Chapter 237: Meeting (2)
For the upper echelons of the City of Mages, they are very busy today. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Basically, except for one or two councillors who were busy fighting a life-and-death battle with their opponents, or who were about to die, the rest of the people basically put down their busy work, because of Wells's words, plus the rapid expansion of the circle of other councillors in the exchange, except for the collective absence of the last three seats, everyone came here.
There were now nearly twenty people here, and Lynch could be sure that some of them were not councilors, after all, all of them were sitting here now, although there were all images, but the vivid expressions on these images could not be faked.
Councilors have hard power requirements, but under the influence of the rather complex social components in the City of Mages, there are still some good and bad, but if these people are in unison with their necks in unison, the castle will not be able to block the attacks of these guys.
Fortunately, they can't get their necks up, and the twists and turns in the minds of smart people are always very complicated, and when faced with a thing, these people always think of dozens, or even hundreds of different ways to deal with it, and they can't unify it.
What's more, there are indeed some people who just look at Lynch's gang with pure expectation and curiosity, and they basically only have expectations in their hearts about whether these people have broken the Speaker's desperate prophecy.
They are the ones who did not exist in the prophecy, and they are also strong evidence that the prophecy may be wrong as we get closer and closer to the coming of the so-called Pale Lord.
The middle and lower councillors, who were vaguely divided into three factions because of the turmoil at the top, focused their attention on the Wells mansion, and put aside their grievances for the time being around the meeting centered on Lynch and Ying Lan—they tried to keep themselves out of each other's field of vision, discussing the castle and these outsiders.
Of course, it would be rude for these people to be reluctant to make a rash voice in an environment that was still in order, but as if they were interrogating, and their eyes collided with each other, and their thoughts exchanged in convergence, or their mouths moved silently, but they would not be heard by the unwelcoming fellows.
At this time, Lynch could only obediently close his mouth and listen to the members of the Mage Council asking Ying Lan all kinds of questions, some were very polite, some were very unkind, but Ying Lan just had a standard smile on his face and didn't look very friendly, answering every question of these guys.
Although there are many questions, no one will deliberately touch on the core hidden issues, although they are clearly on the strong side, but now it is only a preliminary exchange.
"What are you here for?" asked one of the male bass voices, not disregarding the appearance of the girl character in front of him.
"I can't speak for all of us, I might just be curious. ”
"How did you find here?" he continued.
"On the way, we rescued a man named Perseus the Sunstrider, who claimed to have been one of the three councillors here, and who had brought us here. But we were once invited by a guy named Lyclellus. ”
Lynch saw that there was a slight commotion among the people present, and the atmosphere here became a little sharper.
"He should be called Perseus Sunchaser......" The middle-aged man who asked the question didn't seem to notice the huge language in Ying Lan's answer, but he was only correcting an inconsequential mistake: "He, and their family, have always had some misunderstandings about their names...... I've been correcting it—"
The glamorous mature woman interrupted the middle-aged man's meaningless words, she looked at Ying Lan, and the expression on her face was a little eager: "You received an invitation from Lick, where is the other person now, is it on your side?"
"It's a pity, ma'am," replied Ying Lan, "that we're just a clone of Lycrillus. But Perseus was still alive. ”
"Perseus is alive. One of the men in a top hat took over: "Then we can find out who he was attacked, and the perpetrator should be charged by the council." ”
The other guy, dressed in an evening gown and combing his hair neatly and meticulously, like a gambling god, replied: "No kidding, Wozlett, you should know who tried to kill him, and these fellows are not afraid of any such ridiculous thing as 'council accusations.'" ”
Their tone was as if they were performing on stage, yin and yang, and Lynch could clearly hear that the two guys were mocking.
It was quiet.
"Ahem......" The man who had been asking Ying Lan's question before broke the silence and continued to ask: "If you can, please explain your origins, this is quite important for us in judging some things, and it may also determine our attitude towards you," Speaking of this, several other people sneered disdainfully: "We also sent two councilors to the current location of the castle in front of us, if you can,"
As he spoke, he turned his head in Wells' direction, "Mr. Wells, please allow them to enter your area for the time being, and there should be two more councillor-level missions to contract for further exchanges." ”
Wells hesitated.
He cared more about the other two councillors coming here than the other castle entering his jurisdiction.
"Yes. But he nodded anyway and said to the middle-aged man, "I can let these visitors into my jurisdiction." ”
As he spoke, he smiled in the direction of Lynch and Ying Lan.
Ying Lan was about to open her mouth to answer the other party's question, but was interrupted again. The smiling girl was not annoyed.
"Why did you leave them in the precinct of Wales?" a man sitting in a chair touched the brim of his top hat he was also wearing, and slowly questioned, "They can also go directly to the Central Tower, or continue to stay outside the Black Mist, and restrict—"
This may be Mion's man. Lynch looked at the questioning guy and thought to himself.
It is clear that they are not very welcoming to these outsiders, even if their arrival may represent the shattering of the prophecy of the Speaker who is still asleep.
Licreles, Perseus, these two names may represent the inclination of these guys to a certain extent.
