Things will encounter obstacles, this is not out of Bai Yi's expectations, changing the world's perception is troublesome, not to mention that this matter is not just a concept.
For the ruling class, that is, for those behind the scenes of this council, no one wants such a large number of strong people to appear out of thin air, just one hope makes them anxious, and it is rumored that he is only ranked fifth, which means that there are four monsters in front of him who are more terrible than him? It is very likely that the appearance of this group of things will be grandiose and cause social turmoil, and it will shake the foundation of the rule.
Although the Fifth Walker who is currently operating outside is still a good person of the orderly faction, a peace-loving and young girl, and a very low-key person, this has nothing to do with their obstacles, and no one in power would want a huge force to suddenly emerge from this world that is not under control... This kind of thing may have little impact on the ordinary people, but those in power cannot ignore it.
What's even more terrifying is that this group of guys also controls a special terrible force, the invincible black flame, which is the main content of the current council - it is too powerful, too dangerous, and has always been listed as the most forbidden force by the Church, how can he not let him release this terrible devil into the world.
Therefore, the result of this council was actually doomed at the beginning of the meeting, and recognizing the legitimacy of the power of the void is equivalent to recognizing the legitimacy of the void walkers, and this terrible force can appear in this world in a grand manner, not only the authorities cannot tolerate such a thing, but the church will definitely not agree to it.
To be precise, the reason why this side is so resolute is that the church is influencing to a large extent.
The other party's thoughts are actually very clear to Bai Yi, what about the solution? It's not that there isn't, going to war directly is the easiest and quickest way, but it's the last way he wants to use, and if he really wants to use force, it means that everything he has done before will be wasted, and it will be a great loss. The lesson of the mad king has also been reminding Bai Yi, don't think that you can go up casually if you have a big advantage, it is easy to capsize... Moreover, Bai Yi also has a lot of concerns, not as clear as the orthodox protagonist.
If you don't use force, there is a more secure way, that is, continue to follow the current route, and wait until the college graduates gradually enter more social strata, and even enter the core strata, and let these people help achieve the goal, this way will not go too wrong, but it is very inefficient and requires more patience.
As for the last way, it is necessary to wait for some opportunities, for example, the other side feels that he can't bear it, and he takes the initiative to start a war as soon as the table is lifted, and Nabai is also the happiest, and he can solve many problems by taking advantage of the situation... However, the other side is not stupid, and he will not be so stupid to use force, so that Bai Yi can occupy the moral high ground to fight back.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is already a war, but you can't see the smoke and bloodshed, and the attacks on both sides are basically on the table, and this side thinks that you Void Walkers are too arrogant, so they will make all kinds of prohibitions and restrictions to give your academy all kinds of stumbling blocks, and Bai Yi's counterattack? It was directly smashed into the courtyard of an official with a forbidden spell, destroying his newly built courtyard, and then using the excuse that the experimental magic accidentally got out of control, fortunately there were no casualties, so the next day, no one took those bans and restrictions seriously.
In the past few years, the two sides have been engaged in such a tentative conflict, and before they figured out the bottom line of the two sides, they were still quite restrained from each other, so when participating in this routine friction meeting, Bai Yi's posture was much more casual, and he put his legs on the table and let the two students play freely.
The opposite side is about the same, sleeping and sleeping, chatting and chatting, and the one who really came up to talk to Bai Yi on his side is just a young man, his appearance is barely handsome, but he has a confident and passionate temperament, wearing a standard aristocratic dress, hanging a necklace around his neck, the pendant is made of expensive platinum, and the style is a book that stands upright and spreads out, and the pages on it are finely carved with swords representing martial arts, magic circles, flasks representing alchemy and other symbols.
Regardless of the price of platinum, just this fine workmanship can see that this necklace is worth a lot, in today's Vosa Empire, to be able to wear such a necklace is far more pretentious than any status, title, nickname, title and so on.
This book is actually the school emblem of Bai Yi University, and this necklace is actually a gift and proof issued by the university to the best graduates, among the graduates of each year, only three people can be awarded this platinum necklace by Bai Yi himself, and he can wear this necklace, which is definitely the top and most outstanding young talent in the Vosa Empire.
It's just that the young man with this necklace is standing in the enemy camp, which means that Bai Yi's most proud student ran to become a second or fifth boy... arranged for him to come up and debate with Bai Yi's side, which was originally a means to disgust him on the other side.
The man's name was Tim. Walter, 23, winner of the fifth platinum necklace, was recruited by the royal family as a special advisor to the academic department almost as soon as he graduated, intending to train him as a pillar of the country in the future, and he was the first person to enter the academic department at such an age since the founding of the Vosa Empire.
As for what is the Academic Division? It is almost a department that manages a series of matters such as education and culture in a unified manner, and the absolute core circle of power.
Let such a person who is obviously an important seed of future plans stand in front of him, Bai Yi's mood is naturally very unhappy, the other party disgusts him, and at the same time warns him: We are very clear about your arrangement...
Of course, playing this kind of little trick is not to be outdone, in fact, the schoolgirl named Vivi on his left is the favorite granddaughter of the Minister of Finance of the Vosa Empire, and one of the backbone members who resolutely resist the Voidwalkers.
Although the Minister of Finance is in a high position, the sons and grandsons of the family are not so successful, and the hopes of the family are basically pinned on this precious granddaughter, so he was taken by Bai Yi's side, attending such a tearing meeting, and defending the enemies of the family with all his might.
Come on, do you hurt each other?
