327 Warning
The sins brought by the Necromancer Lord Sival have not been completely eliminated, some hidden crises have gradually been exposed several months after his death, and the invasion of hell is the manifestation of the concentrated outbreak of the crisis, and the bigger problem is that the Arcane Ring is overwhelmed in the face of the invasion of higher planes, and it can be expected that this war will not end simply, and may even spread to the secular world.
Everyone is selfish, and Charlie is no exception, and in the face of this situation, he must let his partners know and prepare in advance, so as not to get into a difficult situation after the war expands, and cannot extricate himself.
The news that the Academy could not control the dimensional invasion spread in some small circles, and once the portal between the Academy and the Millennium Empire was constructed, the news would leak even more thoroughly, and it would be too late to prepare for it.
Counting the time, it's almost time to contact them.
Charlie returned to Master Nar's Mage Tower, hung a "Meditation Do Not Disturb" sign outside his door, and set up a silent barrier.
Then, Charlie took out two brilliant magic crystals from the space ring and embedded them in a bronze lampholder full of the taste of time, and suddenly, light blue magic energy flowed out from the hole, lighting up the beautiful and complex magic lines on the lampholder all the way, and a halo of light was blurred from the wick, and a scene faintly appeared in the halo, which looked like a study, and only furniture could be seen in the study, but no human figure could be seen.
Moments later, Master Ron, Brian, and Anna appear in the Magical Mirror.
Charlie showed a painful expression and said, "Teacher, the consumption of the ultra-long-distance communication circle is really not small! The two Tianhe crystals cost me more than 1,000 points, and I can only last for 10 minutes, if you are a little later, I can only turn it off first, and wait for you to come over." ”
Ron smiled: "I estimate the time, you should almost contact us, but I didn't expect that at this time, I heard a magic alarm and rushed from the laboratory, but there was no delay at all!"
As he spoke, Ron pursed his lips and tilted his head to indicate that the magic clock on the table was pointing to midnight.
Charlie stroked his head, knowing that he hadn't paid attention to this detail, the arcane ring has an alchemy system to regulate the weather and day and night changes, and it is estimated that everyone is busy dealing with the invasion of hellish creatures, so that there are some minor problems in the system, and no one cares.
Charlie smiled, didn't say much to them, and went straight to the point, saying, "What's the situation lately? Long story short, when you are finished, I have another very important thing to share with you." ”
Ron looked at Brian and Anna and said, "We have trained a total of 37 apprentices in this batch, including 21 poor teenagers from Haynes and 14 elves.
At present, they have basically mastered the thinking of basic mathematics and plane geometry, and they have also taken a small half of the course in magic array diagrams, and have begun to start training in scroll drawing, and the effect is relatively ideal, although it is only a simple basic array diagram, but all apprentices embody a quality that cannot be seen in the outside academy.
I don't know if it's math ......."
Charlie couldn't help but interrupt: "Teacher, is it the role of mathematics? Don't you realize it yourself?
Ron sneered, "I'm old, my mind is dull, and I don't want to think about those brain-wasting things. ”
This is a common problem among middle-aged and elderly people, who have little interest in new ideas and new technologies, so Charlie's plan is to find young people to learn them, and it is best to find apprentices who have not been educated in the Wagland system and have not been influenced by the traditional thinking of Wagland.
Charlie nodded, and then asked, "Are those elves safe?"
"The environment of Fort William is friendly and spacious, which is exactly what they like, and because of the magical contract, I don't restrict their freedom of movement too much, of course they live comfortably!
Therefore, it is more cooperative with our actions, Brian even incorporated several of these outstanding elves into the castle's guards, they themselves are good at hiding in the forest, detecting the enemy's movements, and the castle's reconnaissance and garrison strength has reached a new level. ”
Charlie shook his head and said, "Don't rely too much on the elves, unless we completely subdue them, otherwise, they will leave one day, and the current submission is just a compromise."
You also can't be superstitious about the power of magic contracts, it has no absolute binding force, only if you are strong, others will respect you and obey you. ”
Ron nodded in agreement.
