Chapter 35: The Pope, the Court, and the Ministry of Magic—Three-legged!

A petite hummingbird glides gracefully across the buildings in a graceful arc, aiming for the Meditation Tower, the symbol of the Midland

It is a towering silver tower, the tower body is straight, the top of the tower is like a blade, standing in the continuous building complex, simple and majestic, like a group of phoenixes and cranes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The hummingbird flapped its wings and pressed against the tower to reach into the sky, as if planned, a window opened at the top of the tower, and the hummingbird flew into the room with a whoosh......

There was an old man in a white-striped red robe standing by the windowsill, and from his old countenance, he had stepped into his prime, and his past experiences were imprinted on his face with indelible vicissitudes.

The hummingbird flew next to the old man's ear for a while, as if to convey some information, and the old man's eyebrows suddenly condensed a touch of sorrow, and then nodded slightly, and the hummingbird that got the signal landed on the windowsill, and its body suddenly set itself on fire, turning into a stream of ashes and disappearing into the world forever.

The old man approached the windowsill, overlooking the imposing complex below, and peeking at the vague figures of thousands of people in the street, his eyes full of sighs.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

There was a knock on the door of the room, and the old man turned to signal the other party to come in, and then he saw a middle-aged man in an emerald green robe, with a capable appearance and a serious face, strolling in.

The man of "Mo Lao ......" bowed to show respect, he had short brown hair that was naturally curled, a pair of brown pupils flashing with fine light, and the mustache that surrounded his lips was neatly arranged, giving people a calm and capable feeling.

"Char, I sense that you have half a foot in the realm of the Titled Magister, and I want you to promise me one thing. Mo Lao sat on the futon next to the desk and admonished Char: "After advancing to the title of Magician, he still wears the green robe of the Great Magician. ”

"You mean you want me to hide my strength?" Char asked.

"That's right. Mo Lao said abruptly: "Now the dark tide of the world is surging, my ancestor tried to destroy the Gate of Annihilation, and was strangled by three high-level gatekeepers of the Starfall Realm, and my teacher has been missing for eighteen years without appearing, the meditation tower is the base camp of the Ministry of Magic, and it has the most powerful armed force of the Ministry of Magic, and it is also a strategy to be able to hide his strength and make the enemy despise." ”

"The subordinate understood. Xia Ya paused, and said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Mo Lao, the reason why I came to meet you this time is very urgent, the Pope secretly drew up a very unfavorable proposal through the Senate at dawn today, and it is estimated that it will soon be announced to the world." ”

Hearing this, Mo Lao smiled and said approvingly: "It's right to hand over the spy organization of the Ministry of Magic to you, tell me about it, and see what kind of proposals those ill-intentioned rats want to release to frame us." ”

Char organized his words and said, "You should know that in the Eternal World, the Heavenly Emperor Sect and the Ministry of Magic have always been on the same page, but the two major forces are always afraid that the Yellow Sparrow is behind, so neither of them dares to use all their forces to annihilate the other. Now that the Eastern Soil Alliance is becoming stronger, the Pope has decided to establish a pluralistic order after years of demonic warfare, hoping to curb the disorder of the empire through a series of laws and law enforcement organizations.

If this proposal passes, we at the Ministry of Magic may be able to fight with the Pope, but in order to maintain order in the Empire, we must mobilize the elites of the Ministry and the Pope to form a law enforcement organization in order to curb the actions of both warring parties in the event of a civil war or invasion by foreign enemies. ”

"These eagle dogs of the Holy Clan, this move is really ruthless!" Mo Lao blushed and angrily rebuked: "There is only one orthodoxy in the empire, that is, the imperial court under the rule of the imperial family, if we agree to this proposal, it means that we are in alliance with the Pope, and then we are not enemies of the imperial court!? If we do not agree to this proposal, it means that our Ministry of Magic has no intention of ending war with the Pope, but I am afraid that these sanctimonious people will also write and direct some terrifying incidents, so that the prestige of the Ministry of Magic will be discredited and become the object of spurning by the people!"

