Chapter 512 Victor's Regret
Finally, with his familiarity with the terrain, Ranger Ji Wanbing took the lead in arriving in Yueshadow Village before Dell and the others, and transferred the witches and their group.
The Witch Federation has been on guard against the paladins stationed near Anthony Harbour and has already prepared a small boat by the sea.
Ever since the witches broke off their partnership with Cersei Lannister, there have been much fewer safe houses in the Far South Colonial.
The sea route is no longer safe for them. The materials that had previously promised to give the retribution team were transported through hidden lines that Mama didn't know.
This time, a caravan secretly funded by the Witch Federation hid various supplies and boats on the coastline in advance.
Under the escort of the Ranger Ji Wanbing and the monk Tang Sanzang who had been practicing in Yueying Village, Ai Raphael and his group successfully arrived at the place agreed in advance on the shore.
However, there were already uninvited guests on the boat waiting for them.
Stewart stood on the deck, looking at the group of people walking out of the forest and standing on his shoulders, and his body was already emitting green magic flames.
The four paladins who were tracking the kitten man were shaking on the deck, using their remaining limbs to stain blood to create an extremely complex magic array.
Tsengchi loved his servants using conspiracies to please Him, and for this reason He was happy to give his strength to those who had ambition but had no chance to stand out.
In this world, Tsengchi's favorite is the spellcaster.
Most of them have smart minds and rich knowledge, which is enough to support them to rely on their own wisdom to write a wonderful enough plot.
Sometimes, what this kind of person lacks is only some touch, some motivation, and some information that others have not yet grasped.
Stewart didn't know where he came into contact with Chaos Knowledge. He was very sure that the unknown ancient book was not his cheap tutor, but it appeared on his bookshelf in a blatant manner.
In that book, Stewart learned a lot of knowledge and spells that he had never been exposed to, and this knowledge allowed him to see the truth of this world more clearly.
He saw the greatness of Chaos, the power of Saint Tsengchi, and the true face of the once powerful mentor in his eyes.
It's just a loser who pursues strength but fails to get it.
Stewart believes that in the face of true greatness, strength is at your fingertips.
"Yes, Stewart, look, a perfect conspiracy is easy to accomplish, and you don't need much power." The voice in the void seemed a little sharp, and only Stewart could hear the erratic sound clearly: "Your teacher wants that treasure, and the demon hunter wants that treasure, they are hostile, and there are uninformed paladins and witches. They are also hostile. The chessboard has been set up, so let me see what kind of feast you can offer me!"
"Killing and betrayal, the blood of the brave, the death of the noble, the broken dreams of the ambitious, the exchange of chess pieces and chess players' identities!" The sound in the void caused the spiritual energy in the entire space to tremble, but the vibration was limited to the deck range, and the witches did not notice a trace.
"Don't let me down with the special blood and soul of the Demon Hunter." The last sentence, even Stewart, who was in a craze, heard it, and the sound had already dissipated with the wind.
The dark wizard Victor didn't know how things went. After discovering the trail of the paladins from his apprentices, in less than a day, he found that his previous scattered people had met the paladins.
As a wizard from the Witch King lineage, Victor naturally had some hostility to the church and the gods, but as a wizard, despite being paranoid for so many years, he still didn't want to expose himself so early.
Victor felt that he was not ready, whether it was his betrayal of the Witch King, the fact that he was collecting items, or his own actions.
But Victor has confirmed that the [Mechanical Heart] that he had been looking for for a long time is in the castle where the paladins are stationed.
Originally, Victor planned to arrest a few living people and interrogate the origin of the paladins, but soon he guessed the origin of these paladins.
The Paladin Legion is the earliest and largest pure professional legion in the church.
Only this armed force can accommodate several paladins of different faiths to act together at the same time.
Has the church discovered the secret of [Mechanical Heart]?
After Victor was invisible, he monitored the entire area in the sky. The specially made metal mask allowed him to draw his vision closer and push away at will.
With his glimpse of the [Mechanical Heart] back then, Victor's progress in alchemy can be said to have made great progress, especially the topic of human mechanical prosthetics, as well as the simplification and optimization of metal golem production technology.
If in the mage exchange forum hosted by the Witch King of the New World, Victor believes that he can compete for the Best Invention Award every four years with these two topics.
But in this remote and backward place, Victor could only share his joy with himself in his heart, and no one could understand the greatness of his inventions.
Those apprentices who are familiar with words and magic are all stupid, and their understanding of magic art is completely at the level of weapon level.
Over the years, Victor has not even had a single person to look at.
Therefore, he treated these apprentices as test subjects and cannon fodder without any burden.
Victor has been in the Far Southern Colonial for so many years, in addition to cultivating more than 30 incompetent apprentices, he also secretly funded a mercenary team composed of several professionals to collect materials.
The highest-level apprentice is Stewart. According to the Witch King's division method, he is a Three Rings Mage.
Most of the remaining ones are the Second Ring Road, and there are also a few apprentices who have just completed basic education and have just become an adult.
At this time, all of Victor had been sent to the port of Anthony for reconnaissance.
"Teacher, the paladins of the church seem to be searching for something nearby." A Second Ring Mage contacted Victor through a communication device: "We found traces of lurkers near a temporary hiding place, and we may have been exposed."
"Leave the reconnaissance eye, retreat three kilometers, rebuild the camp, and wait for the reception of the golem team." Victor pressed his impotent impatiently to his opponents: "Be careful to keep the surrounding environment, and next time, organize the Paladins' patrol routes and send them to me."
