The sudden suspension of the game was beyond everyone's expectations, and it also pushed a professional game that was not so attention-grabbing to the forefront. In the community of Kaolin-Ithulian
, almost everyone is discussing this incident that happened in the empire, speculating on how the conflict will affect the final outcome.
Transcontinental communications doubled in just a few days. The Corin-Ithurian Artisan Guild, the Kapka branch and the Elfendor Council alone sent messages to the empire three times a day.
, consult on the progress of the event.
Fortunately for outsiders, the alchemists in the association clearly felt that the Craftsmen Association was taking action. The great craftsmen in several places exchanged letters with each other, and more and more Ayinbrok was mentioned in magic transmissions. Then Elfin first
The former Speaker of the Multi-Parliament, Andre Uriel, directly launched an attack on the association's internal professional journal, angrily blaming the Imperial Alchemy Community for its difficulty in maintaining the necessary fairness of the Continental League.
The former is a highly respected figure in the alchemist community of South Kaolin. He not only enjoys a high reputation in the Elfendor Council, but also has a long-standing reputation in the entire Aitaria and internationally. It can be said that he has friends all over the world. His statement is among the alchemists.
It has caused widespread discussion in the world, and even within the empire, there are many voices questioning Ayinbrok's handling of the matter.
As for Tree Hill and Lotao, they have long been dissatisfied with the Empire's control over the guidance of the Craftsmen Association. In Sanshak and the Temple of the Stars, more than a dozen master craftsmen jointly supported Kaolin in the "Alchemist Weekly"
People, and even a long-retired great alchemist made veiled criticisms of the Imperials.
For a time, the people of the empire were extremely passive. Until the central government was alerted, His Majesty the Emperor directly asked about the matter during the court meeting.
When things have developed to this point, they are no longer limited to Ayin Block. However, the pressure from above has also been directly transmitted to every department involved in this incident. The Ayin Block Patrol Guard headquarters is brightly lit, and the staff are spinning around.
Trying to 'investigate' to find out the truth.
But let’s not care about the truth.
The Mobius Craftsmen Guild knows the mastermind behind the scenes and has no intention of taking the blame.
The Federation of Craftsmen directly wrote an article and also published it in "Alchemist Weekly", publicly accusing the Wizards of intervening in the Continental League, and at the same time stated that it was also actively investigating the matter.
The article was signed "Friston J. Helleye". Anyone who is familiar with this pen name knows that this was the article written by Friston J. Helleye, the president of the Federation of Craftsmen. Public opinion was in an uproar. This article was tantamount to publicly exposing the empire.
The conflict between alchemists and magicians is on the table.
Of course, the magicians here mainly refer to the magician families in the empire. After all, except for the astrologers in the Tower of Stars and Moon, the magicians do not have their own unified organization. Each school is based on the basic theory of ether.
Cognitions are different, and the differences between them even outweigh the differences between different professions.
The feud between the empire's mage families and the craftsmen's guild has a long history and is well known to everyone. To put it bluntly, it is caused by the uneven distribution of benefits in the reform of alchemy.
The craftsmen always hold the national policy of alchemy reform since the previous emperor, and on the one hand, the magician family, which is recovering from its ancient honors, of course also wants a share of the pie. There was a honeymoon between the two.
During this period, we share technology with each other and jointly promote the advancement of magic skills.
But since the dispute between the old and new constructs led by the Empire more than ten years ago, the two have parted ways, each embarking on a different path. In the end, the new generation construct design led by the Imperial Workshop won the approval of the current Emperor.
Favored, and later became the standard for the next generation combat structure of the Imperial Army's procurement plan.
Since then, he has won the greatest victory in the alchemical revolution.
This plan is so well-known to outsiders. Fang Yu also heard about this revolution in Kaolin-Ishulian, and its leaked version is the K-series configuration he has seen before - the Knight-type Annihilator.
