Chapter 381: The Man Who Bears the Blame
The boss explained that the matter was blown like this.,Obviously when I reported the progress of the work before, I swore that there was a lot of hope.,The result is over soon.,The information of the last report.,Just sent it over.,It's only been a long time.,It's said that something went wrong.,Even if it's an irresistible mistake.,There won't be any danger to life.,But the title of lack of ability will definitely fall on their heads.,It's impossible to be reused in the future.。
In the end, they discussed how to minimize the impact of this matter, and the envoys who reduced the impact on their side all had a big circle.
Consult...... How to discuss!
"Or, as Achill said, some unknown witch took it away? After all, only witches have such abilities, and the witch really wants to hide her identity, obviously not for us to find out. A messenger said after a long time, they also had no choice, what else could they do but solve the problem in this way?
There is no suitable scapegoat, some people they know, even some extremely vicious people can't do it, if they want to get rid of that elemental crystal, a lot of sacrifice is indispensable, uh, it's not something that ordinary people can solve at all, how to find the backer? Make one?
Hell, are the high-ranking people of the empire stupid, and they won't go to check if they make up a family? After finding out that there is no such person at all, they are still the unlucky, and they will be added to the crime of bullying the king...... What didn't have to be done turned out to be certain death.
Therefore, it is necessary to think of a plan in advance that can solve this matter smoothly, ordinary people can't use it to carry the pot, the witch's words must be no problem, but there are also their scruples about doing so, first of all, the witch they can't afford to provoke, if this matter is not leaked, there is a great possibility to pass it safely, but once it is leaked, the witch who is behind the pot knows that they threw the pot, even if there is no possibility of justification, but it can also quietly kill them in a certain time.
"Let's test Achill's attitude. The other messenger said that they had a better target for dumping, and that was the Templar Church, after all, things were not only under their eyelids, but also under the noses of the Templars.
Dumping the pot directly at the Templar Church, the report is that the people of the Templar Church are not good at guarding, and there are many reasons to push the blame cleanly, but the problem is that they ...... Don't dare!
If it is a pot they are willing to carry, the Templar Church will not have anything to do with you, but there will be some rewards, but if this kind of unprovoked pot that even intends to sacrifice most of the people for their own interests dares to throw it to the Templar Church, the consequences will be very serious, although it will not be killed by the Templar Church in the end, but the empire will cooperate with the 'work' of the Templar Church.
It's not a big deal to have them kill them, and it's not a big deal to make them miserable.
Therefore...... It's better to throw the pot to the witch, at least the secrecy work is done well, they don't necessarily have anything to do, of course, this witch who needs to take the pot must also choose well, otherwise just pull it casually, then it is still a fool to treat the top of the empire as a stupid X.
"So be it, we don't have much of a choice. In the end, all the attendants agreed to this plan, even if they knew that the people of the Templar Church were lying to say that this matter was done by a witch, and there was no more choice, they could only follow this line of thought, as for the righteous and awe-inspiring rebuke of the hypocrisy of the Templar Church, and at the same time say that they were not doing well?
Thinking too much...... At that time, the saying was 'maybe', not certain, and then it was unfavorable...... Such an important thing has been messed up, hehe!
For the temptation of the envoy group, Achill didn't say much to send these people away, and the words left were also slightly vague You can look at it yourself, the result of their 'investigation' here is that it has something to do with the witch, and the church does not interfere in the affairs of the state, so don't bother him about this matter, although it is not much, but this is almost enough.
This is also Achill's purpose, just ignore it, those in power will definitely think too much, and look for trouble behind their backs, and even let the people of the church strengthen the investigation in this area can be cheeky to say it, anyway, it is something beneficial to themselves, why can't they be cheeky to say it?
Can't be cheeky, what kind of person in power?, so just direct their attention, this matter has something to do with the witch, and Achill didn't say it without grounds, after all, it is impossible for ordinary people to get rid of that elemental crystal under insufficient preparation, too much preparation, when the Templar Church is blind?
