New Tylte, Mitchell Mage Tower. For three consecutive days, the conference hall was filled with arguments. During this period, Grand Sorcerer Demain even left the meeting angrily. Currently, the two groups of people had their own opinions, and no one could convince the other. However, everyone knew that this situation would not last long. During this period, the president of the Magic Association, Da Vinci, had not spoken a word. He just sat there quietly, as if everything before him had nothing to do with him.
However, no one would think that he really did not care. Otherwise, he would not have specially attended this meeting.
In recent years, Da Vinci rarely appeared in front of the public. Basically, he had shifted his focus to research. However, his influence in the Magic Association did not diminish. He was younger than Steins by more than ten years, but he was one of the first to step into the ninth level. He was young, strong, and intelligent. After taking over as the president, he implemented a series of reforms. The previous 100-member council was reduced to a 13-member council, and now, it had shrunk to nine members. This greatly increased the efficiency of crisis response. After that, he increased the investment in the Academy of Magic, re-approved and published new teaching materials. He also had a set of combined economic measures, which increased the total income by nearly 40%.
However, when his prestige was at its peak, Da Vinci suddenly announced that he would be presiding over a large-scale research project. He gave up most of the power in his hands. Although he still had the title of president, he was actually in a semi-retired state. However, his prestige was still there. Therefore, everyone knew that once he spoke, the final result would be decided.
At this moment, Da Vinci was drinking freshly ground coffee, listening to the debate on the table. However, he seemed to be distracted.
It was already the morning of the fourth day. As usual, there was no progress in the meeting. However, everyone's position was basically determined. When it was almost noon, Da Vinci put down his cup and suggested, "Why don't we take a break first?" Seeing that no one objected, he turned to look at Steins. "Let's go out for some fresh air?"
Everyone in the conference hall looked at Arbus. Everyone knew that Arbus and Steins did not get along. The two of them had been at loggerheads during this meeting. Now that Da Vinci had asked Arbus to go for a walk, everyone was guessing what this meant for the final result. However, Arbus' face was expressionless.
Steins nodded and walked down the magic tower with Da Vinci.
As the two of them passed through the garden, Da Vinci turned around and said, "Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a hundred years since Archmage Mitchell passed away. Just based on his achievements in the field of magic veins, he is already ranked among the top fifty in history. Not to mention, he also created two Tier 9 Water Spells. In addition, he also made a breakthrough in the field of Magic Pets. In the past two hundred years, no one has been able to surpass him. Moreover, before Senior Mitchell passed away, he even donated his Magic Tower to the Association. It can be said that he gave his all.
"The world after death has nothing to do with us, and even if we enter the Top 50, so what? As long as magic is still developing, this list will always be updated. There will always be new people entering and old people coming out."
"You're right. However, no matter how the list changes, that disciple of yours will always have a place on it." This was the first time Da Vinci took the initiative to mention anything related to Rob.
"Mana sharing mechanism," Da Vinci praised. "Although it is not as good as Roland, it is not far from it. He is not even 22 years old this year, and your prophecy is about to come true. If he is allowed to continue developing like this, who knows how far he will go in the future? In short, he will go further than any of us. "
Steins's heart sank. Although Da Vinci was praising Rob, Steins could hear a trace of regret in his tone.
Sure enough, Da Vinci changed the topic and sighed. "However, the premise is that there is a future for mankind."
"President, do you also believe in the words of the Temple?"
"I didn't really believe it at first, but your disciple's discovery just happened to support Vennar the Fifth's words. I don't know if you have ever thought of a question, if the Holy Power and magic are of the same origin, why would it be split into two parts?"
Steins thought of a certain answer, and his heart was filled with a bone-chilling cold.
Da Vinci pointed to the top of his head and said calmly, "Someone doesn't want us to go too far."
After the President of the Magic Association said this, the sunlight that fell on them seemed to become colder.
Da Vinci continued, "The Magic Association needs to be responsible for the fate of the entire human race. Now, it is not the right time."
Steins understood the hidden meaning in Da Vinci's words and fell into silence. After a while, he said, "How does the Association plan to deal with Rob?"
Da Vinci said, "After the meeting, issue an order to him. Let him come to New Tylte first and wait to see the next step of the matter that happened in the Margan Desert. If it is as the Church said, then hand over the girl from the Bretton Family. You are his teacher, and when the time comes, we will need you to appease him. In addition, I will send people to Arbus to repair that space as soon as possible. We will strive to build the magical sharing mechanism within seven years, so that magic can also enter a new era."
This time, Steins did not reject immediately. Da Vinci knew that this actually meant that the former had agreed to his decision. On this point, he still had some confidence in persuading the other party. This was because he knew that Steins was not someone who did not care about the overall situation. All these years, when he was not around, Arbus and Steins were in charge of the operations of the Magic Association. The old man knew very well what the Magic Association's intentions were.
However, when he turned around, Steins's voice rang in his ears again. "I only have one last question. If the Church's secondary person is Rob, what will you choose, President?"
Da Vinci stopped in his tracks. He knew what Steins meant. If the Church could want Lolo today, they could naturally want Rob tomorrow. Especially considering the somewhat horrifying answer that Arbus had given him earlier, Rob's existence would undoubtedly pose a certain threat. Unlike Lolo, the former was insignificant to the Magic Association, but the latter's talent was the most precious treasure of mankind. If they were to face the situation today again, what would the Magic Association do?
Da Vinci did not answer immediately. He merely said, "It's getting late, Deputy President Steins. We should head back. There are still many things to be dealt with." After saying this, he continued to walk towards the Magic Tower.
