The Malor Empire and the Kandla Empire were the two largest empires in the Sines, and their combined territories occupied more than half of the entire continent.
In the vast territories of the two empires, there was a border of more than 10,000 kilometers that was connected together, and a line was drawn in the middle of the Sines. To the north was the Malor Empire, and to the south was the Kandla Empire.
However, if one were to look at the map, they would find that this long border line in the center of the entire continent had been forcefully dug out, appearing extremely abrupt.
However, when one looked at the name of this piece of land on the map, they would feel that it was natural.
This was because the name of this piece of land was the Sky Castle.
The Sky Castle was definitely the most special city on this continent, and the reason was very simple. It was the location of the Magician's Union Headquarters.
Since the racial war 3,000 years ago, the Sorcerers Guild had been established in the Sines, and it had been there ever since.
In the past 3,000 years, no matter how turbulent the continent was, and how the empires changed, no one dared to touch the land where the Sky Castle was located.
In everyone's mind, this was the holy land of mages, and the most mysterious and powerful city in the world.
Not to mention the Malor Empire and the Kandla Empire, even the Landis Empire that unified the entire continent 1,500 years ago did not dare to set their army half a step into this place.
Offending the Sorcerers Guild was equivalent to offending all the mages in the continent.
The Sky Castle was a city in name, but it actually occupied a very large area, with a total area of more than 3,000 square kilometers. Only the city in the core area could be regarded as the real Sky Castle, and the rest of the area belonged to the Sorcerers Guild.
In the Sky Castle that occupied a very large area, and was even larger than the capital cities of the Malor Empire and the Kandla Empire, there was also a core area, and that was the towering stone tower in the center of the city.
The stone tower was more than three hundred meters above the ground. From afar, it looked like a needle piercing through the clouds.
When the Magician's Union Headquarters was first built, this stone tower only had seven floors and was less than twenty meters tall. However, as the Sorcerers Guild continued to develop, this stone tower also became taller and taller. In the end, it reached an astonishing height.
Of course, with the current level of construction in Sines, it was impossible to build such a tall tower.
The reason why this stone tower was able to remain standing was because the Magic Union had inlaid countless powerful magic arrays into it, using the power of magic to ensure that it remained standing.
The Sky Tower was not only the symbol of Sky City, but also the representative of the Sorcerers Guild's power.
However, if one was qualified to enter the top of the Sky Tower and look up, one would discover an even more shocking fact.
The top of the Sky Tower was more than three hundred meters above the ground. However, above the top, there was a huge circular plate that was suspended in the air. No matter how strong the wind was, it remained majestic and unmoving.
This magical circular plate was known as the place closest to the sky in Sines. At the same time, it was also the sacred place that almost all the magicians on the continent worshipped — the Magic God Throne!
This was a sacred place, and at the same time, a forbidden area. Apart from the elders of the Sorcerers Guild's headquarters, anyone who tried to enter this place would be mercilessly killed.
Most of the important matters of the Sorcerers Guild were decided by the Council of Elders, and most of the time, it was held here.
Today was the monthly regular meeting of the Council of Elders. Apart from the three elders who had to leave for their missions, the remaining thirteen elders were all present.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Sir Alex Ferguson, who was giving a report at this moment, and they listened attentively.
"… … According to my observations, the magicians working for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce at least surpass other magicians of the same level in terms of Magic Arrays ….. No, it's not just a bit, it surpasses them by a large amount.
As for other aspects, there is not enough time to verify, so I can't make a judgment for the time being. "
Sir Alex Ferguson put down the report that he had prepared in advance, and his gaze swept past the remaining twelve elders of the headquarters. He cleared his throat, and continued with a straight face, "If I were to come to a conclusion, then I would be very optimistic about the prospects of these low-level magicians working in New Flyer.
Therefore, I support the proposal put forward by the president of New Flyer, Xu Yi, and agree to the specific cooperation between the Guild and New Flyer. "
The rest of the elders were silent for a moment, and then turned their gazes to an elderly magician in a white robe sitting at the top of the round table.
This white-robed magician was the current president of the Sines Sorcerers Guild, Roddick Gascoyne. He was already seventy-three years old this year, but there was not a single strand of white hair on his head. His face was rosy, and he looked very energetic.
Ever since he became the president of the Sorcerers Guild twenty-three years ago, the reputation and influence of the Sorcerers Guild in Sines had been steadily increasing over the years, and it could be said that it was inseparable from him.
Whenever the Council of Elders had to make a decision on something, they would always first listen to his opinion out of habit.
