After returning to Mill City, Telo Hylar naturally held a high-level meeting immediately and began to bring up the matter of changing the court. But just as he predicted in advance, this idea met with opposition from everyone and almost no support.
"We in Mir City don't have many believers in the God of Knowledge, let alone many believers in the Mask of the Void. Why should we change sides and go to them?" Those who hold this attitude are the most common.
"Of course changing the camp is not a problem, but how much benefit can the Northwest Republic bring to us? Is the benefit worth the risk?" Those who said this were selfish and unscrupulous senior officials.
"We in Mill City are not a dispensable little player like Golden Tower City, nor are we a semi-independent frontier like Gray Tower City. As a city with a legendary mage, we can be said to support the 'Mystical Tower' The Federation is one of the pillars of this building. How can we secede from the Federation? It's simply ridiculous!" The person who said this was Hyrule's junior brother, the second oldest among Master Mir's remaining disciples. He has always been upright and peaceful. At this moment When he opened his mouth to speak, he sounded loud and clear.
Seeing that the situation was a little tense, another junior brother hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Elder brother just made a suggestion... But in my opinion, this matter is really inappropriate. Let's not talk about feelings. Considering the importance of our Mill City to the Federation, Sex, there is no way the Federation will allow us to secede.”
"Yes! What should we do if a group of legendary mages come over?" An old judge with white hair and beard said tremblingly, "I am old and just want to live a peaceful life. City Lord, please don't bother me. .”
When he said these words, the senior officials immediately nodded.
Ranking based on seniority is a common problem among all intelligent creatures, no matter where they are. Most of those who can get to the top in Mill City are already quite young. At this moment, the old man's words touched everyone's hearts.
The situation in Mill City is very good now, and everyone is living a stable life. Why should we take risks in pursuit of better things
No matter what the benefits of joining the Northwest Republic are, they are not worth the risk.
Hyrule was not angry, but laughed.
Such a reaction had long been expected by him, and the reason why he proposed that Mill City change its gates and merge into the Secret Tower Federation naturally had an ulterior motive.
"Of course I have my own reasons for making this suggestion." After everyone's chaotic opposition gradually subsided, he said, "I have been friends for so many years. I won't go around in circles with you. I'll put the most direct answer first. Let me tell you the reason - I received the gift from His Majesty the Mask of the Void, and I have escaped from the mundane world and entered the realm of legend."
His words were like pouring a spoonful of water into a boiling oil pan, causing the conference room to boil immediately.
When they saw him rejuvenated before, everyone didn't think much of it. After all, Tro Hylar is known as the "Golem Mage". He usually seals his true body and his soul is attached to the golem. Although this time the golem is different from his past style, there is nothing surprising.
In this world, there are many mages who use golems that are exactly the same as themselves. What’s more, the golem Hyrule is using now is not like himself—considering that he is almost three hundred years old, he has seen him Almost all mortals who looked like they were in their thirties would have died long ago.
Some people also had a vague guess. After all, the Church of Masked Void has a very famous specialty product, which is the life-sustaining potion. Although the life-extending potion can only last about ten years, and no matter how much you drink in the future, the total life will not exceed fifteen years, but since His Majesty the Mask of the Void can allow this potion to be sold, he, the old man There must be a better way to survive.
If he hadn't received the benefit of extending his life, it would have been impossible for Tro Hyrule to suggest that everyone defect to the Mask of the Void and merge with the Northwest Republic.
However, even the most imaginative people never imagined that the Master of Hyrule would not only rejuvenate his youth, but also enter the realm of legend!
This is of course because Hyrule has restrained its pressure. He is not the kind of person with a wild background, but a person who has been taught by a legendary mage for many years, has a good relationship with another legendary mage, and has once reached the threshold of a legend. He knew a lot about the legendary realm. Although he was a little unable to control it at first, he soon fully mastered his current power.
