Chapter XIX Arrangement
"No problem, you are free to arrange. Arnold glanced Douglas up and down with a smile, not hiding his expression, as if he had only now reacquainted himself with the archmage who was hundreds of years younger than herself.
At this time, Prihill walked over like a tulip, swaying and said to Douglas with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You, well, how can you say it? The angle and way of thinking about the problem is very surprising, indeed, there are phenomena that fill our lives, and we are as accustomed to them as our own hands and eyes, and forget to ask why this is happening." β
"More than 500 years later, I feel the shock of my first contact with magic. β
Douglas could only smile and nod at the praise of this enthusiastic lady: "The exploration of magic in the world is never-ending. β
"Alright, let's not delay. Prihill didn't hesitate and looked at the others with a smile, "The most important thing at the moment is to assassinate Alfonso, and you will act according to the plan when you go back." β
The corners of Fernando's mouth twitched, these old guys had already made plans when they communicated in private?
The fat and bloated Nelson looked at Douglas with those ruby eyes and snorted, "The magicians of Antiphre are studying this kind of problem, no wonder it will be conquered by the Church of Truth......"
Douglas didn't argue with him, and remembered clearly in his heart that this was a remnant of Arthur's Empire, and what he was best at was blood fusion and physical transformation.
"Sometimes, I often wonder what the power of the shadows is and where it comes from......" Amanata said in a fluttering voice. Then the whole person disappeared into the shadows of the room.
Congus looked at Arnold and said in his usual eerie and hoarse voice: "Old fox, I will do as you say, but if there is a problem with your plan, hum ......"
After seeing the leaders of the various organizations leave one by one, Arnold dug his nose very unvividly: "Dealing with these guys is much more tiring than fighting them. β
"There is no foundation of trust, you can only take it one step at a time. Douglas smiled, not minding.
"This operation is the first step of trust, thanks to the 'Deep Blue Demon', whether he really wants to kill Alfonso or not. At least give us the opportunity to act together. With the first time, it will be much easier to organize a second or third time. Arnold regained his smiling and kind old man's appearance.
Fernando said angrily: "But it must be successful! If it fails, it will be difficult to have a second cooperation." Unless one side is already close to extinction. Old man. What exactly are your plans?"
There were only Arnold and Douglas here, so he called out the old man in passing.
Arnold didn't scold Fernando for being rude, and said with a smile: "It's very simple. As I've said before, with the Tower of the Destroyer in charge of bringing out Alfonso, and the other organizations covering and cooperating with us, the Church will never think that we have joined forces. β
"How? Aren't you afraid of the Church suspecting a trap? Not afraid of attracting the 'Heart of Time'? He's been hunting down magicians lately. Fernando expressed dissatisfaction with this plan, even if the church did not know that so many magical organizations had secretly united, but the temptation was a little blunt, and it was easy to see that there was a trap, and it was likely to encounter a thunderous blow at that time.
Annold looked at Fernando with a smile on his face: "You are just a seven-ring magician, this kind of battle is useless, what do you care about specific plans?"
"I, I'll soon be an archmage!" said the despised Fernando, as Anold had expected.
"Ha Lu Ha. Arnold laughed twice, "It's good to be young, but this operation also needs you to join, no one can manipulate the thunderstorm weather better than you, rest assured, the seduction will definitely not let Alfonso see that there is a problem." β
Fernando glared at the president angrily, and had a feeling of being teased: "Then how did you induce Alfonso to leave Rentat?
"Hehe, just wait for your words, then you won't participate, I've been afraid that you would want to join recklessly. Arnold smiled treacherously, and then sped up his speech before Fernando roared, "Okay, I'm kidding, the specific inducement plan can only be made after investigating Alfonso's personality, hobbies, style of doing things, and choice habits, but the core will not change, that is, the 'Tower of the Destroyer' will tell the Inquisition through the traitors hidden inside." β
"Hidden traitors inside?, do they know traitors?" asked Fernando in astonishment, and at the same time, he whispered in his heart, the old man is such an old man, and he can still laugh so treacherously, he is really a natural old fox!
Arnold shook his head with a smile: "Fernando, you are too young and naΓ―ve, although the major organizations dare not say that they have mastered all the hidden traitors, they have at least grasped some of them and put them in a position where they will not cause much loss, and now, it is time for them to 'work' for the organization." β
He added: "Sometimes, traitors are more valuable to us. β
Douglas kept smiling and listening, faintly feeling strange, Mr. President didn't seem to need to explain in such detail, could it be that he usually communicated with Fernando like this?
