Edith finally bowed to the Federation and confessed that he had provided the Mage Guild with the blueprints of the Myr-Nec and the hidden materials of the High Spells. According to him, the Federation recovered some of the book materials, but the spell scroll was only a "astral projection".

The astral plane is a transitional plane that separates the main material plane from the outer plane. This popular belief, while not entirely accurate, is not far from what it actually is. With the help of certain spells, any creature can project its consciousness onto the astral plane, traveling through this strange world with silver skies and the occasional flying island. The astral plane is capable of translating all thoughts into matter, automatically creating bodies for the consciousness that enters this world. Between the ontological body and the astral consciousness, there is an invisible silver clue that connects them. If the consciousness body is damaged, it can also instantly return to the main body along the silver line, thus avoiding dangers such as death. Except for some specific weapons and spells, there are very few things that can hurt the silver thread, but if the silver thread is cut off, then the consciousness can never return, and this state is not much different from death.

The astral projection is a spell that allows the mage's consciousness to enter the astral plane, and it can continuously strengthen the stability of the silver thread according to the improvement of the mage's spell-casting skills. In the astral plane, it is very convenient to use meditation to experiment with mantras, because thoughts can automatically become physical objects, so the whole world is like a "higher creation" of infinite energy. As long as the mage's own consciousness can carry it, it is possible to create a magic spaceship in an instant.

But another use of the astral projection is widespread in the multi-plane, and is almost the most powerful adventure spell for mages. After using an astral projection to create a conscious entity, use the astral projection again. A second projection of consciousness is generated in another world. It's like a relay. Rely on the Astral Plane as a transition. Go and return, form a clone of your own consciousness and use it to explore those dangerous places. As long as it can be ensured that the two locations of the destination and the astral plane, and the silver line between the consciousness projection and the main body are not threatened, then the consciousness projection will not hurt the main body even if it dies.

The spell scrolls projected by the Astral Plane were given to Archmage William, who was responsible for crafting them into a magic spell book for the other mages of the Federation to learn from.

"Just imprisoned to death?" Shelley looked at Archmage Siegel with an expression of disbelief as to what to do with Edith's proposal, "Why is this happening?"

"Because Edith doesn't have a few days to live. Siegel said, "The bottle of potion that was found in his room. Indeed, as he said, it is some kind of life elixir that can prolong a person's life. It was this kind of thing that Edith relied on to escape the natural death of his life many times. His body is now in a very bad state, and he may choke at any time, and he will not live for more than two months at most. I am against all torture and murder, and it is a relief to put him to death, and it is better to let him experience the threat of death for a while. All the Federation needed to do was make sure that his soul was not reborn or resurrected. ”

Understood, physical pain meant nothing to Edith, but there was also the possibility of the soul. Shelley, the necromancer, nodded, no longer objecting to the matter.

The life potion emits a strong spell-based magic aura. So I stayed here at Siegel. He will take the time to study and parse this strange magic potion, hoping to reverse the way to make it. At the moment, it seems that there is no archmage-level spellcasting ability. It's impossible to do this, William is not very strong outside of the change line, so he can only rely on Siegel.

Similarly, the Federation found two other mages who provided information about the Mir N' Core to the Mage Guild, and their punishment was beheading. The heads of the two men will be processed by the necromancer, permanently inserted into the spear, and will be placed on the bow of the magic ship to warn those who come after them. The Security Council, composed of the heads of the factions, has no objection to this sentence and will be implemented in a matter of days.

But another trickier one is about the Myr Core that the Mage Guild has secretly copied. A magical energy source like the Myr Core, as soon as it starts working, produces a very unique elemental signal that cannot be masked in any way. In addition to managing the energy core and energy focusing lens circle in Mir City, Siegel's No. 1 Light God is also constantly detecting this special elemental signal.

"Based on the elemental signals, the Mage Guild has created a total of two Myr Cores, which are stored in the Blue Ice Tower of the Old World and the Magic Tower in the Jungle Swamp. Siegel reported the results to the Council, saying, "First of all, I have to explain to the Council that the Blueprints of the Myrnec Nucleus that the Federation has are perfectly fine, but without my elemental aggregate model, the Myrnec will end up with devastating consequences." The magic ship's Myrenergy Core is safe, so you can use it with confidence. But any newly made Myrnec still needs to go through my hands, otherwise it will be a matter of time before something goes wrong. ”

"We understand the means you have taken in this matter, and it is this method that has prevented greater losses now. Mage Wendy's tone changed and he said aggressively, "But Archmage Siegel, if you're gone, wouldn't there be no one who would be able to make a safe Myrnec core?"

