Chapter 219: Threat

The selection method for the president of the Wizards Association is generally recommended by the people, and the criteria are the strongest one. However, the detailed rules will still vary depending on the district.

Of course, the so-called strongest person is not to put up a ring, and let the masters play a victory or defeat in front of everyone like a monkey show. Rather, it is based on past reputation and achievements. In other words, most of the time, the strength of the candidates for the presidency is evaluated by the middle of the best.

With the death of the previous president, the selection of the next president became the first priority of the Sika branch. Generally speaking, a strong candidate to succeed the president will choose one person from among the four tower masters. However, the president of Siga is determined by universal suffrage among the magicians who have registered in the chapter. Therefore, in history, the young and strong faction has been elected to take over as the president, and not all of them are succeeded by those who are highly respected and powerful.

The current situation in Sijia District is that the age of the Lord of the Four Pagodas is almost the same as that of the deceased president, and they are all over 80 years old. For humans who are obsessed with the ground, it is not surprising that they kick their legs at any time. Unless you cross the boundary of life and become a transcendent being, there are very few such characters among the Dharma Masters. And such a figure will not be satisfied with the position of president of a district.

Therefore, the day after the death of the president, the four tower masters publicly declared their intention to take over the chairmanship. Therefore, the candidate for the president is elected by the second echelon, that is, in the fourteen-person meeting at the highest level in Xijia District, after deducting the president and the four tower masters, there are nine left.

In terms of strength, Grand Wizard Greenwin, who is currently the Ombudsman, is the most powerful candidate. Unfortunately, he was not keen on building up his own power, and in the past he was attached to the wings of Orange Eaton, and loyally became a sharp knife in the Ward. In this way, if he can successfully take over the power left by the former president, I am afraid that it will be a sure thing to take over as president. But that's not the case.

In the last period of the former president's reign, the person who took charge of the entire power on his behalf was his noble disciple Shulion.

He was born in the aristocracy and has a skill that is different from ordinary people. During the period when he took over, he really won over a few leaders in the former president's forces, or he thought he had won over these people. In fact, many people have made contact with other forces and even handed over their oaths of allegiance, but they have not made them public.

It was this delusion, and the fact that some careerists as young as Shurion thought that as long as they firmly controlled the power left by the former president, they could take over the supreme throne of the Siga district. As everyone knows, many people are just watching the play coldly in secret, watching an aristocratic young man think that using the rules of the game of secular aristocrats can also work in the magician community.

However, those who have been suppressed by the former president for a long time are all cunning and patient. At this time, they choose to watch from the sidelines, not jumping up and down the table, but contacting and wooing all those who can be won over under the table.

But this kind of action can be bitter for those who are targeted by that grudge-holding young man, and the first person in the list is Gaibrash Tripwood, the director of Orange Fruit Eton Academy.

After the death of the president, all kinds of bad things kept coming. Najib, the manager of the Chamber of Commerce who has been dealing with him for a long time, didn't know which corner he was transferred to, so he contacted Lin with someone he didn't know, and the other party ignored him.

What is the face of being rich and unwilling to make money, Lin can take a closer look this time. If the tone is focused and there are hints in the words, the other party also simply says that it is okay to buy it, and the price will be doubled or tripled.

Using a private email address, I learned that the hapless Najib had been sent to other places, wandering around the various magic towers and the territory of the minor nobles, in the name of developing new customers, in fact, it was more like being rectified.

If it weren't for Najib's previous performance in the Chamber of Commerce, he would be considered a celebrity. Just such a customer's commission as Lin made the other stewards envious, jealous and hateful. Basically, as long as you hold this golden thigh, you don't have to worry about food and clothing in this life. How do you know that things change and the stars change, and when the old president falls, the whole environment is different.

He couldn't help but obey the instructions from above. Otherwise, it would not be a matter of waving their hands to death for those high-ranking masters. So I can only obediently hand over the original business, like a newcomer, and visit new customers again.

The last email to end the conversation was a warning from Najib: Be careful, Your Excellency, they have more to do.

Looking at the content of the email, Lin sighed. He didn't know that this could not be the end, but the situation was stronger than people, and he could only hope that there would be a candidate to compete with him in the next president competition. If you can't say it, you will take refuge in the past.

Sitting in a cart pulled by a mule, Lin was thinking about the recent events. The two girls sat in the driver's seat, beating the mule with one whip and one whip and the other whipping, and moved forward slowly.

This car was not a horse-drawn model for the aristocracy, just an ordinary wagon. It was Lin who bought the car to pull goods before, in order to pull materials from his home in the community to the café in the college, but there were more opportunities to use it for transportation. Letting the two apprentices drive, Lin just had extra time to think.

