The president selection method of the Magicians Association is generally based on the recommendation of everyone, and the standard is the strongest person. However, the detailed rules will still vary from district to district.
Of course, the so-called strongest person does not set up a stage and let the masters play a monkey trick to determine the outcome in front of everyone. Instead, they will be distinguished based on their past reputation and performance. In other words, most of the time, the evaluation of the strength of the president candidates is between equals.
After the previous president passed away, the selection of the next president became the top priority of the Xijia District Chapter. Generally speaking, a strong candidate to succeed the president will be selected from among the four tower masters. However, the way for the president of Xijia District to be decided is through universal suffrage among the magicians registered in the branch. Therefore, in history, young and strong factions have been selected to succeed the president, but not always those with high moral character and high strength have succeeded.
The current situation in Xijia District is that the age of the four pagoda masters is almost the same as that of the deceased president, both of whom are over eighty years old. For humans who are lost in the land, it is an age where it is no surprise to kick their legs whenever they want. Unless one crosses the boundary of life and becomes a transcendent person, such characters rarely appear among Faye. And such a person will not be satisfied with the position of president of a branch.
Therefore, the day after the president passed away, the master of the Four Towers publicly stated his unwillingness to take over the position of president. Therefore, the candidates for the president will be replaced by candidates from the second echelon, which is the highest level of the fourteen-person meeting in Xijia District. After deducting the president and the four tower masters, there are nine remaining.
In terms of strength, the current Inspector Greenwyn is the most powerful candidate. It's a pity that he is not keen on establishing his own power. In the past, he relied on Chengguo Eaton's wings and loyally became a sharp knife in the district branch. If he can successfully take over the power left by the previous president, then taking over as president will be a sure thing. But this is not the case.
During the last period of time for the former president, the person in charge of the entire force on his behalf was his noble-born disciple Shurion.
He was born into a noble family and had skills that were different from ordinary people. During the period when he took over, he actually won over many leaders of the former president's influence, or he thought he had won over these people. In fact, many people have contacted other forces and even surrendered their oath of allegiance, but they have not made it public.
It is this illusion, and some careerists who are as young as Shurion, who believe that as long as they firmly control the power left by the former president, they can take over the highest throne of the Xijia District Chapter. Little did they know that many people were just watching the show indifferently, watching a noble young man think that using the rules of the game of secular nobles could also work among the magicians.
However, those who have been suppressed by the former president for a long time are all cunning and patient. At this time, they chose to sit on the sidelines and not jump up and down on the stage. Instead, they contacted and attracted all the people they could win over under the stage.
But such an act would bring suffering to those who were targeted by that vengeful young man. The number one person on the list was Gabrielle Shtripwood, the chief executive of Eton College.
After the president passed away, all kinds of troubles kept coming like a dagger. Najib, the Chamber of Commerce steward who had been dealing with him for a long time, was transferred to an unknown corner, and someone he didn't know contacted Lin, and he was indifferent to him.
What does it mean to have money but don't want to earn it? Lin took a closer look this time. If your tone is focused and there are some hints in your words, the other party will simply say that you can buy it if you want, and the price will be doubled or tripled.
After using his private email address, he found out that the unlucky Najib had been sent to other places, wandering around various magic towers and the territories of minor nobles, in the name of developing new customers, but in fact it was more like being persecuted.
If not for his previous performance in the Chamber of Commerce, Najib would be considered a popular figure. Just the commission from a client like Lin made other managers jealous and jealous. Basically, as long as you hold on to this golden thigh, you won't have to worry about food and clothing in this life. Unexpectedly, things have changed, times have changed, and when the old president fell, the entire environment was completely different.
He had to obey orders from above. Otherwise, it would not be a matter of waving his hands for those superior masters to kill themselves. So I can only hand over the original business obediently, like a new person, and visit new customers again.
The last email that ended the conversation was a warning from Najib: Please be careful, Your Excellency, they have further plans.
Looking at the content of the email, Lin let out a long sigh. How could he not know that this could not be the end, but the situation was stronger than the people, and he could only hope that there would be someone to compete with him in the next president competition. He had no choice but to take refuge there.
Sitting in a cart pulled by mules, Lin thought about the upcoming events. The two girls sat in the driver's seat, whipping the mule forward slowly.
This car is not a horse-drawn carriage used by nobles, it is just an ordinary open wagon. It was a car that Lin bought before to pull materials from his home in the community to the cafe in the college, but there were more opportunities to use it for transportation. Letting the two apprentices drive, Lin just had extra time to think.
