Pillars of Ita

Chapter 929 The reason for Act 260?
The brilliant or breathtaking firelight from above the glass dome cannot shake the heart of the alchemist from the Mobius Artisan Guild who is stepping into the hall.

The other party was walking up to the director of the Eynbrok Patrol Guard with a straight face, and threw a letter in front of him, "A letter of protest from the Colin-Ishurian Craftsman Association, what have you done? Good thing?"

A firelight rose through the glass vault.

The firelight was reflecting on the faces of the two, leaving shadows of different shades, as if it was a footnote to the words of the alchemist.The director of the General Administration took out a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat, forced a smile and said, "Mr. Great Craftsman, I don't understand what protest is."

"To be precise, 27 minutes and 40 seconds ago, Colin-Ishurian craftsmen always sent us a letter of protest against our unfair treatment of their contestants," the alchemist looked down at his pocket watch, "In After I said that, it was 43 seconds ago."

He raised his head, and another flash of fire fell on the faces of the two of them, "You and I are not fools, you don't plan to write in tonight's report that the headquarters of the Ai Yin Brock patrolling guards took down the twelve airships under its control. Fireworks were set off on seven ships. I don’t know what Mr. Director is saying for such a grand event tonight? "

"There are villains working in the city," the latter stammered, reaching for the letter.

The alchemist glanced at his hand, "This letter is a copy, it's useless if you destroy it."

"Mr. Great Craftsman, are you joking?" The director of the general administration heard the sarcasm in the other party's words, and forced a smile, "I just want to see..."

The alchemist said mercilessly: "Then take a good look, it has the stamp of the royal family of Colin on it, of course the empire can ignore the Colin-Ishurian Craftsman Association, but the Colin people openly complain about this matter. If it is a platform, I am afraid that the mainland league will not be able to step down in the end."

"...Of course, it doesn't matter if the Continental League doesn't make it to Taiwan. The Empire is not short of such a game to show its reputation, but I'm afraid that Mr. Director will be bad."

Sweat fell off the director's forehead.The other party's unceremonious words hit the weakest part of his heart. He didn't care about those Colin people, but he cared about the position under his buttocks. "I'm also doing things for the adults above... There may be some misunderstandings... Then what should we do now?"

"Of course it is to take back your people. Do you still think that the lost people are not big enough? What are you going to do next, ask for help from the Imperial Army, or ask for help from Moubis? Drag Ayin Brock away with your own strength." Entering a state of war, is the director planning to go down in history?" The alchemist sneered, "In order to deal with a few Holy Chosen?"

"It shouldn't be like this..." Another flame illuminated the hall, interrupting the director's words, and the deafening roar made the vases on the table roll down on the carpet.

The alchemist looked at the vase, and took out another letter from his pocket and threw it in front of him, "Indeed, this is not the case, because Moubis Fortress will not pass through in the first place. This is from the Imperial Workshop. letter of protest."

"Ah?" The Director was surprised, "What happened to the Imperial Workshop?"

"It's nothing, this letter is not much different from the previous one except that the subject has changed its name," the alchemist said sarcastically, "You are arresting the person who received the Star Flower Medal from the Empire just a few months ago, It was personally nominated by the Great Alchemist of Amash. In addition, he is also a guest of the Imperial Workshop and the Gujin Family, Mr. Director, you can wait and see, the third letter of protest may already be on the way—”

The director of the general administration is already sweating all over his forehead, why is this matter so difficult?Isn’t he just a well-known alchemist in Colin-Ishurian? He is also a recruiter. According to the information, he has only been in the empire for less than two months. Behemoth got involved?

But without hesitation, a person hastily walked in from the outside and handed him a piece of paper, "Mr. Director, Imperial Army Communications."

"Imperial Army?" The former was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, "What did they say?"

"They sent reprimands, protesting that we did not notify them to go alone in this matter, which made them very passive."

The director was dizzy for a while, and then a little annoyed. He shouted at his subordinates: "They are passive, so why am I not passive? Besides, what does this matter have to do with the military? Could it be that if I arrest a person in the city, I still want to get the empire?" Army’s approval, who do they think they are?”

"This...I'm afraid it's not that simple, Mr. Director..." The man said a little embarrassed, "The Star Gate of the third division, Hengfeng Port has already sent a protest, saying that some of the players they seconded to participate in the Continental League The candidate candidates from the military, they think that we have treated their players unfairly in the competition, and asked us to..."

