Power Struggle

"As you think, teacher, they didn't dare to blindly stand aside at this critical moment, so when the jury voted, almost all of them voted to postpone the date."

"The next award voting day is in one month."

"Up to now, the jury is still in chaos, and I guess they will continue to choose to postpone the date."

It is not surprising that Vernon heard such news. The news that he requested help from Northern Lands Society has spread to the entire the Alliance. This news really shocked the entire the Alliance.

If it were not too late, the news that he provided Transmutation School's exclusive knowledge to Northern Lands Society had not spread, otherwise this news would have continued to shock the entire the Alliance.

By then, the jury will know that it is impossible to continue to postpone the selection date, because by then, there will be countless forces forcing them to make a choice.

"What do other School say?" Vernon asked Scott.

"Most School have remained silent and have not expressed any opinions on this matter. Their top three seats have all remained silent on this issue."

"Only the third seat of Law School expressed his opinion on the teacher's request for help from Northern Lands Society..."

""He said,"Scott looked strange, as if he heard something that surprised him. "This behavior sets a good example for the Alliance all mages to help each other."

Vernon I'm not surprised why that person said such incomprehensible words. It was just to reduce the impact of taking sides, so he said some inexplicable words.

The third seat of Law School just took a stand on this matter, rather than expressing an objection, which shows that he will lean towards Northern Lands Society on this matter.

As long as this person says a neutral word, everyone will assume that he is on the side of Northern Lands Society. After all, in this matter, as long as you don't explicitly oppose it, you are on the opposite side of the Alliance traditionalists.

"By the way, no one has jumped out to oppose my move now?" Vernon suddenly asked.

"Answer teacher, it is indeed no." Scott replied without thinking.

High-Order Mage people still cherish their feathers too much, and no one of them wants to be the one who stands out and attracts firepower.

This led to a very strange phenomenon. Vernon knew that there were many mages in the Alliance who opposed him at this time. The mages of the Alliance also knew that there were many mages in the Alliance who would oppose Vernon.

But now, the story of him asking for help from Northern Lands Society and going to Snow Bear to retrieve something is still on the cover of all newspapers.

No one jumped out to oppose him, and no one was secretly trying to spread any unfavorable remarks about him. The entire the Alliance fell into a strange silence.

"What about Iris's old friend Preston? Didn't he express any opinions on this matter? For example, he attacked me for not calling Battle Mage Corps in accordance with the laws stipulated by the Alliance, or did Northern Lands Society's Battle Mage Corps violate the rules?"

Preston is the biggest promoter of the establishment of Northern Lands Society. The reason why Northern Lands Society of Iris was assigned to the station over there at Northern Territory is because this person is obviously responsible.

All documents of Northern Lands Society are signed by this person. Regardless of whether Preston has any conflict with Iris, on the surface, the two of them should have a sworn hatred.

Logically speaking, at this time, Preston should be launched as a clear flag against Iris, but nothing has happened now.

"I was just about to tell you that I just received a report from relevant parties yesterday."

Scott replied immediately.

"According to Necromancy School's records, Preston went to Abyss Mouth No. 3 two months ago. As you know, good magic communication is not possible there at all. There is no news about Preston now."

Vernon covered his forehead, not knowing what to do next.

To be honest, he was already prepared to be besieged by most Schools after his actions were published in the newspapers.

But the current situation really left him a little confused.

Who can tell him that after his move to provoke all the Alliance traditionalists was announced, he did not receive even a single word of criticism.

If he didn't know anything, he might have thought that his behavior had convinced all the mages at the Alliance, and that everyone was supporting him behind his back.

But he understands better than anyone that there are definitely more mages than all the mages in his Transmutation School record who are dissatisfied behind the scenes and are thinking of taking action against him.

"What on earth is going on? I remember when Iris wanted to establish a society where all School could discuss freely, not only the newspapers, but also the marquee on Floating City were laughing at her."

Now Vernon is holding in a lot of anger and can't find a place to vent it.

Vernon knocked on the table and could only say helplessly:

"Then let's put aside the matter of dealing with other School attacks. We will wait and see what happens. If there is any news, let me know."

