Vol 4 Chapter 63: Committee

Warrington, northern suburbs.
Arcane Tower.
Jerry stood respectfully in front of a man wearing a black hood and a black robe, shrouded in black smoke all over his body, like a wizard.
"So, Raschel found you and warned you?" The wizard-like man asked in a low voice.
"Yes ... yes, sir."
"You didn't tell him who we are, and how did you contact us?"
"Absolutely not, sir."
"Very good." The man nodded. "Tell me about Violet."
"The relationship between Shuigler and this song and dance troupe is definitely not rumored by the outside world. The girls there are not afraid of him. Instead, they even want to see him. Of course, on the surface, they have done enough. I tried to get a way from the head of the group, Clarice, to contact Shuigler, but after a few trials, I found that they might not be able to contact him. So we might use the method that Raschel used to force him out. . "
"You don't have the qualifications to make suggestions. We will naturally make a decision on how to deal with the next thing. You go back now and stay in the song and dance troupe. You do n’t have to do anything. Just wait for our instructions . "
"Yes, sir." Jerry lowered his head and stepped back step by step.
Watching Jerry leave, the man slowly removed the hood, showing an old, bark-like face, but an old man. He took a crystal ball from his arms, and murmured in his mouth, reading a long list of strange words. These words came out of his mouth, and turned into physical words, one by one, falling into the crystal ball clearly and utterly.
He raised a finger, his fingertips flew a little light, and landed on a candle. The faint flare reflected a faint light in the originally dark room, dragging a long black shadow behind the old man.
"You're here, Capno." The old man suddenly made a noise, in his room alone.
"At your call." In the empty room, another person's voice echoed. It is amazing that the sound source turned out to be the shadow of the elderly. The shadow seemed to be alive, twisted a few times, and even broke away from the old man's body and stood alone.
Shadow took a few steps and came to the old man:
"What's the matter? Lord Cage, you asked for a committee meeting immediately." Shadow asked, shaking his body.
"Let's talk when they come."
"I've arrived." A black bird flew in from the window and uttered words.
"And me." The flame of the candle suddenly skyrocketed, and a strange face formed in the fireworks. Blazing face looked left and right, then frowned in disappointment: "Irwin is late again."
"Hey, don't say bad things about others behind, Bode. I'm not like you, speed is not my strength." A golden beetle crawled out of the corner of the room, fluttered its wings, and flew down to the candlestick. .
The old man in the room raised his hand: "That's enough, Elwyn has just been promoted to a seventh-level mage. His strength is not comparable to you, and it is understandably slower."
No shadows, flames, black birds and golden beetles no longer make sounds.
"Then, Mr. Cage, is it about that young man to hold a committee meeting in such an emergency? If so, things have been done over the Assassin Union, although I don't think they can help us any more." The shadow of nothingness said.
"What we need is not help, just an organization or individual who can take responsibility for killing that teenager." The old man flatly said, "Of course, it would be better if they could provide us with some more information."
"I still insist that on this issue, Lord Cage, you are a little too worried. The teenager does not have that much energy." The golden beetle fluttered his wings and answered.
"I don't think Lord Cage is overly concerned. The committee must curb Hugh Glair. This boy will either die or never show up." Blaze said, "The boy inherited part of Electra's legacy, This is troublesome. He may not be the one who changes the situation now, but he may not be sure in the future. "
"But it shouldn't be this extreme way, we are not butchers." The black bird jumped from the window and said.
The shadow of nothingness immediately said: "That's why we gave him a warning in this way, but I doubt if he can understand what we mean, or if he understands it and will accept it.
"Kill it if you don't understand, don't forget that we have the same personal grudges as Shuigler." The Fire Face reminded everyone.
"I never thought Mallett's death was a bad thing. This guy ruined half of the city of Royo and plunged the whole empire into injustice. His fiery temper didn't look like a magician at all. Don't move your mind. "The golden beetle said ironically, and it looked like he was out of step with the flame face.
"That's right, maybe you are the only one among us who should thank Shuigler, because without him killing Mallett, you would not be eligible to join the committee and become a member of it." Flame Weird sneer.
The golden beetle jumped angrily: "Do you want to insult me, Bode? If that's the case, you have succeeded, you have succeeded in angering me, and stirred up my anger."
Huo Ran, the old man, turned around: "Enough, gentlemen, you're all old, don't be as noisy as two angry kids!"
The golden beetle and flame face were silent again.
