Chapter 250

"I shouldn't have given up the duke title and territory at the beginning." Anxi Wodas said very regretfully.

Ren nodded.

If the teacher has a dukedom, even if he doesn't need to seriously manage it, he entrusts a general manager to help him manage it. Given the size of the dukedom, the tax revenue alone will be at least two to three million gold shields every year, and he will never fall into such an embarrassing situation.

"Teacher, why doesn't the Supreme Council allow you to regain the territory?" Ren asked.

Like the vast majority of people in the empire, he only knows the authority and members of the Supreme Council, but he doesn't know much about the situation inside the council.

"It's all a battle of wills."

Anxi Wodas shook his head helplessly, and said: "For us holy souls, rights are not that important, and we will not really fight to the death, but as the leaders of our factions, the interests of countless people are behind us, Had to fight."

"The only principle of the Supreme Council is to maintain the survival of the empire."

"Under the premise of not violating this principle, they are happy to watch my jokes. Especially the old guy Ogulev, who has been my deadly enemy since the rise of Wedzeland."

"As for Tim Kennan, he's an idiot."

"Sometimes he supports me, and sometimes he stands by Ogulevi's side. His theory of balance is also supported by a few neutral holy souls. Many things are disrupted by him."

When Anse Wodos mentioned the Supreme Council, his face became very ugly.

"Wezeland owes debts to the Imperial Bank. They have known about it for a long time, and reached an agreement in private to prevent me from getting the territory to collect taxes and pay off debts."

"Over the years, they have used the debt issue to make me compromise on some issues."

Ren suddenly realized.

The debt of the Floating Void City is the teacher's handle. As long as he grasps it, the teacher's right to speak in the Supreme Council will be weakened. He is very passive and has tried repeatedly.

With such a handy handle, the other two giants will definitely not let it go.

"But this time the situation is a little different..." Anse Wodos suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, his eyes were full of worry, and he seemed unwilling to talk more.

Ren asked with concern: "Teacher, what's the matter?"

Anse Wodos hesitated, as if he was thinking about something, he looked at Ren, and finally said: "Ren, how much do you know about Iola's core?"

"I don't really understand." Ren replied truthfully.

The Core of Iola is the greatest magical creation in the world. It was invented by Master Ogulev. It is rumored that with the help of the goddess of magic, the first Core of Iola in the world was created.

Anse Wodos said slowly: "For more than two thousand years, the manufacturing method of Iola's core has been in the hands of the Supreme Council, and wizards below the holy soul are not eligible to be taught. And the manufacturing method alone is not enough, except for the first Except for one, the later Iola cores need to be activated by the energy of other Iola cores before they can be used."

"To activate other Iola cores..."

Ren murmured a few times, then suddenly raised his head to look at Anxi Wo Daosi, his face was full of uncontrollable shock, and he lost his voice: "Teacher!"

Because he didn't know the inside story, he had never thought about this problem before.

Who made the core of Iola in the floating city of Naxus? Moreover, it has been activated to provide energy for Naxus!

If you think about it one step further, it is inevitable that people will not doubt the Supreme Council.

Anxi Wodas looked very heavy, and said in a low voice: "Although I don't want to believe it, there must be traitors in the Supreme Council."

Ryan couldn't believe it.

The Supreme Council of Kemetis has twelve members in total, each of whom is a holy soul wizard.

It's hard to imagine that there is a holy soul wizard who betrayed human beings, and has something to do with the Sigil of the Dead Knot, the Scourge Legion, or even the Lord of the Dead.

No wonder the teacher lost his composure when he saw the floating city of Naxus that day.

Even a little panic.

It turned out that it was not only because Lu Yin took away the control of the Floating Void City, but also because there were traitors in the Supreme Council.

"Teacher, do you know who it is?" Ren asked quickly.

"I don't know." Anse Wodos shook his head. "This issue was discussed in the parliament, but everyone proved their innocence, and there was no result in the end."

"The three people who may have known about it, Lu Yin and Madera are dead, and Kirsted has also fallen."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to find that traitor."

Ren didn't know what to say, the level of the holy soul wizard was too high, and he couldn't intervene.

But this is undoubtedly a serious event that can shake the entire empire. As long as the traitors are still lurking in the Supreme Council for a day, the empire will be under great threat and may erupt at any time.

The teacher has always looked worried these days, not only worrying about money, but also worrying about the traitor.

The list of twelve holy soul wizards flashed quickly in Ren's mind.

Get rid of the teacher first.

Then there are five holy soul wizards who don't have a floating city.

These five are the Duke of Silver Star, who has the core of Iola but has not activated it; the founder of the combat school, Master Oroin; *Huo Huai, he is the only holy soul wizard with a thousand spells; and the youngest and most low-key holy soul wizard so far, the black robe Duke Tuzlei Slin, he has only one wizard tower.

The remaining six holy soul wizards all have their own floating cities:

The first wizard, the initiator of the Supreme Council, Master Ogulevi, his Nether floating city is resident in the capital Northriel;

Lord of the Floating City of Flanaiss, Tim Kenan, Duke of Greyhawk, located in the northwest city of Longpis;

Created the floating city of Pallas on the northern prairie, known as the first genius in human history, the Duke of Redstone who created the "psychic" branch, Kelstone Calcer;

The greatest alchemist in the empire, the great sage Congerald who invented the soul stone, his Ain floating city is located in Sunset City in the northeast of the empire;

Storm Queen "Xingbu", the ruler of the Empire's vassal Hohaven Principality, and the master of Agralong Floating City;

Magna Elan, the Duke of Purple Flame in Isrek City, her floating city of Tiris has never been opened to the public.

