Chapter 8: The Elemental Council
"Simoyeh?...... The words of that country...... I've seen it in the book......"
Leah tapped her chin with her fingertips and tilted her little head to stare at the ceiling for a while.
"So you've never been in contact with it?"
Saif put on a look that was exactly what he was.
"I'd say that Simoye is far east of Avedra, and a gallois desert is separated from Randall to the west. If it had been before Ragnarok, there might have been some communication between the two countries through the space portal, but now, it would be strange if Randall and Simoye knew each other well. β
Isabella frowned, she didn't understand what Saif was trying to say. For, as the princess said, there is an insurmountable geographical barrier between Simoye and Randall, and there is no intersection between the two countries at all, and the only words that can be found are probably hidden in those old books.
"So, that's what's so strange about it, some time ago Simoye sent a delegation of emissaries to visit Wèn in the Mage's City, which was originally a very ordinary diplomatic event.
But what is incomprehensible is that most of the members of this delegation seem to be from some religious organization, and my investigation has revealed that they are ostensibly planning to establish friendly diplomacy with Mage City, but they have been quietly inquiring about Leah's news behind the scenes. β
Holding his chin in his hand, Saif recalled with a frown.
"Ask me, could it be because of the space-time magic?"
Leah thought for a moment if a distant kingdom would be interested in her. Then the reason is probably only space magic or elemental purity.
But it's no secret that the latter has long been made public. So if you think about it, it's more likely to be the former.
"Maybe so. Well...... It's also possible that I'm overthinking.
Anyway, I'm just here today to visit Leah, and I'm relieved to see that you're still healthy and lively.
I wish you all a happy day. β
Saif thought about it, and then he didn't bother anymore, he got up and saluted the two of them and said goodbye. And left here.
In the following days, Leah's itinerary remained the same, and little Lori concentrated on studying space magic, until a week later, the day when she was about to be awarded the title of ** master by the council came.
On this day, she got up early in the morning.
"Speaking of which, I. Miss Karen, and Miss Eve can't go with you to the Elemental Council today. β
In front of the dresser, the princess is combing Lori's hair and dressing the ponytails on both sides in the style of aristocratic curls that Leah only chooses for banquets or important ceremonies.
"Oops!?"
A rare ** division ceremony, Leah never thought that her best friend would miss it.
"There is no way, although I would like to accompany you too, but Lord Hanufain invited us to her mage tower. β
Isabella lowered her head and kissed a loli's little head. Sniffing lightly at the tips of Leah's hair, he said.
"Uh......h In that case......"
Although she didn't know what the Great Sage was looking for Isabella, Leah knew that as a princess of a country, Isabella had no reason to refuse in the face of the invitation of the master of ten thousand laws.
"Well...... Anyway, it's just a ban. Since Isabella has something more to do, I won't pester you. β
Standing in front of the mirror, he turned gracefully. After making sure that the corset, dress, and various decorative ribbons were all dressed, Leah said goodbye to the princess and was escorted by the knights to the main hall where the Elemental Council was located.
The Elemental Council does not have the splendor of the Palace of Wisdom, nor the majesty of the Palace of Hailivanye. It is a building with only white accents and intricate Mithril ornamentation.
Ordering the knights to wait at the door, Leah stepped into it alone.
At the moment when she stepped over the door, little Lori felt as if she had come to another time and space, and all the glitz and glamour of the world disappeared, replaced by the ancient mystery and the mystery of ten thousand lawsβhere, it is not a temple symbolizing power and status, but the condensation of infinite wisdom.
Stepping into the central hall, there is a circular row of tables and chairs, among which are seated six old men, who are the most intelligent mages in the six realms of arcane, earth, wind, water, fire, and space-time magic, the so-called Elemental Council.
Leah wasn't familiar with these people, and the only person she knew was Mr. Essolda, who was sitting in the chair that represented planes. Naturally, Leah is no stranger to this old man, he is the mentor of Saif and Professor Broad, and the most authoritative space-time mage in the entire Avedra. Of course, if you have to say it, the premise of this "most authoritative" must be to ignore Leah herself.
Perhaps aware of this, the white-bearded old man stuck out his tongue playfully and made a self-deprecating expression after noticing Leah's gaze.
"Welcome, Miss Leah. Needless to say, I'm the president of the Elemental Council. β
The old man at the head stood up and said:
"The Elemental Purity Theory is a revolutionary argument for mage spells made by Miss Leah. It's so widespread and versatile, changing all the spells we've used so far, simplifying their learning and reducing their mental drain. β
The old man slowly spoke about Leah's theory of elemental purity.
"More importantly, it is a new understanding of the magical element by the mages, giving us a different perspective to think, what is the magical element, do we really understand the magical element?
There is no doubt that before this argument appeared, our vision was too narrow, our thinking was limited, and we even lost the spirit of exploration. So the advent of the Elemental Purity Theory is not only an improvement for the entire mage world, but also a warning to ourselves - do we really understand what we thought we had mastered completely? The answer is no, as a mage, we should always be introspective......
The old man said a lot, most of it about Leah's contributions, and something that was drawn from it that was worth thinking about. Finally, he cleared his throat.
"Now, in view of Miss Leah's outstanding and immeasurable contribution to the mage world, I hereby mention that the Elemental Council should bestow on her the honor of mages, the title of '** Master'!"
Before the words fell, there was a warm applause in the hall, in addition to the six people of the Elemental Council, there were also leaders from various fields of the Mage City present, most of them were ** masters, but there was no doubt that no one could make such a "revolutionary" contribution to the mage world as Leah.
Naturally, the Speaker of the Parliament was voted unanimous. The old man himself lifted a cloak made of white gauze and came to Leah's side.
"Put it on, kid. Remember, this cloak does not represent status or power, but your wisdom and indelible contribution to the mages, and from now on, wherever you go, Mage City will be your most solid backing!"
Taking the white gauze cloak, Leah gently draped it over her body.
For a moment, she seemed to recall the bits and pieces from the beginning of Ed Nihua's school to today, although at the beginning, all Lori wanted was Avedra's veto on her marriage. But now, when this seemingly light but actually weighty cloak was added, Leah suddenly realized that what the title of ** master really represents is her wisdom - this is the most precious thing she really has as a mage.
"Thank you for your teachings, Lord.
From now on, I will continue to work hard and continue to move forward step by step on the path of seeking wisdom. β
For a while, the little Lori, who had a lot of emotion, bowed slightly and made a curtsy bow elegantly.
Leah slowly took a deep breath and calmed her mind, although it was a little unbelievable, but from today, at the age of fifteen, she has become an out-and-out ** teacher.
