Chapter 208: Council of Six
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, a bell rang in the auditorium.
The whole auditorium fell silent, the wizards were seated, and five lights and shadows gradually appeared on the platform in the middle of the auditorium, and then, five wizards with different images walked out and sat down on the stage.
"I've seen Your Excellency the Speaker!"
The wizards stood up and saluted, shouting in unison.
Anthy Vodaus raised his hand and nodded in response, "Everyone, sit down." ”
With a clatter, the wizards sat down again.
As Wren saluted, he carefully observed the bigwigs on the stage.
Of the six speakers of the Wezeland Council, only five were present today, with Anci Wodaus sitting in the middle and the other four sitting on the left and right of Anci Wodaus.
The one on the far left was Rayne, who was young but had white hair, and was also the most junior member of the council, the seventeenth level arcanist Kadegar.
He was assassinated on the day he arrived in Floating City, and Speaker Cadegar was on duty to track down the red-haired witch.
As a result, there is no news so far, I don't know if I haven't found it, or I haven't checked it at all.
To the left of Speaker Cadegard is a middle-aged witch and the only woman in the Council of Six.
Her hair is jet black, but there are thin crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and her skin looks a little dull, even with spells, she can't hide the traces brought by the years, giving people a sense of twilight.
Wren's soul eyes saw that as soon as the legendary witch came out, he immediately cast a cold gaze at him, making no secret of her hostility.
"Legendary high-level, nineteenth-level water elemental envoy. ”
This made Wren's heart tremble, and he didn't have to guess to know that she was Mytir's teacher, Speaker Medra.
Maitiel was involved in the dispute over the territory of Glamorgan, although he showed the canonization document, declared the other party to be an invader, and killed Maitiel reasonably and legally in the name of the lord, and the Floating City had no right to hold him accountable, but the Speaker of Medra would definitely not give up.
The position of this female speaker is also very ambiguous, and she often speaks for the Mordu nobles in the parliament and fights for interests, and is almost the representative of the Mordu nobles in the Floating City.
It stands to reason that Speaker Medra must be inseparable.
Wren didn't know if Master Anthy had investigated her and if he had been involved in the affairs of Shield Island?
His gaze turned to Master Anzai's left, and he saw a male elf, with long splendid golden hair, neatly combed behind his head, revealing a pair of pointed ears, extremely handsome, deep eyes, wearing a gorgeous robe, and exuding a noble temperament all over his body.
"High Elves?"
Wren was slightly stunned at first, and then realized that something was wrong, the elf's appearance was just a disguise, and the inner soul was actually a dragon!
"Another dragon lurking among mortals!"
Wren casually glanced at Osilia beside him.
This dragon who transformed into a high elf, the body is a prime-aged red dragon, nearly eight hundred years old, he is the same as Osilia, a part-time mage, and his professional level is as high as nineteen!
"It turns out that Speaker Cleos is a red dragon. ”
Wren had heard that there was a High Elf named Cleos in the Council of Six, and that the airship landing pad in Wezeland Floating City was named after him.
The speaker is low-key, obsessed with the study of spells, and does not like to show his face, probably because he is afraid of revealing the secret that he is a red dragon.
Does Master Anthy know that he is a red dragon?
Wren guessed as he looked at the last Speaker.
This is a male wizard with a majestic face, with an appearance between young and middle-aged, angular facial features, long red hair, a thick short beard on his chin, and the eye of his soul shows that he is an eighteenth-level elemental envoy, and he is a rare dual elemental specialization of water and fire!
"He's supposed to be Speaker Ronnie. ”
Wren immediately recognized that Speaker Ronnie was a man of the hour before Speaker Cadegard, talented and famous, but in recent years, he has started a family and returned to his family, and he is no longer as sharp as before.
There are two pairs of teachers and students in the Council of Six in Wezeland.
One pair is Master Anthy and Colested, and the other is Cleos and Ronnie.
Wren turned off the Soul Eye and looked at the five Speakers on the platform, one Holy Soul Wizard plus four Legendary High Ranks, and one Colested who was not present was also Legendary High Rank, and the strength of Wezeland Floating City was unimaginable.
In addition, there are as many as double digits of legendary wizards, as well as hundreds of elite wizards below the legendary level, if they come out of the nest, they can sweep through a certain abyss plane with their feet!
