Section 30 Selection of the Mage's Tower

"The current Alan continent is in chaos, and we need a strong order to suppress this chaos, otherwise the chaos will continue forever. ”

Cornelia pressed her hands on the armrests of the couch to stand up, but she didn't get up, "Thinking about everything that has happened in the last three years, and considering the balance that Pedy Reagan has maintained between the nations now, I really can't find any reason to refuse his rule over the Sukh Plains. ”

"To suppress the expansion of the undead legion, the power of the Kingdom of Kruria is indispensable, and evil energy is obviously an energy with a completely different nature from magic, but it is also attached to the existence of magic nets. Zibbot's eyes widened as he looked at the councillors who opposed the entry of the Kingdom of Kruria into the Suke Plains, "Your opposition will indirectly contribute to the spread of evil power. ”

"Bang bang" Andor slapped the table with his palm, "Don't package Pedy Reagan as a savior, the Ellan Continent is still a world of the living, even without the power of the Kruria Kingdom, the undead army led by Cullen has only one way to perish!"

Cleveland immediately chimed in: "Yes, the Cullen Territory is now surrounded by dwarves, elves, and orcs, and I believe that neither dwarves nor elves nor orcs will be stupid enough to release the undead legion from Cullen Territory." ”

"I think you're really stupid!" Cornelia spoke as a woman without any scruples, "Although the dwarves, elves and orcs surround the undead legion led by Karen, they are only fighting on their own, so far only the elves have gathered heavy troops and stated that they will fight the undead legion to the end, the orcs originally did not intend to intervene in this war, but because of the Kingdom of Kruria, they agreed to participate in this war and send troops to aid the Twak Heights." ”

"As for the dwarves," Cornelia looked around at everyone present, "they have always considered themselves outsiders, closing the gates of the Lordaan Mountains to no one except the Kingdom of Kruria. ”

Duquesne took over just right, "It takes someone to lead them, and Pedy Reagan is undoubtedly the right fit." ”

"I think you can't wait to be loyal to Pedy Reagan!" Cleveland said with an impersonal indifference and uncomfortable irony.

"Did your brain get blown up because of that failed experiment a few days ago?" Cornelia stood up with a swoop, glared at Cleveland and said in a disdainful tone, "I can't believe that this is from the mouth of an elder, if it weren't for the absolute impossibility of evil power in this room, I would have doubted whether you were controlled by evil power!"

"Your Excellency Cleveland, it was a rule for our forefathers long ago that when members of the organization discussed issues among themselves, they were not allowed to insult anyone in any language. Zibbot frowned and said, "As the senior of all of us here, this is not the attitude you should have. ”

"Don't let narrow-mindedness get in the way, senior. Duquesne immediately said, "We should look forward, not keep reminiscing about the past." ”

"Your Excellency Cleveland..."

"I don't think I'm saying anything wrong. Cleveland also stood up, "Have you forgotten how Chairman Tang Deng died? An emperor can change many people!" He didn't look angry because of these people's words, he still maintained the indifferent expression just now, and paced to the nearest window, looking at the crowd of people coming down from the tall buildings, "The pattern of the Eastern Continent is very good now, and there is no need to make any changes." ”

"Our civilization needs to progress. Cornelia pressed a hand to a document, "We need someone to end the feud on the continent of Alan, and Pedi Reagan of the Kingdom of Crulia is the best candidate." Her voice grew louder and louder, "Isn't it your wish to end the strife on the continent and use magic energy to change this world?"

Cleveland slowly turned to lean against the window, looked up at the somewhat excited Cornelia, looked at her young face, shook his head slightly, and whispered, "If only this matter were as simple as you think." As he spoke, he glanced at Chairman Troke, who was reading the document with his head in tow, and then looked at Cornelia very seriously, "Have you seriously thought about what you're doing?"

"Old fellow, youβ€”" Andor listened to the old man's tone change, and couldn't help but stand up and walk to Cleveland's side.

"I'm fine now. Cleveland looked at the board members, who were less than half of the members of the meeting, and finally turned his gaze to Turlock, "Turlock, as the chairman, you can't be silent all the time, right?"

"I'll listen carefully to your thoughts. Turlock slowly closed the papers he was flipping through, and looked up at the councilors with a stern face.

"I believe that our ideas have been expressed very clearly. Duquesne's tone was very stiff.

"You are the successor chosen by Chairman Donden, although you have not done anything to be praised. Cleveland slowly walked back to his seat, looked at Turlock and said, "I believe in Chairman Downdon, so I believe in you... Whatever decision you make, I will support you. ”

Turlock took two sips of the steaming tea, then meticulously opened another document and said: "The Continent of Ailan is facing the erosion of evil energy, and I occasionally put my thoughts in the magic net, and I feel a chaotic negative emotion that I have never encountered before, and this emotion is affecting everyone around us. ”

"We are all ordered beings, and as much as I would love to remain neutral, I feel a strong hostility in the web, and this targeted hostility makes me understand that we cannot remain neutral in this war for survival. Tlock's powerful voice echoed through the room, "According to intelligence, Penny Reagan of Suker Plains has cooperated with the undead legion led by Cullen, and we cannot tolerate this kind of behavior, nor can we allow any living person to believe in evil gods. ”

Turlock looked at everyone at the conference table and said in a flat chatty tone, "So, I support Pedy Reagan's war against Suker Plains. ”

"You always have a way of saying what you want to do... Splendid. Kriland chuckled and then put on a serious expression and asked, "That's your decision?"

"Yes, I will support Pedy Reagan until the undead legion is completely wiped out. Turlock held his back and looked at Krilanf, "In the meantime, I can agree to any of his terms." ”

"We managed to break free from the Empire..."

