High Priest Poer came to a corner of the study, where there was a special small table with a rather complicated mageweath drawn on it. He then took out a few magical crystals, and placed them on the nodes of the mageweath in turn. When the last magical crystal was placed, mana began to flow rapidly along the magic circuit, and soon the entire mageweath emitted a faint magical light.
As the light of the mageweath became brighter and brighter, an illusory mirror-like light screen condensed above the mageweath. After about 10 minutes, the light screen finally changed again, and the image of a room gradually appeared. At the same time, a skinny old man also walked into the light screen.
"My friend, why did you think of contacting me today? Have you already thought of a solution to the mageweath problem we discussed last time?" asked Rosen, the deputy chairman of the Supreme Council, who was seated opposite him.
Everyone had their own circle of friends. For example, Andoine, a Legendary-mage, had a certain level of friendship with some pharmaceutics masters of the Pharmacist Guild because of his obsession with pharmaceutics. He even had some achievements in pharmaceutics in the Felan Kingdom and Ledin Kingdom, as well as some villains that ordinary people thought were heinous.
The pharmacists would often hold some gatherings to discuss problems in pharmaceutics, and so would the inscribers. Although Rosen and Poer were the deputy chairman of the Supreme Council and the high priest of the Gilded Kingdom respectively, and it seemed impossible for them to have anything to do with each other, they had a good relationship because of their common interest in inscription.
"I'm really sorry, some things have happened recently, and I'm not in the mood to study those mageweaths at all," Poer said as he shook his head with a troubled expression.
Hearing Poer's words, Rosen's heart immediately stirred. Since Poer had taken the initiative to contact him even though it was not for the sake of inscription, he clearly wanted Rosen to help him with something. High Priest Poer was a true Sanctuary powerhouse, and although Rosen would not go to the extent of deliberately currying favor with him, he still valued the friendship with a Sanctuary powerhouse.
Hence, Rosen did not think too much about it, and took the initiative to ask, "My friend, is there anything you need my help with?"
The main reason why Rosen was so straightforward was mainly because he had considered that if the task required a lot of power, a Sanctuary powerhouse would not come to him. Hence, it was likely that it was something that he could do with his own abilities, such as requiring some mageweath materials that were native to the mainland.
"Well, I heard that the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic, also known as the Tower of Dusk, is a subordinate guild of the Supreme Council. I wonder if that's the case." High Priest Poer was afraid of making a fool of himself, so he decided to clarify things first. After all, he had never heard of the Supreme Council establishing a Guild of Magic in the Breezy Plains before.
However, Rosen, who was sitting opposite the light curtain, immediately became wary when he heard Poer suddenly mention the Tower of Dusk. However, Rosen did not show anything on his face in front of his old friend. He smiled, and then said in a calm tone, "Yes, the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic is a subordinate Guild of Magic that we just established in the Breezy Plains four to five years ago."
"Oh, I see. Recently, the Gilded Kingdom has invited many forces of the Breezy Plains to celebrate the founding of the nation, including the Tower of Dusk. However, although the young President Felic of the Tower of Dusk is strong, there are some problems with his way of doing things. He got into a conflict with us over a small matter. Do you think you can remind him through the Supreme Council so that it doesn't affect the relationship between the Gilded Kingdom and the Supreme Council? " As a Sanctuary powerhouse, High Priest Poer definitely couldn't complain to Rosen directly. Hence, he beat around the bush before telling him about the matter.
In fact, High Priest Poer did not expect that President Felic of the Tower of Dusk would become servile to him after Rosen gave an order. No matter what, President Felic was also a very powerful Sanctuary powerhouse. Even if he was only the president of the Guild of Magic under the Supreme Council, he should still have a considerable status in the Supreme Council.
Hence, High Priest Poer only hoped that Rosen could put some pressure on President Felic in the name of the Supreme Council, and treat the previous matter as a misunderstanding. That way, the Gilded Kingdom would not be at a disadvantage in the future negotiations with the Tower of Dusk because of this matter. It would more or less be considered to have salvaged some of the impact.
