Facing this quarrel that took place in the temporary inspection committee meeting room, many people in the meeting room were silent at the moment. Captain Colin had an angry look on his face, and the veins on his neck were rising and falling like painful earthworms. As he stood, Jerome's eyes looked at the two people arguing with a hint of gloom. Some of the other teachers remained silent, while others exchanged opinions in low voices with the people next to them. Most of the teachers were interested in this. There are some opinions on the tasks issued each time.
"Everyone..." The tall and thin man with a mustache and a gorgeous silk cap looked around at everyone around him, with a condescending tone in his voice, "This is not to discuss with you, but just to inform, Goose. Neck grass and golden wolf bone marrow are the materials that Master Abian requested for refining recovery potions. Now the Black Flame City military is in urgent need of a large amount of recovery potions. Near Black Flame City, these two items are only available in Crescent Grassland. Yes, your trial team happens to be in the Wild Wolf Valley, which is closest to the Crescent Grassland. The Black Flame City Management Committee entrusted me to bring this order. For these students, this kind of trial can give them more training. !”
"Do you want these little guys to exercise with their lives?" Jerome sneered.
"In which year will the trial be peaceful and without loss of life?" The guy wearing the silk mask retorted calmly.
"The Crescent Grassland is much more dangerous than the Wild Wolf Valley. The wild wolves there are in groups, and the second-level golden wolves are not something ordinary students can deal with. If the Black Flame City Management Committee needs gooseneck grass and golden wolf bone marrow, You can send people over to collect, there is no need to let a group of students take risks..." Captain Colin's one eye flashed with cold light, "I have served in the Black Flame City military for many years, how come I don't know when the Black Flame City military has become so luxurious? Can recovery potions be used as military equipment?"
Probably because he knew the temper and strength of the one-eyed dragon, the guy wearing the silk mask calmed down a little when facing Captain Colin, but his tone was still a bit aggressive, and he didn't mind that a lie in his language had just been poked in his face. break. "Captain Colin, the affairs of Black Flame City's military leaders are not something we can worry about. Everyone knows what major events have happened outside in the past few days. Now Black Flame City and the entire Andaman Alliance are in conflict with the Norman Empire and the Sun God Dynasty. The relationship is getting more and more tense. The military has no more manpower. There are several big figures in Black Flame City who need to reserve some recovery potions, so Master Abian is very busy now. This is just a small thing. I just need to borrow It's just a few tasks issued in the name of your temporary supervisory committee, and the above has already agreed. I will handle the specific matters, you just need to cooperate with me..." At this point, the guy wearing the silk mask sneered again, little The person's face was clear, "Of course. I know that you are very prestigious among the trial students, and many students will listen to what you say. If anyone wants to cause trouble for me during this mission, please feel free to do so, if I am here If this mission cannot be completed here, I will truthfully report all the situations encountered here to Master Abian and the Management Committee. Hey... hey... then the people you have to face may not tell me So easy to talk to!”
The name of Great Master Abian and the recent situation of the Andaman Alliance silenced everyone. Abian is the chief alchemist of Black Flame City and a big shot with hands and eyes that reach the sky. It is also a name that is enough to make everyone here feel tremendous pressure, and the current situation of the Andaman Alliance is even more unfavorable. Just last week, it suffered a disastrous defeat in Black Flame City. The red scarf thief who finally disappeared for a while appeared again. The sudden appearance of the red scarf bandit raided another city in the Andaman League, Reims City. After causing a lot of casualties and losses, the red scarf bandit turned around and returned. After running away, the defenders of Lance City mobilized troops to pursue them. In the end, the red scarf thieves disappeared at the border area between the Andaman Alliance and the Sun God Dynasty, but a group of the defenders of Lance City who were chasing the red scarf thieves were there. The border area was surrounded and annihilated by the troops of the Sun God Dynasty. After showing several corpses of the defenders of Reims City in the Sun God Dynasty, the Sun God Dynasty became very angry and accused the Andaman Alliance troops of destroying the peace on the border between the two sides. , attacking the border of the Sun God Dynasty and deliberately provoking a war. Part of the Sun God Dynasty’s army has begun to gather in the border areas of both sides. Everyone knows that this is a conspiracy, but so what if they know, nothing will be changed at all. , in addition to the Norman Empire, the Sun God Dynasty finally showed its fangs to the Andaman Alliance. The entire Andaman Alliance is now in turmoil...
"A few golden wolves and a few wolves will not be more terrifying than the armies of the Norman Empire and the Sun God Dynasty that these students may face soon!" Seeing the silence of everyone, this masked man wearing silk tapestry The guy added another sentence.
"All students in this trial are free. No one can force them to do anything, not even the Black Flame City Management Committee and Master Abian!" Captain Colin stared at the tapestry mask. This guy is like, "Is this our bottom line?"
"Hey...hey...don't worry, I believe there will be students who will cooperate with me, and no one will force them to do anything!" The guy wearing the silk mask laughed confidently...
…
Ten minutes later, standing on a window sill of the outer fort, looking at more and more students beginning to gather at the task announcement office below the outer fort, Captain Colin angrily punched a large stone on the granite windowsill. Captain Colin's fist knocked him off the window sill. Captain Colin turned his head and looked at Jerome, who looked a little melancholy with one eye. "Jerome, you have the best brain. You said, it's only been a month." No, has the situation outside really made it time for the big shots to prepare for a retreat?"
