Chapter 54: The Wizards' Gathering Begins
Time passed minute by minute, and the time of four days can be regarded as fleeting.
Over the course of four days, the ape told Al a lot about the Wizards' Gathering.
And in the past four days, many people have come to the Torch Forest one after another, waiting for the wizards' assembly to begin.
Among them, there is Selena, who is known as a succubus, and the two bone hands who are united with her.
Naturally, the two of them also saw the newly joined El under the pseudonym Magician.
However, the two of them are from the Hellfire line, one of the four founders.
And Hellfire and the apes don't have a very good relationship, so they don't say anything to Eldor.
Of course, this is also convenient for Al, and the possibility of him being recognized is infinitely reduced.
You know, in a wizarding gathering, the greatest danger is to be recognized for your true identity.
In that case, the level of danger is undoubtedly greatly increased.
After all, the status of a wizard's apprentice is not visible in the Holy Sword Empire.
Once it is exposed, neither the official nor the church will let it go easily.
In that case, there is basically no other end except death.
You know, the black prison of the Church of the Lord of Radiance is not accessible to everyone.
At the very least, it is possible to complete it if you are at the level of a full-fledged wizard and have made great achievements.
Of course, in the eyes of wizards, it is better to enter the black prison than to die.
The time was getting closer to the time of the wizards' assembly, and the members were gradually arriving.
Among them, the three wizard apprentices that the ape had previously recommended to Al also arrived, as well as the boulder, the bird, and the queen worm.
Seeing the three of them coming, the ape signaled directly and summoned the three of them over.
briefly explained to the three of them, and sure enough, the three of them also agreed to join.
In the Holy Sword Empire, the resources available to wizard apprentices can be said to be very few.
An opportunity like this to explore an ancient wizard's laboratory was in front of them, and how could anyone give it up.
Not to mention that if you want to join forces to kill one Bloodline Knight, even if you are against two or three Bloodline Knights, there is no problem.
I have to say that the apes still know a lot about the boulder, the bird, and the queen of insects.
As he said, these three men have ambitions, but they also have certain principles.
At least not the kind of person who turns his face and doesn't recognize people, and the three of them also showed a lot of kindness to Al.
At midnight, with the arrival of the wizard apprentice with the clown mask of the batwing, the wizard assembly was completely assembled.
At this time, the founders of the four Wizards' Guilds walked together in front of everyone, and the iceberg in the middle was the first to speak.
The face of the iceberg is covered with an ice and snow mask, and the mask is the appearance of a middle-aged man, which looks quite majestic.
On his body, he was wearing a blue-white cloak with a faint flash of spiritual light, which was obviously not ordinary.
With a light cough, the iceberg's icy voice, just like its name, slowly sounded.
"This month's gathering was attended by sixteen people, including two new wizard apprentices.
As for the others, they were absent from this wizarding meeting for various reasons.
This time is no different from before, everyone exchanges information with each other and exchanges knowledge for a fee.
As for the trading of their respective exchange of goods and resources, it will also be held as usual, so let's go to the meeting place this time first.
The ape is also invited to lead everyone there, and as the preparer of this meeting place, the ape will enjoy a 10% discount. ”
As the words fell, Iceberg looked at the ape and nodded slightly as a gesture.
Seeing this, the ape also nodded at the iceberg, then nodded to the batwing and then the hellfire, and turned around and walked towards the forest.
Led by the ape, the group came to a huge tree.
This big tree is as thick as five or six people around, so it can be said that it is huge and unfriendly.
The ape walked up to the tree, put his right palm on the trunk, and recited a mantra in his mouth.
Suddenly, above the trunk of the tree, a ring-inlaid emerald green witch array emerged.
Immediately after, these emerald green witch arrays emitted light, causing the trunks of the trees to vibrate continuously.
As the trunk shook, a crack appeared in the trunk and slowly opened to both sides.
In the blink of an eye, a huge door appeared on the huge trunk of a tree, and there were runes on the trunk to illuminate it.
The door to the trunk opened, and the ape whispered a word directly to the fist-sized little monkey on his shoulder.
I saw that the little monkey nodded slightly and jumped directly off the ape's shoulder.
In the process of jumping, the little monkey gradually grew in size and disappeared from its form, and soon disappeared.
At this point, the ape turned around, looked at the crowd, and said, "This is the entrance to the meeting place.
