Heart of the Castle

Chapter 841 The Disaster Caused by the Wise Ones
"Master Merister, your question is exactly what we want to know." Steward Bamilian replied, "Sir Clevermouth, the leader of the Raven scouts, has gone to the Iron Forge Mountains to find out the situation. According to part of the situation analysis she just sent back, the dwarven kingdom in the Iron Forge Mountains should have been destroyed by a very terrifying magic with a strong aura of the abyss."

"Even a legendary magician cannot destroy the dwarf kingdom by himself. Let alone the unique rune magic system of the dwarves, which is good at defense. Just the criss-crossing and dense underground passages in the Iron Furnace Mountains. It is an almost insurmountable natural danger." Juno Ameriste shook his head with a serious expression, "Any magic has its limit, Lord Bamilian, did you not take this into consideration when you analyzed it?"

"I can't believe my ears because of the horrific scene Sir Clever Mouth described." Steward Bamilian spread his hands helplessly, "But I believe she is not mistaken, the dwarf kingdom in the Iron Forge Mountains may be quite They are tenacious and difficult to deal with, but there is no legendary powerhouse among them. It is not surprising that they were devastated. As for the magic that destroyed the Iron Furnace Mountains, it is not non-existent. Although I know very little about the way of magic, at least I know One thing, the His Majesty standing on our side can launch a powerful magic that will destroy the entire Iron Forge Mountain Range."

"You mean to say that it is a taboo magic that is as expensive as Doomsday Storm?" Master Merister's expression was a bit strange, and his eyes were shining with strange light. "But as far as I know, there is no second one among the seven lords of the abyss who can activate forbidden magic as powerful as the doomsday storm. The plague lord Yinchen Samael may be able to turn the Iron Furnace Mountains into barren land, but that At least it will take a long time to brew."

"I believe that the demon that destroyed the dwarf kingdom is Amurhydras, the great lord of the abyss himself." Mr. Dish said solemnly, "and the defense of the dwarf kingdom is not as indestructible as it appears on the surface. These gems, mines and forging are regarded as The guys of life built their homes in the volcanic group, and used the high-heat magma to purify and forge metals. This is also the origin of the name Iron Furnace Mountains. Amur Hydras only needs to evoke the turmoil of the underground flames, and the rest is It can be completely handed over to the ground fire magma that is out of control."

"It turns out that the destruction came from the ground instead of falling from the sky, so the defense methods formed by the dwarves using the underground passages are completely ineffective." Master Merister nodded again and again, "More questions have been answered, and now there is only one thing that cannot be explained It is very difficult for the Great Lord of the Abyss to come to the world. It is necessary to destroy the seven protective nodes called wedges. Now the Evergreen Tower and the City of Glory among the seven wedges are firmly in our hands, Amor Haide What kind of means did Lars show up in the world, and then destroy the Mithril Hall, which is also one of the wedges, together with the Dwarf Kingdom?"

"As one of the creators of the sacred mystical circle, I can tell you responsibly that destroying the seven wedges is not the only way to disable the magic circle. Through complicated sacrificial rituals and the first legendary magician His sacrifice can also summon the Great Lord of the Abyss to descend." Mr. Dish could clearly see the sadness and a trace of unconcealable indignation on his face.

"How dare you summon the Great Sovereign of the Abyss through a sacrificial ceremony?" Master Merister looked shocked, "Who did it? How dare he?"

"I've made it very clear just now that this ceremony must be hosted by a legendary magician. Master Merister, apart from you, is there any other magician on the mainland who has a legendary rank?" Mr. Dish said softly. Inspired by the language.

"The president of the Wizards Guild."

"Of course Ermufasa the Wise, who else?"

Several voices yelled in unison, and the voice of Bamilian, the chief of the court, was sharp and thin, which was particularly eye-catching, "No wonder the Wizards Guild has recently purchased a large amount of mithril and precious stones, so that the prices on the market have all appeared. The fluctuations. Gods above, why didn't I think that there is such a possibility?"

"Even if we think about it, what can we do?" Li Wei sighed, with heavy worries all over his forehead, "Mr. Dish, please explain the sacrificial ceremony in detail, we are going to face Amur right now. Is Hydras and hundreds of thousands of demons attacking?"

