Throne of Magical Arcana

The cold light sprinkled on the many flowers blooming in the small garden, giving them a hazy beauty.

Lucien walked side by side with the Rhine on the garden path. After a brief silence, he asked directly, "Mr. Rhine, can you tell me where the headquarters of the Magic Council is?"

"Where do you think it will be?" Rhein, who always had a faint smile on his face, asked Lucian.

Lucien thought about it and answered, "I think it is deep in the dark mountains or on the other side of the mountains, because the westward advancement of the church ended early."

Rhine said with a loud voice: "If you go to the dark mountains, you can only find those gloomy and crazy ancient magicians. Although they are powerful, many are high-level, and even have grand mages and legendary magicians, but they are slightly incompatible with them You will become their experiment, and then you will either get an uncontrollable powerful force, or your whole body will collapse and die. And the creatures in the dark mountains are not comparable to the beasts and low-level magic creatures of Melzer Black Forest. , Rush into it with your strength and survive no more than ten days. "

Sure enough, there are remnants of ancient magicians in the dark mountains.

Lucien affirmed his own guess: "Mr. Rhein, is the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council in a certain country? Belief in the northern sect, or other gods?

"Wrong answer, in a country that believes in the Southern Church of Truth." Rhein seemed to remember something funny, shaking his head again and again, "You should have heard of its name, the Kingdom of Holm. The specific location is the Kingdom of Hall. The floating city 'Aringe' near the capital Renta. "

"Allinge, the meaning of 'sky' in the ancient language of Sylvanas." Lucien first interpreted the words habitually, and then looked at Rhein in surprise: "The Kingdom of Holm? Lentat? Natasha The mother's country? "

And this country still believes in the god of truth!How did Grand Duke Waorit visit this country?

"Isn't the love of Archduke Vaurit already a story that has been recited throughout the continent? I have sung and told several different ones." Rhein laughed funny, "but there is no poem, no one The story can tell clearly what evil forces are blocking them. "

Lucien asked doubtfully: "Is it the Continental Magic Council? Why is there such a strange situation?"

With a smile on his lips, Rhein looked at Lucien: "If you have learned about ruling, you will understand that this is a political issue on the mainland. All is attributed to balance, the balance that the nobles need."

"Balance?" Lucien asked pretendingly, but he was thinking, "Actually, I have a lot of textbooks on international politics. Do you need to take a look?"

Knowing that the headquarters of the Magic Council was not in a horrible and sinister place, Lucian relaxed a lot.

Rhein surpassed Lucien by half his body and walked forward slowly: "When the Dawn War entered the last two hundred years, the strength and authority of the church reached its peak, whether it be the poor or the emperor, they would prostrate in the face of the pope. Kiss the tip of the shoe of this god's spokesperson. During that time, the church was able to abolish the counts, marquises and dukes, and even the emperor of the sacred helze empire. Therefore, no one dared to offend the majesty of the church. "

"So the division of the church into the north and the south at the Supreme Religious Conference has the support of the nobles behind it?" Lucien realized why the cardinals could be followed by almost all the nobles in the north.

Rhein turned his head and looked at Lucien: "Very keen. Lucien, you are right. When some cardinals planned to overthrow the pope for reasons unknown to everyone, the aristocrats in their country did not hesitate. Joined this conspiracy. But these nobles deliberately leaked some information in advance, so that the pope was prepared and not overthrown, so it developed into a situation of division between the north and the south. After all, for the nobility in the north, if this part of the cardinals overthrew the pope , Control the church, their situation will not change substantially from before. "

"While the North and South are split and the strengths of the two sides are not much different, the power of the nobility has become the most important weight on the balance, and will never be taken away by life and death." Lucien said along the lines of the Rhine.

Rhein smiled and shook his head: "Yes, the strength of the church in the north is very different from that of the church in the south. But the elven country, the dwarf country, and the country that believes in other gods in the northwest of the dark mountain range. Watching the North Church be defeated. Only after they joined this game did they form a situation where the South strongly attacked the North and barely supported it. "

"But this is different from the current situation? Now it seems to be a balance of power, and the northern fortress has once fallen." Lucien thought about it seriously. "So the church was divided again at that time? The Kingdom of Holm supported the Magic Council?"

Rhein was slightly surprised: "You can think of this, Lucien, you are really good at learning and thinking. Yes, after seeing the great improvement of the status and identity of the northern aristocracy, the southern aristocracy also thought about their situation. Most of them Choose to negotiate with the church, and a small part of them embarked on the road of secretly fostering magic forces, using their strength to fight against the church forces in their kingdom, and balancing themselves in the middle to fight for the right to speak. "

"This small part is the nobles of the four kingdoms across the storm strait, but they made a mistake, that they did not expect a Archmage named Douglas to actually change the ancient magic system at this time, by simply imitating magic Creatures are on the path of studying the laws of the movement of nature. Under the leadership of Douglas, the strength of the Magic Council is the growth of geometric series, and powerful magicians and legendary magicians have emerged. One hundred years ago, several major concealments were integrated. After the magic organization, the Continental Magic Council has expanded into the second largest force in the entire world. "

"This is a change that Holm and other nobles from the four kingdoms did not expect when they started supporting them."

