For the next few days, Talos never found an opportunity to talk to Sandra alone about the Pocket Dimension, in fact, never to see Sandra again.

As the time of the conference approached, more and more participants came to the Oriental Freeport from all over the world through the teleportation array extending in all directions.

Coupled with the fact that other mages who were curious about this third-order meeting flocked to the portal, the Eastern Freeport Teleportation Hall was simply overcrowded these days, and the teleportation arrays were constantly flashing with magical aura at a frequency that was usually unimaginable.

In this situation, Sandra began to get busy, going out early and returning late to attend various salons, tea parties, lectures, and exchange meetings that only legendary mages were qualified to access.

- The mages of the Council of the Nine Rings have never hesitated to share their knowledge and mysteries of magic with other mages, and as long as you have the qualifications, if you can, they wish that all people in the world could show great enthusiasm and curiosity about magic, and it would be even better if they could bring down the faith of the Church of the Gods.

So Talos rightfully blames Sandra for the problem and doesn't think the cause is himself, but he has to admit one thing, habit is a terrible thing.

The four-armed naga only followed the laziness for about a week, adding four hours of sleep in the morning and evening, and indulging in a routine that seemed to be a luxury to others, both physically and mentally.

Coupled with the remnants of the [Gluttony] six-meal system, the members of the Frozen Praetorian Guard brought by Sandra from the Black Sea are very surprised to find that the second in line of the Nepton family has a tendency to shift to "lazy and lazy", at least on the surface.

By 12 a.m., the curtains of Talos' room on the second floor of the Magic Manor were automatically opened, and warm, shimmering golden sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Whoop -

Stimulated by external factors such as sunlight and temperature, the giant python sleeping at the bottom of the water was awakened, and a colorful snake's tail swept across the water, splashing several waves, and sinking into it.

After a while, the water rolled, and Talos yawned and floated up from the bottom of the water, his short blond hair dripping with water, and he looked lazy, not as energetic as a high-ranking bloodline knight, even if he had just slept for a full sixteen hours.

This pool built specifically for Naga is filled with living water, flowing in and out at all times, and simulating the flow, temperature, and salinity of the ocean at 800 yards under the sea through a magic circle, creating the most natural and comfortable environment for Talos to sleep.

Naga looked out the window as she dressed, and the dazzling sunlight made Talos blink several times before he could get used to it—today was the 15th of 20th, the day of the official opening of the Third Order.

Given that the Love Church knew in advance the true purpose of the Council of the Third Order, Naga the Talos male's instincts told him that there would be an inevitable dispute today.

An hour passed, two hours passed......

Nothing happened, and the entire Oriental Freeport was as bustling and noisy as ever.

Before Talos couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the matter in the pocket dimension, a black dot suddenly appeared in the distant sky, which quickly grew larger with a roar, approaching the Eastern Freeport at an extremely fast speed, like a meteor, so fast that people wondered if it had broken through the speed of sound.

"What's that?"

Talos was sitting in the back garden enjoying his brunch when he noticed the anomaly, the second meal after breakfast, and the first time he set his eyes on the distance.

A minute later, the unknown flying object shrouded in the defensive shield came to a halt above the surface of the sea about eleven miles from Freeport East, hovering there, motionless.

The Bloodline Knight's good eyesight, the support from the Soul Fire, and the condescending location of the Floating City allowed Talos to capture the distant scene for the first time, and the slowly retreating defensive shield contained a spire-like building, or rather, a mage tower.

A free-flying mage tower.

Since the time of the ancient Arcane Empire, every mage has a dream about the mage tower, just as every soldier aspires to go into battle to kill the enemy and become a general.

The Mage Tower is a well-known thing as the lair and the most impregnable fortress of every archmage or legendary mage, and a fourth-order archmage can even compete with a legendary mage for a short time with the help of the mage tower.

Of course, the amount of work to build and enchant is quite huge, and the gold coins and magic materials required are also astronomical amounts that an ordinary mage cannot save in several lifetimes.

