Chapter 87: Worldly affection is meaningless
Although Xie Man and the other two were very curious about the man's purpose, they did not dare to disobey their teacher. They responded in unison and turned to walk into the base.

After the three figures disappeared at the entrance of the base, Su Nan looked them up and down and said calmly, "Since you are here, don't hide your head and show your tail."

An eerie chuckle came from beneath the man's robe.

Then he lifted up his robe, revealing his skinny body wearing only a pair of tattered trousers underneath.

His upper body was completely exposed, his skin was pale without a trace of blood, and he was so thin that his ribs were clearly visible, like a patient who had been tortured by illness for many years.

However, what was even more horrifying was that there was a clearly visible human face on the surface of his abdomen.

The eyes, nose and mouth are perfectly integrated with the belly, as if they were originally there.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Sunan."

The human face opened slowly, and his facial features looked a little creepy.

"My name is Herb Gilman. I'm sorry to meet you in this way, but as a fellow wizard apprentice, I think you should understand me. This is necessary caution, isn't it?"

Sunan did not deny it.

The moment he saw the man in front of him, he sensed the strong aura of the undead on him.

It is obvious that this person is dead, and the one standing here is just a flesh puppet controlled by someone.

The wizard apprentice behind him was obviously well aware of the risks of running alone to another wizard apprentice's base camp, so he chose this way of meeting.

Seeing that Sunan was unmoved, Heb didn't care either and showed a faint smile on his face, but the smile seemed particularly weird and terrifying in this situation.

"I'm here on behalf of Marquis Jinyan to discuss something with you."

"I hope you will stop interfering in the war between the Golden Rock Alliance and the Shining Territory."

Su Nan raised his eyebrows.

Sure enough, at this point in time, the only wizard apprentice who would come specially to the door was the wizard apprentice behind Marquis Jin Yan.

"You want me to let go of the person who killed my father?" Su Nan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The enemy who murdered my father?"

A hint of sneer seemed to flash across Herb's face.

"Sir Sunan, people like us have long surpassed ordinary people in life level, even above knights."

"The normal lifespan of a third-level wizard apprentice is over 150 years. If he undergoes physical transformation or takes a life-extending potion, he will have no problem living for over 200 years."

"For people like us who have lived long lives, worldly affection has long been meaningless. I personally think you shouldn't dwell on it too much."

"Besides, I am here with sincerity. As long as you withdraw from this war, Marquis Jinyan is willing to pay a price that satisfies you to make up for his previous disrespect to you."

Facing Heb's persuasive words, Sunan remained very calm from beginning to end.

"I'm more curious about why you want to help Marquis Jinyan, in order to use his power to collect resources?"

"Yes, this practice is common among wizard apprentices, isn't it?"

Su Nan's eyes flickered slightly.

Herb's words undoubtedly revealed two messages.

One is that he knows more wizard apprentices.

One is that there are many wizard apprentices like him who cooperate with great nobles.

"You were also responsible for the spread of lycanthropy in the Frost Province?"

Heb looked at Sunan in surprise, as if he didn't expect that he also knew about lycanthropy.

"Yes."

"You have a primitive lycanthrope on your hands?"

Hebu frowned and said, "You ask too many questions, Mr. Sunan, are you planning to get information from me?"

Su Nan smiled and said, "I'm just curious."

Herb snorted and said, "Anyway, I have shown my sincerity. Now it's your turn to show your sincerity."

"You say a lot of empty words and claim to be sincere. Your sincerity is too cheap."

Su Nan sneered.

"Go back and tell Marquis Jin Yan to clean his neck and wait for me. I will settle all the previous accounts with him."

Hebu's face darkened completely, and he said in a cold tone, "So, you plan to go against me to the end?"

"I'll return this to you the same way I said it."

Sunan did not back down and sneered.

"This is a matter between me and Marquis Jinyan. You'd better not interfere."

Heb stared at Sunan for a moment with a cold look, and sneered: "If I'm not mistaken, you haven't been promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice yet."

"You are a second-level wizard apprentice. Are you sure you want to go against me, a third-level wizard apprentice?"

"As a wizard apprentice, you should be well aware of the gap between level two and level three."

"I advise you to recognize the situation and not to go down the wrong path!"

Su Nan smiled slightly and said, "You talk too much nonsense."

".You will regret this!"

Herb almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

The next second, the man's body suddenly swelled up rapidly and exploded like an inflated balloon. Countless flesh and blood splattered everywhere, falling on the surrounding stone golems like a bloody rain.

