On the third day of the assassination of Master Akama, the traitor in the kingdom of mages was found.
Trent Sodir, a master of dark witches, is good at death summoning and spell casting, and is probably only one convincing research result away from a truth-level mage.
He was found to have a direct connection with the abyss, and was driven by a certain abyss boss to murder his colleague, Master Akama.
I'm not curious about how the spies were found. There are so many spellcasters in the country of mages, and Bayer's professionals even committed crimes under the eyes of the dragons. It's strange that they can't find them.
Compared with the reasoning ability of the famous detective in the novel whose writing science is called the author's opening, the messy magic and supernatural ability are more direct and magical in the detection of the case.
Prophecy, astrology, lie detectors, there is nothing inhumane or inhumane, and the evidence is not evidence. If the suspect is caught, he will be beaten to death and then interrogated. The hallucinogen and Veritaserum will be filled first, and the questioning will be conducted while hypnosis. Unless you directly blew your soul into it. In reincarnation, there is no one who can not move.
Excessive pursuit of efficiency has resulted in a lot of unjust, false and wrongful convictions, but in this case, finding spies as quickly as possible is undoubtedly the primary focus of appeasing people's hearts.
The message was passed on to me, and it was simply that he admitted that he was bewitched by the abyss and attacked Master Akama.
Trant, who is good at fighting, attacks Akama, who specializes in divination and prophecy. If the attack is sudden enough, he can indeed kill with one blow, but this conclusion is unacceptable to many people.
Who is the real culprit? Are there any companions behind? There must be many ideas, but the clues have been broken. Before the war is imminent, in order not to shake the military's heart, it is not suitable for extensive searches.
The side effect is probably that everyone will be careful to guard against each other in the future.
Helent's request was very smooth, and reinforcements arrived one by one, but I see this situation, he probably regarded it not only as an alliance war, but a display of international status and circle of influence.
"Look, this is our Bayer ally."
In a sense, this is no longer a war, but a show, a large-scale commercial show that must be won and that must be won.
He used massive resources and funds in exchange for the real and strong support of the major allies. Whether it was worth it or not will be calculated later. At least for now, this scene is very spectacular.
"Nine people came to the Council of Truth? Counting the previous Akama, it's double digits, it's just..."
Ten years ago, there were a total of 28 truth controllers in the Council of Truth. With the rise of the tide of elements, the largest increase in theory should actually be the mage profession.
A lot of research that could only be regarded as a theory on paper before has become a reality with the activation of the elemental tide. The result is that several archmages not only control the truth in one step, but also increase their strength.
In today's Council of Truth, there are 31 truth-level mages. It seems that the number has not exploded, but in fact, there are 12 newcomers... Don't think wrong, mages are not gladiators, and the retired mages are just trying to shirk themselves. Responsibilities as MPs.
The members of the Council of Truth are the highest authority in the country of mages, but for many mages who study monographs, it is just endless trouble. They should use their research time to deal with boring government affairs, although they can take the opportunity to embezzle some research funds. , but overall it's not very cost-effective.
Except for those great masters who consume a lot of research funds, other great masters do not pay attention to this position. Since there are juniors who are willing to take it, they are naturally willing to give up their positions. take over.
But some things are recognized. The total combat power of the kingdom of mages has doubled at least ten years ago, and they have eaten the most in the tide of elements.
It is not only the growth of high-level combat power, but it is the most difficult for the mages to master the power of the elements. After the tide of elements skyrocketed, the difficulty of the mages decreased the most, and there were even hundreds of people who advanced at the same time in one day. Weird situation.
Another aspect of the skyrocketing elemental power is that many taboos and virtual structures on blueprints and ancient books can be turned into reality. Those alchemists and puppet masters simply celebrate carnivals every day, and the alien creatures summoned by summoners Even if he can't handle it himself, the power of the forbidden necromancer has also grown significantly with the establishment of the underworld.
Originally, the kingdom of mages, which was a superpower, was small and pitifully small, and its combat power depended entirely on mages. Now that the strength of mages has soared, so has the national strength. It is a conservative estimate to say that it is twice as much as it was ten years ago.
But unfortunately, some things have not changed, such as the organization of the mass of loose sand...
According to the latest evaluation records, after so many years, the country of mages should actually have more than 200 spellcasters who have reached the truth level. There are probably no more than thirty people, and they are all driven by human transactions, knowledge exchange and the like.