President Gascoyne, who was being watched by everyone, pondered for a moment, and asked Sir Alex Ferguson, "What is Mentor Carmilla's opinion?"
Sir Alex Ferguson was slightly startled. He was talking about the cooperation between the Guild and the New Flyer. Why did the president suddenly change the topic to Mentor Carmilla's opinion?
"Mentor Carmilla did not express her opinion, but …" Sir Alex Ferguson recalled the situation when he met with Mentor Carmilla, and replied, "Mentor Carmilla is very supportive of Xu Yi. He gives me the feeling … that he is very satisfied with his work in New Flyer, and is very committed."
"That is because Xu Yi is his grandson-in-law, right?" One of the elders laughed.
"No, that is not the case." Sir Alex Ferguson slowly shook his head.
I can see that Mentor Carmilla likes his current job, and is very passionate about it. "
"This …"
The other elders and councilors looked at each other in dismay, and they did not dare to believe it.
That was a magus!
As a magus that stood at the peak of the continent's magician world, he was actually this invested in something as small as magic machines. This was too inconceivable.
"Then with regards to Xu Yi's proposal, has Mentor Carmilla expressed any opinion?" President Gascoyne asked again.
Sir Alex Ferguson was no longer curious as to why President Gascoyne was always focusing on Mentor Carmilla.
In the entire Sines, including Mentor Carmilla, there were only a total of twenty eight Magi. Each one of them was publicly recognized as a peak figure in Sines.
When the Lampari Kingdom's Sorcerers Guild suddenly reported that Great Magician Camilla had broken through to become an Arch Magus, it had created a large stir in the Sorcerers Guild.
This was because it had been nine years since the last Arch Magus had appeared. In these nine years, no new Arch Magus had appeared in Sines, causing the Sorcerers Guild to feel a trace of danger.
In the end, the Sorcerers Guild's strong prestige and influence on the continent was built on the foundation of all magicians. Or to put it more directly, it was built on the peak magicians like Great Magicians and Arch Magi.
This was especially true for archmage level mages. Because their strength far exceeded that of ordinary mages, every one of them could be considered a key figure in most matters. Therefore, whether it was in the country they were from or in the magic union, they would receive the highest level of attention.
The Malor Empire and the Kandla Empire each had seven Arch Magi. Each one of them had a high position in the empire, not a single noble could compare to them.
And in a small country like the Lampari Kingdom, an Arch Magus had suddenly appeared. That was simply enough to be on the same level as the king!
But out of everyone's expectations, this Arch Magus that had never appeared since the founding of the Lampari Kingdom had announced that he would accept the employment of a company and become an employee of the company!
Almost everyone thought that it was because the chairman of the New Flyer, Xu Yi, was Mentor Carmilla's grandson-in-law. This was why he was willing to accept the employment of the New Flyer. To put it bluntly, it was just a favour and didn't mean that the New Flyer had the qualifications to attract an Arch Magus.
But now, Sir Alex Ferguson had said that Mentor Carmilla was willing to accept the offer and was very passionate about researching magic machines. This was unexpected.
From this point of view, his support for Xu Yi's proposal would determine the attitude of the Sorcerers Guild towards this proposal.
"Mentor Carmilla didn't make a specific statement, but she said to me that this kind of thing can be handed over to Xu Yi and that the Sorcerers Guild will cooperate with him." Sir Alex Ferguson replied.
"Cooperate with him?" A few elders and councilors let out surprised voices at the same time.
"What kind of joke is this!" An elder lightly slapped the table.
"It's their fortune that the Sorcerers Guild has taken a fancy to this small company.
Now that they've taken the initiative to propose a proposal to us, they actually want us to take the initiative to cooperate with them?
Are you kidding me! "
Sir Alex Ferguson coughed lightly, "This … This was what Mentor Carmilla said.
Chairman Xu actually hopes that the Sorcerers Guild can properly discuss this and determine the method of cooperation. "
"So what if Mentor Carmilla said it?" Another elder snorted coldly.
"We respect Mentor Carmilla's opinion, but this doesn't mean that the Sorcerers Guild will lose control of this matter.
New Flyer only needs to listen to the arrangements of the Sorcerers Guild headquarters. There's no need to think of so many ridiculous proposals. "
Sir Alex Ferguson looked at the agitated group of elders with a slightly embarrassed expression. He thought to himself that he had just expressed his willingness to support Xu Yi's proposal, but now he was being opposed by so many people. This was simply a slap to his face.
He could only turn his head to look at President Gascione.
He was very clear that this kind of matter ultimately needed the President to set the tone.
