Chapter 376: Conflict of Ideas
Ari didn't stay in Grandi Village for long.
After learning a little about the situation with the villagers, he left, Gorgon didn't have to worry about him, he could hide for so long under the pursuit of the two strongest temples on the mainland, and he didn't die so easily.
He had just returned to Atlanta when he was approached by the temple's senior priest.
As soon as the senior priest walked into the city hall, he broke into Eri's city lord's office, took out a scroll-like document and put it on the table, and commanded: "Temple Order, please ask Atlanta City to search for temple fugitives with all its might, no matter what the cost!"
Ai Rui glanced at the Zhao Ling, and he was not angry, but said happily: "Arresting and searching people is the matter of the Garrison Department, although I am the city lord, this matter is not under my control." ”
Seeing that Ai Rui dared to shirk in the face of Zhao Ling, a gloomy look suddenly flashed on his face, he had long known that the young man had helped this group of people to build up the temple Yang Feng Yin and disobey, but he didn't expect to dare to even ignore Zhao Ling.
However, this time the stakes are so high that there is no room for any loss, and the senior priest can only suppress his anger and say: "This time it was the Pope's personal order, if there is an accident, Atlanta City and even the entire Barak Kingdom are ready to accept the monstrous wrath of the temple." ”
Ari waved his hand and said, "This matter is the responsibility of the Security Department. ”
A hint of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the senior priest: "Are you preparing to fight against the temple?"
"Let your archbishop tell me, just you, you are not worthy!" After Ari finished speaking, a silver glint flashed in his eyes, and his mental power burst out.
The senior priest only felt as if his head was about to explode, and his head was splitting, and when he recovered, the whole person had already appeared outside the city hall.
In the City Lord's office, Ari snorted coldly.
He is the lord of a city, the youngest magician on the mainland, how can a high-ranking priest provoke casually?
To deal with this kind of scumbag who has no combat experience, he doesn't even need to move a finger.
And the senior priest was even more dazed, he didn't even know what was going on, and the whole person was thrown out.
But in the next moment, his anger rose instantly.
Good!
Very good!
A mere city lord dared to do something to the temple priest.
The High Clergy glanced at the town hall with resentment, and turned back to the temple church.
In front of Maximus, the senior priest said with a serious face: "Archbishop, this son has no respect for the temple, if he is not dealt with ruthlessly, the prestige of the temple will definitely be ruined in the future." ”
Maximus glanced at him and asked, "What did you say to him?"
The senior priest said: "I showed him the temple edict, but he deliberately shirked it, and finally even said that you should go to him in person!"
"How did you get away with it?"
He said that the matter was under the control of the Security Department and that he was unwilling to accept the order. ”
"Then why don't you go to the Security Department?"
"I ...... Huh?" the senior priest looked at Maximus in amazement.
Maximus looked at the senior priest indifferently and said, "Although he is still young, he is the apprentice of the old dean, and he is the youngest magician in the mainland.
Do you think that a single edict from the temple will allow you to manipulate such a strong man at will?
I'll leave that to you.
I don't care what you do, people have to be found, and the relationship with the town hall has to be dealt with.
If you can't do that, you can find a town to be a pastor yourself. ”
After Maximus finished speaking, he ignored the stunned priest and went directly to the council chamber of the temple.
Inside the Council Chamber.
Maximus was late, and there were already quite a few people in the hall. Everyone was standing, except for two people sitting at the front two of the long table.
The two men were dressed in strange silver robes, and the badges on their chests were different from those worn by everyone present, and the golden scepter on it alone was enough to make everyone look at each other.
Both of them were holding thick golden scrolls in their hands, their expressions were awe-inspiring, and they only nodded lightly when they saw Maximus.
In addition, all the high-ranking priests around Atlanta City, as well as the leaders of the Knights Templar, stood on either side of the long table with solemn expressions.
Maximos walked over to the front of the table and sat down, followed by the others.
