Lord Chronicle

Chapter 121 Magician Guild

The headquarters of the Magician's Guild is located in the southernmost part of Yakos City, a small island in the lake independent of the city.From a distance, you can see the mage tower, which is hundreds of meters high, soaring into the sky, and it stands out among the thousands of towers in Yakos City.

Looking at the straight tower in the distance, Sol couldn't help but click his tongue: "How do you go up and down such a tall tower every day?"

There are no elevators in this era, and with the magician's thin body, it is obviously impossible to climb on his legs.If all of them use levitation, what about the weak magician?
Walsa pouted: "This is the biggest misunderstanding that outsiders have about the Magician's Guild. In fact, although this wizard's tower is the symbol of the guild, magicians don't live in it. where most of the guild's operations take place."

Jessica was very surprised: "Then what is the use of this tower?"

Walsa explained: "This mage tower has stood on Lake Freya for thousands of years. It is said that it was built by the first generation of mages of the Mage Guild. The bottom of the tower is the practice field, and I am currently practicing magic there. For training, the middle part is the private research room of those qualified archmages, as for the upper part, it is the biggest secret of the guild, and only a few high-level people can set foot in it."

"So that's the case, when can you go up and have a look?" Saul joked to Walsa.

"Me?" Walsa laughed at himself: "Now I'm just a young mage who hasn't completed his studies. One day I can have my own research room in the middle of the tower, so I'm qualified to expect such a thing."

"Don't be discouraged, Mr. Walsa, even our lord can be a marquis, and you can definitely have that day." Kress, who was next to the carriage, interjected.

This comfort was obviously very effective, and Walsa cheered up: "Hey, why didn't I think of it? Now that you say it like this, I don't think it's a difficult thing."

Sol: Kress, am I still your lord?Do your elbows turn outward like yours...

Talking and laughing all the way, the group quickly passed through the city of Yakos, drove across the stone bridge connecting the city and the island in the middle of the lake, and arrived at the site of the Magicians Guild.

Seen from a close distance, the mage's tower is even more magnificent.The tall tower is located in the center of the island in the center of the lake, soaring straight into the sky, it is difficult to see the top of the tower even with enough eyesight.The huge tower is round in shape, and the outer wall is covered with mottled traces left by the years. Each floor of the tower is an independent space, some are sealed by stone walls, and some have terraces overlooking the bottom. Some even cut windows.

From time to time outside the tower, mages using levitation or feather fall can be seen floating up and down. Occasionally, a flash of lightning or flames will be ejected from the windows of a certain floor of the tower. It is obvious that a certain mage is conducting his own experiment. The whole tower is full of a strange vitality.

And around this mage tower, below is another group of huge buildings.Dozens of two-story or three-story bungalows are distributed around the tower, with colorful roofs interspersed among the surrounding verdant trees. Under the mild sunshine in the afternoon, it is full of quiet and leisurely atmosphere.

Paths paved with crushed stones connect these houses, old or young, magicians dressed in mage robes of various levels wandered among the trees, thinking, or discussing magic issues in low voices.In the woods beside the road, the birds are singing cheerfully on the branches, and all kinds of docile and small monsters are playing and playing like no one else. It feels like walking into a beautiful fairy tale world.

The scene in front of him immediately reminded Sol of the famous royal library in Duska, the capital of the kingdom, but compared with the quietness of the library, the atmosphere here is more lively and leisurely.

Volsa was quite pleased with the alternating expressions of admiration and envy from the crowd, he said with a smile: "In your impression, magicians are a group of guys with white beards who only know how to hide in dark laboratories and fiddle with magic? Hmph, compared to enjoyment, our taste is much higher than those nobles who smell like copper."

This is true. The reason why magicians are called synonymous with elegance and nobility is not just because of their mystery and rarity.In order to study magic, mages usually read various books extensively, which has created their broad horizons and good education. Generally speaking, a mage has considerable attainments in many aspects. It can be seen.

"Okay, there will be plenty of opportunities after the visit. I managed to get some ministerial bosses who sympathize with Dinar for you. Don't let them wait too long." Seeing that everyone was still looking around, Walsa urged .

Instructing Kress and Nick to wait outside, Sol and Jessica, led by him, walked along the tree-lined path on the left side of the tower to one of the bungalows.

