487 Opening
The appearance of a large group of outsiders made the atmosphere around the city of Murmaster tense up suddenly.
Even in the Moon Sea region, which is controlled by the Bann Church, which is often in cahoots with the Searles, wariness and suspicion of the red-robed mages, a wizarding group that is notorious throughout Faerun, is also the opinion held by most people, especially since nearly two hundred official red-robed people gather in this place, if they want to make trouble, it will definitely be a lot of trouble.
However, the bureaucrats of Murmaster were not too nervous, and they were not ignorant of the matter beforehand - whether it was the rumors that were spreading everywhere, or the secret notification that the red-robed mage stronghold existed in the area, they knew that a high-impact wizarding gathering was about to take place here.
The local lord didn't say anything special, but ordered the guards to stay at their posts as usual, and now a group of guards stared at the southwest area outside the city with wary expressions—the meeting place of the large group of red-robed mages was not inside the city of Murmaster, but on the top of the hill outside the city.
This unexpected meeting place not only baffled the guards, but even the parties involved in the meeting were unexpected, they were blowing a cool breeze on the bare mountaintop, and they all looked at Lu Lan, the convener of the meeting, who was standing in the middle of the mountain peak and looking south, as if expecting something. Boire.
Some red-robed ** masters with similar qualifications to him immediately questioned.
"Lu Lan, what the hell are you doing?"
Master of the Enchanted School of Enssos. Most glanced at the ** master who seemed to be playing tricks with displeasure: "You gathered all of us in this place, wouldn't it be just to blow the wind~ To be honest, this place is not good at all, if Sazastan wants to deal with us, this goal is too obvious." ”
"Rest assured, Lesos. "Lulan. Bouval glanced at him: "Aren't you ready for the escape spell?I'm sure you're ready, yes, I think everyone here must be ready, since they're all prepared, why should we worry too much?"
Lesos. Most snorted, and one of the lichs next to him opened his mouth: "Ah, this wind is really cool, I must be glad that I am dead, otherwise let this wind blow for a while, I am afraid that rheumatism will attack again, that memory is really unpleasant." Boire, anyway, we've been waiting here for an hour now, and ......"
"Whoever the protagonist isn't there yet, is he? Lu Lan shrugged: "This is a meeting that will decide our fate, shouldn't we be patient?"
Several ** masters pondered for a while, then nodded, and fell into their own thoughts, Lich Cohen. Fils sighed: "Oh, this is really amazing, that kid at that time is now the protagonist of this meeting, this is really a change in the world...... Lu Lan, just four years ago, we didn't even know his name, well, he should be twenty years old now. ”
"There is never such a thing as age in the conditions for being the protagonist. Neil Delon said sarcastically, "This kid is good enough, so why should we let him be the protagonist, how can we care how many hairs he has on his mouth?"
"But...... The power of the upper realm, it's really unpleasant to think about. "Cohen. Fils sighed: "If one of the purposes of the power of the upper realm is to destroy the Red Robe Mage Society, it may not be a cost-effective idea for us to make him the protagonist, I hope that when we return to Cell, we will not become corpses or ghosts." ”
"So, you're leaning towards Mistress Mithra?" Lulan. Bouvre asked.
The turn of the topic attracted the attention of everyone around them, because this topic was what they were most concerned about now - who would be the future leader of the Red Robe Mage Guild?
At this moment, the mood of all the red-robed mages became extremely active, because this choice determined their future path.
"Yes, Bouval, I have to say, what you have done in Hantu is very ......" **Shi Ankert. Lin Suer frowned and thought about it, and picked out a word: "Sloppy, yes, a little too hasty, we don't fully understand this kid yet, he used to be a Serb and a red-robed mage, but is it still now? His position, and we really ...... Is it consistent?"
Hearing this, Lu Lan. Boire and Neil Delon both had weird smiles on their faces, and they looked at each other, then at Anquerter. Lin Suer for a while, until this ** master's face showed a clear look of annoyance, Lu Lan. Bouval coughed:
"Ahem, Lord Linsour, Mr. Sean has made a wonderful speech in our stronghold about this question of yours, yes, the question we asked him at the beginning is exactly the same as the one you are asking now, and it was this speech that convinced me and Neil Dron, I think...... He is qualified to be our future guide. ”
Neil Deron nodded casually, although he didn't like Penny very much for some reason, but he also thought that this kid was so-so, and worthy of sitting in that position.
This answer made the ** masters present fall into a deep groan, but the red robes at the lower level talked about it.
"What if he was really brainwashed by the gods of the Upper Realm? Most shook his head disapprovingly: "What's more, he's too young, too young, although Master Neildron has some truth, but 'young' is probably not a good factor for the protagonist we need......"
