"Trips rarely end well if they don't start well. ”

The current Archon of Spat muttered in his heart, a phrase he had seen in the Great Library of Better. He mourns his ten-year tenure, as well as the horses he recently tamed.

Rather than becoming an archon according to his family's arrangement, he actually wanted to be a Medici general. Every morning, he would drive his two-wheeled chariot around the mansion's arena for a while—a cure for his escape from the annoying nature of Spart.

But today, he was galloping on his horse, enjoying the air of leisure and freedom. Suddenly, an iron hoop barrel flew straight in, and from the barrel rolled out a humanoid object with limbs cut off.

The terrifying thing exuded a terrible aura, and the galloping horse suddenly stood up in fright, and then was swept under the two-wheeled chariot behind it.

One of them hit his head on a protruding pebble on the ground and lay on the ground panting, while the other broke his axle with his hip and his neck was run over by the wheel.

Thankfully, the Archon, who was the chariot before it overturned, was thrown out and landed on the soft sand beside the gallop. Except for a little oily skin and a bruised arm, he didn't suffer any serious injuries.

The angry archon immediately cursed the guards of the arena, but when he noticed that the silent warriors were glancing at the initiator standing aside. It was like a basin of cold water poured from the top of his head, and his fire was extinguished in an instant.

Hoping to find a dragon to claim compensation, or to judge the Pasha as his immediate boss, the young and mature consul quickly made the choice that his elders had taught him—to compromise in his anger just as he had with the pharaoh's hateful relatives.

"My lord, I didn't know you were coming out of nowhere. Before taking office, he had met with the dragon Pasha as was customary, so the consul recognized Quez as he took on human form, "I beg your pardon for not being far away, and I don't know what you are sending." ”

Of course, the Archon didn't think that Ques's sudden arrival was just out of boredom, or just to "scourge" his horses. Therefore, he preemptively expressed his attitude and expressed his willingness to obey the Pasha's command.

"It's really eye-catching. ”

The young blue dragon secretly commented on this young subordinate in his heart, which slightly affected the plan he had made before coming here, but it was harmless.

"As you can see," Quest said, gesturing at the monsters struggling on the cobblestone-paved gallop of the arena—the Babu Assassin who crawled out of the shattered barrels, missing limbs and tongues, and who could only make meaningless "ho-hos", "this is a kind of Tanari demon called the Babu-Mo, who could only do evil in the bottomless abyss—if there is a word for evil there, but I find them begging for a living in the city under your jurisdiction—you heard them right, they are them, but now there is only one mouth to live." ”

The archon took a cautious look, glancing at the struggling Babu for a few moments, but more attention was on the Pasha. After feeling that although Ques's tone was stern, he didn't seem to intend to ask the teacher for guilt, and he said tentatively:

"Mistress Quest, where did these Ba-Babu demons come from, and if anyone in the city of Spat dares to collude with foreign demons, I, as the consul of this city, will not spare those fellows in any way......

The young consul put himself in the right camp in a few words, and seeing him make this appearance of hatred and hatred, the young blue dragon showed an approving smile on his face: "That's right, you can't spare the bold members of the Egu family. ”

The young official who was still talking eloquently just now was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while, and then said solemnly: "With that family's reputation, it is indeed possible to do such a rebellious thing. However, if you want to settle their sins, you can't rely on a demon alone, and you need to have enough evidence to support it. After all, there are some forces in the capital of Medici, you know. ”

The words "certainly", "probably", and "reckoning" show the keen judgment of the consul, who understood the outcome that Quest wants, and the words "some forces" indicate where the resistance to this result will come from.

"Are you worried about the Obsidian Council's interference?" the dragon Pasha thought for a moment, and asked directly by name. After all, he actually didn't know much about the high-level power of the Medici, "I heard that you and the Egu family had a quarrel over the disposal of a batch of grain, and it was the Obsidian Council of Bait who tested the pressure on you, right?" ”

The archon did not answer Ques's question, he just nodded solemnly. From his reaction, the young blue dragon confirmed his previous guess.

The Obsidian Council is a new group, all composed of noble-born spellcasters. And it seems that it was because of the approval of the pharaohs that it was able to develop in just a few decades.

Although the Council did not have any official authority in Medici, its members were both mages and nobles, and it was actually quite important in the center of the empire.

