Chapter 1348
Until Fenike went back to report, Negris suddenly slapped his waist muscle and realized:
"I said, why did you insist on letting him go to hand in the task in the name of Emperor Empress Feilie? When in the Boundless Great Void, the Guman Snake had already seen the Old Immortal impersonating Emperor Empress Feilie. Now using this name again, wouldn't it expose the Old Immortal? It turns out you already knew it saw through the Old Immortal's identity. How did you know?"
Anthony smiled calmly: "Guessed."
"Guessed? How did you guess?" Negris asked, stunned.
"If the King of Empress Feilie had died, then our impersonation of the King of Empress Feilie would be foolproof. But later we already knew that the King of Empress Feilie didn't die, and even became the Lord of Stars. Would the Guman Snake not know about the existence of such a powerful person?" Anthony asked.
Negris nodded: "It would indeed pay more attention. When I was a giant dragon, if another powerful magical beast came to the territory, I would also pay close attention to it. But the problem is, what if? What if it really didn't know about the existence of the King of Empress Feilie? After all, the other party was hiding. Wouldn't that be equivalent to exposing the Old Immortal?"
"Exposed, then what?" Anthony asked, spreading his hands.
"Then... then... then it's fine..." It had already reached this stage. If the Old Immortal's identity was exposed, so be it. What was the big deal?
It wasn't. It was just that Negris always felt that exposing his identity so easily was like throwing away a chip. What if he needed to use it later?
"Need to use? Let Fenike go. He now represents the King of Empress Feilie," Anthony smiled.
After the joke was over, Anthony began to explain seriously: "Some things cannot be left ambiguous. Once I discovered that the King of Empress Feilie didn't die, I began to suspect whether the Guman Snake knew we were impersonating him. If I couldn't determine this point, the future plan would definitely be tied up. So I simply stirred up the water, changed an identity, and could probe out many things."
"What did you probe out?" Negris asked.
"The Guman Snake not only knows the King of Empress Feilie, but also knows the Strange Tree and the Dragon-men. It knows everything. I suddenly understand why Kadizi, this shadow of the god, had to pull us into the shadow every day when talking," Anthony said.
"Ah? Kadizi was guarding against it? Then we also said a lot of things there. Could it be that they were all heard by it?" Negris was shocked.
Anthony shook his head: "This is just my speculation, but my lord has never reacted. I trust my lord's perception ability more. If my lord doesn't react, it means it's fine."
Ang was the foundation of their team. As a spokesperson, Anthony trusted the ability of the main god more. My lord is omnipotent.
Just talking about Ang, there was movement on Ang's side. He finally finished checking all the Star Flame he brought back and took it out from the Star Flame crystal.
"Let's go, let's go see how my lord handles those Star Flames. Ten equivalents of Star Flame are more than ten Mai Fortresses combined," Anthony said.
It must be said that ten equivalents of Star Flame are very tempting. Mai Fortress had been imprinted for so long, and its main body had been lying on the molten fire absorbing Star Flame, and it had only barely saved up zero point something equivalents.
To eliminate them, the Guman Snake took out ten equivalents in one breath, equivalent to the total amount of fourteen Mai Fortresses. As long as it digested these Star Flames, it would soon become a Star Flame Giant fourteen times stronger than Mai Fortress.
Arriving at Ang's position, I saw him taking out the Star Flames from the Star Flame crystals one by one, first guiding them to the main body of the Star of the Azure God, turning a circle, and then taking them back.
"Ang, what are you doing? Why let the Old Star absorb it first?" Negris asked suspiciously.
"There are outsiders, aura," Ang replied.
"Outsider's aura?" Negris habitually sniffed with his nose, and then found that he had no sense of smell, so he had to ask: "Whose aura? The Guman Snake's?"
"The restricted Little Fireman, and the Guman Snake's," Ang said.
Negris looked at the Star Flame in Ang's hand, and then looked at the main body of the Star of the Azure God, shaking his head. Anyway, he couldn't distinguish any aura, so he simply asked: "Aren't they all Star Flame? What will happen if they are stained with their aura?"
"Will be affinity," Ang said.
"Uh, you mean to say that these Star Flames will be like affinity-treated magic power, subject to their control?" Negris asked.
What hasn't been affinity-treated is called element, what has been affinity-treated is called magic power, and the ability to affinity-treat them is called spiritual power. This is a concept in the magic system. Ang took it and applied it to Star Flame, and Negris understood it immediately.
"Then the molten fire of the Divine Star counts as an element that hasn't been affinity-treated. The Little Fireman is equivalent to the God of Elements. It is the element itself, and the restricted Little Fireman is the same. So it was caught by the Guman Snake and used as an element source?"
For ordinary people to become mages, the most important thing is to exercise spiritual power. If spiritual power is powerful, they can resonate with elements, thereby making the resonant elements closer to themselves and producing affinity.
These affinity-treated elements depend on their own bodies and can be used at any time, which is called magic power.
To measure a mage's combat power, you can look at magic power, but to measure a mage's level, you have to rely on spiritual power.
Whether one can resonate with elements is called talent. Some people easily resonate with fire elements, so they possess fire-type talent. Resonating more easily with water elements naturally possesses water-type talent.
However, no matter what kind of talent one possesses, spiritual power can smooth out these gaps, so powerful undead mages are often proficient in all elemental magic.
If the magic system is applied, then the Divine Star is a huge magic power source, the Little Fireman is the God of Elements, Ge Fortress and Mai Fortress are elemental creatures, the Star-born are children of elements, and the World-Supporting Divine Tree is an elemental plant born attached to the element source, just like dragon fruit growing by a volcano.
"Then you are turning these Star Flames around the Old Star now, is it deprivation?" Negris asked.
Low-level mages often can only wait for death when facing high-level mages, because high-level mages can deprive low-level mages of their control over elements.
Ang thought for a moment and nodded. Although there are some differences, it is not impossible to make such a comparison. He also didn't expect that he just said "affinity," and Negris applied Star Flame to the magic system. This is fundamentally not the same thing, because Star Flame also has a most important characteristic—increment.
Eight equivalents of Star Flame turned a circle on the Star of the Azure God. Ang took five equivalents, and the remaining three equivalents were left for the Star of the Azure God.
The Star of the Azure God looked at the three equivalents of Star Flame somewhat unexpectedly. These were all Star Flames with increments. Finally, it said regretfully: "I can't use them for the time being."
Ang collected them, and took the remaining two equivalents of Star Flame that hadn't been converted. He gave one equivalent to the Little Fireman and the other to the small tree-man.
The small tree-man held the Star Flame, somewhat blankly: "Ya..."
"Send it in," Ang pointed to the direction of the World-Supporting Divine Tree, meaning to let it send it in to the restricted Little Fireman.
