Chapter 45: The Clown's Action

"City in the Sky? Kingdom of Holm?" Mercury blurted out in surprise.

The Hanged Man and the Reindeer also said in disbelief: "Rentate? Near the capital?!"

This was completely beyond their expectations. Just like Lucien before, they had never thought that the Magic Council could exist so openly, in an orthodox kingdom that had not been declared a heretical or evil country by the church.

It doesn't seem to be much worse than when the ancient Magic Empire ruled.

In their original thoughts, the Magic Council was either deep in the Dark Mountains, or in some alien space or demiplane, and then connected to the main material world through a secret magic circle.

In addition to the "sage" Viscount Klein, who had vaguely guessed the location of the Magic Council headquarters from the rumors about the Grand Duchess from the mouths of nobles such as Count Hain and Count Lafati, and then confirmed it by Lucien, it seemed that

Apart from being relatively calm, the other magic apprentices expressed their shock more or less quickly or slowly.

Lucien, who carefully judged whether their surprised emotions were stiff or not, chuckled and said: "There is no doubt that the headquarters of the Magic Council is in Arlinge. It has the tacit approval of the nobles of the Kingdom of Holm, and its strength completely overwhelms the church forces in the kingdom.

, if the church had not spent a huge amount of money to install strict protection in the Glory Cathedral, and had enough time to wait for the Cardinals of Reims to come to the rescue, plus the nobles' idea of ​​maintaining balance, the Kingdom of Holm would have been completely controlled by the Parliament.

"

"Really? Mr. Professor?" Mercury asked in disbelief. In the heart of her, a young girl who was born in and grew up in the Principality of Violet, the church is unparalleledly powerful and can suppress countless dissidents.

In this space, if it were not for the division between the north and the south, magicians such as myself would have had no chance of survival long ago. It is incredible that the Magic Council can grow into a behemoth that can compete with the church in some aspects.

This is a question that most magic apprentices have, even "sages" are no exception. The nobles may feel that the kingdoms such as Holm across the Storm Strait are a bit unusual - because they rarely know about it from books and stories.

The situation, but only the nobles who are qualified to sit in the same VIP box as the Grand Duke can know exactly the bad situation there.

Lucien gave an overview of the development of the Magic Council, the achievements of the great arcanists and the current situation of the Magic Council, and finally said: "The Council is already the second most powerful force in the continent. In Aline, you can get free

The opportunity to learn the basics of arcana and magic, you can study magic openly, you can exchange ideas and exchange materials without worrying about being caught by the church, and you can use magic to obtain the status, identity and wealth that should belong to you."

There was no inciting tone, no exaggerated expressions, just plain and straightforward words that made Mercury, the Hanged Man and others tremble all over and became unbearably excited. People who have not had similar experiences can easily imagine a dark and oppressive world, and suddenly see the light in the midst of danger and pain.

The feeling of seeing a bright future.

Even Mercury, who was good at keeping calm, was almost choking at this time: "Professor, Mr. Professor, how should we go there? I think the church must have blocked the strait and the border. Can you take us there?"

These words made other magic apprentices suddenly wake up. Yes, the light has not really come yet, and the road ahead is still dark and dangerous.

"I have my own affairs, so I can't send you off." Lucien first refused to help, then told them the two routes, and finally said: "If you have flying equipment, you can consider taking the northern Shahran route.

If not, go to Sturk to find the ferryman. After passing their observation and test, you will have the opportunity to go to Aline. By the way, if you have not become an official magician when you arrive in Sturk, you need to show your

Potential and ability.”

Lucien did not reveal Graneuve's identity because there were probably spies from the church among these magic apprentices, so he only told them how to find the Ferryman.

Sturk's Magic Council liaisons have learned from the severe losses a few years ago. There is a strict process of observation, questioning, identification, and testing for all magicians and magic apprentices. Even if the spy leaks the information, it will

Even if the night watchers change their identities and go there, it will be difficult to infiltrate.

Mercury calmed down and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Professor, if I have the chance, I hope to see you in Aline." Like the sage, she had no doubts about Lucien's last words.

The other magic apprentices also expressed no objection. Growing up in a country controlled by the church, they have always understood that nothing comes without a price. If they want to get help from the Magic Council, they must show what is worthy of help.

"I hope you can tell this news to other people in the magic circle, and don't hide it selfishly, so that everyone has a chance to choose." Lucien warned, and then said with a sinister smile: "By the way, after tonight, you guys

It's best to change your identity and hiding place. I'm worried that there are spies in other magic circles, and the church doesn't need the guys who already know the location of the Magic Council headquarters to maintain the illusion of the circle..."

"Yes, Mr. Professor!" Mercury and others were stunned for a moment, then replied seriously, without doubting Lucien's words. He was a terrifying figure who personally dealt with a traitor and killed more than twenty night watchmen! At the same time, he

You must be cautious, no one wants to fall down when they are close to the light.

