Chapter 360 Anna’s prophecy, guest star invades the throne

Omifor seemed to be aware of it and turned his head to take a look.

"Silly what?"

He frowned and realized that things were not simple.

But Omifor's mind was not on Roland. What he cared about was that Anna was by Roland's side.

The two walked together, the man was talented and the woman was beautiful, they were a perfect match.

They look like a natural pair.

Immediately he saw Roland turning sideways and lowering his head, saying something in Anna's ear.

"Hahahaha, it looks a bit similar."

Anna was stunned for a moment, and her branches were trembling with laughter.

Omifor's face darkened, and his original serious expression became even more ugly.

……

"You two, please come this way. Your Excellencies will be here soon."

After a while, the staff led the two people in.

During the period, someone reminded: "It's still some time before the official start. Do you want to go to the lounge opposite to meet Archmage Omichidit and Lord Omifor first?"

They knew that Anna came from the Pidos Wizard Tower, but they didn't know the grudges between the two parties.

"No, we can just wait here."

Anna refused without hesitation.

The staff immediately said nothing more.

Roland sat down and discussed the details of the hearing with Anna.

Before this, they had discussed it many times and made various previews.

There is no problem with basic preparation.

I just don’t know what tricks Pidos’s gang will do in order to stop them.

Anna is very confident about this. She can sum it up in one sentence: "When soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it!"

Needless to say, this is another "Roland's famous saying".

……

"Everyone, welcome to this hearing. We will hold a hearing here on the application decision of Senior Mage and Alternate Member Anna to establish the occult profession in East Lena Mage Tower.

Please invite the applicant, Your Excellency Anna, and the co-applicant, Your Excellency Roland, to enter...

I hope that the two of you will jointly answer the questions raised by the committee based on the principles of honesty, fairness and exhaustiveness. Members can freely ask questions about the content of the application, but please be sure to discuss the matter and do not involve content beyond the topic..."

The time came to 9:30 in the morning, and Roland and others appeared at the venue on time and took their places according to the staff's instructions.

The host is already making his usual opening remarks.

Others also took their seats.

The hearing is one of the many links in the Arcane Committee's review project. To a large extent, it is a communication platform between applicants and committee members, achieving cross-professional and cross-field exchanges.

In the history of the Arcane Empire, many major projects and future-related decisions were made on such occasions.

For committee members who often apply for national funds or participate in major decision-making, such occasions can be said to be commonplace.

Roland had not been close to the center of national power before, but he had also attended the event.

For example, the previous agreement to open Reiner World, provide mage education in Reiner World, and support the demonic country.

At that hearing, the late Mr. Leon was questioned on behalf of the Cowlens family, which also involved the loss of the mage legion and the reduction of taxes for Reiner.

This time, Anna will be questioned and will be the main speaker.

But as a professional partner and the person in charge of Donglina Master Tower, he also has to participate in it.

After Roland sat down, the warm-up host stepped down and gave his seat to Omifor.

Omifor this time chaired the inquiry as an expert astrologer.

"Ms. Anna, you are applying to establish the occult major in East Lena Master Tower. To do this, Congress needs to approve educational funds worth more than 1 million gold coins, as well as a number of corresponding assistants, lecturers, and professors...

The Committee has several concerns here.

First, the major of mysticism has always been valued by the Master Towers under the Gnosis School. The corresponding departments and majors have already been established. Is it necessary to open it again?

Second, are the educational environment of Lena World and the arcane atmosphere of East Lena Fasta sufficient to support the development needs of the corresponding majors? How to ensure that national funds will not be wasted?

Third, are there any mages with lecturers or above in corresponding majors who are willing to go to the world of Lena? How to ensure the orderly inheritance of astrology and meet the export arcane standards...

......"

Omifor mentioned a few key points without any surprise.

This was not Anna's first time participating in a hearing. She had already prepared for possible difficulties, so she took her time.

About the combination of Formatist zodiac signs and the mysticism of Seris.

The followers under his command, and the inheritance of mysticism.

