Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 176: The Vanguard is Destroyed
In the next few days, Nemesis carefully studied the second book given by Fazi - "The Truth of Red".

Compared with "The Key of Solomon", this book contains almost nothing nutritious. The whole book is Solomon's personal diary that sounds like a rambling.

Nemesis's brows were furrowed, and his deep eyes sparkled with a desire for knowledge. He sat under the dim light, concentrating on reading the book "Red Truth" that Fazi gave him.

Solomon's diary seems to whisper between the pages, and those words, like ancient spells, are full of mystery and mist.

In this book, Solomon spent most of the space exploring the nature of gods. His thoughts were full of contradictions. On the one hand, he used the power of the three archangels to control the demons, and on the other hand, he was full of doubts about the existence of the legendary God. Nemesis stroked the words written in black ink, as if he could feel Solomon's inner struggle.

Most of the content in the book is meaningless, only the last page at the end of the book contains some interesting words that Nemesis finds interesting.

"Red is the true meaning of all things, red is His essence, red is true, it is really red, I saw it, great Lord Jehovah, what a cruel and cold truth it is."

This passage further deepened Nemesis's belief that the Dark Earth was by no means simple. Not to mention the three archangels who were suspected to be quasi-gods and could grant divine powers, the detailed details in Solomon's words clearly confirmed that the God who existed above the angels was also suspected to exist.

"It's really not simple. Every duke on the throne has a world behind him that is not an ordinary character." Nemesis said thoughtfully.

"Faerun, where Shana and I come from, is full of legends. In Fazi's world, there are also suspected beings above the legendary level. Not to mention Rajat, even a dog on the side of the road may have psychic powers in the high-magic world."

"From this perspective, the Earth where No. 11 is located is most likely not a simple and ordinary technological civilization world."

While he was thinking, Varosan knocked on the door of the laboratory. Nemesis snapped his fingers and the door opened automatically.

"Tsk, it looks like I have to find a chance to find a spirit that can be a tower spirit."

Most of the wizard towers of high-level wizards have tower spirits that are like artificial intelligence. They can automatically control all the mechanisms in the wizard tower and have intelligent thoughts to assist the tower owner in his daily life. The huge tomb jade gem that Nemesis bought as a gift for the book "Guide to Building a Wizard Tower" was used to carry the tower spirit.

Unfortunately, the essence of the tower spirit is usually made from the essence of higher elemental creatures. Nemesis, who has not yet learned the eight-ring incantation spell [Higher Alien Binding], has no ability to catch a higher elemental creature.

To serve as a tower spirit, the essence of an elemental elder is the minimum requirement. Under normal circumstances, the essence of an elemental noble like a giant is needed to function properly.

"Master, Lord Sefar wants to see you for something." Valosan said respectfully.

"understood."

A flash of silver light passed, and Nemesis disappeared from the spot, leaving only Varosan staring at the place where Nemesis had sat with envy on his face.

"The power of a mage is so amazing. Why did I decide to become a warrior?" Varosan shook his head and left the room.

"Is there anything I can help you with? Your Excellency Sefar." Nemesis came to the guest bedroom on the second floor. Sefar was standing by the window at this time, with his luggage packed and placed on the bed.

"Are you leaving?" Nemesis asked, looking at the luggage.

Sefar nodded, his face somewhat serious: "The Golden Legion sent out an advance force to negotiate an alliance with the Huakli Alliance, but they were attacked near the Death Rainforest and the entire army was destroyed."

Nemesis was a little surprised: "Who attacked?"

From the Death Mountains to the Death Rainforest, apart from Nemesis and Dironao, there is almost no one capable of challenging the advance troops of the Golden Legion.

"Could it be the Huakli Alliance that did it?" Sefar shook his head and said hesitantly, "It shouldn't be them. The deaths of those soldiers were very strange."

Then he hesitated again, as if trying to find the right words to describe it: "Their brains are gone."

"He's lost his brain?"

"Yes. All the soldiers' skulls were opened by some sharp weapon with sophisticated means, and the brains inside disappeared."

Syfar's description reminded Nemesis of a creature: "Mind Flayer?"

"No," Sefar denied the guess: "At first, I also guessed that a mind flayer had sneaked into the fleet and came here to cause the killing, but after seeing the scene, I no longer think so."

"When the mind flayers suck the brains of their victims, they will violently open the skulls. However, those soldiers are different. The cross-sections of the outer layer of their brains are very neat, which is not the style of the mind flayers."

"The demise of the advance army made Boris extremely angry. I don't know how he found out that I was here. He asked me to go to the Death Rainforest to investigate and, after finding the real culprit, to negotiate with the Huakli Alliance on behalf of the advance army."

As he said the last sentence, Syfar looked at Nemesis with resentful eyes.

Nemesis was also somewhat helpless, as the Mage Tower had anti-detection runes added to it. The fact that Boris was able to bypass these and locate Sefar only showed that the power of the legendary mage was too strong.

He sighed with some regret and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, this is the condition everyone promised to the Golden Legion. When they are in urgent need of help, we must provide assistance."

The corner of Sefar's eye twitched, and he was speechless looking at Nemesis's "it's none of my business, I don't care" attitude.

"You don't think I'm the only one going?" Sefar said with a smile.

"Hmm?" Nemesis suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Boris asked all the Feren professionals around me to go, which means not only me, but also you and Shana have to go together." Sefar snorted and laughed.

Nemesis had a headache, but he did not dare to disobey Boris's orders. After all, although he was now strengthened by the Power Stone and his strength increased greatly, he still could not escape death when facing the legendary wizard.

"I understand," Nemesis said with a wave of his hand. "I will send an extremely old red dragon to go with you. Is that enough?"

Sefar looked at Nemesis in doubt and said, "An extremely old red dragon? If it is real, it can certainly replace you. But, pardon me, how can you be sure that he will listen to you?"

If Sefar remembered correctly, the scroll dragon in front of him should still be a young dragon.

Looking at Sefar's appearance, Nemesis suddenly realized that he had not seen his body size after breaking through to an adult dragon. All this time, Nemesis had maintained his human form in the Mage Tower.

So he smiled and said, "It's because I beat him into submission."

Sefar was in disbelief until Nemesis transformed back into a giant dragon of more than 80 meters, scaring him so much that his mouth opened wide. Then he summoned the red dragon that was fawning on him, and then he realized that the other party was telling the truth.
