The Empire State Building, 350 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, is a famous tourist attraction in New York, and on a clear day, visitors can look out over the five states from the 102nd and 86th floors.

However, probably no one would have imagined that this is also the headquarters of the Wizarding Society, the largest Dark World Council in North America. At 12 o'clock in the night, Alfred put on his hooded cloak and wore the Wizards' emblem on his chest, an inverse pentagram brooch with an eye in the middle, and walked out of his room and down the hallway toward the chamber. Along the way, he saw a number of people dressed in the same attire as him come out of their rooms, their heads covered by a wide canopy that could be identified except for their height.

Came to the conference hall, which was a circular room with a huge wizarding logo carved into the marble floor. A few small lamps on the walls around the hall provide a faint source of light for the hall. On one side of the hall is a three-step platform with three high-backed chairs, and only the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker have the right to sit down in the entire conference hall.

It didn't take long for the hall to stop entering, and the door slowly closed. Alfred counted, 62 people, there should be at least one councillor in each state, such a huge organization, why haven't he paid attention to it. Having said that, before meeting Li and the others, he had been studying necromancy in a daze, and indeed he had never paid attention to these things, and he had almost no thoughts and goals of his own except for following orders.

But now it's different, Alfred looked up at the three chairs in the stand, though I can't overthrow or break away from this organization, at least not to make it easy for you. Hmph, your so-called protection is nothing but enslavement and instruction in disguise, the members of the same organization don't even know who they are with each other, what's so good about this kind of ghost life, can't you have friends if you study witchcraft or necromancy, and you are still planning to plot my only wealth, my Book of the Dead, then, there is nothing to say between us.

It wasn't long before four men came out of the side door, also wearing wide cloaks, except that, unlike the councillors, the three leaders had a necklace with a logo hanging from their chests, and the tall man in the middle had a black cane carved into his hand.

The three men walked to their seats and sat down, and the man at the head tapped his cane on the ground, and a majestic voice came from the canopy: "The meeting begins." ”

"First of all, I would like to inform you of one thing. Our node in Los Angeles City was unplugged, and it was found that someone from the Van Helsing family of witchers from the European continent did it. ”

"Sss There was a gasp from among the councillors, and it seemed that most of them were impressed by the name.

The Speaker tapped his cane again, bringing calm back to the chamber.

"Don't be afraid, the council already has a plan to deal with it, and this is to make you vigilant and stop being as careless as the legislators in Los Angeles, after all, if it wasn't for a sneak attack, I believe every one of our legislators has the strength to kill him." We are afraid of him only because of his hidden powers, so if you are careful, nothing will happen, and if any area finds his traces, please notify the Council immediately, and the Council will do its best to organize the men to hunt him down. ”

The speaker still has a level, and when this statement was spoken, many members nodded and regained their confidence.

"Next, this is the new councillor, who will be responsible for the establishment of the new node in Los Angeles. Of course, for the construction of new nodes, the council decided to increase the profits of other nodes in the next six months, do you have any opinions? ”

"This is impossible, the overhead of our Miami node is very large, and now it is just to maintain a balance, if it increases the profit we pay, what will we eat?" A gruff voice came from the cloak of a councillor of not too tall stature.

"Are there any other nodes that oppose it?" The Speaker did not answer his words, but continued to ask questions.

"The Houston node is against! Texas is an agricultural state, and there are still three nodes in the zài, which is not fair. ”

"The Dallas node is against it."

"The San Antonio node is against."

"The Philadelphia node is against it."

"The San Francisco node is against it."

Alfred looked at it coldly, and the fact that these opposition nodes were all wealthy cities showed that these councillors had a good understanding of self-interest. And what made the old mage disdainful was that they really thought that the sinister speaker was a vegetarian? Although our old mage thinks with his preconceived ideas, it is quite true.

Immediately, the Speaker responded to the opposition of the parliamentarians, "Well, all of the above nodes do have their own difficulties. I think it comes down to too few people to develop it. In this way, the profits from the above nodes will not increase, but the council will appoint a number of deputies to assist you in your work. ”

"What? How is this possible? ”

"It's just that there's never been such a precedent."

Now the pot is boiling, and the previous opposition to the parliamentarians complained and opposed louder than just now.

This time, the speaker didn't talk nonsense with them, a pair of red lights flashed in his cloak, the eyes of the snake on the top of the cane also lit up, the sign on the ground also emitted a faint blue light, and the whole hall was filled with a terrifying energy, and all the troublesome councillors closed their mouths and trembled under this energy.

"Okay, no one objects, just do what I say." The Speaker paused for his cane, and the energy vanished without a trace, and the members did not dare to make a sound again.

"One more thing to inform you is that the Chicago node will also start preparations at the same time, and the councilors of the other nodes will pay attention to cooperate with the preparations of the council."

The councillors below began to talk again, "Someone is going to die again?" "yes, the last time someone died was 50 years ago, right?" ……

Alfred couldn't help but look worse when he heard these discussions, damn, I'm really a pig, I forgot the name of the parliamentary restricted area in Chicago 50 years ago, and volunteered to help the speaker find the way, okay, you wait, the speaker will settle this account with you sooner or later. I have to say that Alfred's associative ability has greatly improved since accepting the memories that Lee injected into him, although I don't know if he thinks the truth, at least his relationship with the wizarding guild is getting farther and farther away.

"Alright, adjourn, the Detroit Node Councillors come in with us." After saying that, the three speakers walked into the side door.

Alfred followed in, clearly feeling the members of parliament behind him looking at his back with funeral eyes.
