"At present, the members of the Society of Sages, except for a small number of people who have continued from the past, have joined in the past five years. In addition, because of the outbreak and subsidence of the disaster ten years ago, the members of the Society of Sages today are not as good as they used to be. many... ."
Under the introduction of this elf woman, Roland Hill learned about some recent situations.
Since the sun crown will calm down the chaotic vortex, there is no longer a need for a large number of personnel to be guarded in various places, and the personnel requirement is much less. In addition, because of the last rebellion within the sage society, the trust of all ethnic groups in the sage society has declined, so Funding and other support have been reduced a lot.
It can be said that the strength of the Society of Sages has shrunk a lot, and it is difficult to restrict the witches as in the past. In order to balance, now they have to send out invitations, hoping to bring more power back to the Society of Sages.
"For the stability and future of the Ivar world, it is necessary to unite the power of all people," she said. It can be seen that this elf woman has a high approval for this ideal.
But this is not the case with the other two sages next to him. One of them is from the empire and is the marshal of the former empire. Although he looks only in his 40s and 50s, he is actually more than 100 years old. The battlefield was still more than 40 years ago. After retiring from the army, he joined the Sage Society, which is also a rare member of the Sage Society in the past.
Another old man with white hair and a long beard is even older, nearly 200 years old. He is a sage who experienced the 'Battle of the Broken Bow' in the previous generation. He is famous for his research on ancient history, although his strength is average. , but has a high reputation in the Society of Sages.
The two sages nodded to Roland Hill's arrival, and then continued to remain silent, seemingly neither welcoming nor disgusting. It's not so much that they don't like Loren Hill, it's more that they stay away from the group of witches.
'They were once human beings, but they are no longer human after all. ' This is a motto left by a former sage society elder.
That bizarre quality of witches will ultimately lead them down a completely different path than humans with limited lifespans.
After some conversation, Roland Hill was a simple acquaintance with these three people. Soon after, the small meeting ended and everyone dispersed.
"Want to go have something to eat together?" The elf female sage walked slowly, and the small bells on her blue hair collided with each other, with a light rhythm.
"Okay." The girl nodded, but she didn't dislike it.
"Then come with me." Seeing Roland Hill agree, she smiled happily.
The two walked in the white corridor of the High Tower Academy, and along the way, they could see the vast mountains outside and the central school building in the distance.
"Lorraine Hill has also been in the academy for a while. In fact, I only recently learned about your identity." The elf woman was holding the book, walking in front, and turning back to chat from time to time.
"Well, I was very curious at the time, because I'm not a witch who has been around for too long." Roland Hill nodded and stroked the white stone pillars on the side of the corridor.
"It's an honor, but unfortunately I used to teach at the High Tower Academy and I haven't seen you."
"It feels like talking to you is similar to other sages." She sighed and said a few words, looking a little happy.
"What will the other witches do?" Roland Hill turned his cheek curiously.
"Their words feel like they are covered in a fog that cannot be understood. It is difficult to use ordinary people's thinking to speculate what they are looking for and thinking." The elf sage shook his head and seemed very distressed.
After the two walked for a while, the elf sage suddenly asked.
"Do you know the original origin of the Sage Society?"
"This is a little heard, it should be the union of the heroes."
"Yes, the first-generation members of the Society of Sages are the heroes who led people to resist chaos in the disaster thousands of years ago."
"They came from all over the world, and in the dark age when the country collapsed and no order existed, they led people from all over the world to survive the madness and erosion, and finally united, and with the assistance of the angels, defeated the doomsday catastrophe. ."

"Since then, in order to prevent the disaster from spreading again, the Sage Society was established and an academy was established in Emenas."
"And most of the descendants of those heroes have become the founders of various countries after the disaster. It can be said that in the beginning of the third era, all the countries, large and small, are inextricably linked with the sages."
"That's right. At that time, the sages would have an incomparably powerful power. Whether it was prestige, righteousness, or overall strength, they were at their peak. It was also from that time that mortals began to take the stage of the world, and the influence of witches was greatly affected. inhibition."
"It was also at that time that the new witch was no longer raised by the witches of the past, but was raised by members of the Society of Sages."
"This later also planted a crack for the division of the witches in the country of Oz. As a result, the witches who experienced pain later no longer trust the Sage Society and gradually drifted away from the world. And our Sage Society also slowly lost. Knowing the witches in the past, I don’t know if they still exist in the world, and what is their status now.”
"It's a sad thing, I have to say."
"The two most powerful forces in the world are inseparable."
"And the sages are mortals after all. Under the baptism of time, the generations have been replaced. The latecomers gradually no longer understand the power and influence of the chaotic disaster, but become curious about that power."
"If there were still many witches in the Sage Society decades ago, they wouldn't let some deviating thoughts spread freely."
"Maybe." The girl nodded to this, but shook her head again.
"But people have a hard time believing and accepting experiences they haven't experienced firsthand."
The only lesson history teaches is that people never learned any lessons from history.
This sentence is definitely biased, but it also reveals the nature of living things very well. If you haven't experienced the pain yourself, you probably won't understand how heavy the pain is.
Human beings questioning authority, challenging the rules, breaking everything, believing that they are unique is the folly of life and the vitality of life, so fascinating and maddening.
"arrive."
During the conversation between the two, they also arrived at a restaurant in the High Tower Academy. It has a white arc-shaped dome, and the clear spring that melts snow flows down from one side of the hall. There is a tall window next to the dining table, surrounded by green vines on both sides, and unknown white flowers blooming on it.
There were not many people in the restaurant in the afternoon, and only a small number of students ate here. They wore black robes and talked softly. Occasionally, they could hear the sound of porcelain plates and knives and forks colliding in the empty hall.
"Two servings of avocado grilled meat, and the other with red grapefruit sparkling juice." The elf sage also ordered the one with Roland Hill.
"Okay, wait a moment." The staff remembered it, nodded, and began to prepare.
"Let's sit down first, in fact, I want to talk to you for a while." The elf sage sat down.
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself well."
"My name is Vestena, the forest elf, one of the fifteen seats in the Emerald Garden, and the representative of the forest elf family in the Sage Society."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, the great sage of Crancia, the immortal star, the witch of the eternal wind, Loren Hill."
