Platinum Throne
Chapter 6
At the pipeline construction meeting the next day, everyone was surprised to find that today's progress was particularly smooth.Norma Hill was in full swing, and all kinds of clauses that people felt could be won, stretched, or even simply uncomfortable were passed at an incredible speed.
"What happened today?" Someone asked in a low voice.He looked at the front of the meeting room. Of course, the seats are particular, and the people in front are almost all bigwigs from various camps and countries.As for the people behind, like this speaker, they are usually the thugs who are in charge of getting ahead, or the followers who raise their hands.
But today, the speed of following was too fast, as if some ferocious beast was chasing them behind them.
"Shh, it's none of our business," another whispered.
As for whether their voices reach the front, it doesn't really matter at all, just like him and his companions, it doesn't matter at all here, as long as they can eat some soup with the big guys, it's not bad.
But the progress of the meeting still slowed down and ended up getting stuck on the builder of the node.
"I think, since it is a builder, it costs a lot of money, of course it is not suitable for someone who completely uses the Platinum Tower." One of them said that he saw Norma's eyes sweeping towards him, and laughed, "Master Hill , you can also ask your colleagues to send out all the mages from the Platinum Tower, and the others agree."
Norma subconsciously swept towards the colleagues next to her.
Some people shook their heads, but Murphy looked excited.Norma knew this guy, he was born in the Platinum Tower like her.The difference is that Murphy is full of hostility to the magicians who are studying in the Platinum Tower or even staying here, and thinks that they should all be expelled.And now this situation is simply wishful for Murphy.
Norma subconsciously looked to the other side.
The Tower of Platinum is divided into two factions, nominally "conservative" and "pragmatic", but everyone inside the Tower of Platinum knows what's going on.The people who were born and raised in the Platinum Tower, and the other wave of people who stayed in the Platinum Tower through learning or various methods in adulthood or youth, this is their real contradiction.
Norma, as a representative of the conservatives, corresponds to Caroline Martin, a representative of the pragmatics.This one was born in the Holly Principality and is the third daughter of the Grand Duke.Perhaps her loyalty to the Platinum Tower is unquestionable, but on top of that, there is a principality behind her, and behind the principality, there is a free alliance.
Caroline sighed, her sigh was so vivid, it seemed to bring a regrettable breeze in this originally quiet conference room.
"I think it's time for the plenary to vote on the resolution."
As soon as Murphy's face changed, he stood up almost immediately, and yelled at Caroline: "Caroline Martin! You abandoned..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a soft wind blocked Murphy's mouth.The wind blocked his language, and his voice did not reach the ears of others at all.
"Murphy, this is the conference room." Norma glanced at Murphy, she tapped the solid wood table lightly, and Murphy sat down involuntarily.And soon, branches grew on the solid wooden stool, and they wrapped Murphy, making him have to sit firmly on the chair, like a ridiculous wooden man.
Caroline couldn't help but sneered, and the next moment, Norma's eyes were fixed on her.
Caroline raised her hands and made a gesture of surrender: "I understand that I shouldn't laugh at my colleagues. Teacher, please forgive my mistake." She knew Norma's character well, if she let her gloat, then the next moment , the person who replaced Murphy was himself.
On this point, Caroline is quite sensible.
Very obedient to admit mistakes and apologize, from expressions to etiquette are impeccable.Norma's brows twitched slightly. She didn't like this feeling very much, as if all the spells released were swallowed up by the void, which brought a feeling of helplessness and powerlessness.
Norma was silent for a moment, and decided not to pursue the source of this inexplicable emotion. She looked at the others: "Then, whether to use all voting rights."
After all, this right was used.
Norma felt helpless and powerless.Standing on the stage, she lowered her eyes as she watched the lively discussion among the audience.
Originally, in their plan, the ownership of the pipeline was not important, but the selection and construction of nodes was more important.So Norma deliberately consumed the only vote on ownership.I didn't expect to be interrupted by Caroline, and this ticket eventually went to the place where it should not go.
What was Caroline thinking that caused all this?
Norma stood quietly on the stage, thinking silently.
Caroline Martin, this new star who has been suppressed from the pragmatic faction, really has the idea of disloyalty to the Platinum Tower, as Murphy said?
When Norma was quiet, her sense of presence suddenly decreased, while Caroline was still watching her, and the light fell on her, as if she was a lonely actor standing on a stage alone.
