The dusk rises, the burning clouds sink from the direction of Istania, the golden and blue sky turns to dark gray, and the night is like a sleeping giant, gradually covering this winter city.
Fang Plover leaned on the terrace, staring at the last trace of golden clouds, reflected behind the vault of the temple. His mind was thinking about what happened during the day. He was lost in thought for a while. Several birds flew by in the distance, and the misty golden clouds were reflected. The red faded into azure.
As night fell, the celebration officially entered a state of preparation. Crowds of people poured out of nowhere. The streets were filled with torches, pedestrians, and stars, like a dragon of light winding to the end of the field of vision.
Fang Plover stared at the lighted windows and saw the stars on the ground in a trance. Behind the windows was a bright gold color. People hung oak trees with leaves on the windows to symbolize good harvests.
"The locals are superstitious about Tao Jin, the god of pleasure, and oak is Tao Jin's lucky attribute." Sophie's voice came from behind, calm and rational: "People are superstitious about Ou Li bringing light, but the latter brings a lot of happiness. of wealth.”
Fang Yu turned around and saw the princess of Silver Vislan pushing the door open and walking out.
"I thought it was Ms. Roman," he replied.
"Ms. Roman is the god in charge of business operations, contracts and travel, and Tao Jin is a big dreamer. Many adventurers worship him." She looked at him with bright eyes, and flicked her hand to open the page window. Pushing it in front of him, "Look at this."
The two of them were leaning on the railing, with a faint light page in front of them, translucent and hanging in the night, like a ghost.
Fang Luo's eyes passed through the light page. The street below was crowded with people preparing to participate in the carnival. From time to time, the excited screams of children and the sharp scoldings of women could be heard from the crowd.
Only then did he look away and saw the window of the community on the light page.
"What's this?"
"New regulations of the Super Competitive League."
"It must be nothing good." Fang Yu thought for a moment.
"You guessed it right," Sophie replied: "The Super Competitive Alliance will review the legality of all guilds in the South. Of course, this is just a statement on the surface. In fact, guilds that do not join the Southern Alliance will definitely not pass the review. Community There has already been a huge commotion."
"What happens if I fail the review?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess of Silver Vislan looked nonchalant: "Guilds are different from adventure groups. They need permission from the alliance. If you don't get the permission, it is naturally illegal -"
Illegal here means literally. After mankind entered the Stargate era, a series of related laws and regulations were formulated. The "Stargate Declaration" is only a part of it, or a program, and there are many more detailed rules.
Although illegal guilds are not as planned as a cult organization, they are at least similar to illegal operations. If the nature is serious, it is not impossible to be punished on earth.
Although Fang Yu was confident, he still couldn't help being stunned after hearing this: "Can they do this?"
Sophie nodded: "Theoretically, it is feasible. The Super Competitive Alliance does have this qualification."
But Fang Yu heard the implication between her words and asked: "But actually?"
Sophie then explained: "The Stargate Declaration stipulates the code of conduct between countries in Aitaria. This series of codes is actually the predecessor of 'Super Competition'. At the beginning of its birth, its essence It is to reconcile the conflicts between various countries behind the Star Gate..."
"...It is the product of multi-party balance. The rules you see today were basically formed in that era. It was only after the commercialization era that it got a new name - the Super Competitive League."
She turned back, with a hint of gold in her dark eyes: "This is the origin of the Super Competitive Alliance. The alliance we see is a purely commercial organization, but behind it, in essence, it still has to balance the national and distribution of benefits among countries.”
Fang Yu was confused after hearing this, and just asked: "So?"
"Suppose a country's government believes that its alliance is against regional interests, it can launch an investigation into it, or even intervene to stop its operations." Sophie replied.
Fang Yu had a very bad opinion of the Super Competitive Alliance, wishing that the latter would be unlucky. However, remembering some of the words that Her Royal Highness Princess Silver Vislan had said before, she couldn't help but ask: "Won't this cause protests?"
"This is not military intervention," Sophie shook her head: "To simply investigate and stop its functions is just an internal matter of a country. After all, a regional alliance must also accept government constraints and management."
