"There is new information about the location of the Spring of Elements."
Inside the Sky City hovering high above Tania, Fernando Wiggins, who was sitting in the Hall of Emerald, was currently overlooking the capital of the principality where half of the city was covered by the shadow of the sky.
What came to our ears was the report from several experienced magicians: "Assigned by the earth magicians, we rushed back to the parliament headquarters as quickly as possible. We were intercepted by the Magic Empire on the way, but we were not seriously injured.
."
"...Say it."
"There is indeed a strong energy reaction under Falling Star Mountain, but Jin believes that it should not be the location of the spring of earth element."
The voice paused slightly, and the reporter with dust on his magic robe and hood lowered his head involuntarily: "The earth magician concluded that Falling Star Mountain is from the ancient magic empire period, or from an older period.
The products left behind do contain incomprehensible devices, technology, culture and knowledge, but they are different from the sacred mountains in the Wind Continent, otherwise——"
"Otherwise, Falling Star Mountain would never be as honest as it is now. Instead, it would have exploded with thousands of years of decay and obsolescence just like the so-called sacred mountain, wouldn't it?" He clapped his hands and sat in the same hall.
Rex raised his head and spread his body in his seat: "I have told you, old man, and I also reminded you about Jin, but in the end, none of you believe me, it is really sad and sad.
."
"...Jin's personality is different from yours. Even if there is only one percent chance, he will confirm it in a down-to-earth manner." Luo was sitting in the seat of the seven-member council on the other side, with both hands on the magic crutch.
Mulus replied quietly: "I am not defending Jin's character. I can only say that everything is determined by fate."
"Do you want to say that the sisters had the same fate?" There was no reciprocal etiquette for superiors. Rex, who was lying on the seat, replied casually: "Come on, Freya successfully activated the fire.
As for the Spring of Elements, this is a feat that no one has accomplished in the past eight hundred years."
"The fire mage has not yet submitted a report to the Mages Council, and we have not yet determined whether this matter is strongly related to her or those adventurers." Different from his previous violent temper and personality, he sat still where he was.
Romulus still closed his eyes and spoke: "Is the spring of fire element really activated? We can't confirm this now."
"I know what you are referring to. After all, the 'depletion' of elements does not seem to have changed much." Rex raised his head and curled his lips: "But the flow of the earth's veins has changed a lot, and most of the energy has begun to gather.
To the other side of the continent...hey, this is at least a change, right?"
"Perhaps only after all the 'element sequences' are activated will the turning point really appear."
With an old and indifferent voice, he interrupted the upcoming dispute between the two great magicians. Fernando Wiggins finally spoke. Standing by the huge floor-to-ceiling window with his back to everyone, he also waved his hand.
Several magicians behind him who came to report retreated, and the movement of turning around with their hands behind their backs also appeared quiet and steady: "Only half of the elemental springs are currently activated, and there are also the rumored earth elemental springs and water elemental springs.
The spring has not been found. After these two elemental springs are activated like now, the situation may become different."
"Perhaps out of the same goal and philosophy, the Magic Empire - the restorers did not obstruct this matter too much." He looked back at the other two members of the Council with a scrutinizing gaze.
Cangmao's eyes still looked extremely stable and indifferent: "But this is not a reason for us to relax our vigilance."
"It is important to guard against the remnants of the ancient magic empire, but don't you think the real threat is emerging?" Romulus opened his eyes and spoke: "The Lord of Violet - the one who was supposed to return to the death of destiny.
Aren't people a threat that we should pay more attention to? She is not worthy of trust at all."
"Come on, come on, it's that familiar set of words again." Before Wiggins could answer, Rex climbed up from his seat with excitement on his face: "Are you going to do it next?
What do you want to say, 'First calm down the members of the Mages Council, and then we can deal with the enemy with all our strength'? Or, 'That seemingly inconspicuous guy is the ultimate goal that may destroy us'? What do you think of people's hearts?
The level of insight and understanding is really profound!”
"Isn't it true? As far as I know, the former member of parliament was expelled by you because she got involved in research that was too taboo, refused to listen to dissuasion, and went her own way, so that's why she was expelled by you?"
"That was all a long time ago, so long ago that I wasn't born yet. Moreover, even if it is true, what does it have to do with the ongoing topic between us?"
"This means that you are going to trust that person. Even if you put her 'record' aside and go out of your way to bring her back to the Mage Council, your choice will definitely not be supported by the majority of the council members."
"Choose? No, no, no, now it's not whether we choose her, but whether she is willing to choose us! Have you forgotten the last time she came to our side to show off her power? Now she has a whole new one
The support of the Spring of Elements! What confidence do we have——"
"Pause."
With the same old and powerful voice, Wiggins used just a few syllables to easily stop the quarrel between Rex and Romulus that was about to break out again. The old man with his hands behind his back then stood quietly on the ground.
Facing the silence remaining in the hall, he walked to the center of the hall after a while and said, "There is no point in continuing these topics. It has nothing to do with what we want to do."
"Our handling methods will not change due to changes in these forces. They have not yet reached the level that requires us to change." The boss's voice rose a little, and Wiggins looked at the other two people present: "Why?
Magicians all over the world seek welfare - this is still the meaning of the existence of the Magic Council and the direction of progress. If the Magic Empire is willing to change their ideas and ways of doing things, and abandon the 'glory' and 'tradition' of the ancient Magic Empire, I personally
I wouldn’t mind talking to them about other issues on the road to magic.”
