Chapter 81: The Old Mage Has a Flexible Moral Bottom Line
“……”
Kill a calamity?
Kokot didn't believe it.
Calamity is part of the elemental world incarnation, although it is shocking to say that Victor was able to take down a Storm Dragon King.
But he said that he had defeated a calamity......
The difference in strength between the Storm Dragon Lord and Calamity is simply too great.
However, she didn't want to make Victor angry, and although she didn't believe it, Kocot nodded.
After all, even she herself had never seen Calamity in its true form.
Even the first time the Storm Dragon King was killed by a human mage, this kind of thing was enough to shatter her worldview a lot.
The group walked as they spoke, and soon, the storm around them gradually subsided, and a long-lost ray of light poked its head out.
"Here we are."
Kocot, who didn't know when he had woken up, suddenly said something behind Victor.
Aurelian also stood in place, looking at the image in front of her.
The magical scene in front of her made her feel a slight discomfort.
The walls around them were like creatures, rising and subduing, and the floating stairs between the ruins were slowly swaying like tentacles.
The clouds floating in the sky are also slightly distorted, as if they reflect the faces of living beings all the time, and they are changing all the time.
And the illusionary clouds gradually dissipated, and she finally saw the scene called the land of the sky.
The white building, with twenty-four noble wings flapping out, was so white that the light shone on it, as if the sky had been completely torn apart.
The building was divided into seven rings, on which three statues stood tall in the air, and half of the statues of the three human heads were shattered, converging and hanging in the void.
Under Kocot's leadership, they came to the third ring.
Pushing open the sloping door, a white light burst through the air.
There was only one familiar figure above the council - Heim Horn.
It's like a fantasy in your heart, and you can't see your face clearly.
Thousands of people, thousands of faces, all different.
Just one pair of eyes is impressive.
"Welcome to the Council of Mages, Lord Victor."
Heim's voice was kind and reassuring.
"Please don't blame the Mage Council for its abrupt welcome, the other councillors are entangled in serious matters, I hope Your Excellency understands."
"They only come forward at the annual Mage Council."
Victor nodded, and he naturally understood.
He had seen all the old mages in the Mage Council, and he knew that the status of these people was basically not low.
Naturally, they have a lot to do.
Both Heim and Kokot are the administrators of the Mage's Capital, but the difference is that Kokot is completely forced to live in Endymion.
Although she is also a councillor, she feels quite a mascot.
The Mage Council, with twelve councillors, each of them is a strong party.
Counting the levels in the game, they are generally above level forty-eight.
It belongs to the pinnacle of the fourth-order mage, but few have touched the realm of the fifth-order.
Heim also noticed Aurelian behind him, bowed to her slightly, and said:
"Welcome, Your Highness Princess."
Seeing Haim, Aurelian ducked behind Victor, the mage in front of her was a strange person in her eyes.
She was a little apprehensive, and when she came in, she could feel how powerful the mage was in front of her.
However, the mage who couldn't see her face seemed to know her?
"Don't be surprised, Your Highness Aurelian."
"The wisdom of the mage knows everything in the world, and you may know one of the members of our council."
Aurelian was a little puzzled, but the phantom mage did not hide it, and said:
"Rachel Azure, the academy of your empire."
"He's been repairing a ruined academy in the Empire lately, though, well, you haven't had a chance to see him here today."
Heim's gaze looked at the princess, and the amazement that remained in his heart did not allow him to show it.
The mages were all human spirits, and the moment he saw Aurelian, Heim knew that Victor had taken care of everything.
It is true that the Mage Council is independent of any nation, but that doesn't mean they're stronger than any other.
Not to mention the powerful national power of the empire, none of the mages want to provoke the monster of Oberly Thor.
Of course, even without a princess, Haim was ready to accede to Victor's request.
Heim looked at Victor again, and the more he looked, the more pleasantly surprised.
Victor's prowess in the Canyon of Magic made Heim realize that he deserved to be invited by the Mage Council at all costs.
Considering that Viktor's status in the empire was not low, he was even the personal tutor of the princess of the empire.
This identity is also quite deterrent.
Victor has met the demands of the council in every respect, except morality.
As for morality?
Oh, my God, the mage has a very liberal morality.
If a mage doesn't do bad things, he's a good person.
"Flattery is gone, what do I want?"
While Heim was still thinking about how to speak, Victor had already figured out a way to trade for him in advance.
"Don't be anxious, my friend, what is yours will always be yours."
I couldn't see Heim's expression, but I could hear the other party's smile in his tone.
He just waved his hand, and two void cracks formed out of thin air in the air, and from them fell a magic robe and a magic staff.
The body of the black staff is carved with many ancient runes, and there is a jewel with a red luster inlaid on it, which is very gorgeous and magical.
The collar of the robe gradually followed the purple lines, covering the seams of the clothes, and the body was only red and black, which looked very simple.
"These two pieces are custom-made by the dwarves' top magicians, and they are priceless."
"Of course, this is my gift to you on behalf of the Mage Council, Lord Victor, and it's free."
He chuckled and slid his fingers, and the two pieces of gear floated to Victor's side.
Victor looked at the two extraordinary pieces of equipment, and their stats were displayed in front of him.
