Chapter 702: Unwilling (Two More in One 4k Words)
He sat back in his place with his wine glass: "Come, it's time to eat." β
Looking back, Luo Di found that the hotel manager was standing still with an embarrassed face, and frowned: "What? What did I say you didn't understand? β
"I, I... Got it, I'm going to pass on your opinion! β
He was about to cry when he said this, because it was tantamount to making him offend a powerful parliamentarian and a speaker...
"Wait," Roddy called to him, who stopped with a look of surprise on his face, thinking he had finally changed his mind. How do you know that while pouring wine for Akasha, Luo Di said slowly: "I didn't say any 'opinion', my reply is the sentence just now, you don't need to change a word, understand?" β
Looking at the hotel manager who wanted to leave without tears, Roddy smiled and said to Houdini: "What? Are you still afraid that I will smash it? β
"I don't want to admit it, but I'm still going to say," Houdini took a sip of wine and sighed reluctantly: "It's fucking cool to be able to make the whole council deflated!" β
Naturally, the laughter at the wine table could not be heard outside the hotel. But one thing is obvious: all the councillors were a little embarrassed after hearing the hotel manager's reply...
"Arrogance!"
"Who gave him the guts? Refusing to do such a thing as an entire council, does he still have Rasiman in his eyes?! β
"But the problem isβ" Speaker Jeremy pressed his hands down, calmly recounting the fact: "Before today, we didn't take him seriously. β
ββ¦β¦β
In the midst of the embarrassing silence, most people turned their attention to the dean of Brenka Academy, who looked down at the ground with ostriches, completely looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, which really made people feel speechless.
Fortunately, Roddy didn't forget to give them some sweetness after knocking them on the stick, and Erwin and the others, who were originally blocked at the door, turned around and left after receiving the notice, only guarding the entrance on the first floor. So a group of councillors were finally able to enter the courtyard of the hotel, and they didn't expect to talk to Roddy anymore, and one by one they rushed to the "Fire Crossbow Arrow" without any image, pouting their butts and observing them up close.
The hotel manager stood by dumbfounded. Just the day before, he was still secretly laughing in his heart that this thing made by Luo Di was a joke, but now he looks at the speaker who can't wait to lie on the ground and look at the posture of the structure of the site, this thing... Seems powerful?
"It's... This is really cobalt gold! β
"I*!"
When someone found the material of the pure blue suspension structure of the "Fire Crossbow Arrow", at least three people scolded at the same time, and even a quiet character like Speaker Jeremy was stunned for a long time, and then they found that this "suspension" is not only the rear wheel, the shock absorption structure of the front wheel is also two cylindrical cobalt gold cylinders, just looking at it, the "Fire Crossbow Arrow" car uses at least 12 kilograms of cobalt gold!
You must know that the magic circle of a small floating tower only uses a maximum of 150 kilograms, but at the moment, this "fire crossbow arrow" uses so much cobalt gold just to create three floating suspensions... There was one word in the hearts of all the mages: loser!
However, after such a sigh, they also realized the fact that this kind of material, which was extremely rare in Rasiman, may not be a rare thing for the Karen Kingdom.
Maybe... There is no shortage of this mineral in the Karen Kingdom?
There was no Barrenner's mage among the councillors here, so they all discussed with joy on their faces: it was clear that the monopoly of "cobalt gold" could really be broken!
Lenovo "1 gold coin per kilogram" to sell cobalt gold ore, now everyone understands that this is completely the messenger of the Karen Kingdom who deliberately slapped the face with 40,000 gold coins on the front foot and sold 8 kilograms, and dumped 1 gold coin and 1 kg on the back foot, it is self-evident who the Karen Kingdom is targeting.
"It's a shame that I didn't rob Rotica, otherwise I wouldn't have vomited blood..."
The dean of Movent Academy sighed in a low voice, and a chorus immediately sounded around him, "Councilor Rotica is really to blame, as soon as the days of monopolizing the cobalt gold mine are over, this guy is estimated to be persuaded to leave the council soon." β
"Forty thousand gold coins is not a good experience, and the dissatisfaction within the academy must be unbearable."
