Chapter 552: Temptation and Response
No matter how old and sluggish the Mage Guild is, it will react to Siegel's actions. The Archmages came together to discuss how to deal with the current situation.
"Drive him away, can you say he invaded?" some mages shook their heads and faced everyone with a narrow smile, "His magic ship is parked in the sky, it is still a long way away from the Mage Guild, and it is not in our jurisdiction. The land beneath it belonged to Baron Eddy, a good old man with little skill and temperament, and let him face a royal marquis? ”
"Siegel has affected the order of the Mage Guild and must be severely punished!"
"Ha, he's cast illusion words in the sky, what damage can he do other than affect sleep? If he uses some insulting words, it's fine, but he's just doing business. ”
A middle-aged mage in a sky blue robe raised his sword eyebrows and stood up from his seat: "Doing business?, he's collecting high-level spell scrolls, and these scrolls are not allowed to be provided to the Mage Federation!"
"The original decision was made not to aid the so-called Mage Federation, because it could not prove its inheritance relationship with the original Mage Federation. Gen Shaw Gerald said, "Fellow colleagues, has the Association ever forbidden to associate with the current Federation and its main member, Archmage Siegel Squid?"
Quite a few shook their heads. "He wasn't an evil, regressive mage after all, but rather contributed a lot to the development of magic spells. ”
This argument was echoed by many people, and some even suggested that Siegel Squid be introduced into the Mage Guild, and that he should be persuaded to give up politics and lordship life as soon as possible, and devote himself to studying magic spells and reforming them.
This could only make people laugh, but Master Shaw Gerald didn't smile a bit. His gaze kept looking at some empty seat. That belongs to the Master of Prophecy, Liele. It's strange that he has not been present at this meeting even now, even though he is in the Mage Guild.
What is he doing, is he throwing in the towel in this session?mage Gerald fell into deep thought, even putting himself in Liele's place to think about possible countermeasures. Cloning is a good spell, as long as it's half as good as it seems. It's irresistible to anyone.
Who knows what spells will be created next, and at that time the Mage Guild will not get anything. The prestige that comes with Virus One has sweetened many mages, and they want to continue to have it. However, in the whole continent, the person with the strongest innovation ability is not from the Mage Association, but is isolated by the association. Fortunately now, he will definitely be able to gradually put together the high-level spells, and the so-called knowledge blockade has lost its meaning.
Siegel's rise has become unstoppable, not only in terms of lord power, but now also in the magical phase. Gerald has a mind of his own. Knowing that Archmage Siegel would be able to master the legendary spell sooner or later, he handed him the key to open this door, which was also regarded as a good fate.
What does the Mage Guild have to offer? Gerald himself summed it up: a well-developed body of knowledge, accurate spell records, an excellent experimental environment, and an absolutely safe living environment, as long as these are still there, the Mage Guild will not be under real threat.
The door to the conference room was pushed open, and the Master of Prophecy Riel walked in. He still maintains an elegant posture and a confident expression. That kind of temperament that everything is under control is something that no one else can learn. Gerald watched him, trying to find out how Siegel was affecting him. But no matter how much he looked, he couldn't find anything. Is Riele hiding too well or is there nothing wrong with it at all?
It's just that when Liele passed by him, Gerald keenly grasped a trace of negative energy. Could it be that Leel had cast a necromancy spell, or was there something undead on his body? He wanted to feel it carefully, but he couldn't grasp the breath anymore.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little late, but there's an experiment that's going on at a critical time. Didn't get out. Liele sat down in his seat and said, "What's going on?"
"I'm talking about Siegel Squid showing off his might outside the door. A mage said.
"There is prestige, but there is no martial arts. Surprisingly impartial, Riele said to the crowd: "I have recently received news that the royal family of the stars is preparing to mediate this matter, and His Majesty the King has taken great care of this good brother of his. I hope that the Mage Association and the New World Federation can put aside their prejudices and join hands. ”
"Is it because of the magic spaceship?" Woolf, the archmage of the Plastic Energy Department, pinched his mustache and said with some dissatisfaction, "The Star Royal Family, when will you be able to manage the Mage Guild?" Master Liel, are you sure Evan is talking about the Guild and not the Academy?"
"Xuecheng also received the same news, and it was from there that I rushed back. Riele spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders. "At someone's suggestion, His Majesty has asked me to step down as the Chief Scholar of the School City, and to retain only my position in the Mage Guild. The reason is that the school has never had a spell caster with a strong spell, and all of them are knowledge research and consultant talents. ”
"He's too lenient, isn't he? Many of the spell-casting talents are not very good, but the fact that a clear-minded mage chooses to go to the academy to develop, although it is a convention, does not mean that this is a hard and fast rule. All this must have been the idea of Siegel Squid, he has too much influence on His Majesty the King, is it possible that he used some kind of mind control spell?"
"As far as I can see, no. Liel shook his head: "But you all know about the Knox Guild, many of the mages of the Federation, who are close to our level, with various protective spells, but are still unconsciously controlled by minds. It is said that Knox's entire spell book is right in Siegel's possession, so everyone should continue to be careful, especially when dealing with him. ”
Gerald was disdainful in his heart, this kind of scaring method also deceived ordinary mages, can there be a market among archmages?He tapped the table lightly and asked Riel, "Historically, the Kingdom of Stars expelled the Mage Guild, and we had to establish the school city. Now that His Majesty wants to mediate, how can he mediate?"
