Compared to the northern battlefield where there are no enemies, a violent storm is about to come. Outside of the northern battlefield, the matter of demons being 'expelled' is not calm and completely insignificant.
The robot fleet transported goods from the two empires. This matter cannot be concealed. Because there are too many nobles involved, and there are even private chambers of commerce.
Even the contents of the goods cannot be kept secret, because too many people feel as if they have been robbed and cannot let go.
Even though no one wanted to know about these things at first, as those who handled it complained to their relatives and friends, the whole thing inevitably spread to the outside world, fermented, and expanded.
At first, everyone only felt unhappy that they had been robbed. Although the organic fleet solved the abyss demon in exchange for these supplies.
But mankind had experienced two or three years of suffering and war before this. The robots had only appeared for a few days. This huge disparity makes it hard to believe that the abyssal invasion was solved in this way.
It seems that at any time, the devil will suddenly appear again, catching everyone by surprise.
However, such negative emotions are only brewing. Midi is not like the hometown of a certain time traveler. The Internet and various self-media are developed. A small thing can be hyped to the sky in three minutes, and will be forgotten by the masses in three minutes.
There have been a lot of changes in the public opinion of Lost World after the emergence of the forum as a tool for people to communicate, but it has not reached a crazy level.
According to the general process, the magic tower may be built within the scheduled time limit, the robot fleet will return to the earth elemental world, and the relevant information on the forum may not have developed to the point of causing an uproar.
As soon as the robot fleet retreats and there is no target to attack, the whole thing should naturally cool down and no one will pay attention to it in the end. This is also the reason why someone plans to resolve the battle quickly, instead of procrastinating and giving the opponents something to do. The possibility of making waves.
However, things did not develop as some people expected. Because the contents of the goods searched by the robots led to some speculations, which eventually triggered the dissatisfaction of the Magicians Association.
The nobles competed with the magicians for materials that could be used to build magic towers, which in itself was quite dissatisfying to the magicians.
When the nobles gave these materials to the robots, they eventually discovered that they would be used to build a magic tower at the Gate of the Abyss. This can be said to have violated the taboos of magicians!
And it was the man who led the construction of the Magic Tower and would eventually settle in it. This betrayal of the small tacit understanding of the ruling class exploded directly on the forum where all public opinions circulated.
Guy Blax Tripwood is a man recognized by the world as one who is not allowed to come into contact with a magic tower again. Such a person wants to lead the construction of one... no! Two magic towers, and take them under his command!
How could the Magicians Association agree to such a crazy thing?
But is there any point in protesting? In both empires, the Magician Association has no control over the orders issued directly by the emperor. If someone within the empire fails to comply, it will be directly punished with treason.
You must know that after experiencing this war against the abyss invasion, power was at its most concentrated. The emperors of the two empires were old and in their prime, and they were even more powerful. There was no situation where a young emperor was in power and the emperor was weak and the ministers were strong.
At this time, who within the empire would dare to jump out and be a thorn in the side? It doesn't matter whether he dies or not, and if his family is wiped out, he won't get even the slightest sympathy.
As for the outside of the empire...if internal affairs can be easily affected by other forces, then it is not worthy of being included in the empire. Only the empire has always been able to dictate to others, when will it be someone else's turn to dictate to the empire.
Even empires of the same level would not do such a thing. Because if the two parties have opinions about each other, it is not just a verbal dispute. The only way to solve the problem between empires is to fight with real swords. Just like Karl
The Sluhe Empire is the same as the Hydel Empire.
How does the Magician Association control the actions of the robot fleet?
Not to mention the original robot, the elemental lords among the earth elemental elves, any magician who comes to talk to them will always have a discussion tone. How many people dare to order the elemental lords?
Moreover, the robot fleet is so high above that it does not come into contact with humans at all, nor does it respond to any magic that summons elemental spirits.
Even those improved special magic circles, when all the robots responded to a certain magician's call, the magic circles that could have summoned the robots could only consume the sacrifices in vain and only summon a wisp of smoke.
.
For those robots with ulterior motives, there is nothing they can do about it.
If everyone is far apart, no matter what small actions they make, they will be ignored if they see it. But since everyone is together and there are so many eyes, it is naturally impossible to do anything too outrageous.
Therefore, many people focused their attention on the most conspicuous target, which was the magician's home in the holy city of Estali.
It is a pity that the magician, as if he knew that he would be at the center of a dispute, fled to an unknown place early to take refuge. He left a room full of people who no one dared to offend.
Not to mention the unconfirmed former demon king, who is now a guest of the life system in the Church of Three Holy Lights; one of the two and a half owners of the mansion is the Marquis Balan of the Gwana Empire.
, the granddaughter of the old Duke of Kawei, and the niece of the current Grand Duke of Kawei.
Who dares to offend this family?
