Chapter 17: The Magic Fallen

boom--

The surging aura exploded throughout the entire magic tower.

Above the originally quiet Raven Town, there was a sudden surge of wind and clouds, and a terrifying magical aura was swirling rapidly.

Whether they were traveling merchants, civilians working in the fields, or travelers passing by, they all looked up at the sky.

"what is that?"

"What a powerful magical fluctuation!"

"Is there a magician advancing?"

"It seems to be where Sir Thomas lives!"

Exclamations came and went.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden magnificent sight and looked towards the direction of the magic tower in shock.

I saw that powerful magic power circling in the air at high speed, as if it were real, and converging madly towards the tall tower in the center of Raven Town.

The apprentices who were working in the tower also hurried out, shouting loudly in confusion, and the whole scene was in chaos.

And at this time.

Meditation room.

Thomas was shaking violently, looking at the changes in his body in disbelief, as well as the magic power in his body that had become several times stronger.

"Six six six...sixth level!"

"Am I dreaming?!"

Three hundred years!

Ever since the dream stopped.

His magical attainments made no further progress.

The honorable wizard who was once admired by countless people has gradually fallen into disgrace to the point where no one cares about him now.

If he hadn't relied on his expertise in life magic to support himself, he would have died of old age like those people.

Otherwise, they can only take risks and transform themselves into undead or lich in order to survive.

But now.

He actually advanced.

He became the sixth-rank great mage that he had always dreamed of becoming!
Thomas was overwhelmed with emotion as he recalled the blurry scene he had just seen.

Can't go wrong.

That is definitely Lord Moon God.

Not only did he successfully communicate with the Dream Forest and sense the existence of magical elements, he was also bathed in the glory of the gods!
Although it was just a quick glance, the supreme will seemed to still remain in his heart, making him unable to calm down for a long time.

The only thing that puzzled him.

It was Lord Moon Goddess who did not ask for seeds this time.

On the contrary, to send down the oracle, one needs an entry-level magic scroll, and it is a relatively rare elementary rainfall spell.

Although the magic scroll is inside the tower, you still have to look for it carefully.

"Since this is what Lord Moon God needs, it must have a deeper meaning. We must prepare it quickly!"

Tread-tap-

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded.

After the initial commotion, the apprentices finally arrived in a hurry.

"Sir Thomas, are you okay?"

Through the door, I heard a worried cry.

The apprentices all gathered outside the door of the meditation room.

But the next second.

The door opens.

Thomas, with a slovenly face, came out in a hurry.

"Quick, who among you has a basic rainfall scroll? Give it to me!"

Basic rainfall spell?
The apprentices looked at each other, confused.

But someone still reacted and quickly took out a parchment scroll from his arms and handed it forward tremblingly.

Thomas just sensed it mentally and snatched the scroll directly.

"You are very good. Go and ask the steward for half a month's salary."

After looking at the young man, he turned around, slammed the door, and returned to the meditation room.

The boy was stunned at first.

Then he fell into ecstasy.

He just wanted to study this scroll when he was free, so that at least if he encountered drought or something like that in the future, he would not die of thirst.

As a result, this unintentional act was praised by his mentor. How could he not be happy?
Even the apprentices beside them.

The look in his eyes was full of jealousy. He wondered if he should also carry eight or ten magic scrolls with him in the future and walk around the meditation room from time to time.

"Do you feel... that Sir Thomas's magical power fluctuations seem to be stronger?"

At this time.

A girl suddenly spoke up.

Everyone who was originally focusing on the magic scroll was stunned, and then reacted.

"I also have this feeling!"

“It’s definitely more oppressive than before.”

“And it seems younger.”

"Oh my god! Could it be that he has really advanced?"

"Didn't they say that magicians can no longer advance?"

The apprentices cried out in disbelief.

It's not just them.

Even the passers-by outside.

Everyone was discussing this at this time.

The news of Thomas Will's promotion to the sixth-rank grand mage spread quickly in Raven Town and the entire surrounding area like a spring breeze, causing a sensation.

After all, it has been a long time since we heard about a magician’s advancement, let alone such an exaggerated fluctuation of magic power.

In the blink of an eye.

Many people got on carriages and rushed to Raven Town from all directions, making Raven Town the focus of the entire surrounding area.

……

"You said Sir Thomas has advanced?"

Southern Qingyuan Province.

Baron Wright, who was traveling with the team, also received the news and stopped.

"Yes, the news has just been delivered, it should not be wrong." The butler looked at the magic letter in his hand in surprise.

As a small town adjacent to the barony, Raven Town naturally received their special attention.

In addition, the previous treatment of the Baroness made them very grateful to Thomas, and they were sincerely happy to learn of his advancement.

But more than anything, I am still worried.

Thomas' sudden advancement is bound to attract a lot of attention.

Like the temple he belonged to.

Although they would not do anything on the surface, they certainly did not want to see the magicians rise again and shake the temple's finally solid foundation of faith.

"Due to the decline of magic in recent years, many believers have turned to the Holy Light Sect, causing the power of the Temple to expand rapidly. It is almost reaching a level that can threaten the empire. The situation may not be peaceful in the future."

Baron Wright muttered to himself, with worry in his eyes.

As a knight of the Templar and a noble of the empire, the two sides were originally at peace. He could live a stable life and use his identity to manage his own territory.

But if a conflict breaks out.

Then he would have to make a choice.

Should we stand on the side of the Temple or help the Empire?

“Maybe it’s not that bad.”

The butler whispered, looking meaningfully into the distance: "At least now, both sides are still at peace."

In the center of the huge team, a group of temple priests in white robes were slowly moving forward under the escort of the imperial army, followed by a team of more than a hundred trial knights.

leftover.

They are basically the personal guards of the nobles and the accompanying adventure teams.

"It just looks like everything is going well."

The baron's eyes were deep. "Where do you think the monster riots every year come from? It's just a trick played by the temple to harvest believers."

"Master, what you mean is... the monster riot was man-made?"

The butler was shocked, he knew that the Baron, as the captain of the knights, must know something.

"What else? Where do you think those fallen believers who didn't join the temple went? We are not just dealing with monsters this time."

"Protect Lisia and don't let her know about this."

The baron didn't say anything else. He just turned around and rode away on his horse to join the team in the distance.

What he didn't know was.

Licia, who should have been fast asleep in the carriage, had actually woken up long ago and heard their entire conversation.

"Lord Moon God, please bless my father to return safely..."

Licia tightly grasped the crescent stone pendant, looking at the direction her father left and muttering to herself, her eyes full of worry.