"What do you want us to do?"

"Either such behavior is suspended, or they are suspended from participating in the competition..."

"Or it's not bad to suspend the game," the alchemist made a stab at the side, "then this matter has officially risen to the level of diplomacy between the two countries, so Mr. Administrator, is he going to release people, or not, or is he going to ask the examiner about this matter?" The Lin-Ishurians declare war?"

Of course, the director of the General Administration could hear the sarcasm in the former's words, how could he have the right to declare war on any side on behalf of the empire, and he didn't even dare to let this matter spread too much to His Majesty's eyes and ears.

"But..." His words softened a lot, "I didn't catch the Colin-Ishurians."

"Then you go and explain to Colin—"

The alchemist looked at the beautiful 'fireworks' on the top of the glass. The uncertain light and shadow were making the night of Einbrok extraordinarily gorgeous, and the former looked very well-groomed.

The other party didn't care about the life and death of a director of the patrolling guards, but was extremely annoyed because the other party made a mess of Ayin Brock.

This is the city of wizards and craftsmen, and it is still during the Continental League, so many eyes are focused here.The Mobius Craftsman Association has already exploded in anger. The alchemists said that they are not interested in this, but in fact they have the intention to kill each other.

He didn't even have a good impression of the Duke.

Although everyone is an imperial person, they have the same interests.But if you're doing something in my territory and you haven't notified me, then there's nothing to talk about between us.

The splendor in the night sky reflected in the director's heart more like the color of bleeding.

The director of the General Administration sat down on his chair, and said something that even as an imperial person, he couldn't believe that he would say it: "The Kaolin-Ishurian people can't just say that. Makes sense, right?"

But he has completely given up resisting. The Duke of the Hawke family is not here, but the pressure from the Imperial Workshop and the Gujin family is real. Even the Imperial Army has expressed dissatisfaction with his behavior. He fought hard, but he did his best.

The Lord Duke will not blame him for this, it is the great alchemist Amasht, and the Gujin family, whoever is willing to carry it.The director of the General Administration opened his mouth, and was about to order the people back in dejection, giving up all actions tonight.

But at this time, a voice came from not far away: "I don't think the operation can be suspended."

The alchemist turned around, looked in that direction, and saw a young man walking down the stairs. He recognized the identity of the chosen one, frowned and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"

"I work for the Duke of Hawke," the young man replied, "We are investigating the manuscript of the great mage Ash Lynn 20 years ago. It was lost from the Stag Principality not long ago, and it may have fallen into those people. Hands. This matter is of great importance, and the Continental League will be suspended for this reason."

"The device of the stars?" The alchemist was slightly taken aback, "That thing is illusory, and you still pin your hopes on such illusory things? The empire has already found the right way from those relic machines, I advise you not to Waste of time on this."

"Whether it's a waste of time is a matter within the empire," the young man replied, "but Ash Lynn's manuscript must be taken back first. This is the unanimous will of the seven mage families, and the Duke is only representing them." Just act."

The alchemist frowned.

No wonder the patrol guards are so resolute. Compared to Mobius' craftsmen's association, the empire's mages are another behemoth.The two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but His Majesty the Emperor intends to balance the balance of power between the two sides.

"When can the Hawk family represent the family of the Seven Wizards?" But everyone knew the truth, and the alchemist pointed straight at the center of gravity when he opened his mouth, "Griffin's Griffin's Feather, Eisengreen's Golden Goat, Triffin Has K's Changing Badger agreed?"

The Hawke family has grown stronger over the years, but the wisdom of the cunning owl is not the only one in the mage family.

The Feather of the Griffin representing the Summoning faction, the Eisengreen Academy of the Prophecy faction, and the Trifink family of the Change faction have always been at loggerheads with them.He picked out these three families as soon as he opened his mouth. As long as the mages didn't stand together, the Duke Hawke Craftsman's Association alone would not be considered.

But the young man with blond hair did not rush, took out three letters and laid them out one by one in front of the two of them.There was nothing special about the three letters, but the wax stamp on the envelope said it all, it was the emblems of the Griffin, Trifink and Eisengreen families.

