Chapter 995: Kaos, Lost Contact
Severton, Old Town, in an unnamed tavern near the Morrion Tower.
In the glow of the fireplace, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind a thin wooden pillar in the tavern, but the visitor did not hide the slightest meaning.
Almost at the same time as the figure appeared, a voice full of discontent came out: "Randall, do you really want to indulge Kaos?" β
"Of course not, but being angry like you is not the solution to the problem, we still have to sit down and talk!" A cold, emotionless voice rang out from the fireplace.
At the same time, another kind voice also issued an invitation, "Don't be angry! Let's have a drink first! You can talk about it slowly! β
"Talk? What to talk to him about! β
Badigar walked out from behind the beams, came to the edge of the fireplace, sat down on the low cork chair, grabbed the wooden wine glass on the table, and poured it with a clatter, and then said:
"Don't forget, Kaos is dead, at least in the eyes of the vast majority, he's been dead for a long time, and now he wants to show up again, do you know how much trouble it will cause us!"
"He said that he was willing to appear in a completely new identity, so wouldn't it be fine? Besides, why should we worry too much about the Gillestall Tower's own business! β
It was Harris, the Grand Arcanist of Fenwick Tower, who spoke out, and although he felt that something was wrong with the matter, it was difficult for him to raise any objections.
It was fine that Harris didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, he provoked Badigar again, and he stood up from the cork chair with a brush, walked up to Harris, and asked:
"What are you talking about? What does it mean to appear in a new identity? Is he blind when we are all blind? When are the elves out there blind? β
Harris said that he could not see or hear anything, ignoring Badigal's angry eyes and just playing with the wine glass in his hand.
Seeing this, Badigar became even more angry, but before he could make any outrageous moves, he was separated by Horn, who persuaded while handing Badigar wine:
"What personality does Harris have that you don't know? He is the boneless grass on the top of Patricia, where the wind blows, he pours it in whichever way, ignore him, let's drink! β
Horn's words made the anger in Badigal's heart subside a little, but the thought that Horn was on his side at the critical moment made his sensitive heart feel awkward again.
didn't pick up the wine handed over by Horn, just snorted coldly, returned to his previous seat, poured himself a glass, and then didn't drink it, just let it go, and fell silent.
Ahem β
As the convener of the crowd, Randall had no choice but to speak in this situation, only to see him cough lightly, let everyone pay a little attention, and then in his usual calm and almost indifferent voice, he said:
"It's true that the Gilles Tower is a private matter at the moment, but our Seven Towers also have a tradition of supporting each other, and it is impossible to let the Gilles Tower continue to be chaotic, which is not only the loss of the Seven Towers, but also the loss of Nessreel."
After saying that, he paused, observing the reaction of everyone, especially Badigal, and seeing that he was still silent, Randall continued:
"None of us expected that Her Royal Highness would be the result of her ascension, and although she did succeed, she also lost contact with us in fact.
"And the successor she had set before, in the case of Master Byron's disappearance, it is difficult for her to become an existence alongside us in a short period of time.
"It is reasonable for Kaos to restrict us from taking charge of the Gillestall Towers on the grounds of internal affairs, and to ask for a return to the helm of the Gillestall Towers."
After saying that, Randall paused again, but this time Badigar did not continue to be silent, but let out a long sigh and said:
"I can still remember when Her Royal Highness asked us to take care of Scum, and I remember that you all agreed!
"Furthermore, if Kaos returns to the control of the Gilles Tower, he will surely erase the influence of the princess as much as possible, which may not be in the interests of the Seven Towers, nor may it be in the interests of Nessreel."
"No, I think the opposite!"
It was Hadleine of the Jannick Tower, and since Badigar was willing to sit down and talk, he spoke his mindβ
"We all know that Kaos 'died' in the turmoil of the theft of the Color-resistant Scroll, and with him, there are other masters of the Seven Towers, real or fake, who have died, partly because the people need an explanation, and partly because they want to paralyze the elves.
But now nearly a hundred years have passed, and Nessera has become stronger, but the conservative atmosphere has also risen, and the return of Kaos can not only bring the pioneering and enterprising spirit of the ancestors, and the atmosphere of win-win cooperation, but also an invisible deterrent to the elves.
"Badigarh, how do you know that Kaos didn't come forward because of Master Byron's disappearance, otherwise, he hasn't shown up once in decades, is he just waiting for today?
"In addition, don't forget that when Kaos 'died' in a hurry, although there was a designated successor, it was Master Byron who took over temporarily, so that the Gilles Tower passed through the most difficult period before it was handed over to De Munster, and then De Munster chose His Royal Highness Thea, in addition to tradition, it may not be without the meaning of repayment.
"Now, Kaos has come forward, how do you know it's not paving the way for Scum? Badigarh, I ask you, if you were to teach Scum personally, how long would it be before he could become a being alongside us? β
Hadlaine's words hit Badigar in his heart, especially the last sentence, Badigar didn't have enough confidence to teach a Grand Arcanist.
Of course, even if he could, he couldn't make a move, the interests of the Seven Towers were indeed closely related, but they were not close enough to allow him to interfere with a series of rulers.
Now his last stubbornness is only the heir that Scum has personally appointed for the previous ruler, Princess Thea, and aside from that, there is really little he can interfere with.
And that's where he shines the most.
It took a long time for Badigar to hold back a sentence, "This is all what Kaos told you?" β
"Nope!"
Hadlane shook his head, "But what can we do but believe this?" Push Scum to take over? This is not a good thing for him, or for the Seven Towers! β
"You-"
Buddy Garton was speechless, but still stuck to his opinion:
"I still don't agree, the reappearance of a great arcanist who has clearly died has too much impact, and now that Her Royal Highness the princess has successfully ascended to the gods, she is spending a low-key time, and it is really not appropriate to stimulate the elves anymore."
