III-47: The Gamble
readx;? Like the United Nations, the Magic Association has five permanent members, the same China, the United States, Britain, France and Russia, China is represented by "Wu", the United States is represented by a magical society called "God of Freedom", the British representative is not "King", but a representative of the Magic Society named "Amos", France is the "Andrew" magic club, and Russia is an ancient magic association "Yaruf". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Demon Association, listening to its name, does not match "Wu", but because the strength of "Wu" is still squeezed into the five councilors, and the Japanese Ninja Gate is questioned due to its assassin nature, coupled with the discord between China and Japan, it cannot become the sixth council.
However, this time, due to China's increasingly "martial" moves and the British "king" incident, the remaining four council members have a great deal to bring in Japan to become the sixth council member, and even intend to bypass the veto power of "wu" and impose sanctions on "wu". Although "Wu" and the Wumen alliance suppressed Tianmen, and at the same time rectified the entire martial arts, it was not unscathed, more or less still recuperating, and "Wu" was indeed unable to resist the entire Demon Association on its own, so it had to look for an alliance, but if Wumen was forced in, it would be equivalent to demonstrating to the Demon Association and declaring war. As the so-called World War I was successful, the war is always cruel, and it can never appear on the first choice, just a series of things happened, "Wu" pulled Wu Tian in, saying that it was joining forces with Wu Men, Wu Tian was a retiree, and said that there was no alliance, Wu Tian still had considerable influence in Wu Men, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
As long as Wu Tian's nephew enters the Academy of Magic, let alone "research" or "research", this incident alone is equivalent to giving the Demon Association a step, which can bring a buffer stage to things, which is the real purpose of No. 1.
If Wu Tian doesn't understand the truth of the people, it seems unlikely, but Wu Tian also has his own plans, and after thinking about it, Wu Tian can't think of any damage to his son, as for whether there will be any grievances, in Wu Tian's opinion, the key to the matter is to see how he acts.
What kind of danger will be brought by letting Wu Tian operate the whole thing, it is impossible for No. 1 not to guess, however, "Wu" is incompatible with the Demon Association, which is also clear to No. 1, plus the Demon Association has a history of more than 1,000 years, and "Wu" is only a few decades, which also makes the Demon Association have a feeling of being on top, otherwise this time it would not be arrogant enough to sanction "Wu", so No. 1 also has a gambling mentality, and the bet is all on Wu Tian, so it should be a warning to the Demon Association, "Wu" It's not easy to bully, so this time Wu Tian's authority to act is really quite large, and Li Zhi and Chen Shuxian, who accompanied him, have no right to restrict at all.
The cause and effect are speculation and no evidence, not to mention these, and the welcome banquet held by the Demon Association this night is a bit ignorant of the meaning of "Wu", after all, the "Wu" representative has not yet arrived, and the banquet has begun, although Wu Tian and others can also arrive at the scene soon after the banquet starts, but it is also a matter of putting down the luggage and not resting, the reason, you don't need to think about it to understand what it is.
This is a meeting held by the Demon Association, and the participants are delegations from all over the world, and they are naturally dressed differently, so the banquet is not particular about dress, which makes the little dragon who came with him very happy. In addition to Xiaolong, of course, Li Zhi and Chen Shuxian were also present with Wu Tian, but Wu Tianqi did not come, because he heard that all the envoys from various countries participated in the banquet, and all of them belonged to the political field, and he didn't like it, so he didn't participate.
The banquet was an open-air dance party, held in a large garden, Wu Tian and his party stepped into the banquet area, Xiaolong disappeared, probably looking for food alone, and Wu Tian and the three of them faced the five representatives of the envoys of the five countries who were different men and women, dressed differently.
Among the five of them was an old woman, who was Olivia, a British envoy and a member of the board of directors of the Demon Association, and a middle-aged man with a haughty demeanor was the French council member Bastet, and a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman, who was the American councillor Albert, and the short and fat man standing next to him was the Russian councillor Vasily, and the last one with a smile on his face, but how uncomfortable he looked was the representative of the Japanese envoy, Kazuta Muramoto.