"But there must be some impact, right?" Fang Yu asked.
He is not stupid. .M parted ways and got closer to the military. It can be seen that the higher-ups have long been dissatisfied with the domestic competition area and have not taken any action. It is obvious that they have scruples.
"Of course it will have an impact." Sophie raised her head and looked at the distant stars on the blue sky: "The government can investigate or stop its functions, but it cannot take over. This is the agreed and written rule."
Only then did Fang Yu realize that the alliance has the right to participate, resources, players, and clubs. Once the functions cease, it will mean that the entire domestic competition area will come to a standstill. It would be okay if it only stops for a week or two. Once it exceeds, I'm afraid the points in the entire domestic division will drop by a notch.
And this is not just points, but the actual division of interests, whether from a commercial or non-commercial perspective, the losses cannot be calculated.
Such a decision is indeed difficult to make.
He couldn't help but shook his head: "I have never heard of such a thing before."
"Because there are not many precedents like this," Sophie continued: "Most of them happened in some small competition areas. There was one in the South American competition area, but the impact was not that big. If the government uses such means this time, it will be this A second precedent for the size of the division.”
Hearing what she said with certainty, Fang Yu couldn't help but ask: "Sophie, do you have any news?" He didn't doubt that the Princess of Silver Vislan had any news from the military, but Silver Vislan's own information source is also much better informed than him.
It wouldn't be surprising if I got some first-hand information.
But Sophie only shook her head and replied: "This is just my personal guess."
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was indeed the case - this time the Super Competitive Alliance's actions were too big. Its actions in the south of Kaolin-Ishulian almost shook the foundation of the Southern Guild.
As for whether it will affect the strength of the competition area?
Do you even need to ask?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that, that is almost certain. There was even an uproar in the community over this. Fang Yu took a look and saw that the community had started to control the situation - but how could banning people suppress such discussions? It would only make things ferment faster.
In the end, even if it is just to calm the impact, Stargate Port should probably respond.
But Fang Yu felt a little confused. What was the purpose of the Super Competitive Alliance doing this?
He looked at the community again and saw that many people had been discussing this issue before. The conclusion was that the Super Competitive Alliance lacked IQ, was too bloated, was bureaucratic, had institutional problems, and so on.
What’s even more funny is that some people think that foreign forces bought the domestic super competitive league. If that was really the case, the military would have intervened a hundred times. Do you really think that all the relevant security departments are just doing nothing?
But it wasn't until one of the posts caught his eye that he was slightly startled:
'On the independent kingdom after the Stargate——'
'As we all know, .M. '
'After understanding this, we can analyze the series of behaviors of the Super Competitive Alliance after the Covenant Mountain incident. I can conclude that the Super Competitive Alliance is just a skin of several large guilds, so the investigation of the alliance itself is not relevant at all...'
'The Super Competitive Alliance's series of actions after the Covenant Mountain incident, the M Alliance, or the capital group behind it just landed in the world after the Star Gate...'
'...The Super Sports League and Kaolin-Ishulian are getting closer together, and the major groups behind .M are further cooperating with the indigenous forces. Such things have happened for a long time, but it is the first of its kind in our country. '
'I would like to remind everyone that in Oshu and Rotao, there are many examples of large capital groups colluding with local forces, and even state forces intervening to subvert local power... In essence, this is indeed true. Benefiting the chosen one...'
'...M League has also seen huge profits from it. In addition, the domestic competition area has been weak every year in recent years and has failed in many seasons. It is not surprising to have such an idea...'
'However, firstly, this is contrary to our country's diplomatic norms... Secondly, the essence of this behavior is actually the same as neo-colonialism. If left unchecked, we will definitely bear a heavy political burden on it. burden……'
'...I call on everyone to see the essence of the problem. M's behavior is like a wild horse running wild. Once we lose control of the Super Competitive Alliance, we will build an independent kingdom behind the Star Gate...'
This post was very long, and Fang Yu actually only read a small part of it. When he scrolled down further, the community suddenly disconnected. And when he connected back again, there was only a blank space left on the light page, and the post had been deleted——
He was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he still remembered the author ID, Mr. Juka, but when he sent a private message, he only received a prompt that the ID did not exist.
