Penny didn't sleep long, but after an hour, he woke up, saw the teacher downstairs drinking tea, marveled at how quickly the other person reacted, and at the same time felt a little ashamed of his own snooze.

However, when he heard the news brought by Zhan Huashi, his mood was even worse.

"I don't know where the problem came from, but the Ream family and the Bouvare family actually protested together to the seat parliament, indicating that there may be a shady campaign this time, and they need to change the election procedures. A helpless wry smile appeared on Zhan Huashi's face: "I don't know who exposed the matter of Feinstein's internal heir, and the matter is very unfavorable to us now." ”

"Definitely Del Songpaya. Penny frowned, "But how could a mage take his claims so easily? He has no tangible evidence that Feinstein is cheating." ”

After all, what is not proven is equivalent to nothing that has never happened, and this law prevailing in the dark region will also apply to the red-robed mage, but if you want to use the rules on the table to attack each other, sufficient evidence is necessary.

"It's not important, it's important to know that Lord Feinstein and Luxendier are both people who are not accepted by the family interest system and are in awkward positions. Zhan Huashi put his hands together in front of the bridge of his nose, and his eyebrows were deeply locked: "So people with strong backgrounds really don't need sufficient evidence to suppress them through formal channels."

It is enough to assume that Feinstein and Luxendier have a goodwill relationship that exceeds that of ordinary colleagues......"

Penny was also a little speechless in his heart: "Then we have no way to remedy it?"

"We have made a remedy. The mentor nodded, "The Mage Council has decided to send a council of five Seat Mentors to preside over this election. ”

"Five seat mentors?!" Penny was speechless, in other parts of Faeron, a ** master who can release ninth-level spells can almost affect the rise and fall of a small country, even if it is Ser, the total number of ** masters of this level is only twenty-four!

But because of this campaign, five came at once.

With the addition of Feinstein himself, there will be a total of six seat mentors in this small place.

But it's not too bizarre to think about it, after all, the original dean of this college is the four seats of the plastic energy department, and it is not too much to decide the ownership of this important position.

"One of the five Seat Mentors is definitely inclined towards us, and two are their allies, one is the current Spell System Three Gulkosut, who is from Bovar, and the other is Tifont Lopens of House Reem. James Wath introduced the situation in a calm voice.

"As for the other two...... It's someone who can fight for it, but don't expect them to release too much water......"

"That's all the court can do. Zhan Huashi suddenly sighed helplessly: "The problem has been raised to the level of the seat council, and the trial court can no longer play a big role...... We don't dare to push too hard...... Otherwise, it will attract attention. ”

"...... like this" Penny's eyebrows were locked and he thought deeply for a while, and exhaled weakly, his whole body seemed to collapse for a while, and he smiled bitterly.

The news from the top of the Mage Guild didn't really make Luxendier's competitive path come to a desperate end.

But when he saw the solemn expression on Jenvash's face, he suddenly realized that this was definitely not the worst news.

"Mentor ......" He quickly found the crux of the problem: "Excuse me, Lord Most, after he was attacked, ......"

Before he could finish his question, he had already obtained the answer from the wry smile on Zhan Huashi's face, and his heart immediately sank.

If a person is too injured to compete, then external conditions are useless, no matter how favorable they may be.

"It's not something you can interfere with anymore. Jenvath sighed again, got up and patted Penny on the shoulder, which made the latter feel an inexplicable heaviness.

His teacher turned around and put on his coat and whispered in Penny's ear, "I'll try to find another way to find another supporter." ”

The footsteps faded away until the sound of the gate closing could be heard in the distance.

As if awakened, Penny regained his ability to think.

He recalled Zhan Huashi's words, and a feeling of powerlessness came from the bottom of his heart, making him feel like a worm crawling in his head, and this uncomfortable feeling almost went crazy:

Why is there nothing that can be done?

Strength...... He lacks strength.

At this moment, he felt this deeply, driven by some unknown emotion, more profound than ever.

His heart was pounding, his face was distorted, and his eyes shimmered with a dark red light.

It was not some kind of metaphor or description, but a real red light emitted from the depths of his pupils, like a flame burning in the shadows, staining his vision red.

"Penny, what's wrong with you?"

The red light in the mage's eyes disappeared immediately.

"I didn't ...... Nothing. ”

He seemed to wake up at once, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with some strange looks, turned his head, and shook his head at Hiccol, but the pale face startled the girl.

"Your face is so ugly, let's go sleep for a while. ”

Penny nodded silently, sensing something was not right, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He had no choice but to go back to the bedroom and tidy up his mess.

...... News of the assassination of the candidate soon spread throughout Sanophon and the surrounding area, followed by rumors that Luxendil had been seriously wounded and bedridden in the assassination...... The injuries of high-level mages are difficult to treat, especially the arcane casters who have a deep understanding of the nature of magic, and the indescribable connection they have with the source sea makes their physique instinctively resist any medical treatment from divine magic, most healing spells acting on mages will be reduced to varying degrees, and legendary level spellcasters completely reject all divine healing.

So this news gave the red-robed mage in this area a big shock, and when the follow-up news came, after learning that the election procedures had changed, it was even more in an uproar.

Del Songpaya appreciates the effect of his campaign, and in his opinion, joining Darren Moore Academy is a matter of course, and now he just has to wait.

Even Booard has reached a compromise with the top brass of the Ream family to consider giving up this position as long as they are willing to give up a part of the interests of the Sambian Concession.

