Volume 13 Seals! A sigh from the Abyssal Gate! Chapter 69: Exchange
The second Chana spoke in the room, and his expression was indicative.
But Edgar used it, and his pace was much quicker than usual.
"Haven't the outsiders arrived yet?" said Adriman's frosty white eyebrows twitched slightly.
"They were ambushed on the road," Abner said with a very helpless expression, and said mockingly: "Actually, I have expected this for a long time, but until now even a single person has not reached the pre-designated place, and it seems that they are still overestimated."
Little "Merlin came to the people, this is nothing new. ”
Adriman's voice was as calm as ever, and his expression was very indifferent, as if no amount of shocking news could move him.
Abner snorted softly, enough to express his displeasure with the old power in the Mage's Guild.
Before this "hunt", the people who came from Merlin took it for granted that they should launch the "real attack" in order to take the credit for it, so as to prove once again that Merlin could lead the Mage to victory.
But out of the continent, for thousands of years, the mage who came out of Merlin has been rotten and rotten, and he can't even organize a "hunt", and Abner is extremely disgusted with this in his heart.
Aged and stiff," the mage sanctuary Adriman sighed, "Even without them, we must win this battle." ”
Abner pursed his lips and said, "I'm afraid you've never taken them into account, have you?" Adriman didn't say anything, just gently tapped the armrest with his hand.
Abner was very amused not to go on the subject, but said: "The news that Neorid has just arrived, because Merlin's men have not been available for a long time, he wants to ask the Holy See Guard of Landiston to intervene. ”
"Oh, what did Landiston say?" Abner shook his head and said, "There should be no problem, after all, Bishop Rantiston is here to help us, but there is a little situation in the middle of it, Adriman raised his eyelids slightly, and said in a deep voice, "What is the situation?" "Several mages attacked Bishop Landiston's guard in Warralburg, it seems that this is a targeted operation."
Abner shook his head, "There was a fourteenth-level paladin who was killed, and Adriman's brows tightened.
Abner may not be able to see it, but he can see that this is definitely not anything, a small situation, "A fourteenth-level paladin, this is not a small fish and shrimp, even if he is in front of the temple for a while, Ibsail is only this level, even if he is placed in the monks' guild, he is also a monk chief."
It is likely that this person has some important identity within the Holy See, but he has not said it.
He immediately felt that this matter was likely to even involve a struggle within the Holy See, and if it was not handled well, the mage might be asked to carry this black cauldron in the end, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
Abner was still saying, "Due to the lack of manpower, we can't get a reliable verification of the news over there, but it shouldn't be what our mages will do" Adriman waved his hand to stop him from continuing, and he said with a blank face. It doesn't matter if we did it anymore, it happened in the territory of our Mage Society, and it was arranged according to the ridiculous plan that little self-thought he could hide people's eyes, outside, I'm afraid that the world now knows that the people of Landiston killed an heir of the Metron family, so now that I think about it, isn't it reasonable for the Mage Society to retaliate?" "Yes, that's right. ”
Abner had the feeling of shooting himself in the foot, but he had another thought in his mind, maybe it was really a mage who would have tried to do something.
Edqiman groaned for a moment, and said solemnly, "What does Landiston say?" said Abner, "Bishop Landiston has claimed to pursue this matter, and if the mage does not give him a satisfactory explanation, he cannot guarantee how this matter will end up." ”
Adriman was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face actually relaxed, smiled slightly, and said: "This is to make conditions, he is not afraid to put forward conditions, as long as he is willing to put forward conditions, this matter will not be difficult to solve."
Adriman stood up and said, "Abner, you go in person, if Landiston proposes any conditions to satisfy him as much as possible, if he is willing to lead the guards up in person, even if it is too much, Abner wondered, "Didn't the mentor say that he is important to us and want to keep him?"
Adriman waved his hand and said: "The situation is different, now that a paladin has lost here, the Holy See will never allow another bishop, unless they don't want to save their reputation, they will do everything they can to keep Landiston, at least nothing will happen to him here, we don't need to worry about anything else."
What I'm worried about now is that it will be difficult for the Holy See to lead the guards back to the center of the Holy See after knowing about this, so you can go as soon as possible Abner suddenly came to his senses, and then he hesitated for a moment, and said: "There is one more thing, it is about the vice president, "What? Our vice president, is he still unwilling to go?"
Abner said helplessly: "Mr. Vice President said that he came in a hurry all the way without much rest, and we are here to take care of it, but he will leave as soon as it is dawn, and he said that it is safer to rest here." ”
Adriman sighed softly, and he could see the darkness in the hearts of these people clearly.
