"When Sage Angelica personally rejected the conditions of the Mage Alliance, he said that we are just a small force group and do not have the strength to compete with the big organizations, but if we still have the right to choose, we choose not to cooperate." I said, "As for revenge behind their backs or something, they should disdain to bully Santas, but the Persimeda Chamber of Commerce is really big enough, so it will become the object of their wooing, but the way of wooing is a little roundabout, so, please don't worry too much, the Wizards Alliance is not targeting you, I think what we should worry about is the person the Magicians Alliance is about to deal with." ”

When Ullis heard this, he was even more worried.

"Isn't Persimeda a cannon fodder toolman? Once the horse monkey shochu is married, Persimeda becomes a dowry," said Leo, "but ah, it's a shame to have us!" ”

"You think about it, how to move him." I say.

"It's hard! The old fox is smarter than a monkey when he gets up, and it's a headache when he's stupid," Leo said, "Could it be that the intellectually weakening effect of the protagonist's aura has made him stupid?" ”

"Your Excellency," I said, "this operation is not completely unmanageable, and instead of worrying about how much money is missing, let's analyze together what they want, and I think the breakthrough lies in that Edison." ”

"You were there last time," said Ullis, "and you should be able to tell that this Edison is just a gifted magician, and he has the support of some people in the Wizards' Union behind him. ”

"You should know him better than I do," I said, "is there any information that you can give me for my reference?" ”

"There's nothing to hide," said Uritz, "he came from a not-so-famous family, called the Leyning family, and had a good talent when he was a child, and was once the hope of the family, and he also had a marriage contract with Alice, the little granddaughter of the patriarch of the famous Merlin family, but for some reason, his talent disappeared for a while, and the family lost hope, Alice married Marshall of another big family, the McGecoe family, which was well known, until a year ago, his talent was restored again, Favored by an unknown elder of the Wizards Alliance, he has now held a number of positions within the Alliance, and has recently been promoted to a key position in the management of the Mercenary Guild, and is a hot figure. ”

"The point is in the elder," I said, "why is it called unknown?" Shouldn't this kind of thing be made public? ”

"Soon after his talent returned, he defeated all the people who had bullied him when he was down, which attracted the attention of both inside and outside the alliance, and then, several elders received him, and then their positions increased, but none of the elders came forward to admit it," Yuris said, "It is true that the Magician Alliance is the biggest force, but such a huge group organization is divided into many factions, so it is actually a good thing not to say it, although no faction dares to win over too much, but it does not dare to offend completely." ”

"Clever." I said, "So, what Addison did was taught ......by the elders."

"Yes," Yuris nodded, "and from the way he acted, he couldn't guess which elder was at his disposal. ”

"It seems that the elder is going to pull the Persomeda Chamber of Commerce to his side against his opponents, or the Glorious Mages and the Attiran Brotherhood." I said, "So, Santas is just a small bait, and the Permeeda Chamber of Commerce is the big fish that has to be baited, or, in their opinion, Santas is not worth mentioning at all, and the Permeada Chamber of Commerce is Ginya's dowry." ”

"Talking to you is like talking to old guys I haven't seen in years," Yuris looked at me earnestly, "I really underestimated you before. ”

"Aside from that," I said with a smile, "or back to the point, what would you choose?" ”

"In the past, she actually hated a genius like Edison," said Ullis, "but I have heard that she has come to you in private to confide in her troubles, and even my grandfather has been left alone, and I know that you are very important to her, whether it is the son of the sparring partner Tempest Horse King, or some small gift you have given her, she is extremely attentive to you...... Don't get me wrong, I just care about her and don't object to your personal interactions. ”

"If I were you, I would also be worried about my granddaughter's relationship with a foreign race, so I understand it very well," I said, "However, if you ask her directly, she will definitely hide something, it doesn't matter, children are like this when they reach a certain age, the problem is, she said that for the sake of the family's interests, she is willing to wronged herself, listening to her say this, I think of my family, in my hometown, although we are ordinary countrymen, but we will never grieve our children for the future of the family, but I know that in the city, in the nobility, The interests of the family are higher than the happiness of the children, and this is the case for orcs, and humans are not immune, so I decided to help her......"

