I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

The Secretariat and Observatory Calyon, the department responsible for "Seal Designation", is the oldest classroom in the Clock Tower. Its existence is older than any other department, and even the vast majority of lords' families and nobles.

In the world of magic, time is mystery, history is capital, and the capital of the Secret Bureau is enough to hold its head high in the face of anyone and any force. Even if it is the lord of the Legal Affairs Department, Lorelea, or even the famous second magic user "Jewel Man" Jixiuya, as long as he cannot give a suitable reason, the Mystery Tribunal will still deny him face.

Because of this, the "Seal Designation" makes magicians talk about it so much, and the Secret Ceremony Bureau makes people keep it secret.

Because of this, the "Gem Man" did not directly agree to Shen Er's request - because he knew that even if the Secret Ceremony Bureau did not give him face, he could not do anything to the opponent unless he was willing to completely break up with him and directly use Destroy the Secret Bureau through violent means.

Shen Er knew the old man's concerns well. In order to help Cheng Zi cancel the "sealing designation", he had done countless homework and formulated a set of careful and feasible plans.

Leaving Justeza's arms, Shenji drank some water to moisten his throat and began to persuade the old man.

"I don't know if the old man has ever heard of such a saying. If there is 100% profit, capitalists will take risks; if there is 200% profit, capitalists will flout the law; if there is 300% profit, then capitalists will They will trample everything in the world!"

"I heard that this sentence should be adapted from Marx's "Das Kapital"." In addition to "Jewel Man" and "Magic Marshal", the old man also has a nickname - "Wanhua Mirror", which is used to describe his erudition and talents. There are more books to read than any library in the world.

"Although this statement is a bit biased, the truth behind it is universal, whether it is the secular or the mysterious world, whether it is the capital market or the clock tower, are you right?"

"That's right." The old man nodded, "The magicians in the Clock Tower, especially the magicians in the Legal Affairs Department, are all profit-oriented guys. So you want to use your profits to impress the Secret Bureau? Tell me about you The price."

"My price tag is the complete rune system, from the original eighteen to the derivative twenty-four, from the application of talisman to low, middle and high-level rune magic. With this, we can directly restore the declining rune system to peak."

Having said this, Shen Er gave the old man a determined look.

"Other people might think that I am talking nonsense. Master, you should know that there is nothing false in what I say."

The old man nodded again: "That's true. After all, your teacher is Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, the highest rune envoy. But you should know its value. This is a treasure that can change the magic system and even its structure. , are you really willing to do this?”

"Of course I do. Knowledge is a dead thing after all, and it is too light compared to living people." Shenji's voice was as calm as his expression, "If this sentence offends you, the veteran of the Clock Tower, I Be willing to apologize.”

The old man has been around for thousands of years and has a magnanimity consistent with his status: "It doesn't matter, the relationship between knowledge and people is inconclusive, and Aozaki Orange is indeed worthy of you. As far as I know, she seems to have touched the third magic On the edge. Her grandfather did not choose her as his heir because he did not want to waste her qualifications. Magic is not only a 'miracle', but also a limitation."

Yustisa was thoughtful, while Shenji was indifferent.

The two completely different attitudes were noticed by the old man, but he did not point it out. He continued: "In terms of price, this is indeed not low, but this may not impress the Secret Ceremony Bureau. From what I know about them, they There is another option, send the enforcer troops to rob it!"

Many times, big forces are not so disciplined in doing things because they have big fists. Rather than negotiating, they prefer to put on a reasonable coat and then rob directly - for details, please refer to Democratic and Free America.

"That's why I didn't choose to talk to you myself, but you." Shen Er said with a smile, "I don't believe those guys have the courage to steal things from your hands."

If the "Gem Man" is really angry, the entire army of enforcers is not enough for the old man to kill him alone. This is the strength supported by the first generation of dead disciples, the second magician, and the highest magician.

The old man was noncommittal and just said: "What if they still don't agree? People tend to be stubborn when they get older, and the same goes for forces. If they bring out tradition and history, I will be very embarrassed."

Shenji didn't care and uttered a curse word in an image: "History is just a female cousin, and the winner can paint it as he pleases. Traditions are not static. If the director of the Secret Ceremony Bureau really doesn't give face, , then tell them - 'Seal designation' continues, we will kill as many enforcers as you send. If Aozaki Orange can kill you once, we can kill you twice or three times, depending on how many enforcers you have. It's enough for us to kill. As for the complete rune system, don't even want the Clock Tower. Please reveal the news to Wandering Sea. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that others don't."

The three major departments of the Magic Association, Clock Tower, Wandering Sea, and Alastor Academy, seem to be inseparable from each other. Among them, Wandering Sea is obsessed with studying the magic of the Age of Gods, and has a bad relationship with the Clock Tower. Whether it is due to the pursuit of the magic of the Age of Gods or the consideration of the disgusting clock tower, "Wandering Sea" will not let go of the opportunity to obtain the rune system.

This is Shenji's real confidence. With this card, there is no reason why the Secret Order Bureau will not agree. If they do not agree, the lords of the Clock Tower who are not willing to deal with Wandering Sea will also unite to force the Secret Order Bureau to agree.

To put it bluntly, even if the Secret Ceremony Bureau really withstood the pressure, then Shenji could use this as a condition to ask the people in the sea to protect Cheng Zi. The Wandering Sea has a longer history than the Clock Tower, and has always been regarded as the prototype of the Magic Association. There is no general superior-subordinate relationship within the organization. From the perspective of research and hiding, it is more suitable for Orange than the Clock Tower.

"How about it, old man, are the chips in my hand plus the reward this time enough to ask you to come forward?"

"You are so well prepared, I have no reason not to agree." The old man's style is still so straightforward, "In order to ensure the smoothness of the negotiations, I will give you another suggestion - let the new lord named Barthemero family and With me coming out together, it’s also a great opportunity for her to expand her influence.”

"No problem, I'll tell Lorelaia right now and she will definitely agree."

If you refuse this win-win situation, you would be a fool.
