When Nicholas was huddled in the dark dormitory and writing a letter to his mother, there was also a group of people in another corner of First University, thinking about how to write a reply.
This is also a room lacking light.
However, compared with Nicholas's compact and narrow dormitory, this room was nowhere high in terms of scale and momentum.
Although the stars in the sky in all directions have been extinguished, the dragon-shaped chandelier hovering above the oval desk lit up with several long whiskers.
The pale yellow light mixed with the faint blue light emerging from the dragon's two big eyes poured on the row of delicate clivias in the center of the conference table, coating them with a mysterious light film.
The conference table was bare.
No materials, no notebooks, no fruit plates, no snacks, no drinks.
Even the flower sperm who usually stayed and took a nap on the orchid leaves were carried out of the venue by the elves in gray uniforms.
Except for the six figures sitting around the conference table, there was no seventh panting guy in the entire conference room.
This is the office building of Jiuyou Academy, Room 101.
It is also the largest conference room in Jiuyou College.
The two vice-presidents of First University sat at both ends of the conference table, and the four deans of the college sat in two rows on both sides of the conference table.
On the left are Jiuyou Academy and Starry Sky Academy.
On the right are Alpha Academy and Atlas Academy.
Old Yao bit his black pipe, folded his arms, and stared at the Clivia in the center of the table, his brows furrowed into a big pimple; the dean of Starry Sky Academy sitting next to him was holding a short knife.
Wipe the blade of the knife carefully with a piece of blue silk cloth.
Professor Emma sat opposite Lao Yao, holding a stack of paper in her hand and reading silently under the faint light above her head; next to her, the dean of Atlas College sat with her eyes closed, holding a piece of paper between her fingers.
Twisting a string of bean-sized Bodhi beads.
Vice Principal Ruoyu's metal crutch was leaning against the table, and he was huddled in his dark robe, taking advantage of the deep space behind him, like a shadow.
Vice-Principal Shi Hui held his chin in his hands, his eyes slowly sliding across the faces of each participant. After a long time, he finally spoke softly and said:
"Please express your opinion about this letter from the Yuexia Council."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Yao grabbed his pipe and banged it on the conference table.
"It's unreasonable! It's really unreasonable!" He stared, and the pipe in his hand made a clanging sound: "This is taking advantage of the situation! It's blackmail! If we agree to their request, there will be no consequences for the instigator?!"
"Although I don't agree with Lao Yao's vulgar expression, I agree with his point of view." Professor Emma then expressed his opinion: "We should not only reject the letter from the Yuexia Parliament, but also find a way
Dispel their dangerous thoughts. The original intention of establishing the First University is to control those dangerous spells... If we allow the unscrupulous attempts of those outside, I am afraid that not only the Umbrella League, but also the whole world will be in turmoil again."
"It's difficult, it's difficult, it's difficult." The dean of Atlas Academy finally raised his eyelids, revealing a pair of gray-white eyes: "If I remember correctly, the Ghost Clan's Dark Blue Castle was banned just a few months ago.
A dimensional fluctuation laboratory... This is just what we discovered. There are five seats for senators in the Moon Parliament. In other words, there are five powerful forces like the ghost clan. Who can guarantee that they will not do this in private?
What about experiments? Or, who knows, how many studies and small-scale experiments they have conducted privately?”
"If you don't obey, you'll be beaten. After a few beatings, you'll be obedient." The dean of Starry Sky Academy expressed his opinion concisely: "The Starry Sky Academy's team can be dispatched at any time."
"Simple and crude," Professor Emma curled her lips and glanced at Lao Yao: "There is no technical content."
"The problem is that we don't have the extra power to carry out some kind of strong 'guidance' outside the school." The dean of Atlas Academy sighed deeply: "It is precisely because we need their power that we will
I am deeply troubled by this letter from them."
The conference room suddenly fell into silence.
This is indeed a big problem.
Because the resurgence of the Silent Forest came earlier this year, the estimated risks have also risen sharply. Most of the school workers in the school working committee, all senior students, some teaching assistants and lecturers and other middle and low-end forces in the school need to be prepared in advance.
Arrangements were made and corresponding precautions were taken, resulting in a serious shortage of manpower for the ongoing 'projects' in the black prison.
This is also the reason why the school issued a ‘recruitment order’ to the Yuexia Council.
But it is obvious that some old people in the Yuexia Council are keenly aware of the school's difficulties. In their replies, they tactfully mentioned that the council wanted to conduct some small experiments that would not harm the world in some 'deserted places', hoping that
Get support from First University.
