On the western side of the grand royal palace of Rodu, there was a nine-story Magus Tower.
The black nine-story Magus Tower was like a giant beast. Only at night would this massive tower glow with silver light, accentuating its status as the tallest tower in Rodu, as well as its status as the holy land of magic casters on the Norland Continent.
At this moment, on the highest level of the nine-story Magus Tower, there were 10 elderly magic casters sitting around a round redwood table in a circular conference room, conducting the monthly round-table conference of the Magus Tower.
Only the elders of the Magus Tower were allowed to participate in this conference. There was an empty chair in the corner, and it appeared to be a little out of place.
An elderly man with white hair and a black beard sat at the head of the table, and said in a weathered voice, "That's pretty much everything for this month. The war in the southwest has been alleviated recently, and there's no need for reinforcements from our Magus Tower for the time being. The evil dragons have also been less active recently, and they haven't caused too much harm to the civilian population, so there's no need to immediately exterminate them."
As the grand elder of the Magus Tower, Richard had been presiding over the round-table conference for over 40 years.
All the elders nodded. The expressions on their faces were rather relaxed. This meant that in the following period of time, there was no need for these old fellows to personally rush about to deal with the evil dragon. After getting older, not many people were willing to run around, even if they were riding on griffins.
"I heard that Crassus recently accepted a little disciple in Chaos City, and it's a half-elf little girl? He's been looking for a disciple for several decades; is he going to give up on himself? " Brent was a little obese, and his magus robe was about to burst open. There was a hint of mockery in his voice.
"That's not necessarily the case. Didn't Julian appear as well? They fought over his disciple, and the two of them ended up taking the same disciple in Chaos City."
"Oh? Is that so? Those two old guys have been fighting for close to 100 years, and neither of them is willing to concede to the other. Now, they're already half-dead, and they're still taking the same disciple? And it's a half-elf little girl? "
"Aren't half-breeds all very lacking in aptitude? Furthermore, their magic is at the extremes of close-range and long-range. If someone were to learn their magic at the same time, the most likely outcome would be to go insane, right? "
Everyone started discussing after hearing that. Being able to sit at this round table represented the pinnacle of the magic circle in the Roth Empire. Even if they weren't 10th-tier magic casters, they were at least the cream of the crop among the 9th-tier magic casters.
Because of that, they knew a lot more about Crassus and Julian, as well as the battle of ice and fire that was talked about by many in the world of magic. They also knew that the possibility of the two of them accepting the same disciple at the same time was close to zero.
If there was a possibility, it would probably be the elven princess who had stunned the entire Norland Continent over 10 years ago. The word "genius" was not enough to describe her. Only such a person could master the ultimate ice and fire magic at the same time, and learn both long-range and melee magic, right?
It was a pity that she had turned down Crassus and Julian's request to accept her as a disciple. Instead, she focused on life magic, and became the youngest 10th-tier magic caster on the entire continent at an astonishing speed, crushing all of the other prodigies on the continent.
If it weren't for the fact that Meg Alex was too dazzling, that era would've belonged to her. She would've set one record after another that no one in the magic circle would've been able to break, and her name would've been etched in history forever.
"It's true. Crassus has already asked Arthur to come back, and he's going to move all of his belongings to Chaos City, including his rooms full of gold coins. Looks like he's preparing to retire and teach his disciple in Chaos City." Elliot chuckled, and said, "Vice-president Crassus has always done things according to his wishes. Even if he's accepting a half-orc as his disciple, we shouldn't be surprised, right?"
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing that, but there was a hint of mockery in their smiles.
"That guy still doesn't take our Magus Tower seriously, as always." Richard's expression was rather dark, and his voice was rather low.
Countless prodigies had been sent to him over the years for him to choose as his disciple, but none of them had caught his eye. In the end, he went to Chaos City to find a half-elf girl, and now, he couldn't even be bothered to return to the Magus Tower. Instead, he sent a servant to move all of his belongings away.
The smiles on everyone's faces faded, and they all wore different expressions, but none of them said anything.
Everyone in the Magus Tower was aware of the conflict between Richard and Crassus.
It could be said that both of them had played a crucial role in the Magus Tower's current status.
In the first 50 years, Crassus had made the Magus Tower receive enough attention from the royal family of the Roth Empire, and that was how the nine-story Magus Tower was built. After Crassus stepped down as president, Richard spent several decades making the Magus Tower an indispensable pillar of the empire.
As such, the status of the two of them in the Magus Tower had always been a contentious issue. Even though most of the current council of elders had been promoted by Richard, Crassus' prestige in the Magus Tower and in the hearts of the magic casters wasn't inferior to Richard's by much. All of the elderly magic casters sitting around the round table were well aware of that.
"In that case, as an old friend, Crassus has finally accepted a disciple, so we should congratulate him with some gifts." Richard smiled as he looked at everyone present. His wrinkled finger tapped lightly on the table, and he suddenly stopped. "Most of our disciples are already middle-aged, and many of their disciples are already adults. I'll get George to bring some gifts as a token of our Magus Tower's congratulations."
"That's a good idea. We'll get him to bring our gifts as well." Everyone smiled, but their expressions were a little strange.
George Dobson was the proudest disciple of Richard's eldest disciple. He was only 12 years old, but he was already a 3rd-tier magic caster, and it was said that he was already on his way to becoming a 4th-tier magic caster. Although he was still a little inferior to Princess Irina, he was already an outstanding talent among the younger generation.
Richard was also very fond of this disciple of his, and often gave him guidance. This was also one of the reasons why he was able to progress so quickly.
This time, Richard had sent George to congratulate Crassus on accepting a disciple. In terms of seniority, it wasn't appropriate for him to go there with the intention of humiliating him. Furthermore, he had purposely picked a younger disciple, most likely to stir up trouble. Using a third-generation disciple to defeat a second-generation disciple of Crassus was a great humiliation.
