15 Council of the Six Towers

When Luna placed the last S-class pyroxene in the groove of the circle, it was ten minutes before the meeting began. Brooklyn, the director of the Mage Tower? Arquette nodded at her and beckoned her to sit down beside her.

Shortly after the armed spring hunt, Archmage Luke? Brewster officially informed Luna that she would be marrying the Archbishop of the Tritheistic Church. Scott, after getting married, returned to the Mage Tower as an assistant to the head of the Mage Tower. Luna thanked the Mentor for her cultivation and began to accompany Brooklyn, the current head of the Mage Tower, under the Mentor's arrangement. Arquette participates in the day-to-day management of the Mage Tower. Among them is the Council of the Six Towers.

"Ten minutes left, and all the communication circles have been checked?"

Brooklyn is a very strict person, and once taught Luna a history of magic, and the two are no strangers. Luna nodded respectfully at Brooklyn, bowing her head slightly.

"Yes, Lord Brooklyn, each magic array uses 66 S-rank pyroxenes, and I have prepared 10% magic redundancy, so it should be fine."

"That's good, you're going to host the Fire Festival anyway, you can see these people first, and it doesn't hurt. When they come to Roseville, you won't even know your face. ”

Brooklyn's voice was soft, and she sat straight. Luna's gaze paused in front of Brooklyn's nameplate in both Ankenrein and Fern languages, and began to recall the names of the six Mage Tower Masters she had memorized. And just as the two of them were about to finish speaking, a slight fluctuation of magic power swept through the magic bracelets on Luna and Brooklyn's hands, and someone connected to the communication circle of the Sanction Mage Tower.

Located on the fourth floor of the Sanction Mage Tower, the Sanctions Hall is the tallest meeting hall in the Mage Tower, and its sole purpose is to convene the Council of the Six Towers. As the highest authority in this world, the Council of the Six Towers holds a meeting of mages every six years, and at least once a year, a meeting of directors presided over by the mage tower on duty. This was the second meeting of the Sanction Mage Tower, and Luna, as the assistant to the Mage Tower's director, had the privilege of attending and participating.

As soon as the vibration of the Demon Sensing Bracelet stopped, the communication circle in front of the third high-backed chair on the left side of the round table lit up, and after a few seconds of flickering, Marshall, the director of the Third Republic Scepter Mage Tower, was borne. Huff's large red nose appears in front of Brooklyn and Luna.

"Marshall? Mr. Huff, you are a little earlier than expected. Brooklyn bowed slightly, and the figure in the air nodded.

"Brooklyn, I'm here a little bit early, and I have something to tell you privately," Marshall? Huff nodded at Brooklyn and Luna and continued, "Recently, your company, The Surge, submitted a patent application to the Parliaments of the Six Nations called the Centrifugal Governor, which is a small part of a steam engine. That patent was also made by our RAND company, and it was about the same in terms of time. The people below have some disputes about how to deal with this situation, and I think that the surging power is also the property of His Excellency Brewster, so I will tell you first, so as not to make us make everyone look bad. ”

"Centrifugal governor?" Brooklyn turned her head and motioned to Luna to write it down, "I know, I'll arrange for someone to check it out, and I'll communicate with you separately later if necessary." ”

"Okay, thank you."

Marshall? Huff smiled at Brooklyn, and he had done his job. Just as The Surging Power Company was eventually controlled by the Sanction Mage Tower, the Rand Mechanical Power Company of the Third Republic of Fern was controlled by the Scepter Mage Tower. Both of them are one of the six major mage towers, and when they encounter problems with each other, they have a mature communication mechanism to avoid things and contradictions from going uncontrollable.

"Who is this cutie? Is it your successor? Huff saw Luna and quickly changed the subject. Luna got up and bowed to Lord Huff and sat down again. She didn't have the right to speak at this meeting, and Brooklyn would naturally help her explain.

"This is my favorite student and my successor, and I would like to introduce you to you today. When the fire starts in September, she will be in charge of receiving you. ”

"Ha, okay, then I must go!"

Huff smiled and looked at the seats around him. After a few words, the remaining four mage towers had established a stable connection with the communication circle. Representatives of the world's top powers appear around this stone table, which is more than 400 years old. Luna kept a smile on her face as she mapped the men to her own memories.

