As soon as Isaac followed Claire, he walked forward excitedly, rolled up his sleeves and planned to touch the corpse. This kind of thing is the same as splitting the required task materials from the corpse of the monster, and he is very familiar with it.
"Hey, wait!" Claire stretched out his hand to stop him.
But Isaac had already stretched out his hand, and turned around and asked, "Huh? What's wrong?"
"Crack!"
The next second Isaac felt his outstretched wrist being pressed by a palm. He was so frightened that goosebumps came out from his skin. He jumped up on the spot and shouted quickly, "Claire He's not dead yet, hurry up and shoot him a few more times!"
"Is this how you treat your uncle?" The familiar hoarse voice sounded.
Claire also smiled awkwardly and glanced away. He didn't expect that Isaac would be so eager to touch the corpse and be caught red-handed.
Archmage Hughs, who had fallen from a high altitude and had his bones in disarray, stood up and threw Isaac's hand aside. The dislocated bones and dented scars on his body were returning to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Isaac took a step back in shock, with a look of surprise on his face.
"What's going on? Didn't you hit him in the heart?"
Claire touched Spatial Ring, took out another bright yellow bullet, and explained, "This is just an ordinary bullet like before. He is a necromancer. Penetrating the heart is no different from penetrating other places."
Isaac's eyes widened, and he finally reacted, pointing at the two of them and saying, "When did you hook up together?"
Time pulls back to the scene where Isaac and Hughes "recognized their relationship".
"... It's a pity that my talent is not as good as his. After graduation, he stayed in the academy, and I had no choice but to find my own way... I have been searching for magic monuments and lost kingdoms over the years and transferred to Necromancy System before I was promoted to Archmage..."
As soon as Xiu Shi finished speaking, a gleam flashed in Claire's eyes. He heard a different message from these words, so he immediately radiated his mental power and used the mental power connection method he had learned before to try to establish a connection with Xiu Shi.
Xiushi's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Claire in confusion. After finding no danger, he established contact with Claire.
'What do you want, kid? ' Hugh asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiu Shi felt that this was somewhat different from the communication technique used between mages. He was actually able to detect what Claire was thinking.
It's kind of interesting... Does this mean that the other party can also feel your emotions and thoughts?
At this time, Claire had already stood up and started chatting with Xiu Shi. They were talking on the surface, but in private they were talking privately.
On the bright side, Claire shouted, "How about I increase the price Count Grein gives you by one and a half times..."
But his expression remained unchanged, conveying his thoughts with Mental Connection, 'You work for Count Grein for the funds he subsidizes you, right? '
Archmage Hughs sent a sarcastic message, "You want to bribe me with money? That's not impossible..."
Count Grein also shouted out at the right time, "Archmage Hughs Don't listen to him, his family's combined wealth is less than one million Gold Coins..."
"You don't seem to be richer than Count Grein. It seems that we can't talk." Khushi's eyes narrowed, looking like he was not ready to talk.
'I don't have money, but I have a way! '
'Um? How to say? '
'August Family Do you know? '
'You know, there is no magician who doesn't know the three giants of magic shops in the country. '
'I know the current head of their family Sophia Countess. I can help you write a letter of introduction to give you the opportunity to enter August Family. You need to know The support that a border count like Count Grein can give you is different from that of the top families in the royal capital. Even if Count Grein gives you most of the profits in the territory, it is not as big as the leftover residue left by the August Family. '
'What's more, some magic materials can't be bought with money, let alone the magic materials you, Necromancy System, need, are especially rare. But August Family opens a magic shop. Although it may give you one or two hundred thousand Gold Coins a year, the benefits elsewhere are not within the reach of ordinary people. '
Xiu Shi's eyes flickered. It seemed from Mental Connection that Claire didn't lie to him. He really had a way with the August Family. If he could enter August Family, it would be an opportunity for him to reach a higher level. If there was such an opportunity, then he really wouldn't care to stay with Count Grein.
