Chapter 225: The Calm Before the Storm
"Wren, what's going on?" Cadegar immediately asked when Anthy Vodaus left.
"Two Speakers......"
Wren recounted the incident in the most concise language, and after listening to it, the two legendary wizards looked solemn, and Ronnie raised his hand to cast a spell and said, "I will inform the teacher and send someone from the wizarding group over." ”
The Wezeland Wizards Regiment is the regular armed force of the Floating City, with a small number, only more than one hundred and twenty, of which more than half are high-level wizards, and the remaining half are at least middle-level wizards.
Wizards born in the floating city are generally divided into three types.
The first is the scholar type, who is good at studying magic knowledge and spell theory, the second is the production type, who is proficient in alchemy and enchantment, and can make powerful magical equipment, and the third type is the combat type, which applies magic knowledge to practice, focuses on improving their own strength, often travels and adventures, and has rich combat experience.
These three types of wizards do not conflict and can be both.
However, the most sought after are the combat wizards, usually also known as elite wizards, who can only enter the wizarding group of the Floating City after passing the assessment.
The members of the Wizarding Order have higher authority than ordinary wizards, and the equipment of the Floating City is also given priority to them.
There are nearly five hundred wizards in Wezeland Floating City, but less than a quarter of them are qualified to join the wizarding group.
Almost every legendary wizard comes from a wizarding group.
Because of his special status, Wren has just joined the Floating City, so he has not participated in the assessment, and he is not very interested in joining the wizarding group, but he has long heard of the strength of the wizarding group.
Only the Speaker of the Council of Six has the power to mobilize the Wizarding Order.
A few minutes later, portals opened in the courtyard of the manor, and more than fifty wizards walked out, led by the High Elve-looking Speaker Cleos.
Wren swept with his soul eye, these more than fifty wizards were exactly half high-level and half middle-level.
In addition to Speaker Cleos, there are three legendary wizards on the list.
The strength of each of them is much higher than that of the transcendents of the same level, and they are well-equipped, enchanted robes, staffs, rings, badges, and more magical items, which are full of brilliance, causing the surrounding magical energy to flow inexplicably, which is terrifying.
Nearly half of the wizarding group's forces were dispatched.
Cleos had already learned of the situation from Ronnie, and without delay, he immediately said: "Wren, Your Excellency the Speaker asked us to cooperate with you, then you will be in charge." ”
Suddenly, the eyes of the wizards fell on Wren.
No matter how good Rao is Rayne's psychological quality is, he still feels a little nervous when he is stared at by so many powerful wizards.
He took a deep breath, acting calm, and said, "Our goal is to find the third Bone Altar. ”
Wren took out a map of Mordu and displayed it in front of everyone.
He drew a few strokes on the map with a pen, drew an area, pointed to it, and said: "The altar under our feet has covered most of Modu, and the remaining one must be set up in the north of the city, that is, in the territory of the Marquis of Jiliu." ”
"My guess is that the altar is right near Riverbend Street, the center of the area. ”
"We divided into teams of four, each in one direction, and searched outwards around Riverbend Street, noting that factories, manors, or large buildings that could hide altars should be found quickly. ”
After Wren finished speaking in one breath, he asked, "Speaker Cleos, what do you think?"
"Very well, just do as you say. Cleos nodded in agreement.
The detachment was quickly completed.
Each team consists of two high-level wizards and two mid-level wizards, and wizards above the legendary level are counted as a separate team.
Cleos waved open a tall portal, and the wizards rushed in.
Wren also joined the search team.
"I'll go with you. Izuku followed.
In the darkness of the night, more than fifty wizards crossed a distance of dozens of miles and appeared on a wide street, this is the outskirts of the northern part of the city of Modu, there are not many inhabitants, and there are factories and plantations nearby.
"Let's split up. ”
At the sound of Cleos' order, the wizards summoned their mounts or blessed themselves with flying magic, flew in all directions, and began a carpet search.
Such a big movement quickly alarmed the patrol in the Marquis of Jiliu.
