Chapter 199: The Truth Conference

......

"Sister Nana, he, is he really the president of the Magic Society?" Blake had a feeling that his idol image had been shattered.

"Hmm~" Liliana covered her face, really wanting to deny that she knew these two unserious old things. But at this moment, she could only bite the bullet and say, "That's right, this is the current president of the Magic Association." But don't look at him like this, he is only like this in front of old friends. It's usually very, upright. ”

Wu Hui touched his nose, and while he was speechless, he also had a feeling that it was really like this. He knew that Jimmy Gaunt's old friend was no ordinary person.

It's just that he didn't expect that his friend would still be president. It seems that this time the exchange to the heart of the earth is not a big problem.

Maybe I haven't seen each other for a long time, and the more the president and Jimmy Gaunt quarrel, the more fierce they become, as if no one else is around, exposing each other's secrets and scolding each other's shortcomings.

Looking at it like this, the relationship between the two seems to be "really good".

After a long time, the magician stopped arguing, "Okay, okay~ I'm too lazy to quarrel with you today, let's get down to business first." ”

"It's not because you ......," Jimmy muttered with a look of dismay, but he was quiet and didn't continue arguing with him.

The chairman who was floating in the air straightened his collar, instantly switched back to the original dignified and majestic, and said to Wu Hui and the others kindly: "The greeting just now doesn't count." Formally introduce myself, I'm Keith Wood, a friend of Jimmy's, and welcome to the Patrick Islands. As for whether it will be long, don't worry too much. ”

The other party's attitude was polite and polite, and Wu Hui and the others naturally did not sweep his face, so they politely returned the salute.

"Keith Wood?" Daniel felt that the name was a little familiar, and then remembered something, and his expression suddenly became respectful, "You are the 'Deep Blue Wings', Your Excellency Saint Caith Wood of the Water System? ”

"It's me. ”

Keith Wood nodded reservedly, and raised an eyebrow at Jimmy triumphantly. Look, children know me as soon as they hear the name, Lao Tzu is still very famous~

Jimmy snorted coldly, that's all you have to say~

Seeing this, Wu Hui quietly poked Daniel, "Deep blue wings, it sounds very bullish." ”

"That's right. Daniel sighed, "President Wood is very accomplished in the magical defense array. Twenty years ago, an unprecedented tsunami struck the waters off the Patrick Islands. ”

"At that time, there was no magic defense array here, and the strongest president of the Magicians Association was not on the island when he had something to do, and the entire archipelago was leaderless, those powerful magicians were okay, most of the middle and low-level magicians were not strong enough to escape and were unable to protect themselves, and they almost had a big accident. At a critical juncture, if it weren't for President Wood standing up despite the danger, leading his magicians to find and open the Ancient Magic Defense Array on the Patrick Islands, relying on the broken Great Array to survive the raging tsunami for two days, only to survive the time when the tsunami was at its most powerful and save those middle and low-level magicians. ”

"The current magical defense array on the archipelago was completed after that, and it is said that Woodwood contributed a lot. Daniel pointed to the top of his head and added quietly, "I heard that Mr. Wood almost ran out of magic several times at that time, and my magic teacher was also quite impressed when he mentioned him, and bluntly said that he and Deep Blue Wings didn't know how much. ”

"I see. ”

Wu Hui was stunned.

He really didn't see that this President Keith Wood still had such a side. However, human nature is inherently complex, and no one will write their nature on their faces, so it's not surprising that they can't see it.

"Recently, there have been a lot of people coming to the island, and there are no more large parking spaces on the island for entertaining guests. Jimmy, you're such a big mage tower, even if you follow the mage over, you can't find a place to stop. ”

Keith Wood didn't seem to know that the two of them were muttering about him, and after a few glances with Jimmy, he got down to business: "Fortunately, the Guild has reserved a place for the Honorary Member's Mage Tower, which is much better than the berth in the port. I'll take you there~"

As he spoke, he flapped his white wings and flew into the window, and began to show the way to a few people.

"Doesn't the Wizards' Guild's harbor claim to be able to hold a hundred ships, and there's no place for it?" Jimmy habitually scolded him, "Isn't it because you're spreading false news?"

However, he said that his actions were not ambiguous at all, and he controlled the archmage tower and flew in the direction he pointed. With Wood there, the Patrick Islands' magical defense array was no longer on alert and slowly disappeared into the sky.

"What do you know? A hundred ships are long gone, and the current port can not be parked with a hundred ships, not to mention a hundred ships! If it weren't for the fact that there were too many ships in the past two days, where would there be no place?"

Keith Wood gave Jimmy a quick glance as he pointed the way, and his tone was as disgusted as ever.

The two of them fought back and forth lively, but they cooperated tacitly, as if they didn't need to communicate verbally.

It can be said that the words and actions of the two are completely two styles.

"Is this okay?" Blake was dumbfounded, "Is their relationship good or bad?"

"Probably...... Forget it~"

Wu Hui also didn't know what to say. Jimmy is probably really toxic, and I feel that as long as he has a good relationship with him, it doesn't seem normal not to scold him. Even he himself often had the urge to scold him.

