Chapter 937: Tiny Job

Nolan.

Qiao Xiu was honored to participate in Nolan's Council of Sages.

This council is the highest meeting to decide the future direction of the city of Nolan, but what was decided today seems to be... the future direction of the world.

"I and the expedition team from the Kingdom of Frost explored the Edelweiss Mountains deep in the Frost Plains... There are a lot of relics of the gray mist entrenched inside."

The man in blue spread out a map on the long table and explained his research results to other sages.

"A plague related to the gray mist has also broken out in the Kingdom of Frost recently. Those damn guys only know how to engage in these shameful things, which has made my students restless recently!"

Sophia, the chief apprentice of the Man in Yellow, is also a native of the Frost Kingdom, and is also a member of the Silver Frost Fox family, the central family in this plague incident.

"The plague in the Kingdom of Frost is indeed very strange, but... I am very worried about what the judges are doing in the conscious world."

The man in black said and looked at Qiao Xiu who was sitting in the corner of the Council of Sages. At this time, other sages also looked at Qiao Xiu.

Qiao Xiu felt the gazes of the seven sages and didn't know what to say for a moment. However, Xili, who had come to attend this meeting with Qiao Xiu, suddenly stood up.

"You are the sages of Nolan! You are not just living in Nolan!"

Ciri put his hands on the long stone table of the Council of Sages. According to the previous parliamentary tradition, this behavior was already a serious provocation to the Council of Sages.

But none of the sages sitting here spoke out to refute Xili, not even the man in red who had the most unsociable personality said anything.

"If you want to solve the plague, isn't it the fastest way to find a cure? Whoever among you has a higher level of alchemy than Qiao Xiu, right?"

In fact, when Xili heard that the sages invited Qiao Xiu to join the Council of Sages, her first reaction was not to feel honored or panic, but to directly ask Qiao Xiu, 'Are you going to take on the main quest again? ’

After arriving at the Council of Sages, it was just as Xili expected. The sages pinned their hopes on Qiao Xiu, as if Qiao Xiu was the only savior in the world.

Xili admitted that this kind of setting is very good to watch in it. It feels good to be noticed and have hopes of so many people, but it is completely different to actually become a person involved.

"besides…"

"Ciri, Ciri, let me say it."

Qiao Xiu tugged at the hem of Shiri's clothes. Shiri was almost two months pregnant. Although she didn't have a big physical reaction, the less negative emotions she had, the better.

Xili took a deep breath and could only walk back and sit in her seat.

Qiao Xiu put his hand on the stone table again and glanced at the sages present.

"As you can see, I helped you a lot, such as building an amusement park, suppressing the 'gate' built by the judge, etc."

In fact, Qiao Xiu felt this way when the Arthur Crow Amusement Park was built, especially when Qiao Xiu brought a lot of people to the Ascended One's base to destroy the place.

From that day on, the way the man in blue looked at him was no longer like a senior looking at a junior, but as if he was looking at a great prophet, a hero who guided mankind to the right path.

But Qiao Xiu is very clear about his position.

"But this is just doing some minor work. My job is to type code or make movies." Qiao Xiu said.

If he hadn't known the whereabouts of the New World Tree, Qiao Xiu might still be lying in the Hearthstone Tavern drinking ice-cold watermelon juice and downloading the dungeon with Ciri.

It is true that part of the reason why Qiao Xiu wrote World Rift was to resist the gray fog, but more importantly... he still wanted to play it!

To be more precise, I want to play mmorpg with friends in this world.

"Another point is that I am only twenty years old this year, okay, almost twenty-one years old, but to you, at this age, I may not have even graduated from the Higher Academy of Magic, right?"

Qiao Xiu vaguely remembered that Xili's sister Hellan was twenty-two years old, and she was still studying at the Ruelsk Higher Magic Academy.

When Qiao Xiu told his true age, both the man in gray and the man in purple showed surprised expressions. Maybe they didn't expect Qiao Xiu to be so young!

The man in yellow laughed out loud when he heard this. His laughter was very loud, a bit like sarcasm and a bit like self-deprecation.

"Look at you! You are almost two hundred years old, but you only place your hopes on a twenty-year-old young man!" said the man in yellow.

"But Mr. Qiao Xiu has indeed created countless miracles, and his achievements have nothing to do with his age."

The man in blue has never looked down on anyone because of his age. At least everything Qiao Xiu has built to resist the gray fog is enough for the man in blue to call Qiao Xiu Mr. with respect.

"But that's not the reason why we are sitting here! Do you really regard Qiao Xiu as a god?" The man in yellow had no intention of continuing to hold the meeting. He stood up and planned to leave.

"Since my student is making noises and wants to return to China, I can just go back with her." After leaving these words, the man in yellow walked down the stairs of the Sage's Tower.

"Perhaps I should go and meet with the King of the Kingdom of Steel. I can't let the plague get worse."

The man in blue put away the map he had placed on the table, but he still glanced at Qiao Xiu before leaving.

"The only thing I can do to help with this plague is to make a movie to slightly influence the direction of public opinion, but the hatred between the Country of Steel and Frost really needs leaders to mediate."

Qiao Xiu shrugged and said that there was nothing he could do to cure the plague.

The man in blue didn't say anything else, he just performed a mage salute to Qiao Xiu and left. The man in black followed the man in blue and left.

"Mosilaf." The man in gray just looked at the man in red who was still sitting in his seat. He was the one with the highest attainments in alchemy among the seven sages.

"I have already been investigating the plague! How could I rely on this kid! I was just about to prepare the treatment when you called me back."

The man in red still had an unfriendly attitude toward Qiao Xiu. He also understood that there was no point in staying in the Council of Sages this time, so he stood up and left the council.

The man in white who had been sitting at the top of the council let out a long sigh after the man in red left.

"Sometimes I really wish I could be younger." The man in white said.

He is the oldest of all the sages, and his stooped body seems to fall down if it is blown by the wind.

But the existence of the man in white is Nolan's order... Leaders of various countries have absolute respect for this legendary mage, including the king of the seaside country.

"Looking at it this way... all I can do is manage Owl Express and this city." The man in gray said.

"There is also the Spellcaster's Forum. Uh... I have nothing to do. Can I leave? I haven't had lunch today."

In fact, when these sages were discussing the spread of gray fog, Qiao Xiu was thinking about whether to eat fried chicken or barbecue for lunch today.

Now Qiao Xiu has come to the conclusion that he should eat hot pot.
