Daren nodded. The move to summon the giant snake was indeed a new witchcraft he created based on the characteristics of this rune and his own witchcraft expertise.
Daren put his pet, the giant snake he rode away from, a peak-level fifth-level snake-like monster into it, so that it would be a good means to carry it as a means of transportation or as a means of attack.
Claire nodded suddenly and chuckled, "No wonder."
When Claire fought against Nicole for the first time, he saw her summon a physical giant snake to attack him. It seems now that she did it with the help of this stone.
Claire felt strange at the time. Although the space barrier in this world is not that strong, how could a level five wizard master Spatial Power so easily? Vance used space scrolls when he escaped just now.
Suddenly Claire thought of the above, took out the bone cylinder-shaped witchcraft object, squinted his eyes and peeked inside. Sure enough, he had not observed carefully before, but now if he looked carefully, he could see a small row of repeated runes carved on the bottom of the bone cylinder.
"Did you do this too?"
"Yes, but it is difficult to find a material that can withstand this rune. I searched for a long time before I found the spine of a Space Boa Serpent, and then carved the rune on it. I guess that materials with the same properties can better harmonize with this rune..." Daren was not happy to chat with Claire, because he was afraid that he would anger Claire by not answering properly, and it would only be Nicole who would suffer.
Claire nodded, the other person's words could save him a lot of detours.
"By the way, these are the notes I took during my previous research." Daren took out a seven to eight centimeter thick notebook from the storage space.
Claire raised an eyebrow, "Is there anything else you can ask me for?"
Daren was not polite and said directly, "If you can, let go of the giant snake in the stone. It has been following me for hundreds of years..."
"Ta! Ta! Ta!" Claire snapped his fingers, his expression lost in thought.
Daren didn't speak again. He didn't want to interfere with Claire's thinking and anger the other party.
After a few seconds, Claire seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at Daren again and asked, "Do you have any last words?"
Daren frowned and thought for a moment, and finally shook his head, "As long as you don't take action Nicole, that's fine."
"Oops" Claire suddenly sighed and looked up at the sky, "Why do you think the gap between people is so big?"
Claire took a deep look at Daren, "Forget it, I don't want to kill you anymore, come and do something for me."
"Ah?" Daren said in surprise.
"What? Don't you want to live?" Claire smiled.
"No!" Daren's eyes seemed to be filled with light, and his whole figure seemed to be glowing with life. He was already prepared to die and never see Nicole again. Now that things have turned around, how could he not be happy?
"Da!" Claire snapped his fingers again, and a Magic Contract appeared in Daren's hand, "Sign a contract with me and become... my servant."
Daren simply scanned the content on Magic Contract. The content can be said to be a bit harsh, such as the need to completely obey the orders of Claire. It is completely a life-saving contract.
But compared to losing your life, this is nothing!
Daren immediately bit his finger and signed his real name on it. The moment he signed, Claire felt an extra layer of connection between himself and Daren, and in this relationship, he was in an absolute dominant position.
"Very good!" Claire snapped his fingers again and took the Magic Scroll back.
"The first mission for you is to capture Vance."
"Yes!" Daren put his right hand close to his heart and bowed slightly. "Sir! I will definitely complete the task you assigned."
Claire smiled appreciatively. He is a smart man and can switch his identity quite quickly.
"Don't kill him if you can. Just say that I appreciate him and ask him if he is willing to be my lackey?" Claire said. The trick that Vance used to finally escape just now really made his eyes light up.
Originally I planned to kill them all, but now that I have accepted one Daren, I don't mind accepting another Vance. Of course, the premise is that he is obedient enough, otherwise Claire will not lack the combat power of a wizard at the level of Archmage.
"Emmm" Claire frowned and thought for a while, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Vance should be in a developed ruins forty miles to the west now. There is a secret base of Wegus School. You should be able to find him by going there directly."
That is the closest place to here that Vance is most familiar with, so Claire guesses that that is where Vance is most likely to go, and the direction in which Vance just escaped happened to be west.
A trace of doubt flashed in Daren's eyes. He didn't understand why Claire still knew about Wegus School's secret base. This was generally information only known to the top leaders of a school.
The word "high-level" flashed through Daren's mind, and at the same moment a terrible thought popped into his head. Daren, who had experienced many storms, could no longer control his expression. He slowly moved his eyes to Claire's face, trying to get some clues.