Char clenched his fists and said angrily: "Mo Lao, they have already done it! Many things that have happened during this time are very unfavorable to us, what black mages slaughter civilians, the Ministry of Magic personnel collude with the Eastern Earth Alliance, or the Ministry of Magic sends killers to assassinate the clergy...... Although these are all framed by the Pope, how can the common people discern it? I am afraid that if we do not agree to this proposal, tomorrow some "Ministry of Magic" will invade the palace and try to usurp the rule of the Empire. ”

With a bang, the case was slapped into powder by Mo Lao, and he suddenly stood up and said angrily: "These dog things, they actually use this kind of conspiracy against us!"

Xia Yahan was silent, not daring to stimulate Mo Lao again.

"Char, tell us what you think. Seeing that Char was frightened by himself, Mo Lao restrained his anger and asked softly.

"I think so, since the Pope's move is so insidious, let's just play ball with them, and drag it on for as long as we can, after all, the court is not vegetarian, although they have been hibernating, but this time the Ministry of Magic is led by the Pope's nose, I think the royal family will definitely help us to relieve the siege. Char suggested.

"You're right, we'll play ball with these eagle dogs, and wait for that girl to come out and help us. Mo Lao nodded slightly, "Before they release this proposal, you go and spread the news that I have been in retreat, and after they publish the proposal, they will say that such a major proposal needs my approval, and only after I come out of retreat can this proposal be considered." ”

"Mo Lao, even you have to retreat...... It's not good, what are we going to do if the Pope were to do it to us during your retreat?" Char said worriedly.

"Then I naturally want to get out, you doll, it's not that you don't know that I'm in a fake retreat, I don't have time to follow those old guys from retreat for more than ten years. Mo Lao scolded with a smile.

"But the proposal is not just—"

Mo Lao waved his hand to interrupt Char's words: "Then we can only find other ways to deal with the Pope...... I still have official documents to review, so you can go out first. ”

Char shook his head and sighed, said goodbye to Mo Lao, and after leaving the room and walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and sighed: "If the Storm Lord returns, Mo Lao will not have to sit in the position of the twenty-eighth minister, with his strength as a peak title magician, it only takes twenty or thirty years to advance to the Law God, but now his strength has stagnated in order to sit in the Ministry of Magic, and it is really uncomfortable to see him so exhausted......

In the minister's office, Mo Lao stood by the windowsill and looked up at the flowing clouds, his eyes flashed with tears, and he muttered to himself: "Char, do you know that my teacher can't come back......

The Void Ring in the index finger suddenly burst into a streamer, and then a broken silver-white jade plate was suspended in front of Mo Lao's body, he looked at the jade card to hide his face and wept sadly: "Eighteen years ago, the teacher's life card was broken, and I cried so much that day, every time you ask me where the teacher is, I have to hold back my emotions and lie to you...... I kept this secret from me for eighteen years, and my heart ached, and I couldn't sleep every night, thinking about revenge for my teacher all the time...... But what hurts more than me is the teacher, I can't find the teacher in the soul domain, if his soul body is not refined by the Pope, then he must be hiding in some dark corner, fleeing in fear every day, avoiding the capture of the soul eaters......"

Mo Lao cried for a long time, until the tear ducts dried up, he stopped condensing, and looked at the broken life trace card suspended in front of him with a dull expression, and his old haggard face made people see pity.

However, in the next moment, a white light appeared on the broken fate card, although it was not easy to detect under the sunlight, but who was Mo Lao, that white light naturally could not escape his eyes.

"It's ......"

Mo Lao used his spiritual power to put the fate trace cards together, and suspended in front of him was a silver-white jade plate in the shape of an equilateral triangle, although the cracks were still there, but the obscure runes in it could still be seen clearly. He pointed the tips of his horns in all directions, and finally, the Destiny Signboard resurfaced in the southeast direction, and it was even more blazing than before.

[Mo boy, take this thing, teacher, I'm going to do a big thing.] This is my Destiny Card, you should know that it will break when I die, and if it does emit white light, it proves that it has detected my Trace. But in any case, don't go to the teacher, if fate decides, then we will meet again after all. ]

The teacher's words echoed in his mind, and tears flashed in Mo Lao's eyes again, but this time he cried with joy......
