He took the wine glass and sat back to his seat: "Come on, it's time to eat."
Turning around, Luo Di found that the hotel manager was standing still with a look of embarrassment on his face. He frowned and said, "What? What did you not understand?"
"I, I...understand, I'll pass on your opinion!"
He was about to cry when he said this, because it was completely tantamount to offending a group of powerful MPs and the speaker...
"Wait," Roddy stopped him, and the latter stopped with surprise, thinking that he had finally changed his mind. Unexpectedly, while pouring wine for Akasha, Rody said slowly: "I didn't say any 'opinion'. My answer is the sentence just now. You don't need to change a single word, understand?"
Seeing the hotel manager leaving without tears, Rody smiled and said to Houdini, "What? Are you afraid that I'll mess it up?"
"Although I really don't want to admit it, I still have to say..." Houdini took a sip of his wine and let out a sharp breath: "It's so damn cool to be able to deflate the entire council with confidence!"
The laughter on the wine table naturally did not spread outside the hotel. But it is an obvious fact: after hearing the reply from the hotel manager, all the congressmen were a little bit helpless...
"Arrogance!"
"Who gave him the guts? He can do such a thing as rejecting the entire parliament. Has he still taken Rahiman seriously?!"
"But the problem is..." Speaker Jeremy pressed his hands down, calmly narrating a fact: "Before today, we didn't take him seriously."
"..."
During the awkward silence, most people turned their eyes to the dean of Brenka Academy. The latter looked down at the ostrich on the ground, looking like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, which made people feel speechless.
Fortunately, Rody didn't forget to give them some sweets after hitting them with a stick. Erwin and others who were blocking the door turned around and left after receiving the notice, and only guarded the entrance on the first floor. So a group of councilors finally got into the courtyard of the hotel, and they didn't expect to talk to Roddy anymore. They all rushed to the "Firebolt" without any image, and pouted their buttocks to observe closely.
The hotel manager stood aside dumbfounded. Just the day before, he was still laughing in his heart that the thing that Rody made was a joke, but now, seeing the chairman, he can't wait to lie on the ground and watch the structure of the site. This thing... seems very powerful?
"This... this is really cobalt gold!"
"I*!"
When someone discovered the material of the pure blue suspension structure of the "Firebolt", at least three people cursed at the same time, and even a person as calm as Speaker Jeremy stood dumbfounded for a long time. Then they discovered that the "suspension" "Not only the rear wheels, the shock absorbing structure of the front wheels is also two cylindrical cobalt gold cylinders. Just looking at it this way, the "Firebolt" car uses at least 12 kilograms of cobalt gold!
You must know that the magic circle of a small floating tower can only use up to 150 kilograms, but right now this "Firebolt" is only used to build three floating suspensions, and so much cobalt gold is used extravagantly... All mages think A word emerged collectively: Prodigal!
However, after sighing in this way, they also realized a fact: this kind of extremely rare material in Rahiman may not be a rare item for Karen Kingdom.
Maybe...the Karen Kingdom doesn't lack such minerals at all?
There was no mage from Balenna among the congressmen who came here, so they all discussed happily: Obviously, the monopoly of the "cobalt gold mine" can really be broken!
Lenovo’s practice of selling cobalt gold mines at “1 gold coin per kilogram” now everyone understands that this is completely because the envoys of the Karen Kingdom deliberately slapped 40,000 gold coins in the front and sold 8 kilograms, and then dumped 1 gold coin and 1 kilogram. Karen Kingdom It is self-evident who it is aimed at.
"Thanks for not fighting with Rotika, otherwise I wouldn't have vomited blood..."
The dean of Morphant College sighed in a low voice, and there was an echoing voice from around, "Mr. Rotika really deserved it.
Once the days of monopolizing the cobalt gold mine are over, this guy will probably be persuaded to leave the parliament soon. "
"It's not a good experience to spend 40,000 gold coins in vain. The dissatisfaction within the academy must not be suppressed."