It's just that it's gradually approaching the home of the community, and looking at a red glow in the sky, it's quite peculiar. The two unconcerned girls exclaimed, "Wow, that's beautiful." Teacher, look over there. ”

Lin looked up, and the bewitching different color seemed to have seen it. And it looks like it's not going to be good. He jumped out of the car, gave himself a light body technique, and said to the two apprentices, "Just drive the car, I'll go over and have a look first." ”

Without waiting for the two girls to respond, Lin jumped into the night. The closer I got to the red glow, the more I felt that it was firelight, and there was a faint noise of people in the distance.

Lin also realized at this time, where did the bad feeling in his heart come from. The direction of the fire is not the home of his own community.

When I ran to the place where the fire started, I saw that it was the place where I lived. However, the great fortune of the misfortune was that it was not the mansion where the residence was burned, but the independent warehouse in the courtyard.

A group of people watching the excitement, standing outside the fence, pointing and squeaking. There is no complete public fire protection system in Wulian City, but this is a city where magicians gather, and it is very common for an explosion to occur in a magic experiment every once in a while.

This can usually be solved by the master himself with a water collection technique. So in Wulian City, it is very common to watch other people's homes catch fire. As long as the fire doesn't burn to its own place, no one will come forward to help.

It is not to say that there is no custom of mutual help and love among neighbors. If the fire was caused by a magical experiment, he would be the one who knew best how to deal with the fire unless the caster died inside.

Or maybe a fire is just a trivial matter, but the place where the fire broke out has a secret that no one else wants to know. Rushing in and claiming to help fight the fire is the same as taking advantage of the fire to rob.

The peculiarity of Wulian City made this fire wait for the owner of the house. Seeing such a situation, Lin was not nervous. There is a distance between the warehouse and the main house, and it is difficult to extend the burn. He thought more about the cause of the fire. And the two dogs who were supposed to be in the courtyard, where did they go?

It is somewhat unrealistic to expect two brutes to put out fires. But when something like this happens, you shouldn't run away from the dog.

Before coming to the warehouse, Lin kept thinking, in addition to green coffee beans, are there other valuable things stored in it? And what can cause burning? Was it caused by two dogs playing with fire? They are not fire-type monsters, and they don't have the talent to set fire.

But...... I'm afraid that the two girls will do something to these two dogs, just like they have given them magic tattoos like leveling the ground. This is a criminal record, and there are two or three more magic tattoos on the bodies of gray hooves and white noses.

Before arriving at the warehouse, Lin prepared a ring of apprentice-level magic, water harvesting. But before the gathered water element could condense the real-world entity, Lin interrupted his spell casting, and looked coldly at the two giant figures lying in the flames of the warehouse......

These two beasts are dead in their sleep? Or is it really dead......

Watch as the flames burn the wooden building and its contents to a creep. The smell of meat came, but it didn't arouse someone's appetite, but made a heart sink continuously.

Accidentally?

No! It is already clear that this was done deliberately.

Warn? Or is it for your own stock of green coffee beans? The huge interest in coffee has made the inventory owned by Lin more than once, and people have come to the door to buy it. It's just that I never agreed, even if it was just a part of it to others.

"Ahh How can they be in it, and they must be rescued quickly. ”

Driving a mule cart, I finally returned to my home in the community. The warehouse fire also left the two girls dumbfounded. After they parked their cars and came to their teachers, they kept looking around. As soon as they saw the two dogs lying in the fire, they wanted to rush inside.

Fortunately, Lin's hands were fast, and he grabbed the two girls, so that they didn't add any auxiliary magic, and rushed into the fire.

Kaya was quiet, and had not behaved in any unusual way since she was caught. But judging from her twitching shoulders, her emotions are not as flat as they seem.

Halumi struggled desperately, and tried to rush into the fire and drag the two dogs out. It's just that this made Lin hoop her hand and tighten it tighter. In the end, he directly pulled back and hugged the two girls into his arms. He said, "I can't save it anymore, so give up." It's better to just let this fire burn more thoroughly. ”

Harumi's feet were weak, and if he hadn't been supported by his own teacher, he would have fallen to the ground. She cried out loud in grief, while Kaya buried her face in Lin's clothes and sobbed quietly.

"Teacher, the Greyhoofs are gone." The blonde girl cried.

Lin didn't know how to comfort the girls. Speaking of the experience of the death of their own small animals, this is the first time they have experienced it. So Lin Ye could only pat the two girls and try to comfort them.
