While Curt was weighing the situation, batch after batch of mages visited Thorn Rose. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter) Most of them are strict in law, and their solemn expressions are enough to make people respectful. The mages dressed in various robes greeted each other with a gaze salute, and their silence was full of authority.
The maids of the Thorn Rose had never seen anything like this, but fortunately they knew how to improvise. Under the guidance of many bright-eyed and smiling maids, even several high-level mages couldn't help but show a hint of a smile. So the maids took full advantage of their female surnames and tried their best to entertain difficult guests. They can smell the strange atmosphere, but they don't have to worry about being affected.
More and more mages came to the Thorn Rose, which soon filled the hall. Only a few pale old mages entered the private room, occupying the spacious space to themselves. Some of the guards brought in by the High Mage were scattered around, armed with weapons. The maids finally became frightened, and they tried to contact Sabina, but failed. I don't know if there was a problem with the crystal ball used for communication, and no matter how much the maids tried, they couldn't get a response from Sabina.
During this time, Gordon came out for a walk, and he walked through the crowd with his wine glass. Several of the guards gave them fierce looks, but they were all ignored by Gordon. Through the open door, an old mage in a private room saw Gordon. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Gordon, whispering to a few middle-aged mages standing nearby. One of the mages nodded, but before he could do anything, Gordon slid back quickly.
"There's a mage assembly out there, master. If you go for it, you'll be in the spotlight. โ
Gordon, who returned to the private room, sighed and showed a cynical expression. He's the kind of person whose heart tightens. The more the surface appears to be the type of carelessness. Ke Te, who knew this, nodded. Calmly said:
"Who's coming? Just tell me you know. โ
"'Viper' Hodgson. Mallory the 'Decapitator', Clark 'Tyre'...... They were all once famous mercenaries and were eventually hired by the High Mage. I don't know any of the mages in the hall, but their line-up of guards is luxurious. โ
Gordon shook his head as he snapped his fingers to report the name. Curt was silent for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile:
"It's just to embarrass me, to make such an exaggerated lineup. It's good. Just solve the matter in one go. What kind of methods will they use to find faults? โ
"You're always confident. โ
Gordon couldn't laugh a little, but he still echoed Curt. No matter how bad the shape is, Gordon believes that Curt can break the game. It's just that there are too many mages coming this time, and Gordon is worried that the two apprentices will be implicated. The other party had dozens of people, and he was only an intermediate mage, and he could really be called a laborer. This shows the importance they attach to Curt and their determination to achieve it.
I'm afraid that in the entire history of Thousand Law City, there has never been anything like this. It sounds like a joke that so many high-level mages have teamed up to embarrass an intermediate mage, even if they succeed. I'm afraid I will only be ridiculed.
But in order to suppress Curt's prestige, the main messenger behind the scenes can't care about so much. Even if you kill a chicken with a knife. He had to make sure of one thing - to make Curt make a public scandal, preferably in disgrace.
But Curt had no intention of cooperating with the other party's scheme, and he stayed in the private room with peace of mind. Now Curt has the initiative, as long as he doesn't run out, the other party won't break in. Curt was even thinking about whether to simply use teleportation to leave. As long as he disappears without a trace, all the other party's attempts will naturally fail.
What made Curt finally decide to stay was that he was prepared with the means to deal with it. These words Ricott did not stop at this, and he was confident that he could control the situation. If Curt succeeds, his reputation will be well deserved. In the past, Curt had done too much to put on the table, and now in order to overcome public opinion, he stepped into the center of power and approached Eoham, and he needed to show his hands.
Just as Curt was trying to figure out how agitated the mages outside must be, Jemmy ran in. She lost her usual grace, and her face was full of panic. After seeing Curt, Jie Mi hurriedly swept the scatter off the back of her head. Then she clasped her hands in front of her and said:
"Mr. Curt, Master Lankate is here. โ
"Oh. โ
Curt nodded calmly, he knew about it.
"That...... Lady Catherine also came. โ
"Huh?"
In the tone, Curt used a second tone. He pursed his lips, finally starting to feel that things were a little tricky. As the high-level of the Thorn Rose, Randall's intention is self-evident. He ordered the two apprentices to stay in the private room, and then walked out with Adios and Gordon.