"He proposed all the proposals at the beginning, and he has been offending the messenger... If we don't come up with an explanation, it may be difficult for us to discuss face-to-face with the messenger? Today he even drove the 'enforcer' to oppress The Messenger Council of the Karen Kingdom cannot allow such people who ignore the law to exist!"
At such times, the "late" justice will come to everyone, as if they have always been like this before.
"By the way, isn't Houdini from the Brenka Academy? He should help us save the relationship as much as possible. Why can't we find anyone at this time?"
This discussion finally made everyone turn their attention to the dean of Brenka again. As a result, after learning the news of Houdini's relegation, everyone's face became gloomy like Jeremy's back then...
It's over if you offend one person, and even your own people are thrown out as abandoned children. Isn't this digging a hole by yourself and jumping in?
"Well, it's useless to say these things now. What we need to care about is probably not just the cobalt gold mine."
During the silence, Speaker Jeremy interrupted their words. He pointed to the heat dissipation gap of the car shell above the rear wheel of the "Firebolt", "From here, you can see the sixteen spars inside, the volume, color and shape are exactly the same as the four at the auction house's finale... "
"hiss"
All the old guys suddenly took a collective breath... Just now they said that Rotika was stupid, and he was tricked by the Karen Kingdom. Now I look at it, except for the Brenka Academy, no one has escaped!
The five colleges bought four crystals with nearly 100,000 gold coins. Including the 8 kg of cobalt gold, a total of 140,000 gold coins fell into the pocket of the ambassador of the Karen Kingdom. .
And they suffered such a big loss that they didn't even have the chance to go in and see Rody.
"Who said he was a bumpkin nouveau riche? Isn't that too cruel?!"
"Tell me! Did your Brenka Academy collude with him long ago?"
Several upright magisters couldn't help cursing, but Jeremy and the others looked at the "Firebolt" in front of them and couldn't help sighing that it was easy for the relationship to deteriorate, but it was too difficult to repair it. No matter how they try to restore their relationship with the Karen Kingdom, they have already fallen into a disadvantage...
*****
While a group of members of the House of Representatives were busy observing the "Firebolt", the atmosphere in Ballenna Academy was almost frozen.
The news of the mass sale of "Cobalt Gold Mine" has spread all over the streets and alleys. After half a day of verification, it has been basically confirmed that the ores sold by the Karen Kingdom on Breakers Avenue are all real!
Moreover, the quality of these ores is exactly the same as the ones Mr. Rotika bought for 40,000 gold coins at the auction!
Five hundred kilograms of cobalt-gold ore were snapped up within a few hours, and news of the cobalt-gold ore being resold immediately appeared on the black market. After all, those simple second-hand dealers didn't keep these things for experimentation at all. As of ten minutes after dinner, the price of cobalt gold mines sold on the black market has soared to 20,000 gold coins per kilogram...
Logically speaking, it sounds nonsense to directly multiply the value of 1 gold coin by 20,000 times, but cobalt gold mine, a precious resource that Rahiman will never sell on the market, no one knows whether it will be like today in the future Selling like this for no money.
More than half of the people who bought cobalt-gold mines held their own and would not sell them, and the remaining dealers almost doubled the unit price of the auction. It is "cash" and cannot be installed in installments. If installments were accepted during the auction, the price may soar to tens of thousands of gold coins per kilogram.
But now cobalt gold mines are suddenly "saturated" in the market, resulting in inflated and unstable prices. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that... this exaggerated price will drop rapidly tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and will soon stabilize at a low point. It's just that the current situation is really not optimistic for Barrenna College.
When the monopoly is broken, it is like a gap in the dam, which means that the next thing we will face is a crisis of total collapse.
"Lord Rotika, the vice presidents of the college are already waiting for you in the conference hall."
Rotika, who was standing like a sculpture, finally came back to his senses. He walked into the conference room with a dull expression, and then he felt that he was greeted by a violent storm...
The forcible use of 40,000 gold coins already had sequelae, and when it rebounded in a more violent form, Rotika suddenly suffered unimaginable pressure. Almost all the vice presidents made requests to let him withdraw from the council...
