Platinum Throne

The sun is warm and warm. It is the end of June, and the sun has brought the scorching heat of summer.But during such a period of time, the moist air in the forest and the not high enough ground temperature all endow the most suitable temperature at this moment, making people feel comfortable.

When Norma entered the room, she was greeted by such a brilliant golden sun.The Holy Empire believes in the goddess of light, so the room decorations are mostly white and gold.At this moment, under the influence of sunlight, the whole room revealed a golden glow, and even the people talking inside seemed to be silhouettes in light colors, full of the weight of time.

The lively conversation in the room paused for a moment when Norma walked in.Afterwards, a middle-aged gentleman straightened his clothes, stepped forward, and saluted Norma: "Welcome, Grand Magister Hill. I am Senator Walcott Cage. This is our first meeting, I just came here the night before."

Norma didn't care about the information revealed in the other party's words, she just nodded casually: "Then the purpose of this meeting..."

Before Walcott could speak, a young man wearing a crimson and black priest's robe walked out behind him.He grabbed the priest hat on his head, put it on his chest, and bowed to Norma: "May the Goddess of Light bless you, Grand Magister Hill. I am Nibel Wilson, the chief priest from St. Lena Church of the Holy Empire." .”

Walcott was so preempted, his face suddenly became ugly.Nevertheless, the senator did not refute Wilson.Wilson smiled. He had light blond hair and ice blue eyes the color of the winter sky.

Norma looked at the young man in front of her curiously.

It is said that this kind of appearance is the favorite appearance of the goddess, and this powerful deity who can be the absolute dominator among the thirteen pillar gods always has a special preference for people with this appearance.It can be seen from the fact that he became the priest of the church at a young age.

"The purpose of this meeting is to discuss various matters related to the element pipeline. We hope to start the pipeline construction work as soon as possible, and we can guarantee the maximum convenience for your needs." Wilson said, he glanced at Wall Kurt, "This is a joint decision of His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Pope."

Norma hummed.

A group of people started to make their way to the conference table.One of the attendees rang a rattle on a table, and young maids in long black dresses and white aprons entered.With friendly and soft smiles and brisk steps, they made up drinks and some snacks for everyone.

The flavors of mellow coffee and black tea blend together.Coffee is a specialty from the Southern Continent. Merchants crossed the dangerous forest, where goblins gathered, and finally came to the place where the dark elves were, and exchanged it with beautiful silk and ceramics from the Central Continent.It can be said that every sip is drinking gold.

Norma is no stranger to the bitter drink.It can mobilize the sleepy mind very well.Like elf-grown tea, this is a favorite drink of many spellcasters, refreshing without too many side effects.

"Tea? Coffee? Or fruit juice?" The maid asked Norma politely, her eyes also showed a little curiosity about this well-known spell operator.

"...Coffee, thank you." Norma chose a more expensive drink. This place is close to the land of elves, and tea is relatively cheap, but considering that she doesn't like elves very much, Norma decisively chose another option, " Please add a spoonful of cream and 5 spoonfuls of sugar."

This overly sweet choice made others look sideways.Norma, on the other hand, sat firmly in her seat, picked up the meeting summary that had been placed on it, and kept her eyes fixed.

Soon, the drink Norma wanted was served.And now the meeting has already started.

"Do you have any comments on our request?"

"It's impossible for all the mages to assist me to use people from the Holy Empire. It's impossible for me to hand over the structure diagram of the magic center. I think you might as well change to a more realistic request."

Norma's unhurried voice sounded, she didn't care too much about this level of pulling, she just needed to know the conditions that she could relax, and then there was a long bargain.Therefore, she was still in the mood to draw casually on the desktop, thinking about some of the problems she encountered today.

"Grand Magister Hill, I hope we don't need to remind you again and again that you are now in the territory of the Holy Empire, and all your actions need the permission and approval of the Empire."

Wilson said.

Norma finally raised her head. She looked at the smug smile on this young man's face. He was also blond and ambitious, but it made people feel bored and bored.

Norma's face darkened.

At this moment, the air seemed to tremble, and immediately after, the illusory air suddenly became heavy.Everyone felt that there was something heavy on their shoulders.And the high priest named Wilson wailed even more and sat down on the ground. Even so, his back bent down in embarrassment, and he still wanted to keep bending down.

"Goddess bless... NUBET" Wilson clenched the goddess statue on his chest.The golden light on his body shone, resisting the coercion from Norma for him.Wilson gasped, his sweat dripping down and soaking his clothes, making him look miserable.

Wilson looked up at Norma.

Norma was expressionless. She raised the coffee and took a small sip, feeling the sweetness in it soothing her not-so-good mood and bringing peace of dopamine.

Norma glanced at Wilson and paused for a moment at the statue of the Goddess he was holding tightly.

The beauty of the goddess does not seem to be very good.

Norma thought about it, and then said: "The construction of the element pipeline is beneficial to all creatures. Whether they are human or not, no matter where they are. Once the pipeline construction is successful, their future will be determined by themselves."

Norma said, looking at everyone in front of her, watching Walcott's eyes flicker.Norma paused for a moment, then said, "I can understand your concerns, so I have another option."

After seeing the excited expressions of other people, Norma was a little careless.She may not know much about human emotions, but she always has a deep understanding of interests and rules.

When you want to accomplish something, you make an impossible request, and then make a relatively acceptable request.In this way, this relatively acceptable requirement becomes reasonable and more acceptable.

Sometimes reason does not convince people, and neither does reason.Humans have always been strange creatures.

The successful construction of the pipeline will benefit all practitioners, and the prosperity of the kingdom on the ground will not be affected by the gods in the sky.This principle is beautiful and attractive.

But also too dreamy and fragile.Anyway, it won't be worse than it is now.The current situation can be tolerated by everyone, and better things are of course better, and the present is not too difficult.

What's more, righteousness is too beautiful, what does it have to do with the current self?

But the interests are different, and the interests are closely related to everyone.

The real benefit is what everyone wants.

There was no fluctuation in Norma's heart. She didn't dislike this kind of profit-seeking, but was indifferent.She put her fingers together and put them on the table: "In the first year, I need the operators of the Platinum Tower. They can understand my intentions very quickly and have a certain degree of creativity."

"In the first year, you can send mages to join as assistant mages, and then we will gradually replace the magic operators of the Platinum Tower in three years. To ensure the stability of the magic circle to the maximum extent, and the operation of the country Reasonable."

The others looked at each other, and there was no voice of objection.

"I object!" Wilson finally said loudly.

Walcott frowned immediately, and said in a deep voice, "Priest Wilson, I think we can discuss this issue in private."

"What are you discussing?" Wilson sneered, "We have to ensure that our law operators intervene at the beginning. Otherwise, we don't know what they buried inside!"

"As far as I know..." Norma took another sip of her coffee. This argument gave her a headache, was boring and not constructive.She felt like she needed the double boost of fat and sugar to keep her calm.

"The Holy Empire is a monotheistic country with more priests than practitioners." Norma said, "This means that the construction of the elemental pipeline has nothing to do with you priests who believe in gods. As a symbol of the country's prosperity, One, the number of law operators is only linked to the country on the ground, not the gods."

"I don't know what is the basis of your objection?"

When Norma's words fell, the meeting room was already quiet, as if a silence spell had been cast on it.

It was eerily quiet.