He self-evidently said that these three families had not had much contact with the Hawke family in the past, and they would not come up with such a recommendation letter for no reason.The remaining three families are either allies of the Hawke family or neutral factions, and now even the enemies have defected, let alone other families.

The alchemist frowned deeply, "Since the Seven Sorcerers family is determined to do so, then I have nothing to say. But the Mobius Craftsman Association will at best remain neutral. If this matter continues like this, His Majesty the Emperor will to decide."

"Your Majesty the Emperor can decide whatever you want," the young man replied, "but Ash Lynn's manuscript must be preserved first."

Another explosion flashed across the glass dome.

The rolling light and flames were reflecting the deep shadows in his eyes, and the young man replied word by word: "Your Excellency has never expected anything, as long as you don't stop it, this is an internal matter of the empire, The mere Corin-Ishurians are overthinking themselves if they want to intervene."

But the alchemist didn't seem to hear this sentence.

The other party was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and took out a communication crystal from his coat pocket.He stared at the flickering crystal for a moment, as if he had received some news, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

After a while, he raised his head again to look at the Director General and the young man.

The alchemist's originally deeply frowned brows have been relaxed, and his eyes looked at the two people in front of him with some playfulness for a moment, and said jokingly: "Then I will wait for the good news from your Lord Duke, and I hope you will do what you say."

There was clearly something in his words.

The young man was taken aback for a moment, then looked at him suspiciously.

And at this time, the communication crystal beside the Director of the General Administration also lit up at the same time, and a voice came from inside: "Mr. Director, the other party wants to talk to us."

"The other party, who?"

Before the director could speak, the young man turned his head and asked.

Hearing this strange voice over there, he obviously hesitated.The director of the general administration did not dare to express dissatisfaction with the envoy of the cunning owl of the empire, so he had to repeat the words of the young man again.

And Crystal hesitated for a moment before answering:
"It's a Holy Chosen..."

"A mere group of adventurers are qualified to negotiate terms with the empire?" The director was furious, "Didn't you hear my order, bring them back!"

After getting clear support, he finally seemed to be hardened.

But his subordinate was obviously not as confident as he was, hesitatingly said: "Mr. Director, I think you'd better listen to her..."

The voice was interrupted in the middle of the speech, as if the crystal in the opponent's hand was snatched away, and then a nice woman's voice came from the other end of the crystal, echoing in the hall:

"Mr. Director, I want to hear your explanation. What is the reason for attacking my people? And in order to avoid some unnecessary fights, which would cause half of Ainbrok to be destroyed. Once such a thing happens, I suggest you It's better to be more explicit."

The naked threat in these words made everyone present feel something was wrong.The young man said angrily, "Who are you?"

"What are you?" The woman's voice said coldly, "What qualifications do you have to participate in such a conversation, go away!"

"You—" the young man was furious, "I represent—"

"I don't know," the woman interrupted him directly, "If you don't want to annoy me, get someone who can speak up. My time is limited, and I don't have much time left for you—"

There was silence in the hall.

Because it was at this moment that sharp sirens sounded from the sky above Ayn Bullock.

In peaceful times, such an alarm only meant one meaning—war was approaching Ayn Bullock.

Even the alchemist raised his head, watching more anti-aircraft searchlights shooting into the air - that was the activation of the Moubis Fortress, and everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they walked out one after another.

Everyone was puzzled, what happened outside during the short period of negotiations between the Director and the Craftsman Association?
Although the director was a bit out of luck, he was a person who had seen big scenes, and he sensed something bad, so he hurriedly said, "...Your Excellency?"

"Who am I?" The woman's voice smiled, "Let me check first."

Then there was another exclamation.Obviously, the other party snatched something from his subordinates.Then there was a sound of pages turning from the crystal side, and it took a while before it subsided.

"Oh, that's what it says on it, Colin - the silver god of death of Ishurian, the queen of construction, the founder of swift tactics, hmph, the numbering of the imperial people is really complicated..." She complained softly, "Underworld, registered dragon knight number 45-701, battle craftsman, supreme, false dragon knight..."

After Ming finished speaking, he threw away the booklet in his hand and raised his head.

The manual was falling from a height of several hundred feet.

And the silver dragon quietly hovered above Ainbulok.

