"Your name is Greem, and you come from the Sarubo family in the Sandy Tallinn region?"
A member of the alliance with the head of a mouse raised his head from the tall referee's platform, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at Greem suspiciously.
"Yes, my lord!" Greem tried his best to make his answer look calm.
Otherwise, anyone who sees a guy who looks like a big mouse in a silver robe, a flat cap, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking through documents in a leisurely manner, will probably be the first reaction to look up to the sky and laugh field.
But Greem didn't dare! He really dare not!
Because the opponent's appearance is ridiculous, but after all, the identity of a third-level wizard is there!
After all, Greem is now waiting for the other party's verdict in the name of a criminal, and any disrespectful behavior will bring unpredictable punishment to him.
"During your stay with Sky City, you violated the space management regulations here. You connected to a different plane without prior application and opened a small space wormhole. This behavior will cause a certain degree of damage to the safety of Sky City. Threat. Regarding this point, do you admit it?" Ratman councilor Paloparo slowly reviewed the document submitted by the silver-robed law enforcement officer Randolph, repeating Greem's charges word by word.
"My lord, I will never deny that I violated the regulations and conducted space experiments without authorization. However, the other party accused the space experiments of affecting the safety of Sky City, and I do not agree with this!" Facing the trial of this different world In the courtroom, Greem has always had the urge to laugh out loud. But this matter is related to his vital interests, so he can only endure it, and then deal with the other party with reason and evidence.
"Do you have anything to add to Sir Greem's answer?" Ratman Councilor Palo asked the silver-robed enforcer Randolph this time.
"My lord, our Space Committee is acting in full accordance with the rules of Sky City. The defense mechanism of Sky City has detected this space wormhole, and estimated that the space fluctuation intensity of the wormhole is XXX Dakh, and the radius of the wormhole is 1 meter. It is the secondary material plane of the low-magic space, and the location of the connection area is probably between the 0713 star field and the 0941 star field... Since it is an unknown and distant star field, rashly connecting with it will make Sky City face the possibility of being polluted. That's why the three of us agreed that it is necessary to severely punish His Excellency Greem's reckless behavior!"
The silver-robed enforcer Randolph's answer was sonorous and forceful, but Greem rolled his eyes when he heard it.
You have already been able to detect that the opposite side of the wormhole is a low-magic secondary plane, and you are still worried that the other side will invade the wizarding world? This is simply preposterous!
But in order not to reveal the teleporter in Goblin Kirby's hand to connect with the Goblin Empire, Greem could only shake his head and sigh to cooperate with Randolph to perform.
"My lord, I think the conclusion put forward by His Excellency Randolph is too arbitrary, and the other party doesn't have any direct evidence to support his conclusion..." Greem wanted to defend himself again, but the Rat Man Senator Palo lightly tapped the wooden hammer , has interrupted his speech.
"Your Excellency Nunnally, what we are discussing today is Greem's mistake of opening a space wormhole without authorization. Why are you here?" Ratman Councilor Palo turned his head to Nunnally again.
"My lord, this Lord Greem is a guest invited by our Byron family, and he has just won a victory for us in an esoteric competition. Because he came in a hurry, we didn't have time to explain the laws and regulations here to him, so we are here. It caused today's mistake. Therefore, I hope that the Alliance Tribunal will take this into consideration and give a light sentence. Our Byron family is willing to bear this part of the fine for him!" Nunnally obviously did not want to give up the void stone easily.
"But that's a void stone!" Although Ratman Councilor Palo looked old and pedantic, he was obviously not stubborn. At this moment, he simply pointed out the crux of the problem directly with a smile on his face.
"Since Your Excellency Greem has made a mistake, the only way for the Silver Alliance not to pursue it is to hand over that void stone. Of course, we will not swallow it for nothing, and will buy it at a price acceptable to both parties. Come down. As for you, Nunnally, don't try to meddle in it any more. I can use my authority to give you 2% of the resources of the Byron family from my private share, and use this as a reward for you to stop. How about it? "The Rat Man Councilor Palo blocked Nunnally's unrealistic delusions with a smile on his face.
Nunnally hesitated for a moment, but she had no choice but to accept in the face of a powerful third-tier alliance member.
As for Greem's opinion, to be honest, it is not important at this time!
And the only thing he can do is to make his own request, and try to keep his losses from being too great.
"Tell me, kid!" Rat Man Councilor Palo was obviously quite satisfied with having such a windfall, and even his mood became much better: "What kind of return do you hope to get?"
