Everyone looked at each other for a while, and the man in black robe who had spoken before couldn't help but speak again.
"Otherwise? They haven't even picked up the things left over from the ancient magic empire. How could they still have the time to study a brand new system?"
In the crystal ball, the person known as Gray Mist spoke calmly, and his tone actually seemed to have some contempt for the Continental Magic Council, which is known as the pinnacle of magic.
"That is the remains of a giant metal city. It is also the royal capital of the ancient goblin civilization that has been completely destroyed in legend, the constructed city - [Tarkesia]."
"The Magic Council obtained something similar to a central tower spirit in the central palace of that city, which stores countless structural drawings and information.
It is precisely because of this that they were able to suddenly promote a series of construction products to the entire continent almost overnight."
"Using the structure as a guide, we will gradually change the pattern of the entire continent of Yal, and then control the general trend of destiny. The person sitting on the astrological tower of the floating city is probably using this to try to step into the legend of advancement.
step!"
"..."
Suddenly hearing such secret news, everyone was shocked and felt dizzy, not knowing what to say.
Not surprised by everyone's reaction, the crystal ball flickered slightly and the figure spoke again.
"According to the feedback from the stars, the development of the Web of Destiny is about to usher in a second turning point. The first time, the biggest change was in the Ittel Kingdom Federation. But this time, the main changes will appear in the Gloria Empire -
—”
"The time has come. Has the emergence of the construct caused two voices to appear in the upper echelons of the empire? One advocates acceptance, and the other advocates rejection."
Hearing this, the four people on the right side of the long table suddenly became a little commotion.
"You mean, next, the Gloria Empire will also be affected by the construct like the Federation?"
After a while of silence, the third person sitting on the right side of the long table spoke.
"But out of compromise with those conservatives, the reformists only strived to open up the civilian magical constructs. Combat-type constructs that allow professionals to transcend ranks and exert their power are still strictly controlled in the empire."
"Not to mention those ordinary chambers of commerce, even nobles below the Marquis level must strictly report to the royal family if they possess combat-type structures, and they must be regularly tested by prophecy casters to ensure that there are no false reports of quantities.
If you hoard privately, it is a serious crime and will be punished as treason."
"But now, the mainstream of the empire's upper echelons is still conservative. The reformists can reach this point, which is already the limit.
In the next hundred years, the situation of controlled constructs will probably not change, let alone have any major impact on the situation."
After listening to this gentleman's speech, the figure in the crystal ball nodded.
"You are right, but this will be the trigger for the second change - the upper echelons of the Gloria Empire have been in a backwater for too long.
Not to mention the four eternal Grand Dukes, during the thousands of years since the empire was founded, there have been only two new Marquises. This was due to the death of one Marquis and the vacant position.
Besides, maybe it’s for this reason that you are sitting here now, right?”
Everyone on the right side of the long table looked at each other quickly and nodded slightly.
"Your Excellency Gray Fog, please forgive me for being rude, but what benefits can we get if we cooperate with you?"
At the head of the right side of the long table, a man in black robe wearing a dark gold lion face mask slowly spoke.
"Benefits? Ho ho ho ho..."
A hoarse chuckle came from the crystal ball.
"First of all, if you choose to help us, you are also helping yourselves. After more than two thousand years of development, the game table of the Gloria Empire is now full of people.
If you still want to participate in this game called power, then you must find a way to get the first player to leave and make your seat at the table free."
"In the past, you had to worry about the prophets of the royal family and high-ranking nobles, worry about the ninth-level extreme power, and worry about not having enough troops.
Now, we will provide you with the support of high-level prophets and ninth-level extreme experts, so that you can gain equal countervailing power in this regard.
As for the strength of the troops, I think there is no force more powerful than the Constructed Legion among the regular legions.
And when those nobles at the top fall into the quagmire of war, I don’t need to say much about what you are going to do.”
"Besides, when the mission is completed, our people will leave. And the remaining territory, minerals, and population are all yours!
The empire is your empire after all, isn’t it?”
At the end, the figure in the crystal ball deliberately emphasized the word 'yours'.
As his words fell, the room fell into brief silence again.
After a moment, the man wearing a dark gold lion-faced mask at the head of the right side of the long table spoke again.
"So, how do we cooperate?"
The crystal ball flickered slightly, and the blurred figure spoke plainly.
"Don't worry. When you return to the empire, there will be a dedicated person to communicate with you. He will tell you the next steps."
As he said that, the figure in the crystal ball turned his eyes and faced the three men in black robes sitting on the left side of the long table.
"Then, here are the three Your Excellencies from the Federation. I think you all know what has happened in the Laika Kingdom recently, right?"
"Are you behind the Sixth Prince?"
The man in black robes at the front on the left suddenly spoke in surprise.
Facing everyone's inquiries, the figure just smiled, neither admitting nor denying.
"It doesn't matter who is behind the Sixth Prince of Laika. What matters is the power he showed in constructing the legion during the war."
"Do you guys want to..."
"Boom--!"
Before Crystal Ball finished speaking, the ground above his head suddenly erupted with a huge tremor.
The next moment, the thick ground tore open a huge irregular crack like a piece of paper, and a ray of white sunlight projected through the gap, illuminating the people who were caught off guard.
Because the integrity of the secret room was destroyed, the faint gray mist billowing on the wall immediately dissipated.
Snapped--
Realizing that something was wrong, the crystal ball on the main seat of the long table exploded. At the same time, gray magic flames ignited on all the fragments, quickly decomposing themselves into breathless powder.
But before these fragments were completely destroyed, a figure with a silver tower-shaped emblem on his shoulders condensed out and immobilized the remaining fragments together with the gray fire.
"!"
In an instant, the seven men in black robes in the room reacted, and simultaneously struck the strongest blow at the figure, and each used space magic to prepare to escape.
But all the spatial fluctuations only occurred for a moment, and then calmed down again.
Centered on Villa No. 26, a temporary ultra-high-intensity blockade has been set up within a radius of ten miles.
