Chapter 782 Borkan's Speculation
Minos Floating City

"Lord Li Si, I've been waiting for you for ages."

Borkan looked at Li Si, a slight smile appearing on his hard face.

"If it's alright, I'd like to invite you to visit the Tower of Ashes."

In response to Bolkan's invitation, Li Si nodded and said:
"No problem, Your Excellency Borkan."

Li Si was also somewhat curious about Bolkan.

When Professor Stephens talked to him about the Pancontinental Mage Association, he did not mention Borkan.

Learning about Borkan from others made Li Si quite interested in him.

He had not been in the floating city of Minos for long, but Borkan appeared directly in front of Li Si.

This shows that he had been keeping a close eye on Li Si's movements.

Furthermore, he seemed to have guessed that Li Si would definitely come to the Minos Floating City after joining the association.

Moreover, he only appeared in front of Li Si after Li Si had left the circular tower.

Moreover, as the leader of the Tower of Ashes, Borkan's personal invitation to Li Si to visit the Tower of Ashes already demonstrates his sincerity.

Since the end of that legendary council meeting, no members of parliament or school of thought have come to visit Li Si.

This indicates that the lawmakers are still observing the situation.

Let's see how things unfold after Li Si announces them in the legendary council.

Therefore, Li Si seemed to be neglected for a time.

However, Li Si didn't pay too much attention to it.

He now has enough confidence to develop his own school of thought without caring about the opinions of others.

Or rather, regardless of what others think, he will definitely push forward with unwavering determination.

While everyone else was observing, Bolkan's undisguised invitation to Li Si in front of the circular tower of the Minos floating city clearly demonstrated his attitude.

"Okay, please come with me."

Borkan nodded, turned and led the way, his white robe fluttering behind him like a warrior's cloak.

Is this guy really not a legendary warrior?

Li Si pondered to himself.

However, the dense fire elemental magic surrounding Borkan's body, almost to the point of being tangible, proved his superb mastery of fire magic.

The area in front of the circular tower is the most densely populated area of ​​the Minos floating city.

The news that Borkan had invited Li Si here spread quickly.

However, neither Li Si nor Borkan, who were involved, paid much attention to it.

Following behind Borkan, Li Si arrived at a fiery red magic tower to the east of the Minos Mage Tower.

"This magic tower belongs to us, the Tower of Ashes, and is our most important territory."

Borkan introduced the tower to Li Si and led him directly into the magic tower.

Upon entering the magic tower, Li Si immediately sensed a strong concentration of fire-attribute magical elements permeating the air.

The temperature had risen a few degrees, and there seemed to be a burning smell in the air.

"This magic tower has been controlled by the [Tower of Ashes] for a long time. We will transform this magic tower into a place more suitable for using and researching fire magic."

Borkan explained, and then a magical platform slowly descended from above.

Li Si nodded, understanding what Bolkan meant.

In practice, the two floating cities owned by the Pan-Continental Mage Association are nominally jointly owned by the association.

However, there are indeed other situations.

For example, the magic tower owned by the [Tower of Ember] has undergone specific modifications without affecting the Minos Floating City, making it extremely suitable for the [Tower of Ember]'s current research direction.

Of course, this kind of transformation comes at a considerable cost.

It would be an easy task to empty the savings of several legendary mages.

Having paid such a high price, the Tower of Ashes will naturally not be returned to the association after only a short period of use.

According to Li Si's understanding, similar situations existed in almost every school of thought.

This is the true essence of each school of thought.

The existence of such a floating city, the Tower of Ashes, holds the greatest attraction for mages specializing in fire magic within the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

In this situation, the Tower of Ashes can maintain its influence for a long time.

This is basically the case for every school of thought.

Therefore, the situation that Li Si faced in his previous declaration to the Legendary Council was not as simple as it sounded.

The monks who passed by bowed very respectfully to Borkan and then quickly walked away.

It's clear that they have considerable "respect" for the leader of the [Tower of Ashes].

