Great Elf Sage

Just as Nolan had planned, the ambushers were wary of the sudden appearance of space magic, and were temporarily undecided whether to take action. .

The confrontation on the dark side temporarily fell into a stalemate, which allowed the 'truth assessment' on the bright side to proceed smoothly.

Among the various specific contents of 'Truth Assessment', there are those in the field of spell construction, in the field of magic spells and runes, in the field of magic materials, in the field of alchemy and magic circles, and in addition there are actual operations or mutual confrontation. Something like that...

These specific contents cover all aspects of Nolan's magic system, and are a comprehensive test of the talent, hard work, and character of the participants. It is a systematic screening of magic and science that can truly test the hidden talents of the magician. .

Of course, behind this perfect magician testing system, it all relies on Nolan's terrifying real-time computing power and targeted subjective arrangements. Therefore, whether it is hosted by another magician or completely preset with parameters, Large magic arrays completely replace calculations, and neither of them can handle this huge amount of calculations alone.

"When the experiment of combining original sin and virtue is completed, and the perfect method of condensing the 'soul essence' is found, we can almost start trying artificial souls. By then, we will have an array spirit or tower spirit, and the magician will not need anything. I did everything myself..."

Nolan's 'Gandalf' clone maintained the wise posture of the Sage's Seat, while at the same time taking out part of the idle thinking and thinking wildly while monitoring the 'truth assessment'.

"Although the classic forms of magician's lairs such as mage towers, mage houses, and moving castles have already appeared, due to the fact that the current magic system does not have a complete 'enchantment' module, this kind of magic can only function without the person who arranges the array. The small magician camp is not popular with most magicians who are not very good at setting up magic circles. They prefer to carry almost all their belongings with them. This seems to them to be convenient and safe... but in fact It’s also easier to deliver express delivery to others…”

Small and medium-sized magic arrays such as mage towers presided over by magicians can indeed be called magic fortresses, but once the magicians are left as the core calculation unit, such small magic arrays are simply not enough to deal with emergencies. Ability.

This has led to the fact that most magicians like to move around before the conflict between extraordinary beings has fully erupted, and therefore do not have much interest in bulky turtle shells such as wizard towers and moving castles.

"...With the advancement of civilization, the conditions for the cohesion of the priesthood have gradually matured. In a few years, the material world will have a large number of high-level extraordinary creatures emerging due to the gradual return of the ancient true spirits. By then, even It is impossible for a magician who is blessed by nature to go out for a walk as carelessly as he is now... The improvement of the spirit possession system must be carried out at the same time as the plan to improve the 'soul source'!"

Nolan silently added a new entry to the task log in his consciousness, which was composed of some simple magic spells, juxtaposed with some previous key tasks.

……

In a certain competition venue of the 'Truth Assessment', Niels, a member of the Second Special Operations Team of the Eastern United Mage Legion, who infiltrated the magic association and was responsible for inquiring about intelligence and finding information about the first team, faced an unexpected encounter. A special 'reunion' that is outside the realm of possibility but seems to be within reason.

"Are you, are you really Brother Carlo? Why!"

The magician whom Nils had become Carlo stood on the other side of the playing field with an expressionless face, seemingly indifferent to Zhan's questioning.

In fact, he was sighing silently in his heart. This moment will always come. Since he doesn't know what to say, let's rely on magic to speak!

He raised his right hand, and circles of magic spells were quickly built layer by layer from the outside to the inside.

Carlo said expressionlessly

"Nils, if you have anything to say, please wait until the fight is over!"

Say it, the four-ring magic spell on Carlo's right hand was released instantly, and a circle of light cyan air flow surrounded a radius of two meters around his body.

This is a four-ring protection magic with wind attributes.

Although he was merciless on the surface, Carlo, who took advantage of his opponent's distraction and seized the opportunity, obviously did not want to take advantage of this, so he only temporarily constructed a protective magic.

Seeing that Carlo on the opposite side was already in combat mode, Nils also came to his senses and couldn't think anymore. As a professional soldier, he quickly figured out the order in this situation.

Carlo's attitude and position are still unclear. If he has really rebelled, Niels' situation will become very dangerous.

But at this time, Carlo seemed to have no intention of revealing Niels' identity, so catering to the opponent's fighting requirements and taking the opportunity to question him while delaying time was the best choice under the current situation.

Nils came back to his senses without saying a word. He took out several tubes of spell-casting media from his homemade non-standard mage robe, and while walking sideways to avoid the opponent's possible lock, he started to cast spells quickly. chant.

