"A large part of the reason is that the Tera Mithril, which plays a vital role in magic research, can no longer meet the needs of the Supreme Council. That has also caused the development of magic to stagnate," Rosen said, and countless councilors nodded in agreement.
At this moment, after hearing Rosen mention the Tera Mithril, Andoine immediately understood Rosen's intentions, but it was already impossible for him to stop it.
The proposal was very sudden, and Andoine was not prepared at all. He could not inform the councilors in advance. When Andoine looked around the venue and saw the expressions on the faces of the councilors, his heart sank.
Only a small portion of the councilors looked surprised, and most of them were rather elated. Clearly, Rosen had already made sufficient preparations.
Looking at the gazes that were directed at him, Lin Li did not seem angry at all. Even though Rosen's shamelessness had exceeded his imagination, so what if the proposal was passed? Was it that easy to take advantage of the Tower of Dusk?
With a smug expression on his face, Rosen cleared his throat, and continued, "The good news is that the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic has recently discovered a rich Tera Mine in the Breezy Plains. However, due to the selfishness of some people who disregarded the overall situation, they restricted the supply of Tera Ore. Such behavior has severely restricted the magic research of the Supreme Council, and is a crime against the development of magic. Hence, I suggest that the Supreme Council take over the management of the Tera Mine of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic. "
Rosen finally flashed his dagger, and the silence in the venue was instantly broken by the discussion of the councilors. However, everyone could tell that the councilors were obviously more in agreement than in doubt. Even the councilors who were initially neutral gradually became tempted by the beautiful prospects described by the people next to them.
"I think Deputy Chairman Rosen's proposal is indeed very beneficial to the development of the Supreme Council. The Supreme Council is the pioneer of human magic civilization, and the development of the Supreme Council is undoubtedly the development of human magic civilization. Hence, the Tera Mine can only be fully managed by the Supreme Council in order to maximize its role and promote the development of human magic civilization. " Hubert, who was Rosen's loyal follower, also stood up to express his opinion.
There was a reason why there were no Guilds of Magic in the Breezy Plains for more than 1,300 years. When the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic was first established, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was struggling to survive. Almost no one was optimistic about its development prospects, and they even doubted how long it could exist.
Under Lin Li's management, the fact that the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic, or rather, the Tower of Dusk, could develop to such an extent was already beyond everyone's imagination. It was impossible not to be jealous. However, due to the fact that the location of the Tower of Dusk was relatively far away from the so-called magic center, the other Guilds of Magic had almost no chance to interact with the Tower of Dusk. Hence, they could only be jealous.
Now, Rosen's proposal had undoubtedly provided an opportunity for them. That was the mentality of some people. If they couldn't get better, they couldn't let others get better. Hence, some councilors who were originally neutral also quickly joined Rosen's side, and even began to calculate the distribution of the future, in the name of common development.
"I think Deputy Chairman Rosen's proposal seems to be a little inappropriate. The Tera Mine was discovered and developed by President Felic of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic, and the ownership should belong to the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic. Besides, President Felic has also been selflessly providing a large amount of Tera Mithril for the Supreme Council, which is already a great contribution to the Supreme Council. Not only is there no reward for such a great contribution, but you even want to deprive us of all the ownership of the mine. That's really disappointing. " Seeing that the discussion in favor of the proposal was getting more and more heated, Aldwin finally couldn't help but question the proposal.
Ever since the exploration of Osric's mausoleum, Aldwin had already had a great opinion of Rosen. If Rosen hadn't resorted to those tricks without authorization, the mages of the Alanna Guild of Magic wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss. Although the Supreme Council had given them some compensation later on, the nurturing of talents could not be done overnight, and the mages had yet to recover.
Hence, Aldwin was rather disgusted by Rosen's behavior of using the name of the Supreme Council to suppress dissidents for his own personal gain. Besides, Rosen was now targeting Lin Li, who was Aldwin's student. No matter what, Aldwin couldn't possibly remain silent at this juncture.
"President Aldwin, you're wrong to say that. As a councilor of the Supreme Council, you should consider things from the perspective of the interests of the Supreme Council, and not be calculative about personal gains and losses."