As for safety, I've sent my pets to guard the vicinity, and I'll be the first to know if anything changes. ”
With that, the ape took the lead and walked straight through the entrance to the trunk.
Then follow the wooden staircase inside the entrance to the trunk and head underground.
Wait until the iceberg, batwing, and hellfire have walked down the wooden stairs one after another.
The others followed into the massive trunk and down the wooden staircase to the place of the meeting.
Al walked behind the comparator, following the three boulders.
Behind Al was another newcomer who had followed Batwing here.
It's the wizard apprentice who wears a clown mask and is also called a clown.
Walking behind Al, the Joker twitched his nose slightly, and looked at Al's face with a sudden smile.
Immediately, he stepped forward, patted Al lightly on the shoulder, and whispered, "You are called a magician?"
It's a coincidence, I'm called a clown, and we're both from the circus. ”
Listening to the clown's words, Al was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "The names of the two of us are indeed somewhat related." ”
The corners of the clown's mouth under the clown mask rose slightly, and he said softly: "That's right, the two of us have some relationship."
And...... The relationship is not just in the name, but also in other aspects. ”
In the second half of this sentence, the clown's voice is faintly visible and can hardly be heard.
Although Al was right in front of the Joker, he didn't hear the Joker clearly.
There are not a few wizards who have mental problems.
In Al's opinion, the Joker is the more neurotic one.
So for the Joker's muttering behavior behind him, although Al was a little helpless, he didn't care much.
There are many layers of wooden stairs, but there is an end to them.
The crowd walked for four or five minutes, and finally reached the meeting place on the ground floor.
Al looked at the huge wooden space below, and knew that it must have been the work of an ape.
In the middle of this huge underground space is a huge round table.
Around the round table, more than 20 wooden seats are placed.
Come to think of it, this was made by the ape who first counted the number of people in the wizard assembly.
At this time, the ape also glanced at the chairs around the round table and said with a smile: "Do more in advance, let's sit casually." ”
As he spoke, the ape found a chair and sat down on his own.
Seeing this, everyone also found chairs and sat down, waiting for the official start of this rally.
Al and Boulder sat around the ape.
However, to Al's surprise, the clown, who was just as new as him, was also sitting next to him.
Seeing Al looking over, the clown said directly, "It's all newcomers, so it's better to sit together." ”
Listening to the Joker's words, Al nodded and said no more.
At this time, the iceberg stood up again, and the cold voice sounded again.
"Alright, this wizard gathering is now open, first of all, everyone can exchange information. ”
After speaking, the iceberg sat down and said no more.
At this time, a female wizard apprentice sitting on the left side of the iceberg said directly: "The recent actions of the church are abnormal.
It is said that he is hunting down an official wizard, but it seems to have been unsuccessful, as the church is still in an anomaly.
Therefore, in the near future, everyone should be cautious, maybe at some point, they will meet the masters of the church. ”
As soon as the female wizard finished speaking, the bone hand sitting on the side suddenly spoke.
"If that's the case, I think there's something I should say about it.
Recently, in the nearby Far Mountain Castle, the masters of the church used to fight with people in the old town of Far Mountain City.
I watched from afar the power of the master's move of the church, who must be a pastor above the bishop level.
Therefore, it is better for everyone to stay away from Far Mountain City recently, and it is difficult to ensure that the bishop-level master is hiding in Far Mountain City. ”
Hearing Bone Hand's words, El's eyes lit up slightly, because he knew very well what Bone Hand was saying.
On that day, Al was also in Far Mountain City, and witnessed the unprecedented pomp and circumstance at Leo's house.
Al also felt a deep fear of the power created by the bishopric-level masters of the church.
This is also the reason why he left Yuanshan City immediately after the exam.
After all, it was because I didn't know the bottom in my heart, so I left as soon as possible.
In this way, everyone is constantly exchanging some of the more important but worthless information they have obtained.
Of course, there is also valuable information in it.
But the intelligence provider will only say the general situation of the information and the remuneration required.
If someone is interested in the information, they will make a deal with the provider privately.
The trade and exchange of information ended with the silence of the crowd.
The ensuing buying and selling transactions are the real purpose of every wizard gathering, and everyone comes from all over the world.
When the iceberg announced the start of the sale, almost everyone became eager to try it.
One of the four founders, Bat Wing, was the first to speak, "I need a potion or medicinal herb for mental power recovery.
If someone asks me to trade, I can pay 1 to 20 percent more. ”
