An infinite journey that begins at Hogwarts

Mordenkainen has a neat black beard, wears a black velvet coat, and has rings shining with magical aura on his fingers.

Although there is no need to explore the specific attributes of Mordenkainen.

But Cedric has clearly sensed the divine power of this legendary mage. He definitely has more than 10 points of divinity.

However, the path of magic is not easy to follow. Even if he has accumulated enough, he should not have the corresponding priesthood by now. Almost all of these related priesthoods are in the hands of different true gods.

Without a priesthood suitable for him, Mordenkainen would naturally be unable to hold the throne high.

While Cedric was sizing up Mordenkainen, the legendary mage was also sizing up Cedric.

The first impression Cedric gave him was that he was too young. Although for a life above legendary level, you could hardly feel his age from the outside, you could still get a slight sense of the other person's aura from his body. Of course, This premise is that the two parties are similar in personality, not completely different.

After receiving a reply from the legendary mage sent by Eight Leaves to investigate, Cedric, the sudden appearance of the Lord of Dawn City, entered Mordenkainen's eyes.

After all, his purpose is to balance the balance of all the factions in Flanaess, and the sudden appearance of a powerful, unfettered existence like Cedric in this area will naturally attract the attention of Mordenkainen.

And before Mordenkainen could put the visit to Cedric on the schedule, this powerful saint disappeared as suddenly as he appeared.

Not long ago, the incident in Joseph's Garden in the Heroic Realm spread to the outer plane. Mordenkainen immediately made up his mind to put aside other things and visit this new star in the human pantheon.

Although he did not explore Mordenkainen's attribute panel, Cedric already understood why Mordenkainen created the Eight Leaves and why he was described as a moody weirdo.

Everything is for the sake of canonizing the gods.

Mages are all a group of guys who pursue the truth, but the closer they get to the truth, the smaller their individual talents will become. Even a legendary mage with extraordinary talents like Mordenkainen will not have a career level higher than level 30, because above level 30 It has exceeded the limits of His intelligence, just like the realm of God, visible but hard to touch.

Since the path of professional level cannot lead to the truth, mages will of course set their sights on the true God.

After all, the true gods who hold the authority of the world are considered to be the group of beings closest to the truth in the world.

That's why there is Karthus's Divine Conferment Technique.

However, most mages' path to becoming gods is not even as good as the melee professionals they despise. Even after rigorous statistics, the success rate of mages to become gods is less than one-fiftieth of that of warriors.

The biggest reason is that the path of mages is too narrow. They are on the continent of studying rules. In the DND world, whether they are arcanists or magicians, there are so many traces of magic nets on them that they can choose There are only a few ways to become a god.

In this situation, when the priesthood is preempted by the true god, the only option is to kill the god.

Therefore, mages often have a strange standard for their spells, that is, whether it is a spell that is enough to kill a god, because they have no way ahead and can only open it with force. This is also one of the reasons why Karsus' god-making technique came about.

But which of the true gods in charge of the above-mentioned priesthoods is easy to get along with, so from the end of the Turbulent Era to the present, there has been no new native mage-god born in the DND universe.

The Mordenkainen in front of him undoubtedly took another path.

He created Eight Leaves to forcefully balance the power between all camps. Not only did he have a bad reputation in the evil camp, he was also considered an untrustworthy person in the good camp.

As a legendary mage whose purpose is to study the truth, would he really be looking for something to do?

Combined with his current embarrassing situation, Cedric could only think of one possibility. The essence of the eight leaves to balance all the factions in Flanis is a large-scale god-conferring ceremony. Mordenkain needs to use this god-conferring ceremony that has been running for hundreds of years. The ritual acquires something special, perhaps divinity, perhaps a new priesthood, to help Him take that most important step.

Thinking of this, Cedric's expression became more and more relaxed. People with weaknesses are not scary no matter how strong they are.

Seeing Cedric's relaxed expression, Mordenkainen's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, even though he was young, there was no one he could get along with if he could reach this point.

He considered it for a moment and said, "I am here this time to discuss the offensive and defensive alliance treaty you proposed last time."

Cedric did not directly answer Mordenkainen's words, but asked, "Is your situation in Flanaess not good now?"

Mordenkainen was silent. The current situation in Eight Leaves is not only bad, it has almost reached the point where everyone is shouting for a fight. You may be able to maintain the balance of power in a region for a hundred years, but maintaining it for hundreds of years is nothing.

Do you really think of yourself as a god?

Therefore, Mordenkainen had to step down from his position as chief of the Eight Leaves and stay out of people's sight in order to be able to maintain the current situation in the face of force, but this kind of maintenance would not last long.

Once everyone's dissatisfaction with Baye breaks out, with the combination of countless good and evil forces, Baye will disappear in the Flanaess area overnight.

Cedric smiled and said, "It seems that we can really reach an alliance. You help me develop and defend the Dawn City outside, and I help you balance the dissatisfaction with the Eight Leaves within Flanaess. We each get what we need. "

"How to balance" Mordenkainen asked.

"In addition to strength, do you have other ways to balance all camps?" Cedric smiled.

The most important reason why the Eight Leaves founded by Mordenkainen is currently in turmoil is that its top-level combat power is not enough to convince everyone. Regardless of the transcendent saints, the top-level forces have many divine beings.

Legendary mages have absolute deterrent power against ordinary extraordinary beings and even legendary melee combatants of the same level, but they are not so effective against divine beings.

Due to the inherent resistance of divinity and its own legendary profession, the first action of any legendary mage facing a divine life is to retreat first, rather than rushing forward to snatch divinity.

Among the Eight Leaves, except for Mordenkainen who has condensed a complete weak divinity, the other high-level legendary mages are still exploring the path of true god.

Mordenkainen listened to Cedric's words and nodded seriously, "This is a good idea. It's time for Baye to clear his name."
