The relatives of the former president, Gregory Otto, and the Caios family must die.
This was what everyone agreed on.
Because of the personal grudge caused by greed, it eventually evolved into the threat of the Abyss invasion. If it wasn't for the former president informing the association in advance, so many reinforcements would come …
Fine. Even if the former president didn't say anything, just relying on this magic tower to resist the demon army, the result wouldn't change.
In any case, the actions of the former president of the Cartier branch and the Klios family were too vile. There was no reason for them to be forgiven. It was a common practice in this world to make everyone related to them disappear from the Maze World.
Not to mention a family with a long history, they would have a lot of connections to help them. Summoning demons and opening the Abyss Gate was an inhumane act, unless it was an accomplice, any connections would be a joke.
No one would stand in their position and defend them. Because everyone was afraid that one day it would be their turn to be blocked by demons. There was only one Tower of the Great Sage, it wasn't everywhere.
Of course, the reason why everyone agreed to this was not only because the crime of summoning demons was unbearable. Gregory Otto's relatives and the Caios family were all dead, and the things left behind had to be dealt with or taken over by someone. This was the reason why most people had a tacit understanding.
Besides, even if the Society of Sorcerers didn't deal with it, there would still be people who would do it, and that would be the representatives of the Gods in the human world — the Church. These people had zero tolerance for demons, killing them on sight was a small matter. Just hearing about it, they could travel thousands of miles just to exorcise or eliminate demons.
If a mage's people committed such a crime, the Church wouldn't do nothing, but they would wait, wait for the Society of Sorcerers to deal with it, then they would take action. But this wait wasn't indefinite, if the Society's actions were too slow, then don't blame the Church for being too fast.
At that time, the things left behind by the sinners and their families would naturally belong to the Church. Don't expect the people of the Church to respectfully offer what they have swallowed with both hands to the noble mages.
But Gregory Otto's relatives and the Caios family were small matters, the troublesome part was how to deal with the Carditz district branch.
As the branch president, Gray Otto was bound to have a considerable number of the branch's upper echelons. How to deal with these people was one problem, and how they would react was another.
If there was no pressure and these people were allowed to receive Gregory Otto's inheritance, then he would have contributed a lot without any benefits. Not to mention the other things, just the fact that the Evil Demons were blocking the door made him worried and scared. He also spent a lot of money and food to recruit troops and horses, preparing to fight the Evil Demons. Without compensation for these mental damages, it was like a double injury.
What really made these cunning old fogeys think about was the possibility of annexing the Kadze branch.
There was no doubt that there would be a power vacuum in the Cartier District branch. Because of the death of a guild leader and the first gathering of D people (500 people), the leaders of the various levels would definitely be made up of branch officers. With the loss of more than half of the managers, no matter who the successor was, it would take a long time.
This gave others an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Although there was no competitive relationship between the associations, no one would complain about their own territory being too big and having too much power.
Besides, the reason why the association divided the districts in the past was to consider the efficiency of the information flow, as well as the deployment efficiency of the supporters and supervisors. If the territory was too big, if the news and reinforcements came too slowly, it would lose the original intention of the magicians through the association to help each other.
However, in this day and age, the existence of the forum reduced the cost of information exchange by a factor of time. Although there was still the flaw of not necessarily being able to provide reinforcements in time, there was room for maneuvering.
The three guild leaders discussed, but it was impossible to completely divide the Cartier District branch. Because there was no precedent, it was unclear what kind of resistance it would cause. It would be a pity if the table was too ugly and they messed up a good game of chess.
The most likely method was to support a spokesperson, and then take advantage of this gap to arrange some people, using this to control the Cartier District branch. And of course, all the information transmission relied on the convenience of the forum.
Although it was impossible to control what the people supported would do in the two places, at least they would not be clueless. If they prepared some backup plans, even if they could not firmly control the Cartier District branch, they could at least control seventy to eighty percent.
But this kind of thing was difficult to monopolize with the other two guilds on the side, and there was no need to monopolize it. The three guilds working together had a higher chance of suppressing the noise in the Cartier District branch. If the Sijia District wanted to monopolize it, and the other two guilds were holding them back, anything that could be done would become impossible. So Orange Eaton would rather pull in two underlings and share some benefits.
The general direction was reached, and the rest of the details were not up to the three guild leaders to discuss. Naturally, there would be some shrewd subordinates who would discuss all kinds of methods and people to arrange. There would even be some disputes and compromises between each other.
After roughly dealing with the internal affairs of the Society of Sorcerers, the next thing to do was to deal with the external problems.
