Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 69: The Celtic Conspiracy
Nemesis was well aware of the Necromancer's question.

The Scroll Dragon's talent in prophecy spells allowed him to immediately realize what kind of spell it was.

5th-level prophecy spell - [Pledge to the Abyss].

Once the recipient violates the treaty set by the caster, he will be immediately burned by the flames of chaos from the abyss, and his soul will fall into the abyss and turn into demonic maggots.

This spell is basically not popular in Faerun because it involves the power of the Abyss, and only people who believe in demons are accustomed to using it.

"Demon. Sel" Nemesis lowered his head and thought.

He read half of the Celtic's memory. There wasn't much information, but there were some important things.

He was a subordinate of a Sel Archon, whose mentor was the famous chief of the spellcasting department of the Red Robe Mages - the Nine-Ring Mage Nie Rong.

He didn't know the specific purpose of the Sea people coming here, but he knew that they had established some kind of connection with Charis and prepared a mysterious magic ritual through them.

The Archon of Sel has arrived in the Kingdom of Imbutu, a 12th-level sorcerer, and he has sent his apprentice, a 10th-level sorcerer, to Charis.

According to the memory of this Sel man, the last contact with the master of spells was a day ago in Thatcher City, the royal city of Inbutu.

All the subordinates of Sel in the entire Degen City are led by the tenth-level red-robed wizard, but surprisingly, this Sel man did not come on the orders of the other party. It was Charis who contacted him privately and asked him to secretly investigate the news about the Mage Association.

This reminded him of Tok. Before the other party died, Nemesis had read the other party's memory, but he was protected by a mysterious magic, just like the person in front of him.

The only information he got was a name.

"Fibonacci".

Nemesis hesitated and said, "I extracted some information from the memory of this Cyran, but it is not comprehensive."

"I think that the city lord's son, Baron Charis, may be cooperating with them in some mysterious ritual, but I'm not sure about the specific purpose of this ritual, nor is it safe."

Several mages looked at each other. This answer was beyond their expectations. The son of the mayor of Degen City actually had an affair with Sel?
The Kingdom of Imbutu and Sel are mortal enemies. For a long time, the Kingdom of Imbutu has been receiving funding from the Eastern Witch Kingdom, Leatherman, and has been fighting against Sel's vassal state, Sesk.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Leatherman's witch coven also had a legendary spellcaster in charge and tied up most of the military forces of Cyre, the iron hoof of the Red Wizards would probably have set foot in the Kingdom of Imbutu again long ago.

The war that nearly destroyed Inbutu a hundred years ago was caused by Sel.

If Charis represented the will of the Rosa family, he would probably be an enemy of the entire Inbutu royal family.

Loslien shook his head and frowned as he analyzed, "This is probably Charis's own unauthorized action. I know Mende Rosa very well. He definitely doesn't have the courage to conspire with the Red Mage."

Nemesis nodded secretly, which was consistent with his guess.

This was a good opportunity for him, an opportunity to bring Colette to the forefront.

As long as this matter is brought to light, Mende will have to clean up his house, otherwise the entire Inbutu royal family will not tolerate them and their son, and the title of earl will naturally belong to Colette.

And he will be able to rule Degen City legitimately.

As for Mende disobeying the royal order?
This is impossible.

Nemesis learned from Losrien that the royal family had two professionals above level 17.

His Majesty the King Saint Delis is himself an 18th-level quasi-legendary melee professional, and together with the Regent Justice Leorel of the Kingdom of Inbutu, he is a 17th-level enchantment master.

Mende would have dared not to resist the royal family's decision, even if he was out of his mind. "I think that for the benefit of the Mages' Guild, we must go to Rosa Castle and expose his son's conspiracy to the lord of the city." Loslien glanced at the mages and said.

Then he looked at Nemesis, as if asking for his opinion, and after the young man nodded slightly, he looked at everyone again.

The mages were stunned when they saw this scene. Losrien's respect for Nemesis exceeded their expectations. Nemesis' strength in dual cultivation of Orin also made them realize that this newcomer was by no means a simple character.

With great strength comes great authority, and the mages are increasingly obedient to the leadership of Losrien and Nemesis.

"The red-robed wizards are definitely not bandits who would leave after plundering like the green dragon three years ago. They are usurpers, followers of demons, and enforcers of tyranny. Regardless of their purpose, we who hope to monopolize the magic resources of Degen City are definitely not happy to see them."

Everyone agreed to Loslien's proposal, and decided not to delay any further and head to the castle immediately.

But what they didn't expect was that an accident completely disrupted their rhythm.

When the mages stepped out of the wooden house, the city streets, which should have been quiet late at night, became quite lively, and many citizens walked towards the castle.

Loslien stopped a girl, put on a gentle smile and asked, "Can I ask what happened?"

The girl blushed instantly when she saw the half-elf's face, lowered her head and whispered, "Baron Charis said that the old earl died in his sleep, and he is summoning citizens to the castle to witness the succession ceremony."

Losrien's pupils shrank, he looked up at Nemesis and said with a wry smile: "What a coincidence."

How could Mende Rosa die in his sleep? He was a level 11 warrior.

The expressionless boy gazed deeply at the castle in the distance. The darkness swallowed up its shape, leaving only the castle spire flickering in the moonlight, like a lantern fish luring its food.

"The plan remains unchanged," Nemesis said, "Even if Mende Rosa dies, Charis must die."

The mages looked at each other, not daring to disobey his order.

Walk towards the castle where the crowd is dense.
-
In the sewers of Degen City, Marlowe and Oliver were pinching their noses as they shuttled through the smelly sewers.

They dared not make any sound because around them, on the walls of the sewer.

It was densely covered with slightly undulating egg-shaped objects, among which the dark shadows of flying insects could be vaguely seen.

The moment Maro saw them, he immediately recognized that these flying insects were definitely not products of the main material plane. They were enveloped by a thick abyss magic.

Fortunately, the sound of sewage flowing in the sewer covered up the sound of their footsteps very well, and the two of them moved forward tiptoeing without disturbing any unpleasant accidents.

Oliver looked panicked behind Marrow, silently praying to the gods to let them leave safely, but the goddess of misfortune always liked to show off her presence when mortals didn't need her.

Marlowe, who was walking in front of him, tripped over something and staggered violently. Just as he was about to fall, Oliver immediately became frightened and reached out to grab him by the collar.

"Huh" Oliver breathed a sigh of relief, and Marro was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. They looked back and around, fortunately, the insect eggs were not awakened.

But the next moment, perhaps because of being too nervous and relaxed, Maro deflated.

"Puff puff puff~~"

A loud fart came from Marlowe's crotch.
