Chapter 40: Celebration (2)

This black vortex in the sky wasn't very big when it first appeared. It was the size of an adult man's fist, but in the only seconds that Catherine had been watching the whirlpool, it expanded rapidly, rapidly expanding. When the black vortex expanded rapidly, it inevitably emitted magical fluctuations, although this magical fluctuation was not very large, but it was enough for the magisters and bishops in the central square to feel the appearance of this black vortex.

Soon, with the exception of Archbishop Iber, who was performing the coronation ceremony for Fernando XIII, and the two cardinals, all the other archmagisers, magisters, and cardinals raised their heads vigilantly, staring closely at the black vortex floating high in the sky. The black vortex expanded even more rapidly, it expanded like a heartbeat, first contracted slightly, then immediately spread, and the shape became much larger, and then contracted, and then expanded.

Under the auspices of a great magistre, the 8 magisters immediately began to activate the four magic arrays under the viewing platform for magical defense, and after more than ten seconds, the spires of the four obelisks around the viewing platform appeared with a soft light, which were the blue light representing the wind element, the red light representing the fire element, the white light representing the water element, and the brown light representing the earth element.

Inside the viewing platform, every two magisters controlled a magic array and operated at full capacity, and the grand magister in the center was even more difficult, he had to fully regulate and deploy the four different elemental energies, and make sure that the entire magic defense system was running normally. This was supposed to be something that only a great magician could do, but since Victor, the only great magician in the empire, was removed from the status of the royal chief magician, he had to do it now. Luckily, there was a companion Archmagister standing by the side, ready to take over his work as soon as his magic ran out.

Soon, the four-colored light slowly expanded its enveloping area, gradually encompassing the entire royal viewing platform. When the edges of these four different colors of light come into contact, they merge together as if blood dissolves in water, but they burst into dazzling colors, forming a colorful light curtain in the sky above the viewing platform.

Coincidentally, when the light curtain was completed, it was also when Fernando XIII, standing in the middle of the high viewing platform, took the Scepter of Eternal Morning Light from Archbishop Ibert and held it high into the sky.

The crowd of onlookers in the central square looked at the sky with Fernando XIII's hand, and they all saw the black swirls and the colored light curtain that enveloped the viewing platform, and they thought that these were all part of the ceremony, and they all cheered loudly, and enthusiastic cheers resounded throughout the land.

The black vortex floating in the air seemed to sense the breath of life emitted by hundreds of thousands of creatures coming to the ground shouting loudly, and his expansion like a heartbeat immediately began to deform, and the entire black vortex began to twist strongly, each part of it was beating on its own, some parts expanded outward and some parts contracted inward at the same time, and then when the expanded part began to shrink, the originally contracted part expanded outward.

Under this irregular twisting and expansion, the black vortex that was originally round quickly changed its shape, like a hungry wolf in a pocket, after smelling the delicious food outside the pocket, desperately struggling, hoping to break free from the pocket that bound it and jump out to feast.

Such a strange whirlpool change in the sky has attracted the attention of the crowd on the ground, and some people have secretly doubted it in their hearts, and in the hearts of those who doubt, they vaguely feel that something is wrong, but it is impossible to say what the problem is for a while. However, the vast majority of those who can be present today are aristocrats, these people usually only know how to eat, drink, and have fun, and pursue excitement.

After changing countless strange shapes, the shell of the black vortex shattered like a fragile bubble, and from the inside of the vortex instantly emitted a powerful, cold, rancid aura, as if someone had suddenly opened a sarcophagus that had been buried deep in the ground for hundreds of years.

It's summer now, and the air in the imperial capital should be vaguely stuffy, but when this cold and rancid breath emanates, the 500,000 people in the entire central square collectively shivered, and everyone inexplicably poured out a bone-chilling cold from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were targeted by a murderous hungry wolf who didn't know where to hide.

Now no one would think that this was some kind of magic show of Laozi, and there began to be a small commotion in the crowd in the central square, and the people standing on the outskirts of the square were ready to flee, but with the efforts of tens of thousands of royal guards, the commotion quickly subsided, and now everyone was nervously staring at the broken whirlpool, not knowing what would happen below.

While the 500,000 people in the central square were curious and afraid of the unknown, nervously staring at the black vortex floating in the sky, the great magician Victor was sitting in an empty room in the mansion of Luke, the former imperial chancellor of the exchequer.

