Chapter 165: Elder's Decision
It's cool to look at it without ads!
Algernon sat upright in a wooden chair, leaning over, his chin resting on his crossed fingertips. He jumped on his face, a chill oozing from his half-squinted brown eyes.
"You've resisted my psychic magic, haven't you? Algernon said in a declarative tone. The deadwood-like hand flicked forward, and a turquoise metal object snapped between him and Ivan.
"Wizard Alliance...... It's an amazing organization. Algernon felt like he was holding a breath in his chest, but he didn't get angry, he wanted to speak so slowly. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ivan Yafir, the executor. ā
The movement of turning his head made Ivan very uncomfortable, but at this time he did not dare to look away at all. As his vision cleared, he saw that his badge had fallen to the ground.
"I, may I ask your age, honorable executor?"
Algernon's tone was unnatural, and Ivan wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly yelled. It is this kind of desperately suppressed stiff atmosphere that is the most uncomfortable.
After thinking about it for a moment, Ivan did not answer, but asked another question.
"You ...... What are you going to do with me?"
Even the badge has been turned out, and it is useless to justify. Ivan didn't expect Algernon to have mercy on him, a man who had used psychic magic on him, and who should have put the safety of Takamo more seriously.
"We?" Algernon raised a gray eyebrow, "You mean the 'Wizards' Society?" Oh no, I haven't told the other elders about you. However, they will soon learn that this place is the center of the 'Wizards' Society. Do you know who the poor girl you caught is? She's the daughter of the Great Elder. ā
Algernon's words seemed to be an attempt to sue Ivan, and even if he didn't say it, Ivan had no possibility of continuing to hide his identity. But why did Algernon do this? Can't he hand Ivan over to the Grand Elder himself?
Also, where is Algernon holding him?
Seeing the confused look in Ivan's eyes, Algernon seemed to explain patiently. "You want to find the clerk at Webster Fortress. They weren't here, here, was my private storage room. I brought you to this place to ask you a few questions.
"First question, I care about my fate as much as you do, so I want you to tell me, what is the plan of the Wizard Alliance, are you going to destroy us?"
Ivan gasped slightly. He couldn't answer that question, and he couldn't influence the Alliance's decisions, he only knew about the part of the plan that had to do with him, which was to rescue the clerk.
After waiting for a while, Ivan did not say anything. Algernon curled the corners of his mouth and smiled hideously.
"Second question, besides you, are there any people from the Wizard Alliance who have infiltrated the town?"
ā...... No. Ivan said. This task was already dangerous, and he had known it for a long time.
Algernon pursed his lips, his eyes like a leopard staring at its prey, and the authority of the wizard elders shone with it. And Ivan over there seemed to be no way to even support the weight of his head, and his face showed a weak expression.
Algernon didn't seem to be about to ask any more, and he stood up slowly, holding his knees. Then, with unhurried steps, he walked to the black-clothed wall and lifted a corner of the black flannel.
It wasn't a wall, but a storage cabinet that filled the entire wall, with stone jars, crystal balls, medicine bottles, and what looked like human skulls!
Algernon took out one thing from the locker, a delicately carved dagger resting on a serpentine black metal stand.
He turned, the sharp blade of the dagger unusually bright in the light of the kerosene lamp. Ivan held his breath for a moment.
"This is our ritual dagger to kill the sacrifices. I don't know if my magic will work for you. You're a magician with another kind of power, and I don't know exactly what you can do. Ulysses is confident in this war, but, seeing you......"
Algernon walked steadily, he walked so carefully, as if he was afraid that Ivan, who was tied up, would get up and attack him, but in reality Ivan was now having difficulty even moving his body.
Suddenly, Algernon reached out and grabbed Ivan's hair, and the blood on his scalp suddenly seeped out again, and Algernon's face suddenly flashed with a touch of rage, and his right hand raised the dagger high, as if performing a sacrificial ritual, and stabbed hard at Ivan's exposed neck.
Ivan reflexively closed his eyes and shivered, the tip of the knife touching his skin cold. A pain slipped through his neck, and he snapped open his eyes to see the silver dagger hanging right in front of his eyes, red drops of blood dripping from the tip of the knife.
The mirror-like dagger reflected his frightened blue eyes.
"So you're also afraid of death. Algernon looked down at him, the expression on his face was no longer cold and unkind, and there was a slight sigh, "Child, it takes a lot of courage to sneak into the enemy's territory alone, you haven't thought about it...... Will you lose your life?"
ā...... Elder, Elder...... You. Ivan gasped several times before he could barely squeeze out the full words, "You, won't you kill me?"
Algernon's face stiffened, and the light in his eyes dimmed. He let go of his hand. His hands and dagger were stained with bright blood.
"It's not something I can decide. He lowered the dagger, perhaps unable to bear to continue looking at the child's frightened expression, "However, what I can tell you is that I can't let you go." In any case, you are the executor of the Wizard Alliance, for us...... You are a dangerous enemy. ā
Well, this, Ivan also understands.
"All the elders of the Wizarding Order will decide together what to do with you. Algernon's voice grew deeper, as if he were reading a cruel verdict, "You're not the same as the clerk. Can you resist my spiritual magic, can blend into the castle in the middle of the lake, can you ...... Sylvia The daughter of the Great Elder was cornered. I didn't find any weapons on you, except for a very common knife. The power of the incomprehensible is very terrifying, and you, for us, are so. ā
ā...... What do you mean?" Ivan looked back at him.
In fact, there is no need to ask this question at all! The wizard would choose to kidnap the clerk because the clerk has no ability to resist, they even kill ordinary magicians, and it is impossible to let the more dangerous executor stay alive in Taka Mo Town!
Sure enough, Algernon fell silent, just staring at Ivan with a sad gaze.
Suddenly a rumbling bell rang outside.
"I'm leaving, the Great Elder is gathering all the Elders, and I'm one of the Elders. Algernon staggered to his feet, as if he didn't want to delay for a second, and turned and walked towards the door behind his chair. When he opened the iron door, he turned his head and looked at Ivan again.
"I've arranged the magic of bondage around you, please do it yourself. With that, he closed the door decisively. Ivan heard the rattling of chains and locks, which, along with the bells, shook his heart, which almost stopped.
Completely trapped here.
The next person to appear before him was probably not Algernon, but the executioner who wanted to take his life.
The sudden panic made him forget even the cold and pain, and he desperately tried to stand up, but a black chain suddenly appeared in the air and slashed at him.
What should I do! If I continue like this, I will soon be killed! Ivan looked up at the lightning that seemed like lightning. After touching the binding magic, a circle of intricate runes appeared around him, holding him firmly in it like the hand of death.
You shouldn't be in this place......
No, it should be said that he should not have participated in the executor assessment at all.
If he did die here, he would never see Aisha again, and the thought was terrifying.
Aisha didn't know what she was thinking now, did Borg tell her about the mission? Could she not even know that Ivan was far away from her? No, she couldn't think about it anymore, and if she thought about it again, she couldn't help but cry!
Struggling to get up again, another chain appeared, and the pain was like an electric shock, forcing him to lie on the floor. Is there really no way? There's nothing you can do about it...... Is it?
"Aisha, I want to see you. ā
He whispered to himself, knowing that it was impossible, but he still wanted to see her. This desire is so strong, even beyond despair.
He lowered his head and stared intently at the runes on the floor, which writhed like snakes. Ivan struggled to recall the books he had read about runes, slowly finding a sense of familiarity.
Since he can resist the elder's spiritual magic, this binding magic should also be lifted!
