Chapter 248: I Don't Accept It
Burns this time came to the meeting for the mercenary leader Marcus Ogu, but he didn't expect to encounter the replacement of the chief archmage, Herbert is indeed a little old, originally Herbert retired and the most likely to take over the position of the chief archmage is Cecil, the deputy head of the wolf warrior mercenary group, and if Herbert can hold on for a few more years, Burns will be Cecil's biggest competitor, but he didn't expect to kill an Alan out of thin air and take away the position of the chief archmage without even saying hello, which makes the eyes always above the top, How could Burns, who had no one in his eyes, not be annoyed, he wanted to jump up and oppose it a long time ago, but Herbert's words calmed him down again, although he was arrogant, he was not stupid, his strength was still far behind Herbert, if the young man in front of him, who was at least ten years younger than him, was really stronger than Herbert, then he jumped out just to bring humiliation on himself. However, it is very likely that Herbert is deliberately exaggerating just to push him to the top, how can the strength of such a young magician be above Herbert?
Just when Burns was indignant, ready to explode and worried, Quentin sat down next to him, and said in a dismissive tone:
"I really don't understand what this alchemist has other abilities besides making some magical equipment to please the family master, and he actually deceived the family master into trusting him and became the chief archmage. β
Quentin's words undoubtedly poured oil on a fire that was almost extinguished, and Burns's body rose to its feet like flames.
"My lord, I have something to say. β
Burns's voice was loud, and it caught Holland's attention at once.
"Oh?" Holland saw that it was Burns who stood up, his face showed a hint of surprise, he thought that the first to jump out against it would be those older and senior old people, because they would instinctively dislike young people in power, but he didn't expect it to be a young man, but he was quickly relieved when he thought of Burns's status as a magician.
If it weren't clear that Eren was fine, what magician would be convinced?
"If you have anything to say, just say it. β
Holland said with a straight face.
"Your Excellency. As the chief archmage of the ancient city of Aogucheng, you must have the strength to overpower the others, and it is said that Mage Kanter has always specialized in alchemy, and alchemy is only a tool to make money in the eyes of real magicians, and does not represent real magical strength. β
Burns took a few steps forward, his contemptuous gaze swept over Allen, and then spoke to Holancest. The eyes of the others were immediately attracted by his words, and everyone secretly exclaimed in their hearts, "Okay! β
This is the first challenge that Alan has faced to become the chief archmage, and it is also a challenge from his own people, everyone is curious to see how things will develop, and how Alan will face it, of course, there are some people who gloat, and even hope that Alan will make a fool of himself, and it is better to lose face, so that Horanster will continue his appointment without face.
"Alan, is that what he said?"
Instead of answering Burns directly, Holland threw the question directly at Allen. Although with the full support of himself and Herbert, it is almost certain that Alan will become the chief archmage, but whether Alan can establish his prestige in this position still depends on his own strength and skill, and this may be a good opportunity. Holancest, while believing Allen can submit Burns, wants to see what he'll do.
"My lord, he's right, alchemy is indeed my specialty. β
To everyone's surprise, Alan not only did not refute, but generously admitted the other party's evaluation of himself.
"My lord, since Master Kanter himself admits that he is actually an alchemist, then I think that an alchemist is more suitable to develop in the mines in the Capra Mountains, and let him be the chief archmage, I am not convinced. β
Seeing that Eren was powerless to refute, Burns immediately became smug, and began to inch in, trying to drive Eren into Capra Hill to be with the monsters.
"Burns can't make a mistake. β
Herbert couldn't help but stop when he saw Burns's arrogant attitude. Burns is also a junior he admires very much, the thirties of the dual-line senior magician is already very outstanding, but that is compared with ordinary magicians, if compared with the unique talent of Allen, it is not a little bit different, thinking that in Triumph City, Allen dealt with two great swordsmen with the strength of one person, if it were not for the intervention of the dragon Red Duoli, I am afraid that the two great swordsmen would not only not be able to stop him, but also lose their lives, Herbert was very worried about Burns's behavior, he didn't want to see a very promising magician end up in self-inflicted humiliation because of a moment of recklessnessγ
"I'm sorry, Archmage, but in order to verify that Master Kanter has the strength of the Chief Archmage, I decided to challenge him. β
Burns obviously didn't understand Herbert's kindness, and thought that Herbert was helping Alan speak, so he stubbornly refused Herbert's dissuasion, and took off the white gloves on his hands and threw them at Allen.
Horanster and Herbert's eyes widened together, they remembered that when they first met Allen, a low-level mercenary who didn't know the height of the sky had challenged Allen in this way, and it turned out to be a big joke, but they didn't expect that today when Allen became the chief archmage, this scene would be repeated again, which made them a little unbearable to watch what happened next.
The truth is as unbearable as the two expected. The glove that had been flying towards Allen changed its route somehow, and suddenly floated to Nelson, the leader of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment.
"What, Burns, are you going to challenge me?"
Nelson shook his tall stature, glared at Burns, and asked angrily.
"I'm sorry, Lord Nelson, I didn't mean that. β
Burns didn't expect the gloves to be thrown on Nelson's body, so he quickly apologized, and stepped forward to retrieve the gloves and throw them out again.
"OMG!"
Herbert closed his eyes again, he couldn't bear to look at them anymore.
"Burns, are you crazy?"
This time, the gloves were thrown directly into the face of Walker, the leader of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Regiment.
By the time Burns apologized again and retrieved the gloves, his sweat was all down, it was all too abnormal, he was in the conference room, surrounded by walls, there was no wind blowing, how could he even throw a glove wrong? However, the result was not as good as the last time, not only did the Wind Binding Technique fail to control the path of the glove's flight, but directly drew an arc and flew to the body of Quentin, the sheriff who was gloating on the side.
"Burns, are you going to do it?"
Quentin rubbed his nose that was beaten so badly, Burns wasn't crazy, he was almost mad, watching the shrewd and capable guy do things with no brains at all.
