Chapter 197 Where is Gretel Nordmark? !
The meeting of the legendary mages was in complete darkness.
How to gradually promote the new theory that subverts [phlogiston theory], arrange for people to write papers first, slowly spread the word, organize magicians to learn step by step, and try not to create a large number of headshot mages, this needs discussion;
How the legendary mages can shrink strategically to ensure that when one or two of them fall, someone can take over, so as not to shake the foundation of the headquarters, needs to be discussed;
How to release smoke bombs while giving up territory, how to prevent the Lord of Radiance from becoming suspicious, how to explain and coordinate with allies, this also needs to be discussed;
Even the eight major sects and various mage organizations must coordinate with each other. For example, if you, the Thunder Horn, have brought a legendary seed under your control and gained the greatest benefits, you don’t necessarily want us, Black Crow Swamp, to take the blame for you, right? !
By the way, we have to block the news, and block Grete’s paper, and even his name! Prevent output from the outside and prevent spread from the inside!
Fortunately, the legendary mages had experienced more than one life energy transition and were full of energy, so they were able to close their doors and hold meetings for a whole day and night. meditation? Sleep? Occasionally, if I don’t meditate, the sky won’t fall. It’s rare that I don’t sleep for a night, and I can’t automatically generate magic. There are also things like mana potions that hold up...
Besides, Mount Igor is the safest place in the kingdom. As long as Igor's Mystery Lock is opened normally, even if the Lord of Radiance attacks with all its strength, it will still be able to withstand the legendary mages until they are full of sleep.
This type of meeting is extremely efficient. At the end of the day and night, the legendary mages smashed two tables and tore off bundles of manuscript papers. There was a buzz in the conference room as if it had snowed twice, and all the issues had actually been finalized. Master Dikal went out in high spirits and called to his disciples:
"Carlisle, go and bring that little guy up. During this period, before the storm passes, let him stay in the Tower of Babel and read in peace."
Carlisle took the order and left. His magic airship was a piece of equipment he received from the Magic Council when he went to the battlefield. He did not own it. At this time, he took the magic train and slowly went down the mountain. Come to Bridge Magic Academy and ask the teaching assistant of the training class——
"Today is a day off! Gretel Nordmark...? Or, can I accompany you to the library or the student dormitory to look for him?"
The dormitory was empty. The library was full of students, but the teaching assistant went in and looked around, but saw no sign of Gretel. Fortunately, many students in the training class were reading inside, and the teaching assistant asked a few of them around, and actually found out the target's whereabouts:
"Gretel? Recently, he has been in the treatment center every afternoon..."
Master Carlisle: "..."
Why go to the treatment center every day? Are you planning to change your career to become a pastor? Isn’t the mage bad? Can’t the Magic Council support you? !
Fortunately, the treatment center is not far away, and in the fishy port area, this two-story building is eye-catching enough. Master Carlisle waved away the assistant, summoned a phantom pony, and turned over. The magic horse stepped forward with its hooves and broke through the wind. It didn't take long before it stopped at the entrance of the treatment center.
"Where is Gretel Nordmark?"
Master Carlisle didn't even jump off the horse, but waved away the phantom colt and landed directly on his feet. He rushed into the treatment center, looked around, and asked hurriedly. However, the treatment center was empty. Not only was there no sign of Gretel, not even half a priest could be found. When he looked again, he saw a "Closed Today" sign hanging high...
"Where are the people?!"
"Coming, coming!" The door to the inner room creaked, and a middle-aged man wearing a robe and holding a quill hurried over. There was no sign of a professional on the man, but there was a jingling sound in his pocket, and there was a sound of coins. He seemed to be an accountant. Seeing the four gold stars on Carlisle's chest badge, he trembled and hurriedly bent down deeply:
"Are you looking for Gretel? He's not here today!"
"Where are you going?!"
"Going to Oak Ridge—"
"When did you go?"
"Probably, we should have set off last night... The elders sent a message yesterday morning, saying that the physical examination has been arranged, so everyone can go there... There was a boat to pick up last night, and it should be here now. …”
Master Carlisle almost lost his temper. It was almost dark. Did he have to rush there immediately in the middle of the night? ! Oak Ridge, Oak Ridge is dozens of miles away from Nevis!
How about waiting two more days? The training class has two days off every eight days. Today and tomorrow will be off. The day after tomorrow, you can find the little guy in the academy early in the morning, or maybe tomorrow night. Master Carlisle thought for a while, then shook his head and dismissed the idea:
It's easy to wait for two days in the city, but what if the teacher asks? Oh, they went to Oak Ridge, I was too lazy to look for them, so I just waited at the college...
Thinking of the teacher's thunderous wrath, Carlisle, even though he was a level 14 great magician, still shuddered and decisively summoned the phantom pony. He got on his horse, picked up the reins, and the magic mount flew into the air.
——Phantom Pony, a third-level spell in the conjuration system, can be used by a fifth-level mage. With Master Carlisle's 14th level wizard level, this magical horse can step through swamps and quicksand without any hindrance, can walk on water, and can even fly.
From Nevis City to Oak Ridge, there is a big turn along the river. Of course, it is more convenient to fly directly there.
The red sun gradually sets in the west. Master Carlisle drove furiously against the cold wind and finally arrived at Oak Ridge before it got dark. He inquired all the way, rushed to Elder Wood's residence, raised his hand and cast a loudspeaker on himself:
"Wood! Is Gretel Nordmark where you are?"
This shout, even without amplification, was loud enough. However, it was quiet in the long room. No one answered, not even the slightest sound of footsteps or breathing. It took a long time before a priest apprentice came over from a very far distance in a hurry:
"Hello, Master! The elder is out for business today. May I ask if you have any instructions? I can convey them to you——"
"I'm not looking for him!—Where is Gretel Nordmark?"
"Ask him! He went to Augustus Castle with the elder. He said that he had made an appointment before to do a physical examination on the castle and promote a magical technique..."
Carlisle: "..."
No, luckily we came here to arrest someone today, otherwise he would have been abducted by the Cult of Nature...
He nodded casually, raised the phantom pony, and flew high again. Castle Augustus is extremely easy to find. Start from the city of Nevis to the northeast, fly along rivers, lakes, and canals, and arrive at the starting point of Loch Ness. Looking down from a high altitude, the castle is brightly lit, with people coming and going, and there is a constant flow.
Master Carlisle added two defensive magics to himself and swooped down. He hovered diagonally above the castle, raised the volume of his loudspeaker to the maximum, and shouted:
"Where is Gretel Nordmark?!"
The whole castle was shaken by his roar. In the small room next to the hall downstairs, Grete held glycerin in one hand and a gut glove in the other, looking up with confusion on his face.
Why are you shouting like this?
Aren't I just going out for a physical examination? We made an appointment more than a month ago, it’s not like we just ran away temporarily...
Even if the Magic Council doesn't give me an offer, I still have to support myself! What's wrong with being a doctor... I still have to collect information and publish a paper...
