Chapter Ninety-Seven: Conflict
"Archon Lombagan, the statute of the Levitation Academy's Rope Society has been handed over to you. ”
"Okay, put it on my desk. Lombagan nodded.
After the person who delivered the documents left, Lombagan turned his head to look into the darkness of his office and said, "The people from the Holy See should have entered, right?"
The mysterious man in the robe in the dark walked out, holding a book in his hand: "It's arranged, this year's rope stop will definitely be interesting, hehe...... Hahaha. ”
A gloomy and hoarse laugh swirled through the small room—and then the disgusting laughter came to an abrupt end like a crowing rooster choked by the neck.
A rag-like corpse fell down the high window of the wall onto Lombagan's desk.
Smack. The corners of Lombagan's mouth twitched a few times.
It was one of the elders of their family, who had been sent to have Abaylou attend a meeting on the rope stopping. Lombagan did instruct him to give Abay a dismount, but he didn't expect to come back with a corpse.
This incident was so contrary to common sense that Lombagan once thought that his elder was assassinated and then framed by Abay, so he did not believe in the name of killing God. Where is someone who is so abnormal that they kill people because of provocation?
The consuls in the greenhouse would not have understood the bloody storm that Abaylou and the sages had experienced, otherwise they would not have allowed the Holy See to infiltrate Hugo because of the small profits promised by the Holy See, and even contributed to the infiltration of the Holy See behind the scenes.
One thing is obvious, he angered Abaylou.
"It was accurate. Abay looked into the air and saw the body of the magician smashed into the consul's house. He didn't care if the Lombbagan was in it or not, of course, if it happened to be smashed in front of him, Abaylou would have laughed.
When Abay Lou entered the house on the flying carpet, two flying soldiers appeared in the air, one on a staff and the other standing out of thin air, but without exception, they were both magicians. One of the flying mages whistled: "No air here, please remove flying props." ”
Lily tugged at the corner of Abaylou's coat with a worried look.
"I'm not a murderer, so I'm not going to have a conflict here. Abaylou honestly parked the flying carpet on the ground and handed it over to the flying soldiers for safekeeping. However, his words were half filtered in Lily's mind, and probably only "there will be no conflict here". Obviously, just now, he killed someone casually.
Pedestrians hurried by, and the amplified sweet female voice repeated tirelessly, "There are still five minutes before the rope stop meeting." ”
The moment Abaylou took Lily's hand and walked into the council, Lily felt that the bustling atmosphere she had heard outside had suddenly calmed down, and the air had become a little heavier.
Probably not a delusion, right? Lily saw Abay Lou wave his hand a few times, and the atmosphere became warm again.
"Teacher, you're here. Shamasa put her arm around Abaylou's other arm and said affectionately, "I have left you a place." ”
There is little difference between the council and the terrestrial lecture hall, which fan-shaped around the middle podium. Lombagan walked down the aisle from the aisle to Abaylou's side with a dark face, and when he saw Abaylou's meaningful smile, his face turned straight blue.
"Hehehe. Abaylou laughed mockingly, knowing that the corpse had smashed in front of Lombaghan.
Lombargan threw a look of self-professed majesty, trying to make Abaylou recognize his current situation, but in exchange for the back of his head that Abaylou ignored.
"I'm going to make him pay. Lombard gritted his teeth angrily. He did not have an overly hateful view of Abays, but as a close person of the Holy See, he was destined to be inseparable from him.
"Stupid guys are always naïve to think they can sit back and relax, which is disgusting. Abaylou said.
"That's true. Shamasa agreed.
Lily shook her head and observed the people seated, in addition to the important members of various countries, there were actually people of other races! Lily grew up around the sapphire from small to large, and almost never saw the real elven race, or the wild beast race and the heroic dwarf, except for these races, which accounted for the majority of the race, there were only some representatives of the small race.
Especially the true elves that Lily has always longed for.
She had only seen elves in cages, and the sapphire slave traders had said that "elves in cages are elves who can communicate". Lily, the elf in the cage, had seen it, and it was an elf who had lost something, and it was not a real elf.
Even if she had saved the captured elves a few times with compassion, the escaped elves were quickly captured and had an even more tragic fate.
Until one of the elves scolded her in despair: "You shouldn't save me." After this, Lily realized that she could not change anything herself, and stopped the so-called rescue.
That would only satisfy herself.
As soon as the rope stop meeting began, the whole hall fell silent. Even a race like the orcs sit upright, maintaining human etiquette.
Although Lombagan is the consul, he is not the first person to speak in the rope club, and he is not qualified to play.
On the scene was an old man who was not good-looking, ordinary magic robes, ordinary staffs, and ordinary books, all too ordinary together. It's the kind of person who can't see anything special when he walks in the crowd, and the thousands of people present are not stupid, once you try to decipher the old magician's aura, you will definitely be inverted by his endless magic power, except for the feeling of vomiting, you will be left with deep fear.
He is the only dean of the Floating Academy, the "Great Sage" Antonidas, an old monster who has lived for more than five hundred years.
Antonidas smoothed his beard and looked at Abaylou a few times, and the two nodded to each other, no longer looking at each other.
"We warmly welcome everyone who came to the venue, and thank you for the thin noodles you have given to you. Antonidas said with the attitude of an elder, and to be honest, he lived longer than the average elf.
"It's a cliché, and I still have to talk about the meaning of the rope stop. "Antonidas is well aware of his role, the real core doesn't need him to play, he just shows his face as Hugo.
"When the Eight Sages were still alive, they got together every two years to decide something, at first in the way that the minority obeyed the majority, and over time most people realized that it was not fair for the minority to obey the majority—and so the predecessor of the Rope Stopping Society appeared, and that was the rule of a rope, similar to using magic tug-of-war, and whoever could achieve a more outstanding victory with his method obeyed him. ”
Antonidas babbled a lot on and on, and finally came to an end: "The final rope will extend to a variety of rope stops, including battles, knowledge, sports, and inventions, and I hope that everyone will uphold the principle of mutual respect to carry out our biennial rope stopping." ”
Abailou yawned and said impolitely: "People are really old, and even the great sages can't get rid of the problem of talking too much." ”
Although he put on a lazy and lazy appearance, after Lombagan stepped into power, Abaylou's eyes were shining.
"Business is coming. ”
Abaylou grabbed Lily's hand to prevent her from being attacked. Lombaghan's gaze was fixed on Abaylou.
He said: "Just now, my right-hand man Kang died. ”
There was an uproar down there.
Kang is an important political dignitary, and he also has a respected reputation in the Floating Academy, how can he say that he will die if he has good combat ability?
Abaylou knew that the conflict was about to begin.
