Chapter 403

This was an anti-magic circle. In this circle, as long as one's level was not higher than the master's "bodyguard," even a mage would be the same as an ordinary person.

The thousands of mortals trapped in the formation, as well as the hundreds of Free Faction Sorcerers who had bewitched them, looked at each other in dismay. They knew that they had been discovered, but there was no turning back now.

"The society of mortals should be ruled by mortals. We don't want surveillance, and we don't want compulsory education. Even mages can't control our thoughts." In the silence, a man with silver hair and a big belly said loudly from the crowd.

"Who are you?"

The man gulped and said in a low voice, "The former king of Regina Island, Bert Robin."

Adam ignored him and looked at the young man behind him. It was a level-four mage. "I'm asking you. Who are you?"

The mage looked nervous. He knew that he had been discovered. This was the risk of being the first one to take the lead. If the mission was successful, he would be the biggest contributor. If the mission failed, he would be the first to die. However, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Regina's governor, Louis."

"Governor of the kingdom? An ordinary person? "

Louis straightened his neck. "Of course, honorable mage. I'm just an ordinary person."

Adam nodded and said, "Okay, then you, you, you … you're all ordinary people, right? What you're saying represents ordinary people, right? Am I right? "

Adam pointed out the hidden free mages one by one and asked calmly.

When everyone agreed, Adam smiled and said, "If that's the case, then that's great."

"Maybe it's because the mages didn't care for it for so long that you forgot who this world belongs to. As mortals, you should have the awareness of being mortals. The reason you can live well in this world is not because of any rights or freedom, but because of the mages' gift.

The mages of the Holy Tower sacrificed their own safety to fight for the void and protect the mages' world. That's why you can live a rich life. You should be grateful, not stupid enough to fight against the mages. "

This sentence sounded like a declaration to ordinary people, but the Mages of the Liberal Faction knew that this sentence was directed at them.

They had a bad feeling in their hearts, but they did not believe that Adam would dare to kill them. Louis hurriedly said, "We have no intention of going against the Mages. We just want to get the power that we deserve!"

Adam said coldly, "Despicable people don't have such qualifications."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and flew into the sky. At the same time, a magic circle emerged from the ground, trapping them within. The magic circle formed an independent space, and Aisha's power caused the free mages to be unable to connect to the Weave.

"Are you really going to kill them? I don't think that's a good idea. Killing them is easy, but dealing with the aftermath is difficult, "isha said worriedly.

If the other party attacked, Adam would receive the attack. This was within the rules, but if he killed them after knowing their identities, that would be a challenge to the rules. The Freedom Faction might — no, they would definitely use this as an excuse to make things difficult for him. When that happened, Adam's situation would become even worse.

However, Adam was very clear about this. "Whether I kill them or not, my situation won't be good. I heard that the Freedom Faction is in action. They've sent a Hyperdimensional Mage to the Academy as the second deputy minister. If I don't get rid of them now, they'll be a huge problem in the future. If I give them an inch, they'll take a mile. My actions now are very important. "

"The Majesties are thinking of a way to stop them. If you kill them now, it's very likely that you'll give the Freedom Faction an excuse to plant spies," isha advised.

"We can't have this huge cake for ourselves. The Freedom Faction's plan to plant spies will succeed sooner or later. This has nothing to do with excuses. In a situation where we can't get rid of them, an appropriate compromise is necessary. Instead of saying that the Majesties are stopping them, it's better to say that they're buying time for me to open up the situation."

When a matter of power turned into a matter of politics, things would inevitably become complicated. However, in the end, the Mage Society was still based on power. Now, Adam had to show his power and attitude. He could not give others the impression that he was weak and easily bullied.

Therefore, these people had to die.

In an unknown space outside the Academy, the higher-ups of the Freedom Faction were observing the situation in the Academy City. Seeing that Adam had taken control of their subordinates, they had no intention of stopping him.

This was just a test. It didn't matter even if they lost the chess piece they'd thrown out.

"Our deputy minister is angry. Say, do you think he'll have the guts to kill our people?"

"If he's smart enough, he'll definitely kill them."

"Sigh, I didn't think that things would come to this so quickly. Isn't it better to maintain the status quo? The Mage World is getting stronger every day. They have their dreams, and we have our own enjoyment. Why must we force things? "

"This day will come sooner or later. They know this better than we do. Instead of accumulating conflicts and exploding with a bang, it's better to lead them out bit by bit and find a balance that both sides can accept. This is a good thing.

After all, we're Mages. Our interests are closely related to the interests of the Mage World as a whole. They can't be separated. "

Although their ideals were different, it didn't mean that their wills weren't clear. They knew better than anyone that everything they had now came from the strength of the Mage World as a whole. Rashly starting a war or splitting up would be the most foolish thing to do.

Moreover, they didn't have the strength to defeat the Holy Tower, nor did they have the ability to survive alone in the Ether Void.

"But we all know that the final conflict is irreconcilable. When that time comes, neither side will be able to compromise!"

"That's still very far away, isn't it?"

"He's made his move. Should we find a way to get rid of this little guy?"

"Put away your thoughts. We haven't reached that point yet. Don't even think about challenging the will of the two Majesties in the Mage World!" They knew that the Guardians and Night Watchers were like the embodiment of good and evil. They were the most resolute and ruthless people.

The light of the magic formation grew brighter and brighter. Everyone within felt their existence evaporating. They wailed and screamed, but everything was useless. They couldn't even make a sound.

The independent Mages no longer cared about hiding themselves. They decided to self-destruct, wanting to leave this place and return to the Magic Net. As long as their souls were preserved, the higher-ups would naturally find a way to arrange for their resurrection.

However, they found that their souls were bound by chaotic chains of spells. Their connection with the Magic Net was instantly cut off, and they could no longer communicate with their remaining souls and clones.

Adam stepped forward and took over isha's authority. He personally activated the final power of the magic formation and buried the first batch of rebels.