The weird silence lasted for a while, and the cold voice of the hanged man said with a bit of enthusiasm: "Mr. Professor, I heard you mentioned the basics of arcana and magic, and I also know that you are a knowledgeable mid-level magician. Can you give me some advice?"

Can we briefly introduce this aspect? We have materials for you to choose from.”

"The content of the introduction is free in the parliament. I won't take advantage of you, so just talk about it casually." Lucien said in a calm and hoarse tone. You can't say that I don't like the materials you put here.

"Please explain, Mr. Professor."

After hearing Lucien's words, everyone, including the sage, stood up and solemnly saluted the teacher with the etiquette of the ancient magic empire.

Next, Lucien explained to them the current arcane and magic system in a way that established "arcane" thinking from the beginning. They were all dumbfounded and unbelievable. This was really very different from what they had learned before.

, but trying to analyze magic has yielded unusual results.

Different from the last time they saw the "Arcana" journal, they didn't understand it at that time. After receiving Lucien's in-depth explanation this time, they felt as if a new door had opened in front of them. Behind the door was something so profound and so profound.

Vast!

Until the end of the secret gathering, the sage and others were still immersed in the "new world" and could not extricate themselves. Even if there were some contradictions with their past cognitions, the professor was reasonable and convincing!

With their current level and isolation, it is difficult for them to have a solid understanding of the world without the guidance of high-level figures. This is when their sponge bodies are crazily absorbing all kinds of knowledge.

After leaving the underground secret room, Sage, Mercury and others lined up again and solemnly saluted with their right hands on their foreheads: "I hope I will have the opportunity to listen to your teachings, Mr. Professor."

After the teachings and lectures just now, in their minds, the professor is no longer just a big figure in the purification sequence, a terrifying magician, but also vaguely the incarnation of the Magic Council that represents the ocean of arcane and magical knowledge.

Lucien Jiejie smiled and said: "My students all 'hate' me. If given the chance, I hope you won't regret it."

"Ah?" The puzzled Mercury and others saw the professor and the sage leaving together.

…………

Some secret place in the Alto sewers.

"What? The professor showed up at Alto?!" The clown stood up abruptly, and the deep and dark eyes on his funny smiling face seemed to be burning with two flames, fixating on Juliana who was informing him.

Juliana was excited but also trembling: "Yes, just an hour ago, he attended the party of the original magic circle and his identity was confirmed! This is the first report from the spy we placed in that circle

news!"

The professor is a famous figure in the purification sequence, and the spies dare not delay.

The clown suddenly became quiet and silent, and then he laughed loudly, his laughter was so crazy and sad: "Lucien returned to Alto, and the professor appeared in Alto. If they didn't have a close relationship, I would be burned on the rack myself."

Go! Those big figures in the church, now you can see it!"

"Captain, just wait for the good news with peace of mind. As long as you catch the professor and testify against Lucien Evans, that's when you can return to the tribunal with integrity!" Juliana said happily.

The clown shook his head: "No, I have to seize the opportunity. I want to catch the professor with my own hands!"

"Captain, aren't you worried that it's the professor's conspiracy? He is so insidious and cunning! You see, Lucien showed up just after he was seriously ill and was recuperating, probably targeting you! Let us take action. The three tribunals are in charge.

Someone must be sent out. They are high-level people and can handle any conspiracy!" Juliana was still frightened by the professor's viciousness and quickly tried to dissuade the clown.

The three leaders of the Violite Tribunal are all sixth-level heavenly knights. Although their strength is much worse than the two seventh-level cardinals, they are more than enough to deal with the professor. No matter how powerful the conspiracy is, it will be defeated by absolute strength.

It's all thin snow under the sun, which melts as soon as it's exposed to the sun.

The clown shook his head firmly: "I'm worried that someone big will come down and delay the time, making the professor alert, so we must seize the time so that we can personally avenge the more than 20 dead teammates. And, Juliana, I don't

I will be reckless. I will never forget the lessons of Melzer's Black Forest in my life! I will not arrest the professor unless I am completely sure. If not, I would rather wait for you."

The most important thing is that the clown has no idea what the professor's purpose is, and killing himself seems meaningless to him.

"Okay, captain, be careful!" Juliana saw that the clown was determined and did not persuade him.

The clown laughed and said: "Professor, he may not have thought that the sage's information has been firmly grasped by us! This will be the main reason for his defeat!"

Although there are many magic apprentices, it is not convenient to investigate them one by one, so as not to alert others, but the sage and the owl who have a close relationship with the professor and have acted together are exceptions. The clown and other revenge-minded night watchmen spent several months to pass The spies had their information, but they kept it secret. As a result, the owl died in the ruins before it could work.

In Alto, if they can't even investigate this bit of information, what will the clown and others do to deal with the professor!

"Captain, hurry up. It's best to find the professor before we arrive, otherwise you will be in trouble if you run into other night watchmen." Juliana reminded that her captain is still on the night watchman's arrest list! ( To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
