A mage who has no foundation and is new to the school, no matter how powerful he is, cannot be immediately entrusted with a heavy task by a wizarding organization, even if the form of this wizarding organization is very loose, and even a considerable number of wizards in it do not know each other.

There is no doubt that it is a fantasy for a guy who is unfamiliar to most wizards in this organization to become a senior leader.

This was true of Penny, who, when he attended the Guild's meeting, knew the names of the wizards in the Guild beforehand, but it was difficult to match each name to the many faces.

The wizards also looked at the young-looking fellow with distrust.

At this time, not many people believed that the wizard in front of him was a young man under twenty years old, and many more people saw Pan Diesel as an old monster who used witchcraft to hide his real age.

Of course, there are also people who think that this wizard is a genius who has never been seen before, but few people are willing to think so, and few wizards are willing to spend their own scarce time to explore the origin of a wizard, in their opinion, it is better to study a few more spells with such time.

Therefore, the wizards present had some impatience on their faces, and if it weren't for the fact that this kind of meeting was in their interest, they wouldn't have wasted their time here.

Of course, most wizards came here for a bad purpose for Penny - they were afraid that old Banks would get into trouble and arrange for the wizards to manipulate their chain of interests.

In other words, they came against Penny.

However, Penny surprised these wizards, a two-hundred-page plan copied dozens of copies and fell into the hands of wizards, which recorded the development plan of the Wizards of the Coast Association in the next few years, what kind of benefits each association members could receive from it, and what level of resources should be allocated, all of which were clearly recorded, and clearly marked the future development goals of the Wizards of the Coast Association- Combined with more efficient coastal logistics and magical industrial products, the Association's assets will increase by at least 50% within three years, and will allow the wizards in the Association to receive better benefits.

After all, a group of wizards who are said to be companions of arcane research rarely think about these things, and their eyelids are beating to read this plan line by line, trying to analyze the meaning behind each paragraph, and the answer is naturally that it is greatly beneficial to them, and at the end of the plan there is a guarantee from the Edmont family and the church of Tyre - the meaning is self-explanatory.

As long as the people supported by these two groups can get the desired status, they will assist in the implementation of the plan.

"Uh...... This, Mr. Diesel, is truly astonishing. Tyran Banks, the president of the Coast Society, coughed dryly, apparently he was also taken aback by the portion Penny had taken out, although he was the president of the Association, his concept was not much different from that of ordinary wizards - just the traditional distribution of resources within the Association, so that all wizards could be content with studying spells, and training more apprentices for their own profit, as for integrating the resources of the Association and contacting the Coast Chamber of Commerce for further development, he had no such idea.

It may sound incredible, but it's not incomprehensible in terms of the special surnames of the wizarding community - wizards are educated to make most wizards nerds who are dedicated to the study of spells, and even if they have a sense of using spell resources for their own benefit, some limited surnames can make it difficult for them to dig deeper.

And Penny comes from a country where the use of magic for profit is relatively prevalent, and he knows the importance of development planning, so it is not surprising that these wizards are amazed.

"Thank you for the compliment. In the face of President Banksy's boasting, knowing that this was just a polite sentence with surprise, Penny modestly coped with it, and did not further say his ambition: "I just think that the current resource utilization of the association is too inefficient, and we can use the existing resources to obtain more benefits, which is very beneficial to every member of the association." ”

"It's a really good plan, and I can see the potential in it......," Banksy muttered, "and if it can be executed, it will be very beneficial to the association, and I believe that no member will object to this......"

Speaking of this, most of the members nodded, the wizard's plan is extremely detailed, even specific to the resources involved in each link, and as little as possible to interfere with the wizards' research, but also allow them to get better benefits from the development of the association, such a good thing, of course, they have no reason to object.

"However, such a plan is a bit difficult to implement, first of all, who will be responsible for carrying out this plan?" Banksy raised his eyebrows at the mention of this.

All the eyes of the wizards were on Pan Diesel, who had come up with the plan.

Naturally, this group of wizards is unwilling to devote valuable research time to this kind of practice of serving the public, and if they want to implement the plan, they must of course count on the leaders and organizers of the association.

The best organizer was Pan Diesel, who came up with the plan, which included the business power of a Simon merchant family and the support of the Church of Tyre, and it was only fitting that this wizard would carry it out.

If this plan were implemented by another person, the two organizations would not necessarily buy the Coast Society's account.

This required the Wizards of the Coast Association to give Pan Diesel the authority he deserved.

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to hand over the leadership of the association to this strange wizard.

Thinking of this, many members of the association have begun to admire with jealousy Pan Diesel's methods, this plan is clearly an excellent bait to lure them into the bait, as long as these wizards are attracted by the interests indicated in the plan, it is bound to give Pan Diesel the status he needs.

These wizards can only do nothing about this, although there are many wizards who have roots in the Dragon Coast, but they are either not strong themselves, or they can't think of such a method, or for various reasons, without the conditions of Pan Diesel, of course, they can't come up with such a trick.

With such a great temptation in front of him, and with the protection of the nobles of Simon City and the church of Tyre, the strange face of Pan Diesel was no longer so unacceptable in the eyes of a group of wizards.

