Chapter 42 Political Landscape

After the balance of power in Faturi City was disrupted, the political landscape can be described as a sudden change. Previously, the first family was detached, the second and fourth families were friendly, the third and fifth families were not in a stable alliance, the medium-sized families were independent or had their own alliances or walls, and the small families joined alliances or vassals nearby. Generally speaking, it is a super and many strong pattern.

When the Sanzang family emerged, the fourth family, Ages, played a negative role, suffered certain losses and was asked for post-war reparations. The two families were not far away, and the mother of the Ajers family was unwilling to fight with the Sanzang family, so she endured the pain and was generous when ceding the land and paying the indemnity, and took the opportunity to join the "Unity and Progress Alliance" of the Sanzang family, the Taysren family, and the Kailaze family.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the first and second families immediately formed a "friendship and mutual assistance alliance" to fight against it.

Therefore, the current Faturi City has become a double-strong pattern.

The slogan of the Progressive Alliance is "unite and work together for development, academic exchanges and common progress", and the policy is to vigorously develop internal affairs, one must recuperate, the second is academic exchanges, and the third is to work together to attack the resource points occupied by the monster. In addition, there is a secret plan that has not been announced to the public.

Recuperation is what everyone wants. The foundation of the Sanzang family is unstable, the middle and low-end forces are weak, and the number of people is still half of it, and it has not been unified, and the actual ruler Mike does not plan to continue to expand, and it is expected that he will cultivate for a long time; the Teslun family first fought the lizard cave and then built a teleportation array and then split the family, no matter how bright the future is, after all, it is injured at the moment, and it takes a long time to recover, and it is busy domesticating the flame twelve-headed snake lizard, and it has neither the intention nor the ability to forge ahead; the Ages family has completely lost more than forty elite warriors because of its participation in the war and accidental injury, and then ceded land and paid compensation, and the prestige of the master mother has greatly damaged the family's political turmoil, and the internal problems must be solved first; only the Kailaze family is intact, very eager to take advantage of the situation to expand, but the allies have to recuperate, and they can only recuperate.

Academic exchange was an alliance that the Sanzang family strongly advocated for the purpose of reorganizing the Faturi Priest's College and the Mage Academy, and other families agreed to it for various reasons. The alliance has decided to open third, fourth, and fifth-order classes, all of which have divine and arcane arts, and the four major families must in principle produce the same number of instructors, and both instructors and families need to be evaluated by students, and instructors and families with too poor evaluations will be punished accordingly; the sixth-order arcane class is being prepared in secret, the teaching location has not been decided, and the divine class is ready to see the effect of the fifth-order divine magic class before being determined; the seventh-order only the arcane class, except for the instructor, it is exactly the same as the same sixth-order class. Due to the sixth-order and seventh-order instructors of the Sanzang family, the number of low-level instructors was exempted.

It is only natural to cooperate in attacking the resource points occupied by the monsters. The 346 families are all on the east side of Faturi, and as long as they work together to expand the defensive line, they can occupy all the nearby resource points. However, the alliance has just begun to form, and there are certain problems in mutual trust and cooperation, which need to be tempered through teaching and small-scale joint actions first.

The slogan of the Mutual Aid Alliance is "friendly exchanges to strengthen trade, and active mutual assistance to promote the economy", and the policy is to vigorously develop foreign trade. In addition, there is a secret plan that has not been announced to the public.

Dora's allies are the result of the situation. The two-on-four strength and seats are at a disadvantage, and more families need to be drawn into the alliance to balance the strength. Because the first family has been accumulating power for a long time, and there are many small and medium-sized families around the first and second families, they are still one step ahead, so the progress is very smooth, and 11 allies have been pulled in just ten days, and the progress alliance, which is one step behind and the main members are crowded together, has only pulled 5 traditional vassal families, and another 7 are still waiting. This makes the Mutual Aid League surpass the Progressive Alliance in terms of mid- and low-end strength.

Academic exchange is a necessary means to counter the Progressive League. It is also the third, fourth, and fifth order classes that begin to prepare, and the sixth and seventh order classes will be decided later. Their advantage is that they have a 7th-order divine skill that the Progress Alliance does not have, and the disadvantage is that the mage is obviously not as strong as the two of the Sanzang family.