When the various kingdoms and nobles led their armies and fled, the Kingdom of Freund chose to stay. This was not because the queen had lived here for a period of time and had feelings for it. It was purely because of the geographical location of the Tower of the Great Sage.
Let's not talk about the fixed territory of the Magic Tower for the time being. The location of the Tower of the Great Sage was in the territory of the Kingdom of Freund, although it could only be considered a remote area at the border. The neighboring Viscount Lorenz's territory was able to prosper today, and it definitely had something to do with the Tower of the Great Sage.
But at the same time, when the disadvantages were greater than the advantages, even the best neighbors would make people think twice. Today's Tower of the Great Sage was facing this problem.
The power was there, the attack range was too outstanding, and the battle results were too dazzling. As the tower's neighbor, they had to constantly worry about the mood of the tower's owner, whether or not he would be unhappy and send a light bomb to wash the ground, directly washing an entire kingdom to the ground without any side effects of radiation pollution. How many people could tolerate such a neighbor?
So Queen Yulia III came, and while the chairman of the Sika branch was still here, she personally entered the Magic Tower to discuss the relevant matters.
Because if only the tower owner was left, this person who was going to live here for a long time would be as tough as he wanted to be. Whether or not there was room for negotiation completely depended on this person's mood.
But under the situation where the other chairmen were still here, and the new tower owner was Orange Eaton's student. The three chairmen would have to return to their own territory, which meant that they would have to leave the protection of the tower. If they were to fall out today, at that time, when the queen with the flail visited them on her journey, how much would they have to pay to have a chance to talk?
As for getting rid of this queen here …
The idea was beautiful, but not practical.
From all aspects, it could be seen that this queen had not lost the favor of the 'God' behind her. If they were to be protected by that level of grand elder and still wanted to take the queen, then they could only hide in the Tower of the Great Sage and not take a step out.
The warriors favored by the gods were always the most troublesome existence.
Especially the gods of the mysterious land, in order to compete for faith, shielding the weak was almost a necessary skill for every god. As long as the believers did not commit acts of betrayal or violate the core doctrines, it was not unheard of for the Saint to come to the mortal world and avenge the believers.
But for the queen's request, the group of mages still felt embarrassed.
How could they make the neighbors feel at ease?
Generally speaking, the Magic Towers that faced such a problem were mostly the ones that were built in the city.
As the protector of a country or a noble, and at the same time as a part of the city's defense system, every tower owner had to be approved by the Society of Sorcerers at the same time, as well as the consent of the city's mayor, noble, or king, before they could be stationed in the Magic Tower in such a special place.
After all, if a mage who had a grudge against the city's mayor came and stationed in the tower, the city could be turned into a dead city in minutes. So to become the tower owner of the tower in the city, it was necessary to have a certain degree of friendship with the city's mayor, otherwise it would be impossible to be accepted. Because of this, sometimes the city's mayor or the lord had the right to make suggestions to the tower owner.
In the current situation, the Tower of the Great Sage was not built in a city, so it was difficult to apply the existing principles.
Secondly, with the current status and power of the Tower of the Great Sage, Orange Eaton absolutely could not hand over this Magic Tower to the hands of others, so it could only be firmly controlled by his own confidants.
Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible to find a candidate that satisfied both sides.
Just as the conversation was about to collapse, Queen Yulia III gave in. It was unrealistic to expect the Tower of the Great Sage to abolish many of its powerful functions. Not to mention that the current tower owner and his companions simply did not have the ability to modify the various settings of the tower.
Get the former tower owner back? Yulia agreed to such a plan, after all, she had already figured out Gabriel Tripwood's personality more or less. But President Orange Eaton was not willing. Not to mention the selfishness of wanting to control this tower, for the Society of Sorcerers, changing orders day and night would damage its authority.
In the end, the condition that the queen won was that the Tower of the Great Sage would not open the Eye of the Arcane unless it was necessary. This was because the starting point of some attacks beyond the horizon would be this big eye that appeared at the top of the tower.
Of course, when it was necessary and when it was not, it was up to the tower owner to explain. In this negotiation, the Mage Tower had almost all the rights to control the negotiations. No matter what the others said, it was somewhat like they were begging.
But for Chuck Weiss, such a request from Yulia III vaguely matched his own needs. This was because there were too many uncontrollable factors in this Magic Tower. If this Magic Tower was left to operate on its own before he had a thorough grasp of it, it might one day backfire on the tower owner.
He even had the urge to put the Magic Stone of Elimination that the former tower owner had given him before he left on the control panel of the Nuclear Chamber and be done with it once and for all. But in the end, he gave up. Perhaps it would be a very interesting goal to spend the rest of his life studying this tower.
