Early the next morning, in the public lounge of the central spire, four tower masters, including Zhang Cheng, and several high-level mages with the same status as the tower master, were gathered and sat around a round table.
There was nothing else in the middle of the table, but the famous artifact - broken magic crystal.
Obviously, they will vote today to decide who will lead the arcane brotherhood next, so as to temporarily end this dangerous power struggle.
Of course, no one knows that two people here have secretly reached an agreement last night, let alone that a bigger conspiracy is hanging over each participant's head.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since yesterday's vote did not produce results, coupled with the return of the Lord of the North Tower, I suggest a second round of voting to elect a leader as soon as possible, otherwise it may give the enemy an opportunity." deltager took the lead in proposing with a smile.
Compared with his last rage and embarrassment, he seems more confident today. From time to time, he doesn't forget to sweep the corner of his eyes across a woman whose face is very similar to that of a snake.
Undoubtedly aware of this provocation, the latter sneered and asked, "enemy? I'm not sure whether the enemy comes from outside or from inside the spire. Dear Lord of the East Tower, do you think it's a wise choice to let a guy who gives broken magic crystals to Akram Grice become one of us?"
"Hehe, dear Lord of the West Tower, that's why I'm more willing to trust him. After all, he abandoned a powerful artifact without hesitation, and he didn't put his hand anywhere else except to manage the North Tower." deltager replied reluctantly.
Many people may think that this woman's snake like face is born, but he knows very well that the other party has an accident when trying to integrate the snake man's blood into himself, resulting in a series of chain reactions.
At present, Jaru Talas, the leader of the west tower known as the "snake face" by the outside world, not only has the same long life as the snake man and powerful magic talent, but also can spray deadly venom from the back teeth. He is a very difficult opponent.
In fact, excluding the outsider Zhang Cheng, the casting level of the other three tower masters is a little higher than Akram Grice, so they have the courage to launch this rebellion.
"Oh? Do you think so?" Yaru Talas glanced at his friend with reptilian eyes.
However, it was a pity that several other people who had already noticed the bad atmosphere chose to remain silent and did not stand up against it as she expected.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but tilt up his mouth and show a funny smile. He tapped the table with his right index finger and said after a full minute: "I know you've always been quite wary and vigilant about me.
But don't forget, I made it clear that I came to learn magic, not to participate in these boring power struggles.
In fact, if it had not been for the late night visit of the Lord of the East Tower yesterday, I would not have been here today.
As you may not know, just when Akram Grice was wounded and fled, the spy of the harpist alliance hidden in luscan had sent the news.
It is estimated that in a short time, deep water city and Jue Dong City will take advantage of the topic to crack down on the city's trade and weaken our proud pirate fleet.
Think about it. If luscan declines, what can he get even if he obtains supreme power?
So, first of all, we need to unite temporarily to deal with the attacks of the so-called good people.
Never think that war is far away from us. On the contrary, it is closer to us now than ever... "
"What?! do you mean that the deep water city will declare war on us?" a high-level mage with a high status suddenly stood up and looked shocked.
There is no way not to be shocked. Anyone who has lived in luscan for a long time knows that deepwater city is like a magic spell, which is bound to the ruler of luscan.
Every external expansion and every conspiracy finally ushered in the intervention of the Lords of deepwater city. It can be said that the two sides fought openly and secretly for dozens of times, and luscan won none of them.
For the arcane brotherhood that rules luscan, deep water city is like the final boss shrouded over the head in the game, which is about to be cast a shadow in the heart.
"Hum! Otherwise, what do you think I'm sitting here for? We must unite and completely cut off the spies placed around by the Harper alliance to ensure that they can't get even a little information. In addition, we must be prepared for war, especially after a heroic pirate captain successfully looted the port area of Jue Dong City." Zhang Cheng hinted meaningfully.
In order to provoke these people's hostility to the Harper alliance, he was fully prepared, especially allowing Ian to loot juedong City, which definitely touched the most sensitive nerve of deep water city.
Maybe at ordinary times, the Lords of deep water city don't care too much about the small actions of the luscan pirates, but now, I'm afraid they will try their best to collect the movements of the pirates to prevent themselves from being attacked.
In the eyes of the arcane brotherhood, this kind of intelligence gathering is 100% naked provocation.
Therefore, as long as both sides begin to pay attention to each other's movements, fierce fighting will be inevitable
"Damn it! You're right! We must give deep water city an impressive lesson, or they will advance by an inch." another high-level mage stood up and roared angrily.
"That's what I want to say! We must stop internal friction and unite with the outside world! Now vote, and the one with the highest vote will become the leader of the arcane brotherhood. I swear that no matter who is elected, your power will not be weakened." deltager knew that the time was ripe and immediately struck while the iron was hot to give a guarantee.
After all, he is not an idiot. He knows very well that no one here is willing to return to the era of Akram Grice, let alone control his life in the hands of another person, so it is necessary to make a compromise.
"Vote!"
"Vote!"
"Agree!"
"I think this voting mode should be retained. Whenever major decisions need to be made, senior members must vote."
……
For a moment, the assurance of the Lord of the East Tower was like a hammer to break the shackles, which instantly aroused the resonance of many people.
In any case, the threat of deepwater city is real. No one is willing to dominate a declining city. Luscan must continue to expand until it defeats all enemies in the north that threaten its status.
Due to the small number of people, the voting results came out soon.
Not surprisingly, del tagger was elected the top leader of the arcane brotherhood by a narrow margin of one vote, and was also the controller of the broken magic crystal.
However, the vacant master of the East Tower was transferred to a high-level mage of the opposing camp to maintain a weak balance of power.
