Balk's concerns proved to be warranted, although he had sent people to inform all parts of the route in advance and ask them to be on higher alert. But when Passus's combined fleet appeared, it inevitably caused panic among many people. Humans belong to a species that can accept what they understand, but have a fear of the unknown. For example, the floating boat, they know how it is done, and they know how it floats, so they can accept it. But these warships under Jenn are completely different, they are completely different from the appearance of the floating warships that the Magic Empire is used to, and even the style is not similar in the slightest, and the size is so huge that anyone can be sure at a glance that this is definitely not the style of the Magic Empire -- this is similar to the earthlings looking at alien spaceships, they don't need to confirm at all, they can be judged at first glance, this is definitely not a product from their own world.

Although the people on the Klein continent do not yet have the concept of aliens, similar ideas are still the same. Therefore, when they saw the metal battleship that covered the sky and the sun for the first time, most of them immediately exploded. Fortunately, Balk's timely notification caused the towns below to hurriedly dispatch manpower, which finally calmed the panicked people. But even so, even the officials were nervous, and they looked at the sky in horror, for fear that if this thing accidentally fell, then they would be all doomed. After all, from the outside, this thing is simply a small mountain, and if it falls down, won't it all turn into meat sauce?

Luckily, though, Jenn's magic technology has stood the test.

And just as they were heading towards the Magic Empire Royal City, the archmages of the Rainbow Council had already witnessed the majesty of these warships in different ways, and looking at these terrifying metal monsters, even those who were well-informed, they were all shutting their mouths at this moment. Facts speak louder than words, the most powerful first fleet of their magic empire is not even enough to stuff the main guns of that terrible metal giant ship in front of the other party, it is conceivable that if this fights, the other party only needs one shot, then the first fleet of the magic empire will be completely finished, and there will not be even a piece of residue left.

“…………… Okay, now, I think we've seen the strength of the other side, what do you think? ”

There was a dead silence in the wide, bright chamber of the council, and it was not until a moment later that Archmage Nicholas spoke to break the silence. As one of the archmages with whom Jenn had the best relationship, he was not surprised that Passus had any strange things, from the very beginning of the construction of the dragon, to the back of the Vault, and now to the metal battleship, along the way, Archmage Nicholas was about to go numb. So compared to the others, he obviously seems a little calmer. Hearing Archmage Nicholas's words, the other archmages were not so calm, some of them frowned, and some of them had gloomy faces. It wasn't until a moment later that another archmage spoke.

"What can we think? The other party is obviously not good at ........."

"You'd better be cautious, Chris."

Hearing the other party's words, Nicholas raised his eyebrows. This Archmage Chris is one of the people in the Mage Council who has always opposed him, he is a supremacist of the Magic Empire, and he has always been full of pride and pride in the civilization of the Magic Empire. But this pride was too much for him to look down on outside the Wizard Empire. If it were a change of day, then it would just be a slightly distorted pride of a slightly arrogant archmage. But now, the other party is still so yin and yang, so it is conceivable that there will definitely be no good things in the future.

"The other party did not show hostility to us, and I think that this time Lord Jenn came in person, there must be something to discuss with us, and it must be a very important matter. Therefore, I hope that all the archmages can put aside your inner prejudices for a while and join forces, only in this way can we get through this difficult time! ”

Hearing Archmage Nicholas's dissatisfied answer, Archmage Chris was also pale, but he hesitated for a moment and finally closed his mouth. As Archmage Nicholas said, this time the situation is very special, the other party not only came prepared, but also showed such a strong force, the archmage here is not a fool, knowing that in a diplomatic situation, once the other party shows unresistible force, then it must reach some agreement that he is not willing to reach.

"So, Archmage Nicholas, with what you know about that lord, what will he want us to do when he comes this time?"

Until this time, another archmage also asked softly, she looked to be in her fifties, she was kind-eyed, and she was the only woman among these archmages. Of course, no one would look down on her because of her gender, and everyone knew that no one who could enter the Rainbow Council and sit in this position was ordinary.

"First of all, I don't think you can worry about the other party asking our Demon Empire to surrender or cede their land."

Hearing Nicholas's words, the archmages present immediately raised their heads and looked at him, in fact, this was also the biggest worry in their hearts. And at this moment, seeing what Nicholas said so conclusively, they became curious.

"Why? Archmage Nicholas? ”

"It's simple."

Hearing his colleague's inquiry, Archmage Nicholas smiled.

"I think you only need to look at the deeds of the lord before, in the beginning, Passus was just a barren territory. But later, it went through a series of wars, including the defeat of the Shining Gold Empire, and the defeat of the Holy Kingdom of Seth. We have all seen the power of those dragons, and it is no exaggeration to say that Passus, with such force, has no problem conquering any country on this continent. But it has never done this, even if the Skar Federation was split and the Holy Kingdom Seth was disbanded, this lord still only guarded his own one-third of an acre, and had no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to expand. From this, we can see that this lord has no territorial or power claims......... Of course, considering the composition of the inner city, he may still like beautiful women. ”

Speaking of this, Nicholas also made a joke no more than a little to ease the slightly tense atmosphere, and hearing Nicholas's words, the other archmages present also laughed softly. They are not the believers of the Holy Kingdom Seth who are not close to women, and they also know a little about the rumors that there are beautiful women everywhere in Passus, but the so-called heroic nature, if it is not sex, what kind of hero is it called?

In this respect, the mage is much more acceptable than the bishop.

However, after laughing, everyone frowned again, and to be honest, although this dispelled some of their doubts, it also made these archmages even more worried. To some extent, if the other party's claim is territory or power, then it means that it is at least a "worldly" desire. But now, the other party doesn't want territory, and second, he doesn't want power, so what is he here for?

Sometimes, a person who does not have desires is more difficult to deal with than a person who has desires, because you don't know what he needs and what he wants.

"So, what does he want us to do this time?"

"I don't know, to be honest, I don't know much about this lord's thoughts."

Nicholas shook his head at the inquiry of his colleagues.

"But I think it must be something very important. Ladies and gentlemen, maybe you don't know this lord, but I've dealt with him many times, so I know very well that this lord is definitely a person who goes to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he never wastes anything else. He's not the kind of guy who would deliberately flaunt his power to demand submission, that is, he's coming with such fanfare this time because he's determined that this time it's necessary to make us nod in agreement, and that's why he's doing it—but frankly, I can't find any reason for him to do that other than territory and power. ”

"Isn't he peering into our treasured ancient magic?"

Hearing this, Chris couldn't help but speak again, and this time, Nicholas shook his head.

"Probably not, based on my contact with this lord, he is not really enthusiastic about magic, and he doesn't even have a few regular magicians under him. Only one Miss Elise is a mage, but she's only a high-level mage, and ........."

Saying this, Nicholas's eyes suddenly lit up.

“……… Moreover, this lord's understanding of magic seems to be a little different from ours?! ”

"Archmage Nicholas, what do you mean by that?"

Looking at Archmage Nicholas's appearance, the other archmages also immediately perked up, it was obvious that Archmage Nicholas seemed to have thought of something, or rather, what clues had he found?

But unfortunately, in the face of everyone's expectant gaze, Archmage Nicholas shook his head.

"It's just my guess, but guys, I hope you'll be prepared........."

As he spoke, Archmage Nicholas looked up.

"Perhaps, the Magic Empire will usher in a big change............"

Then, he muttered to himself. (To be continued.) )
