─ ─ Sorcery Alliance HQ in a few days-

Urgent meetings were still taking place today in the large conference room of the 'Magic Guild' headquarters.

Joining us are Class A and B sorcerers with the title 'Sage'.

As an observer, DeMetel, a Class C sorcerer, also participates.

Meetings have been held daily over the past few days.

But I haven't come to a conclusion.

They looked at the collected material, but just sighed.

There are three agenda items for the meeting.

· Response to the appearance of worshippers (soothsayers) of the "Sanctuary Church".

-Sharing information about the existence of magic that invokes the bishops of the Sanctuary Church as necromancers.

· Regarding the future treatment of 'Elusion'

Wrong response involves the future of the 'Magic Guild'.

So how was the magicians' argument repeated?

".................. why is this happening"

One of the magicians groaned.

"Why do the 'Sanctuary Church' necromancers appear? Who knitted the subpoena magic? How did you get the catalyst to summon!?

Huh.

The magician's fist slapped the long desk.

"Sanctuary Church" is a magical organization that once sparked a muddy war.

When the bishop is resurrected, though the Necromancer (Ghost), he does not know what will happen.

If you do poorly, Ancient Sorcery, which you don't even know about the Sorcery Alliance, may be in the hands of your enemies.

Moreover, the summoning magic was performed in the Ruins of the Ancient Sorcery Civilization (Elusion).

As a 'sorcery guild' created to manage that place, it was an unacceptable lapse.

"I guess you were there, weren't you? Class C Sorcerer DeMetel Which!

"Yes."

Called by name, the sorcerer DeMetel rises.

"As you reported. A trainee, Gaiel-Wolfgang, was deceived into carrying out the 'ancient magic' of the 'Necromancer bishop' summons, and was consequently possessed by the bishop of the 'Church of the Sanctuary'.

As a result, he is damaged by his spirit and his memory is confused.

I don't remember the chant or the crest of Summoning Magic. "

"Is it true!? What do you mean you don't remember!?

"I used magic to confirm it. Definitely."

"............... oh my god"

The magician, who called on DeMetel, held his head.

"I'm going to have an orientation for a trainee..."

"After all, shouldn't we postpone it?

"That would be the case given the safety. But how long...?

The magicians push silence.

In the conference room for a while, the silence continued...

"I propose the blockade of Elusion."

Eventually, one old magician raised his hand.

His name is Zamel.

He was the oldest of the 'Magic Guilds' and an old man who spoke of 'Magician Supremacy'.

"Currently 'Erución' is to be allowed in if the guild's people follow formal procedures. It was to spread technology and knowledge to many, and also to prevent the monopoly and rampage of ancient heritage.

But if there are new worshippers of the Church of the Sanctuary, it's not the story. "

The old magician took a breath, Phew, to see how he reacted around.

"'Elusion' is also the place where the people of the 'Church of the Sanctuary' killed each other. If you summon the Necromancer bishop there, the summoner will surely be possessed. If that happens, don't you know what will happen!!

"Without the 'ancient sorcery' of summons and the catalyst, you can't summon a bishop."

"I would be able to summon as long as I have knowledge and a catalyst!?

…………

"Imagine a 'Sanctuary Church' Necromancer getting his flesh and sifting through 'Ancient Magic' that only they know! We don't know what the damage is! To prevent it, Elusion should be sealed off!

"And only the top magicians of the Alliance will monopolize the legacy of ancient civilization?

Unexpectedly, a bruised voice sounded.

Sitting on the other side of the old mage Zamel, from a young man.

"Wasn't the role of the 'Sorcery Guild' to prevent the monopoly of sorcery? Therefore, a title (shudder) is to be awarded to those who find new 'antiquities'. You can prevent the monopoly of knowledge and technology by registering 'Antiquities' in your guild.

If you close that path, in the end, your knowledge of magic will be monopolized. Isn't it just in your favor to have a long-experienced, elderly magician like you?

"Do something great! By the minute I just became a Class B mage!

knocking on the table, the old magician Zamel shouted.

"It would be a big mistake if you thought you would shy away because you're royal. Second Prince Cain which!!

"I am here as a Class B sorcerer. You don't mean to be called a prince."

The young man called Kain shrugged his shoulders.

"Besides, I'm a party myself. The Necromancer bishop was summoned to the" Guardian Knight Selection Exam "of my sister Iris. Isn't that right? Class C Sorcerer DeMetel Which"

"Yes, sir"

"Then this cain has a duty to clean things up.

─ ─ You know the mastermind behind this case, don't you?

"Yes. According to the testimony of the Count Wolfgang family, he was a drifter mage, named Dorothea-Zamuels"

"Then we'll catch him first."

Prince Cain said so, looking around the conference room.

There is no objection.

Cain continues as he nods satisfactorily that he is partitioning the place.

"Dorothea's manuscript was distributed to all the villages around the Wang capital. Still, it's possible he's lurking near the Wang capital more than he can get any information on the discovery."

"Near the king's capital?

"So I have a suggestion"

Second Prince Cain spread the map over his desk.

"What about putting up hopefuls inside the 'Magic Guild' and offering bounty money to look for Dorothea-Zamuels?

"Want a bounty?

"It's like an adventurer's quest. Whoever catches him will be rewarded with the same reward as he gets the Ancient Object. Give me the title."

Takeshi, and the meeting room shudders.

"That's the equivalent of getting an 'ancient object'!?

"Will the royal family get that far?!?

"Please tell us why!!

"That's how dangerous he is. I have my father's permission."

That's what I said, Prince Cain looking around at the magicians.

"─ So, what are your thoughts on the Magic Guild?

For a while, no one spoke.

This case is a 'sorcery guild' lapse.

Originally, it would be better to do it only by the Alliance.

But if the royal family shares responsibility, I've never gone beyond that.

The magicians who thought about it gradually began to speak out in agreement.

"May I ask you something?

Unexpectedly, class C magician DeMetel raised his hand.

"I apologize for your disrespect. My lord Cain - no, I feel that Cain has a personal interest in this matter..."

"I'm interested."

Prince Cain nodded lightly.

"It's interesting to see what the organizations of the past that have been so doomed are now planning to do. Whatever junior magician or junior aristocrat you don't know anything about, I'm sorry you're out of company. I rarely get to attend an event like this."

Prince Cain returned a gentle grin,

"I also suggest that we close 'Elusion' until we capture Dorothea-Zamuels, together. Until we can make sure he's not around the king's capital."

"… Are Trainee Orientations Postponed"

"It can't be replaced safely. Ask trainees to do another job, including my sister."

On Prince Cain's smooth tongue, the magicians brought a sigh of admiration.

The old magician was sealed, and all he could do was tear back.

"... let's say we take a vote"

The old sorcerer proclaims, and the other sorcerers nod.

And the Wise Men of the Sorcery Guild agreed unanimously with Prince Cain.
