Chapter 716 Gavin Arrives
More than 20 kilometers away from the center of Thunder City, there is a large mountain range called the Thunder Mountains.
A small part of the Thunder Mountains was developed by Thunder City as some high-risk magic experimental sites, and the mage's guild was also located here.
Most areas of the Thunder Mountain Range are undeveloped barren mountains.
Due to frequent thunderstorms, this barren mountain is barren of grass and has little development value.
Just inside an unknown peak in this barren mountain, there is a cave.
This mountain peak has been completely hollowed out, and numerous magic materials have transformed the interior of the mountain into a super large neutral city.
From common alchemy laboratories to extremely rare magic accelerators, you can find them all in this city.
In the city, tens of thousands of researchers are working diligently.
They are like machines, getting up, going to their respective research stations to conduct research, working until they are exhausted, and then eating and falling asleep.
Eschar was walking on the streets of this city. Sandro, who had completed his treatment and was in much better condition, followed him step by step.
Miraculously, the researchers who came and went seemed to ignore them at all, always avoiding them without even shifting their gaze towards them.
Sandro looked around and said to Eskel with excitement:
"Teacher, is our laboratory so complete now? I even saw the magic accelerator we have always dreamed of.
In this way, our dreams will soon come true. "
"Humph." Eschar smiled slightly and said to Sandro behind him:
"I have told you many times before that all resources, including gold coins, supplies, materials, cherished magic, etc., are accessories of power.
When I have power, these things are at my fingertips.
And power is always linked to strength. If you want to be in power, you must become stronger.
What we couldn't get when we were weak is no longer a dream when we become strong.
You will be wanted by the Lord of the Dragon Lich because you are not strong enough. "
"Yes! Teacher."
Sandro lowered his head slightly, his expression very humble.
If anyone familiar with him saw him like this, they would be very surprised.
Escher then asked:
"Sandru, do you still remember how long you have been following me?"
Sandro was silent for a moment and replied:
“It’s been so long that I can’t remember it anymore.
Teacher, when you were still a master, I became your student.
Later, teacher, you became a legend, I became a master, you became a demigod, I became a legend, and now, even I am a demigod.
Too long. "
"Yeah, it's been too long."
Escher sighed deeply and said:
“Our world is not fair.
In our world, if you want to have everything, you must have strength, and if you want to have strength, you must be recognized by Yasha.
If a soldier wants to become a hero, he needs Yasha's approval to start the path of heroism.
If a hero wants to become a master, he needs to improve his mastery of the rules.
If a master wants to become a legend, he needs to find his own path in terms of rules.
If Legend wants to become a demigod, he needs to make his rules applicable to all of Asa.
If a demigod wants to become a true god, he must practice his own rules and make sufficient contributions to the entire Yasha.
Otherwise, we can only be like those gods on earth, holding on to the Tears of Asa and remaining contented.
When we reach this stage, we have no other desire except to become a god.
But it is not that easy to accumulate enough contributions to become a god.
In the Yasha world for so many years, there are only a few of them.
I have worked so hard to pave so many roads for us, just to reach the highest. "
Sandro immediately answered:
"I have always followed my teacher closely, doing my best for our cause without any selfish motives."
"Of course I know.
Ever since you took such a big risk to steal two treasures and betrayed Brakada, I knew that you were the only one of my many disciples who could be made. "
Eschar turned around, smiled and patted Sandro on the shoulder, looking very kind:
“So don’t worry, I will never turn you into the same tool as them.
"
Eschar stretched out his hand and pointed at a passing mage. Sandro looked at the dull look in his eyes and felt a chill on his back.
He asked cautiously:
"Teacher, what should students do now? I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to go back to Diya.
Ever since I snatched the egg of the Abyssal Sea Serpent, the Lord of the Dragon Lich has become extremely malicious towards me.
The first time, I was blocked by him in the dungeon, and my egg was snatched back.
The second time, I hid in Aveli, but he still found me and sent a blood dragon clone to hunt me down.
The strange thing is that Yaojin Dragon King actually allowed the blood dragon to enter.
If it weren't for my cleverness, I'm afraid I'd be caught by him again. "
Escher touched his beard with a serious expression, thought for a long time, and then said:
"It seems that our guess is correct. This new race of abyssal sea snakes does have secrets, and the secrets are probably related to Poseidon.
Now that the Poseidon Church is on guard, we should not take action over there.
The Lord of the Dragon Lich was able to discover that you were in Avili because he left a spiritual mark on you. When we met, I helped you remove it.
Next, you will secretly go to Over, follow Selron, and guide him to create the Doomsday Blade as soon as possible. "
"The Doomsday Blade! !"
Sandro asked in shock:
"Teacher, has the plan reached that stage?"
"Yes." Escher said with a smile:
"Although I don't know what happened, based on my observation of the Arctic Ocean, the Ice Sword has awakened, and we have the conditions to launch the plan of annihilation.
If we can remove those places eroded by chaos from the world of Yasha at once, the merits we get should be enough for me to be deified."
"That's true! That's true!"
Sandro trembled in place with excitement.
"That's great."
"Humph."
