Talos waved his hand, "The Tower of Depths is nothing, it can't possibly sink Dragon Island. It's just the corpses of some mages below the third rank, what can they do? There's no need to bother Teacher Erina with such a trivial matter."
Ryan insisted, "The Northern Alliance thought the same way at first, and only allowed their high-ranking mages to appear after the Abyss Gate was opened. Even so, it caused the tragedy of a town being frozen. We cannot ignore the harm caused by the heretics just because their actions seem small."
Ryan was present at the scene of the incident in Leytes City and knew that when these heretics started causing trouble, it was a gradual escalation. Underestimating them could really lead to the sinking of Dragon Island.
Ryan is the strongest genius mage of this generation. His team can easily kill fourth-tier mages by using dragon language magic. If they all reach the fourth tier, even Talos would probably be no match for them.
Talos still valued the brilliant idea.
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's investigate further. If we still have no clue by tonight, I'll contact Professor Erina and let him decide. But it's best not to disturb him."
A chaotic battle between mages below the third rank resulted in the bizarre disappearance of flesh and blood, yet this 'minor matter' had to alarm Erina and be handled by her. Talos felt that once the matter was resolved, it would be time for him to be held accountable.
Talos pondered for a moment, then made a decision, "Let's ask that person to come and take a look; perhaps she knows something."
Investigating heresy was not his forte.
This kind of thing can't be solved with a simple investigation; it requires professionals.
Coincidentally, there was such a "professional" on Dragon Island.
……
Deep inside the volcano.
Pera, who was guarding Shalin, glanced down at her bracelet.
"A bunch of sorcerers' flesh and blood mysteriously vanished? Want to invite me to investigate?"
Pera looked up at Raphael, who was still there.
"President..."
“Go,” Raphael said calmly. “You are now working for Dragon Island, so there is no need for you to refuse.”
"But you said the actions of heretics are..."
"Don't worry about it. I didn't approve of his approach anyway. Just do your job."
“Nashalin…”
"I'll be watching."
"Okay, I'll be right back."
Pera left, and Raphael opened his eyes, looked at Shalin who was still trying to call upon the gods, and sighed in disappointment.
really……
Still not working?
Chapter 494 The Holy Maiden Has Been Driven Away
Somewhere outside Dragon Island.
"Your Excellency, in this matter, are you truly certain that you did not secretly provide her with any guidance?"
Daisina, one of the four witches of the Tower of Fallen, known as the Witch of Love, looked at the phantom shrouded in black robes before her and asked in a deep voice.
"We are willing to cooperate with you, not so that we can do the work for you."
The illusory figure turned its head and said calmly, "It's not that I want to use your arrangements as a wedding dress, but that you have made a mistake in choosing the right person this time. Besides, she did not come here under my guidance; it's all just a coincidence."
The Witch of Love scoffed: "Is that so? The destruction of the Deep Sea Aid Society is also related to the descending body you designated. Is that a coincidence?"
The phantom looked at her and after a long while slowly said, "It's a coincidence. I have never had any contact with her. There's no need to hide this from you. But don't forget, the Age of Calamity did not completely eliminate the remnants of the old era. I am just one of them."
"That kind of purification technique that can suppress the power of the abyss..."
"It's not just me. The president of the Hiro Society, my friend who is sleeping in the far north, and those friends who are silent in the ruins can also do it. Unfortunately, the ruins of one of my friends have been discovered. The Descended Body once entered them, so it's possible that he taught me."
"Why don't you go and confirm it with him?"
The illusory figure remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "We'll talk about it later."
Daisy's eyes flickered; she sensed that this mysterious and powerful sorcerer seemed unwilling to meet his friend who was holed up in the ruins.
After a moment's thought, Daisy said calmly, "I don't want her to interfere with our operations. I will find a way to get rid of her. I hope you won't stop me. Don't worry, I won't hurt her."
The illusory figure said, "Okay."
Just as Daisina was about to leave, the illusory voice came: "If you fail, I hope you can give those things to her by chance, so that she can improve as soon as possible."
Daisy paused for a moment, then turned around and said calmly, "As long as she doesn't get involved, there's absolutely no chance of failure, even if Dragon Island has already noticed."
The phantom figure let the Witch of Love leave, and after a moment, shook its head.
“I told you long ago, Erina’s advancement has little to do with the fire spirit. That was just an opportunity. The real conditions are extreme luck and talent, and... mastering divinity.”
"And you... are merely puppets of lesser deities, corrupted by the abyss. How can you possibly break through that limit?"
The phantom's eyes flickered.
“Raphael would not allow you to do such a thing.”
……
evening.
Celia and Anko are packing their luggage.
"Oh dear, I've been kicked out. Anke won't be able to see the battle for the Essence of Fire tomorrow."
Anke was very disappointed.
Celia said, "Our identities are rather sensitive. They definitely won't let us compete for something like the Essence of Fire, even if our chances of getting it are about the same as if we suddenly found a fire spirit on our way back."
Anke turned her gaze to Celia: "I feel like the probability of finding it on the road is higher. What if we really do find it?"
Celia rolled her eyes: "..."
Anko adjusted her glasses, packed everything up, and then put it into Celia's ring.
"Let's go."
The two came out of the room, and outside the door was a fifth-tier mage, not Talos, but another vice-captain of the dragon riders.
The other party was very indifferent, looked at the two of them, and made a gesture of invitation.
"Please, I will see you off."
"The Blue Dragon really values us too much, sending a fifth-tier mage to see us off," Celia exclaimed.
