On the other side of the call, on the highest floor of the central tower in Wulian City, the president of the Sijia branch, the great mage Orange Eaton, was also digesting the information he had just received. He shook the bell on the table, which was to call out to the disciples serving him.
Although they had become official mages, there were still people who chose to stay by their teacher's side instead of going out to explore. This was the case for the people who came in. What's more, the benefits of staying by the side of a person with real power were indescribable. Those who were allowed to stay were all the best among the disciples.
The old man looked at one of his proud young disciples who came in and did not bother to be polite or ask about his well-being. Instead, he directly ordered, "In the internal evaluation, raise the ranking of the Tower of the Great Sage to the green level."
According to the grades of magic stones, people in the Maze World were used to grading other things. Among the seven grades of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, the green level could be said to be the highest level that a three-story magic tower could get. Above that would be the evaluation given to a four-story or five-story magic tower.
This rating could be said to be important, but it could also be said to be a threat. The original Tower of the Great Sage was at the lowest level of the red level. After turning in the browser and other magical knowledge, it could be promoted to the orange level. Now, it skipped the yellow level and directly reached the green level. This made the young disciple a little unconvinced.
"Teacher, no matter how much you admire this tower master, it's not appropriate to promote him to the green level in one go."
"If the magic tower under your control can wipe out a team of inspectors without letting a single one go, then I'll be the one to do it. I'll treat you with the same importance. "
Although this battle record could not be said to be shocking, it was enough to frighten people. The disciple who came in widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Is this true? Isn't he just bragging? "
"That's why I want you to temporarily make changes in the internal evaluation and not leak it out. Next, I'll have to contact the little brother from Katz and get some information from him. It's enough for him to feel the pain of the death of the Reaper Team. "
This was even more shocking news! This sounded like something that would only happen if a small team of inspectors broke into a five-story Tower of the Great Sage that was under the control of the Warlock Saint. However, it happened to the Tower of the Great Sage that everyone had despised for a long time.
Orange Eaton didn't rush his students to carry out the tasks that he had given them. After all, he had only received the news unilaterally and had yet to verify it.
Sending people to the Tower of the Great Sage to investigate would take some time, but that wasn't urgent. The easier thing to do now was to contact the young friend in the Carditz District and sound him out.
This had nothing to do with admiring or protecting the tower master. It was just that the other branch had sent a supervisor to manage the Magic Tower under his jurisdiction. When he knew about it and still did not ask about it, the other branch was bound to do something even more outrageous. At that time, he would lose even more face.
Once again, he used the Charles Summoning Spell. This time, the target was the Cartier District Branch Headquarters, President Gregory Otto.
The otherworldly version of the long-distance video chat was still unreasonable. Even if the other party was the esteemed guild leader, he still connected when he said he wanted to. The person on the other side of the screen also seemed to be frightened by the sudden appearance of this old face.
In fact, the etiquette of using this magic should be to first send a message of an agreed time and then meet at the agreed time. This was to avoid any sudden incidents where the other tower master wasn't in the tower or bumped into something that shouldn't be seen.
But Orange Eaton enjoyed the frightened expressions of the others, or the occasional surprise from the screen. This was one of the few hobbies he had at his age. The most wonderful thing was that no one dared to complain about him. First, he had a fierce reputation in the past. Second, the other three branch presidents in the Southwest Peninsula of the continent were all his juniors. These two major factors allowed him to run amok.
Just like this time, when he suddenly connected to Gregory Otto. The other party just curled his lips, but he still didn't dare to lack the necessary etiquette and greetings.
Orange Eaton didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. He said, "Young friend, I heard that you sent a small team of supervisors to the Magic Tower under my jurisdiction."
Gregory Otto had a deep understanding of the old man's bad habit of suddenly appearing, going straight to the point, and catching people off guard. In addition, he had climbed to his current position and had long been trained to remain calm and collected.
In the face of this sudden sentence. Gregory Otto's first reaction was that the small team had succeeded, and then the old man in front of him had come to ask for the people after receiving the news. He laughed and intended to play dumb. "Mr. Eaton, what are you talking about? Why don't I know?"
"I've heard the report from the tower master under my jurisdiction, and I believe he doesn't have to lie about this."
Failed, and the people weren't caught? Gregory Otto thought to himself, but his expression didn't change.
"However, the tower master under my jurisdiction only recognized one name from their conversation — Keos. He couldn't know the identities of the other four people. Considering that I need to verify the identities of the others, and that you can't get the information, I can only take the initiative to ask you. "
These words made Gregory Otto's expression change for the first time. He asked, "All gone?"
"It should be all gone."
