Chapter 271: Mordenkainen ‘s Scalpel and Entrance Examination

Matthew’s proposal was not a rare thing in his previous life. The idea of artificially creating firebreaks was mostly used to deal with mountain fires.
However, for the slow development of civilization on the continent of Aindor, such a way of thinking was undoubtedly subversive.
He hadn’t seen a similar template in the solutions that the Seven Saint Alliance had proposed.
Therefore, when Matthew said this, Rheagar and Old Fallon’s expressions were filled with absurdity and doubt.
Their lips parted and closed as if they wanted to refute, but they could not find a suitable reason.
In the end, Rheagar answered cautiously,
“With my shallow understanding of magic, I can’t judge the feasibility of your plan for the time being. I have to ask a few more people. At least I have to ask Zeller’s opinion before I can give you an answer.”
Matthew nodded.
It was normal for Rheagar to have such a reaction. After all, this was his territory.
Rheagar was the person with the greatest responsibility in Rolling Stone Town. It concerned the safety of the territory, so every decision he made had to be made with extreme caution.
“There’s no hurry. I should be able to stall them for now.”
Matthew said confidently, ” If you’re still worried about my proposal, I can set up a small experimental plot first and let you see the effects of the ritual.”
As the two of them spoke.
Richard’s elegant figure appeared on the hillside in the distance.
He walked expressionlessly, holding the end of a rope in his hand. There were people tied to the rope one after another. These people were unwilling to move, but they didn’t dare to do anything.
They looked like a group of little sheep being herded.
Matthew counted.
There were a total of eleven members of the Silver Frost Brotherhood. Half of them were arsonists, and the other half were gangsters.
At the same time, he also noticed that the leader Setrunk, who had provoked him earlier, was not among them.
It seemed like he had escaped.
Richard led the group of people to Rheagar and handed the rope to a guard next to him.
“Other than that one called Setrunk, the rest are all here.” Richard picked up the cane on the ground and flicked the dust off it.
Rheagar smiled and said,
“He escaped?! It’s okay. These few people are enough. I’m going to hand them over to Baiyan City. The average reward in Baiyan City is lower than that in Jade Court, but it’s still a considerable amount of income. When it’s in my account, I’ll ask Zeller to give it to you.” Richard did not respond.
He didn’t seem to care much about money.
Hence, Rheagar repeated Matthew’s plan again.
Richard was shocked.
Rheagar asked,
“How is it? You don’t think it’s reliable either, right?”
Richard shook its head.
“At the very least, it’s more reliable than the plan proposed by the boss of the Seven Saint Alliance.”
The boss of the Seven Saint Alliance?
Matthew asked curiously, “Which Heavenly Mage proposed a countermeasure against the Scar of Death? Why didn’t I find any relevant information in the information the Alliance gave me?”
Richard looked at the Scar of the Dead, which was shaking off sparks, and said with emotion,
“That was many years ago. At that time, there was a Heavenly Mage who was very keen on dealing with the Scar of the Dead.
“She had been busy for many years and tried many solutions without success. In the end, she came up with a very shocking response strategy.
“It was a super spell called Mordenkainen’s Scalpel.
“The level of the spell was level seven, which was also the so-called divine spell. Only mages above level 28 could cast it.
“It was said that the principle of this spell was to summon a huge pair of scissors, cut open the ground, dig out the Scar of the Dead, and then throw it into the astral plane.
“Yes, I know a mage in the Alliance, and that was what he described to me.”
Matthew was also shocked.
A spell of this level was equivalent to reconstructing a plane!
Putting aside the final effect, just cutting open the ground could easily cause the collapse of the energy field and the eruption of space-time turbulence.
By then, if she couldn’t throw the Scar of the Dead into the Astral Plane, there would be an additional piece of Astral Ruins in the centre of the Aindor Continent.
This plan was much more ruthless than his!
Although the others couldn’t understand what level seven spells meant, they knew from Richard’s tone that this plan was absolutely dangerous.
“What happened after that?”
Rheagar asked nervously, “When did this happen? Why didn’t I know about this plan? Why did it get stopped?”
Richard said, “This plan wasn’t stopped, but it couldn’t be implemented due to practical factors.
“In fact, the Mage had already made all the preparations.
“Since this spell required three Holy Mages to work at the same time, she also requested the aid of two other Heavenly Mages in the alliance.
“Back then, the Alliance only had three Holy Mages above Level 28.
“These three were also known as the three magnates. They were truly important figures.
“If the three magnates joined forces, not to mention Aindor, even the Heavenly Palace would tremble.
“However, when it was time to implement it, the other two Heavenly Mages suddenly went back on their words.
“It was said that they felt that the risks of doing so far outweighed the benefits.
“Thus, this plan ended in vain.
“However, ever since then, there have been some problems with the Heavenly Mage’s mental state. She had always felt that the other two magnates were targeting her.
“Not long after, she left the alliance and went to the north alone..”
