Volume 1 Burning Chapter 72 The Matter of Dispute
The "black magic element" that happened yesterday did not cause any turmoil in Vigrana City, but because the reputation of the Howard family is too strong, and after seeing all kinds of strange stories about the Howard family's magic, this "black magic element" seems very ordinary.
In the Howard family meeting hall, several people sat in two rows of seats, and the current Howard family, the patriarch of the family, Warren Brown, was in the house. His Excellency Lord Howard sat at the top of the hall, while Alberta stood in the middle of the hall with an unwilling expression.
"I don't accept it!"
Alberta's face was almost hideous, and he roared loudly, unable to suppress the anger in his heart, and his hands trembled violently.
This council was an emergency meeting after Alberta's display of the "black magic element" yesterday, and in addition to the elders who went out, all the family members were present, and there were some people in charge of the matter.
"Bastard!"
Warren S. Howard angrily scolded his son, who had been dissatisfied with what he had done since he was a child, and now he was getting more and more outrageous.
Warren was a burly man, with muscles and tendons like steel, a rarity among magicians, with blue eyes and an imperious look on his lips.
"Al, don't talk to your father like that!" said the middle-aged man who was a year old in the left row, he was the elder of the Howard family, he had always been very kind, and always gave people a kind feeling, and he was a little older than Alberta's father.
"Great Elder, you don't have to talk about these things! you want me to give up magic?
After throwing this sentence, Alberta turned and walked towards the gate!
Alberta, who had just walked to the door, only felt cold all over, and his body was frozen in an instant.
"El, do you know the dangers of this black magic element, don't be so stubborn, this black magic element is beyond your control, and it will only affect others!"
Warren S. As an ice magister, Howard doesn't need to chant at all, just one look, he can release the ice type of cryomy, and its power is much stronger than ordinary cryomy.
In yesterday's magic evaluation, when Alberta revealed the black magic element, Warren and several senior elders in the family noticed this magic element hidden in the dark world.
Legend has it that after the death of a spiritual creature, the corpse will produce a black element called "black spirit" and sink under the ground, and over time, some people actually find that they can communicate with the black element under the ground, just like a magician communicates with the magic element in nature.
In this way, the dark mage and the necromancer were born, and since the birth of these two professions, they have been ruthlessly suppressed by the Magician Guild and the Summoner Alliance, but it is worth mentioning that during the Tianchang Empire, Yuwen Feihua supported these two professions for a period of time, allowing them to develop rapidly, and after the fall of the Tianchang Empire and the disappearance of Yuwen Feihua, they were ruthlessly suppressed.
During the revision of the Continental Peace Agreement, the two professions were evaluated to determine whether they were suitable to continue to exist on the mainland, and of course, for the sake of fairness, there would also be representatives of dark mages and necromancers.
The dispute was long and complicated, and the scales tipped in favor as the dark mage and the necromancer shouted the slogan "All professions are equal, all races are equal".
What followed was a sentence that completely put it at rock bottom.
"The power of the elements of black magic can be taken from the dead as well as from the living. Dare to ask a few Excellencies, who can guarantee that human sacrifice will not be used?" asked the representative of the Howard family magicians.
At that time, the representatives of all parties involved were stunned, and the daunting word "human sacrifice" appeared in everyone's minds.
The representatives of the Dark Mage and the Necromantic Summoner were pale and lost! They couldn't turn over at all, and any profession would never be able to turn over if it was labeled like this.
After voting, the representatives of all parties decided that it was "inhumane" to define all professions that use black magic elements as "unsuitable occupations", and it is forbidden for anyone or any race on the continent to use such black magic elements, and if someone performs "human sacrifice" without authorization, they will be included in the hunt list.
For a while, the dark mages and necromancers disappeared, but there will always be some people who have mastered the "black spirit", who are reluctant to give up this abundant power, and are caught in an endless pursuit with the churches of all parties.
But all in all, the black magic element like the "black spirit" rarely appears on the bright side, and after so many years, few people can recognize it, but there is still no shortage of people in the Howard family who recognize this kind of black magic, and after yesterday's magic evaluation, an emergency temporary meeting was held, intending to block the power of this "black spirit", and it must not appear in the Howard family.
"How could I not control my power?" Alberta already knew the origin of this element of black magic, but in his heart he couldn't trust the orders of many Howard elders.
