Harof, Aurora and Vittorio arrived at the scene early. After checking Faiz's injuries, their expressions became a little solemn.
The atmosphere on the field was also extremely depressing, and the wizards watching were all feeling uneasy.
"Speakers...how is Lord Faiz?" A wizard from the School of Plasticity asked anxiously.
Harov did not reply, and Aurora looked at the wizards gathered here with panicked expressions and said, "Although his injuries are serious, they are not life-threatening. He just needs some time to recuperate."
Hearing this, the wizards present breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves relaxed a little, but they still wanted to know eagerly what kind of enemy could have hurt Faiz, a legendary wizard, so badly.
The legendary wizards had no intention of explaining and cast a spell together to transform Faiz back into a wizard. Then they called the best potion master and sent Faiz to recuperate.
After doing all this, Harov turned to look at Lynn and other congressmen, signaling them to come to Sky Realm tonight to hold the next meeting.
…
Late at night, in the Sky Realm conference hall on the top floor of the Corona Tower, all 151 congressmen had gathered.
Compared to the lively and noisy scene in the morning, the meeting room at this moment seemed unusually solemn. Only a few congressmen were talking privately, and worry and anxiety appeared on everyone's face.
"Lord Harof, Speaker Faiz's injury may not be that simple, right?" August asked first in the silence.
All the congressmen immediately looked over, waiting for Harov's answer.
"Yes, Faiz was seriously injured this time. I have given him the [Resurrection Potion], but the situation is still not optimistic." Harof shook his head and sighed.
"Then what happened? Who attacked Lord Faiz..." Raphael asked in confusion. In the entire wizarding land, the only ones who could threaten the legendary wizard were a few speakers of the same level.
But soon Raphael seemed to suddenly remember something and said in astonishment, "Could it be that there is a problem in the Demonic Mine?"
If he remembered correctly, the direction Faiz flew from was exactly where the magic stone mine was.
"Faiz has a life-threatening wound in his abdomen. It is possible that he encountered the Eye Demon, the Death Lord, or other more powerful beings there." Harof frowned, and the faces of the councilors became more solemn with each name he mentioned.
Only Lynn had a confused look on his face. He turned to look at Tik and asked in a low voice.
After Tik's explanation, Lin En realized that there was a very large magic crystal mine in the giant mountain Kogar not far from Greenrill. The magic power inside was so dense that it was unimaginable. Therefore, the space and time of the entire area was distorted and chaotic, and even a strange magic vortex was formed at the core.
It is like a naturally formed space-time gate, but no one knows what is on the other side of the gate. The Wizarding Land once sent several teams to explore, but in the end no one came back alive.
Some people speculated that the other side might be connected to another huge magic stone mine, but some wizards believed that it might lead to another world. After all, every once in a while, some monsters that they had never seen before would emerge from the magic vortex.
However, a lot of troubles also followed. For example, more than ten years ago, several mind flayers inexplicably appeared in the mine. With their strange mental power, they broke through the heavy guards and caused quite a mess in the wizarding land. In the end, the parliament took a lot of effort to find them out and clean them up one by one.
While Lynn was asking questions, Harrov was discussing the next steps with a group of speakers and members of parliament.
The giant mountain Kogar is too close to the city of Greenriel. A powerful and unknown monster has appeared inside, which is undoubtedly a huge threat. Many congressmen have proposed to immediately form a team led by a legendary wizard and composed of great wizards to search and eliminate this monster as soon as possible.
Tik and others felt that this suggestion was too risky, because they didn't even know what kind of monster attacked the legendary wizard Faiz. Their number and capabilities were all unknown. Any rash action might result in considerable casualties.
"We can wait for Lord Faiz to wake up, find out the situation, and then decide what to do."
Raphael suggested, but was refuted the next second.
"It's easy to say, but Lord Faiz is seriously injured now. No one can be sure when he will wake up. If we delay too long, the monster will roam around in the wizard land like the Mind Flayer, causing even greater trouble. Who will deal with it then?"
"Or we can send a few people to investigate the situation first..."
"Who should we send? You? How is that different from sending yourself to die?"
The entire conference hall was in an uproar, and the councillors soon split into two groups - go to the magic stone mine immediately to solve the trouble, so as to prevent the incident from escalating further, or investigate first and make a decision after figuring out the situation.
The two groups argued endlessly with each other, and the intensity was getting higher and higher. Many people took the opportunity to vent their fears.
Lin En did not participate in it. On the one hand, he had just become a member of parliament and did not understand the parliamentary procedures. On the other hand, there was too little intelligence and he could not think of any foolproof plan.
After some urgent consultations, Harof quickly made a decision and planned to cut the Gordian knot. He planned to lead the team with the three speakers and bring nine great wizards who were proficient in alchemy to ensure that everything would be foolproof.
The theory of universal gravitation proposed by Lin En before gave him a lot of inspiration. This time, they might be able to set up an alchemical formation to further restrict the strange space-time gate and avoid similar situations from happening again.
Thinking of this, Harof hesitated whether to bring Lin En with him on this operation, but after repeated consideration, he gave up the idea.
The situation inside the magic stone mine is still unknown. Even Faiz was seriously injured. The danger can be imagined. Although Lin En has a deep understanding of the theory of stars and gravity, he is just a formal wizard and lacks the ability to protect himself. Once he encounters danger, he may not even have the ability to resist.
"Ougst, you will be in charge of the affairs of the parliament while we are away," Harrov ordered solemnly.
"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Speaker!" August placed his hand on his chest and saluted respectfully.
