The mage arrives

The crystal ball trembled slightly, as if in response to Gordon's question. ;23+wx

His Demon Pet was previously under the gluttony power of the Seven Sinners. He ate and ate the mirror he inherited from Grand Duke Rob Andelo.Later, in order to stop it from continuing to run wild, Gordon and Aenia jointly sealed it temporarily.

Now that the Seven Sins are dead, Gordon's familiar is no longer affected by the power of sin.It's just that Gordon didn't know why it changed its shape from a crystal crow to the current spherical shape.

The existence of crystalline creatures is inherently mysterious and unique. Whether it is humans, elves, or other intelligent races, their understanding is very limited.

Gordon called up the magic pet column in the system, checked it, and found that the information was vague.

Familiar: Crystal Primarch.

Special ability. Intelligence increase: Provide the owner with an extra two points of intelligence.

special power.? ? ? ?

His pet type is no longer a gemstone crow, but has become the so-called "Crystal Primarch", and the original special ability only retains the intelligence increase. The ability of "Arcane Connection" is gone, replaced by It's a long string of question marks.

Gordon also had no idea about the changes in his magic pet.No matter how well-informed he is, he cannot be omniscient.The world is so big, there are always things he doesn't know.

Perhaps the only consolation is that although the appearance has changed drastically, the magic pet is still his magic pet.This crystal ball, which revolved around Gordon, would still obey his orders.Gordon could still sense the connection between himself and his familiar.That special spiritual connection.

Just when Gordon was confused, the gray dwarf who was a prisoner walked over slowly.

When he first came to the library, Gordon tied Travok's hands and feet.Then throw him a quilt, some food and drinking water, let the two combat ice golems take care of him, and go to do other things.

Gordon was a little surprised to see Trawork approaching: "What's the matter?"

"Well... sir, I think I know what that crystal ball around you is."

"Let's hear it," Gordon said.

The gray dwarf raised his hand first.After saluting to Gordon, he began to tell all the information he knew.Since falling asleep, I had a strange and vague dream.When Travok saw Gordon again, for some reason, he always felt a sense of awe and admiration in his heart.

He didn't know what was going on, but to the human mage who had captured him.But there is no heart of hatred and resistance at all.On the contrary, I feel that the other party has such a strong strength, and it is the object that I should choose to be loyal to.

The reason why the gray dwarves know so well is, on the one hand, the experience in the illusion, which has silently affected their subconscious.On the other hand, it was because the gray dwarves were originally a vassal race embracing the thighs of the dark elves to survive.In their social culture, it is a matter of course to rely on the strong and depend on the strong.

At this moment, Travok faintly had an idea in his heart.He felt that if he could please Gordon.With the approval of this mage, perhaps he can rely on his power.to achieve your own goals.

"Mr. Mage, if I read correctly, this crystal ball is a special creature called 'Crystal Primarch'."

Gordon was quite surprised that the gray dwarves were able to call out the term "Crystal Primarch".Even he himself didn't know what this crystal ball transformed from his magic pet was before opening the system menu.Travok, on the other hand, called out its name in one bite.

"Do you know what a 'Crystal Primarch' is?"

"Yes, sir. But it's a long story, I'm afraid I have to start with the history of our gray dwarves dating back to the third era." Travok's rough voice seemed to be mixed with a few traces of historical dust.

Although throughout the third era, historians often focused their attention on the war between the Sun Elf Empire and the Nether Magic Empire on the ground, the two great powers.But in the shadow and darkness of the underground world, there is also a magnificent history.

At that time, the "Twelve City-State Alliance" formed by the gray dwarves was a force that could not be ignored in the underground world.Like the dark elves, the gray dwarves also belonged to the top of the food chain in the entire underground world.At that time, the gray dwarves were not only ahead in metal smelting and weapon forging technology, but also mastered magic technology that even the Nessers admired.

The so-called "magic guide" is the combination of magic and machinery.The pinnacle of the duergar's technology is a powerful war machine called the puppet dragon.The fighting power of this kind of war machine is astonishing. The only thing that is not as good as the giant dragon is that it cannot fly.But in an environment like the underground, not being able to fly is not a disadvantage.