However, Rosen's heart skipped a beat when he heard High Priest Poer's words. Rosen had now suffered enough because of Lin Li. The first time he targeted Lin Li, he made Lin Li become a high-ranking councilor of the Supreme Council, and the second time, he made Lin Li a deputy chairman who was on par with him. If he were to do it again, what position would Lin Li reach in the Supreme Council?
In particular, the three arbitrators of the Supreme Council were biased towards Lin Li, and probably everyone in the Supreme Council could tell. Hence, what Rosen was most afraid of now was to get involved with Lin Li again. If things went wrong, he might even lose his position as deputy chairman.
As soon as he heard that High Priest Poer actually wanted to use him to put pressure on President Felic of the Tower of Dusk, Rosen knew that the Gilded Kingdom and High Priest Poer had definitely suffered a great loss because of Lin Li. Otherwise, a true Sanctuary powerhouse like High Priest Poer wouldn't have lowered his pride to seek Lin Li's help.
Although Rosen and Poer were friends, it was only because of the study of inscription. It didn't mean that the two of them were really life-and-death buddies. Rosen wouldn't go so far as to risk losing his position as deputy chairman and offending the three arbitrators for Poer's sake. Besides, Lin Li was now also the deputy chairman of the Supreme Council. Since they were both deputy chairmen, what right did Rosen have to criticize him?
However, Rosen couldn't just reject Poer directly. After all, Poer was also a true Sanctuary powerhouse, and the high priest of the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, he forced a smile, and said to High Priest Poer, "Well, okay then, I'll get someone to understand the situation. By the way, I still have a meeting here. I've noted down the matter, so let's stop here for now. "
High Priest Poer didn't see anything unusual, and he didn't think that Rosen would be perfunctory with him either. In his opinion, this matter should be a piece of cake for Rosen. Hence, when he heard that Rosen had to go to a meeting, he didn't think much about it, and simply said, "Okay, I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye."
After the communication was cut off, Rosen, who was far away in the Sky Garden, didn't go to attend any meeting. Instead, he remained seated at the table and stared at the blank wall for a while. After a moment of silence, Rosen suddenly slammed the table and stood up. He cursed, "Damn it, what a joke. That kid Felic is a jinx, and I can't wait to avoid him. How can I go and seek trouble for myself!? Poer is really old and muddle-headed. Of all people, he had to provoke that jinx. He's trying to drag me down with him! "
After those lessons, Rosen didn't dare to find trouble with Lin Li at all. He would be thankful that he could keep his position as deputy chairman. He didn't want to get himself into trouble again for the sake of a mere acquaintance like High Priest Poer. By then, his life might even be in danger. Lin Li was someone that the three arbitrators valued!
However, High Priest Poer could no longer hear Rosen's complaints. Instead, he was overjoyed that the matter could finally be resolved. In his opinion, although Lin Li was very strong, it was impossible for him not to give the Supreme Council face. Besides, Lin Li was the president of the Guild of Magic under the Supreme Council, and thus had to be governed by the Supreme Council.
Hence, in the next two days, High Priest Poer could be said to be in a good mood. He even specially sent someone to keep an eye on the embassy area, and waited for the Supreme Council's envoys to arrive so that Lin Li could apologize to him for what had happened previously.
Two days later, the subordinates that were sent to keep an eye on him really came to report that the Supreme Council's envoys had arrived. As soon as he heard the news, High Priest Poer immediately got excited, and hurriedly tidied up his clothes before hurrying to meet the envoys sent by the Supreme Council with two of his followers.
Of course, High Priest Poer couldn't directly say that he was waiting for the Supreme Council to put pressure on the president of the Tower of Dusk. That would be as if he was waiting for the Supreme Council to make the decision for him. Hence, he said that because he had a close relationship with the deputy chairman of the Supreme Council, Rosen, he would personally welcome the envoys of the Supreme Council on behalf of the Gilded Kingdom.
