Chapter 4: Imperial Sunset Round 6 See you

87_87643.

When Sayes woke up the next day, he felt that his head was about to crack, and Sayers, who was quite confident in his drinking, never dreamed that he had drunk to the point of being unconscious yesterday, and that red-robed mage was really powerful, wait, what kind of place is this......

It's a small room, but it's all furnished, and although it's not luxurious, it's very neat and bright, and it's definitely not a room that a low-level mage can stay in.

Sayes got up and opened the curtains, a few rays of morning light shot in through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, it was just dawn, and it seemed that he was still in time to go back to the station to report to his superior, Sayes looked back at Hunter, who was still snoring on the bed, it seemed that this guy could not know more about yesterday than he did.

The door suddenly rang at this time, Sayes went to open the door, was stunned for a moment and immediately stood up straight, and the pale silver pattern embroidered on the cuffs of a white-robed mage outside the door showed that this was an intermediate mage serving in the command center.

"Wake up your companions, get dressed and Commander Morrill invites you to breakfast!" the white-robed mage finished his order with a blank face, and left without looking back.

Commander Morriel...... I think I've heard of it...... But Sayers's mind was hovering with two more thunderous words, breakfast!

It was one of the most exclusive inns in town, and it was clear that it had been fully occupied by Commander Morrill, as there was not a single idle person to be seen, except for the occasional high-ranking white-robed mage who came and went.

Sayers and Hunter sat tremblingly on either side of the long table, facing a table of delicacies but unable to show any affection, and at one end of the long table sat Commander Moriel, who had just taken the place of Commander Dagoras, and neither of them had a good appetite.

Morriel quietly took two sips of soup and raised his head to look at the two low-level mages, "Isn't it unappetizing?"

"Why, how come! breakfast was very generous!" Sayes hurriedly argued, and Hunter shuddered and lowered his head to drink the soup made of unknown ingredients, making a sparse sound.

Morriel lowered her head and continued her breakfast, and the two low-level mages felt their hearts pop out of their bodies.

"I'm sorry! Well, I didn't expect Commander Morrill to go to that kind of place, I offended you last night, please forgive us!" Sayes explained in a trembling voice, though he didn't quite understand why he was saying this.

"I go to the tavern once in a while, but more often, well, a long time ago,......" Moriel looked up, she seemed to be used to not revealing her feelings at any time or place, so no one could read her mood from her expressionless face, which was really similar to Dagulas, who was always a little nervous, "You don't have to be too nervous, I just don't want my opponent to be stripped naked because he can't afford to pay for the drink." ”

"Is that so, that, it's such an honor to have breakfast with the Commander!" Sayes finally calmed down, "Yes, Hunter." ”

"Hmm, hmm!" Hunter continued to struggle with the plate of soup in front of him.

Morrill pushed away the cutlery in front of her, but she hadn't eaten much.

"I know that you went back to the city this time to participate in the hearing on the demonic elves, and the order was issued directly by the Supreme Council, but I am still interested in hearing it first, the situation at that time ......"

"Of course this ......" Sayers' head began to spin rapidly, he had always thought that Commander Morriel had also returned to the city for this hearing, and it seemed that it was more than that: "It was very chaotic, in fact, I don't remember very well, but the enemy is obviously not the Night Elves - I have been on the front line before, and the Night Elves are definitely not like that!"

"So, what does it look like?" Morrill crossed his hands and gently intertwined his index fingers, looking interested, which made Sayers feel a little encouraged, and he began to feel a little impatient.

"Well, it's something completely different from the Night Elves, but, it's a bit similar, they move very quickly and stealthily, which is the same as the Night Elves, but the attack is completely different, it's hard to imagine that the Night Elves will rush directly to the Silver Warrior in hand-to-hand combat, but can you believe it, I saw a guy pierce a Silver Warrior with an arm like a beast's claws—along with his armor— It's terrifying, the kind of power that can tear a person in half with armor definitely can't belong to the Night Elves......"

"But it's also possible that an elven druid in beast form, isn't it......"

"No, this is not the same as the druids who changed into animals in nature to attack, they are not creatures of this world, they appear like demons and attack us, by the way, you just said that the demonized elves, yes, the elves that have become demons, I think this is the only way to explain!"

Morriel fell silent, as if in deep thought, and the atmosphere at the table immediately became awkward.

Sayers had already stopped eating, and in addition to the headache, he really couldn't figure out what the senior commander of the empire was thinking, and whether he should be held accountable for not resisting and fleeing......

"But their ...... Chieftain...... Obviously there was something bigger different...... "Hunt didn't notice the change in the atmosphere at the table, and the conversation between Tonguò Morriel and Sayers eased his nervousness, and the delicious food at the table was indeed very attractive, and now he lamented that the treatment of cannon fodder and the commander was so different, and at the same time he stuffed food into his mouth with some vagueness.

