Due to the completeness of the information, Camilla had different contracts for different mages. Mages like Crohn and Strange, who were the pillars of the city, would definitely be difficult to poach. Naturally, she had to cast a long line to catch a big fish.
The rest of the invited mages were "excellent seedlings" with high academic standards and did not participate in political struggles. But even so, Camilla did not directly invite them to stay in Elson. She knew that these people were basically "coolies" in the Magic Tower, so her conditions were to arrange a high-level laboratory and regular materials for them, and to submit at least one qualified thesis within the 100-day time limit of the exchange.
They did not feel that there was anything wrong with it, and immediately chose to agree.
After all, these mages knew very well that Elson's magic level was a few levels higher than the other Magic Towers. Any mage with a bit of foresight would find a reason to stay here at all costs.
In the end, all twenty-three mages who were invited to talk signed the contract. Although it was not a lot compared to the total number, the screening of intelligence had obviously saved Camilla a lot of time.
By the time everything was done, it was already dark. Camilla breathed a sigh of relief. She tidied up the copies of the contracts on the table behind her. When she got up, she could not help but look out the window.
"The roads are all fixed. From the port to here, we should be able to get there soon, right?"
After saying these words to herself, she realized that she seemed to have looked out a little too often recently. So she pursed her lips and did not let herself think about that figure. Instead, she shifted her attention to the perspective of Elson City.
But in the next second, she stopped in her tracks.
Because Camilla suddenly felt a familiar magic wave entering the city. The memory of coldness, grievance, and boredom suddenly rushed into her mind, making her expression extremely ugly.
"The Holy Assembly... has finally found this place."
She slowly clenched her fist, the violent magic wave fluctuating due to her emotions, but quickly dissipated. "After staying silent for so long, what do you want by coming here now?"
Camilla's feeling was not wrong. At this time, it was the four members of the "Holy Assembly" who walked into the city gate of Elson City.
They were all dressed up as merchants, and did not reveal their identity as arcanists. Because it was during the magic conference, the security at the city gate was much stricter than usual. Therefore, the four of them had to leave their fake identities and backgrounds at the registration office and were questioned for a long time before they entered the city.
The other caravan behind them was obviously a regular visitor of Elsen City. The process of questioning and registration was much faster. The leader of the caravan greeted the captain of the city defense team and promised to treat them to a meal. Then they quickly entered the city.
There was nothing wrong with the caravan itself, but the mercenaries escorting the caravan were not the usual ones. The leader of the mercenaries was none other than Elder Dominic of the Holy Assembly!
The other eleven mercenaries in the team were all arcanists of the Holy Assembly.
The two groups of people were members of the Holy Assembly. But no one could have guessed that the four arcanists who had entered the city before did not know that the twelve people behind them were the main force of the Holy Assembly!
The sly Dominic's understanding of the High Elves was far superior to the Magicians of the Kingdom of Karen. Not only did he prepare a badge that could hide his aura, but he also deliberately issued another mission: to gather four arcanists of the Holy Assembly who did not know about the High Elves to be "bait"!
If Camilla could sense the aura of the Holy Assembly, she would definitely lock onto the four arcanists in front of her. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind … Although there was no such saying on this continent, Dominic obviously had such a plan.
As for whether the four Magicians in front of him would die in the battle, Dominic did not care at all. The Holy Assembly had been waiting for too long, and Elsen City was too tempting for them. Therefore, they had to succeed this time!
Dominic, who was disguised as the captain of the mercenaries, had a thick beard on his face. In order to hide the magic waves, he had found someone to stick these things on his face. The handsome elder of the Holy Assembly was now wearing a dirty leather armor. When he spoke, he had a thick northwest accent. "Boss, you paid! Everyone did a good job this time! Let's go … I'll buy you a drink! "
"Okay!"
The other Arcana Masters were also very cooperative. These arcanists were all elite arcanists who had traveled the continent for a long time. Not only did they have strong magic power, but they also had much more experience than the younger ones. It could be said that they could learn anything they wanted. The four arcanists who had entered the city before were obviously much more inexperienced. After entering the city, they walked left and right, pretending to be wandering and trying to figure out the route at the same time. However, they did not know that they were being followed by the special service personnel of the Central Intelligence Agency of Elsen.
Dominic did not care about what they did. He only cared about playing his role. A group of mercenaries entered the lively tavern. At this time, the sky had just turned dark, and it was the time of the day. They also quickly learned about the progress of the magic conference in the city.