There are several considerations for the armed exercises. In terms of family strength, the first family has a clear trade advantage, and in order to make more use of this advantage, it is necessary to obtain further resources and send more caravans to nearby cities to find trading partners, all of which need to be supported by force. Geographically, the first family is north of Faturi, the second family is in the southwest, and the fifth family of the Progressive Alliance in the northwest is separated by a lot of inconvenience, so it is necessary to take more small-scale actions to determine the new sphere of influence of the two sides. In addition, there are certain problems in mutual trust and cooperation in the early formation of the alliance, which need to be tempered through teaching and small-scale joint actions.

At the same time, all capable families began to create Tier 6 Anti-Magic Field Scrolls.

This Tier 6 spell is the caster's nemesis, forming an anti-magic field within 3 meters of the recipient, and its effect is to disable the charged magic element, thereby invalidating all its spell-like supernatural powers. The only magic that can pierce through the anti-magic field is a physical attack spell, whether it's creating an acid ball to throw over or Mike's Misaka Mikoto's super electromagnetic cannon. But being able to penetrate does not mean that it can be released, and after discovering that the iron turtle is coming, as long as one person uses teleportation and one person lands on the ground, several people are on guard in the anti-magic field, and no matter how high the opponent's skills are, they can only be dumb fire.

Other tactics to crack the Iron Tortoise are also being studied, and the specifics are not for outsiders.

After the council ended that day, the Mother of Kemoller, like the other Mothers, went home and immediately held a family meeting to discuss whether the key to the Iron Tortoise tactics of the Sanzang family was people or objects, and how to deal with them. It soon came to the general conclusion that it was impossible to determine which one was the key to the person or object, and that the spell had a way to break but it was not easy, and it was impossible to determine whether they had any other means.

After the discussion, it was concluded that the best way was to delay the time to continue studying peaceful confrontation, to use assassination methods prudently, and to avoid a decisive battle as much as possible.

Seeing that the Progressive Alliance was immersed in the development of internal affairs, the heart of the mother of the Kemoller house relaxed slightly, she was extremely worried that the other party was crazy to recruit members to improve their strength and launch a decisive battle in a short time, and the other party's current behavior could be said to be exactly what she wanted.

Although the strength of the Progressive Alliance is not small and there is a lot of room for recovery, even if it is calculated when their strength was not damaged before, it is only slightly stronger than the Mutual Aid Alliance, and they still lose both sides in the fight. As the first family of the Faturi, Kmole has a lot of leverage to help the allies improve their strength and keep the overall strength of the two sides evenly balanced.

Kemoller was not afraid of the Progressive League, he was afraid of the people who could use that spell, and most of all he was afraid of killing without any scruples.

Kemoller could relinquish the throne of the First Family, but he was not willing to bow down to others without dignity. If that person wants to develop the family, to influence the decisions of the council with his strength - as the Kemoller family has done before, the family can accept it. But if that person wants to conquer by force, the family must rise up and resist.

Assassination is a last resort, it is too difficult to assassinate a person of that strength, and once he is caught, he may reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, and the harm is very huge.

Now he wants to build, and that's good. Kemoller should make a confrontational gesture and let him put more effort and effort into construction, which can effectively prevent him from going crazy with impunity.

The Lady of Tesren did not know what the Mother of Kemoller was thinking, but she was also very worried about Master Tang Seng's abuse of force to dominate the Faturi. In addition, she had another very headache, how many people to send to learn from Master Zewahid?

There are only two people in the family who have the ability to learn the 6th order of the arcane, and the only person who has the ability to learn the 7th order of the arcane is the chief mage of Nimes, so he is the best candidate. But he is very important to the family, and he doesn't know if there will be any accidents if he goes for half a year. It's okay to send another mage who knows Tier 5 spells, but he can't mechanic Tier 7 spells......

On this issue, the mistress had a small meeting with the chief mage of Nimes or the eldest daughter, Dahni.

"Wouldn't it be too dangerous to go to the surface, if you are accidentally discovered by the evil surface race, you will be imprisoned by them and stripped of your soul. The eldest daughter, Dahni, was worried. Naturally, it is very bad for the chief mage to have an accident, but it is also very bad to return from school, and too strong strength is not conducive to the stability of the family.

