The office was quiet, Jepps didn't dare to speak, Ayers didn't want to speak, Wright felt that he didn't have anything to do, and Cobb didn't bother himself when he saw that no one cared about him, and the scene was a little cold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Squeak", the office door was pushed open, and Cobb and Jepps stared at the same time to see who had broken in.

"Minister, the teleportation array is ready!" A small clerk came, perhaps sensing the strange atmosphere in the room, and left in a hurry after dropping a word.

This sentence was like dropping a spark in a gunpowder pile, and the originally quiet scene was broken in an instant.

"Jepps, now is the time for you to make a decision, you better think about the consequences of choosing the wrong one!" Cobb was forcing the head of the branch in front of him to speak.

Jepps's forehead was sweating, of course he understood the threat hidden behind the words of the wealthy businessman, but at the same time, he also knew better that if Ayers, who had been sitting without making any statement, would be shocked.

Jepps, who weighed the pros and cons, finally made up his mind.

"Your teleportation array is ready, please come over!" Jepps sent Ayres and Wright to the door, and called a staff member to guide the two of them, "I think you also know that I still have some business to attend to here, so I can't accompany them personally." ”

Ayres still looked cool and didn't speak, and followed the staff who came directly, and as for Wright, when he saw Ayrs leaving, he quickly followed.

"I think you'll give me an explanation!"

It is not easy for a character to climb to a certain status, and it was the eagerness to blind Cobb's sense of smell that led to the previous scene. When Jepps saw that he had let out the cruel words, he still asked the two to use the teleportation array in front of him, and Cobb, who had calmed down, immediately smelled an unusual smell.

"Please understand that the goods were handed over to me by the one who gave them no mistakes, which is why I am so anxious!"

Jeppus's family still needs to keep in touch with the wealthy businessman in front of him, but they have already softened in disguise, and Jeppus naturally can't continue to pretend to be stupid.

"That one just now is a sixth-level magician. ”

Needless to say, Jepps explained everything in a simple sentence. Cobb gasped, his back covered in a cold sweat that suddenly broke out.

Cobb couldn't sit still, stood up and bowed to Jeppus, "Thank you! I have made a note of this kindness, and as long as I Cobb is alive, I will definitely repay you." ”

If it weren't for Jepps's insistence, if he really used the teleportation array in front of them today, it would be inevitable that there would be a bloody storm and a river of blood, and countless people would have died because of it. Cobb knew that, which is why he thanked Jepps.

Seeing Cobb leave his office, Jepps immediately gave a death order, no matter how high his status or wealth, no matter what the reason, no one except the magician was allowed to borrow the teleportation array.

When more than a dozen sixth-level magicians left the city of Lundus, Jeppus breathed a sigh of relief and sighed that his order was finally timely. The magnates who had been denied access to the teleportation array had initially complained about Jeppus, and some of them were already preparing to take action against Jeppus' family. When the news came, all of them offered to give Jepps' family a large fortune.

Jeppes's father was also a blessing in disguise because of this incident, and was successfully promoted to viscount.

Mecca is the only city in a kingdom where there is no lord in charge of the day-to-day management and no guards to maintain law and order. The permanent population here is definitely not as large as that of Wangdu, but the degree of prosperity is better than that of Wangdu.

But this was not the case in Mecca back then, when Mecca was just an ordinary, backward village with no future for development, and most of the people in the village moved away in order to make a living, leaving only some older people who were unwilling to leave.

That all changed with a move, and when six powerful magicians formed the Magic Society, a significant problem arose - the number of magicians was still too small. In the past, the way of masters and apprentices greatly limited the increase in the number of magicians, and for this reason, after several discussions, the six powerful magicians decided to establish a magic school so that more gifted people could learn magic.

The location of the school of magic was chosen here, and Mecca, as the closest village to the school, soon developed. It took many years to grow from a small village to a city and other places, but Mecca took a very short time.

Learning magic itself is a matter of talent, but it is a process that pays off after a long period of commitment. Ordinary family life is difficult, let alone supporting a child for a long time to study wholeheartedly!

In addition, the crystal balls used to test talents are quite precious, not only are they limited in quantity, but they cannot be made, and all the existing crystal balls are passed down. So in order to limit the frequency of use of the crystal ball, the magic school decided to pay a hefty fee for each use.