Whether the Demon King is real or not is another matter. Marquise Balan is a powerful noble. With the power behind her, provoking this person is no different from directly declaring war on a kingdom.
Therefore, after impartial people were specially allowed to enter the mansion and confirm that the target magician was not inside, no one continued to target the mansion in the holy city of Estali.
For magicians who want to make things bigger, making such a compromise is not without cost. Because the Thieves Guild has clearly stated that it will no longer accept any tasks related to that magician, the Magicians Association will only
Can do it by myself.
When you want to catch someone in a lost place, your first thought is definitely not to find a police officer. Instead, you use your own strength to break into the enemy's base camp and then pull the person out!
Of course the magicians also want to do this. Since direct provocation in the open is not feasible, then let's do it secretly.
It's just that the magicians didn't understand why the Thieves Guild no longer accepted missions against that person. After they lost hundreds of people who had infiltrated the mansion in just a few days, the magicians finally stopped using their methods under the table.
Even with the help of hundreds of elites, no one could get out of that devil's cave. I heard that the crippled black dragon kept inside had been feasting a lot these days.
That's it, who dares to question it?
So the matter can only be put on the table, and some connections have been found. With huge pressure and the concern that people do not want to break up easily, people have to enter the mansion to confirm that the magician is really not there.
Inside.
In fact, everyone knows it well. Even if the magician is really in that home and wants to hide, who can find him?
He is good at using the flash technique and is known as the magician who is the best at escaping. Such a name does not come from nothing.
At this time, someone suggested that they go directly to the Gate of the Abyss, stop the magician from building the tower, and close the Gate of the Abyss.
The effect of this door on World Tree, and even on Mysterious Land, Lin and other people who knew the inside story did not disclose it to the outside world.
Therefore, most people think that the Gate of the Abyss must be closed. And the way the magician built the tower in front of the Gate of the Abyss also smacks of taking advantage of the devil's self-esteem, so it is particularly offensive.
For some old die-hards at the top of the association, they can't beat the devil. They are good at pointing at a young man's nose and shouting curses.
These people who are accustomed to holding great power gathered their friends and families, creating a huge momentum to denounce a certain magician. They also called on them to be willing to devote themselves to closing the door of the abyss, attracting more people to join.
It's a pity that the Lost Land is not the hometown of a certain time-travelling group. As the demonstrators set out one after another, the first group was directly shot by the robot fleet hovering in the air when they approached the gate of the abyss, leaving no trace behind!
This caused those who were following up to stop and not dare to move forward. Most of the crowd even broke into pieces and dispersed. The robot fleet in the sky was clearly hovering over everyone's heads, bombarding them.
If you don't even have an aim, who can help but be afraid?
The coalition of demons and the evil forces in the underground world did not even survive a round of bombardment by the robot fleet─most people did not know that the robots were attacking the Lord of the Abyss after the first attack──.
They are not worthy of being taken seriously by the robot fleets all over the Lost Continent.
For a time, all kinds of letters were sent to various places like snowflakes. There was also a lot of news about the Gate of the Abyss on the forum, all of which severely condemned the magician.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as there are no substantive actions, these remarks are just used to vent dissatisfaction. They cannot affect the magician who is acting recklessly, and of course they cannot stop the development of the matter.
In a word: the magic tower is finished.
However, there is still a group of people who are in a rather embarrassing position. They are the civilian volunteers who joined the Northern Battlefield, especially the brotherhood members headed by Ezio who came from the holy city of Estali and were educated in elementary schools.
Those old diehards who plan to go to the Gate of the Abyss to protest, although they are not all considered "old" and hold important positions in the Magician Association, they still belong to the civilian class.
There is a clear distinction between civilians and nobles, that is, the former cannot support their family's private army, while the latter can, and it is on a regular basis. Perhaps some wealthy merchants will recruit them in the name of bodyguards, but these people are rarely able to support their families' private armies like the nobles' private armies.
Become a community where everyone is prosperous.
In reality, the gentlemen of the Magicians Association are very dissatisfied with the fact that someone is preparing to build a magic tower with the support of resources from the two empires. But what if they are dissatisfied? They just protest a few words, or at most go into battle in person.
To point at other people's noses and scold them.
But the Gate of the Abyss is protected by a fleet of robots in the sky. If the Magician Association wants to recruit an army to fight, it will firstly take time, and secondly, it will need resources and money.
After all, the Magician Association does not have the size of an empire. It is unrealistic for them to immediately recruit a reorganized army of magicians.
Of course, it is impossible for the empire, the kingdom, and the noble armies to respond to the requirements of the Magician Association. The positions between the two have always been antagonistic, or not so harmonious.
What's more, the two empires of Gwana and Haider support the construction of the magic tower, which is also inconsistent with the interests of the association. Of course, there is no possibility of cooperation.