"What are you talking about?" Moriel's tone didn't change much as she spoke, but it was obvious that she was sizzling in the cold air and asked the question, Hunter and Sayes looked at the commander in unison, and the red-robed mage sat in the morning light from the window, the expression on his face could be described as pleasant.

It was as if the cold shivering words just now were said by someone else.

Hunter even subconsciously glanced around, and then swallowed the food in his mouth hard: "I mean, the people who lead the people, well, demonized elves......"

"Tell me more?" Morriel leaned back in her chair, and it seemed that she enjoyed the subject.

"Because I was dragged by Sayes to run outside the camp at that time, and the scene was really chaotic at that time......" Hunter didn't see Sayes frequently glancing at him, and continued to talk to himself: "I didn't see it clearly, and even I always thought it was just my hallucination, although I only glanced at it, but I can be sure that there should be no such creatures in the main material world, at least not in Argus or in the Sleeping Forest......"

"Why didn't I see that weird thing you were talking about...... What the hell is it?" Sayes thrust in.

"Because you dragged me to run outside the camp, and when that meteor hit the construction tower, I kept looking back......" Sayes patted his head, this idiot, it was better not to interrupt him:" At the moment when the fire meteor hit the construction tower, I felt as if something was above my head, and flew over with a hula, and when I looked back, there was a person standing on the half-collapsed barrier, and I could see very clearly in the light of the fire in the camp, well, it was a very tall person, it looked terrifying, and its body reflected a metallic luster, by the way, and those wings that spread out, really, it looked like a demon!"

Morriel remained silent, as if waiting for Henry to continue to say something, and Sayes began to eat, and perhaps, as Hunt said, what should happen, what it should be, whatever!

"And after that?" Morrill finally broke the silence.

"Then I fell, and when I looked back at it after being pulled up by Sayyas, the back was gone, and the tower had completely collapsed. ”

"Well, good, I know the general situation......" Morriel stood up, and it seemed that she was about to leave: "You can finish your breakfast in peace, but don't be late to report to your immediate superior, maybe we will meet in Watan City." ”

The two low-level mages immediately stood up to see them off.

"I really didn't expect Commander Morrill to be such an approachable person, it's really an honor to talk to you!" Sayers knew this very well: "Moreover, we will try not to divulge this conversation to anyone!"

Morriel, who was walking towards the door of the restaurant, stopped, she first glanced at Sayyas, and then turned to Hunter: "You said, you saw a fire meteor, is it a meteor burst spell?"

"This, I'm not sure, is somewhat like, but it could also be a cannonball fired from some cannon...... I'm sorry!"

Morrill nodded, turned and left the dining room, the two low-level mages straightened up until the commander had been gone for a long time before sitting down at the table again.

"Why do you want to make sure you don't reveal this conversation, Sayes?" said Hunter, burping as he drank milk, apparently full.

"War never happens only on the front line with the enemy......" Sayers narrowed his eyes and looked scheming: "By the way, you idiot, if you run away in one sentence or another sentence in the hearing, I will screw your head!"

Entering the east main gate of Watan City, a wide road called "Glorious Avenue" can lead all the way to the entrance of the palace, and with this royal road as the boundary, the entire Watan City is divided into two parts, north and south. Among the staggered and large-scale buildings in Qiē, the most striking is the tower group in the Mage District. To the north, bypassing the large library of the size of the Royal Theatre and up the tree-lined staircase, the Tower of the Seven Sins, the seat of the Supreme Council of the Argus Mages, stands on the hill. From a distance, the majestic towers of the city of Watan are like seven sharp swords pointing to the sky, and once you are lucky enough to stand under the tower, it will be easier to feel how high these towers are, the legend is called the Tower of Seven Sins, because the great mages of Argus who built the Seven Towers sealed the seven sins in the world under the tower, of course, some people now say that the Seven Towers represent the mage of Argus is guilty of all seven sins, but in any case, the Tower of Seven Sins as the most famous and significant symbol of Argus is no one can deny。

The top of the hillside has been flattened to become a small square - not small because the square is actually not small, in fact, you can play polo on it, and not too much because compared to the surrounding seven towers, the square almost resembles a small courtyard. The large straight trees dotted the perimeter of the square, like a canopy, but there was always an indescribable strange feeling, they were so neatly built, the thickness and height were almost the same, and even the distribution of the branches seemed to be not much different, as if these trees were not natural creations, but delicate and orderly furnishings. Facing the square is one of the shortest but at the same time the thickest towers, even so, its height greatly exceeds the wall of Watan, and the octagonal tower body occupies almost the entire side of the square, coupled with the snow-white outer wall, so that those who approach it feel that it is more like a wall than a tower, a total of one hundred and forty-three white stone stairs extend from the edge of the square, which can be described as magnificent and magnificent, and after climbing the stairs is a tower gate that is somewhat incommensurate with such a huge tower body- In fact, no matter how large the tower gate is, it will seem a little smaller to the tower, even if it is used as a conference hall and office headquarters of the Supreme Council.

