The Glittergold Trade Union and the Tower of Dusk had always been the closest partners, and it would be impossible for the Glittergold Trade Union not to notice the various forces that had been suppressing the Tower of Dusk during this period of time. If it were an ordinary force, the Glittergold Trade Union would definitely be able to settle it. However, the Mithril Alliance, the Blood Moon Clan, and the Caesar Family were the three major forces of the Breezy Plains, and all of them had strength and status that were not inferior to the Glittergold Trade Union. Although Hoffman was the President of the Glittergold Trade Union, he did not have the final say in the huge business empire. Besides, as a business organization, the most important rule of survival was not to get involved in any conflicts between forces.
In fact, there had been many people in the Glittergold Trade Union who wanted to take the opportunity to annex the Tower of Dusk. All Hoffman could do was use his identity as the President to suppress those voices. However, if the Tower of Dusk was divided by the three major forces in the end, Hoffman's status in the Glittergold Trade Union would probably be affected to a certain extent.
The Ashen Warlock was the god of the Breezy Plains, and those that could be valued by him would definitely have a promising future, even if they were insignificant. Hence, when he heard that the Ashen Warlock seemed to be taking Lin Li seriously, Hoffman was indescribably excited. As the closest partner of the Tower of Dusk, the better the Tower of Dusk developed, the more benefits the Glittergold Trade Union would naturally obtain. The more benefits the Glittergold Trade Union could obtain, the more stable Hoffman's position in the Glittergold Trade Union would naturally be.
After Lin Li greeted him, the Ashen Warlock revealed a rare smile on his face, and nodded slightly at Lin Li before turning his head to look at Joseph, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs. He calmly said, "Go ahead."
Although the Mithril Alliance was not the strongest force in the Breezy Plains, it had always been the representative of many forces in gatherings as it was the one with the longest history. Joseph was actually shocked by the Ashen Warlock's words, but he did not have much time to think about it at this moment. Hence, he bowed to the Ashen Warlock respectfully, and stood up to report what had happened in the Breezy Plains in the past three years.
The open space in front of the tower was silent, and only Joseph's report to the Ashen Warlock could be heard. No one made a single noise, and even everyone's breathing had slowed down a lot. The Ashen Warlock stood quietly on the steps while holding his staff. There was no expression on his face, and no one could tell if he was listening to Joseph's report.
In fact, in just three short years, not much happened in the Breezy Plains that was worth mentioning due to the deterrence of the Ashen Warlock. As Joseph spoke, he finally talked about the Tower of Dusk. The rise of the Tower of Dusk was indeed a major event that shocked the entire Breezy Plains. However, this kind of thing naturally had a different meaning when it came from Joseph's mouth.
"The Breezy Plains Guild of Magic, which is also known as the Tower of Dusk, often had conflicts with some of the surrounding forces when it was first established. In fact, after killing the leader of the Syer Bandits, they brazenly led their men to attack the stronghold of the Syer Bandits, and killed all the old, weak, sick, and disabled people in the stronghold who could no longer pose a threat to them …" Joseph played a petty trick at the beginning, and did not directly refer to the Tower of Dusk as the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic. He focused on the Tower of Dusk's identity as an outsider and their relationship with the Supreme Council.
"… There was a fierce battle between the Tower of Dusk and the Dark Blade that lasted for several months, causing the residents of Doland to tremble in fear. After Felic, the President of the Tower of Dusk returned, he did not make any attempt to reconcile, and instead brazenly killed the leader of the Dark Blade and all the members of the Dark Blade who escaped. Afterwards, under the leadership of Felic, the Tower of Dusk began to brutally suppress the forces in Doland and the surrounding areas, and all those who opposed were killed … "Joseph did not fabricate things that were not beneficial to the Tower of Dusk. What he said was actually the truth, but he changed the focus slightly. He did not mention what the Dark Blade and the other forces had done to the Tower of Dusk, and instead tried his best to exaggerate the tragic state of the Dark Blade and the other forces.
While speaking, Joseph stole a glance at the Ashen Warlock. Although he saw that the Ashen Warlock was indifferent, he felt more and more at ease. Of course, he knew that those things were not enough to anger the Ashen Warlock. In fact, given the Ashen Warlock's level, there was probably nothing that could really make him angry. However, Joseph was extremely confident that he could gradually form a direction for those things.
