Chapter 546: Mage Temple (II)
“No, of course not.” Elder Fei replied in a haste “Captain Lin is very well. I will take you to have a rest, then notify him to greet you.”
“Captain? What kind of team’s captain is Lin Xin?” Han Yu couldn’t help but ask curiously from the side.
Elder Fei showed a faint smile, “Captain Lin is now commanding the number one mage squad of the Mage Temple, having five hundred fire mages as subordinates, which is our cornerstone in the defense against the demons.”
Hearing that, Han Yu immediately let out a laugh, “Crown princes are indeed different! He cannot even attack, yet is in command of the number one mage squad.”
Elder Fei had a changed look, “You knight, please take back your words. Captain Lin relied on his own power to contribute to the Tombal Mountain Pass, accumulating military deeds to become the First Mage Squad’s captain, and this isn’t related to Auxiliary Head Lin Chen. Moreover, who said he cannot attack? Captain Lin’s fighting power is second to none in the same step, and even mages of higher cultivation would hardly show more utility than him in the battlefield.”
Han Yu stared blankly, breaking into laughter, “Do you think I don’t understand him as well as you? We are from the same Demon Hunt Squad. Since when has he been able to use offensive magic?”
Elder Fei was greatly surprised, “Are you actually from the same Demon Hunt Squad as Captain Lin? But, Captain Lin’s offensive magic is really extremely powerful.”
Han Yu didn’t keep disputing, and showed a faint smile, “Perhaps. I haven’t met him for quite long. Maybe he really studied with effort? We’ll know when we meet.”
The Mage Temple was an immense palace. From this building, one could see the richness of the Mage Temple. Their Temple was constructed on six floors, and this immense building was the tallest in the whole Mage Temple. The first floor alone was over twenty meters in height, with simple elegance. Atop the first floor was an immense shape of a Star of David. In its center were represented magic balls of all kinds of elements, surrounding the six-pointed star. This should be an extraordinary magic array.
After entering the Mage Temple a giant hall could be seen. This tall dome was gorgeously decorated, luxurious yet not excessive. The mages’ symbols could be seen everywhere, and around the walls were densely packed fairy symbols. After entering, one could feel even denser fluctuations of magic essence than outside. But because the elements were really heterogeneous, it was in great disorder.
However, this sticky magic essence gave off a feeling of shock. Even ordinary people could tell upon arrival that the air in there was different from anywhere else.
On the innerside were six immense sculptures, the innermost two colored golden and black, the outside four were blue, red, yellow and green. These six sculptures all had different shapes, and among the lot, the golden and blue ones were female, while the other four were males.
These six sculptures were representations of the six elemental deities the Mage Temple held belief in, representing water, fire, earth, wind, light and darkness.
Mages held different attributes, which were not limited only to the six elements, but also derived elements such as lightning or ice. But in the mages’ world, it is believed that all the elements use these six great elements as a foundation, therefore these six basic elements are the root of everything, and the elemental gods are the highest deities they can believe in.
Long Haochen’s group of three knew of the Mage Temple’s standards, and as they stepped forward, each of them bowed in front of them.
Right that instant, a fantastic scene emerged. The inner sculpture of the Goddess of light suddenly glowed and spread out a soft golden radiance.
Elder Fei was greatly startled. In fact, these six elemental sculptures were not arranged there randomly, but were miracles left in this world by the real six elemental gods. The Mage Temple’s elders had miraculously managed to gather these gods’ sculptures together to the Mage Temple. And actually, the powerful defensive formation of the Tombal Mountain Pass actually used these six sculptures as its core. One could say that put all together, these six sculptures were like a multielemental divine tool, and the Mage Temple’s most precious treasure.
At this very time, the sculpture representative for the goddess of light flared up with a golden radiance, which implied that some force of common origin was stimulating it. But elder Fei had kept his eyes on these three all this time, and they visibly hadn’t done anything just before.
How could this be?
As elder Fei was still standing behind them, astonished, the soft light emitted by the sculpture of the Goddess of Light gradually gathered together, turning into a golden pillar of light surrounding Long Haochen’s body. The orange light released by his Golden Foundation Armor then became even more dazzling.
They weren’t the only people present in this hall! Others were present, and upon seeing this miracle from the sculpture of the Goddess of Light, Haochen immediately became the focus of the whole audience.
