Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 48 Duke Mutual Aid Society

Nemesis looked at the third woman, who claimed to be from the same world as him.

Name: Shanai Clement

Race: human

Location: Demonic Web Multiverse - Main Material Plane - Kingdom Sky Crystal Wall System - Toril Planet.

Toril is the name of the planet where the continent of Faerun is located. In addition to Toril, there are eight other planets and the sun located in the center of the planet.

These planets together form a crystal wall system called [Kingdom Sky].

The crystal wall system is the most common existence in the main material plane. Each of them is wrapped in a crystal wall and floats in the phlogiston sea of ​​the main material plane like a mustard seed.

There is more or less matter in each crystal wall system. Some may be just a huge continent, while others may have hundreds of billions of stars.

In fact, for Nemesis, he believed that the crystal wall system was probably similar to the star system in the universe of his previous life. The only difference was that each crystal wall system was protected by an indestructible crystal wall.

This is also the reason why many creatures in the prime material plane can live quietly in the multiverse where gods and demons exist.

With the existence of the crystal wall, even gods and demons cannot descend into the crystal wall system in the flesh. Only those poor worlds with broken crystal walls are unable to resist the invasion of gods and demons.

Shanai stretched out her slender white hand and said, "Hello, respected Lord True Dragon, I am from the Am Empire of Faerun. As you can see, I am a sixth-level wizard."

Nemesis raised his eyebrows. The Empire of Am? He had heard of it. It was a coastal empire along the Sea of ​​Swords, with developed commerce and a strong army. It was a well-known powerful country in western Faerun.

He shook hands to show his goodwill. Although in reality the wizard was just a small figure in front of him, as the holder of this mysterious treasure, he still gave him due respect.

"Nemesis, I am from the Kingdom of Imbutu."

Shana hesitated for a while. Born into a wealthy family, she had read a lot of books since she was young. She also knew about the knowledge about volume dragons, but it seemed that this kind of dragon basically did not exist in the main material plane.

I thought the other person was a tourist visiting the main material plane, but I didn't expect that he was actually a fellow villager.

"The Kingdom of Imbutu? The country close to Sel?" Shanai said with some surprise.

"I heard that it was attacked by the Deep Poison - Ochiwilis some time ago, and the envoys of the Kingdom of Inbutu even came to our country to ask for help."

Nemesis nodded, and in his heart he complained that the green dragon was so famous that even the Amn Empire far away on the west coast knew about it.

He couldn't help but feel a little envious. As a real dragon, the highest honor was that the domineering name he carefully thought of was known by all creatures on the entire continent.

Before Shana could continue asking, Faqi at the side interrupted her impatiently.

"Okay, you'll have plenty of time to reminisce after this, so let's get started first, shall we?"

The three of them looked at each other and nodded, only Nemesis was a little confused.

Fazi pushed his nose with his finger, then put his hand down as if realizing something. He explained:

"This is a rule we three set. Since we are all here because of the gems, no matter where we are, we will naturally establish a connection."

"Therefore, we believe that everyone should have a mutual-help mentality and exchange items, knowledge, secrets, or pay for help at monthly meetings."

"This is the only way to maximize the effect of the gemstone."

"Would you like to join us?" After saying that, he looked at Nemesis expectantly.

"Uh" Nemesis was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, this was indeed the only use of the throne. If six people in different worlds could help each other and pool the unique resources and knowledge of each world, it would indeed be a unique advantage.

So he nodded and agreed, and asked curiously, "Do you attend this kind of meeting once a month?" Fazi nodded and said, "Once someone calls a meeting, everyone else will be notified. In order to ensure that our mutual aid association can proceed smoothly, we have always tried to choose to join in when others call a meeting."

"The flow of time between the thrones is still, so even if we are doing something in the middle, we don't have to worry about being affected."

"Then what does the Duke stand for? Why do you call me the Fourth Duke?"

Rajat, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up in response to this question. He scratched his white hair that was exposed from his black hood and said excitedly, "Look at that throne."

"Don't you think it's like it's waiting for the king to ascend the throne? I think the gem will eventually choose one of the six to sit on the throne, so I call us Dukes! The most honorable existence under the king!"

"I call it the Duke's Mutual Aid Society!"

Faqi and Shana shrugged, indicating that they somewhat agreed with this speculation.

"Well, let's officially get started. The 74th round table meeting officially begins~" Fazi announced, knocking on the table as if he had a hammer in his hand.

Nemesis was a little speechless. Why did this Englishman have such a sense of ritual?
Then, Fazi was the first to raise his hand and said, "I have a request and hope to get your help."

He smiled bitterly and said, "I have been kidnapped by a legendary vampire in reality. That crazy woman is going to kill me after drinking with me."

"Please, Nemesis, you must have a way. You are the legendary dragon!" Fazi begged with his hands clasped together and a look of anticipation on his face.

"Uh" This is the umpteenth time today that Nemesis has been speechless. The man is about to die, and he still has the leisure to perform a ritual in front of him?
Shana, who was standing by, spoke up at this time. She asked in surprise, "Vampire? Are you referring to the vampire Count you were tracking before? Did she really show up?"

Fazi nodded bitterly and said, "I just published an advertisement in the newspaper looking for information about Countess Elizabeth of Wallachia, but who knew she would come to my door that night."

The corners of Shana's eyes twitched. This is not the way to seek death.

She sighed and said, "I am penniless now. Researching spells has almost drained all my gold coins. Take this. This is the acceleration ring my mentor gave me. It can cast the third-level transformation spell [Acceleration] once a day."

She took out a ring that emitted magical fluctuations and said with a painful look on her face: "Listen carefully, this is just a loan to you. If you can survive, you must return it to me!"

Faqi took the ring excitedly and said gratefully: "Of course, don't worry, if I survive, I will definitely bring the ring back intact!"

Shana looked at the taken away ring with melancholy. It was the only valuable thing she still had after her family went bankrupt.

"You must bring it back to me!" Shana reminded him again worriedly.

Fazi nodded sharply and looked expectantly at the person he had asked the question at the beginning.

Nemesis tapped the table a few times with his slender fingers. He tilted his head and looked at the other party, as if he was evaluating the value of investing in the other party.

"Vampire Countess, what is her strength?" asked Nemesis.

Shana, who was standing by, understood this very well: "The vampires in their world are different from the undead creatures in Faerun. They have almost no magical abilities, but they are extremely fast and can hypnotize humans."

"I once commissioned Faqi to hunt a vampire and bring the corpse here to trade with me. I also discovered these abilities based on the corpse."

Nemesis nodded. It sounded like a monster from the low magic world.

So he asked, "You gave him the speed-up ring, and he could use it? Does magic exist in that world as well?"

The lowest standard for the use of magic items is a creature that possesses magic power and can resonate with the magic network.

The Weave traverses the multiverse, but in most worlds it lies in an inert, invisible state, where magic is an unknowable myth, a means for rural con artists to extort money.

If Fazi can use magic items, it means that there is fertile soil for magic to grow in that world.
