Early the next morning, in the common room of the central spire, four tower masters, including Zhang Cheng, and several high-ranking mages with the same status as the tower masters, were gathered around a round table.

In the middle of the table was nothing else, but the famous artifact, the Shattered Crystal.

Obviously, they are going to vote today on who will lead the Arcane Brotherhood next, in order to put an end to this dangerous power struggle for the time being.

Of course, no one knew that two people in the room had secretly made an agreement the previous night, let alone that a larger conspiracy hung over the heads of each of the participants.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since yesterday's vote did not produce results, and with the return of the Lord of the North Tower, I propose that a second round of voting be held to elect a leader as soon as possible, otherwise it is likely to give the enemy an opportunity. Delta was the first to suggest with a smile on his face.

Compared to the last time he was angry and embarrassed, he looked extra confident today, and from time to time he didn't forget to sweep the corner of his eye over a woman with a face very similar to a snake.

The latter, no doubt aware of this provocation, sneered and asked, "Enemy?" I am not sure if the enemy is coming from outside, or from inside the spire. Honorable Lord of the East Tower, do you think it's wise to have one of us who gave the Shattered Crystal to Aklem Gris?"

"Oh, dear Lord of Sita, it is because of this that I am more willing to trust him. After all, he didn't hesitate to abandon a powerful artifact, and he didn't stretch out his hand anywhere else except to manage the North Tower. Not to be outdone, Delta replied.

Many people may think that this woman's snake-like face is natural, but he knows very well that the other party was due to an accident when trying to integrate the snake man's blood into himself, which led to a series of chain reactions.

Yaru Taras, who is currently known to the outside world as the "snake-faced" Lord of Sita, not only has a lifespan as long as a snake man, and a powerful magical talent, but also can spew deadly venom from his back teeth, making him a rather difficult opponent.

In fact, excluding Zhang Cheng, an outsider, the other three tower masters all had a higher spell casting level than Aklem Gris, so they had the courage to launch this rebellion.

"Oh, do you think so?" said Yaru Taras, glaring at his friend with reptilian eyes.

However, it is a pity that several other people who have long sensed the bad atmosphere have chosen to remain silent, and did not stand up against it as she expected.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth to show a playful smile, gently tapped the table with his right index finger, and only spoke after a full minute: "I know that you have always been quite wary and wary of me.

But don't forget, I made it clear that I was here to learn magic, not to engage in these frivolous power struggles.

In fact, if it weren't for the late night visit of the Lord of the East Tower yesterday, I wouldn't be here today.

In case you didn't know, when Achillm Gris was wounded and fled, the Harpermen's League's spies hiding in Luskan had already sent the news.

It won't be long before Waterdeep and Neverfall will be playing a role in striking a blow to the city's trade and weakening our proud pirate fleet.

Think about it, if Luskan decays, what can be gained even if he gains supremacy?

So, first of all, we need to unite for a while to deal with the attack of the so-called good people.

Don't feel that war is far away from us, on the contrary, it is closer to us now than ever......"

"What?!, you mean Waterdeep will declare war on us?" a high-ranking mage of no small rank stood up abruptly, his face full of shock.

There's no way not to be shocked, anyone who has lived in Luskan for a long time knows that Waterdeep is like a spell that sticks to the head of Luskan's ruler.

Every external expansion, every conspiracy action, in the end, ushered in the intervention of the lords of Waterdeep, it can be said that the two sides fought openly and secretly no less than dozens of times, and none of them were won by Luskan.

For the Arcane Brotherhood, which rules Luskan, Waterdeep is like the final boss hanging over the head of the game, and they are about to be beaten out of their hearts.

"Hmph, or what do you think I'm sitting here for? We must unite and cut off the spies planted around by the Harper's Alliance, and make sure they don't get even the slightest bit of information. On top of that, we must also be prepared for war, especially after a heroic pirate captain successfully ransacked the port area of Neverwinter. Zhang Chengyi hinted with deep taste.

In order to provoke the hostility of these people to the Harpist Alliance, he can be said to have made sufficient preparations, especially for Ian to raid Winterfell, which definitely touched the most sensitive nerves of Waterdeep.

Usually, the lords of Waterdeep don't care too much about the small movements of the Luskan pirates, but now, they are afraid that they will desperately collect the movements of the pirates to prevent themselves from being attacked by the ruthless.

And this kind of intelligence gathering is 100% naked provocation in the eyes of the Arcane Brotherhood.

Therefore, as long as both sides start to pay attention to each other's movements, fierce fights will be inevitable......

"Damn, you're right! We have to teach Waterdeep a lesson in the making, or they're going to get an inch. Another High Mage stood up and let out an angry roar.

"That's exactly what I'm saying! We must stop internal friction and unite with the outside world! Vote now, the one with the highest number of votes will be the leader of the Arcane Brotherhood. I swear that whoever is elected, the power in your hands will not be diminished. Deltagarh knew that the time was ripe and immediately struck while the iron was hot.

After all, he is not an idiot, and he knows very well that no one here wants to go back to the era of Aklem Gris, let alone have his own life in the hands of another person, so it is necessary to make compromises.

"Vote!"

"Vote!"

"Agreed!"

"I think this voting model should be retained, and whenever there is a need to make a big decision, it must be voted on by senior members. ”

......

For a moment, the guarantee of the Lord of the East Tower was like a hammer that broke the shackles, and it instantly resonated with many people.

Regardless, the threat of Waterdeep is real, no one wants to dominate a decaying city, and Luskan must continue to expand until he defeats all enemies in the north that threaten his position.

Due to the small number of people, the results of the vote came out quickly.

Not surprisingly, Delta was elected the supreme leader of the Arcane Brotherhood by a narrow margin of one vote, and was also the master of the Shattered Crystal.

But the vacant Lord of the East Tower was given to a high-ranking mage of the rival faction to maintain a weak balance of power.
