After Red Ponytail declared war on the Clock Tower on behalf of the Thousand Worlds Tree, the entire Clock Tower almost went crazy.

In particular, the aristocratic faction represented by the Euripides clan of the Advent Department threatened to completely wipe out the Thousand Worlds Tree from this world.

It was no wonder that the noble faction was so angry. During the Holy Grail War, the Thousand World Tree had already openly confronted the Magic Association, but the result was that both sides suffered losses. Since the Thousand World Tree blocked the news, the Magic Association did not know whether the Holy Grail War was successful. Of course, according to their thinking, the Thousand World Tree must have failed.

The Magic Association also suffered heavy losses at the time. Not only were all the magicians it sent to participate in the Holy Grail War wiped out, but they were also targeted, so that the Magic Association was a bit embarrassed for a long time afterwards.

This already made the top leaders of the Magic Association extremely angry, and this time, Qianjieshu actually officially declared war, and even denied the magicians' centuries-long grief, calling it a lie spread by the top leaders of the Magic Association in order to control the magic world!

In the eyes of the Magic Association, this Thousand Worlds Tree is simply outrageous! !

They also discussed sending magicians to the Far East to completely wipe out the Thousand Worlds Tree. However, as soon as those people arrived, they were sent back to their hometowns by the Heroic Spirits to get married. This made the Magic Association even more angry, but they could do nothing about it.

Seeing all this, Lanis was filled with emotion. What the Magic Association considered important was worthless to the Thousand World Tree. It was a pity that until now, the magicians of the Magic Association still didn't understand what they were fighting against... No, it was normal for them not to understand. After all, even Lanis herself wouldn't believe it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

So Lanis said nothing, but just made her own preparations silently - Fang Zheng did not give any advice on how to do it specifically. After all, Lanis was the head of a family, so she should know very well what to do.

However, in comparison, the Animusphia are more free and easy, because they are few in number, and it is normal for them to live in the mountains for a long time. I am afraid that if all the Animusphia moved to the immigration ship, the Magic Association would not find out. El-Melloi does not have such an advantage, their base is in London and Sly. Therefore, even the slightest disturbance may attract the attention of the Magic Association.

Of course, if there is an advantage of the El-Melloi clan, it is that they have fewer people than the Animusphia. Although the El-Melloi clan is a large family, there are only a handful of people standing on Lanis's side. For Lanis, as long as she takes these people with her, the life and death of others... is no longer within her scope of concern.

All she had to do next was wait.

At this moment, the Magic Association was still angry about the Thousand Worlds Tree. The monarchs of various families began to coordinate and communicate with each other in private, discussing how to deal with the Thousand Worlds Tree and the redevelopment of the London Underground Maze.

However, where they could not see, a big net was unfolding.

And it's very enthusiastic.

On April 5, the game "Duel City" based on the novel "Duel City" was launched globally and began to be sold. Due to Qianjieshu's early promotion at all costs, this card game became popular all over the world. From Asia to Europe to North America, even Africa, the sound of this card game can be heard.

Just three months after the cards were released, Soqing Entertainment, the manufacturer of the "Duel City" cards, announced the holding of a global duel competition. The competition is divided into four parts: city-country-continent-world finals. The top ten in the national competition will receive prizes ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 US dollars, and the top five in the continental competition will receive prizes ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 US dollars.

And in the final world finals, the winner will receive a prize of up to one million US dollars!

This immediately exploded around the world!

For a while, under the lure of high prize money, both those who already liked the game and those who had no interest in the game but wanted to make money joined in. After all, the threshold for this kind of competition is very low. You only need to spend a little money to buy a card pack and then build a deck to participate.

Not to mention, the prize money is pretty generous!

Even if you can only get a place in the lowest level city competition area, as long as you can enter the top ten, you can still get a bonus of one thousand US dollars. For many people, this is much higher than the chance of winning the lottery!

As for card packs, they are only one dollar a pack, which is considered cheap even in Southeast Asia. It is even cheaper in developed countries. If some people are lucky, they can put together a card pack for ten dollars, and if they are willing to spend a hundred dollars, then it will not be a problem at all.

A deck worth one hundred dollars could potentially earn you at least ten times the profit, which is enough to drive people crazy.

As the saying goes, a big reward will bring courage. Soon, this game swept the world in the shortest time. Of course, it's not that no one tried to make rare cards by themselves, but Fang Zheng had expected this. In fact, all cards use anti-counterfeiting technology similar to banknotes, and it is not easy to forge these cards. And at Fang Zheng's suggestion, Suoqing Entertainment also cooperated with police around the world to combat counterfeiting - as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

This is why the high prize money is offered. Because the mysterious nature of magic lies in being unknown, so as long as others know it, it doesn’t matter whether they like it or not. In order to get a high prize money, each contestant naturally needs to know the effect, function and record of each card - which is equivalent to knowing the truth of magic invisibly.

For Founder, this is enough.

Of course, this was a huge sum of money, but Fang Zheng didn't care. He had deducted all the money from the FBI's account. After deducting all the money from the FBI, Fang Zheng also used the funds from the CIA and NASA to hold the competition. They were also very annoyed and were trying to find out who did it, but... it would be best if they couldn't find out.

