The Northern Witch Council.
Arendelle's Ice Witches.
The two originally didn't have much interaction. Although Princess Royal had great strength, she was very arrogant in terms of interpersonal relationships. You could feel it from her attitude towards Søren. If it weren't for the close relationship between Søren and the Northern Witch Council, and the Northern Witch Council sent a delegation to Arendelle, perhaps Princess Royal might not be willing to take the initiative to contact them.
There was no other way.
Princess Royal had always been like this.
The Northern Witch Council was a relatively formal wizard organization, and its internal organizational structure was comparable to the Wizard Alliance. In contrast, Arendelle's Ice Witches were slightly worse. Because of their special bloodline, there were many female warlocks in Arendelle. Many of them were members of the royal family or members who inherited the bloodline of the warlock family. One-third of the Ice Witches were warlocks, and many of them were born with the ability to control ice and snow.
This should be a family trait.
Perhaps it was overshadowed by Princess Royal's brilliance, the outside world had never understood much about the Ice Witches. They only knew that Arendelle had a very powerful Royal Witch Council.
The Eldest Princess could more or less guess the purpose of the Northern Witches' diplomatic mission.
Compared to the closed environment of the Frost Kingdom, the territory controlled by the Northern Witches was much more complicated. This meant that after the outbreak of the Avatar Crisis, the problems they faced had increased a lot.
First, there was the rebellion of the Lizardmen.
The outbreak of the flood last year had affected the present. The Lizardmen's attacks on humans had not been completely eradicated, and the Witch Council was temporarily unable to clean them up because the false god that the Lizardmen served seemed to have made a move.
Then there was the church of the Lady of Poison.
In order to expand her influence in the mortal world, the plague spread by the Lady of Poison had stopped. However, traces of the Witherers still frequently appeared in the north of the continent. To deal with the church of an evil god, even the Northern Witch Council did not dare to act rashly.
Other than that.
With the outbreak of the Avatar Crisis, resources were increasingly scarce. There was also a rebellion near Deepwater City. The low-level civilians were restless, and the evil forces of the outside world were eyeing covetously. If it weren't for the financial assistance from the City of Modor, the Northern Witch Council would have been in chaos. The large number of orders from the City of Mordor greatly eased the financial crisis of the Northern Witch Council, and also provided opportunities for lower-class civilians to work to support themselves. Moreover, the close relationship with the City of Mordor also made many enemies who were secretly spying on them not dare to act rashly. However, Mordor City was still far away in the sea after all. If something big really happened, even if Søren wanted to help, he wouldn't be able to react in a short time.
Therefore, the Northern Witch Council needed a powerful ally nearby.
At this time, there were not many candidates in the eyes of the Northern Witches. First of all, the allies they chose could not have too complicated relationships. Too complicated relationships meant that there were many potential enemies. While gaining a powerful ally, the Northern Witch Council may also have new and more dangerous enemies.
At this time, Arendelle, who was relatively isolated, was included in their list of priorities.
The situation of Arendelle was special.
First of all, it was a relatively isolated country. It didn't have much contact with the outside world, and there were not many enemies on the table. It was not far from the Northern Witch Council. Then, the relationship between Arendelle and the City of Mordor was very close. At least in the outside world, Princess Anna of Arendelle was said to be the lover of His Excellency Søren. Even recently, there were rumors that Her Majesty Princess Royal had a very close relationship with His Excellency Søren. Regardless of whether these gossipy rumors were true or false, there was no doubt that Arendelle had a close relationship with the City of Mordor.
Arendelle — the City of Mordor — the Northern Witch Council.
After realizing that they needed more powerful allies, the Northern Witch Council finally decided to send a delegation to Arendelle. The leader was even a legendary witch who held power within the Witch Council.
The City of Mordor was still too far away.
Søren chose the Outer Islands in order to avoid the direct impact of the Storm of Catastrophe. In this increasingly chaotic environment, the Northern Witch Council must form an offensive and defensive alliance with a nearby powerful force.
…
Outer Islands, the City of Mordor.
In just a few days, the City of Mordor had undergone earth-shaking changes. There were large construction sites everywhere outside the city. Strong men who worked by the sea all year round carried tools with their bare arms. Slogans sounded one after another at the construction site, and many women also joined in the labor. The mysterious wizards did not seem to be so rare. At least they could be seen in many construction sites. Compared to ordinary people with low education, the amount of knowledge that spellcasters had was far beyond their imagination.
This kind of knowledge was not only reflected in spells, but also in architecture, culture, nature, religion, and so on.