With the choke monster, and the central nervous system magic furnace.
Because the interests involved were too great, it directly led to the feud between the Magician Family and the Craftsmen Association, and they attacked each other until today.
However, the struggle between the two is usually subtle and subtle. It is rarely as open and direct as it is now. They accuse each other in newspapers and shirk responsibility. The publication volume of major newspapers and periodicals in the empire triples a day, and relevant practitioners are happy.
Flowers.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The direct result was that from the next day onwards, the number of reporters gathered at the gate of the patrol guard headquarters doubled again.
But one can imagine why the Mobius Craftsmen Association reacted this way - because the cunning owl of the empire had crossed the line. The president, Friston J. Herreyer, was certainly warning his opponents.
As a professional competition with craftsmanship, the Continental League does not attract much attention from the outside world, but it is very valuable in the alchemist circle and can be said to have a long-standing reputation. The Imperial Craftsmen Association regards it as a way and means to prove its authority.
Once every five years. The apparent indifference is just a reflection of the arrogance among alchemists.
Because of this, how can they tolerate outsiders talking about such an event?
The other party's choice to cause trouble at such a time of year has obviously touched the most sensitive nerve of the empire's alchemists.
But the reaction of the cunning lord of the empire was not ambiguous at all.
Just when everyone thought that the other party would restrain its claws, the Hawke family directly initiated a court meeting at the Empire Center, stating that they would openly discuss the matter of Ayin Block.
For a time, the whole world was shocked.
Under the shadow of the 'Owl Eagle' Duke, the faction of the Cunning Owl family has grown in the imperial political arena in recent years, with many followers. But this does not mean anything. What is even more shocking is that in addition to the traditional allies of the Hawke family
, the Eisengreen Family of the Golden Goat, the Griffin Family of the Griffon Feather, and the Terry Funk Family of the Changing Badger also joined the joint name.
These old enemies of the Hawk family, this time they also showed their horses and stood on the cunning owl's chariot. So this time the empire's magician family openly broke with the alchemists of the Craftsmen Association.
Major newspapers and periodicals were silent for a while.
After all, there is a difference between watching the excitement and being involved in a whirlpool. A fight between two behemoths may not hurt you, but if you are not careful, it will shatter the bones of others. No one wants to get burned.
But the silence of the empire's public opinion circles is in contrast to the lively situation in the community. The fight on the side of Aitaria can hardly affect the real bystanders on the other side of the Star Gate. Forums, especially those in the third division, are more
It's a noisy ocean.
Many people said that they had never eaten such a big melon in their lives.
A small continental league has stirred up the internal struggle of the empire. He is obviously just an outsider, but he has become the center and fuse of this dispute. The person who is at the center of the whirlpool, for Kaolin-Yi
It is already famous among the Xiurians.
From Fenris to the South, from Istania to Elpahim, everyone knows its infamy. The scourge from Fenris, the instigator of the Northern War, once again shows its power in the empire.
"The disaster star from the third division will take down the empire——"
"Fortunately, he has gone to the Empire. I am very happy."
"Our unlucky King does some good things occasionally."
The Chosen seem to lack basic respect for the Supreme Being of Corin-Ithurion.
But when things have developed to this point, everyone can see that the two sides can no longer stand down, and a real confrontation with real swords and guns is inevitable. As for the name of Dragon Alchemist, it has already been removed from the circle following this incident.
The fire has reached outside the circle.
Regardless of Kaolin-Ithulian, it can be said that everyone in the Third Division community knows this name. Perhaps one day if Fang Plover goes silent, no one will discuss the name Dragon Alchemist anymore.
, but at this moment, its unprecedented grandeur is no less than the era when the lone star, the late executioner 'Loofah' rose.
"But Loofah only became famous after the Continental League and went to the Second World." Odin looked at the comments in the community and jokingly said to Chen Xi beside him, "This kid is really unprecedented."
