Vol 9 Chapter 17: Collaborators
The magician united the union to explore the sky city "Aringe" for a long time. He has cleared the central area and built many magic towers or houses. If not for the remaining buildings, there is still research value. Douglas first saw The scene will never be so dilapidated, and now, near the core magic tower ruins, a low-rise magic tower sounds a melodious bell. According to the agreement, this is a symptom of the start of the meeting.
The fierce quarreling magicians above the square closed their mouths reluctantly, a little regrettable that the rare venting opportunity was over, and they slowly "surged" towards the five-story magic tower.
"The old men seem to have exchanged opinions privately ..." Fernando muttered, the real agreement is often reached before the meeting, which is just an occasion for announcement.
Douglas silently watched the magicians coming from all directions, his eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking, until the square became deserted, he sighed: "Let's go in, too."
"You also feel helpless about their quarrel? At such a moment of desperation and despair, they actually refuse to let go of prejudice and selfishness, and cooperate sincerely. Honestly, seeing the previous scene, I have no idea about the future of these magic organizations I really don't have confidence. "Fernando complained about moving forward, feeling that he had grasped Douglas' current mood.
Douglas shook his head and said in a low voice: "Everyone is selfish, they have it, President Arnold has it, Vice President Rig has it, Roland has it, you have it, I have it, so sincere cooperation is definitely not I hope that everyone will completely abandon selfishness, but show their strengths so that everyone understands that fighting with you will have a bright future that meets their own selfish interests and aspirations. "
"This is not the real strength, including but not limited to, it has richer connotations. For example, even if our real strength is not strong enough now, as long as there is a way for everyone to trust us, we feel that we are leading them. The path is full of hope, and it is possible to lead them all the way, that is the category of 'strength'. "
His expression was solemn, without a trace of despair and anger.
"Isn't that the process of building confidence in us through various methods? In the Department of Illusions, this is a very deep content. The more people who" trust "the 'spell', the better the effect will be." Fernando habitually devalued In Douglas's words.
Douglas put a serious expression on his face and looked at Fernando: "You know a lot about illusions?"
个人 He is not very good at the theory of illusions. He may use a lot of illusions, but there is no further research.
"My teacher is an erudite scholar. Before the killing, he maintained correspondence with many lords and magicians in the illusion department, so I also knew many magicians in the illusion department." Fernando mentioned his teacher and seemed to him. Nothing too deep.
Douglas did not continue to ask, because the two have already reached the front of the magic tower. A middle-aged man wearing the magician union's "mystery badge" is waiting by the door, saying earnestly: "Is it President Douglas? President After the Lord has let you into the lobby, go to the living room on the side first. "
He is Douglas recognized by Fernando.
"Okay," Douglas answered politely.
This surprised the middle-aged man a little, because the masters in his impression were very arrogant. Even if he didn't show up, he could clearly feel the difference between his manners, even if he was amiable like President Arnold,
Stepping into the hall, a stone bench had been protruding inside, Douglas and Fernando walked around the periphery and stepped into the side living room.
"Douglas, come, let me introduce you." Arnold greeted with a smile, a kind old man.
Douglas was as calm as water, but Fernando whispered, looking at the happy appearance of the old fox, the negotiations seemed to be going smoothly, and the intention of preliminary cooperation should have been reached.
After hearing Douglas's name, a dozen or twenty magicians sitting in the small living room looked at them at the same time. They were alert, scrutinized, and scrutinized. He was the magist who knew “stop time” and raided. Tribunal, Douglas who killed the "Assassin"?
Arnold embraced Douglas' shoulders closely, pointing at a bloated and obese old man: "Nelson, the chief of 'Red Eyes', Archmage, don't look at him so fat, his physical ability is no less than ordinary gold. knight."
As he said this, Douglas instantly understood what Nielsen was good at. He was undoubtedly good at blood fusion and physical transformation. Perhaps every part of his body had solidified some specific abilities, which could play unexpected roles in battle. Effect, the current appearance is just a disguise.
In addition to his impressive body, Nielsen's crystal clear ruby-like eyes are also noticeable because they are completely different from the obese appearance. He smiled with a chuckle on his cheeks: "I have always longed for Antiver, The Archmage from it is really outstanding. "
What he said was yearning, but the tone was meaningless.
Douglas, who understood the grievances of the two empires, smiled and nodded, not minding Nelson's attitude.
Ann Arnold pretended not to hear the meaning of Nelson, and continued to introduce with a smile: "Amannata, a student of the Lord of Shadows, is currently one of the two chairmen of the Shadow Singer."
Amanda is shrouded in a black magic robe and sits in the shadowy corner inconspicuously. After hearing the introduction of Arnold, he just nodded slightly, and said hello, if it is not a standard masculine name Douglas didn't even see whether he was male or female.
Ann Nord laughed and joked: "Shadow singers are all attached to shadows."
Not far from Amana Tower, there is a cold and gloomy magician wearing a black ornate robe with dark gold patterns, only white skulls on his head, and needle-shaped dark red jumping in his eyes. Flame is a typical Lich.
"Congers, the master who created 'Soul Supreme' in one hand, was praised by the Lord of Shadows, saying that he is very hopeful to become a legendary magician." Arnold introduced this obviously not weaker than Nelson, Oman Nata's Lich.
Conges spoke, his voice hoarse, as if someone was grinding a long sword with rust: "I've never heard of your friend Antiphele mention you."
似乎 He seems to have a great relationship with Antifleur.
因为 "Because Antivre is too much a stronger magician than me." Douglas answered humbly, and thought so, "and I'm a freak."
是 "Yeah, but Antivre was still destroyed by the Pope." Nelson interposed sharply.
Congus looked at him the same way, coldly: "At least the empire hasn't died yet, Arthur ..."
