One hundred and forty-eight The Magician's Revolution
"Don't be in a hurry to condemn me ......"
Zolde had a distinctly mocking smile on his face, "Everyone ask themselves, does Anno Oath really still exist?"
He turned to a sneer: "Last time, the Mage Federation of the Epochs joined the war to destroy the Dark Elves, and since that time, the oath has been nullified!"
"Some people say it's to save the world, but didn't the Anno Oath say 'even if the world is destroyed, the glory of magic will live forever'?"
"Is there a clause in the Anno Oath that magicians can temporarily abandon their oath to defend the world? No! The oath explicitly requires magicians to be separated from mortals, but why do people pretend not to see it?"
"Isn't it because of the agreements reached with the major churches at that time, and with the Tuduo Empire later, that magicians are no longer regarded as evil beings, and magicians can recruit apprentices on the mainland and move freely?
Speaking of this, a shouting discussion sounded, and Lemay, who was about to speak, shut up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The clown who jumps off the beam is not worth his own effort.
Zold's voice was even louder: "But why do you still wear the skin of the Oath of the Anpoch because of the monopoly! It is through this skin that some families can monopolize the trade with the Chamber of Commerce, and can exploit all the magicians and the magic workshop!"
"How much does a set of record crystals cost?Three silver pennies!How much does the workshop sell to a trade guild designated by the Council?Seven silver pennies!How much does a trade guild sell to a trade union?Three gold bushels, which is ten times the cost!How much does a business association sell to a user?Ten gold bushels!"
"If it's just about the price, it's fine, and the workshop can make more money just by working hard. But some families rely on the skin of the "Anno Oath", and they have an excuse to control and set quotas through trade guilds! It is useless to produce in the workshop, and you must curry favor with these families and get quotas in order to earn that little hard-earned money. And these quotas are privately granted to family members by these families, so that they can resell them, and they can collect another sum of money without having to produce!"
"With this monopoly, these families have been immortalized in the Storm Isles for millennia! they have suppressed the growth of talented and gifted magicians, turning countless magicians into tools for their wealth! They lie on great wealth and use all kinds of opportunistic methods to obtain magic levels, and they tarnish the divine brilliance of magic!"
"They live in Silver City, and even the urinal in the tower is made of gold! Who doesn't know the Golden Family of Silver City? The children of the entire Storm Islands know!"
Zold looked directly at Lemay and continued, "The Anno Oath has become the shackles of the Golden Family ruling the Storm Isles, monopolizing the magic trade, squeezing other magicians, and sinking the wizarding world, and I'm just here to pierce the skin!"
He raised his arms and looked around at the crowd: "Today, as a member of the Supreme Council, I ask the Council to vote to annul the Anno Oath!"
"Ridiculous!"
It was not Lemay, but another councillor who shouted: "You are a vicious attack on the noble families of Silver City! It is the ancestors of these families who have led everyone to build the Storm Islands into a paradise for magicians! In the face of the great deeds of the ancestors, you should maintain respect and awe!"
Another member coughed and said, "Today's agenda item has been decided, and you can ask the Board to have this item included in the follow-up agenda." ”
Lemay spoke: "I admire your courage, young man, for I used to take the slightest filth I saw as a sign of the corruption of the world, and then to find among the most illustrious and shining those who are responsible, and to fight against such an enemy with soul-burning zeal, for this is the simplest. ”
This Zold's attack on his ally reminded him of his younger self, and he wanted to reach out and pull a hand.
"But the world is chaotic, just like we weave magic in a magic web, and we don't need a fulcrum. This requires us to look at things from different angles, and if you invest too much in one angle, there will be problems in other angles, and your magic will be out of balance. ”
The ninth-level magician used the principles of magic to instruct the young magician, which was a great kindness, and of course, the shocking remarks just now could be attributed to the recklessness and ignorance of the young man.
"Your Excellency, I have great respect for you, you studied magic as a child, and your adventures have given me a lot of encouragement. But when you become the chairman of the board of directors and take the reins of the Storm Islands, you become ineffective in my eyes, and even become an accomplice to the Golden Family!"
Zold's words silenced the space for a moment, and then a scolding rang out.
The gavel is pounding, and it is Hathaway Ted, the director in charge of discipline at the venue today.
