Chapter 48: Secret Deliberation
To be sure, José Carlos agrees with Rashidiya. What can be achieved through negotiation does not have to be achieved by force. However, his wife is Gray Otto's own sister, and the other party promised a big benefit in the distribution of the spoils afterwards. So he was a little embarrassed.
And from the bottom of his heart, he didn't think that this airship built with a lot of money would lose to a magic tower. The flexible maneuverability of the airship doomed the magic tower to be passively attacked. The Tower of the Great Sage's light bomb attack array, although it is an attack magic suitable for land and air, it is extremely difficult to hit the flying airship.
Against enemies in the air, it is possible to use a wide range of attack magic, such as a thunder net or a sea of fire. As long as an enemy is swept to the tail by a magical attack, dealing damage, after two, three or several times, they will always fall to the ground due to injury or fatigue, and then they can be slaughtered. Many tactics for attacking flying Warcraft are arranged in this way, and the advantage of airships over flying Warcraft is that airships are more resistant to beating.
However, all these thoughts became less confident after seeing the magic patterns revealed by the Great Sage's Tower. José Carlos looked at his magician, who was good at building magic towers and was also the captain of the airship, and asked, "Master, what do you think is the chance of winning if the Great Sage's Tower and the Gaussberg fight each other?" ”
"I'm sorry, President, I can't estimate. Even if we play all the hole cards, the magic formation of that tower has been changed to the extent that I can't understand it, so it's hard to compare. ”
The casualties of the Cadiz district can only be regarded as a foolish act of profit. The biggest mistake is that they were killed, and now there is no righteous name to retaliate. If you help with the sanctions, you can do it easily, and it is not bad to exchange for some benefits; But if you have to pay a big price, whether the small profit you get is enough to make up for the loss, that is a big question.
So it was José Carlos' turn, and his mind was tormented.
"Teacher, can you see what level the owner of this feather belongs to?" The silence was broken by José Carlos's protégé, the Grand Magician Juan Javier, who had just walked through the door.
One of the most famous genius magicians in the southwest peninsula of the mainland, not only obtained the qualification of a formal magician at a very young age, but also obtained the title of 'great magician' in his thirties, and was recognized by the fourth southwest region at the same time. And he is also recognized by everyone, if he is willing to travel the world, he is the most likely man to get the title of Dharma Saint.
José Carlos was also puzzled by the sudden question from his protégé. I wanted to scold, but my eyes lit up at the feather handed in front of me, and I praised: "This is quite beautiful and complete wing feathers, and the owner of the feather is not an ordinary demonic beast." ”
Playing with brown and black wing feathers about the length of a forearm. It is full of life, and it is not like it was picked up because it fell off because of moulting. Moreover, the magic power contained in it is abundant, and the original owner of the feather should be a quite powerful flying demonic beast. José Carlos put the feather back on the table, and wanted to end it and bring the conversation back to its original point, but Juan continued:
"This is something that my students exchanged with the tower master's apprentice. Listen to my students, they have a basket of the same feathers. It is said that when the tower master's apprentice went to the headquarters of the Xijia district council, the tower master defeated the demonic beasts that attacked the magic tower and collected them. ”
"So what!" José Carlos's tone became stern. Talking about these trivial things in formal occasions, he also began to feel that he was very indecent as a student.
"I heard that in the Duoduolian Mountains in the Nonan District, a wave of Warcraft has started to fight for the king, and the reason is that the king who was originally guarding the town has disappeared. There was a four-winged eagle in the middle. ”
The crowd was frowning and displeased by Juan Javier's interruption. After the two seemingly unrelated messages were mentioned at the same time, everyone was still frowning, but they all looked at the feathers on the table.
Juan propped his hands on the table and asked his teacher again. He said, "Is it possible that this is the winged feather of the king?" ”
"This ...... Unlikely. ”
"Of course, I don't think it's possible." Juan unceremoniously sat down on the table, picked up the feather and played with it, and said, "But teacher." Regardless of whether the owner of this feather is a king or not, it can be determined that it is also a flying demonic beast that is not weak. This magic tower can take down such a magical beast, so does our airship still have an advantage? ”
"Maybe ......," José Carlos looked up in a weak heart, but couldn't continue.
"If you really decide to attack the tower, drop me off the ship first."
"You!"