Maximus coughed twice, and introduced with a solemn face: "You may also know that these two are members of the temple law enforcement team, and they have the supreme command given by the Pope, and all the temples must obey their command unconditionally until the person is caught, or it is confirmed that he has left here." ”
Hearing this, the two silver-robed enforcers stood up and nodded to everyone, and one of the silver-robed enforcers said in a hoarse voice: "If you find the trace of that person, you don't need to take action, you just need to report the news." ”
Everyone turned their eyes to Maximus, who nodded and said slowly, "What they say is as valid as mine. ”
"Yes!"
Maximus then nodded at the two enforcers and said, "They will fully cooperate with you, may the goddess protect us." ”
"May the goddess bless!" all the priests stood up and saluted solemnly.
Maximus nodded and left the chamber first.
Soon after, the Knights, led by the priests, left the temple and dispersed towards the perimeter of Atlanta.
Lilia did not deliberately slack off under the signal of Ari, and the entire security department was running at full capacity, and when entering and leaving the city, even the dung buckets had to be checked one by one.
This is not only because he doesn't want the temple to fall out, firstly, to see Gorgon's ability, and secondly, Eri also wants to take this opportunity to train the garrison in actual combat, anyway, no matter what the result is, it is not a bad thing for Atlanta City.
The affairs of the temple are naturally handled by Lilia, and the construction of Atlanta City is also being carried out in an orderly manner under the management of Lannis, Gardjev and others, and what Ari needs to deal with by himself is the affairs of the Youth Gang and the Academy.
It is said that it is two things, but in fact, it can also be classified as one thing.
The barbarian's affairs didn't matter, and Ari was just putting his little hand into the Atlanta Academy for a high-sounding excuse.
Now that the whole city is under martial law, it can be regarded as a wartime garrison, and it is also a dual order of the temple and the kingdom, no matter how unwilling Kotchard is, there is no way to keep Eri out of the academy management.
In this way, the importance of the barbarian tribe was greatly reduced, and Ari thought about it and called Eudora over.
"Boss, you're looking for me?" Eudora walked into Ari's office with a puzzled expression.
Ari smiled and said, "Well, there's something I need to do for you. ”
"What's the matter?" Eudora's eyes lit up when she heard Ari say this, and now he and Rollin were the most idle in the entire Young Boys' Gang.
Lilia is in charge of the security department, Gal is in charge of the town hall, and even Joffrey has a mercenary group, and he is busy all day.
Although there is still Luo Lin playing soy sauce with him, Luo Lin is originally a lazy character, and now everyone is too busy to pay attention to him, let alone how moisturizing he is every day.
He was the only one, as if he had lost his purpose, and had nothing to do.
"The barbarian tribe is a powerful force, and I need them to be used by Atlanta City completely, so I thought about it for a while and prepared to make you the barbarian king. ”
"Brute...... Barbarian King?" Eudora looked at Ari in a daze.
Ari nodded and confirmed, "Well, Barbarian King. The common king of all barbarians.
However, you have only one tribe, three hundred warriors.
The territory is all about fighting, and the clansmen are all about grabbing.
The support I can give you is super first-class equipment, and in the end, it is up to you how many people you can have under the barbarian king, and whether you can surpass Lilia. ”
"The barbarians will be under my control in the future?" Eudora listened to the drool, the strength of the barbarians is not comparable to that of ordinary human soldiers, if he can have five thousand barbarians under his command, even Lilia can only envy him in the future!
Ari nodded and said, "The entire Kawagebo Mountains are your battlefield, and it's up to you how many of your last territory you have." ”
Eudora imagined herself leading three hundred warriors across the Kawagebo Mountains, and she was completely stunned.
Leave the affairs of the barbarians to Eudora, and Ari can rest assured, the barbarians are basically reckless, and Eudora is stupid enough to have their appetite, and the barbarians don't dare to turn their faces with him, so there is no danger for Eudora to go to the barbarian tribe.
It's just that if you want to become a barbarian king, it is estimated that it is not that simple, and Eudora will definitely not have much comfort after the past.