So there is such a possibility for a witch with abundant means, of course, things are not absolute, this is just a speculation, which witch is it...... He is not a god, and the residual magical aura at the scene has long been destroyed by the storm generated when the wind fly counterattacked, and there is no trace of tracking at all.
As for the Empire, after learning about it, it had something to do with the witch, and asked the Templar to do it...... It's about witches, yes, but since you've lost something, and the church isn't an organization that does free work for people, you have to pay something, right?
Money? oh...... After all, the church's daily expenses are also needed, since it is to help you, they have their own rules, and they will not open their mouths, but you must always be interesting, right? Don't say too much, at least you can't make ends meet, right?
After that, there are people, and the Templar Church has to do a lot of things every day, and it is very troublesome for those cults that are born again and again in the spring breeze alone, think about it, without our efforts, how can the cult forces in the empire be so peaceful? There are too many people who have been sucked away, maybe they will run rampant, even if there will not be too much loss, it will be troublesome to accidentally destroy a few small towns and be sacrificed by the cultists, and even more powerful evil gods will be brought out.
In order to avoid such a situation, you also have to do something, right? With the influence of the Demon Soldier Summoning Book, the rules of war have changed, and at present, they are all in various new plans, and no one dares to act rashly, in case of a real fight, the maker will patch it, maybe the opponent will seize the opportunity, and thus lose a mess.
Therefore, since there will not be any large-scale war in the near future, it is natural that there are so many people, and they are idle anyway, so it is better to mobilize and find the things that 'their own' has lost, how normal is it?
The reason why that elemental crystal is precious is that it is in size and integrity, and if you smash it and bring it back, it will be a tyrannical thing.
Oh, let's start looking for it officially, set a goal first, since the matter of Wind Singing Valley was made by the undead witch, then that elemental crystal is likely to be something that the undead witch has already calculated, and it is natural for her to be touched by her under everyone's gaze, since this is the case, start with her first......
Oh, that's just right, the Templar Church has been dealing with the undead witch matter recently, and you have also lost something, just a strong combination, of course, the matter of giving people and money will not be discounted because of this.
After the idea of the envoy group was led crooked by Achill, the empire began to enter the game, of course, it doesn't matter if he doesn't enter the game, Achill feels that the empire doesn't bother him is also a kind of purity, since he wants to be annoying, then be prepared to pay something first, and his calculation is not false.
After all, it's really possible that the undead witch took things away.
The emissaries who received Achill's reply were completely relieved, and although he was a little vague, one thing was clear, and the Templar Church acquiesced in your choice of the backer.
"It's just...... Who are you looking for?" The envoys, not long after the end of a meeting, gathered again and began a new meeting, this time to discuss the search for the backer.
"I think the Cursed Witch is a good fit. One of the messengers thought for a moment and said, "The witch hunt time has not long passed, and the undead witch has lost a considerable amount of power at that time, and those powers are said to be difficult to recover, so she may look for something special to restore her strength......"
Elemental power is a kind of nourishment for cultivating magic power, so there is the possibility of transformation in this, and if it is a witch whose strength has not recovered in order to recover her strength, she will take this thing away, which is a very good reason.
"It's not very suitable, since her strength has not recovered, then how can she get rid of this elemental crystal?" the other messenger vetoed, picking out the loophole in his words: "I think it's best to be an immortal witch, the anomaly in Wind Valley's is what she made, she can't even know about the things here, and maybe even she used the anomaly to attract attention, and specially controlled those wind flies to 'make' that elemental crystal, intending to steal the empire's property in this way!" What's even more heart-wrenching is that she also succeeded, making the empire bear a great loss! Even a witch is unforgivable!"
The other envoys looked at the envoy in a somewhat shocked tone, and then nodded together in agreement and replied: "That's right! The undead witch didn't know how much preparation we had made before us, and it was all premeditated to take the elemental crystal here away, but fortunately we analyzed this, otherwise the undead witch would have completely hidden the world!"
Now that you have found the right person who can take the blame for the situation, of course, you will find a way to deceive yourself first...... Fortunately, everyone present was professional.