Of course, there are always twists and turns, and even though it is known that the appointment of Pan Diesel will bring benefits to the association, there are still many minds that refute the concerns of the mage.

"However, we still have some questions, and we hope that Mr. Diesel can explain accordingly. A voice came out of the corner: "I heard that the church of Edmund and Tyre had a conflict with the dark creatures of Simon some time ago, and we all know that those vampires actually control most of the interests of Simon City, and Lord Diesel seems to have played a key role in this conflict, we are really very worried, if you enter the leadership of the association, will it draw the association into the conflict of Simon City?"

Penny's brow knotted, this fateful question immediately struck a chord in the hearts of countless wizards, it was clear that these selfish guys were willing to enjoy the profits brought by the plan, but it was difficult to accept the trouble it brings, and it was hard to imagine that these wizards would be willing to accept such consequences if Penny took office and would involve these wizards in the conflict with the vampires.

Selfishness and self-reliance, this is the common surname of many wizards, the unique methodology has created the lonely surname of most wizards, even the middle and lower class wizards who have not fully awakened the methodology, will gradually move closer to this direction, whether the essence is good or evil, wizards are unapproachable, and it is surprisingly difficult to get their approval.

As a group above the mortal society, in the eyes of these wizards, the difference between whether Simon City is ruled by vampires or humans is not too big, they just need a quiet environment where they can study spells, if the vampires choose to ignore the wizarding association, there is a high probability that the wizards will sit back and watch the civil strife in Simon City.

This idea is undoubtedly short-sighted and narrow-minded, but it is not easy to get wizards to abandon it.

Luckily, Penny had already anticipated this:

"Oh, I think I can tell the difference between the internal affairs of the Association and the affairs of the Foreign Affairs, and I certainly will not actively involve the power of the Association in the fight against the dark creatures. ”

Penny's promise was not difficult, he was certainly not stupid enough to use the power he obtained to drive these wizards to do what he did not like to do, there were many ways to achieve the goal, and now he only needed to get the position with the right to speak.

The promise was met with silence from the audience, who apparently did not believe Penny's empty fangs, until the wizard's next sentence caused them to exclaim, "Oh, if you don't trust me enough, I can ask the church of Tyre to notarize my promise." ”

This sentence shocked all the wizards, although the wizarding world and the gods are not short distance, but the honesty and trustworthiness of the Tyre Church is known to all the Feron creatures, if a transaction is guaranteed by the Tyre Church, then both parties to the transaction, can rest assured - if one party defaults, the Tyre cultists will do their best to get the defaulter to abide by the agreement.

If the church in Tyre can notarize Penn Diesel's promise, it seems that the wizards here will no longer have to worry about getting involved in conflict with the vampires because of Penny's rise to power.

While the Church of Tyre was at the vanguard of the conquest of the vampires of Simon, no wizard doubted their credibility.

"Oh, hurry up and get it done, Banksy boy, the most critical engine part of my Steam Fortress is still being taught, don't waste my time too much. Xiao Brandt, who was sitting in the highest seat, yawned and patted his mouth gently.

President Banks groaned as he watched the reactions of the guild's wizards, who were clearly at loggerheads, but unable to come up with a unanimous opinion, because of Penny's promise.

Or rather, the idea that they oppose is not so resolute.

Banks stared at Penny's face, a young face that seemed to be hell-bent on using that elaborate plan for the benefit of the Wizards of the Coast, and wouldn't drag the Society's resources into the battle with the vampires, as he promised.

However, his years of experience in the Wizards of the Coast still made him aware of the vague wrongness, but he couldn't say it for a while, and it was not until he saw the wizards holding the plan in their hands and discussing it with red ears and red ears, that he finally woke up in a burst of excitement.

If the resources of the Coast Society and the wizards really invest in this plan, then there will inevitably be a conflict of interests with the Tyre Church and the Edmont family, and if these two parties conflict with the vampires, it will inevitably affect the wizards of the Coast Society.

These wizards, whose interests are entangled with the Edmont family and the church of Tyre, will certainly not remain indifferent when their interests are threatened by the vampires.

It's a decoy, and if the Wizards of the Coast does swallow it, no matter how sincere Penn Diesel's commitment to a strict and orderly deity is, the wizards of the Guild will eventually clash with the vampires.

This discovery made Banks hesitate, and he looked at Pan Diesel with a wary look, but he knew that it would be unwise to refuse at this point - the constant whispers in his ears around him made him know that quite a few wizards had been tempted by the plan.

And President Banks further discovered that in fact, Pan Diesel was more capable of organizing such a plan to attract the participation of the wizards in the guild, without even the permission of his president, and the interests would make the wizards make a choice—at that time, the prestige and power of his president would be seriously eroded.

If he had not fulfilled Pan Diesel's demands, such consequences would have been foreseeable.

President Banks finally sensed a dilemma.

The original intention of attracting this strange wizard into the Coastal Wizards Association was to squeeze benefits from it, after all, the benefits that a high-level wizard can bring to the association are inexhaustible, and the Ximen nobleman standing behind this wizard at that time was also quite attractive to him.