Kekeke, Arnold interrupted the forthcoming quarrel with a cough, and introduced the boring lady with dark red hair: "Beautiful Lady Phillhill, the owner of the Tower of Destroyer, good at it ' Elemental Mage '.
"Hey, Arnold, do you want me to give you a bit?" Plyhill teased Arnold with a smile, and then stretched out his fair-skinned right hand, "'Time Stopped' and 'Broken' 'It's the best match, but unfortunately I won't do the former. I have the opportunity to ask you for advice.'
She is the friendliest responder.
"I'm also longing for‘ Great Splinter Surgery ’, ma'am.” Naturally, Douglas reached out and politely held his arms.
Fernando followed with nothing and muttered to himself, how can these old minded guys really cooperate successfully?
Ann Arnold also introduced Douglas and Fernando to the heads of other organizations, but did not mention the matter of cooperation, it seems that this is a trivial matter that has long been answered.
In the process, Annold has always smiled, funny and humorous, which has stimulated the atmosphere very well. This may be the reason why he completed the draw instead of the leader of other organizations.
"Okay, we should go out to the meeting, and tell everyone this exciting news as soon as possible." Finally, he pointed his arm outside the door.
All the strong men stood up and followed Anold's fish out.
Because the safety of this party was unknown, they used substitutes, imitates, etc., so there were not many magicians brought in, and the entire hall was not full.
As the leaders came out, the whispered discussion in the hall disappeared.
"Everyone, it ’s been more than three hundred years since the dawn of the church ’s naming war. Many of you may not have lived a life of magic supremacy, were born in panic and depression, and grew up in darkness and despair, and in the end may be on the shelf Death. "When Congos and others sat down, Arnold smiled, and started speaking with the help of magic.
The heavy opening made the hall quieter. Some senior masters thought of the final glory of the empire. The empathic young masters thought of their own experiences, but they had the same fear, which was the nightmare church and the night watchman. .
After a pause, Arnold continued: "In this darkness, our personal strength is so small. Only when we help each other can we hope to break through the thorns and meet the real dawn. This meeting is to tell everyone The organizations we present will conduct preliminary cooperation, give up internal fighting, give up quarrels, and fight wholeheartedly to win space for survival. "
In such a desperate environment, any good news will be "brain-filled" by the magicians for a better future. Therefore, Arnold ’s words make everyone's breath heavy and faintly excite. So many organizations should unite. Can you compete against a parish without a legend? If more organizations join in the future ...
南 Fernando smirked, but said nothing.
Mr. Annoord did not mention unity. He knew that this was unrealistic. Without strong strength to back it up, integrating so many thoughtful organizations would only weigh on himself, and preliminary cooperation would help further communication in the future.
After a good description of the future, Arnold ended his speech. At this moment, the following magician stood up and asked: "How do we get living space in the future?"
The excitement brought by the good news has gradually subsided, and more and more magicians have begun to adopt a questioning and worrying attitude. Their experience tells them that caution can live longer because they have no more capital and cannot help it. Taking risks, if you make the wrong choice, it is difficult to have hope for a return.
"Hey, it's not that stupid." Fernando laughed softly.
It is impossible for Arnold to talk about the true content of cooperation, so he exerted his eloquence: "... the success of our cooperation will serve as a model for more and more magicians to join us and draw the attention of your legendary ...... The church is definitely not strong enough to be defeated. Alto has gathered many legendary strongmen, and their enemies are blood, dragon, sea, elves, demons, and devil. How many gods and how many gods are included in it? The pinnacle of legend ... "
的 Desperate people like to listen to this description the most, hoping to overcome the doubt for a short time, and they are the elites of their respective organizations, and gradually see that the leaders have reached a secret agreement, so they simply anesthetize themselves with a bright future.
"Yeah, we can work with extraordinary creatures to draw the elements of magical development from them."
"Can magic really be worthy of magic? At least it creates legendary powerhouses ..."
After Arnold ’s speech, the magicians were full of thoughts. Some people thought of the benefits of cooperating with extraordinary creatures, the development of magic, and some people remembered the slump of magic since the dawn of war ... Hope, fear, despair, expectation, all kinds Emotions converged.
Nielsen, Congus, Plyhill, Amanata, and others spoke briefly and expressed support, but no one disclosed the specific content of the cooperation.
"Since everyone is a partner, I would like to introduce to you the magician next to me, Douglas from Antifleur, who is good at 'time stops' and raided the refereeing court with Fernando ..." Annold showed with satisfaction Get up the strength of your union Keep whispering exclaims, let Arnold nod his head gently, smile to Douglas and say, "Are you going to say something to everyone?"
Douglas nodded solemnly and saw Arnold froze. Why did he look like this? What is he going to say?
Fernando also noticed that Douglas's expression was wrong, because he didn't take the usual kind smile, but also couldn't understand why he was like this. As for Nelson and others who did not know Douglas, they didn't notice the abnormality.
Douglas looked around the hall, calming the magician's discussion, his voice was low but clear:
"Gentlemen and ladies, many years ago, our esteemed ancestors learned how to use mental power from dragons, elves, giants, demons, devil and various magical creatures, and then analyzed them Body structure and blood characteristics, merging their bloodline step by step, transforming their own body, inventing a lot of meditation ideas to enhance mental strength, and referring to the magic pattern structure inside and outside of their body, creating various magic, thus Gaining powerful power, drove the demon back to the abyss, kicked the devil back to hell, and let the dragons, elves, giants either retreat to the remote mountains, wilderness and alien space, or submit to our feet. "
His brief review of the origins and glorious beginnings of the age of magic did not dispel the doubts of Arnold and Fernando, because Douglas was definitely not the one who raised this matter for no reason, and the magicians seemed to feel the original glory.
