Chapter 20 Visit of the Emissary Delegation
Another few days passed.
After Joss severely criticized Charles at the last meeting, the depressed Charles went to gray and asked, "Gray, am I really too cowardly?"
"Charles, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
Gray asked calmly.
"The truth."
"The truth... is... you're indeed cowardly, especially after the appearance of the magic phone. You are no longer like the previous Charles. You are always worried about gains and losses."
Gray hit the nail on the head as he said, "I know you don't want to experience the days when you were in dire straits, but you have to understand that all of this was brought about by Joss. Even if something unexpected happens, the days of the twin mage towers will not be worse than before."
Gray's persuasion was very effective.
Charles was not a pedantic person. He quickly realized this.
"Charles, recently, Scorpion, Archer, and the Libra Mage Towers have sent a batch of envoys over. You will be responsible for arranging this batch of envoys."
Gray said and added, "This is Joss' idea."
Charles was instantly delighted.
"I understand!"
After saying that, he left directly.
...
Scorpio Mage Tower.
Tucker's expression was very ugly. Beside him, Rhode and Envis did not look too good either.
"Damn it, what exactly is that magic pattern!" Tucker cursed.
The dismantling work went smoothly. In just a day, they had copied all kinds of components, but when they assembled them, they were just useless stones, not to mention communicating with each other.
The problem was the magic pattern.
After a few days of research, the three of them finally confirmed that the magic pattern on the magic communication phone was not a simple thing. Just as principal Sandel said, that pattern was so perfect and shocking, it was as if it came from another world.
Due to this, the three of them had no choice but to give up on cracking the plan.
In the end, they could only learn from others.
"Tucker, do you think those people sent out will be able to learn the real secret of the magic phone?"
Rhode pretended to be worried and asked.
Tucker glanced at him and exposed him mercilessly. "Rhode, I'm telling you, I gave those people a recording pearl. Don't tell me you didn't prepare anything. I will turn hostile!"
Rhode laughed dryly. "Likewise."
Envis echoed, "Likewise"
"I just don't know if Joss will agree to join the four towers alliance again. After all, we directly ignored the twin towers during the four towers meeting."
Envis pointed out the difficulty of the matter.
This time, it was in the name of inviting the twin towers to join the four towers alliance again.
As for the previous meeting, as long as they went to investigate, they would not be able to hide it.
After Envis finished speaking, the three of them sighed together again. In the end, they felt that their previous actions were a little hasty.
...
The Twin Mage Towers.
Hearing from Gray that Joss still had expectations for him, Charles was in a very good mood.
However, after seeing those envoys, his face suddenly pulled down.
This was a bullsh*t emissary!
It was clearly an alchemist in disguise.
Just thinking about it, Charles understood what these people wanted to do. He could not help but remember what Joss said at the last meeting that others could not copy.
Charles, why are you so talkative?
Charles cursed himself in his heart and turned his head, he smiled at the group of emissaries and said, "Everyone came from afar and should have received you warmly. However, Sir Joss is practicing and it is not convenient to receive you. We can only let you wait for a few more days."
"No problem."
Among these special envoys, there were still true envoys arranged. They were the core of each wizard tower and were in charge of talking.
A few days passed while they waited.
Finally, someone in the envoy group could not hold it in any longer and come to Charles with his own request. "Charles, how long does Joss need to practice?"
"I'm not sure how long Joss needs to practice."
Charles gave a perfunctory reply.
However, he really did not know.
After all, after breaking through and becoming a Grand Magus, not only would there be big changes in the magic circuits that were constructed by oneself, but there would also be changes in the way spells were used. It was not something that could be familiarized with in a short period of time.
After receiving such an answer, the members of the emissary delegation were somewhat dissatisfied.
However, this was the territory of the twin mage towers after all. Moreover, they had come with a special purpose this time. They were already feeling guilty, so it was impossible for them to directly fall out with each other.
Therefore, the emissary delegation could only retreat in order to advance.
"Charles, we heard that the Twin Mage Towers' magic phones are the most popular products in the Hopeland Continent. I wonder if we can visit your factory?"
"Sure!" Charles said with a smile.
This group of people had finally revealed their real intention.
However, Charles did not refuse.
If it was in the past, he would definitely do his best to stop them. But now, he understood that in the face of true power and wisdom, all conspiracies and tricks were just tricks that made people laugh.
The next line completely shocked these envoys.
What Charles heard the most during this period of time was:
"My god, there is actually such a magical production method. Everyone produces according to the same standard..."
"How is this possible? It only takes a few minutes to assemble a phone."
"..."
The envoys were shocked, but they did not forget their mission.
However, although they secretly recorded the production process with the recording pearl, they did not find the most crucial magic runes.
There were magic runes in the finished product...
They could not figure it out, but they could not make a request again. It would be too obvious.
However, they did not know that they had been exposed.
On the nineteenth floor of the twin towers, Joss was refreshed. As soon as he walked out of the training room, he heard his personal maid, Vera, who was also the butler, say with a smile, "Charles, Fran, Joss is still..."
Vera looked back and saw Joss. She quickly changed her words, "Joss has finished his training."
Charles and Fran walked in.
"Charles, Fran, what's the matter?" Joss asked first.
Fran looked at Charles. On the way here, the two had already agreed that Charles would report to them.
"Sir Joss, Scorpion, Libra, and the Sagittarious Tower Masters have sent a delegation of envoys. They said that they hope that our twin towers can join the alliance of the four towers."
"Sh*tty plan, but it's the only decent way for them."
Joss sneered, "What else?"
Charles continued to report, "I've already confirmed that those people have a special purpose. It should be to steal the secrets of our magic phone manufacturing. However, they didn't succeed.
"And..."
Charles took a document from across space, "This is the information of those people. Only one or two of them are normal envoys in charge of negotiations. The others are disguised by some alchemists. Fran and I have confirmed this."
Joss glanced at it and shook his head slightly.
The information about these people was completely dug out by Charles. He almost wrote down what color of underwear they were wearing today.
At this moment, Charles suddenly asked, "Sir, do we need to..."
Charles gestured with his neck.
"No, Charles!"
Joss denied it. Instead, he casually burned the documents, he smiled, and said, "Tomorrow is the New Year. It's also the second launch of the magic phone. How about this, you go and tell them that they must come to the Twin Chamber of Commerce Hall tomorrow to participate in this launch!"
"Yes!"
This time, although Charles was confused, he did not raise any questions.
There must be a deeper meaning behind Joss' action.
He did not understand because he did not dig deep enough!
After accepting the mission, Charles and Fran left Joss' residence on the nineteenth floor of the Twin Towers.
