In the Sijia branch of the Mage Association, the vacant position of president was finally decided by the candidate recommended by the fourteen-member council. The great mage Hydra Quinnipiac, who belonged to the young faction of the council members, received the most support from the mages in the election of the Five Union City and successfully took over the position of president.
In the process, of course, there were some unexpected interludes, especially the 'assassin' from the Cartier District Branch.
The assassin here didn't refer to the assassin, but to the person who attacked the throne of the Sijia District Branch's president. He was a veteran Great Magician in the Sijia District and had a good reputation. But he advocated for the peaceful and equal development of the four District Branches in the Southwest Peninsula.
Perhaps not many people knew how much the former president squeezed out of the Cartier District by using the candidate for the chief puppet. But after all, because the benefits obtained from the Cartier District didn't directly benefit most Wizards, the speech to win sympathy and peaceful development was still quite popular.
In fact, the so-called good words didn't attract much attention. Who would easily let go of the meat in their mouth? Even if it wasn't them who was biting the meat, but their own people. But as long as the meat wasn't cut off from their own body, it was better to benefit their own people than outsiders.
Therefore, before the Cartier District Branch's undercurrent rose and completely broke away from the control of the Sijia District, the new president smoothly took over most of the forces left by the former president. But it wasn't without losses. Before the new president of the Sijia District was elected, the other two districts roped in a lot of forces in the Cartier District that originally belonged to the Sijia District.
With the appointment of the new president of the Sijia District, a new wave of confrontation between the four districts began.
As for the Chief Supervisor, Master Wizard Grimwin, who was originally the most promising and should also be the strongest in the Sijia District, disregarding the Lich who left. But he didn't fight for the president's throne. Although the president and even the various positions in the district branch were occupied by the strong, but the strong also had to be willing. There were still many people who didn't want to be tied down by mundane affairs.
But those who would become supervisors weren't the kind of people who were cold to power. Grimwin did not want the position of Guild Leader. What he wanted was something else.
Going back to a few days ago, the position of the Consultative Chairman was located in the original dining hall on the first floor of the Tower of the Great Sage. At the same time, it was also the largest room in the Tower of the Great Sage. During the fight against the Abyssal Gate, it was transformed into a meeting room. There were fourteen participants.
After the former president passed away, the candidate to fill in for the fourteen-member council was the former president of Orange Eaton, Chuck Weiss. However, he didn't rely on his identity as the former president's student or the successor of a force. The reason he was able to attend the Council of Fourteen was because he was the Tower Master of the Tower of the Great Sage.
Just like the Five Alliance City, the owners of the five Magic Towers were all qualified to attend the meeting. First, the Demon King fell at the Abyssal Gate, and then, Shor Ethan was killed at the entrance of the Central Tower. Now in the Sijia District, if there was anyone that no one dared to offend, the Tower Master of the Tower of the Great Sage was definitely ranked first.
Seeing the status of the Tower Master of the Tower of the Great Sage today, everyone couldn't help but think of the former Tower Master who let go of all this in vain. Should they feel sorry for his regret, or should they feel lucky for his stupidity? In any case, that one left.
Some people died, some people left. Those who lived, those who stayed, all had to move on. Therefore, a group of elders who held the real power of the Sijia District branch, in addition to coming to the Tower of the Great Sage to give the same power to the Tower Master, they also had to decide on the next president's candidate.
The development of the Southwest of the Mysterious Land had a history of more than two hundred years. Since the establishment of the Sijia District branch, there had been sixteen presidents. Most of the candidates for the president's successor were chosen by the four tower masters, and the winner would enter the Central Tower. The vacant tower would then choose a person with both ability and virtue to succeed.
But the sixteenth president, Orange Eaton, was too good at waiting. He waited until the other four tower masters were powerless to succeed the president's position. Although the Society of Sorcerers was a loose organization, the real power of the branches in each district was definitely not idle. If they really wanted to do it seriously, it was not impossible for them to work themselves to death.
Since the four tower masters had withdrawn from the competition, the remaining people were all about the same in terms of prestige; in terms of power, although there was a difference, it was not far. Only personal strength. Master Wizard Grimwin, as the chief inspector and the sharp knife of the Sijia District, did the most difficult jobs and fought the most troublesome opponents.
In the face of such an opponent, no mage dared to say that they had the confidence to win. Even if they used their own trump card, did the opponent not have a trump card?
In particular, Grimwin and the current tower master of the Tower of the Great Sage, Chuck Weiss, had secretly become allies because of their relationship with Orange Eaton.
Even if Grimwin could not completely take over all the power of the former president, just the Tower of the Great Sage standing behind him made no one have the confidence to go against him. This pagoda was too savage.
"Don't worry, I don't want to compete for the president's position."