Each of these holy soul wizards is famous in the empire.

Even outside the empire, even on other planes, their names can be heard in the mouths of many alien races, and they are legendary great spellcasters.

However, it is precisely these six holy soul wizards who are most suspected, and only theirs can activate the brand new Iola core.

After thinking about it, Rainn couldn't guess who betrayed the Supreme Council.

"Don't make wild guesses." Seeing Ren's expression, Anxi Wodas reminded: "The matter is important, and I will only tell you, don't tell anyone."

"I understand, teacher." Ren nodded in understanding.

Both fell silent.

Ren saw that the teacher was still preoccupied, and was about to get up to leave, but he heard him ask: "The Mechanical Union took the initiative to borrow money this time, and offered such good terms. Is it asking for something from you?"

"Yes." Ren just took the opportunity to say: "The Mechanics Union wants to buy the manufacturing technology of Rambo's Gun."

"Rambo's gun?" Anse Wodalston suddenly became interested.

He was fighting in the sky that day, and naturally he also saw the scene of the machine gun showing its power. It's just that he has been so busy these days, with internal and external troubles, that he hasn't had time to ask.

Wren immediately pulled a machine gun from the ring.

He needs the teacher to provide protection for himself to prevent the machine gun from falling into the hands of others. He must first confess to the teacher, so he cannot hide it.

Anse Woldas took the Rambo gun and held it in his hand to observe.

The machine gun weighed more than two hundred pounds, and it was a little difficult for wizards who were not good at melee combat to hold it, but for Holy Soul wizards, it was still as light as nothing.

He looked back and forth several times, and quickly figured out how to fire.

"It's interesting." The holy soul wizard fiddled with it a few times, and with a click, he pulled the bolt. Seeing the cooling rune on the barrel, his face was a little puzzled: "The principle should be similar to the soul gun. How could there be such a ferocious gun?" power?"

"Teacher, you can try your hand." Ren put an ammunition belt on the machine gun and said with a smile.

"good."

Anse Verdos pointed the muzzle of his gun at the wall and pulled the trigger.

da da da da...

The gun flames burst out, and there was a violent and intensive roar in the room.

In just a few seconds, dozens of bullets were fired, and then blocked by an invisible force field, the bullets were suspended in the air.

"Um?"

Anxi Wodusi's eyes lit up, and he immediately noticed the special features of the machine gun, and said in surprise: "This gun doesn't consume any soul power!"

Ren nodded and admitted, "Yes, so my Macragges can use it."

"No wonder..."

Anxi Wodas couldn't help but suddenly let go of his hand, and Rambo's gun flew up and turned the muzzle, aiming at himself.

Before Ryan could speak, the gunshots rang out again.

Da da da... The bullets poured out, hitting Anse Wo Daosi's plastic bag. A layer of flame shield emerged, and the bullet hit it with a bang, and was instantly melted into molten iron by the high temperature on the shield, splashing everywhere.

The gunfire stopped.

Anse Woldas caught Rambo's gun again, took out a bullet from the magazine, and observed it with his fingertips. He guessed that the secret of the machine gun was in the bullet, but he didn't take it apart to see.

"The power is good. The power of each bullet is similar to that of the arcane missile of the second ring. It should be slightly stronger, but its firing frequency is much faster than that of the arcane missile. The range is far and it does not consume soul power. A transcendent below the legendary level, I am afraid that few people can resist it."

"It's incredible!"

He immediately realized the most crucial point, "Can this gun be used by ordinary people?"

"Yes." Ren nodded in response.

"Is it expensive to manufacture?" Anse Verdas continued to ask.

Ren thought about it before replying: "It's not too high. Rambo's gun can be simplified and lightened, and the materials used can be reduced, but the power will not be reduced much. The cost can be reduced to less than five gold shields, and any machine factory can produce it. .”

"so cheap!"

Anse Wodos's expression became serious, he thought for a while, and then said: "Ren, this is a weapon that can change the world situation. If it is leaked, countless people may die under the gun, and the consequences are unpredictable."

"I know, so I rejected the mechanics union."

Ren stood up very solemnly and said, "Teacher, I hope to declare that the machine gun is your invention, so as to block those who covet the machine gun."

"Yes, but you have to protect yourself so that no one can touch it." Anxi Wodas readily agreed.

While speaking, he put the bullet in his hand back into the magazine, and returned the machine gun to Ren.

Ren put away Rambo's gun, and one thing on his mind finally fell to the ground.

Both of them smiled, and a tacit understanding was reached between the master and the apprentice.

Rennes raised money for Floating Void City, and will provide more funds in the future, and Anxi Wodas will serve as a backer to escort Rennes. The two get what they need, and there is not only an exchange of interests, but also a genuine teacher-student friendship. This relationship is strong enough to trust each other.

Return to the castle from the floating city.

Ren immediately sent someone to inform Akalande to find Mrs. Xia Lanwei by himself.

He borrowed 500,000 gold shields at very low interest from Ganglong real estate businessman with ten storefronts in the commercial street as collateral.

Then he took out another 100,000 gold shields and sent them to the floating city in the afternoon.

Anse Wodos borrowed money from the Queen of Storms very smoothly, and Wezeland got together the 8.5 million gold shields he needed in just half a day.

After the money arrived, people's hearts immediately settled down.

Time can make people forget the pain and heal the grief. The Floating Void City quickly restored its former prosperity, and the people who passed away were gradually forgotten, as if they had never lived.

It is also rare for Ren to enter a peaceful and fulfilling life.
