"Report!" A guard ran over from a distance. He looked at the elders of the college, and then found the female mage with the highest rank and seniority. He whispered beside her: "Elder Avro, His Highness Joffrey He was assassinated at the door of his office, and he died..."
"What?!" The female mage named Avro was stunned for a moment, and then she began to make calculations with a gloomy face. Avro is smooth and shrewd. When she heard about Joffrey's assassination, she immediately thought of who the murderer was.
Who else could it be? The Stoker Empire was gone, and the damning wave of death had basically calmed down. At that time, in order to defend the sea of undead corpses that had invaded the Northern Empire, the Hawke Empire almost squeezed out their efforts before deploying heavy troops to prepare for defense. But the final result shocked everyone. Not even an undead hair was seen in the plains in the eastern part of the empire. Instead, the only Costa Fortress in the west suffered an unprecedented strong impact. In the end, the Costa Fortress was wiped out except for the supreme commander Alexander, while the eastern part, which had been deployed with layers of troops, remained unscathed and waited in vain for several days. In the end, the empire's rangers went to the south to investigate and found out that most of the corpse tide stayed in the south and did not go north. The other small number had been completely annihilated by Alexander in Costa Fortress.
Under the current situation, the Hawke Empire has become a veritable overlord of the continent. If Larvin had not died, then under the leadership of the old king, the empire would rest and recuperate and then go south to gradually purify the remaining undead, and then it would be able to control the entire world again. A continent. And now, Larvin is dead. Then this throne is the only factor that will cause trouble on the road again.
Therefore, it didn't take long for Avro to understand that these mysterious assassins were most likely attacking in the east and west, using the raid on the Forbidden Prison to cover up the real purpose of assassinating Joffrey. Obviously, the person who would do such a thing is the second prince of the empire, Alexander!
"Who is in this prison?" Avro thought with a gloomy face, but not long after, when the ice-blue figure appeared at the prison gate, Avro understood the key to everything. —This was a joint operation between MI and Alexander.
Annelotte's whole body was shining with the light of shield magic, and there were many beautiful ice flowers condensed around her body. Her expression was serious and solemn, and she seemed to be ready to go. After regaining her strength, although Annelotte was confident of escaping from the First Academy of Magic, she still had to fight a tough battle with these mages in order to leave with Inelise and the assassins.
"If you want to stop me, just try." Annelotte walked out of the prison door. She glanced at the mages present, then bowed and made a mage's salute asking for a duel.
"..." Several mages present looked at each other. In fact, when Annelotte walked out of the prison, they were all dumbfounded. The imprisonment of Annelotte was carried out secretly by Joffrey, so these elders were completely unaware of it. And now the dean of the Second Magic Academy walked out of the prison in such a swaggering manner, and then clamored to fight with the mages present? What is rhythm? Is the dean of the Second Magic Academy here specifically to cause trouble? And where is His Highness Joffrey
"Although I don't know why the great Frost Queen is here, as a mage, I will not shrink in front of anyone, even if this person is the Frost Queen." A man who looked twenty-seven or eight years old, with a handsome face and gray hair The young man with short hair stood up. He showed off his magic ring with some pride, showing his identity as a high-level mage.
"Idiot!" Avro cursed in a low voice. That young man was a newly promoted high-level mage by the Presbyterian Council of the Magic Academy half a year ago. Because he was not only talented but also good-looking, he became quite high-spirited after being promoted to a high-level mage. He once He has repeatedly ridiculed the veteran mages headed by Avro for being too rigid and conservative. It can be seen that this guy is going to be in the limelight again at this time.
"Please show mercy." The young high-level mage gracefully gave Annelotte a gentleman's courtesy. Although he was proud, he also knew that he would not be the opponent of Annelotte who stood at the top of the magic world. This was all done to leave an impression on Annelotte. Although this Annelotte seems to be very close to Regnar, the Director of Military Intelligence, he is too skilled at poaching. He may not be able to dig into Annelotte.
"I should not be your opponent, but I, Elios, want you to know that the dignity of the First Magic Academy does not allow you to trample on it like this. You have gone too far this time!" Elios said in a majestic and reprimanding tone. .
"What nonsense!" Annelotte narrowed her eyes slightly. In fact, like Regnar, Annelotte found that she and Irene were imprisoned in an unknown prison as soon as she woke up. She had just been released at this time, and she was also very angry. In this situation, if you see someone talking nonsense in front of you again, even Annelotte will get angry. A cold light flashed through her ice-blue pupils, and then she raised her hand and shot out a frost ray.
"Low-level spell attack?" Elios couldn't help but sneer. He snapped his fingers, and a frost protective barrier was formed. He said with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that the Frost Queen would actually use the fighting method that is often used by mage apprentices. This really makes me a little disappointed..."
Before Elios could finish his words, a violent explosion covered his voice. Just when he was talking nonsense there, Annelotte used multiple spells to guide the frost ray and create a fireball. So with the frost ray covering his sight, Elios was completely unaware of the arrival of the fireball. He didn't even have time to activate the secondary spell invalidation barrier on the necklace before he was blown away by Annelotte's fireball. But fortunately, Annelotte didn't really want to kill him, so this deliberately weakened fireball only roasted Elios half-cooked and was not ready to be served on the table.
"I knew it!" Avro was very happy when she saw Elios's blackened body. She thought about it and felt that it was almost time to come forward on her own.
"Who else is coming?" Annelotte glanced at everyone again, and the temperature of the air dropped again.
"Good evening, dear Miss Annelotte." Avro stood up and then saluted Annelotte.
"Then let's start." Annelotte raised her hand to cast a spell.
"Please wait, I'm not here to fight you." Avro quickly waved her hand, she exchanged looks with the other elders behind her, and then said: "Actually, we are also full of confusion about everything in front of us. But I hope you can believe that the First Magic Academy Presbyterian Council does not mean any disrespect to you. Therefore, there is no need for us to fight you, what do you think?"
"Then you allow me to leave? Can you make the decision in this matter?" Annelotte asked.
"Of course!" Avro was the first to make way for Annelotte and made a "please" gesture: "I believe all this is a misunderstanding. If there is a chance in the future, we will definitely be able to clarify it, but today, I can guarantee that no one from the Empire’s First Magic Academy will stop you from leaving, otherwise, he will be my enemy, Avro!"
"Very good, thank you." Annelotte asked no more questions, just nodded and left.
"There must be some misunderstanding about this matter. Please consider it carefully for the sake of the friendship between the two major magic schools." Avro shouted again to Annelotte's back.
"Sister, are you just going to let her go? How should we explain to the dean?" Another old mage came over.
"There is no more dean." Avro whispered while looking at Annelotte's back.
"What?!"
"Just now, he was assassinated." Avro shook his head: "Corento, tell the others in the Presbyterian Council that if you don't want to die, keep a low profile for me these days. No matter who is from the Second Magic Academy , or the Military Intelligence Agency, or the military, don’t mess with them. The storm in the empire is not over yet, and things will change again today! As long as we mages don’t stand on the wrong team, our status will not be bad in the future!”
