… …
After Felipe stepped onto the stage, the scene became much quieter. The sorcerers and apprentices began to whisper to each other. Viscount Carendia came to Lucien from somewhere with a glass of red wine that he had been tasting for a long time. He smiled and said to Lucien in a low voice, "Mr. Professor, I can guess why you're here. But let me remind you, if you want to fight, please finish it as soon as possible, or I'll ask you to leave. Although I'd like to see two top fifth-circle sorcerers having a magic battle, the premise is that my castle and myself are not threatened. "
Lucien looked at Viscount Carendia in disdain and thought to himself, "You know what I'm here for? Even I don't know what I'm here for! "
The development of the whole thing was beyond Lucien's control and expectation. Lucien tasted the bitter fruit of being bold, decisive, and adventurous. He knew that any approach and any style of doing things could never only bring benefits and no harm!
Lucien's eyes were blocked by the hood, so he replied gently, "Maybe I'm just here to have a look. Sometimes, fighting is not the best way to solve problems. "
"Well, Mr. Professor, your words are full of philosophy. However, fighting is the best way to solve the problem of the enemy's body and soul. " Viscount Carendia straightened his back and looked at Felipe, as well as the four representatives chosen by the apprentices and necromancers: Ceci, the old necromancer; Tess, the pale and ordinary female necromancer; Quentin, the young necromancer with a kind smile; and Sidney, the horrifying necromancer with many stitches on his face and hands. They were also the only four middle-rank sorcerers in the territory of Wilfred. Two of them were four-circle sorcerers, and the other two were three-circle sorcerers.
The sorcerers who inherited the tradition of the ancient Magic Empire were used to following the strong. Therefore, the representatives elected to negotiate with Felipe were naturally the most powerful ones among them.
"You're not going to go up, Mr. Professor?" Viscount Carendia raised his glass at the half-high table with a smile.
"… Do I want to die?" Lucien continued to criticize in his heart, trying to find joy in the midst of bitterness while using seemingly profound words to cover up his behavior. "Sometimes, standing below, standing further away, can actually see more things."
Viscount Carendia turned around and clinked his glass with Lucien, "No wonder your nickname is Professor."
On the stage, Ceci said with his usual stiff expression, "Mr. Professor, thank you for inviting us, sorcerers and Sorcerers and apprentices who are always hiding like rats, to have a chance to gather together and to exchange magic knowledge and magic. items. knowledge. this is magic. To us, this is enough to be called a feast of death. It's a rare opportunity to increase our strength. Is there anything else you want to discuss with us? "
Felipe stared at Lucien. Seeing that Lucien was not going to come up, he turned to all the sorcerers and apprentices and said in a gloomy and loud voice, "I'm sure you've all been through a lot in the territory of Wilfred. For example, when you're sleeping, you're worried that the Church will find out who you are, when you're meditating and practicing magic, when you're being chased by adventurers, Knight, and Priest to the wild, where you don't know if you'll be able to see the sun rise in the morning."
In the country controlled by the Church, every sorcerer and apprentice had more or less similar experiences. Hearing Felipe's words, they all nodded in agreement.
"Well, Mr. Professor, you also think that Mr. Felipe is right?" Carendia was a bit surprised by Lucien's attitude.
"Of course, it's the truth. There's no need to deny it." Lucien looked like a broad-minded person.
Felipe continued, "You don't dare to tell your relatives and friends who you are. You don't have anyone to share the joy of your achievements. You don't have anyone to share the depression in your life and the depression in your experiments. With your power, you'll never be able to get the status that you deserve in public. "
"Such a life can be said to be sad and colorless. Do you still want to continue living such a life?"
As if Felipe had hit his sore spot, an apprentice couldn't help but whisper, "No, not at all!"
The apprentice's reaction was like a chain reaction, and the answer of "no" spread in the hall.
Lucien didn't say anything this time. He just looked at Felipe quietly and said, "If this guy tells me what I want to know in public, then my trip here will be worth it."
Tess, Quentin, Sidney, and Ceci all knew what Felipe was implying. After a glance at each other, Ceci said, "Mr. Felipe, I don't think anyone would want to live like this if they have other options. But can we get rid of this kind of life? Can the Continental Magic Congress help us? "
A gentle smile finally appeared on Felipe's pale face, "Yes, I'm here to help you. In the few countries where the Continental Magic Congress is located, sorcerers can do whatever they want in public. They can meditate and study magic in their own homes and laboratories without worrying about the Church coming to arrest them. Not only that, sorcerers are also allowed to be members of the city council in those countries, which is equivalent to the status of a lord. If you have enough power and prestige to become a member of the Royal Magic Academy, you'll be like a member of the Parliament of Nobles. "
"Really?!" Felipe's description was completely beyond the imagination of the necromancers and apprentices. Except for Lucien, they all thought that the Continental Magic Congress was a secret organization. Although it had a lot of resources and could protect the sorcerers and apprentices, it was not much different from an evil cult. However, from Felipe's words, it seemed that the status of a sorcerer was close to the "heaven" on earth in the ancient magic empire!
