On November 25th, the mages walked out of the hotel early in the morning and started rushing towards Pasha'er Tower like office workers. This magnificent scene really made Kron and Strange deeply moved—in the eastern part of the kingdom, the academic environment of magicians was closed, and there was a serious barrier between them, so there was no such positive atmosphere at present.
"I didn't expect that I could see mages from different magic towers sitting together and listening to other people's academic lectures..."
Strange's Magic Tower is located in a remote location, and it is common for him to be bored for a year without seeing anyone. Sometimes he makes academic achievements and wants to share them with others, but he always finds that he has been silent for too long, and he can't even talk about it. .
"If we simply gathered the mages together, no one would be willing to take out these things." Kron shook his head, he knew exactly what the mages were thinking: "Seeing the magicians makes life easier." Only those of us who can’t afford to catch up with the magic level of our minds will be honest; seeing that sharing academic achievements can get more rewards than what we pay, we have this scene. So the wealth of Elson City is far from what you and I see on the surface The city lord is really good at using such intangible things as 'knowledge'."
The two talked like this, naturally, because they made another deal with Camilla after they signed the "Magic" magazine manuscript contract—thirty charged crystals were rewarded with "the first speech of the magister" The name was sent directly to the laboratory of the two without any written agreement. Camilla only verbally "hoped that the two can play a leading role."
So they became the first batch of magisters to give speeches.
Walking to the bottom of the Pasha'er Demon Tower at this time, seven wooden signs with different colors have pointed out the direction to the seven "meeting halls", and the mages of the "Elson Magic Research Department" also stopped at this time study, and participate in uniformed robes. Here, as long as you are a registered mage, you can come in and out at will, and if you have been listening in the magic tower for a long time, you can also eat directly in the restaurant in the magic tower.
The meeting place that was thought to be chaotic is now orderly. Along the bright marble steps, the magic tower that originally belonged to the demigod Khadgar really dazzled many mages.
But at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly came from the square outside the magic tower—"Why? Why arrest me?!"
It seems that there was some conflict between the merchants selling things in the square and the city management staff of Elson, and the two sides argued. However, just when the mages looked away and were about to walk into the magic tower without paying attention, there was a loud bang!
"Bang bang bang!"
Violent spell fluctuations erupted undisguisedly, and the four members of the congregation dressed as traders knew that they might have exposed their identities, so they wanted to blast away the soldiers who blocked them and prepared to evacuate on the spot. But their spells were directly blocked by the invisible barrier, and the successive "arcane explosions" didn't even wrinkle the clothes of the "urban management" team members.
Camilla in a red robe descended from the air, and without seeing her make any gestures to cast spells, the invisible force pressed down like a mountain, causing the four of them to lie on the ground in exclaim!
Although "Arcane" can simulate all kinds of elemental spells, it has a very unique advantage in "control"—four not weak "Holy Society" arcanists desperately resisted trying to get up, and tore the scroll again. They opened rings, necklaces or magic crystals again, but all their skills seemed to stop at the invisible barrier three meters in front of them. After the "crackling" light passed, it didn't have any effect at all...
But Camilla, who landed in front of them, had a gloomy expression, because she saw an arcanist in the barrier recognized her and was yelling something. But because of the existence of the enchantment, the mages watching this scene couldn't hear the content at all.
Camilla raised her hand and pressed down, and the few guys who were still trying to resist were completely pressed to the ground by an invisible force. She waved her hand to remove the barrier, and said to the soldiers next to her, "These four people are trying to disrupt the order of the meeting place, arrest them and take them away!"
"yes!"
The special "Arcane Imprisonment Chain" was quickly buckled on the hands and feet of the four people. Camilla deliberately sealed their mouths with spells. As a result, these people could only stare blankly when various magic items were found on the spot. But unable to speak.
The four of them were quickly removed by the soldiers, and the mages in the bustling square and under the magic tower also dispersed amid unfinished discussions. Camilla sent a mage to the front of the magic tower to read out the "results of handling the incident", which reassured all the mages.
However, this accident also allowed most mages to intuitively see the strength of Camilla, the "guardian" for the first time-four high-level mages played all their cards, but were still held down without any suspense. The gap made the mages who were a little bit disdainful of her suddenly feel a chill down their backs...
They naturally don't know that while Elson City is developing rapidly, it is actually rapidly improving Camilla's strength. The more prosperous the city and the stronger its energy, the stronger Camilla's ability will be. A year ago, Camilla's strength might have been above the threshold of a magister, but now... Apart from her own lack of knowledge of magic, she is basically not afraid of any magister's attack by using the city's nearly infinite magic power .
Although Camilla showed her hand, she was not in a good mood at this time. After the four "holy congregation" arcanists left, they left in a hurry.
She was so preoccupied that she naturally didn't notice the other team not far away who watched all this.
Elder Dominique was still dressed as a mercenary at this time, leaning against the door of the bar fifty meters away, pretending to be watching the excitement. Because of the protection of the "constant temperature barrier", the temperature in the city is suitable, and there is no need to wear a thick cloak to keep out the cold in winter, so the other arcanists are also chatting and farting outside.
As "actors", they were very involved in the play at this time, and even pointed at the four arrested compatriots of the "Holy Society". Even though they were all afraid and envious of Camilla's power, they still wanted Said words like "Tossing in Elson City, isn't this courting death?"
"Okay, we're almost done resting."
