Platinum Throne

Meeting room 20 on the 2011th floor of the Platinum Tower.

The conference room was filled with representatives of various races and countries.For this situation, the Tower of Platinum is already very familiar, the distance between the table and chairs is wide enough to accommodate the body types of most races, as for those special races, such as giant dragons, they have not appeared in Platinum for a long time. Tower, so it can be disregarded.

These wide seats are funneled from the bottom to the top and can accommodate hundreds of people.

At the bottom of the funnel, there is a small platform. At this moment, an old mage wearing a gray mage robe with white beard and hair is knocking on the gavel vigorously: "Silence! Silence!"

The noisy voice gradually subsided.The old mage nodded in satisfaction, took out a pocket watch from his collar, raised the lens hanging on the bridge of his nose, and squinted his eyes to confirm the time.He coughed lowly, and there was a slight vibration in the air, and his voice was accurately transmitted to everyone's ears, as if the old mage was standing next to their ears and talking.

"It's almost time, our meeting is about to start." The old mage coughed again, picked up the information on the desktop, "Well... let me see the theme of this meeting...it's about..."

As soon as the voice fell, the door was opened, followed by centaurs and dwarfs rushing into the meeting room like a whirlwind.Accompanying them was the gnome's trademark shrill laugh: "Aha! Just in time!"

The old mage shook his head, and he struck the gavel again.Only this time, the gavel sounded like a warning, overshadowing the dwarf's voice.Both Eva and Erin felt a buzzing in their ears, a feeling they hadn't experienced in years.But when he was studying in the Platinum Tower, such small punishments with a warning meaning were not uncommon.The two of them shut their mouths subconsciously, and obediently went to find their seats.

Then the old mage slowly put down the gavel, stretched out his slender fingers like eagle claws, and pointed to the door.Following his movements, a gap opened in the void, and the water flow slowly drilled out. They condensed into one, like a living thing with its own life and will.

The stream of water split into two streams, closing the door nimbly, and finally tied a knot at the doorknob, and finally a face appeared on the knot, yawning lazily.

The old mage cleared his throat again, and spoke in the same slow tone: "Well, the theme of this meeting is the list of countries about the establishment and popularization of the Elemental Sea Pipeline..." At this point, the mage lifted his Raising his eyes, the people sitting around him stopped talking and looked at him with burning eyes.

The old mage shook the information and continued to read: "Since the voices of all parties are not unified, the main purpose of this meeting is mainly to discuss the method and authority of establishing the pipeline, and... the subsequent impact on the mainland after the establishment of the pipeline. "

In fact, no one cares about the last sentence.Everyone only pays attention to the first sentence.The sea of ​​elements represents the total amount of elements that can be used by all operators on the mainland, and operators are important strategic resources of the country. Especially in times of war like this, the importance of pipeline establishment can be imagined.

The small conversation sounded again, and the old mage turned his gaze to the front.

At the bottom of the funnel, there are five seats for four people.And directly opposite the old mage, the woman with brown hair raised her eyes.Her brown hair was meticulously styled, braided into a fancy braid, and carefully gathered at the back of her head, revealing a rational, full and smooth forehead.The golden pupils had a calm brilliance, a small one-sided glasses were clipped on the bridge of her high nose, and the golden chains hung down from the edge of the lenses, showing a straight posture.

If it wasn't for the soft jawline that softened the entire line, she would have looked just like the robe she was wearing, straight, regular, never accidental, and always rational and calm, but at the same time too cold and unreasonable.

After noticing the sight of the old mage, the woman nodded to the old mage, then stood up and walked slowly to the platform.The old mage also nodded in return, and gave up the seat to this woman who looked too young.

The surrounding noises gradually increased, and in an instant they all became ducks with their necks strangled, before suddenly quieting down.

"Hi everyone, I'm Norma Hill." The female's quiet voice sounded and fell on everyone's ears.

"Expressionless, like a puppet in a laboratory." Someone whispered softly.

Norma glanced in the direction of the speaker, and then looked back indifferently.She pressed one hand on the document, and her back was slightly curved, which was the effect of long-term desk work, but she still looked like a precise mechanical puppet, without human emotion, but always inaccurate something went wrong.

"I am the theory proposer and designer of the pipeline construction of the Sea of ​​Elements. Here I will explain the design concept of the pipeline construction of the Sea of ​​Elements." Norma's voice sounded unhurriedly, which belongs to the refinement of the words of a mage who has been in the research room all year round. Powerful, it cheered up other people who had been away from this atmosphere for a long time.

"As we all know, the number of elements determines the difficulty of the caster's spellcasting. The switch between the elemental sea and the main continent is in the hands of the gods. The construction concept of the elemental sea pipeline is to directly draw elements from the elemental sea to prevent the gods from closing the element After the sea passage, it will be a fatal blow to the profession of the main continent. The pipeline construction will be distributed throughout the main continent, and the node selection..."

After explaining, Norma looked at everyone's interested eyes, and the old god said: "... At the same time, I hereby declare my position. I oppose any camp, race, country and private team on the mainland. pipeline construction rights."

After these words were spoken, the small voices almost converged into a sigh.

There is no way, during the three-month tug-of-war, this kind of scene appeared again and again.And almost every time, once Norma Hill stood up, the feasibility of this matter would be greatly reduced.However, there are clear provisions in civil law that creators have the right to participate in every practical activity that utilizes their theoretical knowledge, and provide advice and help as appropriate.

In other words, if the creator refuses to help, there's a good chance others won't even be able to see what the blueprint looks like.

