A dragon who doesn't want to be a killer is not a good businessman

"What did you say?!"

Caroline's reaction was the most intense. She first glared at Winter who said this frankly, then lowered her eyebrows deeply and spoke with a stern face.

"You should know clearly - we didn't care about Crowley's messy illnesses just because you can control the field. What does this mean? Do you think this old guy Victoria can replace you?"

Winter didn't go that far, and the two-way eye contact that no longer concealed the facts revealed the long-hidden relationship facts.

Caroline also pointed it out directly.

——According to the description, after Julia Winter steps down, Quint Victoria will take over the position of the Archmage of Crowley Kingdom.

Although there were two Victorias on the field, everyone present knew who the "old guy" Caroline was referring to.

The other relatively young Victoria, Della Victoria, turned to look at Quint, her eyes piercing without leaving any room for error.

Everyone needs an explanation, especially Della. This is not an ordinary problem for her, because she who organized the gathering of magisters should have a neutral stance from the beginning.

This is common sense.

The magisters from the four countries are gathered here. It is impossible to blindly trust candidates with different positions. They can only find a suitable middleman.

This is why Della, who focuses on the high seas and dreamland business, will also provide the location and become the basic organizer.

The same was true for Quint before.

Although he was born in the Kingdom of Crowley, he has always maintained his basic identity as a free mage.

Now, as a relative who is negotiating with Della, Quint conceals his inclination towards the Crowley Kingdom, which makes Della very difficult to deal with.

In the previous conversation between the four people, Caroline and Sonny, the magisters of the Kingdom of Cole, who created various conflicts, spoke to each other. In addition to eliciting other clues, the hints mixed in the words were just to test and make Dai...

Recognize this.

Revealing his knowledge of the fact that the foreign great magician of the Kingdom of Denton took office, and mentioning the arrival of the great magician of the Crowley Kingdom, were all Quint's mistakes and the result of deliberate inducement.

——As a free magister, it is really difficult for him to have such detailed information sources. If it is just gossip among the people, Quint will not use it in this situation due to his caution.

After the initial shock, Della quickly adjusted her mentality. After all, she was no longer a little girl who was unprepared for various variables.

Now, it's the turn of those who belong to the Kingdom of Crowley to explain the details, including the newly revealed future great wizard.

Quint smiled bitterly, but still did not leave the seat next to Della, but spoke directly.

"What Great Magician Winter said is correct. I did discuss this matter with her a few days ago. As for whether she can live up to her trust and take on the important task in the end, it has little to do with Magister Sandra."

Caroline turned her head and snorted, not commenting on this implicit but unflattering rebuttal.

Sonny propped up half of his face with his elbows, leaned his back against the white pillars of the central pavilion, and looked over lazily.

"...In the final analysis, it's not that we don't believe in you, we just don't believe in those pedantic nobles and the guys who are hiding behind them to protect you and want to shoot cold arrows at everyone."

At this point, Sonny clicked his tongue, as if he was quite disgusted with this.

"Great Magician Winter... you were born into a noble family, so you naturally want to maintain false prosperity. But have you ever thought about why the people at the bottom insist on safeguarding the interests of the kingdom?"

Compared with the vague suspicion, the thing that annoyed Sonny even more had nothing to do with Lucifer.

This is a long-standing contradiction.

Dozens or even hundreds of years ago, Sonny had heard several old news about Crowley Kingdom across the strait. Although he was confused, he would not actively interfere in this matter.

Five years ago, Sonny heard about another incident in the Kingdom of Crowley, and suddenly made contact with the rumors he had heard before.

All the details matched up with the past that was unknown to be true or false, and everything suddenly became clear.

The incident five years ago was related to pirates. Others regarded it as a national embarrassment involving rebellion and rebellion. However, Sonny, who had contacted him, did not think so. This incident successfully attracted his attention.

These inconveniences were clearly stated, but they were enough to give Sonny a strange sense of disobedience.

Winter had relied on his popularity to get everyone to put aside Crowley's long-term problems, but now he was clinging to an obvious external signal sent by the mastermind himself.

What does this mean?

If it's really a problem that her magic alone can't solve, she can seek help.

This is a completely weird thing, and it's why Sonny insists on going against Winter.

After much deliberation, I can only infer from the appearance that for such a marginalized character, it is probably because Winter, who was born into a noble family, is nostalgic for his old friendship and always has expectations for the current Crowley noble.

Although the "guy with cold arrows" mentioned by Sonny later was not actually named, it was traceable and was a tacit hidden danger among the magisters.