There are quite a few mage towers that can fly in the main material plane, most of which belong to the Council of the Nine Rings, but in terms of popularity and mystery, it is undoubtedly the highest mobile mage tower in Wisney.

More than once on the magic web, Talos has browsed information about the Wesney Mobile Mage Tower, a mobile mall with a wide variety of products, special magic materials from other planes, the owner is most likely a legendary mage who is a part-time plane merchant, and it is likely to be related to the Church of Fortune......

Just the third second after recognizing the Venice Mobile Mage Tower, Talos made the decision to prepare to go shopping, but while the Serpent's Tail moved a six-foot distance in the direction of the gate, it was very rare that reason killed his curiosity in a fast, ruthless, and accurate way.

He always remembered that today was a special day, and was convinced that something would happen between the Council of the Nine Rings and the Church of the Gods, such as a local conflict, and it would never be wise to leave the heavily guarded magic manor.

It was naturally very difficult for the curious Talos to make this decision, with huge side effects, regret stuffing his whole heart.

The gods were above, and it was Wisney's Mobile Mage Tower, but for various reasons, he could only wait and see from afar.

How to describe Talos's loss and frustration at this moment?

It's probably as depressing as buying a luxury villa for only 998, but the total net worth is only 997.

Or maybe you finally get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal with your favorite idol or goddess, including but not limited to autographs, handshakes, group photos, and dinners, only to be told that the event is over when it is finally your turn after two hours of patient and excited queuing.

A Naga mage who traveled with Sandra to the Eastern Freeport alleviated Talos's reluctance by unleashing a high-level spell from the Prophecy faction, Peeking into the Eye, an upgraded version of the Mystic Eye.

After connecting to visual sharing, Talos can not only clearly see the specific images around the mobile mage tower, but also hear the live sound through the spell, as if he has really come to the door of the mobile mage tower.

"It's really Wisney's Mobile Mage Tower, I didn't expect to meet it in Freeport East!"

"The last time it was seen was said to have been in the Khchaman Marsh, on the 14th of October. ”

- Talos can guarantee that his message is correct, and that it is exactly the same time and place as the last time Chris met the Moving Mage Tower.

"There is still a very precious material to make wisdom elixir, and I have searched through the entire Oriental Free Port and there is no stock, which is my last hope. ”

In a cacophony of surprise, anticipation, and praise, Talos noticed an unexpected and familiar figure in the far corner, with a look of resentment—the bishop of the Church of Fortune, Bill Osborne.

"Because of the sudden appearance of the Mobile Mage Tower, the turnover of our Fortune Church's property in the Eastern Freeport has dropped by at least 10 percentage points compared to yesterday, and I have to suspect that the purpose of his presence here is to compete with us for market share......

Fifteen minutes later, Bishop Bill, who received a message from Talos, came to the Magic Manor and complained to him about how inopportune it was for the Mobile Mage Tower to appear today.

The same applies to the Church of Wealth, which is the only church on the main material plane that has set up a property and shop at the headquarters of the hostile Nine Ring Council, for 50% of the profits, and trampling on the law for 100% of the profits.

This may seem rather unreasonable and not "churchly", but it is not difficult to understand if you consider the Goddess of Wealth's definition of the two priesthoods of wealth and trade, as well as the high profits that can be made from wealthy mages every year.

Talos magnanimously forgave Bill's chatter, just as he had recommended him to the Colosseum, and came to the conclusion that the owner of the Wesney Mobile Mage Tower was not as related to the Church of Fortune as the web had suspected.

"So, why are you in the Free Port of the East?" Talos asked, puzzled, "if memory serves, you were sent to a city to preside over a parish sitting alone when you last spoke to me, and you weren't—"

After a moment, Talos looked at Bill suspiciously, guessing, "Something to do with the third-order meeting?"

Yes, since the Pleasure Sect can inquire about the matter of the pocket dimension, it does not seem to be difficult for the Wealth Church to know in advance.

Bill first showed a "so you know" expression, then thought of something, suddenly realized, admitted, "It's a little bit related-"

He gestured and continued, "If the Nine Rings Council is willing to accept negotiations, I will be an assistant. ”

Don't look at it as just a small assistant, if it weren't for Cardinal Gaz's back, he probably wouldn't have been able to get this opportunity.