"You keep thinking about it. There is a wave of inspector teams in front of them, thinking that this is just a rookie tower master, and it should be nothing. As a result, the three great magicians plus two magicians were gone. Now that I see you, I want to bet that the airship will not lose, if the bet is wrong, it will be XVIII (18) great magicians, XLV (45) magicians, and a bunch of apprentices. Look at it, the people you brought on the ship are all cronies, if they are all gone, do you expect those who are not qualified to be brought on the ship outside to not grow up? So why don't you get me off the boat, and if you have a chance, I can take care of your old lady and your granddaughter. ”
"Get out!" José Carlos blew his beard and glared in anger. The age gap between this little disciple and himself is quite large, but he does not respect the old and the virtuous at all. spoke bluntly and whitely, especially using his granddaughter's crooked brain, and several times he had the idea of strangling him. However, looking at the back of the disciple who left, he opened his mouth and shouted again, "Juan." ”
"Yes. Teacher, is there something wrong? If you want to explain the future, I only need the ring on the middle finger of your right hand, and I don't want anything else, so leave it to others. ”
"Think beautifully, you. I was trying to ask your student, that girl, what did she say? ”
"I want to get off the boat. That's all she said. ”
When it comes to celebrities like Juan Javier, it's no surprise that all sorts of news will attract attention. And the most eye-catching, in addition to having scandals with countless beauties, is that he once claimed that he didn't care about the association's meager subsidies and decided not to accept an apprentice for the rest of his life. Among the group of magicians who regard inheritance as destiny, such a rebellious declaration is still eye-catching.
Ten years after he became an official magician, this was indeed the case. Until more than a year ago, he accepted a girl in her early teens as a disciple, but he shocked the wizarding world a little.
Some rumors say that it was his illegitimate daughter who was exiled; It is also rumored that he has awakened certain peculiar sexual fetishes. But in the ears of the higher-ups, what they heard was another rumor, that the girl had an extremely rare gift for prophecy, which allowed this conceited genius to take in the extraordinary.
Although all rumors have not been confirmed, people of high enough level believe in the theory of prophetic talent. As Juan Javier's teacher, Jorsé Carlos should also be an insider. He asked such a question on such an occasion, which undoubtedly corroborated the truth of the rumors. It also makes people pay more attention to Juan's students' answers.
After answering his teacher's question, Juan smiled at the crowd and was about to leave. Just before the door opened, he pushed through the crowd and ran back to the table. He retrieved the rare wing feather and said, "I managed to snatch it from my students, and it will help me in my future research." I'm not going to leave it to you, teacher. ”
"Fuck off, you."
"Roger, ordered to get out."
There was a burst of gags, and everyone's emotions calmed down a lot, and they were no longer so stiff. In fact, everyone has also made a decision in their hearts about whether to fight or not. After waiting for his students to leave the cabin, José Carlos changed his face and said to Gray Otto, "Sorry, my friend. I may not be able to help you this time. After all, this bet is too big for the Leon District Council. The Gaussberger is not my personal property. If so, what's the point of fighting with you? Helpless. ”
"It's really not negotiable?"
"We can get the benefits we want, don't we? Just for that breath to gamble, you can't make it. ”
"I see."
Gray Otto was the first to lead the people of the Cadiz congregation, followed by the people of Nonan. And the people in the Leon district who stayed behind did not let up their chats, but performed a huge water mirror technique, followed by Charles's calling technique. It is used to contact the decision-making members of the affiliated chambers of commerce of Leon District, which have already gathered under the notice.
Because the airship has been connected to the energy pool of the Great Sage's Tower, it dares to use this hugely expensive magic. It's also because what we're going to discuss next is so important that it's too slow to communicate with words alone. Running back to the headquarters, it's too slow to come back after the discussion. No one knows what kind of changes will occur after a long time.
The president of Xijia District, who was able to sit firmly on the throne of the president for such a long time, naturally had a certain amount of wisdom and skill. In the case of the other three districts, if you give the opponent too much time to react, it may lead to other unforeseen consequences. So it's better to discuss the advice provided by the tower owner.
Jose Carlos believes that the other two presidents should be doing the same thing. Anyway, with the Great Sage's Tower for energy, don't restrict others from using Charles's Call of Magic.
And in the gathering chamber of the Cadiz district. Gray Otto first asked his subordinates to set up the room and called out to the other members of the Chamber of Commerce. He entered the private cabin with a magician, closed the hatch and said, "Old Koos, you have seen the attitude of the other two guild presidents. It's not that I won't help you, it's that they don't want to do it. ”
"Can't you just figure it out? Just let my child die in vain. The old magician was furious, but he tried to keep his voice down, and roared hoarsely.
"In the first place, those two are not my subordinates, and I have no right to command them; This airship is not mine, and I cannot command it; And you, not my boss, are not qualified to tell me what to do. Today, I moved the other two presidents to pull out this airship, do you know how much I owe a favor. Just for the sake of your son, who is consumed by your interests. ”
"You!"
"Stand down. That's the end of it. ”
At the same time, the student who was guarding the door knocked lightly and said, "Teacher, everyone is already there." Just waiting for you to host. ”
"Old Koos, you heard me too, let's go out together."
Looking at the back of the angry departure, Gray Otto decided to ask his disciples to keep an eye on the old man who had lost his son.
Honestly, he didn't want to get involved in such a disgraceful thing, but where the favor was, it was his subordinates who died. Silence is definitely not a good attitude.
Regardless of the form and content, if both the Siga District and the tower owner agreed to give in, they should be able to convince the other decision-makers of the Chamber of Commerce to put an end to the incident. All that remains is to discuss the bottom line that can be conceded in, and whether there are any interests that you have neglected. As for the Koos family, their sacrifice will be remembered.
