Chapter 53: Prelude to Disaster

Unbeknownst to Victor, who was under "house arrest" in the Tower of Babel, his attack had sparked a turmoil in Greenland.

"Did you hear that? Lord Victor was assassinated by the Temple of Eternity, and now he is unconscious! ”

"You're so outdated! According to what I have learned, Mr. Victor has vomited blood and died......"

"I didn't expect a cardinal to sneak into the floating island, it's too dangerous!"

"No, the mages and arcanists below the high level are all panicking...... I don't know who will be the next to be attacked? ”

"That's it! Greenland is no longer safe now!! ”

"Probably won't happen again, right? The Interior Ministry guys have been fully mobilized and patrolled all day, and they can now be seen in every area of Skexiti. ”

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs? How many people are there in the Ministry of Internal Affairs? If we meet that cardinal, we will be like Mr. Victor...... There is no hope of survival at all! ”

"We also have legendary mages in the Magic Society! The adults will find out the cardinal......"

"Huh!"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Laugh at you for being naΓ―ve! Do you think the cardinal will be easily found? After all these years, Greenland still doesn't know how many temples are lurking! ”

"It's scary to think about......"

"Alas! In any case, the Society has lost another Arcane genius, so let's take a moment of silence for the passing of Lord Victor......"

"Huh? Who said Mr. Victor died? I saw him at the Spell Training Center in the Tower of Babel! ”

"What? Which news is true? Whose word should I believe? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Due to the news blockade imposed by the Magical Society, the mages of Greenland are divided and panicked about Victor's assassination. When it was learned that there was another cardinal and more temple agents lurking on the island, this negativity was magnified a hundredfold, a thousandfold......

At the instigation of some well-intentioned people, a turmoil, or rather a crisis of confidence, erupted.

Groups of mage apprentices, groups of low-level mages, gathered in the "Arcane Light" square in front of the Tower of Babel to seek explanations.

It was only at this point that the upper echelons of the Magical Society realized the gravity of the situation.

In the conference hall on the ninetieth floor of the Tower of Babel, an emergency meeting was underway.

"Tell me, how do you explain this to these mages?"

Legendary Juggernaut Grant looked at the members of the Council with a gloomy expression.

"Disclose the details of this incident!" One of the directors said indifferently, "As long as the Magic Society shows a certain amount of sincerity, I believe these mages will understand......"

"Are you here to be funny?"

Felton's roar echoed through the conference hall again, "Can't you see that this is a conspiracy against the Magical Society!" If it weren't for you guys, how would the Society be in this situation......"

"Lord Felton, your words are too harsh, aren't you? Without the strong support of the major mage families, the Magic Society would have been torn apart! ”

"I think the council should be restructured!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Several Grand Arcanists did not expect that the major mage families would join forces to attack and force the palace at this critical time.

"What if we object to this proposal?" Dick, the Sleeper's Mentor, asked in a gloomy voice, "Aren't you fellows afraid that I'll trouble you afterwards?" ”

Sixteen council members sneered, and one of the council members, Astor Sissel, patriarch of the Sissel family, replied with a blank face: "...... We have mastered the core control terminal of 'Skehiti'......"

"Do you think that if you master the Floating City, you can make terms with us?"

Silver lightning bolts appeared around Winnie Murphy's body, and a thunderstorm seemed to be brewing in her eyes.

Faced with the power of the legendary mage, the faces of Astor Sissel and the others changed slightly.

"If you don't want to see the fall of Skehiti or the destruction of the Magical Society, I think our offer is acceptable......"

Silence, suffocating silence.

"I want to ask a question......"

Alchemist Valentine Brooke broke the silence by pointing to the mages in front of the Tower of Babel and asking, "Are you responsible for this turmoil?" ”

The directors looked at each other and nodded their heads in acknowledgment.

"Let them go!"

Grant pursed his lips, "As long as we can keep the Magic Society going, we can accept your proposal......"

Hearing the retreat of the president of the Magic Society, the members of the board of directors representing the major mage families showed relieved smiles, they had made the right bet! Several Grand Arcanists don't have much desire for power, and the only thing they pursue is ...... It is the search for truth.

"As you wish! As long as a few adults stick to their promises, everything will be fine......"

Just when the two sides reached a consensus and were about to carry out the transfer of power, strong divine fluctuations erupted in all directions of the Floating City, and the dark blue magic rune circle that enveloped the city suddenly shattered, and bursts of sacred chanting sounded above "Skexiti"!

"All glory be to my lord!"

"The truth is eternal! Our Lord is eternal! ”

"Exterminate heretics!!"

"Kill !!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The brilliance produced when the magic was cast rose and fell in the floating city, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing resounded throughout "Skeshiti".

"What's going on? Haven't you mastered the core control terminal of 'Skesciti'? ”

Felton of the Eye of the Stars let out an almost frantic roar, "Damn it! It's all a good thing you guys have done!! ”

The 16 councillors representing the mage family were all pale, and they were caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.

"This is not the time to argue!"

In this moment of crisis, Grant exudes the power of the legendary master, and his calm words show the way for everyone.

"This is no longer a tumultuous event...... The invasion of the temple means that the war has begun!! ”

"Felton, Dick, you immediately gather your men to recapture the core control terminal of 'Skeshiti'......"

"Winnie, you take someone to the half-plane warehouse to guard and distribute war supplies......

"Valentine, go to the 100th floor of the Tower of Babel ......"

"And you!"

Grant gestured to the council members, "Inform the respective mage families...... From now on, the Magic Society is at war!! ”
