Continued from the previous chapter

At the same moment, while Covel was worried, Rhaegar was staying in the top hall of his own, but not alone, he had officially become a member of the Mage Tower, and Willy, who was regarded by almost everyone as the master mother, was by his side, and behind them, two loyal stone men were accompanying the 'squire'.

"Have they already decided?" Rhaegar said in a tone that didn't show any emotion, no anger, no disappointment, and no 'agitation', "It's a shame, I would have admired some of them, and with enough time, these people would have achieved much more on the magical path than they are now." ”

"Any betrayer must be punished. Standing across from him, Karen said with no expression that she had been promoted from her position as presiding officer of the Tower of St. Endos' Mage two years earlier, and her name was at the top of the list of councils that had been announced, which was seen as a sign that she had lost Rhaeggar's trust.

A magic gem floated in front of Rhaegar and on the light curtain formed by the upward 'shooting' of this red 'color' crystal, names were quietly dotted on it, and Rhaeggar's gaze swept over it one by one, and finally stopped at the first place in the list.

"Are you sure he's in there too?" Rhaegar asked, slightly surprised.

Krens nodded slightly, "They need me," the demon 'hybrid' said with a little pride, "A ninth-order pinnacle who once presided over a mage tower alone obviously has a pivotal position in any rebellion, and only a leader like him has the right to make a promise that satisfies me." ”

"It looks like our old Colville is going to lose another disciple this time. Rhaegar muttered, and the face of Els, who had been floating away before the Mage Tower changed hands, quietly appeared in front of his eyes, and this beautiful face made Rhaegar fall into a brief 'lost' face.

"He'll get through," the lover didn't hide from Willy, who gently grabbed Rhaegar by the arm and said softly, "Or, we can compensate him in some other way, as far as I know, several of the newly recruited apprentices are quite talented." ”

Rhaegar turned around and smiled at Willy, then turned to Krens, "Don't act rashly for now, they shouldn't be so quick to do it." He regained his composure and wisdom, and the light of reason flashed in his eyes, "I'm sure there will be people who will join them, since we are going to clean the room, let's do it thoroughly, I don't want dust to be left after cleaning." ”

"That's right, we have to sweep them away and leave nothing behind. In a secret room in the town at the foot of the hill where the Mage Tower is located, Suter said to his accomplices, "Rhaegar has many supporters in this Mage Tower, and even if he is not there, these people will be a nuisance, and we must uproot these people while killing Rhaegar ." ”

This handsome, introverted and reserved *** master in the eyes of people is domineering at the moment, he scanned everyone with his dark blue 'color' eyes that were "fascinated" by countless "female" mages, and one after another commands spit out from his mouth, and there were many people with qualifications and strength above him among the *** masters present, but none of them had any objections to this scene.

"Forgive me," said a mage who looked to be in his fifties after Suter's assignment, carefully planning his words, "Although all the plans were almost seamless, I still felt a little uneasy - as a forbidden mage, Rhaegar could easily kill us all by himself, and our plan was entirely based on the fact that this forbidden mage would step into our trap......" He didn't finish what he said, but everyone understood what he meant.

"First of all," said Suter, "while you are in the midst of this—or rather, there is no way back for you until then. He looked around at his accomplices, "I don't think I need to remind you that you should know what you've done, and what Rhaegar will do with you. He looked at the mage who had just spoken, "Rank," he said, "remember what you did when you searched for the test materials that Rhaegar needed, in order to escape from the monster's men, you wounded your companion with your own hands, and then used him as a 'decoy' bait to attract the monster's attention." ”

"And you, Thornron," he turned to the other mage, "what did you do to get a place in the Secret Realm? You cast a curse on your rival who was out with you, making him unable to perform magic against the beasts and dying. ”

He enumerated the crimes committed by the mages, and each one he said made the person shudder from the heart—the least of these crimes was enough to send them to the gallows, according to the precepts of the mage tower. It was because of the evidence of these crimes that Suter was able to force them to join his plan and submit to him.