And the upper echelons of the Ream family have decided to accept this price.

After all, Ream has enough financial resources overseas, but in the past few years, the development of the country has been relatively weak, and it is something that Rem can't ask for to be able to enter this academy that accommodates one-fifth of the red-robed mages.

Anyway, it took less than a few years to build the area, and it was a fisherman's profit, so it didn't hurt much if it was lost.

Rem and Bouvre took what they needed, and they were all happy.

Thinking of the origin of the Sambian Concession, a smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the high-level ring mentor.

"Oh, Lord Paya, congratulations!" a red-robed mage at the head of the long table toasted him.

It's a banquet inside Rim.

The lobby used as a restaurant is not glittering, but the menu on the table is varied, from boreal fish from the great glacier to grilled chops made from alpine bison ribs, and the red wines of the Golden Plains are rich and aromatic in a crystal glass, showing the incredible wealth of Reem.

Hearing the praise of his subordinates, Del Songpaya did not get carried away, and his gaze deepened and deepened.

As a mage, keeping your emotions under control is the most basic quality, and if you lose it, the magical power of your out-of-control mind will create a new demon.

The magic net was also set up to prevent this from happening.

However, it is not because of the magic net that mages can not pay attention to self-cultivation, although most of them are bubbling with bad hearts, but in general, the red-robed mages are still sensible.

The brutality of reason...... Even if he is domineering on the surface, he is still sober in his heart:

"Haha, that stupid fellow of Luxendier, he thought he could fool our own people with that trick, oh, I think he's been with those foreigners for so long that his own head has gotten dumb. A mage laughed and sarcastically mocked the loser.

"It's also his bad luck. "A red-robed mage gloated.

"Haha, so he's a ...... Unlucky ghost. ”

"Forget it. Del Songpaya waved his hand majestically and pressed the small talk of his subordinates: "The matter is not over yet, our subject still has to continue, I don't know why the seat council is so difficult to talk this time, and it really formed a group to come down to select...... The odds are high, but we still have to convince others as much as possible. ”

Seeing that the leader became serious, a group of mages stopped laughing, stood up, and bowed:

"Do your will. ”

...... He woke up from a coma.

As soon as he reached out and touched the sharp blade on his waist, he heard the sound of the door being opened, he got up vigilantly, and saw the girl with her mouth open in surprise, and after frowning her eyebrows, she stretched out again: "Oh, you are the little girl of Dehumi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

His voice was hoarse and heavy with dust, like the wind blowing from the desert.

"Hello. Siccel bowed respectfully: "Thank you also for your help in Dehumi." ”

"That's nothing, that...... What about the male boss?" said this, but his eyes fell to the door early.

The red-robed mage was already standing there.

Penny had just heard the words come and opened an arbitrary door and rushed up.

This is a powerful warrior who can easily kill two Abyssal Demon Hunters, and can also have the strength to escape after assassinating a High Ring Mentor.

He didn't know where this person's powerful combat power came from without a demonic beast-like physique and unable to perform powerful magic.

A guy who fights by ** has this kind of power, which is absolutely an incredible thing in Faerun.

Unlike spellcasters, mages study spell power, although the speed is not fast, but when the level reaches a very high level, it is not very difficult to progress, as long as the route is correct, the talent is enough, and there is no too harsh and insurmountable peak.

However, no matter how hard a human warrior trains, it is difficult to surpass the limitations of the innate physique of living beings, so a samurai who can be called a legend is rare in Faerun.

Although the two sides have dealt with each other, they get along happily and have saved each other's lives.

But in this position, he is not sure that his kindness will be rewarded.

He cautiously dragged the girl behind him, and in front of the door was a protective wall, even the high demons in the abyss would take a few strokes to penetrate.

There is also an ice wall spell that can be triggered at any time.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not shameless enough to attack a helper. The man shook his head: "Besides, as you can see, I am weak now. ”

Penny looked up silently:

"This ...... It's rude, but we hope you get out of here as soon as you recover. ”

"Ha, what a hospitable host, and a world of difference from the way you look in Dehumi. The man laughed twice, then coughed, "Could it be that wearing a red robe can change you so much?"

"When you make a choice, you have to live with the consequences. The mage said silently: "What's more, your actions have already shown that you are the enemy of the Red Robe Mage Society. ”

"You're wrong. The middle-aged man shook his head disappreciatively: "It's just that person who has an enmity with me, in fact, I don't have much prejudice against Searle." ”

"Well, I can provide you with a place to heal your wounds, but I can't help you fight him, I'm sorry. Penny spread his hands: "I'm a red-robed mage." ”

"Hehe, then your favor, I will remember. The middle-aged man smiled, as if unimpressed: "Your name is Penny Sean, I remember your name in Dehumi, my name is Lundy Cross." ”

Lundy, Cross Penny chewed on the name, making sure that he was unheard of, and he didn't know which powerful warrior who walked Feren matched the name, but he didn't dwell too much on it, Feren was too big, and some things he didn't know were normal.

Besides, he was not interested in knowing.

"Well, then, please rest well, Mr. Cross. Penny bowed and walked out of the room, "I'll be careful not to let anyone disturb you." ”

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. The terrifying warrior nodded and closed his eyes.

Penny closed the door and exhaled softly.

This short conversation has put a lot of pressure on him.

What effect would the presence of such an enemy of Luxendier in his residence have on his career in Sanophon?

But there is no doubt that he feels that his future has become unpredictable, and he has a headache even more.
