Chapter 76: Help? That's another price!
"The Magic City is going to be in calamity?"
Victor took the Phantom Mage's words to heart.
He thought for a moment, to be precise, he was thinking about the plot of the game.
In the future, the Mage Capital has suffered a serious attack at one time.
This is a special quest that belongs to the mage profession and cannot be joined by players of other classes.
The reason is that a powerful monster that has been sealed is about to break through the seal from the mage capital and reappear in the world.
- Dark Archmage Axzodia,
He was originally a mage, but because he was too obsessed with the pursuit of power, in order to make his physiological body surpass that of humans, he injected powerful magic into every meridian of his body at the same time.
Axzodia did get stronger, but the consequences were clear.
Because of the backlash of magic, it eventually lost its mind.
The body also turned into a giant with three heads.
There are three heads, so he has three consciousnesses.
Thoughts collide constantly, and ideas are extremely confused.
The constant gushing of magic from the body naturally leads to endless disasters.
This is how it was sealed in the Magic Capital.
The Dark Mage's seal gradually loosened, and according to observations in the City of Magic, its target was the first source of mana in the City of Magic.
Hyjal.
It was the first source of Nantimion's magic, and it was also the foundation of Endymion, storing an ocean of magic that could flood the world.
It is said to be the first big tree planted by the gods.
Its majestic magic is the power that sustains the city in the sky in the air, and also makes Endymion warm and pleasant throughout the year.
If Hyjal is attacked and destroyed, the entire island's magic delivery will be completely lost, and the floating island will fall rapidly and fall to the ground.
This is a devastating blow to any country.
If it falls into the ocean and sets off a thousand huge waves, half of the country will be swallowed up, and then it will be a real life.
Victor thought for a moment and leaned back in his chair.
He was very calm, even very confident.
"You're talking about Hyjal?"
The mage in the shadow was stunned for a moment, stiffened for a while before relieving himself, and said with a wry smile;
"How much do you know, Lord Victor?"
Victor's tone was strategic, and he said slowly:
"Not much, but enough."
"So, you must have heard about the Demon War before you thought of coming to me, Mr. Heim."
Victor was equally aware of the man who appeared in the envelope in front of him.
Heim Horn, rumored to be a phantasmal mage on the continent.
As a member of the Magic Council, he does not belong to any country, nor does he have any political affiliation, he is only a fourth-order powerhouse in charge of the Magic Capital.
Phantom Mage, as the name suggests, is good at illusion and teleportation, but the most enviable is his own phantom magic, the 'Phantom Clone'
The Phantom is able to copy Heim's movements, and naturally it can copy Haim's magic.
However, every time an apparition appears, it will cause the magic released by itself to be weakened by one point.
But when every bullet becomes a dense forest, it can also penetrate a building in an instant.
Heim instantly became serious, and said slowly to Victor:
"Magic alone can tell me who I am, Lord Victor, and you're more and more surprising to me."
Naturally, his identity is not something that must be hidden, and it is even said that he is quite famous as a councillor in the capital of mages.
He was amazed that Victor recognized him just by seeing magic, even some well-informed mages could hardly notice.
Before he could say more, Victor folded his hands.
"So, why should I promise you? I don't have any sense of belonging to Endymion. ”
Heim Horn was a little anxious for a moment, and he didn't care whether he would reveal more of Endymion's secrets, and immediately explained it to Victor;
"Hyjal is the last line of defense for Endymion, once Endymion falls......"
"That would lead to the destruction of the country and the collapse of the continent."
Victor spoke for him.
At this point, Heim Horn swallowed.
I only saw Victor's playful smile:
"What does it have to do with me?"
Heim was completely silent.
He thoroughly remembered what kind of existence the person in front of him was.
He will not be kidnapped by morality for any righteousness.
"Your Excellency Victor, we, the Mage Council, have agreed to your request......"
"That's the reward for inviting me to join the council."
Victor said coldly.
He deserves this.
And want my help?
"What you say, you have to calculate the price separately."
The old mage was furious at Victor's robbery.
"Victor, what makes you so greedy?"
He placed his hands on the table and tapped lightly.
"I have a sister who is a businessman."
"I don't care how difficult it is for you guys, but want my help? Take my interests. ”
The old mage was silent for a long time, and finally gave up, and he sighed heavily.
"Victor, what do you want?"
"The identity of a councillor."
The old mage's angry voice rang out. "It can't be!"
