At the same time, a violent flash burst out from in front of Curt. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) It turned into a fiery spear of light, pointing at the mountain in the distance. In the unison of the mages, the pillar of magic light crossed a distance of six hundred meters in the snap of a finger. Its texture is extremely pure, and it contains a fierce power.
Olga's eyes widened, and even he didn't know what kind of spell it was. The pillar of magical light accurately hit the top of the mountain peak, exploding into a huge cloud of fire. The cloud of fire extended in the opposite direction of the pillar of light, carrying with it a large amount of rubble. The exclamations of the mages came and went, and even Adios took off his hat and couldn't help but admire. He's well-informed, but the power of arcane focus has gone beyond common sense.
Randall blinked his aqua-blue eyes, feeling incredulous. She suspected that the spell came from Ioham, and that only Ioham could cast such a terrifying spell.
A little farther away, Kate Rankette grimaced. He silently clenched his hands, and really felt the horror of Curt. Lan Kate once thought that Curt was thousands of miles away from him, just a clever little mage, who could crush Curt at any time if he wanted to. But the truth is that Curt's potential is bottomless. He never really figured out how much strength Curt was hiding.
The fire cloud slowly spread, and only then could the sound of a landslide cracking be heard in the distance. Then the earth began to tremble slightly, as if a herd of giant elephants were rushing by.
Curt lowered his hand, letting the black charcoal of the crystal staff fall to the ground. Although he was very satisfied with the effect of the spell, he also vaguely felt that the feedback he received should not be so small.
To be sure, Curt's arcane focus isn't on par with Jason's. In addition to the reason for the difference in abilities, Curt also deliberately suppressed the effect of the wave of magic. He estimated that the amount of magic he had extracted from the net was only about a quarter of Jason's. But that's already too much. In Curt's plan, he only needs a little magic to drive Arcane Focus to victory. However, the wave of magic was not easy to control, and he thought he had messed up at one point.
So Curt was prepared for the worst, he thought he would at least be injured and vomit blood. But after the whole spell was over, Curt only felt tightness in his chest. He stood awe-inspiring, watching the clouds of fire fade into a cloud of smoke. The surrounding mages fell silent, and they could faintly see that the top of the mountain had been flattened.
"Ahem! Given that both of their spells hit their targets. How about a tie this time?"
Olga smiled and spoke, helping Curt in the round. The results of the confrontation of the extreme spell are not at all self-evident, and Richard is simply overwhelmed. There is no need for Curt to be unforgiving and make Richard unable to step down again.
Anyway, there are enough witnesses. Even if they are afraid of Richard's power, they dare not openly publicize the things of today's life. But in private. They will certainly exchange views over and over again. There are no impermeable walls. Through word of mouth, it won't be long before the people of Thousand Law City will know the truth.
"Uh...... Hehe, even if it's a tie. Curt kids are really good, I think...... Haha......"
Richard's face froze, trying to say something. It's a pity that it failed. His cheeks were cramping constantly, and he had lost his composure. Richard never dreamed that he would lose a must-win contest. Curt's appearance was so amazing that Richard even subconsciously felt it. Curt may have really beaten Jason and Evra by sheer strength.
When the mages' expressions were cloudy and whispers began to sound, four Faceless Ones teleported. They looked around for a moment, and then walked up to Olga and saluted. Olga calmly returned the salute, and then roughly explained to the Faceless Ones what had just happened.
The Faceless Ones glared sideways at Curt and let out an exclamation. Their countenances are shrouded in magical masks, so they don't see their expressions.
After discussion, the two Faceless Ones left first, and the remaining two Faceless Ones walked up to Curt and said very politely:
"Mr. Curt, in view of the severe impact of your actions, Lord Eoham has decided to summon you. Please come out with us immediately, and if there is anything you want to arrange, please do your best. ”
"Okay. ”
Kirt nodded, then turned and called Gordon over. He puts Gordon in charge and sends Mondo and Evelyn back to the Black Tower. Adios grinned and said that he could also work part-time as a bodyguard. Randall stood on the side and hesitated for a moment, then teleported away. Rankat and the other mages quickly left, leaving only Richard standing still. He clutched his wand tightly, his withered hands bruised.
