Chapter 221: Potential Crisis

As Ciara uttered these heart-wrenching words, the rhythm on the field was completely disrupted.

Under her constant evidence and offensive, Donald could only wipe his sweat vigorously.

He didn't expect that the Northerners, who had always been honest and dutiful, would be so aggressive......

And how did their brains seem to suddenly open up?

Fortunately, Professor Collins secretly took sides, and fended off the offensive for him with a few seemingly neutral but actually biased issues, and Donald had a chance to breathe.

Renee, the daughter of the Three Kings, remained silent, staring at Ciara with interest in her shining eyes.

She really didn't need to speak.

While Eternal Dawn is an ally, Shiara is telling the truth.

When it comes to curing wither, Eternal Dawn is really useless.

Otherwise, the Mercury Forest would be called this?

And others may not know what happened in the Whispering Forest, such as why Silverwing hid that guy named Elimont in the crypt......

But she knew.

Donald didn't tell the whole truth, he secretly colluded with the guy named Elimont and used the Whispering Crypt, which was what happened.

Moreover, the elves are not yet so lowly as to jump out at such junctures to pay homage to the people of gold.

"Bell"

Professor Collins struck the small bell that was erected at his hand.

This conversation concludes.

The result is "no result".

Eternal Dawn naturally won't admit it, but they are too busy to confess to attack each other.

Therefore, this private suspension is equivalent to no adjustment.

Donald planned to go back and re-prepare the materials and study the other party's new set of words.

Just as Collins was about to announce that he would return at another date, Ciara suddenly spoke:

"Now, we can talk about the elves."

Donald almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Is there an end?

Collins also frowned: "According to the rules, it is ...... now"

"Regardless of the rules, shouldn't you ask the opinion of Her Royal Highness the Three Kings first?" Siara asked rhetorically.

Then stared at each other with burning eyes.

Renee was stunned for a moment, then returned the favor with a strange look.

For the first time in so many years, she felt like she had been seen through.

But instead of getting angry, she had a ......

Strong anticipation.

It is the expectation of the opponent in chess, and the expectation of like-mindedness.

"Yes, I think we can talk about it."

She nodded slowly under everyone's gaze.

"That's it."

Seeing this scene, Megumi chuckled inwardly.

The foreshadowing has been laid for so long in order to allow Theara to show off her skills in front of Renee.

Her Royal Highness is an ambitious and rebellious politician.

Although the plot party on the forum likes to describe her as "addicted to food", that is the prejudice from God's point of view.

What happens in the game is brought into the real world, which is a great change that has not been seen in thousands of years.

In the face of the torrent of the times, it is natural that she will be crushed.

As such a person, she naturally has her own judgment on the situation.

After Siara shows enough strength, she will also recognize the other party.

Then, there's collaboration.

Who to work with is not a cooperation?

Siara has made it clear.

Since Eternal Dawn can't solve the withering, there are only two possibilities:

1. Blighting has nothing to do with dead air.

2. They can't solve the dead air.

In that case, why not let the Shadow Sanctuary give it a try?

Moreover, the Whispering Forest borders the Northlands, with the Green Leaf Garden as a hub, so the two sides can continue to communicate.

On top of that, like the Mercury royal family, the Shadow Sanctuary is a woman.

Even the incarnation of the Dead Whisperer they revere is a woman.

So they have similar environments and perceptions.

Seeing that both Collins and Donald had an unbelievable expression on their faces, Megumi just wanted to laugh in her heart.

In terms of the study and grasp of the role, you are comparable to me??

In terms of understanding and mastery of "magic vs. bombardment", you are comparable to me?

Your version is too backward, brothers!

She was happy that she had finally found her own track.

She couldn't help but think of the four guys, too.

It would be nice if she had someone to show off at this time.

If it's "brothers", it's probably already blown up by now, right?

"Cow wow! Sister Black Belly! ”

"It's really you, Mr. Hui!"

"It's you!"

There is definitely no shortage of "hee-hee-ha" from some bastard hunter.

- Am I being pua by those guys??

She couldn't help but be suspicious.

Soon, the two ladies came to an agreement.

The Shadow Sanctuary will drop the appeal and extradite Silverwing back to the Mercury Forest.

In return, the Mercury Crown will provide research on the improvements that the Shepherds have conducted on the Metamorphosis over the past few hundred years, and both will conduct an in-depth study of the relationship between death and withering.

Moreover, Chiara also proposed a "third party" that no one expected.

"Dwarves?"

Donald was amused by the thought.

His admiration for Chiara, which had just risen, had now turned to disdain.

After all, this is just a young man who likes to fantasize.

