Chapter 76
"Will the Magic City encounter a catastrophe?"
Victor remembered the words of the phantom mage.
He thought for a moment, to be precise, he was thinking about the plot in the game.
In the future, the Magic City once suffered a serious attack.
That was a special mission exclusive to players of the Mage profession, and players of other professions could not join.
The reason was that a powerful and sealed monster was about to break the seal from the Magic City and reappear in the world.
——'Dark Mage' Exodia.
He was originally a mage, but because he was too obsessed with the pursuit of power, in order to make his physiological body surpass that of humans, he injected powerful magic into every meridian in his body at the same time.
Exodia did become stronger, but the consequences were also obvious.
Because of the backlash of magic, it eventually lost its mind.
The body also turned into a giant with three heads.
With three heads, he had three consciousnesses.
Thoughts kept colliding, and the mind was extremely confused.
The magic that gushed out of his body naturally led to endless disasters.
That's why he was sealed in the Magic City.
The seal of the dark wizard gradually loosened. According to the observation of the Magic City, its target was the first source of magic power in the Magic City.
Hyjal.
That was the first source of magic power for Endymion and the foundation of Endymion, storing enough magic power to drown the world.
It is said to be the first big tree planted by the gods.
Its majestic magic power is the power that supports the sky city suspended in the air, and it also makes Endymion warm and pleasant all year round.
If Hyjal is attacked and destroyed, the magic transmission of the entire island will be completely lost, and the floating island will fall rapidly and fall on the ground.
This is a devastating blow to any country.
If it falls into the ocean and sets off a thousand-foot wave, half of the country will be swallowed up. At that time, it will be a real disaster.
Victor thought for a moment and leaned back in his chair.
He acted very calm, even very confident.
"Are you talking about Hyjal?"
The mage in the shadow was stunned for a moment, and after a long while he recovered, he smiled bitterly and said,
"Sir Victor, how much do you know?"
Victor's tone was full of planning, and he said slowly:
"Not much, but enough."
"So, you must have heard about the demon war, so you thought of coming to me, Mr. Heim."
Victor was also very clear about the man in the envelope in front of him.
Heim Horn, according to rumors, he is a phantom mage on the continent.
As a member of the Magic Parliament, he does not belong to any country, nor does he have any political stance. He is just a fourth-level strongman in charge of the Magic City.
As the name suggests, the phantom wizard is good at illusion and teleportation, but the most enviable thing is his unique phantom magic - 'Phantom Clone'
The phantom can copy Heim's actions, and naturally can also copy Heim's magic.
But every time a phantom appears, it will cause the magic released by itself to be weakened.
But when each bullet becomes a dense forest, it can also penetrate a building in an instant.
Heim suddenly became serious and said slowly to Victor:
"You can know my identity just by magic, Mr. Victor, you surprise me more and more."
Of course, his identity is not something that needs to be hidden. In fact, he is quite famous as a councilor in the city of mages.
He was surprised that Victor recognized him just by seeing the magic, even some knowledgeable mages could hardly detect it.
Before he could say another word, Victor clasped his hands together.
"Then why should I agree to you? I don't have any sense of belonging to Endymion."
Heim Horn was a little anxious. He didn't care whether it would expose more secrets of Endymion, and he immediately explained to Victor;
"Hyjal is the last line of defense of Endymion. Once Endymion falls..."
"That will lead to the destruction of the country and the collapse of the continent."
Victor said it for him.
At this point, Heim Horn swallowed his saliva.
Only saw Victor laughing jokingly:
"What does it have to do with me?"
Heim was completely silent now.
He thoroughly remembered what kind of existence the person in front of him was.
He would not be morally kidnapped by any righteousness.
"Sir Victor, our Mage Council has agreed to your request..."
"That is the reward for inviting me to join the council."
Victor said coldly.
These are what he deserves.
And what he wants to getWant my help?
"What you said will be charged at a different price."
The old wizard was furious at Victor's behavior of taking advantage of the situation.
"Victor, what makes you so greedy?"
He placed his hands on the table and tapped them gently.
"I have a sister, she is a businessman."
"I don't care how difficult your situation is, but you want my help? Take my interests."
The old wizard was silent for a long time, and finally gave up. He sighed heavily.
"Victor, what do you want?"
"The identity of a councilor."
The old wizard's angry voice sounded. "This is impossible!"
