Volume 3 Blood and Fire Chapter 178 The School of Mansis (…
At this time, the young apprentice had just knocked on the door of a magic tower on the side of the castle. This was the magic tower and library of Lawrence University scholar.
Lawrence is a middle-aged mage who has always been dignified and serious. Everyone in the castle is afraid of him.
The young man cautiously explained his purpose. Lawrence nodded expressionlessly, then led the young man up several floors of the magic tower, activated a teleportation magic circle, and said:
"Go in, as long as you come out, you will be my student."
The young man nodded vigorously without asking any questions. He held the staff tightly and walked into the magic circle. In the castle, not everyone was eligible to participate even in the apprenticeship test. He unexpectedly got this opportunity. Just hoping to perform well from the start in front of Lawrence University scholars.
As soon as he stepped into the magic circle, the scene in front of the young man's eyes changed. After a moment, his vision became clear. As soon as he saw his situation clearly, he immediately screamed.
It was a gloomy and bloody Shura world. Tall devil statues stood tall, but they were all stained with scarlet blood. The shape of the continuous castles was extremely close to the devil's head.
The environment here is so familiar. Although the boy has never been here, he has seen descriptions of it in countless references.
This is hell, I don’t know which level it is on.
The young man could hardly believe his eyes. He was the magic apprentice. Why would a "little" test send him to hell?
How could there be such a mistake in the random teleportation of the apprentice test? Let alone killing the devil here, just do nothing. The harsh environment alone can kill him.
Moreover, the young man is still hanging high in the sky at this moment.
The teleported magical power has not dissipated on him, allowing him to float in mid-air. However, this power is rapidly disappearing, and the young man's body is sinking.
He screamed in despair. In the space filled with the strong atmosphere of hell, his magic power was disturbed and suppressed. Now his hands and feet felt like they were not obeying the command of his brain, let alone blessing himself with the levitation technique. If he could fly from a thousand meters high in the air like this If you fall, you will definitely die, not to mention the poisonous blood below and the devils who are looking at you.
A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the young man's heart, and he suddenly understood why he was sent to hell. It was because of the message from the magic mirror. Although he did not know the content of the message, he remembered all the magic symbols.
The respected old mage asked him to come to Lawrence, not for a "little" test, but to send him to die in order to cut off the fateful connection between the information and the Mensis school.
"I want, I want to kill you." The young man understood the cause and effect, and his heart was instantly filled with regret. He screamed loudly, just to vent the anger in his heart.
But at this moment, his body suddenly stopped, and a huge hand grabbed the back of his neck in mid-air. The young man couldn't see anyone, and he could only hear thunderous sounds coming from behind: "This little boy!" This guy is quite interesting, and he has a lot of destiny involved."
In the castle at the center of the maelstrom, the old mage hurriedly walked into a secret room.
The entire room is circular, surrounded by thirteen chairs. It is said that this number represents the founder's belief that the world is both regular and irregular. However, there are different interpretations in the past generations. .
Each seat is a high-backed armchair with a hanging cover and a box-shaped base. This style of chair is called a Gothic chair in human society. It is a seat that reflects the spirit of truth in the world. The hanging cover It refers to the awe of the supreme being. The box-type seat indicates that the people of the church are the cornerstone of faith. It usually appears in formal church occasions and is the seat of the pope.
The thirteen chairs in front of me are of similar style, but the decorations on the hanging covers are completely different from the pointed arches and beam-shaped openwork commonly used in churches. The shallow carvings on the panels are different creatures with different postures, including demons and elegant ones. of the people of the Kingdom of God.
The old mage activated the magic circle in the secret room, and then sat down on one of the chairs.
The room was gradually filled with dense magical energy. The diamond-shaped gems on the backs of the chairs began to light up, projecting light beams, and then gradually formed phantoms of different shapes. The phantoms showed different expressions. There are differences, and some are even clearly not human or even humanoid.
At this time, the door of the secret room opened, and Lawrence walked in and sat down on one of the chairs.
The old mage and Rody exchanged a look, Rody nodded slightly, and the old mage's face immediately became much more relaxed.
After a while, a virtual figure appeared on all seats except one. After these figures stabilized from the initial almost transparent virtual images, they slowly became thicker, and finally, without exception, they all condensed into The figures sitting upright have different shapes, their faces are blurred, and their auras are almost exactly the same.
In the entire secret room, only the old mage and Lawrence were identifiable entities.
On the floor in the center of the secret room, there are still images of tombstones and eyeballs painted on them.
At this time, a phantom that was completely like a sphere spoke and said, "Dear Acting Master of the Castle, Dear Lawrence University Scholar, it has been several years since the Supreme Council was convened. What is so important about calling us here this time?" What's going on?"
The old mage, known as the acting master of the castle, said slowly:
"Just now, my beloved disciple reported a plan. She wants to seize the body of Queen Catherine of the Ablix Empire, and then influence Peter I, accelerating the process of civil strife on the mainland. This plan and idea gave me a lot of thought inspiration."
The atmosphere in the conference room was immediately ignited, and almost every shadow moved, obviously interested in the news.
"The Mensis School has been silent for too long, and the world has forgotten our terror!"
"This continent is really too peaceful, and we haven't made any big moves for a long time."
"If we can control Albrex, we can provoke the three northern empires to fight against the Holy Empire. Together with chaos, this is our chance to revive!"
"Let's first let the orcs from the north show off their power and let the world feel the pain!"
At this time, a phantom that looked like a giant beast said: "In the past few hundred years, our development has stagnated, and we have been encircled and suppressed by all the forces in the mainland. We are now unable to supply many necessary resources, resulting in a serious decline in strength. .If we can seize all the important figures from the major forces in the mainland, then our goal will be just around the corner."
Another humanoid phantom sneered, "Do you think it's so easy to seize the bodies? At the same time, a large number of important people are seizing the bodies. I'm afraid we will be exposed soon. You know, the Holy Empire is our primary enemy. They But they will spare no effort to encircle and suppress us."
The giant beast roared angrily: "Then you can continue to live like this. I can tell you that within a hundred years, the Holy Empire will unify the continent, and then it will be free to deal with us. Do you really think that you are the current Pope? Do you know we exist! You coward!"
"You, what are you?" The humanoid shadow was very angry.
At this time, a thin and dry figure coughed a few times. He obviously had great prestige and immediately silenced the conference room.
His voice was hoarse and dry, and he said slowly, "History has warned us countless times that strong means alone cannot fight against the power of the entire continent. We must divide every force in the continent and cannot let them unite together, let alone Mansi." The Si School has been greatly weakened and cannot return to its former heyday for the time being. Also, since this news comes from the magic mirror, has the thread of fate been cut off?"
Lawrence replied: "The apprentice who received the news has been thrown into hell. We did not kill him directly, and we did not directly read the information in the magic mirror. Therefore, this thread of fate has been cut off. Our existence will not be discovered by any Lord God."
The thin phantom nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are indeed cautious, but it's a pity for the apprentice."
"This is his fate." said the old mage, the acting master of the castle.