This does make it impossible for those who want to rub the crystal ball to do anything, but it also brings another interesting result, that is, the people who can enter the school are members of the aristocracy. How could the children of the nobility, accustomed to the glitz and luxury, endure such a hard life, but they could not change the decision of the magicians. After all, it's okay for their aristocratic status to order ordinary people, but to use them to order magicians is to kill themselves.

The location of the school cannot be changed, but the environment outside the school can be changed. With the combined actions of many nobles, Mecca quickly became a metropolis. In the beginning, the nobles who developed Mecca fought and quarreled over the position of lord of Mecca, and no one would take the initiative to let go.

In the end, this matter came to the royal capital, and the king had no good way, after all, it was not a fight between one or two families. I don't know who came up with the idea, but the helpless king left this thorny problem to the six magicians who founded the magic school to decide.

One of the magicians asked the nobles to take turns ruling the government, but the nobles quarreled over the length of the reign, the order of governance, and the choice of the rulers, and could not come to a result for a long time. The magician who made this suggestion was furious, and he personally came forward to gather all the nobles together, demanding that a plan must be made before dark, or else he would bear the consequences.

Under strong pressure, the nobles changed their previous procrastination style and came up with a plan with extremely high efficiency. The first lord of the castle was born from one of the most powerful nobles, and of course, this has something to do with the fact that this family has produced a highly talented magical genius.

The first lord of the city was ambitious, recruiting guards and building on a large scale, and Mecca quickly developed into a first-tier city. The geographical location attracted merchants from all over the continent, and goods from all over the world gathered in the city of Mecca. It can be said that in Mecca there is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy.

The lord of the castle, who had performed well, was favored by the king, and after the end of his term, he was transferred to the royal capital as a cabinet minister. The second lord of the castle came from another family, and with the example of his predecessor in front of him, he naturally wanted to work hard to behave and have a good home at the end of his term.

It's a pity that this one is powerful in words, but his actual actions are not satisfactory. In order to install his own people, he expelled all the officials left by his predecessor for reasons. It's a pity that his own people don't think the same as him, how can he balance his heart with such a prosperous city and a meager salary.

So these people gave birth to their own sinful hands under the control of greed, and the blackmailed merchants could only swallow their anger in order to continue to do business here. Once they were not discovered, twice no one complained, three times there was still no silence, and gradually, these people became more and more emboldened.

What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom. The top started to make money, and the people below couldn't help it anymore and started to do it. It's just that the people above make money from those big businessmen, and these people below can't reach them at all, so what should I do?

Driven by interests, no matter how stupid a person is, he will use his brain. Since the quality is not good, then we will expand the quantity. As a result, there is an entrance fee for the location of the city gate, a sanitation fee and a patrol fee for the streets, and a correction fee and a guarantee fee for making mistakes. All of a sudden, chaos reigned in the city of Mecca. Someone reported this matter to the city lord, and the city lord, who only cared about his own future, finally chose to suppress the matter.

The city lord who thought that it was a big deal and handed it over to the next one to solve it didn't expect that he would always meet ghosts after walking too much at night. A guard blackmailed a student from a magic school, and the key point was that the student had just been promoted to a third-level magician and was taking his classmates out to celebrate.

Young people are strong-blooded, and when they encounter this kind of thing on a happy day, they do it on impulse. If you just beat someone, it would be fine, but this student directly used magic to kill people in order to show off.

This time the matter became a big problem, and after the school knew about it, it directly withdrew the student from school. But this matter is not like this, the family behind the student who was expelled from school asked the city lord to give an explanation, and the school also demanded that there must be a reasonable explanation for this matter.

Under such intense pressure, the lord hanged himself in his own home, other high-ranking officials committed suicide, and the soldiers involved in the extortion also died. The administrative structure of the city of Mecca can be regarded as a real existence, and the cause of this catastrophe was actually only the soldiers who demanded a silver coin from the students, so it was also called the "silver coin change" by later generations.

The position of the lord of Mecca, which had become so hot, suddenly turned into a hot potato, and no one dared to come here, because no one dared to guarantee that he would be next. The scramble became a concession, and so on, and Mecca became the only city without a city lord.

A city without an administration is supposed to be chaotic and sinful, but Mecca is completely contrary to this common sense, and the order here is not a place to stay on the road or at night, but it is also a paradise. In fact, it is also very easy to understand, if you meet a random person on the street here, it may be a student from the school next to you, as long as your head is still working, you know that you must not cause trouble here.

This is Mecca, the magical mecca in the hearts of ordinary people, because Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has been destined to be deprived of them from the day it was born!