Leading Li Si to the top floor of the magic tower, the two sat down, and Borkan took out a bottle of fiery red wine and poured it for Li Si.

"This is a spirit I brewed using special methods. Try it."

Li Si picked up the wine cup in front of him. The wine in the cup seemed to have a viscous feel, and even faintly emitted a high temperature, just like flowing magma.

Li Si took a small sip and felt the heat in his mouth, as if a hot current had instantly flowed into his body.

The temperature of this wine had even exceeded 100 degrees Celsius, but for people of Li Si and Borkan's strength, it was no different from lukewarm water.

"I wonder what brings Lord Borkan here?"

"There is something."

Borkan put down his wine cup, smiled, and looked at Li Si, saying:

"I heard you met Oliver from the Myriad Forms Society before, right?"

"really."

Li Si nodded, but Oliver did not hide his whereabouts, so it was normal for others to find out.

"If I'm not mistaken, Oliver probably wants to invite you to join the Myriad Forms Secret Society."

"However, it seems he didn't get what he wanted."

Borkan said with a smile.

"Of course."

Li Si smiled slightly, then asked in return:

"Does Lord Borkan also intend to invite me to join the [Tower of Ashes] today?"

"of course not."

Borkan shook his head and looked at Li Si, saying:

"If you have such thoughts, I would naturally like to invite you to join the Tower of Ashes, even if it means giving you the position of sect leader."

"However, since you refused to become the fourth speaker, you naturally wouldn't be interested in the position of leader of any school of thought."

Oliver was just trying his luck.

"Then what about today?"

Li Si swirled the wine in his glass, feeling that Borkan's fiery wine was indeed quite unique, and decided to order some to bring back for Uncle Joyce later.

"I want to understand, Li Si, why did you establish the 'Source of All Laws'?"

Borkan looked at Li Si and said seriously:

"What you said at the meeting, I think everyone knows, you are right."

"But the Pancontinental Mage Association is just too big!"

"If you want the association to make the changes you envision, Li Si, the difficulties and obstacles you will face are beyond your imagination."

“You might even face opposition from everyone else in the association.” After a pause, Borkan continued:

Even if you succeed in the end, you will have to pay an extremely high price.

"I don't think you, Li Si, would sacrifice so much simply for the future of the association."

"What exactly do you want?"

Faced with Borkan's question, Li Si did not rush to answer. After taking a sip of strong liquor, he calmly said:
"Your Excellency Borkan, why do you ask that?"

"Or rather, why do you think I need to tell you my purpose?"

"Couldn't I be doing these things to win over others and gain control of the entire Pan-Continental Mage Association?"

"With those three chairmen around, the entire Pan-Continental Mage Association will not be in chaos."

Borkan leaned back slightly, his chest muscles bulging.

"I'd like to know, was it Second Speaker Stephens, your teacher, who instructed you to do this?"

After saying that, Borkan stared intently at Li Si's expression, as if trying to discern something.

Ok?
Li Si raised his head, glanced at Borkan, and said with a slight smile:

Why do you ask that?

Li Si was somewhat surprised by Bolkan's question.

However, it can only be said that Borkan guessed half right.

Li Si's establishment of the "Source of All Laws" was indeed at the behest of the Speaker.

However, it wasn't the Second Speaker, Stephens, the "Flame of Judgment," but rather the Third Speaker, Tarindra, the "Astral Weaver."

Borkan, unable to discern anything from Li Si's expression, closed his eyes and said:

“If what you want to do is actually realized, the biggest losers will be our school of thought.”

"It's the same whether it's our three top schools of thought or even those third-rate schools that don't have a single legendary councilor."

"The top schools of thought will lose their previous dominant position and their influence on the association will decline significantly."

"If those minor schools of thought were to completely disclose their lineage, there would be nothing left at all."

"Whether there will even be a school of thought by then is another matter."

"So, Borkan, you don't support the concept of the [Source of All Laws]?"

