False prophecies kill people [Western Fantasy]

"I was poisoned in the fight with the monster. The side effects of the poison were obvious, and I couldn't study myself."

The pale wizard half leaned on the test bench, his voice was hoarse and slightly trembling, obviously enduring the pain.

Xie Yi's expression remained unchanged, he stood in the empty "communication room".

In the projection similar to a holographic image, the wizard's face is slightly distorted.

"What do you want me to do?"

After a while of silence, Xie Yi asked.

There is a communication room inside each wizard tower. When the wizards who own the wizard tower want to seek help from other wizards but do not have familiar wizards, they will basically turn to the communication room of the wizard tower.

The communication rooms of all wizard towers are connected to each other. When a wizard initiates a communication, the communication request will be randomly matched, and which wizard can be matched depends on luck.

Xie Yi didn't know the poisoned wizard in front of him, but the other party didn't shy away, and directly said what he wanted to ask for help.

"I feel like the toxin is eating into my body, and by the time it reaches my heart, my life will be over."

The wizard said: "I hope you can come to study the poison on my body, and I am willing to open my wizard tower to you." Speaking of this, he took a breath, obviously the poison made him very uncomfortable.

Xie Yi once said when giving the village chief the plant growth potion, wizards pay attention to equal exchange.

This is true, but wizards usually only care about it with fellow wizards.

"What are your conditions?"

The promise of the wizard opposite is very tempting, at least for the wizard.

Studying an overbearing toxin, most likely unknown, and, if the research required, Shay could even perform a vivisection on that wizard.

The opponent's wizard tower is fully open to him.

With such a lucrative and attractive promise, what would be the conditions proposed by the other party?

Want me to study this toxin and revive him?

The wizard in the projection coughed twice: "I know you, Xie Yi, you are the leader of this wizard assembly, and I believe in the knowledge you have accumulated. I only have one request."

He said: "I will allow you to dissect my body if you want, but I will ask you to dissect me and keep me conscious throughout."

"You have to temporarily maintain my life until everything about this toxin is researched, and I want you to share all the information about this toxin with me. At that time, if I die, my wizard tower will be given to me. you."

The wizard in the projection in front of him was the first wizard other than Jacob that Xie Yi came into contact with.

The other party's meaning is also very clear, basically: I have been poisoned by a poison I don't understand, and I am about to die now. I believe in your technology, so I invite you to study me, and you can use all means to deal with it. I conduct research, but you must keep me conscious during the research process, and when you finish your research, you must share all the knowledge you have researched with me.

And if I die unfortunately, I will give you my wizard tower.

Xie Yi guessed many kinds of requests the other party would make, after much deliberation, he felt that the most likely thing was to save him by himself.

But he guessed wrong.

He didn't even think about the conditions proposed by the other party.

After all, the other party wanted to know everything about this toxin.

Only.

Xie Yi summed up the characteristics of wizards, that is, to obtain knowledge at all costs.

This is the case with the wizard in front of him, and the meaning of the other party is also very clear, as long as he knows all the knowledge, even if Xie Yi kills him, he will give Xie Yi his wizard tower.

Xie Yi raised his eyebrows, and began to look at the group of wizards again.

No, it's not easy to make a decision. Who knows if the wizard in front of him is just a special one among the wizards?

"Do you want to?"

The wizard in the projection waited for a while, and asked eagerly: "If you really don't want to share all of it, you can just share half of the knowledge with me."

Xie Yi was silent for a while.

He really understood what knowledge meant to a wizard.

"I agree." Xie Yi nodded and agreed, no matter what, it was beneficial to him.

but……

"What if I can't research the nature of this toxin?"

Xie Yi asked.

He will not blindly and arrogantly think that he will be able to research the essence of the toxin, he is very likely to fail.

The wizard on the opposite side didn't seem to care about this: "I just need you to study with all your heart and share all the knowledge with me. If you really can't research it, it can only be said that the knowledge reserve is not enough and you need to continue to accumulate it. My conditions are not good enough." Change."

Xie Yi nodded in response, and he made a contract oath with the wizard at the other end of the projection.

The other party breathed a sigh of relief, and reported the address of the wizard tower where he was, "I hope you come here now, I have opened the wizard tower's authority to you."

Xie Yi complied without hesitation.

"Wait a minute." Before ending the communication, Xie Yi made a request: "Since you have opened the authority of the wizard tower to me, do you mind if I use your wizard tower to start the wizard assembly?"

The other party hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

He thought that he was bound to die, so it became much more acceptable to lend the wizard tower to Xie Yi to hold the wizard meeting.

