When he gets the news that someone is escaping at night, it is not surprising that Shurion will be furious. But chasing down a magician, even if that person is not known for his fighting prowess, cannot be achieved by just sending out some cats and dogs.
At least his own subordinates don't have the strength to kill a magician reliably; they might be able to succeed if they try hard, but there will definitely be losses.
And more than half a day has passed, and all I know is that the other party left along the road leading to Chengguo Eton College. There was also a small team of people who started tracking it at the first time. So what I can do is to try to gather enough forces to spread the enemy.
Send out a large force of troops to chase down the opponent. Only in this way will it be safer and more certain.
So he habitually came to the central tower of Wulian City. Orders were issued one after another, and the forces belonging to the former president Chengguo Eaton also started to move. However, the noble thought that everything was under control, but he did not
Seeing the perfunctory attitude of those who received the order. The old man is dead, and he has no biological son. It is hard to say whether the person who sent the letter is worthy of loyalty.
Although the person he wanted to contact was only half-notified, he glanced at the academy's commemorative pocket watch and realized that the time for the important meeting was approaching. Shurion did not bother to continue writing. He hurriedly told the young magician who had come to seek refuge.
Compile a list of people who can be attracted, people who are already under control, and some restless people who need attention.
He himself rushed to the conference room with a group of young magicians centered on him. Since pocket watches and the concept of time entered people's field of vision, ordinary people don't care much about it, but for big shots who are busy with everything,
This can avoid unnecessary waiting caused by poor coordination.
In the past, if everyone was called for a meeting, it was normal for them to go to the meeting place and wait first, in addition to sending out a messenger. If you had a higher status than everyone else, then it would be okay to go later; if not, it would be rude to arrive late.
It is also normal for participants to leave the meeting directly due to the reason.
Similarly, people who are invited to participate will generally get a list of attendees from the messenger. If you belong to a lower group on the list, you have to be conscious and arrive early to avoid letting others
Etc. If you have a higher status, it is normal for you to wait until you have finished your work before attending the meeting.
So in the past, the most time-consuming part of a meeting was waiting for everyone to arrive...
The mages who are lost in the land do not have the luxury of the nobles, and very simple things have to be complicated. It is a waste to say more about things that can be solved in a few words. There is already a lot of time spent waiting, and there is still time.
If you are going to listen to a bunch of bullshit, someone with a bad temper will definitely use magic to fool you in the face.
The advent of pocket watches and time divisions detailed to the second is really a great boon to these people. After agreeing on a time, regardless of status, almost everyone is accustomed to attending meetings according to the timeline. Even if there are other important matters that they want to communicate before the meeting
People will also use forums or emails to agree to meet somewhere in advance to discuss.
And this approach also gives some interested people an opportunity to take advantage of it. What Shurion is rushing to now is actually the most influential fourteen-member council of the Xijia District Council. Before Chengguo Eaton passed away, he used to
The main purpose of participating as an agent is to convey the wishes of your teacher, the president.
And this time it was the first fourteen-person meeting after the president's throne became vacant. Although no one informed him, he still knew the time for the meeting. As for the location, it was all in the small conference room in the middle tower.
This is the unchanged location of the Council of Fourteen.
Because he entered the conference room according to the timeline, Shurion opened the door and saw that except for the teacher who was no longer there, the other thirteen members were already sitting in their respective seats. In the attention of everyone, he was familiar with the door.
He sat familiarly on the chair that originally belonged to his teacher and that he had sat on several times during his tenure as an agent.
To be able to become a member of the Xijia District branch with tens of thousands of members, including tens of thousands of apprentices, and only fourteen members of the highest authority, who is not a veteran? To this uninvited guest, sit down alone
When he got to the president's throne, everyone remained calm, just to see what this little guy wanted to do.
Because it wasn’t time for the meeting yet, even if everyone was present—not counting the dead president’s deputy among them—no one talked about serious matters, they just chatted casually.
Just testing each other out. Just like waiting before a meeting in the past, all the people who arrived early were doing this. Maybe there was an ulterior motive, but it was mostly to kill time.
However, as soon as Shurion entered the door, everyone became quiet and stared at the young man.
Thinking that he had the situation under control, Shurion looked proud. He followed his teacher's past actions, knocked on the table and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting."
"Before that." The speaker was the Master of the Sita Tower, a great magician who had always been at odds with the president. In fact, before Chengguo Eaton succeeded as president, Woody Kammer was a strong competitor for the position of president.
