"Let's talk."

Time returned to the corridor of the tower where Duan Qing was, in the eighty-eight layers of the intertwined energy and magic elements, the gray-robed magician who was raising his head with Luo Na was also quietly looking at the figure of the man who had just appeared here floating in the air at this time, and at the same time, the other party's slightly indifferent answer voice came from his ears: "Although this is not the first time we have met, and our relationship is not very good, but-"

"Since they have been guests in our territory for so long, we must do some landlord friendship."

The body floating in the air slowly landed, and the man in the black magic robe then came to the space that was highly parallel to Duan Qing and the two of them: "Being able to break into such a deep place, I want to express my respect to you." ”

"Stop talking nonsense, Hywald." Sensing that Duan Qing beside him still didn't mean to speak, Luo Na on the side raised her voice again with a cold breath: "Answer me!" What exactly did you do? ”

"Oops, I didn't expect your relationship to be good." Gesturing in the direction of Christine, who was still motionless on the ground, the figure of the magician known as Haywald whispered in the direction where Duan Qing and the others were, "It's not like us people...... Ever since she was brought here by those adventurers, we hadn't paid much attention to her—except for Telisa, ah. ”

"Teresa seems to care about him."

A hoarse chuckle then sounded in Duan Qing's ears, and another old figure curled up between the same black robes appeared in front of Duan Qing: "It should be her fighting spirit that has never been extinguished that has played a role, hehehehe...... It was a very distressing little girl, and the groveling of the enemy still could not bring her out of the shadows of the past. ”

"It's not a shadow, it's the Force that has pushed her to this point." Another magician floating in the air also floated in the void outside the corridor of the tower with the same black magic robe: "As an elder in the Magic Council, I don't hate this kind of junior who does not hesitate to torture himself for self-growth. ”

"Yes, yes, it's better than being a loser!" The noisy voice immediately sounded around Duan Qing, and the sound source from nowhere then began to condense in the distance above the left: "Losers are not qualified to become members of the Magic Council!" They only deserve to be nourishment for others! ”

"You're saying that by alluding to someone, right? Phylist? A faint female voice then sounded after these crazy words, and the voice that revealed the feeling of old age then sketched the image of another female black-robed magician floating in the depths of the void in the distance: "Denton Longold's fate is not so much a defeat as the product of the interaction of their respective choices, if you cannot take responsibility for his results, then you should not at least laugh at him-"

"Choice determines fate, and that's how his fate should be."

The deep voice then echoed around every corner of the tower, and finally returned to its original mountain-like gloom with the appearance of a figure shrouded in a wide black magic robe: "Ever since this guy betrayed the Free City and fled to us, his fate has been sealed, and no one can decide anything for him. ”

"We can only praise him." It gradually converged on Hywald's side as if it had descended, and the tall black-robed magician's voice gradually became high-pitched with his outstretched arms: "Praise him for his courage to choose, and praise for his courage to face fate!" ”

"The way the middle two speak—I always feel familiar." Sighing slightly, Duan Qing, who had never spoken, finally made his voice at this time, he looked around at the figures of more and more black-robed magicians who began to appear around this void area, and his eyes also flashed with a deeper and deeper light: "Plus these people around...... Whew, it looks like you've got it all. ”

"The Magic Council is not your seven-member council, and our structure and mind are not as small as your 'limited seven'." Shaking his head, Haywald, who gestured to the surroundings, then replied with a smile: "As long as you are recognized by us as capable and talented, you will have the qualifications to become a member of the Magic Council, and as long as you can produce enough results to impress all the members, you may become one of the rulers of the entire Magic Empire." ”

"This inheritance from the Ancient Magic Empire has always been so open." As if sensing the distrust in the eyes of Duan Qing and Luo Na who were facing him, the middle-aged magician, who looked quite elegant, then continued to smile and replied, "So...... Well, it's not all there, but by now, the rebuilt Magic Council has 28 members. ”

"So much? It won't be mixed with water, right? Pursing his mouth, Duan Qing then let out a disdainful sneer: "For example, seeing that we are about to succeed, we temporarily summoned some people to scare us or something......

"Intimidation? No, no, no, we don't have to. Shaking his head, Haywald's voice was still full of confidence and easy-goingness: "It's just out of respect for the 'great achievement' that you broke into here, I think it is necessary for everyone to get to know the two enemies who provoked our Magic Empire." ”

"Or an old friend?" Speaking of this, he seemed to sound something, and the gaze that fell on Duan Qing became much stranger: "Originally, I didn't think it was necessary to introduce myself, but just in case—"

"Flegini."

"Crossen Ymir."

"Felister, Felister Camagu Faloronnias."

"Nightshade Lady."

"Rava Sorisen."

