Chapter 1235: Lessons from Elf History, the Great Arcanists Arrive

~7 min read 1,230 words

Once Kaboer's footsteps had completely faded, Haichenisi was just about to report on Magna's arrival when Iolum had already asked first: "Magna is here? What did he say?"

"My Lord, Great Arcanist Magna said he wishes to see Master Kangjienio. Additionally, he mentioned that if other Great Arcanists arrive, he must be notified immediately."

Upon hearing this, Iolum's expression could not help but dim, and then he suddenly said, "Haichenisi, do you also believe it is time to ask Master Kangjienio to step forward?"

"This—"

How could Haichenisi dare to answer that! One was the former president, the other the current president; no matter what he said, he would offend the other.

He could only lower his head and remain silent, counting the patterns on the floor. Seeing this, Iolum did not make things too difficult for this new subordinate he had not been with for long.

After some thought, Iolum gave Haichenisi a new task: "Go to Giles Tower and ask about the investigation there. Also, tell them that Magna has arrived and may convene the Council of Great Arcanists at any time. Under these circumstances, it would be bad if the Seven Towers were absent!"

"Yes!" Haichenisi immediately agreed.

Although he did not know why Magna would not immediately convene the Council of Great Arcanists but instead insisted on waiting for others to arrive first, since the president had spoken, he would simply do it.

"You may go."

"Yes."

……

After Haichenisi left, a flash of spiritual light suddenly flickered in the Study, and the Magic Net Strings vibrated violently. Shortly thereafter, Buluode, who had just applied for exploration Permission Level, appeared in the Study.

"You've come too? That's good. It's perfect for us to conduct a few more experiments together. The two plans Xia Duo provided have very considerable Application prospects; I've been researching this lately!"

"Teacher, oh Teacher, in this situation, you are actually still thinking about that experiment! I heard about this Kelifu matter even in Kangqi City. Does the Seven Towers still have no statement?"

Buluode's temperament was not impatient, but regarding this matter, he indeed paid more attention than usual. After all, neither he nor his teacher were people of the Seven Towers.

If the Seven Towers truly intended to purge forces outside the Seven Towers, he would also be greatly affected.

This incident reminded him of a period of Elf history. Back when Aryvandaar had just won the Crown War, the Crown King Family could not wait to start purging high mages.

This triggered a strong backlash from a group of high mages, causing a powerful Empire that had nearly unified the entire Elf World to rapidly disintegrate.

Nowadays, the negotiations between Netheril and the Northland nations regarding the joint establishment of the Northland Alliance have entered their final stages. If nothing goes wrong, once the Northland Alliance is established, peace and stability will become the mainstream.

Under such circumstances, the Seven Towers, possessing sufficient foundation, might well harbor the idea of dominating alone!

In the long history of the Elves, a scene that seems very ridiculous to later generations has been repeated countless times. Perhaps the greatest lesson of history is that one does not learn from the lessons of history.

If the Elves are like this, how can humans be spared?

Just hearing the news that Kelisi had died in Giles Tower, Buluode realized the rapid changes in the future. Whether good or bad, it would no longer be the same as before!

"Teacher, Teacher!"

Buluode's repeated urging made Iolum frown. He had not rested since last night, and although he had lived for a long time, his body remained a mortal shell.

With so many things weighing on his heart, he truly felt exhausted. Mentioning asking Kangjienio to step forward in front of Haichenisi just now was not a joke or a probe, but came from his heart.

He now finally understood the difficulty of Teacher Aien as an arbitrator for all parties. It was not just about calling a few groups together and letting them argue out a result themselves; it required his own judgment of the overall situation to make the mediation and arbitration that best served the interests of all parties and Netheril.

"I only hope the Seven Towers will provide a convincing result as soon as possible!"

As for letting the Arcane Union lead this investigation, Iolum had thought about it, but even Kangjienio could not accomplish such a thing, let alone him.

In a sense, the Seven Towers was equivalent to Netheril and belonged to the official side, while the Arcane Union was merely a communication platform spontaneously formed by Spellcasters, belonging to the private sector.

Wanting the private sector to replace the official side—if it were a small matter, it wouldn't matter, but if this were done for major events, it would almost overturn the foundation upon which Netheril survived.

The consequences triggered by that might be even more serious than Kelifu dying in Giles Tower.

Of course, the times are developing. If the proportion of Great Arcanists in the Seven Towers drops to a certain level in the future, perhaps the Seven Cities Council will become the true official body, rather than the Seven Towers being the sole authority.

By then, perhaps the meaning of the Arcane Union's existence will also cease to exist!

"Teacher, Teacher?"

Buluode's constant calling voice awakened Iolum from his deep thoughts. Iolum fully understood Buluode's worries, but at this moment, his identity was not just Buluode's teacher, but also the president of the Arcane Union.

He could not easily express his stance on many things, even when facing his own student: "The Seven Towers is still investigating this matter. Just listen to those rumors outside; there is no need to take them too seriously."

After saying this, Iolum mentioned the new experiment again.

Buluode agreed immediately, but still could not help asking: "Then how do you view this matter, Teacher?"

To this, Iolum remained silent. Buluode knew better than to continue asking, but as Buluode left, Iolum still whispered a reminder:

"Wait peacefully for the Seven Towers' investigation results. Do not easily express your stance outside. This matter is just an accident, but if handled poorly, it will be a disaster!"

Buluode paused, then nodded and left his teacher's Study.

……

Thus, after Magna, the Arcane Union welcomed another Great Arcanist, and this Great Arcanist's identity was rather special.

Soon, the news that Buluode had appeared at the Arcane Union spread throughout the Seventon Spellcaster circle, and then spread even further.

Before long, Great Arcanists Braun and Weide also arrived one after another.

But for some reason, whether it was Magna who arrived first or those who arrived later, none had any intention of convening the Council of Great Arcanists, as if they were waiting for something in unison.

This was the situation Xia Duo learned after coming out of the Laboratory.

Xia Duo did not doubt that the several Great Arcanists were all waiting for the Seven Towers' investigation results, but he was more inclined to believe that those few were privately colluding, preparing to unite and challenge the Seven Towers together!

Regardless of whether Kelifu's death had a direct connection to the Seven Towers, the fact that he died in Giles Tower was an indisputable fact, and the Seven Towers had to provide an explanation.
