  Chapter 64 Next step plan

   This trip to the Fragmented World brought Duanmu Huai a lot of benefits, but it also made him discover his biggest flaw.

   Right now, Duanmuhuai's team has MT (self), DPS (Ojis), and Lorena (healer + DPS), so...what else is missing?

   Magician.

   If Duanmuhuai didn't particularly want a magician at the beginning, then his need for a magician is really urgent now.

   After all, although Duanmu Huai is a psychic, he is a type of summoner who specializes in summoning. It can be said that Duanmu Huai is completely ignorant of supernatural abilities such as magic except for soul cards. Therefore, he urgently needs a magic assistant who can dabble and understand psionic magic.

   In this regard, Augis and Lorena are the same, both specialize in physical attacks and are completely unfamiliar with magic. Originally, Duanmu Huai hoped to find a magician in the Holy City, but unfortunately, according to Lorena, there were basically no magicians in the Holy City...

  Although it is said that in the main material world, there are professions such as mages, but Duanmuhuai dare not use them—he doesn't want his companions to suddenly become heretics corrupted by demons.

  So it is safest to find mages in soul shards. On the one hand, mages in soul shards also have powerful magic, and under the protection of soul shards, they will not be corrupted by demons.

  Then the next question is... where to find it.

At this time, Lorena provided a clue to Duanmuhuai. She once heard that there was a magic country named Manaria in the north. She heard that the magic civilization in that country was highly developed, and there was a special magic learning department in it. Manalia Academy of Magic. If there is any place to find a reliable magician, then this is the best choice.

  Desperately, there is no record about Manaria in the holy city, so Duanmuhuai has only one choice...that is to return to the empire again...to find clues.

  By the way, after Duanmu Huai secretly took the Crown of Witchcraft from the treasure house, it was broken down to increase the analysis speed of [Judgement Library] by +10%.

  By the way, the treasure room in the ruins in front of me, which was regarded as a treasure by the warriors of Chaos, was a big bathhouse in the era of the Holy City—fortunately, it was not a women's bathroom.

  So basically Duanmuhuai walked into the bathhouse, then returned to the main world, and then saw a pile of treasures placed under the goddess statue that originally held the hot spring in the center of the bathhouse, as well as the crown of witchcraft mixed in it. So Duanmuhuai directly took the crown of witchcraft, opened the door and went back to the holy city to take a bath before leaving.

   However, the current empire is also not a good place.

According to the refugees found by Duanmuhuai, perhaps because they could no longer bear the believers of the Ratman and the God of Plague running around in their own land, the three emperors, who had a human brain like a dog's brain, finally decided to temporarily put aside old and new grievances and join forces. Rise up to deal with the Ratman army and the followers of evil gods.

  Under their maintenance, the mainland of the empire is finally somewhat stable.

  By the way, there is another incident related to the City of Silver. At the beginning, Duanmuhuai took Alisa and her mother to run away, and the territory fell into the hands of the evil **** believers. The remaining two princes seem to use this as an excuse to accuse the eldest prince of not being qualified to be an emperor. After all, even the territory has been lost. Shouldn't you take the blame and resign?

If it was a Japanese, it would probably be a 190-degree bow and then "I'm sorry I licked the mushrooms for you" and it would be over. However, this eldest prince seems to be really stubborn. Right now, he is also personally leading the army, intending to retake the Silver Land. City... This has nothing to do with Duanmuhuai.

  According to Lorena's suggestion, he did find two places that might be related to Manalia.

  Altdorf, the capital of the empire, and... the cursed city of Mordheim.

  About Mordheim, Duanmuhuai also heard an interesting story from those fleeing refugees.

  During the War of the Three Emperors, Mordheim was protected from war because of its neutrality, and it became a city favored by many nobles and wealthy businessmen. They gather here to spend their wealth to have fun, to indulge in sex, and to stay away from war.

At this moment, a twin-tailed comet emerged from the sky (Duanmuhuai didn't see this thing, he probably fell asleep at the time), but whoever thought this comet was a tribute The glory of the God Emperor represents that Mordheim is the chosen city. As a result, the nobles in the city were even more drunk, immersed in enjoyment and depravity every day.

   Of course, not without priests warning that all this will only lead to disaster. They regard the comet as the war hammer of Sigmar, the patron saint of the empire, and will completely destroy this fallen city of pleasure!

Well, I don’t know if the pastors of Sigma were joking around at that time. After all, it is the basic operation of the church to use various natural disasters to spread the wrath of God. However, it is a coincidence that the comet really fell on Mordehai Hum, justice fell straight from the heavens at the celebration where the people held a carnival.

  Destroyed by the comet, Mordheim naturally turned into a city of ruins, a place where ratmen, thieves, believers of evil gods and other messy things raged.

  But not long ago, the eldest prince Ludwig suddenly stated that he wanted to recover this fallen and cursed city. But now most of his troops are advancing to the City of Silver, so what about Mordheim?

  The eldest prince has a way. He plans to recruit some mercenaries to cooperate with the imperial army to carry out a comprehensive sweep of Mordheim, clearing away the followers of evil gods, ratmen and other weird things entrenched there.

   This call attracted the attention of many mercenaries. After all, although Mordheim now looks worse than Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were planted with mushrooms, it was once one of the richest cities in the empire. The wealth buried under the ruins and the legends of powerful and mysterious artifacts and holy objects have a fatal attraction for those mercenaries.

   But, it's also dangerous there.

  The fragments of that comet possessed some kind of terrifying and powerful strange power, which could twist the mind and body of human beings, transforming them into monstrosities beyond imagination. Not only that, the eldest prince is not the only one who wants to compete for Mordheim - various forces have also gathered here, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to either fish in troubled waters, sow discord, or weaken the enemy.

   Therefore, the First Prince's first action quickly ended in failure.

   And now, he is raising the pay again, calling up brave warriors to Mordheim. It's just that maybe because the first batch of fanatics set an example with their own lives, now almost no one dares to go to Mordheim to die in idleness.

   After collecting this information, Duanmu Huai immediately had a plan.

   That is, as a mercenary, join the army of the First Prince to recover Mordheim. And he did this for two reasons.

   First of all, Mordheim has been turned into ruins, and it is almost impossible to find information about Manaria here if you want to find what you want here. Duanmuhuai had driven the gunboat around Mordheim several times before, but still did not find the fragment entrance of Manaria. In this case, he can only choose to advance from the ground and look for clues.

  Since the eldest prince wants to recover Mordheim, he must have detailed information about the city, which is what Duanmuhuai needs.

Secondly, if Mordheim cannot find the information he wants, then Duanmuhuai can also rely on this qualification to enter the royal city of Altdorf - because of the War of the Three Emperors, almost all large cities are now under martial law, Duanmuhuai It is impossible for a person with such distinctive features to learn from spies and thieves. Therefore, only through formal channels can he gain the trust of the empire and obtain permission to enter Altdorf.

Of course, there is another reason that Duanmuhuai is still thinking about the sacred object in the hands of the eldest prince. After all, the gift of the water **** has been proved to be a sacred object, so the Vulcan hammer in the hands of the eldest prince is probably the same. Prince, it would be great to take this opportunity to get the Warhammer.

   So soon, after making a decision, Duanmuhuai left immediately.

   Go to the next target location - Mordheim.