Nils, who is responsible for analyzing magic runes in the team, is a 'singing magician' who focuses on spells and runes.

Before the first team lost contact, Carlo was a three-ring magician. Like most of the magicians in the magic group who were not responsible for rune analysis, they were simple and mechanical and only knew a few types of magic in a certain series. They had no professional skills. Expertise in a certain field.

But judging from Carlo's ability to temporarily construct a fourth-level magic spell just now, Niels judged that he was at least a fourth- to fifth-level magician now!

"What happened to Brother Carlo during the year when we lost contact? And the rest of the first team..."

Nils cast a four-ring earth attribute field magic and was about to chant and cast the spell in a step-by-step manner, analyzing the information in his mind.

But unfortunately, before he could sort out anything, Carlo, who discovered the flaw, instantly triggered a spell slot magic on the basic spell in the sea of ​​consciousness.

It is also a four-ring field magic with earth attributes, but through targeted micro-management such as adjusting the magic power fluctuations, the magic cast by Carlo and Nils' magic produced a short-term magic synchronization effect.

This brief opportunity was deliberately taken advantage of by Carlo, who instantly offset Nils' magic effect through magic synchronization, causing the disturbed magic to become entangled with Niels' invisible mental power and quickly bite back towards Niels. .

"What kind of magic is this?!"

As a pure soldier trained by the Eastern Union using a castrated magic system, Nils was completely ignorant of the special effects produced by these basic theories of magic.

However, as a soldier of the elite mage regiment, Nils quickly found an indirect solution.

I saw that he triggered a two-ring earth attribute spell slot magic in the sea of ​​consciousness, and cast it quickly to one side. The chaotic magic flow followed the same source of spiritual power and also moved in that direction - the chanting magician also has a spell slot, However, limited by their talents, the cost-effectiveness of their cross-level spellcasting through incantation chanting is much greater than that of specializing in spell slots to cast spells.

Carlo, who moved himself to a position that Niels couldn't lock onto for the moment, couldn't help showing a surprised expression when he saw Niels' performance.

Carlo, who also came out of the military mage corps, knew very well how far the Eastern United Union had emasculated the extraordinary profession of magicians. Most people were only allowed to obtain the magic spell information corresponding to their military rank and position. He only knows a few fragmentary magics and can only be called a soldier, not a magician who seeks the truth.

And Nils' improvisation just now actually involved some superficial basic theories of magic!

"...You have such a talent, but are you willing to be the lackey of those powerful people?"

Carlo used to be a member of the first team responsible for contact and communication. At this time, he could use the internal communication magic of the Eastern United Mage Group without any pressure.

Although the internal communication magic of the mage group has been updated several times, Nils, who is still familiar with the former 'communication channel', can still communicate with Carlo through this expired 'channel'.

"We have sworn to dedicate everything we have to the Federation and take the glory and freedom of eastern humanity as our lifelong mission. You who have betrayed the Federation, are you qualified to say that to me?"

"...I admit that we betrayed our oath, but we have never betrayed our former comrades... As for the reason for the betrayal, it is the question I just asked you to avoid. Nils has such talent and contact with the world. Given the real opportunity, are you willing to be the lackey of those powerful people?"

The two continued a medium-intensity magical confrontation while arguing with communication magic.

To an outsider, it looked like they had fallen into a stalemate of testing each other after a fruitless attack just now.

Niels was silent for a while before he began to refute Carlo's words.

"...I am fighting for the freedom and rights of the people of the Commonwealth..."

"You hesitated, Nils. It seems that you also know very well that the current Eastern Alliance is no longer the great alliance that once led humans to overthrow the corrupt rule of the Blue Mountain Elves... It has also become corrupt!"

"No, no! We still have Mr. Philip..."

"What can Sir Philip do on his own? Which of the decisions made by the coalition in recent years is not a damn bill that those guys who have tasted power have to talk for days to finalize, and in the end only conform to their rights and interests! "

"Your Excellency Philip is the chief of the Senate! He has been opposing these decisions that are detrimental to the interests of the people..."

"Hmph! In fact, Lord Philip alone can't extinguish their ambitions at all, and can't even shake this new alliance of powerful people... The brave man who once defeated the evil dragon finally became the new evil dragon!"

Nils was silent.

……

Similar conversations were played out at another larger aerial competition venue.

