As the Blackstone smuggling case came to light, Old Uncle Wang had no choice but to resign, so the position of inspector of the restricted area was temporarily vacant.
Considering the importance of this position, the question of who would succeed him was quickly put on Ixtar's agenda.
At a time when conservatives and radicals are attacking each other and trying to expand their own political influence, in such a critical position, both sides naturally prefer to fall into their own camp.
Therefore, when the King of Elements presided over the imperial meeting and began to discuss who would be the next inspector, both the radicals who were well prepared and the conservatives who were caught off guard gave their answers immediately.
On the radical side, the candidate they proposed was a great elementalist named Kalbugra.
"Mr. Kalbugra is just 45 years old this year. Among all the great elemental envoys, he is considered to be in the prime of life. If he is appointed as the inspector of the restricted area, we will not have to consider the issue of changing the term for at least fifty years."
"That's right, that's right. Mr. Kalbugra is the most reliable person and has a strict family tradition. Things like before will never happen again."
"And his research direction is also in the right direction. He was the one who presided over the last renovation of the Elemental Tower of Ixoken. He must be quite experienced in the work of a restricted area inspector."
"..."
"..."
In front of the Elemental King, the radical elements' great elementalist and high-level elementalist talked to each other and praised Kalbugra inside and out. It seemed that he was the most suitable person to become the elemental inspector. Even
From what they said, even if this incident hadn't happened, Uncle Wang should have given up his position as early as possible.
Although he had rarely participated in political affairs and was accustomed to being a symbol of humanity, the Elemental King still felt quite awkward when faced with such unabashed premeditation by the radicals.
No matter what, that is my Uncle Wang!
The royal family really has no power anymore.
But your attitude...
But it was his daughter Qiyana who discovered this!
The Elemental King, who was not very satisfied with this candidate, quickly set his sights on the other side - where are the conservatives? The conservatives came to the rescue!
Conservatives do intend to come to the rescue.
However, for them, this incident was a bit sudden. No one had thought beforehand that the inspector of the restricted area would fall as soon as he said he would. How easy is it for them to recommend a successor at this time?
To become a restricted area inspector, you must be strong, have an identity, be reliable enough, and you must be one of your own - Ixtar's great elementalist, as long as you can still breathe, it's only a few dozen numbers.
How can it be so simple to find one that perfectly meets your requirements?
Moreover, the conservatives are not monolithic. For restricted area supervision, even if a lifetime job is handed over to someone casually, the internal impact must be considered...
As a result, the conservative side was caught off guard and was unable to come up with a candidate who had internal approval.
Under this situation, even the Elemental King, who was dissatisfied with the radicals, was disappointed with these guys.
Although you claim to be in the name of tradition, your performance is a bit too crotch-stretching, right?
Do you still want me to end up being biased?
Seeing that the situation was not right, the conservatives began to flexibly change their thinking.
Although we can't come up with a good candidate, if we reject your candidate, it should be okay!
After a tacit exchange of ideas, they began to talk about things, making it clear that they wanted to delay time.
"Restricted area supervisors have a heavy responsibility, and they cannot be decided with just a word!"
"Yes, yes, there are many talented people in the kingdom. If we jump to conclusions casually, wouldn't it be easy for problems to arise?"
"This position is not something that just anyone can take on."
"We still need to think about it in the long term."
"..."
"..."
Although the conservatives can't spare the manpower, they can still do it by temporarily delaying time.
Before the radicals were ready to quarrel, a good meeting broke up without any effective results.
……………………
The night after the meeting, Qiyana held a small party.
As a special guest, Kalya was also invited to participate, eating and drinking.
Faced with the invitation, Karya, who came back from the restricted area, readily accepted it.
At this time, Kalya had realized the seriousness of the current problem in Ixtal.
If he approached Qiyana before just hoping to figure out the source of the current concentration of Ixtal elements and see if he could restart the monolithic fortress, then after seeing everything in the restricted area, he had already concluded that now
Ixtal was already sitting on the crater.
Thunderous measures must be taken to prevent Ixtal from going further down this road.
Damn it, you are actually trying to use the power of the void!
With this in mind, Kalya first took Shyvana away from the dragon farm on the pretext of personal matters and told her to go to Icathia. Then she temporarily stayed away from the restricted area and began to collect more information through Qiyana.
Unlike Malzahar, Kalja has no time or need to rebuild a clean identity for himself.
If you want to completely prevent the Ixtal people from abusing the power of the void, you only need to start with the monolith. As one of the main founders of the monolith, this special element has a "backdoor" here in Kalya.
It's just that this backdoor is a little difficult to mobilize.
This is also the main reason why Kalya needs Shyvana to move reinforcements.
In addition to moving reinforcements, Kalya also needs to create a perfect opportunity for himself to act. After all, even if he has a backdoor on the monolith, it will take a lot of time to activate it. See how much the Ixtal people attach importance to the restricted area.
To the extent that if you don’t find a good time, you may not be able to succeed even if someone supports you.
Therefore, Kalya no longer goes to the dragon farm so frequently, but actively attends various salons and parties, and like a foodie, only uses his mouth and ears to collect as much information as possible.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! To be honest, relying on Kalya alone is not very efficient in collecting information - just like when Lux was still a paragon of nobles, in
Xiongdu frequently participates in various noble banquets and can collect a lot of information, but most of it is junk information.
But with support yet to arrive, there was only this much Karya could do.
