Chapter 1553 Declaring War (Borderlands 3 Is Really Fun)
After the red ponytail declared war on the Clock Tower on behalf of the Tree of Thousand Worlds, the entire Clock Tower almost went mad.
In particular, the aristocratic faction represented by the Urifis family of the Advent Division threatened to completely erase the Thousand Worlds Tree from this world.
It's no wonder that the noble factions are so angry. During the previous Holy Grail War, the Thousand World Tree had already blatantly fought against the Magic Association once, but the result at that time could be regarded as a loss for both sides. Because the Thousand Worlds Tree blocked the news, the Magic Association didn't know whether the Holy Grail War was a success. Of course, according to their thinking, the Thousand Worlds Tree must have failed.
And the Magic Association also suffered heavy losses at that time. Not to mention the entire army of magicians sent to participate in the Holy Grail War was wiped out, and they were even targeted, so that the Magic Association was a little disgraced for a long time afterwards.
This made the high-level members of the Magic Association extremely angry, but this time, the Thousand Worlds Tree actually officially declared war, and even denied the tragedy of the magicians for centuries, calling it the high-level of the Magic Association to control the magic world. lie!
From the point of view of the Magic Association, this Thousand Worlds Tree is simply the opposite of the sky! !
They also discussed sending magicians to the Far East to completely wipe out the Thousand Worlds Tree. However, those people were sent back to their hometowns to get married by the heroic spirits as soon as they arrived.
Reinis, who saw all this in her eyes, was also very emotional. What the Magic Association regards as important is worthless to the Thousand Worlds Tree. It's a pity that until now, the magicians of the Magic Association still don't understand what they are fighting against... No, it's normal for them not to understand. After all, even Reinis herself would not believe it if she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes.
So Reinis didn't say anything, just silently made her own preparations --- Fangzheng didn't give any advice on what to do specifically, and Linisi is also the patriarch of a family, so she should be very clear about what to do .
But in comparison, Animsfia is more free and easy, because they are small in number, and it is normal for them to live in the mountains for a long time and not go out. I'm afraid the Magic Association won't find out that the entire Animsfia family moved to the immigration ship. But El Mello doesn't have such an advantage, their base is in London, Sly. Therefore, even the slightest disturbance could attract the attention of the Magic Association.
Of course, if we talk about the advantage of the El-Melloi family, it is that there are fewer people than Animsfia. There are only a handful of people. For Reinis, as long as she brings these few people with her, the life and death of others...is not within the scope of her concern.
All she had to do next was wait.
At this moment, the Magic Association is still angry about the Thousand Worlds Tree. The monarchs of each family have begun to coordinate and communicate with each other in private, how to deal with the Thousand Worlds Tree, and the redevelopment of the London Underground Labyrinth. to discuss.
However, where they could not see, a large net was unfolding.
And the kind that is in full swing.
On April 5th, the card game "Duel City" based on the novel "Duel City" went online and began to sell globally. Because of Thousand World Tree's promotion at no cost in the early stage, this card game became popular all over the world for a while. The sound of this card game can be seen from Asia to Europe to North America, and even Africa.
And just three months after the card was released, Fang Suoqing Entertainment, the manufacturer of the "Duel City" card, announced to hold a global duel competition. The competition area is divided into four parts: city-country-continent-world finals. Famous players will receive prizes ranging from US$50,000 to US$100,000, while those who finish in the top five at intercontinental events will receive US$100,000 to US$500,000.
In the final world finals, the winner will receive a prize of up to one million dollars!
This immediately detonated the whole world!
All of a sudden, under the lure of high bonuses, whether it was those gamers who already liked games or those who had no interest in games but wanted to make money, all joined in one after another. After all, the threshold for this kind of competition is very low, you only need to spend a little money to buy card packs, and then form a card group to participate.
Not to mention, the bonuses are pretty substantial!
Even if you can only get the lowest level of city competition, as long as you can enter the top ten, you can also get a bonus of 1,000 US dollars. For many people, this is much higher than the probability of winning a lottery ticket!
As for the card pack, it is only one dollar a pack, which is considered cheap even in Southeast Asia, and even cheaper in developed countries. Some people can build a card group for ten dollars if they are lucky. If you are willing to spend a hundred dollars, then it is not a problem.
It is possible to obtain a minimum ten times profit for a $100 card deck, which is enough to make people crazy.
The so-called brave man must be under the reward, and soon, this game swept the whole world in the shortest time. Of course, it's not that no one is trying to make rare cards by themselves, but Fangzheng has long expected this. In fact, all cards have adopted anti-counterfeiting technology similar to banknotes. It is not easy to forge these cards. And under Fangzheng's suggestion, Suoqing Entertainment also cooperated with the police around the world to combat counterfeiting—as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
And this is the reason for the high bonus. Because the mystical nature of magic is that it is not known, so just let other people know it, it doesn't matter if they like it or not. And in order to get a high bonus, each contestant naturally needs to know the effect, function and record of each card—this is equivalent to knowing the truth of magic invisibly.
For Fangzheng, this is enough.
