Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 In the hall with the highest position, more than a dozen elders walked into the secret room one after another and sat down. The door of the secret room slowly closed, and there was a solemn element outside the door to stand guard and patrol.

Imam Yevgeny sat on the throne. He pointed to a stack of papers on the table in front of him: "The latest news has been reported to you. If you have any questions, or if you are worried about an omission, you can go through the summary in front of you. Today, we are bringing you out of our busy schedules to agree on principles for the temple's response. ”

With Yevgeny's explanation, almost every elder picked up the document in front of him. The document is not written in the usual lingua franca, but in a nearly lost wizarding script. The elders present were familiar with this language. They browse separately.

In just two or three minutes, most of the elders put down the documents in their hands one after another. Yevgeny waited another minute or two, and then spoke slowly, "The first issue, the messengers sent by the Shadow Castle, want us to recognize their legitimacy. They want us to help wizards with their migration......"

"Don't think about it," said the patriarch, before the elder could finish speaking, "evil should be uprooted! Where is the legitimacy of a group of wizards? Let those wizards gather together and catch them all. If it weren't for the fact that some wizards were deeply hidden and scattered, we would have sent troops to exterminate them!"

Two echoes rang out in the chamber. The Imam's face was expressionless, and he waited for a moment before saying, "Then put aside the first topic for the time being." Let's talk about how to encircle and suppress those wizards who have gathered together, because of the barrier of the wasteland, our manpower advantage will be limited to a certain extent. ”

"So what," Elder Cork interrupted again, "and aside, we can contact several other temples. Even ourselves, gathering all the elemental envoys, are enough to level the so-called wizarding kingdom. ”

"Haha," Elder Victor smirked and mocked, "Cork, have you been in civil service for too long? Just gather all the manpower and rush straight over?"

Cork was dissatisfied, and slapped the table vigorously: "Of course I didn't mean that! Shadowkeep is not monolithic, and there are so many opportunities for us to take advantage of. We can divide and break them one by one!"

Yevgeny looked at Cork faintly, a little smug: "It seems that Elder Cork has a lot of ideas. Then I bother you to explain it to everyone. ”

"Gladly. Cork stood up, with a sense of giving up on me. He picked up the documents on the table and said eloquently: "In terms of external propaganda and internal construction, Shadowcastle has promoted Teresa as its leader. Because of this, they have a glaring weakness. That is, the lord is weak and the minister is strong!"

Cork kept flipping through the papers, showing them to his colleagues from afar: "According to our spies, and from some wizards. The rise of the Shadow Castle, Du Shen played a very important role in it. Even, it is no exaggeration to say that there are many wizard forces who are willing to join the Shadow Castle because of Du Shen's existence. After all, with Teresa's current abilities, she would never be able to lead a wizard to forge a glorious future. ”

"Ridiculously," Cork let go contemptuously, letting the papers fall to the table, "Teresa is the descendant of the ancient Shadow Keep. Those wizards are so propagandistic and try to rally people's hearts in this way. In this way, we can easily split those wizards into two camps by turning Teresa and Du Shen against each other. If done correctly, it may even cause them to kill each other!"

"Very constructive idea," the rich Konstantin slapped lightly, "then, how do you do that?"

Cork was confident and said proudly: "I have thought about it for a long time. Our people, when tracking the origins of Teresa and Du Shen, found a lot of interesting things. Some of the news, because it has just been collected, has not yet had time to report, so you may not know yet. I'll illustrate it here. ”

Cork suddenly pulled out some blank sheets of paper from the storage tool. He divided the white paper into two stacks and handed them to the two elders beside him: "Everyone help pass it on." I have a message into a copy. ”

Cork introduced directly: "Our people found out that Teresa had encountered two dangers in Qinyin City, both of which were rescued by Master Morgan of the Kenny family. However, according to the news circulating from the Shadow Keep. Teresa thought that Du Shen had saved her. Who's lying? Morgan or Du Shen?"

Cork chuckled, like a wise man who was sure to win: "According to what we have learned. In the Shadow Castle, Du Shen once told people that he was also a descendant of the Shadow Castle. In fact, everyone knows that Du Shen, a traitor, if he can pass our secret test, he will definitely not have an extraordinary bloodline. Otherwise, how could we be fooled and reward him with elemental fire?"

"It's obvious," Cork said with both resentment and disdain, "that bastard Du Shen still has ulterior motives. He's in a lot of places, cheating Teresa. As long as we make Teresa realize his true colors, even if the two don't turn against each other, there will be a huge rift. In this way, we can take advantage of the situation to break them one by one!"

