Chapter 6: Nicholas's Scheme
Far away in the desert.
The capital of the Okade Federation, Floating Sands.
Bottom space.
"Come in." Speaker Nicholas said.
Wearing a mask, Wei walked in. This huge room is part of the power system of the Floating Sand City, and various mechanical devices make a rumbling sound, controlling the Floating Sand City to ride the wind and waves in the desert. Speaker Nicholas stood next to a giant gear, with another person at his side.
"Your Excellency." Wei bowed.
"You don't have to care about Vladimir." Nicholas laughed.
"Your Excellency." The middle-aged man known as Vladimir bowed to Wei with a smile on his face. He was wearing a wide dark red robe, and his whole body was chubby, slightly bowed.
"Mr. Kim."
Vladimir?? Kim was Speaker Nicholas's first minister, his right-hand man long before he became a legendary mage, and one of the most powerful legions in Okad under the Speaker. But after the civil war, he faded out of Okade's circle of power, returned to his fiefdom, and moved to Puente, the city of a thousand bridges, last year.
And Wei knew...... This unassuming "Mr. Jin" is the actual controller of the Mainland Chamber of Commerce today. Even the bigwigs of the Chamber of Commerce didn't know that their mysterious president was Okade's courtier. No one except the Speaker himself knows how much property Mr. Kim has hidden in his vault.
As an arcane spellcaster, Mr. Jin secretly reached the Blue Ocean level many years ago, and now his strength is even more unfathomable. At this moment, he was standing in front of Wei, his face was full of happy commercial smiles, but when Wei looked him directly into the eyes, he still felt a burst of inexplicable palpitations.
Unlike Speaker Nicholas's eagle-like sharpness, unlike the prison master's unangry self-authority, and different from His Majesty's Pope's inclusiveness, Mr. King's gaze has always been very kind, but it is incomprehensible. Wei had no doubt that this somewhat blessed body erupted, and its strength would be no less than that of Elrios' "Lord of the Galaxy".
"I've seen your report." Speaker Nicholas nodded.
"My lord has told me the ins and outs of the matter," Mr. Kim smiled, "Your Excellency, you might as well tell me your opinion first." ”
Wei couldn't help but curse "old fox" in his heart.
"Speaker, Mr. Jin," Wei said respectfully, "the fact in my memory is different from reality, it may be that the cause and effect of the world itself has been modified, and it can also make the Confusion Control Legendary Spell that affects the entire world. ”
"Tell me what you think." Speaker Nicholas was noncommittal.
Wei Leng paused: "I think the latter is more likely." He could not confirm whether the speaker had been affected by the change in the world, so he did not continue.
"In your memory, that Brigadier Meria will be a Holy Lady of the Holy See," Mr. King touched his chin, "and as far as we know, Miss Hearn is the ultimate candidate for the Holy Woman." Another fact that you think has changed is that you know a sixth 'Black Apostle' John?? Goth, and now the man is completely gone, and no one remembers his existence...... Is that so? ”
"Yes."
"'Eternal blood' is the unchanging outer signpost of our world. His perception is less susceptible to tampering than legendary spellcasters who specialize in soul protection," Speaker Nicholas said coldly, "if we believe what he says is true......"
"We might as well assume that that's the truth." Mr. Kim said.
"Is it possible that I have swapped with me in another world?" Wei couldn't help but ask.
"Theoretically impossible," said Speaker Nicholas, "I tend to be that the world itself has changed. ”
"Yes." Wei breathed a sigh of relief. His worst fears were ruled out.
Previously, he was afraid that the Speaker's perception would also change, and he didn't believe his words.
Now it seems that the Speaker is willing to believe him, although he remembers a history that is different from what he knows.
Moreover, Mr. Speaker is not clueless.
"What do you think," Mr. King began, "the two changes ............ 'the change of the choice of the Holy Maiden' and the 'disappearance of the sixth apostle'?"
"Don't go around in circles with juniors, my Vladimir," Speaker Nicholas said calmly, "and we've come to a conclusion. It's not just a legendary spell that's causing this upheaval. The reason why you see two major changes is because one is the cause and the other is the effect. ”
"Know which is the cause and which is the effect." Mr. Kim's eyes narrowed.
"John?? Goth became the Apostle of the Black before Meria was chosen as a saint," Wei said in a deep voice, "because John?? The fact that Goth became an Apostle of the Black was 'changed', so that the fact that Melia was chosen as a saint did not happen. Is that so? The absence of the sixth apostle is the cause, and the change of the Holy Maiden is the effect......"
"According to you, Son," said Mr. King, "we can conclude that there is indeed a sixth apostle in this world. Someone, for some reason, through some unknown legendary spell, erased the existence of the Sixth Apostle from the world......"
"Is it John?? Goth's existence vanished entirely. Wei said.
Speaker Nicholas and Mr. King looked at each other. Speaker Nicholas nodded slowly at Mr. King.
"Our greatest luck," Mr. Kim said solemnly, "is to have you." ”
"What?" Wei was taken aback.
"Not John?? Goth's existence has been erased," said Mr. King, "and as I said, it is the Sixth Apostle of the Black Floating City. If you hadn't reported the name of the Sixth Apostle, even the Speaker and I might not have noticed this. ”
Wei spent a few seconds pondering Mr. Kim's words. Then, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Is it ......?"
"We've got new information, John?? Goths are not really gone," said Speaker Nicholas, "and now, there is a new task for you. ”
……
Ten minutes later.
Wei turned to leave.
"My lord," Mr. Jin reverted to his customary address with the speaker as he saw Wei leave, "are you really going to do this?" ”
"Whatever," Speaker Nicholas looked dismissive, "'You don't have to destroy what you can't get,' that's what you taught me, Vladimir." ”
"There are always pieces in the chessboard that want to jump out of the chessboard," Mr. Kim said with a regretful expression.
"Still, we still have time to put it back on the board." Speaker Nicholas said softly.
As long as you don't become a "chess player", no matter how hard the "chess pieces" try, it will be in vain. And the wrong plan of the "chess player" will give away the powerful chess pieces to others.
"'Buy one get one free,'" Mr. Jin said with a careful look, "as long as the deal is closed, it is a sure deal." You've got a real flair for business, lord. However, you also need to be careful about the movements of the French powers and the Empire. ”
"The only 'eternal blood' in the world is in our hands," Speaker Nicholas smiled on his cold face, "and now it's up to him." ”
……
In the Okard barracks of the Five Nations Alliance.
"Wei?" Li Jie looked at Wei who broke in surprise. He teleported to Floating Sand City in a single day, and back again - the cost of teleportation alone was enough to feed a thousand-man team for days.
"It's urgent," Wei said simply, "and I've got permission." Call Melia, let's go to the Empire. ”
Wei did not tell Speaker Nicholas - in this world, it is likely that there is another "eternal blood" belonging to the empire. Not surprisingly, the other party should have also noticed John?? Goth's mysterious disappearance.
I don't know where her intelligence has progressed. This time, the task will be a race against time.