An inexplicable feeling gradually rose in Caroline's heart.
"Your Excellency Martin." A voice came from behind, and Caroline turned around and subconsciously smiled.
Such discussions did not last long.The plan has already been decided. Whether it is joint development or each country develops it on its own according to Norma's drawings, there is actually not much hesitation. What's more, Caroline said in a leisurely state: "Develop each other? I Remember that some nodes are no-man's land?"
Of course, more important and more detailed things still need a long seesaw, but now that the general direction has been set, the process of promotion can be greatly accelerated.
In the second half of this meeting, there was almost no room for conservatives to play.Instead, Caroline lashed out at Fang Qiu on stage.
"This damn bitch..." Murphy gritted his teeth in Norma's ear, "Look at her appearance. How much benefit has she received to make us fall into such a passive situation."
Norma didn't speak, she kept looking at Caroline.Caroline speaks with a rhythm, firmly controls the progress, and treats everyone with courtesy and generosity, making people feel like a spring breeze.But Norma was keenly aware that Caroline seemed to have been in control of the meeting, and she seemed to have another purpose.
When Murphy whispered into Norma's ear again, Norma couldn't help frowning: "Shut up, Murphy."
Murphy closed his mouth angrily, and cast all his hatred eyes on Caroline.
"Since the positions of each node have been determined, in order to ensure the fairness and justice of the progress. Since the Platinum Tower has the right of ownership, then the Platinum Tower should also supervise the progress of it at any time." Caroline finally spoke.
Although other people had a very good impression of Caroline, it was a matter of profit, and of course everything else could be thrown away.Everyone glanced at each other, but didn't speak.Caroline was not in a hurry, and looked at the others leisurely.Finally someone coughed and said, "About this question..."
"The construction of the pipeline is not a matter of one node, which requires joint debugging and testing, which can only be done by all nodes. And this also requires the creator to monitor at any time, so that it is possible to find tiny mistakes." Caroline said with a smile , she turned to look at Norma, "Master Hill, am I right?"
This is the first time that Caroline called Norma so formally.Norma stood up and looked at the others: "I am the creator of the theory and drawings of the pipeline, no one knows the element pipeline better than me."
Everyone fell silent. At this time, someone wanted to speak, but the sharp dwarf voice sounded: "In this case, the inspection of the node should also be carried out by the great magister Norma Hill."
This time, there was not even a sound in the conference room.The facial expressions of the people, hidden between the flickering lights, looked distorted and weird.The centaur looked at the dwarf, asking with his eyes if she was crazy.The dwarf smiled and moved his mouth.The centaur recognized the words from it.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. My old friend."
Things seemed so settled.Norma had no objection, but Murphy kept angrily cursing and cursing.Finally, Norma waved her hand, and invisible hands pinched Murphy's collar and led him out.
The dwarf watched this scene quietly, and after a while, she turned her head and said to Irene beside her: "How unfair, you see, whether it's you or me, if you use a little magic here, you will be restricted. And they, You can use it however you want."
Eileen just rolled her eyes: "You can sleep in your own bed if you want to go back to your own home."
Then the dwarf smiled, and said no more.She looked to the other side, and Caroline was smiling at the others, agreeing to many banquet invitations.The dwarf let out an ugly laugh: "It seems that tonight is also an unforgettable night." When she looked up again, she saw the expression of the centaur who couldn't describe it.
The dwarf shrugged. "What are you thinking? My old friend?"
The centaur frowned, and after a while, asked in a low voice: "You are the legendary guest of Caroline Martin, right?" At this point, the centaur felt that it was difficult to accept, " I think you should take a good look at your height, look at your fingers..."
"Enough!" The dwarf interrupted his old friend in time, and pressed his temple, feeling the throbbing pain.She has a headache, really: "I sometimes suspect that time may stop on you."
"Huh?" The centaur raised an eyebrow.
Yes, the pure stupidity of the centaur seems to have continued from the past to the present.The dwarf was silent for a long time, and finally thought about it: "Forget it, it's not a bad thing."
It is precisely because nothing bad happened to me that my heart has always been kind.
"What happened today?" Someone asked in a low voice.He looked at the front of the meeting room. Of course, the seats are particular, and the people in front are almost all bigwigs from various camps and countries.As for the people behind, like this speaker, they are usually the thugs who are in charge of getting ahead, or the followers who raise their hands.
