Chapter 652 Quiet conference hall!
More than half an hour later, at the Holy Alliance headquarters building, representatives and mayors of various holy cities came to the conference hall with doubts.
"What happened? Why did Duke Edward suddenly summon us here?"
"I don't know. After the Sea Clan issue is resolved, nothing major should happen during this period."
"Could there be some unexpected situation? Like the New Temple or the Beastmen?"
"Nothing should happen to the beastman recently. They are preparing to send people to compete with us for the passage quota. It is impossible for them to take any action against us humans at this time. Moreover, if something really happens, we should be able to receive the news in advance."
"Could that be the new temple?"
"Duke Edward is here!"
Just as everyone in the conference hall was talking, Edward finally arrived at the door of the conference hall.
As everyone looked towards the conference room hall, they saw Edward and a pretty girl walking slowly into the conference room.
Some city lords or representatives had also seen Adela and naturally knew her identity, but the more so, the more confusing it became.
Shouldn't it be something important that he summoned everyone here so urgently? Why did he bring his granddaughter with him?
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Edward walked calmly to the round table in the center, while Adela held his arm with a slightly blushing face.
The representatives and city lords in this conference room were all her uncles, and almost all of them were men, so she naturally felt uncomfortable.
"I know you must be very confused as to why I suddenly called everyone here!"
"But I'm sure you'll thank me later!"
Edward stood at the round table without sitting down. He looked around at everyone and spoke directly with a faint smile on his face.
Although the people around were stunned after hearing Edward's words, they did not speak immediately. Instead, they waited for Edward's next words.
The same was true for several city lords and representatives in the center of the round table, although a few holy city lords frowned slightly in thought.
Edward didn't keep everyone waiting for long. He just paused and continued, "Today's events can be said to have a significant impact on the entire Holy Alliance. Now, I would like to ask the Pearl of the Sky City, Adela, to help you solve your doubts, because this matter is related to my granddaughter!"
After saying that, Edward patted Adela's arm gently and motioned for her to go to the podium to speak.
"Yeah, Grandfather!"
Adela, who was concerned about this matter, had calmed down her previous nervous expression. When she heard her grandfather's words, she responded obediently, then raised her chin slightly and walked towards the podium with elegant steps.
Whether she can accomplish what Gervis has asked her to do depends on her performance at this moment. Adela will naturally not be afraid of the stage.
Edward looked at his granddaughter's performance and the smile on his face became even brighter.
The reason why he took the initiative to admit that this matter was related to Adela was actually because of two considerations.
First, the mysterious man originally entrusted Adela to sell the potion, which shows that the mysterious man trusts Adela very much.
Letting Adela take the stage now means that the sale is still led by Adela, and Sky Castle has not interfered.
The advantage of doing this is that it eliminates the possibility of causing disgust from the mysterious person and prepares for the subsequent medicine transaction.
Edward will do this until the identity of the mysterious man is revealed. After all, if any accident happens during this period, the Sky City will not be able to obtain more mental power potions.
The second is to prevent Sky City from becoming the target of public criticism. Currently, Sky City is only helping with the sales, and Edward doesn't want people to think that the potion is already in the hands of Sky City.
Although the soldiers of Sky City are not afraid of any holy city, they have not gained any benefits after all. It would be very unprofitable to be used as a target.
Moreover, in the Holy Alliance, the Sky City not only has opponents, but also allies.
If the forces affiliated with Sky City thought that the potion was already in the hands of Sky City, then if they asked Sky City to buy it but Sky City was unable to provide it, this would easily lead to a series of problems.
Therefore, it is the most beneficial approach at the moment to let Adela come forward herself, while the Sky City hides inside to protect her and gain benefits secretly.
"Dear uncles and aunts! Thank you very much for coming!"
Adela was worthy of being a rich lady. She was graceful and elegant when she came on stage with a reserved smile on her face. She remained dignified and elegant in front of the most powerful people in the Holy Alliance.
Then, Adela's clear voice continued to be heard.
"A friend of mine asked me to sell something, and this thing is extremely precious. I believe that only the Holy City where all of you uncles are can afford it!"
Having said that, Adela simply took out a bottle of light green potion from the space bracelet and displayed it in front of everyone.
"Potion? What kind of potion is this that could make Edward go to such great lengths to notify us to come?"
"Yes, and it is said that it has a very important impact on the entire Shen Shen Alliance!"
“Could it be…”
"Impossible! If it was really that kind of potion, how could Edward be willing to take it out?"
When Adela took out the potion, a whisper of discussion finally broke out in the conference room.
Those who could sit here were naturally not simple people. The moment they saw the potion, coupled with Edward's abrupt action of convening a meeting.
They immediately thought of the news released by the Alliance College some time ago.
However, no matter how much they thought about it, even they themselves couldn't believe it. If it was such a potion, how could Edward be willing to give it out?
"Dear uncles and aunts! This potion is the one that can increase your mental strength!"
Adela naturally heard the whispers below, and immediately smiled and spoke the final answer clearly!
Wow!
"Is this really a potion to increase mental strength?"
"Pearl of the Sky City, are you kidding me?"
