867. Enthusiastic and good citizens
Wilkes City Magic Guild is located in the fourth block of the magic bell tower opposite the magic tower, the entire magic tower is divided into five floors.
The Great Swordsman of Chester led Surdak into the Magic Tower, the Law Enforcement Corps of the Magic Guild is located on the fourth floor of the Magic Tower, and above the second floor of this Magic Tower belongs to the special area of magicians, and ordinary people cannot enter without a magician to lead the way.
"Chester Archswordsman, officers of the Luther Regiment are not welcome here." Alfonso, Magic Guild Enforcement Regiment. Captain Bernard said with a straight face, standing in front of the Great Swordsman of Chester.
Archmage Alfonso had a gray beard, wore dark green Calemian magic robes, and held a cane-like wand with this sparkling ruby at the top.
Behind him stood two young magicians with obvious hostility on their faces.
The Archswordsman of Chester spread out his hands, signaled that he had no ill intentions, and said to Archmage Alfonso:
"I didn't come to the Enforcement Corps as the deputy commander of the Luther Legion, I'm a good and enthusiastic citizen. Sinji's young magician had gone missing, and it just so happened that my men had found his body in the Invercargill Monster Forest, so they made a special trip to Wilkes City to bring the poor young man back. ”
He was standing at the gate of the fourth floor of the magic tower, and there were magicians passing by, and everyone stopped when they heard the Great Swordsman of Chester say this.
Surdak stood behind the Great Swordsman of Chester, and he could see that everyone cared about Joel. The whereabouts of the Wizard Sinji.
Even Archmage Alfonso's face changed slightly, and he took the initiative to get out of the way, pointed inside with the staff in his hand, and said, "Let's go in and talk!" ”
Archmage Alfonso turned and walked ahead, through a corridor and into a magical laboratory at the end.
The entire lab was filled with various crucibles and glass test tubes, connected to containers, making Surdak think he might have walked into a chemistry lab.
Archmage Alfonso was in the lounge area at the door of the room, and invited the Archswordsman of Chester to sit down, and then he took out a parchment ledger from his magic belt and asked the Archswordsman of Chester with a solemn expression:
"Your people have found Joel. Singhi? Where is he? ”
The Chester Archswordsman glanced back at Surdak and said:
"The body was found in a crack in the Monster Forest in Invercargill, but unfortunately it had been several days since it was found, and the body was completely decomposed."
"It's good that it's cooler in the cracks of the ground, and there are no corpses, otherwise you'll only see a skeleton, not a complete corpse."
With that, the Chester Archswordsman beckoned to Surdak.
Surdak walked up with a blank face, pulled a large magic sealing box out of his magic waist bag, and placed it in front of everyone.
Archmage Alfonso didn't even open the sealing box, and asked directly to the Chester Archswordsman, "How do you prove Joel. You didn't kill Wizard Singi? ”
The Great Swordsman of Chester sneered:
"You've been in the law enforcement team for so long, you don't even have the ability to discern at all, right?"
Alfonso mage stiffened his face and let the two young mages beside him lift the lid of the sealed box, and a strong stench of corpses filled the room, and the smell made the two young mages almost vomit.
They cleverly covered their mouths and noses with white handkerchiefs.
Archmage Alfonso looked coldly at the curled up rotting corpses in the sealed box, and instructed his assistant:
"Go to Christopher the Wizard and Joel. Magician's family is here! ”
The Great Swordsman of Chester did not come to the front, he had already learned this strong corpse stench when he was in the military headquarters, and now he was almost five or six meters away.
He said to Archmage Alfonso:
"I advise you to inform Joel first. Wizard Sinji's family, look at this dagger...... If you don't know it, maybe someone who is familiar with Christopher Magician will know it. ”
Archmage Alfonso heard another layer of consciousness from the words of the Great Swordsman of Chester, and hurriedly asked, "...... you mean?"
Without waiting for Archmage Alfonso to ask questions, Surdak hurriedly said: "I didn't say anything, this kind of thing has to talk about evidence, we are just enthusiastic citizens, and we happened to be looking for mineral deposits outside, and we found Joel. The corpse of the Wizard Sinji, we don't know anything else. ”
He waved his hand at Archmage Alfonso, then patted his forehead again, as if remembering something, and said:
"By the way, when we passed by Kieran this time, we found Christopher Wizard and Joel at the Kieran Town Hotel. Sign-up for Singh Magician's accommodation, the two of them stay in two adjoining rooms on the same floor of the hotel, and you can also ask the street girl in Kieran for some details if you need to. ”
"You ......"
The Archswordsman of Chester continued to interrupt Archmage Alfonso's words and said, "We are just enthusiastic citizens, and we were still fighting the tide of beasts in the northern district last month, unlike some flies who live in dark corners all day long, not only can they not see the light, but even their hearts are dark......
