Chapter 155 Solicitation (Monthly Pass 2350 Extra Update)
- The first chapter is added, and the 100-month ticket is updated by one chapter
………………………………………………………………………………
As Felipe took the stage, the scene became much quieter, and the magicians and apprentices began to talk quietly. Viscount Kareneldia stood beside Lucian with the red wine he had tasted for a long time, and laughed softly: "Mr. Professor, I can probably guess the purpose of your visit to the feast of death. But let me remind you, if you want to fight, please solve it as soon as possible, otherwise I will ask you to go out. Hehe, although I would love to see two top five-ring magicians engage in a magical battle, the only thing that can be done is that it does not threaten myself and my castle."
Lucian looked sideways at Viscount Karenerdia with contempt, and secretly scolded: "Do you know my purpose? Now, I don't even know my purpose!"
The development of this matter has exceeded Lucian's grasp and expectations, allowing him to taste the bitter fruits of being bold and decisive and good at taking risks, making him understand that any means and style of behavior will never be only beneficial and not harmful!
The gaze was blocked by the hood, and Lucian replied gently: "Maybe I'm just here to take a look? Sometimes, fighting is not the best way to solve a problem."
"Hehe, Mr. Professor, your words are full of philosophy. However, fighting is the best means of dealing with the enemy's body and soul." Viscount Karenardia looked at Felipe on the half-height wooden platform, and the four representatives who were publicly pushed out by the apprentices and necromancers, the old necromancer Cecy, the female necromancer Tess with rough and pale skin and an ordinary gloomy appearance, the young necromancer Quentin with a friendly smile, and the terrifying necromancer Sidney with stitches on his face and hands. They were also the only four mid-level magicians in the original Wilfrid Territory, two with four rings and two with three rings.
The magicians who inherited the traditions of the ancient magic empire nearby habitually obeyed the strong, so the representatives selected to negotiate with Felipe were naturally the most powerful among them.
"Aren't you going up? Professor." Viscount Karen Erdia raised his glass to the half-height wooden platform with a smile.
「…… Go up and look for death?" Lucian continued to slander and enjoy himself, while packaging his behavior with seemingly profound words, "Sometimes, standing below and standing farther away, you can see more things."
Viscount Kareneldia smiled gracefully and clinked his glass with Lucian: "No wonder your nickname is Professor."
On the wooden platform, Cecil said with his accustomed stiff face: "Mr. Felipe, thank you for your invitation to give us, the magicians and apprentices who hide everywhere like cave rats, the opportunity to gather and exchange magical knowledge and items. This is enough for us to be called a feast of death, a rare opportunity to improve our strength. I don't know if you have anything else to discuss with us?"
Felipe stared at Lucian, seeing that he had no intention of coming up for the time being, so he turned to all the magicians and apprentices and said in a gloomy and loud voice: "You must have experienced a lot of hardships in Wilfrid Spirit, such as worrying about the church discovering your identity when sleeping, always anxious when meditating and practicing magic, and even being chased by adventurers, knights, and priests into the mountains and wilderness, living a life of seeing the sun rise in the morning but not knowing if you can witness it set."
In a country controlled by the church, every magician and apprentice had a similar experience to a greater or lesser extent, and after hearing Felipe's words, they couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Uh, Mr. Professor, do you think Mr. Felipe is right?" Karen Ardia was a little surprised by Lucian's gentle nod.
"Of course, this is a fact, there is no need to deny it." Lucian looks like a broad-minded person.
Felipe continued: "You don't dare to tell your relatives and friends about your identity, the joy of achievement is unshared, and the depression and pain of life's depression and the frustration and pain of failing magic experiments cannot be vented and shared. The position you deserve with your strength will never be obtained openly."
"This kind of life can be said to be sad, without the slightest color, do you still want to continue to live a similar life?"
As if Felipe had hit the sore spot, a magic apprentice couldn't help but whisper: "I don't want to, I don't want to do it at all!"
His reaction spread like a chain, and the answer of "I don't want to" spread throughout the hall.
Lucian didn't speak this time, just looked at Felipe quietly: "If this guy tells me the information I want to know in public, then I won't have to go in vain."
Tess, Quentin, Sidney and Cecil all heard Felipe's implied meaning, and after glancing at each other, Cecil said: "Mr. Felipe, if this kind of life is not helpless, I don't think anyone will be willing to choose. But can we get out of this kind of life? Can the Continental Magic Council help us?"
Felipe's pale face finally showed a softer smile: "Yes, I'm here to help everyone. In several countries where the Continental Magic Council is located, magicians can move openly and boldly meditate and learn magic in their homes and laboratories without worrying about being arrested by the church. Not only that, but those kingdoms also allowed official magicians to become city council members in their cities, equivalent to the status of lords. And if you have enough strength and prestige to become a member of the Royal Academy of Magic, it is equivalent to a member of the House of Lords, that is, a member of the House of Lords."
