Chapter 59: Silent Mage Society (Seeking First Chapter)

After Lao Luoan returned, he reported to Naimi Xisi, and the True Dragon said it was very pleased with the Dark Elf's ruthless conduct.

"Very good, Lao Luoan, you did well."

The "trophy" that Lao Luoan brought back to the little black room made Naimi Xisi's heart leap like a great dragon's.

In the living room, the massive dragon hid in the shadows, and he would reward his Dependents.

A sharp force field ripped the dragon's chest, massive streams of fresh blood spurted outward; Lao Luoan bathed in dragon blood, the scorching pain made him let out a wail.

"Accept this power, Lao Luoan, become even stronger." Naimi Xisi's voice drifted uncertainly from afar; Lao Luoan could no longer hear what the other was saying.

Naimi Xisi released the fingernail that had been clawing the wound; the wound, which kept oozing blood, immediately merged within seconds.

He, dizzy and stunned, glanced at the Drow lying on the ground, feeling a bit depressed; this is why he dislikes being granted dragon blood.

A milliliter of astonishing blood had already dyed the entire living room floor crimson; an uninformed observer might think they had entered a cult sacrifice site.

Even as his body grows, the dragon‑blood granting ceremony still makes him feel flesh pain.

Because the symbolic meaning of the ceremony outweighs its practical effect, no matter how much blood he has, to endow a creature with a dragon vein, one must grant an amount of blood proportional to its body.

After casually summoning a few "invisible servants" to clean the living room, Naimi Xisi fell into a deep sleep.

Tomorrow, he still needs to attend a relatively important event. — The next night, a full moon rose in the sky.

This is the full‑moon night of each month; regardless of the sun's rise and set, regardless of the seasons, the 15th of every month is when Selennye scatters moonlight.

Under the full moon, the magical power within the Magic Net becomes more active, and many Monsters go berserk that night.

At the same time, it is an auspicious day for most mages in Frelen to perform rituals.

"This is the place," Maro said with a smile.

Naimi Xisi saw the dilapidated wooden house before him, then glanced at Maro beside him, feeling a bit doubtful.

Are the mages of Degeng City this destitute?

After learning that Maro was a member of a secret mage organization in Degeng City — the Silent Mage Society — Naimi Xisi asked him to introduce himself into it.

But upon seeing this rundown wooden house, Naimi Xisi felt somewhat disappointed.

Maro explained, "The Society's usual meeting place is underground this wooden house; I'll take you inside and you'll see."

The two entered the house, and Naimi Xisi immediately noticed a magical aura shimmering at the center of the floor.

It was an illusion created by illusion magic.

Through the three‑circle Divination spell 【Secret Eye】, Naimi Xisi saw through the illusion; the floor of the entire house was a movable floor door.

Clearly it led to the meeting place Maro mentioned.

Maro made a hand gesture, and the floor instantly opened, revealing a slender passage below.

Every ten meters along the passage, a burning torch was set, emitting a magical glow.

"It's the Immortal Bright Flame."

Second‑circle Evocation spells can create torches that never extinguish, the best way for low‑level mages to earn gold.

The two quickly reached the end of the passage, where a vast empty hall unfolded before them; at the far end of the hall stood a female statue five meters tall.

It was a statue of the night goddess Saar.

Seven mages clad in black robes already stood in the hall's center, scrutinizing Maro and Naimi Xisi.

A man in a black robe approached, lifted his hood, and platinum‑colored long hair cascaded down; emerald‑like eyes sparkled on his handsome face.

"Welcome to the Silent Mage Society, new companion, I am Losri En," the man made a strange gesture while greeting.

Naimi Xisi recognized it as the customary greeting among elves, and the slightly pointed ears also gave away his identity.

A half‑elf mage.

"Hello, I am Naimi Xisi."

The boy's youthful appearance did not cause Losri En to look down on him; even though Maro did not mention it, the half‑elf bloodline granted him a keen intuition for Arcane Power. This silver‑haired youth harbored Arcane Power that could not be taken lightly.

The seasoned Losri En squinted, assessing the youth before him—no, not a youth; his mind formed another conjecture.

A hint of caution flashed in the half‑elf's eyes; this unknown intruder could very well affect his standing at the mage gathering, so he needed to devise a way to deal with the fellow.

At this moment, Naimi Xisi relaxed; through Mind Power reconnaissance, the highest‑ranked mage present was the Losri En before him—a level‑8 mage.

As for the other's petty schemes, he saw them clearly and found them somewhat laughable; a mage society organized by a group of mid‑low level mages might seem mysterious to mortals and even hold high authority in Degeng City, but to Juan Ce Long it is like children playing house.

As Maro told him, this mage society has fallen into a leaderless state; their strongest member disappeared long ago.

The former initiator of the mage gatherings, an 11th‑level Shadow mage devoted to Saar, vanished mysteriously during the Elder Green Dragon's assault on Degeng City.

To this day, he has not returned.

Many members speculate that he may have encountered that Elder Green Dragon and met a gruesome death inside its belly.

After all, an 11th‑level Shadow mage is far too weak to face an Elder Green Dragon.

When Maro relayed this news, Naimi Xisi was rather surprised, because Shadow mages are extremely rare on the surface.

Unlike ordinary mages, Shadow mages draw their power from the entity known as the Shadow Magic Net.

The Shadow Magic Net is a crude imitation made by the night goddess of the Magic Net; in Juan Ce Long's Bloodline Inheritance, apart from the Crystal Wall system of the Tianyu Realm, there is almost no record of such a Magic Net.

After beseeching Saar for mercy, Shadow mages gain the ability to tap into the Shadow Magic Net and cast so‑called Shadow Spells.

Most Shadow Spells within the Shadow Magic Net are plagiarized from normal spells in the Magic Net, then altered.

For example, Magic Missile becomes Shadow Missile, Fireball becomes Shadow Fireball.

Obviously, the Shadow Magic Net is a low‑level replica, so few use it.

The overwhelming majority gather in the Underdark.

Because of Saar's evil reputation, all Shadow mages are reviled, and therefore, before the initiator disappeared, the Silent Mage Society remained an underground organization that never reported to the authorities.

Even during the years of his disappearance, the mages continued to meet here secretly on the full moon of the 15th each month.

Naimi Xisi stepped before the crowd; his youthful appearance aroused many doubts.

"He looks just like a child,"

When will the Silent Mage become a daycare?

I'm very curious about this kid's Spellcaster level.

Amid the many voices of doubt, a seductive female voice sounded, looking at the youth and asking.

Naimi Xisi raised an eyebrow; a wave of Spiritual Power surged into his mind, but it was firmly blocked by Mind Power.

He looked toward the source of that power, a voluptuous, fiery female Mage, who silently released Enchant Human.

A rather powerful 7th-level Confusion Control Mage.

In response to this test, Naimi Xisi gave her a reply.

The yellow vertical pupil flashed and vanished; Mind Power instantly seized the female Mage's thoughts, taming her into a slave.

The female Mage stood silently in place, making no move, yet Naimi Xisi frowned.

Controlling the Spellcaster consumes far more of him than imagined.

He didn't know if it was because she was an Enchanter, but the female Mage occupied two-thirds of his remaining Spiritual Power.

He should note that he now tightly controls fifty 6th-level Shadow Swords and a Ke Li Te. He still has a full half of spare Spiritual Power to use for control.

A 7th-level Enchanter is almost equivalent to thirty 6th-level Shadow Swords.