"Are you sure? Mr. Eaton. "
"I'm not sure at all, that's why I came to ask you. Now that the forum is so convenient, presumably you will also have a set of secret communication methods. So, on your side, has anyone reported this to you? "
Gregory Otto didn't care about acting, but directly summoned the Water Mirror and operated the forum. After a while, he sighed in disappointment. He looked back at the old president who was smiling and waiting quietly. After a long time, he spat out a sentence. "Occasionally, we meet this kind of person."
Orange Eaton was stunned by such a sigh, and then said in agreement, "Yes, occasionally, we meet this kind of person."
The 'this kind of person' they were talking about referred to those mages who were not very talented, because the accumulation of magic power and authority was not as fast as the average mage, causing their own strength to be low. But as long as they were stationed in a magic tower, they could use their intelligence and wisdom to make the tower more dangerous than the Mage Tower. There was no doubt that Gabriel Lin Tripwood had been evaluated by them as this kind of mage.
Gregory Otto reported five names. Among them, three were great mages, two were mages, and one of the relatively low-level ones was Keos. He said regretfully, "I really shouldn't have agreed to the Keos family's request to send their children's team of supervisors. My original instructions were only to negotiate with the other party. But it seems that they have succeeded in adding trouble to themselves and losing their lives in the process. "
"There are actually three great mages," Orange Eaton said in surprise.
The title of 'great mage' was conferred by the branch in each district. It was generally given to those who had made great contributions or were powerful enough to be recognized by everyone. It was also because it was recognized by the branch in each district that it might not be recognized by the branch in other districts.
If the title of 'great mage' was conferred or recognized by enough branches, this kind of person would be respectfully called a 'Mage Saint'. In other words, a Mage Saint must have both great strength and world-class fame.
But it didn't mean that a great mage would definitely lose to a Mage Saint. Sometimes the former's fame was not as good as the latter's, and the strength might be reversed. So when Orange Eaton learned that there were three great mages in the team of supervisors that were completely wiped out, he raised the danger level of the Tower of the Great Sage by one level. There were very few people who were given the title of 'great mage' because of great contributions. Most of the great mages relied on their strength to convince people. It was frightening to think that three of such powerhouses were gone at one time.
"Sir Eaton." Gregory Otto cupped his hands and asked, "Could you please send someone to retrieve the bodies and relics? I will send someone else to Wulian City to hand over to you. "
The branches in each district under the Society of Sorcerers were not like secular regimes, such as countries or nobles, who needed to compete for land, resources, and population. The original purpose of their establishment was only to serve the mages and spread magical knowledge. So there was no aggression or war between the branches in each district. Of course, private competition and competition were inevitable.
The cause of this incident, to put it bluntly, was a matter of commercial interests that could not be brought to the table. Instigated by a stakeholder, they sent a team of inspectors to investigate the matter. They had the intention of holding them accountable. This was already the most extreme approach. Now that they were killed by others, it proved that extreme actions did not work, and they could only find another way.
As for the request to retrieve the bodies, for the magical world of the Lost Land, it was quite important to seek the rest of the dead. As an organization that served the mages, it was difficult to refuse and must be respected. So Orange Eaton readily agreed to this request and ended the conversation with Gregory Otto.
The old man who had been in charge of the Sijia District for a long time was the most experienced and knowledgeable person among the four district presidents of the southwest peninsula of the mainland. But even so, he still felt that this matter was quite troublesome. After thinking for a moment, he sent someone to invite the great mage Grimwin, who was also a supervisor, and explained the whole story to him.
"Sir, you have met Cuipwood several times and have a good relationship. I would like to entrust this task to you. Can you? "
Grimwin pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, but use my method."
"Of course."
Both of them were experienced and knew what each other's concerns were. Because these people who were not strong themselves but relied on the Magic Tower to multiply their strength by several times, or even dozens of times, most of them had one thing in common, and that was a lack of security. If there was even the slightest sign of trouble, they would kill first.
Take this incident as an example. Orange Eaton and Grimwin both guessed that in the team of supervisors who went to the Tower of the Great Sage, other than Klaus, the other mages would not necessarily agree with the method of taking action. Because the duties of a supervisor did not include dealing with commercial disputes, it was still possible to negotiate as an emissary of the Association.
To be able to get to the position of a great mage, one would not be arrogant and incompetent, or be at the mercy of the younger generation. Not to mention, they were in someone else's tower, so they must be very careful. In the end, a selfish pig teammate took action. As a team, advancing and retreating together was the most basic attitude, and then they were all wiped out by the tower master …
No one escaped, and their lives were lost in vain. If they were not wronged, then what was?
