Section 253 The Decision of Asturias (I)
Austin was woken up by his butler, originally with his strength as a high-level mage, he didn't need outsiders to remind him of the time, but he was so tired these days-
In addition to being the leader of the Sainz Party, he is now the head of the Wizarding Research Institute.
The Magic Institute was originally helmed by Solomon, and at least half of the research projects and funding came from him, and later after the queen's abdication, Solomon also handed over power on the surface, but in fact, the research of the Magic Institute for decades was still under his influence.
He was succeeded by Fernandez, who stepped down a few years ago and was replaced by Austin.
In this position, objectively speaking, the biggest role and the best play is Solomon, he is not only the founder, but also pointed out the general direction for the study of magic guidance, and some key projects and research are also carried out under his ideas, such as the now amazing Heaven and Demon Brain Project, which was started when he was in office.
Moreover, at least half of the funds needed for the start of the research were provided by Solomon, so even after the queen's abdication, Solomon gave up his position in order not to make the kingdom too jealous of him, but the actual impact could not be eliminated, and he still funded the research of the Magic Institute every year.
And the research institute is also happy to accept, if you only accept the kingdom's funds, the review will be quite strict, and some risky projects may not be approved by the kingdom, but the duke is willing to take risks, as long as your project is valuable and can impress him.
Originally, there were restrictions on the Institute's acceptance of research funds, and it was not possible to accept outside funding without the consent of the Kingdom, even if it was free sponsorship and donations, it was subject to review.
But the money from Duke Solomon is certainly an exception, because the Magic Institute originated from him in the first place.
The successor Fernandez can actually be called a meritorious person in the study of magic guidance, even if it is the sky and the demon brain, although it was proposed by Solomon, but most of the specific promotion is the controller is in charge, and it is finally successful.
But if Fernandez has a meritorious service comparable to Solomon in specific research, he certainly cannot compare with it in other aspects. For example, funding.
Legendary mages are all wealthy, but even legendary mages cannot afford the funds and materials required for every heavy research carried out in the research institute alone, and once they fail. That is, most of the wealth has been wasted, so even if Fernandez has the intention to inject funds, the kingdom will approve it, but in the heavy research conducted in the research institute, the private investment of the legendary mages is only limited to the progress of the progress. Towards completion, usually they are in charge of this kind of project, and they clearly know the value and development progress, but usually when they are sure that there is no risk, they have not many opportunities to invest.
Austin, as the third person to take charge of the Magic Academy, has neither the credit of the pioneer nor the indelible contribution to the study of magic as Fernandez.
But he also has his strengths, and he is undoubtedly one of the people who can invest in a magic research project and successfully pass the Guò Kingdom review, and he has several examples of this. In terms of wealth, he is not only a wealthy high-ranking mage, but also the former patriarch of the Childes family, the current patriarch is the nephew who took over the throne from him, and only from the perspective of providing funds, Fernandez himself cannot compare to him.
He also has another place that Fernandez can't reach, that is, he can become a bridge between the kingdom's political level and the Magic Research Institute like Solomon did in the beginning, although the role he plays may not be as huge as Solomon's, but it can do this.
For he also has an identity as a Sainz, a party that is itself a union of magicians and the emerging class.
Austin's fatigue began to dismantle the teleportation array with the Beesda plane a few days ago. The dismantling was successful, but the circle still existed, so much so that in the end, even the most powerful magician around him, the Ranma Lock, who had only recently been promoted to legend, was sent over to see what was going on.
As a result, Ranmar Rock did not unravel. In the end, the more veteran legendary mage Durant was alarmed, and even Solomon went with him.
The mystery was finally solved, but the news that Ranmaroch had brought back made the whole of Asturias nervous.
The reason for dismantling the teleportation circle was to sever the connection with the Beesda plane, and after this plane had obviously been invaded by Purgatory and the Celestial Realm, the Kaos plane could not take the risk of exploring it again, otherwise the gains would outweigh the losses.
However, if the teleportation channel still exists. That's a huge hidden danger, not to mention that if Ranmaro brought back Solomon, it is very likely that the gods of the Beesda plane are deliberately maintaining it now.
Originally, the more powerful the creature or god had to cross the boundaries of the plane, especially if the plane still had the will of the plane, the more difficult it would be, especially if the will of the plane was stored in zài, and it would suppress the opponent.