Some believe that this is a new institution supported by the Pharaoh in order to balance the power of the Great Vishur - this "rumor" has been denied by all parties involved, except for the Great Vishur himself.

But facts are facts, and denials are useless.

The Obsidian Council was originally established to fight for the benefit of noble mages, and since the Medici abolished slavery, the only people who could be used to "charge" the obsidian orbs were the sinner slaves of Beit City.

As a result, limited resources have given rise to disputes over resource allocation. The needs of the mages in each city and the needs of the Spell Research Academy account for the vast majority of Mediki's annual production of obsidian orbs.

Spellcasters from noble backgrounds, on the other hand, believe that they should occupy more quota than mages from commoners. To accomplish this, they spontaneously formed a group, which was governed by the Black Shinestone Council, which they elected.

In addition to using nobility to fight for more quotas of obsidian orbs, the Obsidian Council also used the mage status of its members to speak for the nobility. In their opinion, this is a necessary means to expand the influence of the group.

And it is precisely because of this that although the Egu family is very poor, when the new archon disagrees with them and has a dispute, the noble mage community in Bait still exerts a lot of pressure on the archon.

Spellcasters are dangerous, but dragons are much deadlier in comparison.

"The Obsidian Council is nothing more than a rabble, and it should be time for the Great Vivid. You have to understand that compromise is not the way to go, but to take sides. Choose us, or them?" said Queth, and the young officer immediately made his choice.

As the warrants with the seal of the Archon of Spat were sent one by one, two squadrons of City Watch troops came to assemble, and the garrison mage unit also sent several gray-robed mages to report.

In the dark room where Tooth and the big man meet, two crooked fellows are working out a plan to divide the glove industry, which they see as their own.

Because of the dependence on the power of the Egu family, Huoya did not reap any practical benefits.

"Damn it, it's so dark...... "Huoya cursed the other party's greed in his heart, while secretly planning how to annex the original underground power of the glove. But suddenly, a soft sound interrupted the villain's train of thought.

A monster the size of a candlestick suddenly appeared in the darkroom, with bat-like wings, a pair of short horns that curved forward, and a miniature version of an evil monster - this was a quatsal.

Apparently stimulated by the scent of smoke in the air, Kwassé began to sneeze incessantly as soon as he appeared. And this also makes its mouse-like "chirp" sound become intermittent: "Yes - Ah - Enemy - Ah - Sneeze - Sneeze - Sneeze - Hurry up!"

His words were addressed to the young son of the old Egu family who hid his face, and on the other hand, the two bodyguards who were originally with this villain to protect his safety were glaring at the little devil and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

There is no way, the two bodyguards are the original team sent by the Tieflin Ranger to Huoya's side. They all have the Creature blood of the Bato Nine Hells, and they have a natural hostility to demons.

The cunning Kwassai also noticed this, and after reporting his findings, he turned into a small snake and burrowed into the sleeve of his master's robe. Despite their desire for victory and the power of other demons, they possess a cowardly heart

This Tanari demon is the pet of Egu's youngest son, and in fact, there are many less experienced mages who choose this creature as their pet companion.

Not only is the Kwasar agile, but he can also cloaked or transform into other small animals to scout. At the same time, they also have a spell-like ability similar to "Psychic Powers", and have the opportunity to ask six questions to a mysterious being through prayer each week.

For fledgling spellcasters, this pet is quite convenient to use. But even the weakest demons are demons after all, and they covet the soul of their master all the time—dragging it into the abyss and filling their bodies.

Egu's youngest son got up as soon as he received the news from Kwasdemon. As he recited the incantation he had prepared, a secret passage appeared in the corner of the dark room.

"Hurry up and get in!" he yelled at Tooth in a very anxious tone, "it's the trap set by the consul and the glove to keep no one else from finding out that we're meeting here!"

The villain, who was shocked by his tone, quickly stood up, and without doubt, he beckoned his two bodyguards to enter the secret passage together. But they only walked a few dozen paces down, and found that it was actually a dead end.

When Fangfang thought of something in horror and wanted to turn around and rush out of the secret passage, he was thrown into the secret passage with a condescending fireball technique. The youngest son of the Egu family had been prepared to make sure that Tooth and his men were dead.