"Well, I know this, but if I have to go to the surface to learn high-level spells, then I am willing to take risks for the sake of my family. Chief Mage of Nîmes spoke. He didn't want to go, but if there was no other way, then he insisted on going.

"What do you think of what Mr. Kidd has been talking about these days? Mistress Taysren asked.

Mr. Kidd is Master Zewahid's Raven Pet, taking the place of Master Jersey, who is "injured and a little unaccustomed to teaching for the time being".

The so-called magic pet is a special magical beast formed by mage warlock and other arcane users who fuse a small part of their soul with small animals. The good thing is that in addition to the magic pet itself, the owner can also get some insignificant abilities from the small animal. The disadvantage is that because of the fusion of souls, the death of the demon pet will bring a lot of damage to the owner.

Because the demon pet's own soul is very weak and its intelligence is very low, it will be completely controlled by the owner after fusing with a powerful soul, even if it is only a small part of a powerful soul, and become a clone-like existence. The power of the magic pet comes from the owner, and as long as the owner is willing, the magic pet can have the same knowledge and experience as the owner, and can be roughly regarded as a small animal form in which the owner is deprived of special abilities such as casting spells. The owner is knowledgeable, the magic pet can also be knowledgeable, the master is good at fighting, and the magic pet can also be good at fighting.

Ravens are very special, and the difference from other small animals is that they have enough articulation organs, and they can speak after becoming a demon pet. Therefore, Mr. Raven Kidd is indeed able to teach.

"Alas, after all, it's just a demon pet, and its intelligence is far inferior to that of the master himself, and it is impossible to cast a spell demonstration, and the effect is very different, didn't Daheni go today. Chief Mage of Nîmes sighed. The key figures of the Taysren family knew that the Jersey Master had returned, and that he was only a stand-in to cover people's eyes.

"So, isn't it feasible to ask it to explain high-level spells here?"

Chief Mage Nimes thought for a moment and said, "It's better than not always talking,"

"Well, it's not easy. The lady sighed, "Can't Master Tang Seng explain?"

"The master said that he was too young to study for a long time, and his theoretical foundation was not solid and he had no experience in this area, and he was not as good as Mr. Kidd, and he had at least long-term experience in explaining low-level spells. Chief Mage of Nîmes explained.

Mr. Kidd does have a lot of teaching experience, and the mages of the Dragon Palace, that is, the apprentices of Master Zevahid, are basically taught by him and his apprentices who have learned something, and the master himself only teaches the ring method and the key parts of the 3rd order, and then mentions a few 4th order spells.

"And some time ago, the master did tell us about the 3rd order bread making technique and how to upgrade to the 5th level and use it underground, that spell he uses every day, extremely skilled, but it gives people the feeling, alas, it is really not as good as Mr. Kidd's explanation. yes, Dahny. Chief Mage Nîmes shook his head.

"This, the master also has his own merits, at least the spell casting demonstration is very good. ”

"That's right......" the mistress nodded. There is no way to do it, it is quite rare for a human being to have this level, and it is very normal to speak badly. "Then you can only go to the surface to study?"

"Unless you agree to Master Zewahid's conditions. ”

"No, I can't. That thing is the treasure of the family, how can it be used by outsiders, and what if the family is safe. "Dahney is resolute.

Master Zevahid agrees to come underground to teach, on the condition that he becomes an Elder and gains access to the teleportation circle, and that only Chief Mage of Nimes is neutrally supported by the key members of the family.

"Then you have to go to the surface. Chief Mage of Nimes was melancholy.

"How many people are going to go, we are sending out 5 mages who have obtained the magic pattern to facilitate the ring law, right, and how many guards are you going to bring?" asked the mistress.

"I'm counting too, so there's only 4 Demonic Mages. In terms of guards, the master means that it is good to bring just two, after all, other families in the alliance also have to send people, and a main mage with at least one fourth-order priest must also bring guards, and the strength is already very strong. I'm only going to take one with Elemma, but there must be slaves. ”

Elema is the personal concubine of Chief Mage Nimes, and she is very capable both in bed and in bed.

"It's okay, it's important to have people who can go, and if there are too many people, it's very troublesome. The mistress nodded. "Then you pick a slave, the mage told me to think about it. ”

"Yes. ”

"You haven't decided when you're leaving, are you?"

