Chapter seven hundred and thirty eight high heels
On November 25, the mages walked out of the hotel early in the morning and began to rush towards the Pashar Tower like office workers. This grand scene really made Crohn and Strange feel deeply - in the eastern part of the kingdom, the magicians' academic environment was closed and the gap between them was severe, and there was no such positive atmosphere as it was now.
"I really didn't expect that I could see the wizards sitting between different magic towers and listening to others giving academic speeches..."
Strange's magic tower is remote, and it is common for not seeing anyone for a year. Sometimes I make academic achievements and try to share them with others, but I always find that I have been silent for too long, and even said it is not good.
"If we just brought the mages together, no one would want to bring out these things." Crohn shook his head. He knew exactly what the magicians were thinking: "We will be honest only when we see the magic level that makes people unable to live to catch up. We can get far more rewards when sharing academic achievements, so this scene is now. So the wealth of Elson City is far from what you and I see on the surface. This city lord is really good at using invisible things like 'knowledge'."
The two of them talked about this because after signing the contract for the "Magic" journal, they made another transaction with Camilla - thirty rechargeable crystals were directly sent to the two's laboratory in the name of "Magic's First Speech" reward. Without any written agreement, Camilla only verbally "hopefully the two can take the lead."
So they became the first mages to give speeches.
At this time, we walked to the bottom of the Pashar Demon Tower. Seven wooden signs with different colors have pointed out the direction to the seven "conference halls". The mages of the "Elson Magic Research Department" also stopped researching and participated in it in uniform dress. Here, as long as they are registered mages, they can enter and exit at will. If they listen to them for a long time in the magic tower, they can also eat directly in the restaurant in the magic tower.
The venue that originally thought would be chaotic is now in order, and is moving up the marble steps that are bright and visible. The magic tower that originally belonged to the demigod Kardga really dazzled many mages.
But at this moment, a disharmonious voice suddenly came from the square outside the Magic Tower - "Why? Why should I catch me?"
It seemed that the merchant selling things in the square had some conflict with Elson's city managers, and the two sides had arguing. However, just as the mages moved their eyes away and were prepared to walk into the magic tower without caring about it, a loud bang suddenly rang out!
"Bang bang bang!"
The violent spell fluctuations broke out without any concealment. The four members of the Holy Council dressed by vendors knew that they might have exposed their identities, so they wanted to bombard the soldiers who intercepted them on the spot and prepare to evacuate. However, their spells were directly blocked by the invisible barrier, and the successive "arcane explosions" did not even wrinkle the clothes of the "City Management" team members.
Camilla, wearing a red robe, descended from the air. She didn't see her casting gestures. The invisible power pressed down like a mountain, causing the four of them to lie on the ground in exclamation!
Although "arcane" can simulate various elemental spells, it has a very unique advantage in "control" - the four "holy association" arcanes with great strength desperately resisted and wanted to get up, tearing the scroll and opening the ring necklace or magic crystal, but all their skills seemed to stop at the invisible barrier three meters in front of them. After the "crackling" light, they did not have any effect at all...
But Camilla, who fell in front of them, looked gloomy because she saw an archangel in the barrier recognize her and was shouting something. But because of the barrier, the mages around who were watching this scene could not hear the content.
Camilla raised her hand and pressed her down, and the guys who were still trying to resist were completely pressed on the ground by invisible force. She waved her hand to remove the barrier and said to the soldiers next to her: "These four people tried to destroy the order of the venue, arrest and take them away!"
"yes!"
The special "arcane chain" was quickly held on the hands and feet of the four people. Camilla deliberately used spells to seal their mouths, causing these people to stare at them but couldn't speak when they were found on the spot.
The four were quickly moved away by the soldiers, and the originally lively square and the mages under the magic tower also dispersed in an unfinished discussion. Kamilla sent a mage to the front of the magic tower to read out the "event handling result", which also made the mages feel at ease.
However, this accident also made most mages intuitively see the strength of Camilla, the "guardian", for the first time - the four high-level mages were all out of their trump cards, but they were still held down without any suspense. This gap in strength made the mages who were originally a little disdainful of her suddenly feel chilled on their backs...
They naturally didn't know that while Elson City was developing rapidly, it was actually rapidly improving Camilla's strength. The more prosperous the city and the stronger the energy, the stronger the Camilla's ability would be. A year ago, Camilla's strength might have been before the threshold of a magician, but now she... In addition to her insufficient understanding of magic, she uses the city's magic power that is close to infinite, and is basically not afraid of any magician's attack.
Although Camilla showed her skills, she was not in a good mood at this time. After the four "Holy Society" arcane artists left, they hurriedly left.
She was worried, so she naturally didn't notice another team watching all this from a distance.
Elder Dominic was still dressed as a mercenary at this time, leaning against the bar door fifty meters away, making a look of watching the fun. The city has the protection of a "constant temperature barrier" and the temperature is suitable. There is no need to wear a thick cloak to keep the cold in the middle of winter, so the other arcane masters were chatting and fucking outside.
As "actors", they were very immersed in the role at this time, and even pointed at the four arrested compatriots of the "Holy Society". Even though they were all afraid and envious of the power displayed by Camilla, they still said words like "Isn't it a search for death in Elsen City?"