"How can this be?!" Except for Lucian, they all thought that the Continental Magic Council was a hidden organization, although there must be a lot of resources to protect magicians and apprentices, but in essence it was similar to a cult that could not see the light, but from Felipe's words, they seemed to have heard that the status of a magician was actually close to the earthly "heaven" of the ancient magic empire!
A noisy voice sounded, and the mage and apprentice talked excitedly.
At this time, Felipe stretched out his hand and made a downward motion to silence everyone: "More importantly, at the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council, as long as you have enough ability, you can fairly obtain different levels of meditation methods, various materials, magic and items. You can also learn the latest results of arcane and magic research only limited by your own knowledge rather than other external factors. Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to go to the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council?"
"Of course I do." Many magic apprentices were already quite excited to answer, while the formal mages calmed down from their excitement and reverie, muttering in their hearts: "Felipe what does he want us to do?"
In such a good place and such a great environment, Felipe is obviously not a good person with a high moral level that makes people feel ashamed of himself, so why should he oblige to send everyone to the headquarters of the Magic Council?
Of course, there must be requirements for giving, and the gentlemen who can become official magicians in the harsh living environment are not innocent and kind children, and they are a little wary while rejoicing.
Sisi, as the leading necromancer, coughed: "Mr. Felipe, I can answer on behalf of everyone, everyone wants to go to the Magic Council headquarters without a doubt, but I want you to tell everyone clearly what you need us to do?"
Felipe saw that someone had brought up this topic, and nodded with satisfaction: "The church blocked the road to the headquarters of the Magic Council, so it will cost a certain price to lead everyone through the blockade."
He paused appropriately and turned to something else: "Since the ancient magical empire, there have been fights and antagonisms between the eight factions due to their different strengths, and even in the magical council where several factions have increased, such fights seem to show no signs of stopping. Therefore, unity and unity are the best way to survive and obtain a better environment."
"I am in the 'Pale Hand', which was established by the great arcanist 'Revenant Master' His Excellency Vicente Miranda and the legendary magician 'Demigod Lich' His Excellency Kongus, who integrated many necromancer organizations. You are all necromancers, and joining the 'Pale Hand' is the most appropriate and appropriate choice."
Lucian was listening expectantly, but when he heard this, he suddenly thought slightly: "Why does it feel a bit like a pyramid scheme......"
The name of the Great Arcanist is unknown to the mages and apprentices here, but the legendary magician is still very capable of shocking them. The ordinary-looking Tess took a step forward: "If there really is a legendary magician, I would definitely be willing to join the 'Pale Hand'. But after joining, do we need to do anything?"
No matter how excited she was, Tess, who grew up in this harsh environment, did not forget other things.
Felipe nodded lightly in agreement with Tess, who was the first to stand up: "After joining the Pale Hand, I will give you a magic item of the corresponding level; There will be powerful and knowledgeable magic teachers to guide you, so that you can integrate from the ancient magic system to the current magic system as soon as possible; And we will not take the slightest share of the proceeds from your ventures and the publication of papers and new magic. The only requirement for you is that when the organization has needs, tasks, and arrangements, you cannot shirk it.
"It's getting more and more like a pyramid scheme......" Lucian, who was waiting for Felipe to reveal his contacts, thought boredly.
No matter how heartwarming and euphemistic Felipe is, the words "can't shirk" still make the necromancer and apprentice wake up.
"Sure enough, there has never been a good thing about pie falling from the sky."
Sisi asked cautiously: "What happens if I don't accept the task?"
"If you are a high-level magician, you will not accept the task, pay fines and choose alternative tasks depending on the situation, and if you are a high-level or lower, depending on the importance of the task itself, it can range from fines, physical punishments, mental punishments, etc. to death." Felipe did not hide it, and replied with a slightly cold gaze, "According to the latest arcane theory, energy is conserved, so if you want to get anything in the world, you have to pay a certain price, you can make your own choice."
"Of course, due to the limited number of people, we will only bring official mages to the headquarters of the Magic Council. For apprentices, as long as you sign a magic contract, I will leave some books and materials to help you grow to the rank of magician as soon as possible. From now on, there will be a special envoy to pick you up every year."
Originally, due to Felipe's explanation that "cannot be shirked", most of the apprentices were not disappointed after hearing that they would not have the opportunity to go to the headquarters of the Magic Council for the time being, but his later words made many people who were struggling in the advanced magic apprenticeship stage and could not break through see hope and became ready to move, after all, the task of "unshirkable" may not necessarily die!
After Felipe finished speaking, he did not look at the necromancer and the magic apprentices, but stared at Lucian, because this was a good opportunity for him to destroy the "Pale Hand" to recruit this "fresh blood"!
PS: The demigod lich Congus is an easter egg like Pale Justice, does anyone know?
