Lord of Arcane

Chapter 995 Chaos lost contact
Sevington, Old Town, in an unnamed tavern near Moraine Tower.

In the mottled firelight of the fireplace, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind a thin wooden beam in the tavern, but the visitor did not intend to hide at all.

Almost at the same time as the figure appeared, a voice full of dissatisfaction came out: "Randall, do you really want to pamper Chaos?"

"Of course not, but being angry like you is not the solution to the problem, we still need to sit down and talk!" A cold and emotionless voice sounded from the fireplace.

At the same time, another kind voice also issued an invitation, "Don't be angry! Let's have a drink first! We can talk about this matter slowly!"

"Talk? What is there to talk to him about!"

Badigal stepped out from behind the beams and pillars angrily, came to the edge of the fireplace, sat down on a low cork chair, grabbed the wooden wine glass on the table, and drank a glass, and then said:

"Don't forget, Chaos is dead, at least in the eyes of most people, he has been dead for a long time, and now he wants to reappear, do you know how much trouble this will bring us!"

"He said that he is willing to appear with a brand new identity. Isn't that all right? Besides, why should we worry too much about Gilles High Tower's own affairs!"

The one who spoke was Grand Arcanist Harris of Fenwick Tower. Although he also felt that something was wrong with this matter, it was difficult for him to raise any objections.

It’s okay if Harris didn’t say this, but when he said it, Badigal was stimulated again. He stood up from the cork chair with a swipe, walked up to Harris, and asked:

"What are you talking about? What does it mean to appear in a new identity? Does he think that we are all blind? Does he think that the elves outside are all blind?"

In this regard, Harris said that he could not see or hear anything, and ignored Badigal's angry eyes, just kept playing with the wine glass in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Badigal became even more angry, but before he could do anything out of the ordinary, he was separated from it by Horn. Horn gave Badigal a drink while persuading him:
"Harris's character, you don't know? He is the boneless grass on the top of Patricia Mountain. Where the wind blows, he will fall in that direction. Don't pay attention to him, let's drink!"

When Horn said this, the anger in Badigal's heart calmed down a little, but when he thought that Horn was on his side at the critical moment, his sensitive heart felt awkward again.

He didn't go to pick up the wine that Horn handed over, but just snorted coldly, and went back to the previous seat, poured himself a glass, then didn't drink it, just put it there, and fell silent.

cough--

As the convener of the crowd, Randall had no choice but to speak in this situation. He coughed lightly to let everyone pay attention, and then said in his usual calm and almost indifferent voice:
"It is indeed a private matter of the Tower of Gilles right now, but our Seven Towers also have a tradition of supporting each other. It is impossible to let the Tower of Gilles continue to be in chaos. This is not only a loss for the Seven Towers, but also a loss for Netheril. .”

After finishing speaking, he paused to observe everyone's reaction, especially Badigal's reaction. Seeing that he was still silent, Randall continued:
"None of us expected such a result after Her Royal Highness ascended to the gods. Although it was indeed successful, it actually lost contact with us.

"As for her previously appointed successor, in the case of Master Byron's disappearance, it is difficult to become a parallel existence with us in a short period of time.

"It is reasonable for Chaos to restrict us from taking action on the grounds of the internal affairs of the Giles Tower, and to demand that Giles Tower be re-in charge."

After finishing speaking, Randall paused again, but this time Badigal did not continue to be silent, but sighed and said:

"I can still remember the scene when Her Royal Highness asked us to take care of Schom, and I remember that you all agreed!

"Furthermore, if Chaos regains control of the Tower of Gilles, he will definitely try to eliminate the influence of the princess as much as possible. This may not be in the interest of the Seven Towers, nor may it be in the interest of Netheril."

"No, I think just the opposite!"

It was Hadline of Janick Tower who was speaking, and since Badigal was willing to sit down and talk, he expressed his opinion——

"We all know that Chaos 'died' during the theft of the Nether scroll. He was with him, and there were other real or fake dead seven tower masters. On the one hand, the people need an explanation. On the other hand, it is also to paralyze the elves.

"But now that nearly a hundred years have passed, Netheril has become stronger, but the conservative atmosphere has also risen. The return of Chaos will not only bring the spirit of pioneering and enterprising, the spirit of cooperation and win-win cooperation of the ancestors, but also for the elves. An invisible deterrent.

"Badigal, how do you know that Chaos didn't take the initiative to stand up because of Master Byron's disappearance, otherwise, he hasn't shown up once in decades, so just wait for today?

"In addition, don't forget that when Chaos 'died' in a hurry, although there was a designated successor, it was Master Byron who took over temporarily, allowing Gilles Tower to pass the most difficult period before it was handed over to Germany. Munster, afterward De Munster selected Her Highness Siya, in addition to following the tradition, there may not be no meaning of repayment in it.

"Now that Chaos has come forward, how do you know that you are not paving the way for Schum? Badigal, let me ask you, if you teach Schum yourself, how long will it take for him to become a parallel existence with us?"

Hadleyn's words hit Badigal's heart every sentence, especially the last sentence. Badigal didn't have enough confidence to teach a great arcanist.

Of course, even if he could, he couldn't make a move. The interests of the Seven Towers were indeed closely related, but they were not close enough to allow him to intervene in a series of leaders.

Now his last stubbornness is nothing more than the heir that Schom personally appointed for the previous leader, Princess Shia. Apart from this, there is really very little he can intervene in.

And this is where he is most angry.

After a long time, Badigal finally choked out, "Is this what Chaos told you?"

"no!"

Hadlein shook his head, "But what else can we do besides believing this? Forcing Schom to take over? This is not a good thing for him or for the Seven Towers!"

"you--"

Buddy Gal was at a loss for words, but he still insisted on his own opinion:
"I still disagree. The reappearance of a great arcanist who has been clearly dead has too much impact. Now that Her Royal Highness has successfully ascended to the gods, it is just a low-level plan. It is really inappropriate to stimulate the elves."
