Chapter 36: The Gathering of the Holy Heaven (Part I)
In the south of the city where the headquarters of the Council of Magic is located, there is a beautiful and luxuriously decorated hot spring villa, which has always only hosted the great nobles and the rich.
At this time, the mountain villa was surrounded by the army of the Council, and the day before, it had been completely emptied for the upcoming Holy Heaven assembly.
The night is moonless, Zikrein, and the two are leading the inspection team of the Senate to inspect the area around the villa and set up a magical barrier.
Something like this should not have been done by Nightless Moon and Zikrein.
It's just that this Holy Heaven meeting is related to the face of the Council, and in the eyes of the old guys in the Council, there can be no more problems, especially at this critical moment.
It just so happened that both Nightless Moon and Zikrein were proficient in magic.
The Holy Heaven Assembly is the gathering of the Ten Great Saint Mages, and every ten years or so, the Ten Great Saint Ten Mages of the Ishgar Continent will be held to discuss various affairs, of course, the most important thing is to deal with the Albarez Empire, the super military empire of the West.
Under normal circumstances, because the Ten Ten Saint Wizards have their own affairs, and their respective geographical locations are even more distant, they all gather with their thoughts and bodies, but this time, because the matter is very serious, the Ten Saint Ten Wizards must come in person.
The reason why it is called the Holy Heaven Assembly is because the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar will also participate.
"The Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar. Ye Wuyue looked at the information in his hand expressionlessly, this is the information about the Four Heavenly Kings, through the information, Ye Wuyue knew that the so-called Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar were actually only the Three Heavenly Kings left.
The strongest magician in Ishgar, the head of the Four Heavenly Kings, known as the magician of the gods, and the eight-line dragon-slaying magician, Senere actually betrayed and became one of the twelve shields of the Albarez Empire.
"It's really a super military empire. "Although the council's information about the Albarez Empire is not too much, nor is it very detailed, but the existing information is enough for Ye Wuyue to understand the strength of the Albarez Empire.
The difference in strength between the two sides is simply one in the sky and one underground.
Even the god Ninee is just an ordinary member of the twelve shields of the Albarez Empire, and among the twelve shields are Ogaste and Erin Belcellion, who are known as the twin walls of the empire, and according to intelligence, it is said that the strength of these two people is far above the ordinary twelve shields.
Not to mention the twin walls of the empire, even if there are ten people left, there are not many people in the Ishgar continent who can compete with them.
"Ordinary members have the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings, and it was really thanks to the trade war that year, the Ishgar Continent actually won. After reading all the information, Ye Wuji said in a low voice.
"The Council's ultimate secret weapon. "After becoming a councilor and a holy top ten magician, Ye Wuyue knew that the council not only had the powerful weapon of magic elf power, but also the council had the ultimate secret weapon, and the last hole card was to rely on this Albarez empire to retreat back then, until now, although there is a lot of friction between the two sides, but generally speaking, it is quite peaceful.
It's a pity that what that secret weapon is, even with Ye Wuji's current status, he is not qualified to know.
Of course, this is the record of the Council, in fact, in the trade war of that year, it was the first president of the demon tail who really played a decisive role, if it weren't for her, the continent of Ishgar would have become part of the Albarez Empire.
The Albarez Empire's army, which was like a rainbow on the battlefield back then, and was about to win, suddenly withdrew, leaving everyone in the Ishgar continent confused and didn't understand what was happening, and finally attributed this to the fact that the previous threat of the Senate was effective, which made the Albarez Empire very jealous and retreated.
It is precisely because of this secret weapon that the Council has the confidence to point fingers at all the magicians in the entire Ishgar Continent, and for so many years, the overall strength of the Ishgar Continent has not improved much.
In the opinion of the Senate, as long as that secret weapon is there, the Albarez Empire will not attack on a large scale.
No one noticed that the moment when the Albarez Empire withdrew was when the first Fairy Tail Leader died.
"Such a powerful enemy is peeping on the side, and they are still in the mood to compete for fame and fortune all day long, these old guys are really idle. A hint of ridicule appeared on the corner of Ye Wuyue's mouth, and he threw the information in his hand onto the table.
"But that's right, it's been peaceful for more than a hundred years, and it's normal to forget what happened back then. "As for the mentality of those in power in Ishgar, including most of the members of the Senate, Ye Wuji knows very well.
Just like before Great Qin ruled the world, the era when the Seven Heroes of the Warring States were independent, they all thought that this form would continue until one day when the enemy killed in front of them, and it turned out that it was not like this, but unfortunately it was too late at this time.
