Chapter XVI
The operation of Igbre will not change with the addition of Gustav, and the whole college will continue to operate at its own pace, in accordance with the established guidelines of the school's academic council.
The Liaison Officer hadn't been to Adrian in a while since the last time he brought Rhettfar's request.
Serious, old-fashioned, murderous eyes, and a cold temper, Adrian is a man who never likables.
However, the poor liaison officer had to face Adrian again today: every Monday, the liaison officer had to ask Adrian's opinion, and then respond to the next level of arcane agency, based on what he had seen and heard.
People like Adrian are powerful spellcasters, with the ability to use mind links and manipulate items. However, most of them didn't care much about the routine responses, and needed constant urging from Igbre's liaison officers.
Igobray's teaching had not yet begun, it was early Monday morning, and the liaison officer had arrived an hour and a half early.
"Professor Adrian, can I take up a little bit of your time before today's lesson?"
The door opened on its own.
Adrian must have just finished meditating, and there was a very strong elemental field around him. Getting closer, the Liaison Officer's skin could feel some burning, which made him even more nervous.
Signature scrutinizing eyes, stiff stubble, three-dimensional and deep facial features...... Adrian looked the same as always.
"Professor, today is the time to contact the Academic Council of the Second Ruling District, and at the same time, a mobilization order has been issued from the War Coordination Committee of the Second Ruling District. "This is the mobilization order that was delivered to Igbre this morning, and the liaison officer has been carrying it in his arms.
Adrian stretched out his right hand, took a single lens from the chest pocket of his left hand, and placed it in front of his right eye.
Mobilization orders are made of special paper, and in the Arcane Second Republic, different levels of orders need to be carried in very different types of magical paper. If it's a mobilization order from the War Coordination Council, then at least four verification spells need to be sequence-tested.
There are intricate arcane patterns on the magic paper, like water waves, showing fluid, malleable properties. On the mobilization order, there is the fire seal of the war coordination committee.
"I'll leave for a moment until you untie the fire seal. The liaison officer walked out as ordered.
And Adrian looked at the mobilization order in his hand and frowned.
............
Mobilization orders, for students like Igobre, often mean a re-squeeze on teaching resources.
Perhaps another deterioration in relations with the Church of Alette will lead to war in this plane. At that time, before the reinforcements from the main plane of the Arcane Second Republic arrived, I am afraid that they could only rely on the local forces to defend it.
The main person in charge of the second administrative district is the chief grand arcanist of the Supreme Council, the former sixth consul of the Arcane Second Republic, Bruno, who should have been able to deter the forces behind the Arete Cult with his influence. However, with the awakening of the Faceless Lord in the Void, the Second Administrative Region, the Fourth Administrative District, and several of the current High Council Lords have been urgently transferred to the plane near the edge of the Void to garrison.
Because of the awakening of the Void Lord, the Void interferes with the plane connection, and except for the legends of the Plane Prophet class, it is no longer possible to easily carry out plane teleportation. In fact, in the face of figures like the Faceless King, the Void Maharaja, the profession of Plane Prophet is the last resort to save one's life. Therefore, the Excellency of the Plane Prophets in the Republic is also within the scope of the call for the deployment of the Void Frontier Defense. For the Arcanists in the Second Borough, now is the time to be on their own.
I wonder if Miss Fryer, the Dragon of Life and Passion, will pay attention to the situation here this time? Freire is a very ancient and great creature, and in fact, her altar itself has a variety of functions, including teleportation. After the fluctuations of the void interfered with the crystal wall of the plane, many of the personnel from other planes in Igbre's current students reached Redfarr through the Red Dragon Altar.
It's just that even the factions within the Elder Dragons are intricate, and it is impossible for Freier to focus too much energy on this place. Faced with the threat of the Dark Dragon System and the Chaos Dragon Line, the powerful ones she had to put their main divine power on the Ancient Battlefield.
"Come in. At this time, Adrian's voice came from inside. Taking a deep breath, the liaison officer gathered his mood and pushed the door open again.
"Professor Adrian," the tone turned normal, and the liaison officer asked cautiously, "Is there anything new in this mobilization order?"
If the fire mark on the mobilization order is lifted according to a specific sequence, the contents of it are no longer secret.
"In some places between us and the Arlett Church, there seems to be a need for more manpower. Adrian tapped his right hand on the table, making a sound. "For now, we need to draw some Arcanists above level 7 from our side. Moreover, depending on the severity of the mobilization order, it is very likely to enter a wartime call-up state. ”
The liaison officer's heart unconsciously quickened a few beats.
Wartime Recruit status, which means that the number of available personnel will be expanded from level 7 to level 5. For Igbre, if an ordinary student can successfully graduate, he often has the strength of level 5. This means that perhaps the entire academy's Arcane Second Republic will be drawn to the front line at that time.
"Professor, is there anything going on in the Void? Can Lord Bruno return from the Void Lord's defense ahead of schedule, or can one or two of the Grand Arcanists of the High Council, or the former Archons, come and suppress the situation?" asked the liaison officer dryly.
"If Lord Bruno is able to return, it will be the best of the best. Adrian picked up the mobilization order in his right hand, and then a flame spread upward, and the mobilization order turned gray in the firelight, turning into flying dust. However, this is clearly impossible. On the abyss side, there is the Gustan Dynasty as a forward, so you can not worry about it for the time being, and in addition to the void, there is also the hell side that needs to be guarded, which requires at least five or more Arcanists at the level of the Supreme Council members to be specially guarded. The Magical God Department is also currently in action, and the Archons must pay attention to it personally. ”
Adrian's words were still cold and calm, which would have made the liaison officer fidgety if it were normal, but there was a relaxing power to do so at this time.
"Since the fall of the Magic Empire, the Arcane system has gone through the Arcane Empire, the Arcane First Republic, and then to our Arcane Second Republic, and it has been dozens of generations of time and precipitation. There was pride in Adrian's tone. "Although it is a bit arrogant to say this, I have always believed that the brilliance of the arcane, the autonomy of the personality, and the dialectic of the mind are the guarantee that our arcane system can rise and leave all the gods behind. Even if there are some difficulties at present, they are only a detour in the tortuous path of history. ”
Perhaps it was Adrian's words that reminded the liaison officer of the history of the changes in the three major forms of government of the arcane system that he had learned before, and the iron and blood in them stimulated his mood.
"Professor Adrian, you're right, maybe I'm too timid. ”
The liaison officer's worries have not been completely relieved, but now the gloom in his heart has dispersed a lot.
"I remember last week, at the request of Joseph on the side of Redfar, a new cadet came in. Adrian felt that the atmosphere was too solemn, and he deliberately changed the topic to alleviate it, who usually didn't care much about these details. "Gustav...... Odinson, how is he?"
