Fire Code City.
On the top floor of the Fire God Tower.
This was the center of the entire Fire Code City and the core of the Fire God Church. Ordinary peripheral members were only distributed in the cathedral below. Only those who had risen to the profession were allowed to enter the tower.
It should have been a solemn and quiet place, but at this moment, it was filled with quarrels.
“Get out of the way. I have something urgent to see my mentor. Now, immediately, immediately! “A black-haired young man in a mage robe was angrily shouting at the guards in front of him.
However, the guard held his weapon horizontally in front of him, preventing the young man from entering.
“Damir, Bishop Maggie is currently in seclusion. The archbishop has instructed that no one is to disturb her unless she comes out of seclusion on her own accord.
“Even if you are her disciple, we cannot let you go…”
Before the guard could finish his sentence, the black-haired young man opposite him angrily grabbed his collar.
Although his small body as a spellcaster was not enough to compare to the tall guard in front of him.
“I’ll say it again, let me in!”
“You don’t understand at all! I sensed an extremely evil power in the Dreadclaw Forest in the north. I must let Teacher Maggie know about this immediately!
Just as the situation was about to get out of control, the sound of leather boots could be heard from the spiral staircase of the Fire God Tower. What followed was a magnetic voice unique to middle-aged men.
“Shh! Damir, calm down.”
“Although it’s not that I want to intentionally attack you, your magic can’t protect you at this distance. These elite guards can easily take you down.
“So, if you have anything to say, say it nicely. ”
The owner of the voice walked up to Damir and pushed the guard’s hand back.
When the guards saw the burly middle-aged man approaching, they immediately showed expressions that were far more respectful than when they were treating Damir.
“Commander Harvey!”
Harvey waved his hand, indicating that the guards did not need to salute.
Then, he put his arm around Damir’s neck like a good brother and quickly led him away from the top of the tower where the archbishop was in seclusion.
“Let go, let go of me, Harvey! “Damir struggled non-stop along the way, but how could his constitution as a small mage compare to that of an experienced commander of a knight regiment?
It wasn’t until the two of them came to a corner where no one was around that Harvey let go of Damir.
“Alright, alright. It’s not like you don’t know. Ever since Maggie announced her advancement in seclusion a few years ago, your teacher hasn’t shown her face much.”
“Even the Old City Lord would find it hard to meet her, let alone you. ”
Harvey patted the young mage in front of him. It could be said that he was the young mage with the most potential and talent in the entire Fire Code City.
A 3rd rank professional, a spellcaster, an elemental archmage-Damir.
Similarly, he was also the only disciple of the Fire God Church’s Archbishop Maggie, the strongest powerhouse in the Fire Law City.
“Harvey, listen to me. You have to help me this time. “After being forced down from the top of the tower, Damir had regained some of his composure.
“Help you with what? Speaking of which..lYou were just yelling at the guards about the evil power. What happened?”
When Harvey saw that Damir wasn’t joking, his expression finally turned serious.
“Something happened in the Dreadclaw Forest!” Damir’s words were concise.
“Dreadclaw Forest?”
“Yes, it’s that forest of monsters. Just now, when I was meditating, there was a terrifying aura fluctuation from the direction of the Dreadclaw Forest that made my heart palpitate. Although it was very hidden and only lasted for an instant, I still caught it.
‘ And I’m very sure that the power…” At this point, the young genius mage of Fire Code City paused, as if he found it difficult to speak.
But in the end, he still said firmly, ”
“That power is definitely not one of the nine great elemental powers! The commander of the knights, Harvey, frowned after hearing Damir’s words.
“Is that why you said it was evil?”
“Yes, you’re not a Spell Caster, so you don’t understand. All the power in the world should come from the nine elements, but this power… It was very strange! It did not have any elemental fluctuations. Instead, it was more like… It’s more like a…
“Abyss.” Damir held it in for a long time before he finally found a close adjective in his mind.
” You know, it’s the kind that you can’t see the bottom with just a glance. It makes you feel as if your entire body is wrapped in darkness and coldness, and you can’t help but fall down…”
“Stop!”
Seeing that Damir was about to continue speaking, Harvey quickly reached out to stop him.
This important figure in the knights began to size up the anxious young mage in front of him. Then, Harvey held his stomach and laughed,”
“Damir, do you think it’s possible…Are you hallucinating because you’ve been reading too many novels recently?”
“You!”
“Stop, stop, stop! Alright, even if what you said is true, let me ask you. If such a big thing really happened, why didn’t the Fire God statue react at all?”
This was the real reason why Harvey did not believe him.
Fire God Statue.
It had existed since the Fire Code City was built, and it was the symbol of the Fire God’s will. It had protected the people of the [Fire Domain] for generations. Whenever a huge disaster occurred, the first thing that sounded the alarm was always the Fire God statue..
