The hut was still an ordinary hut, and there didn't seem to be any opulence to match it inside the wooden door that had been opened by magic, and the imaginary xenodimensional space was not displayed around the humble walls that gradually came into view with Duan Qing's entry, but instead there was a simple picture of a few sparse figures whispering around a wooden table. The simple bench then appeared in Duan Qing's field of vision with the light of the moment the door was opened, and then the replaced little magic glow also illuminated the silhouettes of the magicians sitting on these benches one by one, and the chaotic words in their mouths that paused for a moment were completely different from what Duan Qing had heard on Rena's side before: "...... Christine sent back the news that Dreyner's resurrection should be true, but the bloodline belonging to Emperor Frey seems to have been severed in his body, and the leylines in Redkar have lost contact with him......"

"Did she find out on her own? Or did the emperor of the Frey Empire tell her himself? ”

"There should be no need to doubt this, after all, we have all witnessed the changes in the leylines that originated in that area, and he should have abandoned all the fate that had been attached to the royal blood of Frey, and by the way, he used the residual energy to reshape his body."

"If that's the case, then there should be a plausible explanation for the strange situation that happened in that city, but we need to confirm this further as to why the Restorationists attacked that city, and what they took with them in the end...... Not. ”

"You're here."

As if he had finally noticed Duan Qing's arrival, one of the old men in a gray-brown magic suit with gray hair raised his reading glasses with his fingers: "Sit down." ”

“…… Mentor. ”

A look of relief gradually appeared in his eyes, Duan Qing, who folded his hands in front of his chest, bowed quietly, and then slowly sat down on the bench close to the old man in the surprised eyes of the other magicians: "It's been a long time." ”

"I come out once in a while." The old man replied without looking back, "Of course, this refers to the time when I taught you, and these people who make trouble in the mage council every day will never let me go of the world. ”

"Lord Wiggins, who is this?"

"One of the students I took in in the village of Carlo."

Nodding at the other man wearing monocles, a blue-and-black plaid shirt and a fur leather robe, the corners of the old man's mouth tugging slightly: "Of course...... After this incident, I was somewhat surprised that he had not died. ”

"Hey, are you looking forward to the death of a student?" Duan Qingguo, who was behind him, unexpectedly protested: "And since you know that I am in danger in Redcar, you won't go over and lend a helping hand......

"Presumptuous! Is this the attitude of speaking to the president of the Council of Seven? Another magician, who was sitting in the corner of the room, stood up angrily, "How did you break in?" Has anyone told you what level of meeting we're having right now—"

"Please don't mess around, Lord Pudrank."

A faint red light then appeared around the humble room, suppressing the roaring figure of the magician who stood up angrily, and the palpitating majestic magical energy then accompanied by the sudden convergence of the voices in the room, returning to the body of a certain red-haired female mage who had spoken before: "All of you here can come here, and naturally they are qualified to come here, since Your Excellency Pudrunk can sit here as the apprentice of Lord Romulus, Naturally, some respect should be given to the apprentices of the rest of the council members. ”

"What's more, His Excellency Wiggins himself hasn't spoken yet." A homeless man sitting in the corner of the room then swept the loose hair from his head: "Since the old man himself is not angry, you little people should not bother here. ”

"Lord Rex." His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the man in the blue-black shirt then raised his elegant fingers: "I agree with your words very much, so this principle also applies to you, I hope you can look at my Romulus's face, and don't criticize my apprentice at will, okay?" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing." So Rex retracted into the dark depths of the corner with a playful smile: "You are free, you are free, remember to call me when you are done." ”

"I forgot to introduce you to you."

Brushing his beard, Fernando Wiggins, who was sitting in front of Duan Qing, then stretched out his hand towards the blue-black shirted man in front of him: "This is Romulus, Romulus Haman, the Grand Magician who replaced Marlock as the new member of the Council of Seven. ”

"Replaced Marlock?" So Duan Qing showed a surprised expression again: "Has his death been confirmed?" ”

"The name 'Marlock', which has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, is not so simple and will die." Wiggins smiled and shook his head, "While we can't get in touch with him right now, he must still exist somewhere in the void right now. ”

"But the Mage Council can't wait for his return, so the only surviving founder of the Council of Seven has been removed." Straightening out his robes, the man known as Romulus Haman smiled casually, "It's a pity, but the position of the Council of Seven can't always be vacant, so-"

"I see."

Nodding his head, Duan Qing, who had a look of enlightenment on his face, then performed a magician's exclusive etiquette again: "Gui'an, Your Excellency Romulus, I am Linyuan Broken Water, and I am a magician and alchemist. ”

"Alchemist? No wonder. ”

Looking Duan Qing's body up and down, Romulus's face gradually showed a contemptuous expression: "I just said that Wiggins wouldn't take a fancy to a mediocre talent with extremely poor qualifications like you, but I didn't expect that he still had the ability to alchemize......"

"Don't underestimate him." The delicate voice then sounded behind the red-haired magician, accompanied by the movement of the Thousand Fingered Crane standing up quickly with a straight face: "Brother Duan...... Linyuan is cut off from water, and his alchemy attainments are very high! The effect of his potions is unmatched! ”

"No one compares?" With a disdainful snort in his nose, Romulus then withdrew his slanted gaze into the action of turning: "Let's not talk about whether his alchemy level can reach the level you praise, just the 'potion' can't reach the top of the alchemy pyramid." ”

"Got it, got it, Master Puppeteer." Waving his hand slightly, he shrank in the corner and raised his voice again, which was extremely annoying: "It is precisely because of your talent that the Mage Council will elect you into our small council, although in this way there are three guys who are good at alchemy in our seven-member council, which is completely inconsistent with our original concept of setting up this council......"

