282. Factions
Under the pressure of the Holy Order, the heavenly carriage rode away quickly.
In the car, Merlin was lying on the soft sofa paralyzed, he looked at the commotion in the outside world played on the magic screen in front of him, and asked Cynthia opposite a little speechlessly.
"Sister, is it necessary to be so high-profile?"
Merlin's cautious personality made Merlin not very accustomed to being the center of attention, and he didn't really like the arrogance of bombing the streets in a luxury car like now.
"Of course it's necessary."
On the other side, Cynthia was shaking her fingers in boredom, and under the manipulation of her magic power, a fruit that looked like an apple on the coffee table seemed to be peeled by an invisible paring knife, and the long peel was connected into a long line, and it was not broken at all.
After peeling the unknown fruit, the half-elf witch made a gesture of love to the white flesh, and the next moment the whole fruit seemed to be carved into the shape of a heart by an invisible carving knife.
Hearing her brother's question, Cynthia rolled her eyes, and while waving her hand to let the heart-shaped fruit fly in front of her brother, she casually picked up a piece of idle fruit flesh carved with a heart and put it in her mouth.
"Brother, you haven't been out much, so I don't know how bad some people outside are, the more low-key you are, the more people will trouble you, on the contrary, as long as you behave a little crazy and arrogant, those cheap bones will not dare to provoke you."
The juicy flesh exploded in her mouth, and the sweet fruity aroma made Cynthia's eyes narrow, as she explained to her brother.
"Uh, is that so?"
Merlin was a little surprised, he thought that the old lady from the family was already a sage, and there shouldn't be many guys who didn't have long eyes to dare to provoke her, but now listening to Cynthia's words, he didn't expect that there would be so many mysterious guys.
But in this way, Merlin can understand a little bit why Cynthia's reputation in the outside world is so terrifying and scary, probably because she deliberately created those notories.
Merlin reached out and took the heart-shaped fruit that had drifted in front of him, then opened his mouth and took a bite.
It's an apple-like fruit, but the taste and texture of the flesh are a bit similar to the cantaloupe of the previous life, sweet and juicy, and it seems to be full of magic, so I think it must be some kind of cherished fruit on the mysterious side.
It's a pity that Merlin in his human state can't absorb the powerful magic power in this fruit, he can only eat this precious treasure in the eyes of ordinary wizards as a snack, which is really a bit of a waste.
After taking two bites and tasting the taste, Merlin stopped, and he looked at the edge of the edge in front of him with two more mouthfuls of tooth marks, and then reached out and picked up the staff of the snake next to him.
The normal cane-sized snake staff began to shrink to the size of a scalpel, and the snake's tail became a sharp blade.
After weighing the feel of the snake knife in his hand a little, Merlin moved the knife like flying, and after a few flashes of knife light, the love disappeared, replaced by a delicate statue of a sister and brother holding hands.
Although it is carved from fruit, the details are so vivid that you can tell at first glance that it was made by a master.
Seeing Cynthia's eyes glowing at the fruit statue on the other side, Merlin smiled and handed over the small statue, while he himself took the leftovers from the carving to taste it.
"Then sister, do you have a lot of enemies here?"
Merlin suddenly thought that the place they were about to go to was the Wizarding Association, if it was according to what Cynthia just said, wouldn't there be a lot of guys in the Wizarding Association who didn't deal well with Cynthia?
"Well, I should say that they are basically enemies."
Cynthia nodded, corrected, and took the statue with affection, and then began to enchant this statue, after all, it was carved with spirit fruit as a material, and it could barely be regarded as a spiritual material used, this enchantment was simple, and the half-elf witch raised her hand to throw it away from a witchcraft that was stagnant in time and space.
The witchcraft she used to save the little snowman for Alice before is non-stop, it's just a simple time stop, it's just high-level witchcraft, and this space-time stagnation is a composite witchcraft of time and space, it's a standard forbidden spell witchcraft, and the spell effect is to freeze everything in the coverage into a space-time that stops forever, just like amber, so the thing sealed by this witchcraft is also called space-time amber.
It's just that space-time stagnation is a standard city-level witchcraft, because space-time is too unstable, and the more elaborate the operation, the more difficult it is, so a large-scale ban is actually much more difficult than a small-scale ban, and it is simply unheard of for Cynthia to accurately cover the witchcraft on a half-apple-sized statue like she is now.
At least Merlin was a little skeptical about the accuracy of the knowledge left by the original owner after reading it, and said that the minimum should cover half of the city? What is the realm of this ghost woman's sorcery attainments now?
"It's just a fruit, sister, you don't have to do this, isn't it good to eat it?"
For Cynthia's fuss, Merlin said a little angrily.
He was simply a professional disease in his previous life, but he didn't expect Cynthia to like it so much.
"Of course not, this is the first gift you gave me, brother, it's very memorable, and the last time my brother made a snowman for Alice, my sister asked you to make one for me, you haven't done it until today, and now it's hard to do it, of course I have to take good care of it."
Cynthia is very fond of this statue of her brother and sister, since the last time she saw the snowman that her brother built for Alice, she has been greedy for a long time, and now she finally got what she wanted, and this fruit statue is a plant attribute, she is going to go back to give life to these two little people and make them come to life.
"By the way, your sister's heartbeat value just now looks like you have 60 points, please keep up the good work."
The half-elf witch thought for a moment, then added.
Merlin: "......"
This sister is already in the late stage of brotherhood and can't be saved.
"Ahem, let's get back to the point, they're all enemies, sister, are you so popular? You're a sage too, don't you have a private team in the Wizarding Guild or something? โ
Merlin asked, a little strangely.