After walking for a while, they just turned around a fork in front of them, and the three of them suddenly saw several magicians gathered under a big tree talking in a low voice, and one of them was Buffett.

"That guy is wooing people around again. The one wearing the black magic robe is one of the technical directors of the Magic Equipment Department, the great magician Dior; the tall and thin one who looks the oldest is the deputy head of the Wind Magic Department. Ninth-level magician Balik; the one wearing the red magic robe is the senior forbidden magician of the forbidden magic research department, Tulsi." Walsa whispered in Sol's ear.

Sol was startled inwardly, these people knew the background just by hearing their titles, Felino's action was so fast.If he asked Buffett to attract more such big shots, wouldn't he be completely screwed?

At this time, the other party also found them, and Buffett was obviously a little surprised when he saw Sol and Jessica.He changed his face, and then whispered something to the magicians. The other party looked at Sol and the others vigilantly, and then dispersed.

After a while, several people approached, and Walsa saluted Buffett: "Mr. Buffett, hello." It seems that Buffett really has a high reputation in the Wizards Guild , at least Walsa had to salute him against his will.

"It's Walsa, is your father okay?" Buffett said with a chuckle.

"Thanks to you, my father is in good health." Walsa nodded.

Speaking of which, Buffett turned to the two of them: "Isn't this Lord Saul and Miss Jessica? It's really surprising to see them here."

Saul smiled slightly: "Mr. Buffett, long time no see. I wonder if Mr. Cliff is okay?"

Of course Buffett was aware of the grievances between him and Cliff, he snorted when he heard the words: "Please ask, Mrs Cliff is doing very well now."

As he spoke, he asked, "I don't know what's the matter with Master Saul coming here?"

Saul looked around casually: "It's okay, of course it's okay. I just heard that the scenery here is beautiful, so let Walsa take me to visit it."

How could Buffett believe it? He said coldly, "I heard that you just became Dinar's envoy. How come you are so free to hang out here?"

Before Saul could answer, Jessica suddenly said, "Then what were Mr. Buffett and those magicians talking about just now?"

Buffett's face changed suddenly: "This is none of your business. Since Mr. Saul is so elegant, then I won't bother you. Please forgive me for taking the first step."

After finishing speaking, regardless of how the three of them reacted, they left along the side road.

"Let's go too, it seems we have to hurry up." Sol was not interested in competing with the old man.

It's just that the three of them didn't realize that Buffett, who was not far away, was standing under a tree, watching their backs with gloomy eyes.

"I ran into that kid here. Is he also planning to win over the guild? If Albert's son is there to help, things will be troublesome. We must tell Felino immediately."

Thinking of this, Buffett no longer hesitated, and immediately turned around and strode away.

******************************************************************************
On the second floor of a bungalow, Sol saw the person Walsa introduced for him.According to Walsa, one is Lloyd, the head of the Ministry of Fire Magic; the other is Nila, the instructor of the White Magic Department; the other is Ogg, the instructor of the Magic Materials Research Office; m.

Judging from their names alone, these four people are no worse than those just now.It's just that the high-level figures of so many guilds are clearly divided into two factions, which shows how far-reaching the impact of Dinar's war is.

After Walsa briefly introduced the two parties, Sol said straight to the point: "On behalf of His Majesty King Robert, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you for being received here."

Ogg, the instructor of the magic material research room, is a lean middle-aged man. He said coldly: "Don't be in a hurry to thank us, we just don't want Marconi to send Bamke to Lulin because of his greed. The guild will no longer be able to maintain its current independent stance."

Others nodded in agreement with his words, and Walsa couldn't help being a little embarrassed. Obviously, these brains and minds didn't have a sympathetic attitude towards Dinard as he said.The reason why they chose to meet Sol was, in the final analysis, only for the benefit of the Wizards Guild.

Saul didn't think there was anything wrong with this, since cooperation is what both parties need for their own interests.Anyway, as long as you can win the support of the Magicians Guild through them, I don't care what you are doing.

Hearing this, he said with a smile: "Mr. Ogg is right. No matter what it is, our purpose of opposing Lulin is the same. On this point, I hope we can cooperate happily."