"Master Li Wei, luckily among the misfortunes, we don't have to worry about a sudden army of demons appearing on the border in a short time." Mr. Dish shook his head lightly, trying to make his tone as relaxed as possible. The Great Lord of the Abyss in the world has been severely weakened, and coupled with the huge power consumed by the destruction of the Iron Furnace Mountains, it will take at least two weeks for Amur Hydras to recover more than half of his power and open enough for the demon army to pass through. The plane portal also takes time."

"That is to say, we still have two to three weeks of preparation time?" Cedric, Earl of the White Wolf, said in a hoarse voice, "Master Frederick, can't we take the initiative to take advantage of the weakness of the Abyss Lord, Shall we eradicate the root cause of this disaster in one fell swoop?"

"If a legendary powerhouse wants to deliberately hide his whereabouts, it will be an impossible task to find him." Mr. Dish tried his best to force a smile, "After the news from the smart mouth, I I used alchemy and prophecy magic to try to figure out the location of the Great Lord of the Abyss, and I even noticed some signs a few times, but in the end it was still unsuccessful, and I only got some fragments of the sacrificial ceremony.”

"Master Frederick, can you disclose those images? Some clues are better than none."

Mr. Dish thought for a while, nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, but these pictures are restored through prophecy magic, and they are not clear or coherent, so don't place too much hope on them."

As the old magician raised the wooden cane in his hand, the fires burning in the fireplaces on both sides of the meeting room suddenly dimmed, and the crystal ball placed in the middle of the long table emitted a faint light, and some blurred and trembling silent pictures were played The air is revealed one by one.

At the very beginning, there was a pitch-black distant mountain, and then there was a canyon surrounded by mountains. Li Wei opened his eyes and tried to identify it, and finally saw that this was a corner of the Iron Furnace Mountains. I saw the same terrain in my geography class, but it was a hand-drawn picture on parchment.Countless tiny stars swayed and swayed in the canyon. Li Wei originally thought that those were dwarves holding torches, but after the screen moved forward, he realized that his guess was only half right.There are indeed many dwarves active in the canyon, but most of them are magicians wearing various robes.

Magicians are far more rare occupations than knights. Not only are ordinary people rarely seen, even local lords who hold real power may not be able to see magicians a few times.Talent and wisdom have become the two shackles that restrict the number of magicians, and there is no tricky method such as bestowing vindictive seeds.

Some young magicians accept funding from great nobles, and then return with the power and knowledge they have gained, but there are not many magicians who choose to do this. They are definitely more popular in the magical world, and the scholarship provided by the Magician's Union can also allow them to maintain a good standard of living without accepting gifts and subsidies.

Given Levi's current status, he certainly wouldn't be curious about magicians. After all, the fire magician was sitting not far from him, but he had never seen so many robed magicians gather together. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"My gods, there are so many magicians." Li Wei cried out in surprise when he heard a voice. "But why have I never seen them in the royal capital Fermeyer?"

"Of course, because those mages are all members of the Mage Guild, since they put on the golden pointed hat badges representing the members of the Mage Association on their chests, they will automatically leave their nationality and become a Mage Guild that does not belong to any force. A member of the guild." The fire mage Juno Ann Merister, who once served as the branch president of the Wizards Guild in the Kingdom of Arthur, explained.

"That is to say, as long as you become a member of the General Assembly of the Magician's Guild, you can give up your obligations to the motherland as a citizen." Although the tone of the court chief Bamilian was soft, it was as sharp as a whip.

"Master Bamilian, please allow me to remind you that the Wizards Guild is an absolutely neutral organization." Master Merister reminded with some dissatisfaction.

"The Wizards Guild can maintain a neutral position, but magicians can't." Bamilian's voice of retort almost sounded later, "I don't mean disrespect, Master Merister, but I must say, as a subject of the Kingdom of Arthur, Even if he puts on the coat of a member of the Wizards Guild, he still has an indelible obligation to the motherland... It would be too bad to deny this."

Master Merister was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone became much more cautious. "What do you mean by too bad, Chief Bamilian?"

"A person who betrays his motherland is a rootless apple, and a person who loses his bondage is a sword without a handle." The court chief may have never spoken in such a righteous tone in his life, and the armor he was wearing made everyone present Many knights couldn't help feeling a little respectful. "They have a void in their hearts that must be filled by arrogance, so when someone rises up and threatens their status, they will take risks and make unpredictable actions."
