"What did you say?!"

Caroline reacted the most violently. She first glared at Winter, who said it calmly, and then pressed her eyebrows deeply and spoke with a calm face.

"You should know - we don't care about Crowley's messy ailments because you can control the field. What does that mean? Think Victoria, the old guy, can replace you? ”

Winter didn't talk about this, and the two-way eye contact that no longer covered up the facts exposed the long-hidden relationship facts.

Caroline also pointed out directly.

- According to the description, after Julia Winter leaves office, Quint Victoria will succeed her as the Grand Magician of the Kingdom of Crowley.

Although there were two Victorias on the field, everyone present knew who Caroline was referring to by "old guy".

And the other relatively young Victoria, Della Victoria, turned her head to look at Quint, her eyes blazing with no room for it.

Everyone needs an explanation, especially Dela. This was no ordinary problem for her, as she was supposed to be neutral from the start of the Magister gathering.

It's common sense.

The Magisters of the Four Kingdoms are gathered here, and it is impossible to blindly trust candidates with different positions, so they can only find suitable intermediaries.

This is also the reason why Dela, who focuses on the high seas and dreams, will also provide the location and become the basic organizer.

The same was true of the previous Quint.

Although he was born in the kingdom of Crowley, he has always held the basic identity of the Liberty Magister.

And now, as a relative who consults with Dela, Quint conceals his tendentious stance towards the Kingdom of Crowley, which makes it very difficult for Della.

In the previous conversation between the four of them, Caroline and Sonny, the wizards of the Kingdom of Cole, who had created various conflicts, said a word to me, in addition to setting other clues, the hints between the words were just to test and make Della realize this at the same time.

Exposing his knowledge of the fact that the alien archmage of the Danton Kingdom took office, and mentioning the arrival of the archmage of the Crowley Kingdom, these are all Quint's mistakes, and they are also the result of deliberate inducement.

- As a free magister, it is difficult for him to have such a detailed source, and if it was just folk gossip, Quint's caution would not be used on such an occasion.

After the initial shock, Della quickly adjusted her mentality. After all, she is no longer a little girl who is caught off guard by all kinds of variables.

And now, it was the turn of the people to whom the Kingdom of Crowley belonged to explain the details, including the newly uncovered future Grand Mage.

Quint smiled bitterly, still not leaving the seat next to Della, but spoke directly.

"Grand Wizard Winter is right, I did discuss this with her the other day. As for whether or not he can live up to the trust and take on the heavy responsibility in the end, it has little to do with the Shandra Magister. ”

Caroline turned her head and snorted, noncommittal to this subtle and unobtrusive rebuttal.

Sonny propped up half of his face on his elbows, leaning his back against the white pillars of the central pavilion, his eyes lazily looking over.

“…… After all, it's not that we don't believe you, we just don't believe in the pedantic aristocrats, and the guys who hide behind their backs and escort them, and are eager to release cold arrows to everyone. ”

At this, Sonny snorted to himself, as if he was quite disgusted by it.

"Great Wizard Winter...... You were born into an aristocratic family, and naturally you want to maintain false prosperity. But have you ever wondered why the people at the bottom insist on defending that kind of kingdom interest? ”

More annoying Sonny than the vague suspicion, it doesn't even have anything to do with Lucifer.

This is a contradiction that has been accumulating for a long time.

Dozens or even hundreds of years ago, Sonny had heard a few old rumors about the Crowley Kingdom across the strait, and although he was confused, he would not take the initiative to interfere in this matter.

Five years ago, Sonny heard about an incident in the Kingdom of Crowley, and suddenly connected with the rumors he had heard before.

All the details are aligned with the past that I don't know if it's true or not, and everything suddenly becomes clear.

The events of five years ago were related to pirates, and others regarded them as a traitorous and disobedient national affair, but Sonny, who was in contact with the past, was not, and this incident succeeded in getting his attention.

These are inconvenient to say, but they are enough to make Sonny feel a strange sense of disobedience.

Winter used his popularity to put Croley's long-standing problems aside, and now he is desperate to hold on to an obvious external signal from the mastermind himself.

What does that mean?

If it's really a problem that she can't solve with her magical power alone, she can ask for help.

It's a downright weird thing, and it's why Sonny insists on going against Winter.

Thinking about it, such a marginal figure as him can only be inferred from the appearance - it is probably that Winter, who is known to be from an aristocratic background, remembers the old love and always has expectations for the current Crowley nobles.

