They wanted to retort, but they felt as if something was stuck in their throats. They were all reasonable mages, and the match just now had clearly shown one thing: compared to the "firebolts", the puppets that were said to represent Lachman's top-notch magic were really trash.
What was wrong with them saying that "Lachman was just so-so"?
The reason why the Parliament had voted not to meet the messenger of the Kingdom of Karen was that the Kingdom of Karen's magic level was too low, and it was not worth the effort.
But now, it seemed that in the eyes of the Kingdom of Karen, Lachman was the one who was "not worth the effort"...
Disregarding the prize money, flowers, and honor, and driving away after breaking the record for an hour. Who could not understand the meaning behind this? The councilors who had voted for it looked at each other, but in the end, no one could come up with an effective plan. The mages who were not young felt their faces burning. They stood there, as if they had been hit by a stick, and did not say a word.
"The messenger of the Kingdom of Karen may have some misunderstandings about us. This will take time to resolve. So, next, we still have to finish the match."
President Jeremy could only come up with a temporary plan. But before the Parliament members could agree, a red triangle signal came from the distant sky and completely interrupted the match.
"This is the second time. The 'law enforcement team' is calling for help. The situation is not right!"
At this time, there was no time for discussion. The powerful mages of the academy immediately responded. All the battle-type mages immediately cast the "levitation spell" and rushed in the direction of the signal without saying a word. The deans who stayed behind continued to host the match and maintain order in the arena.
Among those who flew to the scene of the incident, President Lotica was the most nervous. In order to prevent the public sale of cobalt, he had already informed the "law enforcement team" in advance. So, now that the "law enforcement team" suddenly sent out two signals for help, there was a 90% chance that the cobalt mine had something to do with it!
Although Lotica was wearing formal attire for watching the match, the accessories and scrolls he had on him were real weapons used in actual combat. As for those who dared to sell the cobalt mine, he indeed had the intention of "silencing" them.
However, when he was the first to arrive at Breks Avenue, all he saw was a group of red-robed law enforcers who were locked in place and struggling non-stop.
Merinsala and the others had long since packed up and left. The various drug dealers and mages who had participated in the panic buying earlier were nowhere to be seen. More than half of the originally bustling street had closed for the day. None of the thirty-odd red-robed enforcers were injured or killed, but they had all lost their ability to move. This scene sent a chill down Lotica's spine. Even he didn't think that he could handle so many 'enforcers' who specialized in combat.
It took him a long time to dispel the imprisonment spell that Merlinsera had cast. However, the news that he received made him feel like he was going to faint!
"You said they sold a cart full of cobalt?! One gold coin for one kilogram?! "
Lotica's lips trembled as he grabbed the mage's collar. The latter pointed to the surrounding shops. "I don't know if it's true or not, but they've all bought it …"
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lotica swung his wand and the door of 'Rebs's Fever Crystal Shop' was blasted open. The trembling shop assistant hid behind the counter in fear. In the face of the Chief Councilor of Ballenner Academy, the store manager and the shop assistant didn't dare to play any tricks. They immediately took out the two pieces of cobalt they had just bought.
It would have been better if they hadn't taken them out. As soon as they took them out, Lotica almost vomited blood!
This was because the smelted purity and shape of the cobalt were exactly the same as the large piece he had spent 40000 gold coins to buy a few days ago!
"Who?! Who the hell dares to openly sell strategic resources here?! "
He turned and rushed out of the shop to ask the 'enforcer'. However, the answer he received stunned him on the spot.
"They say that they are emissaries of the Kingdom of Karen and that they are also selling specialties of the Kingdom of Karen —"
"The Kingdom of Karen? Isn't Roddy, who has just won the championship, from the Kingdom of Karen? "
The other councilors who arrived one after another heard this and started discussing among themselves. Lotica stood there, feeling dizzy. He knew very well that the moment Roddy won the championship and became the focus of all the academies in Lassiman, he could no longer deal with him as he pleased.
The 'Kingdom of Karen' had already stood in the spotlight. At this time, the emissary of this country could not be allowed to make any mistakes.
What made Lotica even more desperate was that Ballenner Academy's control over the cobalt mines was too overbearing. It had already caused strong dissatisfaction among the other academies. At this moment, if the Kingdom of Karen really had a large amount of cobalt mines to sell, then the other five academies would definitely stand on the side of the Kingdom of Karen. He would be powerless to stop them!
"It can't be theirs. Houdini didn't write cobalt mines on the goods list at all."
Lotica felt his head buzzing. The law enforcers who had been imprisoned in his field of vision had finally broken free with the help of the councilors. However, they all pointed out one fact in unison: the sorcerer of the Kingdom of Karen was very powerful. He could handle all of them by himself.
However, this matter could not be compared to the news of "half a ton of cobalt mines sold out." After the five councilors quickly figured out the reason for the delay, they tacitly did not shout words such as "seek justice for the law enforcers." Instead, they turned their eyes to the silent Lotica.
"Councilor Lotica, we would like to know. Why would the law enforcers forcibly deal with the sales of the Kingdom of Karen when there was no approval from the council?"
"Letting the law enforcers bully the emissaries of other countries without authorization? Don't they need approval from the council for this kind of thing?"
The speaker had naturally forgotten that he had voted for the law enforcers to "bully" the Kingdom of Karen. However, at this time, for the sake of the cobalt mines, who would care about such details?
"There's no need to ask questions here. If you have anything to say, go to the council."
President Jeremy gave Lotica a deep look. "See you in half an hour at the first conference hall in Colomier."

"The competition isn't as difficult as I thought! Those guys were a little slow in their control. I could easily find an opportunity. "
Naify's crisp voice echoed on the street. At this moment, she was talking to Akasha about the "Construct Puppet semi-final" she had participated in today. Although the opponent this time was called the "Seed Player" of Moffett Academy, the result was almost the same as before. The "Construct Puppet Type III", which had a rechargeable crystal, dismantled the cool guy on the spot. It was a shocking scene.
"I don't think the semi-final will be very difficult. I don't think it'll be a problem for you to win the championship."
Akasha looked ahead. "But I'm curious about Merlinsera. Letting the Dragons pull the cart to buy things, Roddy really thought of that …"
"It must be smooth. Sister Merlinsera has already gone back."
Naify pointed to the top floor of the hotel. Her eyes could distinguish the conspicuous energy blob, so she could naturally identify Merlinsera's location.
But after turning the corner and walking on the road in front of the hotel, Akasha suddenly frowned. Because she saw the figures in gauze clothes surrounding the entrance again.