"Wonderful," Konstantin slapped heavily, "So, how do we make Teresa recognize Du Shen's true face? Our shadow has just been laid, and we have not yet gained the trust of the high-level wizards. If we tell Teresa directly. Will she believe it? Will she think the other way around, that our temple design has framed Du Shen?"

"Hehe," Cork chuckled, soundingly, "I can't take all the credit. It's up to everyone to work together on this issue. ”

Some elders secretly scolded Cork for being "cheeky". In the secret room, there was silence. The elders pondered and secretly felt embarrassed.

After a long time, Yevgeny broke the silence: "It's better to let Teresa detect Du Shen's face on her own." Try to avoid man-made traces. lest Teresa be suspicious, but weaken the effect of the blow. ”

Of course, all the elders can think of the reminder's reminder. Sandra asked, "The problem is, we can't reach Teressa's surroundings at the moment. How can she naturally discover Du Shen's abnormality?"

The crowd was silent. Victor stole a glance at Evgeny and glanced at everyone: "The quickest way is to get Teresa out of the wizard's territory." In this way, we can easily create opportunities. ”

Most of the elders still struggled, "So how do we get Teresa out of the territory, and how do we keep track of her movements?"

Sandra chuckled suddenly, and her smile disappeared immediately, "Perhaps, we can just invite her to visit? Didn't Shadow Keep ask us to admit legitimacy? If we did, wouldn't we invite Teresa as a guest in order to facilitate communication?"

"How can that be done?" "Wizards should be damned!" "How can you change the purpose of hundreds of years?" several elders retorted at the same time.

"Why not?" In the corner, a powerful voice suddenly sounded, from Du Shen's former mentor Nikolai.

Elder Cork was furious: "Nikolai, you are only qualified to observe. Who allowed you to speak?"

Compared with most of the old men and ladies in the temple, Nikolai, who was only in his forties, looked particularly young. No wonder Elder Cork was particularly angry.

Konstantin said in a strange manner: "Elder Cork, don't worry. Since Nikolai dared to speak, there must have been some insight. With the credit he has made before, now that he has become a reserve elder, we may not be able to make an exception to give him a chance. ”

"All right," said Cork, waving vigorously, "let Nikolai speak." I'll see what he can say!"

Several more elders expressed their positions one after another. Yevgeny finally nodded in approval: "Okay, Nikolai, I'll give you a chance to present your opinion." ”

Nikolai stood up and respectfully saluted Evgeny: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your kindness. Then I'll talk about my own opinions. I don't think it's because the Temple has been trying to exterminate wizards for hundreds of years because of how wicked and cruel they are in persecuting ordinary people. After all, such people, among wizards, can only be regarded as a minority. ”

Nikolai gushed: "The real original sin of wizards is that they will shake the rule of the Temple, will disrupt the stable life, and thus hinder the development of humanity. After all, they did not go through a systematic and deliberate test, and they easily imparted strength to ordinary people. History has proven that without the limits of fraternity and firmness, strength can only lead to disaster. ”

"The ancient wizard wars have taught us what a terrible thing it is to flood with supernatural powers. The ancients tried to conquer the other world because of their inflated power, but in the end they almost destroyed our own world. This lesson must be remembered. Extraordinary powers must be strictly restrained and managed. This is the purpose of our temple's existence. ”

"So, I don't think it's impossible to recognize the existence of Shadowkeep. As long as they operate as we do, as we strictly limit and manage the spread of the supernatural power. As long as they strictly forbid wizards to spread power to ordinary people at will. Even, if they can be like us, crack down on this irresponsible spreading of power. Why can't we admit their existence? Anyway, we don't have a little bit of their land and people. ”

Most of the elders in the secret room were thoughtful and didn't come back to their senses for a long time. After a long time, the elders applauded sporadically: "Well said! Cracking down on wizards is only a small section, and strict control of violence is our founding purpose!"

Almost every elder nodded in approval: "No wonder I was promoted to a reserve elder by the patriarch at a young age. Nikolai was indeed a man of understanding, a deep understanding of the fundamental interests of the temple. Honestly, wizards are like weeds. It would be a good thing if there was one more temple in the world. ”

Nikolai continued: "Actually, I think that Du Shen is the great enemy of the Temple. This man is ill-intentioned and ambitious. When dividing Teresa from him, the wizards who were on his side must have been similar people. As long as we exterminate this group of wizards led by Du Shen. The rest of the wizards, whether to kill or stay, are neither important nor easy to solve. Therefore, the first priority is to attack and eliminate Du Shen and his followers. ”

"To achieve this goal. Whether it is sincere or strategic deception. We can fully justify the Shadow Keep and invite Teresa to leave the wizarding territory in order to broker a break between her and Du Shen. ”

The elders in the secret room nodded slightly.
