Chapter 946: Witch Removal Operation "I"
As time passed, not only secular regimes, but also overseas trade became more and more intense. It is a group of wizards who are beyond the world, and they also follow in the footsteps of mortals and participate in the wider world. Some shamans prefer to be alone, so they often choose to occupy a scenic island or somewhere inland off the beaten track, living a solitary and hermit-like life. However, there are also wizards who prefer to live in groups, some of whom simply delve into knowledge, explore the unknown, or invent some kind of spell, object, or creature.
However, there are also some shamans who like to expand their influence in the world. Most of them are people who have no way to get ahead, or who are simply stuck in a certain realm and cannot make an inch, depressed, and cynical. In the wizarding community, they belong to dispensable roles, they are not valued at all, and they belong to those who are despised.
Naturally, with their strength and status, they are unable to participate in various activities, conferences, and special resources organized by the High Wizards and their groups. They are excluded from the more powerful group of wizards. As a result, some are depressed, or still unwilling to admit defeat, or continue to sprint, or live a life of isolation, or look for an apprentice to teach alone. Either to serve the world, or to organize a market together. Or ...... Ambitious people, set up a secret organization.
Expand their influence in the secular government, and pass on their dissatisfaction and unwillingness in the wizarding community. It is also that they are purely unpleasant to the secular government, and are uneasy about the position of their shamans in the secular world. It's also very likely to be a simple act of venting!
……
The capital of the Tang people, Xiandu.
As a thousand-year-old capital, its status as the capital of the Tang Dynasty has never changed from the day it was built to the present. It has also expanded from a city with a maximum capacity of 100,000 people to a million people today. It is a veritable international capital city in the world today. Its name, also because of the footprints of the Tang people, spread throughout the old and new worlds.
At the same time, it has also become one of the cities with the largest number of foreigners, and the foreign population and foreign culture make it a multicultural settlement. It is full of exotic cultures, architectures and people. It is difficult to estimate the amount of material and money that is consumed every day. Although it is an inland city, the river that flows through the city leads to the sea. Many things and commodities can be transported through inland rivers, not to mention that the rivers have been widened one after another in the previous year. The increase of land has made the Tang people, who have finally become more emboldened, not stingy with the occupation of land. Now, they don't have to worry about the narrowness of the land at all, and the land is wide enough for the Tang people to have enough confidence to do anything on their own land.
Towering high within the city, the Royal Palace is one of the few highlands and hills, and is also a major landmark of the city. The palace is located on a high position, overlooking every part of the city, and it is said that the city's later planners once stood on the palace to overlook the city for the next stage of planning and renovation.
Now, thousands of years later, it has long since changed.
"Hehe, a thousand-year-old ancient capital, a royal family that has never been violated!" In the shadows of the darkness, a black figure hid here, and he looked at the towering royal palace in front of him, with a madness in his eyes. "There has never been a wizard who has dared to attack the idea of your bloodline, not even the guys in the council. Today, I'm going to explore your secrets! When night came, the black figure turned into a shadow in the moonlight and crept into the palace.
The means of turning into a shadow allowed him to freely hide in every shadow in the palace, even if the palace was brightly lit at the moment. But there are always shadowy corners that the lights can't reach, and these are the perfect places to hide.
"I don't know if you should be called stupid or arrogant. The whole palace is completely defenseless against wizards! The man hiding in the shadows laughed, "Just in time for me, great witch god, I have come to challenge your majesty!" Although he said greatness, there was no fear on his face.
He easily avoided the royal guards who patrolled back and forth, and the huge palace was as if the heavily guarded guards were nothing in his eyes. He easily avoided it and went straight into the depths of the palace. He first went to the Royal Library, which is said to have been built by the legendary founding monarch and the god of wizards to store all kinds of books. He was eager to see it, and he was full of hope that he would be able to find some books or materials that would be useful to him in the royal library.
When he entered the library, he used a small spell to make all the patrol officers fall asleep. A gloomy man emerged from the shadows, dressed in a black robe.
Looking at the sleeping mortals around him, he smiled disdainfully. He then walked over to the tall bookshelves to find the books he needed, but he was disappointed. Because these are very ordinary books, mortal knowledge, and have no use for wizards. Moreover, the knowledge recorded in the books is also somewhat out of place compared to today's times, or it is simply outdated knowledge.
"Even the legendary witch god can't predict what will happen in a thousand years!" The man of the yin owl said disdainfully again, and was immediately disappointed by the rumors circulating in the country that people in the royal family had special prophetic talents. "Even if he has the talent of prophecy, he is only useful for mortals, and has no influence on noble wizards at all!" Thinking about it like this, the only trace of respect he had in his heart for the country's founding king, the legendary witch god, also completely disappeared.
He walked around the library at will, rows of bookshelves kept moving in front of his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the huge library was turned around by him. What he found and the results of his investigation disappointed him. But he hasn't completely given up, but tried to simulate the original mentality of the owner here, "If it were me, I wouldn't put important things here!" Well, there must be a compartment like a secret room! He praised his wisdom, and began to chant incantations in his mouth, bursts of strange black mist poured out of his body, spreading to all parts of the library, he closed his eyes tightly, and the formless and substantial spiritual power followed the mist to extend everywhere, and his vision expanded a thousand times in an instant.
Click, crunch...
When the entire library was covered with black fog, the hidden compartment mechanism was opened. In the northwest corner of the room, rows of bookshelves have been removed, revealing a spiral staircase that leads to the top. Seeing this, the man of the yin owl gathered up countless black mist, and immediately raised his feet and walked towards the stairs. His expression was a little excited, like a sense of satisfaction in finding a treasure. Even his face was faintly flushed, and his heart was pounding. He walked up the stairs unhurriedly, and when his eyes suddenly opened, he saw a very large room and a figure in a black robe!
“!!!”
The man in the shadow was startled, his heart rose and fell violently, sweat kept coming out of his forehead, dripping down his chin along the lines of his face!
