Chapter 478: How to scam this blind guy

The whole army moves out, packed into one car.

The newly snatched luxurious flying car was the best means of transport. To prevent others from recognizing it, Du Luo Ken "renovated" it, applied new paint, widened the body, and then hit the road.

The flying car drove steadily out of the Life God Pool. Nai Ge Li Si lay on the deck, asking Ge Lei, "What's going on with the Mage Assembly? And what is this thing you mentioned that can break the Silence Array?"

Ge Lei shook her head. "I don't know either. You know I couldn't hear at the time. I could only see him talking on the communicator. I guessed some keywords through lip-reading, and among them were breaking the Silence Barrier and the Mage Assembly."

Of course it was like that, so you couldn't blame her for being vague.

"Then do you know who he was communicating with? What kind of communicator did he use?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

"I don't know. The communicator was in the cabin, the one on the platform is it." Ge Lei said.

Speaking of "the one on the platform," Nai Ge Li Si knew which one it was. He had seen it before; it looked like a communicator.

"Then what's going on with the Mage Assembly? How come I've never heard of this assembly?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Ge Lei glanced at him strangely. "Sometimes I really wonder if you guys are from this world. You haven't even heard of the Mage Assembly? Even for the sake of keeping a low profile, those undead and warlock forces are powerful, but they shouldn't have never heard of the Mage Assembly, right?"

Nai Ge Li Si spread his hands. "We are indeed not from this world. It's a long story; just treat us as coming from the Abyss."

Ge Lei's "Divine Spirit" had eaten the blank godhead and become Ang's subordinate god. There was no need to hide such things from her, but it was too troublesome to explain, so they would explain slowly later.

Ge Lei nodded in realization, and that explained it. She continued, "The Mage Assembly is an annual gathering where all mages get together to exchange insights and share what they have. The time of the event is not fixed. Generally, outsiders don't know about it; it only circulates among mages. It usually adopts an invitation system. Mages who receive an invitation letter can bring their followers to participate."

"Why use an invitation system?" Nai Ge Li Si asked in confusion.

The Grain Competition held by the Star Republic of the main plane was actually a disguised Mage Assembly. Everyone could go to participate, whether they were commoners or merchants. It didn't restrict the identity of the participants and was turned into a lively festival, with everyone celebrating and partying like it was a holiday.

Of course, some people would receive invitation letters, but that kind of invitation letter wasn't an admission ticket, but a reimbursement voucher. The teams of personnel who received the invitation letter would have all their expenses covered by Star Academy.

For example, the Southern Hedgehog team took the invitation letter and came to Star Academy for free all the way. On the return trip, they got travel expenses, but to save money, they walked back and almost got sun-baked to death in the desert.

For an assembly like this, surely the bigger the influence, the better, yet they adopted an invitation system. Could it be that the organizers were very poor and reluctant to spend money?

"Because they don't want those warlocks to come and join in the fun, it's troublesome," Ge Lei said with disdain.

Du Luo Ken was unhappy. "Little one, do you have any prejudice against warlocks?"

Ge Lei looked at him and said, "No prejudice, I'm still good friends with some warlocks. But when it comes to academic problems, these warlocks are very annoying. Their reliance and obsession with external forces have reached a point of madness. They spend all day shouting about some 'Hundred Billion Turret Starburst Giant Array' and look down on us mages very much. If they didn't adopt an invitation system, warlocks would definitely come to cause trouble."

Hundred Billion Turrets? Starburst Giant Array? Du Luo Ken looked at the Starburst Array in the sky and suddenly understood a little.

Warlocks built powerful Starburst Arrays. A single faith storm could clear the gods on the ground. Even the Undead Empire didn't dare to build their palace under the array, but built it on the other side of the plane. Warlocks were undoubtedly the powerful elite in this world; they represented the highest level of power.

Under these circumstances, looking down on mages was very normal, just like a new farmer using fertilizer looking down on those old farmers who relied on heaven for their harvest.

If fertilizer was used properly, the yield per mu was a thousand jin; without fertilizer, the yield per mu was two or three hundred. How could they not look down on them?

Du Luo Ken wasn't from here, so he didn't have the habit of looking down on mages, but he could understand the reason why the warlocks here would develop this mentality. A mage who had practiced for decades might not be able to beat a well-equipped warlock. How could others look up to you?

One reason was not wanting to be disturbed, and the second was to keep a low profile. If they made it too grand, what if they provoked the undead mages of the Undead Empire?

If warlocks were just prejudices caused by different industries, the undead mages of the Undead Empire truly and genuinely despised you.

