In the Icewind Tower's Chief Mage's Reception Room, a confidential meeting is underway.

The meeting was attended by Charlotte, who sat behind the curved table and served as the host, as well as the first Sidema and Dinah of Icewind Castle, Ramsey, the second Si Ramsey of the Secret Rite, Claire and her assistant Violet of the Soul Seat, Nancy, the chief of the Phantasmal Forest, and her disciple Kathrin, as well as Neham, who was the recorder.

By the way, Kathling also became a legend this year, and it was Vivien Leigh who became a legend last year before her.

Sitting in the council room, Nancy looked at the rare plants in the glass display case, but her thoughts were diverging. The fact that there are so many young people among the participants in today's meeting really makes her in a trance.

In fact, even Kathling, who was the last of the few to become a legend, could be called a peerless genius in the rest of the years. But in this starry era, her light will inevitably be overshadowed by a few leaders.

Should we say that heroes are born in troubled times? Or are those heroes who created this troubled world? On the eve of the meeting, Nancy actually considered this strange philosophical question.

The participants are the true core members of this alliance, and no matter who goes out, they are all top legends who can make the world of Steor and even the multiverse tremble. But such an alliance of a group of big people inevitably brought a dull atmosphere.

Ordinary people may wonder if there is an unsolvable problem with the gathering of such forces, but if you know the inside story, you will understand what an earth-shattering thing this alliance is going to do.

By the way, Archduchess Philip Leigh of Erosa was not in the alliance, not because the estrangement had become too big to be bridged, but because of some other confidential reasons, Charlotte, Claire and Nancy, who were the main body of the alliance, all judged that Fervien Leigh was not suitable to join the alliance.

After everyone arrived, the silence lasted for about three minutes, as if to sort out the logic of the next speech. Then, Charlotte, as the presiding officer of the meeting, spoke first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's give a brief explanation and summary of the recent progress of all parties. ”

Seeing that there was no objection, Charlotte continued, "Let's start with me. Allies to look forward to include Nether the Red Robe and Gruth, the Emperor of the Nether World, and the rest ......"

He named a dozen or so names, some of which were mage organizations, some of which were of assassin order, and even of certain races. Although these so-called allies have differences in fame and strength, they all have a distinctive feature, and their reputation with the outside world is not very good.

Not utterly evil, but at least all of them are righteous and evil, bold and ambitious.

Some of the attendees had heard of Charlotte's allies, and some had not, but none of them had any doubts about the reputation of the allies. This is normal, except for the Avengers, the unreasonable madmen and the ambitious fanatics who are different from the gods, who else dares to blatantly join this alliance of death.

So when the rest of the participants named their allies one by one, none of them were surprised by those allies.

"Is it trustworthy?" and after everyone had finished reporting the names of the allies they had wooed, Neham, who was acting as a clerk, pushed his glasses and asked questions that shouldn't have been asked by him as a clerk.

At this, Dema sneered, "The enemy is a god, not a single god, can we still expect our allies to charge forward and break behind? ”

Although the words are ugly, Dinah does speak to everyone.

"Moreover, these people have also been carefully considered and screened to win them over, at least from the point of view of motivation, they do have the possibility of sincerely joining the alliance. Nancy added.

Dema, who had been strained by the millennium confrontation, gave Nancy a rare friendly smile this time.

To be honest, when Charlotte said that she wanted to invite Nancy to join the alliance, the two sisters, Dema and Dinah, thought it was impossible because of their fixed thinking. So when Nancy came to Icewind Castle for the first time as an ally, she was suddenly grateful to the legendary two sisters of the unexpected alliance.

As a result, the inexplicable thousand-year-old hatred between the two deep-rooted mage organizations was laughed at like this.

But Neham did not give up, and continued, "Folks, I don't just mean a matter of dragging its feet or grinding foreign workers, but the point is, are there any spies of the gods among these so-called allies?"

The faces of the crowd inevitably turned embarrassed.

In the end, Claire replied with her usual calmness, "Neham, don't mention such a knowingly asked. Everyone in this room knows that there are spies among those allies, but so what? We don't have the time, energy, and strength to distinguish between friend and foe. To be honest, being able to gather these people in a short period of time is already a good effort. That's why we're the only ones who have decided on the next plan. ”

"We're no better. Kathling said self-deprecatingly, "Isn't it also the idea of using others as cannon fodder?"

"Hmph! What kind of spirit rhino organization, I wouldn't have taken care of people at all before! Even if it has reached the level of swallowing dates, the strength is still far from enough!" Listening to your word of discussion, Dema showed her usual unhappy expression again.

"It's all to blame on that coward,!!" Dinah began to babble and pour bitter water, "if it weren't for that bastard's reluctance to join the Alliance, how could we be so passive......!

There is also a series of scolding behind it, which is really impossible to list one by one.

Everyone knew who Dinah was scolding, it was Emmanuel, the lord of time, the nominal successor of the Lord of Time, and the most prestigious king among the mages today.

If he joins, not to mention the situation of a hundred responses, at least this alliance will not be so passive.

Incidentally, after Charlotte and Ramsay, Nancy, Dema and Dinah also visited Emmanuel separately, and needless to say, they also had a closed door.

The conversation inevitably reminded Charlotte of the self-proclaimed Victor Starlight Body, and he rubbed his brow, interrupting Dinah's utter invective.

"Sorry, it's my fault. Not only did he fail to invite His Majesty Emmanuel, but even His Majesty Alduin failed to succeed. ”

"What does that have to do with you. Claire, who is a good friend, reassured, "We can't help much. Charlotte, don't put too much pressure on yourself. ”

Dema snorted dissatisfied, but she could see that she, like everyone else, didn't mean to blame Charlotte.

"No, there's one more thing that I'm very concerned about, and it's something that I can't do with it. Charlotte retorted. Next, he speculated about how he guessed the actions of the astral Victor, how he deduced that Alduin, and even Emmanuel had been co-opted by him.

At this moment, everyone's faces became extremely ugly. It's hard to be reassuring to let an unknown that is out of control and likely harbor ill will toward Charlotte.

Eventually, it was Claire who interrupted the awkward silence.

"I don't think it's too pessimistic, although Charlotte's inference is not wrong, but on the other hand, if the astral body also has your memories and knowledge, then it should also inherit the same feelings as you. In other words, while he is the X-factor, he is likely to be the X-factor that is good for our goals. Claire calmly pointed out, "Take 10,000 steps back, even if he just wants to replace you, the astral body with your memories should understand that it can't achieve its goal by destroying you." In this way, he will have to do everything he can to make sure that you are not imprisoned by the gods. Because he understands that if the gods want to destroy you, they will not accept another Charlotte as they exist. ”

Although it can be regarded as the spirit of Ah Q, at least it makes everyone much better.

Charlotte gives Claire a grateful look and proposes a new solution.

"But even so, it is still an irrefutable fact that we are not strong enough. That's why I propose to get in touch with Gerald, the Lord of the Black, and find a way to get his support!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent!