Or. And that competitive relationship has continued. Although he will not always oppose everything, he always uses very strict standards to review every decision of the former president.
Now, the enemy's disciple is sitting in a position that does not belong to him. Woody Kammer questioned: "First of all, what qualifications do you have to attend this meeting, and what qualifications do you have to sit in that chair?"
.”
"Because,──" Shurion snapped his fingers, and the young magicians who followed him filed into the conference room. Some were guarding the door, some were standing at the four corners, but more of them were standing behind him.
, giving people an invisible sense of oppression. "─I took over everything my teacher left. This is my qualification to attend. And things should be handed over to young people, not to a group of old people.
It will be occupied forever. In this case, you still have questions."
Thirteen veteran magicians, and even several great magicians among them, were all silent. Their expressions did not change much, just like the polite expressions they had when chatting with Sulion before he entered. For this young man
They just regarded it as watching a farce.
However, the performance of this group of old people gave the young people a misunderstanding. Especially Shurion, he was even more satisfied with the performance of everyone. He said: "First of all, the first thing we have to do is to send people to hunt down the defectors.
The magician, Gabrash Tripwood, the great magician Greenwyn, I hope you will lead the team to carry out this mission."
How could Shurion not know certain interpersonal relationships that should be paid attention to when staying by his teacher's side? If he wanted to deal with the magician who offended him, he couldn't avoid the great magician Greenwin, who was the senior inspector in front of him.
In the past. But asking the other party directly was too inferior. Taking advantage of the damn guy's opportunity to escape, use this method to force the great magician to express his position. As long as the other party understands...
"I refuse." Great Magician Greenwen answered without hesitation. He even lowered his expression and looked back at the person sitting at the president's table coldly and said: "You are not qualified to order me to do anything. And a magician
What is the reason behind your departure? Naturally, there will be inspectors to investigate. It’s either what you say or something else. Since those inspectors behind you are just lackeys, just send them there. I don’t want to carry out this kind of death.
mission.”
The young magicians were all filled with righteous indignation at these merciless words. Especially some of the new inspector recruits who had been ridiculed and had just put on the yellow cloak and wanted to make some achievements, were even more angry at the old man's words.
The dignity of the cloak cannot be offended. He put his hands together, chanted a spell, and instantly all the auxiliary magic for combat was applied to his body.
This was like a fuse, triggering a chain reaction. First, the great magician Greenwen took out the means to save his life and fight, and the colorful magic aura on his body lit up instantly.
In order to be more confident in suppressing the exploding old guy, the young magicians also activated the functions of their combat props and quickly added several auxiliary spells to themselves.
However, the old men sitting firmly in their positions are not a fuel-efficient lamp. In order to avoid being affected, or to be wary of the young people turning the spear and attacking Greenwyn, they also take care of themselves who were unprepared, so they simply showed
The battle situation. The magic items used to save life are activated, and a series of auxiliary magics are added in a short period of time to coordinate with one's own tactics.
It can be said that although the young magicians have a numerical advantage, the veteran magicians have more means and more hidden cards. If there is a conflict between the two sides, the side with more people will not be sure to win.
It is also this change that makes the momentum of the whole situation tilt towards this group of old men who are not looked down upon. The young people are not so confident.
Only then did Shurion realize that these people were not fat-headed aristocratic old men. Without the protection of his subordinates, when their noble bloodline failed to work, they would become weaklings who could be exploited by others.
There is no old man who can enter the Council of Fourteen who did not crawl out from countless corpses. The person who made their reputation, whether it is a person or a monster, as long as he did not kill it with his own hands, will not be counted at all.
Among those numbers.
An ordinary old magician with a low reputation might brag about his achievements. But whoever is able to attend the council has not been tested, and his strength and achievements are impeccable. Power and other things are just
Attached.
To put it simply, the aristocrat's method of playing is not suitable for magicians. Just because there are so many people, it may not be enough for this group of old magicians.
Realizing the mistake he had made, Shurion's thoughts changed. As if to relieve the tense atmosphere, he changed the subject and asked: "Great Magician Greenwen, what do you mean by the mission of sending someone to death? That's what I think.
You know, that lich didn’t leave with the traitor. You didn’t include the woman who is known as the Demon King, did you?”
"Hmph, you are either a traitor or not. Use those two words less. And the so-called death is because I don't want to touch that person when the arcane eyes are opened in the Tower of the Great Sage."
