525, mortal things (3)
Adam glanced up at him.
The higher-ups also knew that their answer was unsatisfactory, and hurriedly continued: "They are very cautious, and they are not afraid of death at all, once they are targeted by us, they will commit suicide immediately, and those ordinary people don't know their origin at all." ”
Adam tapped his finger on the table and said dissatisfiedly, "When did the mage world have a transcendent system that we don't recognize?
It's not that they can't explain it, but they feel that the speculation they see is ridiculous, so they simply play a video.
The video itself is lackluster, just an ordinary search and encirclement operation, but at the end of the video, the mysterious man committed suicide with a flaw, revealing a trace of energy.
"It's... Ancient magic? Are they anti-mages?"
Adam had enough reason to be surprised, after the council decided to establish the academy continent, he cleared all the anti-mage islands that were stocked outside, and slaughtered all the anti-mages in them, of course, because the mage world is too big, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a few fish that slip through the net, but now they have really become ground rats, and it is too late to hide and survive, who gave them the guts to come out and make trouble?
———
"They obviously can't have the guts themselves, but there's no guarantee that there won't be people willing to support them. Wendy, who came directly to the academy continent after receiving Adam's inquiry, said disdainfully, "There are some people, after being suppressed severely, they will obediently live like individuals, but there are some people who don't, they are even more resentful, more crazy, and always ready to make trouble for others, even if it costs their own lives." ”
Adam asked, "Was this mission carried out by the Third Pagoda?"
Wendy replied: "Yes, all of them are dead, but there are some who have infiltrated the mage continent, and we gave up after a period of time, and we think that no one will learn ancient magic, they have completely lost the soil for survival." ”
"And now?"
"It's inseparable from the liberal faction, but I think they just kept some of it, hoping that this waste will cause us trouble, the liberal faction won't be so stupid, I guess the liberal faction is more anxious than us now. ”
Adam nodded, now the relationship between the Holy Tower and the liberal faction is more delicate, the balance is tilted towards the Holy Tower, and the liberal faction wants the wind and waves to be calm so that they can develop better, and will not do this kind of stupid thing to provoke the Holy Tower.
"In that case, let's wait, war is not necessarily a bad thing, at least let these mortals know their own position. ”
Wendy smiled and said, "Is it just a mortal?"
Adam was noncommittal.
"You're getting worse and worse!"
———
That's what Adam thinks, and that's what he does.
He halted the operation of all public infrastructure on the academy continent, sold low-level weapons aggressively, and increased the price by a factor of three.
Seal down the academy continent and prohibit mages from outside the academy from entering during this period.
It is strictly forbidden for any consortium or mage force to interfere in mortal warfare, and once it is discovered that a mage has participated in the war without permission, he will be killed.
All acts of storming the academy will not be pardoned, and they will be killed immediately if they are discovered, regardless of accidental injuries. And if the apprentices in the academy dare to go out of the academy to participate in the war, they will be regarded as dropping out of school voluntarily and will not be hired for life. Anyone who dares to incite the students will be directly exterminated and will not show mercy.
The main purpose of these measures was to isolate the rat-like anti-mage, but after the order was issued, the war situation was briefly calmed down, but now the hatred was too great, and everyone was red-eyed, but a few months later, the bigger war resumed.
———
It is true that this matter has nothing to do with the overall decision-making of the liberal faction, it is just a small action by some people, and even they themselves are almost unable to remember that they have left such a backhand.
They were furious, believing that the Anti-Mage was causing trouble for them.
"Did you catch them?" Clark Extradimensional Mage is one of them, he is very strong, and even stronger than all the anti-mages under his protection combined, at that time, he easily kept a group of anti-mages, gave them meager survival materials and a very small range of habitat, and never paid attention to these rats again, just ordered the tower to contact them, and gave them some dirty work, but he didn't expect to be pitted by them now.
"No, they have unilaterally severed the connection with the Tower, the Academy Continent is too big, and they are too good at hiding to be difficult to catch. ”
Clark yelled, "Then find a way, are you all waste? What about their family in the habitat? kill them, and if you don't stop, you will kill them all!"
"They took all the members of the official rank before the betrayal, and the rest were killed by themselves. ”
Clark took a few deep breaths, barely calmed down, and asked, "Why do they dare to do this? Where did they get the resources!"
The subordinate said helplessly: "The resources we gave them are calculated according to the number of people, and now that they have killed most of the members, there are a lot of idle appearances, and besides, their tasks have been completed well before, and the tower has given a lot of rewards, so..."
Clark was furious: "Waste, waste, waste! These rats are blackmailing me! They are blackmailing a great extradimensional mage! They are provoking the entire liberal faction!"
Clark is not short of judgment, and it's obvious that the entire liberal hierarchy doesn't want to have more trouble with Santa right now. The reason why the anti-mage dared to do this was because he had calculated the mind of freedom and transcendence, and held the bad idea that if you dare not help me, I will bite you out.
The method is very clumsy, but it is very effective, once he is bitten out, Clark will inevitably be anxious, if it was three hundred years ago, this matter would not matter at all, but now it is different, the best result is that he pays a terrible price to compensate the Holy Tower, and the worse result is that he may be pushed out as an outcast.
What made Clark even more helpless was that several of Adam's prohibitions were almost directed at him, the order prohibiting official mages from entering and appearing on the battlefield prevented his own people from hunting them down, and if these people were discovered by the Holy Tower, Clark was sure that they would definitely betray him.
Will the Holy Tower let this handle go?
Clark asked himself empathy, it was absolutely impossible.
"Lately, I've been honest, and I've put away all the small actions. ”
The subordinate nodded hurriedly.
Clark said again, "And... If they come, don't kill them, but bring them to me. ”
His subordinates' bodies stiffened, and a chill rose in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say a word more, so they hurriedly retreated.
