Chapter 229 Night of a Thousand Laws Medium
"Huh?" Lailon noticed that the bald monk stopped, and when he turned around, the monk quickly walked along the side of the marble corridor and disappeared behind the golden curtain.
"What a weirdo."
Even though the commercial road leading to the roof of the world has people from Cathay every year, the Far East is still a mystery. Apart from being full of curiosity, imperial scholars have little contact with the culture of Cathay people and their belief in the "Dragon Emperor". Chance.
Since he can enter Guangming Academy, it proves that the monks are not a threat. Anyway, the emperor has other arrangements, but Laeren has to pay more attention to the abilities of these unknown people. At critical moments, it is very important not to guarantee their combat effectiveness, provided that they Willing to shoot.
During the greeting of the guide mage, Lelun didn't think about it for a while. After the door was completely opened, the crowd rushed in and quickly entered the interior of the pyramid.
Wherever you look, there are candles, crystals, braziers and other decorations that can create light. The walls of Baiyan are even covered with mirrors. The magic thing is that there is no burning smoke inside. In addition, although there are no ventilation holes, the inside of the pyramid is I don't feel chest tightness or hotness at all, but it is extremely dry and the temperature is pleasant.
Master Guangming's soft voice and faint singing sound entered his ears together.
"Dear distinguished guests, all comers, please follow me closely. There are many restricted areas and rooms sealed by magic in the pyramid. In the past nights of thousands of magics, there will always be careless and curious people who stray into the magic circle and get trapped. So be careful, I will bring Everyone head to the hall for tonight's duel, please hurry up, the accompanying mage on the way will also give a brief introduction to this academy, here, light is everything!"
The warning from the guide mage had an effect. As soon as the voice fell, a few guys in the crowd who were about to reach out to touch the rock wall felt as if they had been stung by a poisonous snake, and immediately retreated from the team. to the next "case".
All of this was seen by Laeren. The guiding mage was obviously specially trained. He had a gentle tone and a gentle tone, but he could wake up like a bell.
Three rings of light magic, harmonious harmony.
Guided mages can be said to be handy in the operation of Hai Xi's wind. Limited by talent, when human mages study a single dharma system, their appearance will more or less change from ordinary people. In addition to the white, the surface of the body will also shine with a faint golden light, and the unusual changes will make them more temperamental and holy at the same time.
Therefore, Guangming College has the best reputation among the people of the lower empire, and its number has always been the largest among the eight major colleges, and it has the closest relationship with religion, because the Night of Thousand Laws is held here, and the Justice Church has also sent garrison efforts. En's great sutra reciter, Esme III, can be called very face-saving.
So in terms of appearance and demeanor, the mages of Guangming Academy can be regarded as the best, and the one leading the way in front of him must have been carefully selected and impeccable.
"Follow me--"
Accompanied by his introduction, everyone at the scene soon had some preliminary understanding of the mysterious magic academy, and many people had a kind of unusual enthusiasm. The night of thousands of magics sold tickets to a few people, and only 300 gold coins for the inferior seat The price for one person is not unreasonably high. After the explanation, not to mention how in-depth the understanding is, at least the businessman who reluctantly bought the ticket can brag about it with those who didn't come.
This majestic building, also known as the "Tower of Absolute Dust", is divided into six floors, with the area decreasing layer by layer. The top floor even houses two Chaos God's Choice weapons from Emperor Sigma's era, as well as the "Monster Dragon" "Mascar's dragon head.
During the half-hour march, passing through dozens of magic doors, the intricate internal structure is enough for ordinary people to spend their entire lives discovering the secrets, and everyone also learned some characteristics. There are not only several libraries with more than 400,000 volumes of books, but also the arcane hall where the archmages of the academy study the mysteries of magic.
When the guide mage knocked on the last giant obsidian door, it was also the destination where everyone passed through the brightly lit corridors and stairs and finally arrived.
A giant dueling arena, Wolan Hall.
Lai Lun stood on the edge of the railing and looked at the semicircular sunken arena in the center, which was large enough to accommodate thousands of people standing. The material was the same as the outer wall, made of pure white marble, spotless.
Looking up, the duel arena is surrounded by dozens of rows of seats built against the wall. Looking around, after a rough judgment, it can accommodate about 3,000 people. Except for the valuable seats reserved on one side, the rest of the seats can be said to be full. In Ting Ruo City, many enthusiastic and excited audiences are waiting for the opening of the Night of Thousand Laws.