He did not use teleportation spells to return directly from Void City to Mir City. Instead, he arrived at the Supreme Tower first, then found a group of guards, rode a luxurious carriage, and came back leisurely. This journey took about ten days, enough time for him to fully master his own power.
Now as long as he wants, he can completely hide his power at any time. Not to mention just pretending to be similar to the past, even if he wants to become completely powerless, it is also easy.
So if he hadn't explained it himself, no one would have thought that he had become a legendary powerhouse.
The ones who reacted most violently to this were the junior brothers of Hylar. One of the younger ones, in particular, couldn't help but stand up and exclaimed: "Impossible!"
It's no wonder that he reacted violently. Among Master Mir's disciples, except for Tu Yaan, who was alienated by everyone because of his research on necromancy, he was the one with the highest level. Currently at the peak of high-level, he is at the peak of his strength. If it were not for the pursuit of reliability and the hope of success, he would have tried to reach the legendary realm long ago.
However, being able to hit the legendary realm does not mean that you can step into the legendary realm. Back then, Senior Brother Hylar had also reached the peak of high-level, and had also hit the legendary realm, but the result was naturally a failure. Not only did he not succeed, but he was seriously injured. He spent nearly ten years recuperating from his injuries and took many precious medicines to regain his strength.
After that, the Master of Hyrule tried to attack the legendary realm twice, but both failed.
If it hadn't been for three failures, no matter how much he continued to live, his strength would not have weakened to this point.
This junior brother has not tried it once yet, and this is when he is full of confidence and momentum. In fact, he has already thought about it. After waiting for a while, when the senior brother's body cannot support him and retires, he should be able to become the city lord with his strong strength and good relations. When the time comes, he will hit the legendary realm in one go and get a double happiness!
However... as Hyrule entered the legendary realm, this plan naturally came to nothing.
Tro Hyrule is about three hundred years old this year. This lifespan is simply the extreme for a mortal. No matter how he extends his life, his death will only happen in the last three to five years. But for the legendary powerhouse, a mere three hundred years old is considered a young man. If he hadn't suffered too much damage before, his appearance might be in his early twenties.
In other words, he still has at least three to four hundred years to live. If he works hard to extend his life, it will not be a problem to live for another thousand years - there are legendary old mages in the Secret Tower Federation who have lived for four to five thousand years. And it is said that in some small worlds, there are still legendary strong men who use deep sleep to delay aging and have lived for tens of thousands of years.
But this junior brother will not be able to live another three or four hundred years no matter what.
In other words, unless he steps into the legendary realm, he probably won't be able to wait until this senior brother retires.
This made the junior brother very angry. It was not that he had to be the city lord, but his confidence was shaken because of it. His originally perfect plan was ruined, which damaged his state of mind. If he did not make up for it, the impact of the legendary The realm is bound to fail and there is no possibility of success.
That's what really pissed him off.
But no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to get angry with his senior brother who had already entered the legendary realm. Regardless of his seniority, just his strength alone, Tro Hylar at this moment was enough to crush him.
A legendary strongman who can conceal his legendary level power very well without showing it at all is definitely not a challenge that can be challenged by anyone below the level of legend.
So he stood up and after shouting in shock and anger, he said nothing more and just sat down dullly.
When Tro Hylar saw this, his face remained calm, but he was secretly sneering in his heart.
In the past few years, he had been talked about "death" and "retirement" by this junior brother openly and secretly to his face and behind his back more than once, and he had already accumulated deep resentment. Before, he was not as strong as him, and he was indeed on the verge of death. It was unimaginable. Now that his strength has greatly increased, and he has a long lifespan, the strength and weakness of each other has been reversed. Of course, he must express his grievances well!
Of course, he can only do it to this extent. After all, we are still brothers, after all, we have not broken up with each other yet, and more importantly, the teacher is still there after all.
