Chapter 261 No air, no magic!
In the meeting hall,
The high-ranking officials were feeling uneasy and looked at Lin Luo with fear and trepidation.
They originally thought that Lin Luo would at most just use the name of the person behind him to scare people, but who could have expected that the other party had this trick?
It's really amazing that the negotiations have reached this point!
Once the twelfth-level peak scroll appears, who can guarantee to walk out of this conference hall safely?
Everyone's mouth was dry and it felt difficult to say a word.
Those officials who had previously ridiculed Lin Luo were now blushing with shame and dared not speak out.
Fear enveloped everyone's heart, and Hugh Grandet's regret was about to turn into tangible bitterness.
Losing your life to protect your interests is not worth it no matter how you look at it!
Now he could only bet that "Lin Miao" did not have the courage to release the twelfth-order scroll, and he had no intention of dying with everyone else.
Perhaps the prayers of the officials worked. Lin Luo's fingers moved flexibly, and the scroll instantly flew into the space ring and disappeared.
"The bet was right!"
"I knew he didn't have the courage to release the scroll. Haha, it was just a feint, a show of force with his words."
Everyone secretly rejoiced.
Now that they knew that "Lin Miao" didn't have the courage to release the scroll, the huge rock hanging in their hearts finally fell down.
Everyone's face was filled with smiles of having survived a disaster, and there seemed to be disdain and contempt in their eyes when they looked at Lin Luo.
But at the same time, they did not dare to provoke Lin Luo again, but instead ordered their children to prepare a gift.
But just when everyone had a chance to catch their breath and withdraw the hastily drawn up will.
Han Jinyou, however, still had an arrogant face and acted high and mighty as always.
"Lin Miao, take out a twelfth-order scroll and use it. I want to see what tricks you can come up with."
It seemed as if he was sure that Lin Luo would not dare to act rashly.
Han Jinyou wanted to rely on his high position and the fact that the guards around him were all mages of level ten or above. He thought that apart from the high-level scrolls, Lin Luo's other means would be useless to him.
But the other party never expected that Lin Luo's true strength was not something he could see through.
"Why, Lord Han still wants to talk to my Huanyu Pavilion?"
Lin Luo did not get angry, nor did he mention whether to use the twelfth-level scroll.
Instead, he asked softly, with a hint of smile in his words.
This confusing attitude even gave Han Jinyou an illusion.
"Could it be... Lin Miao has given in?"
"Then what's the point of asking this? Since he's already surrendered, shouldn't he just lick their boots?"
In his mind, there must be something fishy about Lin Luo maintaining this attitude.
Sure enough, before Han Jinyou could finish thinking, Lin Luo took out the scroll again and played with it in his hands.
This scene scared everyone.
"Mr. Lin Miao... Oh no, Brother Miao, Uncle Miao! What on earth is your purpose for doing this?"
"We have already compromised and unanimously agreed to your request. Please don't be so impulsive."
"That's right, Mr. Miao, you can put the scroll down and we can discuss it later, how about that?"
If losing money could help them avoid disaster, everyone would be eager to move Han Jinyou's treasury and give it to Lin Luo.
Who made this bastard so talkative? This caused Lin Miao to pull out his terrifying trump card.
Looking at the scroll spinning in his hand, everyone felt uncomfortable!
(╥ω╥`)
Look around,
Lin Luo slowly stood up and said with a heartfelt smile:
"It can be seen that, apart from Lord Lai Han, everyone else still has some conscience..."
Hearing this, everyone who dared not talk back could only smile and nod, saying: "Mr. Lin Miao, you don't know that the officials of our Xingyue Continent have always been known for their integrity and honesty, and are well-known throughout the world.
We know you've chosen a profit-sharing contract, and we've already started preparing the tools. I believe you'll have them in your hands soon."
As soon as Lin Luo finished speaking, an Aklan official immediately responded enthusiastically.
But even though they acted so flattering, he could see resentment in most of them's eyes.
Is this unfair?
Lin Luo was furious, and a faint light flickered at his fingertips.
In the eyes of everyone, this was a sign of activating the scroll.
For a moment, the meeting hall was in chaos.
Some people blasted out powerful spells, while others released their mental power and rushed straight towards Lin Luo's mental power space. No matter what, everyone's intention was to use this to force Lin Luo to stop his actions.
But they were still a step too late.
A water-blue glow bloomed from Lin Luo's body, and soon his body was wrapped in a circular shield.