It took only three short months for everyone to go from anger to despair, and from despair to numbness.

"Then isn't your Platinum Tower going to dominate the sea of ​​elements?" A gloomy voice sounded.

Norma looked at the speaker, who was a human being.Wearing a cloak made of golden cashmere with many badges hanging from the neckline, he was looking at Norma.And his voice has already attracted echoes from those who agree, or those who worry.

"That's right, the battle of the gods has already started. Who knows when the gods will close the passage between the elemental sea and the main continent. During the elemental decline period, all spell operators will be finished!"

"Except for the Platinum Tower."

"Shouldn't the Tower of Platinum be placed above all spell operators in the entire continent?"

Speaking of this, someone suddenly sneered: "Isn't the Platinum Tower independent of all law practitioners in the whole continent?"

The female voice, with its characteristic shrillness, is dwarf.

For a moment, there was an embarrassment in the air.

As we all know, the Tower of Platinum is a huge city of pure magicians, and it is also the school that all magicians yearn for.Every year, the Tower of Platinum trains countless spell operators.At the same time, on this multi-faith continent where all the gods coexist, apart from the Academy of Darkness, the Tower of Platinum is also the only place that is qualified to conduct professional appraisals for all spell operators and convinces everyone.

As for the Dark Academy, where the dark elves and the God of Darkness control it, it is a place completely unacceptable to ordinary people, where another set of rules prevails.

But above the interests, everything can be discussed. If the interests of this matter are related to everyone, then there is only one conclusion.This is also the consensus of those present.

The common good will kill dissenters, even if it is Norma Hill.

"I have a problem." A human raised his hand.

The attention of the golden pupils turned, and Norma nodded to him: "Please tell me."

Humans stood up and bowed to Norma: "I am from the Eastern Continent, and I am an honorary member of the Free Chamber of Commerce. I am here to ask you a question on behalf of the Free Chamber of Commerce. As a creator and designer, you oppose any camp, race, or country. And the private team has the right to build pipelines, does this include the Platinum Tower?"

Norma's eyes flickered for a moment, and her voice was low, and it should have been a charming voice, but because of her calmness and indifference, it made people feel inexplicably unhappy: "Of course not."

There was an uproar in the conference room.

Norma stood on stage, unmoved by all the uproar.But when she spoke, the voice disappeared, leaving only her: "Looking at the whole continent, are there any groups, institutions, countries, and camps that contain everything like the Platinum Tower? Spark transmission and common interests, we should build the elemental sea pipeline so that the main continent will not be affected by the elemental tide. But for the sake of everyone on the main continent, dwarves, elves, humans, feathered people, centaurs, gnomes..." Norma said one by one She rolled her eyes one by one, and every time she moved to a person, someone would subconsciously look away.

And Norma's voice echoed clearly in the meeting room: "... For the sake of the lives of all races here, in order not to let the war destroy the main continent, we should have an absolute neutral position, and we can close the channel at any time, so as not to trigger further incidents." A powerful group of catastrophes. With all due respect, I cannot find any other organization or individual capable of doing this than the Tower of Platinum."

If the first few sentences still make the race with ulterior motives feel guilty, the last sentence is a real slap in the face.

The meager guilt of the politicians couldn't last too long, and the instinct of profit took the upper hand. Almost at the same time as the words fell to the ground, someone stood up and said loudly: "How can we ensure the absolute neutrality of the Platinum Tower! I demand a general vote resolution!"

If the general vote resolution is so useful, it will not be delayed until now.

But a full vote does ease the plight of everyone here to some extent.According to the provisions of civil law, if everyone raises objections to a certain decision, they can apply for a general voting resolution, and the general voting resolution makes the final decision based on the number of votes.Of course, there are many requirements and restrictions.

The biggest limitation is probably that after the decision is made, if the loser proposes a new proposal that makes them greedy, they will no longer be able to request a general vote resolution.This was originally a measure to prevent people with ulterior motives from targeting a certain party.

But who would have thought that most of the proposals in the three months were independently developed by Norma Hill. In other words, she had absolute control over most of the proposed projects.

When did the Tower of Platinum become Norma Hill's one-man stage!

Everyone hated in their hearts, but at the same time they were reluctant to cast the only vote.But now it seems that the time has come to have to use this right.

At this moment, Norma Hill nodded and repeated: "I respect your rights. Then, let me confirm again. Are you going to use a general voting resolution on this proposal?"

She seemed to be pointing something, and seemed to have another conspiracy!

Those present were all human beings, and they realized this almost immediately.For a while, the conference room was silent.

At this moment, the water element that had originally blocked the door let out a howl and gradually dissipated.The door opened, the old mage stood up, and a lazy voice came from the door.

"Sorry for being late, I hope I didn't disturb everyone's pleasure."

"It's Caroline Martin." The names were murmured, and no one made a sound of displeasure at her lateness.

The visitor had long blond hair, soft tear moles falling on the corners of her eyes, and the neatly dressed robe of the same style as Norma Hill standing in front of the stage embellished her innate obsequiousness, making her It looks a lot more serious.She slowly swept over everyone present, and finally landed on Norma Hill.

Norma's golden eyes flickered slightly.

At that moment, Caroline seemed to have returned to that humid and hot night, her golden pupils were full of water vapor, and she couldn't see the end at a loss, and the corners of her pale eyes were bright red.She gasped low in her ear, with excitement and impatience.

"Come here and ask me."

The author has something to say: Hey, big fat chapter!