The one who spoke was Leddings, who had just reached an agreement with Rosen. Since he had already decided to side with Rosen, of course he had to show enough sincerity. Hence, he stood up with a solemn expression, and said, "Everyone knows that the large and small forces of the Breezy Plains are complicated, and the news of the discovery of the Tera Mine can't be kept a secret for too long. Once the ancient local forces find out, the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic might not be able to keep the Tera Mine. Hence, out of this consideration, I also think that the Tera Mine should be taken over by the Supreme Council. "
Leddings' words made the councilors nod repeatedly. Although the Breezy Plains was theoretically still part of the Felan Kingdom, it was still too far away from the traditional Guilds of Magic, after all. Hence, the news naturally couldn't be delivered in a timely manner. However, even if they received the news in time, they probably wouldn't believe that a Guild of Magic that had just been established for a few years would be able to make so many powerful forces of the Breezy Plains submit.
The Tera Mine was enough to make any force go crazy. In the opinion of many people, whether the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic had the ability to keep the Tera Mine was indeed a question that they had to consider. If it were the Supreme Council, no force in the entire Anril would dare to covet the Tera Mine, let alone the Breezy Plains.
"Yes, there's a reason why a place like the Breezy Plains is known as the Land of Chaos. If the news of the Tera Mine leaks out, it might bring disaster to the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic. It's better to leave it to the Supreme Council."
"Indeed, I initially thought that Deputy Chairman Rosen might have some selfish motives, but it seems that I haven't considered it thoroughly enough."
"Actually, this matter should be considered a good thing for the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic. What do you think? If this proposal is to be voted on, I think I'll vote in favor. "
Even if it was out of consideration for fairness, a few neutral councilors couldn't help but be inclined towards Rosen's proposal. Besides, in their opinion, the Tera Mine might even bring disaster to the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic. Hence, the proposal to hand over the Tera Mine to the Supreme Council would not only not harm the interests of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic, but also help them resolve the crisis.
"What kind of logic is this? I suspect that you can't protect your property, so you put it in my pocket? You're afraid that the Tera Mine will cause the other forces of the Breezy Plains to fight for it, so you want the Supreme Council to take over it? This reason is simply ridiculous. According to this reason, as the President of the Guild of Magic, shouldn't the property and resources of your respective guilds also be taken over by the Supreme Council? " Macklin sneered furiously as he glanced at the faces of the clamoring councilors. He did not hide the sarcasm in his tone at all.
"Councilor Macklin, please don't change the topic. You should be very clear about the value of the Tera Mine. It's far from what ordinary resources can compare to. The Supreme Council has the ability to turn the value of the Tera Mine into a driving force for the development of magic civilization, and the results of magic research will also be taught to the various Guilds of Magic. Isn't that a good thing for everyone? "
Faced with Macklin's accusation, Leddings did not show any weakness at all. In the past, he definitely wouldn't have dared to do that, but now that he had Deputy Chairman Rosen backing him up, he naturally had nothing to fear.
Before Macklin could retort, another high-ranking councilor stood up. He had a head full of white hair and a face full of wrinkles. His face was expressionless as he said in a hoarse voice, "Councilor Macklin, Councilor Aldwin, please watch your words. You've been emphasizing snatching and possession. Do you think the Supreme Council is a robber!? The Supreme Council is the leader of all Guilds of Magic, and every Guild of Magic is established with the support of the Supreme Council. Without the Supreme Council, there wouldn't be any Guilds of Magic. Isn't the establishment of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic an opportunity that the Supreme Council fought for? The Guild of Magic should be proud to contribute to the Supreme Council! "
That high-ranking councilor was the President of the Geresco City Guild of Magic, Legendary-mage Canuman. Geresco City had a great relationship with the God of Mages, Geresco City. It was said to be the place where the God of Mages was born.
Legend had it that when the Supreme Council chose the location of the headquarters of the Guild of Magic, Geresco City was once Alanna's strongest competitor. Besides, there were many people who supported Geresco City at that time, and even the three arbitrators were optimistic about Geresco City. After all, the Supreme Council was established by Geresco.
However, Geresco, the God of Mages, still chose Alanna as the location of the headquarters of the Guild of Magic.
However, as the birthplace of the God of Mages, the Geresco City Guild of Magic still had a rather high status in the Supreme Council. The Alanna Guild of Magic and the Geresco City Guild of Magic were even known as the two major magic capitals of the Felan Kingdom.