The moment his eyes moved, Daren felt that his heart stopped for several beats, because his eyes met Claire's, and Claire was looking at him with a smile.
"You guessed it right, I killed the deputy leader of Wegus School."
Daren kept breathing in through his nose, and his eyes gradually became larger, filled with shock that could not be concealed.
He was not a fool. Those things quickly connected from dot to line and a complete chain of events appeared in front of Daren. The deputy leader of Wegus School was assassinated by him. He was also the one who instigated the incident between Santali School and Wegus School in the first place! Those undercover agents who escaped and burned books were all done by Claire alone. He has spiritual witchcraft, and these things are nothing to him.
And the complete Cultivation Method thing was revealed by him, right? It turns out... it turns out that he and others have always been fish that others are fishing for. It seems that the losers are not unfair. The five of them are not on the same level as the other party at all. The second time, they had thought about how to eat people like themselves from the beginning. Every step they took was like stepping into a trap planned by them in advance. They would even lead them in that direction, but they didn't know it at all.
"Go ahead and feel it, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with him when he recovers."
After hearing Claire's words, Daren finally regained his composure, looked into Claire's eyes with a hint of fear, and then resigned and flew toward the west.
The words just now were said by Claire specifically, in order to give Daren a blow and let him know the gap between them, so that when his strength becomes stronger in the future, his heart will also expand, and he will not be willing to handle the things he told him properly.
The key point of the way to control is to make the opponent fear you. After this beating, it is estimated that Daren's strength will improve in the future, and they all suspect that Claire played chess against him in order to set up a certain game.
After seeing the other party turn into a small black dot, Claire also slowly flew up and chased in the direction where the skinny old man was escaping.
And the ultimate goal of Claire doing so many things is naturally to get the entire Wizard World into his own hands.
At first, Claire just wanted to quickly advance to Archmage and then return to Mage World. As for Wizard World, we will slowly figure it out. But while exploring the ruins, he discovered the spirit body of Horna and the so-called perfect Cultivation Method, so Claire's strategy changed. He wanted to take down this world first and then return to the original world.
Horna's spirit body can allow him to advance to Archmage faster, possessing the world's top combat power level. And the perfect Cultivation Method gimmick of Horna is the key to Claire stirring up the world. If it were based on his reputation, the effect would not be so good.
First, they gave out the news about the defective Cultivation Method, attracting the world's top combat forces, and used their hands to pass the defective practice to the wizards under their school. Then they made another part and gave it to the wild wizards, causing Wizard World to fall into chaos and significantly reduce the number of wizards.
Later, he provoked a fight between the two university factions, causing Wizard World to almost fall into a world war. The purpose of all this was to reduce the number of wizards in the university faction and the number of wizards in the entire world, and beat them into pieces.
If Claire wants to completely control this world, these are all things that must be done. Just think about the ancient dynasty changes in previous lives. In the dynasty changes, some aristocratic families have inherited their inheritance even longer than the dynasty. Even after changing dynasties many times, they are still prosperous. Why? Because they controlled most of the resources of that era, and they controlled the institutions and systems of that era.
The schools in this world are just like the ancient families in previous lives. If Claire had not scattered them all, the actual control of this world would still be in the hands of those schools. This is not something that can be solved by strong force, but a social system that will naturally form when people gather into a social group.
Even if the strength of a single person can overturn the table, Claire killed all the leaders of those schools Epic Wizard, and forcibly brought them under his command. It was of no use. The wizards of those schools would naturally form an interest group, and the effectiveness of the orders would be greatly reduced before they were passed down to a few people.
Unless Claire kills them all and rebuilds his own power, but obviously that is impossible, it will take too long, and Claire still needs to keep them to work for him.
Of course, Claire can also use various means to battle wits and courage with them, eliminate dissidents, win over others, and slowly subdue those schools for his own use. But Claire doesn't have the time and energy to do those things. If he has the time and energy, he has been promoted to Archmage.
Therefore, the best way is to provoke a war and kill nearly half of the wizards, tear those school forces into pieces, and then reorganize them into a wizard force that belongs only to you, so that you can fully control this Wizard World.
I'll probably go back to Mage World tomorrow
