Chapter 105: Before Departure (Part 1)

  I sat face-to-face with Losa, this posture was as if we were negotiating, making me feel extremely uncomfortable, but there was no way about it, Losa insisted on doing so.

  "I hesitated for a long time before finally saying: 'Alright, Lord Losa, what is it that you want to say...'"

  "Let's talk about this mission and the partner you'll be executing it with..." Losa said seriously.

  So it was, it seems that before parting ways, Losa wanted to entrust me with some important matters.

  Losa took out a black ring from her bosom and handed it to me. I took it over and carefully examined it in my hand. This mysterious ring was engraved with many complex and unknown patterns, and the material was also unknown metal-made, which felt very heavy when placed in the hand. The whole ring emitted a mysterious feeling that made people's eyes be attracted immediately, and their hearts were fascinated. I almost got lost in it for an instant, but soon I came back to my senses and forcibly broke away from its attraction.

  I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and took a deep breath, saying: "Wow, this ring is something else!" Losa looked at me, nodding his head in satisfaction.

  "This is the token of the Shaman High Priest of the Beastman Empire. After you arrive at the capital of the Beastman Empire, Derema, hand it over to their Shaman Priest Salen, and then give him this letter. He will teach you the unique Thunder Magic of their Shaman Priests." Losa handed me another letter sealed with fire wax, I took it without looking and put it together with the ring into my storage ring.

  I asked doubtfully, "What makes you think I can learn the Thunder Magic of the Beastman Shaman? That's their unique heritage, and besides, even if I could learn it, would he agree to teach me?"

  Luo Sa chuckled a few times: "In the past, I once helped the Salen clan in an accidental opportunity. He wanted to thank me, but I refused. I only asked him to pass on the Thunder One series of magic to the person I chose in the future. This is our agreement. He gave me this ring and told me that as long as the person I chose can avoid being confused by this ring, he can pass it on. So many years have passed, not that no one can escape the confusion of this ring, but someone who can get out so quickly, except for you, there is no one else, even I need to take a while."

  "Why don't you learn thunder magic then? You can teach whoever you want to, right?" I asked in puzzlement.

  Luo Sa stroked his beard and shook his head, "Is the beastman's shamanic skills so easy to learn? The beastmen have a tradition, if you want to become a shaman, you must do it before the age of thirty, otherwise you will never be able to learn the shamanic skills. I was already fifty years old at that time, I couldn't possibly learn their shamanic skills."

  Luo Sa tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Now let's talk about the partner I've arranged for you. This time, as Larsen's representative, you'll be executing this task. Other forces have also sent their most promising and strongest elites. In fact, it can be said that this task is a joint secret operation carried out by several major forces that haven't been completely controlled by that woman yet."

  "Partners? I was filled with curiosity about the collaborators of the future, and I asked somewhat urgently: "What kind of people are they? Tell me quickly."

  Losa smiled and held out his hand in a "wait" gesture, picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee before speaking slowly: "This time, the Sel Empire from the Human Empire sent their strongest assassin. This assassin had once infiltrated the Moon God Temple in the Dark Elf Kingdom alone, stealing two divine artifacts, a dagger called 'Moonlight Blade' and a ring called 'Moonlight Ring'. He has successfully assassinated nearly two hundred enemies of various kinds, even killing a Red Archbishop from the Church."

  I stared at Losa with a black line on my head and asked: "Is this assassin called Aiven?"

  Luo Sa looked at me in surprise and said: "Huh? You know him?"

  "I rolled my eyes and said, 'This strongest assassin was able to escape the pursuit of the dark elves with my help, and his sister is now with me. Why does he always appear in front of me whenever something happens? He's really a lingering ghost..."

  Luosa burst out laughing and said: "You actually know him, it seems that your relationship is quite good, great, really great."

  I waved my hand and said, "Don't mention him, my relationship with him isn't as good as you think. Let's talk about others, has the Necromancer Guild sent anyone to participate in this operation?"

  Losa shook his head and said, "The Necromancer's Guild has completely split up, and more than half of the forces have fallen into that woman's hands. The guild leader, Necromancer Sandral, is busy organizing power to take back control and prevent the guild from being completely controlled by that woman. They are self-sufficient, all elites have been sent out to eliminate the vice president's claws on one hand, and to put out the zombie attacks they caused in various places on the other hand. It's not possible for them to spare any hands or feet. The letter you brought is specifically from Sandral to explain the situation. They are unable to send anyone to participate, and in the letter, Sandral also requested that I send out Larsson's forces to support him. I plan to send your brother Tissen out, he can use this opportunity to improve his strength and become a great magician."

  I nodded and said: "Then there should be people sent by other forces and races. Who are they?"

  Luo Sa nodded and continued, "The Moonlight Spirit Tribe sent out their Holy Maiden. Their Holy Maiden possesses powerful natural healing and attack magic. I'm not too clear on the specifics, but what I do know is that once a tribe's Holy Maiden is chosen to receive the blessings and inheritance of the Moon God, her magical powers immediately reach the level of a Great Mage. Given time, even a Magic Master may not be able to withstand her."

  The Holy Maiden of the Moonlight Spirit Tribe? Has the Moonlight Spirit Tribe already chosen its own Holy Maiden? When I was there, I heard Freya's grandfather mention that the Spirit Tribe hadn't had a Holy Maiden in a long time. Once the Spirit Tribe's Holy Maiden appears, it means the Moon Goddess has chosen her representative on the continent of Aichner. The Holy Maiden replaces the Moon Goddess in spreading her faith on the continent of Aichner and receives the Moon Goddess' blessing and inheritance, and may even become a demigod existence in the end. But in my heart, only Freya is the Holy Maiden I acknowledge. I have no interest in anyone else becoming the Holy Maiden.

  Upon hearing Losa's words, I simply nodded calmly and asked: "Oh, what's the name of that Holy Maiden?"

  Losa said: "I received a notice from the Elf tribe that mentioned, the Elf tribe's Holy Maiden is called Freya, and she just became the Holy Maiden not long ago."