Although the two are sworn enemies in the guild, they have a pretty good personal relationship, and they have both met Fang Plover, so they have a lot in common on this matter.
"Don't forget the July War," Chen Xi shook his head. "When I returned to the Second World a while ago, KUN asked me about it and said that he seemed to have met Ed. I checked the small team he worked for.
, if nothing else, the Sea Witch should have seen him at that time."
"Weird."
Odin listened silently for a long time and came to this conclusion.
There were very few rumors about the July War outside, but they couldn't be hidden from insiders like them, not to mention that the former alliance was one of the participants. The Sea Witch turned that war upside down, and finally played tricks on both sides.
Taken away the Hailin Crown.
So far, the two major alliances are still searching for each other's whereabouts in the second world.
Therefore, it can be said that the war ended hastily. Although it was not caused by Fang Plover, it is difficult to say that it had nothing to do with it.
Even Odin couldn't help but wonder, does this kid have any special talent that can muddy the water and make things a mess?
But Chen Xi’s mind was obviously not in front of him. He said this matter not just to discuss Fang Plover. “Five of the seven obelisks have been found...but the one in Fenris has sunk into the ground forever.
No one knows. He is the only person who has been close to the obelisk, but the time was too short, and he probably did not get any useful information from it..."
"The Twelve Stars Shine, and we have identified seven places where the stars shine. The Empire's progress may be faster than ours, but it is also limited. The Empire's people have been to Istania, and they should have found the lost star more than ten years ago.
those stone slabs, and from them the position of the final obelisk was determined."
"But they don't know the whole story of what happened in Fenris. We have strictly kept this matter secret. Except for the military, that is, me, you, Ming and Virus, only a few people know the truth. The possibility of the military leaking the news
Almost zero, I, you and Ming will naturally not disclose it to the outside world. As for Virus..."
He pondered for a moment.
"I can't say Elite. I'm not familiar with this guild, but she doesn't seem like someone who would speak to outsiders easily. So it's conceivable that the Imperial people are still trying to get information from the Seven Saints inscription.
."
"But our two major alliances have actually given up the search for the Seven Holy Monuments, and instead focused on the Twelve Stars Shining Place, and the collection of the four holy relics. The descendant of Flor has had a good relationship with Ed recently.
Quite a few, and for this reason, they hope to learn the whereabouts of the Sea Witch from each other."
He shook his head, "But I'm not optimistic about it. Let's not mention that the Sea Witch and Ed only have a one-time relationship, not to mention his character, even if he knew, he wouldn't tell you."
Odin put his hands behind his head and replied nonchalantly, "That's the club's business. The decision has been made above, and we just have to implement it. To outsiders, the top leaders of the guild are you and me, but in fact we can only
We are only responsible for the details of the guild's operation. The general direction is set by the club. Can we change anything?"
At this point, he remained silent.
If anything could really be changed, the Covenant Mountain incident would never have happened.
But Chen Xi was obviously not concerned about this issue. He turned back to look at his friend and asked: "The Eternal Heart of the Giant Tree Hill is missing again. Did you know?"
Odin was slightly startled. Looking in this direction, he obviously knew about this matter, but he didn't expect the news to have spread. "You know?"
Chen Xi nodded.
"The news has spread," the latter replied, "but what's interesting is that I don't know who spread the news. I also checked the source of the news, but I can't find the source. It's like..."
Odin's eyes flashed, "It's like someone is deliberately spreading this news."
Chen Xi nodded again: "It's exactly like the timing when that rumor appeared."
The two looked at each other, with an inexplicable light flashing in their eyes.
Under the seven obelisks, buried are the secrets of Numerin, the Holy Grail of the Elves, the place where the twelve stars shine, eternal life, and endless wisdom.
…
The community in the third division was abuzz with discussions about the events that happened in the empire, but the discussion on the matter within the Oshu people was relatively silent at the moment, and all the major newspapers were silent. The empire's magic family and the alchemists took sides with each other, or they were divided.