Due to the orders of Fernando XIII, Victor ceased to be the chief magician of the royal family and was disqualified from teaching at the Royal Academy of Magic, so he moved out of his original magic tower at the Academy of Magic and temporarily placed his laboratory in Luke's home.

Now Victor was sitting at the wooden table, enthusiastically drawing a magic scroll of seventh-level magic "stealth technique", he dipped his quill pen in some sky blue ocean ink, and then drew a simple and delicate magic array on the scroll, and then replaced it with a new quill, ready to dip some moonlight ink mixed with mythril powder, but found that the inkwell carved with tiger stripe jade, there was no trace of silver-white ink.

Victor shouted casually: "Bring a bottle of moonshine ink, how many times have I said it, you must give me all kinds of materials on time every month" As soon as he said this, Victor suddenly remembered that he was no longer the chief magician of the royal family, and Fernando XIII had also canceled the material and gold subsidies given to him.

Victor shook his head self-deprecatingly, and said to himself: "I was too comfortable in the past, and now I am quite uncomfortable." Hehe, I didn't expect that I, a forbidden spell ** master, would also have the appearance of being broken today. ”

Speaking of this, a breath of death with a bone-chilling breath came to his face in the distance, and Victor stood up suddenly, as a great magician, he had fully felt the terrifying power contained in this breath, it was an extremely powerful magician, casting spells in another plane, using the power of magic, forcibly tearing open the space, and opening the void passage to this plane.

Victor thought that he couldn't do this, if he went all out, he might be able to open the void passage connecting the two planes, but he didn't have the exact coordinates of the other plane, who knew where the other end of the passage he opened led to? Maybe waiting on the other side was the hot land of flames, maybe it was the habitat of the abyssal monsters, who would dare to enter rashly.

Victor closed his eyes and channeled his mind and body into magic, quickly discerning that the breath was coming from the royal viewing platform. Victor subconsciously remembered the magic of "space-time teleportation". Time is pressing, that unknown magic may be completed at any time, Victor must immediately teleport over and personally preside over the magic defense array, otherwise when this magic equivalent to the power of the forbidden spell is completed, even Victor, who is a great magician, can only barely protect himself.

Of course, Victor knew that inside the royal viewing platform was a huge and cumbersome magic array, if it was running at full strength, it could definitely resist the attack of the forbidden spell, but this magic array must have a great magician-level magician in the center, otherwise it would be easy to have problems when the magic energy of the four systems was transformed, allowing external attacks to take advantage of the void. The reason is also very simple, the opponent of the forbidden spell mage can only be another forbidden spell mage.

The long magic spell was about to be completed, and a dazzling white light flashed on Victor's body, but just as the magic was about to be completed, the whole magic spell came to an abrupt end. Because Victor suddenly remembered that he was no longer the chief magician of the royal family, according to the strict "Royal Magician Management Regulations", Victor did not have the power to use those magic arrays now.

Victor sighed slightly and sat back down at the table. Even if he rushed over to preside over now and keep the entire royal viewing platform safe and sound, then according to the extremely strict regulations in the "Regulations on the Administration of Royal Magicians", he would be exiled afterwards and banned from using magic for the rest of his life, which was formulated by the Fernando royal family in order to keep the magicians under control and avoid any unfavorable situation for His Majesty.

Anyway, those who are qualified to watch the ceremony in the central square today are all those nobles who are high. Victor was born as a commoner and was bullied and discriminated against by the nobility since he was a child, and only Luke helped him in his most difficult times. Since no one cared about Victor when he was in trouble, according to Victor's character, why did he bother to care about so many things? Anyway, Luke was sitting in his study reading and drinking at the moment, and it was more than ten kilometers away from the central square, unless it was a god-level forbidden spell, it was unlikely to affect here, but if it was really a god-level forbidden spell, Victor himself could not do anything.

"Good luck, my majesty!" whispered Victor as he looked in the direction of the viewing platform, turning his head and picking up his quill again.

Although there is no silver-white moonlight ink that can be infused with water elements, as a great magician, the top enchanter on this continent, Victor is fully capable of replacing it with a magic array from other departments, although it is a little troublesome, but now it is boring to be idle anyway, just to pass the time.

"Aha, if Ryan were here and saw me draw a magic scroll like this, I would be surprised, I wonder what happened to that little guy now. ”