This time Qiyana took the initiative to organize a small party, and Kalya also participated with the intention of collecting information. On the surface, he still looked like a foodie, ignoring what was happening outside the window and only wanted to eat, but in fact, he
But he always watched Qiyana's movements and tried his best to piece together the other party's movements.
Considering that in the previous salon, Qiyana chose to summon her guests one by one, and comparing her actions this time, Kalya quickly judged the "main guest" of her party.
Some of these main guests Karya knew, some did not, but what is interesting is that several of them were received by Qiyana after she interrogated Tariq last time.
Considering Qiyana's tendencies, maybe there is a closer connection between them?
Then, as Kalya recorded in detail all the people who had individual interactions with Qiyana, he confirmed this judgment - those who were later summoned by Qiyana were as insignificant as Kalja's vest.
Little people.
It seems that those people are the ones Qiyana is fighting for!
After locking the target, the next step is much easier. Although it is not easy to know what Qiyana said to them, it is not difficult to know their identities.
After pretending to be casual and chatting for a while, Kalya easily figured out the identities of these people.
Good guy, a member of the Elemental Council, an elder of Yuntar, a branch member of the royal family... none of these people have a simple identity, they are all important figures in Ixoken!
At this time, Kalja did not fully understand the political situation in Ixtal. Although he vaguely felt some separation between tradition and new trends, Kalja's identity was not enough to know the opposition between conservatives and radicals.
In the absence of specific information, he could only judge that Qiyana might have a deep connection with a certain faction, and that this faction had been actively acting recently.
As for the specific topic of the action... I can't find out yet.
It seems that he doesn't know anything, but for Kalya, this information is enough for him to find a direction of action - because he judges that this faction seems to be interested in places other than Ixtar, and Demacia.
There is hostility, so he can join small groups through this ability.
At this point, Kalya finally found the next direction of action.
Before reinforcements arrive, all he has to do is climb as high as possible within this faction. The higher he climbs, the more useful information he can collect!
Speaking of which, Kalya's plan is somewhat similar to Malzahar's.
Malzahar took the traditional route, creating a blank identity in a down-to-earth manner, and then took the route of the Great Elementalist to accumulate his own power.
Kalya, on the other hand, is opportunistic and uses factions within the political situation to rise to the top. Although he has no foundation and it is difficult to grasp power, what he needs is not power, but enough information!
In this way, the two "prophets" came one behind the other, quietly wedged into the political situation of Ixtal.
……………………
Naturally, Qiyana didn't know what Karya was thinking.
The problem she has to face now is to discuss with the major elements of the radical faction a way to deal with the conservative delay, and to make a plan for the other party's possible subsequent reaction.
These two things are not difficult.
"The position of the restricted area inspector cannot remain undecided for too long." Kalbugra, who was recommended as a candidate, seemed to be full of confidence in his position. "Although there are many great elemental envoys in the kingdom, those who meet the requirements are actually
There are only a few, and most of them have very important tasks, and those old antiques can't find anyone to compete with me."
"That's right." Saiti, the current chairman of the Council of Elements, is also very sure of Kalbugra's confidence. "Those old antiques don't have reliable manpower. They have quite a few people, but most of them are crooked."
Melon Split Dates, when it comes to great elementalists, we have more of them here."
"I think so too." Qiyana was very sure of this judgment, "However, we must be careful about the other party using our methods on us."
"I'm not that old fool who spoils children." Understanding what Qiyana meant, Kalbugra couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "And with my status, I don't need those dirty tricks.
"
At this point, Kalbugra is qualified to be confident - the Soto family he comes from is a wealthy businessman in Ixtar.
Although in the process of becoming the Great Elementalist, the Soto family poured resources into Kalbugra, they knew that Kalbugra was a critical period for the family to transfer from wealth to power. At this time, the Kalbugra family
From top to bottom, everyone was strictly ordered not to hold back.
Therefore, Kalbugra is completely confident in this aspect.
It is impossible for our family to expose such flaws!
Unfortunately, this confidence only lasted for one day.
The next day, when the imperial meeting was held again and many great elemental envoys gathered together to discuss the candidates for the restricted area inspectors, the Soto family's dirty information was quickly dug out.
Those are some penalty decisions regarding smuggling.
Although Kalbugra was very confident, he still underestimated the greed of human nature. Even if the Soto family is the richest, there are still many poor people in the side branches. As long as he carefully collects evidence, Kalbugra will not.
What a great idea.
While bringing out the dirty information about the Soto family, the conservative side also introduced a surprising candidate—the third princess of the kingdom.
Although the third princess is not a great elementalist, as the most talented princess among the royal family, second only to Qiyana, she is at least a high-level elementalist, and there is still room for improvement in the future.
Since everyone is digging up dirt on each other, then such key positions must be given to members of the royal family!
Isn’t the Third Princess a perfect choice?
You know, among the ten princesses in Ixtal, the eldest princess has become disabled because of a duel. The second princess is likely to become the next queen of elements. In this case, the third princess will be
Apart from the Queen, the next generation of the royal family is the eldest and has the ability to work.
She serves as the inspector of the restricted area, which is perfectly in line with tradition.
The radicals definitely couldn't accept this proposal - seeing that Kalbugra seemed to be having difficulty, they decisively chose to push Qiyana to power.
After all...Qiyana is a genuine great elementalist!
Although she is still far behind the third princess in terms of status, she is obviously more suitable for the position of inspector of the restricted area!
In this way, after each elected one person, the conservatives and radicals once again quarreled.