Dominique's words seemed casual, but they represented a signal that the action was entering the preparation stage. Originally, he planned to wait and see, but after witnessing the performance of other mages today, he immediately confirmed a fact: Elson City's performance in all aspects showed absolute "strength", which made everyone feel short. So there is the current order.
But this also means... When Camilla encounters an emergency, the mages watching will not choose to assist in the first place!
The four "holy congregation" members who became bait will not reveal any information, so the next three days are the best time to make a move.
Dominic stretched out his hand to support the pendant worn on his body, and looked greedily at the Pasha'er Demon Tower.
This place... will soon become the headquarters of the "Holy Meeting".

November 27.
In just two days, the mages quickly adapted to the "communication meeting" method in Elson City. Because resources and academics suddenly opened the "sharing era", most mages felt an indescribable "severe impact"—as many people expected before, this kind of "sharing" can definitely promote the development of the Karen Kingdom. The level of magic has taken a big step forward. But at the same time, those who pretend to be tricks and pretend to be ghosts are bound to be quickly eliminated under this general trend.
The saying "True gold is not afraid of fire" definitely applies to the current scene. Many previously unknown mages became famous for publishing insightful papers, and were even quickly voted to give a second report ten days later. And at least four or five high-level magicians who were well-known in the kingdom received bad reviews from most people after their high-spirited speeches, and it was spread as a joke for a while.
A fair and sound system no longer uses personal fame as the criterion for judging, but completely sets "academic level" as the main indicator. Even if most mages haven't published any cutting-edge explanations, they are still excited about it. As a result, the mages who held a wait-and-see attitude in advance began to apply for a large number of speeches, and the "forum" schedule of the entire magic tower was immediately arranged for a month later.
All kinds of thesis reports dazzled the mages. In the Pashaer Demon Tower, you can often see figures rushing to various venues with leather bags. Speech—but unlike them, Kardashian the Frost Wyrm isn't interested.
Strength is a factor, but in fact the main reason is that she doesn't like to do these researches. The power of the dragon clan is innate, and the magic system learned also comes from the inheritance of thousands of years, which is far more profound than these small things in the human magic world. Kardashian, who was doted on by her father, didn't like studying when she was young, but was often forced to read a lot of books, which made her dislike this kind of research very much now.
In the magic tower, after listening to two reports as a "low-level mage", she rejected the invitations of some mages on the grounds that she "didn't understand" and slipped out to hang out in Elson City ——In comparison, the leather shop that can customize "high heels" found today is really much more interesting than those boring reports.
Dragons also love beauty, especially female dragons. In Kardashian's Lair, there are far more jewels of human craftsmen than magical props to illustrate this problem. Right now, this shop is the place where Roddy specially made "high heels" for Merlinsera. After getting Roddy's permission, Fink, the smart boss, quickly made many derivative versions and sold them in the city of Elson. The aristocratic circle of the store has sold out all over the world-Kardashian just passed by and glanced at the window, and was fascinated by the stunning look... Nothing else, just three words: buy, buy, buy!
But when she came in to chat, she realized that buying a pair of high heels is not as simple as paying for the goods. There are already more than a dozen orders in the city of Elson, and each customizer has to come to the store for several days to measure the size. Kardashian was very itchy, wishing to show her real identity to force the other party to do it for herself first, but when she thought of scaring Rody, she finally endured the idea—after all, she could make it ahead of time if Roddy ordered it. got it, no
Thinking in this way, she spent a lot of money to order three pairs of shoes with different styles.
The preliminary measurement takes three days. Kardashian is not young, so she doesn't even have the patience for this. She readily agreed, and then left the shop with the order in her hand. Not long after she walked out, she realized that someone was following her, but this feeling disappeared quickly.
Kardashian can lock the follower without turning her head. She found that the other party didn't seem to have any other meanings. She probably followed her for two hundred meters just out of curiosity about her identity, so she didn't bother to track down the other party—to say it is not an exaggeration Well, even if these human beings are all mages, they are almost like ants in Kardashian's eyes. With my status, why should I worry that ants can pose a threat
So she was not interested in looking back to find the other party at all, and continued to stroll around the busy street swaggeringly.
However, Kardashian didn't know that this kind of "indifference" attitude was becoming a portrayal of "insufficient strength" in the eyes of Magister Tucker.
"I went to investigate, and she has no intersection with the magic circle of the Karen Kingdom. She is said to be a mage from a foreign country." Nei’s report was not very interesting, instead she went to a cobbler’s shop to order shoes. According to the rules here, in the next three days, she should go again…”
"Understood."
Magister Tucker turned to look at Blanche beside him. Both of them confirmed the target and nodded tacitly.

When the conspiracy in Elson City was gradually brewing, Rody, who had been running along the road from the port, finally returned to the city.
Because he suddenly decided to accelerate back to the city halfway without notifying anyone else, so there was no welcome team at the city gate at all. So that Rody waited in line for half a day like other caravans before entering.
Only now did the soldiers at the city gate realize that the city lord came back with only five people, and he was a little dazed. Rody waved his hand to keep them quiet, and then he quickly entered the inner city and returned to the mansion.
Along the way, he quickly checked the "city status bar" to confirm that there were no accidents in the city. Looking carefully at the mages on the map who were having intensive meetings in the magic tower, I couldn't help feeling that Camilla had done everything so perfectly that he couldn't find any faults. However, besides this, the state blessing of "Elson City Lord" made Rody suddenly feel that there seemed to be some changes in the "magic tentacles". The shape of his body is actually condensed like a solid body, not only his strength has increased a lot, even his own flexibility has stepped up to a higher level than before!
