Heart of the Castle

Chapter 842 A Disaster Caused by a Wise Man (Part [-])

Applause, then silence.

Fire wizard Junoan Merister sat back in the high-backed chair with a cold face, crossed his ten fingers together in front of his chin, as if he was trying his best to endure the anger in his patience.Bamilian, the head of the palace, who had just made a bold attack on the Magicians Guild, seemed to realize what he had just said at this moment, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Master Merister, what I said just now was not aimed at you..." Director Bamilian just started his explanation, but was stopped by the fire magician with a decisive gesture. "You're right, Chief Bamilian, there's no need to apologize, it's just that I can't admit it for a while. The wise man Ermufasa may have been a wise and wise leader at the beginning, but since he crossed the boundary of legend Afterwards, wisdom turned into stubbornness, prudence turned into fear, and several branch leaders who were originally comparable in strength to him were either pushed out of the guild's top management, or died in various accidents..."

Master Merister suddenly choked up so much that he couldn't speak, and then buried his head deeply in his hands.

"With so many magicians gathered together, could it be that the sacrificial ceremony is being carried out?" Li Wei suddenly spoke, his voice breaking the silence. "Summoning the Great Lord of the Abyss who spread war and death to the world, even if President Ermufasa is too confident, are so many magicians unconscious?"

"The damage caused by a self-righteous wise man can often exceed a hundred ferocious demons." Mr. Dish commented with disdain, "It is obvious that these magicians are not unprepared. Although the picture does not look clear , but I can still recognize the magic circle they set up in the Iron Furnace Mountains—the magic ring recorded in the master-level alchemy secret method, and it is not the simplified version that was circulated later, but the most primitive form."

Others didn't show any surprise when they heard the name of the Demon Sealing Ring, but Master Merister suddenly raised his head, "The Demon Sealing Ring is the kind that can reduce the strength of the demons in it. One-tenth of the alchemy secret treasure?" After being affirmed by Mr. Dish, his eyes showed deep puzzlement. "Master Frederick, forgive me for offending me. The wise master Ermufasa has stepped into the legendary threshold as early as more than ten years ago. If he hadn't been opportunistic during the promotion process, he might have been able to go further. If the strength is Master Merister, who has been reduced to one tenth, can still destroy hundreds of magicians, and if Master Ermufasa is destroyed, then even if we gather all our strength, it will be difficult to escape from the hands of the abyss lord what."

"Amur Hydras has ignited the divine fire, and his strength is indeed very strong. But I don't think he can defeat a legendary magician, ten The members of the association including the two great magisters and hundreds of high-ranking magicians, not to mention the military support from the dwarf kingdom's army." Wearing a heavy armor, the Burning Dragon King Darija had been standing there just now. Listen, and speak slowly until then. "I think there must be something wrong with the Demon Sealing Ring, or there must be a traitor inside the Magician's Guild."

"Exactly, Your Majesty Darija, as if you have witnessed it with your own eyes." Mr. Dish gestured gracefully, and the picture in front of him began to be fragmented, flickering and changing, and the movements of the characters on it also seemed to be twitching at the same time. It's like time is suddenly speeding up.

It can be seen that those magicians are still very serious about the layout of the magic circle of the sealing ring. Wearing luxurious robes and holding faint lights, the [-] mentors of the general assembly seats are constantly shuttling back and forth in the air, checking the status of the magic circle. Every detail, some of the slightest errors, not to mention glaring omissions, were found and corrected.

As the layout of the magic circle in the picture was gradually completed, Master Merister's face became more and more ugly, "In any case, this magic ring is perfect in my eyes." He announced in a heavy tone, "Maybe Master Frederick, can you see what is wrong with it?"

"There is no problem overall. It is completely the most standard magic ring magic circle. It's just that some details are too rigid. If I am allowed to modify it, the effect can be increased by about half." Mr. Dish said in an authoritative tone. replied.

"So, it's not about the magic ring?"

"No, this magic circle shouldn't be used here at all. The terrain of the Iron Furnace Mountains is too complicated. They should use the simplified version." Mr. Dish's face became serious, "The most perfect magic ring magic The array has 24 nodes, and any small error in the orientation of any node will cause the energy transmission of the magic array to be blocked, thereby greatly reducing the overall performance. A master alchemist who doesn't buckle can't guarantee that there won't be any mistakes."