Seeing that the two of them were arguing and arguing, Wu Hui and the others gradually lost interest and got together to discuss the situation in the Patrick Islands.

By the way, Daniel also told a few people about the history of Patrick Island.

The history of the Patrick Islands goes all the way back to antiquity, when the last magic tides were reached.

In the beginning, it was just a meeting place for a few well-connected magicians, but it gradually turned into a magic bazaar. Over time, many magicians gradually chose to settle here, and it gradually evolved into the current pattern.

The headquarters of the Wizards' Guild was not originally here, but had been relocated over the last few thousand years. Previously, due to the strong suppression of the Holy See of Light, although the Patrick Islands were famous, there were not many people, that is, in recent decades, the God of Light has been declining, and the number of people learning magic has gradually increased, and the Patrick Islands have gradually had their current prosperity.

As he spoke, the Archmage's Tower, led by President Wood, landed on an island near the center. The mouth cannon between Master Wood and Jimmy also came to an end for the time being, and began to introduce everyone to the situation in the Patrick Islands and related precautions.

"In the past ten years, there have been several vicious incidents on the island, and the management is stricter than before. All of you except Jimmy are here for the first time, and you need to register your identity at the office and get your ID badge before you can move freely. I'll take you to get your ID card first. ”

Before leaving the Mage Tower, President Wood used his magic to imprint everyone, solemnly reminding everyone: "With this imprint, even if you are my guests, you will not be attacked by the magic array." But you can't get too far away from me, or you'll set off the alarm. ”

The consequences of triggering an alarm, they have just experienced.

Several people, including Wu Hui, nodded in unison, indicating that they would definitely not run around.

Jimmy opened the door to the Archmage Tower, and the accompanying Herus warriors were led by the members of the Wizards' Guild who had been notified to go to the office in batches, while Wu Hui and the others followed President Wood out.

Just two steps away, Wu Hui suddenly remembered something: "Wait, we still have one person." ”

"What's ......" Blake was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said, "Yes, yes, yes, there's another one." How did I forget about her......"

was reminded by Wu Huiyi, and everyone immediately reacted.

Dehiva was devastated after the last incident, and her personality became a lot duller. For the past two days, she has been living in seclusion, and has not participated in their entertainment, so much so that they have almost forgotten that there is such a high kraken in the mage tower.

Liliana immediately went to the guest room and brought Daishiva out.

The betrayal of the same clan seemed to make the little princess of the Siren clan lose her last hope, and even if she was pulled into the hall by Liliana, there was no expression on her immature face, and she was silent about what to do.

The dark green eyes that should have been as clear and beautiful as gems were dim and full of confusion.

High Kraken?

Seeing Deshvana's trademark gill wings and long blue hair, Wood lifted his eyebrows in surprise and turned his head to ask Jimmy what was going on.

Jimmy briefly told him about the cause and effect, and President Wood sighed. Although he doesn't like the Kraken clan very much, he can't harden his heart against a little girl with a bleak background.

He reminded: "The Patrick Islands and the Kraken clan are adjacent to each other, and there is often friction, and the magicians on the island are not very friendly to the Kraken clan, and some extremists may even take the initiative to stir up trouble. If the little girl wants to go out, it is better to disguise herself a little in order to avoid trouble. ”

When they heard this, they thought it made sense, and found a cloak for Daishiva to hide their aura and put it on, and then followed Master Wood out of the Archmage Tower.

The Grand Mage's Tower stopped halfway up the mountain, and a few people walked down the stone steps, walking for about a quarter of an hour to reach the bottom of the mountain.

"Huh, how is there a magic circle here?" Blake looked ahead suspiciously.

I saw that in the shade of the trees in front of me, there was a hazy light curtain, which was clearly the trace of the magic array.

"Outside is the magic market, this is a soundproof magic array, in order to avoid the sound in the market disturbing the members of the association to rest. Wood explained.

As he spoke, several people had already passed through the light curtain.

In an instant, the hustle and bustle of people came to the face.

Fluttering colored satin, glittering signs, huge banners floating in the air, magic flying barrels that keep spitting small advertisements like spinning tops, and a stream of people...... What appeared in front of them was a bustling and lively commercial street!

Obviously, there is only one magic array, but there are completely two worlds inside and outside.

"Huh, here'......"

Blake's eyes widened in surprise.

The other people's expressions were also surprised.

Wu Hui didn't have much expectations for the Patrick Islands, and he couldn't help but be surprised at this moment.

Who would have thought that when viewed from the sky, it looks exactly like an ordinary forest under the canopy? Moreover, the commercial street in front of you is full of traces of magic, and it looks like a surreal science fiction feeling.

As soon as he glanced over, he saw a number of shops selling alchemy items, but alchemy items that were difficult to buy outside seemed to be ordinary things here, and they could be seen everywhere. Shops selling alchemy materials, magic robes, and Warcraft materials abound, and the things on the shelves are varied and varied, and the quality is obviously one level higher than that outside.

This place...... Definitely an alchemist's paradise.