Of course, this is a lot of money, but Fang Zheng doesn't care, he deducted all the money from the FBI's account. Funds were also used to hold the competition. Right now, the other side is also very annoyed, and they are trying to find out who did it, but...they better not be able to find out.
Otherwise, Washington will become a sea of flames.
The irony is that even though this matter has developed into a raging fire all over the world, the Magic Association still doesn't know anything about it. In fact, many magicians from the Twelve Families have already discovered the problem. Many magicians from the Twelve Families found that the magic effects they released seemed to be no better than before. It can be roasted medium rare...
Of course, only some very young and not very strong magicians have discovered this situation so far, so they didn't take it too seriously, they just thought it was their own bad condition.
What's ridiculous is that the poster of "Duel City" is hanging on the street outside the clock tower.
However, for the magicians who come and go, they seem to be completely unaware of the relationship between the two.
This is also normal, except for the new generation of magicians, who would play with this thing? Not to mention the magicians of the Twelve Families.
However, it is impossible for the new generation of magicians to know the magic secrets of the twelve families. These magic secrets are within the twelve families and only the heirs and high-level people are qualified to know. Therefore, even if there are magicians who play card games, After reading the content, I would only find it a bit interesting, and I would never think that the essence of magic in my family had been leaked.
As for Reinis, who already knew the secret from Fang Zheng, she could only sigh when she saw the scene in front of her.
If even the Magic Association and the Clock Tower could detect a little bit of threat at this time, maybe Reinis would consider changing her view.
But it's a pity that people have already begun to cut down the foundation of the magician, and these monarchs still don't know anything about it, and they don't even feel the slightest danger, which makes Reinis feel more and more. Well, the Magic Association and the Thousand Boundary Tree are simply far apart.
It's like an ant that only knows how to find food on the ground, but doesn't know that there is a foot on top of its head that can fall down at any time and trample it to death.
"It's ridiculous, isn't it?"
Sitting in the tavern, Fang Zheng, transformed into a red ponytail, was drinking Coke while crossing his legs while watching TV. In front of the TV, a group of people were watching the broadcast, but what was broadcast on the screen was not a football game, but the European regional finals of the "Duel City" card.
In order to maximize the influence of this card game, Fangzheng even instructed Thousand Worlds Tree to cooperate with European gaming groups, so that even people who don't play games... can gamble.
The European regional finals were held in downtown London.
"Pretty ridiculous indeed."
Lyonis sat beside her, shaking a cup of coffee in her hand. As Fangzheng said, this is so ridiculous that the other party is pissed at his face, and the Magic Association is still unaware...
"By the way, having said that, isn't today the crowning decision? Are you not going to participate?"
The so-called crown decision is a meeting jointly held by the twelve monarchs who lead the Magic Association and the Clock Tower, which is a bit similar to the closed-door meeting of the United Nations in the magic world. The location is in the center of Albion, the underground labyrinth under the clock tower. Originally, as representatives of the El-Melloi clan, Reinis and El-Melloi II were going to attend this meeting.
But Reinis directly chose to give up.
"Is there any point in this? After all, the Magic Association is about to be destroyed. Now that it's gone, it's just a dead end, and Olga Marie didn't go either... Well, my lovely brother is afraid right now. I'm still busy with Sly."
"Didn't you tell him?"
"If you tell my brother in advance, people from the Magic Association may see the flaw. There is a saying that if you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people, right?"
"indeed so."
Having said this, Fangzheng drank the Coke in one go, then stood up. Glancing at the TV screen, at this moment, the European Finals has also come to an end, and many people in the crowd watching around cheered.
"Then it's our turn."
For El-Melloi II, the recent days are really not easy at all.
First, Reinis suddenly found herself, and then said to him with a smile, "Brother, the El-Melloi family is planning to withdraw from the Magic Association, please come and help with the follow-up affairs" and other confusing words, The injured El-Melloi II had to start dealing with his own affairs while swallowing stomach medicine. On the other hand, he always feels that the atmosphere in the clock tower is a bit bad recently... El-Melloi II can't tell what is wrong.
But he had a bad premonition, a very bad premonition.
Perhaps, we should go to the clock tower to investigate.
"Grey, pack up, we're going out right away."
"Yes, Master."
Hearing El-Melloi II's words, Gray also nodded quickly, and then the two left their residences and went to the clock tower.
However, just as they came to the gate of the clock tower, suddenly, a voice came.
"Oh, my lord brother, what a coincidence."
"Lynice?"
Hearing Reynis' voice behind him, El-Melloi II froze for a moment, then he turned his head away, and then --- El-Melloi II froze there.
On the street, Reinis was smiling and waving to herself, and beside her was a girl in a white coat and jeans, with bright red twin ponytails that seemed to be burning like flames.
"Miss Red Ponytail?"
Seeing the appearance of the red ponytail, Grey was also quite surprised.
"Why are you here?"
"Because the time has come, Gray."
"The time has come?"
"That's right, didn't I say that?"
While speaking, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and took out the bright red sword out of thin air.
"I will only come to the Clock Tower under one circumstance."
Having said this, Fangzheng turned the great sword upside down and thrust it into the ground forcefully.
"Sealed."