As I gradually approached my home in the community, I saw a red cloud on the horizon, which was quite strange. The two innocent girls exclaimed: "Wow, so beautiful. Teacher, look over there."
Lin looked up and saw that coquettish color, which he seemed to have seen before. And it seems that there is something not good about it. He jumped out of the car, performed a lightening technique on himself, and said to the two apprentices: "Just drive the car, I'll go over and take a look first."
Without waiting for the two girls to respond, Lin jumped into the night. The closer I got to the red glow, the more I thought it was fire, and there was a faint sound of people in the distance.
Lin also realized at this time where the bad feeling in his heart came from. The direction of the fire was not exactly the home in my community.
I ran to the place where the fire started and saw that the place where I lived was indeed on fire. However, the great misfortune was that it was not the mansion where he lived that burned down, but the independent warehouse in the courtyard.
A group of onlookers stood outside the wall, pointing and chattering. Wulian City does not have a complete public fire protection system, but this is a city where magicians gather. It is very common for magic experiments to explode every now and then.
This can usually be solved by Master himself with a water collecting technique. So in Wulian City, it is very common to see other people's homes on fire. As long as the fire doesn't burn your place, no one will take the initiative to help.
Such an attitude does not mean that Midi does not have the custom of neighbors helping each other and loving each other. If the fire was caused by a magic experiment, unless the caster died inside, he himself is the one who knows best how to deal with the fire.
Or maybe the fire is just a trivial matter, but the place where the fire occurred has a secret that no one wants to know. Breaking in rashly and claiming to help put out the fire is the same as taking advantage of the fire.
The special nature of Wulian City made this fire wait until the owner of the house. Seeing this situation, Lin was no longer nervous. The warehouse is quite far from the main house, so it would be difficult to spread the fire there. What he was thinking more about was the cause of the fire. And where did the two dogs that were supposed to be guarding the courtyard go?
It's a bit unrealistic to expect two beasts to put out a fire. But if something like this happens, you shouldn't run away without being seen.
Before arriving at the warehouse, Lin kept thinking, besides green coffee beans, were there any other valuable things stored there? What other items can cause burning? Was it caused by two dogs playing with fire? They are not fire-attributed monsters, and have no talent for setting fire.
But... I was afraid that the two girls would do something to the two dogs again, just like the magic tattoos that I gave them like walking on flat ground. This one has a criminal record. Grayhoof and Whitenose both have two or three magic tattoos on their bodies.
Before arriving at the warehouse, Lin prepared an apprentice-level magic - water collection. But before the gathered water elements could condense into an entity in the real world, Lin stopped casting the spell and looked coldly at the two giant figures lying in the flames of the warehouse...
Did these two beasts sleep to death? Still really dead...
Watching the flames burn the wooden building and the contents inside, it made a loud noise. The aroma of meat came, but it did not arouse anyone's appetite. Instead, it made one's heart sink.
Accident?
No! It was obvious that this was done deliberately.
warn? Or is it for your own green coffee bean inventory? Due to the huge interest in coffee, Lin's inventory has been visited more than once by people hoping to buy it. It's just that I never agreed, even if it was just to give some of it to others.
"Ah! Why are we in there? We need to be rescued quickly."
Driving a mule cart, we finally returned to our home in the community. The warehouse fire also dumbfounded the two girls. After they parked the car and came to their teacher's side, they kept looking around. As soon as they saw the two dogs lying in the fire, they wanted to rush in.
Fortunately, Lin was quick and caught the two girls, preventing them from rushing into the fire without adding any auxiliary magic.
Kaya was actually quiet, and she showed no unusual behavior after being caught. But judging from her twitching shoulders, her emotions were not as flat as they appeared.
Halumi struggled desperately, trying to rush into the fire and drag the two dogs out. But this made Lin hold her hand tighter. In the end, he just pulled her back and hugged both girls into her arms. Said: "There is no way to save it, so give up. It would be better for us if we just let the fire burn more thoroughly."
Halumi's legs gave way, and if it hadn't been for the support of her teacher, she would have fallen to the ground. She burst into tears sadly, while Kaya buried her face in Lin's clothes and sobbed softly.
"Teacher, the Gray Hooves are gone." The blond girl cried.
Lin didn't know how to comfort the girls. Speaking of the experience of their own small animals dying, this was probably their first experience. So Lin could only pat the two girls and try to comfort them.