"No, the master has been leading everyone to set up a summoning circle recently, and there is still a debate within the alliance, and it will be a month or two before you want to leave at the earliest. It's just that we should pick out the people first and equip them well, so as not to catch up when the time comes, after all, a lot of our equipment can only be used underground. ”

"Well, it's about getting ready. If nothing else, let's do it today. ”

Wukong is extremely bored these days, and it is a kind of dedication and achievement of the goal, but the main reason is not the loss of his own methods. He prepares a series of ingenious plots to peel off the walnuts called the Phaefamily for a delicious meal, but Mike, who has always been good at intrigue, changes the hammer this time, which makes the fruits of victory less delicious.

"Mike, do I think we need to continue to do something?"

"Don't. Regardless of whether we have the ability or not, what is the use of saying that we want a tattered Faturi, it is better to try to make them imperceptibly used by us through means of trade, and it is enough to do this now. ”

Wukong realized: It turned out to be a strategy of reshuffling and peaceful evolution with a thunderous blow. This can indeed be said to be a good strategy, but the problem is that the execution cycle is too long, and he will probably not execute it himself, so he does not have much opportunity to participate. Alas, running around as a bodyguard all day long, you can only perform short and fast operations, so that you can't display your talent......

"Speaking of which, we've been traveling together for more than two years, and we've gotten a lot of good things, but you don't seem to get much benefit. There are many beautiful women here, and there are enough magic materials and masters who are good at enchanting, so there is nothing you want?"

Goku thinks that Mike is not bad, but he really doesn't need these things at the moment. He is a battle-hardened hell refiner, and his combat experience and skills are no longer of much help, and the most urgent need is to increase or purify the essence of hell, but he has never found a feasible way in the main plane. The equipment is useless at the moment, and he is now deprived of the essence of hell and does not need any good equipment. Beauty can't be used for the same reason.

Well, he still has a need, and it's very strong.

With the three-piece set for so long, Goku had figured it out and no longer thought it was a serious waste of his precious infernal nature. As long as you can go back to hell and have a three-piece suit, safety shouldn't be a problem. The essence of hell can be practiced by himself, but the three-piece set of equipment that echoes himself very strongly is the only one he has seen in his life, even if it can't help him overcome the hurdle that he couldn't overcome before, it can also greatly increase his actual combat power and produce a breakthrough.

"Can you ask the teacher to use that thing to help me make a piece of equipment into a four-piece set?"

"Well, you can try it, it's hard to say if you can achieve it. We got a lot of magic materials from the teacher this time, and when we sent them over, I wanted to ask the teacher to help me make a ring, but I don't know if it will be possible. Mike scratched his head, Goku's requirements were too high-end.

"Well, let's try it. Goku nodded. It turns out that they are mainly playing here for magic materials and enchantments, which is indeed very reasonable and normal.

"Anyway, what the hell is that thing, every time I mention you, it's mysterious. ”

"You don't know?" Wukong was stunned, but this is the best, this kind of thing is life-threatening, and the less people know, the safer. "That thing, don't say it, don't say it......"

But soon he thought of another thing: "How did you get that multi-functional ring, didn't you mean to move the teacher?"

"Well, there's a special reason for this...... Actually, I have something to do with you, and I can tell you, but I must not let anyone else know, including Sal and Sermena. ”

"Tell me about it. Goku was more curious, Mike rarely hid from those two, mostly involving his secret missions.

"You know the Nether scroll, I got a page from Coria. ”

"I see...... "Wukong suddenly realized. This kind of thing is actually easy to guess, Owo is a great arcanist left over from the ancient Nether Empire, and is naturally very interested in the Nether scroll. Mike comes out on a secret mission and asks him to collect it as it should. It's just that I didn't expect Mike to actually get a page.

"If you have another chance to get it, it should be possible that the teacher will agree to help you build equipment. "Michaelly lures Goku," the teacher told me the whereabouts of a few of these pages, or should we try?"

"Excuse me. Let's talk about it when I have the opportunity to meet your teacher who doesn't know his whereabouts. Goku flatly refused. Although the equipment is good, life is more important. The world's top spellcasters only know their whereabouts and don't take them, they go to fool around, isn't that slow? "If the equipment doesn't work, you can see if you can ask your teacher to give me some of that thing first. ”
