Chapter Fifty-Six: The Secret and the So-Called Great Plan
The back road was intercepted, and there was no way to escape, but Renault was also very simple, sitting cross-legged on the spot, and said helplessly: "Okay, what is going on?" ”
Councillor Oger waved his hand, and Qi Lan, who was standing behind Renault like a ghost, disappeared, but his figure disappeared, and the faint threat did not dissipate at all, Renault did not turn his head, and his eyes stared directly at the council member in front of him.
"Actually, you don't have to be nervous, it doesn't hurt you. Speaking of which, the origin of this incident is indeed related to your teacher, Izakil, so we are not fooling you. Councillor Oger was not particular either, and sat opposite Renault with his robe lifted, looking like he was talking at length.
Renault smiled bitterly: "So you also admit that the so-called teacher's relics are just a reason, right?" ”
Councillor Ouge nodded: "You are indeed very smart, but this kind of tongue may not bring you any benefit, okay, we don't need to waste any more time on these little things, next, you just need to listen to me, understand, young man." ”
Renaud nodded, signaling that he would not intervene again.
Master Oge loosened his neckline and cleared his throat before he spoke unhurriedly:
"Your teacher, Izakil, used to have a majestic nickname called 'The Star Chaser,' and you probably haven't heard of him. His rise could be written as a biography of ups and downs, and he was the first and only one to reverse the image of the Star Spirit Wizard in the hearts of the people. ”
Councilor Ouge paused for a moment, looked at the confused look on the young man's face opposite with satisfaction, and continued: "He doesn't know what method he used to make his star spirit fundamentally strengthened, and that kind of power is probably indescribable with my language ability, you can understand it...... Transcendent sanctification. ”
"Many people wonder about the reason for the sudden rise of Itziquil, and they believe that the ways of magic are interconnected, and the method that can make the Star Spirit Wizard rise may also work on other departments. Well, it has always been natural to plunder, and your teacher has dealt with these 'little troubles', but he was strong enough at that time, so everyone had to turn their eyes to other places......"
He paused again, this time his grey eyes looking up and down Renault as if he were picking goods.
The muscles on Renault's body tensed suddenly, and he could feel the bloody wind and rain just by Ouge's description of a few words, and it was not difficult to imagine what kind of "small means" human beings would take in order to be more powerful.
But Oge smiled slyly, his little story succeeded in achieving the desired effect, the young man in front of him is like a frightened bird, dealing with smart people is sometimes easier than dealing with stupid people, you may not need to spend any more words at all, they themselves will use their delicate brains to build your story completely.
This is much more effective than a blunt threat.
"Don't worry, kid, we're not particularly interested in your secrets. Did your teacher teach you that 'method'? Is that so? ”
Reynolds was sweating profusely, his brain was racing, and he didn't know how to answer, he did have a secret, but he himself didn't know if his secret was the same secret as the secret in the mouth of Councillor Oger, but in any case, if he was not careful, he was afraid that he would get involved in some deep chaos, and he tried to avoid it.
But Councillor Ogur didn't seem to be tempting, and he continued: "I don't think he did, because that's a forbidden method after all." ”
"We once found a ruin, don't look at me like that, there really is such a ruin. After some corroboration, we can conclude that this is the reason why your master started to work, and we organized an expedition to enter the ruins......"
Councilor Og's gaze suddenly darkened, as if he recalled something extremely terrifying: "We have opened Pandora's box, and the things there are not within the reach of mortals, and the only ones who can control that power are probably the legendary gods and the devils of hell. ”
"It was a disaster, really, a disaster. In the end, the disaster was brought to an end by your teacher, and he himself was never found, but the rest of his life must have been painful. ”
"And those who survived, the few who survived, vowed to keep the details of that catastrophe in the depths of their minds and never mention it again, so the only thing I can tell you is what you have heard so much now."
Renaud was already fascinated by the fact that his teacher had told him some of the secrets when he was dying, but he could feel the vagueness of the teacher's words at that time, there must be something hidden behind this matter, and now Councillor Oger's words seemed to have lifted the curtain a little more.
"So I hope you didn't inherit those 'methods' of Izakil, whether it's for you or for me, it's not a good thing, okay, these are actually just foreshadowing, I didn't plan to talk about so much, but you kid has something to do with that incident, so I'm talking too much."
He took a deep breath and let himself regain the majesty of the superior: "Now, let's get down to business. ”
"That incident made us officially realize how strong the power of the magician can be, magic is a magical power, but it is also a force that must be used carefully, and any mistake can lead to catastrophic consequences, so in order to deal with this situation, we have made some small preparations......"
"You know, we have to be accountable to all the people, and the purpose of the Magic Council is to control magic."
Councillor Og's words began to lose their focus, and Renault's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and finally, he couldn't help but interrupt.
"Excuse me, Mr. Senator, what do you want to say?"
"I want you to be part of a plan, a great, good for the country, a rigorous plan......"
In the night, the stars shimmered, and in a corner where no one would notice, the huge conspiracy that claimed to be justice was slowly revealed.
The next day, just after dawn, Renault was already sitting on the first floor of the hotel, enjoying the free breakfast provided by the owner.
After a while, a sleepy-eyed Mira came down from the stairs, her long white hair was a little messy, her eyelids were dull, and there were faint shadows of dark circles under her eyes, it seemed that she had not slept very well last night.
"Morning." Renault greeted Mira.
Mira didn't respond to him, but reached out and took away the bread that had just been smeared with fruit syrup from Renault's hand.
"Where did you go last night?" Mira asked vaguely as she ate.
"Didn't you let me figure it out on my own, I'll figure it out myself." Renaud replied casually, picked up another slice of bread and carefully spread the jam, and handed it to Mira.
"You know each other." Mira grabbed the bread and stuffed it into her mouth, probably because she didn't get out of breath, she chewed it very hard, and accidentally choked on the bread.
She grabbed the cup in front of Renault, drank the black tea inside, and then slammed the cup on the table, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Renault looked at the cup in her hand with a strange expression.
"That's ...... Forget it, I'll go buy tickets later, and we'll be back to the guild tonight. Renault flipped through his schedule, page by page.
"Are you leaving today?"
"Well, it's all done, and besides, are there any important things you forgot about on the guild's side?"
"What's the matter?"
"S-level demon promotion exam, have you forgotten? Or are you going to throw in the towel and give up your place to Elsa? Renault said jokingly.
"How is that possible, how is it possible to let that little smash and ride on my head, go, let's rush back." Mira finished pulling up Renault and walked out.
"Hey, be a little more mindful of your ladylike image, and don't use those rude words." Renault reminded helplessly.
"Cut, I know, why is a boy always so verbose, let's go."
