Arcane Hermit Order (5)

The meeting concluded with the support of "righteous people" represented by Keosius.

"Embers" and "Gray Eagle" had a cordial and friendly conversation, exchanging views and enhancing their mutual understanding. Lord "Embers" expressed serious concern for the safety of the people of North Wind Fortress and offered to provide humanitarian assistance to the best of his ability. They also agreed to hold related activities at the second Arcane Hermit Order in a few months.

The spellcasters left one after another, some using teleportation devices, some on foot, and some who had prepared transportation in advance—for example, the Floating Horseshoe did not sell.

Strasbourg is one of the most bustling cities in Anzeta and the capital of the Bosque Duchy. Naturally, it is a place where people come and go, and there are even occasional non-human races on the streets.

The spellcasters went unnoticed and quickly blended into the crowd, disappearing from sight.

After leaving the area of the "Trafalano Mansion Spell", Keosius did not leave immediately, but waited quietly in the alley of the city.

"Three, two, one."

He counted the numbers silently.

The space in front of Keosius suddenly distorted, and a Space Rift appeared before him.

First, her long, slender, fair legs appeared, followed by her body wrapped in a silver-white dress.

The skirt had a high slit, reaching all the way to the top of the thigh, and you could even vaguely see the magic tattoo on the smooth skin.

Upon seeing the person he had anticipated, Keosius gave a polite smile:

"Long time no see, Miss Starlight."

Olivia asked in confusion, "We just saw each other."

Keosius, still smiling, switched into Bard mode. "In my hometown there's a poem that says, 'A day apart feels like three autumns,' but your beauty makes me..."

Upon hearing the praise, Olivia's cheeks flushed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and interrupted, "Embers Huo, don't try to distract me with these verses. I didn't come here to listen to your sweet talk. How did you discover my identity?"

Keosius feigned ignorance. "What identity are you referring to?"

"I'm referring to Silver Dragon's identity."

Her tone was somewhat strained, but she still maintained basic decorum.

Keosius then replied, "It suddenly dawned on me."

"So you were referring to the Silver Dragon's identity..."

"It's very simple."

"Who wouldn't know Olivia, the most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Melvord Clan, known as the ' Silver Star '?"

"That's someone who could unleash the ' Crown of Stars ' in his youth and single-handedly thwart a conspiracy by the Dragon Cult."

He paused for a moment.

Olivia's pretty face immediately showed surprise. She thought there was a mistake in her Transformation Spell, but she did not expect that the other party knew so much about her, not only knowing her real name and clan, but also being able to tell her stories.

Keosius continued, "Besides, your temperament and way of speaking are too much like a young Silver Dragon who is inexperienced in the ways of the world. You are not good at hiding your thoughts."

Who exactly are you?

How do you know all this?

Olivia persisted in pressing her for an answer.

Keosius replied calmly, "I have no obligation to answer you, Miss Olivia. You only need to know that my code name is ' Embers '."

He changed the subject, a hint of mockery in his expression.

"Besides... if I may be frank, I may be far inferior to you in terms of magic, but I am far more skilled than you in disguising myself."

"You--"

Olivia gently bit down with her silver teeth.

She quickly realized that the other person was right; members of the Arcane Hermit Order had no obligation to reveal their true identities. But this feeling of being led by the nose left her with a stifling resentment she couldn't vent.

Keosius smiled and said, "Miss Olivia, then see you at the next Arcane Hermit Order."

After saying that, he gently touched the pendant on his chest, opened the Dimensional Door, and stepped into the Space Rift together with the "Iron Golem" behind him.

"Wait a minute..."

Olivia stood there, stamping her feet in anger, her face slightly flushed, and could only watch as the Space Rift slowly closed.

But soon, she also noticed some subtle issues, such as the faint appearance of golden scales on the back of the "Embers's " neck before it left.

She muttered to herself with a hint of smugness, "You're not so good at pretending after all..."

"At least your Polymorph seems full of flaws to me, Embers, or rather, Lord Golden Dragon."

She combined this with Embers's earlier rebuttal of "Black Hawk" by mentioning both the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon, their irreconcilable stance against evil forces, and the golden scales that had just been "unintentionally" revealed.

The Silver Dragon mage naturally assumed that she had discovered the true nature of this "Embers" lord—a pure Golden Dragon.

She muttered under her breath:

"An arrogant, conceited, and self-important fellow."

"I will definitely learn your name."

"Hmph... I'll go ask my grandfather. There probably aren't many Golden Dragon in Anzeta. They don't like the environment here."

The Silver Dragon mage didn't have a good impression of the Golden Dragon to begin with. In her memory, as the strongest of the Metallic Dragon by nature, these Golden Dragon were always arrogant, looking down on others, trying to become the leader of everything, and often taking it upon themselves to "exercise justice."

Now, Olivia's stereotypes about Golden Dragon have deepened, and she has added negative labels such as "self-righteous" and "frivolous".

However, Olivia was unaware that everything she saw was only what Keosius wanted her to see.

Keosius stepped out of the Dimensional Door and returned to his warm cave, eagerly freeing himself from his restraints and reverting to his Red Dragon form.

Lang Pu followed suit, transforming back into the massive Dragon Vein Ogre.

Keosius couldn't help but exhale a breath of hot Sulfur Scent air. "This Silver Dragon is quite gullible. It seems she's using all her high intelligence on researching magic."

"Let's see if we can trick her into revealing her Crown of Stars."

Dealing with the benevolent camp is indeed more comfortable. Although conflicts of interest are still inevitable, at least their actions are not deliberately calculated.

Lang Pu, overjoyed, pulled out the "Alchemical Compendium" from his Dimensional Bag.

"Master, this is a treasure! Those humans really don't know its value; we've made a huge profit."

This book can be used not only as Spellbook for several spells, but also as a magical artifact, which can assist in the synchronization of magical power.

Keosius said, "Since you've spent the Gold Coin, you should learn these spells. I'm very interested in the Haste Spell, so demonstrate it to me as soon as possible."

Lang Pu quickly replied, "Yes, Master."

Sorcerer can learn spells, but they cannot learn them through runes on Spell Scroll. Instead, they rely more on feeling how the spells work and then casting them intuitively.

For players, the probability of successfully learning this skill is extremely low.

But at least Keosius has learned the "Wall of Fire through Lang Pu's multiple demonstrations, since he is naturally suited to this kind of fire-based energy-generating magic.
