Chapter 383: The Great Elder's Calculation
In the basement of Legion Square, the Grand Elder still stayed in his secret study.
There was a time when the study had a different owner who gave orders, but with the end of the Imperial Capital Conference, the "Lord" who temporarily occupied the place also returned to his old nest, Rand.
So, the Great Elder returned to his familiar seat, the familiar desk, the familiar smell of black tea, and the grandson who was always submissive in front of him.
The cacophony of protesters in the square could not reach the ground, so the mood of the Grand Elder was not as moved by angry slogans as the Emperor in the palace.
"Grandpa...... I know that the last few operations have been going well, but the task that the president has just given me is really difficult......"
Comey looked helpless, wanting to use the trick of playing tricks in front of his grandfather, but when he remembered that he was over forty years old, he also knew that this trick was useless, so he had to know that it was reasonable and emotional.
"In this way, several young people you have cultivated over the years have been sent out by Robert, if they have three long and two short......"
The Great Elder put down the teacup in his hand and said, "That is, they are destined to have no chance with it. Also, don't just look at the danger of our people, Irga is so dangerous, the three elders and their people have also been ordered to carry out the mission. You have also seen it with your own eyes in Ilga, and the girl of the fire phoenix is even more in the lead, killing three grandmasters. The old blacksmith didn't dare to complain that we had sent his closed disciples to the front line, and the disciples of the six elders even blew up the liaison office and stirred up conflicts between the royal family and Stuart. In this case, if our people don't go out to grab credit, why should they be allowed to enter the secret realm in the future. ”
Comey thought to himself, my own grandfather, Huo Feng and Cooper are both children born to the last batch of "Seven Holy Maidens", Cooper is a real candidate for the son of God, and the fire phoenix is so strong that the elders have begun to consider whether to change the tradition and allow women to become candidates for the son of God.
But don't you know what the quality of those cards we have!
are all children of related households, like the nobles of the empire, gorgeous but weak, so they are released to perform tasks to accumulate merits, I am afraid that if the merits are not obtained, I will take my life first.
It's all Robert's fault!
Comey gets to the root of the problem.
As if he had seen through his grandson's thoughts, the Great Elder said, "The president's arrangement has his own reasons, since he said that he will not participate in the trip to the secret realm, we must be prepared to arrange for the young people of our department to go to the secret realm."
Otherwise, if the fire phoenix or someone else really succeeds in coming out of the secret realm, then President Robert will need to abdicate. President Robert is in the same boat as us, and when he needs help, we will naturally intervene, but we can't alarm the other elders now......"
Comey immediately understood that these people who his grandfather sent out to carry out the mission were all for the other elders to see, and when it came time to go to the secret realm, his grandfather would naturally send "the right people" to ensure that no one could complete the secret realm trial in the end, and in the end, it was the "acting president" Robert who continued to be the president of this "Mithril Society".
In fact, it is a good thing to have Robert as the president, Comey knows very well that the Mithril Society has never been so powerful as it is today, and this is all thanks to Robert becoming the president.
With the funds provided by the railroad company that is making money every day, and the telegraph system that is coming in a flash as intelligence support, Robert, who is the first assistant, can also call on all kinds of resources throughout Castile at critical moments.
It's not that these elders don't know the benefits of Robert being president, it's just that Robert is not their person and doesn't share their minds. Therefore, it is better for Robert to come down from the chairman's position as soon as possible, when everyone is an elder, it will be more convenient to speak and do things.
After so many years of not having a president, the elders have long been accustomed to the days when there is no president, and someone is giving orders from above, making them all feel uncomfortable, unless it is their own person.
Comey, who figured out the joints, immediately put his mind at ease.
Recently, the actions of the "Mithril Society" have been very smooth, which made Comey a little complacent, and began to think about whether he could get into the Council of Elders before his grandfather gave way, a family of two elders!
However, as soon as he thought of the twin elders of the family, Comey immediately thought of Paul in the New World, if he came back, maybe he could also enter the Council of Elders, wouldn't it be that those guys who played with fire in the Burning Flame Valley could also have two elders!Chinese Xiao Tao
Storm's stupid can't even deal with Paul, and he is a waste of dirt!
It's all Paul's fault!
Why didn't President Robert order the arrest of Paul, who was the one who abducted the "Seven Holy Maidens", I heard that Elena also gave him a son!
Damn it!
It's all Robert's fault!
When I think of Paul's son, Comey slapped his thigh, how could I forget about it!
"Grandpa!"
"What's the matter, if it's okay, go and get busy with you!" the Great Elder was a little impatient.
"There is indeed one thing, do you remember Storm's report some time ago, he said that Paul's boy had a son, and the age was the child that Elina gave birth to. If Storm is right, then that boy is also a candidate for the Son of God!, in that case, how can the secret realm trial be without him......"
Comey was inexplicably excited at the thought that Paul's son was going to be forced into the secret realm and die in it. Well, that's right, they will definitely die inside, and Grandpa and Robert will not let anyone out of the secret realm alive to become the new president.
"I have already told the president about this, and he has sent someone to the New World to recall them. If Paul comes back, don't mess with him! He's even better than he was back then. The Great Elder warned solemnly, but the excited Comey didn't listen to the second half of the sentence at all.
Meanwhile, at the foot of the Northern Jedi Foggy Mountains.
In the leeward valley, the weeds are luxuriant, and although there is some autumn coolness, it is not cold.
More than 5,000 horses are feasting on the valley's pastures, gathering energy for the coming winter.
At the mouth of the narrow valley is a temporary fence erected by hand, and a camp consisting of marching tents is stationed at the mouth of the valley.
At the foot of the camp, a bald head was busy chopping wood.
The bald head rounded the axe in his hand, and with an axe fell, splitting a section of wood in half.
Seemingly pleased with his performance, the bald head smiled slightly, and bent down to swing another piece of wood to continue chopping.
"Hey, I told you, you must stop laughing, your laughter is too scary, so no woman will like it. A young man walked out of the tent next to him and teased at the bald head.
"Go, go, hairy kid, don't talk to me again! I don't want to pay attention to you!" the bald head saw the visitor, smiled at all, and reprimanded the other party with a straight face.
"Hey, I said bald, it's because you're too ugly, the woman doesn't want to follow you, why do you blame me for going back, don't forget, that woman was caught by me for you!
The bald man threw the axe and sat on the ground, "I said that I would marry a daughter-in-law together, but from Yorktown here, you have changed several women, and I haven't even touched it!
