One hundred and forty-seven storms in the Storm Islands

Sailing thousands of kilometres east from the port of Causeway in Hadrang, the sea is blocked by endless reefs and terrifying storms. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Transfer to a floating boat on the reef, led by a professional magic navigator, and after cutting through this storm, you will come to a new world.

Islands of all sizes stretch out in all directions, reaching into the sky. On each of the larger islands, you can see a tall tower, some of which are square and pointed, and some of which are straight and round, and the height seems to be related to the identity or power of the tower's owner.

Above the tower, a dense stream of floating ships or flying monsters haunt the clouds. Underneath the tower are layers of buildings that extend like collateral to the tower.

In the distance of the horizon was a towering mountain, and when you got closer, you realized that it was a scene of countless towers piling up on several islands.

Thousands of meters tall towers are built on islands, supporting a magnificent and prosperous city like pillars.

It is a three-dimensional city, divided into several levels according to height, and each floor is inhabited by mortals of different status. On the highest floors, there are magicians embroidered with silver and white tower markings on their cuffs and robes, like gods living in the clouds, trampling the whole world under their feet.

The Storm Isles, the region where the Finn Mage Federation is located, and the Silver City in the center is also known as the City of Vantaa.

The highest floor, the Tower of the High Council, sits in the center of the city, and the circular plaza is filled with vehicles of all kinds, and birds and beasts are stunned by the magical power that envelops this level.

Dressed in colorful robes, magicians stepped onto a petal-like translucent arched bridge, drawn by a gentle stream of magic, like spirits summoned by angels, to the tower, which represented the center of power in the magical world of Finn.

Under the podium of the tower, the demon warriors put their hands on their chests and bowed their heads in salute.

These young men, selected from among the common people, who have been trained in anti-magic potions since childhood, specialize in the use of magic weapons and fighting arts, and are domesticated minions of magicians, and here they serve only as ceremonial decorations.

Behind the Demon Warriors, the battle mages in short black and red robes, armed with swords or staffs, scanned each visitor vigilantly. They are the true guardians of the Tower, and they are only at the behest of the High Council of the Mage.

Behind the Battle Mage are tall magic golems, some of which are responsible for detecting dangerous objects, and some of which act as backup for the Battle Mage.

Coupled with the Legendary level enchantment that shrouds the Tower of the Supreme Council, even the Legendary Mage has been weakened by a whole level here, making it the safest place in the Storm Islands.

"Very safe......

Sixth-level mage Zold-Mildern let out a mocking laugh that sent the neighboring mages a look of bewilderment. When the other person looked back, they either smiled in a friendly smile or turned their heads and pretended not to notice.

The Mildern family, although not a golden family with a 10,000-year heritage, is also a big family with a deep accumulation in the Storm Islands, and even many legends dare not take it lightly.

Entering the tower, and then stepping into the supreme hall on the inner floor, you will suddenly find yourself in a vast space like a chaotic void.

The space was filled with boat-like seats, and the Supreme Council, composed of more than 300 high-level magicians and even legendary magicians, was the authority of the Mage Federation. All major matters related to the Storm Islands, the Mage, and the Wizard's Workshop are subject to final decisions or rulings here.

Most of the "boats" are white, like the stars and the moon, and enclose more than twenty blue boats in the center, and these are the members of the Council of the High Council.

If the Supreme Council is a scepter, these twenty-three councillors are the jewels at the top of the scepter.

A loud voice came from a blue boat, and the old face with white hair and white beard also appeared on the light screen of each boat.

The uncrowned king of the Federation of Mages, who holds the hand of the scepter, Pamir Lemay, has been the chairman of the Council of the High Council for twenty years. He will hold this position until he is promoted to demigod and embarks on a journey to the plane, unless he commits an unforgivable crime.

"I have received a lot of comments recently on the Council's resolution last month to prohibit the proliferation of Mirage technology, and I am here today to make some clarifications on behalf of the Council. ”

This impromptu meeting is not what Le May wants to see, and in fact he is adamantly opposed to convening such a conference.

