Chapter 72: At the Touch of Fire
In the hall that was reflecting rays of bright light, the arcane runes that activated ” Long-range Mirror Image ” were extinguished one by one.
Matthew blinked to adjust to the change in the light.
"It’s over. You did well.”
Zeller walked over from the side.
As he removed the rest of the Mirror Image spell, he signalled Matthew to relax.
Matthew quickly took off his stiff cloak and could not help but ask,
“Is this really going to work?”
The reason why he asked this was because he felt that he had not contributed much in the process just now.
He was only disguised as Master Ronan and walked around the area that Zeller had planned out, trying to make himself look more like a Legendary mage. Zeller explained the principle to him in advance-
He would use the Mirror Image Technique to present Ronan’s image in Rolling Stone Town and the North-South Trade Post.
At the same time, he ordered the others hiding at the scene to detonate the magic fireworks left behind by Ronan.
Thanks to the strong festive atmosphere, most people would not notice Matthew pretending to be Ronan before the fireworks exploded. However, after the fireworks exploded, under everyone’s conscious search, there was naturally no lack of ” observant people ” who would see ” Archmage Ronan.”
Then, everything else would follow.
However, after the entire process ended.
Matthew still had a strong sense of unreality.
"It’s hard to say, but everything depends on one’s actions. At least we’ve muddied the waters, haven’t we?
"I still have some things to deal with. Give me a moment, please.” Zeller smiled apologetically at Matthew.
Then, he hurriedly walked to another side hall.
Matthew had to remove his makeup himself.
It was also at this moment that he suddenly received a notification from the system.
” The two elements of deception?”
Matthew touched his chin.
“Doesn’t this mean that we’ve succeeded?”
Elements were the prerequisites for a Domain.
Under normal circumstances.
If mortals wanted to dabble in a domain, they had to collect the ” elements ” of the relevant domain in advance. The more relevant elements they collected, the higher the possibility of them entering the domain.
Elements were the key to accessing domains.
But this didn’t mean that it was the entirety of the domain.
For example, Matthew had completely ignored the key and directly barged into the domain three times already.
It could be seen how convenient the system was.
Especially after unlocking the Legendary Path.
Matthew could clearly feel that his entry into the domains was thousands of times simpler than others!
Even this time.
If it were anyone else, it would at most be a meaningful ” Deception
Experience.”
Although Matthew did not directly step into the domain of deception, he had indirectly grasped two keys to the domain of deception. If he worked hard in this direction, he would have soon entered the domain of Deception.
According to Mage Ronan.
Domains were more advanced tools than spells.
Matthew gradually realized that his ” natural talent ” in the field might be his greatest strength.
‘ Next, I can focus on the three domains I have now. I can cultivate in the three domains and obtain more abilities in the respective domains. I can also expand horizontally and get involved in other related domains.”
As he pondered.
Matthew had removed most of his makeup.
Zeller rushed in.
"There’s good news. It proves that our work is not for nothing.”
Matthew looked at him curiously.
Zeller smiled.
"When we were setting off the fireworks, Blake captured a member of the Silver Frost Brotherhood.”
Matthew nodded.
"Our garrison captain is quite capable. How did he discover that the other party is a member of the Silver Frost Brotherhood?”
Zeller couldn’t help but laugh.
It’s said that the criminal volunteered to participate in the ‘Martin Run’ event and won first place. He ran so fast that people recognized him as a supernatural being at a glance.”
Was there such a thing?
Matthew was stunned for three seconds.
"Then he must have accomplices,” Matthew said.
Zeller nodded and replied,
” This is obvious. The members of the Silverfrost Brotherhood usually work in groups of two. Although we haven’t found his companions, we can be sure that he and his companions have seen Archmage Ronan with their own eyes. Especially when he was arrested, he reacted violently. He seemed to be eager to pass on this important news. To be honest, I’m currently wondering if I should find a chance to release him.”
Matthew thought for a moment.
"There’s no need to be too deliberate.”
Zeller agreed.
"You’re right. There are so many people present at the Late Spring Festival. The news will definitely spread. In short, we’re doing well so far. Thank you for your hard work, Matthew.”
Matthew shook his head.
“I didn’t help much.”
Zeller said seriously, “At least you’re a real mage. This is very significant in the aspect of anti-divination.
"Alright, your mission is over. Next, we will deal with the three evil organizations. If there is nothing else, we will not disturb you anymore.
"Of course, if you’re willing, I would like to invite you to join the lord’s mansion formally. Your status is temporarily the lord’s magic consultant, which is similar to my role.”
Matthew’s heart jumped.
"Will Rheagar agree?”
