Chapter 9 Lobbying

A minute later, Xi Xiangyu once again took back control of his body.

The sewers, which already belonged to the place where the filth and dirt were hidden, looked even more miserable after a great battle, and he stared at this place with an ugly face for a long time before looking away from him.

When another soul uses its body, it is pitch black and unable to perceive anything.

But judging from the countless broken corpses on the ground and the cuts on the mech, the undamaged environment around him, and his body, which was completely unremarkable except for his back pain, the battle just now was probably not a one-sided massacre.

The mecha he had carefully built was as thin as paper in the face of another soul's level of combat power, which devastated him. But the sense of loss is fleeting, and what comes back to my heart is endless fighting spirit.

One day, he will create a creation that can easily crush another soul.

"I didn't let one go. 」

[I will not let go of those who are my enemies, you go and seal that portal for the time being. 】

"Did you misunderstand something? You've never had decision-making power. But look at this pile of corpses, it's good, neutral good, you beasts are such a good law?"

【......】

Traveling through the newly surrounded area, the Joy Encounter continued to search for the junction of the two worlds, and it took nearly half an hour to arrive at the place where he had first come into contact with Golantia.

Looking at the tiny dark crack in the dark corner, I was silent for a long time.

As long as you pass through this chasm, you can go home when you meet happily. Parents, sister, he can still live a less happy life with his family than before, but full of security and affection. And the price is nothing more than giving up all participation in the other world of Golantia, which has nothing to do with him in the first place......

Thinking too much, I still have to work for the country before I become a martyr.

In short, there is nothing to solve when you go back now, the earth's resources are already very tight, and at this time, there is no point in whitewashing peace and justice in any language, and in order to develop, the earth must be developed in another world.

It's better to stay in Golantia and think of ways to get the best of both worlds.

Starting from the deepest part of the sewer, he uses spells to create a large number of rocks and leaves the place. If he only relies on manpower to dredge the project that can be cleaned up in ten days and half a month, if his next action fails, he can at least delay the other party.

"But the most important thing is the guerrillas, and the guerrillas in Noyer must be cleaned up. 」

After leaving the sewers, he discovers that the two forces in Noyer have indeed started a fight.

The conflict between the commoners, supported by the guerrillas, and the last group of commoners, who had become nobles, had already become more and more intense, and as the plan for a happy meeting unfolded, the guerrillas chose to take the opportunity to stage a coup d'état.

Even in the midst of the chaotic war, the Mage Guild remained neutral and was not affected by any war.

"Faust, why are you still wandering outside, hurry up and get back to the guild. ”

When the Joy Meets returned to the gates of the Society, Lawrence unguarded and opened the door to lead him into the building.

"Lawrence, what's going on?"

"While we were checking, the guerrillas suddenly drove all the mechs away, and then the guerrillas and civilian groups that suddenly appeared began to occupy important buildings in the city, and there were also a large number of combat forces attacking the sheriff and the city lord. ”

"I didn't expect them to choose such a mutiny, the guards who were originally supervising the mecha have already been subdued. 」

"Yes, it happened so suddenly that they didn't have time to react. ”

Even in the midst of the battle, Lawrence was still leisurely sipping black tea on the second floor of the association, and it seemed that the power of the city had changed not once or twice.

I met with joy and made a good draft in my heart, and found Lawrence again.

"Lawrence, I don't think the Mage Guild should just remain inactive, but should be part of it. 」

"This is impossible, and the Mage Guild should be strictly neutral. We are an organization for the study of knowledge, and we should not and need not be involved in such mundane affairs. ”

"Listen to me first, I don't want the association to participate in mundane affairs, but I want the association to develop steadily. 」

"No matter what you say, abiding by neutrality is a rule of the association's headquarters, and it must not be changed or violated. ”

When it comes to the principles of the association, Lawrence is unusually serious, and he looks like he will not change his mind no matter what he says about the meeting.

"Neutrality does not mean that we should do nothing, but rather act as a counterweight to the balance of power. 」

"Pure inaction is neutrality, but it will make it difficult for Noyer to progress or even regress. You've lived in Noyère much longer than I have, and you've probably seen several changes of power in the city, but which time has Noyère not fallen into chaos, and which has Noyère's economy, culture, and all aspects of its economy and culture regressed dramatically?"

"Commoners seized power by force and became aristocratic and declined. The new commoners, who again seized power by force and became aristocracy, declined again. This trend has become more and more serious in this city in recent years, maybe you think it has nothing to do with our Mage Guild?"

"No, the development of the city will limit the growth of our Mage Guild, after all, we are in the city. The loss of economy, people, and resources, and the turmoil have made trade unstable, making it more difficult for us to obtain the spellcasting, experimentation, and materials we want. In this way, every war and the resulting chaos and regression of overall strength have taken us a heavy loss. Lawrence, you should know that, right?"

Talking about human feelings, peace, and justice with a mage who is dedicated to the study of arcane knowledge is completely chicken and duck. Generally speaking, the only way to motivate a mage is to start with money, resources, and arcane, and Lawrence already felt a little sympathetic to the happy meeting.

Every time there is a war, the Mage Guild suffers financial, resource and other losses, but there is nowhere to ask for it.

"But war is a necessary process in the development of civilization, and we have no way to stop it and we don't need to stop it, so what can you do? And most importantly, even if you really have the means, you and I are vice presidents and do not have the power to do something. ”

"Wouldn't it be better if you and I would go with me to convince the president? First of all, I'm going to make this matter clear to you. In order not to cause losses, it is necessary to check and balance the forces so that they do not at least fight in Noyer. 」

Seeing that Lawrence was a little moved, he took a sip of tea and continued.
