Chapter 64 Next Plan
This trip to the world of fragments brought Duanmu Huai a lot of benefits, but it also made him discover his biggest flaw.
At present, Duanmu Huai''s team includes MT (self), output (Aojisi), and Lorena (therapy + output), so... what else is missing?
Magician.
If Duanmu Huai didn''t particularly want a magician at the beginning, then his demand for a magician is really urgent now.
After all, although Duanmu Huai is a psychic, he is the kind of person who specializes in summoning. It can be said that in addition to the soul cards, Duanmu Huai has completely no idea about supernatural abilities such as magic. Therefore, he now urgently needs a magic assistant who can get a bit of knowledge about psychic magic.
In this regard, Ogis and Lorena are the same, both specializing in physical attacks and are completely unfamiliar with magic. Originally, Duanmu Huai was hoping to find a magician in the Holy City, but according to Lorena, there was basically no magician in the Holy City...
Although there are professions like mages in the main material world, Duanmu Huai dare not use them - he doesn''t want his companions to suddenly become heretics eroded by demons.
So it is safest to find the mage in the soul fragment. On the one hand, the mage in the soul fragment also has powerful magic, and under the protection of the soul fragment, they will not be eroded by demons.
Then the next question is... where to look for it.
At this time, Lorena provided a clue to Duanmuhuai. She once heard that there was a magic country called Manalia in the north. It was said that the magic civilization of that country was highly developed, and there was also a Manalia Magic Academy, which specializes in learning magic. If you can find a reliable magician somewhere, then this is the best choice.
Unfortunately, there is no record of Manalia in the holy city, so Duanmuhuai has only one choice... that is, to return to the empire again... to find clues.
By the way, after Duanmu Huai secretly took away the Crown of Witchcraft, it was broken down and used to increase the analysis speed of the [Judgement Library] by +10%.
By the way, the treasure room in the ruins in front of me, which was regarded as treasure by the Chaos Warriors as a treasure, was a big bathhouse in the Holy City era - fortunately it was not a women''s bathroom.
So basically Duanmu Huai walked into the bathhouse, then returned to the main world, and then saw a bunch of treasures placed under the statue of the goddess who was originally placed in the hot spring in the middle of the bathhouse, as well as the crown of witchcraft mixed with it. So Duanmuhuai took the crown of witchcraft and opened the door and went back to the holy city to take a bath before leaving.
However, the empire is not a good place now.
According to the refugees found by Duanmuhuai, perhaps because they could no longer bear the Rat Man and the believers of the God of Disease ran around on their own land. The Three Emperors, whose human brains had a dog brain, finally decided to temporarily put aside their new and old grievances and unite to deal with the Rat Man army and the believers of the evil gods.
With their support, the empire’s local area has finally become somewhat stable.
By the way, there is another thing related to the City of Silver - Duanmuhuai took Alisha and her mother to run away directly, and the territory fell into the hands of the evil **** believers. The remaining two princes seem to use this as an excuse to accuse the eldest prince of being ineligible to become emperor. After all, even the territory has been lost. Shouldn''t you resign?
If it was a Japanese, it would probably be like bowing 190 degrees and "I''m very sorry for licking mushrooms for you", but the eldest prince seemed to be really stubborn. Now he is also leading the army himself, intending to retake the Silver City... This has nothing to do with Duanmu Huai.
According to Lorena''s suggestion, he found two places that might have something to do with Manalia.
Aldorf, the capital of the empire, and…the cursed city of Maudheim.
About Modheim, Duanmu Huai also heard an interesting story from the refugees who fled. During the Three Emperors War, Modheim remained neutral, so he was protected from the war, and it became a city favored by many nobles and wealthy businessmen. They gather here, enjoy the fun with their wealth, indulge in their voices, and stay away from war.
At this moment, a two-tailed comet emerged from the sky (Duanmu Huai didn''t see this thing, probably fell asleep at that time), but I don''t know who was crazy first, and he actually thought that this comet was a glory to praise the God Emperor, and that Mordheim was the chosen city. So the nobles in the city were even more drunk and dreaming of death, immersed in enjoyment and depravity every day.
Of course, it is not without the pastor warning that all this will only bring disaster. They regard the comet as the warhammer of the empire’s patron saint Sigma, and will completely destroy this fallen city of pleasure!
Well, I don’t know if the pastors of Sigma were having fun at that time. After all, it was also the basic operation of the church to promote God’s wrath with the help of various natural disasters. However, by chance... the comet really fell into Mordheim, and justice came directly from the sky at the celebration of people''s carnival.
Maudheim, destroyed by the comet, naturally became a ruined city, a place where messy things such as rats, thieves, evil **** believers and other messy things were rampant.
But not long ago, the eldest prince Ludwig suddenly stated that he wanted to regain this fallen cursed city. However, most of his troops are now advancing to the Silver City, so what should Modheim do?
The eldest prince had a solution. He planned to recruit some mercenaries and cooperate with the imperial army to carry out a comprehensive sweep of Modheim, and eliminate the evil **** believers, rat men and other strange things entrenched in it.
This call has attracted the attention of many mercenaries. After all, although Modheim now looks worse than Hiroshima Nagasaki where mushrooms are planted, it was once one of the richest cities in the empire. The wealth buried under the ruins and the legend of powerful magical artifacts and holy objects full of mystery have a fatal attraction to those mercenaries.
But, it is also dangerous.
The fragments of that comet possess some terrifying and powerful weird power, which can distort human body and mind and transform them into unimaginable terrible monsters. Not only that, it is not the only one who wants to compete for Modheim - various forces are also gathered here, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to either take advantage of the troubled waters, provoke discord, or weaken the enemy.
Therefore, the eldest prince''s first action quickly ended in failure.
And now, he is increasing his reward again and summoning brave soldiers to Modheim. But perhaps because the first group of fanatics set an example with their lives, almost no one dares to run to Modheim to die in boredom.
After summarizing this information, Duanmu Huai immediately made a plan.
That is to join the army that the eldest prince regained Modheim as a mercenary. And he did this for two reasons.
First of all, Maudheim has become a ruin. It is almost impossible to find what he wants here. Duanmuhuai had been driving a gunboat to circle over Modheim for several times, but he still did not find any fragments of Manalia''s entrance. In this case, he could only choose to move forward from the ground and look for clues.
Since the eldest prince wants to recover Modheim, he must have detailed information about the city, which is what Duanmuhuai needs.
Secondly, if Modheim cannot find the information he wants, then Duanmu Huai can also rely on this qualification to enter the royal city of Aldolph. Because of the Three Emperors War, almost all large cities are in full swing martial law. People with distinctive characteristics such as Duanmu Huai cannot learn from spies and thieves to get in. Therefore, only through formal channels can he gain the trust of the empire and obtain permission to enter Aldolph.
Of course, there is another reason that Duanmu Huai is still thinking about the holy objects in the hands of the eldest prince. After all, the gift from the Water God has proven to be a holy object, so the same is true for the Fire God Warhammer in the hands of the eldest prince. If you can find the eldest prince and take the opportunity to get the warhammer, it would be great.
So soon, after making the decision, Duanmu Huai set off immediately.
Go to the next target location - Maudheim.