"There can only be twelve councilors at most at the same time, and you are not qualified to be a member of the Mage Council!"
As soon as the voice fell, a raging fire suddenly ignited behind Victor, and the heat made the air tremble gradually.
The flames were like an angry lion, instantly climbing on Victor's body, and the warning voice in his mouth was extremely low.
Vega stood on his shoulder, and no one noticed that his eyes had a blue color.
Although he was on the other side of the envelope, Heim Horn felt a vast sea of magic power, as if it was going to drown him completely.
The scorching flames even made him feel burned.
Such a level of magic strength made Heim's heart tremble violently.
He did not see the wrong person.
At this time, Victor's voice gradually sounded.
"Mr. Heim, remember, this negotiation is what you ask of me."
"Is there no vacancy for the seat of the councillor? I don't mind killing a fourth-level mage."
Victor smiled, and his smile was a little creepy.
Heim Horn was silent for a long time again, and he began to think about whether inviting Victor to join the Mage Council was the right choice.
But since he threw out the bait to lure the tiger out, it was too late to persuade the tiger back.
He could only bite the bullet and say it.
"As a councillor, I can't make the decision alone."
"Victor, your aggressiveness gives me reason to suspect that you are declaring war on the Mage Council."
The Mage Council members are the best of the fourth-level mages at the lowest standard, and they are respected people in a region.
If a fight really breaks out, he doesn't believe that Victor can challenge the Mage Council alone.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Heim, I may have scared you."
"Then, tomorrow, I will visit the council, and then we will talk in detail."
Victor took out the invitation letter in the envelope, which was the coordinates of Endymion.
He tapped the table with his fingers, and the flames ignited again, burning the letter to pieces. The dust floated out of the window with the breeze, and also burned Heim's shadow.
Vega also took this opportunity to disconnect from Victor, and asked in confusion:
"I don't understand. Didn't we have a pleasant chat before? I thought this matter would be settled peacefully."
"Why do you suddenly want to go to war with them?"
Vega didn't understand. No matter how confident Victor was, he had never been so reckless.
And this time... it was as if he was deliberately trying to provoke the other party.
He even asked it to build a magic link in the middle of the process.
Victor flipped the invitation in his hand.
The coordinates on it clearly recorded Endymion's current location.
As a city suspended in the sky, Endymion was always moving in the sky and could change its position at any time.
He explained.
"People who can become councilors have always had high morals, such as Rachel Blue."
The old dean was one of the councilors. As a member of the empire, he had no noble status but built the magic academy with his own strength and served the country selflessly.
He devoted his life's efforts to his academy.
Although this morality has some ambiguity, Rachel Weilan cannot guarantee that the teachers and students in his academy will not be mixed with other parasites.
But at least he has a clear conscience about his morality.
"So, no matter how fiercely I shout, the Mage Council will not go to war with me, because the power I show will make them need me very much."
The Mage Council is an organization with a strong sense of justice. If it can be regarded as a camp, it must be lawful good.
A chaotic guy like Victor is naturally not worthy of joining the council.
So Victor showed his value in two negotiations.
Besides, he was just talking about those words just now.
If Victor did not take action in advance, these mages would have no reason to attack him.
Isn't it enough to make people happy?
"You haven't answered my question yet, why do you deliberately provoke them?"
Vega was still wondering, just heardVictor explained calmly.
"Let them think that I really need that position of councillor."
They will think that Victor wants to become a councillor by hook or by crook, and in this way, the Mage Council will think that they can restrict Victor.
Because in their eyes, Victor has a need.
And with a need, all negotiations will be easy.
These mages can sacrifice a councillor position to give to Victor, so that in their eyes, Victor, who becomes a councillor, needs to maintain this position and obey the orders of the Mage Council.
"Maybe these old mages are secretly happy, only need a councillor position to exchange for a natural disaster mage who can defeat even disasters and demons, right?"
Victor smiled, and his laughter was full of calculation.
"I still don't understand, what good will it be for you to become a councillor?"
"Although becoming a councillor is already a good benefit, as you think, I really don't take this position seriously."
Victor spread his hands and said calmly.
"Hyjal in the City of Mages is what I need."
Only the councillors are qualified to touch the core of the City of Magic, and only Victor knows what it is.
Strictly speaking, it is indeed a tree planted by the gods.
It's just that it was stolen by the former mages.
Wood Calamity, Druga's - Origin Core.