"Alright."

An indifferent voice sounded around the humble room again, accompanied by the indifferent face of the red-haired magician who raised her head again, and she shook her head as she reached out to press Rex's voice back, and whispered to Wiggins with a blank face, "Don't forget the purpose of our trip, Your Excellency Speaker." ”

"Then let's get back to where we started, Miss Freya." Wiggins's old and solemn voice then sounded again: "It has been nearly two years since the last meeting of the council, and what we need to discuss has changed a lot, although the number of people is not yet full, but at least we can discuss the most difficult imperial capital incident in front of us......"

"I still need to reiterate that I can accept the result that Shanna and Kim will not be there." Romulus, who was sitting opposite, suddenly raised one of his hands: "But I can't accept Christine's absence, she is one of the objects of my long-standing admiration, and the main messenger of this news, why does she herself refuse to come forward to explain the situation, but she must let this damn Rex appear in front of me?" ”

"Hey, hey, who's you talking about?" He was answered by Rex's disgruntled shout: "I am also one of the people who used to be in the imperial capital that night, why am I not qualified enough?" And ......"

"Even if you don't believe me, you should always believe her own sister, right?"

As if the previous angry expression did not exist at all, the great mage of the wind system dressed as a tramp then gestured towards the location of the red-haired mage, and the mage known as Freya also maintained a cold attitude, and only after a while did he break the silence he maintained: "I can guarantee the authenticity and accuracy of the news sent back by my sister, if some people don't believe it, then you can do whatever it takes." ”

"See? See? Then the smile on Rex's face became more and more hateful: "You always say those ambiguous words, this provokes people, right?" ”

"Shut up!" A look of anger flashed across Romulus's face, and he glared at Rex fiercely and then let out a sigh: "Even if the news that Freya brought back is true, our council this time will not be able to form any resolutions at all, although more than half of the participants are over, but as long as one person objects, those resolutions against the Frey Empire will not be reached at all." ”

"It doesn't matter, after all, the possibility is still there." Wiggins smiled faintly, "Just—"

"As long as all four of us nod in agreement."

As he said this, he returned his gaze to Duan Qing behind him, who seemed to have noticed the abnormality from the seriousness revealed in the old man's gaze, and his expression that was originally watching the play with his head bored was slightly retracted: "You also want to ask me about everything that happened that night, mentor?" ”

"That's right, I hope you can tell us one by one." Nodding his head, Wiggins gestured slightly to the figures next to the wooden table present: "This makes our next decision seem more reasonable, doesn't it?" ”

"But there's a lot of secrets in it." Looking around at each of the Great Magicians sitting here and their respective apprentices behind the Great Magician, Duan Qing's reply was also full of hesitation: "I don't know if these contents are suitable for saying on this occasion. ”

"It's okay, just say it." Wiggins waved his hand: "This is where the impromptu meeting of the Council of Seven is located, and you can't trust any of these people if you're there......"

"Then the entire Mage Council will have no one to trust."

Seeming to agree with the other party's statement, Duan Qing, who nodded slightly, then briefly repeated everything he had said in front of Princess Rena, including the composition of himself and the investigation team, as well as the attacks encountered on the way, he unreservedly introduced them to the several great magicians present. The brows furrowed deeper and deeper as time passed, and the gray hair of the old man sitting in front of Duan Qing seemed to become more and more messy with Duan Qing's narration, and he finally sighed deeply while playing with his hair, and then slowly took off his reading glasses after Duan Qing stopped introducing for a while: "The first question - what is the prophecy of the Frey Empire?" ”

"I don't know the full content of this prophecy, but I know part of it, and it might be more appropriate for you to ask someone from the Poole family about it."

Pointing to the outside of the house where they were, Duan Qing replied respectfully: "The Poole family is the family responsible for recording the history of the empire, and they naturally sent people to follow the investigation team this time, and at present, they are probably resting in the camp with the rest of the nobles of the empire......"

"Second question." Without the slightest intention of continuing, Wiggins, who interrupted Duan Qing's voice with a wave of his hand, asked in a low voice again, "Violet—where is she now?" ”

She ...... It's right outside. Duan Qing slowly withdrew his finger pointing out of the house: "Does the teacher want to see her?" To tell you the truth, she's now regained consciousness, so I can't guarantee whether she's willing to come and explain all this—"

"Third question."

The voice quickly interrupted Duan Qing's words, and Wiggins, whose tone and style seemed to have changed a lot, slowly turned his head, and the old right hand that loosened his white beard then slowly landed on his face, covering up his sharp eyes a little: "That Ivorst you mentioned......"

"Is that Ivost?

“…… Should be. ”

This time, Duan Qing's answer also had a somewhat serious look in his voice: "I didn't admit my mistake. ”

"That means that for some reason that happened after the change in the imperial capital, Ivorst and the forces behind him want to get rid of your existence."

Turning his body a little sideways, Wiggins' gaze then fell on the faces of the great magicians present: "You, and you...... Do you understand what this means? ”

"Looks like they're really ready to do it this time."
