Chapter 535: CLXIV. Can we reconcile?
The creation of the Aran Court Mage has once again been wrecked by the Eastern Sea Dog Pirates.
Rein, in a fit of self-mutilation, used his claws to extract the data monitoring device buried under his skin. Damn Pedan scoundrel, he definitely watched him for a long while just now.
Outside Black Rock City.
Huitt’s monitoring devices all went black, but it didn’t matter. The necessary data had been fully collected.
"Teacher, are we really in the clear? The Brutal Punishment is still on him."
The male assistant asked with some trepidation. He didn’t want Rein to suddenly appear and tear him to pieces while conducting the Frenzied Minstrel.
"I have my own considerations. In the Elder Council, the number of my supporters is dwindling. The Atomic Heart Church has recently become quite favored by the elders, which is unacceptable. I’ve heard some whispers that the Atomic Heart Church has close ties with the Eastern Sea. If we report our findings and then use Fen as a pretext to make trouble, we can use the excuse of recovering the Brutal Punishment to get the support of the Magic Power Armed Department and overshadow the Atomic Heart Church. Then we can go to the Eastern Sea to reap some benefits. This way, we can secure more funding and increase our weight in the Royal Court. No one... is willing to support a bunch of freeloading parasites, but parasites must exist, and we must become the strongest parasites to erode the Elder Council’s power. Next year is the quadrennial elder election, and I am determined to win."
Huitt ordered everyone to check the data once more and pack up the equipment. It was time to head back to their country.
"The teacher is indeed brilliant."
The male assistant beamed with joy. If the teacher became an elder, it would not just be Minstrels they could handle; noble ladies would be fair game too.
At this moment.
