Casting spells

But once it's night, they will gather in groups of three or five, and draw and build complex magic circles near each magic energy node.

Every time one is built, it will be connected to a huge network system.

You don't need to ask to know that the expeditionary force is constantly infiltrating into this world through this method.

Once a full-scale war breaks out, they can use these magic circles hidden in big cities at any time to complete legion-scale teleportation, sneak attacks and destruction.

Of course, the most important thing is to test the thirteen "kings" hiding behind the scenes.

You must know that ordinary people may not be able to detect such a large-scale construction of a magic circle, but those "kings" who have mastered a large number of Darente civilization's unique skills can clearly feel the energy gathering in certain specific areas [-]%.

But I don't know why, the other party has no intention to stop it from the beginning to the end, or to destroy it.

The brawny man obviously had no idea of ​​the huge and terrifying power hidden behind the young man in front of him. He sat down on a comfortable recliner, snatched a can of fine wine from the maid, raised his head and gulped it all down.

After the last drop slid down the esophagus into his stomach, he picked up the crude map and asked in an uncertain tone, "Are you sure you really want to attack these caravans and ships at the same time?"

"Why, is the famous King of the Sea also afraid?" the boy asked with a half-smile.

"Afraid? When have I ever been afraid! I just don't understand why you already have everything you desire, and you still want to participate in this kind of thing." The strong man known as the "King of the Sea" stared at him looking into each other's eyes.

No matter what a person does, there will be some kind of motivation behind it.

It may be wealth, status, fame, or it may be some strong emotion, such as love, hatred, jealousy, etc.

But for some reason, he couldn't find any motivation to do this in the young man in front of him.

"Hehe. Vigilance is a precious quality, and it seems that you already have it. Yes, on the surface, it seems that I shouldn't be in danger with you after I have acquired a large amount of amazing wealth that can be squandered in several lifetimes." The characters cooperate to loot those powerful spellcasters standing behind them, or the loyal followers of the thirteen kings. But have you ever thought about it, in fact, what you think I am pursuing is not what I really want.” The boy leaned forward slightly, exuding an indescribably mysterious and profound aura.

"What do you really want?!" The king of the sea seemed to think of something, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

The boy nodded slightly: "Yes! What I really want! Do you think that this little bit of wealth and power is all I want in life? No, you are wrong, my pursuit is not only a little bit. I want to break free All shackles, changing one's destiny forever. Tell me, in our world, who do you think can really control their own destiny? Those nobles and businessmen who seem to be beautiful? Or spellcasters with powerful power? Unfortunately, they all No. The only ones who are truly qualified to control their own destiny are the thirteen supreme kings."

"Damn! Do you want to..."

"Ah! You guessed it! I want to be one of them too."

Undoubtedly, the boy had spied on the mental activity of the King of the Sea, and he smiled and stretched out a finger and shook it.

"Don't rush to ridicule or sarcasm, wait for me to finish speaking. I understand that wealth and power alone are not enough to be a member of them, and decisive power is also required. After all, the reason why they They were able to be crowned kings because they successfully defeated the invaders and saved our world to some extent. Also, do you think we really only found these gems in the ruins?"

"What? You found something else!" The King of the Sea suddenly stood up from his chair.

"Yes. In addition to gems, I also found it..."

The voice just fell!

The boy slowly took out a crystal that emitted dazzling white light from time to time.

Undoubtedly, the King of the Sea felt the amazing energy contained in that white light, and stretched out his left index finger to try to touch it.

The moment when the fingertips touch the crystal!

Snapped!

A dazzling electric arc hit him hard, and then the whole person soared into the air, flying along the lawn for more than ten meters, and couldn't get up for a long time.

After the paralysis caused by the electric shock gradually disappeared, he struggled to get up and asked in an unbelievable tone: "What is it?"

The boy smiled and shook his head: "Sorry, I don't know exactly what it is. But one thing, if it discharges all the power around, it can easily destroy a city as large as Yaqi city-state. With it, you Do you think it's still far-fetched for me to want to be part of the king?"

"I need to see its power with my own eyes!" The King of the Sea didn't rush to answer the question, but put forward a condition instead.

"Yes! I will take out a small part of the energy inside and give it to you to control. At that time, you will understand that cooperating with me is equivalent to cooperating with the No. 14 king in the future, and the rewards you can get are far greater than beyond imagination."

As he said that, the boy deliberately pretended not to see the flash of greed in the other's eyes, and stuffed a cloud of violent energy into several bottles prepared in advance.

Without saying a word, the King of the Sea took these dangerous and coveted bottles with great speed, turned and left the villa without saying a word.

As soon as he walked on the front foot, the leader of the rear foot shapeshifter came out from the dark corner and said in a disdainful tone: "Are you sure this guy can play the role of attracting the attention of the enemy? In my opinion, he can only Can be used as cannon fodder, not even high-level cannon fodder. Once things are revealed, he may not be able to hold on for a minute."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Cannon fodder?" The boy smiled and shook his head. "No, I think you seem to have misunderstood something. What I expect from him is not just a cannon fodder to attract attention. On the contrary, he will be a very useful chess piece, which can even play a role far beyond your Unexpected effect."

"An unexpected effect?"

The leader of the shapeshifters obviously didn't quite understand what the supreme commander of the expeditionary force meant, and subconsciously frowned.

In his eyes, the guy known as the "King of the Offshore Sea" can only be regarded as a relatively large pirate group at best, engaged in a series of contraband businesses including plundering, smuggling, selling weapons, armor, etc. , It is simply not enough to fight against a powerful land regime.

Although due to its hegemony at sea, all ships sailing in the offshore area need to pay certain taxes to them to ensure that their ships reach their destinations safely, even the warships of some port city-states are no exception.

But in this world, the era of sea power is far from coming, at best it is only an extension of land hegemony.

Except for a very small number of merchants who made their fortunes from maritime trade and transportation, no one cared what happened at sea.

Compared with the illusory sea, people care more about the output of the land, such as grain, and poultry and livestock that can provide sufficient meat.

In addition, the King of the Sea does not have any powerful spellcasters or users of other supernatural powers. He completely relies on the inheritance from unknown parents and has innate super brute force. crush the hardest skulls.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this kind of brute force is very deterrent, but for the Darent Expeditionary Force with highly developed magic technology, it is easy to find a legionary soldier wearing magic armor at random. arrive.

strength!

Especially the power limited by innate factors such as muscles, blood, cells, etc., cannot be compared with the power brought by knowledge, no matter whether this power is mysterious magic or refined technology.

So in essence, the power of the King of the Sea is not enough to be compared with the thirteen "kings" who control the huge land, let alone compete or even confront.

Seeing the doubts in his subordinate's eyes, the boy picked up his cup and took a sip of the refreshing drink, and explained casually: "That's right! First of all, I want to correct you, or the inherent thinking within the entire expeditionary force, then It is that we are going to be the enemy of the whole world. In fact, we don’t need to be the enemy of the world. What we need to deal with are those stubborn people who prevent us from accomplishing our goals.”

"I don't understand. Is there any difference? As invaders, isn't it a matter of course that we are hostile and rejected by the whole world?" The shapeshifter leader questioned.

"Of course there is a difference!

Use your brain to think about it, who are the guys who resist the most?

Is it the poor civilians who live at the bottom of society and cannot even guarantee three meals a day?

Do not!

These poor people just want to live, to continue their existence in the most humble and painful way.

So they are not our enemies, but may be our potential allies.

Sometimes all you need is a few pieces of bread and a bowl of clean water to buy them off.

In contrast, it is those "superior people" who hold power, wealth and status who will resist.
