Free Web NovelChapter 1683: Chapter 565: Black Magic, Full Level Dragon Speaker
[Note! You killed an important member, Ostia Kingdom’s goodwill has decreased to: Hostile (latent)]
...
A smile appeared on Lord Cao Xing’s face, "Very good, Binglan has successfully leveled up to full level!"
"If I could obtain a sword relic next, it would be great, so she can try to reach Legendary."
As for the last bit of information about the decrease in goodwill, he naturally ignored it.
In his heart, Victoria was someone from his territory, and after the Ostia Kingdom learned that this Mind Energy Queen was still alive, they certainly wouldn’t let her go.
By then, they would definitely send people to deal with her, which would lead to a conflict with Lord Cao Xing.
In other words, the Ostia Kingdom itself belongs to the enemy forces.
Cao Xing shook his head, no longer considering these matters.
"Renice, go help me gather all the items."
"Yes."
With that said, Renice began to clean up the battlefield.
The battle ended swiftly after the Dragon Speaker and Serafis appeared.
It was only then that the elves reacted.
Elf Clan Chief Oriel said in shock, "Unimaginable, this lady can not only control the giant dragon but also possesses such immense strength!"
"They could even become the rulers of this forest!"
Cao Xing said, "She is my subordinate, Binglan."
The Elf Clan Chief was amazed again.
"To have such a powerful being pledge allegiance to you, you truly are a remarkable Lord!"
"You saved our Elf Clan, please allow me to express my heartfelt gratitude!"
With those words, the Elf Mage placed her right hand on her chest and solemnly bowed to Lord Cao Xing.
Other elves also bowed in unison.
A system prompt appeared.
[Due to your aid, the Ancient Elf Tribe’s goodwill towards you has increased; current goodwill: Friendly.]
...
At this moment, these ancient elves no longer had any reservations about Lord Cao Xing.
Of course, this does not mean that these elves are naive, thanking anyone who saves them on a whim.
They have considered that this Otherworldly Lord might have staged a play with these soldiers to gain the elves’ trust.
But the recent events have already dispelled all doubts.
After all, no matter how clever the act, it’s impossible to do so at the cost of more than a thousand soldiers and the life of a seventh-tier mage!
Cao Xing said, "Well then, Clan Chief Oriel, I believe you have seen."
"Your tribe’s location has now been exposed, it is no longer safe here."
"In my territory, beings as powerful as Binglan aren’t limited to one; there are the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, Wind Ancient Tree, and others."
"If you are willing to join, at least you won’t have to worry about safety."
Clan Chief Oriel’s face showed a moved expression.
In fact, he already had the thought of joining Lord Cao Xing when Binglan and her giant dragon appeared.
Such powerful beings could undoubtedly protect the Elf Clan.
Taking advantage of the situation, Cao Xing added, "In the days to come, you don’t need to worry about your clansmen adapting to a new territory or having trouble integrating with others."
"My territory accommodates many races. Besides the Human Clan, there are the Polar People, Tree Spirit Clan, Dream Spirit Race, and others."
"Everyone coexists harmoniously on the same land, contributing their strength to the territory."
Clan Chief Oriel seemed swayed by Cao Xing’s words and responded:
"Lord Cao Xing, your territory is indeed enticing, and I would be delighted to join."
"But before that, please allow me to work things out with my clansmen."
"Alright."
Cao Xing nodded slightly, not in a hurry.
Then, the Elf Clan Chief turned around, gathered all the elves who could still move, and started a meeting.
At this time, Renice brought over the items that had just fallen and respectfully said.
"Lord, please have a look."
A smile appeared on Cao Xing’s face as he accepted them.
[Obtained: Alec Ford’s Commander-level Soul (Seventh Rank)]
[Obtained: Twisted Wood Wand (Orange)]
[Obtained: Evil Crystal*1]
[Obtained: Fourth and Fifth-tier Elite Soul*14]
[Obtained: Expert Level Power Heart *6]
[Obtained...]
...
Besides the commander-level soul from the Great Mage, there was also an epic quality wand.
As for the items dropped by other soldiers, they were considered standard.
Cao Xing first looked at the attributes of the epic wand.
[Twisted Wood Wand (Orange)]
[Quality: Epic]
[Equipment Level: Level 60]
[Attack Power: 4189~4297]
[Attached Effect 1: Spirit +1000, Constitution +600, Casting Speed +20%]
[Attached Effect 2: Evil Thought Amplification (When casting magic, has a 30% chance to increase this magic’s attack power by 50%, but will increase cooling time by 30%)]
[Attached Effect 3: Twisted Spirit (All curse system magic effects increased by 30%)]
(Equipment Introduction: A certain evil soul is sealed within this wand; when casting magic, one can faintly hear the resentful spirit’s wails...)
...
"Oh? A wand that strengthens curse abilities?"
"This wand seems suitable for Fanazi."
After all, in his territory, only this priestess has mastered the curse power.
Satisfied, he nodded and stored the wand in his backpack.
Then, Cao Xing checked another new item.
[Evil Crystal]
[Quality: Unknown]
[Tool Effect: A certain evil alchemy material, containing the entirety of a Black Mage’s evil energy, if its black magic power is accidentally leaked, it will pollute a vast area of land, preventing recovery for hundreds of years]
(Note: Those who touch black magic will gain powerful magic power at the cost of their bodies and spirits; every time black magic is cast, a portion of life force is absorbed, forming this crystal.
When black magic gets out of control, it will devour one’s life, causing severe damage to the surroundings.)
...
"Is it really a crystal formed from the mage’s body?"
"So it seems, Victoria was right after all."
"The King of Ostia clearly knew the mage wielded black magic but did not stop him; he even allowed its practice."
"By inference, this kingdom surely has several beings controlling black magic."
"This thing... It truly poses a significant danger, long-term use will continuously receive rebound from black magic."
"Once it all erupts, it would be a disaster!"
Cao Xing furrowed his eyebrows slightly, then shook his head and said.
"Forget it, it’s not my concern; if this kingdom truly lets black magic run rampant and threaten the continent, there will be other strong players stepping in."
"What I need to focus on now is fully dealing with the threat of the Bloody Army!"
Thinking of this, Cao Xing decided not to bother with the Ostia Kingdom’s misuse of black magic anymore.
He stored the [Evil Crystal] in his backpack.
"Now, it’s time to utilize that commander-level soul."
He already had a candidate for its use in mind.
His gaze turned to the two figures on the dragon’s back.
...
