"Why the two of them?"
The one who raised the question was Veronica, a blond beauty—some magicians who are proficient in blood fusion and other physical transformations often show two extremes. One is that they don't care about their own image at all, how powerful they can be transformed.
For example, the left eye is replaced with the "beholder stalk", the right eye becomes the "death eye" of "servant of death", and the beard is replaced with the tentacles of the mind flayer. At the same time, they are also the image of magicians deliberately promoted by the God of Truth. Of course, at this stage, these magicians must change their appearance before they dare to go out, otherwise they will be the targets of the night watchmen.
Another part of magicians are very concerned about their appearance, and they will pay attention to this aspect when transforming themselves, so their appearance becomes more and more exquisite and beautiful. Veronica is such an eight-ring mage who is proficient in blood fusion and physical transformation. For example, Her ears are slightly pointed, which makes her bright and beautiful a little more playful and cute, which is a sign of the blood of the elves.
Chairman Arnold said with a chuckle: "The 'gathering' held in Allinge this time is mainly for communication and contact, and to eliminate differences and misunderstandings..."
The first half of what he said was obviously an "official cliché" to other magical organizations, and then he changed the subject: "So, as the masters, we must control our ability to participate in the 'party', otherwise it will easily cause suspicion. Destroy the rare atmosphere of cooperation, so that they are afraid to come."
"Here, I am the president and the main liaison, and I must host the party. This is basic courtesy and respect. Douglas is a new archmage who joined us. His presence will make others feel the attraction and true strength of the union. , Fernando is a leader among our younger generation of magicians, and he is the most promising candidate to become an archmage. He can let other organizations fully appreciate the future of the union and the vitality of the union... "
Fernando rarely taunted directly. Instead, he secretly slandered, simply showing his strength without exceeding the limit, intimidating other organizations, and being told by the president, it seems that the truth is all on his side, he deserves to be the president!
For this explanation, Rieger and Veronica agreed with it, and did not say anything more. Instead, they asked about the details of organizations such as "Red Eye" and "Supreme Soul". The president Arnold who just visited the other party knows clearly
Arnold also took the opportunity to popularize the information of these organizations to Douglas, who had just arrived: "The typical appearance of the people of the Arthur Empire is a pair of red eyes. You can see it by looking at Fernando. Of course. Bright red pupils like him. In the Arthur Empire It is also considered rare, the 'Red Eye' organization was established by a group of surviving magicians from the Arthur Empire, hoping to restore the country in the future... "
"'Soul Supreme' is an organization of the Necromancer Department, and it is said that it has some relationship with the 'Death Scythe'..."
"'Shadow Singer' is a secret organization that 'Lord of Shadow' Osiris prepared for his 'return'. It's a pity that he was hit hard by the 'Heart of Time', and his strength has declined not as good as ours..."
"'Tower of the Destroyer' is dominated by elemental mages. It is one of the major branches left after the 'Elemental Will' was destroyed by the 'Sword of Truth' together with the priests more than a hundred years ago..."
Douglas is no stranger to "Elemental Will". After the "Lord of Shadows" was severely injured and disappeared, the legendary magicians in the "Great Holm Area" split up and fought on their own. Some of them belonged to ancient organizations. members, and some established their own organizations. "Elemental Will" was a legendary organization that was very active during this period. At its peak, it was almost comparable to the ancient "Palmela's Cabin", but in the end, it still failed to escape the fate of destruction. Most of the magicians died, and valuable materials and items were divided between the Hofenberg family and the Truth.
Arnold explained in detail the origin, composition, and information of the leaders of the four major magic organizations, and finally sighed: "I hope this time the alliance can be smooth, as long as the cardinal Alfonso is killed, the initial shock will start." Living in the 'Dark Blue Devil', I am sure to use his name to carry out extensive cooperation with several Your Excellencies."
His eyes were not cloudy, and he looked at Douglas and the others seriously: "The 'Dark Blue Demon' is right, our strength is indeed not enough to join the battle 'among giants', but this side of the strait is not without your legendary lord Already!"
He didn't mention that after the assassination of Alfonso, the church was furious, and "Dark Blue Bounty" Sharp did not soften his attitude at all, but accelerated the possibility of attacking magic organizations. He knew this, Rigg knew it, and Ramon and Veronica also It's very clear, but the current situation makes them only choose to take risks. If they want to grasp the extreme before taking action, they will have no chance to take risks in the future!
"Mr. President, in Great Holm... how many legendary masters are there on this side of the strait?" As a native of Antipholia, Douglas used to call this place "Great Holm", but he changed his words in time, because Fernando The others are the remnants of the Arthur Empire.
