“Pah pah pah pah!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Eschel immediately led the applause, and then the applause roared like a tide, resounding throughout the entire venue.
Even Picklejam, who didn't get along well with Starbreeze, was smiling and looked happy.
"Wow! A master architect! Isn't this the same as His Majesty Argaide?"
“Heroes emerge young!”
"Your Highness Xingfeng is not even 25 years old. Even His Majesty Argaide didn't achieve the master's breakthrough so quickly."
"Not only that, it even surpassed His Excellency Krulod's record."
“Your Highness Xingfeng is still so young.
I have said it before, His Highness Xingfeng is a genius who is no less talented than His Majesty Serena."
"What do you mean by a perfect match? A perfect match! Even His Majesty Somla can't find fault with them now."
"Long live His Highness Xingfeng, may Bracada be forever glorious!"
Aged stood up with a smile and waved his hands in all directions.
The applause lasted for several minutes before gradually dying down.
At this time, Aged smiled and said:
"Haha. My disciple was lucky enough to have made some small gains while traveling in Diya.
Because of a small matter, he couldn't come back to share the joy with everyone, and he asked me to apologize to everyone.
But don't worry, he is coming back as fast as he can.
A grand celebration will be held at my residence tomorrow night.
On the one hand, it is to celebrate my apprentice becoming a master, and on the other hand, it is also to celebrate the victory of the gods.
I, Aged, on behalf of our master and disciple, solemnly invite everyone to participate in our celebration ceremony!
The formal invitation will be sent later. ”
"good!"
Escher led the applause again, and there was another thunderous applause.
Amid the applause, everyone's face was filled with happiness and joy, and the problems in Bracada that were close to devastating the people seemed to have disappeared in the applause.
…
The Great Council had not long ended.
On the brightly lit streets of Thunder City, nine beauties dressed in red followed closely behind a young man.
In their hands, they each held an extremely gorgeous silver plate, and on each plate was a conspicuous red invitation.
Qi Ge walked in the front with his head held high. Wherever he walked, countless mages looked at him sideways.
Although everyone was not sure about Qi Ge's identity, once they saw his posture, they all knew that he was either rich or noble. They only dared to watch from afar and did not dare to get close.
…
In the Thunder Tower.
"Report! Your Majesty. His Highness Xingfeng is here to deliver the invitation!"
"Teacher, Xingfeng's invitation."
Serena timidly handed the invitation to Somla who was recovering from his injuries.
Somla took the invitation and flipped through it casually.
"Oh, this kid, a master? He works really hard and he's not lazy at all."
Somla unfolded the perspective atmosphere and looked at Qi Ge, who was parading around with nine vampire maids, and snorted with amusement:
"He is so arrogant, as if he is afraid that everyone in the world doesn't know about it.
Xingfeng is capable and low-key, so he definitely wouldn't do such a thing.
It's obvious that this was Aged's idea. He was determined to pave the way for Xingfeng and let him climb up in the Grand Council.
He has already been an honorary permanent official. If he climbs up a level, he will become a permanent official. The end is coming soon. I don’t know why Agaid is in such a hurry.
Why, he wouldn't want to wait for Escher to come down, and then let Xingfeng or himself compete for the position of Grand Chancellor, right?
Haha, he was overthinking it.
Once Escher sits in that position, he will never get down so easily."
"Teacher, shall we go or not?"
Serena asked quietly, playing with her fingers.
Somla gave her an unpleasant look:
"Look at you, you haven't even entered the house yet. Why, are you in such a hurry to hold his hand and be the hostess at the celebration party?
Oh, then you better hurry up.
Otherwise, what about the nine beautiful maids? Xingfeng won’t be able to come out when it’s your turn.
How about you give me a box of energy potions as a gift? That way you can use it on yourself, which is worth it."
"Teacher~ What can't come out? You're annoying!"
Serena blushed in embarrassment at Somla.
Somla smiled and shook his head, thinking that these short-lived mages were really interesting.
…
…
"Oh? The invitation arrived. Really quick.
The last time I heard of him, it seemed like he had only just become a hero. I hadn’t even met him yet, but he was already a master.”
A hero dressed in a neat red wizard robe was playing with the invitation in his hand with a faint smile on his face.
