The Goddess of Magic's virginity was a joke that had been circulating in the world of Mages for hundreds of years.
Mystra was born into a large noble family and had been learning magic with the support of her family since she was a child. She was a genius and learned quickly. At the age of fourteen, she was already an Elite Mage, and she even created the spell Long-Range Arrow Defense.
Generally speaking, the new spells that a Mage invented and created were related to his or her living environment.
Melf, because of the harsh living environment when he was a child, created the Acid Arrow against trolls, and then because of the bullying of evil gods, invented Melf's God-Slaying Spell.
As for Mordenkainen, he was born in an era when Mages were few and weak, so the spells he invented were all attack spells of all sizes, and he invented a system of spell models to reduce the difficulty of learning spells in order to cultivate more of his kind.
Finally, in order to kill the Goddess of Fate, he created Mage's Disjunction (unverifiable legend).
And the reason why Mystra invented Long-Range Arrow Defense was simple.
She was a member of a large family, and since she could remember, she had seen her grandmother, her brother, her uncle, and other relatives die by the long-range arrow assassination of hostile nobles.
The Hawkeye Longbow was a nightmare for all spellcasters back then.
Within four hundred meters, if he said he would shoot someone in the eye, he would never shoot in the mouth.
But just defending against long-range arrows was still easy for the longbow's powerful shot to penetrate the protective spell layer, and then Mystra invented the Arrow Deflection spell.
Together, the two spells finally gave the Mages the courage to speak in front of the Hawkeye Longbow.
Then the Mages counterattacked and destroyed the Hawkeye Longbow, the most troublesome class for Mages back then.
Incidentally, they ended their legacy.
Now there was no Hawkeye Longbow in the whole world.
In fact, it wasn't just the Mages; other classes hated the Hawkeye Longbow too, so the whole world watched as the Hawkeye Longbow was hunted down and destroyed by the Mages without helping.
And the Goddess of Magic's virginity incident was also related to her invention of this spell.
After inventing the two spells, Mystra had become quite famous.
So her family arranged for her to marry the son of a powerful grand duke.
After the two met, they both felt good and got along quite well.
But unfortunately, a disaster happened.
One day, the Grand Duke's son invited Mystra to his manor. At that time, the Hawkeye Archers hadn't been completely wiped out, and someone had sneaked into the vicinity of the manor, ready to kill Mystra, the woman who had invented two spells against archers.
The Hawkeye Archer successfully locked onto the target, and when the arrow was about to hit Mystra, the Arrow Deflection spell she carried all year round took effect.
The arrow was deflected to the side of the Grand Duke's son, passing through his crotch.
The arrows fired by the Eagle-eyed Archers could easily pierce through a centimeter-thick steel plate, let alone flesh and blood.
At that time, the Grand Duke's son's legs were badly mangled and he fainted.
Although the people were later saved and the thing was regrown with magic, for some reason, the Grand Duke's son had a mental illness and couldn't get hard no matter what.
Even soul magic couldn't cure it.
After offering a lot of compensation, Mystra and the Grand Duke's son had nothing to do with each other.
Then her family helped her find a count's son. He was handsome, had a rich family, and had a decent personality, and the two got along well.
Then another disaster happened. On the seventh day of the official engagement, the marquis's son took his family's private army to the mountains to banish bandits. He came back, but only his lower body.
At this time, there were already rumors that Mystra was a jinx.
In the end, the family helped Mystra find a marquis's son, who wasn't well liked. It was said to be a marriage alliance, but it was actually used as a hostage.
And this hostage was actually very promiscuous. He didn't dare to mess around with Mystra, but he did to his own maids.
Many maids got pregnant by him and were abandoned.
It was considered a broken pot.
As a result, something happened to this marquis's son, and he disappeared one night.
The next day, he was found naked and dead in a stinking ditch outside his manor, and that thing was gone.
After that, no one dared to marry Mystra again.
In this world, people believed very much in things like fate, or curses.
In the eyes of the world, Mystra was cursed to remain a virgin forever.
All kinds of funny and unpleasant rumors rose one after another.
This also became an enduring joke in the magic world.
Mystra's virginity was as magical and charming as the dwarves' stone wives.
After the jokes were made about Mystra, the atmosphere in the conference room gradually fell silent again.
"It stands to reason that after a new spell is sacrificed to Mystra, she will feed it back to the altar in a short time for anyone to learn," Alfred said slowly. "But this time is different. The spell model hasn't appeared for so long. This reminds me of the Inferior Blue Fireball from before. It's said that the Inferior Blue Fireball has also appeared and disappeared, so I suspect that Roland's spell this time is also very powerful, and the Goddess of Magic wants it for herself and doesn't want to announce it again. "
"Too selfish." A senior elder shouted in dissatisfaction.