But now such a situation seems to mock his cocooning and self-restraint.

Reveal Pan Diesel's intentions to his face?

Banksy half-raised his eyebrows, his eyebrows tangled in knots.

This was never a good idea, as it would have caused him to offend Pan Diesel, a wizard he could not figure out, which was inconsistent with his usual style.

And the voice in the elders' seat also let him know how unwise it is to directly contradict Pan Diesel:

"Oh, Banks, I don't think we need to hesitate too much, it's not often that there are wizards who are willing to do practical things for the Guild. These words come from Elder Miria.

It is said that Pan Diesel saved the elder once during the turmoil in Waterdeep.

Banks' gaze turned to the last Elder Bucklaw, who had not yet spoken, the old man leaning back in his chair, his eyes squinted, his eyes closed.

Of course, he would not refuse the immediate benefits because of the slightest filth between his son and Pan Diesel.

To Banks' displeasure, none of the three elders seemed to see through the purpose behind Penn Diesel's plan—not that he didn't have that intelligence, but that he didn't have the consciousness to do so.

So he had no choice but to start his amplification technique, and with a dry cough interrupted the discussion of the wizards present, he tried to make his eyes look a little apologetic, and turned to Pan Diesel: "Oh, Mr. Diesel, I think the elders and I need to discuss it for a while before deciding whether to implement this plan. ”

"Okay. Penny frowned, and after a moment, his brow was still furrowed, he didn't expect this plan to handle everyone, so he went straight to the elder after the meeting.

"Oh? Mr. Diesel. Apparently surprised by the wizard's arrival, Banksys' hand pouring tea for himself froze in the air, and the tea overflowed, causing him to retract his fingers a little embarrassed from pinching the teaglass, but his face calmed down again as he sorted out the water on the table.

"Elder, you seem to have doubts about my plans. Penny sat down in the chair across from Banksy's desk and took the teacup from the elder, "I don't want to hide anything from you, so I've come over to talk to you." ”

This honesty undoubtedly surprised President Banks, and he raised his eyebrows and was silent for a while before exhaling, "Truth be told, Mr. Diesel, I am embarrassed by your plan, most wizards in the guild would not willingly be enemies of vampires. ”

Wizards rarely be honest with each other, but once a conversation begins in such a situation, if one party chooses to deceive, the conversation descends into hypocritical mutual politeness.

No one is stupid.

President Banks knew that Penn Diesel's actions at the meeting were abrupt and somewhat offensive to his authority as president, but he showed a certain level of respect when he came to the door at this time, and of course, if he hadn't been able to get a glimpse of Penny's plan, then Penny wouldn't have visited him - the mentally handicapped deserved to be taken advantage of, and that was the law of wizarding dealings, at least in Banks' eyes.

Only when the two sides of the capital are equal to each other are afraid and respectful, it will be particularly meaningful.

So Banksy was still in a good mood right now, and Penny's visit had made him feel much less disgusted.

"My plan will make them willing, and there is no motivation more effective than having their interests violated. Penny said.

"But why should we be enemies of those guys?" President Banks frowned, "We are wizards above society. ”

"No, that's not the case, dear Banks, you know, those vampires will also think that their existence is above society, if they control Simon, will they be indifferent to the existence of the Wizards of the Coast?" Penny said calmly: "The important thing is that we have the strength to threaten them, if they really control Simon, in order to cope with external pressure, they will definitely not allow the Guild to continue to exist as a force that can threaten them, so sooner or later, the two sides will become enemies." ”

"Sooner or later, the two sides will become enemies?" Banksy repeated with a twinkle in his eyes and a whisper.

"Think about it, Banks, no human force will allow vampires to establish a kingdom on the Dragon Coast, there are Sambia and Cormier to the north, they are all protected by the gods of the good camp, the church is very powerful, as long as Simon's chaos makes them feel threatened, they will take action immediately, even if it is impossible to eliminate a large number of troops, the power of those churches alone, I am afraid that this will be a headache for these vampires, in such a situation, how can they allow an uncontrolled force to continue to exist on the Dragon CoastPenny analyzed: "Okay, you have to know, not to mention whether these vampires will allow the existence of the association after they take power, even now, in the struggle between those light forces and vampires, what benefits can we get if we choose to stand by?

Banksy's eyebrows tightened as Penny's words fell into deep thought.

"To tell you the truth, I'm not without selfishness, Lord Banks, but I think my opinion is ultimately in favor of the Wizarding Guild, and all in all, as a group of interests, we can't get away from the soil of the Dragon's Coast, so we might as well take the initiative to gain more influence, that's what I think. Penny took a cup of tea and stopped speaking.

"You have a lot of truth in what you say, dear Diesel. Banksy's fingers tapped lightly twice on the desk, and he looked up and looked at Penny's face with a scrutinizing gaze, "I have one last question, though. ”

"I want to hear about it. Penny waved his right hand.

"You...... Will it pull us in...... Revenge?" Banks' eyes narrowed with a flicker.

This inquiry silenced Penny until he got up from his chair and walked out of the room:

"That's my own business. ”

Banks' eyes narrowed, staring at the closed portal, and picked up the teacup again.
