Throughout the afternoon, Kevin continued to copy books.

As the evening approached, Kevin finished his day's work and prepared to return to his residence in the Scholar's Tower.

To his surprise, senior Mond actually came at this time.

"Senior, your authority should be very high, can't the books in the library of the Bachelor's Tower not satisfy you?"

"What are you talking about? Which library can collect all the books in the world? In fact, I visit the Royal Archives every now and then to see if there are any new collections of interest. I didn't come because I was busy, if you don't believe me, ask your supervisor and colleagues, I am old acquaintances with them."

Mond explained with a smile, and greeted another administrator who was about to leave.

"Okay, then let me serve you senior, what book do you want to read?"

"I made a list, please help me find them."

Mond took out a note and handed it to Kevin.

Kevin took the note and found the books one by one and put them on the table. When he found the last one, he smiled and said, "You are so lucky. This book was just returned at noon today."

"Oh, that's really lucky."

Mond laughed and left with a pile of books.

But within a minute, he returned it again, and said somewhat mysteriously: "Kevin, I have some good news for you. The teacher was sent by His Majesty to the Holy See. His old man plans to take you to see the world. You have to do it well." Get ready."

"Huh?" Kevin was a little surprised, "I just worked here for a few days, isn't it suitable?"

"Oh, it's just a part-time job anyway, don't worry, I'll greet your supervisor tomorrow, doesn't he even give our teacher face?"

"Uh... okay."

…

In the barracks in the north of the imperial capital, the ten-member group of the Secret Law Society was having a meeting.

But the so-called "group of ten" is still only nine people.

The leader, the old man in black robe, said in a deep voice: "Based on all aspects of the situation, the current Aldo Kingdom has been divided in fact, and Giles has only maintained his surrender to the royal family in name."

Another added: "Yes, Aldo's power is at an all-time low and the country will continue to decline for the foreseeable years to come."

Others also discussed.

"It's really touching. The founding king of Aldo surrendered the lords all over the country in chaos, and also recovered the lost land occupied by the orcs for many years, expanding the territory to the east to the Inner Rodan Corridor, the west to the endless sea, and the north to the Rocky The natural boundaries from the mountain range to the Miasma Forest in the south are almost about to reappear the glory of the Gubera Empire, and I didn’t expect it to be reduced to this state.”

"There is no eternal dynasty. For those countries with large territories in history, as time goes by, the monarch's control over the vassals is getting lower and lower, and they will all fall apart. Alas, even our cause, in the Hundreds of years later, it will be just a paragraph in the history books. Also, pay attention to what you say, what is meant by recreating the glory of the ancient Bella Empire, we Gabela are the orthodox successors of the ancient Bella Empire."

"Hmph!" A female voice sounded, expressing her dissatisfaction with this passage.

"Obviously the capital and most of the population and territory of the ancient Bella Empire are in Aldo..."

"Why, do you still have nostalgia for Aldo? Huh, I know your past..."

"I don't understand, even with Aldo's previous situation, he is not capable of forcefully interfering in external affairs, so why should we..."

"You know, their Princess Catherine is not a good person. What will happen once she succeeds and integrates Aldo? Now is the best state, even if she succeeds, there is nothing she can do. Besides, His Royal Highness Antonio agrees Yes, are you going to disobey His Royal Highness Antonio?"

"Shut up! Where did I say I would disobey His Royal Highness Antonio?"

…

"All right!"

Seeing that the debate was about to become more and more intense, the old man in black robe stopped it immediately.

"Although we come from different countries, I hope that everyone will not have conflicts because of their countries. The current weakening of Aldo and the instigation of Diagon Bay are all acts of last resort for the sake of planning. We are not The destruction is for the sake of destruction, and it is not purely for the benefit of the Gabela Empire, but because of the national strength of the empire and His Royal Highness Antonio's recognition of us, making Gabela the best platform for us to realize our plan, but what we have done Everything is for the future of the entire human race."

The old man in black robe said word by word:

"I hope everyone will not forget that terrible prophecy."

The last sentence made everyone in the room tremble.

The meeting returned to the original topic.

"Since we have fallen into the state we expected in Aldo, it is time to take action in Jiaowan."

The old man in black robe turned to the woman just now, "Ms. Chi Yan, you went to Jiaowan yourself, what do you think of the situation there?"

The woman named Chi Yan has a beautiful face and dazzling red hair. She replied: "The conflict between the coastal countries and the church has reached its peak, and it only takes one spark to ignite it."

The old man in black robe said: "Well, Nathan is still lurking there. Presumably with your son's ability, it is easy to do this, not to mention that we also have someone in the Jiaowan Church to support him."

He continued: "We still have to set fire to the headquarters of the Holy See. The war in Jiaowan is not the goal, but pulling the Holy See into the water is the goal."

Someone responded: "Master Aldrich's mission has been arranged properly. He has persuaded His Majesty the Emperor to support the Holy See in the upcoming dispute over the Horn Bay. With the support of Gabela, a big country, the Holy See will be greatly increased. The determination and courage to intervene in the situation in Jiaowan.”

"very good."

The old man in black robe nodded.

A hoarse voice sounded, "The business is almost finished, let's discuss other topics, about... Barnett."

When this name was mentioned, everyone suddenly realized that Barnett, a member of the ten-member group, hadn't shown up for several years, and they... seemed to feel that something was wrong.

It's no wonder, after all, that guy Barnett likes to be alone.

The hoarse voice said: "Barnett hasn't shown up for so long, and he hasn't fulfilled his responsibilities for a long time. I propose to expel him from the ten-member group."

"This…"

There was a lot of discussion.

Someone said: "Expel Barnett without permission. He will turn against us when he comes back. Barnett's status is not low among people in their line."

"Come back?" The hoarse voice snorted, "Let's just treat him as dead. Have you guys not heard from him for so long?"

People who knew Barnett recalled that although Barnett went out for a relatively long time every time, it was the first time that there was no news for so many years.

Such a powerful caster ~lightnovelpub.net~ is really dead, mortals have to mobilize an entire army to kill him, right? But that guy also has the ability to escape under the siege of the army.

Someone muttered in a low voice: "The mage advocates freedom, and he was expelled on the grounds that he has not attended the meeting for a long time..."

The hoarse voice retorted: "A group of rats in the gutter still talk about freedom. Let's talk about it after our goal is achieved. Before that, we must maintain the tightness of the organization of the Arcane Society. A loner like Barnett A man who goes alone is the black sheep."

Everyone was silent.

The black-robed old man said: "In this case, I propose to add Lord Aldrich from the Scholar's Tower as a member of the ten-member group."

"What, how can this work?"

Someone disagrees.

"Members of the Mystic Society must be spellcasters first, let alone the ten-member group leading the Mystic Society. Of course, I respect Maester Aldrich, but I can't break the rules."

The old man in black robe said with a smile: "Hehe, you don't know, actually..."

"Let's put this kind of thing first..."

A voice came from outside, and then the owner of the voice appeared, it was Maester Aldrich.

He said very seriously: "I need you to act now."

"About Marshal MacDonald..."