Because this is the middle level of the pyramid, the dome of the entire space is a slanted prism shape. The only light source is the pure crystal hanging from the dome. Under the urging of several light mages, it reflects the sun-like light.
The number of seats decreases layer by layer, but the lower the floor, the closer to the duel arena, and the better the view.
In fairness, the hall of the Night of Thousand Laws is undoubtedly well-designed, a concrete display of the empire's national power, and the existence of the Wolan Hall is essentially a miracle.
Surrounding the center of the hall, sixteen obsidian pillars were erected around the arena. Four people surrounded the thick and thin tall pillars, and each stood an imperial archmage from the Altdorf Battle Mage Secret Society.
In order to make the process of Thousand Magic Night go smoothly, they used arcane conductors to attract a large amount of magical winds to fill the entire hall. With a strong magical atmosphere, even ordinary people who cannot control the eight winds can feel the ripples in the surrounding space. .
At the bottom of the arena, there will be gorgeous magic blooming. Many newcomers are quickly attracted by another magical thing above their heads, and frequently express their admiration.
Under the mobilization of the wind of magic, the huge crystal that should have been suspended on the dome no longer existed, and was replaced by the sky that had already covered the night, and the light of the stars in the open air shone into the entire hall.
One big and one small above the head, the two moons of the old world are clearly visible tonight, the bright moon Manasbury is covered by the dark moon Molesbury, leaving only a bright moon blade, the dark green completely illuminates the night , The endless green light exudes a breathtaking light.
Especially at the Academy of Magic, it seems to be a little closer to the dome. The natural wonders are uniquely beautiful, weird but fascinating.
Although the magic of the light department is not known for its lethality, Mage Haixi has more auxiliary tasks in the army, removing corruption and applying blessings, but the academy has not relaxed the training for actual combat.
The huge space can accommodate dozens of mages to cast magic at the same time.
As early as when the high elf supreme mage Teclis built the pyramid, the combat training of human mages has always been the top priority, as can be seen from the emphasis on the duel arena.
The purpose of the establishment of the Eight Magic Academies is not only to curb chaos, but also to train battle mages who can go to the battlefield and kill the enemies of order proficiently.
Even the Emerald Academy, which advocates nature and peace the most, will not forget to train the life mage apprentices in actual combat skills. They invite the inner ring knight commanders of the major knight orders to teach them and increase their combat experience. Only the mage can play its due role.
The original intention of the Night of Thousand Laws also includes this meaning.
Public magic duels, one is to provide an occasion to release the contradictions between mages, and avoid private **** conflicts to the greatest extent, and the other is to give mages the most realistic fighting environment under the premise of ensuring safety to the greatest extent, and get in touch with different legal systems , an opportunity for different fighting styles.
Only after truly experiencing the test of blood and life and death, can the mage shoulder the heavy responsibility of the empire and display his strength in the face of different races and unimaginable enemies.
"Leren, the viewing seats for me and the Elector are there." Von Tugenheim beside him pointed in the direction of the entrance, and the wolf's head coat of arms symbolizing Middenheim was erected on the VIP seat.
The mission of the light mage leading the way ends here. As the opening time approaches, there will be more and more audiences in the next zone, and their status will become more and more distinguished, so he immediately turned and left, ready to welcome new guests.
The crowd also scattered in all directions. Not long after they showed up, several mage apprentices stepped forward and guided everyone to their seats.
While the VIP seat at the front where the White Wolf Elector is, His Majesty the Emperor and other important figures will all sit here.
Lyron noticed that there were many low-level mages and apprentices wearing robes of different colors, and they were shuttling through the crowd. They were all serving tonight.
In addition, the area around the ring and the magic gates leading to the hall are guarded by heavily armored Rick leaders. Although there are not many people, it can be seen that everyone is an elite.
The main reason is that there are too many important people present tonight. Even if Guangming Academy is reluctant, the head of the academy has to agree to a small number of troops entering the field to take over the guard work to prevent accidents from happening.
These are exactly what Laeren cares about. Whether it is the starry night sky above his head or the spacious Wolan Hall, after taking a seat and scanning around, the distribution of soldiers and mages around falls into his mind.
Sure enough, Karl Franz more or less chose to believe his warning. No matter what the purpose was, tonight's large-scale event was a little more tense.
The emperor and the deans of the eight colleges have not yet appeared.
The big shot at the finale, this is also expected, Laeren stopped looking around, and focused on following the mage apprentice who came to lead the way.
