Chapter 141: Means
Chapter 141 means
"Insider? Yes, there's an insider. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" Lei Qi's fluttering words immediately led the atmosphere of the main hall of the Cloud Palace to the freezing point, and the entire hall was dead silent for a while.
Duke Princeton's face was expressionless at this time, Kenneth's eyes flashed with anger, and Snow smiled, and the others also had different faces.
"Oh, little guy, tell me, what are the inside stories that we don't know, my sister supports you. Alice swayed her bumpy and delicate body, and slowly approached Richie, exhaling like Landau.
Many young people around him were red-faced, as if they didn't dare to look at Alice directly, but the aura in the center of the whirlpool was plain and calm, and I saw him chuckle and said: "Maybe most people will habitually think that a baron who owns a territory must belong to the list of local tyrants, but it just so happens that unfortunately, not only am I not a local tyrant, on the contrary, I feel that I am simply poor to death, because I have only been a baron of the Black Wind for less than a year." β
Seeing that Leitch took the initiative to claim that he was a poor ghost, many people couldn't help but chuckle, especially the thousands of civilians in the first order, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy with this baron, who was also from a commoner, from him. The Duke of Princeton, on the other hand, had a smile of understanding and approval on his face.
"Don't you wonder, where did a poor ghost like me get the financial resources to form the magic ring? I don't know if any of you present have been to Black Wind City during this time, the White Frost Tower where the magic ring is located has already started to be built outside Black Wind City, and the building materials are white frost stones! White frost stones must be familiar to everyone, right? The cost of building such a tall tower can be imagined!"
"Could it be that someone is secretly funding His Excellency the Baron?" I have to say that Philip, a free trustee, can always appear at the most timely moment.
"Your Excellency Philip is right, and the one who secretly financed me is our supreme and benevolent Duke Princeton!" Reich patted Princeton's ass in public without changing his face, and then an iron box appeared in Leitch's hand, and he said in a rather exaggerated tone, "Guess why I took out this iron box? In the first place, it contained a whole box of gold coins that the Grand Duke had given me! To be honest, it was the first time I had seen so much money, and I was even dazzled to see it." β
"Haha. Many people were amused by Richie's words.
This iron box naturally can't really be the box that transported gold coins at the beginning, and the Star Ring in his hand is not big and has nothing to put in, or he Leqi has a brain disease, or how could he carry an iron box around. Moreover, Princeton only secretly funded him 20,000 gold coins, and the iron box that Leitch took out could hold at least 50,000 gold coins! But as long as Leitch said yes, who could object?
"Actually, I always thought that the Frost Academy was sponsoring you - as far as I know, there are still a few deacons from the Frost Academy in Black Wind City who are maintaining order at this time. Andrei looked at Leitch with a smile, and although there was not a single question mark in his words, anyone could hear the strong skeptical meaning in his words.
"The Frost Academy is just a shelter for mages to study magic, and it never interferes in the internal affairs of the Federation, it has been, it is, and it will always be. At this time, the space in the main hall fluctuated again, and an old man who was as plain as water appeared in the main hall. This old man is ninety out of nine similar to Andre, and he is none other than the chief ** master of the Heavenly Frost Academy, Ice Sage Verdon!
"See the chief!" "Reich very respectfully gave a disciple salute to Verdon, although Leitch's teacher was the prophet Roscoff, but Verdon was the head of the Celestial Frost Academy, and there was nothing wrong with receiving this salute, so no one was surprised by this, but Leitch made many people feel that he was respectful and polite.
"No need to be polite. Verdon gave Leitch a slight pat on the shoulder, smiling approvingly.
"Come on, give the Ice Sage a seat!"
"Thank you, Grand Duke. Andre didn't sit down yet, but Alice and Verdon, who were late, sat down first, but Verdon didn't make Andre look bad, just sat in the last seat flatly.
"I wonder where the Book of Tranquility is, can I see it, an old man?" said Verdon, smiling kindly, sitting in his chair.
At Princeton's beckoning, the Book of Tranquility was soon passed on to Verdon. Verdon took the book of tranquility and looked at it quietly, just like an ordinary old man flipping through the book to pass the time, while the rest waited calmly, and there was a rare silence in the hall.
"This is really the note of the Wind Sage, the Wind Sage is worthy of being the last great alchemist of the last era, and his amazing talent is really admirable. Verdon complimented from the bottom of his heart, and then smiled calmly, "I wonder which one is His Highness Kenneth?"
"I've seen the Ice Sage. Even as the son of the Duke, Kenneth was as restrained as an ordinary young man in front of Verdon.
