Hearing the name 'Azedine Serpent' from Marguerite, Connor seemed to have understood something.
The word 'Azedine' in the ancient Byzantine language meant bloodthirsty and devouring. The Azedine Serpent was not a commonly seen magical beast. Connor had only seen records of this snake type magical beast in ancient texts. In the records, Azedine Serpents roamed the depths of the earth and loved to devour carrion. Not only that, they were also extremely greedy for the blood of living creatures.
In terms of strength, an Azedine Serpent in its infancy was equivalent to a Magus or a beginner Apprentice Magus. Like what Marguerite had said, an adult Azedine Serpent was equivalent to an intermediate Apprentice Magus. Although their individual strength was not high, Azedine Serpents were social animals. Once they appeared, they would appear in groups of at least ten or a hundred.
At the same time, an Azedine Serpent was a type of magical beast with extremely high offensive capabilities. As long as a living creature appeared in its vicinity, regardless of whether it was a threat or not, it would attack out of its greed for blood and flesh. The high offensive capabilities of an Azedine Serpent were not only targeted at enemies, but also their own kind. An Azedine Serpent, from infancy to adulthood, was a history of slaughter. They had to kill their enemies as well as their own kind. A Magus had done an experiment and found that out of five Azedine Serpents, only one would mature.
According to what Marguerite had said, there were over a hundred adult Azedine Serpents in the second level of the underground palace. That meant that there were at least five to six hundred Azedine Serpents in the entire second level of the underground palace. Even if an official Magus were to face such a large number of Azedine Serpents, it would be easy for them to fail miserably!
Seeing that Connor did not speak after explaining the situation of the underground palace, Marguerite, who understood Connor's character very well, naturally understood what he was thinking. After fiercely rolling her eyes at Connor, she said, "I know that on the surface, the risk of having you accompany me to the second level of the underground palace is much greater than having me help you kill people. However, Connor, you should understand that although there are many Azedine Serpents in the second level of the underground palace, as long as we use the right method and make sufficient preparations, we still have a chance!"
"Apart from these Azedine Serpents, are there any other dangers in the second level of the underground palace that you want to go to?" Connor asked in a deep voice.
"There should be another restriction!" Marguerite thought for a moment before replying to Connor. her tone was a little hesitant, as if she wasn't very certain of her words.
"If there is, then there is, if there is, then there is...... .. "Connor was a little dissatisfied with Marguerite's words. How could she not be certain of such an important matter?
"It's like this. I obtained a blueprint of the underground palace from an elder, and from this elder, I learned that there is a group of Azedine Serpents living in the periphery of the second level of the underground palace, and there are some restrictions in the core area of the second level! However, after I entered the second level of the underground palace and encountered the Azedine Serpents, I was not prepared, so I did not break through the periphery of the Azedine Serpents and enter the core area of the second level of the underground palace. Therefore, I am not certain if those restrictions exist! "Marguerite explained to Connor.
Hearing Marguerite's explanation, Connor frowned again. If it was only a group of Azedine Serpents, in order to get Marguerite to help him kill Old Victor, it was not impossible for him to accompany her to the second level of the underground palace! Marguerite was right. As long as the method was right and the preparations were sufficient, it was not impossible to pass through the group of Azedine Serpents!
According to the ancient records, the Azedine Serpents relied on their sensitive sense of smell to detect their enemies. As long as they released a little bit of their aura, the group of Azedine Serpents would discover their existence. However, if they did not smell their aura, they would not be able to detect any clues even if they were one meter away from them! In order to prevent the Azedine Serpents from smelling anything, Connor thought of two ways!
The first was to think of a way to completely restrain his aura. Without his aura, the Azedine Serpents would naturally not be able to smell him. However, there was a fundamental problem with this method, and that was to completely restrain his aura. Connor could do it, but he would not be able to do it for more than a minute. One minute, no matter how frugal his plan was, would not be enough!
The second method was to prevent the Azedine Serpents from smelling his aura. Since he couldn't completely restrain his aura for a long time, he could consider using the Azedine Serpents!
Connor could try refining a kind of poison bomb that could release a strong irritating smoke. Before entering the second floor of the underground palace, he would throw a few poison bombs into the second floor to fill it with poisonous smoke. Then, he and Marguerite would wear masks and enter the second floor. With the help of the poisonous smoke, the Azedine Serpents' sense of smell would basically be crippled. At that time, as long as he and Marguerite were careful, it would not be impossible for them to pass through the periphery of the second floor of the underground palace and enter the core area of the second floor.
From a technical point of view, with Connor's alchemy skills, there were no technical difficulties in refining the poison bomb using the second method. As long as Connor was willing, he could make the poison bomb in three to four days.
Even if the poison bomb did not work, Connor, who was an expert in refining alchemy bombs, could use alchemy bombs to deal with the Azedine Serpents. The Azedine Serpents lived deep underground and liked cold and humid places. Heat was their natural nemesis. Once the alchemy bomb exploded, it would release enough light and heat to deal with the Azedine Serpents! Therefore, a group of hundreds of Azedine Serpents might look scary, but it was not impossible to deal with them!
But now, in addition to the Azedine Serpents, there was also some bullsh * t restriction, which made Connor feel a little …
Marguerite seemed to have seen through Connor's plan. A hint of hesitation flashed through her beautiful eyes, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and continued to speak to Connor, "I'll be honest with you. In the core area of the second floor of the underground palace, there is something that I must get my hands on. It has something to do with … the blood witchcraft that I practice!"
Connor glanced at Marguerite with some surprise. He did not expect that the underground palace would have something to do with the blood witchcraft that Marguerite mastered. But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be reasonable. Judging from Marguerite's attitude towards the underground palace, it seemed to be very important to her, which coincided with the blood witchcraft!