Nether Shadow coughed softly, and then said, "I don't think we need to discuss the decision we have already made. Hugh Iglenn is either always silent or dead, this is not a personal grudge, and Mallett's death Nothing. Armitage is right, we are not butchers, but we will kill many people when necessary. The dignity of the magician cannot be blasphemed, and the status of the arcane tower cannot be shaken. , We'll take care of him. I guess this is not just the meaning of the Warrington Commission, but also the common meaning of the magicians in all arcane towers in the entire northern continent and even in the three continents. "
"You're right, Capnu." The old man nodded contentedly. "The news I just received this morning, Frank Empire, my old friend, he hopes I can do him a favor."
"Is Bernardine the old one?" The little black bird asked.
"That's him. Guess what he wants me to do for him?"
"Find Shuigler?"
The old man laughed and laughed: "It's killing, not finding. Please note the difference. We don't need that boy to serve us, don't need his knowledge, don't need his skills, don't need him to change anything here. Just as card That's what Bruno said, this is the common wish of all magicians, there are no national boundaries ... magic has no boundaries! "
"So there is no need to discuss it anymore."
The old man looked at the golden beetle, and the other party obviously already acquiesced to this fact.
So he said again: "Then next, we have to see who is our suitable acting agent. What do you think of Raschel? This will be the main discussion in the meeting tonight."
"That little detective?" The black bird shook his head. "A little smart, Lord Cage, how come you think of him?"
"He already knew that Jerry had a new master. Although Jerry didn't tell him who was involved, but with his wisdom, he could easily guess who else is qualified to be able to ignore this country. The emperor ordered to do such a thing. "
"Raschel is indeed a personal talent, but he lacks sufficient mobility."
"But it is undeniable that he is a personal talent. If the song and dance troupe can't help us find Shuigler, and Shuigler refuses to heed our warning, Raschel is still the best to help us find Shuigler Candidate. "
"But he won't accept our assignment. He has given up any action against Shuigler."
In the room, everyone is arguing with me.
The old man bowed his head and pondered for a while, then said, "I think we can solve this problem."
"How to deal with it?"
"Pudget, that earth warrior. As long as he is dead and Raschel thinks it's related to Hugh Iglell, he will scoop out Hugh Iglell at all costs."
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I ... agree." The golden beetle hesitated, and finally agreed.
"Then what then? Shall we take it?" Void Shadow asked.
"No, we don't shoot. On this issue, I personally tend to stay on the sidelines." The old man replied: "Raschel is responsible for finding Hugh Glair. As for the shot ... someone else."
"Who?"
"Church," the old man answered.
"church?"
The room was lively again.
"How could the church take the shot?"
"Shuegler may be of value to anyone, but it doesn't make sense to the church alone. The church can't fight with puppets. They only need the Holy Knights, and no other combat power is needed."
"Even though the Reims has been trying to cover up the fact that Xiu Yierer is a soul mage, the church is not deaf and blind after all. They will not be so incompetent. But they haven't done anything yet. This is enough to explain the problem. Iglell is not interested. "
The old man waved his hand: "That's the past, not the present. The news I just received was that a holy knight came out of the Grabis Mountains, led by Hamilton, with about a hundred people, and went straight to Warrington, in the name Well ... wish the Emperor's life. "
"Hamilton? He even sent this lunatic?" The golden beetle jumped a few times on the table, showing his shock.
The old man said ruthlessly: "You know that if you wish for longevity, the people who come here should never be Hamilton. The only significance of this guy's existence in the world is to clear the dissidents of the church. I am sure that they came for the repair of Iglesias. As for why there is such a change in attitude, I think this is understandable. The church does not care about alchemy, but its impact. In this regard, they are the same as us. And Hugh Igle ... He has indeed shown his influence. "
Jungle in the Rigula Mountains.
Xiuyi was lying lazily on the ground, feeling the wind and regulating the movement of vigor in his body.
Cultivation during this period of time has allowed him to make great progress. Although he has not yet broken through to the sixth level, he can already touch the threshold of the sixth level.
The road to promotion is getting harder and harder to reach the heights. It is possible to enter the bottleneck period in such a short period of time. The speed is already fast. For Xiuyi, when he broke into the sixth level, he sent the last goal.
At this moment, the communication crystal in her arms shook.
Xiu Yi doesn't need to look at it and knows it is Buckler.
Sure enough, the rough man faced Xiu Yi with a serious face: "Good news, bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Listen to the bad news first."
"Your little lover group is here."
"My little lover group?" Xiu Yi didn't respond all of a sudden.
"Violet Song and Dance Troupe, they're in Warrington."
"Oh Brian, you bastard, who told you it was my little lover group?"
