Nolan.

Joshua was honored to be a part of Nolan's Council of the Sages.

This council is the supreme meeting that will decide the future direction of the city of Nolan, but what is decided today seems to be... The future direction of this world.

"I explored the Edelweiss Mountains deep in the Frost Plains with an expedition to the Land of Frost... Inside, there are a lot of remnants of gray mist. ”

The Man in Blue spread out a map on the long table, explaining his research to the other sages.

"There's also been a recent outbreak of a plague related to the Grey Mist in the Land of Frost, and those damn guys only know how to do these shady things, and my students haven't been able to calm down lately!"

Sophia, the chief apprentice of the Yellow One, is also a native of the Frost Country, and a member of the Silver Frostfox Family, the central family of this plague event.

"The plague in the Land of Frost is indeed very strange, but... I'm worried about what the Inquisitors are doing in the world of consciousness. ”

The man in black said and looked at Qiao Xiu, who was sitting in the corner of the Sage Council, including the other sages who also looked at Qiao Xiu at this time.

Qiao Xiu felt the gaze of the seven sages, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but Ciri, who had come with Qiao Xiu to participate in this council, suddenly stood up.

"You're the sages of Nolan! It's not like I'm eating in Nolan! ”

Ciri's hands rested on the long stone table of the Council of the Sages, an act that was already a serious provocation to the Council of the Sages, according to the tradition of the previous council.

But none of the sages sitting there spoke out against Ciri, not even the most unsociable man in red.

"Isn't it the quickest way to find a cure for the plague? No matter who you are, your alchemy attainments are higher than Qiao Xiu's, right? ”

In fact, when Ciri heard that the sages invited Qiao Xiu to participate in the Sage Council, her first reaction was not to feel any honor and trepidation, but to ask Qiao Xiu directly, "Are you going to take on the main quest again?" ’

As a result, after coming to the Council of Sages, as Ciri expected, the sages pinned their hopes on Qiao Xiu, as if Qiao Xiu was the only savior in the world.

Ciri admits that this setting is very good to watch in it, and it feels really good to be noticed and pinned on by so many people, but it is completely different to actually be a party.

"And..."

"Ciri, Ciri, change me."

Joshua pulled the corner of Lahiri's clothes, Ciri was almost two months pregnant, and although the physical reaction was not great, the less negative emotions in everything, the better.

Ciri took a deep breath and walked back to sit in his place.

Qiao Xiu put his hand on the stone table again and glanced at the sages present.

"As you can see, I've done you a lot of help, such as building an amusement park, suppressing the 'gates' that the Inquisitors have built."

In fact, Qiao Xiu had this feeling since the construction of Arthur Crowe Amusement Park, especially when Qiao Xiu took a large number of people to the base of the Ascendant to smash the field.

From that day on, the way the man in blue looked at himself was no longer the eyes of his predecessors looking at his juniors, but as if he was looking at a great prophet, a hero who guided mankind to the right path.

But Qiao Xiu's positioning is very clear.

"But it's just doing some small work, and I'm just typing code, or making movies." Qiao Xiu said.

If it weren't for the whereabouts of the New World Tree, Qiao Xiu might still be lying in the Hearthstone Tavern drinking chilled watermelon juice and making a copy with Ciri.

Part of the reason Joshua wrote the rift in the world was to ward off the gray fog, but more... I still want to play it myself!

More precisely, I want to play MMORPG with friends in this world.

"Another thing is, I'm only twenty years old this year, well, almost twenty-one, but for you, I probably haven't even graduated from the High School of Magic at this age, right?"

Joshua vaguely remembered that Ciri's sister Herlan was twenty-two years old, and she was still studying at the Higher School of Magic in Lursk.

When Qiao Xiu said his true age, the gray-clothed man and the purple-clothed man both showed surprised expressions, maybe they didn't expect Qiao Xiu's age to be so young!

The man in yellow had already burst out laughing when he heard this, and his laughter was very loud, a bit like sarcasm and a bit like self-deprecation.

"Look at you! They are almost 200 years old, but they will only pin their hopes on a young man of 20 years old! The man in yellow said.

"But Mr. Qiao Xiu has indeed created countless miracles, and his achievements have nothing to do with his age."

The man in blue has never despised anyone because of his age, at least everything that Qiao Xiu has built up to resist the gray fog is enough for the man in blue to call Mr. Qiao Xiu with a respectful attitude.

"But that's not a reason for us to sit here! Do you really regard Qiao Xiu as a god? The man in yellow had no intention of continuing to open this council, and he stood up to leave.

"Since my student wants to go back to China, I'll just accompany her to go back." The man in yellow left this sentence and walked down the stairs of the Sage's Tower.

"Maybe I should go and meet with the King of the Iron Country, and I can't let the plague get worse."

The man in blue put away the map he had placed on the table, but he still glanced at Qiao Xiu before leaving.

"The only thing I can help with this plague is to make a movie to slightly affect the direction of public opinion, but the hatred between the Iron Nation and the frost really needs to be mediated by the leader."

Qiao Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said that he could not do anything about the cure of the plague.

The man in blue didn't say anything more, just practiced a mage ritual to Joe and left, while the man in black left with the man in blue.

"Moshiraf." The gray-clothed man only looked at the red-clothed man who was still sitting in his seat, he was the one with the highest attainment in alchemy among the seven sages.

"I've been investigating the plague for a long time! How could I possibly rely on this kid! I was about to start preparing the healing pills when you called me back. ”

The red-clothed man's attitude towards Qiao Xiu was still not very friendly, and he also understood that there was no point in staying in the Sage Council this time, and he directly stood up and left the council.

The man in white, who had been sitting at the head of the council, let out a long sigh after the man in red had gone.

"Sometimes I really wish I could be younger." Said the man in white.

He was the oldest of all the sages, and his rickety body seemed to fall down when the wind blew it.

But the existence of the One in White is Nolan's order... The leaders of all countries have absolute respect for this legendary mage, including the king of the land of the sea.

"Look at it this way... All I can do is manage Owl Express and the city. The man in gray said.

"And the caster's pulpit, uh... Can I go if there's nothing going on? I haven't eaten lunch yet. ”

In fact, when these sages were discussing the issue of the spread of gray mist, Qiao Xiu's mind was full of thinking about whether to eat fried chicken or barbecue at noon today.

Now Qiao Xiu has come to a conclusion, that is, to eat hot pot.
