After reading this new information material, it was already time to return to the castle, and when he stepped out of the library door, Jiao Ming couldn't hold back after all, and asked Evan what his intentions were.

"Of course, it's to be more upright when you ask the crocodile leader for help in the future. Evan replied quickly, in a flirtatious tone, not so much insincere, as to tell you that I was talking nonsense.

Knowing that it was useless to ask, Jiao Ming had no choice but to hang this question in the background for the time being, sorting out the information in his mind and thinking about how to persuade Binglian and then convince the crocodile leader. However, unexpectedly, on the carriage back to the castle, the persuasion of the Ice Lotus went very smoothly, and only half of the content of the information was used to pull the already hesitant and swaying Ice Lotus into his camp.

In Emily's borrowing, in fact, Binglian already noticed something abnormal, but what she thought about was the idea of 'digging people', and even hoped that Emily would not be able to get along in the Blue Python Kingdom, and just teleported it back to the crocodile territory at the least cost to expand her own strength, but she didn't expect that the opponent was actually the royal family of the Blue Python Kingdom.

Jiao Ming, who had won a phased victory, breathed a sigh of relief and complained about why Binglian didn't say it earlier. Binglian smiled silently, took two documents, and read them in the bumpy and shaking carriage. Jiao Ming, on the other hand, remembered the floating carriage he had sat in on the way south, and considered whether to make one.

After dinner, he first asked Emily, who was addicted to magic research and did not come out, and Jiao Ming worked with Binglian to make a plan to persuade the crocodile to lead the decision-making level. After the plan was finalized, while completing the daily transfer of troops in the three places, she informed Ms. Ziyu of some basic information, and asked her to convene a meeting of the decision-making level tomorrow to discuss the matter.

After finishing his work, Jiao Ming returned to the laboratory and heard his master's question: "What did your little fiancée talk to you about again?"

At first glance, it sounds like a joke of concern, and there are no flaws in the tone and demeanor. However, knowing the cause and effect, Jiao Ming knew in his heart that this was undoubtedly a temptation, intended to know if the crocodile collar had noticed something. And from this cautious temptation, he could feel the helplessness and pretending to be strong of the beauty in front of him, and while Jiao Ming's desire to protect rose in his heart, he began to struggle with whether to tell the other party his plan.

However, this brief hesitation was enough to arouse Emily's suspicions, after all, she was already in a state of concentration waiting for feedback. Turning around, no longer pretending to concentrate on work, Emily raised her head slightly and stared at Jiao Ming's eyes, and said, "For the sake of studying the magic array together for so many days, don't hide anything from me." ”

Weakness and misery overflowed, Jiao Ming saw that his heart softened, sighed and sat down face to face, and said softly: "I do know something, but first, I want to ask you if you are willing to let the apprentice share your worries." ”

There was silence in the laboratory, and seeing that Emily was unmoved, Jiao Ming had no choice but to continue: "Maybe things are not as bad as you think. This sentence is true, not only because Jiao Ming, as a traverser, has an open-mindedness that nothing is important except death, but also because this is the conclusion reached after analyzing with Binglian just now.

Speaking sincerely, there is a special persuasiveness in her own way, and Emily's eyes gradually have a more hopeful look, starting with a sentence of 'I hope so', telling the information that she 'accidentally missed' a few days ago. As Jiao Ming guessed, although Emily forgot about the second half of the banquet after drinking the potion, she sat for a long time the next day, and she had already guessed the core purpose of the banquet and the identity of the main owner from the form of the banquet and the identities of each guest.

It's as if a bachelor in the 21st century is dragged into the table with a girl by a relative, and then the relatives disappear for lame reasons, and a person with a normal IQ can guess that this is a blind date even if he has not been told in advance. This world is hindered by feudal backwardness, although the blind date will be slightly complicated and twisty and has more rules, but there are also formulas to follow, and Emily only came back to her taste afterwards, and she is one of the few who are slow to respond.

"Don't you want to marry a prince and become a future queen at all? Jiao Ming asked solemnly, this point must be confirmed.

"Do you think I'm one of those vain little silly girls, not to mention that scumbag is hornier than that old bastard in Keno. Emily was puffed, apparently because aristocratic etiquette restricted the use of dirty words, so she had to put her anger in her tone.

"Have you seen the Blue Python Prince?"