Trosa stood beside him, bowed and asked:
"Great Sage, do you want to go meet him?"
"I would like to go, but these are troubled times.
Recently, news came from Krulod that some barbarians seemed to be not very honest.
The master is very concerned about the situation over there, and one guy like Tanan is enough."
"Great Sage, do you mean that you want to go over there and watch it in person?"
Trosa asked cautiously.
The red-robed wizard put down the invitation and said softly:
“I won’t go, but I have to go to guard the border. The master has given a death order, and we have to leave tonight.
I can't wait for the dinner, so I'll take some time to visit them, master and apprentice."
Trosa's face changed:
"Great Sage, you are visiting me? This... you are too polite.
If it doesn't work, I'll go say hello to Agaide Xingfeng, and I promise they'll come to see you right away."
"Trosa!"
The red wizard interrupted him.
"How many times have I told you not to think that strength can decide everything.
Although Agaide was not a demigod, he was an architect, had a noble status, and was naturally one level higher.
There is no difference between my position and that of Agaide in the Lord's heart.
As an only child like him, no amount of respect is too much for him.
Maybe, in a dozen years, he will be the next Credel, and by then, he will be the Speaker of the House. I can't compete with him."
"this……"
Trosa hesitated:
“It’s not that I look down on His Majesty Arged, but he is a true legend who just broke through at the end of his life. Becoming a demigod is a bit too difficult for him.”
"Hmm. You don't understand~"
The red-robed wizard laughed meaningfully:
“The profession of architect is very magical . If the teacher is good, the apprentice may not be good, but if the apprentice is good, the teacher will definitely be good.
Aged's disciple is very powerful.
He had already conquered the Demon King, and without a master, he had recovered the entire northern border.
That’s more than 20 million building spaces, countless resources and minerals, a huge achievement.
This is no longer a talent, but a real strength. In my opinion, he may be even more terrifying than Kreider. "
When Trosa heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
He made a knife-like gesture, chopped it in the air, and asked:
"Your Majesty, will he have any influence on our plan? Should we…"
"Don't be impulsive."
The red-robed wizard shook his head and said:
"I'll observe further."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
…
…
"So, His Majesty the Dragon Slayer has been transferred to the Chaos Border? That's really unfortunate."
Qi Ge sighed deeply and said to the lamp goddess who had been staring at his collarbone:
"Could you please send a letter to His Majesty for me? And deliver my gift to him at the same time.
The teacher said that this joy must be shared with all the venerable ones."
"Of course, handsome boy."
The lamp goddess floated in front of Qi Ge and whispered:
“What a pity, otherwise I could go with my master to celebrate with you.
Sister, I like young people like you the most, and I will definitely prepare a big surprise for you."
When Qi Ge heard this, he immediately understood.
He immediately said:
“Your Majesty, I really didn’t know that there was a legend like you in the family of the Dragon Slayer, otherwise I would have prepared two invitations.
I have a blank invitation card with me. Can you tell me your name? I will write it right away."
"hehe."
The genie touched Qi Ge's chin frivolously, then flew back swayingly.
"No, I was just kidding. The master is away, so I have to keep the house safe for him.
If you are interested, you can bring me some good wine after the party, and I will celebrate for you all night.
As for my name... when you come over, I'll tell you mouth to mouth."
Which mouth?
Qi Ge opened his mouth but didn't ask.
He tried hard to maintain his persona and said respectfully:
"Okay, Your Majesty, please convey my greetings to His Majesty."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
After leaving the Dragon Slayer’s underground mage tower, Qi Ge rubbed his head with a headache.
No wonder he felt that the guards' attitude was so strange when he went to visit the Great Sage Sedlos . It turned out that the Great Sage had returned.
Fortunately, I was cautious and even sent the visiting card from the great sage.
"You can't blame the teacher for this. It's normal for the teacher not to get the news of such a core confidential event as the demigod's rotation.
I just don't know why Dragon Slayer and Sedlos suddenly switched defenses.
I originally wanted to sound out His Majesty the Dragon Slayer before visiting Gavin, but unfortunately, I can only take one step at a time and rely on my own on-the-spot reaction to deal with that old fox."
"Let's go."
"Yes, Master."
At Qi Ge's command, the nine delicate vampires in red wedding dresses responded in unison.
