While Liu Yang and the two women were traveling through the Amazon Rainforest ...A very serious thing was happening around the world. All countries were focused on just one subject: The Wheel of the Elements.
Beijing, China ...
At the headquarters of the Chinese government, the place was in great turmoil.
Many employees were running around while carrying doc.u.ments. The officials received information that some big shots from the Magic a.s.sociation and the ten clans would show up for a meeting.
But none of them knew that the group was already having an a.s.sembly inside the meeting room.
Inside the room there was a group of elderly and middle-aged people, they were some of the most powerful people in China, each of whom had the cultivation of at least the Mage Emperor. They were the representatives or leaders of the ten great clans, high-ranking members of the military and government, and some members of China"s magic organizations.
The atmosphere inside the room was heavy, but at the same time, they were excited about the subject that will be discussed at the meeting.
"h.e.l.lo. I"m glad that everyone showed up "The person who spoke was Tang Chen.
As the head of the China Magic a.s.sociation, he was the person who called this meeting.
But why was this meeting held at government headquarters and not at the a.s.sociation"s headquarters?
The answer was simple: Tang Chen needed the opinion of the country"s leaders. For the matter was of the utmost importance to the entire nation.
"Tang Chen, you can get straight to the point. I think everyone here knows what this is about, right? " An elderly man spoke up.
"Before we start. Have you all received the information yet? "
Everyone nodded in confirmation.
"Okay. So I"ll get straight to the point. Look at these pictures. I believe you also received these pictures before coming here "Tang Chen turned on the projector.
Several photos were projected in the air. The photos were of some broken objects, but if one looks closely, it is possible to see that these broken objects can be combined and form a circle.
The other two photos were half a fork and a whip.
The instant these people saw the images, their eyes shone with greed. They all want these items.
However, there was a small problem: None of them know whether the image is real or fake. Despite this, only the mere image of these things makes them believe that they are real.
"You must also have received this kind of information from the International Adventurers Organization, right? The problem is that even they don"t know if these images are real or not" Tang Chen imagined that these powerful people had their own information networks.
So it was not necessary to talk much about it.
None of them commented on those words. But their silence was the answer to Tang Chen"s question.
"According to the organization"s information about these photos. They were taken from various locations in the world. This map will show more details about it. "Tang Chen waved his fingers and another screen was projected.
A world map with some points marked with the photos in those respective places.
"Amazon Rainforest, Middle East, Sahara Desert, Australia, Antarctica, and Greenland. These are the places where these were taken. The people who took the pictures died moments later. These are the videos of a few seconds before something happened "
"Hi, my name is Bai Xiao. I am a Great Mage of China. I make my registration quick, as I don"t have much time. My team and I managed to discover something very impressive that can shock the world. We are currently in the Middle East. A small earthquake happened and a big crack was opened, my team and I fell into a big hole almost a thousand meters deep in the earth. Look at that. " The camera was turned and filmed a particular location.
There was a piece of stone cut into the shape of a pizza slice. There were three oddly shaped holes in the stone. If someone looked more closely, they could see that these holes were shaped like some objects. But as it was very far away, the image was not recorded clearly.
"Watch out!!!!! Use defensive spells !!! " Bai Xiao shouted at the other three mages who were ahead.
A large number of green ants suddenly appeared and began to attack everyone. The images went crazy because someone was shaking the camera from side to side. Before everything was turned off.
"These images are from a group of respondents from our country who went to the Middle East to do some research on the anthill. They never imagined that there would be an earthquake in the region. These images are sent by a transmission device before being cut.
In each region, where these photos and videos were taken, there was a group of researchers trying to explore the place.
In the case of images from Antarctica and Australia, these two sites were explored by adventurers from the international organization. " Tang Chen showed five videos.
Each video was made by a team of powerful mages, but all were killed after finis.h.i.+ng filming. The scenes shown in the video were of the same item, but the item was broken into several pieces.
"As everyone can see, in these six dangerous regions these items are located. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss what we are going to do next. The other countries are also mobilizing to try to find the place where these groups were killed "
"Tang Chen, like other countries that were sending their mages to these places. We must also send ours. But the question is: What locations are we going to choose? " A middle-aged woman spoke up.
This is an important issue. They need to decide where they are going to invest their efforts.
"We can start with the h.e.l.lish Anthill in the Middle East. Since our research team got lost there. Starting with a place where our researchers were is the best choice "A middle-aged man commented.
"I received information that the Empire of j.a.pan, the Empire of Korea, and the Empire of Mongolia are sending their mages to the h.e.l.lish Anthill. There are also reports of soldiers from Mother Russia and the Union of European Nations heading to that place." Tang Chen commented.
"We need to decide this quickly. The other countries have already sent their troops, we also need to do the same so as not to be left behind "
"We will take the vote to decide"
"Before the vote. We need to decide which locations our soldiers will be sent to. The other countries are s.h.i.+pping to more than one location. "
"Our first choice is obvious, the anthill in the Middle East. What would be the best location as the second option? "
"We will choose a location that is easier to send aid and supplies to."
"In that case, we can choose Australia because of the location. But I fear that this is extremely dangerous "
"Australia? That would be our best option if the place was not so dangerous. Sending a group of mages there will be like sending them to their deaths. "
"There is no other place near our country other than these two places. The others are very distant "
"So are we going to focus only on the h.e.l.lish Anthill? Does anyone disagree with that? " Tang Chen asked when starting the vote.
"No objection" No one voted against this.
"Okay. As a result of that meeting. We agreed to send troops to explore the h.e.l.lish Anthill" Another man declared. He was the most authoritative person on the scene.
"Ask universities and the military for volunteers for this mission"
"Yes sir"
"They are all dismissed. The meeting is over "
Everyone started to leave after the meeting ended.
"Tang Chen, what do you think of this situation?" A middle-aged man approached Tang Chen and asked.
Inside the room, there were only three people.
"Long Hai, these greedy people will send their own clan members to other locations to try to find out about the whereabouts of these items"
"I know that. We cannot prevent this, at least we managed to have an agreement to send troops to one of the six locations "
"Old Tang, have you heard the news from your young master yet?" An old woman asked.
"Old Tao, you don"t have to worry about him. The young master is currently training. When he comes back, he will give us a big surprise. "
"I see… What about your little apprentice? It looks very promising. Having awakened the fire element three times in the first awakening. She will become a very powerful mage in the future. But it is a pity that she is not a citizen of our country "
"Old Tao, you"re not thinking about stealing my apprentice, are you?"
"Old Tang, why would I do that? You already said you"re doing someone a favor. I have no reason to meddle in this "
"Good thing. Because I would be in trouble if you really did that "
"Tang Chen, Tao Ying, let"s stop playing about it. We have some serious issues to discuss. " Long Hai spoke seriously.
"Long Hai, we haven"t had a long conversation in a long time. Why don"t we have tea while we talk? "
"We have work to do. We can"t just have fun "
"Let"s have some tea. In the meantime, we can talk about some important issues.
…
It wasn"t just China that was in that kind of situation. Every country in the world was trying to find a place where the pictures were taken. They wanted information about the G.o.d of the Elements.
It didn"t matter if it was a clue or not. Anything that can be related to the G.o.d of the Elements is worth the effort.
A new race to see who will find out about the traces has begun.
How did such a thing happen? The real Wheel of the Elements is in the possession of Liu Yang. How can there be another Wheel of the Elements broken into several fragments?