Arnold smiled: "Except for those who rushed to Alto to participate in the defense, there are only three legendary mages left on this side of the strait. Of course, the legendary masters all have weird and changeable ways to save their lives. Completely died at the hands of the God of Truth, but just hid?"
"'Palmela's Cabin' has two gentlemen, the 'Ice Witch' and the 'Lord of the Deep Frost'. Among them, the 'Lord of the Deep Cold' is stronger, so he went to support Alto and let the younger Your Excellency the 'Ice Witch' left behind the organization..."
"'Death Sickle' has a terrifying 'Lord of Death', he is a senior legend of the Arthur Empire, he has a bad relationship with Alto's lords, so he didn't rush..."
"The legendary lords of 'Dance of Confusion' had already fallen, but decades ago, one of them, an outstanding nine-ring mage, was successfully promoted. The legendary profession is 'Eye of the Curse', called Atlant? Man, very young…”
As Douglas listened, he repeated in a very low voice what needed to be focused on: "...the Ice Witch...the Lord of Death...the Cursed Eye..."
"The basic situation is like this, Douglas, Fernando, get ready, we will go to 'Allinge' tomorrow." Arnold nodded his head.
…
The sky seemed to be completely burned by fire, and the ground was bright red but dim. Arnold, Douglas, and Fernando transformed into giant mice common in this plain, shuttling between plants and gravel.
This is the plain near Rentat. It is located in the northwest, surrounded by mountains and separated by many villages. It doesn't look like a hiding place that a dark magician would choose.
"When the 'City in the Sky' fell, a big hole was smashed at the foot of the mountain, which triggered an earthquake and buried itself. Therefore, it is actually underground at the edge of this plain." Arnold introduced to Douglas " Allinge" position.
Douglas is currently an obese gray-haired mouse, and said through a telepathic connection: "Then its damage should be serious?"
"Well, the alchemy life in the core has dissipated, and none of the buildings above are complete..." Fernando said instead of Arnold, who is now a small mouse with red eyes.
The three mice followed the real mouse hole all the way deep into the ground, quickly overcame many obstacles, and set foot on the underground passage dug by the United Magicians Union.
So, they turned back to humans and followed this road paved with huge stones. There were no murals, patterns, etc. that are common in ruins on both sides, only uneven rocks.
As he walked, Douglas suddenly stopped, his eyes stared obsessively ahead, and he saw a majestic thing squeezed by the mud and rocks.
It is very huge, formed by half of the mountain peak upside down, the bottom is sharp and the top is flat, with loops and symbols embedded in it, which makes people feel shocked from the heart.
However, all the magic towers and other buildings on its plane collapsed, and only three or four floors remained in the most complete one. Moreover, the main mountain peak has obvious cracks one after another, which are bottomless, as if they want to penetrate it, which is shocking.
"Is this 'Castle in the Sky'..." Douglas sighed with burning eyes.
Arnold let him watch for a while before saying: "I'll go and communicate with the leaders of other magic organizations in private, and try to reach a consensus before the party. You go around and get to know the magicians of other organizations."
At this time, members of other magic organizations have arrived, making the magicians and their families living in the base of the union very busy. Of course, magicians of high rank and above are hiding nearby and entering by simulacra to avoid falling behind. The trap of joining a union—they're used to it cautiously.
"Okay." Douglas nodded, and together with Fernando flew up to the sky city that fell underground.
After setting foot on it, Douglas discovered that the magicians of the trade union had already built and repaired some uncomplicated buildings, and because there were many magicians from various organizations who arrived, a small market was spontaneously formed in the central square to exchange There are spell models, magic experience, material resources and potion formulas, etc.
"Haha, you two, do you need the improved 'Maltzman' I have researched? It can effectively stimulate the soul and increase the rate of mental power growth." Because Douglas and Fernando were standing on the edge of the small market, a nearby A young sorcerer with an ordinary face stood up, selling his alchemy products with a smile.
"Maltzman" is the name of a legendary magician who invented a potion that can effectively increase the growth of mental power.
Hearing this, Douglas turned his head curiously, and carefully looked at the dark blue potion that was constantly bubbling: "How much speed can it be increased?"
"Everyone is different, it's possible from 1% to 5%. I tried hundreds of different ratios before I accidentally improved this formula." The young mage said triumphantly.
Douglas nodded, and asked with a serious face: "Then why can this improvement improve the effect? What kind of principle does it follow?"
The face of the young mage immediately collapsed: "I don't welcome troublemakers here!"
