Anthony is 63 years old this year. Unlike the old Bell, he is still very healthy, his hands and feet are as flexible as young people, and he is also very energetic. He looks like he will live to be a hundred years old.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, he was still at the East Valley Academy of Magic. By 8 o'clock, he had already teleported to Hot Spring City. He has basically finalized the candidate.
Going out with the army is not an easy job. Although magicians will receive some preferential treatment, they still have certain requirements for physical fitness. Therefore, the magicians participating in the army this time are not over 40 years old. In Anthony's plan, this The chief magician of this operation is none other than Darris, who is known as the number one genius of the academy's young generation.
Darius was only 30 years old, and he had already grown into a level 4 magician. His future was limitless. Anthony saw the shadow of his past from him, so he gave him this opportunity to accumulate qualifications and reputation.
Originally, his disciple Verola was also very good, but unfortunately she is a woman. In the magical world, the situation of men superior to women is not serious. Many powerful magicians are women, but a woman, especially a woman who is too beautiful, appears in the army ACCIT is not a good thing.
At 6:00 p.m., Anthony attended a sumptuous dinner specially prepared for him by King Ryan. After some perfunctory greetings, when it was 8:00 p.m., Anthony also left on time and rushed to the teleportation tower in the palace to prepare back to school.
So far, everything has been in line with his plan, and there have been no unplanned variables. Anthony is very satisfied with this trip to the capital.
Anthony didn't like to participate in these trivial matters, but he was the dean of the East Valley School of Magic, so he took a day to deal with it. Now that the matter was over, he didn't want to stay for a moment.
In the flickering magic light, Anthony returned to the East Valley School of Magic where he had lived for nearly forty years.
After walking down from the teleportation tower to teleport the rune, Anthony frowned. He felt that today's academy seemed a little different.
Under the teleportation rune, the magician Maxim who was in charge of maintaining the operation of the teleportation tower was standing there quietly, his brows were slightly frowned, his face was gloomy, and something was bothering him.
"Maxim, what's the matter?" Anthony also frowned. With his white beard and hair spread out in all directions, his broad nose, thick lips, and a pair of round long eyes, his image was not angry and majestic.
Maxim immediately saluted and said anxiously: "Dean, something serious happened."
"explain."
Anthony's face sank immediately, the air around his body was suddenly extremely oppressive, and the elements in the environment began to stir uncomfortably, and a faint cyclone appeared in the air, which was the power of a level 7 great magician.
Maxim's forehead was soaked in cold sweat. He knew that the master's temper was extremely hot. Although he was getting older and restrained, he would not do anything casually, but this kind of spiritual pressure alone was enough to make people drink. It's a pot, and if it's an ordinary person, they might get seriously ill from fright.
"Dean, I don't know the specific situation. However, all the masters are already waiting in the Hall of Truth, and you will know when you arrive."
The Hall of Truth, the venue for the highest-level meeting of the Academy of Magic, the magicians who are eligible to attend must be the elite of the academy with a minimum level of level 3.
Now that all the masters are present, something must have happened.
Anthony frowned so tightly that even Maxim, a level 5 magician, had to hide it, which indirectly showed the seriousness of the situation.
Resisting his temper, Anthony followed Maxim and walked all the way to the Hall of Truth in the northeast corner of the college.
Along the way, they would meet some magic apprentices. These magic apprentices didn't seem to notice the changes in the academy, and they all looked as usual. When they saw him, the dean, they all saluted from a distance, and then hurried away.
This discovery made Anthony feel slightly satisfied. Although the accident made him very unhappy, the high-level officials of the college blocked the news very well, and the situation did not come to an end. This is very good.
Five minutes later, the two arrived at the gate of the Hall of Truth.
The magic barrier of the Hall of Truth has been activated, and a semicircular lavender barrier covers the entire hall, making it impossible to feel all the internal conditions from the outside.
At the entrance of the main hall, there is a thick magic door. Maxim walked up first and opened the magic door. Through the door, you can see that there are not many people in the main hall, only a few figures, and most of them are pale-haired old magician.
Maxim did not enter the hall, but moved aside. Anthony took a deep breath, walked into the hall, and then sealed the magic door behind him.
He glanced around the spacious hall, and found five old men sitting on the long table at the top of the hall, they were members of the six-member council, namely Glenn Tie, Fontelin, Vossminlen, and Hansweizer. , Andorra, but only Bell is missing.
Seeing him appear, all five of them stood up and called the dean.
In the center of the hall, there were two young men standing, a man and a woman. The woman was very familiar to him. She was his most admired disciple, Moira. , the magic energy aura on this person is very strong, not lower than level 4.
"Who is this?" Anthony was extremely surprised. A level 4 magician who is less than 20 years old, such a genius is enough to disdain the entire Ferroman continent, how could he appear in the East Valley Academy of Magic? Who could this be? Could it be Weaver of the Southern Federation of Wizards
Vivier, only 19 years old, his magic power has reached the peak of level 4, and he is known as the number one magic genius of the human race.