The high pressure of the Monks Guild wanted him to leave the temple.
But they didn't have the courage to stop themselves, so they sent the vice president of the cup to make their position clear, and in the final analysis, they still didn't want them to meddle in the situation on the mainland.
When dawn comes, I'm afraid that the battle will already be decided, and then I will have to make a move?" ”
Abner bowed and slowly exited the room, in his opinion, this is not a big deal, resting by the side of a king and a strong man, I am afraid that it is the vice president of the Monks who should be more worried, right?
"Forgive my presumptuousness, Bishop Lantiston, and you know exactly why I'm here. ”
Abner did not have the arrogant posture and complicated etiquette of ordinary mages, and as soon as he came to the hall, he said his intentions: "What kind of conditions do you need to be willing to help our mage club?" "Master Abner, please be seated." ”
Luo Lan smiled and pointed to the seat next to him, "But shouldn't we solve another thing first?" "Another thing?" Abner was stunned, and then immediately understood what Luo Lan meant.
He said in a deep voice, "I thought that these two things were one thing, and as long as you agreed to help us, it also showed that the assassination had nothing to do with the Mage Guild. ”
"That's right," Luo Lan smiled and said, "But you seem to have overlooked one thing. ”
"What's the matter?" Luo Lan leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and said unhurriedly: "I am not only the bishop of the Holy See, but also the president of the Monks' Society.
News, they seem to want me to rescue the mages from Merlin, who are said to be under a very violent attack. ”
"What a bullshit attack!" Abner scolded, his expression so disdainful of the term Merlin that he almost spat out his displeasure.
Luo Lan showed a slightly surprised look, this white-haired young man is really interesting, he is not as old-fashioned as other mages at all, no wonder some people say that he often criticizes the shortcomings of the mage association, and often makes some old mages with deep qualifications unable to get off the stage, but there is nothing they can do about him.
Luo Lan glanced at him and said slowly: "The meeting of the Monks' Council is close at hand, I wonder if Master Abner has any thoughts about the seat of the Monks?" Abner was stunned, he didn't expect this bishop to suddenly turn the topic to this.
May I ask what kind of conditions do you need to be willing to help our Mage Society?" Luo Lan smiled at him and said, "Master Abner is young and wise, and he has great vision, if you are the head monk, it must be a good thing for both the Mage Society and the Monk Association. ”
What he meant by that Abner's heart churned.
He did have the idea of becoming a chief monk in his heart, after all, after becoming a chief monk, it was not only a difference in status, but also a possibility to use this huge force and use resources that he would not normally have access to.
Although the Mage Guild seems to be huge, in fact, there are not many people who can really hold this position, usually they are old mages, with enough prestige and strength but often lack ability, and often in a position that is not embarrassing or embarrassing, Brother Olaser is a relatively outstanding one, but after the Dragon Slaying War, he was criticized, and many of Merlin's mages hoped that he could give up his position by himself, so that "more suitable" people could take over.
And Abner is a disciple of the French Emperor Adriman, this status is rather embarrassing, many people have been avoiding mentioning it, and there are even overt and covert obstruction and resistance, the monks' wariness of the king and the strong has always been no weaker than the council of the dead, and they are very unhappy that these people will put their hands in.
However, if it is supported by a powerful monk, or even the Holy See, then the outcome is likely to change.
But...... Luo Lan noticed that Abner's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again.
"I'm afraid I can't. ”
Abner smiled bitterly and shook his head, putting aside the thoughts of the higher-ups of the Monks' Guild, as long as he was still a disciple of the Venerable Emperor Adriman, then the old and stale quagmire of the Monks' Guild would sink his body deeply, and it would be difficult to pull out a foot.
Luo Lan took a deep look at him and said, "There are no absolutes in the world, if you want to get something, then it's best to give up something first." ”
"You mean," Abner's face changed.
"I didn't say anything, but with the wisdom of Master Abner, you should be able to understand what I mean," Luo Lan smiled meaningfully, "If Master Abner thinks it through, I would like to be your guide." ”
Abner understood that the other party's words were not only a promise to him, but also one of the conditions, just to see what valuable things he could come up with in exchange.
"Sow the seeds today, reap the fruits tomorrow" Luo Lan pushed a piece of parchment on the table in front of the other party and smiled, "This is all I need, Master Abner."
You just need to sign a word and you're good to go. ”
Abner picked it up and looked at it, his hand trembled slightly involuntarily, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "In exchange, this price is unexpectedly large." (To be continued), U