The silver-haired robed lady who sat to his left was a saint? Amy, is the director of the Tower of the Dragonspring Mage in the Papal State of Embisric. According to the grapevine, this saint? Ms. Amy is the lover of Pope Egerd of the Tritheistic Pope. Luna's eyes swept over the grim-faced lady and looked at Shem, who was sitting on her left hand. Forest.

Shem? Mori was a very old man with a white beard, with a slightly bent back, wearing one-sided glasses, and smiling kindly. He is the director of the Longsword Mage Tower of the Negru Republic and has held this position for more than forty years. The slightly chubby middle-aged man sitting on his left hand is named Ainio? Sauron, the director of the Alonte Empire's Gushan Mage Tower, is said to be a man who has to change to a different woman every night. Marshall, the director of the Third Republic's Scepter Tower of Fern, who had spoken to Luna before? Huff is with Ainio? Zoro whispered. Sitting in Marshall? Between Huff and Brooklyn is Ruth from the Arctic Country, Loren Robus, the Stone Fort Mage Tower? Fernand, who seemed to have a good relationship with Brooklyn, was also chatting casually.

Luna mentally matched these people with her own memories, glanced at the clock, and gently struck the timing hammer. The six figures who had just been chatting casually, almost standing at the top of the world, stopped and nodded at Brooklyn in unison.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Brooklyn sat up straight, she was speaking Fern and Luna sounded a little struggling, but the Council of the Six Towers had a recording circle, and she wasn't required to be on the spot.

"I'm glad to be here in your busy schedule, this year is the second year that we have hosted the Six Towers Council of the Sanction Tower, this meeting is the first meeting of the year, and there are two fixed topics for this meeting, one is the exchange of research progress of the third Great Demon Tide, and the other is the preparation for our upcoming Fire Festival. If the discussion goes well, give everyone half a day in the afternoon to have a free discussion. Now, please introduce your respective detection and research progress on the Third Great Demon Tide, from Ruth of the Stone Castle Mage Tower? Lord Fernand. ”

Ruth? Fernand has a good face and doesn't look very old. Luna didn't know much about the country in the far west of the continent, hearing that there was no winter, that temperatures were over 20 degrees Celsius all year round, and that there were beautiful beaches and waves. Perhaps due to years of sunbathing on the beach, Fernand's skin has a distinctly sun-kissed color.

"Thank you, I don't have good news here," Fernand didn't notice Luna's gaze, he took out the material and projected the contents of the material through the communication circle to the image area above the stone table.

"Rollen Robles has not been doing well with the newly mined pyroxene in the last three months, and the results of sampling and testing have increased the magic stability coefficient by another 3 basis points and is now 77.44. At this rate, the pyroxene stability coefficient in the western part of the continent will rise to the danger zone of 98 in about two hundred years. ”

"It's 76.12 on my side, and the situation is not good", Ainio, the director of the Alonte Empire's Gushan Mage Tower? Zoro interjected, "But our average annual growth rate is slower than yours, and now it seems that the judgment that the third great demon tide will come from the west is still correct. ”

"A difference of one point does not change anything", said the head of the Longquan Mage Tower of the Papal State. Amy shook her head slightly, "Once the stability factor breaks through 95, it will be almost impossible for us to find a new apprentice, there has never been an apprentice in history who has been able to mobilize the magic in pyroxene with a stability factor of more than 95, and the trend of mana solidification is irreversible, we have agreed on this for a long time." ”

Luna, who had relied on her hard-working Fern language, was able to understand what everyone was discussing. The knowledge of the Third Great Demon Tide is limited to top-secret information known to the Six Great Mage Towers. In the known history of the continent, there have been two great demon tides. The first Great Demon Tide killed the gods and gave humans room to live. The Second Great Tide slew legendary creatures and magical races, condensing the pervasive magic of freedom in the sky in pyroxene. A long time ago, the Great Magus prophesied that if the Third Great Demon Tide came, it would probably mean the end of the mage. Luna had always seen these things as stories before, after all, more than 1,600 years had passed since the Second Great Demon Tide, and there was no indication of the existence of the Third Great Demon Tide.