Lloyd, Minister of Fire and Magic, was a tall old man with a red beard. He nodded: "That's right. You performed very well this morning. Marconi was already inclined to agree to Lu Lin's request, but now he is hesitant .That's why we decided to meet you."

What happened in the political hall in the morning, they actually knew it clearly in the afternoon. It seems that the Magician's Guild really has a deep-rooted influence in Yakos.

Anne of the White Ministry of Magic is a middle-aged woman who still has charm. She said: "It's a pity that Dior and the others always fail to see clearly the ambition behind Lulin, and frequently contact Buffett. If we don't take any action If not, the guild will be dragged down by this incident sooner or later."

Jem, the second-in-command alchemist of the Alchemy Department, was a short man. At this moment, he stammered: "I...our Alchemy Department...are very united, but the minister has been missing...for so...for a long time, we..."

Lloyd said impatiently after hearing the words: "Don't mention him, who knows where that guy went, just have your attitude of representing the Alchemy Department."

At this time, Jessica couldn't help but said: "How many people in the Magician's Guild support Dinar?"

Nila frowned: "Not too many. We didn't plan to pay attention to this war, but after Buffett's lobbying these days, more and more people have turned to them."

Secretly thinking that the situation is not good, Sol asked: "Then what is the attitude of the president of your guild?"

As soon as these words came out, several magicians looked at each other in embarrassment.Ogg said: "No one knows what the chairman is thinking. He seems to be conniving at the current development of the situation, but he never expresses his position clearly."

Another flirtatious one?Sol couldn't help being taken aback, this isn't the same as Marconi.

But he didn't dare to say this, he tentatively asked: "Can I meet your president?"

Nila shook her head: "The president has not seen anyone during this time, and even Mr. Buffett's invitation to see him was rejected. So we hope to unite more people and let the president know our determination."

Speaking of this, Lloyd said loudly: "Stop talking so much, kid, what are your plans for coming to Yakos this time?"

Sol knew that they were starting to test him, but he had only one purpose in coming here, and that was to complete the task early and leave.I really don't have any specific plans.

He faltered and said: "If your guild supports us, we will give you a generous reward afterwards..."

Before he finished speaking, Ogg sneered: "The Magician's Guild is not short of anything, besides, what we are asking is how you plan to deal with people like Lulin."

Can't lure?Then I will threaten... Of course it is impossible, unless I don't want to live anymore.

Just when he was in a dilemma, he heard Jessica say: "Let's not say that this time it's not our Dinard's unilateral matter. Since you are here, of course you know that if our country is defeated, it will cause damage to your society. What kind of impact, so I think it should be an equal cooperation."

Lloyd raised his eyebrows: "Little girl, are you threatening?"

Sol was also taken aback by Jessica's toughness. Eldest sister, you are right, but we are begging for help, so let's have a better attitude...

Ignoring the anger of several people, Jessica continued: "Of course not. In fact, because we did not expect such a big difficulty in this mission, we were not prepared. But what is certain is that the current King Whether he is vacillating or not, the attitude of the Magician Guild will determine his choice. And how to get your guild to support us, Dinar, is something that needs our joint efforts."

Facing so many big figures in the Wizards Guild, Jessica spoke with eloquence, neither humble nor overbearing, and she couldn't help but make the other party look at her with admiration.Thanks to her "rescue" in time, Sol was not underestimated by them.

Jem stammered, "I...I think she's...right."

Lloyd and the others nodded again and again, and he said loudly, "The little girl is right. But there are not many people in the guild standing on our side at present. It may not be easy to change their attitude."

Unexpectedly, Jessica smiled slightly, and said unexpectedly: "Do you know the Necromancer Guild?"

Unable to understand why she suddenly said this, Ogg said angrily, "Do you think we are idiots who don't even know about the Necromancer Guild?"

Nila felt that Jessica must have a deep meaning in what she said, and she stopped Ogg from continuing to get angry: "The Necromancer Guild was actually a branch of our guild a long time ago, and it only split because of the inability to unify the concept of magic. "

Lloyd said disdainfully: "They play with soul and life wantonly, run counter to soul-based magic, have violated the most basic morality of magic, and are a group of fallen people who sold their souls to the god of the underworld."

