The journey to the middle of oberon was difficult because a very large mountain range separates the north from the rest of the countries.
Fortunately the association of mages had created regular transport lines between the north and the center, because of its power travelers were somehow safe
But sometimes there were unforeseen events, like a hurricane or a big storm or even a massive movement of level 4 or 5 beasts.
The Mages' Association as one of the 3 largest factions in Oberon had non-aggression pacts with the majority of level 6 and above.
Which made their flying machine the most used mean of transportation in the continent.
Our group was heading towards Ugul, one of the towns on the other side of the mountain range and then towards Vox, one of the 3 most populated towns located in the center of oberon
It is in his luxury suite that we find Alexander and his various invocations, sitting on his lap was Eva who was feeding him some fruit.
To avoid problems ( some mages taking interest in them , some girls getting jealous ect … ) the girls stayed in the room and Alexander decided to go towards the bridge to enjoy the view.
he was always accompanied by an invocation to dissuade any ill-intended action.
at the bridge, Alexander took a glass of wine and went to enjoy the sun, not even 3 seconds after taking his glass, he was hit by a young level 1 mage
Unknow mage : sorry sir I didn't see where I was going
Alexander: it doesn't matter, I'm sure you didn't notice that my purse of elemental stones went into your pocket too.
Unknow mage : what ? this is so weird.
Alexander: If I let you go , you would surely rob other travelers, so I have to arrest you.
Unknow mage : no please don't do that, I have a family, I have to feed them, I have a little brother who counts on me, I am the only one in my family who can work.
Alexander: you had to think about that before you started stealing from people.
Unknow mage : please I will do whatever you want, I am even ready to serve you.
Alexander: do you know the city of Ugul well?
Unknown: yes, really well, I lived there for almost 100 years
Alexander: then you will be our guide, I am counting on your professionalism, moreover you will not do it for nothing, I will reward you.
Matthieu: thank you my lord, my name is Mathieu
Alexander: I'm Alexander, have a drink and let's relax in the sun
Mathieu: yes sir
Mathieu's situation was difficult with sick parents, he had to provide for his family, Alexander knew he was not lying, Mathieu was too afraid of dying to work for other magicians and chose theft as an occupation plus he was good at it but the difference between a level 6 and a level 1 was too big.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
As the two of them were lounging and enjoying the sun, an explosion was heard and through the ship's speakers a voice spoke:
Ladies and gentlemen this is a robbery, we are part of the giraffe group, please go to the main deck, anyone found in their cabin will be executed.
Alexander quickly went to his own cabin to protect the girls, they had 7 level 5 summons with them but you never know.
when they arrived at the main deck, the kidnappers were already bound and gagged. It turns out that these apprentice hijackers only had one level 4, a higher level 6 mage stopped them
A question then arises, why would a level 4 magician attack level 6 mages?
Suddenly another explosion was heard and Alexander decided to go see what was happening with the engine, maybe he could help
Some mages followed him, in the engine room, two level 6 mages stared at each other, one with a suitcase and the other with a dagger in his hand, the cause of the explosions was a fight between this two.
''stop you fools, you're going to break the ship with your spells'' exclaimed one of the level 6 mages in the crowd
the mages who was holding the suitcase exclaimed: I am one of the mages of Ourmos, this mage is a bandit who wants to attack me, anyone who can helps me kill him will be greatly rewarded.
Usually, a level 7 mage was stationed in each flying ship but this time, it seems that only a level 6 mage is present.
No one in the group of mage who came spoke, some even returned to the bridge fearing that an attack would kill them.
Only 4 level 6 mages stayed in the engine room, seeing that no one was moving, the Ourmos mage decided to be more specific about the reward: I will give you 2000 pounds of level 6 elemental stone
The offer was tempting, with so many elemental stones, any mage could build a small faction or a laboratory.
Still no one came forward, Rick the Ourmos mage continued :'' I offered 1 level 6 fire dagger, it increase spell casting speed by 30 % and mana regeneration by 20 % and i'll add the 2,000 pounds of level 6 elemental stones ''.
with the appearance of the dagger, a mage finally came forward.
''give me the dagger and i will help you'' said the mage.
So they started attacking the other level 6 mage but with the three magicians attacks, the engine room was really going to explode.
the helper asked rick to leave the engine room because their aggressor want what is in his briefcase, he will surely follow you if you leave exclaimed the helper
Once at the deck, the three mages continued their battle, after 30 minutes the two level 6 level mages managed to seriously injure the other one, the latter jumped into the void and flew towards the horizon. ( mages can fly from level 4).
The two mages sustained damage so they didn't chase him , proof that the other mage was strong.
everyone regained their calm, the bandit group was questioned by the level 6 mage, who knows what will happen to them as no one attacks the Ourmos faction and gets away with it.
The real question now was, what was in the briefcase ? perhaps a high rank equipment or a high level elemental stone, perhaps some paper on alchemy
The fact that it was a level 6 mage who attacked rick did not interest Alexander too much, at least not to the point of risking a conflict with a faction like ourmos that has a level 9 mage.
Once they arrived at the city of Ugul, our friends finally got off of the flying machine who was almost destroyed by the aftershock of the battle
the cities in the center of oberon were large and beautiful, possessing powerful mages, this part of the world have developed to an unimaginable point, feeling safe, humans focused on knowledge and with it all kind of sciences and arts have come to be.
Medicine, mathematics and physics have made great strides, unlike the north where the security of the individual was not guaranteed, the center was a prosperous land.
The main bases of the three factions were located in the center, in the city of the ancient mage, the one that never sleeps Kalindra
The purpose of Alexander's visit to the Middle Lands was firstly to sell nectar (rank I and II) and secondly to create a trade route between Agartha and Kalindra, a plus would be to find another way to make money because all the wealth of Alexander still did not allow him to have a level 5 weapons and armor for 50 of his summons ( and this number will only go up )
The different levels 6 and 5 were walking around with the other mages or even the level 0 without any arrogance, we can see through all of this the work of the mages of Ourmos who established laws which protected the people, of course the Mages of level 6 and above had noble status and it was difficult to stop them but the laws of Ourmos were still useful for establishing some order.