There is a great deal of overlap between the nature preached by the elves and the elements revered by the dwarves.

Therefore, how to explain the extraordinary energy of each side has become the hardest hit area of the quarrel between the two sides.

Both sides understand that writing the scriptures is not important, but the right to interpret the scriptures is the core.

So even though the dwarves are the most likely to disagree with the wither, there has been no communication between the two sides after all these years.

Of course, there are elves of laziness and tradition, and the conflict of ideas between them has also made a lot of contributions.

So he wasn't worried at all that Renee would say yes.

Donald, however, was surprised to see Reneeten stand up, and his eyes were even more astonished.

"I will do everything I can to get the royal family's consent."

The Three Princesses were more solemn than ever.

"This moment will be written into history."

"I think so too."

Siara stood up and smiled.

……

The private mediation was "successfully".

The two ladies also talked about small things from big things to small things.

For example, Renee began to wonder what shade of Chiara's red eyeshadow was.

If others don't say this, who would believe that the two of them were on the same page a few days ago?

Donald was going to leave directly, but was stopped by Collins.

Originally, he would not care about such an ordinary professor.

However, the outbreak of the Void Disaster caused the Academy of Truth to lose a large number of professors and researchers.

As a result, Collins's former midstream level has also become a mainstay.

"What's the matter with you, Your Excellency?" He asked.

Collins smiled: "I heard that Your Excellency used to spend a lot of time in the mountains of McKara?" ”

Donald shook his head and said, "No, I should say that I have spent almost fifty years of my life there. ”

"Oh? This is truly surprising. ”

Collins changed his words and suddenly said, "I went to the Withered Marks of the Whispering Forest not long ago, where I met your Sun Knight His Excellency Gawain, I don't know if he is on any special mission, and if he is still there......"

Donald's expression froze.

Where did Gawain go?

He recovered quickly, shaking his head to indicate that he didn't know about it.

"Why are you so interested in the mountains of McKara?" He asked rhetorically.

"It's important there, we all know about it."

Collins smiled, then retracted his expression and said solemnly:

"And now that the web has been destroyed, and our people have been recalled, it is equivalent to losing control there.

"I suspect that Void Pollution will erupt from the Traces of Withered...... Even if the strange beasts dare not enter the mountains of McKara, the demonic beasts that are driven away will form a beast tide. ”

Donald's expression moved: "What do you mean ......"

Collins: "If His Excellency Gawain is still stationed there, why don't you ask him to protect him?" ”

Donald narrowed his eyes: "Does this represent the ...... of Villitas?"

"No, just my personal advice."

Collins smiled and lowered his voice:

"Say hello to Archmage Duck on my behalf."

Donald's face froze.

He immediately understood it all.

In order to please his uncle, this guy deliberately gave himself a "perfect excuse".

At this time, the mages did not have time to pay attention to the mountains of McAllalla.

So, what Eternal Dawn wanted to do in the past but was repeatedly destroyed, can now be done.

Once the dwarves, the Nices, and the elves form an alliance and really start researching what blight is in the Whispering Forest, they never have a chance again.

Although he knew that Villitas had never been monolithic inside, it was the first time he had seen such a blatant currying favor.

"I will, Professor Collins."

Donald smiled, "If you have time, how about coming to my uncle's birthday dinner next week?" ”

"Of course, it's a great honor."

The two looked at each other and smiled, each pregnant with a ghost.

……

In the afternoon, the Volvich shipyard in the 81st district.

Mr. Basque, a wealthy new dwarven merchant, brought his butler, Mr. Red, to inspect the area.

Three days earlier, Basque had bought it at Red's suggestion.

Now he finally took time out of the endless entertainment to take a look at his future industry.

After walking around, Basque had a head of question marks.

Because he was worried that he would be regarded as an uninformed hillbilly, he forced himself to wonder and walked to the open space where there was no one before asking:

"What's going on? How could such an outstanding shipyard go bankrupt? ”

Red, or rather Qian Duoduo, immediately explained seriously:

"In case you didn't know, Villitas has four manufacturers of airships with a long history and very different personalities. Among them, Volvich is also known as a military factory, because it participated in the manufacture of a large number of weapons of war in the past. ”

Basque: "No wonder they have that smell in terms of staff management and production processes......

Duoduo: "Actually, the products are too, they always have the style of military supplies - the appearance is old-fashioned, the lines are rough, but the leather is durable, and the quality is excellent." ”

Basque wondered: "So why is it bankrupt?" ”

"Sir, this is a time of peace, and what an airship needs is not a magic-proof shell and stability that can continue to fly even if half of its body is blown up, but a comfortable interior and stylish shape, as well as a 'quality' that needs to be repaired every few years." ”

The Basque Country was even more depressed.