Under this circumstance, ten councillors were dispatched at once, and there were also several truth-level mages who had not become councillors. It can be said that more than half of the highest combat power was dispatched.
"With such generosity, what benefit did Helen grant to them? It won't cede land or anything, no, the land is just a burden to the kingdom of mages, and most of it is some ancient knowledge or the like. It can make these old guys go all out, but Not the usual good stuff."
While muttering, I looked at the group of archmages in front of me.
Now it was a palace dinner organized by Helent, and foreign guests came one after another.
Due to certain past events, such as a few ramblings at the Council of Truth... Well, I mean I have had friendly exchanges with the Council of Truth, and many of them are still old acquaintances.
Aroso of the Blade of Austrian, Ice Mage, a rare good man among the archmage, with a big belly, is seriously licking the strawberry-flavored ice cream produced by Bayer... Seeing me looking at him, the old face suddenly turned red , turned his fat body, and continued to lower his head to lick.
Margaret's mentor, Aunt Amara, who is always used to pretending to be a tender star's revelation... I mean sister Amara, who is always young and beautiful, please take back the monsters in the shadows.
The white-bearded old mage I didn’t recognize was smiling at me, and proudly pointed to the badge of truth on his chest…
"Who are you? Don't pretend to be so familiar."
"You, you, Roland, I'm Kaid, the Earth Mage Kaid, your old classmate for how many years!"
"...Lori-controlled Kaid? Are you still alive? Are you here to pay me back the 100,000 gold coins?"
"Of course I'm still alive! If you turn into ashes, I won't die. No, woolen, it's only 100 gold coins, oh, no, you owe me money, I almost got it crooked by you, ah ah, you're here again This one. I'm not a lolicon, old man, what's wrong with liking little girls! No, I'm not a pervert!"
"This familiar serial spit is really a Lolita-controlled Kaid."
I looked at the white-bearded old man sympathetically, and then handed him a drink kindly.
He was so old that he talked too much in one breath, and he was choking and coughing constantly, but he did not find that his colleagues around him silently kept away from him. After he returned, I am afraid that all the little girls would go around him.
"Ha, ha, it's a pity that you still have a little conscience... Pfft, what is this!"
Before he finished speaking, he fell directly. When he fell, his old face was still red and hot.
Looked at the label, oh, Dwarf Ent? The famous dragon killing wine? Who threw this thing at the dinner party.
Looking at the old mage lying on the ground, showing a mysterious smile, and constantly reaching out to grab the void, and the strange expressions of the people around me, I think from tomorrow, not only all the little girls and girls will stay away from Kai Germany, that is, all women will stay away from him.
"Poor Kayed..."
I crossed my chest as a prayer.
"The most pitiful thing for him is that he got to know you."
The dead cat vomited in a timely manner as always, but today she is very different from the past.
With a smug smile on her beautiful face, her blond hair at the waist is as smooth and bright as silk, and her black dress and golden moon earrings match very well, making her look noble and mysterious.
As the queen of elves and the truth-level archmage, she is undoubtedly the focus of everyone, and considering the diplomatic impression of the elves, she can only appear in this way in public.
But there is no doubt that adult gestures are more likely to be valued by others.
For me, only some of the truth mages are acquaintances, and for Heloise, there are probably only a few people she is not very familiar with.
She can call out the Archmage's nickname at will, and talk about the scandals of their apprenticeship, without hurting her face and causing the good-natured laughter of the people around her.
As expected of the old fritters who had been alone in the Mage Kingdom for many years, she adjusted her age and gave full play to the advantages of the past, and soon the truth mages became one. Her amazing erudition and connections made people very sigh. , there was already a circle around her.
For most wizards with very "special" personalities, this is an extremely rare good relationship.
In fact, my popularity in the world of mages is not low. I don't talk about the identity of the master of the dead and the master of ice in the past. The danger of jihad and the promotion of magic technology in the cloud tower have left a lot of memories for the mages. deep impression.
And with the confirmation of the prophecy, and the infinite possibility of magic technology being gradually proven, I, as an excellent foresight, naturally gained the reputation I deserved.
And after I "killed" Kaid, the archmage who was planning to chat with me rationally kept a distance... These days, pets are more popular than their owners.
But when it was rare to take a break, a familiar child's voice sounded behind my back, making my scalp tingle.
"Dad, Mom, please come over."