Naturally, the wizards were not likely to do it themselves. They were more like the general supervisors of the project. Recently, the higher-ups of the City of Mordor wanted them to develop something similar to cement. This was really a bit troublesome for the wizards who were used to relying on the "mud to stone" spell, but after all, the spell could not be applied to such a large-scale construction, so in the end, Saruman had to lead a team to try it. The level of architecture in this world was about equivalent to the Middle Ages, but if you want to make cement, you have to consider the different rules of the world.
Making it was not the key. Wizards had many alchemy creations that could replace cement, but those could only be applied to expensive buildings like wizard towers.
The most important thing was that this alchemy creations could be mass produced and popularized, which was the result that the higher-ups of the City of Mordor wanted to see.
Looking down at the City of Mordor from the sky.
A huge ring could be seen, which was composed of the City of Mordor, Port Mordor, and twelve towns that were being expanded. Every place had a landmark building, which was the temple of the half-elf church.
The Great Temple in the central square was the core.
This was actually a very large magic circle, with Søren's belief network as the core, relying on the Great Temple in the City of Mordor as the carrier, and the temples in the other twelve towns as branches. It was also an independent small network that connected the beliefs of the half-elf church.
This was actually a magic circle.
The wizards' in-depth understanding of the magic network finally gave birth to the powerful magic circle [Magic Circle].
The magic circle was like an independent local area network. In some powerful magic circles, the controller could even seal the casting ability of others.
Was this not very similar to the magic network?
If the Goddess of Magic deprived a wizard of his ability to cast spells, the effect would be the same.
The magic circle was first born in the Age of Thorium. From the beginning, it was the result of the analysis of the structure of the magic network by the great arcanists. If there were not always a few great arcanists who wanted to kill the Goddess of Magic, perhaps the Goddess of Magic would not be so eager to close the inner layer of the magic network and only open the core application of the magic network to other gods.
[Magic Circle] was one of the core structures of the floating city.
The wizard tower in the shadow plane was covered with a small magic circle. It seemed that the former owner of the wizard tower also wanted to expand to the level of the floating city.
This was equivalent to a local area network.
The deeper the understanding of the magic network, the more powerful the user was, and the more amazing the magic circle's ability was!
During the Arcane Empire, the most famous floating cities could even directly block the casting ability of all wizards below the legendary level. Once they entered the floating city with the magic circle, they would become similar to ordinary people. Only after obtaining the casting license ([Local Area Network Pass]) issued by the Arcanist Council of the floating city, these people could regain the ability to cast spells in the floating city. (Note: This is why it is called [Magic Circle]. This is a lock.)
Incredible, right?
This was actually the magic circle that was mentioned more than once in the wizard books – [Anti-Magic Field]!
However.
At present, there was no magic circle of this level in the material plane. They had been lost for a long time.
When Søren first designed the distribution of the town, he divided the location according to a specific law. The location of the temples in each city was specially calculated. When these temples were all built, they would form a connection with the great temple in the central square of the city of Modor.
Twelve was a very special number.
These twelve temples formed the core part of the magic circle that had not yet fully formed on the city of Modor. At present, there was almost no abnormality. The role of the temples and magic circle was only to regulate the climate of the island of Modor. With the help of Søren's priesthood, faith, and divine power, this huge magic circle formed an invisible protective barrier, making the climate of the city of Modor smoother. But when it was really formed, then the magic circle in front of him had a very terrible power.
The Northern Witch Council had a [Magic Circle].
This [Labyrinth] was found in the ruins of Silvermoon City. It took hundreds of years for the Northern Witch Council to restore the labyrinth with the power of everyone. Then, it relied on the power of the Wizard Tower to rebuild the labyrinth.
It was actually the same thing over the city of Modor.
The person in charge of the whole magic circle was the leader of the half-elf church, the high priest appointed by Søren. The role of the twelve temples was equivalent to replacing the wizard tower. Each temple was personally supervised by her.
This was a magic circle built with the temple as the foundation instead of the wizard tower!
The third phase of the project of Modor was also to serve this huge [Magic Circle]. Søren's third phase of expansion was a plan for the whole island, and this plan was to make it easier to perfect the magic circle in the following arrangements. What he was doing now was like flattening the island like a piece of paper, then drawing according to his will on this flat piece of paper. The twelve shrines were only the fulcrum of the entire framework on the paper, and what he needed to do next was to fill in the rest of the empty space.
Earth, water, wind, fire.
The whole island was in a very grand blueprint, and now the layout had just been completed.