"He proposed all the bills in the first place, and he has been offending this messenger... If we don't come up with an explanation, I guess it will be difficult for us to negotiate face-to-face with this envoy, right? Today, he actually drove the 'enforcers' to oppress the emissary council of the Karen Kingdom, and could not allow such a person to ignore the law! β
At this time, "belated" justice comes to the people, as they have always been.
"By the way, isn't Houdini from Blunka Academy? He should help us save the relationship as much as possible, why can't we find anyone at this time? β
This discussion eventually turned everyone's attention to Brenka's dean, and when they learned that Houdini had been demoted, everyone's face turned gloomy like Jeremy's...
If you offend one, it's over, and even your own people are thrown out as outcasts, isn't this digging a pit and jumping in?
"Well, it's useless to talk about this now, I'm afraid what we need to care about is not just the problem of cobalt and gold mines."
In the cold moment, Speaker Jeremy interrupted them. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the heat dissipation gap in the body above the rear wheel of the "Fire Crossbow Arrow", "From here, you can see the sixteen spars inside, the volume, color and shape, are exactly the same as the four pieces in the finale of the auction house..."
"Hiss"
The old guys suddenly took a collective breath... Just now, I was talking about Rotica's stupidity, I was calculated by the Karen Kingdom, and now I look at it, except for Brenka Academy, no one has run away!
The five academies took out almost 100,000 gold coins to buy four spars, counting the 8 kilograms of cobalt gold ore, a full 140,000 gold coins, and it fell into the pocket of the ambassador of the Karen Kingdom silently.
And they suffered such a big loss that they didn't even have a chance to go in and see Roddy.
"Who said he was a nouveau riche with buns? That's too ruthless, isn't it?! β
"Say! Could it be that your Brenka Academy has been colluding with him a long time ago? β
Several upright magisters couldn't help but scold, but Jeremy and the others couldn't help but sigh at the "fire crossbow arrow" in front of them, the relationship deteriorated and simple, and it was too difficult to repair it. No matter how they try to salvage their relationship with the Karen Kingdom, they have already fallen into disadvantage...

While the councillors were busy observing the "fire bolts", the atmosphere in the Barlenna Academy was almost frozen.
The news of the massive sale of "cobalt gold mine" has spread all over the streets and alleys, and after half a day of verification, it has been basically confirmed that the ores sold by the Karen Kingdom on Blake Avenue are all real!
And the quality of these ores is exactly the same as what Councilor Rotica bought for 40,000 gold coins at the auction!
Five hundred kilograms of cobalt gold ore were snapped up in a matter of hours, and immediately after that, there was news on the black market that the cobalt gold ore was being sold for sale, after all, those simple second-hand dealers kept these things for experiments. By 10 minutes of dinner, the price of cobalt gold ore on the black market had soared to 20,000 gold coins per kilogram...
It stands to reason that 1 gold coin can directly multiply 20,000 times the amount of things that can be bought directly sounds very nonsense, but cobalt gold ore, a precious resource that Rasiman will never sell on the market, no one knows whether it will be sold for as much money as it is today.
More than half of the people who bought the cobalt gold ore were in their own hands and would not sell it, and the rest of the dealers nearly doubled the unit price at the auction, because the auction of "Nogerforge" had to pay "cash" and could not be paid in installments, and if the installments were accepted at the auction, the price could soar to tens of thousands of gold coins per kilogram.
But now the market is suddenly "saturated", resulting in inflated and unstable prices. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it... This exaggerated price will fall rapidly tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and quickly settle at a low point. It's just that the current situation is really not optimistic for Ballenna College.
When the monopoly is broken, it is like a breach in a, which means that the next thing to face is the crisis of total collapse.
"Lord Rotica, the Vice-Deans of the Academy are already waiting for you in the conference hall."
Standing like a sculpture, Rotica finally came back to his senses, and he walked into the conference room with a somewhat blank expression, and then he felt like he was facing a fierce storm...
The forcible use of 40,000 gold coins already had sequelae, and now when it rebounded in a more aggressive form, Rotika was under unimaginable pressure, and almost all of the vice presidents made a request to let him quit the council...