Moreover, compared to the rare occurrence of magicians outside, mages can be found everywhere on the streets here, and mid-level mages are not uncommon, and occasionally mages on flying carpets or flying skateboards can be seen flying through the air.

It's no wonder that the Patrick Islands are known as a mecca for magicians, and it lives up to its name.

"Across the street is the office. Follow me. President Wood led the way and led the crowd into the crowd.

Along the way, there were people who recognized Wood bowing his head and saluting.

Wu Hui and the others, who followed behind Wood, were also forced to bear the attention all the way, and vaguely, they could still hear someone talking curiously about their identities.

Wu Hui and the others finally had a clear understanding of President Wood's position in the Patrick Islands.

"Huh......? Could it be a dwarf?"

Blake's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed in a certain direction and motioned for Wu Hui to hurry up.

In the direction of his finger, several "kids" who were only as tall as their thighs were staggering forward. But the strange thing is that these children not only look mature, but even have beards on their faces, which clearly look like adults.

"What a dwarf. ”

Wu Hui was also a little surprised.

As far as he knew, gnomes were already quite rare on the mainland, but he didn't expect to see them here.

With this discovery, Wu Hui took a closer look at the crowd on the commercial street, and really found a lot of non-human races, including dwarves who are good at forging, dwarves who are good at making mechanisms, sand sacrificers who use flames as totems, and even found an elf wearing a cloak!

After such a long time, it was really the first time that Wu Hui had seen so many races at one time.

It seems that this Patrick Islands is really not simple.

Wu Hui was thoughtful.

"Why are there so many people?" Jimmy felt uncomfortable walking through the surging crowd and couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows.

"The 'Truth Conference' is about to begin, and of course there are many people. Wood glanced at him, "Every bi-monthly summer festival, the Patrick Islands host a 'Truth Fair' to give young magicians from all over the world a chance to prove themselves. You and I also participated in it back then, you shouldn't forget it, right?"

"The Truth Conference...... No wonder. ”

That's when Jimmy reacted.

"What is the 'Truth Conference'?" Blake asked Daniel beside him habitually as he looked around curiously, hearing the new term.

"The Truth Conference is a once-in-a-decade gathering of magicians. Daniel lived up to expectations and immediately gave an explanation.

The geographical environment of the Patrick Islands is special, because of the refraction of light, once every ten years, there will be two moons in the sky on a summer night, and this year is also known as the "year of two moons".

The Truth Conference is held in a bi-monthly year.

Only young magicians under the age of thirty are allowed to participate, and it is the best stage for young magicians to prove their strength. Over the years, all those who can enter the finals of the Truth Conference are amazing magical geniuses, so the Truth Conference is also nicknamed "the show of genius magicians".

"I see. Blake was stunned, and then a new doubt arose, "That's not right~ The grand event of magicians, why are other professions also coming?"

He thought it was strange that although there were many magicians on the road, there were obviously many other professions.

"Young people, the purpose of the Truth Conference is to explore the temple of truth. And truth knows no race, gender, and more. "I've heard that the Wizards' Guild now advocates equality before the truth, and even if it's a pirate warrior, if he wants to find the truth, the Wizarding Guild will welcome him to compete." ”

After a pause, he added: "There are so many aliens on the island, and it's also because of this. Because it is only during the Truth Conference that young people of many races will come to participate in the competition, and perhaps they will be able to make a name for themselves. Of course, it is we humans who are still the largest number of people. ”

"So, we're really in time. Not only can you see the magician's game, but you can also see so many aliens. Blake's eyes lit up with obvious excitement in his eyes.

Although Daniel was very calm, he was only a teenager after all, and there was a rare curiosity and eagerness in his eyes.

On the contrary, Wu Hui, who was relatively lacking in common sense, reacted much more calmly than them after knowing this.

Competitive competitions like the Truth Conference abound on the Internet, and he was tired of watching it, so how could he be excited? If he wanted to participate in it himself, he might pay more attention to it, but if he was just watching the excitement, he really didn't have much interest.

He came here for the "Heart of the Earth" this time, and now he just wants to hurry through the process to get the "Heart of the Earth", so that he can return to the Kingdom of God to repair his Godhead.

In the past few days, due to the limitations of the divine personality, the number of his believers has hardly moved, and a small number of shallow believers have become devout believers, which is completely incomparable with before.

This made Wu Hui, who was accustomed to believers constantly rising, uncomfortable.

As for the divine power lost invisibly, he didn't want to speculate and calculate. It hurts when you count it......

As they spoke, the group had already been led by Wood through the block to the office behind the block.

The office is also in the shape of a mage tower, but it has only three floors, and it is obviously not a serious mage tower.

With President Wood personally leading and Jimmy, the face of the alchemist, the magicians in the office naturally did not dare to slack off, and after verifying everyone's identity, they quickly gave everyone a temporary identity card.

The whole process took less than a quarter of an hour, faster than they could move through the block.

The temporary badge in hand is a dark blue metal badge.

As long as you put your ID card on your body or in your storage ring, you can move freely in the open area without being attacked by the island's magic array.

With this ID card, the few people no longer have to follow President Wood closely, and they can finally move freely in the Patrick Islands.
