Chapter 1,634 Reactions to Building the Tower
Compared to the northern battlefield where there are no enemies, a violent storm is about to come. Outside of the northern battlefield, the demons being 'expelled' were not calm and completely insignificant.
The robot fleet transported goods from the two empires, and this matter could not be concealed. Because there were too many nobles involved, there were even private chambers of commerce.
Even the contents of the goods cannot be kept secret, because too many people feel as if they have been robbed and cannot let go.
Even though no one wanted to know about these things at first, as those who handled it complained to their relatives and friends, the whole thing inevitably spread to the outside world, fermented, and expanded.
At first, everyone just felt unhappy that they had been robbed. Although the organic fleet defeated the Abyss Demon in exchange for these supplies.
But before this, mankind experienced two or three years of suffering and war. It had only been a few days since the robots had appeared. Such a huge disparity made it hard to believe that the abyssal invasion had been resolved in this way.
It seems that at any time, the devil will suddenly appear again, catching everyone by surprise.
But such negative emotions are only brewing. Midi is not like the hometown of a certain time traveler. The Internet and various self-media are developed. A small thing can be hyped to the sky in three minutes, and will be forgotten by the masses in three minutes.
There have been a lot of changes in the public opinion of Lost World after the emergence of the forum as a tool for people to communicate, but it has not reached a crazy level.
According to the general process, the magic tower may be built within the scheduled time limit, the robot fleet will return to the earth elemental world, and the relevant information on the forum may not have developed to the point of causing an uproar.
As soon as the robot fleet retreats and there is no target to attack, the whole thing should naturally cool down and no one will care about it in the end. This is also why someone intends to move quickly, rather than dragging his feet and leaving opponents with the possibility of stirring up trouble.
However, things did not develop as some people expected. Because the contents of the goods searched by the robots led to some speculations, which eventually triggered the dissatisfaction of the Magicians Association.
The nobles competed with the magicians for materials that could be used to build magic towers, which in itself was quite dissatisfying to the magicians.
When the nobles gave these materials to the robot, the final purpose was to build a magic tower at the Gate of the Abyss. This can be said to have violated the taboos of magicians!
And it is that man who leads the construction of the Magic Tower and will eventually settle in it. This betrayal of the small tacit understanding of the ruling class exploded directly on the forum where all public opinions circulated.
Gabrash Tripwood is a man recognized by the world as not allowed to touch the Magic Tower again. Such a person wants to lead the construction of a... No! They are two magic towers and take them under their control!
How could the Magicians Association agree to such a crazy thing?
But is there any point in protesting? In the two major empires, the Magician Association has no control over the orders issued directly by the emperor. If anyone within the empire fails to comply, he or she will be charged with treason.
You must know that after experiencing this war against the abyss invasion, power is the most concentrated moment. The emperors of the two empires, one old and one in their prime, were even more powerful. There is no such situation where the young master is in power and the master is weak but the minister is strong.
At this time, who within the empire would dare to jump out and be a thorn in the side? It doesn't matter if he dies or not, he won't get any sympathy if his whole family is wiped out.
As for the outside of the empire...if internal affairs can be easily affected by other forces, then it is not worthy of being included in the empire. Only the empire has always been able to point fingers at people. When will it be someone else’s turn to point fingers at the empire?
Even an empire of the same level would not do such a thing. Because if the two parties have opinions about each other, they are not just talking about each other. Directly attacking them with real swords is the way to solve the problem between empires. Just like the Karlsruhe Empire and the Haider Empire.
How does the Magician Association control the actions of the robot fleet?
Not to mention the original body of the robot, the elemental lords among the earth elemental elves, any magician who comes to talk to them will always have a discussion tone. How many people dare to order an elemental lord?
Moreover, the robot fleet is so high above that it does not come into contact with humans at all, nor does it respond to any magic that summons elemental spirits.
Even those improved special magic circles, when all the robots responded to a certain magician's call, the magic circles that could have summoned the robots could only consume the sacrifices in vain and only summon a wisp of smoke. .
For those robots with ulterior motives, there is nothing they can do about it.
If everyone is far apart, no matter what small actions they make, if they see it, they will treat it as if they didn't see it. But since everyone is gathered together and there are so many eyes, it is naturally impossible to do anything too outrageous.
Therefore, many people focused their attention on the most conspicuous target, which was the magician's home in the holy city of Estali.
It is a pity that the magician fled to an unknown place early to take refuge, as if he knew that he would be at the center of a dispute. A person who no one dares to offend if he leaves an empty room.
Not to mention the unconfirmed former demon king, who is now a guest of the life system in the Church of Three Holy Lights; the other half of the two and a half owners of the mansion is the Marquis Balan of the Gwana Empire. , the granddaughter of the old Duke of Kawei, and the niece of the current Grand Duke of Kawei.
