"Dear leader, I have finished what I want to say."
Looking at everyone who fell into silence due to his words, Zero finally bowed to the leader of the long table and then returned to his seat.
After getting along for a period of time, he basically understood the leader's intentions towards him.
Used to say things that offend people, and things that no one wants to say - like now.
Others are afraid of being isolated and being tricked, but he is not afraid.
The most important thing is that he is weak enough. So weak that he cannot make waves, and so weak that he can be crushed to death with one finger.
Therefore, the leader has a very high tolerance for his actions. As long as he does not do anything outrageous and goes against the leader, his seat here will be extremely stable.
"So, what do you think of Zero's opinion?"
With a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, the leader spoke again, breaking the silence in the hall.
"Who should we arrange to contact several marquises in the empire and convince them to join forces?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally, [Xing], who was at the top on the right, spoke softly.
"As for Marquis Draka...my people are already in contact with him. If we need to join forces, he will agree."
At this time, Hui Wu spoke calmly and took one of them.
"As for Marquis de Winter, I have some personal friendship with him, so I can try to persuade him."
The second person on the right side of the long table, Word of the Dead, took over in a hoarse tone.
After he finished speaking, the task of wooing the third and fourth marquis was taken over one after another.
But after that, the room fell into a long silence, and everyone's eyes were looking in Zero's direction.
This is not only due to the difficulty of the task, but also because of some deliberate intentions to make it difficult for Zero.
After all, Zero's strength and qualifications are too shallow. Except for a few people, most of the others still have a mentality of rejection and dissatisfaction with him.
The leader knew this very well, but he was not prepared to speak, but wanted to see how Zero would deal with this situation.
Ask him for help?
Under the mixed looks of everyone, Zero slowly spoke.
"Everyone, doesn't anyone want to take over the task of wooing the other marquis?"
Contrary to everyone's expectations, after looking at the silent crowd, Zero took the initiative to take over the task.
"Then, I can find a way to win over at least one remaining marquis! But there is one condition. I hope that you can provide support to me and my people when necessary."
Although the words were spoken by everyone, Zero always looked at the leader when he spoke.
"Yes, if it is really necessary then they will assist you."
As he spoke, the leader glanced around the room. Under his majestic gaze, everyone couldn't help but lower their heads.
"Then, if there is nothing else, today's meeting will end here."
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty the Chief, I have just received a special message."
After the leader finished speaking, Hui Wu, the first person on the left side of the long table, suddenly spoke.
As he spoke, he paused for a moment and seemed to take a look at something in reality.
"As for the reason for the temporary change of venue of Pamir Academy, it is suspected to be related to the secret chess of the Magic Council. In other words, it is most likely the work of [Stargazer], and its purpose is temporarily unknown."
"However, due to the special source, I cannot be sure of the authenticity of this news. As for whether you choose to believe it or not, it depends on you."
Listening to Gray Mist's words without any fluctuations, everyone looked at each other with different eyes, wondering what they were thinking.
What is the reason why stargazers interfered with the venue where the Pamir Games was held at this time?
"Does anyone else have something to say?"
Nodding, the leader looked at the others, but no other interruptions appeared.
"Then, I declare that this meeting ends here——"
.….….
Above the Silver Sand Sea, Floating City, Orathian.
The stargazing tower, which had not been opened for a long time, received a rare guest today.
It was a young man with black hair and silver eyes, wearing a robe that looked like it was woven from stars and the sky, and holding a silver-white void-like staff.
The gentle wind of magic surrounded him, and the various elements in the environment seemed to have gained life. They swirled and danced around him happily, making the surrounding elements active like a super-magic environment.
"Brents, what happened? Did something happen to the web of fate? Vernica and I are very worried about you."
But at this time, this young man who looked like the god of magic frowned and asked doubtfully about the old man in front of him who was wearing a gray robe and whose figure was illusory and seemed to be isolated from the world.
That was a fellow traveler on the road of magic, and now the strongest prophet in the continent [Stargazer].
"Is it necessary to pay such a high price just to change the location of the competition to that ruins?"
The change of venue for the Pamir Academy competition is not something that a ninth-level vice-president can just change.
Since there are many descendants of the great nobles of the empire in the academy, such a change first needs to be given with sufficient reasons, and then it needs to be judged by a jury composed of multiple ninth-level people to judge its danger.
It’s not that the majority obeys the minority here, but even if any ninth-level review fails, the original plan cannot be changed.
To put it more broadly, Brunz's previous actions were almost equivalent to intervening in the fate of more than half of the empire's future high-level officials at the same time.
"A variable, Alwani, a special variable has appeared in the web of fate."
Still with his eyes closed, Brentz's face turned towards him, and the strange translucent spiral beard on his chin trembled slightly as he spoke.
"I can't see it, but since last year's Fire Moon... no, last year's New Year's Moon, the development direction of the Web of Destiny has suddenly changed."
“At first, the change was very small and still within the normal range, so I didn’t pay too much attention.
But as time goes by, the magnitude of this change has not been repaired by the power of destiny correction, but has become larger and larger. If this continues, the future will enter a completely different direction."
"You should also know, Alwani, those things... I no longer have the ability to conduct a world deduction again.
I can only ensure that I turn the future back to the path that I see is the only path of hope."
.….….
Guanghui calendar year 2461, the second day of Chubud month.
It has been a month and a half since the beast tide receded.
During this period of time, the situation in the empire became calm on the surface, and the reconstruction work after the beast tide was raging was carried out in an orderly manner.
With the help of magic, various fortifications that had been destroyed by the war were quickly repaired.
At the same time, rows of simple but solid stone houses were built outside major cities. A large number of homes had been destroyed by the beast tide, and the homeless victims were resettled.
People went to various granaries in an orderly manner to receive relief grains, and everything seemed to be temporarily restored to order.
During this month and a half, Anvis was trying every means to prepare for this competition.
He always felt that the sudden change in the location of this competition might mean some huge changes.
And with the experience of exploring that overseas island last time, he also had more experience in preparing adventure equipment.
For example, it is best to put the magic nuclear bomb in a separate ring, otherwise there will be no time to search for it at the critical moment.
With the secret arrangements of all parties, the time for the Pamir Academy Competition is finally approaching.
