This news was even more surprising than the man's escape. Shole Edison couldn't help but cry out, "Chuck Weiss is crazy! Why did he open the Arcane Eye? "
It was well known that the Tower of the Great Sage would automatically protect Gabrach Tripwood within the range of the Magic Tower's observation range. Under normal circumstances, this distance was at most X ten (10 kilometers). But with the Arcane Eye … Who knew how far this spell could see with the support of the Magic Tower's energy pool.
Shole Edison thought of a possibility and said, "Could it be that Chuck can already completely control the Tower? Get rid of the influence of the original Tower Master. "
"No, it's just that I asked him to open it, and he agreed." Grimwin attacked mercilessly.
"You!" Shole Edison wanted to vent his anger on the man in front of him. But who was this person? He was the oldest active supervisor in the Sijia branch, recognized as a sharp knife in the Council of Fourteen. After the death of Orange Eaton, no one would have an opinion if he was said to be the best Mage in the Sijia district.
But this was also the most troublesome part. Logically speaking, such a famous person's methods should have been thoroughly studied by others, and they should have even come up with a set of countermeasures. However, Grimm was still constantly improving and changing his methods, making everyone who wanted to deal with him unable to figure out how to deal with him.
It could be said that every powerful Mage was like this, making people unable to see through them and catch them. Perhaps the day their methods were seen through would be the day they stepped down from their pedestal in everyone's eyes.
So when encountering such a conflict that was about to erupt, Shole Edison flinched. He wasn't sure if his side could take care of this veteran Mage, and he wasn't sure if he could escape the instant explosion of a Mage if the other party only wanted to beat him up.
Counting on the other party to deal with others first? It would have been safer if he hadn't been there. Since he was facing Grimwin face to face, Shole Edison naturally chose the safer way. So he turned his head away and didn't look at the eager Mage. Instead, he said in a fierce tone to someone beside him.
"Activate Charles Summoning and connect to the Tower of the Great Sage."
Everyone's attention was temporarily diverted. Although the tense atmosphere was temporarily alleviated, no one removed the magic on their bodies. They just watched the development of the situation with cold eyes.
The young man who was reprimanded by Shure Eon was a mage who was handling miscellaneous matters in the middle tower. He could be considered the grand-disciple of the former president, Orange Eaton. He was also the person in charge of contacting the other tower masters for the former president. He hurriedly opened the water mirror in the conference room that was connected to the energy pool of the Central Tower and called for the Tower of the Great Sage.
Just like the previous guild leader's bad habit, he connected the call directly, not giving the other party any chance to hide anything. However, Chuck Weiss seemed to have come prepared. He had been waiting in front of the Tower of the Great Sage for a long time. The moment he picked up the call, he saw a huge face occupying the entire screen, just like his teacher's bad habit.
"Chuck!" Shole Eon angrily called out the name of the person on the other side of the screen.
However, unlike someone who was flustered and exasperated, Chuck Weiss was unusually calm and said, "I'm listening. Speak. "
"You must be crazy to open the Arcane Eye. Close it!"
"I'm the master of the Tower of the Great Sage. It's not under your control. You have no right to ask me to do anything."
Slamming the table heavily, Shure Eon, who stood up, was so angry that he almost jumped up and pointed at the person on the screen, shouting, "This is not a request, this is an order! Do you understand? An order! "
"I'm very curious. What right do you have to order me?" Chuck Weiss asked coldly.
"Because I've inherited everything from my teacher."
"You? Inherited? Because of how noble your bloodline is? Since when did mages have this kind of inheritance in private? If you think so! Then, this noble person, I, a peasant from a humble background, formally challenge you. You have to defeat me to have the right to order me. However, I will advise you to hide in the Central Tower for the rest of your life. Don't ever go out of the tower, otherwise bad things will happen. "
"You! How dare you threaten me! "
"No, this is not a threat. I'm just telling you what will happen. "
Faced with this cold response, Shure Eon broke down and shouted, "We are the students of the same teacher. Shouldn't you support me?"
"Have you ever respected me? People of humble origin are not qualified to be the chief of our teacher. You don't dare to say such words to my face, but I've heard it so many times that my ears are growing calluses. Even if I support you, it doesn't mean that you can climb over my head and shit on me. Not to mention that I don't even acknowledge that you are qualified to be our teacher's successor. "
"You … You! You didn't even attend our teacher's funeral. What right do you have to — "
The person on the screen slammed the table and shouted with an even louder voice, "When I received the official notice, it was the news that our teacher had been buried. Tell me, where did this go wrong! "
"It's … It's …"
Chuck Weiss on the other end of the screen recovered his calm tone and said coldly, "In short, I have put you on the blacklist of the Tower of the Great Sage. Listen to my advice and don't go out of the tower. This is the only friendship we have left. "After saying this, the person on the screen took the initiative to cut off the connection with the Central Tower of Wulian City.