Zizizi!
Green smoke immediately rose from the places where the stone golem was drenched in blood and flesh, and holes were quickly corroded away.

The blood and flesh that splashed towards Su Nan were blocked by an invisible force field.

He released his mental power to sense the surroundings and found that there were no more aura fluctuations.

"That's it?"

Su Nan was slightly confused.

This wizard apprentice named Herb Gilman came here today just to meet him?
Is there no backup plan if the negotiations fail?

"Or"

Sunan looked in the direction of the Flashing City, thought for a moment, and took out the communication crystal.

This thing is an alchemical-grade magic item modeled after the zero-ring spell [Teleportation], and can perform long-distance communications within a straight-line distance of no more than one hundred kilometers.

Moreover, this thing can be activated without mental power, so it is very convenient to use.

Sunan specially made several of them, and gave one to Key in addition to Sherman and the other two, so that they could be contacted in case of emergency.

After activating the communication crystal, Key's voice was soon heard from inside.

"Sunan?"

"Did anything happen over there?"

Ke Yi was stunned for a moment, seemed a little confused, and then said: "No, you ask this"

The voice seemed to be interrupted in the middle of the conversation, and it was a long time before the voice came back.

"Someone's invading!"

really!

Su Nan's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "I'll go over now, you be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped forward, and when he landed, Yinlong appeared out of thin air below, just in time to catch him.

Sunan used the Feather Fall Technique on Yinlong to reduce the latter's weight, and then the man and the beast flew towards the Shining City.

"He was lurking near the lord's mansion, and would launch an attack immediately if the negotiations failed. He could also lure me out of the base at the same time. What a good plan."

Su Nan sneered, his eyes filled with coldness.

Lord's Mansion.

The once peaceful mansion is now in chaos.

There were constant shouts and cries of killing.

At the entrance of the meeting hall, guarded by more than a dozen knights, Key looked at the fighting in the courtyard with a serious expression. The enemies were three half-human, half-beast men, or more accurately, beastmen.

The three beastmen all have the combat power of a peak great knight level and are fearless. Facing the siege of hundreds of black rock leopards and stone golems, they still manage to hold their own.

However, what scared Key more was not the three beastmen, but the gray-robed man standing not far away.

The opponent did not look strong, but he easily killed three knights who were approaching and trying to attack. The key method he used was exactly the same as Su Nan's, which was to control lightning and fire.

It was undoubtedly a wizard's apprentice!
"Is this person the wizard apprentice behind Marquis Jinyan?"

Key's face looked heavy.

Except for the wizard apprentice behind Marquis Jinyan, no one would come to assassinate him at this time.

No, it should be said that the wizard apprentice's target was not him.

Because apart from killing three knights, the opponent did not make any other moves from beginning to end. Instead, he stood there leisurely, as if waiting for someone.

The other party obviously didn't bother to attack him, and the person he really wanted to deal with was undoubtedly Su Nan.

At this moment, Key saw the gray-robed man's expression change, and then he looked towards the entrance of the courtyard.

A figure flashed, and Su Nan appeared in the courtyard.

He glanced around and instantly took in the situation in the courtyard, finally looking at the man in gray robe.

Herb Gilman!
When he saw Sunan, a hint of pride in his plan flashed in Hebu's eyes, and then a cold murderous intent appeared on his face.

"I told you, you will regret it!"

"Today I will let you taste death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Heb opened his five fingers and grabbed at the air. With a crackling sound, countless electric snakes appeared out of thin air and condensed into a blue-green spear in his palm in the blink of an eye.

The next second, the spear shot out, piercing through the void like lightning and shooting towards Su Nan!

boom!
The lightning spear hit the invisible shield in front of Sunan, and both were destroyed!
Energy rune!

Su Nan's pupils shrank slightly.

This is the power of a third-level wizard apprentice.

A third-level wizard apprentice who has already mastered the control of energy particles can have the powerful power of a rune gem with a single strike!

Even a powerful knight could be destroyed in a single blow by a third-level wizard apprentice.

Although the shield spell is a first-level spell, it can only barely block one attack from the opponent.

Just after throwing out the lightning spear, Heb uttered a spell quickly and pointed his finger at Sunan.

laugh!
An extremely dazzling red light emerged from the fingertips and shot out at a high speed like an arrow!
Wherever the rays pass, the air shrinks back as if burned, forming a distortion visible to the naked eye, which shows how incredible the heat contained in it is.

