Chapter 71 Secret Meeting
In the Alchemy City, the Alchemist Council has always been the supreme ruler and the most mysterious ruler.
There is no complete list of them, they rarely appear in public, and even their exact number is unknown to outsiders.
All I know is that any important decision is made from the ugliest tower in the center of the city, and any important news is also sent to this tower that symbolizes the shame of the Alchemy City.
At the top of the tower, there is a huge and empty room.
A huge round table stood alone in the center, with hundreds of chairs placed around it. However, at this moment, only four people were sitting in it, each sitting a long distance apart from the others.
Gustavo Flynn, the sixth seat of the Alchemist Council, was one of them. Looking at the empty seats, he said calmly, "The president once said that he hopes that one day legendary alchemists can fill this room. It's a pity that after so many years, the number of council members has never exceeded double digits."
The other three did not pick up the topic. One of them asked, "Have the people from the Ryan Empire arrived?"
Gustavo Flynn replied, "It's already on the way, across the continental teleportation array, and it will arrive tomorrow at the latest."
"Have all the hostages in the lich's hands been brought back?"
Gustavo Flynn nodded and said, "He agreed to the deal tonight. I will go check it out myself then."
"Then are you ready to deal with this lich? Have you found the lich's most crucial life box?"
Gustavo Flynn finally showed an impatient expression when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Watch your attitude, Dippel, don't think you can tell me what to do just because you are the second in command. I am not your apprentice, and you are not qualified to talk to me in an interrogative tone."
The alchemist called Dipper sneered and said, "You should know that the reason you are responsible for these chores is because your other contributions to the entire plan are negligible. Even the papers written by that lich have made greater contributions than you.
"So you should recognize your own position. In the Alchemy City, knowledge is above all else."
Gustavo Flynn clenched his fists. Such words were a great insult to an alchemist. Just when he couldn't help but want to teach the arrogant second seat a lesson, another member of the parliament spoke up: "Don't waste time talking nonsense. The success or failure of the plan is the most important. Flynn, although Dipper's words are unpleasant to hear, they are true. The lich is very important. We must make sure that you are ready."
Gustavo Flynn snorted coldly, then said, "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. I will get the lich's life box."
Dippel stopped mocking and said cautiously, "Then everything will proceed as planned. However, how do we deal with the Undead Queen?"
Gustavo Flynn said: "We will drive her out of the city today and activate all the defensive magic. Even if she brings out all her shadow army, it will take her one or two months to capture the city. Besides, there is no need for her to do this. There is no conflict of interest between us."
Dipper frowned and said, "It's impossible for the Queen of the Underdark to really come here for tourism. You still don't understand her purpose?"
"That's not important, and we don't have time to investigate it slowly. Her Majesty the Queen is also a lich. As long as liches don't involve their obsessions before reincarnation, their thinking will tend to be absolutely rational. This queen's obsession is obviously to deal with the Ryan Empire. She will never add enemies to herself recklessly."
Gustavo Fring's words are quite convincing.
The undead have lost most of their desires, and naturally, most of their emotions, so they will not be affected by personal emotions. In this way, it becomes quite easy to speculate the actions of an undead.
Dippel turned his head and looked at the only person who had not spoken, and asked, "Then one last question, Mr. Jones, is the druid ready?"
The sun shone on this man, and the cloak woven from leaves looked particularly green. This was a druid, and as a nature worshipper, he should have hated these alchemists, but he just sat calmly at the highest point of the Alchemy City, listening to them talk about the greatest secrets.
If Amber was here, he would be able to recognize this druid as Van Jones, whom he had met in the sewer.
Facing the alchemists' questions, Van Jones nodded solemnly and said, "As long as you keep your promise, we will bring the girl here as promised. However, she cannot be allowed to get close to the things in the sewers. Even though she was adopted by our tribe since she was a child, she is still connected to that thing by blood. Last time, she ran to the sewers on her own and almost trapped me and my people."
Gustavo Flynn said: "Don't worry, just bring the people here."
At the end of the meeting, Dippel stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, I hope everything goes well and we can all get everything we want."
The four of them dispersed, and the huge conference room fell into silence and darkness again.
However, these four people did not notice that during their meeting, unusual dark clouds had been covering the sky above the Alchemy City.
The gap between legends is huge, and the abilities acquired by some legendary powerhouses are incredibly powerful.
The eldest daughter of the Bone Dragon Family, Cang Gu, is one of them. As a bone dragon, her personal strength is not that strong, but the legendary grace she obtained is related to stealth, and this talent is fully utilized by her.
Even the Parliament Tower with its multiple layers of magical protection could not stop her from eavesdropping, and the information was as clear as a face-to-face conversation.
When she disappeared into the clouds, no one would have any doubts about the dark cloud, let alone detect any trace of her presence. No one could have imagined that such a huge bone dragon was actually a legendary assassin.
On the huge body of the bone dragon, there was a headless giant riding. Although the headless knight was more than four meters tall, he still looked a little petite on the thirty or forty meter long bone dragon.
Miss Bone Dragon said impatiently: "What on earth are these alchemists talking about, Gareth, do you understand?"
The Dullahan couldn't shake his head and could only reply, "Who knows? My brother told me that alchemists have very twisted mindsets. Just send what you heard out there and let those people with brains have a headache."
Miss Bone Dragon also thought it made sense, but she said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, don't think I've made peace with you. I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"
Gareth echoed, "Okay, okay, let's talk about it when we get home, let's talk about it when we get home."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Cang Gu sent the information he had monitored to the Withered Rose through the Code of the Undead, and the Withered Rose quickly sent the information to Amberxiu.
Looking at the words on the Code of the Dead, Ambershut tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table.
After thinking seriously for a long time, he sent a message to Withered Rose: [Ms. Rose, I have a very important request. I hope you can do me a favor.]
[Dead Rose: So serious? What do you want me to do for you? ]
[Ultraman Tiga: Please keep my life box for me for the time being. ]
[Dead Rose: What are you talking about? You want to give me the life box for safekeeping? ]
Withered Rose's fingers were shaking as she sent the message. What was going on? The progress seemed to be unexpectedly fast.
[Ultraman Tiga: Yes, since the Alchemy City is not going to involve you, who else but the powerful Queen of the Dead can help me keep this most important thing? ]
[Dead Rose: That is the lich's life box. ]
[Ultraman Tiga: It doesn't matter. I believe you. After all, we still have billions of dollars of business to continue to cooperate. You won't harm me. ]
After a long time, the Codex of the Dead finally sent new news about the Withered Rose: [Okay, I will keep it well.]
Amber Xiu drew several complicated magic circles in the air with his hands, and a hidden treasure chest slowly emerged and fell heavily to the ground.
Amber walked over and opened the box, revealing hundreds of exquisitely crafted silver-white boxes inside.
