Since you are arrogant, you will naturally let your guard down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThat's why Roddy smiled heartily at the mages next to him—even if they weren't comfortable laughing at him.

Roddy's cargo from Ivota wasn't much. Because it was only the first diplomatic visit and contact, and large-scale trade had not yet begun, a dozen wagons were enough to load all the "specialties" he had brought. Among them, Roddy also played a trick: on the "Karen Kingdom Trade Bill", he did not mark such strange things as "cobalt gold mine" and "charged spar" to the Rasiman Council, but handed them over to Houdini to be responsible.

Therefore, Roddy's group can actually be called "lightly armed", but in about twenty minutes, the large army was loaded, he and the five mages who greeted him walked in front, and the whole team slowly began to "trek" along the road.

At the same time, Houdini was unclear what had happened to Roddy's team. He was now standing in the port's handling office, frowning at the head of the port who was looking down at a stack of logbooks, and said, "What do you mean?

"Yes, that's a parliamentary decision. Once you've turned in your logbook and the minutes of the meetings you negotiated in the kingdom of Karen, your work is done. Master Houdini, there's nothing left for you here. ”

Before Houdini led the fleet to leave, the other party also invited him to eat at the expensive "Castec Fireplace" restaurant in the city, and this guy was full of all kinds of flattery between his words, but now when he came back, he was cold as if he had never met him, and this contrast caught Houdini a little off guard, so that he stood here stunned for a long time.

You must know that when you return from such a large-scale state visit, you will inevitably have to make a public speech at the "parliament." Not only did he have to report on the visit, but he also had to explain his impressions of the kingdom of Karen - in any way, his speech would have given Rasiman an idea of how much importance he attached to the future of the kingdom of Karen, so Houdini had prepared this speech with good intentions and for a long time.

Being able to speak at a meeting can be regarded as a kind of political qualification. If any position is selected in the future, it will be a strong stroke... But now, I have been deprived of this qualification!

"What's the matter with the rest of you? Master Houdini, you can go first if it's okay. ”

The urging words woke him up suddenly, and Houdini clenched his hands into fists and slowly released them, wanting to say something, but finally chose to turn away.

By this time, Roddy's team had gone in the other direction, and Houdini wasn't worried about what would happen to Raciman's reception, he just felt now... My good mood has become gray.

The Blunka Academy did not arrange a special team to greet him, and Houdini had expected this, so he had to pay for a carriage out of his own pocket like Roddy did, and pull his students along with the "exchange students" of the Cullen Kingdom.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten to let the transporters pull in the heavily guarded "cobalt gold mine" - it wasn't on the business-to-business trade list anyway, and no one in Rasiman would have thought that Roddy would hand over such a valuable thing directly to Houdini.

And Master Houdini, who had finally returned to his hometown, was thinking about his next plan: he wanted to go back to the academy first, have a brief chat with the dean of the academy, and then explain the pros and cons to the members of the academy, and reveal to them what he really found - at least in Houdini's mind, whether it was cobalt gold ore or charged spar, which one would be enough for Blunka Academy to have more say in the council.

With them, it may not be a problem to return to the parliamentary seat when the time comes!

Such an idea does not conflict with his cooperation with Roddy, after all, Blunka College is the alma mater that nurtured him, and Houdini's thoughts are perfectly normal.

However, when he finally returned to Brenca, he found that the people he knew well around him were deliberately dodging him.

Naturally, he didn't know that during this time, because of the "daily deduction" of the members of the Barlenna College, remarks about Houdini's "collaborating with the enemy and treason" naturally spread all over the streets. The main thing is... knew that Houdini was a member of the Blunka Academy, but the members of the academy did not dare to refute each other in the parliament, and they didn't even dare to come back to refute the rumors, so that the three of them became tigers, and most people really took this ridiculous duty as a fact!

Unaware, Houdini only felt that he was running into a wall everywhere, and finally grabbed the individual and asked the dean and councillor if they were in the academy, but the answer was that "the senior management of the academy is not here today"...

It's simply not possible. No matter how stupid Houdini is, he will not take such a statement seriously, he understands that this is just rhetoric, and he guesses that if he goes directly to the top of the magic tower to find them, he will also be turned away.

"Forget it, then I won't look for it yet. ”

He smiled reluctantly, and the words he was about to say were held back. After making simple arrangements for the magicians of the Karen Kingdom, Houdini returned to his residence somewhat disappointed.

Magicians are mostly single, as is Houdini. Because of his high status in the academy, he was placed in a separate courtyard. However, when he asked the convoy carrying cobalt gold ore to stop in front of the yard, he frowned and took an envelope from the mailbox at the door.

The content of the letter was a notice from Blunka College's internal decision to disqualify Houdini's housing. However, Blunca College did not go too far, but only "downgraded" Houdini's treatment, ordering him to move to another neighborhood called "Tanyak" by mid-October.

Houdini was no stranger to the place, he lived there before he became a "senior lecturer". It is equivalent to saying that Brenka Academy has reduced his treatment to the stage of "intermediate lecturer" - that is, the penultimate level of more than ten grades of the academy.

The leaders thought that this was saving face for Houdini, but they didn't realize that this behavior was basically equivalent to "humiliation" - a good Magister who came back from a mission was dealt with directly without even having the right to defend himself...

Who would accept such an arrangement?

As Houdini stood in front of the courtyard, he suddenly felt a little ridiculous. When he was in Ivta, he saw that Roddy and the others faced the threat of war every day, people died every day, and there was pressure from all sides every day... As for Rasiman, who was trivial and profiteous, he had to face open guns and arrows from his own people, and even slander and humiliation. (To be continued.) )
