Maybe Dick was too tired, or maybe he felt much more at ease after listening to Dean Mary's words.
All in all, he slept extremely peacefully that night, and even overslept.
"Bang bang bang", a rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Dick looked out the window at the high sun, knowing that it was getting late.
He quickly put on the clothes Magic Academy prepared for him. The previous light armor had been damaged in this battle.
Nowadays, there is no armor that is stronger than his own body, so he has no requirements for the armor, as long as he can wear it.
Opening the door and seeing a little girl with freckles on her face, Dick was surprised:
"Xiao Ai, why are you here?"
"Dick, it's not good, it's not good!" Xiao Ai was so anxious that a few drops of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.
"Huh?" The lines on Dick's face were tense, "Is it possible that someone came to the Magic Academy to cause trouble?"
"No. Oh, anyway, come with me to the meeting hall on the fifth floor.
Panda Continent The kings of various countries, in accordance with Article 11 of Covenant of Kings, want to sanction Xiya."
"Are they coming?" Dick asked as he walked.
"It's a projection conference through the energy stone. But Queen Meve has arrived."
"What's her attitude?"
The two of them did not take the Energy Elevator and took the stairs directly.
"Of course Queen Meve is on Xiya's side."
Dick nodded slightly.
Arriving at the door of the chamber, Dick's ears twitched slightly and he heard the Queen's roar coming from inside:
"King Vinese, now you actually want to send a leader to invade Northern Kingdoms?
Is it possible that the life of 'Monster', who was captured two days ago, is worthless?
Duke Amara defeated the 600 people led by 'Monster' with only 200 people, you have to think carefully about it!"
Dick gently touched Xiao Ai's head. "Thank you very much."
"No thanks, Dick, I'll leave first."
Dick Pushed the door open, and the blue light of magic runes poured out from the crack in the door.
A star map projection floats on the surface of the ten-meter-long mahogany conference table, and the crystal chandelier casts mottled light and shadow on the ceiling.
Dean Mary is sitting at the end of the long table. Barbara on the left is looking forward with a decent smile. Next to her is Xiya. The gold necklace on her chest is shaking rapidly;
On the right is Queen Meve with an angry face. The crystal cup shook slightly as she slapped the table with both hands.
Queen Meve was staring at a man on the side of the long table.
The man wore a fancy pirate hat and a bright jewelry earring hanging from his right ear. His face was lined with wrinkles. He looked to be in his sixties, but his tight muscles and hale and hearty spirit showed that he was still strong.
The outline of the man's body was looming, and Dick knew that this was Panda Continent's magic projection technology.
Dick's eyes moved to the other side of the long table:
A dark-haired man with slicked-back hair, a thin face, and dressed in straight ceremonial clothes silently watched Queen Meve and King Vinese arguing.
There is also a shadowy figure of a man in his forties wearing a crown sitting quietly on the side of the long table. He looks extremely thin, with sunken eye sockets and a poor complexion.
Opposite him was a man in nomadic clothing, carrying a long bow with a shining golden light on his back.
Behind these people stood some shadowy figures. Judging by their attire, some were warlocks, some were swordsmen, and some were knights.
The slanting sunlight stretches the shadow of Dick to the center of the star map, and the projections of the monarchs of various countries become translucent in the strong light.
Dick walked straight to Xiya without fear, sat down next to her, took one of her small hands into his big hand, and said softly and tenderly:
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Xiya rested his head on Dick's shoulder, and he could feel Xiya's tense body slowly relaxing.
The old man known as King Vinese seemed to have found a savior when he saw Dick come in.
"Yo ho!"
He pointed at Dick, "Is this the new leader of Witcher Order? He is indeed a talented person!"
When King Vinese spoke, blue electric sparks continued to splash from the edge of the projection, and the sizzling sound of electricity was mixed with the crisp sound of the scimitar at his waist colliding with the silver chain.
He scratched his head again with his right hand that was missing Nameless fingers, and the pendant on his earlobe shone with a cunning light.
He deliberately banged his machete on the projection table, causing scarlet wine to bubble out of the crystal cup in front of Meve:
"'Monster's' life is certainly precious, but the birth of a witch cannot be taken lightly.
This old bone of mine is really in a dilemma!
Let's do this, let's withdraw our troops for now, and then Ravenstern hand over the 'Monster', how about it, little Meve?"