The Magister Gathering is a grand event that gathers all mages of the same level, but not everyone will fully participate every time.

Some are isolated from the world and do not feel the need to attend the twelve-year meeting; others are busy with business and have no time to show up.

Besides this, there are also people with evil intentions who try their best to hide their existence.

These people often have other agendas.

"You don't have to believe my judgment, but I have to tell you, Magister Rodriguez, I may know more about civilians than you do."

Winter took his time and answered.

"It is my request to conceal this matter. If Quint refuses Victoria Magister's invitation, it will create more suspicion. If you have to count, this should be my responsibility."

Della remained silent, but her expression relaxed a little, and her eyes turned to Winter.

"It's not the point to find out who concealed the truth. It's just empty talk. Why don't you make it clear first - if it's not for the profit of Crowley Kingdom, why are you here?"

She was also from the Kingdom of Crowley, so there was no doubt that she respected Winter a lot, but she would not give up her position of condemnation because of this.

At the same time, in order to show her neutral attitude as an organizer and give others an effective expression, Della stood up, left next to Quint, and found an empty seat to sit down.

At this moment, Weiswold looked left and right, and realized that he had been excluded from the center of the topic after initiating an argument, and he couldn't help but sigh sadly.

Then he stood up without any scruples and sat directly next to Quint, making the gentleman in a formal dress, who was deeply moved by his own daughter's alienation from him, look stunned.

In the world of darkness where there is no daylight for the time being, this great vampire magician seems to have no scruples, as if his innate ability is the vigorous self-confidence that does not care about the eyes of others.

To put it bluntly, he is the type who is born to stand in the center of the stage and never wants to come down.

"Weiswold, can you read the air?" Caroline couldn't help but ask, "They are negotiating, is it time for you to find a place?"

Weiswold was a little innocent, but he was also very straightforward, "But I love watching it."

The noble and powerful vampire magician just wants to occupy the best observation position and is dissatisfied with being completely ignored. What's wrong with that?

On the other side of Weiswold's original seat, there was an old man with a smooth head without any hair, but a thick and full white beard.

He spoke meekly.

"Your Majesty the Great Magician, I hope you will maintain a professional and rigorous attitude. Although Winter is a Crowley, he always knows priorities. We might as well listen to her first."

Erling Hughes.

This is the free mage of the Kingdom of Denton. He is also the mage who is second only to Winter in age and has the highest qualifications and seniority among them.

Not to mention the current lack of personnel, even if all the people who are supposed to be present at the Magister's official gathering come, no one with more seniority than them can be found.

At most one.

Weiswold smacked his lips when he heard the words, and he paid more attention to the sorcerer's speech.

Because in addition, this Magister Hughes is also recognized as the richest magister.

——Because he is also a top-level craftsman, a firesmith responsible for forging various staffs and magic weapons and giving them power.

The money of high-ranking mages, the assets of the royal palace and nobles, and the funds for the kingdom's military are the most commendable sources of money on the continent.

All factors make the weapons products manufactured by Hughes, who has superb manufacturing technology, superior magical ability and deep understanding of weapons, extremely popular, triggering rushes every time they come out.

After all, even if you don't know what kind of mage he is, you can still feel his extraordinary professionalism just by looking at that smooth and shiny bald head.

In terms of the simple relationship between age and appearance, he is the only one among all the magisters who is the most honest person on the surface, but this is not the case in reality.

He is a dwarf with a height of over seventy inches - the reason why the height is not a real number is because the scale of transformation often changes due to the extent of the corresponding magic use.

Hughes, who pays attention to the fineness of craftsmanship, is relatively rough in this kind of magic, mainly because the reason for his transformation is not the appearance itself.

According to Hughes himself, the height of the dwarves makes him usually a head shorter than ordinary people, which is not conducive to his momentum when negotiating prices with buyers as an ordinary fire craftsman when he was young, and the price would be quite high.

So he chose to keep himself tall as a human for a long time, even taller than ordinary people, so that his status as a foreign race would not hinder him from making money.

This habit has continued to this day - even though no one now dares to blindly underestimate the products of this dwarf craftsman, he still demands a weapon made by himself.

After Hughes finished cleaning up his country's naughty great magicians, he set his sights on Winter.

"Julia, it's the same as before: I trust you not to do anything for the national interest that endangers everyone, but you also have to give me an explanation."

"Thank you," Winter nodded slightly and solemnly expressed his gratitude to his old friend, "If you want to ask me the fundamental reason why I insist on pestering Lestus... most of you should have the most empathetic answer.