Introducing their names to the black-robed magicians who floated one after another, Haywald brought more and more strong people in black magic robes to Duan Qing and Luo Na, and a faint sense of oppression began to envelop the two of them with the appearance of the floating figures of these magicians gathered in front of Duan Qing, accompanied by their gathered gazes that appeared in the air of the corridor up or down: "...... Now that the 'Lord' has not awakened, I, Haywald, am temporarily in charge of leading the affairs of the Magic Empire, and in the face of the current situation of the Tower of Tyrann, I think it is necessary to gather all of you to witness and decide together. ”

"These two may be familiar to everyone, one is Rhona, a member of the Weavers of Destiny and the inheritor of Desman." He then stretched out his introductory hands to the other side: "As for the other one—should I call you Linyuan Broken Water, or should I call you Violet?" ”

"It's okay, it's one person now anyway." Touching his nose, Duan Qing replied casually: "With such a big battle, it's up to you to do whatever you want." ”

"We don't mean anything against you." With a meaningless look, Haywald's gesture then retracted along with his gaze among the other members of the Magic Council beside him: "This convening is mainly due to a series of unexpected situations that are currently happening to our Magic Empire, such as the current war with the outside world of the Magic Empire, and the current rituals in front of the Tower of Tyranny...... Ah, please be calm, I'll give you a reasonable explanation. ”

"As you can see, the rituals of the Tower of Tyranny are gradually being set in motion." He directed the eyes of the dozen or so members of the Magic Council gathered around him to the projection of the broken bridge in the center of the tower, which was becoming brighter, and the voice of the explanation was as slow and clear as a guide: "According to the procedures of our Magic Council, the movement of the real world must be approved by more than half of the people, so-"

"I see, it's an incarnation ritual that has been initiated." Interrupting Haywald's words, one of the magicians floating around him said in a low voice, "Who started it?" ”

"These are the two people in front of you."

In the feeling of piercing the surface of his body like a needle, everyone's eyes once again converged on Duan Qing's body because of Haywald's words: "I know this is a little unbelievable, but they did completely activate the magic ritual that required at least five of us to activate with the energy of just two people." ”

"I know the name Violet, and she was once a great magician who was famous in the real world."

Shaking his head, another magician member of the Magic Council raised his voice with a hint of dissatisfaction: "But even so, the ritual of this world is not so easy to start, and I question the process here, because last time—"

"Last time, some of you raised some objections to the adventurers' transformation of the tower."

As if he had long understood what the magician councillor was trying to say, Haywald interrupted in a low voice: "I think I've already given the corresponding reasons for this, not only because the transformations are beneficial to our management, but also because the lord trusts the adventurers......"

"Of course, the issue of safety has always been a hidden danger in our tower, and the battle with the Void Library at this time, as well as a series of accidents, have only accidentally exploded our potential hidden dangers." He said these words as he bowed in the direction of all the others around him, "Allow me, as the Acting Speaker of the Magic Council, to express my 120,000 apologies to you. ”

"I guess it's not to apologize for calling us all so hard." Turning around and glancing at Duan Qing's location, the tall and burly Rawa Sorison let out a faint cold snort: "How are we going to deal with this?" ”

"The initiation of the ceremony is only a consequence, and it is still too late." Nodding his head, Haywald's face raised again with a sense of confidence: "This is exactly what we have summoned you to do - as long as we show the efficiency that our Magic Empire should have, and discuss and decide on the spot." ”

"I see, I see." The silence lasted for a moment as Hywald's words appeared, and the Nightshade Lady, who had spoken once before, also spoke up at this time, "Then let's get started—what is the destination of this present world?" ”

"The Endless Sea, the Bridge of Miracles." Slowly, the name was announced, and Hywald replied in a low voice, "Both...... No, the three guests chose a wonderful place for us this time. ”

"The reason? Objective? ”

"From the guests' point of view, the purpose of their forced ceremony was probably just to get out of the place."

In the ensuing voice of the other magician, the answer belonging to Hywald echoed in an increasingly obvious stagnant atmosphere: "But as far as I know, Lady Violet should have a different purpose in activating this teleportation. ”

"The Bridge of Miracles is indeed an inaccessible place, and it seems like a good place to settle down, regardless of the disadvantages of the environment and supplies."

The exchanged gaze passed back and forth between the flickering light, and the voice belonging to Ymir immediately rang out around everyone: "As long as these two problems can be solved, we don't actually have to wait for the construction of a base between the Little Andachel Mountains." ”

"Of course, in terms of conditions, the deep mountains and the deep sea are almost the same." Flechini's noisy voice then tore and rang out: "But those juniors have already invested a lot of resources there in the early stage, should we give it up?" ”

"Ordinary problems such as infrastructure and personnel can be solved, but the most important thing is actually the energy that has been collected before." Spreading his hands, Haywald's smile echoed in the air as he sounded again: "As long as you can refocus that energy in the tower, everything will be fine." ”

"That's right, it can also be used to solve our losses, and if the magnitude is large enough, we can even retract the tower from the target point and complete our experiment."

"Then let's start voting: do you agree with this life?"

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

“…… Agree. ”

"Agreed."

"Good."

Voices of approval appeared in front of Duan Qing one after another, which also made Haywald's nodding action more and more obvious, and he then clapped his palms with his arms slightly extended, and made the final conclusion for the matters agreed upon by this temporary meeting: "Since there is no objection, then let's go with the sudden fate of this time." ”

"What do the guests think?"

He turned his head, and his gaze fell on Duan Qing and Luo Na: "You guys shouldn't have an opinion, right?" ”

"Say, what nonsense!" There was a brief silence, and the angry voice belonging to Luo Na also sounded in Duan Qing's ears: "We didn't come to see you acting!" You haven't answered my question yet! ”

"Questions? Oh, that's it. As if having just remembered this, Hywald, who was floating among the black-robed magicians, then gestured to one of the corners of the cloister, "It seems that it is not appropriate for me to explain the toy myself. ”

"I think it's better to let its owner introduce it."