Seeing that Meve remained silent, King Vinese added:
"Don't forget, when you were a child, your father met me at the border and I hugged you."
"That depends on your sincerity. If I find out that there are troops entering Ravenstern,'Monster', my life will be at risk. Then don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I know it well!"
King Vinese scratched his head carelessly. There was a phantom rune button made of energy stones in front of his desk. He was about to press it, but suddenly stopped.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that although many leaders of the southern countries listen to me, occasionally there are two or three thorns, like 'Blackbeard' who killed the previous master, and 'Straw Hat' who is unique."
He looked at Dick, "I will give you a free message. 'Straw Hat' has sneaked into Ravenstern with his men 'Steel Fang' and 'Lame One'."
Then, he looked at Queen Meve with a smile,
"This doesn't count as a breach of contract on my part. They didn't bring any soldiers."
Even though Queen Meve is wearing heavy makeup, Dick can still see the tense muscle lines on her face.
But the queen still nodded heavily. "King Vinese, if you keep your promise, 'Monster' will be free in a week."
"Then thank you in advance, little Meve."
King Vinese pressed the energy stone button with his index finger as he spoke, and his image flashed a few times before disappearing from the meeting hall.
"He just left like that?" Across the way, a middle-aged man carrying a fine bow and wearing nomadic clothing looked surprised.
He turned his head and looked at the two knights behind him wearing heavy black armor and horned helmets:
"Jocelyn, Artest, you can't blame me for this. D'Shar Tribes is too far away from Ravenstern. If you Knights of the Eventide were to go out, it would take more than a month. By then, the witch might have been dealt with long ago."
Dick stared at the middle-aged man with a sharp look in his eyes.
As if he didn't feel anything, the middle-aged man turned his head and did not look at Dick.
"K'Juda [sweat]." One of the knights said, "You have tried your best. I believe Goddess of Twilight will definitely reward you in the future.
"Then let's do it. After all, the traitor Roland·Morning Star has not been caught yet, and Simba City has not been peaceful recently."
The knight glanced at Dick again. He crossed his hand over his sweaty face and gently pressed the energy stone button on the table. After the image flickered several times, all the people disappeared.
When the projection of Knights of the Eventide dissipated, the crystal chandelier suddenly dimmed three times.
"It's such a difficult task!" A low and majestic voice sounded.
Dick followed the voice and saw another man with slicked-back hair at the end of the long table said:
"If Snake Cult hadn't caused wanton chaos in the country, I would have completely pacified D'Shar Tribes."
When Dick heard it, he knew that this person was Emperor Marius, but his attention was not entirely focused on him.
Emperor Marius There are four people dressed as warlocks standing behind him.
Dick looked at Xiya with questioning eyes. Xiya shook his head slightly. He understood that these four people were not graduates of the Magic Academy, but warlocks from Itinerant School.
Emperor Marius looks directly at Meve:
"Are you determined to protect this Witch Who Destroys the World?
The legend of Madigan has now spread throughout the Panda Continent.
When Flames, which exudes the stench of sulfur, rages across the world, everything will be ruthlessly destroyed.
According to Article 11 of "Convention of Kings", if there is a disaster in the Panda Continent that can destroy everything, all countries must work together to eradicate it. No one can stop it, otherwise all countries can launch unconditional aggression against the harboring country!"
Queen Meve remained calm on the surface, but Dick noticed that her hands on her knees had unconsciously grasped the hem of her clothes tightly, and veins popped out on the back of her hands.
"Marius, it's enough for you to take care of your own territory.
After all, Xiya is affiliated with the Magic Academy. Magic Academy has made countless contributions to the entire Panda Continent over the years. Do you really want to be Magic Academy's enemy?"
"I had no such intention."
Emperor Marius nodded slightly to Dean Mary, who had never spoken.
"I have full respect for the Magic Academy, but I'm just discussing the matter."
The warlocks behind Emperor Marius all took a half-step forward, and four pale faces emerged from the shadows, their eyes flashing with magic elements that were either azure, blazing red, or rich purple.
"But... this is not a request, but a convention." Emperor Marius's voice made the air thicker,
"When the rain of sulfur fire from Nine Hells melts the dome of the royal city, will you use Queen Meve's spear to erect a monument for the blackened corpse of a child, or will you use Dean Mary's elemental shield to contain the melted powder of ladies?"
