Section 3 Image
Sure enough, the happier you are when you are together, the more painful you are when you part. It is actually not too bad to end in this way.
"Fei, pay a little attention to him, don't let her get caught in a trap and get injured or something. Don't worry about anything else. There is also Damon's place. If you have time, ask me about the situation there."
Fei nodded and turned to leave.
"Master, have you noticed her attitude? That one doesn't look like a wife to her husband at all. On the contrary, it's more like a relationship between a boss and a subordinate. This means..."
"What does it mean?"
"Actually, Fei is very ambitious. She wants to be a special existence around you... In a sense, she consciously cannot compete with Leya in women, so she wants to get your recognition from another level."
"Carrie..."
"How do you say, master?"
"Why do I think nothing in this world is simple after you explain it? In a very simple little thing, there are countless thoughts and calculations."
"Haha." Carrie's face showed a smile that made her look to cover up her embarrassment. "You must be an illusion!"
"But, Master, I actually have another suggestion..." In my mind, Carrie suddenly changed the topic. "There is something I think is very important, and you must do it yourself by the master."
"What's the matter?"
"So, in order to strengthen your rule, you must have a more suitable mount."
"What does it mean? Is my Nightmare Horse... not good?"
"Well, the Nightmare Horse is good, but it is just a tool for transportation. In order to strengthen your rule and make everyone unable to ignore your existence, you must need some more powerful image. This dark castle can be used as a symbol, but for those far away from the castle, you must have an image deeply rooted in people's hearts. I must say that with the image you are currently in front of everyone... although wearing red blood armor is very shocking, it is still not enough to... form a concept. Based on the available information, I think choosing a better mount can make up for this flaw."
"Carrie, what do you want me to do?"
"I think you should go find a stronger mount. Fortunately, I have an alternative target here. Master, do you still remember that dragon?"
Ashu Rufate had seen a dragon - the one they met along the way to Sivania. However, when we met last time, the dragon was already dead. Even if the dragon was not dead at that time, it was only the last half of its breath.
"I suggest you use black magic to resurrect that dragon and serve as your mount." Carrie said.
"Resurrect the dragon?" Ashu Rufate asked.
"Well, with your current magical ability, it's a bit difficult. So I suggest you take the Dimension Stone with you." Carrie continued to suggest. "If this goes well, your safety issues will be further consolidated. You don't have to worry about someone lying on the road in the future, ambushing you with cannons or anything else."
"Dimensional stone..." Ashurufat said softly. Now he knew that there was a dimensional stone mine in Sivania. The black magicians had mined some sporadically and put them into use on the battlefield. However, because dimensional stones are very dangerous and have the power to kill contacts, black magicians usually use them very carefully. The main method of using them on the battlefield is to put the dimensional stone into the brazier, so that thick smoke filled with dimensional stone particles is emitted in the brazier and drift towards the enemy with the wind direction. These thick smoke can affect the magic wind and make the enemy's spell caster crazy.
However, except for Ash Rufate, other black magicians did not know that the dimensional stone could be converted back to the black magic energy - Carrie believed that this secret must be kept. Because this secret is really dangerous, it means that as long as you have enough dimensional stones, theoretically, the power of a black magician is enough to create an infinite number of undead legions. In other words, the power of a black magician alone can pose a threat to the entire world.
"If you have a flying dragon as your mount, you can greatly strengthen your rule over Sivania. Now, walking or riding a horse will take several months to travel around your territory. But with a dragon, you can easily circle around in one or two days. And it can be very convenient when you are about to travel far away. With the wings that can travel thousands of miles a day, it will save you a lot, right?"
"This is a good suggestion." Ashu Rufate thought about it carefully. No matter from any perspective, he did not need to reject the proposal. "Just do what you said."
"Please note that the master wants a dragon to be resurrected and restore its flying ability. This is not something that can be done simply by injecting enough black magic energy into the corpse. And be careful, that the dragon has been dead for about two years... You need to consider many factors such as corpse decay, wild beasts devour, etc., so you must make sufficient preparations."
Ashu Rufate knew that Carrie was a master of black magic - he even suspected that compared to Qin Xin, Carrie was more likely to be the source of black magic. Although Ashu Rufate was also considered a spellcaster, in terms of magic, especially in terms of magic knowledge, Ashu Rufate could only barely make do with it. In fact, he was not sure about this evaluation.
