Chapter 1551: Declaring War (No Owner 3 is so fun)
After the red ponytail declares war on the clock tower on behalf of the Thousand Worlds Tree, the entire clock tower is almost mad.
In particular, the aristocratic faction represented by the Euryface clan of the Advent Branch even threatened to completely erase the Thousand Worlds Tree from this world.
It's no wonder that the aristocratic faction is so angry, in the previous Holy Grail War, the Thousand Circles Tree had already blatantly fought against the Magic Association once, but the result at that time could be regarded as a defeat for both sides. Since the news was blocked by the Thousand Worlds Tree, the Magic Association didn't know if the Holy Grail War was successful, of course, according to their thoughts, the Thousand Worlds Tree must have failed.
And the Magic Association also suffered heavy losses at that time, and the magicians sent to participate in the Holy Grail War were all wiped out, and they were also targeted, so that the Magic Association was a little disgraced for a long time later.
This had already made the high-level of the Magic Association extremely angry, but this time, the Thousand Worlds Tree actually officially declared war, and even denied the sorrow of the magicians for centuries, calling it a lie spread by the high-level of the Magic Association in order to control the magic world!
In the eyes of the Magic Association, this Thousand Worlds Tree is simply reversed!!
They also discussed sending magicians to the Far East to completely exterminate the Thousand Worlds Tree, but as soon as those people arrived, they were directly sent back to their hometown by the Heroic Spirit to get married, which also made the Magic Association more and more angry, but they were helpless.
Lenies, who saw all this in her eyes, was also very emotional, the magic association regarded it as an important thing, and it was worthless to the Thousand Worlds Tree. Poor until now, the magicians of the Magic Association still don't understand what they are fighting against......... No, it's normal for them not to understand, after all, even Rhaenys herself, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, wouldn't have believed it.
So Lyenys didn't say anything, just silently made her own preparations——— what to do, Fang Zheng didn't give an opinion, what Lyenys said is also the patriarch of a family, she should know what to do very well.
However, in comparison, the Animsfia are a little more free-spirited, because they are already sparse in number, and it is also the norm to live in the mountains for a long time without going out. I'm afraid that the Animsfia clan will all move to the immigration ship, and the Magic Society will not find out. And Ermelo does not have such an advantage, their basic market is in London, Sly. Therefore, even the slightest wind and grass may attract the attention of the Magic Association.
Of course, if the advantage of the Ermelo clan is that there are fewer people than Animsfia, although the Ermelo clan is a big family, but on the side of Lenies, there are only a handful of people, for Lenies, as long as you bring these few people, the rest of the people will live or die......... It's not within her care.
All she had to do was wait.
At this moment, the Magic Association is still angry about the matter of the Thousand Worlds Tree, and the monarchs of each family have begun to coordinate and communicate with each other in private, discussing with each other how to deal with the Thousand Worlds Tree and the redevelopment of the Great Labyrinth in London.
However, out of their sight, a large net is unfolding.
And the kind that is in full swing.
On April 5th, the game "Duel City" based on "Duel City" was launched and sold globally. From Asia to Europe to North America, and even Africa can see the sound of this card game.
Three months after the card was released, Suoqing Entertainment, the creator of the "Duel City" card, announced that it would hold a global dueling tournament in which the top 10 finishers in the national region would receive $50,000 to $100,000 in prize money, and the top five in the continental tournament would receive $100,000 to $500,000 in prize money.
And in the final World Finals, the winner will receive a prize fund of up to one million dollars!
This suddenly detonated the whole world!
All of a sudden, lured by high bonuses, both those who already like games, or those who have little interest in games, but want to make money, have joined in one after another. After all, the threshold for this kind of competition is very low, you only need to spend a little money to buy a card pack, and then form a card deck to participate.
Not to mention, the bonuses are quite substantial!
Even if you only finish in the lowest city division, if you finish in the top 10, you will also receive a prize of $1,000. For many people, this is much higher than buying a lottery ticket!
As for card packs, it's only a dollar a pack, even in Southeast Asia it's cheap, and in developed countries it's even cheaper, some people can get a deck for ten dollars if they're lucky, and if they're willing to spend a hundred dollars, then it's not a problem.
A hundred dollar deck, with the potential to earn a minimum of ten times, is enough to drive people crazy.
The so-called reward must be brave, and soon, this game also swept the whole world in the shortest possible time. Of course, it's not that no one is trying to make their own rare cards, but Founder has long expected this, and in fact all cards use banknote-like anti-counterfeiting technology, and it is not easy to forge these cards. And at the suggestion of Fangzheng, Suoqing Entertainment has also joined forces with police around the world to combat counterfeiting——— as long as it is a problem that can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
And this is the reason for coming up with high bonuses. Because the mysterious nature of magic is that it is not known, it is enough to let others know, and it doesn't matter if they like it or not. In order to get a high prize money, each participant naturally needs to know the effect, function and record of each card——— which is equivalent to knowing the truth of magic invisibly.
For Founder, that's enough.
