For the bottom of society such as mercenaries, magicians are high-ranking beings, nobler than nobles, richer and more powerful, and they need to be looked up to by commoners.
From the plains of Romania across the vast seas to the lofty mountains of the dwarven kingdoms of the Eastern Continent, there are not many mages in this vast world. Aside from the powerful who have escaped from the world, only a handful of mages from the Arcane Council and the Arcane Society can be found in cities and towns.
If it weren't for the importance of Tbilisi's location, the Arcane Council wouldn't have bothered to station a mage here.
Xiao Yan's instructions were immediately carried out, and several mercenaries rushed out of the city to find out the prince's whereabouts, while others led the contractors to the Tbilisi Mage Tower.
No sooner had they walked up the steps of the tower than two burly arcane guards outside the door stopped Kroger and threw the mercenaries down the steps without even asking.
The mercenaries immediately drew their weapons and confronted the Arcane Guards. But the Arcane Guard took two steps forward without fear, as if they were about to drive everyone away. These large, giant magical creatures look sturdy and strong, and even without insight into their attributes, they can deter people with bad intentions.
"Forget it, you go down." Xiao Yan waved his hand and walked up alone.
Sonia also lifted her cloak and watched the two Arcane Guards under Xiao Yan's guard. The two golems, made entirely of energy, metal, and rock, didn't hesitate to open the door for Sonia.
"Distinguished guests. My master has been waiting for a long time. A blue cloud-like humanoid object floated over, "I'm a servant of the Grand Arcanist Koserys, Mona, please come with me." ”
Everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to it. This magical creature is similar to the Hellfire Giant and Rock Giant you've seen before, both of which are creatures bonded together by pure energy.
"Mona, the servant of the Grand Arcanist Koserys, race: elemental creatures. Attributes: Strength 55, Agility 30, Stamina 25, Perception 60, Intelligence 60, Spirit 61, Charisma 0.
Special Skill 1: Elemental Body. Adds 2000 HP.
Special Skill 2: Intermediate Arcane Wind Magic Mastery. Can cast Arcane and Wind magic below the intermediate level. ”
"It's pretty strong," Galadia tilted her head, "the arcane guards at the door aren't weak either, they're very resistant to beating." ”
"A mage who can garrison a city must have some ability." Valkyrie said, "These minions of his have spellcasting and melee abilities, and their combat power is very complete. ”
The five of Tianwen's men walked up the spiraling staircase under the guidance of this magical servant. From the outside, the mage tower was about six or seven stories tall, but when hovering up the stairs, the space overhead seemed endless.
"Space magic is applied here." Valkyrie glanced up, "I can't even see the end of the stairs. ”
"The mages are just playing tricks, don't rely too much on your own vision." Galadia's perception had already sensed the 3 breaths above the top of the tower, and was not misled by the illusion.
As it turned out, this endless staircase was not long, and everyone reached the top of the building in a trance. The city's only permanent arcanist, Kosiris, waited at the entrance to the rooftop, followed by his two apprentice wizards.
"Welcome, daughter of Count Sonia de la Mor. I've finally waited for you. Kosiris saluted respectfully, "I am Kosiris, the Arcanist of Tbilisi. Master Raphael's letter praises your noble character and bravery in the Battle of Odessa, but I think he left out the most crucial part, and the beauty of the count's daughter even eclipsed the mystery of Offa. Master Raphael actually ignored this, he must have been dizzy with old eyes. ”
"You've overspoken you, Master Coserys." Sonia gracefully returned the salute.
This mage is really good at talking, he's a slippery head, huh. Xiao Yan smiled and tilted his head, and suddenly found that Xia Boyang was not present, and no one could communicate with him about the consensus between gentlemen.
Galadia and Valkyrie both smiled, wary of Coserys.
"Master Coserys, we're here to ask you a few things." Sonia sat down and said, "The Kingdom of Lorraine has been a staunch ally of our Romanian for many years, and in the current turmoil, we need your information about the royal family of Lorraine and the dragon that occupies the Cold Mountain. ”
"Mr. Bonny and Mr. Minister have informed me." Cosiris nodded and said, "Since the fall of Cold Mountain, the Kingdom of Lorraine has retreated to its old territory to the south. His Majesty the current King, Otto, has been in a state of deterioration since his retreat, and has been missing for some time. I can understand the feelings of the Kingdom of Romania for His Royal Highness Thor, heir to the royal blood of Lorraine, who has gathered a powerful army among the adventurers of Tbilisi and marched towards the Cold Mountain in an attempt to reclaim the royal capital and Lorentia, the heart of the dwarves' most precious mountains. ”
However, it doesn't seem like his journey will be easy. Before he set off, the plan was already known all over the city. The giant dragon that occupies the cold mountain is called Angmar, and it is a powerful male black dragon, but it is not so easy to deal with. Cosiris took out a roll of parchment and showed it to everyone, with a picture of a giant winged dragon and a war elephant. The war elephant was not half the size of a dragon's head.
"According to rumors among mages, Angmar has risen to the rank of legend, becoming an being who can perceive the rules of the world. Not only does he possess the power to easily destroy walls, his long life, and his sturdy carapace, but he also has magical abilities and knowledge that every mage would envy. "I don't know a tenth of the arcane arts, and the Angmar dragon is not only proficient in the arcane, he also has fire and earth magic, and even psychic magic, far beyond the master magicians. ”
"Even an army of 100,000 is unlikely to be able to defeat Angmar, and poor Thor has listened to the rumors of a few charlatans who want to slay the dragon and take it home. Prince Thor's mental state was not stable, and I heard that he was intermittently languishing and furious, just like his grandfather and great-grandfather. ”
"Sounds like a family history." Joshua smiled wryly.
"Family history is a very accurate word, young man." Coserys nodded, "If it's a peaceful and prosperous world, it's fine. Under the pressure of the present situation, I suspect that it is only a matter of time before His Highness Thor's suspicious mind goes mad. ”
"Does Lord Cosiris have any suggestions for our plans?" Xiao Yan asked, "We hope to dispel Prince Thor's thoughts and bring him back to regather the army with the support of the Kingdom of Romania." ”
"It's impossible." Cosiris replied very dryly, "After leaving the Cold Mountain, the Kingdom of Lorraine has lost the power to continue to rule, and it will not be long before it will fall apart. ”
"The crux of the matter is that they lost the capital?" Xiao Yan was very puzzled, "As a result, the prestige of the royal family has been greatly reduced?" ”
"Not really, young man, Lorentia, the heart of the Diamond Mountains, is the cornerstone of the prosperity of the Dwarven Kingdom, and its significance can even be compared to that of the Cold Mountain. When the diamond was lost in Angmar's lair, the dwarven kingship was shaken. ”