"Maybe I did. Emily's answer was rather strange, and without waiting for Jiao Ming's questioning, she recalled: "On my first day here, I was stopped by a man who claimed to be a member of the prince's staff, and promised me a lot of glory and wealth, on the condition that I would sleep with me for a few nights. ”

"This can't be a liar, right?" Jiao Ming was surprised by this arrogant pimp who was comparable to a Japanese action movie scout, "You weren't wearing a magic robe at the time?"

"I didn't wear the one with the seven-ring emblem, because I took it to the Wizards' Guild to change the ring. Emily explained, and continued, "At first I thought it was a liar, and a little magic drove him away, but the next day in the academy, the man led a few men to point at me from a distance, and now I think there may be His Royal Highness the Prince in civilian clothes." And in the days that followed, it was accidentally confirmed that the person was indeed the dog leg of the royal family of the kingdom, and there were many scandals about His Royal Highness the Prince, you must know that in the office, those middle-aged women like to talk about this kind of thing the most. ”

"It's really an unappetizing first impression. Jiao Ming sighed first, and then told the information about the prince on his side and the two possibilities of causing the effect of the aphrodisiac, "To be honest, Binglian actually has no experience in mixing potions, I always thought that it was her hand that made that result by coincidence." But now it seems that His Royal Highness the Prince should have a plan. ”

"After I'm done with my matter, it's time to talk about the attitude of the crocodile leader, I don't know how the royal family of the Blue Python Kingdom put pressure on you. Emily asked, trying to hide it, but still showing impatience and unease.

"We didn't receive any official correspondence at all, and we weren't embarrassed in private. Jiao Ming shrugged his shoulders in the other party's surprised and scrutinizing gaze, and repeated the original sentence: "Things may not be as bad as you think." ”

Emily first looked incredulous, seeing that Jiao Ming didn't seem to be lying, then turned into puzzlement, furrowed her slender eyebrows, and then habitually grabbed her long pale blonde hair into a chicken coop, and only after a long time did she look up and ask, "Do you know any other information?"

This funny hairstyle will appear whenever there is a problem in research, and Jiao Ming, who is used to it, has no interest in complaining, and said: "It's just that I did some analysis based on public information." ”

"Tell me about it. "It's about herself, how can Emily not pay attention to it.

"Then we have to start with the relationship between Vice President Sasu and the alchemist, which is both contradictory and cooperative......"

......

After dinner the next day, in the crocodile leader Changteng Town on the peninsula at the northwest tip of the mainland, the newly built conference hall next to the entertainment city was illuminated by magic lights, and a group of middle-aged and elderly men and women in coarse cloth clothes sat below. And Binglian, as the young lord of the crocodile leader, was talking endlessly on the stage, seizing the opportunity to show her ability to the subordinate families.

Combined with the information obtained from the parties yesterday, the overall situation of the incident was described in as much detail as possible, leaving a short time for everyone to digest the information, and before they were about to start analyzing the pros and cons, there was a middle-aged man who returned to the crocodile collar for cultivation due to a broken arm and leg and asked in a daze:

"How powerful is the Blue Python Kingdom? How many are the nine rings? How many are the eight rings?"

"There are ten Nine-Ring powerhouses, and there are countless Eight-Ring Magicians. Binglian replied, but Jiao Ming, who was next to him, had a lot of feelings about this kind of earthy bun in his heart, and suddenly he seemed to see the small leader of the African tribe asking the patriarch what the nuclear bomb was.

Of course, such a contrast of strength caused an uproar.

Since the Advanced Magic Academy, which was established as a cradle of talents to deal with foreign wars, can be established in the Blue Python Kingdom, its position in the union of kingdoms is self-evident, and the top three are appropriate. If the whole kingdom is united and compared to the European Union, the Blue Python Kingdom is the level of Britain, France and Germany, and as for the crocodile territory, it is probably comparable to the local power that runs rampant in a province in a few small countries whose names cannot be remembered.

Don't look at the crocodile collar with three magic warriors, the miscellaneous books and codex in the academy library let Jiao Ming know that the magic warrior class has a bit of a chicken taste in the traditional cognition. For example, at the beginning, the Xu Qin people defeated the crocodile with a nine-ring qi magician, General Kvenans.

