Regarding President Orange Eaton's disciple, Chuck Weiss annihilating the Mage Alliance of a district in one breath, none of the elders were not surprised. Even the teacher was stunned, but he didn't show it on his face. And the person in charge was not only surprised, but also furious.
Gregory Otto cast a few auxiliary and defensive spells on himself, completely entering combat mode. He was full of hatred, glaring at the young man in front of him, and said, "Do you know what stupid thing you did?"
"Killing a defected troop, preventing our army from falling into greater chaos, thus organizing and stopping the invasion of the abyss. If this is considered stupid, then there are too many smart people in this world. "Chuck Weiss said righteously.
Because what he said was too cold-blooded, ruthless, but also too reasonable, Gregory Otto gritted his teeth and said, "Have you ever thought that maybe not everyone thinks like this? It is the opinion of a few people, and the rest just have to follow the action. You should know the military rules of the Alliance, and you should know how much power the leader has. "
"Oh, just like when the people of the Coos family killed a whole team of supervisors."
"That is a different matter. That incident happened in the magic tower, and we have already decided to let bygones be bygones. But today, D people (500 people), the backbone of the entire district's branch who are the best at fighting, were slaughtered outside the tower. Even if it is a big crime, it will have to wait until after the trial. Now that the invasion of the demons is imminent, what is your intention in killing D mages? At this time of the invasion of the abyss, you want to trigger a civil war between humans, I reasonably suspect that you are the initiator of all this. "
"Oh, so it was me who summoned these demons. But why is it different from what I saw. " At the same time, Chuck Weiss waved his hand and summoned a water mirror screen. The screen was a forest in the dark, and only by the weak moonlight could one barely see.
In the dark, the outline of a person could be vaguely seen, and it was moving. Suddenly, a strange dark green light lit up, like a stream of light, swept past the runes and patterns of the magic array, showing that the magic array was working.
The array in the picture was also confirmed to be the magic array used to summon demons and open the Gate of the Abyss. However, after the confirmation, the entire process was irreversible. That was why they were prepared for this war.
The person controlling the magic array was obviously performing some kind of ritual. Using animals as living sacrifices, he took great pains to dig out their internal organs one by one and placed them in specific positions. The blood that flowed out of the dismembered animal did not pool into a small pool. Instead, it disappeared the moment it touched the ground. Rather than seeping into the soil, it was more likely to be absorbed by the magic array.
Chuck Weiss said, "The Tower of the Great Sage has a way to record the past. This is not a secret to most of the mages in the Sika District. Probably only the mages from other places don't know or care about it. Through the Arcane Eye, he could do the same thing. What everyone saw was the ritual process of opening a Gate of the Abyss. "
"So what? This doesn't mean anything. It can only be said that the opening of the Gates of the Abyss this time is not a natural phenomenon, but someone deliberately did it. "
"Of course, President Otto is right. If we weren't lucky enough to record this scene, it really wouldn't mean anything. "
After the entire ritual ended, the person in the picture quietly packed up everything and prepared to leave. Perhaps it was because the weather was too hot, or for some other reason, he put down the hood he had been wearing, and by chance, under the moonlight, his face was captured by the Arcane Eye. The image froze there, allowing everyone present to clearly see the face that didn't stand out at all.
Chuck Weiss continued, "According to the former Tower Master, after discovering the fluctuations of abnormal power gathering outside the tower, he tried to use the Arcane Eye to record the scene of the occurrence. But because the time of the occurrence was at night, he might not be able to record anything. In addition, the person performing the ritual carefully wore a hood to hide his appearance. So, most of the images obtained were like what we saw before, which was simply a ritual teaching to summon the Gate of the Abyss. It was only on this day that I accidentally saw this person's face. "
Although it was only a side profile on the screen, Chuck Weiss still used another water mirror to put a picture of the front. It was during the day, originally in the small town outside the Tower of the Great Sage, an inconspicuous man dressed as a farmer was shyly greeting the other townspeople.
