Chapter 1007 Meeting With The Head Of The Seventh Demon Clan
Chapter 1007 Meeting With The Head Of The Seventh Demon Clan
“The limitation set on high-ranked magic items is unfortunate. That being said, if others were also able to take on the Magic Architect profession, isn’t it possible to create as many high-ranked magic items as you wish so long as you possess the resources?” Izroth inquired.
If the process of creating magic items was as easy as Morrighan said, then any person with a decent head on their shoulders could become a Magic Architect. Of course, there was always the chance that Morrighan downplayed the difficulty of creating a new magic item. After all, she was one of the top mages among players in RML. What was considered easy to her may not necessarily be seen as easy for others.
Morrighan, however, shook her head and replied, “If becoming a Magic Architect was the same as most other professions, it would be a feasible idea. Unfortunately, if one wishes to become a Magic Architect, there are three essential factors to take into consideration. Magic aptitude, a high level of mana control, and, the most important factor–luck.”
“Oh? Why is luck placed so high on the list?” Izroth asked.
“Perhaps there are other ways to acquire the Magic Architect profession. However, based on my own experiences, it requires one to obtain a legendary-grade Profession Specialization Scroll.” Morrighan explained.
She then continued, “I got lucky and found one among some ancient abandoned ruins in Proximus. It is the same place I came across the ancient scrolls containing information about the possible applications of the Blood of the Immortal Hydra.”
‘A Profession Specialization Scroll… I’ve never heard of it, but from its name and the fact that it’s a legendary-grade item, I can roughly guess its effects.’
“Interesting. There’s such a place in Proximus?”
Izroth had been to the kingdom of Proximus before, but he did not yet have the chance to explore it in its entirety.
Not to mention, the location of the Proximus kingdom is exactly where the Danger Lands used to be.
The Danger Lands was a place that housed several unique races in the past. Therefore, Izroth was not surprised that Morrighan managed to stumble across something like abandoned ancient ruins.
“It is a pity, but that place destroyed itself not long after I claimed ownership of its contents.” Morrighan sighed regretfully.
Most players would keep such important information close to their hearts. This was even more so when it came to acquiring things like legendary-grade items.
However, Morrighan spoke without concern and Izroth could tell that she was not lying about the ruins being destroyed for the sake of hoarding everything to herself. Of course, even if she did, Izroth would not have blamed her for doing so.
Still, to share such information with him, Izroth did not know if Morrighan’s trust in him had risen by a good deal, or if she was just that confident in protecting what was hers. Either way it went, Izroth was not disappointed.
“A pity indeed,” Izroth said with a carefree smile.
He then continued, “Then, shall we get back on track and finish going over the basic proposal?”
“That suits me just fine. I am rather curious to find out what kind of proposal Palace Master Izroth has in store for me.” Morrighan stated as her lips curved into a playful smirk.
…
After a few moments passed, Izroth’s conversation with Morrighan came to an end.
Izroth sent the details of the basic proposal over to Fang Qiu, she was surprised to see that, even though it was a rough proposal, the foundations were solid. She knew that, without a doubt, Izroth had thought things through so thoroughly.
After that, Fang Qiu gave Izroth an earful about how come he couldn’t think things through this clearly when setting up the Mystical Realm Palace.
But, Izroth could not refute Fang Qiu’s words because she was correct. In the beginning, he did not pay it much mind and simply threw everything together without a second thought. It was not that he was incapable of doing so, but rather that he found it troublesome and not high on his list of priorities at the time.
Nevertheless, Fang Qiu was unable to hide the enthusiasm in her voice. The addition of a Magic Architect and the potential emergence of an auction house at the Mystical Realm Palace would bring the shop to even greater heights.
No, calling it a simple shop anymore would be inaccurate. Instead, wouldn’t they finally be taking their real first steps towards becoming a legitimate business group?!
‘Now that I’ve taken care of things with the Phantom Queen, there’s one more matter I have left to see to.’
Once he settled things with Fang Qiu, Izroth parted ways with Morrighan. And, right now, Izroth was on his way to meet up with the current head of the Seventh Demon Clan!
‘Well, then… Shall we find out who’s so eager to meet me?’
Tal’Yah mentioned that her goal was to capture Izroth and bring him back alive. However, since they did not have much time for idle chat in the middle of a battlefield, Izroth did not get a chance to find out who gave Tal’Yah that order. And, more importantly, why Tal’Yah, the head of the Seventh Demon Clan, willingly accepted it.
‘Just how far has the Seventh Demon Clan fallen?’
Due to the quest given to him by Tal’Nis, Izroth knew that the Seventh Demon Clan had been in decline for generations after losing contact with Tal’Nis sometime after the Fourth War of the Titans.
Still, based on the fact that Tal’Nis was able to climb to a place like the Divine Realm and the temperament she displayed, how could her descendants behave like some mercenaries for hire?
If Tal’Nis knew of what they had become, wouldn’t she cough up blood from sheer anger?
Whatever the case, Izroth had to find out what was going on with the Seventh Demon Clan if he ever wanted to succeed in helping them to re-establish their connection to the Seven Flames of Tal and regain their footing as a clan.
‘This place should do.’
Izroth abruptly halted his steps and said, “I know you’re watching. This should be far away enough from the camp, right? So, why don’t you stop hiding and show yourself now?”
Izroth had traveled more than one hundred meters away from where the 2nd Unit and 9th Division were temporarily camped out. The words he spoke seemed to be directed to no one in particular; however, not even half a breath passed before a cloaked figured appeared soundlessly in front of Izroth.
“I was beginning to think you would not keep your word. I must say, I’m surprised. I thought for sure that I had been thoroughly fooled.” The cloaked figure spoke before removing their hood.
This person who appeared was precisely the one Izroth came out here to meet. The current head of the Seventh Demon Clan, Tal’Yah.
“A man is only as good as his word. Since I’ve agreed to do something, naturally, I will follow through.” Izroth stated calmly.
Right after finished speaking, Tal’Yah wasted no time and began to ask, “That necklace-“
“Wait,” Izroth said as he held up his hand and cut off Tal’Yah.
“What is it?” Tal’Yah frowned.
She was unable to hide the restlessness within her eyes. It was obvious to Izroth that she had many questions for him. However, Izroth also had questions of his own that he needed to be answered. He could not allow Tal’Yah to start throwing a barrage of questions his way one-sidedly.
“First, we should set some basic ground rules. I’m sure you’re feeling quite curious right about now. But I, also have some things I’m interested in. So, we’ll each take turns asking questions. How about it?” Izroth said without mincing his words.
Hearing Izroth speak so clearly and in a straightforward manner, Tal’Yah realized that she had been too anxious and quickly calmed herself.
“Very well. Then, I would like to be the first one to ask a question. Is that alright with you?” Tal’Yah requested.
Izroth gave a small nod and replied, “That’s fine. Though I already have a good idea of what it is that you wish to know.”
The next moment, the Seventh Origin Flames Necklace appeared in Izroth’s hand as he held it out for Tal’Yah to see.
“You want to know where those flames from earlier came from, right?”