The person slumped in the chair gradually recovered his spirit. He angrily slammed the table and kept saying, "Damn it! Damn it! "The continuous failures only made him want to curse these blind dogs. He didn't hide his temper at all and exploded in front of everyone.
However, this kind of behavior, in the eyes of the old men present, couldn't describe how they felt. If they really had to say something, it would be a pity. A little kid who didn't understand the situation broke into a world that didn't belong to him. It completely ruined his teacher's reputation, and it was also completely inconsistent with the time when this young man was tested for magic talent. He was so amazing.
But after all, he was someone else's apprentice. No matter how regretful it was, it was not under their control. And these 13 members of the council were also not interested in discussing things because of this farce. They all got up and planned to leave.
It was just that the young people blocking the door, who didn't know if they had a screw loose in their heads or were really that stubborn. They took action to stop the veteran mages who wanted to leave. But their bewildered expressions exposed the fact that they were flustered and had no confidence.
"Stop them!" Shole Eon roared hysterically from behind, "Stop them! No one is allowed to leave! "
Unfortunately, the person walking at the front was the tower master of the West Tower. He had a bad temper to begin with, so when he heard this shout, coupled with the hesitant look of the young man blocking in front of him, it made him very unhappy. Without saying much, he directly threw out a punch.
The power of a punch from a Master Mage with a full set of support was not to be underestimated. The young man blocking the way flew back and smashed open the door of the meeting room. Fortunately, this was the door of the Magic Tower with a defensive function. It was strong enough that it wasn't directly smashed. It was just smashed open. Woody Carmel stepped over the young man who had fallen to the ground. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
The young man blocking the other half of the door looked at the old man in front of him and pointed at Woody's back with a playful expression on his face. He was so scared that he opened the door and stepped aside.
Watching the 13 old men leave, the young people couldn't stop them. Everyone's eyes were focused on Shole Edison. It had been very smooth before. Why was it completely different today? The son of a noble, who had always been full of confidence and described many great prospects in front of everyone, was now like a defeated general, hiding from everyone's sight in a sorry state.
In the end, he seemed to understand that he couldn't hide no matter what, so he ruthlessly slammed the table and stood up. He didn't look at anyone else. He just said loudly to himself, "Go back to my house and contact my family's butler. Ask him to find a way to recruit more people for us." With that, he was about to leave.
Someone next to him said in astonishment, "Are you sure you want to leave?"
A wave of anger rose up for no reason. Shole Edison said sternly, "Get lost! I don't believe that bullshit threat. If he has the guts, he'll kill me. Let's go! "
They sadly followed the son of a noble out of the Central Tower. Everyone was speechless along the way. Whether it was dealing with the Magician Gabriel Tripwood or the various leaders under the influence of the former president, they had always been successful. Even if they weren't under the president's control, as long as they showed up, no one dared to confront them. Why was the situation completely different today?
No! In essence, there was no difference. It was just that those old men wouldn't cry until they saw the coffin. They were clearly strong in appearance but weak in reality, but they wanted to stop the young people's dreams and plans. As long as they found a way to break their so-called dignity, it would definitely be possible …
Before their imagination was over, a group of people who had walked out of the Central Tower seemed to have sensed something and looked up into the distance. They saw a few spots of light in the distance. They were getting closer and bigger.
What was this?
For a moment, their minds couldn't wrap their heads around it. Everyone watched helplessly as a string of light bullets converged on Shole Edison. They only heard a muffled "Poof! Poof! " The sound didn't stop. Before anyone realized it, the string of light bullets had stopped, leaving only the deformed corpse in the pit on the ground.
No one cried out, and no one cleaned up the mess. The young Magicians looked at the remains of the person in the pit, then looked at each other, then turned their heads and scattered, as if everything here had nothing to do with them.
The people in Wuunited City weren't completely unaware of this change. The 13 old Magicians who held the real power in the Sijia District branch, who left first, had noticed the light bullets as early as when they flew across the sky.
During the farce at the Gate of the Abyss, except for the masters of the North Tower and the South Tower, who were responsible for guarding Wuunited City and coordinating logistics, the others were on the battlefield and witnessed the whole process with their own eyes. Now, seeing the light bullets across the sky of Wuunited City, they looked at each other, and someone said, "It seems that the election of the next president will be decided in the Tower of the Great Sage."
"It seems so. Otherwise, it would be too miserable to be a president who never leaves the Central Tower for the rest of his life. "
"Grimwin, what are you thinking?"
Looking at the old supervisor in a certain direction, he was deep in thought. When someone asked, he said, "I hope that the kid who is courting death doesn't mess around in the academy."
For such an opinion, this group of old fellows still agreed. The effect of the academy was obvious to all, but for that young noble who was courting death, no one had such confidence …