"Rhaegar is not ignorant of what you're doing," Suter looked around at the accomplices, "In fact, if it weren't for the fact that dealing with you would cause a stir in the Mage Tower, he would have done it a long time ago, and transferring you to the council with no real power is undoubtedly the first step in the action he is prepared to take." So," a hideous smile appeared on his face that would be enough to enter any dream of a 'spring' young 'girl', "you have no choice but to pray that our plan will succeed." ”

"I'm sure everyone here is desperate for the project to succeed," said an old mage with snow-white hair, "but the problem is that we don't know what kind of strength a forbidden mage has, it is beyond the scope of the master-apprentice lineage, and everything we know is only from some scattered records. He paused slightly, then said, "We can't guarantee that Rhaegar will actually lose his magic temporarily after drinking those 'potions'. ”

"Maybe we should do a little more experimentation," another mage suggested in a low voice, "or find some more potent alternatives to add to it." ”

"The 'Elixir' will not fail," Suter said confidently, deciding to show his hole cards to his accomplices, "In fact, it is this 'potion' that has eliminated forbidden mages who are far greater than Thunder's strength. He whispered a name: "Fernast." ”

The mages who heard this name all looked 'shocked', and as one of the most famous events in the history of magic, they had heard their mentor mention it as early as an apprentice.

Phernast was just an ordinary sixth-order mage, and his talent in magic was limited to this, but as an outlier among mages, this 'temperamental' person showed an unusual interest in the 'medicine' of ordinary people, and he devoted a lot of time and 'essence' to the study of poison 'medicine'. No one pays attention to this kind of behavior, for mages, magic is the most powerful power, those poisonous 'medicines' that are enough to take the lives of mortals are just a joke to the powerful existence of mages, even a sixth-order mage can rely on spells to easily remove the poison in himself or others, only the toxins formed by spells can pose a threat to them, but that is obviously not what ordinary 'medicine' can do.

In fact, it seems that just as these mages believed, decades later, Phinast was still only a sixth-order mage, his research did not achieve anything remarkable, and he himself was gradually forgotten. At this time, an event that almost shocked the entire wizarding world brought him back into the spotlight: a mage who had been humiliated by Phernast when he was an apprentice approached him after entering the Eighth Order and tried to wash away the shame he had received, but the *** master collapsed under the poisonous gas placed outside the house without even entering the Finnast's residence, along with two companions who were also mages of the Eighth Order.

This incident shook the magical world of the entire continent, and the mages were keenly aware that a force that was enough to pose a threat to them was emerging, and what was unacceptable was that it didn't take too much talent to master this power, even a civilian could easily kill a *** master with a glass of poisoned wine. As a result, in addition to the friends of the dead mage, more spellcasters joined the hunt for the Phinest, and the operation that lasted for two years ended with the killing of the Phinast, but the mages also paid a heavy price, including a forbidden mage, at least nearly a hundred mages above the seventh order died under the poisonous 'medicine' of the Phinast. Enraged, the mages destroyed all the research and materials of the Phernasters, and forbade anyone to do the research again, and the poison that could threaten the mage's life disappeared into the river of time, and only the legends survived.

"You mean," the old mage's voice was a little dry, "you're going to let the poison 'potion' that Rhaegar has taken come from Phenast?" his tone was a little uncertain, "but he's been dead for at least six hundred years, and all of his research has been destroyed. ”

"Not all the results. Suter smiled and said, "Actually, there was once an apprentice in Phinast, and even though the mages killed Phinast, they didn't capture this apprentice. Luckily for the mages, this apprentice had just started learning and didn't have much knowledge, but luckily for us, the apprentice had taken with him a potion, and that was the same thing that the Hinders had come to get rid of the forbidden mage who was hunting him down before he fled. ”

Everyone gasped, and they looked at Suter with awe-struck eyes, this *** master who was far less qualified than them quickly became unfathomable in their eyes - having mastered their crimes, single-handedly devised a plan to betray and destroy Rhaeggar, and now he had taken out a 'potion' that was enough to deal with the forbidden mage, and no one knew what other hole cards he hadn't revealed.