Give up the power at your fingertips?And it took a lot of hard work to get the magic power, but I don't know how much pain I fell into after losing the magic power, and this almost life-saving magic power made Alberta give up, which was simply impossible for Alberta.
"Come, take him down, imprison him, and let no one come near without my permission!"
Warren S. Howard exercised his decision as the patriarch, and this decision was also a little selfish, in order to protect his son.
But there will always be people who will see what is wrong, and the Howard family is not Warren Brown. Howard alone has the final say, and the patriarch is not the only one in this big family.
"Wait!"
A middle-aged man in a fiery red magic robe stood up from his seat, waved his right hand, and a stream of heat hit Alberta, Alberta's frozen body could move freely in an instant, and turned his head to look, the person who stood up was the fourth elder, and his son Bertlem Howard had the same eccentric personality, as bad as his son, Bertlym, and sharp-beaked monkey gills, of course, this is how Alberta described it in his own heart, but in the eyes of others, Bertlem is a perfect successor to the four elders-Charlie Brown. Howard's strengths as a great fire magician, such as: personable, often smiling, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
"Fourth Elder, are you not satisfied with my decision?"
Warren S. Howard asked, displeased.
Before Charlie Howard could reply, Alberta hurried towards the gate again, this time without even saying hello.
A wall of fire sealed the gate, and its burning flames did not have any effect on the wooden gate at all, Alberta casually took out a palm-sized magic crystal from the space ring, and threw it at the wall of fire with all his strength, just as imagined, the magic crystal was bounced back, fell to the ground, and shattered!
"What do you mean, Fourth Elder?" asked Alberta this time!
"No Respect!"
Charlie Howard waved a large flaming fireball at Alberta.
At the moment of approaching Alberta's body, a giant shield glowing with golden light formed in front of Alberta's body!
Bang!
With a loud sound, the magic element dissipated with a bang.
"Fourth Elder! this is the council chamber, and there is no room for unleashing magic here!"
One of the people in the right row stood up!
"Oh, my dear fifth brother, don't you even have the right to teach your nephew?" Charlie Howard asked rhetorically, with a look of displeasure.
This fifth brother is the fifth elder Joel Howard, a great magician of the light system, in his thirties, who has reached the bottleneck of the great magician, and if he understands the realm of the magister, he can be successfully promoted to the light magister.
"Shut up!"
A majestic voice echoed through the hall!
Warren S. Howard took out the temperament of a patriarch and watched as another "chaos" was about to be staged in the hall. Howard stopped it in time.
"This is the council chamber! No one is allowed to make a loud noise! Something to say in the open!" Warren S. Howard continued, his gaze fixed on the four elders.
This Charlie Howard has always had a good relationship with the Great Elder Byron Howard, and the Great Elder Byron Howard has complained about his vote above him to become the elder of the Howard family.
Charlie Howard's eyes wandered over where the Grand Elder was sitting, and the latter still looked like he didn't care. smiled at Charlie Howard and said, "Charlie, please say anything you want!"
After sorting out his thoughts, Charlie said, "The black magic element of the 'Black Spirit' is a very important matter! It can't be put on hold, if other people know that the Howard family is covering up this kind of thing, how can the Howard family explain it to all the magicians on the continent?" Charlie said righteously.
There was a moment of silence in the hall, and the other people in charge were talking in whispers, discussing the weight of the matter.
This matter itself is not an ordinary small matter, the original advocate of opposing the possession of the black magic element of "black spirit" is still the representative of the Howard family, and the Howard family Alberta actually has this black magic element, if it is covered, this allows people with a heart to use it again, it is undoubtedly a major crisis for the Howard family!
"Either completely seize the power of Aier and live like an ordinary person, or expel the Howard family!"
The words of the Fourth Elder Charlie broke the whispered conversation in the hall!
Fifth Elder Joel Howard was furious, pointed at Fourth Elder Charlie and asked loudly, "Charlie, what qualifications do you have to expel my Howard family children from the family?" Joel called him by his name, saying very hard, and also reminding Charlie of his identity, but he was just one of the many elders, and he could not represent the entire Howard family.
The fourth elder Charlie was not angry because of the words of the fifth elder Joel, but calmly confronted Warren J. Howard said, "Your Excellency, Patriarch, what do you say?"
