Chapter 269 Conspiracy
"Found that relic?"
Everyone looked at each other for a while, and the man in black robe who had spoken earlier couldn't help but speak again.
"What else? They haven't even picked up all the things left by the ancient magic empire yet, so how could they have the leisure to study a completely new system?"
In the crystal ball, the man called Gray Mist spoke calmly, and his tone seemed to contain a hint of contempt for the Continental Magic Council, which was known as the pinnacle of magic.
"That is the remains of a giant metal city. It is also the capital of the ancient goblin civilization that is said to have been completely destroyed. It is the Construct City - [Talkesha]."
"The Magic Council obtained something similar to the Central Tower Spirit in the central palace of that city, which stored countless construction drawings and materials.
It is precisely because of this that they were able to suddenly promote a series of construction products to the entire continent almost overnight."
"Using constructs as a guide, the entire Yar continent is gradually changing its structure, and then manipulating the fate of the world. The person sitting on the astrology tower in the floating city is probably trying to take the step of becoming a legend with this!"
“…”
After suddenly hearing such a secret, everyone was shocked and dizzy, not knowing what to say.
Not surprised by the crowd's reactions, the crystal ball flickered slightly before the figure spoke again.
"According to the feedback from the stars, the development of the Web of Destiny is about to reach its second turning point. The first time, the biggest change was in the Itel Kingdom Federation. This time, the main change will occur in the Gloria Empire—"
"The time has come. Has the emergence of constructs caused two voices to appear in the upper echelons of the empire? One advocates acceptance, and the other advocates rejection?"
Hearing this, the four people on the right side of the long table suddenly became agitated.
"You mean, next, the Gloria Empire will also be affected by the constructs like the Federation?"
After a moment of silence, the third person sitting on the right side of the long table spoke.
"However, due to their compromise with the conservatives, the reformists only managed to open up the use of civilian magic constructs. Combat constructs that allow professionals to exert power beyond their level are still strictly controlled in the empire."
"Not to mention those ordinary chambers of commerce, even nobles below the rank of marquis must strictly report to the royal family if they possess combat constructs, and they must be regularly tested by prophecy casters to ensure that there is no false reporting of quantities.
If anyone secretly hoards it, it is a serious crime and will be treated as treason."
"And now, the mainstream of the empire's upper class is still conservative. What the reformists can do is already a limit.
In the next hundred years, the situation of construct control will probably not change, and it will not have any significant impact on the situation. "
After listening to the gentleman's speech, the figure in the crystal ball nodded.
“You are right, but this will be the trigger for the second change. The upper echelons of the Gloria Empire have been in a stagnant state for too long.
Not to mention the four eternal Grand Dukes, in the thousands of years since the founding of the Empire, there have only been two new Marquises. This was due to the death of a Marquis, leaving the position vacant.
Besides, I think this is the reason why you are all sitting here right now, right?"
The people on the right side of the long table looked at each other quickly and nodded slightly.
"Excuse me, Lord Gray Mist. What benefits can we gain if we cooperate with you?"
At the first seat on the right side of the long table, a man in a black robe wearing a dark golden lion face mask spoke slowly.
"Benefits? Hehehehe..."
A hoarse, low laugh came from the crystal ball.
"First of all, if you choose to help us, you are also helping yourselves. After more than two thousand years of accumulation, the game tables of the Gloria Empire are now full of people.
If you still want to participate in this game called thrones, you must find a way to let the first players leave and make room at the table. "
“In the past, you had to worry about the prophets of the royal family and high-ranking nobles, the ninth-order extreme strongmen, and the lack of sufficient military force.
And now, we will provide you with the support of high-level prophets and ninth-order extreme strongmen, so that you can gain equal countervailing power in this regard.
As for the military strength, I think there should be no more powerful force than the construct legion in the regular legion.
When the nobles at the top are caught in the quagmire of war, I don't need to tell you what you should do."
"Besides, once the mission is completed, our people will leave. The remaining territories, minerals, and population will all be yours! After all, the empire is your empire, isn't it?"
At the end, the figure in the crystal ball deliberately emphasized the word "your".
As he finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence again.
After a moment, the man wearing a dark golden lion-face mask at the first seat on the right side of the long table spoke again.
"Then how do we cooperate?"
The crystal ball flickered slightly, and the blurry figure spoke calmly.
"Don't worry. When you return to the empire, someone will communicate with you and tell you the next steps."
As he spoke, the figure in the crystal ball turned his gaze to the three men in black robes sitting on the left side of the long table.
"Then, it's the three Excellencies of the Federation. I think you all should be aware of what has happened in the Kingdom of Leica recently?"
"Are you the ones behind the Sixth Prince?"
The first black-robed man on the left suddenly spoke in surprise.
Facing everyone's questions, the figure just smiled, neither admitting nor denying.
"It doesn't matter who is behind Prince Leica Six. What matters is the power of the Construct Corps he demonstrated in the war."
"Do you guys want to..."
“Boom boom!”
Before the crystal ball finished speaking, the ground above suddenly erupted with a huge noise.
The next moment, the thick stratum of the earth tore open an irregular huge crack like a piece of paper, and a ray of white sunlight shone in from the gap, shining on the people who were caught off guard.
As the integrity of the secret room was destroyed, the light gray mist rolling on the walls suddenly dissipated.
Snap——
Realizing that something was wrong, the crystal ball on the main seat of the long table exploded. At the same time, gray magic flames ignited on all the fragments, quickly decomposing themselves into breathless powder.
But before these fragments were completely destroyed, a figure with a silver tower-shaped emblem on his shoulder emerged and froze the remaining fragments along with the ashes and flames.
"!"
In an instant, the seven black-robed men in the room reacted and simultaneously launched their strongest attack at the figure, and each of them automatically used space spells to prepare to escape.
But all the spatial fluctuations only lasted for a moment before calming down again.
With Villa No. 26 as the center, a temporary ultra-high-intensity blockade has been set up in the area within a radius of ten miles.
