The Flame Sanctuary sent an Elder directly to the Shadow Keep. Elder Sandra www.biquge.info Pen %Fun Pavilion, made a request to Teresa: "As long as the Shadow Fortress follows the business model of the Temple, wizards are strictly forbidden to teach witchcraft to ordinary people. The Flame Sanctuary will recognize the existence of the Shadow Keep and live in peace. ”

Regarding how to limit the spread of witchcraft by wizards, Sandra gives Teresa a copy. It contains detailed rules, prohibitions, and penalties, and is very strict and thorough.

The Flame Sanctuary's request caused a heated debate in the upper echelons of the Shadow Keep. Some people think that it would be good if the two sides could coexist peacefully. Some believe that the Templar harbors evil intentions and is intended to weaken and limit the development of the Shadowkeep. There were also those who were high-spirited and believed that destroying the temple was the way to go.

Whatever the view, there was a consensus that for the time being, Shadowkeep should try to make peace with the Templars. In this way, we can develop rapidly and accumulate strength. When the strength is enough in the future, whether to fight or to make a decision again.

As a result, Teresa decided to accept the invitation of the Flame Sanctuary to participate in the talks and sign a peace agreement. The Flame Sanctuary promised that as long as the Shadowkeep did show good faith, they would intervene to help the Shadowkeep reach an agreement with the other Temples to coexist peacefully.

In fact, because of the distance, the attitudes of the other temples were not very important. If they want to conquer the Shadow Keep, they must traverse the Flame Sanctuary's sphere of influence, and they need the cooperation of the Scorching Mountain Sanctuary.

Despite the dissuasion of several high-level officials, Teresa insisted on participating in the peace talks. The Shadowkeep hierarchy was concerned about Teresa's physical integrity, and naturally did not agree to use Greentown as a negotiation location. After some arguments, Sandra relented and proposed names for three ordinary cities. She asked Teresa to choose one of them as the location for the meeting.

Sandra's proposal was not immediately accepted by everyone. A wizard suggested that Shadowcastle choose a random city as the meeting place to avoid a killing situation in the Temple.

However, Sandra also said that the tragedy of the city of Pomia is not far away. If the Shadowkeep chooses the location for the meeting, the Templars fear that they will be ambushed by the wizards.

Plans for peace talks, and therefore stalled. After some back-and-forth, the Templars offered to decide the date of the meeting.

Sandra swore to everyone, "We are very sincere. You don't have to tell us the time of the meeting right away. Within a year, whenever you request a meeting, His Excellency the Imam will make every effort to attend the appointment in order to finalize the peace agreement. ”

Such a performance is somewhat indicative of the sincerity of the temple.

Eventually, Teresa stepped in to convince the other wizards. Teresa decided to choose a location for the meeting from among the three cities proposed by Sandra.

Perhaps because of her relative familiarity, Teresa chose Qinyin City from three cities as the location for the peace talks.

Sandra sighed "good luck". Actually, even if Teresa didn't choose Qinyin City. The Flame Sanctuary will also try to get Teresa to meet Morgan Kenny.

As for the dates of the talks. After discussion, the Shadowkeep higher-ups decided to choose the nearest one. After calculating the time it would take to make the journey, Teresa told Sandra a hasty date to avoid any ill-conceived arrangements for the temple.

Originally, the wizards planned to send as much force as possible to protect and receive Teresa along the way. However, under Teresa's persuasion, everyone dismissed the idea of protection.

Teresa believes that she and Du Shen are both descendants of Shadowkeep. She was involved in the peace talks, even if she was imprisoned or even killed by the Temple. With Du Shen's succession, the development of the wizard kingdom will hardly be affected. And if too many people are sent to protect her from the peace talks. On the contrary, they were easily ambushed by the temple and lost their troops.

The wizards agreed that Teressa's considerations were very reasonable. This can greatly reduce the risk of peace talks. However, Teresa is the Lord of all. Even Du Shen respects Teresa as a monarch on weekdays.

The sovereign's safety was at stake, and of course it was impossible for the wizards to agree with Teresa's choice. Everyone turned their attention to Du Shen, who had a special identity.

"Teresa," Du Shen looked calm, "I hope you think it through." Perhaps the so-called peace talks in the temple were a trap through and through. They just want to trick you, the leader, out of the situation. In this way, it strikes the hearts of wizards. ”

"It doesn't matter," Teresa said in a spirited manner, "and it would be too much trouble not to mention the Temple's performance. Even if I die, you can gather your heart and avenge me, right?"

Du Shen shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and looked around at the others in the room: "Everyone, congratulations to us on a heroic monarch. Since she is willing to risk her life to buy time for her subordinates to recuperate. What more can we be dissatisfied with?"