"And, master, considering that this matter is faster, the better, and it is best not to let others know about these preparations, so I suggest you... sacrifice some time to accompany Fei and Leya first, and complete the work first. When you finish it, you will have plenty of time to accompany them. Also," Carrie's face showed a sly smile. "I have notified them just now."
"Just? Then..." Ashu Rufate sighed. He has now confirmed that Carrie also has his own ideas and logic. Although Carrie always calls him "master", Carrie will actually deceive him, conceal him, or even disobey him, or even mislead his ideas, distort and change his original intentions. But in a sense, Carrie feels more like a "person" than a soulless machine. At the same time, he also feels that Carrie seems to have changed a little. At the beginning, Carrie is much more like a mechanical machine than now.
"I'm sorry, Master, this time I took the lead and then reported. However, I have calculated that you will definitely agree to my request." Carrie said happily, "And it turns out that I'm right, right?"
"Well, what am I going to prepare for this?"
"First of all, you must temporarily tutor on the skills of black magic. This is...evil...supplement! In short, a lot of magic rituals are needed to prepare for the resurrection dragon... This requires exquisite manipulation and flexible use of magic, and cannot be accomplished by brute force... You also need to create a dragon saddle for riding... In addition, in case of precautions, you must prepare to attack you in reverse after the dragon is resurrected... Well, with your simple mind and well-developed learning level, it may take several days to learn..."
"Simple mind and well-developed limbs..." Although Carrie gave such comments, Ashu Rufate was really said to be terrible. Compared to using magic, he is indeed more suitable for swords to fight.
...
The summer day is particularly long. However, the sun finally admitted that the time for its rule of the world had come to an end and disappeared unwillingly on the horizon. When the last ray of afterglow dissipated and the night just enveloped the world, the gate of the dark castle was quietly opened.
Everyone in Sivania knows that this castle was created by vampires with their powerful dark magic. And it seems that at least in the next ten years, the castle will always stand here. Except for a few times when vampires call their subordinates for a meeting, there is always silence near the castle, and no one dares to get too close to this castle. Therefore, this time the gate of the dark castle was opened without anyone noticed, and no one saw a figure walking out of the castle.
It was Ashu Rufate who left the castle. Although he personally felt that there was no need to hide the fact that the dragon was resurrected, it might be more appropriate to find a few black magicians as assistants. However, Carrie emphasized that riding a dragon can produce the greatest psychological deterrence when others are not mentally prepared. In addition, Ashu Rufate should not expose his true magic level to those full-time magicians.
"Very good, master, there is no one nearby." Carrie said in his mind. "Let's go quickly. Let's slow down here first. After walking a short distance, we can let the Nightmare Horse run with all its might. At this speed... we can quickly reach the location of the corpse."
Asu Ruffat urged the Nightmare Horse as he said, but after walking a few steps, Carrie suddenly spoke up and reminded him. "Wait, master, there is something! I feel that there is a... large life around me!"
Ashu Rufate stopped his mount and looked around. He had dark vision, and watching things in the dark is no different from watching things in the midday sun. However, he looked left and right but couldn't find what Carrie said to be prompted. However, he knew that Carrie would not make any mistakes.
"Well... I understand... it's Mimilu! Master, Mimilu is observing you nearby." In his mind, Carrie made a judgment.
"Mimilu?" As soon as I said this, Ash Rufate understood. The ability of the half-beast clan to discolor and hiding can indeed be hidden so that Ash Rufate could not see it at all. Ash Rufate still remembers that when he first met, although he was very close to Mimilu, it took him a long time to identify Mimilu from the surrounding environment.
"Master, I can turn on the wide-area detection device of the castle, so that I can tell where Mimilu is." Carrie said in his mind. "But if you are determined to say goodbye to Mimilu in this way, then... it's better to ignore her existence and leave directly. To be honest...Master, I think this is not suitable. Maybe you should call Mimilu over and have a good talk with her..."
Ashurufate rode forward. The Nightmare Horse ran in small steps and headed forward.
"Master, your heart is shaking." Carrie continued in her mind. "Speaking of this, the master is really gentle. You are actually afraid of saying goodbye to Mimilu. Although you and her will eventually break up and say goodbye, can't you change a more suitable farewell that is less sad?"