After casting the spell, a smug smile appeared on Herb's face.

The power of [Scorching Ray] ranks among the top among many second-level spells, and a mere shield spell cannot resist it at all.

But what happened next made Herb's smile freeze.

The red ray was seen less than ten centimeters away from Su Nan, as if it hit some invisible object and suddenly disappeared like a drop of water in the sea.

How can it be? !
A flash of surprise flashed across Herb's eyes, but he quickly reacted.

Protective magic item?

And it’s a glimmer-level magic item!
It is impossible for an alchemical-level magic item to block a second-level spell silently!
"This guy actually has a glimmer-level magic item on him!"

Herb's eyes suddenly lit up, and a greedy look appeared on his face.

It is difficult to find intact glimmer-level magic items in the Starlight Continent today. Most of them are damaged items left over from hundreds or thousands of years ago. Even if they can be repaired, their power will be weakened to the alchemical level.

As for making it yourself, that is even more impossible.

Not to mention whether the technology exists or not, even if it does, we still have to find the materials.

Therefore, as a third-level wizard apprentice, he still does not have a single glimmer-level magic item.

"If I kill you, this thing will be mine!"

The murderous intent in Heb's eyes grew stronger.

Sunan saw it all without changing his expression. He released the magic missile he had prepared, but it was blocked by the invisible protection on Heb's body.

Seeing this, Sunan did not panic. He already knew that a first-level spell would have little effect on a third-level wizard apprentice.

After throwing out a few rune gems to curb Heb's attack, Sunan shouted, "Retreat and leave the courtyard!"

The battle between wizard apprentices is not something that knights or grand knights can interfere with.

Key obviously understood this and gave the order without delay.

"Everyone evacuate the courtyard!"

The guards responded loudly and escorted the lord out of the courtyard.

The Black Rock Leopard and the Stone Golem also abandoned the enemy and evacuated without hesitation.

The three beastmen were about to chase when suddenly a huge monster appeared out of nowhere in front of them.

The huge body made entirely of metal shines with a cold luster in the sunlight, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling.

As early as when he noticed the invaders of the base, Sunan put the iron golem into the Rubik's Cube just in case, and it came in handy now.

"Iron Golem!"

Heb was taken aback. He never expected that Sunan had such a puppet in his hands.

I don’t know whether he made it himself or got it from some wizard’s inheritance?

Faced with the legendary knight-level iron golem, the three beastmen no longer had their previous majesty and ferocity. In the blink of an eye, they were beaten and fled for their lives, suppressed to the point where they could not even raise their heads.

Heb's face darkened as he watched this scene. He snorted coldly, took out a scroll, and tore it apart on the spot.

As the light flashed, a giant bear over five meters tall appeared out of nowhere.

The beast has long limbs, sharp claws, and a skin that looks like a mix of strong, bulky muscle and metal armor.

"Roar!"

As soon as it appeared, the giant bear pounced towards Sunan.

"A magical pet?"

Sunan recognized the scroll that Heb had torn off. It was the Magic Pet Scroll, a disposable consumable item specifically used to place a magical pet.

You can put your pet into a scroll and carry it with you, then release it during battle.

Can only be used to carry a familiar.

Looking at the appearance of the giant bear demon pet in front of him, it was obvious that it had undergone physical transformation, and judging from its aura, it had the combat power level of at least a high-level knight.

However, when it comes to magical pets, Sunan is not afraid at all.

Without his command, Hidden Dragon had already launched the attack.

The giant bear demon pet that was running wildly towards them seemed to have hit something invisible head-on. It flew backwards with a bang and smashed a wall into pieces.

Amid the billowing smoke and dust came the roars of wild beasts, and two giant beasts were fighting fiercely inside.

Herb was confused for a moment.

He had learned in advance from Marquis Jinyan's intelligence channels that Sunan had a magical pet that could become invisible.

But he didn't take it to heart at that time.

The ability to become invisible may be rare and difficult for ordinary people to deal with.

But it has almost no effect on wizard apprentices, and there are simply too many ways to crack it.

However, when Heb actually saw Sunan's magical pet, he was shocked to find that it was not ordinary invisibility at all!

There was no invisibility that could eliminate sound, smell, and even it was as if the body was erased, making it almost impossible to detect when moving.

Even though he was a third-level wizard apprentice, he could only barely capture the movement trajectory of the magical pet.

"Glimmer-level magic items, iron golems, weird magic pets. This kid is simply evil. How many tricks does he have?"