"Hehe, Your Highness's move is really a great contribution to the Federation, this arcane scroll was made by the old man himself, so I gave it to His Highness, and I would like to express our Academy's gratitude to Your Highness for this kind deed. With that, Verdon took out a snow-white magic scroll, and the magic scroll immediately floated into the air and landed in Kenneth's hand.
"Thank you, Ice Sage!" Kenneth looked ecstatic as he held the arcane scroll.
The arcane scroll is a fifth-level magic scroll, worth 10,000 gold, which is a rare good thing in the eyes of ordinary people, but as a strong contender for the position of duke, with his Kenneth status, he has never seen any good things, and he will never show ecstasy for an arcane scroll; what really makes him have a trace of gaffe is because Verdon's move means that the Frost Academy has decided that this book of tranquility was found by him Kenneth!
And Leitch also secretly admired the chief's hand - with Verdon's identity, he could naturally come up with something better than the Arcane Scroll, but in the end he only gave away this Arcane Scroll worth 10,000 gold, but it had a great meaning in it - this can not only show that the Frost Academy has a position of support for the Thunderman Territory in this matter, but only sending this Arcane Scroll shows that the Frost Academy has not defected to the Bartley family, and the Frost Academy is still the former Frost Academy.
At the same time, it is not difficult for Leitch to understand the deep meaning of the chief's action - this is like the well-known etiquette exchange in the state of etiquette on earth, since my Tianfrost Academy has helped you, then you Duke Princeton naturally can't treat my students badly in the future, this is the unspoken rule, the contest of minds.
"Your Majesty the Ice Sage, I was able to find the Book of Tranquility this time, and Baron Blackwind is a great contributor, so I plan to transfer this arcane scroll to Retche, I don't know what you see Ice Sage?" Kenneth looked at Verdon hesitantly, with a look of inquiry on his face.
At this moment, Princeton looked at Kenneth with a thick look of approval on his face, while Snow's face was extremely difficult to see, and many nobles of the second order had different expressions - they realized for the first time that this highness who had a face of ice cubes all day was no longer the childish and arrogant hairy boy!
Kenneth's move undoubtedly shows his mind greatly - everyone knows what the truth behind this matter is, and although he Kenneth is considered to be a free gain, he proves with his actions that he will never eat alone, he is telling everyone - if you really come to me, I will not forget your benefits!
"Oh, it turns out that this little guy Leitch also played a role in it?" Verdon seemed to be unaware of this, he looked at Leitch with a look of surprise on his face, and then smiled approvingly, "This scroll should be kept by His Highness himself, naturally Leitch also contributed, and the academy will not forget him-Leqi, you are now an intermediate student, right? In view of your considerable contribution to the Federation this time, I now officially promote you to a senior student." β
The promotion of intermediate students to senior students requires 7,000 points, and if this is passed back to the academy, it will definitely make many people jealous to death - they are busy running up and down in order to accumulate that little point, this bastard is good, he has not been in the academy for a few days, and as a result, he went out and walked around, and he became an intermediate student to an advanced student? Are you sure this is not fucking teasing me?
"Thank you, Chief!" Reich smiled modestly. Of course, in the eyes of many people, his smile can only be described by the word "cheap" - cheap, cheap can, cheap makes them want to beat this bastard all over his head!
"Hey, let's verify this quiet ritual first. At this time, the Great Sage of the Light Elves, Barnett, spoke out in a strange voice.
"It's nature. Princeton nodded, then motioned to Kenneth, who in turn gestured to the Thunderman Knights and Reich, who were already waiting.
Under everyone's gaze, Retch slowly walked to the center of the main hall, and then took out the stone tablet engraved with the Circle of Tranquility from the Star Ringβthe reason he carved the circle on the stone tablet in the first place was for this moment. However, after all, this slate is just an ordinary slate, and I am afraid that if I use it once or twice, it will have to be scrapped.
Immediately, Raidy took out the tin box containing the idol of the Lord of Dusk from the Star Ring and placed it in the center of the stone slab. When Lei Qi took out the iron box, the eyes of the strong people present showed a fine light one by one, and they sensed a trace of unusual aura from this iron box!
However, both Princeton and Verdon were calm, the former had been told in advance, and the latter had flipped through the Book of Tranquility, so they both knew what was in the box. Both of them have an indifferent attitude towards the use of the idol of the Lord of Dusk in the quiet ceremony, but if this is known by those who have no intentions, I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to cause some trouble.
They had to praise Reitch's cunning - an ordinary iron box would cover up a bit of disadvantage, and the people outside would only know that the Ritual of Tranquility could transform the Blood Mage into the Quieter, without knowing what was used inside.