The young female legend tucked her long black hair, and her eyes like a silver moon were extremely calm.
She nodded politely to Lemay, then at Zold, spreading the sound of strings throughout the space.
"Lord Mildern, under the demigods, the Chairman has a dignity of no other. Your remarks are a serious accusation of the Chairman's conduct, and unless evidence is presented, the Supreme Council will disqualify you from the Council for misconduct. ”
Hathaway's words were devoid of emotion, like a goddess sending down an oracle, but also like an oracle, causing an invisible ripple in space.
Lemay's eyes constricted, and she looked at the genius sorceress from the Golden Family.
It's not helping yourself, it's cheating yourself!
He suddenly felt that the decision to bring this person into the Council was too hasty, and that he should dig into the actions of this person in the previous years when he was not in the Storm Islands.
"Evidence?"
Zolde laughed: "Do you still need evidence? Your Excellency the Chairman has a noble personality and has no direct interests with the Trade Guild, but why do the disciples of the Chairman all hold important positions in the Trade Guild? Why do you go around and look at the unpleasant workshop, and if the other party does not obey, you can only leave the Storm Islands with hatred? How did the legendary Rowanna of the Golden Rose Workshop leave? Everyone knows it!"
"Also, there is always no shortage of funds and materials for the chairman's private research projects, and there are really a lot of offerings from the Golden Family. ”
"Oh, by the way, several of the president's sons and nephews are also enjoying the worship of the Loyal Divine Court in Erxiang, and have also been awarded the title of 'Holy Magician'......"
The accusation was interrupted by Hathaway's gavel again, and the female legend said with a cold face: "There is no evidence!"
Lemay's disciple, another member of the council, said angrily: "Hathaway!
The female legend frowned: "According to the rules and regulations of the meeting, the accusations against the chairman must be clarified immediately!"
Lemay finally couldn't help coughing: "I don't want to easily ruin the future of a young man, let it go in advance, I have this power, right?"
The female legend nodded, and then said: "According to the system, if a temporary motion of a councillor is approved by half of the councillors, the motion can be used as a formal topic. This one, chairman of the board, do you also want to use your power to release it first?"
Lemay paused: "This ......"
The gavel sounded: "Then enter the voting session, whether to agree to turn Mildern's temporary motion into a formal agenda and vote." ”
Lemay and the others were shocked before glaring at Hathaway.
It was already late, a light in the space was lit, the blue light agreed, the red light objected, and Lemay and others hurriedly cast their votes.
Two hundred and thirty-three votes in favour and one hundred and seven against.
The atmosphere in the space suddenly stagnated, and several directors' boats approached Lemay and muttered a few words in private.
Lemay was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily.
Then he got up from his seat and said solemnly, "The stakes are very high to change or even repeal the Anno Oath, and we cannot make a rash decision in an impromptu meeting. In my capacity as President, I have postponed this agenda item until next year's formal plenary session of the High Council. ”
Hathaway spoke again: "According to the meeting system, this power belongs to the council, and the council must vote. ”
Damn the system! Damn voting!
Lemay scolded secretly, are you here to make trouble, or are your brains burned by magic and you don't understand any flexibility?
"Council, vote!"
He didn't really care, most of the council was on his side.
Twenty-three directors, ten voted in favor of the postponement and thirteen voted against the postponement, including Hathaway and the other two directors of the Golden Family, as well as all non-Gold Family directors.
Even for a legendary magician, at this moment, Lemay's face became very ugly.
Hathaway's position is clear, she is the enemy. But how could the other directors, at least the ones he was familiar with, oppose him?
"Pamir, you just said that a magician can't see things from just one angle. ”
Lemay's friend, Dekker Menesus, the dean of the Supreme Academy of Magic, said leisurely: "Then about the Anno Oath, we also have to look at it from a different perspective. ”
"Now that the Dawning Star has risen, it's time for the epoch to change. If we still cling to tradition and don't do anything, won't we be like the Second Age, huddled in a corner and watched the world change, almost ruined by the tide of magic caused by the change of eras?"
"The rise of mirage technology in the mainland is a sign, and from this sign, I see more signs that if we don't seize it, opportunities will turn into disasters......
As the most authoritative prophecy master of the Storm Islands, Menesus's words made the direction of the wind in the space much clearer.
"Abolish the Anno Oath!"