To be honest, he was more or less mentally prepared for this ghost woman's popularity and lack of friends, but he never thought that it would be so bad, which is basically equivalent to saying that he is an empty and famous commander of the light pole.
In this regard, Cynthia spread her hands with some grievances.
"I didn't plan to be a sage, it was those guys who came to me to be a sage, I happened to be perfect at the time, I wanted to find a name to settle down, I just saw that this sage was quite fun, so I took it."
"And those guys have always treated me like a thief, basically except for the big things that can't be hidden. The others are too lazy to consult with me, and I just happen to be too lazy to take the initiative to find something to do. โ
"I didn't plan to take care of things, so naturally I didn't bother to pull up a group of people or something, how tired it is."
Merlin: "....."
Damn, you are a real idler, then you are embarrassed to scold me every day for salting fish, I think you are more salted than me.
He really wanted to spray Cynthia like this, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it, after all, Cynthia is strong, and the strong have capricious capital, even if she is also fishing all day long, Cynthia can only be called elegant and does not like power.
Alas, the same salted fish, he can only be regarded as the king of carp, and Cynthia is the lord of the barrakawa.
ๅฝณ้บๅฃๅทด....
Merlin mentally sorted through the memories of the original owner and found some descriptions of the Wizarding Guild.
As one of the largest organizations on the mysterious side, and also the official organization of wizards, the wizarding association is naturally full of factions, and it is impossible for everyone to have one mind in this kind of large organization, even the templar churches that seem to be more united because of their common beliefs cannot do that kind of complete unity from top to bottom, and they also have factions similar to the God of War faction and the Steam Mechanic God Cult.
The internal faction of the Wizarding Association is mainly divided into two factions, that is, the sage faction and the neutral faction, of which the sage faction can be divided into seven sub-factions, which are subordinate to the seven sages.
The sage faction is actually quite easy to understand, after all, the sages are all bigwigs, apprentices, disciples, and a lot of school heirs, and they will also let some more trusted people enter the wizarding association to do things for them, and the seven sages intervene together, so naturally seven factions will be formed, and then tear up or something every day.
After all, the Wizard Association cannot all be composed of sages, and it has long been established, and the association stipulates that the members sent in by the sages cannot exceed half of the total members, and the remaining half are recruited from the entire mysterious side, including powerful idle wizards, outstanding personnel from major wizard families, and so on.
In short, the sage faction and the neutral faction check and balance each other, and the seven small factions within the sage faction check and balance each other, which makes the wizarding association quite fair and just most of the time, and the structural system is relatively stable.
As a sage, Cynthia has the right to form her own faction, but this guy is too lazy to work because he is full of thoughts about the benefits of fishing for nothing, so he has been delayed until today.
"Don't worry, brother, it's just to approve the application of a club, and it's just a matter of my words, I still have this right."
Seeing her brother's somewhat speechless expression, Cynthia also said with some embarrassment.
At this moment, she was also a little embarrassed, after all, she disliked her brother every day for a while, and she had no ambitions or anything, but now the fact that she is also a fisher is so exposed, and her majesty as a sister has suffered a major blow.
No, I have to find a way to save my sister's majesty, or she won't be able to justify her if I ask my brother to fight a little more in the future.
Well, there it is.
The half-elf witch's eyes rolled twice, and in the blink of an eye, a brilliant plan came to mind.
"Brother, as my sister's most trusted person, the responsibility of building Cynthia's faction will be handed over to you, I will let the Witch House cooperate with you, anyway, you are now the leader of the nominal Witch House."
She patted her brother on the shoulder and said with a look of trust.
Merlin is wearing this Merlin now. Grace, Sarina's vest is indeed the identity of the second-generation leader of the witch house that Cynthia has adopted, and the substitute girl has been running for many years.
Oh, by the way, this vest seems to be nominally a little white face raised by Cynthia.
"If you give me less, I'm too lazy to participate in these things? Do your own thing. โ
For the unscrupulous sister's dumping behavior, Merlin naturally couldn't accept it obediently, forming a faction, and then intriguing with people or something was very troublesome, so he didn't bother to do it.
"But brother, your future club is here, your club is my relationship, whether you want it or not, in the eyes of the wizarding association, your club belongs to my faction, oh, I have been fishing for many years, I suddenly established this club, what do you think others will think, there is another person who shares the cake, what do you say the guys from other factions will treat you?"
Cynthia ruthlessly broke Merlin's lazy dream, she looked like a sister and I didn't care.
"Those guys definitely don't dare to come to me to trouble me directly, but as long as the direct contradiction between the factions and the factions doesn't go too far, the sage is not good at interfering casually, I can take care of your brother for a while, but I can't watch you all the time (in fact, I can), brother, do you want to be found fault in three days in the future? That seems to be more troublesome, so instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to take the initiative in a high-profile way. โ
The half-elf witch was still talking like a demon at this moment, like a true demon like Merlin, whispering to the devil.
Merlin was silent for a moment.
"Could it be that if I keep a low profile, someone will come to trouble me?"
He also wanted to save himself again.
"Useless brother, as I said before, low-key forbearance can't make those jackals show mercy, if you want to live a quiet life, you must show your fangs properly."
Once again, Cynthia punctured Merlin's illusions.
"I was too lazy to form a faction before, not only because I was lazy, but also because my identity was relatively special, and I and the witch's house and even the current Aldrich all represented the identity of the witch, and the witch race has always been embarrassed by the identity of the mysterious side."
"You must know that those ancient wizard families have always been proud of their noble bloodline, they are shouting about pure-blood families every day, and they seem to care more about bloodline than blood clans, and for those pure-bloods, we witches have always been a thorn in their side."