After the gray dwarves excavated a large number of dragon bones in the underground dragon tomb, they washed and polished them, supplemented with metal accessories, and reassembled them into puppet dragons.And the core of this powerful war machine is something called "Crystal Primarch".To make the puppet dragon move and obey the orders of the duergar, the crystal primord is an indispensable key.

After listening to Travok's account, Gordon asked, "Do you know where the Primarch came from?"

"I don't know much about this." The gray dwarf said while shaking his beard. "My understanding of the Primarch is only from a few incomplete books handed down by the family. However, it is recorded in the book that the Primarch is Evolved from crystal organisms. As for how to evolve, I don't know."

After a pause, the gray dwarf added: "In addition, among our gray dwarves back then, those who could manipulate puppet dragons were all warlocks without exception."

During the third era, the profession of rune mage had not yet been born among the dwarves.Except for priests, the only spellcasters are warlocks who have awakened spellcasting ability by relying on blood talent.

Warlocks, like mages, can also have magic pets.

Although it's just a guess, Gordon already has a general idea of ​​how the gray dwarf's puppet dragon works.It's just that the information is limited now. If you want to learn more about it, it's not enough to rely on Trawork's dictation alone.

Gordon has also heard of such things as puppet dragons.He knew that it was a dragon weapon comparable to a dracolich.Having a puppet dragon by your side is equivalent to having a giant dragon thug.

"Do you have any more information about the puppet dragon?"

Seeing Gordon's question, the gray dwarf said with a embarrassed face: "Sir, my memory cannot be compared with that of a mage like you. The knowledge about puppet dragons is what I read from the books left by my father when I was young. At that time, I just regarded it as a fairy tale. But now, those books that record the history of my Shixin family and the secrets of many gray dwarves are all in the hands of my uncle..."

Travok told Gordon about the contradictions of the Stoneheart family and the succession of the entire Axe and Iron Fist mercenary group.

In the illusion, Gordon already knew about the trashy things about the Travok family.Back in reality, the details of these things have changed, but the generality remains the same.

The Stoneheart family of the gray dwarves was originally loyal to the fourth dark elf family in Blackthorn City.It's just that in the power struggle that happened every day, as usual, the Cloperia family, which the Shixin family was loyal to, was eradicated by the other three dark elf families.

The master is finished, and the slave naturally does not end well.Under the severe crisis of survival, the Shixin family had to make a difficult choice: escape from Blackthorn City.

Although the Shixin family successfully left Blackthorn City at first, no one in other dark elf cities was willing to take in this group of gray dwarves.They had to wander in the dangerous and dark underground world.In a sudden battle, the gray dwarf who was the patriarch at the time, that is, Travok's father, was caught by a spirit sucker, and his whole brain became a snack for the other party.

After narrowly escaping an army of wraiths, Travok's uncle Emond became interim patriarch.

Later, Edmond made a very correct decision that greatly strengthened his position in the family: leave the ground.

Although the surface world is very strange to these gray dwarves, it is always less dangerous than the underground world.The Shi Xin family formed a mercenary group called "Axe and Iron Fist", which can be regarded as officially taking root in the surface world.

The acting patriarch is wise and mighty. As the real heir, Trawork is naturally unwilling.However, although Travok already has a big beard from the appearance, his real age is still young. Whether it is personal strength, personal connections, or ability to play tricks, he is not as good as his uncle Emond, so he is competing for the family In the struggle of the patriarch, he has always been at a disadvantage.

He was even sent to Mount Weisula as a mere small team leader to carry out what was known as "pre-exploration" but was actually a "death" mission.

After listening to the history of family grievances told by Trawork, Gordon asked: "You mean, if I want to get the books that record the information about the puppet dragon, I have to go to your uncle?"

"Yes, Mr. Master. But my uncle's temper is not that good, and he always has an extremely distrustful attitude towards foreigners, so this matter may be very troublesome. But..."

"But as long as I help you defeat your uncle and win the title of Patriarch, you can read those books casually, right?" Gordon helped Travok speak the second half of the sentence.

"Mr. Mage..." Travok looked at the other party's half-smile face, knowing that his attempt had been completely seen through. (To be continued..)