The wizards below were silent. Du Shen made the final decision: "As the leader, Teresa knows the situation and has made a decision. We owe it to us. ”

In this way, the next morning, Teresa and Sandra go to the city of Qinyin to participate in the peace talks. Megan leads a team of wizards and escorts them to protect.

Although Du Shen and others agreed with Teressa's statement. But that means that most of the power will not be called upon to protect and respond to Teressa. Basic escort to Teressa, and reception on the return trip. Du Shen and others will not ignore it.

Just bidding farewell to Teressa, Du Shen stopped all his companions. He led the people to the secret room where they had been discussed.

Except for Megan, who escorted Teresa away, all the high-ranking people in the wizarding kingdom who held great power reunited.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Du Shen sat on the side of the main seat, still vacating Teressa's main seat, "I want you to keep the matter we discuss strictly confidential. Get rid of us who are there, and never allow more people to know. Including Teresa!"

Du Shen glanced at everyone solemnly. Most of the wizards in the secret room are very calm. Only a few wizards, such as Shirley, showed a little unease.

Du Shen pressed the armrest with one hand and leaned forward slightly: "After a while of discussion, we are all sure that we need a peaceful time to develop and grow. Peace, however, is not something that is begged for, but something that is earned. Whatever the purpose of the temple's "peace talks" may be. I think we should all be prepared. ”

The wizards below didn't move. They waited for Du Shen to elaborate.

Du Shen continued: "I deliberately created the illusion that there was a split within us. I'm going to lead some of my men out of the Shadow Keep under the guise of it. After that, I would lead people around to harass and raid the temple in order to attract hatred. ”

"Our division, the temple will be happy to see it happen. Most of them will appease you while pursuing the traitors I lead. And as long as I hold on, I can buy time for the new kingdom to grow. After all, everyone would think that it would be easier to defeat the enemy one by one. ”

Du Shen paused and looked around at everyone: "Do you have any objections?"

There was a brief silence. Ronald, who came from the Divine Beast's Lair, spoke calmly: "My lord, are you planning to personally lead the wizards to attack the temple? But you don't have to be there yourself, are you? let me lead the attention of the temple. ”

Du Shen shook his head: "First of all, among us, the person who hates the temple the most is probably me. Second, with my ability, it is easier to pose a sufficient threat to the temple. Only by making the temple feel enough pain will they focus their attention. In this way, the temple will be temporarily ignored, and even enveloped the Shadow Fortress. ”

Ronald hesitated briefly and nodded: "If it's just a fake split, I agree with the plan." However, in this case, the temple must be believed. What can we do to make the temple really think that we are divisive, or even turned against us?"

"Of course, this needs an opportunity," Du explained vaguely, "I suspect that Teressa's peace talks will be manipulated by the Temple." I've done some setups before. I reckon the temple would have seized on these arrangements as a weakness that I had missed. Most of them will try to ruin my relationship with Teresa. ”

House, who was in charge of the security of the castle and the new territory, was confused: "My lord, can you make it clear?"

Du Shen shook his head: "In short, you just need to know that one day in the future, I will probably fall out with Teresa and be forced to leave the Shadow Castle." ”

"How can this be done!" the crowd was either shocked or panicked. Someone shouted, "No, my lord, you and Your Highness Teresa are the core of the Shadow Keep. It's too late for us to work together, how can we have a conflict?"

"Don't panic," Du Shen waved his hand and explained nonchalantly, "It's not a real break." Just to convince the enemy that it is true, it must also be believed that it is true. At the same time, it also makes most wizards think it is true......"

Ronald got up abruptly and walked towards Du Shen. He quickly stopped and shook his head heavily: "My lord, what is the difference between this and a real break?

Du Shen shook his head and disagreed: "Isn't there still you who know the truth? As long as you support me, one day, I will come back." ”

"My lord," Ronald smiled wryly, "it can't be like this. It's likely to be self-defeating and ......"

"Needless to say," Du Shen said solemnly, "I've made up my mind. You just have to cooperate, or wait and see. You just have to consider the pros and cons from the side of the Shadow Keep. ”

Du Shen became more and more severe: "I will first state that if anyone obstructs or sabotages my actions. I'm not going to let him go. Now, you will quietly check your subordinates. Later, I will form a combat force. You assigned to me those men who were war-willed and restless. I guess I'll lead them out of the Shadowkeep soon. ”

"My lord," several wizards persuaded one after another, "your plan will have a bad impact. We ask that you discontinue the plan. Even if you insist that someone attract the hatred of the temple. Nor should you be in person. I'm willing to take your place!"

Du Shen shook his head, very resolute. He explained for a while, and began to forcibly assign tasks to everyone.