Riel looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "His Majesty the King has agreed to our plan, and will use the power of the king to activate the legendary magic circle and control the goblin world. ”
There was a commotion at the venue, and everyone was excited. Some mages even clapped their hands in celebration. Liel stroked his beard until the crowd was a little quieter, and then said, "That's good news. Although the Legendary Rule Lock Circle was built by us, it requires people like saints and gods who have mastered some kind of rule power to activate it, not even our legendary mages. But if the divine power is involved, then the good situation and the initiative will be gone. The key to maintaining security in the new world also falls into the hands of others. Our Majesty the King is the Sage of the Dawn God, although he does not have any divine power, but as the guardian of the human race and the King of the Stars, he also has a certain amount of rule power, plus his royal bloodline, it is enough to open the magic circle!"
"All plans are proceeding as we had anticipated, including the resumption of cooperation with the Federation through the mediation of His Majesty the King. We need the Mir Core, and we need the Chain Teleportation Array. It all starts with the Federation!" Riele continued: "Siegel is a dead brain, he doesn't really recognize his potential, and he sits in the lord's seat all the time and is complacent. History has proven that the more talented a mage is, the more politically inhibited they are, and the more likely they are to try to untie their shackles. Colleagues, to untie the shackles means to raise the flag of rebellion. The last time we sheltered the mage lord alienated us from the human kingdom, this time if something like this happened again, I'm afraid the consequences would be even more serious. But even so. Can we just watch a genius being persecuted?"
"Ha, he'll be at the Gate of the Otherworld. Can the people of the Starry Kingdom still catch him?"
The audience suddenly fell silent.
Liel shook his head slightly, and said in a heavy tone: "I'm very sad to hear this! Everyone present is an archmage, of course they know what the Gate of the Other World means, let alone the Kingdom of Stars, we can't catch him either! But in that case, we will completely lose such a genius." What a loss! Besides, we have already suffered a loss once, and should we fall in the same place? Siegel is young, proud, and blind, and does not see the danger behind it, so can we just watch him make a mistake? No. The Mage Guild shelters every mage, especially those who can contribute to the development of magic. This protection also includes not allowing him to make mistakes!"
This passage, while not impassioned, gives a good reason for the Mage's Guild's actions against Siegel. To let Siegel as a simple mage and let go of the burdens of the lord is good for him in a large sense. At the same time, stripping Siegel of his lordship is also a kind of protection for the Federation - the Mage Guild has basically reached this consensus and has taken action on it. The resumption of cooperation with the Federation would mean that it would be possible to provide its library with materials related to advanced sorcery knowledge. And if the federation has it, Siegel will naturally have it.
But if Siegel did, would he still offer cloning services?
The archmages had their own thoughts, and they all wanted this meeting to end as soon as possible, and then hurried to find Siegel. So everyone ignored a problem, that is, the rebellious nature of the human heart.
The more he tried to turn Siegel into a mere mage, the more he was inflamed, for Siegel was still a young man, a young man who had never really failed. The actions of the Mage Guild will make Siegel go further and further down the path of the lord, and feel more and more pressure from the royal family. The old Star Royal Family can't keep up with the development speed of Hai Mu Ling, and there will be huge contradictions one day. This is not to dissuade him from rebelling, it is simply to push him to rebel.
Liele knew the secret, of course, and the previous Mage Lord had fallen under a similar scheme. Pride is the easiest drawback to exploit, and as for everyone, the gods are experienced in manipulating human pride. Riele looked at the mages who had left in a hurry, knowing what they were going to do. He won't stop it, and he can't do it, cloning is a miracle spell that even gods would envy, let alone mortals.
It would have been nice if Siegel had come ten days late, and then he would have received word from the Federation that the Mage Guild had changed its attitude and was willing to offer advanced spells. If he was persuaded by his colleagues in the Federation, he might not have made the move of "setting up a stall" in front of the Tower of Babel. He will soon have a collection of advanced spells, and perhaps an important book or two that will definitely affect the action of winning over the Divided Federation.
The appearance of cloning was beyond the power of the prophecy spell, and it was completely unexpected by Liel, which made the Grand Prophet feel a little frustrated. But it also aroused his desire even more! The power of the dice was so powerful that for a seaman-turned-fellow like Siegel Squid to create a spell like cloning, what a great deal of energy it would be in the hands of himself, a god of magic and knowledge!
In response to Siegel's sudden appearance, Riele had to use a pawn from the New World. That guy who is crazy with hatred, let it bite Siegel!
Fortunately, Evan has taken the dice back into his hands, as long as he kills the goblins and removes the threat of this world, then the hundred-faced dice will be in his hands again. Liel smiled slightly, when he had the hundred-faced dice, the victory was in his own hands. Although there are many sides to the future, it has been clear from previous research that the 100-faced dice will defeat all the other dice and win! )
PS: Thank you for your support, it's surprising and happy to have a lot of votes.