Li Si asked with a smile.

Faced with Li Si's question, Borkan remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Of course it is."

"Of course, I think all the councilors who heard your announcement that day understood that if your vision could be realized, the entire Pan-Continental Mage Association would undoubtedly become much stronger."

"No one who has reached our current level is a fool."

"But if it's in a situation where you lose your own interests, I think not many people would support you."

“Li Si, with your insight, you should naturally understand this matter, but you still chose to do it.”

"Even declaring your beliefs in such a direct way!"

Borkan looked at Li Si and said in a deep voice:

“I’ve looked into your past experiences and I know you’re not that kind of flamboyant person.”

"Professor Stephens also looks down on people like that."

"Therefore, I think you, Li Si, must be quite confident that you will be able to achieve your goal."

"I think the only people who can give you this kind of confidence are those three chairmen."

"And you are the disciple of the Second Speaker!"

"So, did you establish the 'Source of All Laws' with the instruction of Professor Stephens?"

咄~
Li Si placed the wine cup on the table in front of him, making a soft sound.

He looked at Borkan and asked:
"I'm curious, what would you do if I told you that I was indeed instructed by Professor Stephens?"

Upon hearing this, Borkan did not hesitate at all, took out a fiery red magic book, and placed it on the table in front of the two of them.

With his large hand on the cover, Borkan looked at Li Si and said in a deep voice:
"This spellbook is the most secret and precious legacy of the Tower of Ashes, containing the school's exclusive spells and related extraordinary knowledge accumulated over countless years."

"If Li Si has truly received instruction from Master Stephens, I am willing to directly pass on the legacy of the [Tower of Ashes] to you!"

"And after that, Li Si, the Tower of Ashes will fulfill all your requests."

Li Si glanced at the magic book in front of him and asked with some curiosity:
"Will the others in the Tower of Ashes agree to you doing this?"

"We don't need their consent!"

A cold glint flashed in Borkan's eyes as he said in a low voice:

"If it's Professor Stephens' order, the Tower of Ashes will support it no matter what."

"We gave it to them, that's all. What more do they want to say?"

As he spoke, Li Si felt as if Borkan in front of him had transformed into a ferocious and terrifying monster, radiating an extremely scorching aura.

They're really strong!
"So, after paying such a high price, [Tower of Ashes], or rather, what do you want to gain?"

Li Si was unaffected by the terrifying aura emanating from Borkan and continued to ask questions.

"No need for anything."

Borkan slowly shook his head and then said:

"Professor Stephens had his reasons for doing that."

"His gaze is beyond my reach; I only need to follow Professor Stephens."

"Forehead"

Li Sizhen never expected Bolkan to give such an answer.

To be honest, in Li Si's eyes, Borkan now seems like Stephens' most loyal fanboy.

We unconditionally support any decision Mr. Stephens makes.

This burning passion is unlike that of a legendary mage who needs to remain calm at all times; it's more like that of a reckless, clumsy legendary warrior!

"I understand."

Li Si nodded and said with a smile:

"Unfortunately, this is not Professor Stephens' decision, but just my personal opinion."

"Since you have gathered information about me, you should know that I am also a World Tree Favorite."

"In order to face the threat of those evil god followers and abyss lords in the future, I need to unite more allies."

"This includes the Pan-Continental Mage Association."

There were indeed some considerations behind Li Si's decision not to tell Borkan the truth.

If others truly believed that he was doing this on the instructions of the Second Speaker, Stephens, then the difficulties Lees faced would be much less.

However, that would also fail to meet the requirements of the third speaker.

In addition to changing the association, Li Si needs to revitalize the entire association.

Instead of passively accepting Li Si's changes, which would be pointless.

After receiving Li Si's reply, Borkan did not say anything more.

He put away the fiery red magic book he had just read, and then took out a black and red magic book and handed it to Li Si:

"Since that's the case, I won't say any more."

"Please accept this!"