The profession of mage was absolutely one where the older you were, the more knowledgeable you were. The more magical knowledge you had learned, the deeper your understanding of magic was.

Although age and strength couldn't be equated, with the increase in age, a mage's reaction would slow down and their memory would decline. However, undead liches didn't have this problem; the longer they lived, the tougher their souls were.

Therefore, a several-hundred-year-old undead lich crushed any human mage in terms of knowledge. If they came to crash the party, no matter how many human mages there were, they could only listen obediently.

Nai Ge Li Si nodded. He had seen the scene where Au Benli lectured Lan Xing. The Truth Typhoon Tian Lan Xing Di Lu Ni was lectured like a student who had done something wrong, shrinking his head and wringing his fingers there.

"Then what about you? What level of mage are you? I see your magical reaction is almost at the strength of a Truth Mage," Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Ge Lei shook her head. "No, I'm just an Arcane Mage. But when I'm particularly violent, the 'her' inside me will come out. She can negate all truth, and all truth magic will fail. I am the public enemy of all Truth Mages. Of the four Truth Mages in the Magic Star City, three wish I would disappear forever."

"Tsk tsk tsk, negate all truth? Can it also negate the Forbidden Magic Domain?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Ge Lei was stunned for a moment. "Is there such a truth? No, right? Among the four Truth Mages I know, no one can use the Forbidden Magic Domain. Is there really such a perverted truth? Wouldn't that be the public enemy of all mages? Even more hated than me."

"Uh, yes. I'll introduce you when I have time," Nai Ge Li Si said.

The flying car drove slowly and arrived at the cave-dweller settlement outside the river bend, preparing to drive out along the river. However, upon arriving, they discovered that the cave-dwellers were holding some kind of large-scale sacrificial ceremony. A bunch of people were surrounding a fire basin at the river bend, dancing and jumping there.

Looking at that familiar fire basin, Nai Ge Li Si frowned and said, "Did we forget something?"

Boom! The flames in that fire basin suddenly flared up, shooting into the sky.

"Woo-hoo~ woo-hoo~" The cave-dwellers thought their sacrifice had caused an abnormality in the fire basin, and they became even more excited, dancing and singing.

The flames disappeared, and the fire basin extinguished along with it. The thing in the fire basin had already quietly slipped into the flying car, lying there and complaining, "Lord Nai Ge, you are really stingy, making me run so far. But this forest is really strange. I clearly sensed the master's location, but I couldn't walk there no matter what. Fortunately, you guys came out, otherwise, I would have had to become the totem of these cave-dwellers."

"You know I'm stingy and you still complain? Be careful, or I'll peel you off again. Do you know why you couldn't get in? Because you are a demon, and you will pollute those flowers and plants. Hurry up and ask the Life God for advice on how to restrain your demon aura, otherwise, you will never be able to get in," Nai Ge Li Si said.

Hearing someone mention himself, the Life God emerged from Ang's left shoulder, and the Little Sapling emerged from the right shoulder.

Ge Lei was stunned on the spot when she saw this scene for the first time. The Life God?

"Inhale, inhale hard, Xi Ma Duo Mu @￥#..." The Terror Lord was forcefully shoved into a suit of armor. Following a spell, the demon aura it emitted became less and less, and finally disappeared completely.

Nai Ge Li Si leaned in to sniff, nodded, and said, "The smell of the demon can't be smelled anymore. Old Tree is really knowledgeable, knowing all kinds of magic."

The Life God replied slowly, "I've just lived a bit longer."

The armor became active, and the Terror Lord's voice came from inside. "How magical, I feel like I've merged with this armor, it's not uncomfortable at all."

Nai Ge Li Si said, "Stand still, stand still and let me see."

The Terror Lord stood straight.

Nai Ge Li Si lifted the faceplate of the armor. It was empty inside. He leaned in to peer inside, seeing only an empty suit of armor. Even if he reached his hand in, he couldn't touch anything.

"Hee hee, don't touch randomly, it tickles." The Terror Lord's voice came from the armor.

Nai Ge Li Si quickly pulled out, flicking his claws in disdain. "If you stand there like that, others will think it's an empty suit of armor, and then they'll put you on."

Lifting the faceplate, the Terror Lord said, "Then, what is he willing to sell?"

Nai Ge Li Si also did a little camouflage, tying a sign to its neck that read: Pet Nai Ge, home address X-X-X City X-X Road, if found please contact the owner, heavy reward.

"Is this appropriate? Pretending to be a pet? It feels so shameful." Nai Ge Li Si pinched his sign uncomfortably.