"Amazing ......" Hunter, who had changed into a new robe, walked up and down the glittering floor, his face slightly flushed with excitement, in fact, he was obviously emotionally high from the moment he stepped into the mage area, like a child who had entered a zoo, and yesterday's sluggish and depressed appearance because of his escape from death was swept away: "What a great masterpiece...... Look, there's not a single pillar in such a big hall! And the one that brought us up was a floating saucer! I saw this for the first time! If these things could be in Agusp...... Think of towering buildings...... How many paupers can this hold! Sayers, you say, yes, Sayers?"

Sayers opened his sleepy eyes.

"Huh?" Then he waved his hand impatiently, snuggled his neck on the sofa, and tried to find a more comfortable position: "Don't dream, little ghost! You didn't see the Seven Towers on the first day, did you? Why are you still like this? Let's think about how to report in front of the big guys in the council......

"You're also a mage, aren't you just for this grandeur—"

Hunter stopped suddenly, as a white-robed mage who appeared in the hall at some point stared at them expressionlessly, as if he had spotted two beggars urinating at the base of the Seven Sins Tower.

"That...... The ......" Henry tugged at his neckline, trying to make a friendly smile, but he knew it was unsuccessful without looking in the mirror.

"You, and the one who slept, come with me. ”

In the large circular conference hall, the magic light shone from the ceiling, illuminating clearly but without the slightest glare feeling. There were only a few dozen white-robed mages on the stepped platforms on the six or seven floors around them, clearly divided into several small groups, and the conference table on the semi-suspended rostrum in front was full—although there were only seven chairs in total. In the middle was Singh, no one could remember how long he had been in that position, the other six chairs had been replaced, there had been a lack of people, one position seemed to have been empty for decades, maybe even a hundred years, and the new owner had only been filled in five years ago, but Singh had never moved, as if he had been sitting there since there was Argus, there was Vatan, there was the council. Now he seemed to hide his entire face behind long white eyebrows and a white beard, his eyes slightly closed, as if listening carefully to the report of the man in the podium in the middle of the rotunda—but not much different from falling asleep.

"According to the testimonies of the mages and combatants at the above levels, since at least half a month ago, this mysterious creature with both the characteristics of steel and demons has appeared no less than thirteen times on various large and small fronts and battles, and it is obvious that the target of his attack is only our Argus army and mages, not including the night elves in the forest, and the demonized elves that appeared almost at the same time are believed to be related to this mysterious creature, so the opinion of our council is that the night elves did not know where and how to get a very strange constructed creature, and put it into battle with us......" A mage at the lecture table took the manuscript in his hand and read it from the script, but even so, he was still sweating profusely and looking very hard.

Singh's eyebrows flickered unconsciously.

"It's ridiculous, the army of Argus in the Land of Composition will be defeated by a construct controlled by the Night Elves!" "The voice on the far right of the seven Supreme Mages roared like thunder, it was a mage with a face full of hair that didn't even have eyebrows and eyelashes, he was also the youngest of the Grand Mages of the Review, and he had been sitting in this position for less than six years: "We need more information, we can't jump to conclusions too soon!"

"But we don't have that much time, and besides, one construct can't make any big difference to the whole battle!We should do our best to restore the previous front, the war has already put a heavy burden on Argus, and we must end the war as soon as possible!" said a mage with a goatee on the far left.

"Whoever the enemy is, destroy him. The bearded old man next to him spoke very crisply.

"According to the report just now, he has shot down several of the latest constructed aircraft from the world, and the combat effectiveness of the other party cannot be underestimated!" the bald guy shook his meatball-like braincase, as if to refute the bearded old man's words.

"There's no reason why the Night Elves can master such a superb construction technique, maybe we should consider whether or not Argus has the question of whether or not there is a Night Elf spy, the consequences of the outflow of technology are quite severe!" The only woman, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a kind old mage who looked like an old peasant lady made a new point.

"The Night Elves aren't smart enough to use spies, and besides, they don't bother to use this method, and besides, they are not very good at it, and we haven't even been able to develop a constructed warrior with such a high level of autonomy, and we ...... even "a mage with a brain that looks more like a monster than a human is as long and verbose as his weird brain."

"Whoever the enemy is, destroy him. The bearded mage's words were still succinct and powerful, though they were basically repeating the previous sentence.

For a while, a low but obvious voice sounded in the conference hall, and the deliberation mages sitting around exchanged opinions and opinions with each other, and the hearing in the conference hall seemed to have entered the stage of free discussion