"You mean, you're going to help Ginya repent of her marriage?" Yuris frowned, "Although Edison only made an inquiry verbally, once this kind of thing spreads, other people have this idea, and they should also consider it carefully." ”

"Ginya still has a marriage contract, doesn't she?" I say.

"Lucas of the Glorious Mage...... You're saying that let their two organizations have some conflict first? Yuris shook his head, "For the sake of a Persimeda Chamber of Commerce, they won't do that." ”

"Then you're underestimating the Persimeda Chamber of Commerce and Kinya," I laughed, "I say Santas is insignificant because our strength is there, and what about you?" Although the fifth place is not as good as the first and second places, it also has the strength to maneuver, right? ”

"It's easy to get yourself in." "We are merchants, they are a group of magicians," says Yuris.

"By the way," I changed the subject, "I heard that the Persimeda Chamber of Commerce is ......"

"You don't have to worry about this," Yuris waved his hand confidently, "We've cleared all the hidden dangers of internal instability. ”

"Hehe, to put it lightly, it seems that he is also a ruthless person," Leo said, "I guess I didn't take the happiness of little Lori seriously, I just came to test you." ”

I said, "Now that we've said that, you don't have to doubt our position, do you?" The crisis of the Persomeda Chamber of Commerce is the crisis of Santas, and we must keep up with you. ”

"It's useless," Yuris smiled, "and let's go ahead and talk about what to do." ”

"Don't worry," I smiled, "when Ginya came to me, we agreed, when she broke through the high-level magician, I would teach her what to do next, and when the time comes, everything will be extraordinarily smooth, trust me." ”

"Well, I want to know, why?" Yuris asked.

"Just because I'm Ginya's first interracial friend." I say.

"Isn't it because you're about to become Santas's successor?" Yuris smiled meaningfully.

I cooperated and made a slightly surprised expression, and then regained my composure and said, "I can't hide this kind of thing...... That's right, who called Santas so small? ”

Yuris added, "Santas is a bit small, but you, the key person, are not bound by Santas...... I already know what the prophecy is. ”

I was taken aback – this time I was really surprised.

"The old fox is not kind," said Leo......

"We are magicians, not princes and nobles in the world, don't be so surprised," Yuris said, "Our family has a kingdom on the main plane, and Santas only has a small city, so you may not understand how we think about mortal wars, in the eyes of magicians, mortal wars are like children's games, things that can be easily solved, they spend many times more money to achieve, but magicians are different, we have mastered the power that is essentially equivalent to that of the gods, Even though we are only a small part, we have a broader vision, prophecy or something, which is only a magic that is not attainable in the secular government, but in our opinion, it is only a matter of willingness. ”

"But...... "I was a little puzzled," "isn't it the customary rule of magicians not to abuse prophecy and not to interfere with the future?" ”

"It's true, but not absolutely," said Uris, "so it's not that we don't use it, but we use it as needed, and we use it skillfully, as best we can, without affecting the future." ”

"Understood," I nodded, "because of the prophecy, you guess you chose to work with Santas, and Ginya and I know each other just a coincidence, isn't it?" ”

"Well, I can't say it so bluntly," Yuris said, "You know, apart from the El Federation and the Ruichi Chamber of Commerce, there are very few organizations willing to trade with the aliens, and we also tentatively contacted the El Federation and Santas in order to expand our sales, and we didn't have much hope until we visited your farm, and besides, there are intelligence agents from the Wizards Alliance who have recently visited the Ice Elemental Plane......"

It dawned on me.

"It's not just me, many people have noticed you, including the unknown elder of the Wizards Alliance who stood behind Edison," Yuris said, "The former Santas was indeed insignificant, but it was a complete mage tower, and there was a strong person like Lord Angelica, even if it was not looked at by many forces, it was not an existence that could be kneaded casually, and now that there is one more you, things are a little delicate......"