In comparison, the strength of Long Shande and the Duke of Silver Star, whether it is the number of top powerhouses or wizards, is more than a step behind.
Wren couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the Wezeland Floating City qualified to be one of the Empire's Big Three.
It's just a pity that such a powerful floating city is in danger of crashing.
And there is a faint tendency to split internally.
When the wizards were seated, Master Anthy immediately shouted, "Wren, you come up." ”
The eyes of everyone in the entire auditorium fell on Wren and became the focus of the audience.
"Yes, Your Excellency. ”
Wren replied respectfully, quickly got down from his seat, walked over step by step, climbed the only six steps, stepped onto the platform, and came to Ancivodaus.
A hand gently landed on the top of Wren's head, and Master Anthy said softly, "Now, please join me in praying to the goddess." ”
The wizards folded their hands and pressed their index and middle fingers upwards in a prayer gesture to the goddess of magic.
Wren closed his eyes slightly, and followed the silent prayer.
This process is to confirm the faith, so that the followers of the evil gods do not infiltrate the floating city of Wezeland, and at the same time, it is also to attract the attention of the goddess as a witness to the apprenticeship ceremony.
So many powerful shamans prayed together, and the idol of the goddess immediately reacted.
In the silence, the eyes of the god shone brightly, and the silver flame of the torch burning in his hand surged up and was extremely fiery, as if a magnificent force had descended from the sky and shrouded the entire auditorium, making the wizards feel a faint coercion, and their hearts trembled.
Wren experienced this large prayer ceremony during the canonization ceremony.
There is no problem with his beliefs, and he is not afraid of shadow evil, so he is calm.
But it also made him think of a possibility.
If there are fallen sorcerers or believers in evil gods in the floating city, they know the process of the apprenticeship ceremony, which will attract the attention of the goddess, so they do not dare to participate in it at all.
There are probably only half of the wizards present today.
Among the remaining half of the wizards, there may be believers in evil gods, and even like Pirino Aiden, they have taken refuge in the Lord of the Necromancy.
"Goddess protection, truth forever!"
Ten minutes later, with a prayer from Anthy Vodaus, the prayer ended.
A faint smile appeared on Anthy Vodaus's face, and after the goddess's scrutiny, Wren's faith naturally no longer had to be doubted.
Therefore, he immediately announced in a loud voice: "The Goddess, and all the witnesses present, from today onwards, Wren Augustus will become my student, and as a teacher, I will uphold the will of the Goddess, pass on all my knowledge to Wren Augustus, and spread the wisdom and glory of the Goddess." ”
Wren immediately knelt down on one knee: "Meet the teacher." ”
"May you never stop on the path of truth. Anthy Vodaus stroked the top of Wren's head and said solemnly.
"Remember the teacher's teachings. Wren replied loudly.
"Good!"
Ancy Vodaus was extremely happy, and said with a smile on his face: "Get up." ”
Under the gaze of more than two hundred wizards, Wren stood up straight, and Anthyvodaus took out a purple badge and pinned it to Wren's chest.
The half-palm-sized badge depicts a purple abstract eye with three straight arrows extending from under the eye, and the pupils glow outward, surrounded by subtle runes in the light.
This is the emblem of the Wezeland Floating City, and the coat of arms represents the identity of the Wezeland Wizard.
Only wizards who enter the Tower District and worship under the door of legendary wizards can obtain the Wezeland Badge.
At the same time, it is also a powerful piece of magical equipment.
Earlier in his castle, Perry described in detail the role of the Wezeland Emblem, first of all, it was a pass to enter and exit the various facilities and buildings of the academy at will, including the thirteen towers scattered throughout the floating city, and of course, access to the private sphere of legendary wizards required permission.
Two spells come with it on the badge.
One is a portal in the sixth ring, which can be used twice a day, and one is an arbitrary door in the fifth ring, which can be used five times a day.
The starting point of the portal is always fixed at the designated location in the Floating City.
The end point can be outside the Floating City, but not more than fifty miles, within which the wizards of Wizeland can return to the city at any time.
However, there is a limit of two times a day, and only one trip can be entered and exited.
There are more times of any door, five times a day, and it is one ring higher than the average door, the distance is farther, and it can be used at any time.
The mana cost of both spells is provided by the Core of Eola, and as long as you are in the Floating City, the number of spells used will automatically recover the next day, regardless of the location.