Fernando thought about it, probably understood what Arnold meant, and scolded again in his heart, old fox!
"Actually, after Sharp 'commissioned' this task, the two of them have automatically joined the action, and there is no need to sign up again. Arnold laughed, "By the way, Douglas, I'm curious about your question, would you like to talk about it?"
"Very gratifying. Douglas replied without hesitation.
As the trio returned to the Land of a Thousand Lakes, they exchanged questions from Douglas, each expressing their own unverified opinions.
When he entered the ruins at the bottom of the lake and appeared, Arnold's smile had disappeared, and he frowned, his face full of thought: "Strange, your concept is very strange, no, no......"
In his muttering to himself, he didn't forget to send Roland, who had been sent to greet him, to find a few vice presidents to come over and discuss.
When Rig, Ramon, and Veronica come in. Arnold had already returned to normal, smiled and told the matter of the gathering of the major organizations, and finally said: "This operation, we are responsible for the two most important links, if it succeeds, we will be more able to lead other cooperation in the future, among them, the second link is the actual hands-on, Douglas and I are in charge, Fernando and Congus, Nelson, Amanata and others cover and cooperate." This has already been decided. There is no doubt about it. β
He said the second link first, and then looked at Rig: "The first link is to lure Ketonia away and rule out the possibility that he is secretly following." β
It dawned on Fernando that he had been worried that he had brought out Alfonso by the way, the "Heart of Time". After all, no one can be sure that he is only interested in the magicians of the guild. The old fox is so thoughtful!
"If only we were alone. Two seductions in a row will definitely be seen through as a conspiracy, so. There must be other organizations to cooperate, and in the same way, if the interval between the two lures is too short, it will inevitably be seen through, Rig, I need you to go south tomorrow and lead Ketonia around for a week, you are the vice president, and you deserve his attention. β
Anold looked at Rig, his expression became very serious and solemn, "I know, this is very dangerous, if you are not careful, you will be killed by Ketonia, only the Archmage of the Nine Rings, only you who are good at escaping and concealing can be competent, and besides, you also have to pay attention to the way you expose your whereabouts, so as not to let Ketonia suspect that he has been chasing you, just like he used to hunt down other archmages and high-level magicians." β
The danger of this mission made Fernando a little scared, and he doubted that Rig would refuse, but the gloomy and deep Rig said very calmly and calmly: "No problem, this is my duty." β
Douglas didn't know much about Rig, but he didn't think there was anything, but Fernando's eyes widened, this old guy usually fights for power and profit, and is mean and ruthless, but at the critical moment, he is still very conscious and reliable!
At this moment, he felt that Rig's hooked nose didn't seem to be so ugly.
Arnold faded from seriousness, smiled and sighed: "We can only move forward in danger, Rig, or shall we change it? I will lead Ketonia to go around in circles, and you and Douglas will join forces to kill Alfonso? I am the president, and I should take on the most dangerous part." β
Rig showed a hint of a smile: "Forget it, your link is more dangerous, if something happens, it will be difficult for you to escape, and I, at least everything is under my own control." β
"Then it was decided. Anald turned his head to look at Fernando, "Fernando, you have another task, go back to Rentaert, and collect information about Alfonso, including but not limited to hobbies, personality, style of doing things, choice tendencies, and interpersonal relationships. β
In the past, they had never thought about assassinating Alfonso, so they only collected information such as Alfonso's magic and combat cases, which was obviously not enough for assassination.
"Isn't a few days too tight?" asked Fernando suspiciously, Vice President Rig was going south, or he would start his operations in a few days, and he would have five days at most to gather information.
Arnold smiled, "You only need to collect some from the side to corroborate the main information." For specific information, please request it directly from the 'Deep Blue Demon'. β
"Huh?" Fernando was stunned again.
"He's the one who commissioned the task, he knows Alfonso very well, who don't ask him for this kind of thing?" said Arnold, smirkingly.
"But, but......" Fernando's heart was full of worry, and at this time, Douglas interjected, "Go ahead, no problem." β
Fernando glanced at Douglas and then at President Arnold, but what did he not understand?
Suddenly, he felt a little stupid in front of the two of them......
Before leaving, Douglas found Fernando and took out a few books and notebooks with black covers: "It's rare to meet a child who is so interested in mathematics and physics, I have here some materials and experiences from past learning, please give it to Sharp, let him pass it on to Hathaway, there is no content about magic in it." β
Fernando nodded: "Well, I also have to give her a few books on mathematics and science." (To be continued......)
