Chapter 6: The God of the Storm (2)
It is still on duty at night and updated in advance
"Maybe we're not out of the question," Rhaegar said to Els, trying to pull himself back from his memories of the past, to Elsie, "but first I have to know what's going on, and try to tell me everything you know before those who are trying to deal with me arrive." ”
This sentence awakened Els, who was immersed in tenderness, and a hint of blush quickly rose to her fair and delicate face, and she withdrew her hand as little as she could, and then stood up.
"We're running out of time," she said, taking out a gem and reciting a few incantations quickly, then handing it to Rhaegar "Keep it safe, the memories will tell you what happened, and they will interrogate you tomorrow, and I hope these memories will help you." ”
Almost as Rhaegar put the gem in his arms, the door of the cell, which had been concealed, was suddenly violently pushed open.
"It's you!" a tall, thin, pale young man stood at the door, shouting in a voice that did not match his size: "Why are you? He abandoned you, left you for several years without any news, it was he who hurt you, but you want to save him!"
The other party's anger didn't make Elsie cringe at all, she turned around calmly and looked at the seventh-order mage in front of her, "I want the cell you arranged for me to be next to him." Her voice did not fluctuate in any way, but it revealed unquestionable resoluteness, and after saying this, the female mage strode out of the door, not looking at the young seventh-order mage again.
"You're going to regret it!" the seventh-order mage's pale face turned red with anger, and he looked viciously at Rhaegara, who was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, seemingly indifferent to all this, and shouted with all the strength of his life, and then slammed the door of his cell slammed shut.
Rhaegar was no stranger to this jealous and insane young mage, in fact, when he was still studying at the God of the Storm, people often compared him to him - Lac, the only son of the archdeacon of the Mage Tower, Villar, was considered to be the first genius of the younger generation of the God of the Storm before the appearance of the geist.
After Rak left, Rhaegar still didn't move, just sat quietly, but his powerful psychic power had been extended beyond the cell with the help of his Primal Companions, and after a few minutes, when he confirmed that he was not being watched in any way, the geist took out the last magic gem that Els had left behind from his bosom and began to read the memories inside.
In the God of the Storm, the owner of the Mage Tower has supreme power, except that it cannot be hereditary, this position is no different from that of a secular king, he can dispose of anyone at will without reason, he can decide who is in almost any position, he can change, repeal or enact all laws at will, except for a few iron laws that were established as unchangeable by the founder of the Mage Tower.
- And the crime that Rhaegar is accused of is one of these iron laws.
According to Els's Magic Gem, it all started a few months ago. In the battle against the long-cherished enemies of the Storm God, the Wizard Tower inflicted heavy casualties, but as the people worked together to drive away the invaders and wait for the owner of the Wizard Tower to take out the Kalren Scepter, considered the most precious treasure of the Storm God, to heal the wounded, the mages were surprised to find that the original magical scepter had lost its power.
For the mages of the God of the Storm, the scepter used by the creator of the mage tower was almost equivalent to the king's heirloom jade seal, in addition to its own great power, it also has incomparable symbolic meaning, as an artifact, the Kalren scepter can only be destroyed under one circumstance: someone has obtained the use of the scepter.
No one doubted Carson, as the owner of the Mage Tower, this tenth-order archmage had no reason or motive to damage his own treasure. After much investigation, the mages in charge of the investigation finally targeted Rhaeggar: he was Carson's only student, and if there was anyone in the mage tower who Carson was completely unsuspecting, it was not Archdeacon Villar, but the student, and from that point on, he was well equipped to steal the scepter. What's more, it took less than two years for Rhaegar to reach a level that others may not be able to reach in his lifetime, and in the history of the Storm God, to be exact, in the known mortal history, almost no one has been able to reach this point, in the past, people have attributed it to his extraordinary magical talent, and after discovering the anomaly of Callen's scepter, they couldn't help but connect the two- The help of an artifact is enough to turn an idiot into a genius. Those mages could have imagined how a young man with great ambition and who had secretly stolen the secret of his teacher's most powerful treasure secretly stole it in order to gain more power, and caused it to be damaged due to his lack of experience. In addition, Rhaegar's lack of news for several years has also become a reason for him to be suspicious, for ordinary people, it may not be easy to communicate with people while traveling, but it is not difficult for mages to contact the mage tower every once in a while, unless there is some ulterior reason, no mage wants to lose contact with the mage tower from which they are born.