There are also standardized management of corresponding spells, professional course settings, etc.

She answered them all one by one.

At this time, Roland truly felt how difficult it was for ordinary mages to advance and make a career.

If you weren't special, you would most likely have experienced similar torture.

"A lot of resources and voice are held by the old schools and old arcanists. Even if the senior masters appreciate it, it will be difficult to devote all their efforts to cultivating the younger generations.

This is a structural contradiction. "

Roland didn't just focus on this hearing, he also thought about more.

If you don’t respect your elders, the accumulation of your predecessors will be meaningless.

The benefits of arcane achievements are quickly wiped out, and arcane masters will not have such a high status.

Everyone has to worry about their retirement and cannot do research and accumulation in peace and quiet.

And if the capital allocation is excessive and based on seniority, it will also lead to the problem of mediocrity being at the top, laymen leading the experts, second-tier leaders leading the first-tier, and the younger generation being stuck in the neck.

But in general, he still agrees with Anna's intention and prefers juniors and new arcane arts.

As the saying goes, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come...

The land of the arcane world is full of old and dilapidated buildings.

Without a vigorous demolition, how could a new building be built?

Now their position is among the core arcana of the younger generation, and it is natural to hold this view.

There is another key here, that is, ordinary new schools of thought are not so easy to develop, while Siris is developing rapidly...

This will inevitably form a platform effect and become the refuge and clinging target of these new schools of thought.

Anna's initiative was by no means without reason. It was the natural appeal that came after she and the entire Siris School reached a certain height.

Of course, it is inevitable to encounter hostility from established forces like Pidos Mage Tower.

……

While I was thinking, the hearing continued.

"Ms. Anna just said that there are many lecturers who are willing to follow to East Lena, right?"

At this moment, Omifor suddenly asked again about Anna's answer just now.

"Not bad." Anna mentioned a few names unhappily.

"But as far as I know, these intermediate mages are not willing to go. They are still hesitant and have no determination to jointly establish a new discipline."

Omifor said firmly. "Yes, Ms. Anna, I guess I haven't made up my mind yet."

"I'm very sorry, my previous decision may have been a little too reckless."

"I'm really sorry. Please give me more time to think about it."

After Omifor spoke, several mid-level mages stood up in the auditorium and said with a bit of shame.

Anna looked shocked, obviously not expecting that these people would suddenly choose to rebel.

"Doro, Miffel, Tiny, you..."

Those people didn't dare to look at her, but they also had no intention of changing their story.

"What's going on?" Roland frowned.

He knew that those people were all members of the school who had participated in the party and were known as Anna's followers.

Roughly equivalent to Pano, Buono et al.

"It must have been Omichidite who did it!" Anna glanced at the archmage sitting at the top with hatred. The other person's face was serious and expressionless.

"He may have offered a better position and treatment..."

"Then this will be difficult to handle."

Roland had a faint headache.

"I don't blame them for making such a choice, I just hate that my methods are not smart enough, and I didn't predict that they would rebel in battle!"

What Anna was worried about was obviously not the loss of three lecturer-level followers at once, but something else.

Sure enough, Omifor's questioning ensued.

"As a stargazer, you are good at prophecy and divination, but you can't even judge the will of your followers. How can you make the committee members trust your arcane magic?"

"Yeah, that makes sense."

The committee members who were watching started talking.

It’s not that they didn’t know that there was Master Pidos Tower secretly causing trouble behind this.

This kind of matter related to her own vital interests, Anna would not have been unaware of it if it had not been covered up by a more skilled astrologer.

"Hmph, the path of destiny is elusive and difficult to determine, and the human heart is even more treacherous and changeable. How can I control so much?

Seeing that the other party was pointing the finger at her own arcane skills, Anna, who was still a little flustered, calmed down instead.

She glanced arrogantly at the people who were discussing, but said in a surprising way: "It is true that there is a major event here that cannot be detected by ordinary astrology and the prediction spells of the Gnosis School. I used my latest arcane results to divine it. .

