This is a room with an area of about 300 square meters. There are seats neatly placed around a stone table in the center. There are also many decorative murals and additional seating areas around it.
Ronald looked around briefly and found that there were not many people in the room behind the arch.
Just like what the old wizard said before, he only temporarily notified some people in Barrier Mountain. But those who can sit here now...are definitely powerful people with high positions and powerful magic powers.
"Mr. Drake, let me introduce you."
The old wizard walked in front and took the initiative to introduce Ronald as the host.
First there is a woman with eye-catching red hair.
There is nothing wrong with the appearance either:
"This is Ms. Catalina, the head of the astronomy department."
Then there was a burly man with a ferocious face, but he showed a friendly smile when he looked at Ronald:
"This is Mr. Korff from the Prophecy Department."
Finally, there was a wizard whose figure was completely shrouded in black robes, whose age and gender could not be seen, and who did not move much:
"This is the head of the Prophecy Department, Mr. Arlett."
After introducing the three people around the stone table one by one, the old wizard took two steps back and then pointed at himself:
"In the end, he becomes old and decrepit."
"Tower Keeper of the Prophecy Department—August Lowell."
"I, the few here, and the other wizards who are busy with work but have not yet arrived, will all be your partners from now on, Mr. Drake."
After the old wizard's introduction ended, Ronald naturally responded politely:
"Drake, the wizard who just came to Rampart Mountain today."
"I'm excited to work with you in the coming years."
While responding to several people, Ronald also analyzed the situation in front of him in his mind.
This barrier mountain...
In fact, it is not monolithic.
Sinowe once described the situation in the Barrier Mountain. The many complex mystical subjects are the greatest foundation of this organization. The blooming research can quickly achieve the goals of these wizards.
But now, the only people who appeared in front of Ronald were wizards from two disciplines: prophecy and astronomy.
Ronald can make a bold guess——
After the old wizard August discovered his identity, he planned to win over him, the holder of the original code.
The few people in front of me are not so much censorship.
Rather, it is to label Ronald, the new wizard who joined the Barrier Mountain, and tell other small groups in the Barrier Mountain that this person is already a member of the prophecy and astronomy departments.
Next Ronald was invited to take a seat.
The old wizard August sat on the main seat and spoke to the others as the host of the meeting:
"Everyone, this Mr. Ronald is a man full of wisdom. Even outside the Barrier Mountain, he has noticed what is about to happen next through clues. But considering our next purpose, I will stay here first
Let me make an introduction..."
Just like Ronald guessed.
August then introduced him to the recent situation in Rampart Mountain.
After six days, [Infinite Negative Field] will have a chance to break the seal and return to the normal world.
In order to ensure that I can escape from this place.
The wizards of Barrier Mountain have met many times this month, and there are currently three mainstream attitudes.
The plan currently most supported by wizards——
In conjunction with the activities of the "Nine Rings Secret Society" in the outside world, a large-scale ceremony was held in the "Infinite Negative Field" on the day of harvest, in order to tear the seal of reality and achieve the purpose of escape.
A plan that only about one-fifth of wizards support—
Outside wizards are not trustworthy, and the [Nine Rings Secret Society] may have been completely assimilated by outside wizards. This time the plan to help them escape from the [Infinite Negative Field] is actually very likely to be a trap - in order to remove the sealed ones.
The wizard is completely eliminated to avoid future troubles forever.
So Rampart Mountain should be prepared to unleash a massacre.
On the harvest day, it was also the time for them to break through the seal and wipe out all the living people in front of them.
In the end, a few wizards insisted on the idea——
Ignore the temptations from the outside world and continue to pursue the true meaning of the essence of magic. Although the [Infinite Negative Field] cannot be compared with the outside world, it is a 'paradise' for studying mystical knowledge.
As long as we steadily advance research, we can fully grasp the power of the mysterious side.
By then, whether they can break through the seal or take revenge on the wizards from the outside world, they will be able to achieve it easily.
Listening to August's introduction, Ronald asked the right question:
"Can you excuse me?"
"In this matter, which solution do we support?"
The old wizard smiled slightly, but did not answer Ronald directly. Instead, he asked:
"Mr. Drake, which option do you think is more suitable?"
"..."
This dangerous question.
However, Ronald didn't even think about it for a second. He just looked at the other four wizards in the conference room and responded with a smile:
"As for me, I'm more optimistic about the last one."
"Forging iron must be hard. If we can become strong enough, then in the face of overwhelming power, all problems will no longer be a problem."
Bang bang bang——
As soon as Ronald finished speaking, Arlette, who was covered in a robe from the Prophecy Department, clapped his hands, and then said appreciatively for the first time in his hoarse throat:
"Mr. Drake, this is a wise idea."
"Based on the efforts of our Prophecy Department, continuing to study the nature of spells is the most correct path for wizards like us. The other two options will only bring about a future full of uncertainty."
"It's useless to talk about it now." At this time, Catalina, who had red hair, spoke. The head of the astronomy department played with her hair with one hand and did not hide the dissatisfaction in her tone:
"We are not the leaders of Barrier Mountain, and we cannot occupy a single seat in the six-person council. The final result is nothing more than being coerced by those revengeful guys, and then going together to fight to the death with the guys outside."
The old wizard August immediately pressed his hand:
"OK OK."
"In this kind of environment, it's useless to complain or anything. All we have to do is do what we can do, and then try to move forward on the right path."
"Tsk——"
Catalina curled her lips indifferently and then said no more.
Seeing the attitude of the head of the astronomy department, the old wizard breathed a sigh of relief, and then brought the topic back to serious matters.
"Next, there is the issue of Mr. Drake's ownership."
"Although it's a bit presumptuous to make decisions for others, I still hope that you can serve in the prophecy department or the astronomy department."