That's the whole thing, as the biggest suspect, Rhaegar will be publicly interrogated tomorrow. This would not have been enough to pose a threat to him, as the mages had no direct evidence in their hands, but the problem was that Carson would not be able to intervene in the investigation of the case in order to avoid suspicion, and at least four of the seven mages in charge of the investigation were from the Deacons Council, and everyone knew that the mages affiliated with Villar unanimously saw Rhaegar as the biggest obstacle to Rak's succession as the master of the Mage Tower.
Gently crushing the magic gem in his hand, and using magic to reduce the fragment to the most basic particle, by now, he no longer had any hope of the so-called judgment. Although he didn't know why Carson didn't tell the truth about the damage to the scepter, he could guess that the owner of the mage tower must be unable to take this responsibility for some reason, and if he wanted to shirk the responsibility, a scapegoat was inevitable, and since he didn't escape in time, then at tomorrow's trial, whether it was Carson or the mages on the deacon's committee, I am afraid they would be happy to see themselves convicted.
Secretly laughing at his former gullibility and stupidity, a smile appeared on Rhaegar's face, and at the same time, the light of the predator flickered in his eyes again, and at this moment, the geist returned to the state it was in when it first entered this world: cold, rational, and unscrupulous in order to survive.
Rhaegar knew very well that the area around this cell must be full of guards at the moment, and he would definitely not be able to escape, and the only chance was to be escorted - it didn't take too much manpower and effort to escort a person who had been imprisoned in the mage tower inside the mage tower, and besides, no one could have imagined that he had become an archmage in just a few years, as long as he could take down those escorts, with the skills from memory, it was entirely possible for him to escape the range of the mage tower before people found out.
Having reworked and perfected the plan in his mind, the geist slowly closed his eyes and began to adjust his state for the upcoming escape.
The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone through the clouds to the top of the mage's tower, Rhaegar in the basement opened his eyes, and a terrifying light flashed in his eyes, and he was ready to do a big job.
The door to the cell slowly opened, and in the sunlight shining through the small window of the corridor outside, a tall figure entered, his presence somewhat surprising Rhaegar to his presence.
- That's Carson.
"Let's go. In front of the only student, the owner of the Mage Tower remained the same taciturn, and he made a gesture with his hand, and the shackles that were nothing more than ornaments to Rhaegar fell off automatically.
"Are you going to try me for my crimes?" Rhaegar asked mockingly, knowing that with Carson's personal arrival, his plans to escape during the escort had been completely frustrated—he couldn't even cause trouble for the other party in front of a tenth-order archmage.
"The trial has been canceled," Carson didn't seem to notice the mockery in his student's tone, casually tossing a magic bag in front of Rhaegar "Take it, get out of here, and never return to the God of the Storm." Before Rhaegar could say what was in his mind, the owner of the Mage's Tower had already turned around and walked outside.
"Wait until you're sure it's safe before turning it on. Before leaving, Carson concluded.
While he didn't know where all this had come from, the geist knew that if Carson wanted to deal with him, he didn't have to play such a trick, and that a flick of his finger was enough to leave him dead. Without hesitation, Rhaegar grabbed the magic bag, then got up from the ground and strode out of the cell.
Nothing happened all the way. On the way out of the Storm God, Rhaegar encountered a number of mages, but they either ignored him or avoided him from afar, and no one stopped him until he left the magic field of the mage tower, and the geist did not encounter any trouble.
Two hours later, Rhaeggar, who had been flying at least a thousand kilometers in the air, landed on a mountain peak, far from the Storm God's sphere of influence, and it was only then that the geist, who had always remembered Carson's words, opened the magic pocket.
Some precious magic materials, a map, a magic notebook, and a magic gem for memories and messages are all that you have in your pocket.
