CHAPTER 19

The meeting place of the blood elves is in chaos, the most fortunate travelers, the conquerors of the Alcazar have not reported, the possibility that they have failed or worse, that they want things for themselves, made them invoke the mirror.

Made of materials as strange as pure silver, the mirror required a sacrifice, six golden-edged scrolls were placed in front of this object belonging to the old schools, this meeting was only attended by the elite of the richest twenty, among them the six important ones were tracing the activation runes, the paper of the six scrolls began to emit smoke, an unmistakable sign that they had little time, the greedy mirror would consume the spells whether they asked for it or not.

-Show us the Alcazar, Mirror of a Thousand Eyes," the mirror as such did not employ divination, it simply connected to any animal or kindred person to show all that surrounds this construction, first they saw a multifaceted image, flies showed a black surface, then closer a fish came out of the water and showed the graves, mortuaries on the bank of a river that was not there before, A bird, discovering a new source of food, gave a panoramic view, in the distance one of the highest towers could be distinguished in a sea of plates that hid everything around it, finally a picture on the ground showed the forest at a great distance, which seemed imposing and a little larger than usual, at that moment the last scroll burned and the mirror was empty again.

No one said a word, everyone was waiting for her to speak, the fortune invested by the first expeditionaries was not small, the one who led them and one of those who would be gathered here if it were not for the fact that he was just a lump of land on the bank of a river amounted to at least a third of the money they invested, which allowed them to buy large amounts of small magic and even a large one, A gift from when this member entered the select group, they all looked at their hands, they knew that there was power there, proof of this is that the mirror did not visualize anything inside the mysterious forest, which served as protection for anyone who was inside, the question was not if these were enemies, it was obvious that whoever took the Alcazar had defended it to the maximum.

The debate was opened by the elven representative of the sea merchants, his contribution was limited to the suggestion to send more troops and more scrolls, the six disagreed, they were few, over 120 people could barely use those scrolls, 50 had some healing or protection magic, these 20 had attack spells above level 30, only the six had ranged weapons and they did not plan to show them yet, which put any attempt to approach at a disadvantage, but not everyone had bad ideas, the Minister of the Interior of Bloody Coins suggested hiring mercenaries, Cheap, plentiful and replaceable, almost no one could refuse such an offer, they were paid to fight, and the more dead, the less they had to pay, everyone postponed the next departure in two months for the rigorous hiring, each one was powerful in the city, always working, always plotting the fate of the country behind the back of the useless magician Red Cape, but now as a team, for their own sake, for the power that was there, no one thought of letting go of the opportunity.

When 14 left, the remaining six did not agree - yes - they said - the mercenaries will work if you pay them, but they are too enthusiastic and we have to pay more so that they do not turn against us, but we cannot ask the peacekeepers here for help, even though we own them, they will not want to leave the comfort of the magic field, until that moment they all murmured expressions of agreement, except for one, someone who was always silent, someone from a great past, the leader among them, he had changed his name from silver leaf to blood of the sun, boys, it is important to remember that we not only have the wealth, we also have the memories of those who preceded us, and there is one in particular that I would like to evoke, it is about the people of the east, there is a very precious order for our purposes, I only need an illusion spell and a teleportation spell, it is time for the species in our land to know: The paladins -most of them smiled, it was a cunning expression, the face of someone who knows they have done wrong but does not intend to repent, immediately some went to their quarters while the leader wrote according to a tatty and archaic language.

-Beloved Deer of Phaladine, in this fateful hour I bring you terrible news, the territories you control are seen to respect my dictates of faith, that is why your God loves you, however, determined as you are to eradicate sin on the east coast, you have left the east coast uncovered, of course sin has prevailed, for Phaladine cannot make people believe, it is His will if you choose to grow, So I would give them the divine blessing while asking the great bodies of paladins in the area, the powerful and righteous warriors of heavy armor who received death in the giant halls of an infinite feast, also bring priests, these are plagued land and any structure, animal or person who could relieve was something that would be much appreciated, especially we are concerned about a city protected by a demonic forest Phaladine in person asks you! -Release this ancestral site that worshiped your god, all of you, if you die, will be forgiven by Phaladine and will be able to feast forever.

-Brothers of Phaladine, follow the call, the map is here along with money for the journey, bring all your talismans, your weapons and your will, the evil is out there, it's time to clean up," as the letter disappears the ancient elf smiles with satisfaction, of course they will come. Sense of honor urges them to come, two months are enough, the paladins are tough, they will attack the mercenary troops when the time is right and maybe, they will feast on the forest elves, similar as only in his memory to helpless children, this war will be interesting.