"Bang" Trok smashed his fist on the conference table, interrupting this sentence and saying: "This decision of mine is not to be incorporated into the Kingdom of Kruria, the 'Eternal Wings' will maintain permanent independence, this is a fact that no one can change. ”

"I will remember the promise you just made. Krylanv stood up, "I swore I would never grovel to any emperor again. The old man said this with an unforgettable hatred, and he walked to the door without looking back.

"My trial is at a critical time, please allow me to leave. Andor immediately followed in Krilanf's footsteps.

"All right and wrong need time to tell. Cornelia's voice echoed through the room after the two had left.

"I hope we made the right choice. Duquesne shrugged and stood up and walked to the door.

"Right or wrong depends on how we look at it. Zibbot also stood up, "The choice of advance and retreat is always so interesting. He chuckled as Duquesne walked towards the door.

"There is news from Hrutzburg that Lady Saviara has set out from the castle, and that you will meet her in my place. Turlock quickly sorted out the papers on the table and said, "She'll be in the Mage Tower for a while, and you'll be in charge of everything for her during that time." ”

"I immediately went to prepare. ”

...

On the open trade road in the northwest plain of Drake City, a team of horses with the flags of various caravans was planted, and the cars drove one by one to Drake City and slowly moved towards Drake City.

Among these caravans, a group of freshly dressed and angry horsemen were very conspicuous, and the cavalry flag bearer hunted and flew in the sun with gold-rimmed rose battle flags, so that the caravan wagons on both sides of the road consciously stopped on the side of the road.

"I thought there was no such thing as a privilege in Drake City. Phyllis frowned as she looked at the merchants and mercenaries on both sides of the road who had taken off their hats and muttered to her mentor.

"Our privilege is not without a price. Cornelia smiled and said, "Think about your experiments in the lab every day, think about what you need to learn on the bookshelf, and... We must also participate unconditionally in every war that takes place in our territory. ”

"And theyβ€”" Cornelia pointed to the brocade-robed merchants on either side of the road, looked at the numb mercenaries and servants, shook her head slightly, and did not continue to speak.

"Mentor, don't mention experiments when I'm at my happiest!" Phyllis's head swelled with pain as soon as she heard the word 'experiment', and her hands couldn't help but scratch her hair as if they were in a laboratory.

"Relax, Phyllis!"

Cornelia's voice at this moment seemed to be able to hit people's souls, and Phyllis, who was about to fall into chaos, instantly sobered up.

"You'd better stop your experiment and rest for a while. ”

Cornelia's expression was very serious, she had been busy with the housework of the Mage Tower and had no time to take care of Phyllis, but she didn't expect Phyllis to have the manic symptoms that mages often have.

"I'm fine, mentor... I'm just concerned about my experiments. Phyllis didn't want to just stop the experiment.

"The research topic of a fire magic golem is not something that can be completed in a short period of time, and enough rest can help us expand our thinking, otherwise your mind will become very limited, and even in the end you can't even distinguish the most basic logical relationships. Cornelia was very resolute, "This is another subject I have for you, when do you forget your experiment, and when can you continue your experiment." ”

"Mentor, have you forgotten how to experiment?" Phyllis instinctively remembered in her mind that she was halfway through the experiment, and all kinds of complex formulas and magic circle construction invaded her mind in an instant, making her almost subconsciously want to rush back to the laboratory as quickly as possible.

"Do as I say, Phyllis... It won't take long for you to understand what I'm trying to say!" Cornelia reached out and pressed Phyllis's forehead lightly, "Also, this is also my graduation course for you, if you can't do it, you'll always be an apprentice in magic." ”

Phyllis felt a refreshing coolness suddenly spread from her head to her whole body, and her chaotic thoughts disappeared in an instant because of this refreshing feeling, and the exhaustion of her whole body was also dispelled by an invisible force at this moment. But this feeling was only for a moment, and after a moment, Phyllis only felt that everything in front of her seemed to be clearer than the previous moment.

"Mentor, do it again!"

Phyllis reached out to grab the mentor who was riding beside her, but as soon as she reached out, she was beaten back by the staff.

"Do you know why those lunatics in the Drake City Asylum are crazy?" asked Cornelia, turning her head.

"Why?"

"It's because of the momentary feeling of comfort that the magic just brought about. Cornelia seemed to be a mother who frightened the child, with a slightly hideous expression on her face, and said viciously: "Do you want to be like them?"

Phyllis began to think of the disgusting faces of the madhouses in her mind, and followed her mentor's guidance to imagine herself as a substitute for these people. Soon, her whole body couldn't help but tremble, and she whispered with heart palpitations: "I am destined to become a great magician, how can I become like them!"

"Very well!" Cornelia smiled, "you recite our dogma again." ”

"Now?" Phyllis was a little reluctant.

"Now!"

"Well," Phyllis bit her lip and whispered, "First, you must not use offensive magic with more than three structures in any city unless you are at war, second, you must not use magic to bewitch any orderly life, enslave any orderly life, third, you must not make evil sacrifices of any nature for the study of magic, fourth, you must not abuse magic because of your own greed, and fifth..."

The sound of Phyllis's recitation lasted for nearly half an hour, and the organizational dogmas or laws that had been slowly perfected by the members of the Twelve Mage Tower for hundreds of years echoed through the noisy trade routes.

When Phyllis finished reciting, Cornelia handed her a jug of water and asked, "Do you know what to do now?"

"Got it..."Phyllis was in a calm mood at the moment, looking at her mentor with a bright smile, "I heard that the beach next to Luoxin Port is beautiful, I want to go there with my mother." ”

"Is it the Golden Coast?" Cornelia asked, her eyes reminiscing.

"Yes, my sister told me that I can forget any troubles when I go there. ”

Cornelia looked at the farms on both sides of the official road and said with a smile, "It's a nice place to be, especially in this season..."
