Act XVIII: The High Council (Part II)
Isaac Livingston, Master of Arcane and one of the founders of the High Council of the Rainbow Tower, created a modern magical system and a magical revolution during the era when the Templar ruled the faith, and finally brought the Sky City into the world, making the mage a force to be reckoned with on the continent.
And beside him are the apex of the Rainbow Tower, seven high-level mages.
"Son of the Dragon", Tahiria Sphinx.
"The Storm Comes", Varian Lothric.
"The Magician", Jan Reinhardt.
"Gluttony", Gratoni Slas.
Rose Crystal, Rosa Kristal.
"Daughter of Destiny", Ikora Zavala.
and the culmination of the Arcane Master, Isaac Livingston.
This is the highest combat power of the Rainbow Tower, the existence of the seven golden ranks.
Any one of these seven people has the strength to destroy a small country alone, and they have many strange and complex items in their long lives, which are extremely difficult to kill, and are the most difficult trouble for the Templars.
For this reason, the top of the hunt list is also called a vacancy, because these people could not be killed simply by the Night's Watch.
"Lawson, Guardian of Isrul, Lord of the Sins. ”
Islam is also referred to in some literature as the "realm of sin", that is, the realm of the guilty, hence Rosen's self-proclaimed claim.
"Isrul, that's a distant name. ”
Isaac had a look of remembrance.
"According to the intelligence, you have fought against the Chaos People projection of Christine Royal Academy?"
Varian Lothric, the silver-haired man with pigtails, asked.
"To be precise, I've fought with the projections of five Chaos People. ”
When Rosen said this, he could feel that almost everyone present was a little distracted.
The people of chaos have been sealed away for many years, and the largest destruction event to date should be the arrival of Ishbal, the capital of sinful karma hundreds of years ago, and the only people present experienced that event, Varian and Gratony, in which several golden tiers fell, and countless silver were lost, which became the deepest nightmare for everyone who witnessed it.
And Lawson actually fought against the projections of the five people of Chaos?
Rosa heard Rosen's answer, looked him up and down with interest, and then asked.
"You're only at the level of the upper reaches of silver, how did you fight against the people of Chaos?"
When Rosen heard what he said, he told his story succinctly, but some of the details were omitted.
After listening to Rosen's account, everyone present fell silent.
What Rosen said, except for Safros, the law devourer of the elemental realm, the appearance of the rest of the people of chaos basically has relevant observation records, and they are all corroborated by Rosen's statement one by one.
According to the intelligence, the projections of those Chaos Folk are not in their heyday due to various kinds of lack of preparation, and it is not difficult for the silver-level Lawson to defeat them if he is armed with some special props.
Anyone here can easily defeat the Chaos Folk as long as they are present at the time, so that's not the most important thing.
What really surprised these high-ranking mages was Rosen's luck.
To be able to be on the scene every time the people of chaos come in such a short period of time is not so much a powerful bad luck, but rather a level of legal reasoning, which makes people feel that as long as they follow him, they will definitely be able to meet the people of chaos again.
This luck is really unimaginable, and it is more like the fate that people often talk about.
"It's hard to imagine that the Chaos Folk and the Cultists have infiltrated the civilization of order to this extent, and without your help, perhaps the world would have been in a state of war by now. ”
Isaac said, frowning a little worriedly.
"The seal of the Chaos Folk shouldn't have been unlocked so early, something must have gone wrong on the outside of the crystal wall. ”
Yang Lihai and said contemplatively.
"Time is too short, we haven't gathered enough strength to deal with the true Chaos People. ”
Gratoni said, surprisingly calm.
"If the crystal wall is really shattered, the endless void invades, and the sea of magic power is turbulent, then it means that the greatest magic tide in history is coming, and the concentration of magic power in the main material plane will reach an unprecedented height, which is both a danger and an opportunity. ”
Ikora whispered, then looked at Lawson.
"Under the influence of the Demon Tide, it will be very easy to advance, and I think His Excellency Livingston's advancement will be very smooth under the influence of the Demon Tide. ”
"I just don't know if it's because our strength has improved faster, or if the Chaos invasion is faster. ”
Varian shrugged.
"The return of the Sage, the return of Chaos, the prophecy says, may indeed come true in the near future. ”
Sighing, Tahiria shook her head.
According to them, if the seal of the people of chaos is broken, that is, the crystal wall will be gone, the sea of magic will overflow the elemental realm, and the power of the endless void will be infused into this world, and there will be a fierce conflict with the original laws of the world.
It is possible for the civilization of order to return to the pomp of antiquity and even the gods, but it is still unknown whether the civilization will survive this catastrophe without goddesses and saints.
"Prophecy?"
Hearing something other than the unexpected, Rosen couldn't help but ask.
"This is a prophecy that has only been circulated among a very small number of people, and the content is that after a thousand years, the Holy One will return, chaos will return, and the world will once again be plunged into strife, except for those of us, who are probably the archbishops of the Templar and the members of the Council of the Stars, and a few dragons. ”
Livingston said, not hiding anything.
"In that case, those who know this prophecy should have started preparing a long time ago, right?"
Rosen asked, it seems that this prophecy should have been handed down from the period when the saints were hidden, so those who can know and believe this prophecy must have been preparing for it since thousands of years ago.
"Unfortunately, people are not as wise as you think, and even if they know the prophecy, they will still be indulged in the chains of hatred, like the ashes were banished, and it will only be five hundred years before they really begin to prepare for the return of the people of Chaos. ”
Isaac said, seemingly helpless.
"Moreover, the various forces are fighting on their own, and they have no intention of cooperating, if the people of chaos really come, I am afraid that no one can stop them. ”
So, Isaac turned to Lawson.
"I hope there is one person who can bring the various forces together to form a unified alliance against Chaos. ”