This was after the four tower masters once again expressed their intention not to succeed the president. Everyone's attention was on Grimwin, so he had no choice but to express his position. The first sentence he said was also shocking. But such a statement without any beginning or end was even more worrying. So he did not keep them in suspense and continued:
"I hope that no matter who succeeds the president, they can support me to take the position of president of Orange Eaton Academy. At the same time, the Charlie Richard Fund can also support the operation of the academy. "
At the table of power, it was most feared to meet people who had no desires. But as long as there was a request, there was room for negotiation. For Grimwin's request, all those who were willing to compete could accept it, but it did not mean that they could understand it. Gleewyn shrugged his shoulders and said,
"I just don't want the old man's name to stink like this. And the incident at the academy, no one thinks that it's a bad thing. Since it's not a bad thing, someone has to come out and do it well. Not let some bastard mess around. "
When it came to his teacher, Chuck Weiss changed his previous indifference and expressed his approval. This nod naturally made Grimwin's request more weight. And for the power of the entire district, the academy was a rather insignificant link. It was not worthwhile to fight with the most powerful team in the Sijia district for petty profits.
So the president's position was up to the remaining people to compete. Although it was only an internal competition of the fourteen-member council, it still had to go through the votes of all the mages in the Sijia district. But in the past, as long as it was a candidate recommended by the council, the president's position was a sure thing. So those who were willing were actively wooing each other and exchanging benefits.
Chuck Weiss and Grimwin sat in the corner of the conference room and whispered to each other. The main point was, of course, about the academy. "Can the academy still be saved? Can we get Tripwood back? "He asked with concern.
"Don't count on getting that person back. What reason does he have to continue to stay in the Sijia district? If it were me, there would only be one reason for me to return. "
The former president was a proud student from a merchant family, and he was not a young man who did not understand the ways of the world. When he heard Grimwin mention the only reason, he immediately thought of it. "Is it the Tower of the Great Sage?"
"Of course. So many people took so many things from him, and finally forced him to leave. He also knew very well that if he did not leave, it would be his life that would be taken away in the end. If you want to persuade him to return, in addition to giving him a clear guarantee, even if you can't return everything to him, you have to return the most precious thing. The only thing that meets all the conditions is this tower. "
"Then return the Tower of the Great Sage to him, okay?" Chuck Weiss looked a little tired. He asked intuitively, but he didn't know what answer he would get.
Seeing this, Grimwin asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
With a few bitter laughs, Chuck Weiss said, "Maybe if you ask me what I can solve, I can say a few words. But I don't understand this tower at all. " He pointed to the sky, but he was actually referring to the core room on the third floor. He summoned some of his trusted apprentices, and a few people who were not very talented in magic, but were quite knowledgeable in learning Language P. They were studying this magic tower together.
With a sigh, Chuck said earnestly, "Although I found some people to study the bottom layer of the Tower of the Great Sage. But no matter what that group of people studied, I still don't understand. I don't understand what they understand, and I don't know what they are doing behind my back. If there is, it is just secretly transferring the leadership to that group of people. I still can't fully grasp it. "
Patting the somewhat depressed young man, Grimwin understood the feeling of powerlessness. But unfortunately, he didn't have any good solutions. And the discussion of the successor of the president came to an end. In the end, it was Hydra Quinnipiac who came out, and he would also receive a joint statement and support from the Council of Fourteen.
Back in Wulian City, it didn't matter whether the new president was very straightforward to fulfill the original promise. Grimwin, who got the approval, began to run around and prepare everything needed for the new Orange Eaton Academy.
Among them, the most important person was Eli Huber, who originally left the academy, but now stayed in the Sijia District.
In fact, this fatty was Old Eton's subordinate from the beginning; he sent him to the academy to monitor and protect him. But since the old president passed away, Eli Huber had the intention of distancing himself from the power of the former president.
In fact, the people who had such an attitude accounted for the majority of the former president's power. Because these people were all indebted to Orange Eaton, and were used by him, not a combination of interests. Since the benefactor had passed away, and he didn't leave a proper successor, it was normal for him to regain his freedom. In fact, Grimwin himself could be counted as such people.
Because of Eli Huber's identity, Grimwin had dealt with this person several times. So when they met again, Grimwin went straight to the point after a few polite words.
"You want me to be the dean of the academy?" Eli Huber was surprised by the Master Wizard Grimwin's proposal. He originally thought that this person was here to be a lobbyist for someone, but he mentioned something unrelated.
Grimwin nodded and said, "Running a school is a good thing that is worth doing. And you are the only one who has been watching the academy since its establishment among the people who stayed. The mission that the president gave you should also be to observe and record the actions of that person. I hope that you can use that experience to help me, and I will personally take the position of dean of the academy. Don't ruin the place that was built in his name. "
After thinking seriously for a while, Eli Huber said, "There is only one condition. Anyway, the group of children who originally stayed in the academy have already entered the door, so there is no need to recruit them back. Leave the opportunity to the other children. "
The reason was dignified, but how could Grimwin not know that the fatty in front of him was more or less resentful about what happened back then? So he reached out his hand and said in agreement, "I agree, this is very reasonable."
Eli Huber shook Grimwin's hand, smiled like a flower blooming on his face, and said, "This is really great, let's work hard together."