Otherwise Washington would be a sea of ​​fire.

Ironically, even though this matter has become a hot topic around the world, the Magic Association still knows nothing about it. In fact, many magicians from the twelve families have already discovered the problem. When performing magic, many magicians from the twelve families found that the effects of their magic were not as good as before. What used to be cooked medium-rare can now only be cooked medium-rare...

Of course, the ones who discovered this situation so far were only some very young magicians who were not very strong, so they didn’t take it too seriously and just thought that they were in bad condition.

What’s funny is that the poster for “Duel City” is hung on the street outside the clock tower.

However, the magicians who come and go seem to be completely unaware of the relationship between the two.

This is also normal. Apart from the new generation of magicians, who would play with this thing? Not to mention the magicians of the twelve families.

However, it is impossible for the new generation of magicians to know the magic secrets of the Twelve Families. Only the heirs and senior members of the Twelve Families are qualified to know these magic secrets. Therefore, even if a magician really played the card game and read the content, he would only find it a little interesting and would never think that the essence of his own family's magic had been leaked.

As for Lanis, who had already learned the secret from Fang Zheng, she could only sigh when she saw the scene before her.

If the Magic Association and the Clock Tower could sense even the slightest threat at this time, perhaps Lanis would consider changing her mind.

But unfortunately, now that people have begun to plan to cut off the foundation of the magicians, these monarchs still know nothing about it, and they don’t even feel the slightest bit of danger. This makes Lanis feel that there is a huge gap between the Clock Tower, the Magic Association and the Thousand Worlds Tree.

It's like an ant that only knows how to find food on the ground, completely unaware that there is a foot above its head that can fall down and crush it to death at any time.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it?"

Sitting in the pub, Fang Zheng, who had transformed into a red ponytail, crossed his legs and drank Coke while watching TV. In front of the TV, a group of people were gathered there watching the broadcast, but the screen was not broadcasting a football game, but the European regional finals of the "Duel City" card game.

In order to maximize the influence of this card game, Fang Zheng even instructed Qianjieshu to cooperate with European gambling groups. This way, even people who don't play games... can also gamble.

The European regional finals will be held in downtown London.

"It's quite ridiculous indeed."

Lanis sat next to him, shaking a cup of coffee in her hand. Just as Fang Zheng said, this was simply ridiculous. The other party had hit him in the face, but the Magic Association was still unaware of it...

"By the way, isn't today the crown decision? Aren't you going to attend?"

The so-called Grand Resolution was a meeting jointly held by the twelve monarchs who led the Magic Association and the Clock Tower, a bit like the United Nations closed-door meeting in the magic world. The location was in the center of Albion, the underground labyrinth under the Clock Tower. Originally, as representatives of the El-Melloi family, Reinice and El-Melloi II were supposed to attend this meeting.

But Lanis chose to give up directly.

"What's the point? After all, the Magic Association is going to be destroyed soon. Going there now will only lead to death. Olga Marie didn't go either... Well, my lovely brother is probably still busy in Sly right now."

"You didn't tell him?"

"If I tell you in advance, the Magic Association might find out. As the saying goes, if you want to deceive your enemies, you must first deceive your own people, right?"

"Indeed."

Having said this, Fang Zheng drank the Coke in one gulp, then stood up. He glanced at the TV screen and saw that the European Finals had already come to an end. Many people in the crowd cheered.

"Then it's our turn next."

For El-Melloi II, recent days have not been easy at all.

First, Lanis suddenly found him, and then said to him with a smile, "Brother, the El-Melloi family is planning to withdraw from the Magic Association, you come to help deal with the follow-up affairs." Such confusing words made El-Melloi II have to swallow stomach medicine while dealing with his own affairs. On the other hand, he always felt that the atmosphere in the Clock Tower was a little bad recently... El-Melloi II couldn't tell what was wrong.

But he had a bad feeling, a very bad feeling.

Perhaps, we should go to the Clock Tower to investigate.

"Gray, pack up, we'll be out soon."

"Yes, Master."

Gray nodded quickly after hearing what El-Melloi II said, and the two of them left their residence and headed to the Clock Tower.

However, just as they arrived at the gate of the clock tower, suddenly, a voice was heard.

"Oh, Brother, what a coincidence."

"Lenice?"

Hearing Lanis' voice coming from behind him, El-Melloi II was stunned for a moment, then he turned his head, and then - El-Melloi II was stunned there.

On the street, Lanis was waving at him with a smile, and next to her was a girl wearing a white coat and jeans, with twin ponytails as bright red as burning flames.

"Miss Red Ponytail?"

Gray was also quite surprised to see the red ponytail appear.

"What brings you here?"

"Because the time has come, Gray."

"Is the time right?"

"Yes, didn't I say that?"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and produced the bright red sword out of thin air.

"I will only come to the Clock Tower under one condition."

Having said that, Fang Zheng turned the sword upside down and thrust it into the ground.

"Seal it."