Gavin's residence is near the Thunder Temple above the thunderclouds. It is the most heavily guarded and the farthest from the Mage Tower in Arged.
To go there, you must first examine the pass token you received to go above the thundercloud.
Although Qi Ge's current status allows him to take the back door, there is no need to break such rules.
When Qi Ge brought the maids to Thundercloud Square, he was surprised to find that someone was giving a speech in Thundercloud Square.
Qi Ge got closer and heard a ragged wizard standing on a high platform shouting to the many wizards gathered below the platform:
“According to our survey, it is estimated that 2% of Bracada people own 95% of Bracada’s wealth!
More than 80% of Bracadas are unable to repay their loans.
The wealth has been taken away by the rich, so what’s the point of encouraging us poor people to consume?
What man at a banquet would let one man take from the table the equivalent of nine-tenths of what the others were going to eat?
The only way to keep everyone fed is to let that person come back and bring back the extra food!
I am from Stormwind City. In Thunder City, I am an absolute outsider and a poor person.
You who are standing here are outsiders and poor people just like me.
Wake up, no one will help us poor people except yourselves and myself!
Give me your votes and let me be a reserve member of the Grand Council.
The first thing I will do is to let the nobles pay to build more free air routes in Stormwind City, Frost Territory, and all poor places.
Clear away storm clouds, frost birds, thunderstorms, and anything else that gets in your way.
This way we can visit our poor friends more often.
I will build more magic schools in remote cities, give your children free books, quills and magic workbooks so that they can study, and then let them enter the War Academy I will build to become a great pioneering wizard.
They will fight with the glory of the gods at the border of chaos, write the sky with magic, suppress chaos with wisdom, and then win rewards from the gods and Mother Yasha that are enough to turn things around!
Each of them can go to school and enjoy three free meals, even if they cannot afford the tuition of a gold coin , just like those rich people!
..."
Qi Ge was looking at the wizard on the podium. His clothes were very tattered, but his expression was very excited, and there were bright stars in his eyes.
He danced on the podium, loudly declaring his ideals and revenge.
The mages below the podium were all attracted by his speech and watched him attentively.
“I never thought there would be such a smart person in Bracada…
This is indeed a way out for Bracada.
When the pie cannot be divided evenly no matter how you divide it, open source it to the outside world to make the pie bigger again.
In this way, even if the share is small, the remaining mages of Bracada will have enough to survive and still retain the ladder to ascend.
That’s great. Unfortunately, I don’t like smart people now.”
Ye Yao, who was standing close to Qi Ge, heard Qi Ge's murmurs and asked, "Master, do you want us to do it? We promise to do it very cleanly and not leave any traces behind."
On the Seventh Dove's chest, the goddess of vengeance, Maeve, was also leaping, waiting for the Seventh Dove's order.
Qi Ge shook his head and looked deeply at the wizard on the stage with a complicated expression.
"We don't have to do anything. He's smart, but not smart enough.
He shouldn't be giving this speech here. He shouldn't think being a reserve member of the Grand Council would change anything.
He will die, soon."
"let's go."
Qi Ge looked deeply at the unknown wizard, turned around and said.
"Master, do you want to find out his name?"
"No need for that. There's nothing to look up about a dead person's name."
Qi Ge shook his head.
When Qi Ge was about to walk out of Thundercloud Square, he couldn't help but stop and listen for a while.
“The biggest problem in Bracada is that all that extravagance, all that great joy and revelry, belongs to a minority of people!
Most people were starving and cold.
Especially those goblins, especially those humans without magic powers, and us!
When I look around the country, I see that most people are starving, but the food is rotting.
I saw homeless people sleeping on the streets and thousands of wizard towers standing empty.
I saw that Chaos Border was short of troops, but most of the troops died in obscurity.
I often wonder what kind of road we are on? Where are we heading? Is this Bracada really correct?
No one, not even a goblin or wizard, should beg for food.
My hope and yours should not be taken away!"
Applause broke out, and the tattered wizard on the stage bathed in the applause, his expression sacred and his eyes as bright as stars.
"I hope so... It's rare to have a wizard who can see fairies in his eyes." Qi Ge sighed softly:
"Check it out. If possible, save him. If not, at least let me leave a tombstone for him."