"What explanation does the lion need for eating a rabbit? This is what Lin Changjiang said personally when the Norman Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked Marshal Lin Changjiang, commander of the Norman Empire's Northern Xinjiang Legion and governor of Northern Xinjiang, about the Black Flame City incident. Marshal Lin Changjiang asked Norman The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire conveyed this word to word to the Andaman Alliance, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Norman Empire complied..." Jerome also sneered, "The gentlemen of the original alliance thought that this time it would be like this. As in the past, they used the Black Flame City incident to start a war of words with the Norman Empire. In the end, the major issue was reduced to trivial matters. Finally, they were allowed to stay out of the incident and make money safely. Who would have thought that this time, others would not even do superficial things? It's about to show its fangs, and the lion is about to eat the rabbit. The rabbit must be frightened. This time the Norman Empire is going to take action. Those guys in Black Flame City who only want to do business will have trouble if they don't prepare for a retreat. Yes, recovery potions, recovery potions are useless. Others want to chop off their heads, but they are busy trying to prepare some recovery potions. Their heads are about to fall off. They are still counting their wallets carefully, thinking about them. Gold coins. Black Flame City can't send any manpower now, but as long as their bounty can be increased three to five times, there will definitely be a lot of pioneers and adventurers willing to come to Crescent Grassland to make some extra money and help them get these values. The goosegrass and golden wolf bone marrow, which are not very high in the first place, are ready, so how can they be taken advantage of by villains like Samira who always look for opportunities to climb up. In the end, some students who come here to test Risk greater risks to do such a thing!" At this point, Jerome sighed. "Originally, I wanted these students to complete this trial without any worries. To give these students a good memory, it seems impossible now!"
After saying this, Jerome turned around and looked at Captain Colin seriously, "When this trial is over, I will resign and leave Black Flame City..."
"You want to leave?" Captain Colin looked at Jerome in surprise.
"I've been thinking about this for the past few days. Can't you see that troubled times are coming, whether it's in the Sun God Dynasty, the Norman Empire, or even the entire Blackson Human Corridor. Those real big shots are already here Various preparations are being made for the future. Maybe in the not-too-distant future, maybe three years, maybe five years, maybe ten years, the third human jihad will break out. And once the jihad breaks out, the lives of hundreds of billions of people will be at stake. Turned into corpses, countless countries and cities will be reduced to ruins. No one can know how long this holy war will last. No one can even know whether human beings will survive after the holy war. In such troubled times, following a group of people who only know There is no future for people who count gold coins and do small businesses. If you want to find a backer, you'd better find a bigger one. I don't want to work as cannon fodder for such a group of guys wearing tapestry masks in the future. What about you? Don’t come with me, why don’t we go out together?”
Captain Colin frowned and fell into a struggle. Today's events gave him a sense of frustration. When this frustration was combined with some recent things that happened in Black Flame City and the Andaman Alliance, the Cyclops The administrator of Black Flame City, who had been loyal to him for more than ten years, was shaken. Just like Jerome said, when Lin Changjiang, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army of the Norman Empire, said those words that were full of aggression and made all the soldiers of Black Flame City with blood in their veins furious, the alliance's What is the parliament doing? What is Black Flame City doing? It is not declaring war or preparing for a desperate fight, but it is a quarrel. In the alliance council of the Andaman Alliance, a lot of people are clamoring, saying that they want Black Flame City to be destroyed. Send all the witnesses and physical evidence collected about the incident that happened some time ago to Andaman City, and hold some bullshit hearing in the parliament, and the panicked Black Flame City is also ready to do it, and wants to sing together This performance really disappointed Captain Colin. The weakness of the alliance was exposed at this moment. A group of guys who only know how to count gold coins and do small business may get a lot of nourishment in peacetime, but in such troubled times, these guys wearing tapestry fakes will just be the fat on other people's chopping boards.
"Why, are you still thinking about that teacher Dinah? You can't bear to leave her, because you're afraid that such a great beauty won't make up your mind to accompany you on your adventures again?" Jerome's words hit Captain Colin's Achilles' heel.
When he mentioned Teacher Dinah, Captain Colin's face suddenly turned red, and then he stiffly argued like a child, "Yes, so what, I have saved enough money, and I will be able to do it soon." I bought a house of more than 100 square meters near Mingguang Avenue... "
"Wow, it's so warm. You two are a match made in heaven..." Jerome laughed strangely.
"Bastard..." Captain Colin punched Jerome, but Jerome, who was already prepared, slipped and retreated to the door in a blink of an eye, causing Captain Colin's punch to miss.
"Believe me, Colin, there will be no results between you and that woman!" Jerome said to Captain Colin seriously when he was leaving.
"Nonsense, I feel that Teacher Dinah is very fond of me!" Colin continued to say forcefully.
"That's your illusion!"
"Why do you say that?"
"When have you ever seen a swan fall in love with a bear?" After saying this, without looking at Captain Colin's angry and ugly face, Jerome ran away quickly, "I have to keep an eye on that Dai Kesi. Damn that guy, if that guy really wants to do something outrageous, I’m afraid I’ll have no choice but to make trouble with him. The students I teach are very smart, I just hope that there will be fewer hot-headed guys in your school’s students!”