This kind of prophecy, which determines the major direction of a country and civilization, is where our horoscopes and the mysticism of Seris flow are really good at, and where they blend and intersect. "

"Ms. Anna, please don't be alarmist, let alone do anything that damages your reputation for this hearing."

Omicditus of Pedos finally spoke.

He glanced at Anna and started questioning.

Roland glanced at Anna and was a little unsure.

“Anna vaguely mentioned this matter to me.

But because the secret cannot be leaked, it was not revealed at the time.

Because if you say it, it will be sensed by mana and magic power, and it will resonate.

The subsequent impact created by this is no different than the storm formed by the flapping wings of a butterfly.

But is this Anna really reliable? Will she be alarmist or even deliberately falsify in order to pass this hearing? "

It’s no wonder that Roland thinks so, because if it is truly a prophecy that determines the major direction of the country and civilization, it will affect the fate of countless people.

This kind of thing, let alone the elephant in the room, is comparable to heaven and earth, day and night.

It’s not like other schools and sects don’t have clever prophets.

How could it not be detected?

"I'm not being alarmist. Maybe you think your arcane magic is very good and it's enough for Atrein, but what I want to say is that the development of prophecy has always been inferior to that of counterprophecy. Even the arcana that destroys prophecies.

After all, people just need to make some destructive actions to effectively prevent resonance, or even use the principle of prophecy to mislead.

The prediction I made was that a necromancer had insight into these secrets and carefully misled everyone's observation of his fate with the help of a special phylactery, thus leading him in the wrong direction at key points.

The destiny trajectories you observe are like carefully constructed star maps.

It can’t be said to be wrong, but it has been carefully modified!

In other words, when that man launches the undead natural disaster and attacks Atrein, you all still have to know nothing about what he did..."

"What!?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Roland was also a little surprised, suddenly having a sudden impulse.

"Necromancer, undead natural disaster? Could that person be..."

"That's right, that person is the genius of the magic school who was expelled by Atrein more than 10 years ago, the necromancer 'Lord of the Undead', Renn Hulengar, the code-named 'Mentor' in the 'quagmire project'" The person in charge of Trein!"

Anna seemed to have anticipated what he wanted to say and took the initiative to announce the answer.

"what?"

"The mentor in the Quagmire Project...is he?"

"That person...is back again?"

Everyone was stunned.

Antonia stood up from the seat of the supreme arbiter and said solemnly: "Ms. Anna, can you be responsible for the clues you provided?"

"of course."

Anna raised her eyebrows and looked at Antonia without timidity.

"I used the teachings of the Seris School to observe the 'guest star invading the throne of the emperor', and then deduced and corrected it to make it clear!

Such astrological predictions are enough to prove that Siris Mysticism has great potential! "

In astrology, the "guest star" refers to the stars that flicker and appear in the sky, while the "emperor's seat" refers to the second star of the Big Dipper, which the ancients regarded as a symbol of the emperor.

When a "guest star" invades the constellation representing the emperor, it is called a "guest star invading the emperor's constellation."

The ancients believed that this astronomical phenomenon represented that outsiders were trying to gain or infringe upon the throne, and that something unknown would happen to the emperor's family. (Note: Quote from online information)

Anna has a thorough understanding and combines the astrological principles of many schools and different civilizations to deduce divination, obviously focusing on "correction".

If someone uses the mysteries of astrology to cover up something and interfere with many factors, it is like releasing a smoke bomb.

However, smoke bombs can only be used for optical observation, direct observation methods such as naked eyes, telescopes, etc., and cannot be used for millimeter-wave radar.

This is cross-domain technology.

"Very good, we will investigate accordingly.

Whoever tolerates adultery or colludes with foreign enemies will be severely punished. "

Antonia, looking around, pointed out something.

"Now, the hearing is suspended and all members go to the conference room on the 20th floor for discussion.

Others are temporarily not allowed to leave without notice. "

Omifor was stunned.

Omichidit looked gloomy.