But he is not a king or a pope, and he has no right to stop it when more than half of the council agrees.

He was just a little surprised, and the fact that the number of directors who supported the meeting was as high as 70%, indicating that he underestimated the impact of this matter.

Who would have thought that a small mirage would spark such a big controversy and that a decision would have to be made as soon as possible.

"Before I go into details, I would like you to recite the Anno Oath of Joining the Mage Federation again......"

Lemay glanced at everyone and saw that everyone had lowered their eyes and nodded in satisfaction.

It's still the Supreme Council he's familiar with, it's still the situation he's familiar with, everything is under control.

This is just a small accident, the soul of the magician is transcendent to the mortal, as long as everyone remembers the oath, there are some noisy mundane things, but they are just passing clouds.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, we magicians left the continent to make their home in the desolate and barren Storm Islands, which eventually became Finn's earthly paradise, all of which came from deep reflection on how we should use magic. ”

"Balance, harmony, elegance and peace, that's the way of magic. Magic is used to shape souls, to explore planes, and to expand Finn. Gods rule over mortals, rule continents, and magically explore the unknown and discover mysteries. Gods and magic, boundaries are like natural barriers between the Storm Islands and the continent, and we should be in awe, we should obey them, and we should discover and abide by such boundaries in every little thing. ”

"The Oath of the Anchoch has taught us everything, and the mages rely on such precepts to attain peace across the ages. As long as we follow such commandments, we will always be transcendent, and not be driven out of Finn's main plane and become plane wanderers like the elves. ”

"The Anno Oath still bears the erosion of time, and in this era, the divine brilliance has dimmed a lot. The mysteries of magic spread widely on the mainland, and countless wild mages escaped the control of the mage federation. Even the magicians under the federation have traveled the continent in large numbers, and magic guidance techniques have been widely used in various kingdoms. There are even some high-level magicians who have left the Federation and moved the Magic Tower and the Magic Workshop to the mainland, which is a betrayal!"

Speaking of the back, Lemay was a little excited, and wisps of lilac overflowed from his body, which was characteristic of his legendary power. If there is no powerful barrier, and if you are in this special space, the laws of the surrounding world will be distorted to a considerable extent.

"It's just that the divine light of the oath is tainted, and the body is still intact. The oath between the mages and the gods is still valid, and the Storm Isles are still the outer paradise of the Lord of Fein. ”

"But in the second half of last year, there were some bad signs. The illusion technique, which has been silent for tens of thousands of years, has been excavated by some people with ulterior motives and used to bewitch mortals and injure the soul. ”

"If it's just a matter of clergy, wild mages, and merchants, we don't need to ask about it, it's just a matter of mortal self-infliction. Sadly, many of us magicians, many of our Wizard Workshops, have joined this wicked and depraved tide, ignoring the sanctity of the oath and the authority of the Federation for the sake of a few gold bushels, allowing the spread of Mirage technology to spread at a very disturbing rate. ”

"According to the investigation of the Council's Supervision Department, from January to March this year, the total amount of record crystals flowing from the Storm Islands to the mainland was 172 times that of the same period last year! Ninety-nine percent of them were used for mirage!"

"The Illusion Array, which was originally only used for the leisure and entertainment of the upper nobles, has derived hundreds of variants. At least a few thousand gold bushels of the mirage circle now only cost a few hundred or even dozens of gold bushels! There are also people who are so greedy for profit that they put their minds on selling crystals that record the mirage drama, and give the mirage circle directly as a gift! Such a magic circle is not only inferior in production, but also has no protection for the magic guidance technology, and has become a major hidden danger for the magic guidance technology to spread wildly!"

The Ministry of Supervision also found that in order to reduce costs, many magic workshops quietly opened production branches in the mainland, and all links from material processing to magic circle production evaded the control of the federation. Now it's just copper, mythril, pure gold, record crystals, and low-grade magic crystals, will all magic materials no longer be controlled by the Federation in the future? Magic materials can't be controlled, magic tools and even magic weapons will also be uncontrolled, haven't you thought about how serious the consequences are?"

