Chapter 149: Choice (1)
After a long conversation with Goldman, Ron returned to the Tower of Nightmares and had a long secret conversation with Elvis.
After this secret conversation, Elvis locked himself in the lab for a long time, and it was not until three days later that the Ash Council issued an order informing him that he must attend the meeting at the Ash Castle.
"Mentor. ”
Ron was already at the door, waiting for Elvis' final decision, and although Ron had advised him to leave immediately, he would still respect his mentor's decision.
"Ron, you take Margaret and leave first. Elvis smiled a little reluctantly.
Ron sighed slightly, this was the ending he expected, and it was also the worst ending, Mentor Elvis still didn't let go of Moriago's life-saving grace after all, and decided to make a final effort on the Ashes Council.
Even if the outcome of this meeting is likely to be the stripping of the Ashes legislators and their permanent expulsion.
Ron only told Alvis Gatun about the conspiracy, but did not tell him that he had already booked the launch of the Four Seasons Garden for him, which was a little careful thinking on Ron's part, and from the bottom of his heart he preferred Elvis to leave the Tower of Nightmare and leave the Ash Council, even if he used some means.
Goldman's seemingly random revelations were enough for Ron to judge that this chaotic battle would never end unless one of them won outright.
Therefore, continuing to stay in the Nightmare Tower is not a very good choice for a wizard like Elvis who is dedicated to the study of alchemy, this war is too dangerous, and it will be difficult for the Nightmare Tower to hold out until the end of the war.
Ron had already anticipated Elvis's insistence, so he had prepared a second plan, and concealing the scheduled press conference from Elvis and the Ash Council was a crucial part of this plan.
Only by allowing Mentor Elvis to make a complete break with the Ember Council will Ron be able to get him to follow his advice and leave the Tower of Nightmares.
Elvis had feelings for the Tower of Nightmares, but Ron didn't, so he didn't want to stay in the middle of the maelstrom of war, putting his life in danger at all times.
Ron and Lord Goldman have come to an agreement that completes the final link in the plan.
Ron took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Mentor, I'll accompany you to this ash meeting. ”
"Moses and Olina have taken Margaret to the Crimson Blade, and I will accompany you on your final journey to the Council of Ashes. ”
Elvis looked into Ron's eyes, and just like he had when he had left the Tower of Nightmares, Elvis saw persistence in Ron's eyes.
Elvis was silent, he had only just completed the correction of the Frost Heart, and if Garton really attacked ahead of time as Ron said, he had little chance of winning in this invisible duel.
Between a wizard who doesn't have any exclusive recipe and an alchemist who is about to enter the Garden of the Four Seasons, a fool will know how to choose.
Moriago had already been sent to the Sand Valley by the Council in the name of guarding the borders to confront the Medsel Gardens, and he would inevitably miss this meeting, cutting off his last retreat.
This must be a life-and-death event, and how could Elvis be willing to let Ron go with him.
However, the persistence in Ron's eyes told him that even if he was dead or alive, he would go with him.
"That's it, let's do it!" Elvis knew he couldn't change Ron's insistence, and because he still had the last shred of illusions about the Ash Council.
Castle of Ashes.
Every time the Ashes Council is held, it is always the busiest time for the Ashes Castle, because of the war, the recent regular meetings of the Ashes Council have been a lot more deserted, and most of the councilors are either in the war zone or preparing for war in the rear, and there are not many councillors who come to the regular meeting.
But today's regular meeting, the Castle of Ashes ushered in a rare liveliness, nearly twenty members of parliament came to the Castle of Ashes in advance, even in peacetime there are few such members to attend such a meeting, unless there is an important matter to vote, and this time the number of members attending the meeting has reached the number of voters.
Not only that, but Ember Castle has welcomed several mysterious guests today.
In the Hall of Ashes, where the regular meeting was held, in addition to the six chairmen's seats and dozens of seats for the councillors, there was also a circle of guest seats on the periphery.
The speaker presiding over today's regular meeting is Kleist, who was the last to arrive in the past, and today he made an exception and came to the Hall of Ashes ahead of schedule to have a good conversation with Garden, who was invited to attend this meeting.
He was accompanied by a few potion alchemists and a few councillors who had come with Garton, occasionally interjecting a few words.
However, in the Hall of Ashes, today's protagonist is obviously Garden, and even Kleist, who is standing above the third-order wizard rank, has also chosen to restrain his aura today, leaving all his demeanor to Garden, the future potion alchemist of the Four Seasons Garden.
"Although the potions in the Four Seasons Garden are very good, the rules of only accepting soul crystals for purchase are too harsh. ”
Kleist had a smile on his face, "Back then, I bought a lionheart potion in the Four Seasons Garden, and it cost a full twenty soul crystals, which was my ten years of accumulation at the time. ”
The Four Seasons Garden has more than ninety percent of the second-order potions in the entire southern island region, and all the third-order potion recipes, and it also gathers most of the outstanding potion alchemists, so they have such confidence.
Garden's face was also full of smiles, whether it was what was going to happen today, or what was going to happen in six months' time, it was so happy for him.
"This rule of the Four Seasons Garden has a history of hundreds of years, and according to legend, it was set by the sixth head of state, and I guess this rule will continue forever. ”
"However, the rule is dead, but people are alive, and those pharmacists in the Four Seasons Garden will also sell some of the potions through private channels, and we can contact you privately in the future if you need them. ”
"Haha, then we will thank Your Excellency Gardon first, and in the future, we hope that Your Excellency will take more care of us poor people who are nervous about soul crystals. ”
Immediately, there was a chorus of echo.
"Elvis, a wizard who doesn't know whether to live or die, dares to compare with His Excellency Gardon, after today, I'm afraid there will be no more Elvis. ”
"That kind of vain person, since he doesn't know what to do, it's better to disappear, so as not to pollute everyone's ears. ”
A group of people who tried to climb on Garden's lap expressed their positions and attitudes by stepping on Elvis, pushing the atmosphere of the conversation to a small climax.
An apothecary alchemist who is about to enter the Four Seasons Garden is more attractive to them than a third-order wizard at the level of the Ash Council Speaker, not to mention a disadvantaged Elvis, if nothing else, when Garden officially enters the Four Seasons Garden, most of the people here will become a collective of interests around his will.
Just as the group of people were talking more and more enthusiastically, only a squeak was heard, and the closed door of the Hall of Ashes was pushed open from the outside.
The lively conversation came to an abrupt end.
The crowd followed the prestige and saw Elvis and Ron coming through the door.
Due to the regular meeting, all the magic crystal lamps in the Hall of Ashes were lit up, and the corridor outside the hall was much darker.
From Garden's point of view, Elvis and Ron seemed to be walking slowly out of the darkness.
Garden's eyes were playful, like looking down on a poor ant about to fall into the abyss.
The smile on Kleist's face quickly retracted, and his cold gaze swept over Ron, and then he rebuked in an extremely stern tone: "Elvis, why did you bring a first-order wizard into the Hall of Ashes, have you forgotten the rules of the council?" ”
"Only second-order wizards are qualified to step into the Hall of Ashes!"
