Which does reion so far I have a [Finger of the Hierophant] that I can potentially grant to you It should considerably increase your strength"

If Aldrich reer boosted a unit's levels in the sareater the boost with a cap at level 40

Fler'Gan should at the very least go fro hith that kept him competitive with units like Merer boosted thetheic specialization was

For example, Fler'Gan who specialized as a Pyromancer would learn a host of new fire based spells He would probably even gain insight into additional alchemy skills and the like

Notably, however, it was useless for Aldrich because Necroer boosted Thus, in the gaic specialized unit

In this case, Aldrich figured his would be Fler'Gan

"Ah, the corpse parts of the great Hierophant, last heir to the Arcane E his parts, one obtains the infinite knowledge of the eic as we know it," said Fler'Gan "Knowledge is always the golden light I strive for If you need not the finger for your own purposes, I would be honored to partake of it"

"I'd be hard pressed to find anyone else to trust," said Aldrich

"I am truly honored, O Elder," said Fler'Gan with a deep bow He then reached into a cabinet and excitedly retrieved an eye-phone He tapped it, causing the screen to light up "And look at this, O Elder, I ay of the mortals in this realranted this toit as a personalized repository of infinite inforree

It is a manner of contraption I could not have ever fatho i notes, and the like

But most important of all, it holds access to an infinite store of information on a space known as the 'Net' that I have thrown myself into

Truly, to think that the hued to centralize all their accohts and innovations, into one shared space - it does explain the frightening ubiquity and advanceic - the study of the few - cannot coet sucked up in the Net It's easy to get lost in e," said Aldrich "And wait, you said you take notes on it? Doesn't that e?"

"It is one of my Arcane spells, yes," said Fler'Gan "One necessary as a scholar of the citadel where peoples of every corner of the realm joined"

"You said you could record your spells into toht? Try to make that one a priority," said Aldrich

The units froes here, but they could not read anything, as evidenced by Volantis's construct That was because according to lore, the Arcane Emperor unifiedeveryone to communicate with each other

However, each race had already developed their oriting systems before the Arcane Emperor's rise, and many of them kept thee And the emperor had not or could not devise a spell to universalize writing the sae

"I will try," said Fler'Gan "But I require materials from our realm There are trees in that swamp around my study, no? Those can be processed for parchment That will do for lower circle spells, but the [Eye of All Writ] that allows me to read and write in any systeh circle tier

I can modify a version that allows for telasses that could allow for it"

"Either or works," said Aldrich "The item solution actually sounds better"

"I will require glass capable of enchantment of some kind," said Fler'Gan

"I'll have that ready for you in a few days," said Aldrich The third Trial Quest held such glass in abundance But he would only access that until after he had built his bond up with the Chrysalis "If that's all, Fler'Gan, I'll take , O Elder" Fler'Gan showed Aldrich his phone screen with surprising aptitude Aldrich had thought Fler'Gan would have fumbled about with the phone like old people do, but he had adapted very quickly

Aldrich saw pictures of two statues held inside largea hu aout to air

The shark variant froainst the fishmen and Fletcher from Blackwater respectively

"What will you do with these?" said Fler'Gan

"I can't raise Shark anyes the corpse at the cellular level so the corpse isn't stable enough for undeath

But the crystal construct can be detonated as a powerful bomb, so I'll keep the Shark statue around for later" Aldrich narrowed his eyes at the picture of Fletcher "As for him, his consciousness is still inside there, trapped in whatfor a little while longer Until I really need hi Aldrich planned on using Fletcher when he took over Blackwater But at minimum, that would take a week A week trapped inside a prison of rocky nothingnesswhat a few days of solitary confinee man