There is an outcome, just like it was more than ten years ago——
Or wait for His Majesty the Emperor to intervene.
But the Supreme One would never speak easily. Everyone was afraid of getting burned, so public opinion suddenly fell silent.
The Kaulin-Ithurian Craftsmen Association also noticed the change in the atmosphere. The president of the association, Fales Copper Bay, directly named a group of people to form an envoy to the empire. Ostensibly, they represented Kaulin-Ithurian.
The craftsmen's association protested, and anyone with a discerning eye could actually see that it was putting pressure on the empire.
But of course the party under pressure will not be the alchemists of the empire, but the Sorcerer Family who are currently leading this incident - putting pressure on the headquarters of the Ayinbrok Patrol Guards.
Falaise was obviously very dissatisfied with the Imperial people dragging the matter out without limit, and asked the other party to come up with a conclusion as soon as possible.
The alchemists of the empire were delighted to hear this.
So in silence, this confrontation seemed to have come to an end, and it would finally usher in a decisive battle.
But within the circle of Corian-Ithurian alchemists.
More people were surprised, and many people were speculating on the origins of the Dragon Alchemist. In the opinion of most people, the Empire themselves made a mess first, and there was no need for the Corin-Ithurian Craftsmen Association to do so.
Aggressive.
The Continental League was suspended when it was suspended. Anyway, it was the Imperial people who lost face. But Falaise-Copper Bay issued a death order to save the Corin-Ithurian delegation. This was exactly what the delegation wanted to do.
And everyone actually knows who the person they really want to protect is.
Among the senior officials of the Craftsmen Association, there are only a few people who truly understand the reasons.
Of course Ander Uriel of the Elfendor Council knew that the bad-tempered Copper Bay family didn't care about his cheap student at all. All he cared about was the matter at the Silver Tower.
Unfortunately, the former didn't know exactly what happened in the Silver Tower back then. He only vaguely learned that on the day the envoy left, that guy from Falaise sent a letter to the empire.
But he didn't know anyone in the empire.
Then you can imagine who the recipient of the letter is.
In fact, just as Andre Uriel thought, at the headquarters of the Mobius Craftsmen Association, the recipient was unfolding the letter, pushing up his monocle, and smiled while reading the letter, "Copper Bay
The family members are getting even worse. He actually dared to threaten me in the letter——"
He flicked the letter paper and shook his head, "Milleuthymis is not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? With such an impatient personality, it's no wonder that the people of the Tongwan family are getting worse from generation to generation, but it is interesting to get the permission of that dragon.
The little guy.”
He put the letter back on the table and pondered for a moment.
Then he picked up the pen, dipped it in fluorescent ink, unfolded a piece of letter paper and started writing on it.
In fact, the Cunning Owl family does intend to suppress public opinion within the empire. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see what the outcome of the investigation of this matter will be.
The empire is very hierarchical, so it doesn't take the Stargate Declaration seriously. The selectors in the first division think very highly of themselves, and the alliance itself is too deeply involved in the empire's politics, so it can hardly be said that it complies with all aspects of the Stargate Declaration.
Therefore, the fact that the Seven Seas Brigade complained to others is likely to be true in the eyes of others. If the empire investigates on its own, the result will naturally be any good, but a mere Ayin Block patrolling the guard headquarters will not dare to visit Minghe.
Virus was playing tricks right under their noses.
Therefore, the only thing the Hawk family can rely on is the fact that the Cowlin-Ithurian delegation is short of manpower.
And through their relationship with the Death Come Guild, they can infinitely expand the scope of their investigation to the Hart Principality. Even more than ten years ago, once things get complicated, there will be more places where they can intervene.
But in order to do this, the Mage Family first needs to avoid the alchemists of the Mobius Craftsmen Association.