Vernon drew a circle with his finger on the table and then said:

"Since they don't take action, it's time for us to take action. Scott, Elemental School, what about Master of Elements Award over there?"

Harbos originally belonged to Elemental School. This is an indisputable fact. In the history of the Alliance, there have been many cases where mages stepped out of their own School and created another School.

In this matter, it is undisputed that the achievements of mages who have left the School and established School will be included in the selection, because many School masters have protested before, so almost all School internally follow this rule.

Logically speaking, Harbos's achievements can definitely win Master of Elements Award, the highest honor for mages within Elemental School, but Harbos happens to be involved in the Alliance's politics.

Vernon has inquired about the nomination list of the current Master of Elements Award. Although the above results are somewhat interesting, they are far inferior compared to studying a Legendary spell and Elemental School's most iconic Elemental Storm.

No matter in terms of the groundbreakingness or weight of the results, they cannot compare with this article by Harbos.

And now Vernon is waiting for the judges of Elemental School to make a judgment. After seeing the opponent's actions, he will make a counterattack.

If these people choose to delay the release like the judges at Arcane Mage Award, he will attack them by taking advantage of the fact that they delay the release indefinitely.

If the other party awards the award to other mages, then he will seize the problem of the other party's achievement to attack.

This is his strategy. This is essentially a game of fighting for the right to speak. As long as your voice is sharp enough and loud enough, you can get excellent results.

This is especially important when they School cannot break up and fight a physical war.

Vernon has made up his mind to launch an attack as soon as he finds out the relevant information about Master of Elements Award.

"Uh, teacher, according to the news I received, those Master of Elements Award judges have finished their selection..."

Before Vernon showed an expression of being ready for work, Scott interrupted his passion and said:

"But according to the news I heard, it seems that this time Master of Elements Award is really awarded to Harbos, and it will be announced next week..."

Vernon looked shocked and didn't know what to say.

"Let's wait until next week. We can brag about the award to Harbos..."

Vernon had no choice but to make a decision like this. If the award was really awarded to Harbos, then his preparation would be in vain.

"What's going on with these mages? Don't they usually talk about protecting the knowledge between School? How come it's like this now..."

Vernon complained for a few words, and then said:

"In this case, let's put these things on the other side..." Vernon touched his chin and said:

"What are Harbos and Iris doing?"

As a person who just wanted to promote the development of something he was very interested in, he just sided with Northern Lands Society, while Harbos and Iris were standing at the forefront. Vernon was very curious about what they did in this situation.

After all, everything he has done now can be said to have made a great contribution. So what will these two people do?

Scott showed a strange expression again and said slowly:

"Harbos continues to experiment in City of Apprentices. He spends half of his time in the laboratory and the other half of his time teaching apprentices and perfecting his own Forge School..."

"No more?"

"No more."

Vernon frowned and shook his head. He was a little dissatisfied with Harbos's lack of action when it came to City of Apprentices. Why did the other party not make any action when he was selecting the award?

He also thought that the other party would contact some friends of Elemental School and put pressure on the whole Elemental School.

But there is nothing to criticize about Harbos's actions. After all, the other party just established School, so it is time to focus on the construction and development of School.

As for experiments, maybe you have inspiration, so you keep experimenting. This is understandable. After all, inspiration is still very important to High-Order Mage, and it is also important to conduct experiments in a timely manner.

"Where is Iris?"

Vernon asked curiously. He wanted to know what the person who insisted on founding Northern Lands Society would do at this time despite the opposition of most people.

"She seems to have some external actions..."

"Oh! What is it?"

"It seems that there is an award within Alchemy School, Silver Alchemy Award, and she is promoting Paper of that Refining White Star Sand as the winner of this award."

What Iris wants to do is to promote the entire Northern Lands Society system. In Iris's view, this achievement shows that it is necessary for various Schools to communicate with each other, so she is promoting this aspect.

But what Vernon wants to do is to make a fuss about the big awards that Harbos may win, in order to gain the right to speak. This is the fundamental difference in thinking between the two parties.

So after Vernon heard the actions of these two people, he put his hands on the table, was silent for a long time, and then said:

"What are they doing?!"