"I believe that future generations will always surpass their predecessors, and that a stable elemental aggregate model will not be like this. In the end, it is only the amount of experimentation that determines everything, that is, the cost of resources, time and life. Siegel understood Wendy's emotions, after all, Wendy was the most excited when he announced that he would provide the Federation with Myrcan. In a sense, Siegel "cheated" on her again.

"To put it mildly, I had expected that the drawings of the Mir Energy Core might leak out, but I didn't expect it to be so quick and so thorough. Siegel looked at the other members of the Council, "The Mage Guild has completed two Myr Cores, and there is only one case that will allow them to have such efficiency, and that is if they get their hands on the original blueprints that are not encrypted. I think you all use a certain ciphertext in your spell books, right? Why did the Forty-two Blueprints get all of them so quickly this time? It's one thing to have a mole, but irresponsibility and carelessness are the most terrible!"

The three factions of Protection, Spells, and Variation are the most responsible, as more than eighty percent of the work of the magic ship is in these three factions. They are also responsible for protecting the drawings. Siegel's gaze swept over them. The mages couldn't help but bow their heads. However, Siegel's tone changed: "The issue now is not to determine internal responsibility. Instead, discuss what to do with the Mage's Guild's two Mir Cores. ”

"Let them blow up!" shouted the Plastic Mage Semonton, "Blow up these thieves! If it weren't too dangerous, I'd like to be there and watch them burn to death one by one by the Elemental Tide!"

"Yes, let them blow up!" it took only a few seconds for the Security Council to reach a consensus.

Siegel nodded, it was the same as his own. "From the energy fluctuations of the elements, I can roughly deduce the approximate time when they exploded. I'm going to say something else: I'd like to be able to mobilize a magical ship on a mission to recover the Mage Guild's Myrcan. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Wilwood said, "What do you mean by recycling the cores? Won't the Myr cores be destroyed together in the explosion?"

"The core is bound to melt down. But about 90% of the remaining part can still be used. Siegel said: "The energy core built according to the drawings weighs more than thirty tons, and it cannot be transported back by any other method except for the magic spaceship." The cost of each energy core is equivalent to 500,000 gold coins, and some resources are still priceless, so if they can be recycled, they naturally can't be missed. Now we have the advantage: the ship's maneuverability and concealment are very good, I already know the location of the two energy cores, as long as I hide a hundred miles away, it is absolutely safe. So once there's an explosion, all that's left is to fly over and transport away, it's as simple as that. ”

"But there's a question," said Master Shelley, "when will they explode? if not." Are you going to wait?"

"I'm going to fix that and I won't waste too much of everyone's time. Siegel clearly had a draft. But there was no more explanation at the meeting.

After the agreement, if only one Mir core can be recovered, Siegel will get this energy core to continue research and development, and the federation will use its own practical actions to make up for the mistake of leaking. If the action is quick enough to reclaim two, then Siegel promises to fix it so that the federation will have one more core. The Order for the Magic Ship of the Starry Kingdom is now placed at the Federation Headquarters, with His Majesty's seal on it. This is a matter of great economic and political significance, and the Security Council has long agreed to use the power of the Star Kingdom to rapidly strengthen itself, and at the same time weaken the school city and affect the development of the mage association. One more Mir Core would save a lot of time, and every faction leader was not a fool, so he would naturally be able to settle the account clearly.

The value of the Mir Nucleus is high, but will this be the only takeaway from the operation? No one is putting this on the surface, but everyone knows it. The elemental tides caused by the Myrcanon Core only affect magic items and spellcasters, and will not be offended by anything else. All the metals, ores, gems, and alchemy materials will be in their place, and no books with protective spells will be affected. The best part is that the enchantment that protected these things is gone, and there will be no protectors left!

Even if the Mage Guild catches up, everyone is not very worried. The magic ship is a moving magic tower, and if the union can't defend itself against other spellcasters with the help of the mage tower, it can simply surrender. The truth is that with the energy supply of the Myr Energy Core, it is still possible for the Mage Guild to destroy the magic ship unless it makes up its mind and sacrifices the lives of seven or eight archmages. After deliberation, the members of the Security Council considered that the likelihood of such a scenario was low and that the risk of action was bearable, so they adopted the proposal for action, leaving only a concrete plan to proceed.

Everyone was smart enough not to leave the matter of Madeleine, the daughter of Master Tiydis, to Siegel as to decide what to do. Whether this female mage is dead or alive will not attract the attention of the Federation, and in fact, it is the majority who are looking forward to her "blowing up" together.

But a promise is still a promise. Siegel looked at the "Elixir of Life" on his desk, and wrote a letter to Madeleine. As an archmage, he asked Madeleine to come to Myr as soon as possible, and had something very important to discuss with her. Edith, a half-elf mage, also wants to see her, hoping that Madeleine will not be suspicious and will be able to hit the road as soon as possible.

Then Madeleine's life and death are left to fate. (To be continued.) )