When the wizards showed off the Wezeland badge, the patrol immediately stopped squeaking and hurriedly sent someone back to report to the Marquis of Jiliu.
Wren sat on the back of the Shado Black Eagle in Ysso, fell into a factory, opened the soul eye and quickly searched inside, the sound of all things listened to the movement at the same time, and in less than five minutes, he was sure that there was nothing wrong with the factory.
"Let's go, next. ”
The two worked together with great efficiency, and it only took an hour to search three or four factories and several manors in a row, and nothing unusual happened.
Isu remained silent, looking a little lonely.
Wren could understand his feelings.
He was about to speak, when the sound of battle could be heard in the distant darkness of the night, and there was a faint burst of fire and explosions.
Izu immediately sent the Black Hawk of Shado to fly over, and when the two arrived, they found that it was an abandoned factory, surrounded by a dozen wizards nearby, and Cleos also arrived.
Entering the factory, an altar of white bones appeared in front of him.
This altar is not as large as the one in Pirino's manor, the number of sacrifices is about three hundred, and the necromancer who built the altar has been reduced to a corpse and collapsed outside the factory.
There is also an alchemy room next to the altar, which refines a large amount of corpse poison.
A high-ranking wizard came to report that it was their team that had discovered the altar, and the four of them joined forces to kill the enemy on the spot.
A map was also found from the necromancer's body, and like Wren had seen before, it divided Modu into three areas.
This shows that there are indeed only three altars of white bones.
The corpse poison they refined didn't have time to be released, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moments later, the Marquis of Giliu rushed to the abandoned factory, and the legendary berserker rushed in and saw Wren, and his face was furious.
However, when he saw the Bone Altar and the wizards guarding the surrounding area, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Count Glamorgan, this ......" Marquis Giliu was a little flustered, this evil thing appeared in the territory, and he didn't know anything about it.
Wren glanced at him, and his soul showed that the marquis was indeed not related to the necromancer.
He didn't explain, and said: "The stakes are very high, I can't reveal too much to you, but there should be news tomorrow, wait for the notice." ”
Then there was nothing to do here, so he got on the Black Eagle of Chardos and returned to the castle.
After Izu sent Wren home, he left without saying a word.
In the hall of the castle, Emilys did not sleep, and several high-ranking members of the mercenary group were waiting.
Seeing Wren come back, she stepped forward and said, "The Bone Altar over there in the manor has been taken over by the wizards of the Floating City, how is the situation now?"
Din Raj and Stan's are also very concerned.
Such a big thing happened in Modu tonight, and there were so many wizards dispatched in the Floating City, they had never seen it before.
Especially Din Laj, who personally detonated the incident and was curious to know the outcome.
"I can't say what the situation is. Wren shook his head and said, "Let's all go back and rest." ”
Back in the bedroom, Wren washed up and lay down on the bed, but he didn't feel the slightest sleep.
He always felt that things were not so simple.
Even if Pirino Aiden has been caught by the teacher, all this is by no means something that Pirino can do alone, plus the legendary mid-level necromancer lurking beside him, the weight is not enough.
Behind them were the Death Knot Sigils, but no enemies were found other than the legendary necromancer.
The necromancer who is responsible for arranging the Bone Altar is only a high-rank.
This doesn't match the power of the Dead Knot Sigil.
Pirino Aiden has been throwing himself into the Lord of the Necromancy for at least twenty years, and what he has done secretly must be more than just three bone altars.
In addition, it is still unclear what the Modu nobles' plan on Shield Island is.
There is also Colstead, whom he has not yet met, and there is still no news back, and his student Falina is also suspicious.
All this made Wren feel that the Bone Altar found at night was just the tip of the iceberg.
"Maybe the teacher tortured Pirino, and the truth should be revealed. ”
He looked out the window at the dark night, and in the sky, the floating city was still standing tall, as if a palpitating cloud was looming over him.
The tranquility at this time may be a precursor to the coming of a terrible storm.
"What a sleepless night!"