"General Li has been tired all the way?" Buster stretched out his right hand to Li Zhi with a proud expression.
It is impossible not to notify the Demon Association of such a thing as "Wu" changing the executive director, but Buster deliberately still greeted Li Zhi with the gift of a messenger, which was obviously to give Wu Tian a dismount, Li Zhi couldn't help but be surprised by Buster's move, because he was afraid that Wu Tian would do something drastic, but the other party enthusiastically stretched out his hand, and he could only be forced to stretch out his right hand to shake it, and finally introduced Wu Tian to everyone with a little embarrassment.
"Our executive director will perform the duties of the director of the Demon Association on behalf of 'Wu', this is our executive director Wu, and we will also be director Wu. ”
Although Li Zhi did not leave a trace, he still fell behind, and all the directors nodded to Wu Tian with a smile, especially Buster, who still stretched out his right hand to Li Zhi and stretched out his right hand to Wu Tian.
"Oh", Wu Tian didn't seem to know Buster's identity, and put the wine glass in his hand into Buster's right hand: "Give me a glass of Chinese liquor, I can't get used to drinking this foreign wine." Then, Wu Tian looked at Olivia and the others again, "You are all here, directors, we have just arrived, plus this is a banquet, let's not talk about official business, only talk about Fengyue, and we will talk about official affairs later." ”
Buster's whole person froze there, and even the people watching on the side were stunned, even Li Zhi and Chen Shuxian didn't know what to do. Buster's face changed, and he wanted to shake the wine glass in his hand, but it would only attract more people's attention, and it would be even more embarrassing to lose his manners.
"Wu Dong, cough ......" Chen Shuxian was the first to react and leaned into Wu Tian's ear, "This gentleman is a French director." ”
"Oh?" Wu Tian suddenly realized, looked at Buster and then at Mta Muramoto on the very edge, "Don't say it earlier, I thought it was a waiter, I said, you look more energetic than him, more like a director than him." ”
Wu Tian's words could not relieve Buster, but Wu Tian took back the wine glass in his hand to free Buster's stiff hand in mid-air. It's just that Wu Tian's words later made the Japanese Muramoto Ichita, who had been smiling all the time, smile stiffly, and he couldn't laugh anymore. Wu Tian's words not only said that he was obscene in Muramoto Kazuta, but also laughed at him that the Japanese were not qualified to be the director.
"Ahem", Olivia on the side covered her mouth with her left hand and coughed twice, opening her mouth to relieve the siege for the two of them, "Director Wu is coming to Delhi City for the first time, how do you feel, this place is much better than the noisy world outside!"
"Well, that's good!" Wu Tian nodded, "But the weather here is still quite cold, you don't need to take too much care of us for the banquet, you also have to think about them, in fact, just run an indoor one." ”
This is an open-air banquet, although the city of Derry is not snowing heavily, but the temperature is still quite low, and although the banquet is protected by magic, there is no strong wind to blow in, but the temperature has not changed deliberately. For "martial" people, warriors are not afraid of cold, but for mages, this low temperature is a bit uncomfortable. Of course, it is not as unbearable as Wu Tian said, after all, each mage has its own magic weapon to keep itself warm, but it is said by Wu Tian that it is a place to take care of "Wu", which makes several people who want to make "Wu" lose some face are very uncomfortable in their hearts, but they can't refute Wu Tian, after all, Wu Tian is grateful for their kindness, as the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person.
"Hehe," Olivia chuckled to ease the embarrassment, among several countries, the Magic Society is headed by the United Kingdom, don't look at the United States in the outside world, but the history of the founding is too short, and it is still too late to start in the field of magic. With the hundreds of years of history of the United States, and the fact that the same clan as the United Kingdom has been despised, not to mention China's decades of time, it is inevitable that all countries will despise it, "Director Wu said with a smile, in fact, we were just saying, I don't know which team won this year's 'Tianhuo Cup' (Magic Ball Competition), I don't know what Director Wu's opinion is?"