And the "guy who released the cold arrow" that Sonny mentioned later, although he was not actually named, it can be regarded as a trace, and it is a tacit hidden danger among the Magister.

The Magister Gathering is an event that brings together all mages of the same level, but not everyone will participate fully every time.

Some are outside the world and do not feel the need to participate in the twelve-year meeting; Others were too busy with business to show up.

In addition to this, there are also people who have bad intentions and try their best to hide their existence.

These people often have other agendas.

"You may not believe my judgment, but I will tell you, Magister Rodriguez, I probably know more about civilians than you do."

Winter took it in stride and picked up.

"It's my request to keep this a secret. If Quint rejects Magister Victoria's offer, it will only create more suspicion. If I had to count it, it should be my responsibility. ”

Della remained silent, but her expression relaxed a little, and her gaze turned to Winter.

"Finding out who is hiding the truth is not the point. It's just empty words, it's better to make it clear first - since it's not for the profit of the Crowley Kingdom, what are you here for? ”

She was also from the Kingdom of Crowley, and there was no doubt about her respect for Winter, but she would not abandon her condemnation because of this.

Meanwhile, in order to show her neutrality as an organizer and give the others something effective, Della stood up, left Quint and found a vacant spot to sit down.

At this moment, Westward looked left and right, and found that he had been excluded from the center of the topic after initiating the argument, and he couldn't help but sigh melancholy.

Then he got up without any scruples and sat directly next to Quint, making the gentleman in a dress who was taking the initiative to distance himself from his own daughter was stunned.

In the dark world without daylight for the time being, the vampire archmage seemed to have no scruples, just like he was born with the ability to be vigorous and confident that he didn't care about the eyes of others.

To put it bluntly, it's the type that was born to stand in the center of the stage and never want to come down.

"Visward, do you know how to read air?" Caroline couldn't help but speak, "People are negotiating, is it time for you to find a venue?" ”

Visward was a little innocent, but he couldn't be straightforward, "But I love it." ”

What's wrong with a noble and powerful vampire archmage who only wants to occupy the best vantage point and is not satisfied with being completely ignored?

On the other side of Westward's original seat, there was an old man with a thick and full white beard on the top of his head without any hair.

He spoke softly.

"Your Excellency, I hope you will maintain a professional and rigorous attitude. Winter is a Crowley, but he always knows what is important, so let's hear her first. ”

Erling Hughes.

This is the free magister of the Danton Kingdom, and he is also the magister who is second only to Winter in age among several people, and has the highest qualifications and seniority.

Not to mention that the personnel are not uniform now, even if all the people who should be at the official gathering of the Magus come, they will not be able to find anyone with more seniority than them.

Up to one.

Visward smacked his lips when he heard this, and he valued the Magister's speech more seriously.

Because in addition, this Hughes Magister is also recognized as the richest Magister.

- for he is also a master of the highest order, a firesmith who forges and empowers all kinds of staffs and magical weapons.

The money of the high-ranking mage, the assets of the palace nobles, and the funds of the kingdom's military are the most famous sources of money on the mainland.

All the ingredients that make Hughes's weapons such as craftsmanship, magical ability, and deep knowledge of weapons sell so well that every time they come out is a rush to be rushed.

After all, even if you don't know what kind of mage he is, just by seeing that smooth and shiny bald head, you can feel the extraordinary professionalism.

In terms of the superficial relationship between age and appearance, he is the only one of all the Magi who is the most honest person on the outside, and this is not the case.

He is a dwarven who fluctuates in height over seventy inches - the reason why height is not a real number is because the scale of the transformation often changes depending on the magnitude of the corresponding magic used.

Hughes, who pays attention to the fineness of the craft, is relatively rough in this magic, mainly because the reason for his transformation is not the shape itself.

According to Hughes himself, the height of the Dwarves made him usually a head shorter than the average Terran, which was not conducive to his momentum when he negotiated prices with buyers as an ordinary fire craftsman in his youth, and the price would be quite large.

So he chose to keep himself tall for a long time, even taller than the average person, so that his alien status would not hinder earning money.

This habit continues to this day—even if no one dares to blindly lower the dwarven craftsman's work, the dead face asks for a handmade weapon.

Hughes cleaned up his country's mischievous magicians and set his eyes on Winter.

"Julia, the same as before: I trust you not to do anything harmful to everyone for the good of the country, but you also have to give me an account."

"Thank you," Winter bowed slightly, expressing his gratitude to his old friend, "if you were to ask me the root cause of the peestering of Lestus...... Most of you should know the most empathetic answer. ”