"Okay, we've had almost rest."
Dominic's words seemed casual, but they represented a signal that the action had entered the preparation stage. He originally planned to wait and see, but today after witnessing the performance of other mages, he immediately confirmed a fact: Elson City's performance in all aspects was absolutely "strong", which made everyone feel shorter, so the current order was found.
But this also means... When Camilla encounters an emergency, the onlookers will not choose to help immediately!
The four members of the "Holy Council" who became bait will not disclose any information, so the next three days is the best time to start.
Dominic reached out to support the ornament that was being put on his body, and looked at the Pashael Tower with a greed look.
This place...will soon become the base camp of the "Holy Society".

November 27.
In just two days, the mages quickly adapted to the "communication meeting" method in Elson City. Because resources and academics suddenly opened up the "sharing era", most mages felt an indescribable "hard impact" - as many people had expected, this "sharing" could definitely lead to a big step forward in the magic level of the Karen Kingdom. But equally, those who pretend to be ghosts would definitely be quickly eliminated under this trend.
The saying "Real gold is not afraid of fire refining" is definitely applicable to the current scene. Many previously unknown wizards became famous because of their highly insightful papers, and were even quickly voted to make a second report ten days later. At least four or five high-level magicians with great fame in the kingdom were badly reviewed by most people after their high-spirited speeches, which was once rumored to be a joke.
A fair and perfect system no longer uses personal fame as the criterion, but completely sets "academic level" as the main indicator. Even if most mages did not give any explanations in cutting-edge fields, they were still excited about it. So much so that the mages who had a wait-and-see attitude began to apply for large-scale speeches, and the entire "forum" schedule of the Magic Tower was arranged one month later.
Various paper reports made the mages dazzled. In the Pashael Tower, you can often see figures hurried to various venues with bags. Some mages wished they could learn the clone technique and attend three or four interesting speeches at the same time - but unlike them, the Frost Dragon Kardashian was uninterested in this.
Strong strength is a factor, but in fact, the main reason is that she doesn't like to do these research. The strength of the dragon clan is born, and the magic system she learns comes from the inheritance for millions of years, which is much more profound than the fine things in the human magic world. Kardashian, who was favored by her father, did not like to study because she was a child, but she was often forced to read many books, which led to her dislike this kind of research very much now.
In the magic tower, after listening to two reports as a "low-level mage", she rejected the invitation from some mages on the grounds of "not understanding", and sneaked out to wander around Elson City. In comparison, the leather goods store that I found today that can customize "high heels" is really much more interesting than those boring reports.
The dragon clan also has a love for beauty, especially the female dragon. In Kardashian's nest, the number of jewelry of human craftsmen is far more than magic props, which is enough to illustrate this problem. Now this store is where Roddy specializes in making "high heels" for Melena. After obtaining Roddy's permission, the smart boss Fink quickly made many derivative versions and sold it all the way in the aristocratic circle in Elson City - Kardashian just passed by and looked at the window and was fascinated by the stunning look... Nothing else, just three words: Buy, buy, buy!
But after chatting, she realized that buying a pair of high heels is not as simple as paying for goods. There were more than a dozen orders in Elson City, and each customizer had to come to the store for several days to measure the size. Kardashian was itchy and wanted to show her true identity and force the other party to do it first. But when she thought of scaring Roddy, she finally endured this idea - after all, let Roddy order at that time, she could still get it in advance, right?
Thinking of this, she paid a lot of money to customize three pairs of shoes of different styles.
The preliminary measurement took three days, and Kardashian was not young, so she didn't even have such patience. She agreed happily and then left the store with the order. Not long after she walked out, she noticed that someone had been following her, but the feeling quickly disappeared.
Kardashian could lock the person who was following without looking back. She found that the other party looked nothing else. She probably just curious about her identity and followed her for two hundred meters, so she was too lazy to track down the other party. To put it no exaggeration, even if these humans in front of her are mages, they are almost the same as ants in Kardashian's eyes. How can she worry about the ants posing a threat?
So she had no interest in looking for her, and continued to stroll on the bustling streets.
However, Kardashian didn't know that this "indifference" attitude in the eyes of Magister Tucker has become a portrayal of "insufficient strength".
"I went to investigate and there was no intersection with the magic circle of Karen Kingdom, and it was said that she was a foreign wizard." The subordinate whispered in a code word and reported his discovery: "And she was only at a low level, and she seemed not very interested in the reports in the tower. Instead, she went to a cobbler shop to customize shoes. According to the rules here, she should go again in the next three days..."
"Understood."
Magister Tucker turned to look at Blanche beside him. Both of them confirmed their target and nodded tacitly.

As the conspiracy in Elson City was gradually brewing, Roddy, who ran along the road from the port, finally returned to the city.
Because he suddenly decided to speed up his way back to the city and did not notify anyone else at all, there was no welcome team at the city gate at this time. So Roddy lined up like other caravans before entering for a long time.
The soldiers at the city gate realized that the city lord had only brought five people and came back in vain. They were a little confused. Roddy waved his hand and told them not to speak out, so he quickly entered the inner city and returned to the mansion.
Chapter completed!