When the Tower of Dusk was weak, there would be some conflicts with the surrounding small forces, and there would be endless conflicts with the Syer Bandits. After the Tower of Dusk became stronger, there would be a fierce battle with the Dark Blade, and they even subdued the forces in Doland and the surrounding areas. Now, the influence of the Tower of Dusk had almost expanded to the entire Breezy Plains. If they were to cause any more trouble, the entire Breezy Plains would probably not be peaceful. Didn't the Ashen Warlock like peace and quiet? Since the Tower of Dusk was such a troublemaker, it would sooner or later disrupt the peace of the Breezy Plains. Would he still allow the Tower of Dusk to continue to exist?
Joseph's narration was extremely sensational, and he made the enemies that the Tower of Dusk had dealt with seem like weaklings who could not protect themselves despite being bullied and humiliated. He also made the Tower of Dusk into a bully that would fight with them for the slightest displeasure.
Norfeller and Ujfalusi, who were behind Lin Li, still had human emotions although they were Undead creatures. Hearing Joseph's distorted words, the two Undead servants were so infuriated that their bodies trembled slightly, and they wished they could rush forward and tear his mouth apart. Norfeller's hands would touch the dagger at his waist from time to time, while Ujfalusi also began to rub the Bone Staff in his hand.
Hoffman, who was initially happy for Lin Li, couldn't help but begin to worry again after hearing Joseph's narration. What Hoffman was worried about was not Joseph's distortion of the truth. He was well aware that good and evil could not affect the will of the Ashen Warlock, just like how no one would care about the reason for a fight between insignificant beings. However, the Ashen Warlock needed to maintain peace in the Breezy Plains, and those who broke the peace, regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, would be going against his will, and would receive the same punishment.
The leaders of the other forces did not expect Joseph to be able to tell such a story, but they were not worried. Although the Breezy Plains was not small, the resources that could be provided were still limited, after all. The sudden addition of a foreign force like the Tower of Dusk would definitely squeeze the resources that belonged to the other local forces.
When the Tower of Dusk had yet to mature, the situation was not obvious. After all, a small amount of resources that the top forces leaked out would be enough for a small force to survive for a long time. However, the Tower of Dusk only took two to three years to develop to a scale that was not inferior to those top forces. In this way, the resources that the Tower of Dusk snatched from them would be very considerable. That was precisely the reason that once the Mithril Alliance took the lead, those forces immediately put aside their prejudices and started to suppress the Tower of Dusk.
However, just now, Hoffman revealed that the Brilliance Shrine seemed to have a close relationship with the Tower of Dusk, and there were even rumors that the Holy Paladins had appeared in the Tower of Dusk. Although they were the leaders of the top forces of the Breezy Plains, they were far inferior to the Brilliance Shrine. If the Tower of Dusk really had the support of the Brilliance Shrine, they would have to reconsider how they should treat the Tower of Dusk.
However, Joseph's narration had already made everyone realize the beauty of it, and they reckoned that he might really be able to persuade the Ashen Warlock to take action. Even if the Tower of Dusk really had the support of the Brilliance Shrine, the Brilliance Shrine would probably have to admit that they were unlucky given the Ashen Warlock's terrifying strength. Hence, at this moment, everyone couldn't help but gloat over the Tower of Dusk's misfortune.
Some were angry, some were worried, and some were gloating. Among everyone present, only Lin Li and the Ashen Warlock who was standing on the steps remained unchanged from the beginning to the end.
"Clearly, the Tower of Dusk has become a huge tumor in the Breezy Plains, and a black sheep that has destroyed the stability and order of the Breezy Plains. Hence, on behalf of the Mithril Alliance, the Blood Moon Clan, and the Caesar Family, I'm asking for your permission to get rid of the Tower of Dusk from the Breezy Plains. " After listing the crimes of the Tower of Dusk, Joseph made a request to the Ashen Warlock on behalf of the three major forces of the Breezy Plains.
At this moment, the originally quiet space suddenly seemed to have frozen. It was the first time that the three major forces — the Mithril Alliance, the Blood Moon Clan, and the Caesar Family — had jointly made a request, and they could represent the entire Breezy Plains. Although the Ashen Warlock was above all the forces of the Breezy Plains, he had no choice but to treat the request of the three major forces seriously.
Firstly, they had violated the Ashen Warlock's taboo, and secondly, the three major forces had jointly requested to expel the Tower of Dusk. It seemed that the Tower of Dusk was really doomed this time! Everyone turned to look at Lin Li and the others who had already been sentenced to death, gloating over their misfortune.
Although the Tower of Dusk had only been established for more than two to three years, the wealth they had amassed was rather enviable. Even if most of the wealth was eventually divided up by the three major forces, the remaining forces would still be able to get a considerable sum of money. Under such temptation, the leaders of the other forces also stood up one after another, and echoed the suggestion of the three major forces righteously, asking the Ashen Warlock to expel the Tower of Dusk.