"You can only have a maximum of twelve councillors at the same time, and you don't have enough qualifications to be a member of the Mage Council!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a raging fire suddenly ignited behind Victor, and the heat made the air tremble.
The flames, like an angry lion, instantly climbed on Victor's body, and the warning voice in his mouth was extremely low.
Vega stood on his shoulder, and no one noticed that its eyes had an extra blue color.
Obviously on the other side of the envelope, Heim Horn felt a vast and sea-like magical power, as if it was about to completely drown him.
The scorching flames even made him feel a burn.
Such a level of magical strength made Haim's heart tremble.
He wasn't wrong.
At this time, Victor's voice gradually sounded.
"Mr. Heim, remember, you are asking me for this negotiation."
"Is there a vacant seat for the councilor? I don't mind killing a fourth-order mage. ”
Victor smiled, a little oothy.
Heim Horn was silent for a long time, and he began to wonder if inviting Victor into the Mage Council was the right choice.
But since he threw out the bait to lure the tiger out, and tried to persuade the tiger to go back, it was too late.
He could only bite the bullet.
"As a member of the council, I can't be the master alone."
"Victor, your aggressiveness gives me reason to suspect that you are declaring war on the Mage Council."
The members of the Mage Council are all the best of the fourth-order mages at the lowest standard, and they can be regarded as highly respected people in a region.
If there was to be a fight, he didn't believe that Victor could challenge the Mage Council alone.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Heim, I may have scared you."
"Tomorrow, then, I'll pay a visit to the Parliament, and we'll talk about it then."
Victor pulled out the invitation in the envelope, which was Endymion's coordinates.
He tapped his finger on the table, and the flames rekindled, burning the letters to pieces, and the dust drifted out of the window with the breeze, and likewise burned Heim's shadow.
Vega also took advantage of this time to disconnect with Victor, and asked very suspiciously:
"I don't understand, didn't we have a good conversation before, I thought that this matter had to be negotiated peacefully."
"Why do you suddenly have to go to war with them?"
Vega didn't understand, no matter how confident Victor was, he had never been so reckless.
And this time...... It's as if you deliberately want to provoke the other person.
It was even specifically called to build a magic link halfway.
Victor flipped through the invitation in his hand.
The coordinates above clearly record Endymion's current location.
As a city suspended in the sky, Endymion is always moving in the sky, changing its position at any time.
He explained.
"People who can become parliamentarians have always had no low morals, such as Rachel Teal."
One of the councillors was the old dean, who was a member of the empire and had no aristocratic status but built the Academy of Magic on his own, serving the country selflessly.
He dedicated his life to his college.
Although this morality has a partly divisive meaning, Rachel Teal cannot guarantee that the teachers and students of his academy will not be mixed with other moths.
But he at least had a clear conscience about his morals.
"So, no matter how fierce I scream, the Mage Council will not go to war with me, because the strength I show will make them need me very much."
The Mage Council is an organization with a strong sense of justice, and if it can be counted as a faction, it must be orderly and kind.
A chaotic guy like Victor naturally doesn't deserve to join the council.
So Victor showed his value in two negotiations one after another.
What's more, he just said those words, he was just talking.
Victor didn't do it in advance, so there was no reason for these mages to attack him.
Don't let the population get high?
"You haven't answered my question yet, why are you deliberately provoking them?"
Vega was still puzzled, so she listened to Victor's faint explanation.
"Let them think that I need that councillor's position."
They will think that Victor wants to become a councillor even if he does anything, in which case, the Mage Council will think that they can restrain Victor.
Because Victor has a need in their eyes.
And with demand, then all negotiations are easy to say.
These mages could have sacrificed a councilor's position to Victor, so that Victor, who was considered a councillor, would need to maintain that position and obey the mage council.
"Maybe these old mages are stealing fun, and they only need a councilor position to get a scourge mage who can defeat even calamity and demons, right?"
Victor smiled, and his laughter was full of calculation.
"Still don't understand, what's in it for you to be a councilor?"
"While being a councillor is already a good benefit, as you can imagine, I really don't take this position seriously."
Victor spread his hands and said lightly.
"The [Hyjal] of the Mage Capital is what I need."
Only councillors have access to the heart of the Magic Capital, and only Victor knows what it is.
Strictly speaking, it was a tree planted by the gods.
It's just that it was stolen by the former mages.
Wood Calamity, Drugal's Origin Core.
