The next day, the Gemansis secret meeting was held in another world.
The City of Sages built by the Secret Society can be said to be the most worthwhile attraction in the entire Far South Continent.
The city is always shrouded in the glow of magic, and crystals with inscriptions can be seen everywhere on the tops of buildings... The breath of magic surrounds every inch of the air in the City of Sages.
But today the air is filled with the smell of blood.
There's a traitor in the secret society! Even Master Gemansis didn't expect this traitor.
Blood crystal beasts appeared in the secret meeting. This group of blood crystal beasts were not naturally generated but brought by outsiders.
The flames of war did not spread because all the secret society mentors, led by Bayer Walker, took refuge in the Tower of Sages.
The Blood Crystal Beast is a monster that is immune to magic and devours magic. In this city full of spellcasters, there are very few means to fight against the Blood Crystal Beast.
The only thing that can withstand the attack of the blood crystal beast is the defensive barrier generated by the earth vein core.
"Master Pesetto... why are you doing this!" Dean sat down on the ground, covering his bloody chest, and looked at the group of black-robed people gathered in front of him.
Dean, who was born as a thief, stayed in the outer city to resist these invaders, but he never expected that the leader of the invaders was his former mentor.
"Look at this power, my little apprentice. This is magic that normal humans cannot obtain even after tens of thousands of years of communicating with the earth veins."
This magic mentor named Pesetto has gathered powerful magic power at this time, and red energy is overflowing from his hands, which is the power from the blood crystal beast.
"Since the leylines refuse to give me these powers, believing that I am not worthy... then I have no choice but to resort to plunder."
Only at this moment did Dean notice that his mentor looked a lot younger. In his past impression, his mentor was an old man who was over 70 years old and was about to be buried, but now he has turned back into a young man.
"And the Secret Order has been silent in this world for too long! Where is the Daughter of Crystal? After absorbing her power... the whole world will listen to the voice of our Secret Order." Persetto grabbed Dean's collar.
Of course Dean kept his mouth shut and didn't answer, but unfortunately a portal that suddenly opened during the secret meeting answered this question for Dean!
The portal is not here in Dean, but deeper in the Secret Society.
But this is a fluctuation of magic that Dean can easily feel, and it is natural that Mentor Pesetto, whose magical attainments are far superior to Dean, can also feel it.
"The breath of the Daughter of Crystal, is it in another world? A world with pitifully poor magic power." Persetto loosened Dean's collar. "I don't intend to kill you. I won't kill anyone from the Secret Society. You can join me at any time. The power of the Secret Society should not be huddled in such a small land. Let's start with this world without any magic power."
"Charlotte..."
Dean stood up and wanted to remind Charlotte first. He knew that today was the day that Master Winnie had agreed to communicate with the residents of the other world!
But he was seriously injured and unable to move. He could only fall to the ground and watch the group of black-robed men and blood crystal beasts walk towards the location of the portal.
… … …
The second day's visit was to the support base in Jiangcheng.
The visit was only one of the purposes; the other was to provide a suitable venue for negotiations with the Gemansis Secret Society.
Master Winnie is preparing to summon his colleagues from the Secret Society to negotiate with the Celestial Empire, and this time the Celestial Empire is very well prepared.
The location where the portal opens is a... shooting range.
Of course, it was an indoor shooting range where the targets had been removed.
This negotiation was defined as a diplomatic negotiation, so the representative sent for this negotiation was not Lu Cheng but Feng Yichun, who was wearing a Zhongshan suit and standing quietly in the corner of the shooting range.
"Lu Cheng, aren't you going to change your clothes?" Feng Yichun looked at Lu Cheng, who was still wearing the military green combat uniform.
"This is my dress. Uncle Feng, you should think about how to talk to those wizards with weird quirks." Lu Cheng said and made an OK gesture to Master Winnie on the other side.
Master Winnie couldn't understand this gesture, but Charlotte could.
"Charlotte, start building the portal."
Master Winnie had made sufficient ideological preparations last night, which included listing some spellcasters in the Secret Society who were very likely to be willing to cooperate with the Celestial Empire.
This portal also invites these spellcasters to visit the support base together.
"Teacher Winnie, how long will this visit and negotiation take?" Charlotte was looking at her mobile phone. Last night, when they were playing picture battles, Lu Cheng introduced her to some entertainment methods unique to this world.
Among them, Charlotte was most interested in the product called "movies". Usually when Charlotte was playing on the computer, she didn't just play games, but occasionally watched some movies produced by a certain mouse studio on Lucheng's notebook.
So today Charlotte was wondering whether Lu Cheng could take her to see a movie.
"It won't take long." Master Winnie lied to Charlotte. Charlotte also knew the priorities of the matter. She did not lock her phone anymore. The holy crystal on the back of her hand lit up again.
The light of the inscription lit up on the wall of the indoor shooting range, and a portal leading to the Gemansis Secret Society slowly opened.
Soon after the portal opened, a group of figures in black robes walked out of the portal.
"Welcome!" The moment Feng Yichun saw the group of figures, he wanted to step forward and say hello, but Lu Cheng stopped him with his hand.
"Who...are you?"
Master Winnie noticed that something was wrong. The moment he saw the appearance of the black-robed man at the head, the light of the inscription on the wand in his hand burst out.
The impact magic released by the black-robed man in the lead directly shattered Master Winnie who was in a weakened state.
"Pesetto, what are you doing!?"
Master Winnie used his staff to support his body and barely avoided falling down, but the blood crystal beast that walked out from the other side of the portal made Master Winnie realize that his former friend had betrayed the Secret Society.
"Let the world know about the existence of the Secret Society." Peisetuo said, and his eyes fell on Charlotte. "Hello again, Daughter of Crystal. As long as we get your power... both the Far South Continent and this world will be controlled by the Secret Society."
Charlotte felt the murderous intent from the other party in an instant, and her whole body trembled slightly. She tried her best to construct magic to protect Master Winnie beside her, but after the blood crystal beast beside Peseto roared, Charlotte turned back into her original form in less than three seconds, but she still held her small mobile phone in front of Master Winnie.
"I... I just didn't hand in the alchemy homework you assigned me once? You don't have to eat me!" Charlotte shouted to her former mentor in a trembling voice.
"Homework? None of that matters. You will make an important contribution to the Secret Society's mission of traveling to multiple worlds, starting with this world." As soon as Pesetto's voice fell, dense gunfire rang out throughout the shooting range.
The roaring blood crystal beast beside him was turned into a puddle of mud by hundreds of bullets and fell to the ground and evaporated.
"Hey, is this guy from your Secret Society?" Lu Cheng asked the weak Master Winnie while loading the rifle in his hand.
Behind Lu Cheng, a group of fully armed armed police officers were standing in a row.
"He... is a traitor! He betrayed our Secret Order! He is not worthy of being a member of the Secret Order!" Master Winnie screamed angrily.
"I think I understand." Lu Cheng reloaded his rifle and pointed it at the group of black-robed men. "You are suspected of illegally entering Chinese territory! Put down your weapons immediately, or you will be shot dead!"