【Wand: Uluster】
[Effect: Spell Power +700, All Resistance +50, Magic Channel Speed +40%]
[Skill: Copy - Use magic has a 30% chance to quickly copy and release the last magic without consuming mana.] When equipped at the same time as 'Gaia', the effect chance is increased by 15%]
【Mage's Robes: Gaia】
[Effect: HP +5000, All Resistance +50, Spell Power Increase by 30%]
[Skill: Veil - Generate a magic shield that resists an enemy attack every 360 seconds, the enemy attack during the shield shattering will not be retimed, and the shield will be shattered and will cause a second stun within 5000 yards.] 】
The attributes of the equipment made Victor very satisfied.
It is undoubtedly the equipment that he can use at this stage.
Before he finished speaking, Heim continued:
"Lord Victor, the journey through the Magic Canyon has proven that you are powerful, and you deserve the status of a councilor."
He waved his finger, and a circular logo flew towards Victor.
The silver-white disc is carved with three half-broken human heads.
Victor took the sign, and a thread seemed to connect himself to Endymion.
Membership, a novel experience.
After all, no player has ever been mixed up in the position of councillor.
Members of the Mage Capital will always receive the help and support of the Parliament, and this status is very important regardless of the country in which the councillors are located.
"This councillor status was collectively negotiated by us, and in the future, Kokot will no longer be a member of the Mage Council."
There can only be twelve councillors, and when Victor joins, one must leave.
And this person, naturally, can only be the mascot Cocott.
Coot just pouted and said:
"I'm okay, as long as I can sleep."
Vega squinted her eyes and complained to Victor in her heart.
"Have your mages always been so morally flexible?"
This Heim, when he discussed the conditions with Victor in the letter before, was still full of such a heavy smell of gunpowder.
As a result, now he is smiling like an old chrysanthemum, and he almost writes the flattery on his face.
But Vega also understands the mages.
Victor was not as powerful as a normal fourth-order mage, and this strength was even incomprehensible to him.
No one could understand why a mage could possess such terrifying aggression until they met Victor.
Isn't mage an elegant profession?
A calm, strategic, mysteriously chanting a noble chant is the image of a mage in Vega's heart.
Victor? He was also strategizing and calm.
The magic he played, one more violent than the other!
After doing all this, Heim planned to leave early.
"Your Excellency Victor, now that you have joined the council and the matter is settled, I am also leaving."
"If you have any questions, you can ask former Councillor Kokot."
"Have fun, Lord Victor."
"Mr. Heim."
As Heim was about to leave, Victor stopped him.
Confused, he turned his head to see only one pair of eyes on Victor.
"Lord Victor, what else is going on?"
"Did you forget something?"
Victor put his hands in his pockets and looked at each other calmly.
"Hyjal, the source of energy for Endymion."
Members of the Mage Council are eligible to travel to Hyjal, where the natural energies are incomparably abundant.
Any mage who can practice in Hyjal for a while will be able to show an effective increase in his magical power.
Seeing that Victor explained his intentions, Heim was a little silent.
In fact, he has been deliberately avoiding this topic.
After the prophecy, the survival of Hyjal caused panic among the members of the parliament.
So everybody is avoiding not talking about it.
But before he could find a reason to avoid it, Victor's voice rang out.
"Don't forget why you came to me."
"It takes sincerity to ask for help, Mr. Heim."
Hearing this, Heim shook his head and sighed.
Since it can't be avoided, it's better to go with the flow.
"Alright, Mr. Victor, please come with me."
At this time, Aurelian was still in a trance, and she couldn't understand many things that the teacher and the advanced mage in front of her said.
What is a councillor? And what is Hyjal?
She didn't know much about Endymion, but she was smart enough to know what to say and when.
So she didn't ask.
Heim looked back at Aurelian and said:
"Your Highness, you have to wait in the council for a while."
"After all, only parliamentarians have access to Hyjal."
Aurelian looked at Victor and saw that the teacher nodded to her, nodded, and agreed:
"I see."
Cocott yawned and pointed to himself.
"Eh, what about me? Can I go along? ”
"Of course, as a former MP, you still have the right to enter Hyjal."
Heim Horn held the coat of arms on his chest in his hand and held out a finger and swiped it in the air.
Distorted branches gradually protruded from the void, and a deep passage appeared in front of Victor.
There seemed to be an eye staring at Victor above the young shoots of the branches, blinking and blinking.
"This is the gateway to Hyjal."
"Mr. Victor, let's go."
"Cocott, come along."
Led by Heim, Victor walked into the lush and dark paths, with Corcot walking last.
The path zigzagged and spiraled towards the ground.
Stepping on the transparent passage, except for the first few plants, all that remained was dark nothingness.
Here, it's a different space.
Soon, the group reached the end of the passage.
As if passing through a transparent wall, Victor was greeted by a huge green magical tree.
The chaotic root system penetrates deep into the void, and Victor looks down at the void, exactly like in the game, unable to peek into the source of Hyjal at all.
The giant tree in front of him seemed to be cut in two, and the upper and lower sections of the giant tree were divided.
The jagged gaps in the trunk seemed to float like shards of tree bark with a cloud of light.
The green light continued to surge, sending energy towards the giant tree.
The upper half sprouted lush branches and foliage that slowly descended into the dome, but Victor could see seven layers of white aura surrounding the canopy.
Each white halo represents a floor of Endymion's building.
"Mr. Victor, it's here."
"This is the very bottom of Endymion, Hyjal."
