Chapter 730 Prelude

“Hello, Mr. Calgar, why are you here today?”

Amaryllis, who was sitting behind the table, had a plain expression and a cold voice, completely lacking the enthusiasm and tact of ordinary diplomats. However, Calgar did not take it seriously. In fact, these diplomatic representatives had long discovered that Amaryllis was not the kind of lubricant that would allow the Tribunal to have friendly exchanges with other forces from all over the world. On the contrary, she was more like a representative of the Tribunal. A public announcement officer, which means that if the Tribunal has something to inform other forces, it will ask Amaryllis to announce it.

Well, now, Amaryllis's position is actually more like a spokesperson rather than a diplomat.

 “Miss Amaryllis.”

　In front of this young lady, Calga also abandoned his usual politeness and went straight to the point.

"I am here on behalf of the Red Robe Mage Association of Seer this time to discuss with you the construction of the Red Robe Mage Association's stronghold in Arkham City. We hope to get permission from the Tribunal to establish a stronghold in Arkham City. A stronghold dedicated to selling magic equipment. At the same time, we also hope to reach a trade agreement between the Tribunal and Purcell..."

 After saying this, Calga's expression was a little serious, but Amaryllis's expression remained unchanged and she just glanced at him lightly.

“So, is Mr. Calgar aware of the rules of the Inquisition?”

"this………"

 Hearing Amaryllis' question, the corners of Calga's mouth twitched slightly, of course he knew.

 According to the regulations of the Tribunal, the land ownership of the entire Lost Land territory belongs to the Tribunal. No organization or individual may sell it at will without permission. At the same time, the purchaser of the land only has the right to lease the land and has no ownership rights. Even if you purchase land, if you want to build a building on it, you must submit a building blueprint to the court and obtain permission before construction can begin. If the inspection reveals irregularities in the building, the Tribunal has the power to demolish it.

 Frankly speaking, basically everyone is used to these terms in modern times, but how can people in Faerûn accept this? Especially for organizations like the Red Robe Mage Association, their strongholds are almost equal to hiding places for illegal materials, and various secret passages and small vaults are definitely indispensable. As a result, you insist on following the construction blueprint, and if it doesn't comply, it will be demolished on the spot?

 Where is this logic?

"Of course I know the rules of the Inquisition, but..."

“As long as we strictly follow the rules and regulations, there will be no problem.”

Amaryllis didn’t even listen to Calga’s next “but”.

“In addition, we will not grant extraterritoriality to the Red Robe Mage Association. As long as they are within the territory of the Tribunal, any force or organization must abide by the regulations of the Tribunal.”

　　　…………”

In other cities, who would have dared to speak to Calga like this, the latter would have already threatened and persuaded him to do his own thing. But in front of the Inquisition, Calgar really didn't have the guts to say harsh words.

"As for trade transactions... they need to be approved by the Grand Inquisitor, and then Miss Ernesta will contact you."

 After saying this, Amaryllis stood up.

"please."

　　…"If that's the case, then I'll leave it to you."

 Karga stood up speechlessly, then turned and left.

The other party made it very clear, so all he has to do next is wait.

Calja’s request also appeared on Duanmuhuai’s desk that day.

“Sure enough, I knew these red-robed bald heads would definitely not be able to bear it.”

Looking at the application form in front of him, Duanmu Huai was not surprised at all. In the game, places like Faerûn, where demons are raging, will of course be infiltrated by the evil gods of Chaos. The scale of corruption can easily appear in the camps of elves and druids, and the wrath of violence will appear on the battlefield of **** battles. Succubi The Demon of Desire can easily fall victim to the evil of obsession, and when it comes to treachery, it will almost certainly appear in the Red Robe Mage Association.

This is one of the reasons why Duanmuhuai chose the Lost Land. To the west of the Lost Land is the High Forest, the home of the elves and druids, and to the east, across the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, is Purcell. When the time comes, whether the Supreme Forest is corrupted or Seer is causing trouble, I won't believe that a volley of macro cannons can still kill you.

 After all, the truth is within the range of the cannon, so I ask you whether you accept it.

It is true that the Red Robe Mage Association is really suitable for cunning and cunning.

As we all know, red-robed mages are synonymous with insidiousness and cunning. Whether it is the interaction between peers or the desire to climb up, these bald heads will be prompted to use various conspiracies and tricks. They can be called the human version of drow. Of course, unlike the drow, the Red Robe Mage Association uses this method more for an elegant hobby. Conspiracy and poisonous wine are far more advanced to them than flipping the table.

Hmm, but in fact, the red robe will overturn the table when pressed.

Furthermore, the logo of the Red Robe Mages Association also coincides with the treacherous number of nine - the logo of the Red Robe Mages Association is a big fireball in the middle, surrounded by eight smaller fireballs. According to the official explanation of the Red Robe Mage Association, the eight small fireballs represent the eight major factions of the Red Robe Mage Association.

As for what the big fireball in the middle represents, there are different opinions.

