Call for the Brave Day (3)
Location, the royal palace summons the temple.
Many court magicians gathered here, some of them had been serving as guards in the palace, and some of them had returned to the palace with the news from the knights.
According to the past history, the twenty years after the defeat of the Demon King were originally a period of steady development for the human race, and these traveling magicians were originally scattered in all corners of the kingdom and had their own peaceful lives. Even so, they quickly packed up themselves, left behind their comfortable life, put on the black gray robe that symbolized the magician, and came to the royal capital at a gallop.
At this moment, they gathered to summon the Temple, just as they had twenty years ago, ready to fulfill their obligations.
"Ladies and gentlemen," said the radiant King as the door in front of the temple opened, and spoke to the many magicians in the temple, "Ladies and gentlemen, I think you all know the terrible news, and thank you for being here to help my powerless king. I believe that all of you can come here with a firm belief in defending the human race! Now, let us take up our arms again to defend our friends and family!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied the magicians, beating their chests with one hand, kneeling down on one knee, and performing a standard courtesy, with a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
[Otherworldly Summoning Technique] was invented by the great sage before the Age of the Brave, and it belongs to the sixth-order magic, which can generally summon beasts from other worlds to resist the demons, and its combat power is comparable to that of ordinary demon nobles. However, the [Otherworldly Summoning Technique], which can locate and summon the brave, has been exceptionally promoted to a seventh-order magic technique due to its unique historical significance and unique difficulty of positioning. But whether it is a sixth-order magic trick or a seventh-order magic, it is a large-scale magic trick that requires the cooperation of many magicians, and there is no room for error.
The magicians depicted a huge magic circle on the floor of the huge summoning temple, and the magic circle that can summon the brave [Otherworldly Summoning Technique] has a huge amount of information and extremely complex patterns. The magicians who worked were like ants in an ant's nest, each performing their duties, so the huge magic array was completed quickly and with visible speed.
A faint blue light rose from the heart of the magic array, and as the surrounding magicians injected more magical power, the blue light gradually darkened and brightened, and the light clusters flowed between the complex patterns like flowing water, like life-giving elves dancing. Under the king's expectant gaze, a whirlwind of light gradually formed in the middle of the magic circle, a sign of the imminent success of magic.
But that's where the smooth process ends.
A subtle mistake that was not noticeable mixed into the magic circle, did not resonate with the brilliant light of the magic circle.
After a slight pause, the whirlwind of light shattered as if it had slammed into the glass of a rock, and the light gradually dimmed, and after a while it quietly fell silent.
The king was shocked and angry, and the magicians rushed forward in a panic to check for errors in the formation, but they didn't know that the subtle mistake that was not easy to detect had already been quietly erased by the magician who stepped forward first.
The futile inspection ended, and yet nothing was found.
"Ladies and gentlemen," said the king, standing in front of them as many magicians were in a hurry, "it doesn't matter, I think it is probably the exhaustion of the day and night that causes the failure of summoning magic. Let's try again, and now let's go and rest. ”
After thinking about it calmly, the king set the reason for the defeat on the exhaustion of the people's hearts, not only because of the thousands of miles to come to the royal capital, but also because of the shock of the sudden bad news, which made some people's hearts unstable, which led to mistakes. Although it was a race against time, the king decided to let the magicians rest first to recuperate. After all, this is the beginning of the most difficult times, and the Terrans need to be tolerant and understanding of each other to get through it.
After thinking about it, maybe this was really possible, and the magicians present could only reluctantly agree, and reluctantly walked to the dormitory prepared for them in the palace to prepare for the summoning ceremony afterward.
Among them, there was a short male magician who had a less than remarkable aura—perhaps he had deliberately concealed his aura—and quietly detached from the vast procession of magicians heading to the dormitory, turning and turning into the imperceptible passage between the walls.
The male magician silently walked down the dark passageway, and soon came to a dimly lit room, where several people were already waiting for him.
"How's it going? An old voice sounded.
"Everything is going according to plan, Your Excellency. The dwarf magician said humbly.
The old man standing there was none other than the prime minister of the country.
Minor changes were made to the magic circle, not just to disrupt the summoning ritual. The Prime Minister is also a skilled magician, and the Prime Minister uses his power to gain access to the most precious collection of books in the palace, which records the creation of the Great Sage who created the [Otherworldly Summoning Technique] before the Age of the Brave, as well as the planning principles of the magic array. After more than ten years of research, the Prime Minister and his staff finally figured out the full meaning of summoning the magic array, and then found the subtle and unique point to achieve a certain purpose that the Prime Minister himself expected.
The old man then waved, and the invisible wall that blocked the sound surrounded the old man and the other black-clothed man beside him-[Fourth-Order Magic?Broken Sky]—and the short male magician understood, bowed his head and retreated into the darkness.
"According to the plan, the true brave will not be summoned here. The old man took out the token symbolizing the right to transfer troops from his sleeve and handed it to the man in black, "If we have been correct in our analysis of the magic array, the brave will be summoned to a place of eight hundred miles to the northeast." ”
"Catch him, life or death!"
"Yes!" the man in black took the token with both hands, and the moment the old man released his magic, the place where the man in black had been standing had turned into an afterimage - the man in black had already set off at a shocking speed.
He is a member of the national assassination force [Shadow] under his subordinate, and he is just a national civil servant who obeys the orders of his superiors and does bloody work. This time, dozens of members of the Shadow are quietly dispatched without the knowledge of many to carry out an absurd and cruel order that has never been done before.
The old man, who was the prime minister, stood still and silently asked himself, "Is this really the right thing to do?" After thinking about it, the answer only strengthened his conviction.
On this night, many people escaped the inspection of the royal capital sentinels and entered the outskirts of the capital, where they had prepared horses in advance, ready to go to their destination as soon as possible to complete their mission faithfully, and at the same time, many unknown creatures disguised as people also infiltrated the royal capital from the other direction of the royal capital.
Many years later, it was this night that historians began to record the most exciting period of history.
The magnificent historical picture is about to unfold.