If Master Mir hadn't still been there, how could this junior brother have allowed an old guy with only a high-level entry-level strength to occupy the position of city lord and refuse to retreat
In the same way, if Master Mir hadn't been there, Hyrule wouldn't have gone to great lengths to play this trick. Instead, he would have teased the junior brother at the beginning of the meeting, and waited until the other party couldn't help but take action, and then show his true strength. Crush it directly, even if it doesn't kill the opponent, it will still seriously injure him - the kind that requires him to lie in bed for more than half a month.
For Mir City and all the disciples, Master Mir is the Dinghai Shenzhen and their backbone. Whether it was Tuyan, who had stepped into the legendary realm through his own efforts, or Hylar, who had stepped into the legendary realm with the help of His Majesty the Mask of the Void, they were all in awe of him.
In their impression, the teacher is the embodiment of wisdom and strength, even compared to His Majesty Lampelus who founded the country of mages, he is not necessarily far behind. Unless absolutely necessary, none of them would choose to be an enemy of the teacher.
After playing a little trick and taking care of his junior brother, Hylar finally stopped hiding his strength and released his aura of a legendary strongman.
Emerald green light bloomed from his body, and the vigorous power of nature flowed from his body, like clear spring water, washing over everyone. For a moment, everyone felt as if their bodies had been washed inside and out, and even their bones felt a little lighter. Especially those who are also old and frail, feel much more comfortable, as if they are ten years younger.
Compared with people, the tables and chairs in the conference room are more obviously affected. The tables and chairs here are all made of wood. Of course, they have been cut down and dried out long ago, and have completely lost their vitality. But under the influence of Hyrule's power, the wood that had been dried and even treated with preservatives became full of vitality again. The chairs sprouted branches and leaves, and even connected with the big table. The table is naturally growing branches and leaves, and has derived many aerial roots, which penetrate deeply into the wall next to it, slowly integrating with the large room used for meetings.
Finally, in the center of the big table, the green vine twisted to reveal a large bud, which slowly bloomed and turned into a beautiful bright flower.
Seeing this scene, no one doubted Tro Hyrule's strength anymore.
A person who can do such a thing would say that he is not a legendary powerhouse. Do you believe it
The top management of Mir City are all well-informed, and it’s not like they have never seen legendary powerhouses. In terms of momentum alone, Tro Hylar is no less powerful than Tuyan, another legendary mage that everyone knows. And the things he did were absolutely impossible for anyone below the level of legend.
"Strange... Senior brother, have you changed your path?" After a while, the second senior brother, who was second only to Hyrule in seniority, asked curiously, "I remember your path was not this, why did you change... Is this 'natural' or not? 'Plant'? It's just these two."
"Junior brother, you are indeed an expert, I can't hide anything from you!" Hylar nodded with a smile, "With the help of His Majesty the Mask of the Void, I finally understood that the path I originally chose was not really in line with my heart - what I wanted. , In fact, it means living steadily and for a long time like those legendary ancient sacred trees."
The second senior brother nodded repeatedly: "You are right! This path is indeed very suitable for you. No wonder you failed three times in the beginning. It turns out that the path that really suits you is none other than 'plants'!"
"So, if we switch to His Majesty the Mask of the Void, you will also have the opportunity to ask him to help you find a path that is truly suitable for you." Hylar's eyes swept over the junior brothers one by one, "I can succeed, how can it be possible? Don’t you want to take the final step and become a legendary powerhouse like me?”
After saying these words, not only the junior brothers, but also every high-level expert present fell silent.
Who doesn’t want to take the next step and become a legend
Who doesn’t want to push the limits and live for hundreds or thousands of years
Now, hope is at hand!
In the silence, Tro Hyrule laughed.
"Actually, we don't have to be so anxious to change the family." He said, "We can reveal a little bit about our tendency first, such as inviting the Church of the Mask of the Void to preach... The road has to be walked step by step, and the meal has to be eaten in stutters. There is so much time, so why bother in a hurry?"
This is his real purpose. What he said so much before is just to set a goal that is too difficult to achieve and give everyone an illusion so as to reduce the opposition in everyone's hearts.
Just like in business, asking for high prices is nothing more than a counteroffer.
