Chapter 89: Masked Mage Association
The existence of the Magic Suppression Prison is quite unique.
For a long time, it has been used to imprison spellcasters who make mistakes, and the prison is connected to a tremendously powerful wizard organization. This wizard organization was one of the cores of the later Arcane Empire, significantly more powerful than the current Northern Witch Council and Wizard Alliance, and its name is the Masked Mage Association.
There are clear records.
The Masked Mages control a powerful Maze; within the area defined by this Maze, they can even monitor any spell casting. Long ago, the Masked Mage Association began selling spellcasting licenses within its sphere of influence, and one could only cast spells in their territory if they purchased a license from them. Otherwise, if you dared to cast spells outside, even something as small as an Arcane Missile, they would detect you and find your location.
In general cases, the first violation results in just a warning.
However, if a second violation occurs, the wizards of the Masked Mage Association will attack, capture, or even kill you; this is their organization’s rule.
Such actions naturally do not warrant much concern.
The reason Soren is concerned is not about this behavior, but rather about the Maze monitoring technology mastered by the Masked Mage Association.
Indeed!
They can monitor the Magic Network.
Although the Masked Mage Association relies on the Maze’s power to monitor a small area of the Magic Network, the fact that they can detect anyone abusing magic within their territory represents a very advanced technology.
This technology holds great value for Soren!
Because if he can transfer it to Modo City, then any signs of spellcasting within Modo City will not escape his eyes; he could even precisely locate the spellcasters with the power of the Maze. The Masked Mage Association initially researched this technology to sell spellcasting licenses, but by the time of the Arcane Empire, it had already become a hallmark of many floating cities. That is to say, in the absence of a spellcasting license, the abuse of magic is not allowed within these floating cities.
After receiving news from the High Priest, Soren immediately informed Gloria.
It is evident that Gloria and the Fallen Witch are also very interested in the Maze technology controlled by the Masked Mage Association. However, the High Priest and others have not made any significant discoveries yet, so everything must wait until they find the Magic Suppression Prison.
Time flies, and another day has passed.
April is fast approaching. During this time, the Material Plane appears calm, but beneath the surface, there are turbulent waves. The spies sent out by Soren have frequently reported on the mobilization of the elven armies, including repeated appearances of high elves at the borders of the orc kingdoms.
War is about to begin!
The invasion of the Orc Pantheon has finally angered the high elves, and according to the normal historical trend, Soren estimates that the main god of the elven pantheon has already entered the elven royal court.
The war is about to erupt!
This battle between races is a continuation of hatred. The orc main god’s lost eye has given him boundless hatred for the elven pantheon.
“Should I intervene?”
At that moment, in the hall of Modo City, Soren had a map laid out before him, marking the positions of the elves and orcs. This battle is a struggle between pantheons, and the resulting eruption will be terrifying. At least five or more deities will engage in a fierce conflict, and the danger level far exceeds other clashes.
Although Soren wishes to alleviate the disaster of the Saint’s Cataclysm, such a high-level pantheon conflict is not something he can single-handedly intervene in.
“Forget it.”
Soren sighed and shook his head, putting away the map, murmuring, “Let them fight.”
“If this battle does not occur, then the Spider Queen – Rose will have no chance, and perhaps the historical trajectory will undergo significant changes.”
“Moreover, the invasion of the Orc Pantheon might also be related to the Spider Queen.”
The inevitable is about to arrive.
The hatred between the Orc Pantheon and the Elven Pantheon directly leads to the coming of war, and a large-scale battle will erupt around the borders in April. At that time, both elves and orcs will suffer heavy losses.
“Soren can foreknow the attacks of demons, but the struggles of the gods are hard to change.”
Soren furrowed his brow and fell into contemplation. While he can develop in the Overseas Islands for a while, with such upheaval outside, and now that there are not three hundred thousand Paladins to support him in the Material Plane, he truly wonders if they can withstand the next wave of demons and devils. After all, the scheme of the Lord of Hell – Asmothiels is to drag the entire Material Plane into the Hell of Bartok.
The dimension is not constant.
Of course, when power reaches a certain level, the laws of the world can also be altered.
In other words, as long as the power is sufficient, even the laws of the Material Plane can be forcefully twisted into the space of the lower planes.
………………
“My lord.”
A slender and graceful figure appeared before Soren, looking quite beautiful, a half-elf Wanderer. With the strengthening of Soren’s power, the number of Wanderers in the church has been increasing, and many half-elves have the agility advantage and the potential to become excellent Wanderers.
Soren glanced down at her and slowly said, “What is it?”
The slender half-elf respectfully knelt on one knee. Then she spoke, “The Church of the Lord of Radiance has sent a batch of Clerics and Priests into the Rosad Duchy recently.”
“It seems to be related to the identity of the Duchess of Red Dragon in Rosad Duchy.”
“They are subtly accusing the Duchess of Red Dragon of being a follower of demons. Currently, the people of Rosad Duchy are in a state of panic, and many noble factions are observing.”
Is it about to begin?
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Soren’s face as he waved his hand, saying, “I understand. You may leave for now.”
The half-elf Wanderer bowed and exited.
Soren then smiled wickedly towards the direction of the Rosad Duchy. The news about the Duchess of Red Dragon’s entanglement with demons was released by him, and he did not expect the Church of Radiance to react so quickly. It has not even been a month or two, and they are already preparing to take action against the Duchess of Red Dragon.
“Very good.”
Soren cast a glance at the map, murmuring, “With the Church of the Lord of Radiance targeting the Duchess of Red Dragon, it appears she will not be able to pull off any significant schemes for the time being.”
“Moreover, the demon lord behind her should also be quite troubled.”
“In this case, the demon’s plan will likely be delayed a lot! I will have much more time to secure!”
“So next.”
“I should take some time to visit the Astral Realm!”
Thinking of this, Soren fell into contemplation.
His current strength has become increasingly powerful, and there are not many valuable things left in the Material Plane for him. Perhaps he should consider excavating the treasures located in several areas of the Astral Realm.
Unfortunately, other people have not yet been fully trained; otherwise, Soren could explore the ancient god’s corpse drifting in the Astral Realm.
