Chapter 835 Black Tide Meeting (I)
Alfonso could see that Sol really didn't want to join in the fun here, but today's meeting was ordered by Lord Flim himself, so Sol had to attend.
"Today's meeting is related to the upcoming Black Tide. The Lord Court Master specifically asked you to attend."
Saul was unmoved.
Even if we ask him to participate, it would be impossible to entrust him with important tasks. At most, he can be a scout.
As for whether he will be used as cannon fodder, it depends on whether his own strength can impress the people in the Arbitration Court.
Although he was reluctant, Thor had to put down the experiment in his hand and follow Alfonso through the Eternal Night Palace.
Finally, the two figures appeared outside the palace.
"Huh? Isn't the meeting held in the Eternal Night Palace?" Thor saw the soldiers and wizards outside and realized that the scale of this meeting might be much larger than he had imagined.
Outside the Palace of Eternal Night, a huge sunken parliament hall appeared at some point.
Like a lecture hall, the center of the conference hall is the lowest, and the surrounding seats rise in rows.
Because it was already dark at this time, each row of passages was illuminated by burning torches.
As for why torches were used instead of more energy-efficient and convenient fluorite, Thor had no idea.
He discovered that the people of Nephrite were very accustomed to using fire for lighting. Even high-level wizards would use fireproof lamps instead of witchcraft for lighting.
Following Alfonso, sitting in the first row, Sol waited quietly.
Not long after, Thor saw a man in a simple black suit and a golden crown of thorns striding into the parliament hall.
Behind this man with a strong aura, there was a short man who was timid and looked inconspicuous.
But when Thor looked over, this person pretended to glance at Thor casually.
While Thor was thinking about the data he had obtained in the laboratory before, he looked up to see the excitement and happened to make eye contact with the other person.
When they looked at each other, he suddenly realized that the scene in front of him seemed to have been filtered through a special filter, and the sky began to rain petals.
Before the feeling of surprise could fully emerge, the petals that had originally covered the ground suddenly disappeared, as if it was a dream.
Thor looked around, and it seemed that no one saw the rain of petals except him.
Even Alfonso, who was sitting next to him, had a calm expression.
Sol turned his head and asked Alfonso, "Alfonso, did you see just now..."
"What?"
"petal?"
Alfonso was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, "You just made eye contact with Black Flame's Stuart?"
Thor nodded. "If the Stuart you are talking about is the little guy just now. Yes, he happened to look over here."
Alfonso looked at Thor again, looking at him as if he was back to the first day Thor came to Eternal Night.
"Stuart is a third-level wizard who specializes in poison-attributed witchcraft. However, the poisons he developed are very special and are generally not used in direct combat. It is said that one of them can test the spiritual bodies of others through hallucinations and mark them. Anyone marked by him will be discovered by him once they appear near him."
"Aren't you afraid of angering others by marking them so harshly?" Thor said with a little dissatisfaction.
He has begun to use his mental power to scan his entire body, trying to see where the other party has marked his body.
Alfonso shook his head slowly. "It's useless. Stuart won't attack a fourth-level wizard. But none of the other marked people have found the place where they were marked. The marking process is very short. I heard that when being marked, if the spirit is stronger than Stuart, it is possible to see the marking process. It's like a rain of petals."
"And those whose mental bodies are not strong enough will not even realize that they are hallucinating for a moment. But whether they can see it or not, the marked people cannot find the mark on their bodies."
Saul raised his eyebrows and glanced at Alfonso, "You were marked too?"
"……Um."
"Will no one come to settle accounts with him for doing this?"
"Stuart is the Black Flame Emperor's confidant. It is said that he has been his bodyguard since the Black Flame Emperor was a child. If anyone causes trouble for him, the Black Flame Emperor will protect him unconditionally. Moreover, the opponent's mark does not have any ability to cause harm. It only allows Stuart to detect the approach of the marked person. It is said that this is also to protect the Black Flame Emperor."
"Does a fourth-level wizard really need the protection of a third-level wizard?" Thor sneered, holding his chin, and stopped asking.
He could see that the tribunal probably couldn't do anything to Stuart.
Soon more than two-thirds of the people in the parliament hall were present, and a wizard Thor did not recognize walked to the podium at the bottom and began to preside over the meeting.
Although it was a wizard conference, since it represented two empires, it was inevitable that there would be some complicated and ceremonial words to be said.
Although Thor was sitting in the first row, he didn't need to speak or be introduced. He simply leaned back in the comfortable chair stuffed with cotton, closed his eyes and began to take a nap.
It looked like he was dozing off, but in fact he had entered his own consciousness platform.
In the deep starry sky, the gray-white round platform looks more simple and solid. The patterns on the ground look more complex and clear.
The dead wizard's diary floated quietly in the air above his head.
Thor walked along the platform, and when he reached the edge, he stepped directly under the platform.
He was looking for the mark that wizard Stuart had placed on him.
Since the mark was imposed using an illusion, it was most likely imposed on his spiritual body as well.
Thor's spirit body has completely merged with his consciousness space. Nothing can escape the fate of being watched by the stars.
Unless its level has exceeded that of a sixth-order wizard.
Last time, the eye of the storm was hidden on the back of the platform, so Thor also came to the back to check this time.
But he didn't find anything unusual.
After going around in a circle and returning to the front again, Thor looked up at the diary.
"It's not on the circular platform, and it can't be in the starry sky. Could it be in the diary?"
Thor raised his hand, and the huge diary above his head automatically shrank and fell into his palm.
The pages of the diary turned automatically according to Thor's consciousness.
But when the back cover of the last page was closed, Saul didn't notice anything unusual.
"There's something about this Stuart. No wonder no one has ever discovered his mark."
Although Thor failed to find the mark in two attempts, he was not in a hurry.
So far, he still has at least three methods to try.
The most brutal one is the thread of destiny.
Let your eyes help you find the marks.
But doing so would be too dependent on the colorful world.
And the more Thor came into contact with the guys who called themselves the Death Teller, the more afraid he became of them.
"Compared to telling the devil about death, a diary is more convenient."
Thor's mental power trembled slightly, and the diary was opened again. Many black lines were constructed on the white pages.
These lines extended in all directions, soon outlining the entire consciousness space into a world composed of pure black lines.
It seems to have turned into a three-dimensional sketch.
Thor's mental waves carefully scanned every inch of the world.
No feedback initially.
"Eh? Even the diary can't detect it? This shouldn't be possible."
Thor scanned the entire consciousness space again.
Suddenly, he discovered something and couldn't help laughing.
"Sure enough, the most familiar stranger is myself."
