"Follow me closely later and don't wander around."
Beside the cabin door, Margaret said coldly to them.
Perhaps because of the death of her friend, Margaret's already serious and old-fashioned face seemed even colder now.
"Yes." Colin and others responded in unison.
Arriving at Gupil Island means that you have left the territory of the Wizards Alliance of Siya Continent. Naturally, you need to be more cautious.
However, most of the wizards on the sea are relatively independent. There are only loose communication organizations between islands, and there is no alliance as large as the Siya continent.
But there is still a Supreme Council here, but it is a Supreme Council belonging to the sea.
The actual controllers of Gupil Island are several members of the South China Sea Supreme Council.
This time, the wizards from Neustadt City came, strictly speaking, as reinforcements, not as the main force.
At present, the main force fighting against the gods of the sea is still the wizard of the sea.
Click.
Not long after, accompanied by the sound of gears biting and rubbing, yellowish sunlight suddenly poured in from the gaps in the gray-blue steel.
The cabin door slowly opened.
The familiar sea breeze with a bit of salty humidity suddenly blew over, lifting the broken hair on Colin's forehead, and at the same time, the chirping of seabirds that he had not heard for a long time came to his ears...
Taking a gentle breath, Colin felt his heartbeat speed up slightly.
This familiar feeling seemed to bring him back to his days on the island.
"Let's go."
Margaret said lightly and took the lead to walk forward.
When you walk out of the hatch, you are greeted by a huge square.
Although the square is also very large, it is still slightly inferior to the square in Neustadt.
However, it can barely accommodate three airships to land.
The airship in Neustadt City had many hatches, and all the wizards quickly got off the airship.
The large square was suddenly filled with wizards.
Fortunately, it seems that this is not the first time that Gupil Island has faced such a battle, and the various signs are very clear and conspicuous.
On the left side of the airship hatch, Margaret led them to gather with other accompanying wizards from the Alseus Society.
Colin took a glance and saw that there were thirty-six accompanying wizards from the Arleus Society originally sent by Neustadt City - wizards from the nine major schools and their respective affiliated schools.
But now, at a glance, I'm afraid there are only about twenty people left.
However, among the nine wizards of the sect, it seems that only Wizard Morton of Yin'an died unfortunately.
Just as Colin was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Margaret, what happened? Why did Morton die?!"
A male wizard with silver hair pushed through the crowd and walked in.
There was a hint of sadness in his face and his tone was low.
'Maybe he's Morton's brother?'
Colin inferred uncertainly in his mind. This newly arrived wizard also wore the badge of the Yin'an School, and his appearance was very similar to that of Morton whom he had seen at the compulsory meeting before.
"Please have my condolences." Margaret paused and said, a trace of sadness rarely flashed across her prim and serious face.
Then she waved her hand to set up a silent witchcraft between the two, and started talking to the silver-haired wizard.
After a while, the apprentices gathered together, and Margaret also ended the conversation with the wizard.
"Everyone, let's go, Lord Link is still waiting for us."
The wizard from Yin'an had already regained his composure and suppressed his sadness. He turned around and looked around at the wizards from the other nine sects and said in a deep voice.
Then he took the lead and walked out of the square.
Margaret and other wizards had no objections and followed him... It seemed that this wizard had taken over Morton's original position.
Colin followed the other wizards and subconsciously glanced at the surrounding crowd.
The wizards were crowded together, rubbing shoulders and rubbing shoulders, blocking their sight.
But he knew that this was only temporary. Except for them, the wizards of the Alseus Society, most of the other wizards would not even stop at Gupil Island, but would immediately go to the next island...the island on the front line.
‘I don’t know where Senior Sister Lilian will go…’
Colin withdrew his gaze and moved forward in silence.
After a while, the wizard from Yin'an led them into a tall domed tower.
The style of this tall tower is extremely ancient, and the lighting positions left around it can still be vaguely seen as being originally prepared for torches and oil lamps.
"You and the apprentice are waiting in the hall."
Margaret gave some instructions to them, and then walked up the winding and narrow gray-black staircase with the wizards from the other nine sects.
After Margaret and others disappeared, Meyer asked in a low voice.
"Have you heard of this Lord Link?"
"I'm not sure. It doesn't seem like he's a wizard from the Nine Schools."
A wizard from the affiliated school shook his head and said.
"It seems to be a wizard from the Supreme Council."
Another voice came out and said.
"Wizards from the Supreme Council?!" All the wizards were a little surprised.
Although the members of the Supreme Council are mainly composed of high-level wizards from the nine sects and high-level wizards from certain family schools.
But the Supreme Council is more than just members.
In addition to members, the Supreme Council also has relatively low-level wizards.
Just like the low-level wizards of the nine major sects have completely different statuses from the wizards of their affiliated sects.
The low-level wizards who directly belong to the Supreme Council obviously stand above all wizard forces.
Their number is extremely rare, and most of them are students of congressmen, so it is rare to see them on weekdays.
This is why the wizards are so surprised.
After waiting for a while, footsteps came from the gray and black spiral staircase.
The original chatter in the hall suddenly stopped and became audible.
Colin raised his head slightly and cast his gaze over.
Wizards from nine major sects were guarding an extremely short white-robed wizard who looked like a six or seven-year-old child as he walked down.
Fortunately, the child-like wizard also has a child-like face.
It doesn't seem that disharmonious.
The next moment, the childlike white-robed wizard spoke.
"A brief introduction, I am one of the presiding wizards of this Alseus meeting, Link."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! His expression is calm, he looks like a child trying to pretend to be mature.
But the voice didn't have the feeling of a child at all, instead it was as hoarse as an old man's.
Colin's expression remained unchanged and he looked away.
Perhaps it is due to the training of wizards. Starting from the second level, wizards have more or less special physical changes.
Some were mechanically modified, and some were implanted with special bloodlines... The same was obviously true for Wizard Link standing in front of him.
'I don't know what kind of transformation has been done to make it look like this.'
On the other side, Link continued talking.
"Perhaps you already know in advance that this Athios Conference is different from previous Athios Conferences."
"But you may not know how big the difference is..." Link smiled softly.
His child-like face combined with his old voice made him look really weird.
"Half." Link raised his finger, "Maybe only half of you can make it back alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of many apprentices in the hall suddenly changed.
Fortunately, perhaps they are mentally prepared for the changes in the Althus Society.
So no one has backed down just based on Link's few words.
Link glanced around and nodded with satisfaction.
"Now that the bad news is over, here comes the good news."
He stared at the apprentice in front of him and said word by word:
"In this Athios meeting, most of the surviving wizards will be qualified to use Athios... Remember, not all of them, just surviving is not enough."
"Okay", Link clapped his hands, and finally said: "Apprentices, this is where you have been living in the past few days. On the first, second and third floors of the castle, you can choose whatever you want, and there will be dedicated servants to help you.
Serve.
As for the rest of the affiliated wizards, they live on the fourth floor."
"Let's go."
Link turned his head and said to the wizards of the other nine sects, "I will take you to meet the wizards from other wizard cities to discuss the specific assessment content of Athios..."