Of course, this is a large sum of money, but Founder doesn't care, he deducted all this money from the FBI's account, and after deducting all the FBI money, Founder has continuously used all the funds of the CIA and NASA to hold the competition. At the moment, they are also very annoyed, and they are tracking down who did it, but ......... It's better that they can't be traced.
Otherwise, Washington will turn into a sea of fire.
Ironically, even though this has been in full swing all over the world, the Magic Society still knows nothing about it. In fact, many magicians of the Twelve Families have discovered the problem, and many magicians of the Twelve Families have found that the magic effect they release does not seem to be as good as before.........
Of course, at present, only some magicians who are very young and not very strong are aware of this situation, so they don't pay too much attention to it, and just think that they are not in good shape.
Ironically, the poster for "Duel City" hangs on the street outside the clock tower.
However, to the magicians who come and go, they seem to be completely unaware of the relationship between the two.
It's also normal, who is going to play with this thing except for the new generation of magicians? Not to mention the magicians of the Twelve Families.
However, the new generation of magicians is unlikely to know the magic secrets of the twelve families, and these magic secrets belong to the twelve families that only the heirs and high-level people are qualified to know, so even if there are magicians who really play card games, they will only feel a little interesting after reading the content, and they will not think that it is the essence of their own magic that is leaked.
As for Rhaenys, who already knew the secret from Fang Zheng, looking at the scene in front of her, she really could only sigh.
If even the Magic Association and the Clock Tower were able to detect the slightest hint of threat at this time, perhaps Rhaenys would consider changing her mind.
But unfortunately, now that people have begun to plan to cut the foundation of magicians, these monarchs still don't know anything about it, and they don't even feel the slightest danger of it, which also makes Lydys feel more and more that the clock tower, the magic association and the Thousand Worlds Tree are simply the same.
It's like an ant that only knows how to find food on the ground, but doesn't know that on the top of its head, there is a foot that can fall down and trample it to death at any time.
"It's ridiculous, isn't it?"
Sitting in the tavern, Fang Zheng, who turned into a red ponytail, was drinking Coke with his legs crossed while watching TV. I saw that in front of the TV, a group of people were gathered there to watch the broadcast, but the screen was not a ball game, but the European regional finals of the "Duel City" card.
In order to maximize the influence of this card game, Founder even instructed the Thousand Circles Tree to cooperate with European betting groups, so that even those who do not play the game can ......... You can also gamble.
The European Regional Finals were held in the city of London.
"It's ridiculous, indeed."
Rhaenys sat next to her, a cup of coffee dangling in her hand. As Fang Zheng said, this is simply ridiculous, the other party has slapped his own face, and the Magic Association is still unaware............
"By the way, then again, isn't that the crown resolution today? You're not going to participate? ”
The so-called crown resolution is a joint meeting of the twelve monarchs who lead the Magic Association and the clock tower, which is somewhat similar to the closed-door meeting of the United Nations in the magic world. The location was in the center of the underground labyrinth of Albion beneath the clock tower, and it was originally intended to be a meeting for which Rhaenys and Ermero II, the representatives of the Ermelo clan.
However, Rhaenys chose to give up directly.
"Does that make any sense? After all, the Magic Association is about to be destroyed, and now it's just a dead end, and Olga Marie didn't go either......... Well, my sweet brother is probably still busy in Sly. ”
"Didn't you tell him?"
"If you tell your brother in advance, maybe you will be seen by the people of the Magic Association - there is a flaw, oh, as the saying goes, if you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people, right?"
"That's true."
Saying this, Fang Zheng drank all the Coke in one go, and then stood up. Glancing at the TV screen, at this moment, the European Finals has also come to an end, and many people in the surrounding crowd also cheered.
"Then, it's our turn next."
For Ermelo II, the past has not been a good time at all.
First of all, Leenys suddenly found herself, and then said to him with a smile, "Brother, the Ermelo family is going to quit the Magic Association, you can help deal with the follow-up affairs" and other confusing words, and the harmful Ermelo II had to swallow stomach medicine while starting to deal with the affairs in his hands. On the other hand, he always felt that the atmosphere of the clock tower was a bit bad lately......... What was wrong with Ermelo II could not tell.
But he had a bad premonition, a very bad premonition.
Perhaps, you should go to the clock tower and investigate.
"Grey, pack up, we'll get out right away."
"Yes, Master."
Hearing Ermelo II's words, Grey nodded quickly, and the two left their residence and headed for the clock tower.
However, just as they were approaching the gate of the clock tower, suddenly, a voice came.
"Oh, brother, what a coincidence."
"Rhaenys?"
Hearing the voice of Rhaenys behind him, Ermelo II was stunned for a moment, then he turned his head, and then ——— Ermelo II was stunned.
On the street, Lyenys was smiling and waving to herself, and beside her was a girl in a white jacket and jeans, with a double ponytail as bright red as if a flame was burning.
"Miss Red Ponytail?"
Seeing the appearance of the red ponytail, Grey was also quite surprised.
"How did you end up here?"
"Because the time has come, Grey."
"The time has come?"
"That's right, didn't I say that?"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and took out the bright red sword out of thin air.
"I'll only come to the clock tower in one case."
Saying this, Fang Zheng reversed the big sword and plunged it into the ground.
"Blocked."