The loss of the Void Stone was already expected by Greem, so at this moment, he pretended to be in pain on the surface, but his heart was spinning rapidly.
"My lord, I am also very interested in witchcraft puppets. This time I came to Sky City to collect some knowledge related to witchcraft puppets, and by the way, collect some resources for making puppets. In addition, I also I've always been very interested in the puppet talisman..." Greem whispered his terms of the transaction, while staring at the expression on the face of the Ratman Councilor Palo.
Bargaining depends entirely on the bottom line of the transaction between the two parties. If it is less, it is a void stone that I am sorry for myself. If it is too much, it is very likely to cause the dissatisfaction of Ratman Councilor Palo. So when Greem talked about the puppet talisman, seeing the beard tremble on Ratman Senator Pai Luo's thin, furry face, he knew it and stopped talking.
"The knowledge, resources, and talismans of witchcraft puppets..." Ratman councilor Palo frowned and thought for a moment, then reluctantly nodded in agreement: "It is impossible to trade high-level knowledge within the alliance to you, but general-purpose witchcraft puppets are There is no problem.
As for resources!
I can allocate a batch of resources from the warehouse, which is enough for you to build twenty witchcraft puppets, and you can choose the type at will.
Puppet talisman... This is the most difficult thing to deal with.
The rules of the alliance are never to sell such strategic treasures to non-alliance members. However, I have an early simple work in my hand that is not within the scope of the alliance's rules and can be transferred to you...
Now let's see if the void stone in your hand is worth these things! "
Ratman councilor Pai Luo twirled his beard and slowly quoted the price he could afford, but immediately he fixed his eyes on the gray void stone that Greem took out.
That size, that texture...
Ratman Councilor Pai Luo's thin face moved slightly, he quickly grabbed the Void Stone, shot in several streams of black smoke, and silently explored the detailed data inside. After a while, a look of surprise finally appeared on his face.
It seems that the quality of this void stone is far beyond his estimate!
"Randolph, take him to my wizard tower, give him all the knowledge and resources, and let him pick whatever he wants according to the standard I just said. Besides, boy, this is for you!"
Following the words of Ratman Senator Paero, a pin-shaped crystal amulet was thrown into Greem's arms.
Puppet talisman!
This is the puppet talisman!
Resisting the excitement in his heart, Greem put away the puppet talisman, and after saluting Ratman Councilor Pai Luo again, he followed Randolph and left the small courtroom. It could be seen that there must be some kind of special relationship between Randolph and that Ratman Senator Palo, otherwise Greem would not have been led to him specifically.
You must know that there are no less than twelve small trial courts surrounding the circular alliance parliament hall, and there are even five third-tier councilors stationed in it. However, Randolph led Greem to Ratman Senator Palo. If there was no intention of benefiting private individuals, Greem would not believe it even if he killed him.
...
Skaven Senator Parow's Wizard Tower is still located in Central.
When Greem and Nunnally came to the wizard tower led by Randolph, a puppet butler was already waiting here.
Nunnally did not follow up wisely, but waited outside with Randolph. Only Greem followed the puppet butler into the wizard tower.
Maybe it was because Greem didn't want to see the secrets inside his wizard tower. Greem hadn't taken a few steps into the wizard tower before a bright and dazzling lightning fence appeared in front of him. The space in the tower is divided into roads leading to different directions by the static lightning fence, and at the end of each road is a small short-distance teleportation witch formation.
And the puppet butler turned around and walked on a path on his own, Greem had no choice but to keep up.
When the light of the teleportation array changed from strong to weak, Greem realized that he had come to a private library that could be called grand in scale. In the huge circular room, there are countless books, volumes and scrolls of witchcraft on the stacked bookshelves arranged along the walls.
Most of the books are shining with the dazzling light of witchcraft protection, faintly echoing the defense system of this library hall. And many weird elves shuttled back and forth between the bookshelves, as if they were doing some maintenance work.
Of course, these elves are not real living creatures, but activated puppets made of a special material that cannot be discerned.
"The master asked to prepare him a general knowledge of witchcraft puppets of level 2 and below!" The puppet butler's voice was full of metallic texture, but it was very clear.
After receiving the order, the elves in the room immediately got busy, quickly shuttled between the bookshelves, and picked out one book after another with their slender arms as thin as toothpicks.
Soon, a huge stack of books 2 meters high and 3 meters wide was piled up in front of Greem.