It is not difficult for Akatosh to be able to obtain an accurate spatial sub-marker, so as to create a teleportation channel, but once it is created, I am afraid that it will be treated as an intruder by the will of the plane of Keos, suppressed and eliminated.
In this way, Akatosh himself would never be able to understand Guò, and even the powerful creatures associated with him would be treated similarly.
But now this passage was created by the Asturias themselves, and Akatosh was also very clever in adopting the method of inducing but not provoking, not seeking to expand the passage, nor sending any creatures to pass through guò, but only copied and maintained it with divine power, so that the "vigilance" of the Keos position in the face of this passage was the lowest.
But the Asturians are well aware of the dangers, and once the Beesda plane is destroyed, this passage will become a fuse, and the Kaos plane will also be involved.
And will face both the Celestial Realm and Purgatory, both the "internal thief" of the teleportation channel, and the powerful enemy encountered at the same time, the will of the Keos plane may not be able to suppress it, and it is likely to repeat the catastrophe of the High Elf period.
Therefore, Solomon did not return, but the Asturians were not idle, they concentrated their manpower, and even the retired controller Fernandez invited back, plus Strauss, and the new Pope of the God of War Church and others, hoping that they could cut off the teleportation channel.
But after several people tried one after another, the news they gave back was not good, and now the maintenance of the teleportation channel does not need the source power of Asturias, purely after Asturias cut off the supply of source power, Akatosh took over the circle in time, and analyzed the principle of the circle, and then reproduced and maintained it with divine power.
In this case, there is little way to cut off the teleportation channel.
During Solomon's absence, Asturias appeared calm and uneventful, claiming that it had dismantled the teleportation circle, but in fact several emergency meetings were held from the Ministry of Defense to the Cabinet.
As the current Magic Wizard Research Institute, Fernández has attended meetings almost every time, and now the kingdom is a little anxious about this emergency, not only to hide it from the outside world for the time being, but also to find a way in all aspects.
After the magicians made it clear that there was no way to disarm this teleportation channel from a "technical" point of view for the time being, the others also thought of various solutions, but almost none of them worked.
The Ministry of Defense even came up with a plan that since the teleportation channel was maintained by Akatosh, the only solution was to get rid of Akatosh.
But according to the information that has been mastered so far, it is difficult to estimate what kind of price it will take to destroy Akatosh, the other party is the head of the gods of the different planes, and its strength is estimated to be comparable to that of the gods of the heavenly realm, and it is not alone, there are other Holy Spirit assistance, and below them, there are believers and kingdoms.
Although the Beesda plane is being invaded, the reason why the native side wants to eliminate the teleportation channel is precisely because they don't want to get involved, and whether they can do it or not, even if they can do it, it will cost a lot of money, and it is almost close to resisting the invasion of Purgatory or the Celestial Realm.
Such a big movement is like three groups of people fighting, and you organize a team of people to rush over and beat one of them, and after the fight, you still want to quit smoothly, which is impossible.
If this happens, is there any need to eliminate this teleportation channel?
In the end, there was no effective solution, and the cabinet decided to wait for the return of Duke Solomon, hoping that his contacts with Akatosh would bring good news.
Austin can be said to have been sleepless these days, and he couldn't support it until last night.
Not only him, but I believe that Prime Minister Benjamin will only be more upset than him, because this could develop into a crisis in Asturias, or even in the entire plane.
Now everyone is waiting for Solomon, so Austin will especially let the butler at the first time, no matter what state he is in at the time, as long as there is news from the kingdom, Duke Solomon has returned, and the cabinet has convened an emergency council again, and he must wake himself up.
When Austin got up, he instructed the butler to prepare for him and rush to the location of the Shem Pavilion immediately.
When he arrived, he found that although he hadn't even eaten breakfast, all the people who had attended the meeting had arrived, but everyone had a heavy face.
Austin couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and then saw Solomon and Benjamin walk in together.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Duke Solomon has already met with Akatosh in the Beesda plane, and it is a pity that we are not bound to get involved in this war, whether we like it or not. ”
The participants immediately exploded, and they all spoke out to ask Solomon for details. (To be continued.) )