Neil Delon snorted and said no more.
Lulan. Boire suddenly felt a little troubled, and the surrounding discussion seemed to show Penny's weakness in terms of prestige and seniority - many voices were suspicious of Penny's qualifications, abilities, and positions, but there were also voices that raised the suspicion of Mithrela, which often led to another round of more heated arguments.
Gradually, the whole mountain top became noisy, and the red-robed mage who was not a kind person in the first place, once he quarreled because of a certain topic, it was a matter of a few blinks of an eye to draw a staff and recite a spell, and the ** masters present certainly knew each other's surnames, and before the large-scale noise broke out, they walked around the place, stopping everyone who was about to attack the quarreling opponent with a threatening gaze.
"Nothing to talk about. "Lulan. Boire rolled his eyes and coughed, "If Sean wants to be the head of the Rule, he must prove that he is not a puppet of the will of the gods of the Upper Realm, although he has sworn by the Theory of Origins, but we need him to swear again that he must always put our interests first when serving as the head of the Rule, and if she is Lord Misrila, she must first produce sufficient convincing evidence that she is not being manipulated by Sazastan." ”
This conclusion put an end to the dispute, and the masters all nodded after contemplation.
These two relatively suitable candidates are not very suitable, and this meeting is to let these red-robed survivors get a result that is mostly acceptable.
But whether it was to become a puppet of the gods of the upper realm, or to become a puppet of Sazastan, it was not what they wanted, so the central topic of this meeting had been determined before it began.
After a brief silence, there was a sudden sound in the southern sky, a whirring sound from the vibration of the air, which was so loud that it attracted the attention of almost all the red robes.
They watched in amazement as a black dragon flew from the distant sky to the south, its long chant spreading through the sky with a thunderous tone, and the red-robed mages watched with some dazed gaze as the dragon approached quickly, and the amazing body of the dragon appeared above their heads—the half-voided dragon had a hideous appearance, and a few scales reflected golden light in the fiery sunlight.
“...... Here it comes. "Look at that vague shadow on the dragon's back, barely clear, Lu Lan. Boire muttered in a low voice.
All the red-robed mages present were stunned by the appearance of the dragon, but soon something that made them even more stunned happened.
There were bursts of whispers from the back of the dragon, and the strings of whispers were so small that almost no one could hear them clearly, but every red-robed mage heard them - it was as if a person was deliberately muttering vague words in his ear, and the hearts of a few ** masters with profound arcane attainments were beating with this burst of whispering, and they who were more sensitive to the arcane law, from these inexplicable whispers, tasted the power-shaking arcane law.
Realizing that the spell might threaten them, they quickly lifted their bodies into the air, far away from the area covered by the whispering voices, and the red-robed mages of the lower level saw that the high-level mages had already flashed, and their instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm also made them make a wise move - immediately flew away.
As soon as the red-robed mages flew away, they saw a light enveloping the mountain wall behind the mountain peak they had just stood, and the mountain wall became blurred under the light of the light, sending out a strong vibration.
All the mages breathed a sigh of relief, the power of this spell was not directed at them, it always relieved them.
But soon the effect of the spell surprised them, and although the light shining on the mountain wall became brighter and brighter, to the point that it was difficult for the human eye to see directly, it did not stop the observation of the red-robed mages, and when they saw what was happening in the light, they opened their mouths in shock.
The imposing walls and wide plazas rise from the top of the otherwise bare hill, and the weedy hillside gradually becomes a huge circular platform, surrounded by seats that resemble a domed arena, and the upper shade dome closes rapidly, and soon a palace-like semi-enclosed building rises from the ground.
Outside, brilliant flowers bloomed, and layers of green grass spread on the otherwise barren sandy ground. The original barren mountains and mountains have become a beautiful nursery garden, and a Chinese watch that does not see any totem stands in the middle of this garden, and the dragon in the sky disappeared in a flash of light, and the figure on the dragon's back slowly descended from the sky to the gate of the newly established building.
Still amazed, the red-robed mages turned their gaze to the dragonrider, who looked unexpected, dressed in a red robe, with tattoos on the top of his head as bright as theirs.
Under the sunlight, they suddenly had a feeling that this person could not look directly.
"Everyone, the venue is ready. Pleased with the intimidating power he had shown, Penny smiled and extended the invitation in a voice that everyone could hear.
Of course, no one will refuse him.
The mages descended from the half-open dome into the ornate and elaborate building with a sense of amazement, and sat down one after another.
If one of the protagonists has already arrived, then the meeting has naturally begun.
Although there was a cold stone bench underneath the buttocks, the eagerness made the red-robed mages ignore it.
