The stone in Claire's hands makes him seem to have omnipotent power like the former Star Child. As long as he uses it properly, even ordinary mortals may not be able to confront this power head-on.
However, neither Yunokia, who is familiar with this power, nor Closide, who was supposed to be an outsider, really regarded Claire as an opponent worthy of their attention. In their eyes, Claire was just He is just a child. Even if he accidentally obtains mortal power, after all, this power does not belong to him at all. Most boys who fail to understand how power works will just recklessly wield this stick that seems scary to mortals. What's more, you have to pay a high price to use that gem!
The orc slaves who started the rebellion also used gems to fight against the leader of the cracked tooth battle ax, Gelkate. They even fought evenly with Gelkate for a time, but in the end the orcs collapsed because they could not bear the power of the gems and were finally killed. Gelkate beheaded.
The orcs recklessly used the power of gems to strengthen the body, which eventually caused the body to reach its limit and collapse in a very short period of time. On the contrary, Claire, a boy whose body was weaker than the orcs, used the power of the gems mentally. , allowing him to understand and learn various knowledge at a high level and quickly expand his mental power and perception. In this way, in just nearly a year, he grew into a magician who is about to reach the middle level, and he is still a complete magician without blind spots. An attribute magician, the four major elements and two overhead elements all care for him at the same time.
Although this child is a little smarter and has not recklessly tried to use gems to strengthen himself, his character and spirit are still just that of a child, and his judgment of things is also judged from the eyes of a child. Even if he is filled with hatred, he is still Too childish.
It was this naivety that made him naively choose to stay in this city for so-called revenge, instead of leaving here and coming back after accumulating enough strength.
"He is still in the city, I can be sure! And there is a high possibility that he is hiding in the upper area. Maybe he disguised himself as another person and regained a legal identity. With that gem, he It's very simple to do this." Yunokia's tone was a little irritable after sharing some recent information.
"If this is the case, it is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack. Although the population in the upper area is not as large as that in the lower area, there are too many important people living there." Closide said with a warning tone: "If you find too much When a big mess comes, it will be very troublesome to clean it up."
For the civilians and poor people in the lower city area, Eunogia, as the three giants, only needs to issue an order, and the city's security team and her own private soldiers will break into any home to search, but it is different in the upper area. There are too many high-ranking people living there, and a hasty search will inevitably have a great negative impact. And this period happens to be the game period for the election of the next chamber of commerce chairman. Even Eunocia does not dare to be too aggressive. Too presumptuous to avoid indirectly affecting Closide's election.
Yunokia couldn't help rubbing her forehead in annoyance: "The efficiency of using birds to detect one room is too low, and there is no way to detect magic power in long-distance detection. The other party will not be able to distinguish it as long as they make some changes in appearance. .¡±
¡°Rather than searching slowly, I think it¡¯s better to set a bait to lure him out.¡±
It was only then that Croside nodded as if he had a sudden realization: "Master~ That's right! I almost forgot about it."
Perhaps Claire was once a little naive and reckless. Whether he burned down Felibos's warehouse or stole around the city, he left too many traces. The biggest mistake this child made was not to disguise himself. legal status. But this childishness and recklessness ended here after the night of the arrest. Perhaps Claire's temperament was not enough for him to grow up quickly enough to be cautious, but the demon master who had reached some kind of agreement with Claire would help him. Close this loophole.
"Since the appearance of that stone, I feel that the entire Free City has changed dramatically. None of the many soldiers, guards, spies, magic circles, and mythical locks have any effect."
Thinking of the annual maintenance costs of these facilities, Closide really felt that the city tax was simply wasted: "What on earth is that gem? Eunogia~ I think you should know the truth, right?"
"Actually, I don't know it very well. It's just that what belonged to me at that time, no one can take it away!"
