"Did you find that ruins?"
Everyone looked at each other for a while, and the man in black robe who had spoken before couldn't help but speak again.
"Otherwise? They haven't even picked up the things left over from the ancient magic empire. How could they still have the time to study a brand new system?"
In the crystal ball, the person known as Gray Mist spoke calmly, and his tone seemed to have a little contempt for the Continental Magic Council, which is known as the pinnacle of magic.
"That is the remains of a giant metal city. It is also the royal capital of the ancient goblin civilization that has been completely destroyed in legend, the constructed city - [Tarkesia]."
"The Magic Council obtained something similar to a central tower spirit in the central palace of that city, which stores countless structural drawings and information.
It is precisely because of this that they were able to suddenly promote a series of construction products to the entire continent almost overnight. "
"Using the structure as a guide, gradually change the pattern of the entire Yar continent, and then control the general trend of destiny. The one sitting on the astrological tower of the floating city is probably using this to try to step out into the legend of promotion. step!"
"..."
Suddenly hearing such secret news, everyone was suddenly shocked and dizzy, not knowing what to say.
Not surprised by everyone's reaction, the crystal ball flickered slightly before the figure spoke again.
"According to the feedback from the stars, the development of the Web of Destiny is about to usher in a second turning point. The first time, the biggest change was in the Federation of the Kingdom of Iter. But this time, the main changes will appear in the Gloria Empire - —”
"The time has come. Has the emergence of the construct caused two voices to appear in the upper echelons of the empire? One advocates acceptance, and the other advocates rejection."
Hearing this, the four people on the right side of the long table suddenly became agitated.
"You mean, next, the Gloria Empire will also be affected by the construct like the Federation?"
After a while of silence, the third person sitting on the right side of the long table spoke.
"But out of compromise with those conservatives, the reformists only managed to open up the civilian magical constructs. Combat-type constructs that allow professionals to transcend ranks and exert their power are still strictly controlled in the empire."
"Not to mention those ordinary chambers of commerce, even nobles below the Marquis level must strictly report to the royal family if they possess combat-type structures, and they must be regularly tested by prophecy casters to ensure that there are no false reports of quantities.
Hoarding privately is a serious crime and will be punished as treason. "
"But now, the mainstream of the empire's upper echelons is still conservative. The reformists have reached this limit.
In the next hundred years, the situation of construct control will probably not change, let alone have any major impact on the situation. "
After listening to this gentleman's speech, the figure in the crystal ball nodded.
"You are right, but this will be the trigger for the second change - the upper echelons of the Gloria Empire have been in a backwater for too long.
Not to mention the four eternal Grand Dukes, there were only two new Marquises in the thousands of years since the empire was founded. This was due to the death of a marquis and the vacant position.
Besides, you are sitting here now, maybe it is for this reason, right? "
Everyone on the right side of the long table looked at each other quickly and nodded slightly.
"Your Excellency Gray Fog, forgive me for being rude, but what benefits can we get if we cooperate with you?"
At the head of the right side of the long table, a man in black robe wearing a dark gold lion-face mask spoke slowly.
"Benefits? Ho ho ho ho..."
A hoarse chuckle came from the crystal ball.
"First of all, if you choose to help us, you are also helping yourselves. After more than two thousand years of accumulation, the game table of the Gloria Empire is now full of people.
If you still want to participate in this game called power, then you must find a way to get the first player to leave and make the seat at the table free. "
"In the past, you had to worry about the prophets of the royal family and high-ranking nobles, worry about the ninth-level extreme power, and worry about not having enough troops.
Now, we will provide you with the support of high-level prophets and ninth-level extreme experts, so that you can obtain equal countervailing power in this regard.
As for the strength of the troops, I think there should be no more powerful force than the Constructed Legion among the regular legions.
And when the nobles at the top fall into the quagmire of war, I don't need to say what you are going to do. "
"Besides, when the mission is completed, our people will leave. And the remaining territories, minerals, and population are all yours!
The empire is your empire after all, isn't it? "
At the end, the figure in the crystal ball deliberately emphasized the word 'yours'.
As he finished speaking, the room fell into brief silence again.
After a moment, the man wearing a dark gold lion-faced mask at the head of the right side of the long table spoke again.
"So, how do we cooperate?"
The crystal ball flickered slightly, and the blurred figure spoke plainly.
"Don't worry. When you return to the empire, there will be a dedicated person to communicate with you. He will tell you the next steps."
As he said that, the figure in the crystal ball turned his eyes and faced the three men in black robes sitting on the left side of the long table.
"Then, here are the three Your Excellencies from the Federation. I think you all know what has happened recently in the Kingdom of Laika, right?"
"Are you behind the Sixth Prince?"
The man in black robes at the front on the left suddenly spoke in surprise.
In the face of everyone's inquiries, the figure just smiled, neither admitting nor denying.
"It doesn't matter who is behind the Sixth Prince of Laika. What matters is the power he showed in constructing the legion during the war."
"You guys, do you want to..."
"Boom--!"
Before Crystal Ball finished speaking, the ground above his head suddenly erupted with a huge vibration.
The next moment, a huge irregular crack was torn open in the thick ground like a piece of paper, and a ray of white sunlight was projected from the gap, reflecting on the people who were caught off guard.
Because the integrity of the secret room was destroyed, the faint gray mist rolling on the wall immediately dissipated.
Snapped--
Realizing that something was wrong, the crystal ball on the main seat of the long table exploded. At the same time, gray magical flames ignited on all the fragments, quickly decomposing themselves into breathless powder.
But before these fragments were completely destroyed, a figure with a silver tower-shaped emblem on his shoulder condensed out and immobilized the remaining fragments together with the gray fire.
"!"
In an instant, the seven men in black robes in the room reacted, and simultaneously struck the strongest blow at the figure, and each used space magic to prepare to escape.
But all the spatial fluctuations only occurred for a moment, and then calmed down again.
Centered on Villa No. 26, a temporary ultra-high-intensity blockade has been set up within a ten-mile radius.