However, when High Priest Poer arrived at the place to welcome them, he was told that the envoys of the Supreme Council had already gone to visit the president of the Tower of Dusk. That news made High Priest Poer even more certain. In his opinion, the envoys of the Supreme Council had clearly received instructions from Rosen, and had specially gone to find Lin Li to put pressure on him.
Logically speaking, at this time, High Priest Poer should have returned home with peace of mind, and waited for the envoys of the Supreme Council to bring Lin Li to apologize to him. However, High Priest Poer really couldn't wait to see Lin Li suffer a setback after suffering such a huge loss. Hence, he did not return home, and instead went to the embassy area with his two followers in a bid to see with his own eyes how helpless Lin Li would be when facing the pressure of the Supreme Council.
One should not assume that Sanctuary powerhouses should be indifferent to everything. Even deities could trigger a war between the gods because of a disagreement, let alone Sanctuary powerhouses who had yet to transcend the boundaries of human beings. In particular, High Priest Poer and Lin Li were both Sanctuary powerhouses. Although adults wouldn't be too calculative with children, they wouldn't be so magnanimous towards adults.
High Priest Poer rushed to the embassy area with his followers, and finally caught up with the envoys of the Supreme Council when they arrived in front of the embassy where Lin Li was. The envoy sent by the Supreme Council to the Gilded Kingdom this time was the senior councilor Herza, who was in charge of the external affairs of the Supreme Council. There were also several other councilors who were all Legendary-mages.
It was not Herza's first time on a diplomatic mission to the Gilded Kingdom, so High Priest Poer was no stranger to him. As soon as they met, he smiled, and said, "Councilor Herza, when I heard the people below say that the envoy of the Supreme Council had arrived, I knew that you must be the one leading the team. Why didn't you wait a little longer? I was about to bring some people to welcome you, but I didn't expect to see you there. "
"Oh, so it's you, High Priest Poer. In addition to being invited to attend your founding celebration, I also have some internal matters to discuss with President Felic of the Tower of Dusk. Hence, I heard that President Felic had already arrived long ago, so I came over first." Although Herza was only a Legendary-mage who was still infinitely far from the Sanctuary-realm, he was representing the Supreme Council at this moment. Hence, he was neither servile nor overbearing when speaking to High Priest Poer.
Hearing that Herza had some internal matters to discuss with Felic, High Priest Poer was immediately overjoyed. It seems that Rosen is really a good friend. I've just written to him about this matter two days ago, and he's already settled it!
In High Priest Poer's opinion, the Supreme Council couldn't possibly have any internal matters to discuss at this juncture. He reckoned that Rosen must have already instructed Herza to put pressure on Felic this time. Thinking that he could finally make Lin Li lower his head, High Priest Poer couldn't contain his excitement, and said, "Oh, I see, but we can't skip the welcoming ceremony. How about this, if you don't mind, I'll accompany you in first, and when you're done, I'll immediately arrange a welcoming ceremony for you and a place for you to rest. "
Seeing how enthusiastic High Priest Poer was, Herza was a little confused. It was not that he had never been to the Gilded Kingdom before, but he had never seen High Priest Poer being so enthusiastic. However, he couldn't turn down High Priest Poer's kindness. Thinking that there was nothing secretive about what he had to do, he nodded, and said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you to wait a little longer, High Priest Poer."
"It's alright, let's go in then." High Priest Poer could no longer be bothered to think about anything else now, and he was only thinking about the scene of Felic lowering his head to him.
Hence, Herza, accompanied by High Priest Poer, walked through the gate of the embassy of the Tower of Dusk. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by the servants of the embassy. Since the servants of the embassy were also from the Gilded Kingdom, they hurriedly bowed to High Priest Poer when they saw him, who was accompanying Herza, without bothering to ask what was going on.
"Okay, this is Councilor Herza, the emissary of the Supreme Council. He has something to see President Felic of the Tower of Dusk. Go and inform him," High Priest Poer said to the servants, somewhat overstepping his authority.
Herza knew that High Priest Poer had a very high status in the Gilded Kingdom, so he didn't find it strange. Seeing that the servants had already gone to inform him, he led them to find a seat in the hall to sit down and wait.