Wu Tianzheng recruited a real waiter and asked him for a glass of Chinese liquor, the banquet was supposed to carry out the Chinese mission, but there was no shortage of liquor, but Wu Tian just took a sip, and was suddenly asked by Olivia, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, raised his head and thought for a moment before saying, "This ...... I really can't say, but I'm not really interested in what these kids play with, let alone research. ”
"Child?" Suddenly, a bright female voice sounded, and a young woman with short blond hair appeared beside Odoria, "Oh, hello Minister!"
The woman seemed to be passing by, and when she heard Wu Tian say this, she couldn't help but come forward angrily, while her companion was too frightened to step forward because she could see who was present.
"Miss Emily," Olivia cheered, who seemed to know the woman, "Director Wu, this is Miss Emily, the defender of this year's defending champion team, Team Crilith, Miss Emily, in the last edition, made her team not concede a goal all season, is a great player. In addition to entertaining the delegations of various countries, the banquet also invited the champion team of the previous year. ”
"Thank you," Emily turned to Olivia before turning to Wu Tian, "Is this Director Wu?" In your opinion, the 'magic ball' is a child's thing, so I boldly ask you to try it." ”
"How to compete?" Olivia on the side looked as if he was very interested in the matter itself, and actually grabbed the words, "This Director Wu is a master of martial arts!"
In fact, in the eyes of the British, "King" was injured by Wu Men, and his knowledge of Wu Tian was extremely limited, so Olivia said that Wu Tian was a martial arts master, half of which was guessed, and half of it was deliberate.
"It's very simple, I'm a guard player, as long as Director Wu can win the ball I guard, then Director Wu wins!"
Emily didn't know how to dig it out, she actually took out a long broom, stepped up with her thighs, and flew into the air with a "boom", and her companion who had not dared to step forward also came back to her senses at this time, and took a black fist-sized ball out of nowhere, and put it with both hands, and the ball also flew behind Emily with a psychic "boom", and from time to time it also "probed her brain".
"Win or lose?" Wu Tian was also stunned for a while, thinking that these Western chicks were also bold, how could they say that they were also foreign envoys, and she was a member of a small magic team who actually shouted at herself.
"Director Wu doesn't dare, right?" At this time, Kazuta Muramoto on the side said a little gloatingly.
It stands to reason that although Sino-Japanese relations are not very good, or even bad, but because of this, Japan is most concerned about China's intelligence, and there is no reason not to know Wu Tian's methods, so Muramoto Kazuta ridiculed at this time not only to avenge the previous incident, but also because, with Wu Tian's identity, although there is no problem with winning a little girl, it is not glorious, and Muramoto Kazuta is really gloating.
"Hehe," Wu Tian's eyes were cold, "Since it is a competition, winning or losing, it is a gambling game, and if there is a gambling game, there must be a bet, I don't know how much the Japanese envoy wants to bet?"
Muramoto Kazuta couldn't help but look stunned when he heard this, but he naturally didn't flinch, and stretched out a finger on the spot: "Ten gold coins!"
"Ten gold coins?"
"Director Wu, ten gold coins are equivalent to 10,000 euros from the outside world, and a small bet is a lot. The American Albert was indeed a businessman, and as soon as he heard the money, he immediately opened his mouth.
"Only 10,000 euros?" Wu Tian frowned, obviously apologizing for too little money.
"I'll bet 1,000 gold on Miss Emily to win!" Suddenly, among the people who had already begun to gather around, a young man shouted loudly, and raised his glass to Emily in mid-air, who seemed to be his fan, or even his suitor, in short, the second ancestor of a wealthy family or something.
"Oh, Master Jack of the Werther family is really a big deal!" Olivia exclaimed first, followed by a smile, it seems that the Werther family is from England.
"A thousand gold coins?" Wu Tian thought for a few seconds and nodded reluctantly, "Okay, less is less, but after all, I am bullying the small, you are sending me money to spend, and I am embarrassed to refuse, remember, you have ten gold coins!"
Eh, the village was stunned, thinking that his bet Wu Tian had refused, but who knew that Wu Tian still accepted all the orders, and his face couldn't help but change and he was very helpless.
