Chapter 151: The Wizards' Attack
Waiting at the door of the restaurant was a small white-painted carriage, and Borg quickly pulled the door open and sat inside. The carriage sped away, as if it couldn't wait even a second.
"That, Sister Xiulin?" Aisha looked at Xiulin in confusion, "Yes, what is the important task? What 'no way' to come......"
"Well, that is, the results of the assessment have come out. Xiulin came back to her senses and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Little girl, what task do you say need to be notified by the clerk in person, huh?"
Aisha's expression froze for a moment.
"Well, then, that means that Ivan has passed the GuΓ² Executor Assessment?"
Aisha seemed to be a little overexcited, attracting the curious glances of several restaurant waiters, and she hurriedly lowered her voice, "Are they done discussing?"
"Let's just say that. Xiulin lowered her eyes, her tone slightly worried.
"I'm so envious!" Aisha clenched her fists, "It's obviously my little brother, really." However, I knew that Ivan would be able to do it...... Ah, Sister Xiulin, don't sue Ivan, I envy him. Then, Ivan will be able to go in and out of Idgara City at will, right?"
"Don't be in such a hurry. Xiulin crooked the corners of her mouth and stood up with one hand on the table, "It seems that something has happened, do you want to inquire about it?"
Along the way, the repeated street scene outside the window flew by, and at this speed, you will soon be able to reach the office. The clerk Borg had a rare stern expression, and in Ivan's impression, he always had a warm and friendly smile.
"First of all, congratulations on passing the GuΓ² Executor Examination, Mr. Yafir. Borg spoke abruptly, with no happy expression on his face.
"Huh?" Ivan was stunned for a moment, not reacting for a while.
"It's a bit abrupt to ask you to come to the office suddenly, but I can't help it, so I beg your pardon. Borg's tone was solemn and polite, "Things are very strict, I'm sorry." β
"Uh, oh...... What is it?" asked Ivan cautiously, foaming at the mouth, his mind still foggy. Why?
"Our clerk has been kidnapped by the Wizards' Guild. "More accurately, the Wizards attacked Webster Fortress northeast of the Anglo region and took four clerks working there. β
β...... What?"
Ivan knew the wizard, and Christina's coachman was a wizard, and the wizard would sound like a wizarding organization. He also knew that the Webster Fortress, which he had seen on the map, was located in the northeastern part of the Anglo region, adjacent to the Taka Desert crater. The location of the Taka Mo crater is in the northwest of the Kingdom of Phatland and the western part of the Kingdom of Aula.
"Why did the wizard kidnap the clerk?" he was just puzzled by the reason for this move, did the wizard and the clerk have any hatred?
"I don't really understand that. Borg sighed.
The atmosphere became solemn, and Ivan felt that he could feel Borg's current feelings. Borg is also a clerk, and the kidnapping of the clerk in the Anglo region makes him suddenly feel unsafe. Borg's eyes seemed to be a mixture of worry, anger, and fear.
After a while, Borg slowly voiced his guess.
"I think they chose to take the clerk because the clerk didn't have the ability to resist. Clerks are usually more adept at supporting magic tools than combat. When our duty clerks received the news, they were preparing to ...... Destroy the office. Borg's eyes froze, and his voice seemed to freeze a layer of ice, "This organization that calls itself the 'Wizards' is very bold on the surface, and it has even invaded the Anglo region on a large scale and killed the guards of the Anglo region. In fact, they have been on high alert. They acted premeditated. β
"What the hell is a wizarding guild?" Ivan felt a chill in his chest, how did the wizards that Borg said look like a terrifying criminal organization? Kill the guards? Ivan recalled the wizards in the book, feeling that they were more like rigid and mean eccentrics, but they did have some mysterious powers.
"The Wizard will be ......"
The question seemed to stump Borg, and he was silent for a few seconds, and Borg pondered the words and took a few breaths to calm his mood, "Yes, few people know about the 'wizards' group now, but thousands of years ago, they were still very scary...... A group of people who are a big headache for the church.
"Wizards are experts in the study of ancient magic, and in history, they were regarded as sages, great sages, and prophets who knew the secrets of the world, and in those days, people who could do magic were very rare. After the establishment of the Yellin Church, the shamans were very dissatisfied with the Yellin Church's worship of the Goddess of Light as the only god, and the Yellin Church also rejected a pagan god, and finally the dispute turned into a war. β
β...... Wizards are enemies of the Church of Yellin?" Ivan asked tentatively. Borg nodded, "The war went on for a long time, and even after the victory of the Church of Yellin and the establishment of a new order, the wizards did not stop their revenge. Their stories are all left in some of the church's old books, and in those books, they are not ordinary pagans, they are demons. β
"Then, why didn't they attack the Yellin region?" Ivan was puzzled, feeling that the wizard should hate the church, right, why did he kill the guards in the Anglo region and kidnap the clerk of the Wizard Alliance office?
Borg smiled silently and shook his head.
"It's not just the church of Yellin that the wizards hate. They are experts in the study of ancient magic, and at the same time die-hard believers in ancient magic. The heavy-handed tactics of the Church of Yellin did not destroy them completely, but the New Magical Revolution caused the ancient magic they believed in to gradually disappear from the fore. Today, when magic is widely used, the status of those wizards has changed from "noble magicians" to "pedantic scholars" a long time ago, and people have begun to feel that the study of wizards is useless and cannot be compared with new magic.
"I suppose the wizards want to take this opportunity to show the world their worth, they would rather be treated as demons than be relegated to waste, and the most direct way to prove that ancient magic is far more powerful than new magic isβ"
β...... Defeat the Wizard Alliance?" Ivan felt that this was not realistic.
I'm speechless.
Do these wizards have a lot of mud in their heads? or do they spend their days studying ancient magic and don't know anything. Ivan didn't think that old magic was useless waste, he had seen the strange spells used by crows, it was probably not new magic, and Christina's coachman seemed to be very powerful. But to defeat the Wizard Alliance, madmen don't even dare to think so!
The Wizard Alliance is already the strongest organization in the world!
"This is an action they have been planning for a long time, and they have named themselves 'Wizards' Guild to signify that the wizards have united as one organization. In the inner city of Idgradsio, our core council has given instructions to rescue the kidnapped clerks first, and after that, the organization that calls itself the 'Wizards' will naturally pay the price for their provocation. β
Borg raised his chin and his gaze sharpened, "It's impossible for the Wizards to resist the wrath of the Alliance, but if you abandon the clerk and act rashly without regard for the clerk's safety, it will chill all the clerks. β
"Then weβ" Ivan paused, and he suddenly realized what kind of mission Borg had brought him to the office.
"--How are we going to get rid of the kidnapped clerks?"
Borg's eyes suddenly lit up with determination.
"When you get to the office, someone will explain it to you in detail. I don't know the details of the mission, but Lord Ballan told me to bring you to him, and he said that you are the only one who is best suited for this task. β
Ivan's throat seemed to be choked by something. Ballan again. He felt a tingle in his heart.
"Well, I-"
Ivan felt the urge to back down. Before the words could be spoken, the carriage slowed down and stopped.
Borg jumped out of the carriage and waved solemnly at the door of the office. Ivan hesitated, but finally walked in.
