1247 Recruitment 1
Raymond left the cave in a flash, releasing his own aura without concealment, bringing the area that was squeezed and lost before back into his control.
But when he appeared on the top of the mountain, there was only an old man standing with his hands behind his back, and the auras of the other two Dawn-level wizards had disappeared, avoiding Raymond's lock and hiding again.
"I am Vadim, the supervisor of the Supreme Council, and I am here to investigate the Gray Tower Square tragedy under the command of the Supreme Council... It's just that I have no hatred with you, so I want to communicate before executing the resolution of the Supreme Council. I wonder if Lord Raymond is willing?"
The old man with a gentle smile nodded slightly as a greeting after seeing Raymond, and then made a request that made Raymond very confused.
Although he could see the force field brilliance of the Dawn-level wizard around Vadim, he could not find the other two auras after releasing his perception, so Raymond hesitated and kept alert to the surroundings, and nodded as a promise.
Vadim, who seemed to be very old, chuckled, raised his right hand and slowly released an isolation barrier, which completely covered the area of 100 meters on the top of the peak.
The movement was slow but the posture was extremely standard. This way of releasing the isolation barrier could be regarded as a textbook, which made Raymond somewhat moved.
Because only the extremely conservative scholar-type wizards would use such a nearly stereotyped way to release various spells.
For such conservative scholar-type wizards, any change is intolerable to him. It is a blasphemy against the release of spells!
Although most of them would not use this method to ask others or even their own disciples, they would never improve a certain spell in the slightest, and they were even unwilling to learn and master the improved spells. Moreover, even if it was a very complex spell construction gesture with a tiny angle, they would never make a mistake when constructing it.
This stereotype brings about a slow improvement in strength and a constant power of spells, but as long as wizards with this kind of personality can be promoted, their foundation will be extremely solid.
So when facing a conservative scholar wizard with the strength of the Dawn level, after the other party clearly expressed goodwill, Raymond had no reason to take the initiative to attack and destroy the atmosphere of communication. Because even if he could win by acting rashly, the loss he might face would definitely not be small.
Vadim, who noticed the surprise in Raymond's eyes, smiled even more kindly. He seemed to have guessed Raymond's thoughts and sighed with regret. "Nowadays, wizards regard promotion as their only goal. Even if the foundation is unstable, they try to use potions and resources to force impact. Don't they know that this will destroy their own future..."
Raymond himself relied on many resources and potions to advance. Although he agreed with this point of view, it did not mean that he was willing to take this path of promotion, so he nodded and went straight to the point. "Lord Vadim, what do you want to talk about?"
"Hehehe... young people are impatient after all, so I'll keep it short..."
There was some regret in his expression, but after taking out a pair of glasses from his waist bag and putting them on his nose, Vadim solemnly picked up a list and began to read.
"Raymond, seventeen years ago, stayed briefly in Kaiton Port in the Kingdom of Ogaso. He intervened in the power change of the Tori family and entered the Black River Valley Academy. Finally, he boarded a wizard apprentice ship to the Central Continent. When he encountered an underground black wizard robbery, he used a trick to lure and kill the escort wizard Cork, and severely injured the second-level wizard apprentice Jeffrey and drove him off the ship..."
The speed of speech was not fast, and Vadim, who seemed to have very poor eyesight, had to get close to the list from time to time to carefully identify it, but as he narrated, he actually told most of Raymond's experiences before he was "rescued" from the Red Marsh Wetland Wizard Academy, basically telling everything, with almost no mistakes.
But the more Raymond listened, the darker his face became, and the twisted power around him was revealed.
But after reading the list in his hand that looked like a questionnaire, Vadim, who took off his glasses, was only curious. He raised his right hand and made a non-hostile gesture before speaking. "Sir Raymond, you have been promoted from a third-level wizard apprentice to the Dawn level in just seventeen years. I think you must have a great opportunity to be like this. I have no other intention in telling you about your past, but just want to express the Inspectorate's understanding of you and invite you to join!"
Raymond, who had been suppressing his anger, was stunned, while Vadim, who was holding the glasses in one hand, stroked his chest with one hand, slightly leaned forward and looked at him as if waiting.
Raymond, who thought for a moment, pointed to the wizard teams he had discovered before and asked deliberately. "Invite me to join the Supreme Council's Inspectorate? Is this the way to invite me?"
"You misunderstood. These members of the Sharp Falcon Legion are only dispatched to find you. It will take more time for me and a few others to find your whereabouts in this cave, and it would be too rude..."
Vadim spoke with great sincerity, and after speaking, he raised his right hand above his head and shook it slightly, which actually caused the other two Dawn-level wizards who had not been discovered by Raymond before to show up. The two were hundreds of miles away from the top of the mountain, but they both nodded to Raymond as a greeting.
The two wizards who seemed to be hidden in the void gave Raymond a headache after being spotted by his sight, because the two formed a pincer situation with Vadim on the top of the mountain. Although they seemed to have no hostility, he had already obtained some information about the Supreme Council's Inspectorate from Gavin, and naturally knew the status of this secret department in the Supreme Council.
"The Inspectorate should be a secret department in the Supreme Council. If I am not mistaken, its head should be Belozovo of the Hamilton family, the vice-president of the Supreme Council..."
Raymond frowned and said here, looking at the smiling Vadim in front of him with some doubts. "Does it mean that the square incident, which was identified as a bloody massacre by the Supreme Senate, is in exchange for my joining?"
"Hehehe... young people are young after all, and their reactions are much faster than those of an old man like me..."
There was a faint sigh between his eyebrows. Vadim, who nodded slightly as a tacit agreement, put his hands behind his back, and the isolation barrier he had released before collapsed silently.
Perception could not penetrate into its force field protection, but the disappearance of the isolation barrier released before made Raymond feel depressed.
The three high-level wizards in front of him, who were at the level of dawn, were not a threat to him. If they released their true bodies, it would be a one-sided crushing. However, there was no life-and-death feud between the two sides. Releasing their true bodies to fight would also have consequences for Raymond, so it would be the best result if they could avoid a war.
Thinking of this, Raymond raised his eyebrows and asked. "Since you have even figured out my experience at the Red Marsh Wetland Wizard Academy, I think if I refuse, the consequences will be worrying?"
"Hehehe... That's not the case. The war order of the Supreme Council is about to be issued. The Supreme Council does not want to see the number of high-level wizards reduced because of a weak family, so the choice is still in your hands. However, the details of the war order can only be known after you join the Inspectorate!"
Vadim, who smiled a little cunningly, kept it a secret, as if the war order of the Supreme Council had great appeal. He actually put on a posture that it didn't matter if the invitation was not accepted, as if Raymond would suffer a great loss if he refused.
Raymond, who was more and more confused, frowned tightly. This kind of communication was beyond his expectations.
But before he could continue to think deeply, a ray of light suddenly appeared from the direction of the tower. It seemed to be jumping in the air, flashing continuously and heading straight here... (To be continued..)