Claire felt that Xiu Shi was a little moved, so he struck while the iron was hot: 'Now you just need to nod, and you can seize this opportunity. '
'Are you confident enough to let me enter August Family? ' Khushi asked, wanting to get a definite answer.
Mental Connection's subordinate Claire can't lie, 'No, I just gave you a chance to get in touch with the August Family, and with my letter of introduction, the chance of success will be higher. It mainly depends on your ability. '
After thinking about it for a while, Xiu Shi decided to agree. Count Grein now has very little support for him. Apart from financial support, it cannot provide him with other aspects at all. But if he joins August Family, he can continue on his path, and he is very confident in his own strength.
However, Hughes still has some concerns. Not only is it unethical, but it will also affect his reputation. Even if he joins August Family in the future, he will be worried by them. After all, other nobles will stay away from Archmage who has betrayed his lord.
Claire noticed his concerns and said calmly: 'Zhang San died, and Li Si appeared...'
'What do you mean? '
'As I just said, you don't need to do anything. You will pretend to be killed by me later, and Archmage Hughs will also perish. Next, you can use any identity to join August Family...'
After thinking for a moment, Xiu Shi nodded and said: 'Okay. '
Claire helped him create a death certificate. All he had to do was pretend to be a new Necromancy System mage, which was not difficult. All the mages and knights under the lords he had fought with were killed by him. Not many people had seen the fluctuations of his spells. If he deliberately hid it, he would not be able to tell that he was Hu Shi. As for modifying the appearance, it is even simpler.
The mental communication between the two was extremely fast. When talking about this, Count Grein had just finished speaking.
"I can give you a certain amount of research funds every year, don't let this kid fool you!"
Xiushi also waved his robe and said to Claire with an indifferent expression, "Okay, don't say any more, I am not that kind of villain without principles. For Duke's sake, I will give you three moves. After three moves, I will take action!"
After the first two attacks, Claire loaded the previous bullets, aimed at Hughes who was far ahead, and pulled the trigger.
The bullet shot out and sank into Force Field Shield. Hughes felt that the power above was indeed what Claire said, so he pretended to resist with difficulty, and then took the initiative to pierce Force Field Shield and let the bullet penetrate his heart. He had been a necromancer for many years, and the human weakness of the heart had long since disappeared.
Then he blocked all his life force, entered a state of suspended animation, and fell directly from the sky.
After listening to the explanation, Isaac suddenly understood. His eyes kept looking back and forth at Claire and Xiushi.
"You two actually reached such a deal behind my back in such a short period of time, and I was kept in the dark!"
Claire put his arm around Isaac's shoulders, "What kind of deal is this? It's called cooperation!"
Xiu Shi didn't say too much. He flew up and put a Flying Spell on himself, and said to Claire, "Where is your city?"
Claire pointed in a direction, and then Hughes took the first step and flew in the direction of Nafu City. He had no interest in chatting with these two little brats.
After Xiu Shi flew a certain distance, Isaac finally said, "I thought you really figured out my idea and beat him to death?"
"How is that possible? How could a Archmage level mage die so easily?"
The two of them also slowly flew up and continued talking while keeping a distance from Khushi.
"But I'm still a little concerned."
"Say."
"What will we do if he doesn't make this deal with you?"
"How is it possible? The relationship between the lord and the mages he worships is purely a relationship of profit. As long as the benefits you give are greater, they will switch to your side without hesitation. If I am 100% sure that he can enter August Family, then he can immediately turn around and help us deal with Count Grein. There is no need to look forward and backward at all. And..."
Speaking of this, Claire suddenly paused, and Isaac quickly asked, "And what?"
Isaac touched Spatial Ring, and a bright yellow bullet flashed past and then entered Spatial Ring, "And how do you know that I didn't figure out your idea?"
Isaac's eyes lit up, and he reached out to grab Claire, "Show me quickly!"
Claire put his index finger to his lips, "Shhh! Secret! Let's see it next time when I have a chance."
After saying that, Claire sped up and rushed out. Isaac picked up the speed and caught up quickly, lingering in front of Claire and mumbling.