"What? You mean there are more than one hundred and ninety official Magicians in the city now? "
An arcanist asked in an exaggerated tone, which made the middle-aged man who had told the news very proud. Someone next to him immediately interrupted, "That's surprising? There are also six magisters here! "
"Wow … Elsen City is really powerful!"
The arcanist who followed the middle-aged man secretly glanced at Dominic. Obviously, he was worried about this. The less trouble they faced, the better. However, the sudden appearance of hundreds of sorcerers suddenly made the situation more complicated than they had imagined.
However, Dominic did not respond. He kept raising his glass, and only left the tavern with his people when the whole team was almost done drinking.
"Yes, there are many sorcerers, but it depends on where they come from."
Dominic said in the code language of the Holy Union. The other worried arcanists immediately changed the topic. They were thinking from the standpoint of the Holy Union, and they thought that all human beings were on the same side. But now that they thought about it, the relationship between Elsen and the royal family had deteriorated. Although this magic conference sounded good, there would definitely be a lot of conflicts in the open and in the dark!
"There will be more opportunities. Just listen to my orders when the time comes."
Dominic staggered towards the tavern with a group of people. But just before the door, he suddenly looked to the side in confusion.
The other subordinates followed his gaze and saw that there was a busy commercial street not far away. The magic lights were still on even after dark. There were even more people coming and going than during the day.
"Captain?"
"Oh, nothing …"
Dominic retracted his gaze from a woman and shook his head. "Strange … Maybe I was mistaken. Come, let's go back and rest. "
The High Elf elder walked towards the tavern. He did not take the figure he had just seen to heart. After all, he was far more powerful than any human Magician in the Kingdom of Karen. As long as they had magic power, it would be difficult for them to escape his detection.
But this time, he had clearly miscalculated.
Because the figure that had disappeared at the corner of the street was none other than the Frost Dragon Kardashian.
Strolling along the streets of Elsen, Kardashian's footsteps were relaxed. She looked left and right as if she was curious about everything.
This was mainly because she was "young". Dragons basically lived in the protected areas of their race for the first 100 years of their lives. By the time Kardashian was qualified to leave the protection and explore the world, the High Elf civilization had almost completely disappeared.
Having never seen a High Elf city in perfect condition, she naturally could not get tired of looking at everything in front of her. Unlike her brother, Kardashian was not indifferent to things outside of battle. Anyway, there was no one to supervise her, so she had to go at her own pace.
She wore a light blue robe. The long horns on her head had already disappeared through transformation. After taking out a veil and putting it on, the people around her would no longer pay attention to her beautiful face.
Compared to her brother Alva, Kardashian was much more carefree because of her father's love. So when she thought that this was Roddy's city, she could not help but think of "pranking" the other party.
Although Dragons had a sense of superiority, it did not mean that they were serious and old-fashioned like machines. Kardashian was now pretending to be an ordinary human. To put it bluntly, she wanted to wait for the right time to scare the other party. She very much looked forward to seeing the surprised expression on the other party's face when he recognized her. It was possible that the other party would be scared to the ground.
As Kardashian was thinking about this, she suddenly heard about the "magic exchange" in the process of wandering around. She listened carefully and suddenly became playful. She immediately ran to the entrance of the bottom floor of the Pasha Magic Tower to register.
Elsen City welcomed all foreign Mages, but there was a step during the registration, which required the Mages to report their origins. Puzzled, Kardashian asked, "What's wrong? Do Mages have bloodlines like nobles? "
"That's not what I meant, dear Mage."
The one who answered her was none other than the knight Cauchy, who had met Roddy once before. After climbing mountains and rivers to Elsen City, he quickly found a clerical job with his "non-illiterate" ability. Usually, he was responsible for the management of the city's internal propaganda, but now he was temporarily in charge of the registration of Mages because of the "magic exchange".
Because he came from the eastern part of the kingdom, he was more familiar with the mages there. Therefore, when facing a mage who came to register, Cauchy only needed to take a look at the Magic Tower or Family to quickly and accurately classify them. But the mage in front of him with a veil made it difficult for him to distinguish, so he continued, "The registration of origin is to make the arrangement of the laboratory more reasonable. Sir Mage, if you are not willing to tell us, we don't have to fill it in. But when it comes to arranging the laboratory, we can only arrange the lowest standard laboratory. "
