It is a hall surrounded by a staircase with nearly 300 luxurious leather seats. If you ignore the magical objects that adorn the corners, then this magnificent hall looks almost like a standard European parliamentary hall.

In the middle of those seats was a huge magical mahogany round table, on which the six-pointed star was carved with a layer of mysterious ripples like water, slowly rippling.

The air was filled with a faint scent of lavender, a special magic potion that would refresh the attendees.

However, today, the hall that was originally empty on weekdays has long been full of people. The 300 leather seats were filled with occult organization personnel that Edward and others had accepted in various countries throughout Europe during the year. Of course, they are now united into two factions, one is called the "Silver Star Order" and the other is called the "Golden Dawn".

The gray-robed mage apprentices, with the emblems of different factions embroidered on their chests, took the 180-degree boundary of the gate of the council hall as the limit, and divided the entire council into two halves, and sat in two camps with distinct diameters.

"I heard that the Speaker will appear in person this time!"

A young man of the Silver Star Order, who was wearing a gray mage robe, with a mysterious silver reverse cross pattern embroidered on his left chest, and a somewhat bewitching face, licked the tip of his tongue and said with some excitement.

"yes." Sitting next to the bewitching man was a middle-aged obese woman with thick eye shadow.

"Do you say that the plan we submitted to the great Rasmussen leader for 'Enslaving the Muggle World 3.0' will have the support of your Excellencies? ”

There was undisguised fervor in her voice.

"Be careful!" The bewitching young man's face changed, and he reminded him solemnly.

"This is the wizarding world, and we want to call Leader Rasmussen the Executive Councilor."

The fat woman looked around cautiously, especially those who were not far from her, sitting outside the Silver Star Order's camp, and who had a strong gentlemanly demeanor, Golden Dawn High Mage Apprentices.

Fortunately, though, the Golden Dawn mages, who were basically from the senior occult school and the high degree of psychology in the outside world, were all whispering to each other politely, and they didn't pay attention to them.

"Whew!"

The obese woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"But then again."

"Those of us who are noble with pure-blooded human blood are destined to be the protagonists of this world."

"I believe that the honorable members of the Executive Council will agree with our philosophy."

The strange young man replied with an indescribable sense of superiority.

Their conversation attracted the attention of almost all of the other mage apprentices sitting around them, who were also of the Silver Star Order.

For a time, the discussion about the topic of "enslaving the Muggle world" spread to the entire Silver Star Order.

"Humph! A bunch of stupid social dregs! ”

The overall discussion of the Silver Star Sect still can't hide some mages from the Golden Dawn camp with ulterior motives after all. They inadvertently brought the topic of "enslavement of the Muggle world" to their camp.

A young gentleman with straight combed hair and a pair of well-mannered gold-rimmed glasses spoke around him with disdain.

"Do they know how powerful Muggles are right now?"

"Those idiots who only know about dreaming and taking drugs, do they know about nuclear weapons? I suspect they don't know anything but babble!"

"Our proposal "The Fourth Revision of the Magical Industrial Revolution" is highly feasible. ”

After speaking, he realized that what he had just said was a bit vulgar.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was just a little excited..."

Although his words were indeed a bit vulgar, the meaning of what he meant was unanimously agreed upon by the many Golden Dawn mages present.

"Lord Edwin, you see, the little ones in the back seem to have a lot of contradictions with each other!"

An old gentleman with a Chinese face, with a flattering smile, said to the young man sitting in front of him, who was also at the forefront of the entire Silver Star Order's camp.

"Apprentice Crimo, these are not what we need to care about."

This young man is the same American California who used his friend as a sacrifice to resurrect Rasmussen in order to pursue mystery.

The word "apprentice" he called made Crimo's face change slightly, a well-known Italian tycoon who had billions of dollars in assets in the outside world and secretly controlled several mafia families.

The current Edwin has a touch of the temperament of a superior who he did not have before.

He looked at the front row of the Golden Dawn camp sitting opposite, the closest to the official mage level to the mage apprentice.

"Now we are just temporary councilors elected in the early stage of the recovery of the magical world, in this special period of scarcity."