ID was deleted?
Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised. Wasn't the management's reaction too great?
However, the content of the previous post was a bit obscure, and he actually only understood a small part of it.
One of the points he clearly agrees with is that, according to the original author, the Super Competitive Alliance's behavior in the southern region should be to cooperate with the Kaulin-Ithurian royal family.
After reading this article, Fang Yu suddenly realized something, because in this way, many things made sense:
He originally thought that the responsibility of the Super Competitive Alliance should be to safeguard the interests of the division - and the interests of the Southern Division were obviously closely related to the order of the Southern Territory. After all, no one would lift a stone just to drop their own foot.
But in hindsight, the alliance's series of actions in the southern border are obviously contrary to this.
And if according to the description of this post, the Grand Guilds such as .
Because the nobles in the south are monolithic, it is certainly not conducive to the interests of the royal family at this moment. This is one of Prince Coleman's strongholds and the area where his influence is most profound. If it cannot be as chaotic as possible, how can the prime minister defeat it one by one?
But when Fang Yu saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little creepy in his heart.
Because in this case, the intentions of the prime minister and the super competitive alliance are actually in line with the interests of the Dragon Worship Cult.
He didn't know if this was a coincidence or if there was another reason. Both could make sense. It may be that the Dragon Worshiping Sect took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation. They took advantage of the chaos in the southern border and put their next plan in this place.
But it is also possible that the Dragon Worship Cult was behind the whole thing. After all, the story of the Dragon Witch only happened a hundred years ago.
Of course, the greater possibility is both.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu couldn't help but subconsciously think of the scene that happened during the day, when the members of the Shadow Throne hijacked Fios——
He couldn't figure out for a while whether it was the Dragon Cult that was operating behind it, or whether it was just the Shadow Throne executing the Prime Minister's will. After all, judging from the previous news, Throne of Shadows has joined the New Southern Alliance, and behind the New Southern Alliance is the BBK Alliance. Of course, the latter is an old acquaintance of his.
Whether it's the Red Jackets of Jefflit or the descendants of Flor, it's all the same.
The .M Alliance is cooperating with the Prime Minister or the young new king on behalf of the Super Competitive Alliance, and as the Mordekaiser family is one of the three pillars of the Southern Territory, it is foreseeable what actions the two will take against it.
What's more, he also found out another news that the consul in Du Lun who had only taken office half a year ago was a confidant of the prime minister's party. The latter's attitude towards the Phoenix family these days could not be said to be friendly.
And the only clue may be what the Shadow Throne is looking for - the books burned by Miss Fios, from which he silently wrote part of the secret message, but it still needs to be translated. He left it to Sylvide and Miss Tata to deal with, but there was no result yet.
Fang Yu fell silent and stood side by side with Her Royal Highness the Princess of Silver Vislan.
The clear blue sky gradually turned into deep black.
The darkness was reflected deep in their eyes.
He suddenly sighed, and for a moment he became less interested in watching the fireworks show. They hadn't even reached the redwood forest and Vanrick, but in the south of the Great Valley, signs of chaos had already begun to emerge. If only it was just the struggle between the prime minister and the nobles of the south——
After all, Sylvide was only standing on the edge of the stage during this struggle - as long as they were more careful, even if there was another Delis added now, it would not be much trouble.
But the problem is that the two lines are intertwined.
And he even had some deeper worries, but he couldn't confirm them for a while. Fang Yu couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes slightly dull.
Compared with the fight between the nobles, the Dragon Worship Cult is a more realistic problem. Not to mention that they have been against each other many times and have been fighting each other to the death. Moreover, the hatred between Miss Atila and Miss Kusu will be avenged sooner or later——
Maybe it's time to leave Tullon, he thought.
That's after tonight.
The celebration has entered the prelude. Amidst people's exclamations, a beam of light is rising from the darkness.
It turned into a ball of sparks in mid-air, just like the light that flashed in the sky that night, illuminating the young man's dark eyes - Dragon Knight? Is it a wing ski? But Fang Yu shook his head and came back to his senses.
It's just fireworks.
