Chapter 439 Representative
“Ms. Mei Weng is overrated.”
Gilan grabbed her hat with one hand and put her staff behind her back with the other, bowing slightly in salute.
“I have only been able to see further by standing on the shoulders of giants. The small achievements I have now are also due to the careful teaching of teachers and the guidance and inspiration of the mystical works of great men.”< br>
“Mr. Blood Owl is so humble.”
Ms. Mei Weng chuckled a few times, shook her head and sighed:
"It seems that you not only learned knowledge from Pala, but also learned the virtues of knights."
The smile on her face Under the plaster old man's mask, a pair of admiring blue eyes full of wind, frost and wisdom.
“Not bad, not bad.”
After a moment of silence, the lady looked around.
It was approaching eight o'clock, and almost all the members of the secret sect "Midnight Rose" had arrived, about fifty or sixty of them.
Among the people present, most of them are level 4 "fertile" long-lasting people, and a few are level 5 "splendid". As for the sixth level "power" level, there is only Ms. Mei Weng.
"Everyone, I'm sorry to disturb your repair or research."
The lady raised the volume slightly.
“But this time things are different from the past, so we have to call everyone here to discuss.”
She said, raising her sleeves and waving them.
“Let’s sit down and talk.”
Huh——
A strong wind blew.
Everyone backed away in tacit agreement.
A complex purple-black alchemy array appeared out of thin air on the ground in the center of the open space, and soon a white marble round table with a diameter of more than ten meters was made on the spot.
The table is also equipped with a corresponding number of high-back chairs.
Everyone present took their seats one after another.
"The 'White Sage' is busy and unable to attend this gathering, so we won't wait for him..."
Ms. Mei Weng sat down at the main seat and said.
To her left and right, there are seats arranged in order with the chess holders of "Chariot", "Bishop" and "Knight".
The remaining members are all "soldier" chess, so there is no special treatment.
Jilan sat between the old man who made the staff and Miss Sparks. There were some prepared snacks and drinks in front of him, but he did not touch them impolitely.
After everyone sat down and looked like they were listening, Ms. Mei Weng then spoke loudly:
“Yesterday, ‘Tiangong Dawn’ sent someone to contact me, saying that Bremen in this world The war between the Empire and the Owena Federation may cause unpredictable casualties and large-scale environmental damage, and there is no guarantee that mankind's 'Dark Age' will not occur again. ”
"All life is in ruins and civilization is in retreat."
"Evil breeds and chaos spreads."
"Countless ordinary people are in troubled times and will be unable to resist and drift with the tide. In the end...not to mention a single meal and clothing, they will not be able to survive." The most basic dignity of being a human being will become a luxury.”
Ms. Mei Weng’s tone was very serious.
No one present spoke out to refute, but their faces became very solemn.
Everyone is a well-read alchemist, well versed in history and humanities, and they are in the right place at the right time. Hundreds and thousands of years ago in the Middle Ages, we experienced a period of "Dark Ages."
Human beings struggle to survive under the rule of various harsh environments, monsters, cults, and even tyrants.
In any ancient book with relevant records, you can smell the rich blood and hear the endless screams, shouts and crying between the lines.
No one wants those terrible times to come again.
“Ms. Mei Ong, so ‘Tianguong Dawn’ intends to prevent the war between the two countries?”
At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing a high-collared robe asked.
Ms. Mei Weng shook her head.
“That’s not the case.”
She sighed and said:
“There are too many implications behind the dispute between the two countries... Even ‘Tiangong Dawn’ Nothing can be done to stop this.”
"What do they mean?" someone asked again.
"Just try to reduce the level of chaos and control the aftermath of the war within an acceptable range."
Ms. Mei Weng said.
She paused for a moment, and under the plaster old man's mask, those green eyes calmly scanned the people present.
“Many esoteric societies in the world have their own agendas, and either because of interests or because of beliefs, they side with the two overlords... In this war, they will inevitably get involved, leading to increasing chaos and intensity of struggle. Eventually out of control.”
"The intention of 'Tiangong Dawn' is just to take the lead in contacting six large-scale esoteric secret societies, including our 'Midnight Rose', to restrain interference in the mysterious field in the form of a gambling battle."
"That's it. . ”
Everyone looked at each other, and then they were thoughtful.
Scattered whispers and discussions gradually began.
The old staff maker beside Jilan even patted the table in agreement.
"Ms. Mei Weng, it's not that I question the authority of 'Tiangong Dawn', it's just that no one has seen those mysterious guys. How can we ensure that this so-called 'gambling battle' is fair and effective?"
Another member asked.