Tisgaard, who is used to seeing this kind of thing, is also quite helpless about this, at first she was still interested in going up to argue a few words, as for now, she has rested, her head is lowered and her head is lowered, and she looks a little drowsy, leaving her elementary school sister to continue to quarrel with the other side.
The reason why it is said to be noisy rather than normal speech is because now the two sides are basically spraying each other without nutrition, and there is nothing very substantive to say, after all, what can be said has already been said, and the rest is to watch Weiwei scold Erwuzai.
"You bastard! Fence-sitter! What face do you have to stand before me? Standing in front of the dean? Vivi still tried hard there and asked sharply.
And the boy on the opposite side looked at Bai Yi who was sitting there lazily, even though he had thousands of excuses in his heart, he couldn't say anything, as he said, if it wasn't for the situation, he would definitely not want to appear in this position, sitting like pins and needles.
Finally, the time of the council passed, and the participants began to leave one after another, because it was a high-level meeting, and not many people participated, Tim, who had been roasted on the fire for three hours, was finally able to relax a little, quickly wiped the cold sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead, sat on the chair, and gasped heavily.
Being forcibly ordered to attend this kind of meeting is far better than any exam in college, and it is really a painful ordeal.
However, as a young man who was favored by Bai Yi, Tim's heart must be very resolute, and after calming down a little, he left his seat, quickly caught up with Bai Yi who was leaving, bowed deeply to him, and still maintained the greatest respect like the student back then, and whispered in a confessional tone: "Dean, I'm sorry..."
Bai Yi glanced at him silently, in fact, from an administrative point of view, the student who was bowing to him had the right to control himself, but he still maintained the posture that a student should have, which also made him feel a little comforted, so he replied: "Don't apologize, continue to do what you should do..."
"Yes, I understand, I still remember the teachings of the scholars, teachers, Your Majesty, and you, and I have not forgotten my oath that one day, a great being like you will be truly just, and I will be able to hold my head high to meet the admiration and worship of the world." Tim replied very seriously.
"Alas..."Bai Yi sighed a little helplessly, as he did back then, reached out and touched his head, and said, "Don't think too much, take care of yourself." ”
This is a reminder, with Tim's intelligence, he can naturally understand the meaning of his words, he will be arranged to attend this kind of meeting today, then in the future, life will be extremely difficult, although there will be no injury and no worries about life, but when it comes to torture people, all kinds of invisible soft knives poking in the heart are more deadly, just like today.
However, Tim proved that he was worthy of Bai Yi's valued student back then, and he still replied with that resolute look, "I won't give up, Dean." ”
In the face of such a student, Bai Yi's own heart was actually shaken, for the sake of the future plan, let his proud disciple go through such a test, as a teacher, he still couldn't bear it...
For a moment, he didn't want this kid to suffer these tortures again, so he went back to the university to become a professor and live a peaceful life.
But after the expression on his face armor changed, he still didn't say what he wanted to say after all, just waved his hand, changed the topic, and said, "Go and talk to Weiwei, it's rare for you to see each other." ”
Tim looked up, glanced at Vivi, who was whispering something to Tisgaard, shook his head, a timid look on his face, and replied honestly, "She's now... Hate me, don't you? ”
The two are actually students at the same level, and the relationship was particularly good when they were still in college, and a certain degree of youthful love naturally sprouted later.
"Show the courage you had to play the piano under the girls' dormitory." Bai Yi patted him on the shoulder and encouraged.
At the beginning, this seemingly honest boy had a lot of courage in his heart, and he dared to take a harp in the middle of the night, holding a large bouquet of flowers picked from the garden, avoiding the chase and interception of the big-mouthed flowers, and running to the girls' dormitory to play the piano and confess with the most romantic means of this era...
At that time, Weiwei was so moved that she cried on the spot, and the two hugged each other on the spot, and then the next day she was sent by Vidnina, who had just become the vice president, to clean the toilet, and by the way, she had to compensate for the damage to the garden, as well as the medical expenses of the injured students.
Fortunately, I was not punished and no credits were deducted.
As for the fact that it was just nonsense, why would anyone get hurt? Isn't a big-mouthed flower a good look? Without Tim's sleeping brothers to help contain the bigmouth flower, he was afraid that he would have to play the piano with his bare ass and confess.
Hearing Bai Yi mention the embarrassment of the year again, Tim's face also showed a rare smile, shook his head, and sighed: "I remember now, the big mouth flower is so fierce, and my friends were bitten so badly..."
"It's a big mouth flower that was on duty that night, if it is replaced by a cactus, none of you boys will think about it." Bai Yi also relaxed and made a joke.
It's just that Tim's hearty smile only lasted for a while, and soon disappeared from his face, and now things are wrong, his family is not prominent, he needs the current well-paid job, and the lover of the year still adheres to his ambitions, and shows the determination to break with the family, in this regard, Tim can only be ashamed of himself, this relationship, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue.
"Go and have a good chat with her, you have to believe that she is still the girl who deserves your risk to confess in the middle of the night." Bai Yi gently nudged Tim behind his back, and then called Tisgar by the way, and the two of them left quickly away, leaving the problem to the two young men to solve on their own.
And Tisgar, who was leaving with Bai Yi, seemed to think of something, and whispered behind him: "Teacher, you don't have to blame yourself, these things are actually our own choices. ”
Bai Yi shook his head, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and did not answer directly, but changed the topic, "It's over here, you go back quickly, today should be the day when Artie and the others come back." ”
"Understood, some small things such as procurement will be dealt with and I will go back." Tisgaard replied, then suddenly smiled playfully, and said, "Does the teacher even remember these little things?" ”
"Because there aren't many things worth remembering." Bai Yi replied lightly.
