Chapter 260: Sincerity
Fen freed everyone she had caught these days. No one stayed, no one shouted, and everyone fled in the first place.
The men weakly supported each other and left the courtyard. At the same time, someone asked Abel what had happened these days, and also told about his own experience. Only then did the young steward of the Chamber of Commerce know that they were set in the small courtyard, which was a kind of magic that no one knew.
The scary thing is that all the senses react. They can think, they can hear other people's discussions, they can see the scene in front of them, they can smell the elegant fragrance of flowers, and even when others touch them, they understand it very well. But I can't act, even if my eyes are a little off, I can't do it.
The soul is imprisoned in a cage called a shell, which is what a magician states about his feelings. Another well-informed magician remembered that a long time ago, when the gods fell, the kings of King's Landing were not good at a magic called 'eternal imprisonment', imprisoning many powerful people who offended them, including gods, in their own bodies.
As for whether that one was the 'Demon King' who had died at the hands of the brave thousands of years ago, the people present who had suffered were no longer willing to discuss it. Whether it is the same or not, their common understanding is that the one cannot be provoked by themselves.
The president of the Basque Chapter, the archmage Evers, was listening to the report of the chamber of commerce's steward, Abel, and confirmed that a considerable number of people had been released by him, including two teams of Ombudsmans.
To his displeasure, he didn't send the two teams of ombudsmen; It's the private actions of other magicians who are bent on fighting for power. It is no wonder that the radicals are as tame as rabbits in their discussions these days. It's not like the past at all, this group of guys who are disobedient everywhere have long been turned upside down.
Generally speaking, two squads are more than enough to deal with a great mage who is not protected by a magic tower. But they were unscathed, which does not show the disparity in strength.
Now ask them again if they still want to encircle and suppress His Majesty the 'Demon King'. Everyone responded with a humble heart, and none of them were implemented, even if they organized a siege by the alliance of magicians.
Because they were all imprisoned without knowing what was going on. If you know the other party's means, you will naturally have a way to find a way to solve it. But if you can't even read it, how can you crack it.
Will there be an advantage in terms of numbers? If you let that person be too busy and take care of one or the other. But another question arises, who is going to be a victim and then make someone else?
Magicians are calculating people, and it is easy to get a good name and profit, of course. If you don't necessarily get fame and profit, and you still have to worry about your life, if you don't get to a dead end, you definitely won't do it. The opening of the gate of the abyss belongs to the kind that drives people to a dead end. So even if death is possible, there are still many magicians who stand up and resist.
However, when you can gain a good reputation and benefits, but you have to pay the price, the mages will consider it. Obviously, in the modern crusade against the Demon King, it should belong to the kind where the pay and the benefit cannot be balanced. Especially before the one who has driven everyone to a dead end, there is room for operation if there is room for it.
This was Evers' judgment after listening to Abel's return. And how could he, who is old and refined, not know what the sincerity of the other party is asking for.
Not to mention sincerity, if you want to deal with a great magician who once had the name of 'Demon King', it shouldn't be an ordinary person with the status of a chamber of commerce manager. This is insulting the other party and making trouble for yourself in disguise. So Evers knew very well that Abel was just a microphone, a detector to test the attitude of that one. And the response can be said to be the best result.
Suppression only exists in the situation that the other party can be suppressed. It is impossible for a rabbit to suppress a dragon, and the possibility of being slapped into a rabbit cake with a backhand is relatively high. The rabbit said that he wanted to suppress the dragon, and it was just a joke.
So Evers took the lead, and with a fairly high standard and the members of the group, he planned to go and greet His Majesty the Demon King. Of course, there are people who oppose this and are dissatisfied. The president's solution is also very simple, which is to bring this group of people with them.
"If you are afraid that I will betray the interests of all, then come with you. Everything needs to be agreed upon. But it is impossible to say without talking about it. Unless you can solve that thing on the xx level, then it's up to those who can do it. I absolutely support. ”
The urgency of reality, all those who do not want this meeting, and cannot find a reason to stop it, does not mean that they cannot sabotage the talks. In fact, there are many people who are already secretly in cahoots, intent on sabotaging and stopping any possible agreement. The most active person among them is the manager of the Chamber of Commerce, Babich.
Under the reminder of a friend, if this meeting is successful, it will not be even more obvious that he has messed things up. What he should do now is to show the evil of the Demon King and the incompetence of those in power. Only in this way can his importance be emphasized, and then more support, that is, greater power.
Undercurrents are surging, and all kinds of opinions and letters are passed under the table. But the main parties didn't react as if they didn't see it. This is quite bizarre in the eyes of other neutral factions.
As the president of the Basque branch of the Wizards' Association, Evers is definitely not a puppet and manipulated character, although he is not a strong president. As a leader, it is a basic condition to have clear ears and eyes; But the president's current performance is not a passing grade.