Lucien heard the familiar name: "Mr. Douglas? I know him." Lucien didn't ask Douglas if he was still alive, because a magician as powerful as him must have countless ways to extend his life. The millennium is not a problem at all. For example, the "lich transformation ritual" recorded in Lucien's "Book of Astrology and Elements" can be performed after becoming a high-level magician. Once successful, the life span will be extended to at least 1,500 year.

"Mr. Douglas is one of the top ten powerhouses in the world, the first great arcanist, the speaker of the Continental Magic Council, and the founder of the journal" Arcane. "Even if the man, Rhein, is extremely mysterious, There is also a touch of awe when referring to Douglas, "So now it is a situation where several parties are balanced and the nobles benefit from it. Ha ha, in the Kingdom of Holm, the magician is already a semi-open identity, although the church has a considerable strength It was concentrated there, but it was also suppressed miserably. If it were not for the help of the nobles, it would have been uprooted by the Magic Council. "

Lucien probably understood the situation today: "Therefore, the church allowed nobles of the rank of Grand Duke Waorit to visit the Kingdom of Holm. It seems that he hopes to pull the noble forces of the Kingdom of Holm completely. Ha ha , Grand Duke Waorit 'finished' well. "

"The Grand Duke himself did not think that this would happen. The nobles in the western and southern countries of the mainland and the sacred Herzian Empire were hailed as the most extreme and conservative pro-Churches. You can imagine the sensation caused by the marriage at that time. The nobles of the Kingdom of Amu know the situation on the mainland, but they will definitely choose to loyal to their lord. This is not because they have noble character, but because if the nobility cannot unite according to the most basic rules of loyalty to the lord, they will have been long ago by the Magic Council The separation of the two huge forces from the church and swallowing it, how could it be possible for them to make a dangerous balance. "Rhein laughed slightly ironically.

Then he made a gesture of pressing down: "Okay, you do n’t need to know complicated things with your strength. What you need to consider now is how to go to the Kingdom of Holm. Storm Strait has been blocked by the church and only allowed. The nobles and merchants can only go, and the inspection is extremely strict. Of course, you can also cross the confrontation zone between the north and south churches, and then cross the Shahran Empire to reach the north, from the north to the north of the Kingdom of Holm, the only problem is The area where the church confronted was more tightly sealed than the storm strait, and even nobles and big merchants could not pass through. "

"Should the Magic Council have its own way?" Lucian thought of the gentleman from the headquarters of the Magic Council.

Lucien dared not resort to Natasha for this kind of thing, even though her grandfather was the king of the Kingdom of Holm.Because it was the power of the Magic Council that blocked her parents, and she was a devout believer in truth, telling her the identity of a magic apprentice, plus the previous deception, it is likely to be directly killed.

Rhein nodded: "There is a liaison officer of the Magic Council in the Pearl of the Sea" Sturk ", but I don't know who it is, you need to find it yourself, and even then, it is very dangerous when you steal the blockade, so I I said that you can only go after you become a formal magician with a good self-preservation strength. Of course, if you can become a mid-level magician and learn to fly, you do n’t have to worry about it. The sea is so wide, the church can block ships but not May completely block the sky. "

"Become a formal magician ..." Lucien didn't know if the church continued to observe himself, but he certainly would not use the status of "professor" to contact people in the magic circle.Therefore, to become an official magician as soon as possible, the best way is to go to the ruins and rely on yourself to understand the time difference of the "big cross" magic fan lock, and enter first, but will that be a trap for the church?

Rhein carried his hands on his back: "You can become a high-level magic apprentice in up to two days, and with your talents, as long as there is a common silver moon potion, then there is a great hope to become a formal magician. So, you measure yourself Dangerous, I will tell you at most that the church has struggled to separate its staff recently. "

"Really?" Lucien looked at the Rhine with a slight surprise. He seemed to know something.If he is right, then he should take some risks to try the ruins, "Yes, Mr. Rhein, do n’t know your identity?"

Rhein laughed and said: "I am just an observer, someone who likes to observe interesting things. Of course, the possibility of going out in person is not ruled out, as long as that thing is interesting enough."

After answering Lucien ambiguously, Rhein glanced at him meaningfully, and then accelerated his pace, directly into the darkness.

Lucien stood on the spot and watched the back of the Rhine disappear, and his heart was calm. After knowing the news of the headquarters of the Magic Council, the whole person suddenly relaxed a lot, as if the boulder that had been on the heart for a long time had been removed.

In this unspeakable lightness, Lucien suddenly felt that the soul had swelled a bit, and began to hit that boundary.(To be continued.
