was flying in the sky to scout for the Vanguard Squad, but in the end, they discovered a small group of troublemakers blocking the Vanguard Squad's way.
"Lower down," the Great Wizard ordered. "See what they're doing. Also, confirm if Mego is in this group. Mego is someone the patriarch has ordered to be killed. I thought we wouldn't be able to meet them since they've gone to the Norman family, but I didn't expect them to deliver themselves to the sword. "
"Yes, Sir. I'll control the turquoise to fly a little lower," a Wizard at the side said respectfully.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden change. A roar came from below the turquoise like a sudden clap of thunder in the night sky. A long and narrow sniper bullet arrived in the blink of an eye, blasting the turquoise in the sky into pieces of ice.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the falling ice cubes and sneered. This was probably another trick of the Dudor family. If he had to say, the Dudor family really liked the turquoise. If it were any other bird flying in the sky, he would not have shot it.
However, with the speed of the turquoise's flight, his current marksmanship would allow him to hit it accurately.
As the turquoise, which was constructed by witchcraft, was destroyed, the mirror in the Dudor camp also shattered.
For a moment, the Wizard who cast the spell felt like his head was about to split open. It was as if something was tumbling violently in his mind.
"What's going on?" The leader of the Wizards asked with a solemn expression, "What broke your witchcraft?"
"I don't know. There were no signs at all, and I didn't see who did it at all. No one in the camp even looked at me," the Wizard gasped while holding his head.
"Just as the patriarch said, there's something fishy about this Mego." The Great Wizard waved his hand. "Help him down to rest. Also, Holler, lead the team to meet up with the vanguard in case the other party has a backup plan."
"Yes, Sir," a middle-aged Wizard answered respectfully, then turned around and walked out of the big tent with a few people. Outside, there were already some attendants and servants who had prepared the warhorses for them. Holler had also specially brought two Wizards who were good at wind binding spells to speed up the meeting up.
Ren Xiaosu had just returned to the camp at this moment. The sound of the sniper's gunshot had already alerted Xiao Mei and Xiao Qian. Everyone looked at Ren Xiaosu and asked, "What happened?"
"We seem to have collided with the marching route of the Tudor Knight Regiment," Ren Xiaosu said nonchalantly.
Xiao Mei and Xiao Qian panicked when they heard this. "What? The Tudor Knight Regiment? Then let's hurry up and run, shall we? "
"Why run?" Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows. "Isn't this the Eye of Truth that came knocking on our door?"
Xiao Mei complained, "Do you subconsciously replace the Eye of Truth when you see a Wizard now?"
"What else?" Ren Xiaosu laughed happily. "Qian Weining has 192 people on his side, and we only have 64 Eye of Truth in our hands. There's still a big gap."
Qian Weining was stunned for a long time when he heard this. He suddenly felt that the first Wizard Knight Regiment in the Wizard Kingdom might have appeared.