When the two screens were placed together, it was easy to confirm that the person on the two screens was the same person. Chuck Weiss continued, "Unfortunately, he didn't know the purpose of the magic formation and ritual at first, so he didn't do anything to this person. By the time he found out, this person was already nowhere to be found. However, only a face was seen, and there were no obvious family emblems or other marks, so the former Tower Master didn't know who this person was, and the investigation was thus interrupted. "At this point, Chuck Weiss glanced at everyone present and said,
"Don't tell me that all of you know nothing about the gathering place outside the Tower of the Great Sage. Since everyone's background isn't clean, it's normal for us, who are half landlords, to investigate everyone's background. So the matter that the former Tower Master didn't have the ability to investigate aroused my curiosity. "
"You know that curiosity is a very dangerous thing." Gregory Otto said with a threatening tone.
"If a mage doesn't have curiosity, can he still be considered a mage?" Chuck Weiss retorted, not to be outdone. Then he said loudly, "Bohemu, no surname, and I don't know if Bohemu is his real name. In some places, codenamed Crow, is a notorious bounty hunter and killer living in the dark world. Some people think that he has the strength of a great mage. And the most interesting thing about this person is that he is someone's illegitimate son. After becoming a mage, he specialized in doing some dirty work for his father. Usually, he would take some private jobs. And as someone, President Otto, when your son performed the ritual to summon the devil and open the Abyss Gate, do you think you were completely unaware? "
When these words were said, the people present were not shocked. Maybe they had never seen his face, but the name Crow Bohemu was not unfamiliar to the high-ranking members of the Society of Sorcerers, who could stay in the nuclear room of the Tower of the Great Sage. As long as they knew the name, they would know more about the story behind it than Chuck Weiss.
Although the people were not shocked, they were somewhat enlightened. Because according to the rumors, Crow's mother was a member of the Kos family, which was the hope of this generation of the family. But she died in the Tower of the Great Sage, the family of the supervising mage.
With this layer of relationship, it was equivalent to having financial power and power at the same time. So, it was not that difficult to collect the materials and the ritual to open the Abyss Gate.
At the same time, at the beginning of the war, the strange behavior of the Cartier district's mage alliance could be explained very well. All of this was for revenge.
The early discovery of the Abyss Gate and the establishment of such a huge defense system. Those who wanted revenge had to think of another way. And the first half of this situation was the answer they thought of.
No matter how complete the defense was, it would be broken from the inside.
For a well-prepared human army, what was easier to tear apart than creating chaos from the inside? So, someone ordered his subordinates to do such a thing. In order to force the majority of the noble lords and the other three district's mage alliance to retreat.
As long as they did not do stupid things like holding their ground, they would have a chance to survive. Because Gregory Otto's original intention was to target the Tower of the Great Sage. Although the tower owner was not in the tower now, as long as the tower was destroyed, the mage would be at the mercy of others.
It was just that Gregory Otto guessed the beginning, but not the end.
He originally thought that the law did not punish the majority. As long as the Cartier district's mage alliance retreated smoothly, and the troops in other directions suffered heavy losses, in order to complete the D people (500 people) mage alliance's combat power, no matter what they did, they had to compromise. Even if it was done well, they could take advantage of this opportunity to override the other three district's mage alliance.
But the mage army that he relied on was slaughtered in the blink of an eye. Leading the team, in addition to a few proud disciples, there were also two of his sons. How could Gregory Otto accept such a loss.
In addition, his relationship with Bohemu was exposed, and Bohemu presided over the summoning of demons and the opening of the Abyss Gate. These two things would put Gregory Otto in danger.
Of course, for Gregory Otto, such a crisis was not without a solution. The easiest way was to first solve the source of the rumors, and then slowly clarify or reverse the doubts. So his eyes became extremely sharp, staring straight at the young man who was talking nonsense. He said:
"You don't think that you can be forgiven after slandering me like this. Even if you are a student of Old Eton, you should know that there are still people in this world you can't offend. "
"Otto, what do you want to do!" Orange Eaton stood between his student and the person whose plot was exposed.
To be honest, he was now a little complaining. If his student had informed him in advance and let him understand the cause and effect, he would have a more delicate and reliable way to deal with this matter. Unlike now, it was like flipping a table, with no room for negotiation.