"Does it belong to you?" Croside raised the corner of his eyes slightly: "Then~who?The Star Child that I once read about in the literature has arrived again. Yunokia, you seem to have some relationship with her and know some things. Can you reveal some? "
¡°¡¡¡¡±
Yunokia's face, which was hidden behind the gauze curtain, suddenly changed. For Closed, the gauze curtain that covered Yunokia's face was just a decoration. In front of the powerful mental power of the dragon, this gauze curtain It was no different from transparent glass. Croside could clearly feel that not only did her face become ugly, but Eunogia's whole body trembled slightly.
Like fear of an innate natural enemy but showing respect, with a trace of inexplicable expectation but regret not daring to look forward to it.
For a moment, Yunokia said in a low tone: "I have to remind you, Closide, not to over-explore this matter, otherwise your entire worldview will be destroyed."
"Really? To be honest, I am more interested in this gem. At the same time, I am also interested in the former Star Children and the Star Children who have come to this world now."
"It seems that you are not going to stop." Eunogia sighed as if she did not intend to stop Croside.
Croside smiled: "Don't worry, my promise is still valid. I just want to study it and give this gem to you afterwards."
"After mastering this omnipotent power, even the power to surpass the gods" Yunokia seemed to have heard a funny joke: "Are you really willing to let go?"
"This is the gap between our concepts. You long for power, but for me, power is just a means to achieve the goal. And I don't think there is anything so-called omnipotent in this world." Said Crowe Seid shook his head.
Eunogia snorted coldly: "Then I hope you find that child first, at least before that arrogant person named Zero."
Closide shrugged and said nothing.
"By the way, there is one more thing. While dealing with those bugs, I unexpectedly got online with a certain god in the second generation. Are you interested in knowing about it?"
Eunogia was stunned for a moment: "God?"
"Lose, the Spider Queen who rules the dark elves in the Underdark!"
"Come out and listen."
For a moment, even Eunogia became a little curious. When Croseid talked about how to discover the Spider Queen's priests and send followers to the Spider Queen to operate on the surface, Eunogia's expression was still normal, but when When she heard that this second-generation god actually lowered his profile and wanted to come to the free city to take a look, Yunokia sneered.
"Okay, now what should we do?" Closide clearly faced Eunogia with a blaming attitude.
"Reject! Don't you know what the Spider Queen Rose's priesthood is in the second generation?"
Croseid smiled: "Assassination, chaos, betrayal, trickery, spiders and evil, I still have the impression."
"You want to cooperate with this crazy evil god?" Eunogia glanced at Croseid with a look that seemed to ask you if you are crazy.
"So I should reject her?"
Originally, Yunokia immediately wanted to return to Yes, but suddenly Yunokia seemed to think of something and hesitated a little. Until the end, Yunokia seemed not to make up her mind, and finally let Croside Give yourself some time to think about it.
After saying goodbye, Closide did not use the teleportation circle in Eunogia's palace to return. Tonight, Closide planned to stroll back by himself just to relax. After starting to play games with Lawrence, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, and others, Closide Said has not left the Chamber of Commerce to go out for a long time. On weekdays, he seems to take turns traveling between the Chamber of Commerce, the carriage, and the destination. Various business negotiations, banquets, and dinners almost take up all the time. time.
Today, after signing an agreement with the Kalsemmen Empire, Closide also wanted to take a stroll around the streets to see if there have been any new changes in the city where he has stayed for so many years.
Walking on the street, Closide moved through the crowd like an ordinary person. A simple magic blurred his appearance to a certain extent, making him look like an ordinary person instead of the famous Chamber of Commerce. Vice-President Crowside. Although it is already late at night, the bustling commerce in Free City has kept the city from falling into darkness. The busiest streets in the upper-class district are still brightly lit at this moment. As for the hotels, brothels, and various high-end clubs here, Life in the city that never sleeps has just begun.
Feeling the lively atmosphere around and looking at the businessmen and nobles with their arms around beautiful women, ChloeDe noticed that the richer the women around them, the more beautiful they are. In this city, morality, personality, and ideals do not actually exist. The only value that measures a person here is money. If you have money, you You can do anything here. If you have money, you can do whatever you want here. You can use money to buy everything you want and do things you would never be able to do in ordinary times.
