TOC TOC TOC TOC made his cane the great chamberlain HIS MAJESTY THE KING!

And Duncan 2 King STAR arrived in the high council chamber.

This one was presided over by the High Wizard Profius.

When the king was comfortably installed, the magician was waiting to speak before the hundred people present. All nobles, judges, high officials and statesmen. They represented the royal clique and by no means the population. For them, the rabble was part of the scenery and was the pear of all the extravagance of this mafia clique.

The king made a gesture and Profion returned the courtesy.

"Dear colleagues, dear sisters, don't you think there's a strange, nauseating smell here? "

Many people on the board started sniffing and turning around to see if anyone had been unleashed in the room.

"I'm talking about the smell of reptiles mixed with the smell of betrayal."

Quiet, please.

"As you can see, our room is full and I thank you for your attendance! But, but, but, but looking closer, right here, right in front of me, there's an empty seat."

"I think you'll all recognize this seat. "But, uh, remind me again whose seat is that?" "Mmm, come on, you! No... you maybe?"

- "Mandrake????" dared a little voice from a Mandrake collaborator.

- "Thank you, Professor Claude, for reminding me of the memory"

Then he went to the back of the room and drew a curtain which revealed a large painting with a list and precious boxes decorated but empty and open.

"VOILA! THIS IS WHAT I WAS AFRAID OF!"

Here is the list of the missing books!

Precise trap detections

Care guidelines

Précis of protection

Anti-magic Précis

Weapons and more

Then here dimensional storage rings

Anti-magic collars

Long-range mana coms

Storage wristbands

and a grimoire of anti-divination

and again, and again, and again.

And a manual on monster and dragon breeding...

ALL THIS IS STOLEN

By who?

BY MANDRAKE

He gave the dragons the pinnacle of our knowledge!

He betrayed us

And you know what else?

The wizard dragons, they were eyeing to take the throne. They're even quarter-human hybrids just like Ignar.

Monsters beget monsters! And their offspring will be even worse!

They have managed to take on human appearance and imagine a tyrant dragon who would turn the population into cattle!

Human farms for dragons!

They would crush us with their numbers, their strength and now they have taken away the only thing we had: magic!

They have almost infinite mana. They're each like a thousand mages!

One beast comes out of the fireball of a dragon apprentice mage is from the archimage class.

NO, we can't take any more risks!

Moreover, invaders from another world, from the world of Ignar are on their way to invade us. to enslave us and destroy our way of life.

This is the image of the great observatory. Live. Take a look at this flying fortress: It's a gigantic city.

Our situation is critical and the dragons are the cause and the object. It was Ignar and his father and Morthales the Necroman who called them.

"

Brouahaha

Fear

Concerns that can be read in the eyes of board members

"But rest assured! Behold the eye of Tiamat! The summoning scepter of the red dragons!

With this, all dragons will become slaves and obey like little dogs.

We will summon them in waves and execute them in the great pit, then we will set fire to it and all traces of these monsters will be gone forever.

We will disperse and practice the scorched earth policy against the invaders.

We will harass them and we have the magic that they don't. Unless the dragons take their side. That's why we must wipe them all out before it's too late."

CHEERINGS

HOURRAAA

OUR SAVIOR!