Accompanied by the White Wolf Elector, his invitation card is also a VIP seat, but the position is different.
"Adrian, let's go."
"yes."
The attention of the knight of the Gentle family was attracted by the bright light, and the constant singing echoed in the hall, which made him feel peaceful.
The invitation seat is on the fourth floor of the VIP seat. Although there is a big distance from the position of the elector and others, but under the guidance of the whole way, Lelun also noticed the envious eyes of many people. The further you go, the higher your status is. , leading the Master Apprentice more respectful.
Just as the young baron was walking, an enviable but familiar female voice suddenly sounded.
"This knight as strong as a griffin must be the famous Baron Laeren?"
Luxurious black evening dress, hair tied into a standard Britannia court knot, a lady like a night rose, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and then stood up, using a painting fan made of black swan feathers in her hand Covering half of her face, she said softly, "I'm so lucky to be able to sit next to you and praise Miss Midnight."
Lenia vampire, Queen Neferata's confidant, Genevieve.
Lairun narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and a ray of light disappeared in a flash, silently sizing up the unexpected guest in front of him.
The last unfriendly meeting and negotiation at the Anselmo Theater is deeply memorable. Her makeup is slightly different, and the subtle changes in the light blue pupils and eyebrows make Genevieve look like a different person.
Vampires use the usual means of mixing with human society—disguise.
After taking his seat, the young baron glanced calmly at the guards behind Geneviève. Three or four of them were dressed in black clothes, and their skin looked fair and bloodless against the moonlight.
There is no need to guess their identities, anyway, they are all midnight dignitaries, blood-sucking dead.
One of the middle-aged guards met Lairen's gaze, and the disguised pupils couldn't hide the crimson and greedy smile in his eyes, and his slender fangs faintly protruded.
"I'm beginning to admire your courage, Geneviève. You dare to come to an occasion where the wind is so full. Aren't you afraid of being purified into a skeleton?" Leon leaned on the seat, without deliberately lowering her voice, attracting The eyes of several people around.
Compared to the first three layers, which are stronger than the indestructible pyramid in front of you, the difference between the fourth layer and the fifth layer is not obvious.
The first three floors here represent three almost insurmountable gaps, which are the goals that countless generations of nobles, even more than a dozen generations, have fought for.
"What are you talking about, Baron Lailon, skeletons or something, it's too scary~" As people took their seats one after another, Lamia the vampire smiled and pinched Lailan's arm lightly, her clear laughter fell on Lailan clearly. In Lun's ear: "Tonight, I prefer you to call me Ms. Lynette."
Leron nodded, and said very sincerely: "Okay, Genevieve."
"Hehe~" The vampire Lamia kept smiling, and said charmingly, "Your Majesty Lailan is really clueless~."
Without the slightest pretentiousness, the crisp charm in the bones attracted more people's attention. The breaths of several middle-aged imperial nobles couldn't help but become thicker. Powerful and top-notch women are too rare, and the night of thousands of magics just provides Give them a great occasion.
"Damn idiot, hurry up and give me your seat!"
"Why didn't I, Krosh, meet such a superb woman earlier?"
If they knew that this blood-soaking woman was a vampire, they would probably lose all hope and avoid it.
During the conversation, the Griffon Knights and Rick Marshal Kurt, the great recitation Esme III of the Church of Sigma, other human kingdoms, such as the Duke of Boldrow, the Golden Knights of the Kingdom of Kislev Family Bernardo Sabachdorf, with envoys from the high elves and the mountain dwarves, appeared three tiers before the VIP table.
In addition, the deans of the eight colleges, the dean of the Sky Academy "Sky Comet" Raphael Zhulevno, the dean of the Bright Academy "White Robe Master" Aurelik, and the dean of the Flame Academy Senus Gehrman , Dean of Amethyst Academy Elsbeth von Drakken, and Dean of Golden Academy Barshazer Geert led the mages of their respective colleges to enter through the eight portals at the bottom of the Woland Hall, causing the hall to Intense commotion.
For a moment, the head of Amethyst Academy, Elsbeth von Drakken, glanced at the VIP seats. The legendary mage who controls the wind of death is extremely sensitive to the existence of undead creatures, but soon, she retracted it. look.
"Hoo hoo..." Genevieve, who was sitting on a comfortable armchair, trembled slightly, holding a broken silver ornament in her palm, and there was a gloomy look in her eyes, "I underestimated her."