Ye Wuyue quickly put aside the affairs of the Albarez Empire, took out a magic book from the side, and looked at it carefully, although it is a thinking body, but it is just like a shadow clone, what the thinking body has learned, and when it is one with the body, the body will naturally be.
The Thoughts Body has been combined with the main body several times before, and the celestial magic of the Night Mowgli Society, the arc of manifestation, are all brought after the merger.
The magic books that Night Wuyue reads now are the books on magic in the Senate, and some of the magic is even created by Brian, the former leader of the Magic Development Bureau and now the leader of the Six Demon Generals.
In a luxurious conference room in the Hot Spring Villa, there are nine people with different expressions sitting next to a small round table, this is the ten famous saints of the entire Ishu Garhehe, the reason why there are nine people, is because although the god Sene betrayed, it was not publicized, and only a very few people in the entire continent knew that the god Sene had betrayed.
Once this news is delivered, the morale blow to the entire Ishgar continent can be imagined, which is almost equivalent to self-defeat without a fight.
"This is the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar, known as the strong ones who transcend the limits of human beings. Night Wuyue couldn't stop looking at the remaining three Heavenly Kings, not only him, but the people present except for Makarov and Joseph, the remaining Ten Holy Ten Demon Guides were all seeing the Four Heavenly Kings for the first time.
Makarov and Joseph are veteran Holy Ten who participated in the last Holy Heaven Gathering, and among the remaining people, even if Jola has been a Holy Ten for several years, they have not seen the Four Heavenly Kings.
"I've seen three seniors. Jola stood up and saluted solemnly, "I have seen Mr. Makarov, Mr. Joseph." ”
"I have met three seniors, Mr. Makarov, Mr. Joseph. "Urrutia, the night is moonless, and the three of Zikrein also stood up and saluted after Joura.
"Everyone is the same, what seniors are not predecessors, we don't dare to take a few more steps on the road of pursuing the devil's path. Volod said with a smile.
The four heavenly kings, the remaining three are the second-ranked Hy Berrien, who uses vampire magic, a black cloak, a thin and tall body, and unique pointed ears, which makes people impressed at a glance.
The third-ranked Urudhuyim is a small old man who uses magic that is suspected of receiving or transforming into magic.
The fourth-ranked Volod is an old man with a unique plant head, wood magic.
Together with the betrayal of the god Senere, he is the strongest of the four heavenly kings of Ishgar, a strong man who has surpassed the limits of human beings.
Normal human beings can only reach the level of Makarov today, and it is not possible for normal human beings to do it, which means that the so-called four heavenly kings are all non-human.
In addition to the Four Heavenly Kings, the remaining six Holy Ten are generally not ranked, of course, there are also good deeds ranked, the fifth Makarov, the sixth Joseph, the seventh Jora, and the eighty or ninety are Zikrein, Urrutia, and Night Without the Moon.
Night without moon is the lowest ranked.
Because human beings have a limit, once they get old, their magic power will begin to decline, in the original book, after the Demon Tail people were sealed for seven years because of Sirius Island, Jola jumped to become the fifth, according to Leo and the elder woman of the snake scales, Jura had reached the limit of human beings at that time.
The limit of normal human beings does not count if they are not normal people.
"I believe that everyone here knows that there are countless powerful magicians in this continent, and the continent in the west is even more numerous as stars, the so-called Holy Ten, the Four Heavenly Kings, is just a title. Uruvhuim spoke, "But no matter what, we are all magicians of the Ishgar continent, and we can't give up protecting our hometown just because the enemy is strong, this incident, the Council must have told you all the information, there is a shadow of the empire, we must act as soon as possible to stabilize the situation in the Ishgar continent." ”
"Will the Empire send someone to make a move, and if that one does, how can we resist it. Joseph was silent for a moment, then asked.
As for the one of his mouths, everyone here knows who it is.
"In this regard, rest assured, the Council has already sent a note to the Emperor regarding the situation on the continent of Ishgar, and if you don't want to cause a big war between the two sides, I think the Imperial side will restrain them. Hayberian said, holding a goblet.
"Then there's no problem. Joseph nodded.
"The Imperial side is very jealous of the Council's weapons, and without a definite certainty, the Imperial side will not take such a big risk and directly send people to join the operation, at least it will not send people from the official Empire to come forward, so we are mainly dealing with the Dark Guild on the mainland, as well as some masters that the Imperial side may join. Urufkhim said.
