The Death Knell

Elminster clapped his hands at this time, as if he remembered something, and changed the subject from a more serious topic:

"You have recruited a new apprentice in the New World, right? I secretly watched her a few times while she was shooting targets in the basement, because you said you wanted me to teach her something next."

Su Ming took a deep breath and took the cigarette out of his mouth: "Yes, Hermione Granger, I think she is very talented."

"Then do you know that she is more like a warlock? Or maybe the people called wizards in this world all look like warlocks." Elminster stroked his beard with a wry smile. He glanced at the magician standing aside with his arms folded. Duncan: "Mordenkain went to Diagon Alley to trick a few people and got some blood samples. He came back to study and found that wizards in this world can cast spells entirely relying on the special power of their own blood. This is a typical performance of a warlock. Let the wizard Teaching warlocks? You can imagine that."

"I don't like warlocks either." Mordenkainen still looked gloomy and expressed his opinion: "Bloodline makes them feel that they are naturally superior to others and that extraordinary power is at their fingertips. They completely do not understand that the art of magic requires time to study knowledge and hard work. Those who study deeply are impetuous, vain, and have no sense of awe..."

"Stop, stop first." Su Ming waved his hand, looking helpless: "You just sneak into other worlds directly, aren't you afraid of problems?"

"You are always the first test subject. It will be fine if you go in. We are both human beings and it won't be a big problem." Elminster smiled. He loved exploring so much. There was an unknown world right there. How could he endure it? I had to go and take a look: "Of course, I didn't let those skeletons who helped you handle the Horcruxes go in. After all, you said there was a god of death over there."

Mordenkainen also agreed. He also talked about his preparations: "Before entering a strange world, I first caught a mouse from my Gray Eagle world, brought it here and observed it for a few days, and found that it was fine. . Then I put it in a cage and sent it to the new world through the spider totem to explore the way. I continued to observe, and it didn’t die suddenly.”

Su Ming covered his face: "...So you followed?"

"No, I'm not that reckless. I went back to the Gray Eagle world and caught a druid, turned him into a rabbit, and then entered the new world and changed back into a human form. After a few days, there was no problem, and I entered with confidence. New world.”

When the bald man said this, he still had a strange black smile on his face. If nothing else, just this expression would make people think that he was from the evil camp.

"...Forget it, in the future, when there are no ghosts connecting the world, just follow this safe procedure when using spider totem to travel." Su Ming sighed and returned to Hermione's topic: "Of course I know about this world. People are like warlocks, and this is also their advantage. If the power comes from herself, it means that she can also cast spells in other worlds. She does not need magic nets, no need to prepare spells, and no need to look at the faces of any gods. , this is something none of you can compare to.”

"That's true. Even if it's your other apprentice Mysterio, she still needs the 'valve' to connect the two universes so that she can sense the evil gods before she can use magic..." Elminster touched He chewed the mouth of his pipe a few times: "But you also said that Khadgar's situation is also much better. What's the saying 'Drink water when the blue bar is empty, and become a good man again when the blue bar is full', Ai Can’t Xerath’s mages use it?”

Su Ming shook his head. When talking about his only male apprentice, he felt a little helpless:

"He is indeed in another situation, but it's a pity that it doesn't work. His thinking is too rigid. I can't even teach him how to use long-range weapons such as firearms. His ability to accept new things is too poor... only He can be the spokesperson of the Sky Council in Azeroth, but he will never reach the level of an astral mage."

"That's right. If I hadn't met you, old man, I would never have thought that I would be able to become a planeswalker." Elminster agreed with Deathstroke's statement: "But when it comes to teaching students, Mordenkainen is more experienced. Let him do it. I have never seen a warlock work part-time as a mage, but theoretically it is not impossible, it just requires experimentation."

Mordenkainen touched his bald head expressionlessly: "If you put aside personal likes and dislikes, mages and warlocks do come from the same destination. Even if there is no precedent for a warlock to work as a wizard before, I can still create this profession."

"You can use the slave workers in my shop as you wish. Just make up some lies and trick them into thinking it's a trick like a grandfather descended from the sky. But be careful and don't kill people." Su Ming provided very generously. experimental materials.

Elminster nodded, and he suddenly said: "By the way, get some spell teaching materials from the wizards of the New World. I want to study how to use arcane means to reproduce their magic. Everyone knows that I am Specializing in the 'Enchanting System', many of the magics in this world that control other people's minds and memories seem to be able to be improved."

This is probably a sign of the old mage's renewed ambition. After all, being with so many legendary mages every day is stressful.

Regardless of whether they are human or not, others have several signature spells named after them, which are spread in many worlds, especially Bigby, who has a lot of well-known spells.

What about himself?

Just a 'Elminster's Radiant Purification', or a magic goddess chosen spell that can be cast with the help of silver fire. It is an arcane spell rather than a divine spell.

Now that there was an opportunity to study magic from other worlds, he certainly wanted to try to see if it could inspire him.

"Here, I originally wanted you to see the magic in this world. Even if they are all warlocks, they can always develop new magic from time to time. I am also a little confused about this."

Su Ming took out some teaching materials from his pocket. He was a professor after all. He also took out some snacks and drinks and handed them to you two. They not only have to study the problem of recreating the magic network to create a high-demon world, but they are also responsible for cloning the snake tree. Mordenkainen is definitely the best among legendary mages. He even invented 'magic genetics', a subject between technology and magic:

"I have to go to Sepulk. The Lich Masters are still there, right?"

Elminster nodded, and his pipe lit up with flames between his breaths: "They have lived too long in the Nether era, and their only hobby now is knowledge...I heard that they I'm obsessed with computers. What kind of digital network technology do you want to use to borrow the energy of the alien box network and the fire pit to build a P2P magic network inside the ghost universe? I just don't understand it."

Su Ming bared his teeth and quickly bowed to the two mages.

The Liches are progressing too fast. You have to take a quick look to prevent them from blowing up Sepurk...