Archmage Alfonso snorted with a wry smile on his face and said to the Chester Archswordsman, "Chester Archswordsman, your words are really as sharp as your sword!" ”
"Really? If a word accidentally stabs you, please don't take it to heart, then take your leave. The Great Swordsman of Chester raised an eyebrow and replied unceremoniously.
With that, he turned around and was about to walk outside.
Before leaving, he stopped again, turned to Archmage Alfonso, and said:
"By the way, I'll submit this matter to the Wilkes House in writing as well, I heard that there is a kind of warlock in the wizarding world who is good at dealing with the undead, maybe you can get the full truth from them."
Alfonso snorted and said dissatisfiedly:
"You won't have to worry about these things......"
The Great Swordsman of Chester raised his hand to his chest, made a knightly salute, and said, "Then take your leave." ”
……
A council is taking place in the halls of the House of Representatives, and this assembly has been called for and prepared by the Magic Guild and the Alchemy Guild at the same time.
This time, the Magic Guild invited some of the noble lords of Wilkes City to participate.
These lords are almost all nobles who have close ties to the Magical Guild.
This time in the development of Invercargill Forest, the magicians of the entire Wilkes Wizarding Guild are ready to participate together.
Although the mages do not have an army, they are very rich in their hands, and they also have magic scrolls and magic pattern structures, magic weapons, and magic potions.
Either way, these are extremely needed by the noble lords, especially the magic pattern construction and magic potions, so asking some noble lords to send troops to open up the Invercargil Forest is also being discussed.
Many noble lords did not refuse, and everyone was waiting and watching, because they knew that once they participated, even if they completely broke with the Luthor family, there was no particularly worthy benefit, and they didn't want to do such a stupid thing.
Marquis Luthor had many allies in the Bona Legion, and they were all staunch supporters of Duke Newman.
Marquis Luthor was able to stand out from a group of lords of the main battle faction, definitely not because his aunt was one of the many wives of Duke Newman, but because of his outstanding achievements in more than twenty years.
At present, there are six noble lords who are willing to join the development of Invercargill Forest, they all have a group of private troops, and they have no problem dealing with the monsters in Invercargill Forest, but they do not have the courage to face the beast tide.
Wizard Christopher stood on the semicircular podium in the center of the council, behind him was a three-dimensional image of Invercargill Forest constructed by seven projection magic crystals, holding a short wand in his hand, pointing to the sky above Invercargill Forest, introducing the general situation of the entire forest:
“…… We have ten years to build fortifications, and if we build a 700-kilometre wall on the southern shore of the Great Rift Valley in the northern part of Invercargill Forest, I think we will be able to withstand the next wave of beasts. ”
Hearing Christopher Magician on the podium say this, the noble lords sitting around the podium began to talk to each other.
Among them, the lords unceremoniously noted:
"Seven hundred kilometers of the Great Wall, Wizard Christopher, do you know how much manpower and material resources it takes to build such a wall, maybe it will take all the strength of Bena Province to build such a wall in ten years, and ordinary city walls can't stop those ghost-patterned red ants, they are good at climbing steep mountain walls."
He paused in his voice, and then added:
"I know the Wilkes Magic Guild has a lot of wealth, but I don't think the Elder will invest this money in your territory!"
Wizard Christopher coughed lightly, and he did not panic in the slightest, but continued to explain:
"Actually, I have also prepared a second plan, yes, the second plan is 'plunder', at present, the Invercargill Warcraft Forest belongs to the window period of Warcraft, there are no Warcraft in the entire forest, we can take the opportunity to occupy the entire forest, and transport as many minerals and potions as possible back to Wilkes City within this ten years, and withdraw before the next beast tide, relying on the natural danger of the Thorn Mountains to resist the beast tide......"
The noble lords around the podium scoffed:
"But in that case, it won't be considered a territory!"
The noble lord, who had spoken rather unceremoniously, continued:
"If we don't open up the territory, there is no value in sending troops, plundering the resources of the Warcraft Forest, the resources in my own territory have not been deeply developed, why go to that dangerous place to plunder resources?"
The lords laughed and agreed.
There were also people among the noble lords who were very close to the magic union, and in this embarrassing scene, they immediately stood up and played a round, and said loudly:
"But what...... If the Magic Guild were to hire us to explore Invercargill Forest, and after the development was completed, our army would be withdrawn immediately, this model could be negotiable...... As for the reward, it can be a box of magic potions, or a set of magic pattern constructions......"
In this way, many lords who had originally dispelled their thoughts felt that it was worth a try.
After all, it was the reward of the magic pattern construction and magic potion, and the scene seemed to be a little lively, and more noble lords were asking what should be done.
At this moment, a young magician quickly ran in from outside and whispered a few words in Christopher's ear.
Wizard Christopher's eyes widened and he looked at the door of the House with a shocked expression.
The door to the House of Representatives Council Hall was slammed open from the outside, and three law enforcement magicians walked in from the outside, led by Archmage Alfonso.
As he stepped into the House of Representatives Council, half of the magicians in the hall stood up and saluted the head of the Magical Guild's Enforcement Regiment......