As for what to negotiate, both sides know it.

Talos rubbed his chin and remained silent, he didn't think that the Council of the Nine Rings was willing to give up such an excellent opportunity to expand its power and improve the strength of the mages to negotiate with the Church of the Gods.

Sometimes gambling is an essential part of the spirit.

If the Pocket Dimension plan is successful, the overall strength of the Nine Rings Council will have to increase by at least two percent, a temptation that is hard to resist.

"I would rather the negotiations go smoothly, both for the sake of the church and for my own personal position—"

Before Bill could finish his sentence, there was a sudden buzzing sound in the air, as if someone had hung a beehive in his ears.

The two of them came to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out, only to see that the seven mage towers on the floating city were all blooming with dazzling magic aura, and one after another magic crystal pulse cannons stretched out from the specially built, tall and pointed arrow towers, and began to store energy......

In the center of the Floating City, the 350-foot-tall, pyramid-shaped arcane transmitter is covered with a myriad of light patterns that resemble electronic circuits, and the spire is filled with a brilliant energy that is difficult to look at......

Farther away, a total of twelve pillars of magical light, about two feet wide, shot out from the obelisks at different locations in the Eastern Freeport, instantly intertwining into a nearly transparent curtain of light in the sky, turning down, enveloping the entire city.

"The Nine Rings Council's non-sale, an omega-level magic defense system!"

Bill recognized at a glance that this seemingly thin and light curtain that could resist multiple legendary spells was jointly developed by legendary mages who specialized in protection, enchantment, and white magic factions, and that shrouded the city of wealth was a second-level alpha-level magic defense system.

Floating City, Arcane Launcher, Crystal Pulse Cannon, Mage Tower, Omega Magic Defense System......

All of this reminds Talos of one thing, the battle is about to begin, the battle belongs to the Council of the Nine Rings and the Church of the Gods, but he can't be sure for a while how many churches are involved, and at the moment it is certain that only the Church of Love and the Church of Wealth are involved.

The dazzling streamer flickered on the light curtain, and finally froze in the vivid orange red, casting a striking light and shadow!

"Level 1 alert! Level 1 alert! Level 1 alert!"

A loud mechanical sound emanates from the Tower of Babel, along with a trumpet-like siren that fills every corner of the city, alerting everyone to the impending danger.

Naga knew that in a place he couldn't see with the naked eye, the other seventeen floating cities were probably ready to turn into air fortresses at any time.

Several streams of light flew out of the Tower of Babel, some fell to the floating city, and some flew to the edge of the shrouded light curtain, which was the legendary mage belonging to the headquarters of the Council of the Nine Rings.

There is a golem outside to inform the personnel inside the magic manor not to go out at will, so as not to be unnecessarily attacked or get into trouble, and other members of the Frozen Praetorian Guard are in charge of handling it, and Talos is ready to get other information from Bill.

"Combined with the current situation, I am afraid that it is more appropriate to describe it as a state of confrontation, which has not evolved into a war between legendary mages and cardinals and epic knights. ”

Due to the Alert Level 1 status, as well as the evacuation and reminder of the Battlemage riding on the Wyvern-shaped Structure, the flow of people on the busy streets disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was replaced by a team of well-equipped Battlemages, as well as uniformly modeled Structures and Golems.

However, the group of battle mages did not get a chance to unleash any of their attack spells, and the enemy never launched an attack on the Eastern Freeport.

Compared to the meteorite, meteor burst, earthquake and other large-scale and spectacular natural disaster spells that were rained down by the Illuminati in the last raid on the City of Wealth, this war between the Council of the Nine Rings and the Church of the Gods was not as shocking as Talos imagined, and both sides had some scruples.

"No, maybe it's not intense at all—" Bill pondered for a moment, looking very uneasy and a little dignified at the thought of something, "It is precisely because it is so intense that the battlefield cannot be placed on the main material plane. ”
