Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 251 Opening of the Conference

On June 15th, the 16th Magic Conference was officially held on Lucalia Island.

Different from the previous fifteen sessions, this conference is no longer limited to a bilateral social event between the academy and the Magic Town of Selia, but has been comprehensively upgraded to the highest event in the bordering magic world.

Including the three major dynasties and the two major magic holy places, a total of twenty-seven magic organizations from the mainland, sixteen magic organizations from the Storm Sea Islands, and six magic organizations from outside the Sea of ​​Mist participated in the conference. The rest came from all over the world without organizations and societies. There are more than a thousand folk mages who belong to it.

For a time, the population density within the academy and Menqian Town surpassed that of the Golden Capital of Rodel and reached its highest peak in decades.

Fortunately, the college was well prepared for this. It had already deployed a large number of heavy pontoons on the vast lake around Menqian Town, and used magic puppets to build large pavilions on the upper floors of the pontoons, equipped with all the living facilities to serve as temporary hotels. , and provide it to tourists at extremely low prices.

In this way, it not only avoids the dilemma of overcrowded hotels with no place for travelers to stay, but also earns a lot of reputation for the college as the organizer. People can be heard in the streets and alleys admiring the college's thoughtful preparations.

As for the current leaders of the academy, the two masters Azler and Lusett, who are also the nominal sponsors of the conference, their reputation has also risen rapidly, even beyond the scope of the mage world, and has spread as far as mercenaries and merchants. between.

"Did you hear that at the first round of results exchange meeting this morning, a wild mage who became a researcher of the academy just a few days ago was recognized by two masters at the same time, and was awarded the title of Honorary Professor of the Kaleros Classroom on the spot. , as long as you continue to make breakthroughs in the field of theoretical research within three years, you can be directly transferred to a formal rank!"

In a bustling tavern in Menqian Town, a young magic apprentice commented enthusiastically, as if the rumored protagonist was himself.

"Impossible. I heard that in the past two years, the college has awarded many young scholars the rank of professor, which has caused dissatisfaction among many old-school scholars. Other magic societies also have many doubts about this move. Just a wild mage, If becoming a researcher at the academy is already considered an exceptional admission, how can you still be awarded the title of honorary professor?" Another apprentice frowned and sang the opposite tune.

Seeing that the others didn't believe it, he immediately raised his eyebrows, patted his chest and assured, "Do you think I'm talking nonsense? My master is a core member of the Ningmu Gefu Morning Star Society, and his senior brother was invited to attend the conference this time. It is precisely to issue an inquiry to the college and correct this unhealthy trend!"

"Yo yo yo, even your master is not qualified to participate in the meeting. No wonder you, the apprentice, are forced to stay in the tavern and brag with little people like us!"

A majestic mercenary holding an oak beer mug walked by. He sneered and sneered. Then he drank the glass in one gulp and burped: "You just can't see others doing better than you - what you say The name of the 'Wild Mage' is Tops, and he is a famous scholar in our city of Moren. A few scraps from his hands are enough for your Morning Star Society to study for ten or eight years. It is the turn of such a person to get someone like you. Are you making comments here?"

The apprentice blushed at the ridicule and immediately slammed the table and cursed angrily: "Bah, you are a lowly mercenary who only knows how to wield a sword. How can you be qualified to discuss the development of our mage world!"

"That's right, a shabby mercenary doesn't want to flatter himself based on the reputation of Professor Tops, but he doesn't know how to look in the mirror and see what kind of virtue he is -"

"Yes!"

"." It is obvious that when the internal conflicts between mages turned into conflicts between two different groups, mages and mercenaries, the magic apprentices who had previously been ridiculing and excluding each other immediately united and began to unite. foreign.

This does not mean that they really agree with each other, but under external pressure, only in this way can the "class barrier" between mages and mercenaries be firmly defended, and their dignity as noble mages cannot be offended.

What's more, this is the holy land of mages and the town in front of Rhea Lucalia's academy. At first glance, the other party is just a little-known rural mercenary from Morn City, and he is not Kaidan's group of knife-headed lickers specializing in killing. A lunatic who makes a living, if he doesn't teach the other party an impressive lesson now, how long will it take?

Seeing a group of mage apprentices huddled together to put pressure on him, the half-drunk mercenary suddenly felt a surge of blood rushing to his head. He subconsciously took off the ax hanging behind his armor and used his other hand to force the apprentice closest to him. Pushed away.

The apprentice who was pushed happened to be the disciple of the "Core Member of the Morning Star Society" and the one who first taunted Tops. Faced with a push in the chest by the mercenary who was nearly two heads taller than him, the apprentice immediately moved towards him with his chair. Afterwards, he tipped over and went out. The kicked over cups and plates rolled several times in the air, and the food and drinks were thrown on his face.

"you--"

The apprentice who climbed up in embarrassment, his eyes covered with bloodshot eyes, grabbed the staff without thinking, recited a spell and shot out the azure stone!

A bright blue magic light flashed past, and a splash of blood splashed on the mercenary's shoulder. He let out a low roar of pain, covered his wound and staggered back two steps.

A piece of blue gravel condensed by magic power penetrated his armored shoulder guard and was embedded in the melted hole. Small pieces of burnt flesh could still be seen on the edge.

At this time, all the other mercenaries in the tavern could not sit still. They pulled out their weapons and stood on the opposite side of the apprentices with curses. The apprentices each took out their staffs and pushed forward without giving in. The heads of the staffs were inlaid with The pyroxene all lit up with a twinkling glow.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the merchant had already escaped. The tavern owner and two waiters, who were pale with fright, did not know what to do for a moment. This fight was no different from the common street fights in taverns. Even fools knew that. It could turn into an extremely serious bloody conflict at any time.

Now it happens to be a sensitive period for the Magic Conference. Not to mention whether people will die or not, these people just left a few disabled people. Once the academy investigates them, his tavern will not be able to open in front of the door!

"Everyone -" At this moment, a young and gentle voice suddenly came from outside the door, blowing away the ferocity and irritability of people's hearts like the spring breeze.

"I am a regular visitor to this tavern. I wonder if you can give me some face and make peace with me without destroying the inclusive and harmonious atmosphere of this event."

Everyone looked back and saw a man wearing the armor of Master Haimo and exuding a powerful aura walking towards them. However, in sharp contrast to the gentle and warm smile on his face, he was holding a staff in his left hand. The blood-stained wand was simply holding two burlap bags in his right hand.

Judging from the dark red and black stains on the surface of the bag and the sticky blood dripping on the ground from time to time, it turned out to be two human heads!

"I'm very sorry. I just captured two important criminals wanted by the dynasty a few streets away. I didn't have time to deal with it and soiled the floor of your store." He looked at the boss, then looked around at the stunned people who had been patrolling for a week, and said with a hearty smile, " I also hope that you won’t let me ruin your enjoyment of dining.”

The next second, the two groups of people who had been at war with each other just now, as if they would not stop until they cut off each other's heads, immediately dispersed after seeing the real head.