Escher turned his head and smiled at Sandro:
"Don't force yourself to act like a young man. Whether as an undead or as a grown-up Sandro, you shouldn't have so many emotional fluctuations.
Although I am ruthless, I am rational enough.
You are valuable enough to me, so I will not give up on you. "
"Yes, teacher."
Sandro's face changed in an instant, and his face was cold, like a dead person.
"This is much more normal."
Aescher waved his hand and disappeared with Sandro.
...
...
The next day, Thunder City, Agaide Mansion.
A grand banquet was being held.
There were a total of ten floors in the magic tower, and nine floors were used as banquet halls. However, only the VIPs who had invitations and could enter the ninth floor were qualified to meet Agaide and Xingfeng and congratulate them in person.
Seven Pigeons took Serena's hand and shuttled back and forth among many powerful Bracada dignitaries, chatting and laughing freely.
Serena was not good at speaking, so she could only stand beside Seven Pigeons and smile politely.
She often She often looked at Qi Ge secretly with admiration in the intervals between walking. With a somewhat weird personality and a dead-end, she had no way to deal with all kinds of people like Qi Ge.
Even those who were teasing and joking with her and Qi Ge could be dealt with by Qi Ge smoothly and humorously.
After three rounds of drinks, the guests were almost here.
Agaid clapped his hands on the high platform, attracting everyone's attention.
He said with a smile:
"Thank you all for coming here in your busy schedule to attend the celebration ceremony of my apprentice's promotion to a master architect.
A while ago, our great Yasha gods broke the chaos in the war of gods, reversing the unfavorable situation of passive defense in our Yasha world.
Now, my apprentice has been promoted to a master again.
This is definitely a double happiness for us Bracada.
I, old Agaid, am here, on behalf of me and my apprentice, invite you to raise your glasses to celebrate together!"
Agaid raised his glass, and everyone smiled and raised their glasses to drink.
"Hahahaha. ”
After the opening ceremony, it was time for dinner.
Escher held up his cane, patted Qi Ge on the shoulder, and walked up with Qi Ge.
He looked around with a smile, and said to Agaide:
"Agaide, I made a bet with you before, saying that if Xing Feng could be promoted to master within a year, I would propose in the Grand Council that Xing Feng take over your previous position and be promoted to permanent.
As a result, Xing Feng did it in less than half a year.
Now I wonder if you set a trap for me.
Tell me the truth, when you made the bet with me, was Xing Feng about to become a master?
Good boy, after so many years, you are still so rude. ”
"Hahaha."
Agaide raised his head and smiled, and the people in the audience also laughed in a friendly way.
However, many ordinary members who wanted to run for permanent office today had very reluctant smiles on their faces.
"How could that be possible?"
Qi Ge followed Escher's words and said shyly:
"I am really lucky.
Grand Speaker, that was a joke between you and the teacher, don't take it seriously.
I am not even worthy of being an honorary permanent member, how can I be qualified to be a permanent member. "
Ha, ha...
Hearing Qi Ge's words, the parliamentarians in the audience laughed so hard that their faces twitched.
You are a Hydra, why are you pretending to be a three-headed dog of hell in front of me?
Xingfeng, damn it, is determined to fight for the position.
"Hahaha. That won't work. People who know me know that I am a person who always accepts defeat.
Words spoken, water spilled, can't be taken back. "
Aescher turned around with a smile and said to Agaide:
"There will be another regular meeting the day after tomorrow, and I will nominate Xingfeng to join the permanent election at that time.
I remember how many permanent members are required to nominate permanent members.
Oh, it seems to be three.
Agaide, you one, me one, why is there still one missing?"
As soon as Aescher finished speaking, three voices suddenly rang out on the field at the same time.
"And me. ”*4
When the councillors who were going to compete with the Seven Pigeons saw this, they immediately had a heart attack.
Trosa, Deris, Fafner!
The leaders of the three factions of industry, logistics, and war, plus the chief of the magic faction, Escher, who was the grand speaker on the stage, all four factions were present.
Well, there was no need to even hold a meeting.
If all four leaders agreed, then why would they initiate a vote in the Grand Council? Who would dare to vote against their own leader?
Unless someone had the ability to find a demigod to oppose it.
One demigod was not enough, at least two were needed to have hope.
"Oh~~~" Agaide dragged out a long sound and said with emotion:
"Everyone, thank you for your kindness. It is a great blessing for Xingfeng to have your help."
"It seems that His Highness Xingfeng is the one that everyone expects."
"That's right, if it weren't for his lack of strength before, His Highness Xingfeng would be qualified to be a permanent official just by virtue of his achievements in recovering the Demon King's territory."
"If His Highness Xingfeng can't be elected as a permanent official, I will be the first to disagree."
Seeing that the hope of a comeback was slim, everyone stood in line and expressed their opinions, and all added fuel to the already burning firewood.
They all rushed to the front, and their voices were louder and louder, fearing that they would not be able to make their faces familiar.
"Haha." At this time, Escher laughed and fanned the flames:
"No need for so many, three is enough.
Trosa, Fafner, Deris, which of you three will come to recommend Xingfeng with us?