"Appropriate, appropriate. The pets kept by mages are strange and varied. If you wear a hat, it will look even more like one," Ge Lei said.

Nai Ge Li Si took out his magician's hat and put it on.

On the contrary, Du Luo Ken took off his hat. The Mage Assembly was very exclusive to warlocks. If he were still dressed as a magician, he might not even be able to enter the city.

After a night of driving, the flying car soon arrived at the Magic Star City, a thousand kilometers away.

Magic Star City was a city built on a mountain. A straight, vertical stone mountain appeared abruptly on the plain. The top of the mountain was flat, like a tabletop, and Magic Star City was built on that "tabletop."

There were several ways to get up to Magic Star City. One was through the twenty-eight lifting platforms around the mountain.

These lifting platforms varied in size; the small ones could hold a few carriages, and the large ones could hold hundreds of tons of grain. Their reciprocating lifting supplied the daily needs of the entire city.

The second way was to fly. Mages showed their own magical powers. Whether flying horizontally or vertically, standing or sitting, riding a donkey or a broom, if you could fly up, you were considered capable.

The third way was the teleportation array, which we won't mention.

Ang put the flying car into his divine domain, and the group walked toward the stone mountain in the distance.

Ge Lei wrapped herself tightly in a cloak, revealing only her eyes, while introducing, "The stone mountain where Magic Star City is located is two hundred meters high. There are fifteen deep wells in the city that are several hundred meters deep, and water pumps continuously pump water to supply the needs of the whole city."

"The permanent population in the city is about ten thousand, belonging to five forces. They formed a Mage Council to manage the entire city, and the Mage Assembly is also held by them together."

Nai Ge Li Si thought of a question. "No, you said before there were four Truth Mages, and three of them want you to disappear forever. Then why are there five forces?"

Ge Lei's eyes were a bit strange. "I am the fifth one."

"Uh, that's true, Truth Negator. But don't you only have the strength of an Arcane Mage?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

"I will erupt with Truth-level strength when I'm angry. They don't know that, and besides, I counter them," Ge Lei said.

Nai Ge Li Si asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel like you're a bit excited? Are you trying to cause trouble? I'm warning you, our mission here is to find that thing that can break the Silence Barrier. If you want to cause trouble, wait until we're gone."

"Okay," Ge Lei replied readily.

It seemed Ge Lei really wanted to cause trouble, but this was also reasonable. She had been treated so miserably. If Ang hadn't saved her, she would now be a disabled person with broken hands and feet, deaf and mute. She hated those who plotted against her to death.

As for who plotted against her? Of course, it was three of the four Truth Mages.

He was a bit curious about how she planned to cause trouble and was just about to ask in detail when a voice suddenly interrupted him: "Hey, are you selling your baby dragon?"

Baby dragon? Where was there a baby dragon? Everyone turned to look and saw a noble man poking his head out of a luxurious carriage, looking at their group.

Nai Ge Li Si looked left and right, and finally discovered that everyone's gaze was focused on him. He then reacted: the baby dragon referred to him? This man wanted to buy him?

Seeing that they didn't react, the noble man asked impatiently again, "Hey, I'm asking you, are you selling this pet baby dragon? How much money? You even put a hat on it, isn't that because you want to sell it? Hurry up and give me a price."

Everyone looked at each other. Did wearing a hat have this meaning?

Silver Coin immediately rubbed his hands and stepped forward to greet him. "Oh my, this guest, how should I address you? You really have an eye for things. This is a baby dragon of the rare Golden Dragon, extremely rare. Although it is a sub-dragon, it looks exactly like a giant dragon. After raising it and taking it out, the eyes of the entire city will be attracted to you. Such a unique and precious thing, how can it be measured by money?"

Hearing that it was a sub-dragon, a trace of disappointment flashed in the noble man's eyes, but hearing that it looked exactly like a giant dragon, his interest immediately rose again. A sub-dragon was good; if it were a real giant dragon, it would be bad instead, as that wasn't something he could possess.

He heard that giant dragons were already extinct. If Silver Coin insisted on saying it was a giant dragon, he would be suspicious instead. But honestly stating it was a sub-dragon made Silver Coin seem credible.

"Makes sense, a unique and precious thing, how could it be measured by money? What do you want? Let's exchange," the noble man said generously, but he never announced his name. His posture clearly indicated that he thought Ang's group wasn't qualified to know his name.

Nai Ge Li Si was so angry his teeth itched, but he had to keep smiling. Silver Coin was already rubbing his hands and going up, and he didn't know how to scam this blind guy. He just had to smile and cooperate. ===== CHAPTER 479 =====