"Uncle Brian, has the castle been too peaceful inside and out lately?" Charlie's gaze fell on the butler beside him.
Brian straightened his slightly hunched shoulders and replied: "Since the young master and the Pavel family turned their faces on behalf of the head of the family, there have been people outside the castle who have been monitoring our movements, and our escort team has arrested people three times, beaten them violently, and sent them to the City Hall Security Bureau. ”
"Who are they?"
"Most of them are mercenaries from Haynes City, and they seem to have taken advantage of the fact that we don't dare to kill them, and they don't cooperate much with the interrogation, and they haven't asked for the identity of their employer yet. ”
"According to Hayness's castle law," said Charlie, "trespassing on private territory gives the lord the right to use lethal force to protect himself and his family without having to fulfill the obligation to retreat.
Uncle Brian, you don't have to worry too much, first beat them up and punish them, and then tell them that if they don't tell their employers, just cut off their limbs and throw them into the forest to feed the wolves, and let them choose for themselves. ”
Brian asked, "But if they say that the Pavel family is behind the instructions, then ...... What can we do?"
"File a lawsuit directly in the city court to put pressure on Pavel to stop this infringing action!"
Brian couldn't help but remind: "Young Master, we may not have collected strong evidence, and Castle William is the private property of the master, and now that the master is gone, and the young master, you have been deprived of the right to inherit, I am worried that this lawsuit will not be won." ”
Charlie said in a deep voice: "What my father deprived me of the inheritance of the Pavel family's property, not his personal property, William's castle is my mother's property, which was later inherited by my father, this is his private property, and it has nothing to do with the Pavel family, and it should be inherited by me!"
Brian said worriedly: "I understand this, but, young master, I am worried that the Pavel family will not reason with you, although the law of Hennes abides by the practice of the code of nobles, but after all, those judges of the city court are appointed by the Pavel family, and they have the power to 'interpret' the law, and if they really start a lawsuit, I am afraid that they will lose!"
Hearing this, Charlie laughed out loud and said: "Your worries are right, this kind of controversial lawsuit depends on who has a deep background, who has a big fist, and who is justified, so I never expect to solve the problem through the law, I just want to show a resolute attitude of resistance."
In fact, they tried to occupy the castle, not because they fancy the value of the castle, but because they want to kill me, for these people, there is no point in retreating and evading, it will only increase arrogance, and they must pay a heavy price, this group of people will pay attention to you, and they will learn a lesson.
As for going to the city court to fight a lawsuit, it is for the public to see, once the lawsuit is launched, we will say our own reasoning, we are not afraid of them one-sided control of public opinion, even if the lawsuit loses, it doesn't matter, we have a certain reason, forcibly misinterpret the law, and we will lose the support of the people. ”
Brian nodded and said, "I understand, young master, it's just that we're afraid we'll have to increase the castle's defense force." ”
"That's exactly what I'm going to do next, and I'll talk about it after I get to know the latest situation. With that, Charlie looked at Anna in the mirror image and said, "Our treasurer is a little silent today!
Anna's face was slightly red, and she was dressed in a casual dress, like a delicate lady.
"Generally speaking, the current financial condition of the castle is quite healthy, however, the current consumption of the training class is somewhat large, roughly estimated, it is three to forty percent higher than the learning cost of the same level of magic seal carving apprentices outside, and this consumption will increase with the deepening of the scroll drawing course.
Other institutions train apprentices in the Devil's Seal Carving, with a maximum of less than ten people and at least one or two people, which is a suitable training strategy summarized by the industry, and the training plan is determined according to the scale of their respective businesses.
However, you are nearly 40 apprentices at the beginning, starting from scratch, and the investment will continue to increase in the later stage, if you can't receive such a large business order, I'm afraid you won't be able to support this group of people in the future. ”
"Your concerns are rightly founded. Charlie praised Anna's idea, and said: "But you are wrong, the first purpose of my factory is to serve my own corps, and the second is to consider the problem of profit and loss, this is a strategic investment, and I have to do it if I lose money, and I don't have enough funds, so I'll figure it out." ”
Anna grabbed a key word and wondered, "You said 'my legion'?"
