Fire Mage

Chapter 434: Divine Items

\'Hmm? Isn\'t he the Demon Sorcerer who works for second prince Julius?\' Charles stared at the hooded Demon Sorcerer and showed a confused look on his face.

From Julius\'s memories, he knew that this person was nothing but a Rank-4 sorcerer with minimal battle experience. His name was Nash, who came to the Aetas Kingdom from the north 30 years ago and became a permanent resident. Alas, he currently had some bad reputation in the Royal City.

Five years ago, he was involved in illegal business and got exposed to the masses by the Royal Knights. After that, the Light Church arrested him in the name of investigation and held him for three months in prison. When he returned from the prison, the royal family confiscated all his saved money and properties. With no other choice, he chose to work for the Royal Family. No, he decided to work for Julius\'s mother.

But what caught Charles\'s attention was not his background, but when did this Demon Sorcerer come to this castle.

\'He came here two days ago under the order of Julius\'s mother! But due to his weak look, no one, including Duke Michael, took him seriously and thought of him as a normal Demon Sorcerer.\'

Well, that\'s what Julius also thought about him all these times.

\'Julius knew nothing about him at all… This guy isn\'t some normal folk. Did that Seer even warn Julius\'s mother?\' While thinking, he activated his [Accelerate Thoughts] skill and analyzed the surroundings in slow motion.

Although he had many advantages in battle, he didn\'t dare to take his enemies lightly.

\'It\'s better to act cautiously.\' He nodded inwardly and jumped backward.

In the meantime, that hooded sorcerer named Nash backed away hurriedly, removed his black hood, and looked at him in surprise. He looked around 40 years old, had violet eyes, barely visible eyebrows, crooked nose, Russet brown skin, chestnut hair, and an oblong face.

Charles also activated his [Arcane Eyes] skill and tried to scan him. But to his shock, nothing appeared in his vision!

Unlike the time when he scanned Melody, he also didn\'t see any abnormality around this person.

\'He can block my [Arcane Eyes] skill?\' He was stunned a little. Alas, he used his wisdom power, probed his physical strength, and soon frowned.

\'His body is weak, and he looks more like a mortal.\' But just as he thought of attacking that sorcerer, some strange divine power came out of his pant pocket and covered his body. Not only that, but Charles also noticed another type of mystical power came from the same pocket and fused his body itself!

\'What the hell is this?! He now looks like a completely different person!\' He also noticed that his body strength had reached a terrifying level!

\'A Pseudo-Level Physique!\'

Upon seeing such a strange scene, he felt somewhat clueless about what to do next.

At that moment, another figure descended from the sky and landed next to the Demon Sorcerer.

It was none other than Duke Michael.

Duke was also surprised by this person\'s capabilities and sized him up and down. Although he knew this person belonged to Julius\'s side, he also didn\'t pay much attention to him all these times.

"Who are you?" Duke Michael asked while hiding his shock.

On the other hand, the mysterious hooded man shook his head and spoke.

"If you want to live, take out that shield and use it. This demon is more likely from another plane. Trying to hide your strength in this situation won\'t solve the problem. It seems Julius\'s mother\'s worry came true." His voice appeared colder.

A surprise flashed on Duke Michael\'s face. The same goes for Charles.

After some hesitation, Duke Michael touched his left-hand bracelet and directly took out a long sword and a heater shield from it. The shield appeared to be made of bronze metal and was inscribed with mysterious runes. Four animal symbols also appeared engraved on the heater shield, and they looked alive.

Indeed, those strange symbols moved here and there from time to time and sent out mysterious ripples to the surroundings.

One was a lizard-like creature, the second was a mammoth, the third was a rat, and the fourth was a snake-headed humanoid creature.

What\'s more shocking was that Charles sensed four souls residing in the heater shield and was emitting four unique chaos power!

\'Moreover, there is also a power of chaos fire residing in one of those four souls!\' Charles muttered inwardly.

On the other hand, the long sword appeared to be made of pure gold, and the hilt glowed in blue light. There were also some strange gems embedded all over the handle and looked unique.

Charles\'s eyebrows rose upward. Although he didn\'t sense any divine power or soul in it, he didn\'t dare to take it lightly and analyze it.

\'Blackest Heart, huh. What a unique sword name.\'

He felt threatened by those two items.

\'I didn\'t expect such an anomaly. Should I retreat?\'

He wore a grim look on his face, turned his gaze towards Nash, and gashed his elemental teeth.

\'This guy also has some mystical power or item! There is also a possibility that he is a powerful Rank-5 Sorcerer. Victor? No, I don\'t think so.\' If not for Julius\'s memories, he would\'ve thought of him as Victor.

But Charles now knew that this guy was involved in this mess due to bad luck.

\'No, he might be pulled into this mess by the mysterious seer.\' He felt that was highly possible and fell into deep thoughts.

On the other hand, Nash took out a strange talisman coin necklace from his pocket and held it in his hand.

On the coin, there was also a similar type of symbol engraved in it.

But instead of animals, this talisman coin had six different kinds of symbols on one side. The first symbol was a heart, the second one was a ruby eye, the third one was a clover, the fourth one was a peace sign, the fifth symbol was a wheel, and the final one was an elephant. On the other side, a lucky star and a unique guiding stone were delicately engraved in it.

With a mere glance, Charles knew that this item was also a divine artifact!

At that moment, Duke Michael also stared at the unique necklace and soon blurted out.

"Is it our Goddess\'s \'Lucky Talisman\' artifact?!" He widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Lucky Talisman? Are you comparing that scrap necklace to mine? Humph, back away." The Demon Sorcerer named Nash shot a cold glance at Duke Michael, shifted his gaze towards Charles, and continued.

"It\'s better to not know about my artifact\'s name. After all, the more you learn about it, that flame demon might also learn some information about it. Isn\'t that right?" His tone contains a hint of mockery.

On the other hand, Charles\'s white eyes squinted sharper.