"Yeah, if it really is a potion to increase mental strength, how could you possibly take it out?"
Instantly, the entire conference room exploded. All the representatives and the city lord stood up, staring at the light green potion in Adela's hand.
Even if Adela said it herself, no one would dare to believe that the bottle of potion in her hand was the potion that increased mental strength.
"Everyone! Everybody!"
At this moment, Edward, who always had a smile on his face, spoke.
As his deep voice rang out, the conference room finally quieted down a bit.
"Although it is unbelievable, this is indeed the potion that increases mental strength. I have asked Bedford to test it personally."
"To be honest, if this potion was in my hand, I would definitely not take it out. I'm sure any of you would do the same!"
"But this potion was obtained by Mingzhu of my Sky City. She promised the pharmacist that our Sky City would not secretly keep this potion, but would also purchase it through competition!"
If everyone found Adela's words hard to believe, then Duke Edward's personal confirmation would naturally make it impossible for everyone to doubt it anymore.
After all, Edward's identity is there. What benefit can he gain by deceiving them in such a matter?
After realizing this, everyone's eyes suddenly became hot and they all spoke to Adela.
"Ms. Adela, how many gold coins are there for one bottle of your potion? We in the Holy City of Libby want to buy some!"
"Yes, Miss Adela, how much of this potion do you have? We in Spark Holy City also want to buy a large amount!"
"Miss Adela, we..."
A potion that increases mental strength, which means a magician.
And every magician is a valuable resource for each force, so no force is willing to miss such an opportunity even at any cost.
For a while, there was an endless stream of calls for purchases in the conference hall. If Edward had not been there, and this was the meeting room of the Holy Alliance headquarters, Adela would have been surrounded by people.
Edward heard people asking questions like 'how many potions are there' and 'buy in bulk', and knew that they still didn't understand the true value of the potion that increased mental strength, so he spoke again.
"Everyone be quiet!"
Edward suppressed everyone's words again. When the emotions of everyone in the conference room stabilized a little, Edward spoke solemnly.
"You probably don't understand the effect of this potion yet. Let me put it this way! I believe many of you know Bedford, right? Bedford told me personally that this potion can help him break through from a four-star magician to a five-star magician!"
“…”
When Edward finished speaking, both the representatives of the Holy City and the powerful city lords stood there with their eyes wide open, staring at him in disbelief.
quiet!
It’s so quiet!
This time, the conference hall did not burst into noisy discussions as before.
Of course they had heard of Bedford. After all, he was a famous master of potions in the Holy Alliance. Moreover, as the chief magician of the Sky City, Bedford's detailed information was inevitably investigated and paid special attention to by various forces.
Judging from the results of previous investigations, Bedford will never be able to make any further progress in his lifetime and can only remain a four-star wizard until he dies.
And this is indeed the case. Ten years have passed, and Bedford is still a four-star wizard.
But now Edward said that this potion could help Bedford break through.
That's a wizard, not a junior magician. There's a world of difference between the two.
It's like an ordinary magician only needs to take ordinary magic recovery potions to restore his magic power, but a wizard must use the best magic recovery potions.
The same is true for increasing mental power. From this comparison, we can see the effectiveness of this mental power potion.
"Duke Edward, are you kidding me?"
After a while, a city lord sitting at the round table finally asked with difficulty.
"Heh, do you think I, Edward, am a joker?"
Edward chuckled, paused, and continued.
"There are currently two such potions. The Pearl of Sky City has decided to auction them at the Sacred Business in a week. If you want to buy them, bring enough gold coins with you!"
Edward knew the effect had been achieved and there was no need to say anything more.
So he directly announced the specific quantity and the method of purchase, then walked to the podium and walked out of the conference hall with Adela, leaving the lords and representatives of the Holy City looking at each other in bewilderment.
“This…this…this…”
Seeing Edward and Adela leave, many city lords wanted to discuss something with others, but they couldn't say anything for a long time. The news was too shocking.
If the potion is really that effective, then one bottle would represent an entire magician.
"There's still a week left. No, we have to prepare in advance! Everyone, I'm leaving first!"
"Everyone, I'll go first!"
Next, one by one, the lords and representatives of the holy city began to say goodbye to others and leave.
They believed Edward's news 90%, so it was necessary to prepare in advance no matter what.
The reason for the lack of belief is the effectiveness of this mental potion. Of course, all will be known after getting the potion!
Now it is better to believe it than not to believe it, as this concerns a magician.
"Let's go too!"
Seeing that many city lords and representatives had already left, there were still several city lords sitting at the round table in the center of the meeting, one of them immediately spoke up and prepared to leave.
The Holy City families that can sit at this round table are all top families in the Holy Alliance, so they are usually in competition with the Sky City.
The sudden appearance of this potion that increased mental strength naturally made them a little surprised and suspicious.
"Let's go!"
Houston, the mayor of the Golden Shield Holy City, stood up with a slight frown on his face, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
And with the departure of these city lords and representatives, everything that happened in this conference hall today will spread to the entire Holy Alliance at an extremely fast speed!
Thanks to "Buffering 99%" and "Xufeng77" for the tips!!!
Today is both Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. Sanqian would like to wish you all a happy double festival!