The shield is covered with hexagonal grids, and magical patterns are faintly visible on the grid lines.
Everyone's magical attacks and mental power were blocked by this seemingly insignificant shield, and no one could succeed.
"Sorry, your apology is late..."
Lin Luo used the shield to protect himself several times, and after confirming that there was no threat, he said to the system: "Give me a set of light and shadow special effects, the kind that adds the aura of the twelfth level peak."
Disgusted by everyone's attitude, he didn't want to make these guys feel good.
He could have saved these people from being frightened, but he changed his mind midway.
Now that the scroll has been taken out, instead of letting things go, it would be better to teach these guys a lesson that will last a long time.
As for whether the relationship between "Universe Pavilion" and the Aklan Empire would become strained, this was not within Lin Luo's consideration.
So what if things get out of hand?
The future of the scroll system is in Lin Luo's control, and if he wants to get it, he can only obtain it from the illusory "Universe Pavilion".
In other words, he has a monopoly on the industry.
Whoever wants to obtain the scroll system will be strangled by Lin Luo.
Either you have to be exploited by the capitalist Lin Luo, or you don't have any thoughts about the scroll system.
Because with just a thought from Lin Luo, the scroll system obtained by the buyer will disappear in an instant, and not a single magic pattern will be left.
The special nature of the medium makes every item Lin Luo gives out seem to have a backdoor and has a special function.
Seeing that the attack was fruitless, everyone wanted to quickly escape from the conference room, but they never expected that the entire space was locked by terrifying pressure.
Can't escape!
There seemed to be magic patterns appearing in the sky, like golden chains, covering an area of thousands of miles.
In an instant, countless mages who wanted to take off fell to the ground! The mages and warships flying in the sky were forced to land.
No air control! No magic!
This is the method of a twelfth-level peak magician!
Upon seeing this, all those in the royal capital who knew the situation were horrified and only hoped to escape death.
The high-ranking mages who saw this were filled with sorrow.
According to ancient texts, every move of a twelfth-level mage is accompanied by rules.
Wherever the chain of rules reaches, everything is under its domain.
If necessary, a peak-level twelfth-level strongman can even let the rule chain cover the entire Aklan Empire, or even a larger area!
Correspondingly, the lethality within the area will also be reduced.
If you want to run away on the ground now, you will be deceiving yourself.
During the dark turmoil, when the mages of the Human Federation came to rescue, their chains of rules covered the entire human territory just like they do now, preventing the alien races from making any progress.
The magnitude of its momentum and profound deterrent power have caused panic in all races on the Star-Moon Continent, and they have not dared to join forces to attack again until now.
And today, the human territory is once again shrouded in golden chains.
All living beings are crawling on the ground!
Even the cabinet members sitting in the government building were trembling with fear. When they looked at each other, they could see the fear in each other's eyes.
As early as the moment Lin Luo took out the Twelve Peak Scrolls, they notified King Arthur.
Such a major matter is no longer something they can decide.
It concerns the fate of the Aklan Empire!
"Please ask the ancestor to come out of seclusion!"
"It's too late. The ancestor is in seclusion on a floating continent 0.3 light years away, even if he has received the news.
But it will take at least half an hour to teleport over!
By then, we no longer exist!"
Listening to a certain congressman's rational analysis, everyone's hearts suddenly turned cold and their eyes instantly turned red.
"Stop him! He can't be released!"
"We must stop him, otherwise our lives will end here!"
"This scroll actually has a built-in sealing effect! But fortunately, the golden chain did not cover the entire empire. Only the space within a radius of ten thousand miles was controlled!"
The cabinet, which usually speaks in a taciturn manner but has undercurrents, has changed.
Not only did it become noisy, but there was also chaos and commotion for a while.
Seeing that they were about to die, everyone just spoke openly.
"Carol, I've been disliking you for a long time! Why the hell are you a level higher than me?"
"Why? Because I'm stronger than all of you!"
"Damn, you'll die if you don't brag. Come and fight me if you dare!"
Seeing the chaos in the cabinet, the cabinet chairman looked grim and said in a deep voice: "At this critical moment of life and death, you still have the mind to fight?
Shut up, everyone!
If you have a little emotion, can't you think about your wife and daughter at home?"
"Woo, woo, I have the same thought. I miss your wife and daughter at home too... woo..."
Cabinet Speaker: “???”
