Chapter 28: The Magical Guild (5)
At the same time, Oster's leadership skills have been confirmed, and the elders of the academy are glad that they have adhered to the tradition at the beginning, otherwise they don't know how much chaos will happen with the young Miyali leading the entire academy.
However, Oster's recent resolute reform has caused uneasiness and suspicion among the old mages in the academy, while the younger generation of mages seem to have suddenly discovered Oster's progress and innovation, and they are overjoyed by this, and no longer care about Miali, the dean's candidate they once strongly supported.
For many elves, Miyali gave up the position of dean for the sake of a human teenager, and now her whereabouts are unknown, and Miyali has in fact become a negative educational subject.
And now, Dean Oster, who was not favored by young mages at the beginning, has greatly improved the status of young mages, employing a large number of young mages, and praising their unconventional experimental methods, especially the fact that he is in favor of learning the excellent magic of other races, has touched the sensitive nerves of many elders.
In the eyes of the old mages, Oster's move was undoubtedly ungrateful, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. He completely abandoned the tradition of convening an elven academy conference in the past when encountering major events, and many elven mages voted together, and updated the original academy rules by his unilateral decision, although it did not completely ban the power of the academy assembly on major issues, but it greatly weakened the influence of the academy assembly on the decision-making of the entire academy, and at the same time strengthened the personal power of the dean, raising his status and power to an unprecedented height, even when the dean Philosil was alive, it was impossible to reach a height.
This caused a lot of turmoil and shock throughout the Elven Academy.
Finally, an inevitable conflict unfolded again within the Elven Academy.
The House Assembly was held again, with all the mages and magic apprentices in the House participating.
"Oster, you must explain what you've been doing lately!, what exactly do you want to do!" an old mage questioned angrily at the meeting.
"Relax," Olster said slowly to the old mages, "I'm trying to manage the entire academy and lead everyone back to the glorious magical achievements of the Elven Empire. ”
"The Elven Empire has been proven to be a wrong existence! The magicians at that time have also been proven to be wrong! Because of the interference of human mages, our elves' own value system has been challenged, resulting in the mixing of the magic of the two races, and many magicians have gone crazy because of this. It was only with great difficulty that we were completely freed from the interference of humans and dwarves, and we had our own elven magic system. Are you going to repeat the mistakes of the past and ruin our own magical civilization?"
"Of course not. ”
"Then why do you support those juniors to learn the magic of human mages, even the inferior magic of the dwarves' stone pattern magic?"
"Don't you realize that the magic of human mages is more suitable for young people who want to gain power and growth quickly through magic, while the stone magic of dwarves can be used without spells and gestures, which is completely new in the field of magic. Why don't we learn from other people's excellent things?" Olster's speech drew applause and applause from the young mages and apprentices, which made the veteran mages angry.
"Heretical, heretical!" said an old mage, slamming his staff and angrily, "Orster, you have forgotten how you became the dean in the first place, and now, like those heretics, want to corrupt the centuries-old tradition of our elves. ”
"I have absolutely no intention of corrupting tradition. I'm just supporting young people to learn from each other's strengths and improve their magical abilities in an effort to take our magic to the next level. ”
"For this reason, you are confusing the boundaries of race, why don't you encourage everyone to learn Drow's magic. ”
"In the world of magic, there are no racial boundaries. If we refuse to accept the advanced magic of other races, we will fall behind, and the only result of falling behind is to be beaten. Why is it that Aland is able to enter and leave the Elven Academy at will, and treat us as dry mages like dung buckets, because he is stronger than all of us!" Oland said unceremoniously, "Aland is learning even the magic of Drow. He is good at using the strengths of others to improve himself, which is why he is the dominant man in the wizarding world!"
"That's a good point. A voice suddenly said approvingly, and a tall and majestic figure also appeared at the door of the hall where many mages gathered.
Seeing the supporters at the door, the old mages in the academy finally understood how influential Ouster's recent drastic reforms were.
The man walked in slowly.
Although the mages in the hall enjoyed certain privileges that ordinary people did not have, they all invariably gave respectful etiquette to those who came, because it was no one else who came in at this moment, but the current co-master of all the elves, their king of wood elves, the elven chanter.
Now, almost all the powerhouses in the Tuya Continent are blocking Dara and his party.
All the pursuers believed that the magic amethyst left over from the ancient period was in the hands of Dara and them, and in order to obtain the amethyst from them, a large number of mercenaries and mages joined in the pursuit of Dara and his party, so that after Darla and the others left the black cloak jungle, they had to flee to the northwest in a hurry and entered the Broken Valley area under the jurisdiction of the human race, in order to avoid many pursuers.
The landscape of the Broken Valley is one of the most complex in human territory.
There are naturally formed natural ravines, as well as the labyrinth of Kesai that has been slightly modified on top of the original hills, making the whole area look fragmented and riddled with holes. However, it is precisely because of the complex topography here that humans have taken advantage of the ravines and connected them together to transform them into a natural battle array: the Kesai Labyrinth.
The complexity of this labyrinth is also like the topography here, and anyone who does not have definite information about the labyrinth may be trapped in it for the rest of their lives, and may not be able to get out of this labyrinth for the rest of their lives. A labyrinth to cut off the underground visitors from the underground exits to the south is more effective than having an entire army stationed there.
Despite this, humanity has built a military fortress in the Broken Valley, the Southern Fortress, to hold back the powerful invaders from the south.
When Dara and the others left the Cloak Forest and entered the Broken Valley area, the first major problem they faced was the southern fortress on the main road. Trying to pass through this military fortress without knowing it was more difficult than it was for them to shake off the relentless pursuers behind them. If they are not careful, they will face a passive situation of being attacked on their backs. (To be continued.) )