In their respective minds, the time to meet came. President Evers was accompanied by his most trusted student, holding a long box in his hand, which was said to be the "sincerity" of the trip. What's inside, everyone is guessing. However, such gifts were prepared by the president privately, and did not pass through the hands of anyone in the association. So what the content is, everyone doesn't know.
At the call of the chamber of commerce steward Abel, the two girls opened the door of the small courtyard. It's just that they were also surprised by the number of people who came. There are just too many people. Still, as they had been told, they invited everyone in and brought them to the room with the large long table.
The Lich and the Tripwood Wizard who are the masters are not waiting. This will allow those who oppose the talks to seize the opportunity to make all sorts of rude and ill-intentioned criticisms to be voiced with impunity.
In fact, it is also common for people with high status to make people with low status wait. But there are people who don't want to recognize Fen's status as a great magician, and they don't want to admit that her strength is above themselves. This continued until this meeting, and everyone was still arguing about the name of the One.
In the end, Evers was still not allowed to add the word 'big' to Fin's name. Because what the president said was, to a certain extent, representative of the attitude of the Basque Chapter. If he said inappropriate things without authorization, then those opponents who did not deal with him were not happy to criticize him, and at the same time, they raised their glasses in private to celebrate, and even plotted to oust themselves from the stage.
I took a deep breath, and after discussing with the students and staff last night, I had already memorized the various countermeasures. But when it comes to facing this legendary figure, there are inevitably some apprehensions.
In the midst of the noise of a group of people, the silence of a group of people, the lich appeared. Her beauty, no matter how much she listens to others, is not as good as seeing it with her own eyes. And that fancy dress, which is different from the traditional fancy dress of the world, is actually a set of women's suits. The delicate figure makes the fitting tailor add a bit of coquettishness to the temperament.
It can be said that as soon as Fen entered the door, he became the focus of everyone's attention. Not only because she is one of the parties, but also because of the seductive curves, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.
Sitting on the other side of the long table, Fen slowly and methodically took out the golden dry tobacco pipe and smoked another pipe for himself.
For Lin, who was sitting still behind him, this meaning was obvious enough. It is to ask him not to meddle in his affairs; Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. Of course, someone is as good as a stream, after all, he can't do it. So he simply secretly opened the field of vision of his glasses, opened the window, and continued to worry about the problems he had imagined for days.
Negotiation, in fact, is who has more bargaining chips and who is more calm. And the advantages in all aspects are on the Lich's side.
For the magicians of the Basque Country, their territory is being eroded by unidentified objects, and the situation is getting worse with time. To put it simply, there is no cost to consume.
In terms of patience, there are too many magicians from the Basque Country, but not all of them have the skills of the older generation, and can pretend that they don't care about everything. And there are people under his hands who are ready to move, and the great magician of Evers doesn't want to be restrained by these juniors, so he simply doesn't hold his breath with others. Have your student present the long box and say:
"Your Excellency, this is ......"
"Wait a minute!" Babich crossed the crowd and slapped the table first, saying, "Evil man, Demon King Tikal, do you know how many lives have been devoured by the monster you have created. And how the dead turned into monsters, further amplifying the catastrophe. You have to take responsibility for all this disaster, but you have come to your senses. Don't think we're going to let you go easily, the only place you'll go is to be burned at the stake. ”
What Babich does best is build momentum. Stand on the upper hand of the law and lead the crowd to do what he wants, or force the majority to do what he wants. As long as you have the power, the world can control it, and the feeling is very intoxicating. The situation in front of him, as long as he preemptively opened his mouth to set the tone, and then stimulated the person opposite to resist, then everything that happened after that would be logical.
However, his status is not high now, and as an ordinary person with no magical talent, if he wants to guide the actions of magicians, he must personally stand on the front line, and not just hide behind the scenes, directing the people under him to do things.
But what he never seriously thought about was that this was a world of individual greatness; And what he is trying to control is a group of magicians whose strength is far beyond that of mortals. Babichi's smug smile became eternal in this moment.
In full view of everyone, the president of the Basque Chapter, the Grand Mage of Evers, quickly took out a shining sword from the open box. Before everyone could react, several magic flashes flashed in the sword-wielding arm, and a sword slashed through the neck of the chamber of commerce steward standing beside him.
The sword was sharp, and there was only a blood mark on the incision, slowly oozing blood beads. The next moment, a large amount of blood poured out from the broken neck, and even the head could not be placed securely on the neck. Evers, however, threw away his sword, took Babich's hair, lifted his head, laid it on the table, and said:
"Your Excellency Grand Magician Tikal, this is my sincerity." Want to talk about "Starry Sky of the Magic Tower" with more like-minded people,