In the collision of mid-to-high-level magic of various attributes, Gauguin, the captain of the first team wearing a blue mage robe, and Zhan En, the captain of the second team who had infiltrated this time, were suspended in mid-air on both sides of the playing field, facing each other.

They are also talking using communication magic of a specific frequency.

"...Perhaps most of the leaders who once led the Eastern Human Alliance have fallen, but the liberal faction headed by Mr. Philip has been fighting. Maybe we can't reverse this situation in a short time, but including us, The lower-level people who want to change will one day reach the middle and upper levels of the federation, and then we will naturally be able to change the Eastern Union..."

Zhan, the captain of the second team, calmly stated his point of view to Gauguin.

Both of them are high-level magicians. Regardless of whether the system they learned has been castrated or not, magicians who have reached high-level levels can already feel the reality of the world to a certain extent, so they are more rational and calm than other extraordinary systems. Even when they get into fights, they all look polite.

Gauguin scoffed at Jenn's point of view and said

"Let's not talk about whether Sir Philip can reverse the decadent alliance without internal war after those powerful people have become vested interests. Above the top of the alliance, there is a theocratic rule that overrides the entire Senate of the Eastern United!"

Jenn was speechless.

Gauguin continued

"Had it not been for the absolute rule of the God of War Ateus, who did not allow internal turmoil in the Eastern Union, Lord Philip would have launched a civil war to purge those powerful people who have been corrupted by power. Those team members do not know, I think they have reached a high level You know this!"

Zhan En sighed and finally said

"Sigh... But so what, no matter what, the Eastern United is my hometown. I can't understand the reason why you made the choice to betray!"

"Betrayal? I don't think we are betraying. We have neither exposed our identities nor betrayed the intelligence of the Eastern Union, nor have we done anything hostile to the Eastern Union... We just took off the shackles imposed on us and indulged ourselves. It’s just those who want to be transcendent and seek the truth!”

Without waiting for Zhan En to speak, Gauguin continued in a faint tone.

"...What's more, Ateus's absolute rule is based on his absolute power. If you have reached this point in magic, you should also have a vague idea that the so-called god is just a kind of god. A powerful transcendent, just a transcendent rank! To truly change the Eastern Union, it depends not on the extravagant hope of internal reform, which is like a dream under the current situation, but on the powerful force that frees the Union from the control of Ateus!"

Having said that, Gauguin triggered a nine-ring magic spell that he had just successfully engraved and solidified not long ago. The roaring magic power, driven by mental power and magic spells, quickly fell into the material world and released a horror that reached the limit of the rules of the material world. magic.

All the protection, field and attack magic were instantly torn apart, and the distracted Zhan was defeated without any suspense.

In the sky above the magic association, on the grand and complex circular magic spell 'Throne of Truth', a certain free rune combination in the fourth sequence quickly deconstructed after a burst of flashes and extended into many more complex spell structures and runes. The array quickly reconstituted a third sequence seat with independent rune descriptions.

This was the first seat promotion involving the third sequence since the start of the 'Truth Assessment', and everyone's attention was attracted.

All the magicians in the deep magic associations, including some magicians in the magic academy who were paying attention to the changes in the replica model of the 'Throne of Truth', began to discuss it at this time.

"A genius was discovered by Your Excellency the Sage?!"

"I don't think so. The rune combination in this seat has a description about 'material limit'. It seems that it is a high-level magic city master, and it is very likely that he is the Nine Ring Master. He has obtained the sage's Recognized for obtaining a seat in the third sequence!”

"Oh, it's a pity that the high-level magician is already in blue robe. There is no real benefit in being promoted to the rank..."

"Idiot! The third rank is recognized by Your Excellency the Sage as a high-ranking position with legendary potential. The magicians who have reached this position are now either great magisters or legendary masters. This does not require any real benefits..."

……

After casually placing Gauguin in the third sequence and carving his emblem in the 'Throne of Truth', Nolan's 'Gandalf' clone turned his attention outside the realm magic circle.

The changes in the 'Throne of Truth' just now caused the ambushes in the outside world to panic again.

These guys are afraid that the magic association will come up with some tricks, and now they probably have little patience.

"...Although it is a little earlier than expected, and the 'Truth Assessment' may not be able to complete all the projects, this time we unexpectedly harvested important information within the Eastern United, and almost all the good seeds have been discovered, so These cute new magicians faced the sudden 'plot twist' in advance and it still didn't go beyond my plan..."

……

To be continued.