Another elder said, "But it doesn't matter, Roland is still with us. It doesn't matter if Mystra gives us the spell model or not. As long as we get on good terms with Roland, wouldn't it be easy to get that spell? "
Alfred's expression was relaxed as he said with a smile, "Mystra's greatest weakness is that she has too few believers. There are too few of us Mages who are willing to believe in her, which makes her growth very slow and limited. And she's not releasing the spell model now, probably with the intention of controlling the spell model and eventually blackmailing and controlling us. "
Everyone nodded, thinking that Alfred had a point.
"So I think that when we have new spells in the future, don't sacrifice them to Mystra, the Goddess of Magic, but keep them for ourselves, and only those who pass our test can learn them. In this way, one day, we can catch up to Mystra's level and finally overthrow her from her position as the Goddess of Magic, and the divine position will be ours to sit on. "
Hearing Alfred's words, everyone smiled mysteriously.
The high-level Mages, especially the Legendary Mages, were a bunch of madmen.
They believed that if Mystra could become a god, they had a chance to become one too.
But there was only one Divine Spark of Magic, so to become gods, they had to drag Mystra down.
Then they could go up.
And they were working hard for this. The establishment of the major Magic Towers at first was just for the exchange of magic knowledge, but now, the academic fanatics and Legendary Mages of the various Magic Towers were already very inflated, or it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were quite confident.
They felt that when a Mage reached the Legendary level, the next step would be to set their sights on the Demigod level and finally become the new God of Magic.
Now that everyone was weak, they would first unite, and when they were strong, they would decide on a new leader of magic, and when this leader of magic became a god, he would return and bring them to the divine realm of magic knowledge.
Therefore, the upper echelons of the various Magic Towers were not interested in Mystra.
There was even a fair amount of hostility.
As for the various Magic Towers having temples of the Goddess of Magic, that was because they also wanted to know what new spells Mystra had recently acquired.
"One more thing, now Roland has once again refreshed our understanding of his talent." Alfred tapped the wooden table and focused everyone's attention on him. "In any case, we have to speed up the implementation of our plan. Next, you will gather intelligence on Roland, first figure out what he likes and dislikes, become friends with him, and find a way to get him to hand over the new spell models. Buy with gold coins, exchange spell models, and so on, as long as you don't use forceful and underhanded methods. "
"According to my personal experience, the method of trading spell models should work," Murphy interjected.
"Then go ahead and try it first." Alfred nodded. "Next, I will make a trip back to my country and then invite the First Princess to the Red Magic Tower as a guest."
The members of the Council of Elders all understood something, and they all revealed wretched smiles.
At the same time, Roland and Andonara returned to the manor.
Marilyn the catgirl was still hanging from a branch, and when she saw Roland, her big teary eyes were full of pleading.
Roland didn't look at her but went straight into the laboratory in the stone building.
Andonara stood below the catgirl and looked up at the latter, her pretty face full of a mischievous smile. "Haven't you realized your mistake yet, little catgirl!"
Humph!
Marilyn turned her head away from Andonara.
Because she thought that Roland would help her sooner or later.
There was no reason why, she just believed so.
So, she couldn't admit defeat to this vicious woman.
Seeing her profile, Andonara knew what she was thinking.
She said slowly, "You know, I'm the queen, and I know how to deal with disobedient kittens, because there are a lot of kittens in the palace. But you're Roland's cat, so I won't do anything to you. But if you're still not convinced, I'll complain to Roland, saying that you're wild and untameable, and after a few more times, Roland will be disappointed in you and eventually kick you out of this house. "
Originally, Marilyn wasn't too scared, but after hearing this, her tail bristled.
For a catgirl, not having a home was quite a terrible thing.
Especially for a catgirl like her who had been living in hiding and was particularly insecure.
After living in a secure place for a while, she had become addicted to this kind of stable and safe life.
If she were to become like that again, living every day in a state of constant anxiety, it would be an extremely terrifying thing.
Immediately, her eyes that looked at Andonara were filled with more fear.
Seeing the change in her expression, Andonara smiled with satisfaction.
At this moment, in the magic laboratory, Roland was also stunned.
Because a rare announcement popped up from the game system.
System: The game officials are about to hold an event. For details, please visit the official website.
Roland immediately opened the browser and found the new announcement.
