Chapter 330 Variables
"Dear leader, I have finished what I have to say."
Looking at everyone who fell into silence due to his words, Zero finally bowed to the leader of the long table and then returned to his seat.
After getting along for a period of time, he basically figured out the leader's intentions towards him.
Used to say things that offend people, and things that no one wants to say - like now.
Others are afraid of being isolated and being tricked, but he is not afraid.
The most important thing is that he is weak enough. It's so weak that it can't stir up a single wave, and it's so weak that it can be crushed to death with just one finger.
Therefore, the leader has a very high tolerance for his actions. As long as he doesn't do anything extraordinary and go against the leader, his seat here will be extremely secure.
"So, what do you think of Zero's opinion?"
With a flash of satisfaction in his eyes, the leader spoke again, breaking the silence in the hall.
"Who should we arrange to contact several marquises in the empire and convince them to join forces?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally [Xing], who was at the top on the right, spoke softly.
"As for Marquis Draka...my people are already in contact with him. If we need to join forces, he will agree."
At this time, Hui Wu spoke calmly and took one of them.
"As for Marquis Wendy, I have a little personal relationship with him, so I can try to persuade him."
The second person on the right side of the long table, the Word of the Dead, took over in a hoarse tone.
After he finished speaking, the task of wooing the third and fourth marquis was taken over one after another.
But after that, there was a long silence in the room, and everyone's eyes were looking in Zero's direction.
This is not only due to the difficulty of the task, but also because of some deliberate intentions to make things difficult for Zero.
After all, Zero's strength and qualifications are too shallow. Except for a few people, most of the others still reject him and are dissatisfied with him.
The leader knew this very well, but he was not prepared to speak, but wanted to see how Zero himself would deal with this situation.
Ask him for help?
Under the mixed looks of everyone, Zero slowly spoke.
"Everyone, doesn't anyone want to take over the task of wooing the other marquis?"
Contrary to everyone's expectations, after looking at the silent crowd, Zero took the initiative to take over the task.
"Then, I can find a way to win over at least one of the remaining marquises! But there is one condition. I hope that you can provide support to me and my people when necessary."
Although the words were spoken by everyone, Zero always looked at the leader when he spoke.
"Yes, if it is really necessary then they will assist you."
As he spoke, the leader glanced around the room. Under his majestic gaze, everyone couldn't help but lower their heads.
"Then, if there's nothing else, that's the end of today's meeting."
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty the Chief, I have just received a special message."
After the leader finished speaking, Hui Wu suddenly spoke at the head of the left side of the long table.
As he spoke, he paused for a moment and seemed to glance at something in reality.
"The reason for the temporary change of venue of Pamir Academy is suspected to be related to the secret chess of the Magic Council. In other words, it is most likely the work of [Stargazer], and its purpose is temporarily unknown."
"However, due to the special source, I cannot be sure of the authenticity of this news. As for whether you choose to believe it or not, it depends on you."
Listening to Gray Mist's unwavering words, everyone looked at each other with different eyes, wondering what they were thinking.
What would be the reason for stargazers to interfere with the venue where the Pamir Games were held at this time?
"Anyone else have something to say?"
Nodding, the leader looked at the others, but no other interludes appeared.
"Then, I declare that this meeting is over -"
.
….….
Above the Silver Sand Sea, the floating city, Orathian.
The stargazing tower, which had not been opened for a long time, received a rare guest today.
It was a young man with black hair and silver eyes, wearing a robe that looked like it was woven from stars and the sky, and holding a silver-white void-like staff.
The gentle wind of magic surrounded him, and various elements in the environment seemed to have gained life. They swirled and danced around him happily, making the activity of the surrounding elements increase to a super-magic environment.
"Brents, what happened? Did something happen to the web of fate? Vernica and I are both worried about you."
But at this time, this young man who looked like the god of magic frowned and asked doubtfully about the old man in front of him who was wearing a gray robe and whose figure was illusory and seemed to be isolated from the world.
That was a former traveler on the path of magic, and now the strongest prophet in the continent [Stargazer].
"Is it necessary to pay such a high price just to change the location of the competition to that ruins?"
The change of the location of the Pamir Academy's competition is not something that a ninth-level vice-president can just change.
Since there are many descendants of the great nobles of the empire in the academy, such a change first needs to be given with sufficient reasons, and then it needs to be judged by a jury composed of multiple ninth-level people to judge its danger.
This is not a place where the majority obeys the minority, but even if any ninth level person fails the review, the original plan cannot be changed.
On a larger scale, Brunz's previous actions were almost equivalent to intervening in the fate of more than half of the empire's future high-level officials at the same time.
"A variable, Alwani, a special variable has appeared in the web of fate."
Still with his eyes closed, Brunz turned his face towards him, and the strange translucent spiral beard on his lower jaw trembled slightly as he spoke.
"I can't see it, but since the Hearthfire Month last year... no, the New Moon last year, the direction of the development of the web of fate has suddenly changed."
"At first, the change was small and still within the normal range, and I didn't pay too much attention to it.
But as time went on, the magnitude of this change was not fixed by the power of fate correction, but became larger and larger. If it continues like this, the future will go in a completely different direction."
"You should also know, Orvani, those things... I no longer have the ability to conduct a world deduction again.
I can only make sure to turn the future back to the only hopeful path I see."
.
….….
The 2nd day of the first sprout month, the 2461st year of the Glorious Calendar.
One and a half months have passed since the beast tide retreated.
During this time, the situation in the empire became calm on the surface, and the reconstruction work after the beast tide was carried out in an orderly manner.
With the help of magic, the fortifications destroyed by the war were quickly repaired.
At the same time, rows of simple but solid stone houses rose from the ground outside the major cities. Previously, a large number of homes were destroyed by the beast tide, and the homeless victims were resettled.
People went to various granaries in an orderly manner to collect relief food, and everything seemed to have temporarily restored order.
In the past one and a half months, Avis has been trying to make various preparations for this competition.
He always felt that the sudden change of the location of this competition might mean some huge variables.
With the experience of exploring the overseas island last time, he also had more experience in preparing exploration equipment.
For example, it is best to put the magic nuclear bomb in a ring alone, otherwise there will be no time to find it bit by bit at the critical moment.
With the secret arrangements of all parties, the time for the Pamir Academy competition is finally coming.