"That is to say, the problem lies with the person who provided the alchemy magic circle plan?" Li Wei expressed his guess with uncertainty.

"Whether it was a premeditated deliberate misleading, or an unintentional mistake due to insufficient alchemy knowledge, I am afraid it is difficult to determine now." Mr. Dish sighed. "The Iron Furnace Mountains have turned into a group of volcanoes that are erupting violently, and the Demon Sealing Ring has of course been completely destroyed."

Even though Mr. Dish sped up the screen, the setting of the Oculus Ring magic circle lasted for a long time. Many knights were moving their bodies restlessly. The patterns on it are interesting.Only the orc overlord Kalmos ate and drank without hesitation, and the sound of smacking his mouth was almost the only movement that broke the silence in the conference room.

Mr. Dish picked up the wine glass at hand, and took a sip of the golden liquid in the glass. "Herberti noble rot wine, full-bodied, the aroma of apricot and honey makes people linger, Lord Carmos, how do you feel?"

The orc overlord raised his head from an exceptionally fat and tender meat steak, with shredded meat still stuck in his teeth, "...not spicy enough." He answered vaguely, and then buried his head down again.

This answer made Mr. Dish's face a little stiff, but seeing several knights nodded in sympathy, he decided not to ask other people's evaluation of these precious liquors.Fortunately, there was another change on the screen at this time and space, which attracted everyone's attention.

Although they were also wearing long robes, but their costumes were very different from those of magicians, they appeared at the edge of the screen and slowly walked in along the periphery of the magic ring.A gleam of light flashed deep in Master Merister's eyes, and he blurted out immediately, "The robe and necklace of Master Scholar, those people are high-ranking members of the Scholar's Guild."

"Is the relationship between the Erudite Guild and the Wizards Guild always good?" Li Wei raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "The sacrifice ceremony should be a top-secret operation of the Wizards Guild, at least I didn't get any information from the Sleepless Eye. information."

"It should be said that President Al Yaf of the Erudite Guild has a good relationship with President Ermufasa of the Magician's Guild." Master Merister explained, "And I suspect that the plan to seal the magic ring is Al Yaf The president mentioned that he is also a very good alchemy master. When the Magician's Guild needs alchemy materials, it often buys them through the Erudite Guild. This is probably the reason why the Sleepless Eye information network has missed some. "

Bamilian, the head of the palace, stood up with some panic, "Your Excellency, I have overlooked some related clues, because I did not expect that the president of the Wizards Guild, Ermufasa, would be so mad..."

"It's not your fault, Boss Bamilian, no one thought that this kind of thing would happen." Li Wei shook his head, motioned Boss Bamilian to sit down, and then put his hands on his forehead, staring at the picture in front of him, I fell into deep thought.

In the picture, the two presidents obviously had a conversation. Although the picture is blurry, judging from the movements and postures, President Ermufasa is obviously very satisfied, while the posture of President Al Yaf is relaxed. Very low, even no different from those seat mentors in the General Assembly.

After the conversation between the two presidents was over, the twelve seat mentors from the Magician Guild and the ten red-robed scholars and masters from the Erudite Guild bowed and dispersed. Everyone chose a magic ring magic circle Afterwards, President Ermufasa also moved to his own node. Only President Al Yaf stayed in place, stroking the scholar necklace made of dozens of kinds of jewelry and precious metals on his neck with his right hand. There is no expression on the face, but it gives people a feeling of extreme uneasiness.

"Mouth, I bet, this old shrimp in red robe is definitely going to make trouble!" Governor Kalmos probably wanted to lower his voice, but the sound coming out of his mouth was still as deafening as a cracked stone. "If I, Kalmos? Bloody Roar, see this good-for-nothing, I'll slash him to the street with an axe!"

It is unreasonable for the wise man of the Magicians Guild, President Ermufasa, to ignore things that even a simple-minded orc can see. Perhaps this is why he is blinded by immediate interests and overinflated self-confidence.Just when there was a lot of discussion in the meeting room, the picture changed dramatically again. All the magicians raised their staffs high, while the dwarves retreated one after another. Obviously, they had been warned that the magic ring When it is about to start, you must not stay in the area of ​​the magic circle.
