Chapter 64 Next Plan
?This journey to the fragmented world brought Duanmuhuai a lot of benefits, but it also made him discover his biggest flaw.
At the moment, Duanmu Huai''s team includes MT (himself), DPS (Ogis), and Lorena (healer + DPS), so... what is missing?
Magician.
??If Duanmu Huai didn''t particularly want a magician at the beginning, then now his need for a magician is really urgent.
After all, although Duanmu Huai is a psychic, he specializes in summoning. It can be said that except for soul cards, Duanmu Huai is completely ignorant of supernatural abilities such as magic. Therefore, he is in urgent need of a magic assistant who can be involved in and understand psychic magic.
In this regard, Ogis and Lorena are the same. They are both specialized in physical attacks and are completely unfamiliar with magic. Originally, Duanmu Huai hoped to find a magician in the Holy City, but unfortunately, according to Lorena, there are basically no magicians in the Holy City...
Although there is a profession like mage in the main material world, Duanmuhuai does not dare to use it - he does not want his companions to suddenly become heretics corrupted by demons.
??So it is safest to find mages in soul fragments. On the one hand, mages in soul fragments also possess powerful magic, and under the protection of soul fragments, they will not be corrupted by demons.
?Then the next question is...where to find it.
At this time, Lorena provided Duanmu Huai with a clue. She had heard that there was a magical country called Manalia in the north. She heard that the magical civilization in that country was highly developed, and there was also a special training center for learning magic. Manalia Magic Academy. If you can find a reliable magician somewhere, then this is the best choice.
? ? Unfortunately, there is no record about Manalia in the Holy City, so Duanmuhuai has only one choice... and that is to return to the empire again... to look for clues.
By the way, the Crown of Witchcraft was broken down after being secretly taken away from the treasure house by Duanmu Huai, and was used to increase the analysis speed of [Inquisition Library] by +10%.
By the way, the treasure room in the ruins in front of me, which was regarded as a treasure by the Chaos Warriors and guarded tightly, was a large bathhouse in the Holy City era-fortunately it was not a women''s bathroom.
?So basically Duanmuhuai walked to the bathhouse, then returned to the main world, and then saw a pile of treasures placed under the goddess statue that originally held the hot spring in the center of the bathhouse, as well as the crown of witchcraft mixed in it. So Duanmu Huai directly took the Crown of Witchcraft and then opened the door and went back to the Holy City to take a bath before leaving.
It’s just that the current empire is not a good place either.
According to the refugees found by Duanmu Huai, perhaps because they could no longer tolerate the rats and the believers of the God of Disease running around in their own land, the three emperors, who had the brains of humans and dogs, finally decided to temporarily put aside their old grudges and join forces. Rise up to deal with the rat army and the followers of the evil god.
Under their maintenance, the empire itself is finally somewhat stable.
By the way, there is another thing related to the City of Silver - when Duanmu Huai took Alyssa and her mother to run away, the territory fell into the hands of the followers of the evil god. The remaining two princes seemed to use this as an excuse to accuse the eldest prince of not being qualified to be emperor. After all, you have even lost your territory. Shouldn''t you take the blame and resign?
If it were a Japanese person, this would probably be a 90-degree bow and "I''m very sorry to lick the mushrooms for you" and then be done. However, the eldest prince seems to be really stubborn. Now he is personally leading the army and intends to retake the Silver Palace. The city...this has nothing to do with Duanmu Huai.
?According to Lorena''s suggestion, he found two places that might be related to Manalia.
?The capital of the empire, Altdorf, and... the cursed city of Mordheim.
?About Mordheim, Duanmuhuai also heard an interesting story from the refugees who fled. During the War of the Three Emperors, Mordheim was protected from the flames of war because it remained neutral, and it became a city favored by many nobles and wealthy merchants. They gather here to enjoy the fun with their wealth, indulge in sex, and stay away from the war.
At this moment, a double-tailed comet emerged from the sky (Duanmuhuai didn''t see this thing, he probably fell asleep at the time), but I don''t know who lost his mind first and actually thought that this comet was a tribute. The glory of the God-Emperor represents Mordheim as the chosen city. As a result, the noble lords in the city were even more intoxicated, immersed in enjoyment and depravity every day.
?Of course, it is not without priests warning that all this will only bring disaster. They regard the comet as the war hammer of Sigmar, the patron saint of the empire, which will completely destroy this fallen city of pleasure!
Well, I don’t know if the priests of Sigmar were just happy at that time. After all, it is the basic operation of the church to use various natural disasters to promote the wrath of God. However, what a coincidence... the comet really fell on Mordehai. Well, at the celebration where people held carnival celebrations, justice came directly from heaven.
Mordheim, which was destroyed by the comet, naturally turned into a city in ruins, a place where ratmen, thieves, followers of evil gods and other random things wreaked havoc.
But not long ago, the eldest prince Ludwig suddenly stated that he wanted to regain this fallen and cursed city. But now most of his troops are advancing towards the Silver City, so what should Mordheim do?
??The eldest prince has an idea. He plans to recruit some mercenaries to cooperate with the imperial army to conduct a comprehensive sweep of Mordheim to eliminate the followers of the evil god, ratmen and other strange things entrenched in it.
?This call attracted the attention of many mercenaries. After all, although Mordheim now looks worse than Hiroshima and Nagasaki that were planted with mushrooms, it was once one of the richest cities in the empire. The wealth buried under the ruins as well as the legends of powerful, mysterious artifacts and holy objects have a fatal attraction for those mercenaries.
But it’s also dangerous there.
The fragments of the comet possess some kind of terrible and powerful strange power. It can distort human beings'' bodies and minds, transforming them into unimaginable terrifying monsters. Not only that, the eldest prince is not the only one who wants to compete for Mordheim - various forces have also gathered here, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, sow discord, or weaken the enemy.
Hence, the eldest prince’s first action quickly ended in failure.
??And now, he is raising the reward again to recruit brave warriors to Mordheim. But perhaps because the first batch of fanatics have set an example with their own lives, almost no one dares to go to Mordheim to die in boredom.
After summarizing this information, Duanmuhuai immediately made a plan.
That is to join the eldest prince''s army to regain Mordheim as a mercenary. And he did this for two reasons.
First of all, Mordheim has been turned into ruins. If you want to find what you want here, it is almost impossible to find information about Manalia. Duanmuhuai had already driven the gunboat around Mordheim several times before, but still could not find the fragment entrance to Manalia. In this case, he could only choose to move forward from the ground and look for clues.
Since the eldest prince wants to regain Mordheim, he must have detailed information about this city, which is what Duanmuhuai needs.
Secondly, if Mordheim cannot find the information he wants, then Duanmuhuai can also rely on this qualification to enter the royal city of Altdorf - due to the War of the Three Emperors, almost all large cities are now under full martial law, Duanmuhuai It is impossible for a person with such distinctive characteristics to imitate a spy and thief. Therefore, only through formal channels could he gain the trust of the empire and obtain permission to enter Altdorf.
Of course, there is another reason why Duanmu Huai is still thinking about the sacred object in the hands of the eldest prince. After all, the gift from the water **** has been proved to be a sacred object, so the Vulcan war hammer in the hands of the eldest prince is probably the same. If he can find the Prince, it would be best to take the opportunity to get the war hammer.
?So soon, after making the decision, Duanmu Huai set off immediately.
Go to the next destination - Mordheim.
