Lord of Arcane

Chapter 938
The south shore of Lake Mecht.

A tall young woman with a good face is looking indifferently at the Meht Lake in the north, which is shrouded in a green glow.

The rustling north wind kept blowing Jenna's bright golden fluffy long hair behind her. Even though the wind was mixed with the strong fishy smell of the murlocs, she was not moved at all.

Suddenly, a vigorous figure rushed out of the green light wrapped in thin clouds. Jenna, who was originally standing like a statue standing on the shore, saw the figure clearly, and her indifferent expression instantly melted, and she became more alive breath.

But she didn't move, and only after Xia Duo fell from the air, she took the initiative to speak: "Lord Xia Duo, how is the situation inside? Where is Master Byron?"

Originally, Xia Duo wanted to ask President Jenna how long it had been outside, but Jenna asked first, and he didn't mind answering first:
"It's full of murlocs, it feels like it's filled with an entire ocean! Master Byron may still have something to do in it—"

Before Xia Duo finished speaking, a familiar figure landed beside him, it was Master Byron who had just left from the mystical lock.

"President Jenna, how long have I been in?" Perhaps because of the commonality of spellcasters, Master Byron also thought of the issue of time when he came out.

"Master, you and Lord Xia Duo went in for about half a quarter, and Lord Xia Duo came out only two sentences earlier than you!"

Jenna's answer was concise and clear. Master Byron nodded slightly, and then said to Xia Duo: "Lord Xia Duo, I will cast a spell to destroy the mystical lock. To be safe, you should go back to Savile Town first, and just tell other people , don’t panic if you see any vision in a while!”

"Yes!"

Xia Duo saluted and was about to leave, but suddenly looked at President Jenna, and President Jenna just nodded slightly, even with a slight smile, but her body did not move at all.

This made Xia Duo a little embarrassed. He originally wanted to be courteous and invited President Jenna to leave together. After all, Master Byron had already said everything, just to be on the safe side.

But the other party's reaction was obviously not about to leave, and Master Byron did not express any objection. Xia Duo understood now that it is really not easy for President Jenna to get the approval of the Grand Arcanist!

So Xia Duo had to leave alone.

……

And just after Xia Duo left, Jenna suddenly said, "What a funny little guy!"

"It's also a little guy with potential!"

Byron responded with a smile, then restrained his smile, and asked Jenna: "Have you contacted Severton? What did High Priest Morton say?"

"I just contacted, High Priest Morton has already agreed, but he wants the Death Stone in your collection!"

"What is the Death Stone, isn't it just a better-quality black crystal, I can give it to him if he wants it." Byron said nonchalantly.

But he changed the subject and said: "However——

The murloc tide is not my personal matter, but an official matter that will have a profound impact on Netheril. The Severton Council will pay him for this attack. As for the so-called Death Stone, if he wants, Take the holy deed of resurrection in exchange! "

The Death Stone, or smoky crystal, is at best a special gemstone with abundant energy for the orthodox Nether mages.

But also because it is full of negative energy, only a few spellcasters who study negative energy need it, but for the death priest who advocates the concept of "returning death to death", sacrificing such gems can gain divine grace.

And this is also the origin of the name [Death Stone].

As for the [Holy Deed of Resurrection], it is the means to truly resurrect the dead, and it is also the ultimate ability of the death priest.

Of course, the resurrection of the dead largely violates the idea of ​​"giving death to death", so it requires a lot of divine grace.

As for whether the divine grace obtained by sacrificing the Death Stone can make up for the consumption of the [Sacrifice of Resurrection], only the death priest who has mastered the resurrection magic can know.

It is difficult for outsiders, even the death priests who have not mastered the magic of resurrection, to figure out the doorway here just by imagination, which is why Byron opened his mouth to ask for the [Holy Deed of Resurrection].

It does not rule out the meaning of curiosity and temptation.

Hearing Byron's request, Jenna couldn't help shaking her head, "Master, High Priest Morton will not agree to such a deal."

"If you don't agree, forget it. It's because he doesn't want to, not me!"

But at the end of the story, Byron seemed to have thought of something, his expression became a little lonely, he waved his hand, and said casually:
"Forget it, don't bother with him, and see how the murloc wave is handled. If I am satisfied, then it's okay to give him the broken stone!"

This time, Jenna didn't answer, but just looked at Byron in a daze, with a little sentimentality in her eyes.

"Okay, don't look at me like that, make me feel like I'm going to die tomorrow, Mr. Conjenio, how could I die so easily, and wait for my old friend's research on the longevity technique Come out, maybe I outlive you!"

Master Byron's joke-like words made Jenna burst out laughing, and she thought of Master Conjenio, who was often called "Old Immortal" in private.

That person is now close to five hundred years old, and from his rise to the present, he has lost countless younger generations. Even though he is about to step down as the president of the Austrian Law Federation, no one has ever doubted that his life is coming to an end.

As for the longevity technique that Iolum is researching, it is said that it has been highly praised by Master Conjenio himself, and Iolum was appointed as the president of the Arcane Federation. Jenna doesn't know if there is any consideration in this regard up.

However, Jenna knew that the life of Master Byron, who had no name as a teacher and student with her, but was indeed a teacher and student, was indeed coming to an end, although this end was still a long period of time compared to ordinary people. years.

But for a powerful spellcaster, the visible end of life, no matter how far away it is from now, is extremely cruel.

Jenna can hardly imagine the feeling of watching herself go to death day by day, and because of this, she especially respects Master Byron who can see death as the way home.

……

Back to the topic, Byron continued to ask: "When will High Priest Morton start to act?"

"I don't know about this, but Shia knows the situation here, so she should make arrangements as soon as possible."

"I see, then let's destroy the mysteries here first."

After finishing speaking, Byron couldn't help complaining again, "This damn elf, he doesn't do good things every time! Now I can finally understand why Badigal hates elves so much!"

"I can understand it too!"

Jenna responded, and then under the command of Byron, she performed a synergistic resonance spell.