Or, you decide for yourselves first?"
"It must be me, it can't be Trosa, right?"
Fafner glanced at Trosa and said:
"Whether it is the relationship with Agaide or the relationship with Xingfeng, Trosa can't compare with me."
"Humph. That may not be the case. Do you want to ask Xingfeng yourself who he chooses?"
Trosa and Fafner immediately set up a stage with each other in a clear faction, and the gunpowder smell suddenly increased.
The relationship between these two people is like this, incompatible with each other.
At this moment, Deris covered her mouth and laughed:
"You two, why bother? Anyway, there are three permanent recommendations, it doesn't matter who makes the recommendation.
Don't argue with me, a little girl."
Seeing the three people staring at each other, a gentle laugh suddenly sounded at the door.
"Hehehe.
Why don't you all stop arguing, it will hurt your harmony.
Let me nominate."
Everyone turned their heads to look outside the door, and for a while, the sound of inhaling was heard frequently.
"Your Excellency Gavin!"
"Your Excellency Gavin is back!"
"Your Excellency Gavin actually came in person!!"
Qi Ge looked at the white-robed wizard who looked gentle and elegant, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Gavin, the incarnation of El Zeus, was an old fox who tortured Tanan to death when he was young.
Beside Qi Ge, Escher and Agaide, who were just at ease, ran to the stage with their robes in hand. The three chiefs who were arguing also stepped aside and made way.
Qi Ge saw this and hurried to follow.
"Your Excellency, it's been a long time since we last met. I am Agaide, and I greet you."
Agaide bowed respectfully to Gavin.
"Your Excellency, it's the first time we meet. I am Xingfeng, the apprentice of Agaide."
Qi Ge also bowed to Gavin very obediently.
Gavin nodded with a smile, turned around and said to Escher beside him:
"I haven't been back for a long time. I didn't expect you to become the Grand Speaker.
The last time we met was when you became a dark horse and successfully ran for the head of the Mage Guild.
Escher, Somla told me that you were very powerful, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful.
It's amazing."
"Thanks to you, it's just luck."
Escher touched his beard in distress:
"This position is really a big responsibility for me.
Since the day I took office, I haven't had a good sleep, and my beard has fallen off a lot."
"Haha. I think you've done a good job.
I heard from the Thunder Temple that since you took office, the revenue of the Thunder Temple has doubled.
With the size of the Thunder Temple, it is not easy to achieve this.
This is Bracada, after all, it is everyone's Bracada.
There are some complaints from the people, you still have to deal with them properly.
Now is a rare change in a thousand years, and the master is doing many big things.
We Bracada can't be chaotic. "
Escher understood the dissatisfaction and complaints in Gavin's mouth, and immediately said seriously:
"That's right, your Excellency, don't worry, a series of economic stimulus plans and support plans have been implemented, and I believe the situation will soon get better. "
"That's good."
Gavin looked at Qi Ge with a smile and asked:
"Although this is the first time we meet, I have heard your name many times.
Xingfeng, let me ask you, you are a permanent member of the Great Council, then do you know what it means to be a permanent member of the Great Council?"
What does it mean? It means unregulated power? It means the right to be exempt from trial? It means endless wealth?
Qi Ge certainly can't answer like this.
He immediately said:
"The permanent members of the Grand Council have the power to make and amend laws. They can propose bills, and after the Grand Council's deliberation, the bills will be signed into law by the President.
The permanent members of the Grand Council have the power to supervise the behavior of the city lords of each main city. They can require the city lords to attend hearings, announce the policies and behaviors of the main cities to the public, and investigate the behavior and management of organizations at all levels to ensure that the main cities at all levels abide by the laws of the Thunder Temple and the Grand Council and perform their duties.
At the same time, the permanent members have the power to approve the budgets of Bracada at all levels. They can decide Bracada's expenditures and incomes and ensure the reasonable allocation and use of Bracada's funds.
As representatives of the members at all levels, the members are representatives of many voters.
The permanent members have the responsibility to listen to and reflect the opinions and needs of the members and voters.
They must keep in touch with the many members and voters and report their work to the voters regularly.
Permanent members have the duty to vote in Congress to decide on major issues. They must make decisions based on their conscience and the interests of their constituents.
Permanent members have the duty to uphold the sanctity of the Thunder Temple. They must ensure that the laws of Bracada are in the interests of the Thunder Temple and take action to prevent violations of the law.
Permanent members must be loyal to their constituents, loyal to the Thunder Temple, and serve its interests. We cannot betray the trust of our constituents and the Titans, and we cannot use our power for personal gain. "
"In summary, members of the Grand Council are members who seek development, construction, and stability for Bracada.
Permanent members are members who work hard and tirelessly for the development, construction, and stability of Bracada. "
"Good. "
"Great. "
"Insightful. "
"Your Highness is so insightful at such a young age, and he is indeed worthy of being the apprentice of His Majesty Argaide. "
As soon as Qi Ge said this, many dignitaries present nodded their heads one after another, their eyes shining in agreement.
They all felt that Qi Ge's words were brilliant and to the point.