Management within the college will only represent the interests of the college itself. When Rotika's behavior deviates from this point and may cause damage to the interests of the students, he immediately becomes the target of "losing the car to protect the handsome".
From this point of view, the choice of the management of Barrenna Academy is exactly the same as the choice of the Brenka Academy for Houdini.
In the face of interests, there is no sympathy, not even basic courtesy. If it wasn't for the Dean's forceful suppression of the request to be dismissed by voting on the spot, it is estimated that Rotika would be directly deprived of his seat in the parliament today!
"We all know that cobalt gold mines cannot be monopolized for a long time. Over the years, we have relied on it to have more than expected benefits, so breaking the monopoly is not a bad thing."
Dean Lacio obviously saw further: "Do you think that if this monopoly continues, the council will really sit idly by? Really wait until the other five colleges unite to deal with us, how many people sitting here dare to Stand up and take responsibility?"
He nodded at the table: "As soon as something happens, I want to throw the pot away quickly. Who of you can compare to the contribution that Mr. Rotika has made to the academy? Voting is pretty tricky now, isn't it?"
The dean's words stabilized the tense atmosphere. Rotika cast a grateful look at him, but she also knew that she had to stand up now, so she quickly got up and said: "The appearance of cobalt gold mines on the market means that The other party came prepared. We don’t know exactly how much they have in stock, but what is certain is that...after the parliament notices their existence, it is no longer realistic to sell cobalt gold mines.”
"In other words, we still have time. Whether it is to deal with, deal with or compromise, we must first see what their attitude is."
Rotika's ability to become a core member of parliament has a first-class sense of smell and means, so he analyzed it rationally, and finally got the mages present to collectively accept his plan. It wasn't until the dean announced the end of the meeting that he sat back weakly in his seat and wanted to pick up the water glass to drink, but Luotika found that his hands were actually shaking violently.
This is not because of fear, but because of anger and unwillingness.
The envoy of the Karen Kingdom came out, directly touched the "high-tension line" of Balenna, and at the same time forced Rotika to a corner. Don't look at what he just said to "negotiate and discuss", in fact he is very Clearly...the other party probably won't give me this chance at all!
From the very beginning of the whole incident, he was pulling the banner to embarrass Rody everywhere. If the only solution is to bow his head and beg for Rody's forgiveness... then he might as well kill Rodika!
So for Rotika, there is actually only one choice.
The only thing missing is the right timing.

On October 6th, the "Twilight Autumn Crown" competition continued.
The news that the record of the "Duriel Ring Rally" was greatly broken has attracted widespread attention, and the name "Karen Kingdom" has also entered the field of vision of most people for the first time. And when they paid attention to the players from this country in the arena, they suddenly realized... This country, which seems to have few players participating, is far stronger than imagined!
In all competitions involving physical strength, the championship is basically won by a guy named "Erwin" in this country.
To exaggerate, even the top three and four are players from Karen Kingdom.
And today, the competition on the racetrack is also surprising. The Bindu players who basically covered the term "equestrian" in the previous sessions are indistinguishable from the knights of the Karen Kingdom!
The fierce competition made the spectators soar and attracted bursts of cheers, but in the end the championship was won by the little Khan Duke of Bindu, and Davidian was second or third with his comrades by a slight margin.
Davidan also had to accept this little khan's equestrian skills in his heart. Although the "Dragonlance Knight" had the best treatment and high-intensity training, there was still a gap between them and this race that grew up on horseback. But they didn't take the first place and they didn't have any pressure, because Luo Di asked them to compete for the purpose of "relaxing".
After the game, Davidian didn't forget to go up and chat for a few words, and Little Khan was very nervous before, for fear of losing the championship if he couldn't win the championship. Now that he got his wish, his mood improved a lot. Although he is hostile to the Karen Kingdom, he also respects the strong. Therefore, they did not reject David's conversation, and after a few brief conversations, the two parties dispersed.
In another arena, Nai Fei easily entered the final, and defeated his opponent neatly, and won the puppet championship of the current group. (to be continued..)