"Yes!" Charlie made a pinching motion with his right hand, and as soon as his hand was raised, a shining badge appeared between his fingers, and Charlie said solemnly: "I will also share with you some of my recent gains, which are related to Anna's problem.
I have been canonized as a Pioneer Knight of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and I am qualified to form a Pioneer Legion!"
"Congratulations, young master!oh!no!Congratulations, Charlie Knight!" Brian smiled and couldn't help but applaud vigorously, causing several others to applaud as well.
Charlie smiled and said, "Teacher Ron, you are now ready to record the magic mirror, I need you to bring my words to the Marquis of Gosta, in addition, you should also listen well, the next thing is very serious!"
Ron nodded, waving his right hand, his fingertips surging with arcane energy, as if he was ready.
Charlie restrained his smile, took a deep breath, and said: "Uncle Jim, I'm Charlie, and I'm in the Arcane Ring, maybe you heard a series of stories that happened in the Arcane Ring Undead Magic Division in Twilight Town last year, I won't repeat it here, there should be a relatively complete story in the circle."
What I'm going to tell you is that this story doesn't end there, and after the start of this year's school year, its follow-up chapter, the more vicious chapter of the devil, finally broke out.
It is very likely that our location was exposed due to the undead mage's exposure of the dimensional coordinates of the Vaglan continent, and about a month ago, countless unstable portals appeared on the Nexus Plains, where the Arcane Ring is located, and a large number of infernal creatures poured into our world, they were extremely vicious, and they invaded our homes and slaughtered our people for the purpose of destruction and enslavement.
The Magister Council organized teachers and students to clean up the Demon Plain, but it tasted a big defeat, and a large number of second- and third-year apprentices and teachers were killed in this defeat, and the strength of the academy was reduced by at least fifty percent.
An even more terrifying situation is that Mr. Alfred, the head of the Magister Council, suffered a heavy blow in the confrontation with the High Lord of Hell, lost all his strength, became an ordinary person, and is not out of danger yet, and is recuperating and healing.
The new Council Master has sought help from the Imperial Family of the Millennium Empire, and has received a response, and is preparing to build an ultra-long-distance teleportation magic circle, while all of our teachers and students are organized together to fight hard against the creatures of hell and buy time for assistance.
Originally, these situations were classified as high secrets and could not be divulged to you, but I estimate that this news can no longer be suppressed, especially since the academy has asked the royal family for help, and this news may soon spread among the upper echelons of the empire.
The purpose of telling you is that I need you to be prepared in advance, and since the Devils of Hell can appear in the Continent of the Nexus, they may appear anywhere in the Waglan Continent, and I don't want you to wait until you face this day to panic and be caught off guard.
Later, I will transmit to you the information of the hell creatures I have seen so far, read it carefully, study it well, and make targeted preparations, even if those creatures are cannon fodder of hell, they have at least level 15 strength, and in the secular world, it is a terrible nightmare!"
Charlie then displayed the Pioneer Knight's badge and continued: "I have been canonized by the Prince of Wales as a Pioneer Knight, which means that I have the right to form a regular army of no more than 3,000 men.
Now, I entrust you with the task of finding a group of Knights for me, whether mages or warriors, who can join us as long as they are loyal and willing to serve us, and of course, loyal veterans of the Silver Knights are welcome to join us.
Uncle Jim, don't worry, boldly form a team, the Welsh family should have already greeted the military headquarters of the Western Territory, and they will not embarrass you.
I hope you can move to Fort William, after all, this fortress has been carefully arranged by me, and I already have a certain garrison capacity, form a knight order at Fort Wilhelm, and build a good training base.
For site construction needs, you can consult with my housekeeper, Mr. Brian, and for financial needs, you can ask my treasurer, Miss Anna, for resources.
I know this request may have been too sudden, and the decision was too hasty, but I really didn't have that much time to explain the current situation, and after my monologue was over, I would release a mirror image of the magic that I captured, and you might be able to see the horrors of the creatures of hell. ”
