Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 189: "Stingy" Sefar

The transaction between Nemesis and Sefar went very smoothly. The generous Nine-Ring Wizard not only gave Nemesis all the Seven-Ring and Eight-Ring spells he knew, but also many rare spells from the One to the Sixth Ring that Nemesis had not yet learned.

After exchanging the praise of the sun god for a thick book of spells, Nemesis had no time to look through it before another strange change occurred in the city of Nazca.

It seemed that the destruction of the pyramid caused some kind of chain reaction, and a huge rune array covering the entire city suddenly appeared in the sky above the entire city.

Just three seconds after it appeared, the magic circle suddenly shattered, and a green beam of light suddenly rose from the ground where the pyramid originally existed, and a crystal clear dark green sword flew out from it.

Nemesis instinctively felt that it was a treasure, but before he could intercept it, the green sword flew away quickly as if summoned by some distant force.

"Tsk."

Dironao gloated over Nemesis' unhappy look, and the latter was so angry that he threw a bolt of lightning at Nemesis, leaving him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

After receiving the [Praise of the Sun God], Sefar was in a good mood. He cheerfully interrupted Nemesis's act of ravaging him and said, "See you later, Nemesis."

Nemesis was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Sefar nodded and sighed, "I just told Boris what happened here. He said that since all the leaders of Nazca City are dead, he wanted me to go to the front line to seek cooperation. In short, I must reach a cooperation with the alliance before the Golden Legion's main force sets out. Sigh."

Nemesis was a little surprised and asked, "I killed all their great shamans. How could those Niksarans agree to cooperate?"

Sefar stroked his beard and smiled, "I don't know the details, but Boris used some means to confirm that the leader of the Niksaran army on the front line is a man with 'unsteady' beliefs. As long as I can convince him, there will be a chance for cooperation."

Nemesis nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He was not interested in these things now. He just wanted to return to his wizard tower to study the newly learned spells.

After the few people parted ways, Nemesis left the city of Nazca. Before leaving, the surviving Niksalans at the city gate and those survivors who were punished and turned into monsters cried and begged him to take them away, but Nemesis simply ignored them. He was too lazy to carry hundreds of burdens all the way back.

Seeing no hope of seeking refuge, some of the survivors stayed in the Nazca city and tried to build new homes, while others rushed to cities in other alliances.

The survivors who left Nazca later spread the story throughout central Maztec that a gigantic creature called itself the "White Mystery" had fallen from the sky, bringing down divine punishment and destroying the heretical shamans who had colluded with the evil god.

Nemesis didn't know that the title he had been dreaming of promoting since he was a young dragon had finally become famous without his knowledge.

The Maztec night sky is pure, like black velvet. The fine velvet is dotted with countless sparkling diamonds, which are the stars in the sky reflecting the fate of all living things.

The woods under the stars have a mysterious atmosphere. The soft moonlight and the embellishment of broken diamonds make each leaf reflect a smooth and translucent reflection.

Shana sat by the campfire, chewing the dry food in her hand, staring blankly at the crackling pile of firewood.

"Teacher, can't you summon a wizard's mansion for us to live in?" Xia Nai said helplessly.

Sefar was sitting on a makeshift blanket made of a travel bag, resting with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes upon hearing this and said in a reproachful tone: "Shanai, I've told you many times, what is the most important thing for a mage?"

"It's knowledge!" Shana immediately said, holding up the dry food in her hand.

The corner of Sefar's eye twitched, as if it was true, and then he sighed and said, "What about the second most important one?" Shanai thought for a while, and said hesitantly, "Is it the spell slot?"

Sefar looked at her with a look that said, "Fortunately, you haven't forgotten everything yet." He said, "That's right. Especially when you are adventuring in the wild, spells are more important than knowledge!"

"The Mage's Mansion is a seventh-level spell! How can you waste a precious high-level spell slot for a little comfort?! If the enemy suddenly appears, you might die in the battle because you lack the last seventh-level spell slot to cast the spell!"

After saying that, Sefar seemed to feel that his tone was a bit harsh. He looked at Shanai and softened his tone and said, "We are not warriors. Without spell slots in our hands, we are not as strong as ordinary people. If I had a magic item that could cast the Mage's Mansion spell, I would naturally use it without hesitation, but now, let's just be patient."

Shana curled her lips and obediently lowered her head to continue eating dry food. Her tutor was good in every way except that he was too picky and always made a big deal out of small issues. This made her feel like a child being disciplined by her parents every time.

"I understand, teacher."

Seeing that Shana stopped talking, Sefar nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you understand. What's so good about the Mage's Mansion Spell? I think it's not as good as the second-level spell [Magic Rope Spell]. It's cheap and affordable, and it's safe to sleep in it."

After saying that, Sefar recited a few short syllables, and a purple magic rope immediately appeared in the air. Sefar held the travel bag, and with his old body, he flexibly grasped the rope and climbed up all the way, and climbed into the invisible extra-dimensional pocket in the air.

After entering, Sefar poked his head out and said with a smile: "Look, it's very comfortable to sleep here."

"Go to bed quickly and get up early tomorrow. We should be able to reach the frontline city of Duzulla by the evening."

Shana was just about to throw away the dry food in her hand and prepare to summon the [Magic Rope Technique] to sleep when a faint noise suddenly appeared in the forest not far away.

"Something's happening, teacher!" Shana's eyes became sharp, and she put on a silver-white silk glove with complex patterns carved on it on her right hand.

Those were the [Attribute Gloves] that Sefar made for her. They allowed her to use animal enhancement spells an unlimited number of times a day. Although spells like Bull's Strength could not be stacked, as a transformation mage, these gloves were still very useful to Shana.

Sefar immediately crawled out of the dimensional hole. He held up the staff in his hand and looked solemnly into the forest in the distance.

The moonlight was already dim, and under the shade of the trees, the interior of the forest was even darker. Sefar could only barely hear the noisy sound getting closer.

"Roar!!"

In the distance, there were faint roars of tigers.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and a thin black shadow was running towards them quickly. It was a little boy who was dirty and looked malnourished.

When the little boy saw the two men, a hint of fear and vigilance flashed in his eyes, but he did not stop. He just gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

The sounds behind him were getting closer and closer, and soon, a group of Nicksalan knights riding cougars jumped out of the forest and quickly approached the little boy!
