Chapter Eighty-Six: The Council of Six
Magical flames kept jumping in the lights on the pillars, and hundreds of such magic lights illuminated the entire spacious hall. It was a room large enough that it was at least fifty meters from one corner of the room to the other. But now only a round table was placed in the center of the whole hall, and beside the round table sat six people wrapped in cloaks. The faces of these men were all covered with bronze masks, and apart from the fact that each of them was of different stature, except for a small ornamentation on the left front of the cloak, which also represented their nickname.
A man with a cloak embroidered with a scepter on his chest said in a majestic voice, "Regarding the future of our Mochizuki City, the six of us have been discussing it for three whole days, and now there is not much time left, we must have a result. ”
"Noble, now that the six of us have four different opinions, and we are not willing to give up our own opinions, how can we be unified in a short time?" said a man with a short sword embroidered on his chest, "unless we can have more information, or if there is a new development in the matter, we will ......"
The man with the scepter embroidered on his chest, known as the nobleman, placed his hand on the table and tapped it gently, and said to the man with the short sword embroidered on his chest: "Samurai, your words are indeed very reasonable, but I think we might as well listen to the scholar talk about his experience some time ago, which may be of great help to everyone in making up their minds." ”
The man with a book embroidered on his chest immediately said in an old voice, "Samurai, nobleman, I know what you have disagreed about, but I don't think it makes sense. ”
"Scholar, what is there that you haven't said yet?Have you forgotten the rules of our Council of Six?" a man with a lily embroidered on his chest spoke, her voice was weak, and her chest was much higher than the average person, although it was not that there was no man who could not achieve such well-developed pectoral muscles, but with this person's stature, it was impossible to do this, so the only explanation was that she was a woman.
"Lily, of course I won't forget. The man with the book embroidered on his chest, known as the scholar, explained: "I waited three days because I didn't have enough to prove it." Now, I want you to see something first, and then I'll talk about it. ”
After the scholar said this, he immediately pressed his hand on a miniature magic circle on the round table in front of him, and soon, two retinues wearing black cloaks walked in, placed the items in their hands in front of the scholar, and then walked out quickly. When there were only the original six people left in the hall, the scholar spoke again: "These are the works of that guest of the imperial capital, you might as well take a closer look." ”
"Hmph, is that the magician named Ryan?" said the woman with the lily pattern embroidered on her chest disdainfully, "It's just a junior magician, and I'm afraid that most of his deeds were done with the help of his woman, Faraz's father, right?"
"No!" the scholar shook his head and retorted to Lily, "I know you have your own intelligence agency, and you invest a lot of money every year. I have no experience in this area at all, and I don't know exactly how you do it, but I trust my eyes. ”
The entire hall was silent, only the scholar's old voice kept echoing: "Many times, fame is only illusory, and strength is respectable. This magician named Ryan defeated Mayne-Elber when he first arrived in Mochizuki City, and although we all knew that the little guy was actually at an ordinary level, and any of us present could easily defeat him with dozens of people, the mage named Ryan used a method that shocked me. ”
"The whole process is described in detail in these materials, so I won't say much about it. I just want to emphasize that the young man named Ryan has magister-level magical control, and his magical endurance and recovery power are not inferior to those of mages, you should know what that means, right?"
"According to the information, this magician named Ryan is from Fog Town, but his first few adventures did not reveal such a strong strength. The nobleman seemed to know Ryan's information very well, and he didn't even look closely before he opened his mouth to ask: "It seems that his strength has increased by leaps and bounds after arriving in the imperial capital, is it because of ......?"
"That's right!" the scholar patted the table lightly and said in a very certain tone, "There are a few magic scrolls in front of me, and a magic item that he just made not long ago, you can take a closer look." Although this little mage of Ryan deliberately hid the magic pendant he made, as long as he compared some details, he knew that this must be his work, and it included Victor's magic array stacking technology, although it was only a little bit of the simplest part. ”
The warrior cried out in a lost voice: "Is that the magic array that can draw the space-time gate teleportation array on an ordinary magic scroll?"
"That's right. Ever since I lost to Victor, our six-member council has spent a lot of money every year to buy his work back to study, and I'm very familiar with Victor's technique, and although it can't be copied yet, it's absolutely reliable for identification. ”
"So, scholar, what do you mean?"
"This magician named Ryan knows very little magic, but each one is very skillful, I have carefully checked his details, he has only been in contact with magic for a few years, and he can easily defeat a high-level magician. The scholar slowly said what was in his mind: "I suspect that he is the Imperial Capital at all, or a magician secretly trained by Victor, this kind of magician is simply prepared for war, they are only good at a few kinds of magic, but they can attack like a catapult. ”
Another man with a top hat embroidered on his chest spoke, his voice was very dry and sharp, making people very uncomfortable to hear: "So, the imperial capital has secretly mastered a large number of methods for training magicians, and although these magicians are not high in rank, they are very suitable for actual combat?"
"Yes, gentleman, that's my biggest doubt. The scholar patted his sleeve lightly, picked up the glass of water in front of him and took a sip of water, and the nobleman also spoke: "If this hypothesis is true, then the four plans among us must not be established as enemies of the imperial capital, otherwise we will face a fatal blow." ”
"Maybe it's a conspiracy at all? Ryan alone, and they're deliberately trying to mislead us?" Lily began.