Link took a step forward, pressed his chest with one hand, and hung the other behind his waist, bowed slightly, and gave a mage salute: "I am Link Molainey, the apprentice of the wizard Bell."
"Ah? Oh, so it's you... I've read your paper... By the way, where's Bell?" Anthony was very surprised. If there was a big event, the six-member council should gather together. Why was he missing
This strange phenomenon temporarily suppressed his curiosity about Link.
Verola took a step forward and let out a long sigh: "Teacher, Master Bell is there."
She pointed to the dark corner next to the main hall, and Anthony looked over, and saw three figures by the wall, all of them had the brilliance of magic imprisonment.
At the first glance, Anthony didn't see it clearly. When he took a few steps closer and squinted his eyes for a closer look, he suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Among these three people, one of them was scorched black, his hair was burnt to the ground, his breathing was weak, his appearance was very miserable and terrifying, but compared to the appearance of the two around him, this person was childish.
The muscles of these two people were extremely atrophied, leaving almost only a layer of skin. The whole person looked like a skeleton. One of them still had a blue light like will-o'-the-wisp shining in his eyes. Feeling it carefully, suddenly there was a cold and biting breath hitting his face.
"How could there be a lich?! Bell, is that you?" Anthony shouted out of composure. He knew in advance that the situation was serious, but he never thought that it would reach such an appalling level.
Although Bell was beyond recognition, Anthony had known him for nearly forty years, and he immediately recognized that the ugliest and most terrifying guy was his former colleague, the magician Bell.
The man moved and sighed helplessly, "Anthony, it's me."
The matter has come to this point, Bell is heartbroken, and he is no longer in the crazy state before.
"What happened? Did he harm you?" Anthony walked up quickly, pointing his wand at Sandu beside Bell. He still couldn't believe that Bell would go on the road of black magic.
Bell sighed: "It's my own choice. Old friend, I let you down."
At this time, Bell had already calmed down. The matter had reached this point, and it was irreversible. He didn't ask for himself to live, but only for a peaceful death.
Anthony was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he turned and looked at Moira: "Moira, tell me what happened."
Verola nodded, and then she accidentally discovered the black magic aura from Bell's disciple Darius, and she became suspicious, and then asked Link to help investigate, and when the truth was about to come to light, Darris attacked Link in a sneak attack, but was defeated instead. Speaking of Bell's escape into the Black Magic Tower in the Misty Forest, and then being defeated, all the way through, except for the details of the battle being vaguely mentioned by Verola, the rest is not missing.
After she finished speaking, Anthony took a deep look at Link. Although Verola's words were brief, the danger in it was naturally hidden from him, and there were some strange things in it that he couldn't figure out, but this is not the time to ask these questions. when.
He turned to look at Bell: "Old friend, do you have anything else to say?"
Bell was frustrated, and shook his head: "I have failed completely, and I have nothing to say."
"Daris, what about you?" Anthony looked at Bell's chief disciple again.
Darius was seriously injured, and now he was facing Anthony's coercion again. He was almost out of breath, and murmured: "I... I don't want to die!"
Anthony took a long breath and fell silent. After a long time, he turned his head and looked at the 6-member council with 5 members left: "Everyone, Bell went the wrong way, but he didn't make a big mistake. His magic knowledge is admirable." , I propose to completely imprison his magic power and imprison him forever in the Tower of Azura (Note: Academy Magic Cage). As for Darris, completely imprison his magic power and hand it over to the River Valley Town Court for trial. And this... "
"He is Shandu, a level 5 necromancer." Verola reminded.
"Sandu, right? This person has committed a heinous crime. I suggest that he be punished by flame purification immediately."
The five magic masters discussed in whispers, and some people felt that Bell's punishment was too light. In fact, there was evidence that Bell killed a coachman of the college... But this matter was wisely not mentioned, and the dean's face is still What I want to give is that Bell used to be their colleague. Although he became the ghost he is now, no one is willing to make the last ruthless attack. After some discussion, the magic master Glenn Xi, who ranked second in the academy's magic achievement, stood up. Said: "Dean, we collectively approve your proposal."
These are matters at the highest level of the academy, and Verola and Link can only watch on. When the decision is made, the fate of Bell, Sandu, and Darris will be settled and cannot be changed.
Bell was speechless, not knowing what he was thinking. Darius' eyes were blank, and he collapsed to the ground. As for Sandu, he has not spoken. After the soul fire was seriously injured, he knew that he had no chance, and the time after that was just sealed.
Anthony looked at Verola and Link again, and there was a hint of relief on the heavy face: "You risked your life to expose the darkness of the academy, and you were very considerate, and saved the face of the academy. Your courage, wisdom and understanding, You deserve to be rewarded!"