"You mean the good stuff makes the bad guy?"

Duoduo said solemnly: "It is the bad money that drives out the good money, sir, you have to learn to use these advanced words." ”

"Yes, yes, bad money, good money."

The Basque took note very carefully.

"But what's the matter with the 200,000 gold coins in arrears?" He asked, "If the business is just slowly going downhill, how can you owe so much money?" ”

Duoduo: "The production of Villitas' airships is such that every time there is a major technological breakthrough in the Institute of Truth, it will bid contractors for the drawings. The 200,000 gold coins were the loan they applied for in order to obtain the blueprints of the 'Void Shuttle Type I'. ”

Basque was speechless: "200,000 for a drawing? It's too easy to make money......"

"That's not all, sir. After that, for every airship sold, they had to give a sum of money to the House of Truth. ”

Duoduo smiled: "Compared with the latter ones, these 200,000 are considered small money." ”

"I really don't know much."

Basque shook his head and sighed.

He also understands what happened next.

Despite the creation of the first Void Shuttler Type I, the Void Calamity erupted.

The Void not only devoured Volvic's original owner, but also severely affected the Demon Net.

This makes the new airship, whose core competence is to use phase technology to fly close to the magic net, a complete joke.

As for insurance and banking, they don't care if you've suffered a "natural disaster" or not.

That's the opportunity for him to pick up the slack.

No, strictly speaking, "Red" was given this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Basque couldn't help but look at this Konoo.

After a few days of contact, he has completely trusted the other party.

To put it mildly, if Red is a liar, then a large part of his fortune has already been swindled.

But not only did he not do this, but he also exposed himself to a large number of big people that he had never thought of before.

Basque was a man who had nothing else, but he was not lacking in self-knowledge, so he could see it clearly.

He had only thought of coming to Villitas to live the rest of his life in abundance.

I didn't expect that now not only did I start a factory, but I even had the possibility of entering the political arena......

Duoduo persuaded him to buy this place, but it was not just as simple as producing airships.

The outbreak of the Void Calamity has dealt a head-on blow to the airship industry.

Because this thing is powered by and only powered by Charged Stones.

And as the mages poured tons of charged stones into it to fill the void rift, the price of this thing has risen by 4250%.

That's more than 40 times.

Only then did people realize that the originally bulky floating city was so fragrant!

How cheap is tinder!

No matter how bad it is, can't you ride flying beasts and monsters?

As a result, there were a lot of layoffs in the airship industry, and the unemployed protested all day long.

Vitas could ignore the refugees on the last 10 islands, but he could not turn a blind eye to the demands of the citizens.

At this time, Basque made a decisive move to buy a shipyard that was on the verge of bankruptcy, saving thousands of people from losing their jobs.

What is it called?

This is called a responsible capitalist!

This is the capital of his future candidacy.

"So what do we produce next? Are we going to do Floating City too? Basque asked.

"We also produce Void Shuttlers, but not Type I anymore, Type II." Duoduo smiled.

Basque was stunned: "Why?" ”

"Because our airship is going to be changed to fire."

"How is this possible! Isn't that the patent of the Shadow Temple? ”

Toto: "Yes, so we're working with the Shadow Temple. Before you do, though, you'll need to return to the south to gather a group of totems who are knowledgeable about elemental power, especially the power of the earth. ”

"Totemist?" The Basque Country couldn't keep up with the other party's train of thought: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Mediate between the elves and the Nices, and then, try to unravel the secret of the wither."

Duoduo smiled.

……

……

At the same time, the mountains of Maikala.

Heine had no idea how his two disconnected spirits were doing trouble in Villitas.

He didn't know what interesting things were going to happen in the future.

After all, what lies ahead is interesting enough.

In front of him lay a severed head, with an almost black cotton wool-like brain inside.

It's not mental exhaustion, it's ...... Squeeze dry.

In addition, it was Mr. Xia who rushed back overnight.

He said he was supposed to bring back a body, but because it was too heavy, he only cut off his head.

The other party was the father of Hatar, the former soul priest of the Split-Toe Clan, and the Zanro people believed that he died of a "violent death", and his body was buried the same day.

So he did his old job and came back with a head.

"You're saying he's actually exhausted to send messages to the underworld?" He asked.

"Yes"

"And this broken mirror can be used by one person?"

"Yes"

"There's no encryption at all in their communication, and there's no identification link?"

"Yes"

Heine frowned: "Is there a problem with your skills, and you can only show this one word?" ”

Ms. Xia: "No."

Heine was speechless.