After all, a magic warrior is a pure melee class without auxiliary means, and can only be bombed from a distance in magic battles. Unfortunately, the former crocodile led the backwoods of the Stone Age, with only two iron knives, one long and one short, that could not provide the equipment to match these brave and durable magical warriors.

In the face of the sudden noisy scene, Binglian slapped the table to make everyone quiet, but unfortunately it was ineffective, but fortunately, Ms. Ziyu, who was already worried, and Ms. Pinner, who was in a wheelchair, joined forces to restore the order of the meeting.

"Although the Blue Python Kingdom is strong, we don't have to worry too much about Master Emily. Secretly remembering this mistake, Binglian sorted out her thoughts and began to convince everyone as planned. "First of all, we have a strong ally, and over there is Vice President Sasu. ”

By the way, he boasted about Vice President Sasu's great achievements, and the confusion and panic in everyone's eyes gradually disappeared.

"Some people may think, will Vice President Sassu really support Master Emily?" Ice Lotus's gaze scanned the audience in an attempt to achieve the best effect, and then continued: "My answer is yes! The reason is that the relationship between Vice President Sassu and the alchemist is both contradictory and cooperative. ”

Since most of the listeners below are small and medium-sized lords who have never seen the world, the following persuasion process has been interrupted many times, and some small science popularization has to be carried out. However, Ice Lotus, who was getting better, still expressed all the information provided by Evan and the analysis made by the two yesterday.

The Wizards' Association, like all large organizations, is full of factions and infighting, but it remains in a state of fighting but not breaking, the 'internal fighting' is because of the inevitable internal contradictions, and the 'unbroken' is because the external contradictions are greater than the internal contradictions.

According to the information provided by Evan, Vice President Sasu and the Alchemist are no exception, both fighting and killing, and even more intimate cooperation, not to mention the metal trade, under the huge scarcity, even Sasu, who is as strong as the Nine Rings, must be soft and obediently buy metal from the Alchemist.

On the other hand, there are not a few people in history who have realized alchemy, after all, the first alchemists also came over like this. The usual practice of alchemists is to use marriage to win over, and Evan swears that there are no more than three cases of direct killers in hundreds of years of history. But if Sasu gets the alchemy secret technique, then everything will be different, the interdependence will be weakened, and it is not impossible for the Magician Association to split into two major forces under the intensification of contradictions, and this is the fundamental reason why Ice Lotus was assassinated. As for why the assassination stopped, it was that Vice President Sassu secretly made a compromise and vouched for his reputation that he would not actively or passively explore the secret art of alchemy.

Emily's research touches on this problem from another aspect. Drastically reducing the amount of metal materials used in the floating circle, and further reducing the amount in other circles, will undoubtedly give Vice President Sasu an advantage in the game with the alchemist. It's as if a person who is stuck in the neck has found a way to reduce the body's oxygen needs, and is bound to struggle even harder. But the neck is stuck after all, but the two sides will not turn their faces and break up, and the result of the struggle will only be that the alchemist will cede part of his interests and set the price of the metal with a new supply and demand relationship.

Therefore, there is no doubt that Master Emily is valued by Vice President Sassou. Jiao Ming guessed that the royal family of the Blue Python Empire had died down, as if nothing had happened, and it was likely that they had received a warning from Vice President Sasu. Even if it is held a day in advance, although the blind date will not be temporarily canceled, it must be larger and the guest status will be higher, and the medicine must be genuine. After all, at the blind date, everyone didn't know that Emily came out of the office of several old men such as Sasu.

At the end of the speech, Binglian said in a loud voice: "All in all, until there are further theoretical results in Master Emily's research, it is a sure deal to give shelter and provide research support. If Emily's research is successful, what she will gain is the friendship between Master Emily and Vice President Sasu, and if the research fails, we can officially recruit Master Emily, as the youngest eight-ring qi magician, there is no doubt about entering the nine-ring. And what we have to face is the hostility of the alchemist lineage, but those people have long hated the crocodile collar because of me, and the second is the ambiguous resistance of the Blue Python Kingdom, after all, it is just a blind date failure, there is no reason to be on the table, and there will not be much action. ”

In the face of this prepared preaching, everyone in the audience has been completely convinced, and they are nodding their heads one after another. Seeing this, Jiao Ming immediately stood up and applauded with rhythm, and then the applause changed from sparse to warm, drawing a successful end to the meeting.