"You know, in the wizarding world, strength is the most important thing, and a powerful and noble executive councilor like Your Excellency the Leader is our goal! Some of your thoughts, better put away! ”

In the cold voice, there was a hint of coldness, with a spiritual force far beyond Crimo's imagination, which made the old gentleman's demeanor stiffen.

"Sister Avril, you say, why didn't Mentor Rowena clean up these hateful Silver Star cultists!"

A little Lori with a round face who pouted and pouted, eleven or two, hugged the arm of a pretty silver-haired girl about 16 years old next to her, and sprinkled coquettishly.

"Millie, you know, there is light and darkness in this world, and so do we in the wizarding world. The Silver Star Order isn't all bad guys, either. ”

The girl's waist-length long shiny silver hair flashed with a broken light under the magic lamp at the top of the council hall, and she answered Little Lori's question with a serious face.

"Yes, Avril is right! The willpower of every official member of the Silver Star Order will be shocking. ”

"It's Brother Toby." Little Lori Millie saw the big boy sitting on her right, and exclaimed cutely, her soft body pounced directly on Toby's body, and the soft touch made the golden dawn, the big boy closest to the official mage rank, the little face red.

But the top-level mage apprentice's strong spiritual will, which was dozens of times stronger than ordinary people, made Toby quickly calm down, and he continued.

"The Silver Star Order is just a way of cultivating, which is a bit different from ordinary people." He paused hesitantly, "Or rather, even a little cruel!" ”

"They seek breakthroughs in death and strengthen their will in frenzy."

"There are nearly 4,000 of our full members of Golden Dawn. However, the number of high-level mage apprentices was about the same as the number of Silver Star Orders with less than 1,000 formal members. ”

"Humph! Brother Toby, people are the ones who hate Silver Star! Last time I saw a Silver Star cultist eating frogs raw! ”

"Eat frogs raw! It's disgusting! ”

Little Lori squeezed her delicate little nose, and on her round face, she spit out her red and tender little tongue, making a cute look of vomiting.

However, Millie's words reminded Toby of the extremely eerie scenes he saw when he strayed into Hogwarts Castle, the tower belonging to the Silver Star Order.

Rooms littered with mutilated bodies of unknown creatures, hallways filled with eerie laughter, and laboratories filled with countless human organs infested with formalin.

There was a shiver on his body.

Avril, a girl on the side, saw this scene, and as one of Toby's closest friends, she knew the shadow in Tony's past in the depths of his heart.

She hurriedly walked up, stroked little Lori's back dotingly, picked her up, and then asked Toby gently.

"Are you alright?"

"It's fine."

Toby smiled reluctantly with a pale face.

After he went to ask his mentor Godric, he learned that the Silver Star Order was using human fear, fanaticism, confusion, and other emotions to stimulate the rapid improvement of mental power.

Of course, there will always be situations where you go down the wrong path and really lose yourself in those fears, fanaticism, and confusion.

And these lost people were coldly disposed of by the man named Edwin who sat opposite him in the middle of the Silver Star Order's camp.

He glanced at the man across from him with some fear.

Unexpectedly, the man opposite also happened to be looking at him.

Two incomparably strong spiritual forces, through the eyes of the two, collided fiercely in the middle of the council hall.

"Bang!"

Although it did not interfere with the material world, the powerful roar that resounded through the spiritual perception world silenced the entire somewhat noisy council room.

After all, everyone present is a real official caster reserve.

However, this collision of spiritual power at the top level of the top rank far exceeded the psychological expectations of the hundreds of high-level mage apprentices present.

The high-level mage apprentice and the top-level mage apprentice are only one word apart, but the spiritual power is nearly 5 times different! In other words, if you really fight, a high-level mage apprentice is as powerless against a top-level mage apprentice as a 10-year-old child is against a 20-year-old adult.

Is this the "Top-level Mage Apprentice"?

Is this the most powerful power under the rank of a full-level mage?

Behind the two young people, countless adults who were well-known in the outside world, with pride and solitude on their faces, looked at them with complicated expressions・・・・・・