To be on the safe side, Ari sent Dick, the captain of the family's samurai, to Eudora, and with such an experienced samurai, there would be no problems with the barbarians.
After making sure that nothing would go wrong, Ari went to Atlanta College alone.
Dean's Office.
Kochard watched Eri suddenly appear in the room, his face instantly turned ugly, he gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "This is Atlanta Academy!"
Ari sat down across from Kodhard and said happily, "Of course I know this is Atlanta Academy, but there is no house rule that prohibits the use of space magic. ”
Kochard looked at him coldly: "Don't think you're a magician, I can't do anything about you!"
"I'm not here for anything else, this time to officially inform you of something. As he spoke, Ari placed a scroll-like document stamped with the City Lord's seal in his hand in front of Kodhard, and said, "This is the wartime precaution order of the City Lord's Mansion, and from this moment on, the command of the Atlanta Academy will be transferred to the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord's Mansion has the right to requisition and deploy the teachers and students of Atlanta City. ”
Kotchard was furious when he heard this: "You are dreaming!"
Ari smiled lightly: "This is a wartime alert jointly confirmed by the kingdom and the temple, even if you refuse, the city lord's mansion has the right to mobilize all the power of Atlanta City, unless Atlantan City is disbanded now, could it be that you treat Atlantan City as your private property and act arbitrarily?"
Kotchard's eyes were split, and his magic was surging, but Ari didn't care, just leaned back comfortably in his chair and looked at Kotchard with a smile on his face.
After a long time, Kochard forcibly reined in his out-of-control magic and said in a cold voice: "Don't think that you can control the academy in this way, as long as you have the slightest transgression, don't even think about passing through me!"
Ari was a little helpless: "Vice President Kochard, I strongly doubt that you have persecution paranoia.
Could it be that everyone but you is thinking about harming the Academy?
Are you overestimating yourself and underestimating others?
How do you know that the academy will not become the top academy on the continent under my leadership?
With you, do you have what it takes to make the academy go global?
You can't, I can!"
"Give me one year and I can make Atlanta the best academy in the world!"
Give me five years, and I can make all the top geniuses on the continent proud to enter this academy.
Give me ten years, and I can be sure that the instructor of the Atlanta Academy must be the most intelligent magician, the most experienced samurai, and the most innovative inventor on the continent. ”
Kochard was stunned by Eri's words, and it took a long time before he snorted coldly and said, "No matter how great you say, your final goal is still to develop your own power." After a long time, Atlanta College was even directly swallowed up by you. ”
Ari didn't deny it, nodded, and said: "The development of Atlanta City needs Atlanta Academy, but Atlanta Academy can only go further with the help of Atlanta City's strength. ”
Kotchard looked angry: "You really think about this!"
Ari said with a serious face, "That's true, but is there any harm in doing so? When Atlanta City becomes stronger, the tide of Atlanta City is the trend of the mainland, the culture of Atlanta City is naturally the most advanced culture in the mainland, and the Atlanta Academy is naturally the most powerful college in the mainland. ”
"It's easy to say, a city of peace, a city of openness, but it's all your fantasy, your wishful thinking. ”
What if things don't go the way you think?
Kochard sneered: "No one is stupid, and no country will allow you a city to have such power.
In case you fail, before you become strong, Atlanta will be in ruins because of you.
And Atlanta College will also be devastated. ”
"Everything in the world needs to be chosen, and if you are complacent, you will only fall behind, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten.
You say I'm taking a risk, but do you know how the situation on the mainland will develop in the next five years?"
Ari stood up and sneered, "The Chaman Empire is already sunset, and disintegration is only a matter of the world.
When the Chaman Empire falls, will the Barak Kingdom still be in a safe corner?
The new neighbor is not a sick tiger like the Chaman Empire!
When the time comes, the old dean will be alone, will he be able to keep the academy?
Even if you can keep it, the old dean is already old!
How long can he keep it?
Have you thought about all these questions?"
