() The core meeting room in the first ring area of the National Library of the Silver Mountain on May 19, 1675

The eight most powerful people in the Snowy Federation once again gathered together to discuss an important national event

This Regunor is too disagreeable, didn't he come back yesterday, why didn't he come to the meeting, the Minister of Personnel Cressuratis, said with some anger, everyone knows that there are conflicts with Reguno, and among the core members, she is the most disgusted with Reguno, and she wants to put Regunor down at any time

I have already sent someone to inform him, but Reguno said that there was an important guest at home and could not come to the meeting, and the vice president, Moko Garni, said helplessly

What is this, is it more important that there are guests in his house than a major state event, since he entered the core of power, there have been several core meetings, and the head of the general rector, the head of discipline, Shuvashenki, who he is not absent, turned to the head of the school, Kasenlov, you can no longer indulge him, he must be severely punished, at least to be driven out of the core of power

In the face of Shuvashenki's suggestion, Kasenlov did not speak, of course, he would not categorically dismiss Reguno, because he knew that the guests brought back by Reguno must be related to the important secret hidden in Reguno, and this cunning headmaster had his own calculations in his heart

Yes, don't forget, this disaster was caused by himself, he should have come over in person to explain it clearly, and then said that there were guests who did not come to the meeting, Crissuratis, said that he was too arrogant, Crissuratis, what he said was that early this morning, the Central Church of the Holy Light Sect and the other eleven major countries except for the Kingdom of Pole jointly signed a letter of state, which said that Reguno Gagarin drove a floating plane with a military nature without the permission of the country where he was located to break into the territory of the Kingdom of Pole, this behavior is regarded as a violation of the sovereign letter of the Holy Light Sect, and finally asked the Snowy Federation to explain the truth of the matter clearly, and the culprit Reguno Gagarin was handed over to the Central Church for disposal, otherwise it will be rightThe Snowy Federation uses force

This is all a pretext for those hypocritical theologians, Axelina plays a round for Reguno, she is the only alchemist in the core of power, and the only person who can talk to Reguno, obviously it is their Central Church and the other two countries to invade the Kingdom of Pole, which is counted on the head of our Snowy Federation

Although this is the case, there is a lot of pressure on our External Relations Department, and Stephen, the head of the External Relations Department, said that after all, it is indeed our airship that has entered other people's territory, and no matter how you explain it, we are the one who is at the loss in terms of diplomacy

The Principal looked at the Minister of Intelligence, Beta Tier, who immediately understood what he meant, and said: According to the report of the intelligence officers I left in the Holy Light Sect country, since the Kingdom of Pole was destroyed by the Fayale Empire, After the coalition of the Kingdom of St. Oluffi and the Knights Templar was defeated and taken over, the daily production of the largest grain-producing country was severely affected and led to an increase in food prices in various countries, although Duris, who established himself as King of Pole, announced some new policies to stimulate agriculture, but these policies were not immediate, and I have analyzed the information obtained by Guò, and it is estimated that the society of these Holy Illuminati countries will increase food prices by an average of 20% in the next two years. Left and right will inevitably lead to social unrest, Berta Tier paused, he saw the headmaster look at him with approval, and Beta Tier went on to say that turning internal contradictions into external contradictions is a method used by many countries to solve social unrest, so it can be concluded that the Holy Light Cult is the same this time

Minister Bertatir meant that the Cult of the Holy Light was not just a threat to us, but would definitely take military action, and the Minister of War Leslinto asked

Indeed, in a sense, even without Reguno, they would have attacked us in the same way, but with a different excuse, Betatetier replied

Even if, as Minister Betatier has said, the Central Church is to avoid the possible social unrest that may arise from them over the food problem, and that Cressuratiss has made an absurd suggestion that if it were not for Regunor's unauthorized actions, they would not have found this reason, and as long as Regunor handed him over, they would have no excuse to attack us

It's naïve, ma'am, Chancellor Kasenlov coldly rejected Chrissuratis's feeble suggestion, how could there be any reason to hand over the core officials of our country to the enemy, not to mention that even if he did, the Pope would use other reasons to attack our church, and he would have hated us atheists who did not believe in gods

But...... Chrisuradis remained unrelenting

Forget Kasenlov's interruption of Cressuratis, Reguno's affairs will be handled by me, this war must be fought, and Minister Weco Stanley is preparing for the war

Vecodan put his hand on the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "Since the last time I learned of the warning left by Regunor, I have begun to prepare for war, and in the two places where the enemy is most likely to attack, the Ice Strait and the Valley of Sin, the two places where the enemy is most likely to attack, have been stationed to guard all the alchemists of the silver level and above in the country, and are working day and night to produce magic dolls and other magic potions for war

Well, the headmaster nodded affirmatively, and then the next issue we want to discuss is the specific military deployment......

