Chapter 269 Conspiracy

"Did you find that relic?"

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and the black-robed man who had spoken earlier couldn't help but speak again.

"What else? They haven't even picked up all the things left by the ancient magic empire, so how could they have the leisure to study a completely new system."

In the crystal ball, the man called Gray Mist spoke calmly, and his tone seemed to have a little contempt for the Continental Magic Council, which was known as the pinnacle of magic.

"That is the remains of a giant metal city, and it is also the capital of the ancient goblin civilization that is said to have been completely destroyed, the City of Construction - [Talkesha]."

"The Magic Council obtained something similar to the Central Tower Spirit in the central palace of that city, which stores countless construction drawings and materials.

It is precisely because of this that they can suddenly promote a series of construction products to the entire continent almost overnight."

"Using construction as a guide, gradually changing the pattern of the entire Yar continent, and then manipulating the fate. The one sitting on the astrology tower of the floating city is probably trying to take the step of becoming a legend with this!"

"..."

After hearing such a secret suddenly, everyone was shocked and felt a little dizzy, not knowing what to say.

Not surprised by everyone's reaction, the crystal ball flashed slightly, and the figure spoke again.

"According to the feedback from the stars, the development of the web of destiny is about to usher in the second turning point. The first time, the biggest change was in the Itel Kingdom Federation. This time, the main change will appear in the Gloria Empire-"

"The time has come. Has the emergence of the construct caused two voices to appear in the upper echelons of the empire? One advocates acceptance, and the other advocates rejection?"

Hearing this, the four people on the right side of the long table suddenly became agitated.

"You mean, next, the Gloria Empire will also be affected by the construct like the Federation?"

After a period of silence, the third person sitting on the right side of the long table spoke.

"But due to the compromise with the conservatives, the reformists only managed to open up the civilian magic constructs. The combat constructs that can enable professionals to exert their power beyond their level are still strictly controlled in the empire."

"Not to mention those ordinary chambers of commerce, even nobles below the rank of marquis must strictly report to the royal family if they own combat constructs, and they must be regularly tested by prophecy casters to ensure that there is no false reporting of the number.

If they hoard privately, it is a felony and will be treated as treason."

"And now, the mainstream of the upper class of the empire is still conservative. The reformists can only do this far, which is already a limit.

In the next hundred years, the situation of controlled constructs will probably not change, and it will not have any major impact on the situation."

After listening to the gentleman's speech, the figure in the crystal ball nodded.

"You are right, but this will be the trigger for the second change. The upper echelons of the Gloria Empire have been in a stagnant state for too long.

Not to mention the four eternal grand dukes, there have been only two new marquises in the thousands of years since the founding of the empire. This is the result of the death of a marquis and the vacancy.

Besides, I am afraid that this is the reason why you are sitting here now?"

The people on the right side of the long table looked at each other quickly and nodded slightly.

"Mr. Gray Mist, please forgive me for being rude. If we cooperate with you, what benefits can we get?"

The first person on the right side of the long table, a black-robed man wearing a dark golden lion mask, spoke slowly.

"Benefits? Hehehehe..."

A hoarse low laugh came from the crystal ball.

"First of all, if you choose to help us, you are also helping yourselves. After more than two thousand years of sedimentation, the game table of the Gloria Empire is now full of people.

If you still want to participate in this game called power, you must find a way to let the first players leave and make the seats at the table vacant."

"In the past, you had to worry about the prophets of the royal family and high-ranking nobles, the ninth-level extreme strongmen, and the lack of sufficient troops.

Now, we will provide you with support from high-level prophets and ninth-level extreme strongmen, so that you can gain equal countervailing power in this regard.

As for the troops, I think there should be no more powerful troops than the Construct Corps in the regular legion.

And when those nobles at the top are trapped in the quagmire of war, I don't need to say more about what you will do."

"Besides, when the mission is completed, our people will leave. And the remaining territories, minerals, and population are all yours!

The empire is your empire after all, isn't it?"

At the end, the figure in the crystal ball deliberately emphasized the word "your".

As he finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence again.

After a moment, the man wearing a dark golden lion mask at the first seat on the right side of the long table spoke again.

"So, how do we cooperate?"

The crystal ball flickered slightly, and the blurred figure spoke calmly.

"Don't worry, when you return to the empire, someone will communicate with you and tell you the next steps."

As he spoke, the figure in the crystal ball turned his gaze to the three black-robed men sitting on the left side of the long table.

"Then, it's the three gentlemen of the Federation. I think you should all know what happened recently in the Kingdom of Leica, right?"

"Are you the ones behind the Sixth Prince?"

The black-robed man at the first seat on the left side suddenly spoke in surprise.

Faced with everyone's questions, the figure just smiled, neither admitting nor denying.

"It doesn't matter who is behind Prince Leka VI. What matters is the power of the Construct Corps he showed in the war."

"Do you want to..."

"Boom boom!"

Before the crystal ball finished speaking, the ground above suddenly erupted with a huge tremor.

The next moment, the thick stratum tore open an irregular huge crack like a piece of paper, and a ray of white sunlight projected from the gap, reflecting on the people who were caught off guard.

Because the integrity of the secret room was destroyed, the light gray mist rolling on the wall dissipated immediately.

Snap——

Realizing that something was wrong, the crystal ball on the main seat of the long table exploded directly. At the same time, gray magic flames ignited on all the fragments, quickly decomposing themselves into breathless powder.

But before these fragments were completely annihilated, a figure with a silver tower-shaped emblem on his shoulder condensed and fixed the remaining fragments together with the gray fire.

"!"

Instantly, the seven black-robed men in the room reacted and simultaneously launched their strongest attack on the figure, and each used space magic to prepare to escape.

But all the space fluctuations only lasted for a moment before calming down again.

With Villa No. 26 as the center, a temporary ultra-high intensity blockade has been set up within a radius of ten miles.