"That's why we need to control science, and I know that the Mage Towers you're in are investing more in scientific research, and that's what we've agreed to do, and it's not something new to discuss at this meeting. Please pause the discussion of the Third Great Tide and let His Excellency Fernand finish. ”

As the initiator of the meeting, Brooklyn controlled the rhythm of the venue, and Fernand successively introduced some major monitoring indicators, including the energy utilization rate and energy dissipation speed of more than a dozen general magic circles, including the screening of Loren Robus's magic apprentices, etc., most of these tests and data are not optimistic, and the third great magic tide that only exists in the prophecy makes everyone present feel depressed. After Fernand, each mage tower made a supplementary explanation of the relevant data, and after everyone summarized and compared, they concluded that the current mana convergence situation is basically stable, although the general trend is pessimistic, but there is at least two to three hundred years to figure out a way.

After the first session, the supervisors took a break to listen to Brooklyn's presentation on the preparations for the festival. This content is also traditional content, and everyone is familiar with the process and matters, so the progress is very fast. Except for Marshall of the Dragonspring Mage Tower of the Third Republic? Aside from Huff's uncertainty about the agreed time, the others had no new opinions. Luna remained silent throughout the morning meeting. At noon, she followed Brooklyn? Master Arquette dined together and took the opportunity to express his feelings.

"My lord, I think this meeting seems to be okay, although the matter of the Great Demon Tide is sad, but the others seem to be routine?"

"You didn't see the afternoon, the morning meeting was all on a fixed agenda, and everyone knew it. The afternoon meeting is the main event, the previous contradictions of various countries will be brought to the table, and some common issues also need to be discussed, you pay attention to listen more, it will be good for you. ”

Brooklyn taught patiently. There is no conflict of interest between her and Luna, and Master Luke's instructions are the same goal for the two of them to act for. Since Master Luke has decided to make Luna her assistant, she will definitely do a good job as her teacher.

Hearing Brooklyn's answer, Luna nodded and talked to Brooklyn about something else. The two took a short break after lunch and got into the afternoon agenda.

"There's something I need to remind Shem? To Luna's surprise, the first issue of the Freedom Agenda was initiated by Brooklyn, "Recently there was another outbreak of the workers' movement in Ronninger, the second city in our country, and twenty-two people died in the process of suppression. We have evidence below that Labour Party members from the Neglo Republic were involved in the event. ”

Luna was a little surprised to hear this. She attended the St. Saint not long ago? Scott had heard about the strike at the embarrassing ball, and it didn't sound like a big deal at the time, but judging by the expressions on the faces of several of you, was it actually significant?

"There are only two dozen words, so Lord Arquette doesn't need to take them to the meeting, right? You Ankenrein are more than us, so what's the big deal if some of these workers die? ", Shem, the head of the Sword Mage Tower of the Negru Republic? Sen didn't care about the issue raised by Brooklyn, he observed Brooklyn's expression, and saw that she didn't seem to give up, so he added, "Brooklyn, you also know that we are now parliamentary, and the Wizard's Tower has limited direct control over the Labor Party, and they can't toss anything anyway, so there is no need to bother with it. If you can catch someone, just kill them, you don't need to consult with us. Moreover, in the final analysis, these workers' movements are to blame for the book of Master Havari, and if they are to be investigated, I think Marshall? Lord Huff should take responsibility and find a way to solve this problem. ”

"You also know that Master Havari is...... He was the first to overthrow the imperial rule of the Fern Empire, single-handedly established the First Republic of Fern, and led the establishment of the first factory in the modern sense, which paved the way for the birth of the bourgeoisie. He even invented the steam engine, which greatly liberated the productive forces of ordinary people, and it is difficult for us to think of too good a way to lay out the means laid out by such a person. "Marshall, the director of the Third Republic's Scepter Mage Tower? Huff patiently explained, complaining about the difficulties he was experiencing. The Pope's State of Embisric Longquan Mage Tower Supervisor St. Amy waited for Huff to finish and chimed in.

"First invented the steam engine, then cultivated the bourgeoisie, then cultivated the proletariat, and then gave the proletariat a sharp and unusual weapon, the way of thinking of Master Havari is indeed beyond the comprehension of us mortals. It doesn't make sense to talk about a deceased figure now, and I think we still have to focus on the spread of communist ideas, and for some reason, this kind of thinking always makes me uneasy. ”

"As long as your Excellencies are around, communism will be just the work of Master Havari. But we have to come up with a way, otherwise the kings and the parliament will not have a good time. ”

Brooklyn leads everyone back to the discussion. Luna looked at the side of her mentor's face, but her mind became more interested in the book.

How did Master Havari come up with the idea of writing such a book two hundred years ago?