The management within the College will only represent the interests of the College itself. When Rotica's behavior deviated from this point and could lead to damage to the interests of the students, he immediately became the target of "losing the car and protecting the commander".
From this point of view, the choice of the management of the Barlenna College is the same as the choice of the Blunka College for Houdini.
In the face of interests, he is not emotional, and even basic courtesy is not served. If it weren't for the dean's efforts to override the crowd and forcibly suppress the request for recall on the spot, it is estimated that Rotica would have been directly deprived of his seat in the parliament today!
"We all know that cobalt and gold mines cannot be monopolized for long. Over the years, we have relied on it to have more benefits than expected, so breaking the monopoly is not a bad thing. β
Dean Lacio looked at it obviously: "Do you think that if the monopoly continues like this, the council will really sit idly by?" When the other five academies joined forces to deal with us, how many of us sitting here now would dare to stand up and take responsibility? β
He nodded the table: "As soon as something happens, I want to quickly shake the pot, the contribution of Councillor Rotica to the academy, which of you can compare?" It's a bit of a mess to vote now, huh? β
The dean's words stabilized the current tense atmosphere, and Rotica cast a grateful glance at him, but he also understood that he had to stand up and speak now, so he quickly got up and said: "The appearance of the cobalt gold mine on the market shows that the other party is prepared. We don't have the bottom of exactly how much they have in stock, but one thing is for sure... After the council noticed their existence, it was no longer realistic to want to sell the cobalt gold mines. β
"In other words, we still have time. Whether it's maneuvering, coping, or compromising, you have to look at their attitude first. β
Rotica can be a core councilor, and his sense of smell and means are first-class, so he analyzed it rationally, and finally let the mages present collectively accept his plan. It wasn't until the dean announced the adjournment of the meeting that he sat back in his seat and tried to pick up the glass to drink, that Rotica found that his hands were actually shaking badly.
This is not because of fear, but because of anger and unwillingness.
The envoy of the Karen Kingdom came out of the air, directly touching the "high-voltage line" of Ballenna, and at the same time forcing Rotica into a desperate situationDon't look at what he just said to "negotiate and discuss", in fact, he knows very well... I'm afraid the other party won't give me this chance at all!
From the very beginning of the whole incident, it was he who was pulling the banner to embarrass Roddy everywhere, if the only solution was to bow his head and beg for Roddy's forgiveness... Then you might as well kill Rotica!
So for Rotica, there is really only one choice.
The only thing missing is just the right timing.

On October 6th, the "Twilight Crown" event continued.
The news that the record of the "Durrell Rally" was significantly refreshed has attracted widespread attention, and the name "Cullen Kingdom" has also entered the vision of most people for the first time. And when they followed the country's players in the field, they suddenly realized... This country, which seems to have not many people participating, is far stronger than you imagined!
In all the events involving physical forces, the championship was basically won by a guy named "Elwin" in this country.
exaggerated, even the top three and top four are all players from the Karen Kingdom.
And today, the competition on the racetrack is also surprising, and the players of the Bindu Kingdom, who basically covered the term "equestrian" in the previous few sessions, are indistinguishable from the knights of the Karen Kingdom!
The fierce competition skyrocketed the spectacle and attracted a lot of cheers, but in the end, the championship was won by Duke, the little Khan of Bindu Kingdom, while Davidian was narrowly separated from his comrades in second or third place.
Davidian also had to obey the little Khan's equestrian skills, although the "Dragon Lance Knight" had the best treatment and high-intensity training, but there was still a gap between him and this race that grew on horseback. However, they didn't take the first place and there was no pressure, because Roddy let them compete with the purpose of "relaxing".
After the game, Davian didn't forget to go up and talk a few words, and Little Khan was very nervous before, for fear that he would lose someone if he couldn't win the championship, but at this time, he got his wish, and his mood was much better. Although he is hostile to the kingdom of Karen, he also respects the strong. Therefore, the conversation with David was not refused, and after a brief conversation, the two sides dispersed.
In the other arena, Naifi easily made it to the final and defeated her opponent neatly to win the puppet tournament in the current category. (To be continued.) )