In an instant, the cabinet fell into chaos again.
Of course, everyone in the conference room and the members of parliament were all aware of the situation, and the only people who were in chaos were these high-ranking officials who knew everything.
The ignorant people and low-level officials do not have so many concerns.
They looked up at the sky with awe, and could not help but pray in their hearts that God would bless them with a peaceful and long life, or that their spiritual path would be smooth and their careers would be bright.
The foolish actions of the cabinet and senior officials did not last long, simply because the "phenomenon" of heaven and earth caused by this twelfth-level method came and went quickly.
But in a moment,
As the scroll in Lin Luo's hand turned into a microwave and spread in all directions, the strange phenomenon in the sky also dissipated.
Snap——
A sound like a broken mirror echoed in everyone's mind, and the expressions on the faces of the old men and women who were studying the scroll system suddenly changed.
A hint of confusion appeared in the researchers' eyes.
What about knowledge?
What about the memories that we have clearly recorded in our heads and memorized countless times?
Such a big one!
How can it just disappear like that?
Not only that, the magic patterns that had been carved in front of them and the knowledge recorded in the magic books also faded rapidly.
The researchers were quick-witted and quick-handed. They quickly grabbed the magic book and wanted to memorize it immediately.
But it's of no use!
It's like a hazy dream, a memory that never existed, how can it be forgotten?
The knowledge they remembered in their minds at this moment also faded away, without any trace of its existence.
The researchers looked at each other, the confusion in their eyes becoming more and more intense.
"What were we studying?"
"I remember... it seemed like this was a task assigned to us by the cabinet?"
"Uh, I'm not that old, am I? Why can't I remember it?"
The researchers talked in confusion, and suddenly felt helpless and at a loss.
One or two people's memory loss can be attributed to poor memory, but this time everyone's memory has disappeared.
They are not stupid, they know what is going on.
A strong man has taken action!
Brighton quickly turned his head and looked at the experimental table, on which there was a magic pattern engraved with a new scroll system.
Hiss——
The sound of cloth breaking echoed in the laboratory. The scroll containing countless precious materials was destroyed by an invisible force.
The researchers' eyes were bloodshot and they were heartbroken.
The expenses can be reimbursed from the higher-ups, but this scroll is the result of their hard work!
As a result, it just disappeared!
Before everyone could feel too sad, the inheritance magic crystal that was sealed in the center of the laboratory by countless magic arrays suddenly made a crisp sound, which startled them!
"No! Don't do that!"
Countless people exclaimed, but to no avail.
Snap——
Continuous noises were heard, and dense cracks appeared on the inherited magic crystal produced by the system. The crystal stone that was laughing with its fists turned into ashes in an instant.
Under these successive blows, the researchers finally couldn't bear it anymore, and tears welled up in the eyes of these old men and women.
Although they don't know what the lost memories are, they all know that this knowledge is vital to them!
At this moment,
A guard suddenly ran into the laboratory and exclaimed, "Something terrible has happened! Dean Brighton!
A strange phenomenon appeared, a golden chain covered a thousand miles, it seemed that a peak twelfth-level expert had taken action! "
Vision?
Golden chain?
A peak powerhouse at the twelfth level?
Brighton looked at the mess in the laboratory. All the reasons combined together made him suddenly understand everything.
"grass!"
Brighton breathed rapidly and cursed: “These greedy thieves have no sense of propriety!
"Who the hell is this guy who offended Lin Miao? I'm going to chop him up!"
"I second the motion!"
"I chopped off his third leg! To cheer up Mr. Lin Miao!"
"Haha, I don't know which blind fellow offended Mr. Lin Miao. I was just worried about not having a good way to get close to him."
Listening to everyone's different thoughts, Brighton's eyes were burning, and he waved his hand: "If that's the case, then let's go again!"
After saying that, a group of researchers filed out of the institute.
They knew the nature of the empire's high-ranking officials.
Most likely, it was those greedy old guys who offended "Lin Miao".
If Lin Luo can take out one inheritance magic crystal, he can take out another one.
And as he said before, the inheritance magic crystals have different specifications.
Presumably, this scene had been expected to happen.
…
Outside the meeting room,
The officials fell to the ground in a disorderly manner. Before they could get up, they found that the knowledge of the scroll system had faded and disappeared from their minds.
In an instant,
An inexplicable fear enveloped everyone's heart, and they were trembling with fear and dared not move.