This man is none other than the strong man who questioned his strength on the spot when he was a religious in Jilan, Mr. Yadeng.
His words spoke the thoughts of many people. The members looked at the leader, wanting to see what Ms. Mei Weng said.
“I can understand everyone’s doubts. After all, even I don’t have much contact with ‘Tiangong Dawn’.”
Ms. Mayon nodded.
“But what I can guarantee is that the ‘Tiangong Dawn’ is indeed as rumored, and its members are all ascendants... This leading gambling battle is also due to the fact that a group of extraterrestrial beings do not want to see suffering. Intensified."
"..."
Everyone looked shocked.
Ms. Mei Weng never speaks nonsense, and she also has a very high reputation among "Ye Mei".
Everyone still believed her words.
I just didn’t expect that “Tiangong Dawn” is really a mysterious force composed of ascendants!
This makes sense...
After all, the operation of all things in the world is the manifestation of Sichen's law. And this group of ascendants who belong to the gods will naturally intervene in the war between the two countries to ensure that the situation does not get out of control.
“The person who came to contact me this time was the ‘Queen of Diamonds’, one of the four leaders of ‘Tiangong Dawn’.”
Ms. Mei Weng spoke up again.
"He...His honorable name cannot be revealed, but he is a true apostle."
"?!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
Apostle…
That is the "angel" as it was honored in ancient times.
Si Chen has at most four apostles, but such a mythical figure personally took action to contact Ms. Mei Weng.
Everyone was in awe and inexplicably honored.
There is a sense of unreality.
“Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me.”
Ms. Mei Weng raised her hand to signal.
When everyone's discussion gradually died down, she added:
"In addition to our 'Midnight Rose', 'Tiangong Dawn' also contacted the 'Stars Hermitage', Society', 'Chorus', 'Ascetic Sect' and 'White Dove Tower'"
"Although the six forces are not directly affiliated with the two countries, they have more or less connections. As time goes by, there is no guarantee that they will not intervene in the war and strive for the victory of the supporting side. "
"So the position of 'Tiangong Dawn' is very clear. They will be the referee of this gambling battle, and each of our six forces will. Send two members as representatives to have a fight at the designated location..."
"The ultimate winner has the right to dictate the rules."
Ms. Mei Weng's words were very clear.
Everyone also understood.
The discussion became louder and louder.
“The content of the gambling battle is so simple and direct?”
Miss Sparks on the other side of Gillan said in surprise.
“But a battle involving actual combat is too detrimental to us alchemists... Moreover, although we are leaning towards the Bremen Empire, we will not end up fighting to the death!”
"Miss Sparks, your idea is too one-sided."
A man two seats away shook his head and spoke.
“Even if we don’t end up, we will be forced by the situation... Without the gambling battle led by ‘Tiangong Dawn’, I’m afraid the situation will only be worse.”
"Not bad." Someone else agreed. "It is better to send representatives to have a gambling fight than to drag the entire 'Ye Mei' into the water."
"Past history has clearly told us that a war of this magnitude will affect the entire world! No one can stay out of it. !" Miss Sparks wanted to argue, but then she thought about it and felt that this was the case.
“I can’t help myself…” She shook her head with emotion.
Many members present felt as helpless as she did.
Even though he had never caused any trouble, he was just studying knowledge and pursuing the truth with peace of mind, yet he was forced to get involved in such a struggle.
No choice.
But this is reality.
"Everyone..."
Ms. Mei Weng raised her hand.
"This is roughly the situation, so we are convening this time to discuss the candidates for the two representatives."
"Is there anyone who volunteers to be the gambling representative?"
"... …”
For a moment, there was silence.
Everyone knows it.
None of the other five forces are simple.
And most of their "Midnight Roses" are alchemists and are not good at fighting.
This matter is not a trivial matter, people will die!
And even if he dies, it will also cause "Ye Mei" to completely lose the right to speak in this war!
Although the management of "Ye Mei" is loose, every member has feelings for this big family. After all, they have stayed there for decades or even hundreds of years...
No one dares to pat their chest and say that they will definitely win.
Ms. Mei Weng looked at the deserted scene. Although she was disappointed, she did not criticize anyone out loud.
Because of everyone’s concerns, she knows very well.
"The leader is not allowed to participate in this gambling fight, otherwise I will go there personally..."
Ms. Mei Weng sighed.
"Originally the best candidate was the 'White Sage', but he happened not to be here."
"It can be expected that the representatives sent by the other five forces will at least be long-term people. I am afraid that the fourth level It is not safe, so it is mostly level 5..."