At present, everything is normal in the Supreme Forest. On the contrary, there is a turmoil in Seer. Duanmuhuai has long known that since the raw materials of the Tribunal leaked out to the market of Faerun, the magic equipment business that the Red Robe Mage Association has been controlling has begun to falter. . As business in various places shrank, Purcell gradually became turbulent internally.

 It can be seen that raw materials are the most important part of controlling the world.

 No matter how awesome Bill Gates is, he can make the system come up with tricks, but there is no point in making chips without enough raw materials. It’s useless to produce ten Jobs. The so-called clever woman can’t make a meal without rice. The supplier of raw materials is the one who sells rice. If I don’t sell the rice to you, won’t you starve to death even if you are the palace chef?

Of course, because of this, raw material suppliers can easily be targeted by others. After all, no one wants their wealth and life to be in the hands of others. So in this case, if the supply of raw materials is enough to fight, like the Inquisition, then it can do whatever it wants, as long as it does not cause human life. Even if someone is killed, they can be killed for a little money.

But if you can’t get it, it will be the life of the black uncle in South Africa. If you dig diamonds in your own home for the rest of your life, the diamonds are not your own.

Purcell didn't have the guts to go to war with the Tribunal, and the archmages from the eight major factions of the Red Robe Mage Association didn't dare to bring trouble on Duanmu Huai, so they could only hold their noses and endure it.

 However, once the benefits are unevenly distributed, it will only be a matter of time before there is turmoil or even chaos in Sayre.

 Chaos, conspiracy, change, everything that cunning and cunning likes are gathered together, but I don’t know how it will act this time. The Space Marines that Corruption chose to send to follow him were burned by Duanmu Huai. However, the treacherous deceit is obviously not as brainless as the Corruption...

Duanmuhuai thought for a moment, and then sent a telepathic message.

 “Qiaowei, are you there?”

 “Here, what’s the matter?”

Although Bambi is ostensibly responsible for intelligence and internal affairs, in fact the collection and organization of intelligence is done by Qi Wei, and she herself seems to be very interested in this kind of behind-the-scenes work.

“I want you to send a team of puppets to Seir immediately to collect information about the Red Mage Association.”

“Ser...but I’m not familiar with the red-robed mage.”

 “You don’t need to worry about that.”

Duanmuhuai smiled slightly.

"I just want you to keep an eye on one thing. Once you find out that there is a debate in Seer about changing the eight major factions of the Red Robe Mage Association into nine major factions, notify me immediately."

 “This is simple, leave it to me.”

After giving the order to Qianwei, Duanmuhuai looked at the application in front of him again, then stretched out his hand to stamp it.

"As long as the red-robed mage is willing to abide by the requirements and regulations of the Inquisition, then I agree. Of course... they'd better not challenge my patience."

 After all, Duanmu Huai is not a good-tempered person.

Although Duanmu Huai could also tell this matter to the de facto dominant lich of the Red Robe Mage Association, he was not interested in chatting with a mage. After all, in Duanmu Huai's view, many mages were very cunning, and they had no interest in chatting with them. It was easy to get distracted when talking, so Duanmu Huai decided that it would be more appropriate to express his attitude simply, directly, and neatly, using macro cannons simply and crudely.

It's like the other party invites you to play chess to determine the outcome. As long as you sit down, you lose. The best way at this time is to pick up the chessboard and smash it directly into the face that deserves a beating.

rule? What I ride on is the rules!

 The rest is not important.

From this perspective, Duanmuhuai believes that weapons are better than rules, because they will not be misinterpreted and will not be silenced when needed.

 As for the issue of the sin of obsession...

Duanmu Huai thought about it for a while, and it was okay to fight a **** battle, but neither the Queen of Desire nor the Queen of Succubus seemed to be interested in handsome guys of her type. They preferred fair faces with thin skin and tender flesh.

There is no other way but to wait for them to be corrupted by the evil of obsession and then kill them.

The construction of the Tribunal here has been on track, and the construction of the second layer of protective net has begun. Duanmu Huai must ensure that his territory is like a giant hedgehog, enough to withstand all attacks from the outside world. Of course, there are also internal problems - he has already begun the work of integrating the formation to recruit Gray Knights. Those who are strong in the Judgment Blade team and are willing to fight for humanity can get this honor.

As for the untouchables, it is not so easy to find. At least until Duanmuhuai finds someone to cast this "Frostmourne", he will not be able to reappear the Sisters of Silence.

 As for the Assassin’s Court—well, what Qi Wei is doing now is already quite rudimentary.

 The Inquisition, the Gray Knights, the Sisters of Silence, the Assassin's Court... Duanmuhuai has basically replicated almost all the organizations within the jurisdiction of the Inquisition.

The Star Language Court and the State Religion were not originally under the jurisdiction of the Inquisition...

"Owner."

At this moment, Ogis walked in.

 “What’s the matter? Ogis, what’s the matter?”

 “Miss Charlie hopes to meet you.”

　　　…………Why is she here again?”
