Versatile Mage: Demon Mage

Chapter 548 Coffee Appointment
Asharuya smiled, and her perception of Wang Teng improved. "This time I came here mainly to represent my personal request."

"If this event succeeds, I will withdraw from the election for the goddess. The Parthenon can no longer afford to suffer any more."

Wang Teng was surprised to hear this. This woman had such a broad view of the situation? She was willing to give the dominance of the Parthenon to her.

"You don't have to be so surprised. Xinxia possesses the Parthenon Soul, and it also fits the current needs of the Parthenon."

"I'm not really opposed to or surprised that she became a goddess. At least it's a good thing for the current situation."

Asharuya smiled indifferently. To her, she didn't have to be the goddess herself. Anyone else who was capable could take the position.

This also involves complex power struggles, conflicts of interest among supporters behind the scenes, and so on.

Like the relationship with Izhisha, it is an extremely complicated and entangled relationship, and it also involves the power of the Holy City.

Wang Teng said that it would be enough to just listen to it, as the struggle for power has always been accompanied by brutal killings.

It's not impossible to separate the Parthenon spirit. It is entirely possible with the technology of the Parthenon. It's just a matter of whether one can do it and whether one dares to do it.

"The original battle between Dubai Mage Tower and Holy City took place in early January. It is already September, so there are still about three months left."

"So...I'll come find you then?"

Asharuya continued to seek the other party's opinion. After all, all this depended on the other party, and she could only play a supporting role at most.

"Okay. Since it's your personal wish, I'll consider it as returning the favor." Wang Teng said with a smile.

"Hmm~ You're really stingy. Can't you just help a friend?"

Asharuya's slightly tense face finally relaxed, and she was in the mood to joke with the other party.

"My friendship is too heavy now, and my little arms and legs can't handle it!"

Wang Teng's gaze stayed on the other person's arms for a second before moving away. This contrasting moment could well describe the situation at the moment.

Asharuya blushed slightly, rubbed her arms and immediately rolled her eyes at Wang Teng. How could she not guess what this guy was planning?
"That's a shame, but I still want to thank you very much for your help."

"It's getting late, I won't disturb your afternoon tea time."

Asharuya stood up and bowed slightly to say goodbye, then turned around and slowly left the cafe, disappearing into the crowd.

"Is it just to maintain stability?..."

Wang Teng looked at the other person's departing back and sat in his seat thinking slowly. He still didn't quite believe the woman's statement.

As the Saint of the Parthenon, she possesses the most comprehensive intelligence system. The more she knows, the more complicated the other party is.

Not to mention that the fact that the Goddess campaign has remained intact for such a long time speaks volumes.

What is even more rare is that she can remain sober and rational amidst the fanatical pursuit of everyone.

The more information people know, the more they will act subjectively and make things develop in the direction they want.

This is human nature of seeking profit and avoiding harm!
As an outsider, Xinxia's possession of the Parthenon Spirit was like a child carrying gold through a bandit's den. It was a miracle that she could escape unharmed.

It's bullshit to say that if the information is made public, there will be supporters and that one's own safety can be guaranteed! The value of the Parthenon Soul is far more exaggerated than that of the Art of Death and the Core of the Dimension. It's not just a small thing that doesn't matter whether you eat it or not.

When the ratio of input to output is too exaggerated, human nature is most vulnerable to the test. Anyone would go crazy if they paid one dollar and got 1 billion in return.

Not to mention that the competition in the Parthenon is so fierce. Even though they are all called saints, none of them show mercy when they attack each other.

Behaviors like Yizhisha's willingness to contact external forces like the Holy City for help, blatant abuse of power for personal gain, and making false accusations show that this group of people have no moral principles.

This is no different from those capitalists. The first thing they do before making money is to put personal morality aside.

The name of salvation of the Parthenon is purely their job, and running for goddess, getting promoted, and gaining more power is the real life.

It gives people the feeling that the result of failing to become a goddess is death, so in order to run for the goddess title, they will do anything, such as winning over the hearts and minds of their subordinates or throwing dirty water on their opponents.

It even gave rise to the Black Glove force that everyone hates, such as the Black Vatican.

"It is true that small temples are full of demons, and shallow ponds are full of turtles!"

Wang Teng sighed. If the Parthenon was in a bad situation, Asharuya would probably have to keep a backup plan to protect herself.

In the entire Parthenon, there are not many people who can gain the recognition of the Black Dragon Emperor.

As Wen Tai's adopted daughter, she is like the biological daughter of darkness. Relying on this relationship and this action of saving the black dragon, she may be able to make the black dragon her guardian beast.

In this way, even if she did not become a goddess, she would still have a say in the Parthenon.

It is also possible that it is welcoming the great changes that Valhalla will slowly bring. After all, the Pharaoh's fighting power is too strong for current humans.

The frequency and amount of contributed summoning magic power are steadily increasing, and he is the person with the most say in this regard.

Until this month, he calculated that he harvested a total of 150 units of summoning magic energy per month, and each unit was calculated as a full-state summoning super-level three-level star sea magic energy.

This includes the normal income from sacrifice contributions and summoning heroic spirits. It can be seen that the number of super-class summoning mages with full cultivation is increasing at a rapid pace all over the world.

Without the Black Dragon Emperor, the Parthenon might be torn into pieces by all kinds of inexplicable wars.

After all, many people know about the absolute dirt on the Parthenon and the Vatican, but they dare not reveal it.

Under normal circumstances, if the Parthenon continued to dominate the European continent, naturally no one would challenge the majesty of the Parthenon.

But if the internal situation is weak and the external forces are increasing invisibly, then the situation will be hard to say!
With the intelligence system of the Parthenon, he didn't believe that the other party couldn't see the current situation clearly, so this was probably the purpose of Asharuya coming to him.

"By personal will?... Women who can become saints are indeed not simple."

Wang Teng picked up the coffee and took a sip, feeling that it tasted quite bitter. To be honest, he found a little bit of himself in this woman.

Advance and retreat with reason, attack and defense with moderation!
He would still help with this favor. After all, a favor should be repaid. It doesn't matter whether it's doubled or not.

For him now, it really makes no difference whether it is doubled or not. Doubling one dollar to ten thousand dollars is just the same.
