When the war between the phaerinn and the arcanist completely broke out.

Iolum followed the passage they took to the ground and quietly sneaked into the base camp of the phaerimm without the Arcanist or the phaerinn knowing about it.

He didn't just come here.

Iolum has been living here for more than four years disguised as a phaerinn.

Almost as soon as Garen found Karsus, he sneaked into the realm of the phaerim and never left again.

Here, whatever the Phaelings eat, Iolum eats. Whatever the Phaelings use to communicate, Iolum also uses the same method... Gradually, this The King of Arcanists has integrated into the phaerimm's tribe and has a deep understanding of the culture, habits, character, abilities, etc. of the phaerimm's tribe.

Not a single phaerinn noticed anything strange.

There are many legendary-level individuals in this group, but there are no demigod-level beings like Iolum.

Therefore, facing a King of Arcanists who can kill everyone but wants to sneak in secretly, they have no good solution.

"Elder Allen, Philip sends his regards."

A passing Felin magic sunflower stopped, controlled the wind to form a specific frequency, and said to Iolum.

This is a language spoken by the phaerim clan.

They communicate with the wind.

As for telepathy, it is an ability used when communicating with other races. Telepathy is rarely used among the Felin Demon Kui family.

Iolum nodded slightly, and also used the frequency of the wind to form a language, asking about the battle situation between the opponent on the surface and the Floating City Empire.

"Those evil arcanists are no match for our magic-draining powers."

"If nothing happens, their city will fall from the sky sooner or later."

"It's just that it is said that they have a very powerful arcanist leader who has lived for thousands of years and is called the King of Arcanists."

"The King of Arcanists has never shown up. He is a threat. Other than that, there is nothing to worry about."

Faced with Iolum's inquiry, Felin Mokui answered respectfully.

There are also different social classes within the phaerimm.

And the strong are strong everywhere.

Iolum's charisma cannot be underestimated.

Iolum, who used the alias Allen and joined the Phaylings' tribe for several years. After being promoted step by step, he has become an elder of the Temple of the Phaylings and has thousands of Phaylings following him.

The Demon Kui Temple is the high-level organization of the Felin Demon Kui.

All are composed of legendary and above phaerim demon sunflowers.

As one of the elders of Mo Kui, Iolum can now be said to have successfully penetrated into the enemy's top leadership.

If his purpose was not to seize power, in a few years, this generation of Demon King might have been replaced by him.

For now, with the prestige of 'Elder Allen' within the ethnic group, if he raises his hand and calls out, there will still be many Felin Demon Kui who will respond to his call.

"King of Arcanists?"

"Don't worry about him. If he dares to show up, I will personally take action and let him know the power of our magic sunflower."

Mo Kui, who looked like a big meat insect, shook his head and said calmly.

After hearing Iolum's words, the little Demon Kui next to him showed a look of admiration, completely unaware that their biggest enemy was right in front of it.

Immediately.

Iolum moves through the field of magic sunflowers.

Not long after, he came to a black pool with bubbles like asphalt.

In this pool, if you can look through the surface, you can see fleshy insects the size of a thumb under the dark and sticky water.

Countless small meat worms squirmed in it, but most of them were half dead and seemed to have little energy.

"The larvae of the phaerinn..."

Iolum looked steadily at the black pool.

This is the place where the phaerinns are used to raise their larvae. When the larvae grow to be relatively stable and healthy, they will crawl out and become real phaerinns.

However.

In recent years, a large number of pharyngeal larvae have died prematurely, and the number of newborns has more than doubled than before.

Now Iolum also knows why the Felin Demon Sunflower, which has been living quietly underground for countless years, became furious and attacked the Nether Empire with an unyielding attitude.

The premature death of the larvae is the reason.

Within the Felin Demon Sunflower, there is a consensus that everyone from the Demon Sunflower King and the elders to the ordinary Demon Sunflowers have.

They believe that the large number of deaths of their own group's young is related to the abuse of magic by Netherese arcanists.

Unless the arcanist gives up using magic, their young will continue to die.

But asking arcanists to give up magic?

How is this possible.

So the war broke out.

One side is fighting for the survival of their own ethnic group, and the other is fighting to protect the glory of arcana... This is destined to be an endless war.

"The abuse of magic led to the death of the cubs of the magic sunflower."

Iolum took a deep breath.

"It's just fart!"

The king of arcanists cursed secretly in his heart, and it was rare for him to use foul language.

The arcanist lives in the city in the sky and has come to the ground less and less, while the phaerim lives deep underground and is also far away from the ground.

The distance between these two civilized groups is so great.

Then, will the arcanist's magic affect the phaerim? A race that feeds on magic?

Iolum knew that the larvae of the phaerim were very poor at eroding magic power, but from his perspective, as a demigod arcanist, their premature death had nothing to do with the arcanists.

But the phaerinns firmly believe in this.

"Aisberg...the most prestigious elder in the Demon Sun Temple."

"This guy was the first to suggest that the abuse of magic led to the death of the cubs."

"After the investigation, each of the Mo Kui elders seconded their opinions and approved this statement."

Iolum narrowed his eyes.

Iolum, who has been sneaking into this place to investigate for several years and has infiltrated the Demon Kui Temple, has learned a lot of inside information about the Felin Demon Kui. Naturally, he also knows the culprit that caused the war between the two forces.

One of his goals is to figure out why Asberg points his sword at Netheril.

Is it its own idea, or is it being bewitched by some existence?

Time passes quietly.

Iolum left the black pool, and after staying in his damp and dark lair for a while, he started taking action again and quietly came to the vicinity of another lair.

This is Asperger's lair.

Phaelings are very territorial and will not let other phaerimms enter their lair unless they are partners.

While Eisberg went to attend the meeting of the Demon Kui Temple, Iolum quietly entered the lair of the Demon Kui Elder.

The Phaeling is a rather powerful magical creature. It has a large number of spell-like abilities and can also learn spells. There are various magic alarms and traps in Asberg's lair, even for legendary creatures.

Once here, it’s difficult to enter without attracting the other person’s attention.

But Iolum is no legend.

He is a demigod and a demigod arcanist.

The layers of protection seemed to be in vain in front of Iolum.

The Phaeling may seem terrifying and twisted, but it is actually an intelligent creature with extraordinary intelligence that allows it to become a spellcaster.

In the dark lair, you can see rows of bookshelves with countless books of all kinds placed on them. The air is filled with the smell of knowledge, making it look like a weird library instead of underground.

The lair of monsters.

Da Mo Kui's small sesame-like eyes bloomed with light and swept across the bookshelves.

Tiny ripples in the long river of time.

In Iolum's eyes, time began to flow backwards.

This is a time magic he learned under Garen's guidance during his communication with Garen.

Back in time.

Light and shadow are reflected in Iolum's pupils.

More than ten years of time flew by and condensed into a few minutes of footage. In the retrospective time scene, he saw Asberg often taking out a book from the third row of bookshelves to read, and while observing

At that time, his face and posture were quite pious.

Like a believer.

Immediately.

Iolum stopped looking back in time.

He walked forward and found one that Asberg often read among the densely packed books.

This book is placed in the classified bookshelf that introduces the legends and deeds of the gods, and it does not deserve special attention here.

The gray-black book feels cool and delicate to the touch, and there is no trace of damage on the surface.

The pattern on the book cover is quite strange.

It is a skull placed on a rolled-up parchment scroll and pierced with a vertical quill.
