Chapter 219: The Magicians' Guild
If you replace this lavishly decorated hall on the top floor of the Magic Tower with a street-side tavern, and the best magic robes on their bodies are replaced by ordinary robes, then no one will recognize that these seven old men and old ladies who seem to be trembling even when they walk are actually the seven oldest councilors and speakers of the Magic Guild Council.

"Tell me what you think! All the councillors who could make it to the meeting are here, and the young ones like Perion, who are either exploring ancient ruins or conducting crucial magical experiments, are sure not to attend. Speaker Sauron spoke.
As for the young guys in his mouth, they are all a few legendary powerhouses who are over fifty or sixty years old, so it can be seen that the age of this council elder is at least 100 years old.
As soon as Soren's words fell, the only woman present spoke, this was an old lady with a face full of wrinkles, high raised cheekbones on her cheeks, and thin lips giving people an extremely mean feeling, and what was even more uncomfortable was that such an old face actually had a heavy foundation and blood-red lip gloss.
This is the famous legendary warlock Deboraya, an old lady who is more than a hundred years old, but loves young fresh meat, she opened her mouth with few teeth and said: "Obviously, such a large number of magical armor and space rings from a small duke of the Orc Empire show that they must have an abundant supply of magic materials, and it is likely that it is the underground world that we have given up. ”
"That's how it should be, Ms. Deboraya's analysis. Qi Lun, the legendary fire mage in charge of intelligence gathering, nodded and took over the words.
He pointed to the magic pattern on the magic armor and said: "According to the information we found out in the palace of the Roland Empire, this remote territory called the Iron Collar has a group of elven mages, and they should have preserved a lot of magic manufacturing technology of the Elven Empire, and the style of the elves on these equipment is also obvious. ”
"In addition, according to the records of the sale of magic materials in our branches, they didn't have any new purchase records as early as a few months ago, except for the underground world where these materials are abundant, it is almost impossible to obtain such a large amount from other places, could it be that these orcs have reopened the passage and repaired the Tower of Babel that connects to the underground world. With that, he looked at Speaker Sauron with a puzzled look.
Looking at the puzzled glances cast by the other six people, Sauron, the only legendary master of the space system in the world, waved the wand in his hand, and in a few breaths, several isolation magic arrays were placed in succession, reinforcing the originally well-protected hall without the slightest possibility of being eavesdropped.
Then he spoke: "You know a little bit about the things in the underworld thousands of years ago, and now I will tell you in detail, after all, as important members of the council, you are all qualified to know this. ”
"Since the discovery of the underworld by explorers more than 2,000 years ago, our guild has also monopolized all the trade in magical materials while guarding their only access to the underworld, and we have exchanged various living materials such as food for various materials they have mined, until a thousand years ago. ”
After taking a sip of tea brewed with the best oriental vegetable leaves, which are hundreds of times more expensive than the equivalent of gold, Sauron continued: "At that time, the three major races of the underground world had become the climate, and they were no longer satisfied with trading with us, but ridiculously wanted to return to the surface world, and they also carried out a sneak attack on our troops stationed in the passage. ”
"Although they didn't succeed, but the battle between the two sides that combined with more than twenty legendary powerhouses and hundreds of thousands of troops, completely destroyed the Tower of Babel, in order to completely cut off the delusion of the three major races in the underworld, the council at that time simply completely destroyed the only passage, for more than a thousand years, the magic materials we sold were all stored in the previous transaction, and now the inventory is running out. Sauron told these secrets that only every generation of Speakers could grasp.
"What inventory is running out, what should I do?" shouted the water legend Pias, who was in charge of the finances of the entire Magic Guild, and it was no wonder that he was so out of shape, the annual sale of magic materials and products accounted for almost more than sixty percent of the entire guild's income.
It is precisely this kind of huge profits that allows them to have the capital to gather most of the magical power of the entire continent, and carry out some countless magical experiments like burning money, if they lose these economic resources, the consequences are unimaginable.
Pouring the last bit of tea in the cup into his mouth, along with the tea leaves, the council leader Sauron chewed and swallowed before speaking: "The god of magic is still attached to us, that orc's small territory will never be able to open a completely closed passage, it is estimated that they are lucky to find a new entrance to the underground world, as long as they hand over the secret of this entrance, we will once again monopolize the trade of the underground world." ”
"It's hard to believe that, according to previous records, there are so many precious minerals in the underworld, that the gold of the surface world is nothing at all. At this, Speaker Solon's face flushed with excitement.
He shouted almost sickly, "Rejoice, honorable councillors, we will once again gain unbelievable wealth, and as long as we regain our monopoly on all trade in the underworld, we will have more power than the most powerful emperor on the continent, and no matter what, the cost of huge magical experiments will no longer be a problem for us......"
Like infected madmen, the noble masters in front of these people cried and jumped until the relatively normal fire legend Qiren spoke, "What if that little duke of the Orc Empire called Iron Collar refuses to hand over the secret of that entrance?" It seems that his own strength and the strength of his army are not bad, and he is even a saint of the Temple of War. ”
The cheers stopped instantly, and the Speaker Sauron pondered for a while before making a decision as if painful: "Then give that little lord a little benefit generously, after all, the entrance and exit are brought to us by this lucky little lord, just give him one percent of the annual profit." ”
Then he pointed to the legendary warlock and said, "I propose that Lady Deboraya be the envoy to visit that small realm, and show our goodwill, of course, if the little lord still refuses, we will give him war, let him know that neither the orc empire nor the temple of the god of war is anything in front of the powerful wizards' guild." ”
"Agreed. ”
"Seconded. ”
......
All the arms present were raised, and the decision was reached at once.
