Entering the side hall, the three speakers took off the hats on their cloaks, and the speakers at the head looked like the real speakers of the U.S. government, with a shaved face and a gentle expression, and his gestures were full of gentlemanly nobility, and no one would ever associate him with the leader of the dark organization when he saw him for the first time.

The deputy speaker beside him always had a smile on his chubby face, and he looked like a priest who baptized babies in the church. However, Alfred knew that more than half of the ideas of the Wizarding Society came from this smiling fat man, who was the real brain of the Wizarding Society. The other deputy speaker was unexpectedly a woman, but only her cold expression was more like a person in a high position.

"Sit down, Brother Alfred." The Speaker gestured kindly to the chair next to him. The old mage saluted the three speakers and sat down.

"Brother Alfred, you're the only one of us to have made it out of Chicago, and we'd like to hear your thoughts on the establishment of the Chicago Node this time."

The old mage lowered his head and thought for a while, then pretended to be solemn and said, "First of all, I have to apologize to you, I thought about the situation I reported to you last time, and something is not quite right. ”

The Speaker raised his hand to him and motioned for him to continue.

"The little thug told me that he saw an old man he had never seen suddenly fly and smash the undead stone with a sword, this incident was too coincidental, how could it be that the undead stone was found just after it was taken out and it didn't work, and he was still a passerby. What he said he hadn't seen was also possible that the old man basically didn't show up, so he didn't see it, which doesn't mean that the old man wasn't a local. ”

The Speaker nodded, earning his words.

"One more reason why I was able to come back safely. Personally, I think it's because I didn't show dark magic in Chicago, and even though those of us who have magic or magic can perceive a hundred times more than ordinary people, we can't control the whole city. So, I think the old man was guarding Chicago, and there was something or people that he valued. So, if we just pass by, we won't trigger his attack, and when we plan to set up a node there or cast a massive dark spell, we will have a good chance of attracting his attack. I think that's why our council hasn't been able to get a foothold in Chicago before. So, I don't think it's appropriate for us to set up nodes there too soon without getting enough information. ”

The Speaker and the two Deputy Speakers looked at each other, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "My dear Brother Alfred, your opinion is very consistent with our guess. So I'm afraid that's the truth of the matter, and that old man, we are not completely sure that we will be able to take him down. But it doesn't matter, thanks to our observations, you are one of the councillors who can be trusted by the council, so we don't mind giving you an account. Recently, a group of hidden forces we have trained can finally be used, so if we can find out the true strength of this old man, we can mobilize more powerful forces from headquarters to help us complete the layout of the whole United States. ”

Hidden power? It seems that the wizard will always be training against Li's elders, so this batch of manpower must be targeted, no, I have to find a way to delay and sue Li so that they can be prepared.

Looking at Alfred's surprised expression, the three speakers were very satisfied, and a proper display of strength was also one of the means to maintain the stability of the organization.

"Brother Alfred, according to your past merits and today's expression of loyalty to the Order. We have unanimously decided to establish five regions on the original nodes from today, and you, the honorable Alfred. Mr. Mueller will be the head of the Northeast Region, which will have nodes in nine states: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri. Here is your power of attorney and medal, please keep it. ”

From the table next to him, the Speaker picked up a roll of parchment tied with silk ribbons and a necklace slightly smaller than the one worn by the Speakers.

Alfred stood up, bent down, and respectfully took the two things from the Speaker's hand.

The old mage put the things into the cloak and asked sincerely in a worried tone, "Then what is my first priority, Sir?" ”

The speaker was very satisfied with the importance that the old mage attached to his work, and said with a pleasant face: "Don't worry, Alfred, your priority now is to integrate the region you are responsible for, allocate resources and manpower, and prepare for the next step of infiltration into Chicago. As the head of the front line, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders, and I hope you can withstand the pressure to share more for the council. ”

"And I think that after the completion of the node layout of the entire United States, we can add one or two more seats to the vice speaker, what do you think?" Edward, the male deputy speaker who has not spoken, is a sweet date with one mouth.

"Well, Deputy Speaker Edward's proposal is very constructive, and I think there is a great possibility that it will be realized." The old speaker pretended to agree.

The other Deputy Speaker, Ms. Beladona, looked at him with cold eyes and did not say a word. The old mage understood that the deputy speaker in charge of internal review usually said that someone was going to be unlucky, and most of them were in danger of losing their lives.

This typical American carrot and stick pattern made the old mage scoff, but he still pretended to be grateful to Dade and vowed to give all his power and even his life for the cause of the council.

After sending the old mage out, the three Speakers sat down again, and the Speakers asked Deputy Speaker Edward, "How is your observation?" ”

"He was still quite shocked by our hidden strength, but he didn't have much emotion when he was promoted to the head of the region and heard the temptation of the deputy speaker."

Deputy Speaker Beladona, who had been silent, spoke: "Alfred has always been an academic necromancer, I'm afraid that power doesn't bring him too much attraction, it's better to give him some precious real materials or books and notes of the necromancer." ”

The Speaker nodded, "Okay, I'll let William keep an eye on it when I get back." This kind of academic person is loyal and reliable, and he is not compromised in the execution of orders. Later regional leaders can consider this aspect of parliamentarians. ”

Edward nodded in agreement, "However, it is better to supplement it with some nimble deputies, so that the task will be a little more efficient." ”

"Loyalty is more important than efficiency, and people with flexible minds tend to have more eyes." Beladonna coldly objected to this.

"Stupid people will waste a lot of our time." Edward tried to analyze the pros and cons with the Speaker, but before he could finish speaking, Beradonna interrupted him, "Does time mean anything to us?" On the contrary, a betrayal hurts us even more. Looking at the cold eyes of the Speaker, Edward closed his mouth.

"Okay, let's focus on loyalty. I will explain the efficiency issue to Headquarters. The Speaker made a final summary. The three of them left the side hall separately, and Edward walked last, his eyes fixed on the back of the female speaker, and the resentment on his face made people shudder. However, as a wise man, he will not retaliate so easily, he will only bury his resentment deep in his heart, waiting for the right opportunity.