The deputy commander's eye twitched.
Who told you to be able to easily defeat Tier 4?
Only those at the fifth rank can reliably monitor you.
Celia stopped next to the vice-captain, turned around and asked, "May I ask one last question?"
"Sure, but I can't guarantee an answer," the deputy commander said coldly.
Celia said, "I'm very curious. The Dragon Island volcano belongs to Dragon Island. Even when it's not erupting, the volcanic rocks and such are very important resources. You can't possibly not mine them."
"When volcanic rocks are brought out by volcanic eruptions and are easy to collect, since you have surrounded the volcano and set up magic arrays, why don't you take people to collect them yourselves, instead of letting others collect them and only charging a small fee?"
Under normal circumstances, the money paid is naturally less than the cost of buying directly. For an item worth 100 silver coins, they only charge 50-80 silver coins, making a profit of 20-50 silver coins.
Although it's a small amount, it seems... not really necessary?
The deputy leader said calmly, "Because volcanic eruptions are very dangerous, only second-tier or higher mages can enter. The things that are spewed out are just common materials. It's better to let others enjoy the pleasure of collecting materials, which can also save on collection costs."
These statements are similar to those used in the propaganda for Dragon Island Volcano.
There's even more publicity.
Besides saying that it would let everyone experience the joy of picking up trash, they also said something about boosting the tourism industry on Long Island.
A volcanic eruption that only occurs once every ten years or so does attract countless people to search for treasure, although the treasures found must be "taxed".
Besides the treasure hunters, many ordinary people from other places were also attracted to witness this once-in-a-decade volcanic eruption.
These factors did indeed boost Dragon Island's revenue; in the days leading up to the volcanic eruption, hotels were fully booked and the island was packed with people.
However, Celia always felt that it wasn't that simple.
However, judging from the deputy commander's demeanor, this matter is probably very secret, and he would never tell them.
Celia had no choice but to give up.
Under the supervision of the deputy commander, the two left Dragon Island.
As they parted, the deputy commander said casually, "If you two want to come next time, remember to let us know in advance. Dragon Island welcomes you, but sneaking in like this time makes it hard for us to guarantee you don't have other intentions. If we find out, it won't be as simple as it was this time."
Neither Celia nor Anko paid any attention and left directly.
Anke kept her eyes on the vice-captain watching them leave, and whispered, "What if they send people to hunt us down?"
Celia pretended to sense something and said, "They didn't chase us; they really did let us go. But there are shadow mages watching us in the shadows."
Anke frowned. "Why are you still monitoring me?"
"They might not withdraw until we leave the Blue Dragon Empire's borders, or..."
Celia narrowed her eyes slightly, pulled Anke up, and said, "I have a way to shake them off. Hold on to me, don't let go."
"Oh, okay." Anke was taken aback, but agreed. Suddenly, she felt that Celia's temperament seemed to have changed.
There was something... very strange about him, which made her feel a little awkward.
It felt like being held by a man.
Before she could say anything, 'Celia' turned her head and said with a half-smile, "Take out your flying machine and use it."
"Ah good."
The awkward feeling became even stranger.
Chapter 495 It's over, Anke has been corrupted by the evil god.
For some reason, Anke felt her face getting hot, and she couldn't help but wonder if she also had Doris's strange fetish.
Upon thinking about it, she felt a chill run down her spine and confirmed that she didn't have such strange thoughts.
Anke's aircraft can carry people. It is shaped like an alchemy bottle, almost transparent, with two small seats inside and a transparent door that can be opened to go inside.
After Anke was pulled inside by 'Celia', before she could even sit properly, the sudden acceleration caused her to lean back, and she instinctively grabbed Celia's hand tightly.
A moment later, she calmed down, but the extreme speed still made her grit her teeth and endure several Gs of acceleration as the earth rushed backward.
Fortunately, the aircraft slowly came to a stop after a short while, and she looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the aircraft was not damaged.
Anke, her hands trembling, adjusted her askew glasses. "Xi-Xilia, your speed reminds me of that gust of wind that knocked me over in first grade."
"What?" Celia asked, puzzled.
Anke said, "When I was in first grade, I was collecting materials in the Forbidden Forest when a strong gust of wind suddenly blew me down and I accidentally swallowed some dirt. It wasn't until later that I learned that it was an older student having a flying competition."
As she spoke, An Ke gritted her teeth and said, "Don't let An Ke catch that guy, or I'll make him eat three pounds of dirt!"
First grade? Flying competition? Strong winds?
Having regained control of her body, Celia felt a pang of guilt; Anko actually had such a secret.
I absolutely cannot let her know that it was my fault.
“Celia’s speed in piloting the aircraft is about the same as that mysterious senior student,” Anke said, shaking his head. “Of course, Anke knows that Celia wouldn’t do such a thing. We had only just learned to fly back then, and such underground competitions on campus were too far removed from our lives.”
If I remember correctly, Doris seems to know I'm participating? Celia thought to herself, maybe I should go back and kill her to silence her.
But Doris probably didn't know she had won the game?
Alright, let's let her off the hook for now.
Doris, who was fighting her way through the ruins, had no idea that she had just escaped death.
Anke looked up and around, asking in confusion, "Where are we?"
Surrounded by high mountains, with no villages or cities, Anke had no idea where she was.
Celia said, "We're still near Dragon Island. We can see the volcanic eruption from outside Dragon Island, and we should also be able to see the mages fighting over the essence of fire."