These words have almost bluntly told the vice presidents and deans of First University that the Moon Council wants its own 'forbidden curse'.
At the end of the letter, Yuexia Council also mentioned with concern that if it could not obtain the protection of those powerful spells, the Council would have to leave "more" manpower to ensure its own safety.
This is why Lao Yao believes that the Yuexia Council is engaging in blackmail.
Of course, in Professor Emma's opinion, this may also be some kind of test by other forces within the Umbrella League. After all, for First University, the lack of high-end combat capabilities is like the O'Brien family missing a few old dishes.
The nanmu coffin is just as ridiculous.
In the eyes of many demons, the presence of the principal of First University in the school is a huge deterrent, enough to make them think twice before setting foot in the school.
Since the demon dared to invade First University, there is only one explanation.
…
The silence in the conference room continued.
Vice Principal Shi Hui's eyes fell on the shadow opposite.
For a long time, he remained motionless.
Master Ruoyu has always remained silent, like a stubborn stone, without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the venue was a bit subtle.
Lao Yao raised his pipe and broke the slightly awkward atmosphere.
"Excuse me," he chuckled, and raised his own question: "I would like to ask, how much power do we still lack in that incident half a year later? I remember that the school has recalled many high-level wizards from the new world...
…”
"The basic strength is still there." Vice Principal Shi Hui glanced at Lao Yao's pipe and said in a very calm tone: "It's just that the high-end strength is slightly lacking... According to the school's previous suggestions, the next month's council needs to send at least five senior leaders.
Wizard-level combat power for peripheral defense."
"Peripheral defense." Old Yao nodded, chewed on these words, and put the pipe into his mouth again.
"Indeed, these reinforcements will not be allowed to enter the inner city of the Black Prison. And in fact, we only need them to appear at a certain time in the future." Principal Shi took the trouble to add: "According to the information provided by the Divination Research Institute
Report, when that project is completed, the demons will most likely launch a large-scale attack."
The breathing in the conference room suddenly became a little heavier.
The 'extreme possibility' of the Divination Research Institute basically means that it will definitely happen. The last large-scale conflict between wizards and demons seemed to have been fifty years ago.
Rivers of blood flowed, and there were heavy casualties. It is not enough to describe its cruelty.
The faces of several deans looked very ugly.
Of course, except for the dean of Starry Sky Academy - he had an undisguised smile of satisfaction on his face.
"The five great wizards... are equivalent to their entire number of senators." Professor Emma nodded and said with a serious expression: "No wonder they dare to offer such a price."
"Hmph." The dean of Starry Sky Academy snorted coldly: "When did the ancient contract become a price that can be negotiated at will?! If the Moon Council refuses to fulfill their obligations, we can also ignore our responsibilities."
"No one has to refuse to fulfill their obligations." The dean of Atlas shook his head repeatedly: "We just need some high-end combat power... If the Moon Council sends some underage brats, or goes too far, they will directly order them to
What can we say when young people from our schools go to war?"
The atmosphere in the conference room was stagnant.
The dean of Starry Sky Academy was obviously speechless.
"Then, based on everyone's opinions." Vice President Shi Hui knocked on the conference table and concluded: "The First University's principle of non-proliferation of forbidden curses is consistent and firm. No one or any force is allowed to challenge this
One principle.”
"Secondly, the contract between the Moonlight Council and First University is sacred and must be abided by."
"Finally," she raised her head and looked at the always quiet figure across the conference table: "Based on the above two principles, anything can be discussed... The condition is that the school needs five senators from the next month's parliament to stipulate
Arrive at the specified place at the specified time.”
"I only want to add one more thing," Master Ruoyu finally said the first sentence at tonight's meeting. His voice was low and hoarse: "The school's hunting team is prepared for demons... without the six-person alliance."
Signed and shall not be used in the civil war of the Wizards Alliance."
"This is also the intention of the principal." Vice-President Shi Hui raised his lips slightly, with a satisfied expression on his face: "As long as the Yuexia Council abides by the ancient covenant, the First University will always open the door to them."
"Then, I will strengthen communication and coordination with Yuexia Council, hoping to achieve a win-win result." Vice Principal Ruoyu lowered his head and sighed deeply: "May Merlin bless you."
The dragon-shaped chandelier above the conference table flashed.
The light flowing downwards was like ropes, gradually being retracted and gathered into the dragon's body.
Several figures flashed slightly.
Then he disappeared quietly into this empty conference room.
The lights went out.
In the pitch-black void, only the two big blue eyes were left, waiting in deathly silence for the next time the lights would turn on.