Jem was not very eloquent, but kept nodding his head in agreement.

At this moment, Sol had vaguely guessed what Jessica wanted to say, so he heard her say: "I have an important piece of news about the Necromancer Guild, I think you will be interested."

Seeing that she was going further and further away, and actually brought the topic to the Necromancer Guild, although the magicians were puzzled, they still couldn't help asking: "What news?"

Turning her head to look at Sol, Jessica said: "We have discovered that the Necromancer Guild, with the assistance of the Lulin Empire, is collecting a large number of corpses on the battlefield."

"What!?" As soon as these words came out, several people were all shocked.

Nila asked in surprise, "Is what you said true?"

Jessica nodded affirmatively: "We have personally met, when the battle is over, the necromancer began to resurrect the corpses on the battlefield one by one, and the Lulin army watched from the sidelines, without any sign of stopping. "

"You...you mean..." Jem panicked and stammered more and more.

As Jessica's best partner, Sol certainly knew what he should say at this time.He nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "The Lulin Empire is probably cooperating with the Necromancer Guild."

Completely shocked by these words, Lloyd and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw the horror in each other's eyes.If Sol's words are true, it is definitely terrible news for the Wizards Guild.

You must know that because of the different understanding of magic, the Guild of Magicians and the Guild of Necromancers can be said to be like fire and water.If the necromancers were supported by Lu Lin, God knows how many corpses they could collect on the battlefield, which would immediately break the balance of power between the two guilds.

And this is something the Magicians Guild would never want to see.

Ogg was the first to come back to his senses, and he said coldly, "Is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true, how could we scare people around this kind of thing." Saul kept patting his chest for assurance.

"How?" "I'm afraid we need to confirm immediately." "If it's true..."

Regardless of Sol and Jessica being nearby, several magicians immediately bowed their heads and discussed.At this time Sol gestured to Walsa, who was also shocked, to signal him not to worry.

After a while, Lloyd said to the two: "This matter is too important. We need to report it to the president immediately. Let's go here first. Please rest assured that if this matter is true, it will be of great help to our goal."

Knowing that it was a good result, Sol sent several magicians away.After they left, Walsa immediately said impatiently: "What you just said..."

"Of course it's true, and I saw it with my own eyes." Saul nodded affirmatively.

Walsa was stunned for a moment: "Oh my God, collecting corpses on the battlefield, this is simply..."

Sol spread his hands: "I just hope this news can help us."

Walsa said: "Don't worry, you won't understand how important this news is to the guild. Compared to being dragged into a war, they are more afraid of the Necromancer Guild taking advantage of it."

Jessica said: "You mean, it might be to us..."

Walsa nodded affirmatively: "Even if the guild cannot change its attitude directly, this will be a huge bargaining chip for us."

There was an unexpected turn for something that was not very sure, which made Sol feel good.Anyway, I've already done what I can, and the rest depends on whether I can bluff those guys.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, grabbed Walsa and asked, "Where is the Summoning Department of your guild?"

"Summoning?" Walsa was taken aback, "Why are you asking this?"

"I have a question that I want to ask." Saul said vaguely.

What he was thinking at this time was that Albert had introduced him to the headquarters of the Magicians Guild, to find Robert, the mentor in charge of summoning, to find out what was going on with his special summoning ability.After so long, he almost forgot, now that he finally came to the headquarters of the guild, he naturally couldn't miss the opportunity.

In fact, Sol had long since given up looking for a way to return to his own world, and now he has fully adapted to his current identity.But the opportunity is rare, if you can take the opportunity to learn more about your own summoning ability and use it better, it may have unexpected effects in the future.

Walsa understood, he nodded: "Come with me."

Jessica couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?"

Jessica also knew a little secret about his summoning skills, and Sol whispered to her: "The principal once introduced me to Robert, the summoning tutor here, to find out what is going on with my summoning skills. When I have time, I plan to visit him."

"Would you like me to come?" Jessica asked.

Sol shook his head: "No, it's hard to say whether it's useful or not. You go to Kress and the others first, and I'll be back later."

Jessica nodded, and after leaving the house, the two parties separated, while Saul and Walsa turned into a small path and walked towards several houses in the distance.