Right in front of this beautiful structure, there are more than a dozen floating ships belonging to the Imperial Army. As for the airships of the patrolling guards, they have long been driven out of the battle zone and become a supporting role in the corner of the battlefield.

Two false dragon knights, one dragon knight is surrounding the underworld.

Ming looked calmly at the Oshu dragon knight who appeared in front of her, "I've finished," she replied, "If you have anything else to say, if you want to attack me, you can attack me immediately. "

But on the side of the empire that had the absolute upper hand, the dragon knights didn't dare to make a move for a while.

It's not just because Ming is the first candidate under the ten kings, and he has had a record of one against two many times.What's more, once the war between the dragon knights takes place in Aiyinbulok, it's hard to say how many complete buildings will be left in the city after the war.

This level of confrontation has not happened a few times in the first world in history.

And after that, wars ensued.

Second war between the Empire and Corin-Ishurian.

And these are not things that they can afford alone.

After a long silence, the imperial dragon knight took the initiative to speak: "Ms. Ming, please think carefully, do you really want to start a war between the dragon knights?"

"...Did you expect such a consequence?"

"It's not that I want to start a war," Ming replied, "but someone wants to start a war."

"I brought the team here," she said eloquently. "Naturally, I promised to the third division to bring back my players intact. I came to participate in the competition, not to participate in the war. If the Imperials even If the guarantee cannot be made, then I suggest that similar events should not be held in the future, and it is just right to be a laughable joke."

"It was your people who shot at the patrolling guards first," another dragon knight said angrily, "The patrolling guards shot at your contestants out of counterattack."

"Article [-] of the Stargate Proclamation," said Mingli confidently, "The Chosen Ones are not allowed to attack the aborigines. People who died in the guild violated this rule. My players only intervened out of righteous indignation. Don't think that I I don't know what your idea is, if you want to trace the source, then I can accompany you to investigate one by one and see what the final result is?"

"This is an internal matter of the empire."

"Oh," Ming raised his eyebrows, "If you want to be unreasonable, that's okay, I'm also an unreasonable person." She waved her hand, and Yin Zhuang immediately let out a low moan behind her, and the transparent voice immediately spread. All over Ayn Brock.

After the scream, the searchlights hundreds of feet below also shattered one by one.The crowd was fleeing in all directions, inspecting the headquarters of the guards, and the Mobius Fortress was already in chaos.

The dragon knight turned pale with shock, and hurriedly stopped him: "Wait, we're not here to provoke a dispute."

Ming hooked his hands to the three of them, "Stop talking nonsense, if you want to fight, go ahead."

Dragon Knight frowned, "Ms. Ming, I know you don't want to do anything, just ask if you have any demands, and we can sit down and talk within a reasonable range."

"I have made it very clear," Ming replied, "I am a mere Colin-Ishurian dragon knight, and I dare not interfere in the internal affairs of your empire, but as for my responsibility, how should I investigate? How to investigate. If you are right or wrong, then give everyone a right and wrong, and check each one to see who is right and who is wrong."

"As for the final result, if it's my fault, then we will naturally bear the responsibility," she calmly glanced at everyone present, and said without fear, "but if someone is framed, don't blame me Ugly words are not up front!"

Dragon Knight looked at his colleagues.

But his gaze was actually on the airships of the patrolling guards far outside the battlefield.

When inspecting the headquarters of the guards, there was a dead silence in the hall.

Everyone is listening to the voice from the crystal.

The director of the general administration looked at the young man, and the alchemist from the Mobius Craftsman's Guild looked at the two of them leisurely.The young man never expected that things would end up like this, and subconsciously blurted out:
"This matter is related to Ash Lynn's manuscript, and it must not be made public!"

What's more, they used too many methods behind their backs, and they couldn't be exposed in broad daylight at all.Whether it was what the death guild did to the old servant of Lynn's family, or the reason for taking the girl away, they couldn't come up with a reason at all.

It's fine if these things are not exposed, but none of them can be made public in a fair manner.The public result is that the other party has nothing to do with it, and they are humiliating themselves.

The director general wiped his sweat and wanted to say something but didn't make a sound.

The alchemist looked at him pitifully, and asked leisurely:

"So why?"

The young man opened his mouth.

Yes, why?

Now a dragon knight is asking them for a reason, can they not give a reason?

It seems impossible...