Who dares to offend this family?
Whether the Demon King is real or not is another matter, but the Marquise Balan is a powerful noble. Coupled with the forces behind him, provoking this person is no different from directly declaring war on a kingdom.
Therefore, after impartial people were specially allowed to enter the mansion and confirm that the target magician was not inside, no one continued to target the mansion in the holy city of Estali.
For magicians who want to make things bigger, making such compromises is not without cost. Because the Thieves Guild has made it clear that it will no longer accept any tasks related to that magician, the Magician Guild will have no choice but to do it on its own.
When you want to arrest someone in the Lost Land, your first thought is definitely not to go to the police. Instead, he relied on his own strength to break into the enemy's base camp, and then snatched the people out!
Of course the magicians want to do this too. Since direct provocation in the open is not feasible, let's do it secretly.
It's just that the magicians didn't understand why the Thieves Guild no longer accepted tasks for that person. After they lost hundreds of people who had infiltrated the mansion in just a few days, the magicians finally stopped using their methods behind the scenes.
With over a hundred elite men, no one could come out of that devil's cave. I heard that the crippled black dragon kept inside has had a lot of feasts these days.
That's it, who dares to question it?
So the matter can only be put on the table, and some connections have been found. Due to the huge pressure and the concern that people would not want to break up easily, people had to enter the mansion to confirm that the magician was really not inside.
In fact, everyone knows it well. Even if the magician is really in that home and wants to hide, who can find him?
He is good at using the flash technique and is known as the magician who is the best at escaping. Such a name does not come from nothing.
At this time, someone suggested that they go directly to the Gate of the Abyss to stop the magician from building the tower and close the Gate of the Abyss.
Lin and other people who knew the inside story of this door's effect on the World Tree and even on the Mysterious Land did not disclose it to the public.
Therefore, most people think that the door to the abyss must be closed. And the way the magician built the tower in front of the gate of the abyss also smacked of taking advantage of the devil's self-esteem, so it was particularly offensive.
For some old diehards at the top of the association, they can't beat the devil, but they are good at pointing at a young man's nose and shouting curses.
These people who are accustomed to holding great power gathered their friends and families, creating a huge momentum to denounce a certain magician. And with the call of being willing to dedicate themselves to closing the door of the abyss, it attracted more people to join.
Unfortunately, Midi is not the hometown of a certain time traveler. As the demonstrators set out one after another, the front group was shot dead by the fleet of robots hovering in the air as they approached the Gate of the Abyss, leaving no trace behind!
This caused those who were following up to stop and not dare to move forward. Even most of the crowd broke into pieces and dispersed. The fleet of robots in the sky was clearly hovering over everyone's heads, and they were not even aiming at the bombardment. Who wouldn't be afraid?
The allied forces of demons and the evil forces in the underground world did not even survive a round of bombardment by the robot fleet - most people didn't know that the robots were attacking the Lord of the Abyss after the first attack. ── time. They are not worthy of being taken seriously by the robot fleet all over the Lost Continent.
For a time, all kinds of letters were sent to various places like snowflakes. There are also many messages about the Gate of the Abyss on the forum, all of which severely condemned the magician.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as there are no substantive actions, these remarks are just used to vent dissatisfaction. It can't affect the magician who is acting recklessly, and of course it can't stop the development of things.
In a word: the magic tower is finished.
However, there is still a group of people who are in a rather awkward position. That is the civilian volunteers who joined the northern battlefield, especially the brotherhood members headed by Ezio, who came from the holy city of Estari and were educated in elementary schools.
Those old diehards who plan to go to the Gate of the Abyss to protest, although not all of them are considered "old" and hold important positions in the Magician Association, still belong to the civilian class.
There is a clear distinction between civilians and nobles, that is, the former cannot support their family's private army, while the latter can, and it is on a regular basis. Maybe some wealthy merchants will recruit them in the name of bodyguards, but these people can rarely become a prosperous community like the noble private army.
In reality, the masters of the Magician Association are very dissatisfied with the fact that someone is preparing to build a magic tower with the support of resources from the two empires. But what if they are dissatisfied? They just protest a few words, and at most they go into battle in person to point their noses at others and scold them.
But the gate of the abyss is protected by a fleet of robots in the sky. If the Magician Association wants to recruit an army to fight, it will need time and resources and money.
After all, the Magician Association does not have the size of an empire. It is unrealistic for them to immediately recruit a reorganized magician army.
Of course, it is impossible for the armies of empires, kingdoms, and nobles to respond to the requests of the Magicians Association. The positions between the two have always been antagonistic, or not so harmonious.
What's more, the two empires of Gwana and Haider support the construction of the magic tower, which is also inconsistent with the interests of the association. Of course, there is no possibility of cooperation.
But those disbanded folk warriors can cooperate!