"As for level 6... this possibility is not ruled out, but the probability is small."
Everyone also understood what Ms. Mei Weng said.
Level 6 is the limit of the world.
Even among their six largest secret societies, there are only a few such strong men.
Sending such a "backbone" for a gambling fight is a very risky decision.
What's more, the 6th-level "power" level Kusei must be at the top of the force. Whether they want to take action or not depends entirely on their own wishes, and no one can force them.
We are only one step away from ascension. I am afraid that few Level 6 people would be willing to engage in such a life-and-death battle.
“Baron Opal, are you willing to fight?”
Ms. Mei Weng turned her head, looked at the man who was taller and fatter, and asked.
"Madam, this..." Baron Opal carefully took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"You know me, I hate fighting, and I am not good at fighting... If it is a competition for the ability to make money, I would happily go to the battle."
"Oh." Ms. Mei Weng Looked to the other side. "Ms. Crow, what about you?"
"Ms. Mei Weng, I'm afraid I can't take on such a big responsibility."
Ms. Crow sat elegantly and shook her head.
The leader sighed again when he saw this.
She turned her head again and looked at the others.
"Mr. Floating?"
"I'm just an old man who studies machinery. If I go up to compete with those strong men, I'm afraid my bones will be torn apart on the spot..."
"Clockmaker?"
"Ah, Sir Chief, this old man is just a watch seller, how can he fight and kill."
"No one wants to fight?"
< br>Ms. Mei Weng’s tone became calmer.
Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly stood up, attracting the attention of everyone present. The man took a deep breath and glanced at everyone with a look of disdain.
"I'm willing to go!"
Yak Ding clenched his fists and was full of momentum.
“Countless people have been displaced due to war in the world. I don’t want to see more people end up tragically due to the unscrupulous struggle between mysterious forces.”
“Yak... ”
Everyone was surprised.
In fact, they also understand this person's temperament. He is upright and upright. It is in line with his personality to be able to stand up at this time.
After all, Mr. Ding’s true nature is “the referee”.
"Mr. Ding, are you sure you want to participate in the gambling battle on behalf of 'Ye Mei'?"
Ms. Mei Weng hesitated for a moment.
“But you are only at level 4. This trip may be extremely risky...”
"I know." Yak Ding shook his head. "But I am not afraid... I have been with Yemei for twenty-three years. During these years, I have gotten along well with everyone and learned a lot." Progress. Perhaps... fighting for 'Ye Mei' is the best way to fulfill the principle of 'equivalent exchange'."
Hearing this, everyone was quite touched.
Actually, Yadeng is not a qualified alchemist, and he does not have a high talent in this area.
But everyone never hated him.
But such an ordinary member impressed everyone present and made them feel inexplicably ashamed.
“Blood Owl!” Yak Ding suddenly turned his head, stared straight at the purple-eyed young man, and said with a smile. "When you joined 'Ye Mei', I heard that you were good at actual combat. I'm sorry that I doubted you at that time."
"How about the two of us participating in this six-party gambling fight together?"
Everyone looked at Jilan in unison.
Gilan slowly took off his hat and put it on the table.
Then, he stood up under the gaze of everyone.
He looked around with an elegant smile.
"I am willing to participate in the gambling battle on behalf of 'Ye Mei'..."
Jilan spoke slowly.
“It just so happens that I still have some grievances with several of these forces, so I will take this opportunity to repay them.”
Everyone was silent, looking at the two people standing up with admiration in their hearts.
Baron Opal, Lady Crow, Mr. Floating and the Pendulum Maker and other fifth-level members all nodded secretly.
“However, I want to participate in this gambling fight alone.”
Gilan turned to look at Ms. Mei Weng in the first seat.
“Let me represent ‘Ye Mei’ alone, madam.”
"Blood Owl! What do you mean?"
Yak Ding frowned and shouted.
“You look down on me?”
Gilan glanced at him and shook his head in a friendly manner.
At this time, Ms. Mei Weng spoke:
"Blood Owl, you are indeed the most suitable candidate for the bet... But if the 'White Sage' knows about it, I'm afraid he will blame me for this."
"No, madam. Even if the teacher is present, he will definitely support me. "
Jilan smiled and shook his head.
"Because the teacher said that a strong man never grows up under protection...On the contrary, he will ask me to join the battle!"
He looked at everyone and raised the Blood Staff.
"You are alchemy masters who seek the truth and have painstakingly studied knowledge. It is really difficult for you to fight... On behalf of everyone, I am willing to fight against the other five esoteric secret societies!"
All the members present are unfaithful. Moved.
This young man...
It’s hard not to like him.