Therefore, the wearer of the badge is not limited to the level, and it can be used when worn.
Even a first-level wizard, as long as he has the Wizelan badge, he can open a portal up to six rings, regardless of spellcasting ability and consumption, which is very convenient.
Anthy Wodaus helped Wren hang up the badge and patted it lightly, and a burst of spiritual light poured into his brain, bound to his soul.
Wren suddenly realized in his heart.
This badge is unique in that it can be used twice as many times as other badges, allowing you to use portals four times a day and any door ten times!
Obviously, this is the benefit that being a Holy Soul Wizard brings to his students.
The essence of the Wezelan Emblem is equivalent to a key, the key that can activate the nuclear energy of Iola, and different badges have different permissions.
The person who holds this authority is naturally the supreme leader of the floating city.
Anthy Vodaus's snow-white beard moved, hiding the smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes motioned for Wren to keep quiet.
Wren tacitly said gratefully, "Thank you, teacher." ”
At the same time, all the wizards in the auditorium said in unison, "Congratulations to Your Excellency the Speaker, and welcome Wren to the Wezeland Floating City." ”
Wren turned to the people and saluted, "Thank you, and please take care of me in the future." ”
The reactions of the wizards were mixed.
The wizards who were hostile to Wren did not say a word and had a very cold attitude, and there were also some wizards who tried to get closer to Wren and said kind words. However, most people remained neutral, neither close nor hostile, and simply came to observe the ceremony.
As soon as the apprenticeship was over, the wizards activated any of the doors on the badge.
One by one, any door opened in the auditorium, and the figures disappeared one by one.
On the platform, under the introduction of Ancy Vodaus, Wren greeted the four speakers one by one.
Speaker Medra had a cold face and nodded stiffly, if it weren't for Ancivodaus's face, he wouldn't want to stay here for a second.
Cleos and Ronnie, the two teachers and students, were just a little curious about Wren and gave a few words of encouragement.
Only Speaker Cadegar has the most easy-going attitude towards Wren.
"Everyone, I won't delay your time, let's all disperse. ”
Before Anthy Vodaus could finish his sentence, Medra's figure vanished, and the red dragon Cleos and Ronnie saluted and left.
"Wren, we can talk more if we have a chance. Cadegar threw out a kind invitation before leaving.
Osilia stepped onto the platform and shouted, "Teacher." ”
"Well, both of you come with me. Anthy Vodaus waved open a portal, and Wren followed in, finding himself in a large, crowded room surrounded by a dozen large bookshelves, each filled with books.
A cursory glance reveals that there are at least twenty or thirty thousand books, all of which are related to magical knowledge.
His teacher sat behind a large desk, which was stacked on top of each other like a hill.
Wren and Osilia stood at their desks, barely where to stay.
Seeing Wren's somewhat surprised expression, Ancy Vodaus smiled indifferently, raised his hand and swept it, and suddenly, the surrounding space changed.
In the blink of an eye, all the bookshelves and clutter were gone.
The sun shines in, and it's transparent and bright.
Wren's gaze looked through the glass window, and he saw that there was a blue sky outside, and he could look down on the entire floating city, and in the distance, far below was the city of Modu, and with his eyesight, he could even see his own castle.
This is the top of the Wezeland Tower!
"Sit down. ”
With Anthyvodaus' words, several chairs appeared, and at the same time an arbitrary door opened, and out of it came five wizards, one of whom was still a legend.
"Teacher. ”
"Your Excellency, Speaker. ”
Several people greeted Anthy Vodaus by different addresses.
Osilia took the initiative to introduce Wren, and among them were a man and a woman, two high-ranking wizards, who were students of Master Anthy like Wren. According to her, the teacher currently has six students, and one is not in the Floating City like Colstead.
The other three wizards were students of Colested, including the legendary wizard of the twelfth level.
They are the disciples of Ancy Vodaus, so everyone is very close.
However, Wren noticed one of the witches at a glance, she was very beautiful, with brown hair and black eyes, a slender body, and a profession of eighth-level shapeshifting wizard.
The soul color shows that she has a deep hostility towards herself.
Wren identified it a little, and immediately recognized it through her soul characteristics, she was the witch who assassinated her on the street on the day she first arrived in Floating City!
