Boom boom boom.
There was a short, sharp knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Kenneth asked impatiently.
"Excuse me, may I ask if Lord Animusphia is here? I am Kristalia Vodayim." The voice outside the door was young and graceful, revealing good upbringing.
"Wodayim?" Kenneth's expression eased slightly and he turned his gaze to Marisbury.
He knew the Wodayim family, a famous family among famous families. This generation had produced an outstanding young man who was currently studying with the Lord of Astronomy. It was said that he was even more outstanding than the Lord's daughter Olga Marie, and was hailed as the "true successor to Astronomy."
Marisbury understood and said, "Crisius, we are holding an emergency meeting now. Please don't disturb us unless it's urgent."
"I'm sorry, teacher and all the lords, but there is something urgent."
"Come in and talk."
Maris Billy knew the character of his number one disciple, so if he said that, he must be really anxious.
"yes."
The door opened, and a handsome young man with long golden hair and elegant manners walked into the meeting room and bowed to all the lords.
"Once again, I apologize to all the Lords."
"If there's anything urgent, just tell me."
"Yes. Teacher, gentlemen, there have been new changes in the places you asked me to keep a close eye on. First of all, the 'Root Vortex' has been closed."
"As expected."
This is true for both Marisbury and other lords. The "Vortex of Origin" cannot be opened for a long time, and being able to have a moment of contact is already a luxury among luxuries.
"And then what?"
"Have you detected any signs of new magic being activated?"
Suddenly, one stone caused a thousand waves.
"What?"
"Any other magic?"
"Can you tell what kind of magic it is?"
"We have preliminary analysis results. In addition to the third magic, there are also the second and fifth magics."
"Position!" Marisbury urged.
"It appears in the same place as the 'Origin Vortex', in western Japan. Not only that, there are signs that the three major magics are conflicting and colliding with each other. It is speculated that there is a dispute between magicians."
"What did you say?" Kenneth stood up suddenly, staring at Krisius without blinking.
The lord's aura and the power of the highest-ranking magician in the Clock Tower were so powerful that the young boy Crich almost couldn't breathe, but he still insisted on expressing his judgment.
"I, I say, it is very likely that there is a dispute among the magicians, Lord El-Melloi."
"Have you thought of anything, El-Melloi?"
Maris calmly moved closer to his disciple. Although his disciple was outstanding, he was still far behind Kenneth, who had achieved countless glorious titles.
Kenneth didn't answer, but held his chin and talked to himself.
"Magician... Magic... Japan... Fuyuki... Second... Fifth... Second... Fifth..."
"El-Melloi, if you have any ideas, just tell me directly." Lord Inole of Baruyereta said.
"I have some ideas. Please wait a moment. I think I may be able to find out the situation on the scene."
Kenneth exhaled, took out his cell phone from his pocket, pressed a few times on the keyboard, paused for a few seconds, then pressed the answer button and dialed a number.
"I am El-Melloi."
"Forget the social etiquette. I have something very important to discuss with you."
"I need Webber Velvet's cell phone number. I think you have it, Lanis."
"Don't be surprised or worried. I and the other lords have something to ask him."
"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll contact you after the meeting."
Without giving anyone a chance to ask, Kenneth dialed another number without stopping.
Once, it didn’t work.
Twice, the call went through, but no one answered.
The third time, someone finally answered.
However, the signal seemed not very good. The lord sitting next to Kenneth could hear a very obvious "crackling" sound.
"Webber Velvet, my name is El-Melloi."
"I am now convening an emergency meeting of lords in the conference room of the Clock Tower headquarters. On behalf of all the lords, I am asking you a question. Please answer truthfully."
After saying all this in one breath, Kenneth placed his phone on the table and turned on the speakerphone, turning up the volume so that Weber's voice could be heard just right.
"I will answer truthfully."
"Where are you now?"
"Fuyuki City, Japan."
"Is there anything unusual happening nearby?"
"What do you mean by abnormal situation?"
"I don't know if you are playing dumb or if you really know nothing, so I'll just get straight to the point. Someone has opened the 'Root Vortex', and there are signs of the second, third, and fifth magic being activated nearby."
"this... "
"As the dean of the Modern Magic Department, you should know the seriousness of the matter. The lords and I are waiting for your answer."
"Sizzle... Sorry, please wait a moment..."
"Velvet!" Kenneth was anxious. Although he looked businesslike on the surface, he actually valued this alternative student very much and did not want him to embarrass himself in front of the lords.
"Please don't be angry, lords. I know the situation is urgent, but you also know that I am not good at dealing with this kind of problem, so please allow me to let a professional answer it."
"Professionals, who are they?"
"It's me!" The voice switched to a female voice, younger than Weber's and more familiar to the lords.
"BARTHMERO!!!"
"Aren't you going to fight vampires?"
More than one lord exclaimed, especially the lords of the Democratic faction. They have begun to wonder if this series of major events is a big news made by Barthelmero, and whether there is some shameful conspiracy behind it.
"Standing beside me now are the first, sixth, eighth and ninth of the twenty-seven ancestors. Do you want to talk to them?" As the queen, Loreleija was not as polite as Weber.
"Ahem, that's not necessary. We are not that obsessed with the Dead Apostles." Tramberio replied indifferently, "It would be best if the Lord of the Law and Politics Department was here. You must know what happened."
"The incident happened suddenly, and I only had time to investigate part of the facts."
"It doesn't matter. Just tell me what you know." Kenneth came to Lorelaia's rescue.
"The matter of the 'Root Vortex' is quite special. We didn't witness it with our own eyes, so we don't know the details. The three major magics were activated because three magicians were in the middle of a war."
"War of Wizards..." Someone covered his head.
"Wait, three?" someone responded quickly.
"That's right, in addition to the second magician, Kissia Zelrich Schubin-augu, and the fourth magician, Aozaki Aoko, there is also the newly promoted third magician. It is because of his birth that... sizzle sizzle..."
"Hey, Barthelmero!"
"Ziz... Ziz... The interference from magic... is getting stronger and stronger... It seems that we can only... stop here... If you want to know the situation on the scene... just contact the space agency... and ask them to monitor it with satellites... With luck, maybe..."
Loreleija's voice was completely drowned out by the crackling sound, which soon turned into a notification tone indicating that the communication was interrupted.
PS: I have to say that the Department of Astronomy is indeed full of talented people. This Krisius is the leader of Group A, a handsome blond guy.
