Arcane Lord

"Yes, yes, that's what the master taught you! It won't happen next time!"

Skum, who was a little complacent just now, was scolded by Aiden in front of the other six controllers of the Seven Towers. At this moment, he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and burrow down.

He originally wanted to use this to establish his authority in the Seven Towers and return the center of the Seven Towers to Giles Tower, but he didn't expect that Master Aiden, who was supposed to be helping him, gave him a sap in return, beating him for a long time. Didn't even recover.

It wasn't until someone called his name that Skum woke up from a dream, hesitantly responded twice, and managed to get by, but he knew that if he didn't make amends, he would soon be overtaken by those who came after him. .

The person who controls the Seven Towers does not have a lifelong tenure. As long as the majority of people in the group do not approve of it, he will still have to step down.

Although Master Aiden himself is not a Grand Arcanist, or even an Arcanist, he has a decisive influence within the Gilles Department, especially within the Deep Power.

There are even very deep connections among the other six departments in the Seven Towers.

In other words, without Aiden's support, Skoum would not be able to secure his position as the controller.

At this time, Skoum actually felt a little regretful. Aiden was not the only expert on ether issues in the New Territories Ether Affairs Department. If he had known he would have found someone else.

But it's too late to say anything now, so I can only try to make up for it.

"Establishing a long-term and stable forward base has always been one of the important tasks of the Seven Towers in the etheric plane. Now that there is an almost natural forward base in front of us, I think we cannot give up!"

After that, Skum gave a lot of reasons eloquently, but only received a cold snort from Horn, "Were you listening just now? Master Aiden has already said that this discussion is based on not giving up the advance base. If it’s a premise, say something else quickly!”

When Skum heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he subconsciously glanced at Master Aiden. Seeing that there was no joy or sadness on the other person's face, Skum became even more nervous, and subconsciously said what was in his heart:

"Then let the Arcane Federation give it to us. Only the Seven Towers have the richest experience in developing the etheric plane. Wouldn't it be a waste to give them the base?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Scoum realized that he had said the wrong thing. Looking at the expressions of others, they all looked like idiots. Just think about it yourself. If you say it in public, it would be stupid.

But what he didn't expect was that Master Aiden supported him at this time, "Well said! The Seven Towers must have such a responsibility!"

Then, Aiden added: "Iolum has an extreme personality and often rushes in. I am not surprised at all that he could cause this accident. However, the forward base cannot be operated by him. It is safer to leave it in the hands of Seven Towers. "

Scoum never expected that Aiden would say these words, and it didn't look like he was joking. This made him feel a little uneasy, and at the same time he was dissatisfied with his own behavior of bringing Aiden over. It means extremely stupid.

Let’s not talk about how to allocate the forward base, but Skoum is very sure that Iolum in his eyes is not what Aiden said.

Perhaps Iolum has an unknown extreme and aggressive nature, but at least what he has shown so far is very normal. Otherwise, Congenio would not have handed over the Offensive Federation to him!

The other six people looked at each other in confusion when they heard Aiden's words. They didn't know what to say for a moment. They looked at each other, wanting others to speak first.

Some words may not be appropriate to say in front of Aiden, an elder, but these people are all great arcanists, so it is not difficult to communicate privately without Aiden.

Like Badigal, just ask Skoum directly: "Does Master Ayden and Master Iolum have anything to do with each other?"

"I don't know, but there shouldn't be! Master Aiden stays in the New Territory all year round and has rarely been to the main plane. How could he have a problem with Master Iolum!"

"It's hard to tell! I think this discussion should end here. I'll go back and find out what happened between them!"

"No! Don't hurt me!"

Scom's heart almost rose to his throat. If he had known that Aiden was like this, he would never have asked the other party to stand up for him. Now, even if he had objections, he couldn't end this meeting so simply and rudely.

Skum almost begged Badigal for help, and after agreeing to many conditions, he finally discussed how to properly coax Aiden away.

"Master Aiden, I agree with you very much. The etheric forward base should indeed be in the hands of the Seven Towers, but now the overlapping area of ​​the planes is located in the Arcane Union. This matter needs to be considered in the long term!"

"Yes, Iolum is not the only one in the Austrian Law Federation. If this matter is not handled well, it may cause Master Congenio to intervene."

When Congenio was mentioned, Aiden's expression changed a few times, but after all, he never said anything about Congenio like he did about Iolum.

Obviously he also knew that Congenio was no better than Iolum, and he was not qualified to evaluate him at all.

At this time, Badigal persuaded again:

"This matter cannot be discussed later. We definitely support the return of the forward base to the Seven Towers. Master, please relax on this point!"

"Okay! Anyway, it's you who make the decision. I'm old, so I can only make suggestions."

After Aiden finished speaking, he stood up from his seat tremblingly. The apprentice on the side quickly supported him and whispered: "Teacher, be careful!"

Then Skum personally sent Aiden away, but the remaining Badigal and others did not disperse, but waited quietly.

After a while, Skum returned to the conference room with a tired look on his face.

"Sent away?"

"Well, send it off."

"You made a mistake in this matter."

"I know."

Skum sat down with a slumped face and leaned directly on the back of the chair. Badigal and the others had already seen the previous scene, and he was too lazy to pretend now.

But Badigal didn't let him go, "I'm not saying you shouldn't find Master Aiden, but you shouldn't find anyone. The controller of the Seven Towers should consider the overall interests of the Seven Towers, rather than currying favor with those people." An old guy who got by on his age!”

"Badigal, you-"

Although he was taught a lesson in an almost scolding tone, Skoum felt inexplicably warm in his heart, as if the grievances he had received from all parties to maintain the situation since he took office were suddenly released.

He stared at Badigal blankly, speechless for a while.

"There is no need to say anything unnecessary. As the same controller of the Seven Towers, it is my duty to remind you. As for whether it is embarrassing or not, we are all our own people. We are afraid of doing this. Like Horn, I don’t know how many times I have scolded him. , do you think he is embarrassed?"

"Hey, hey, hey!" When Horn heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied, "You say that as if I am always shameless!"

"Isn't it true? If you want to lose face, you would still seduce my apprentice?"

"I don't call it hooking up, I just want to give their homeless souls a home!"

"..."

Seeing that the topic was going further and further, Randall was the first to stand up and said, "I have to go back first. Those who advance to the base should set the tone internally before we discuss it together!"

After saying that, he left without waiting for anyone else's response.

"Randall is gone, so let's leave today!"

"It's gone!"