"Don't want to deny it. According to known information, there are at least three women who have had a relationship with you. Lilith is very dissatisfied with this. She thinks that you are messing around. So she decided to give it to you when you return. You look at the colors. "
"I'm young and full of energy." Xiu shrugged.
"It might be more appropriate to change the energy to the other two words." Buckler laughed strangely.
"You're an old hooligan, Brian." Xiu smiled helplessly: "Lilith's anger ... Well, it's really bad news, but I can solve it, so what's the good news?"
"We investigated the Golden Dragon Club and found no information about the reward for assassinating your client. Instead, a clue was found by accident in the Violet Song and Dance Troupe?"
"What clue?"
"Rasher went to find the boy named Jerry. My guy didn't dare to get too close and didn't use scouts, so I couldn't hear what they said, but it seemed to be a fight. My guy It was vaguely heard that Raschel wanted the guy to give up, but was rejected, then the boy ran away. My people did not dare to catch up. "
"Understand. It seems that Jerry has found a new master to take refuge in. Do you think it will have something to do with the reward for killing me?"
"It is very likely, then, that this reward, I personally feel that the warning means more."
"I think so, the question is what are they warning?"
"That's not what I can guess, but they may think you can guess it. I have no personal grudges except the Lance Empire."
"That's the crux of the problem. There must be something connecting you, but you haven't noticed it yet. Think about it, maybe you will find it."
"Can it be the church?"
"It's possible, but it doesn't look like their way of doing things. But when it comes to the church, why not consult your new allies? They should know more about the Holy Spirit Church."
"My new ally?" Xiu Lin frowned for a moment, then realized that Buckler was referring to the Scourge Church.
That's right, the enemy is often the person who knows you best. Is it possible that the Holy Spirit Church is behind the ghosts? Just ask the people in the Scourge Church to know.
He quickly connected with the Scourge Elder, Isador; Naper, and told him about what he had encountered during this time.
Isador; Naper replied with a very positive answer: "It is absolutely impossible for the Holy Spirit to do anything. They will do anything, kill anyone, they will directly and publicly do it in the name of the gods. This method of commissioning assassinations will never They can do it. In addition, this thing looks like you said, the warning means more than the substance, I think the other party obviously wants to convey a message to you, but because of the lack of communication channels, you can only use this Way to inform you of something. "
"What kind of message?"
"Threat, as you previously guessed, they don't want you to show up publicly."
"Why? Who does my public appearance hurt?"
Isador; Naper bowed his head for a moment and thought: "It's hard to say. To know the answer, you need to see what you have."
"Alchemy," Xiu answered immediately, "it can only be related to alchemy."
Yes, it can only be related to alchemy. The power of the samurai and the magician represents only individuals and only alchemy. It is a power that can transfer combat power and a power that can affect the world.
If someone does not want Xiuyi to appear in public, and some aspects of Xiuyi are not, it will not be his magic, it will not be his fighting spirit, but only his alchemy.
The problem is that all people only want to get Xiu Yi's alchemy, so they will never force Xiu Yi to show up. The Lance Empire wanted to catch him, and the Frank Empire wanted to find him, all to benefit from him. A man is not guilty and cherishes his guilt, but this puppet should be contended by everyone, not destroyed.
Why would anyone long for him not to show up? Does that mean that the emergence of some alchemy will affect some person and some power? Even if they get it for themselves, it's not much better, so why not destroy it better?
What kind of alchemy is it? Who will be affected?
Xiuyi thought for a long time but never thought about it.
Seeing Xiu meditating over there, Isador; Naper slowly said, "Maybe I can give you a reminder, Xiuerai. In fact, I always wanted to ask you the first time I saw you. You have a question, just considering that this may be your biggest secret, I do n’t want to make you misunderstand, so I did n’t speak. But now it seems that this secret may no longer be a secret, and he may be hunting you with a reward related."
"What's the problem? Master Isador."
"I know that you have excellent alchemy. This is certainly due to your experience on Purgatory Island, but have you also inherited some of the knowledge inherited by Electra?"
"Yes." Xiuyi did not deny this.
"Sure enough." Isador; Naper's expression became serious: "Did you get the method of making the moire about Electra's record?"
Magic pattern?
Xiu Yi froze slightly, a vague concept in his heart.
This concept kept turning in his mind, expanding like a vortex, encompassing everything that Xiuyi had experienced in the past year.
He desperately recalls, reflects, and thinks about the miles he has traveled all the way, what he has experienced, what he has seen and learned, every bit of this world, every bit of his knowledge, even back to his own work on Purgatory Island.
The idea gradually became clear.
He called: "I see, I know who wants to deal with me!"! ~!