Therefore, Duke Hawke did not focus on the conflict with Ayinbrok from the beginning, but directly launched an initiative to re-investigate the old affairs of the Lynn family twenty years ago.
If they can prove that Ash Lynn's manuscript is the key evidence of the scam twenty years ago, then it can explain the fact that Lila was asked to 'assist in the investigation', if the patrolling guard's procedures are legal.
of.
Then the statement of the Kaulin-Ithurians is not so tenable, or at least it can be explained as a misunderstanding.
As for investigating the old affairs of Lin En's family twenty years ago, there is no need to actually launch an investigation. After all, the empire has already made a conclusion about what happened back then. What is needed now is just to draw further conclusions based on this conclusion.
Even the Craftsmen's Association of Mobius cannot overturn the old case from twenty years ago. In this way, the cunning lord of the empire can naturally achieve his own goals.
"...If the situation develops as expected, it may be somewhat disadvantageous for us." Ming frowned and looked at the information brought by Virus and Bi Fang, obviously feeling a little troublesome, "President Falais sent
When the envoys came over, they were also aware of this problem. On the one hand, they urged the other party to seize the time, and on the other hand, they also solved the problem of our shortage of manpower——"
But Bai Xue was not very optimistic about this and shook his head.
"But we are in the empire. No matter how many people we send, it will not help."
She analyzed carefully, "The only thing we can rely on, besides Sister Ming and Ms. Virus, is that the Craftsmen Association will be on our side. But I didn't expect that the empire's magician family would be so deeply involved in it, and would even hesitate to fight against it.
The Imperial Craftsmen Association has openly broken up. If they really want to use the old case from twenty years ago to overturn the verdict, there is no way we can continue to fight with them here indefinitely."
"...What's more, the Imperial people may not be able to understand all aspects of the old case twenty years ago, so how can we possibly be able to distinguish it clearly?"
Ming Ye frowned tightly. She wouldn't mind if she wanted to fight with the dragon knights of the empire. But if she wanted to go deep into the internal affairs of the empire, how could she, a selector, know so clearly?
The two couldn't help but look at Fang Plover, "So what magic power does Ash-Lynn's manuscript have that allows the Duke to do this?"
Fang Plover touched his nose. He really didn't know this, and he had never seen the manuscript.
Ming was furious when she saw him like this, and gave him a shudder angrily, "I don't know anything, but you dare to shoulder the responsibility. I really don't know how to say good things to you."
"But they attack ordinary people, we can't turn a blind eye," Fang Yu said aggrievedly, holding his head, "And Sister Ming, please stop talking. I am the leader of the Seven Seas Brigade. It's embarrassing to be seen by outsiders. Besides,
This is already the best way, there is no way I can spend time in the Hart Principality infinitely and those people who have died."
"So now you're going to let us and the Imperial people spend endless time?"
However, after Ming finished speaking, she looked at Bai Xue and did not continue on this topic.
Although influenced by the Super Competitive Alliance, the guilds in the third division no longer value the terms and conditions in the Stargate Declaration as much as before. The two major alliances were established on this basis.
But they have more or less experienced the end of that glorious era, or have seen it with their own eyes, or heard about it.
It is difficult for the two of them to say that Fang Pliance's behavior is wrong. The Death Come Guild committed banditry, but it cannot be said that supporting such banditry is correct.
The two of them were looking at each other in silence.
Fang Yu had nothing to worry about in his heart.
Since he dared to do this, he naturally had something to rely on. The support of the Corin-Ithurian delegation was unexpected for him. But in fact, even without the support of Ming and Virus, he still had the ability to kill.
Haven't used it yet.
He was just waiting for that time to come.
But just when the entire atmosphere fell into silence, Virus walked in from outside. He glanced at a few people silently before speaking in this direction:
"Ed, someone wants to see you."
"I?"
Fang Plover was slightly startled.
Who will come to see him at this time? Almost everyone he knows in the empire is already here.