After the communication was over, Xie Yi began to count the contact information of all the wizards he currently has.

At a rough count, there are only about 67 of them.

67, which is already the "vast majority" of wizards.

Of course, the wizards referred to here are serious wizards, not village witches.

The number of people is too small, no wonder they will be wiped out by Sexitus in the manuscript story.

It was a surprise to contact his wizard. Originally, Xie Yi was still thinking about where to start the wizard gathering.

According to the practice of wizards in the past, opening a wizard gathering is usually to find an abandoned stone castle, and there are many such ruins on this continent.

But this time, Xie Yi had his own purpose in starting the Wizards' Gathering, and he needed experimental equipment.

The best option is to hold the rally in the wizard tower, but Xie Yi absolutely cannot hold it in his own wizard tower.

Now a sorcerer happened to come to his door, offering a ready-made venue.

Xie Yi was very satisfied.

His research is basically completed, and he has mastered all the witchcraft that should be mastered. His strength is enough to protect himself.

So he sent messages to the 67 wizards one by one, telling them the address where the wizarding meeting was held, and explaining that this is the wizarding tower, inviting them to attend.

In order to increase the participation rate of wizards, Xie Yi also specifically indicated that he has a new research to share with all wizards.

This is the most attractive thing, Xie Yi would not write about "discussing the future of the wizarding world together", if he really wrote that, most wizards would definitely not come.

The wizard who contacted Xie Yi was named Benlik, and his wizard tower was far from Xie Yi's wizard tower.

Judging from the traffic conditions of this era, it would take at least five days to walk.

Xie Yi made full preparations and took Jacob out together.

The road was not peaceful. Xie Yi and the others encountered at least five waves of robbers, but Jacob solved them quickly. He skillfully used witchcraft to bring down the robbers, and then robbed the robbers, in turn looting the robbers' property.

Judging by his proficiency, it must not be the first time he has done this kind of thing.

They passed through a bustling city, stopped to resupply, and rested for the night by the way.

Early the next morning, Xie Yi received a letter.

The person who wrote the letter was the high priest of the Sky Goddess Temple, and he wanted to talk to Xie Yi.

This is very strange, wizards and these temple priests have always been very different from each other, and the two sides basically do not deal with each other.

In addition, the Temple of the Sky Goddess in this city is the main hall, that is to say, the high priest who invited Xie Yi to talk is the person with the highest status in the sect that believes in the Sky Goddess.

What can he and Xie Yi have to talk about?

Xie Yi didn't have that much time to hang around, and the wizard Benlik was deeply poisoned, so he might not last long.In order to avoid accidents and ruin his plan, Xie Yi pretended that he hadn't seen the letter, and left after the supplies were finished.

However, just as he was about to leave, the high priest who had written to him stopped him.

Or, it cannot be said to be blocked.

The high priest in a white robe stood quietly beside Xie Yi's carriage, the sunlight pouring down on him, making him a bit more holy than other dust.

His long hair is white, his eyelashes are also white, but his pupils are deep blue.

The high priest looked very good-looking, much like the angel Xie Yi had heard of.

Holy and beautiful.

"May the goddess' blessing always be with you, my lord wizard."

The voice of the high priest is also very pleasant, clear and cold, like the impact of jade.

Xie Yi admired this face very much, but it's a pity that he is in a hurry now, otherwise he would be willing to talk to this priest.

"how?"

He kept his wizard character in mind, and said indifferently and impatiently: "What's the matter with you?"

"I waited all night." The high priest said, but there was no blame in his tone, only pure doubts: "You didn't come because you didn't receive my letter?"

Xie Yi: "I received it, but I don't think I need to go."

"Now, get out of the way, I'm leaving."

"Okay." The high priest didn't force him, he took out a thick envelope and handed it to Xie Yi, "When I was waiting for you yesterday, I wrote down all the words I wanted to say, please do it when you have time Read this letter."

Xie Yi didn't take the letter directly, he first looked at the letter with the eyes of truth, and stretched out his hand after making sure it was safe.

The high priest held the letter in both hands, and when Xie Yi took it, he showed a nice smile: "In that case, I won't bother you anymore, may the goddess bless you on your journey."

Xie Yi didn't nod, because wizards don't believe in gods.

After the sorcerer's carriage left, the high priest, whom he evaluated as an angel, still stood there, watching the sorcerer leave.

He said to himself, "Why did you choose a wizard?"

"A wizard who doesn't believe in you, why is he so special?"
