Chapter 82: The Covenant
In the hazy night, Victor, who was in the Vapu Tavern, received a reply from the Magical Society through a one-time ultra-remote teleportation circle.
Under the candlelight, Victor, who had finished reading the letter, flickered his fingers, and the firelight flashed, and the snow-white letter paper instantly turned into ashes.
"These old foxes...... This plan is insidious enough! Victor smiled, "Still, I like ......"
……
Early the next morning, Rodney Manor.
"Damn! The temple's actions have shaken some people's faith......"
Rodney in the study was at a loss, "If you still can't contact the messenger of the Magical Society, the 'Northland Alliance' will exist in name only!" ”
"Old Locke, haven't our people found any information about the mage yet?" Count Rodney asked again reluctantly.
"My lord, it's a pity!"
Gray-haired old Locke stood tall beside Count Rodney, "You also know that these spellcasters are mysterious! If they don't reveal their tracks, we ordinary people won't be able to find them......"
"What can I do? Alas! ”
After Count Rodney sighed heavily, there was silence in the study.
"Knock knock!"
At this moment, there was a rhythmic, crisp knock on the door.
An agitated Earl Rodney was about to reprimand him when an unfamiliar deep voice entered the study.
"Count Rodney, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Who is it?"
Count Rodney was taken aback, and his right hand was immediately rested on the sword at his waist.
Old Locke, who was standing beside Count Rodney, took two quick steps to the bookcase in the room, reached out and pressed the switch of the trap.
"Hehehe, you two, don't be so nervous......"
With this sound, a cloud of ethereal translucent gas seeped through the crack in the door of the study.
Under the shocked gaze of Count Rodney and Old Locke, the gas quickly gathered together and turned into a young man in a black robe.
"You...... You are ......"
When old Locke saw the young man's face clearly, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Victor?"
"Your Excellency Locke, we meet again!"
Victor said with a smile on his face, "It seems that you still remember my name......"
"You know?" Count Rodney, who was standing aside, turned to old Locke and asked, "Who is this Excellency?"
Old Locke hurriedly explained, "My lord, this is the Mr. Victor I mentioned to you!"
"Count Rodney, I think we can talk about signing the Covenant......"
Hearing Victor's words, Count Rodney looked at the other party in amazement, and when he saw the "cat's eye" ring on Victor's finger, he realized: "It turns out ...... Mr. Victor, you are the messenger of the Magical Society, huh? ”
"Yes."
Victor calmly admitted his identity, and did not seem to be at all worried that Count Rodney was a member of the Temple.
"Great! Finally got in touch with the Magic Society......"
Count Rodney, who had an excited look in his eyes, suddenly thought of a question, "Mr. Victor, how did you know that I was from the 'Northland Alliance'?" ”
Victor smiled: "It's not hard to guess! It is easy to come to this conclusion by knowing the situation in Saint-Nyburg and gathering some information about the royal and temple factions among the nobility......"
"No wonder he wasn't worried about encountering the people of the temple and the ambush, it turned out that he had already figured everything out in advance......" Count Rodney suddenly snapped.
After a brief exchange of words, the two sides formally introduced themselves.
"I am one of the initiators of the 'Northland Alliance', the hereditary count of the Kingdom of Barbatler, Bach Rodney, you can just call me Rodney."
"Victor Tisrael, a member of the Continental Society for the Promotion of Magical Knowledge, and a mid-level mage of the Four Rings."
The three men sat on their chairs in their studies and discussed matters related to the establishment of the covenant.
"Without further ado, Mr. Victor, I think we'd better sign the covenant as soon as possible!"
Count Rodney said in a hurried voice: "Recently, the temple has strengthened the surveillance of the royal family and nobles, and even seized and placed some of the relatives and children of the nobles under house arrest to threaten warnings!" ”
"Now, the only way to strengthen the faith of the nobles is to sign covenants and forge alliances! Otherwise, the 'Northland Alliance' is in danger of being destroyed at any time......"
"I very much agree with your proposal, Earl!"
"Only by building an unbreakable alliance will we be able to cooperate further and at a deeper level...... Under the authority of the Magical Society, I have full authority to sign an agreement with the Northland Alliance on behalf of the Magical Society! ”
After receiving Victor's affirmative reply, Count Rodney finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to avoid the leakage of news, Count Rodney invited all the other initiators of the 'Northland Alliance' for various reasons.
An hourglass time later, in the study of Count Rodney, the Magical Society officially formed an alliance with the Northland Alliance.
"Everyone!"
After signing the covenant, Victor solemnly said: "Many years ago, the ancestors of the people of the North built the 'Long Road' and opened a new history of the North! In the midst of iron and blood, the people of the North banished all kinds of beasts and aliens...... In the midst of sweat and tears, the people of the north ushered in a happy life......"
"But all this is beautiful...... Gradually shattered under the power of the Temple! ”
"Today, if we don't rise up and resist, the glorious history of the Northerners will be completely gone!"
The glory of the past has been shattered, and the cruel reality is just around the corner...... All of what Victor said caused the initiators of the Northland Alliance to clench their fists and breathe fire in their eyes.
"Everyone, it's time to reflect and not be fooled by the power of the Eternal Temple......"
"Although the Eternal Temple is extremely powerful, the 'Northland Alliance' also has its staunch ally, the Continental Magic Society!"
"As long as the two sides are closely united, the power of the temple can be completely expelled from the north......
"As long as the two sides trust each other and unite as one, they can restore the glory of the people of the Northland......
Under Victor's speech, the leaders of the Northland Alliance burst into warm applause, their expressions were excited and excited, and even a little crazy!
"It looks like it's working pretty well."
Victor and Count Rodney looked at each other and smiled, "In this way, the Northland Alliance will reaffirm its faith......
"Next, we need to study how to get rid of the core figure of the Temple forces in the North, Olbas......"