"But don't be careless because of this, the masters of the Dark Guild are like clouds, especially on the imperial side, the twelve shields may not make a move, but with the strength of the empire, it is very simple to take out a few people with the strength of the Holy Ten, although the imperial side definitely does not want to cause too much dispute, but the strength of the imperial side is known here, please be careful, once you find that something is wrong, retreat immediately." Urudhuyim continued.
"Urrutia. ”
"Understood. ”
Urrutia stood up as he spoke, and with a wave of his hand, a magical map appeared in front of everyone.
"According to the intelligence, this time the enemy is divided into four directions and attacks the headquarters of the Council from four directions, although it is not known what the reason is, but the enemy's purpose is the headquarters of the Council cannot be wrong. "With Urrutia's words, four arrows appeared on the map.
"The strategy we have devised is to wipe them out at the borders of the Fiore Kingdom, and once they are allowed to enter the Kingdom's borders, the damage caused will be too severe. "Four red dots appeared on the map.
"That's grouping. Joseph asked.
"Yes, according to the Council's investigation, in combining your magic, they are divided into four groups, Lord Hayberion and Mr. Jora, Lord Uludhuim and Mr. Joseph, Lord Volod and Mr. Makrov, me, Zikrein, and Night Moon in a threesome. "The map shows the places where each group is going.
"In addition, the Council's magic spirit power is already activated, and if it notices that something is wrong, it will immediately support it. ”
"Very good strategy, so be it, the peace that the Council has been running for so many years cannot be destroyed, and you must do your best. Hayberrien affirmed this strategy.
At this time, the faces of the nine people in the room changed at the same time, because I don't know when, there were suddenly four more people in black in the room, and these four people appeared in the four directions of the room, and as soon as they appeared, their bodies swelled rapidly.
Rumble.
The four of them blew themselves up at the same time, creating a strange black magic array on the ground, covering everyone in the room.
"It is. Joseph's words of surprise had just come out.
Rumble.
The terrifying explosion completely destroyed the room in an instant, leaving a large crater dozens of meters deep.
When the smoke from the explosion cleared, a huge tree appeared inside the pit.
"Thank you, Lord Volod. As the tree disappeared, everyone walked out of the tree, and when the magic array exploded just now, Volod took action to collect everyone into the tree.
"Assassination guild, it seems that the empire can't wait, but they also underestimate us. Hayberian said coldly with the goblet in his hand.
"It looks like we have to move quickly. Urudhuyim began.
"What a horrible assassination guild. Ye Wuyue stood at the edge of this large pit that was only the size of a room, but dozens of meters deep, and whispered.
It's shocking that such a powerful explosion can only reach such a small area.
Assassination Guild, this is a guild that does not exist in the Ishgar Continent, only the guild that exists in the super empire in the West, although there are some dark guilds in the Ishgar Continent, they will also be called the Assassination Guild, but that is just their own name, not the real Assassination Guild.
The Empire's Assassination Guild is the most feared guild in the Ishgar Continent, and during the Trade War, I don't know how many powerful magicians died at the hands of the Assassination Guild.
The people of the Assassination Guild are not very powerful, but they have a terrifying ability, that is, the ability to hide and hide, they can dodge most magic enchantments, spells, plus the terrible ability of their assassination magic, many magicians are assassinated, they don't have time to resist.
Assassination magic can eliminate the magic array, as we all know, magicians must use magic arrays to use magic, even the simplest flames, all must be magical, some powerful magicians can appear out of thin air in the hands of flames, ice, thunder, it looks like there is no magic array.
But this is just because they have miniaturized the magic array, and they put it in the palm of their hand, and ordinary people can't see it, and the magic array must still appear to use powerful magic.
But the assassination magic is the real elimination of the magic array, no matter how powerful the magic is, there is no magic array, of course, because of the elimination of the magic array, there is an additional procedure, so that when the assassination magic is launched, it must be advanced, but because there is no magic array, you don't know that the other party is preparing magic, so most magicians have suffered a big loss in this regard.
The Senate has done a lot of research on this, but unfortunately in the end, it was all in vain, and it was impossible to study a magic array that could eliminate the magic array.
On a high mountain on the border of the Kingdom of Fiore, a white-haired young man was sitting on the peak of the mountain with a huge golden cross on his back, his hands folded and his eyes slightly closed.
"Lord Rakard, the assassination failed. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind the young man and bowed.
"Oh. The white-haired young man named Rakad nodded without moving.
"According to the intelligence, all the Ten Saint Ten Demon Guides of Ishgar have been dispatched, including the so-called Four Heavenly Kings. When this figure said the Four Heavenly Kings, he sneered.
"Will you come out, Akuno Nokia. The white-haired young man stood up, looked at the sky in the distance and said lightly.