When Curt arrived in the hall, Randall was literally watched. The mages focused their cold eyes on Randall without the slightest hint of kindness. A middle-aged mage who appears to be eloquent and smiling contends with Randall. He raised an index finger and shook it, and Sri said slowly:
"We are guests, Miss Catherine. Even if ten people shared a pot of tea, we didn't violate the rules of Thorn Rose. Personally, I have a lot of respect for Master Sabina. So we're here to cheer her on, and that's understandable. โ
"Please bring a pot of the best tea, and fruit, thank you. โ
Lan Kate, who was sitting alone at a table, spoke leisurely, in exchange for the grateful glances of several maids. The middle-aged mage glanced back at Lan Kate, but didn't say anything. In the Thousand Laws City, there are few people who dare to face Lan Kate disrespectfully. The middle-aged mage worked hard to reorganize his feelings, and continued to say:
"From your point of view, we owe a debt of gratitude, Miss Catherine. I know Thorn Rose has your share in that, and you don't want to drive away guests? Of course, you have the right to do that. But well...... Tomorrow the whole city will know that the Thorn Rose does not welcome the mage. โ
"Give every table a pot of top-notch flower tea, count me in. โ
Curt spoke calmly, exchanging glances with Kate Lan. He saw the anger hidden in Lankate's eyes, but ignored it. Randall hadn't spoken since Curt came out. She blushed, already angry. The title of Lord of the Rainbow Mage Tower is certainly not to be taken lightly, but the mages present here are not afraid. They have no fear and share the pressure with the strength of the group.
So Curt decided to stand up, knowing that Blue Kate was going to take the opportunity to sell it well and make Randall owe a big favor. But tonight's protagonist isn't Kate Lan, and Curt has something else in mind. He heroically took out a general bill of exchange and handed it to Jiemi. Then Curt calmly looked around, turned back to the stunned Jemmy and said:
"Please move quickly, ma'am. You know, the time of the mages is precious, and there is no time to waste meaninglessly. โ
Dozens of gloomy gazes converged on Curt's body, and the middle-aged mage who had embarrassed Randall before also walked over. He stood still not far from Curt, and said with an exaggerated expression:
"Ahh
"Who are you?"
Curt asked calmly, not being provoked by the other party. The middle-aged mage pretended to bow and said with a hippie smile:
"I'm Fuller, the Senior Mage of the Administration Department. It's only natural that you don't know me, little Curt, after all, I'm not good at grandstanding and deceiving the world. โ
"Well, I really don't remember the name of the waste. โ
Ke Ting nodded and pushed back directly. Fuller's words are already tantamount to poking Curt's nose and scolding, and Curt will naturally not be polite. As Fuller raised an eyebrow, Curt turned his head away. He clapped his hands vigorously and said loudly:
"Everyone, please leave after your tea. That's the end of the business of Thorn Rose today, and I wish you all a good night. โ
It was a veritable eviction order, prompting a buzzing whisper. Several mages were furious and tried to stand up, but were stopped by others. Curt ignored Randall and Jemmie, whose eyes widened, and continued to say with a sense of neutrality:
"As a trial mage, I ask you to obey the laws of the Thousand Laws City. Again, that's the end of today's business for Thorn Rose, please enjoy a delicious cup of tea, and then leave in an orderly manner!"
Since Sabina doesn't show her face, Curt has no interest in doing her best for the benefit of Thorn Rose. He simply destroyed the situation completely, making the various words prepared by the other party useless. Fuller retreated a little wolf-bรจi, cursing 'damn imps'. Curt looked at him with disdain, and a soft 'snap' came from the side.
It was a mercenary who slammed his scabbard into Gordon's scabbard as he passed by him. The mercenary immediately stood still and glared at Gordon. Gordon shrugged indifferently, and the mercenary drew his sword with lightning motion and swung it at Gordon.
If Gordon hadn't reacted, the sword would have stopped next to his neck. But Gordon's movements were just as swift, and he immediately took a half-step back, and with half of his blade drawn, he blocked the slashing blade. The mercenary who missed the blow leaped backwards, and he roared and shouted:
"Are you trying to insult my sword, Snow Ape Slayer Gordon, and kneel down and apologize, or I'll wash away the shame with your blood!"
Between warriors, it is a challenge to bump the scabbard against the opponent's scabbard. Gordon reluctantly pulled the entire sword out of its sheath, and said in a low voice:
"Viper Hodgson, if you think I'm still the same person I was, you're very wrong. โใ )