"That is to say... Violet's side is also the same?" Amidst Romulus's silent reaction, Rex was the first to open his surprised eyes: "Shall I convey your words to her?"
"No, I will go and talk to her personally." Wiggins shook his head in a low voice: "I will leave it to you to monitor the Magic Empire."
"As commanded."
Respectfully lowering their heads, the two members, one young and one old, responded in a low voice. Rex, who was surprised by Romulus's attitude all the time, then cleared his throat unnaturally, and finally endured it.
He kept raising his head and asked: "What about the Spring of Elements?"
"Since Jin's conclusion is this, let him act according to his own wishes." Wiggins turned his eyes to the sky outside the distant window again: "If he is unwilling to continue searching inside Falling Star Mountain, then let him
If you change places, just keep in touch with us."
"There may be such a solution for the spring of earth element, but there is really no good solution for the spring of water element." Romulus closed his eyes again: "We can't count on the eager Freya.
We can really save Christine. Without the guidance and support of a great magician, the road to find the Spring of Elements will become extremely difficult."
"Perhaps we can find other clues, such as an obvious existence like the Land of Fire." Rex replied lazily: "In the name of the Mages Council, how about collecting similar clues from adventurers? They are the best at it.
It’s the person who found these clues.”
"Overly obvious actions will expose our plan, but... I have communicated this matter with Ferris, and I believe there should be some answers soon." Wiggins answered with his hands behind his back: "But recently this
He should not have time to take care of this matter for a while, because the entire Tania branch of the Adventurers Association is busy dealing with the influx of adventurers."
"Ah, that's what happened."
"Yes, it was that person who caused the commotion - I heard that your apprentice is the person who was rumored before?"
"Not only that, that person is said to be - yes, if it weren't for him, the city under our feet might not know who it should belong to."
"That is to say, our son of destiny can not only change the destiny of others, but can even break away from the shackles of his own destiny by changing his appearance - well, you who claim to be his mentor should have known this for a long time, right?"
"No matter what he was like before, he is just an ordinary magician and alchemist now."
Slowing down his voice to answer the busy discussion of the other two people, Fernando Wiggins quietly closed his eyes: "You don't listen to advice, you don't do your job properly, you learn from a teacher behind my back, and now you still do it to me every day
Looking for trouble...Huh, when I see him, I will teach him a lesson."
"I don't dislike what is happening in the city below us at all. Isn't it quite lively?" Rex laughed with a contented look on his face: "Anyway, the matter of the Fountain of Wind Elements has been resolved.
I can just take advantage of these two days to enjoy this grand event... Why are you looking at me? I can’t go to the pub to have a drink or two? "
"If you just drink two drinks, of course there is no problem." Romulus withdrew his eyes from examining the other party and supported himself with his hands in front of him, and continued to answer: "Have they made that uncourteous application to the Mages Council before?"
"That's right." Wiggins replied quietly: "I have agreed."
"What?" shouted the other two council members: "You-you really agreed?"
"I don't think their request will cause any damage to our Council of Mages." Shaking his head, Wiggins smiled a little more on his face facing the other two people: "The exchange proposed with them
Compared with other conditions, I think this level of 'influence' is nothing at all."
"Haha, haha, hahahaha!" Putting away his surprised expression, Rex suddenly let out a burst of hearty laughter: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect, old man, you actually agreed! In that case——
"
"Then I have to hurry up and get busy!" He jumped off his seat and turned into a gust of wind and disappeared in front of everyone: "Hello? Apprentice? Did you hear that?"
"The trip is cancelled, I won't go to the pub tonight!"
*******************************
"Ah, I'm so exhausted."
Night once again enveloped the top and bottom of the sacred mountain, gradually blending this giant peak that looked like it could reach the sky with the brilliant starry sky. Thousand-Zhihe, who had just sent away other members of the Mage Council, was also dragging himself tired.
Walking towards the resting tent, the originally energetic eyes had lost their former luster: "I said I was going to be busy again, but I didn't expect to be so busy."
"The branch here has almost been completed. We just need to wait until the Adventurers Association is established to connect our business." Still following the red-haired girl like a dog-skin plaster, the man named Yudi
The magician replied feebly at this time: "After the basic knowledge and services are established, the operation of the Mage Council branch will be on the right track. By then we should be much more relaxed."
"That bastard Nifeng Youyou, who was so aggressive in grabbing power before, now disappears again! I will definitely go to all the magic instructors and file a complaint!"
"If your mentor doesn't go back, there are only three existing magic mentors. No matter how you complain, it will be in vain. Alas... forget it."
"How about we go for a nice stroll tomorrow? Leave these unpleasant things behind!"
After a slight pause, Yudi then naturally extended an invitation to the other party: "We have been busy in this ungrateful place for so long, and we haven't had a good time to relax! Although the reconstruction work here is still in progress.
, not to mention entertainment facilities and the like, but there must be a place to rest!"
"This, this..." Qian Zhihe, who was dragging his steps forward, seemed a little hesitant in his words: "Although there is indeed no scheduled work to do tomorrow, but... well, I..."
"Oh, even if there are still a lot of things to be busy with, don't we have the right to indulge ourselves? We are not their people, so we can do whatever we want!" Yudi continued to persuade in a low voice: "It just so happens that I
I heard from the returning adventure group yesterday that there is a mysterious altar on the top of the sacred mountain. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but also the final wishes of those who go there to make a wish will come true!"
"How about we go visit and have some fun together?"
