Remember [] for a second,!
Spooky basement.
A group of mages in gray robes were busy.
The dim candlelight reflected their masterpiece - a huge magic circle.
The complicated and mysterious lines flashed bright red light, and ordinary people would be dizzy when they saw it.
There are two eyes with strange shapes in the center of the circle. Although they are only patterns on the ground, they are like living things.
The mages all seemed to be doing their best to avoid eye contact with the two eyes on the ground, as if something terrible would happen just by looking at it.
Among the group of gray-robed mages, only a white-haired old man wore a distinctive silver robe.
And if you know something about the Yeville Mage Council, you can know that there is only one Mage who likes to wear silver robes, and that is the Speaker of the Mage Council - Ernest.
Hearing footsteps coming from the stairs, Ernest immediately walked over quickly.
"Mr. Ho." After seeing the person, Ernest smiled and nodded.
There was even some flattery in this smile.
It is hard to imagine that Ernest, as the Speaker of the Mage Council, has such an attitude towards his former subordinates.
You must know that just two years ago, Ernest tried his best to crusade what Mr. Gu had done in Eagle Falling City, and also hated the [Eye of Judgment], a forbidden spell that could be called a sanctuary killer. It will improve the status of the mage, but it will bring disaster to Yeville.
But now, Ernest has finally succumbed to Mr.
The defense of the nobles of the Radiance Empire against mages made it difficult for Yeville to find a large number of apprentices with arcane talents. Without enough fresh blood to replenish, the decline of the mages council has become a foregone conclusion.
In desperation, Ernest had no choice but to seek cooperation with Mr.
As for the [Eye of Judgment], the evil forbidden spell that hurts the world and reason, if it can be used by oneself... but it is different.
Yes, it is not only Mr. Ho who will cast [Eye of Judgment] in Storm Fortress this time.
The target is not only the orc emperor!
If it was just to kill the orc emperor, there would be no need for so many sacrifices.
After all, although the Sanctuary Skull Crusher is indeed stronger than the Paladin, Mr. Ho is not the sixth-order mage that he used to be.
With his current body of a paladin, he can resist a large part of the forbidden curse backlash, so there is no need to sacrifice so many people at all.
These offerings were actually prepared for Ernest.
Therefore, the array on the ground will have two eyes.
And Ernest's target is Prince Leahy!
This is the real reason why Ernest couldn't refuse Mr.
You must know that [Eye of Judgment] actually has a follow-up linked forbidden spell that allows the caster to occupy the body of the recipient.
This is the body of a paladin!
It is the body of the sanctuary that the mages have longed for!
The mages have been imprisoned for thousands of years, and now there is finally a way to break the shackles, even if this method is so evil, but when it becomes an option for him, Ernest finds himself unable to resist such temptation.
Mr. Ho looked at Ernest who was sneering in front of him, nodded reservedly, and asked, "Is the magic circle ready?"
"It's been drawn, I'm doing the final checks to make sure nothing goes wrong!"
Mr. Ho's eyes swept across the basement with a satisfied smile on his face, but then he added:
"Oh, by the way, add another eye."
Ernest was stunned for a moment, then asked carefully:
"Mr. Ho, is there a third mage who wants to cast [Eye of Judgment] here?"
"Yes." Mr. Go nodded affirmatively, then turned around and walked back.
Ernest hurriedly followed up the steps, leaned over to Mr. Ho, and asked in a low voice:
"Mr. Ho, can the sacrifice of Storm Fortress support three [Eye of Judgment]?"
"Don't worry, it's enough. I have more experience in this than you, and it's not a big problem even if you take on more backlash now. Anyway, your body will be replaced soon."
After listening to Mr. Ho's explanation, Ernest was relieved a little, and then asked:
"So, who is this third mage...?"
Mr. Hoo glanced at Ernest beside him and spit out a name:
"Queen Midella."
"The queen is still a mage?" Ernest was obviously shocked by the news.
As the Speaker of the Mage Council, Ernest certainly knows that this Queen Midella has never been to Yeville. So, who taught her arcane knowledge?
And more importantly, who is Queen Midella's goal?
The answer to the latter question is actually quite easy to guess.
After all, there are only three paladins in the Radiance Empire, excluding Mr. Ho and Prince Leahy, only the Duke of St. Grian remains.
And even more coincidentally, the Duke of St. Grian is also a woman...
At this time, the two had come to the exit of the basement. Mr. Go stopped, looked back at Ernest who was about to ask, and made a silent gesture, saying:
"Okay, Ernest, don't ask any more questions. Prepare the magic circle well, and make sure to complete it within three days!"
"Yes." Ernest had to forcibly press down the doubts in his heart and watched Mr. Go out of the basement.
In fact, Ernest did not have much resistance to the addition of Queen Midella.
After all, in this way, their mages will take this opportunity to control the authority of the Radiance Empire, and their grasp will be even greater.
Still, Ernest is curious about how Queen Midra achieved such success in arcane magic.
You must know that those who can cast the forbidden spell [Eye of Judgment] must be a sixth-order mage.
Queen Midella is not very old, she is already a sixth-order mage.
In addition to the extraordinary talent, it must be inseparable from the guidance of a strong mentor.
And it must be carefully taught from a young age In this way, Mr. Ho is excluded.
After all, when Queen Midella was young, Mr. Ho was not very big, and his strength was not outstanding.
So, who will it be?
Ernest walked down the steps alone, and suddenly remembered a detail——
When Vera Saint Hilde came to Yeville, the Mage Council actually had a lot of controversy over whether to accept the daughter of the Duke of the North. In the end, the white-robed mage Kusius lobbied hard and volunteered to accept it. Vera was a disciple, so Vera successfully entered the Mage Tower.
Ernest originally thought that Kusius received the benefits of the Duke of the North, but now that he thinks about it, it may not be the case.
Kusius is the son of Kurd, the last president of the Council of Mages.
And this Kurdish mage tried to break into Huiyue Forest to find out the secret of the disappearance of the elves, but he never appeared again.
More importantly, this Kurdish mage is also Mr. Ho's mentor.