"What are the rules?" Wu Tian put down the wine glass and gave it to the waiter who came to his side.
"It's very simple, you can also use a broom like her, in short, you can only use magic the whole time!" Olivia looked at Wu Tian, and the rest of the directors also looked at Wu Tian like a joke, especially Muramoto Kazuta, he knew that Wu Tian was skilled from intelligence, but it was obvious that Olivia was also guarding against this trick and restricted Wu Tian from using martial arts. "Oh, you don't need a broomstick, just grab the orb behind Miss Emily, but only magic!"
"As long as it's magic, anything?"
"Of course!" Olivia nodded, in her common sense, magicians need to use a wand to be able to use attribute damage magic, especially instantaneous magic, and without using a wand, they can only cast curse magic through a long period of chanting, which is not applicable in a highly athletic magic ball game.
"Since I said it's a child's thing, I've got to show you how we adults play magic! Whoever else is on Team Creelis, no, as long as it's on her side, you can all help her, help her stop me from winning the orb, that's fair, come on!"
Suddenly, Wu Tian raised his hands half-up, and began to chant loudly in his mouth, chanting in an unknown ancient language, and even the translators on the ears of the people present could not translate, proving that it was not the current known language.
Wu Tian's voice became higher and higher, and in the next second, under Wu Tian's feet, a magic array with lightning flashes appeared, and a trace of lightning continued to breed in the magic array, and the violent electric attribute made everyone standing beside Wu Tian have to retreat in shock.
"He can do magic, and he's not low-ranked!"
Originally, Wu Tian said that everyone could help Emily defend the magic ball behind her, and everyone still thought it was ridiculous, but now they didn't think so, because the magic electric attribute elements generated on the magic array were too strong, and even terrifying.
Although Wu Tian had something to say first, ordinary people didn't dare to come forward to help, and Olivia and others couldn't help with their own identities, only the members of the Cleiz team, and the teammates who usually trained with Emily didn't have such scruples, and began to join forces to add another layer of protection to Emily's protective shield.
Wu Tian's chanting continued, it was a long story, but in fact, it was only a few seconds, Wu Tian suddenly raised his hands above his head, and above his feet, two arc groups composed of countless electric arcs were pulled up by Wu Tian's hands, and the violent electric attribute seemed to cause a reaction of the electric attribute in the sky, and above the high altitude, a huge electric arc flashed, allowing everyone to see the dark high-altitude clouds clearly.
The weather in Derry City is not very good, thick clouds, low temperatures, but people who live in Derry City never thought that the thick clouds that they are used to seeing would make people feel so depressed and uneasy.
In the next moment, Wu Tian put an end to his chanting, and the electric arc caused by his hands suddenly came out of his hands and closed into a piece of lightning into the air, and at the moment when the magic array disappeared at Wu Tian's feet, a huge electric dragon swung its long tail and couldn't let go of it, and opened its terrifying huge mouth to bite Emily.
Poor Emily, when has she ever seen such a horrible magic? Strictly speaking, she's just a sports star, it's just that the sport is a little different from the outside world. Strictly speaking, she was still a school student, but she was studying magic. As a student, she has learned a lot of offensive magic, and she has practiced it a lot, but she really hasn't been directly involved in the real life-and-death struggle. Although her life was not as smooth as some of the Second Ancestors, and her life was even hard, it had nothing to do with the magic that could only be seen in life and death at this time. Stunned, Emily was completely stunned, not to mention her, even her teammates were also stunned the moment they saw the electric dragon appear, because they knew that the protective array they had used for Emily before was so small and vulnerable in front of this electric dragon.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, an old woman wearing a magic robe and carrying a magic hat flew over, and at the same time took out a magic wand and pointed at the high-altitude electric dragon, the magic element flashed, and a fire dragon rushed into the air and crashed into the electric dragon, but unfortunately the volume is still too different from the electric dragon, maybe the time is too short to use a higher-level magic, in short, it feels like a drop in the bucket, just do your best.