"This skin should have been peeled off a long time ago! The Golden Family can't continue to drag the Storm Islands into a depraved and decaying future!"
"It's time for a new fate for a magician!"
"Vote! Vote!"
The parliamentarians were full of discussions, and soon converged into a neat wave of "vote, vote!"
Lemay was a little at a loss for a moment, which was far from the situation he could handle.
A certain director was furious: "When did the Golden Family become the target of blackmail by you lowly people!?
Another member of the Golden Family said coldly, "Vote, do you really think that the votes in your hands are the real power?"
He shouted to Lemay: "What about your authority, President, just tolerate the chaos in the meeting room!?"
Those who manage order are traitors!
Lemay scolded secretly and had to shout: "This topic is not in line with the agenda, and I postpone the ...... in the name of the chairman."
The gavel rang, and Hathaway said coldly: "The chairman violated the order of the meeting and postponed the decision is not legal. ”
Lemay resisted the urge to smash a large fireball over, gritted his teeth and asked, "Then what is legal?"
"Dissolve this parliament and re-elect members," Hathaway's tone was mechanical like a puppet.
This can't be, it means a civil war in the Storm Islands!
"Whether or not to annul the Anno Oath has decided the Stormed Isles...... No, the fate of the entire wizarding world, I ask for a meeting of demigods, and the demigods will make the decision!"
Lemay finally threw a killer move, even though it meant that his authority as president was gone.
Zelder sneered: "The demigod meeting? the demigods are all doing plane travel, and it will be fast to be able to gather them in ten years!"
The councilor of the Golden Family also roared, "This is tantamount to annulling the oath!"
People on both sides quarreled, and people began to throw water glasses and even seat parts, and the scene was chaotic like a street fight.
In this space, even the power of legendary magicians has been suppressed to the level of the strong, and spells higher than the level of the strong can no longer be used.
Hathaway banged on the gavel and shouted weakly, "Order!
The directors and councillors of the Golden Family gathered together and a decision was quickly made.
"The meeting is out of control, gather the guards, maintain order!"
The men shouted, rushed directly to Le Mailemet's boat, and sounded the alarm bell on the boat.
Blue light shot into space from the chaos, paving a path, and a large number of battle mages entered with demon warriors and magic golems.
"Arrest all these people who flout the order of the venue!"
"These people are rebels, hurry up!"
"York, Mariman, Gawain, do it!"
The councillors and councillors of the Golden Family beckoned to the leader of the guard they knew, but the leader ignored them and looked at only one person.
Lemay thought he was looking at him and sighed, "Do as they say." ”
The leader didn't move at all, Lemay was extremely surprised, and when he looked at it again, his heartstrings shook violently.
They were looking at Hathaway......
The gavel rang again, and Hathaway said expressionlessly, "Do ......."
Lemay's hanging heart was put down, and then he suddenly hung up again.
The guards rushed to the Golden Family, the councillors, and the councillors, tossing them to the ground one by one, tying them with forbidden ropes, and sealing their mouths with forbidden seals to prevent them from chanting incantations.
"This, this, this?"
Lemay looked around left and right, shocked and horrified, this is a mutiny!
Menesus sighed: "yes, how can they be so stupid as to think that they will only overthrow them with their ballots?"
Lemay cried out in pain, "Y-are you going to send the Storm Islands into a civil war?"
"Civil war?"
A certain "betrayal" director of the Golden Family sneered: "Lemay, you have been standing in the front desk for too long, and you are only used to looking at the things in front and behind, you are really too dull." ”
What do you mean?
Lemay was puzzled when a huge screen lit up in the space, showing the entire Silver City from the perspective of the Tower of the High Council.
The sky was already dense with floating ships, and the glowing blue magic cannon muzzles were pointing at the towers, which were the residences of the Golden Family. Bands of battle mages and warriors crashed into the towers in airships.
"You ......"
The coolness seeped from the bottom of Lemay's heart to the top of his head: "You guys have long been ready to mutiny!?"
"Mutiny?"
Zelder smiled: "The corrupt rule of the Golden Family should have ended a long time ago! You see, didn't Master Ted himself understand this truth and stand on our side?"
He suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "This is not a mutiny, it is a revolution! A revolution that will return the rule of the Storm Islands to the people!"