The sorcerers and apprentices were talking with each other in excitement.
At this time, Felipe raised his hand and made a gesture to silence everyone, "More importantly, in the headquarter of the Congress of Magic, as long as you're capable enough, you'll be able to get all kinds of meditation methods of different levels, as well as all kinds of magic materials and items. You'll also be able to learn the latest results of arcana and magic research based on your own knowledge. Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to go to the headquarter of the Continental Magic Congress? "
"Of course." Many apprentices already answered excitedly. The sorcerers, on the other hand, calmed down from the excitement and thought to themselves, "What does Felipe want us to do?"
It was such a nice place, and Felipe was obviously not a good man. Then, why would he send them to the headquarter of the Congress of Magic?
The sorcerers who were able to become sorcerers in such a harsh environment were not naive and kind. While they were happy, they were also a bit alarmed.
As the leader of the group, Cessy cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Felipe, I can answer for all of us that we all want to go to the Headquarter of the Magic Congress. However, I'd like to ask you to tell us what you want us to do."
Felipe nodded in satisfaction, "The Church has blocked the way to the Headquarter of the Magic Congress, so I need to pay a price to break through the blockade."
Felipe stopped and changed the topic, "Since the ancient Magic Empire, the eight major sorcerers have been fighting against each other because of their different strengths. Even in the Congress of Magic, there are several new sorcerers, and the conflicts are still going on. Therefore, unity is the best way to survive and get a better environment. "
"I'm a member of the Hand of Paleness, which was established by Mr. Vicente Miranda, the grand arcanist, and Mr. Congus, the legendary sorcerer, after integrating many necromancer organizations. You're all necromancers, so joining the Hand of Paleness is the most appropriate choice. "
Lucien was looking forward to what Felipe was going to say, but he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, "Why do I feel like I'm being sold out?"
Although the sorcerers and apprentices here did not know about the grand arcanist, a legendary sorcerer was still a great deterrent to them. Tess stepped forward and said, "If there's really a legendary sorcerer, I'm definitely willing to join the Hand of Paleness. But what do you need us to do after joining? "
Growing up in such a harsh environment, Tess did not forget about other things.
Felipe nodded to Tess, "After joining the Hand of Paleness, you'll be given a magic item of your own level, and you'll have a powerful and knowledgeable teacher to guide you. You'll be able to integrate the ancient magic system into the current one as soon as possible, and we won't take any of the profits you get from your adventures, papers, or new spells. The only thing we ask of you is that when the organization needs you, you can't refuse. If you complete the task, you'll be rewarded, and if you fail, you'll be punished. "
"It's more and more like a pyramid scheme …" Lucien thought, waiting for Felipe to reveal the contact.
Even though Felipe's words were very pleasant, the words "can't refuse" still woke the necromancers and apprentices up.
"Sure enough, there's no such thing as a free lunch."
Lucien asked cautiously, "What if we don't accept the task?"
"If you're a senior-rank sorcerer, you'll have to pay a fine or choose an alternative task. If you're a senior-rank sorcerer or below, you'll have to pay a fine, physical punishment, mental punishment, or even death depending on the importance of the task." Felipe replied coldly, "According to the latest arcana theories, energy is conserved. Therefore, if you want to get something in this world, you have to pay a price. You can make your own choice."
"Of course, because of the limitation of the number of sorcerers, we'll only bring formal sorcerers to the Headquarters of the Magic Council. As for the apprentices, as long as you sign the magic contract, I'll leave you some books and materials to help you become a sorcerer as soon as possible. In the future, there'll be a special envoy coming to pick you up every year. "
Because of Felipe's words, most of the apprentices were not very disappointed when they heard that they would not have the chance to go to the Headquarters of the Magic Council for the time being. However, what Felipe said later gave them hope. After all, a task that they could not refuse did not mean that they would die.
After Felipe finished, he did not look at the necromancers and apprentices, but stared at Lucien, because this was the best chance for him to stop the Hand of Paleness from recruiting new blood.
