Chapter 64: The Fire Eagle (I)

What happened, how did the light of the Guardian Orb become like this?

Many people were curious to open the window, and for the residents of Hajar City who lived all year round, it seemed that they had never seen the Guardian Orb conjure like this in more than ten years.

The students of the academy walked out of the classroom one after another to watch this incredible scene.

"Why is the Guardian Orb changing like this, Mentor. They asked their mentors.

Perhaps even the Mentor himself has never seen the changes in the real Guardian Orb, and the Guardian Orb of the City represents the state of the city, and can also be seen as a sign of the safety of the city.

Once there is a change, it means that the city is in danger.

On the platform of the Wizards' Guild's tower, Merlin looked at the mountain peaks in the distance and closed his eyes, perhaps not even expecting that things would develop to this point.

Behind him, magicians kept running up, because many magicians who had nothing to do on rainy days were still sleeping at home, and they didn't have time to tidy up their clothes when they were summoned in a hurry, and their hair was messy and they didn't have time to wash it.

They all looked at Merlin's back standing alone and didn't dare to speak, most people still heard of the temper of this great mage, as long as he didn't take the initiative to talk to you, it was best not to talk too much.

"Have all the people in the cathedral been informed?" Merlin asked without looking back, turning to the man behind him.

The magicians glanced at each other, and finally an elderly mage stood up and answered.

"Great Teacher, we have notified everywhere according to your instructions, but because of the rain...... Uh...... "The old mage didn't know how to answer, on weekdays, the priests of the cathedral didn't have to obey the orders of the Magician Association, these two organizations would be found in almost all human kingdoms, and they were more like checks and balances between them, and neither side wanted to see each other.

"Whatever they want, if you don't want to come, they'll come later. Merlin said in a deep voice.

Hajar City is different from some other cities, the most famous in the Asta Empire are magicians, and most of them are from the northwest region, Hajar is of course the most magician as a big city in the west, so the overall strength of the cathedral here is not as good as the people of the Magician Association, which leads to conflicts between the two originally equal organizations.

"What about the Palatinate Lord?" he continued.

"We have informed the Palatinate Lord that he is on his way here, and that the Head of Edmund is also here. ”

"Well, his grandson is also on this mission, and of course he is anxious. Merlin nodded, as if he had already guessed that the other party would come.

The light of the Guardian Orb flickered even more violently, like a signal that reminded the magicians present all the time.

As high-ranking members of the Wizards' Guild, of course they knew that this signal represented danger, but what kind of danger could make Grand Mentor Merlin gather all the high-level mages in the city!

"What the hell happened to the Great Teacher, why did the Guardian Orb shine like that. There were still some mages who couldn't help but ask.

Merlin turned around and looked at everyone, his eyes swept over everyone, and the other person unconsciously lowered his head.

"I'll explain this to the city lord later...... I'll tell you about it now, everyone knows that Hajar City was originally a mining city. When they heard him speak, they raised their heads anew.

This matter is not a secret in Hajar City, but ordinary people do not like to study history, in the previous life of this city, even before the Asta Empire was established, this city already existed, the western part of the continent is located in a desolate barren land and there are many small countries, the reason for the establishment of a city in this place is that it was originally a chalcopyrite and iron ore production area, and there is even a claim that a large number of gold mines have been discovered, but it has been too long and no one has researched it.

"We know about this, does it have anything to do with it?"

Merlin nodded, looking out the window at the unusual rain.

"I searched this history a long time ago and discovered a melting pot buried in the surrounding mountains. ”

"The melting pot!!" the magicians said in amazement.

The melting pot is usually found only in the east, in the distant Iron Hills, where the dwarves are known as the Land of the Mountains.

"I'm afraid that no one has discovered the sealed melting pot for thousands of years, and I didn't dare to explore it at the time...... Because it's been too old, I'm afraid that some elemental lifeforms will breed. "The so-called elemental life form is a life form with independent consciousness formed over many years in nature.

Well, Merlin was silent for a moment.

It had always been speculation before, but this time he vaguely felt that he was right.

"We're going to hurry every minute, all of you go to the north and fortify the defenses with magic, and if you can, seal off the entire northern mountain. Merlin commanded, so far he was not completely sure, but always be prepared, if there were really elemental lifeforms and then it would be even more difficult to defend, the city has hundreds of thousands of inhabitants.

He looked at the mountains to the north, where red clouds seemed to faintly appear.

Andaniel, what the hell is going on over there?!!

..........................................

The flames burned almost the entire sky, and the moisture in the clouds slanted down.

It's hot, almost boiling water.

The drops on Wang Chu's body were even hotter than the fire demon body he had just gnawed.

"The cumulus clouds have been evaporated, and it turns out that this is the reason for the rain that has been falling in the city for many days. Andaniel said loudly, maneuvering the griffon's direction.

At the moment, there are not many griffin knights left who can keep up with him, hundreds of griffin knights have come here, but I didn't expect that there is only so little left, how to explain to the great mentor this time.

He looked around at some of the students, apparently still alive.

It's good news, but the sacrifices are all low-level soldiers and adventurers.

"Lias, hold on to me, we're going to pick up speed. ”

The hot raindrops were uncomfortable on everyone's heads, and Lias finally tugged at Andaniel's mage robes. She looked around at several of the students who were still there, but they seemed to be injured, and what he didn't expect was that the paladin Al was half-leaning on the back of the griffin knight at this time, and his face was red and seemed to be injured.

"Cam, what are you looking at?"

Wang Chu kept his back to her and looked behind.

The lava that rushed over like a tsunami caused a fierce flame that was almost as high as white rice, and everywhere it went, it was melted close to the red rock, the trees and mountains were like they were on fire, and the hot temperature could be felt even by Wang Chu at a higher place.

Is this going to be a thing that has to go all the way to the city? He stepped down from Lias's shoulder, and the other man moved to turn around, but it was not easy to move in the air at a rapid pace.

The white feathers of the griffins under their feet are hot.

He took a deep breath, as a druid he could understand the language of a griffin, and it was nothing more than running and being burned to death.

"We're almost there, Lias, look at the city...... The city is ahead. Andaniel said happily, but when he turned to the rear, his whole heart was completely cold.

I'm afraid I've already flown hundreds of miles, why is this lava still following?

As far as the eye can see, there is only a sea of fire left in the place where it passes.
