Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1215 Negotiation and Concession
Just when Schum was about to lose control of his emotions, Randall suddenly proposed: "There may not be only one survivor in this matter, how could an ancient existence like Thorne die so easily!
"Scombe, I know that there is some kind of connection between Gilles Tower and Thorne. I don't want to go into it, but I think you can try to contact Thorne yourself."

Randall's words made Schom think of something, and the emotions that were about to get out of control were immediately controlled, but he was still full of anger, but his anger at the moment was not all directed at the people in the Seven Towers.

"According to the contract between Gilles High Tower and Thorne, the summoning circle is in operation all the time. I checked it before coming here, and the other party didn't reply." Schom said expressionlessly.

Due to the particularity of the Eternal Holy Spirit and the astral world itself, if there is no time anchor that persists on the main plane, then the Eternal Holy Spirit will not be able to establish a connection with the current moment of the main plane.

For people at the current moment on the main plane, the Eternal Holy Spirit only exists in the past, and the moment he achieves the Eternal Holy Spirit, it is considered to have disappeared.

In other words, the Eternal Holy Spirit does not actually exist compared to the present, he is just a legendary figure that existed in the past.

The existence of the summoning circle is to provide the eternal holy spirit with a time anchor at the current moment, and to summon the eternal holy spirit free from time to the present world.

That is to say, if Thorn is not dead, the time he exists in the astral world can be infinitely longer than the time Schom is summoned on the main plane.

In this infinite amount of time, Thorne did not reply, which means that Thorne will probably never reply.

Although Schum was willing to believe in such a possibility, he still had to tell the truth in front of everyone.

For everyone on the main plane, the Eternal Holy Spirit was accomplished more than 100 years ago, but for the Eternal Holy Spirit itself, the time he has experienced may be longer than the existence of humans on the main plane!

What kind of things would such an ancient existence do? Schum, the "young" director who had just taken over Gilles Tower, was very unsure in his heart.

In other words, when he told everyone that Thorn did not respond to the call, a large part of his heart actually believed that Thorn had a problem.

Silence soon fell on the projection hall. Even Harris did not speak out to provoke Schom. Everyone was thinking about the possible reasons behind Thorne's disappearance, even conspiracy.

After a long time, Badigal took the lead in breaking the weird atmosphere, and turned his attention to the only non-Seven Towers existence in the hall:

"Your Excellency Iolum, what do you think of this matter? Do you think it was an accident, or the beginning of a conspiracy?"

"I do not know."

Iolum shook his head, he completely ignored everyone's expecting gazes, "But whether it's an accident or a conspiracy, before tomorrow, there must be a definite result that can stand everyone's inspection! "

It's easy to come up with a result, but it's not easy to get a result that can stand the inspection of everyone. The biggest problem here is——

Now even they themselves are not sure about the real cause of Cliff's death. Even if they want to forge a result, they don't know where to start, and it is even more difficult to stand the inspection of others.

Iolum's words once again revealed the most difficult part of this matter to everyone in the Seven Towers, but in addition to maintaining the overall interests of the Seven Towers, everyone in the Seven Towers also had a small mind to win more benefits for themselves.

A great arcanist with a special status died in Gilles Tower. This matter is not a trivial matter. If it is not handled properly, the consequences will be even more serious than the death of all the heads of the seven towers.

Under such circumstances, Schum was dissatisfied with everyone's attitude, but after calming down, he still had to lower his posture and cast a look of help to everyone.

Regarding this, Badigal frowned and did not respond. The others were also thinking about something, but Harris hesitated to speak, which made Schom feel agitated.

He realized that the crowd had been slow to express their views, and perhaps they were waiting for him to express their views first, so Schom endured the irritability in his heart and gave his bottom line:

"Everyone, the reasons behind this incident are complicated, and it is related to the interests and reputation of the Seven Towers. It is beyond the ability of the Giles High Tower family. I hope that everyone will put the Seven Towers first and do not hesitate to help. Any consumption during the period will be entirely up to Jill. Sky Tower is in charge."

It meant that he was willing to pay only for the losses related to this matter; he would rather sacrifice the overall interests of the Seven Towers than provide for the extra part beyond the scope of this matter.

Schom's words can be regarded as delineating a framework for everyone's actions. Badigal and others are not dissatisfied, and the same is true of the Seven Towers' practice.

Only Harris, he had been expecting to use this matter to kill Scombe, but he didn't expect such a reply, but in front of everyone in the Seven Towers and even Iolum, he didn't say anything, just He answered vaguely.

Afterwards, everyone began to discuss their respective tasks. As the most prestigious master of the Seven Towers after the Princess, Badigal first assigned himself a task:
"Until the results of the investigation come out, the news needs to be blocked temporarily. I will go to the Tower of Glory later to make sure there will be no trouble over there."

Later, Randall also offered: "I can go to the star realm to investigate, you start from the main plane. In addition, Archbishop Benedictus is a reliable elder, we need to seek his help!"

"Then I'll go see Archbishop Benedictus, and I hope he can see my father's face and perform a prophecy ceremony for this matter."

Horn's words made Schom nodded repeatedly. If there was anyone present who was most likely to invite the retired Archbishop Benedictus, then only Horn.

Horn's father used to be the lord of Benedictus, even though Benedictus was later promoted to the bishop of the Great Temple, this master-slave relationship did not change.

In fact, it was precisely because of Horn's father's recommendation that Benedictus was able to develop better and become a highly respected archbishop today.

If it were someone else, they could only go there in the name of the Severton Council, but this is not conducive to blocking news.

Moreover, with Benedictus' current status, even if he wanted to issue an order in the name of the parliament, there were still many cumbersome procedures to go through.

On the contrary, it is not as efficient and convenient as using Horn's personal relationship.

It's just that such a personal relationship is difficult to measure in terms of value. Thinking of this, Schom couldn't help but feel a little pained.

After Horn, several other great arcanists also took the initiative to participate in this investigation. Even Harris also took the task of communicating with the elves and the ambassadors of the dwarves.

This investigation must be a lot of noise, and the elves and dwarves will inevitably make misjudgments, so timely communication is also very necessary.

Among the seven towers, Harris is very good at this skill.