The meeting was a marathon discussion that lasted twelve hours

Regunor was not at all interested in these formal meetings, he already knew what the final result of such meetings would be, and he didn't bother to look at the faces of those high-ranking officials, to be honest, he didn't really want to be the head of the research department, in Reguno's eyes, this high-ranking official position that many people dream of was just a little more meaningful to him when he studied magic in the first ring area, Regunor was a person who had no interest in politics, he never thought of becoming the nine most powerful people in the country, it was the headmaster Kasenlov who forced him into the core of power, Regunor knew that the chief did not do this to praise his magical talents as he said to the public, butIn the face of a heavy secret that he had kept in his heart for twelve years, the headmaster tolerated his deviant behavior again and again, and the headmaster always supported Regunor under pressure in the core meeting, all in order to get that secret

Headmaster Kasenlov is a cunning old fox, Regunor knows very well that at the beginning Kasenlov thought that he would get the secret by giving him a few small favors, but he was wrong, Regunor didn't think that those were favors to himself, and usually Kasenlov always intentionally or unintentionally asked Regunor about the secret, but each time it ended in failure

Kasenlov was very upset about this, but Reguno didn't care about it at all, because he had more important things to do

After returning from the kingdom of Pole, Regunor began to prepare for the potential assessment of the children he had brought, and he felt that everything was a fetter of fate, and that since he had taken over the children from Putnin, they would step by step on the path of their own destiny, and in a few years they would all become dazzling stars, and they would continue to complete the unfinished tasks of Regunor and Putnain and the other five companions twelve years ago, so how to raise these children to become adults was the most important task for Reguno in the years to come

Although Reguno is the most senior mage of the Snowy Federation, he does not plan to let these five children develop on the path of mage, because each person's potential is different, some focus on magic, some focus on battle, and Reguno hopes to explore the respective strengths and potentials of these children through guò potential identification, so that they can grow up on their own path

Among the five children, Owen, who inherited Puternin's life, has long been designated as Paternin's successor, and he will be sent to train as a paladin, so Owen will not have to undergo a potential assessment, so the potential assessment will be carried out among the other four children

On this day, Regunor did not attend the core meeting, just to prepare for the potential appraisal of the four children, and came to the magic demonstration field to prepare, the process of potential appraisal is quite complicated, it takes at least a day to evaluate the potential of one person, not to mention four people, so Reguno's preparation is quite a lot, and he has been busy in the magic demonstration field all day

Feeling the footsteps of someone behind him, Reguno stopped what he was doing and turned around

Oh, Principal, why don't you say anything when you're here

Hehe, I'm afraid it's the headmaster Kasenlov who interferes with your work

It's okay, I'm almost done, Reguno smiled softly

A top-notch magician like you came to such a novice place, and Kasenlov said that he had taken in an apprentice

Suffice it to say, it is also possible that Regunor replied noncommittally, indeed, if none of the four children had the potential to be magicians, none of them would become Regunor's apprentices

But Kasenlov frowned, he understood Reguno's words as perfunctory to him, but he did not express it in his words: I heard that you sailed the airship out privately to bring back a few children, and they are all apprentices you chose to return

I brought back a few children, but not necessarily all of them were apprentices

These children must be very magically gifted, otherwise how would you risk causing an international war to do that?

I don't know if the kids have magical talents, but you see I'm about to test them for their potential

If it weren't for their incredible magical talents, Kasenlov smiled imperceptibly, then they must have something to do with that important secret of yours

Here again came Reguno, perceiving the true intentions of the Headmaster: I had said many times before that there were no important secrets

You don't have to lie to me, I know that you had an adventure in the Demon Continent twelve years ago, and since then you have kept an important secret, why do you always refuse to tell me

I repeat it again and hopefully for the last time: there are no secrets

In the face of Reguno's categorical refusal, Kasenlov was a little angry, but in a flash, a sneer appeared on his lips: Since you became the Minister of Research, you have almost missed every core meeting, and you have repeatedly acted on your own to cause disasters, and many people are very dissatisfied with this, do you know that I helped you survive under pressure

Oh, I see, then I'd like to thank the Headmaster, Reguno looked like he was in a state of realization

Actually, I also know that you have a hard time, Kasenlov finally had a showdown, probably about that secret, so why don't you tell it and let me help you solve it together, if there is no enough reason, I really can't help you anymore

There is really no secret in Reguno, if the headmaster thinks it is too tiring to defend me like this, then just remove me as the head of research, anyway, in the eyes of others, I am very incompetent

You...... In the face of this ignorant Regunor Kasenlov once again suppressed his anger that was about to erupt, and the true country on the vast continent has a saying: Toast and don't eat and punish wine, have you heard of it

Oh, Regunor looked at Kasenlov with interest, wondering what he was going to say next

Early this morning, the Central Church sent me a letter jointly signed by all the countries of the Holy Light Sect, saying that you and your airship have violated the territory of the Pole Kingdom, and if you don't hand it over, you will attack our country on a large scale

Reguno's face changed drastically: What do you mean by this, is it a threat to me?

Not a threat, a warning, but--seeing the change in Reguno's face, Kasenlov was very proud, if you would tell the secret, or I will continue to help you, seeing Reguno's face became more and more somber, Kasenlov felt that he was already confident, he already had an important handle on this kid, and there was no reason why he should not comply

Regunor looked around with a stern expression

Kasenlov noticed Reguno's gaze and knew what Regunor was looking at: No, I had already taken the people around me away before I came in, and I also cast a soundproof spell on the surroundings, and now there are only two of us in the magic demonstration room, you can tell the secret without worry, no one can eavesdrop

There really is no one, Reguno nodded reassuringly and sighed, then even the most important secrets are known only to the two of us, and it seems that I have to say it now

Kasenlov waited triumphantly for Regunor to tell the secret, and as long as he had this handle, he could not imagine any possibility of Regunor's refusal

However, Kasenlov overestimated himself and underestimated his opponent too much.