At the same time, Curt was teleported by the Faceless to the main tower of the Thousand Laws City. He was seen in Ioham's room, which was filled with smoke and Ioham was smoking a tired pipe in front of him. Thirty-six jewels still swirled around him, like an impregnable iron curtain. Curt saluted, and listened to Ioham sigh and say:
"Boring show-offs, Curt, you don't look like a faceless at all. Even if you don't respond to Richard in a high-profile manner, I can put you in the right position. Of course, it's a real thing to brag about that you've been able to digest Jason's legacy so quickly and learn his arcane focus. Arcane Focus should be your hole cards, so it's a bit of a waste to flip it over and show it to others. ”
"I'm sorry, my lord, but I was really impulsive. ”
Curt bowed deeply, feeling that things were looking in a better direction. He wanted Eoham to feel like he had seen through him and not defend himself. When the opportunity comes, Ioham's laxity will be the greatest help for Curt Shun to complete the assassination.
As Curt pondered the matter, Ioham put down his pipe. He stared at Curt and said with a smile:
"Hehe, young man, once in a while I can't hold my breath, it's not a big deal. Actually, I called you here for something else. ”
At this point, Eoham stopped. He clapped his hands and summoned a crystal plate holding a teapot and teacup. Eoham removes the teapot, which is carved from a single piece of purple gemstone, and pours tea into the teacup that automatically floats into the air. He took a cup of tea and flicked his fingers. Another cup of tea floated to Curt, and Ioham said with some weariness:
"Alas, I'm getting older, I really can't stay up late anymore...... Curt, listen up, I need you to be the envoy of the Thousand Laws City. Yesterday I received a letter from some small country in the south. They are in danger of extinction and hope we can lend a hand. ”
"Oh?"
Curt caught the teacup and thought it was very strange. Qianfa City has never established diplomatic relations with other countries on the Big 6, and even commercial contacts are quite rare. After the battle of the gods a hundred years ago, the Thousand Law City is equivalent to reading out of the Great 6. Except for Thousand Law City, other regions will discriminate against and even hate mages. Therefore, in the eyes of most people, the City of Thousand Laws is a depraved and strange city of lawlessness. Asking for help from Qianfa City for this kind of thing is simply a big taboo.
"I have decided to appoint you as the envoy of the Thousand Laws City to that country. ”
As Curt playfully savored what he heard, Ioham continued. He ignored Curt's immediate surprise and just said slowly:
"I'll give you a week to prepare, and then you'll have to sail out through the Moonlit Sea to Aotran, the land of swords. This is the first time in a hundred years that a country has asked for military assistance from the Thousand Law City, and I attach great importance to it, you know what I mean? You have to give it your all, I need a perfect result. I don't accept defeat in this matter, Curt, do you understand what I mean?"
As he spoke, Ioham's expression became more and more stern. The arcane tattoo on his face was shiny, flowing with magical energy. So Curt Xun nodded, he knew that he had no way to shirk. - Ioham said that his goal was to reclaim the glory of the mages and bring them to the throne again. Now that a country has sent to the door to ask for help from Iorham, this is naturally a perfect opportunity for Eoham to expand his influence beyond the Thousand Laws City.
However, Curt did not want to leave the City of a Thousand Laws, and he suspected that the new mission given by Eorham was too complex and would take years to complete. Regardless of the rest, Curt didn't like it just because it had to be thousands of miles away from the Black Tower. He was worried that he would not be able to contact Ani and would no longer be able to touch Ani's supple head at any time.
But disobedience to Ioham is impossible, which would mean that all past efforts would be in vain, and Curt's own life would be in danger. He thought about it again and again, and decided that it would be better to agree first. So Ke Ting nodded and said respectfully:
"Obey your orders, Master Xi. But...... I'm too young to be ......."
"You're the perfect fit. ”
Ioham interrupted Curt with a wave of his hand. He smiled inscrutablely and said indifferently:
"You're a capable man, Curt, and there's nothing to be humble. Even if you are not a mage in the Thousand Laws City, you can still achieve a career. By the way, I'll send Randall with you. Anyone else you want to bring with you can do the same. After leaving the Thousand Laws City, you will temporarily renounce your status as a mage. This is a political need, and you must be patient. ”
"Yes. ”
Curt bowed, then left at Ioham's motion. Later, Van Lundel, the faceless steward, quietly appeared, like a ghost separated from the shadows. He was silent for a long time, and then suddenly asked:
"Why did you let Randall go with you?"
"Because you too will go with you, and protect Curt in secret. ”
Eoham picked up his pipe again, and replied with some weariness. He lit the tobacco with his magic, and as he swallowed the clouds, he smiled and said to himself:
"Interesting shape, isn't it? I've been waiting for so many years, and it's finally time to harvest. ”。 )