"If it were just material, the federation would not be so vigilant, and some of the trends are even more terrifying. The Ministry of Supervision noticed that in order to further reduce costs, the Magic Workshop was recruiting a large number of mortals on the mainland and cultivating them as low-level magicians. There are also magicians who also teach spells such as the Wizard's Eye and Illusion Editor widely in the mainland, and they have created a profession called 'photographer' to further promote the spread of illusion technology. ”

"This is a more serious crime than the magic guidance technology being widely spread in the mainland! The "Era Oath" has very clear regulations, magicians can recruit magic apprentices on the mainland, but they cannot build magic academies on the mainland! The magic guide workshop recruits mortals and trains them as magicians, this is the magic academy! With the magic academy, magic will open its doors to mortals, and the mistakes of the first era will be staged again!"

"In the First Age, the lessons of the overthrow of the Magic Empire and the almost collapse of the Finn Lord Plane are all written into the "Oath of the Epoch Era", and every magician should regard it as a precept as important as life!

"Now, the little mirage is doing such a thing! I even received a paper from the wild mage from the mainland, that ignorant and arrogant guy actually wants to 'invent' the 'magic net' that relies on the magic net to transmit the illusion! He obviously doesn't know that this kind of technology can be enjoyed by every mortal in every household in the magic empire 30,000 years ago. He didn't even know that it was this kind of technology that had put the Magic Empire on the road of no catastrophe! But through him, we could see that the spread of magic on the continent was already in an extremely dangerous situation!"

Lemay paused, glanced at the councillors present, and saw expressionless faces.

He didn't care, he didn't need to see what the parliamentarians were thinking, he just needed to make the parliamentarians understand what he thought.

Based on this judgment, the Council made a resolution to prohibit the further spread of Mirage technology in the mainland. ”

"All the magic workshops set up on the mainland must be dismantled within a time limit. All Magicians must migrate to the Storm Islands for registration and supplementary education. All attempts to make the mirage low-cost and low-quality are a grave crime against the Anno Oath! And the development of mirage spells for civilian use by relying on the magic net will be regarded as a desecration of magic! The Council will give the most severe sanctions!"

Lemay's explanation made many councillors frown, and he added: "This does not mean that the illusion spell will become a forbidden area for magic, and the trade with the mainland church and nobles in the past will not be affected, but it must cooperate with the business federation through the trade guild designated by the council, which is also a necessary measure to strengthen management." ”

"Alright, that's all I have to say. ”

He patted the handrail on the boat, and the energy he spent today was enough to let the parliamentarians see his sincerity and determination.

"Since this is a resolution meeting today, let's make a statement before voting on whether to adjust the provisions of the resolution. ”

The authority of the Council is not challengeable, and no resolution can be overturned, but it can be compromised on the details, which also reflects the necessary flexibility.

In Lemay's view, such flexibility is not at all rigorous, and is completely inconsistent with the rules of magic.

The form is still necessary, Lemay said to himself.

There was silence in the space, and as usual, voting was basically a formality. What kind of statement, in such a trivial matter, is even more unnecessary, Lemay is too lazy to arrange his own people to do this.

Just as Lemay was about to ring the gavel and announce that he would skip the presentation and start voting, a voice rang out.

Very young voice, Zold-Mildern, the eldest son of the Mildern family, made Lemay squint.

The Ministry of Supervision reported that the Mildern Magic Workshop had not only opened a mirage workshop on the mainland, but had also abandoned the business federation and did business with various chapters on its own, which was the most active in this chaos.

"Honorable Chairman of the Board, and members of the Board of Directors and Councillors ......"

Zolde took a deep breath and said something that caused Lemay to squeeze the armrest, and some of them gasped.

"I think today's topic should be the abolition of the Anno Oath!"
