Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 486 Huge Compensation

In less than half a day, all the former Holy City's affiliated forces poured into the Holy City, especially with certain individuals taking the lead.

The entire Alps were unusually noisy, with hundreds of major magical forces gathered together, making it a truly diverse and chaotic place.

The streets were under control, with many teams of mages searching every household, and everyone had a cheerful expression on their face.

In the most important core area, the leaders of the various factions were gathered together, looking at the spoils they had plundered from the ground.

Various magical tool sets and cultivation resources were piled up into a small mountain, along with many rare substances, various magical artifacts, and many other resources that could not be taken away.

"Ladies and gentlemen... I want to make something clear in advance: a portion of these resources needs to be set aside for compensation, and the rest is what we can allocate."

Chief Ander spoke in a serious tone, saying that their family had lost a forbidden spell mage, which was a serious blow.

He is only a fully-trained master of the fourth-level super-rank mage. Next, he will break through to become a forbidden spell mage and become the next pillar of the Ander family.

All of this is contingent on preventing that Easterner from settling scores with them, otherwise everything will be over.

Fortunately, the other party released a statement today, saying that as long as the compensation is paid, there will be no further investigation, and the matter will be completely put behind us.

This is undoubtedly very good news!

"Chief Ander, you are the leader chosen by everyone. Everyone here is one of us, so let's do as we agreed."

"That's right, that's right..."

"We need to get out of the immediate crisis first..."

……

Chief Ander nodded seriously, "Alright then, it's settled then."

"Also, you families in charge of the network, find some things for those Holy Shadows to do."

"Exposing their past actions to draw attention away from the conflict; once the Holy City is gone, they have no reason to exist!"

"These people know too much. Their reputations need to be ruined, and their best fate is to die at the hands of their enemies."

When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked; when the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away!

This is a true reflection of reality. They couldn't let word of their looting of the Holy City's resources get out, so the Holy Shadow had to take the blame.

In the eyes of their affiliated forces, those people were nothing more than a knife and a lackey.

Now that its owner is gone, the knife has no reason to exist, so let's make use of its last remaining value.

There are still many loyal followers of the Holy City online and in real life, which provides them with an outlet for their anger.

After all, the angelic mages who symbolized the authority of the Holy City had all sacrificed themselves, but none of the Holy Shadows had died. This was the best excuse.

They could easily be classified as spies and traitors, intending to overthrow the order of the Holy City.

At least in terms of online public opinion, no one can defeat them. Once they define this matter, the outcome will be set in stone!

They resolved the crisis, acquired some of the Holy City's resources, and then quietly retreated into the background, a win-win situation for all.

The leaders of the major European magical forces nodded in agreement; being shrewd and calculating, they naturally understood Ander's meaning.

So everyone quickly sprang into action, extracting the resources that needed to be paid. These resources seemed like a lot, but compared to the Holy City's foundation, they were only a fraction of its total resources.

As for the possibility that the number of Star Sea Celestial Veins may be insufficient, this is not a major problem, as it can be supplemented by exchanges between various entities.

After setting aside the necessary expenses, everyone was filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest, and this time they ate their fill.

Even the psychological pressure from the liquidation crisis has subsided considerably, thanks in part to the House of Arbitration.

If they hadn't started the conflict, none of the subsequent events would have happened, and the Holy City wouldn't have faded into history so quickly.

Just the next day, this group of European magicians secretly traveled to the East.

Songcheng, Moonlit Pavilion!

Wang Teng hosted a group of mysterious guests at his home. Leng Qing sat beside him, acting as his secretary, while the others did not appear.

"Your Excellency Wang Teng, good afternoon!" Chief An De placed his right hand in front of his chest and bowed slightly.

"Hello everyone, I'm so glad you could come so quickly!" Wang Teng said with a smile as he sat on the sofa.

"I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to Your Excellency by the previous persecution of the Holy City's Inquisition." Chief Ander bowed again.

"We have prepared a token of our apology, please take a look."

Chief Ander took off the spatial bracelet he was wearing, placed it on the table, and slowly pushed it forward a little.

Upon seeing this, Leng Qing immediately got up, took a few steps, retrieved the spatial bracelet, examined it, and began to take out the contents inside.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a large pile of packaged Star Sea Celestial Veins was taken out and piled up like a small mountain on the table.

Leng Qing squinted her long, narrow eyes, suppressing her excitement and trembling as she carefully inventoried these items. This was the first time she had ever handled such a large amount of resources!

She quickly finished counting and began to report the quantities in person: "A total of 655 Star Sea Celestial Veins and 6 Earth Cores."

The Star Sea Celestial Vein count includes the number of people attacked by the Court of Judgment, totaling 131 Super-Rank Mages and 6 Forbidden Spell Mages.

"Excellent! My promise stands. This afternoon I will have my assistant release a press release announcing that our matter has been amicably resolved and that this issue is now completely over."

Wang Teng had no intention of breaking his promise, nor would he make things too difficult for the other party.

He originally thought he would only receive compensation from Michael's group, but he didn't expect that this group would also include the group from the House of Judgments.

It seems the other party is very afraid of his purge!

Chief Ander smiled with relief, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his heart: "Thank you very much for your leniency."

"In that case, we won't disturb your lunch break any further!"

Unlike treaties between nations, this is merely a private dispute, where both parties only need to be satisfied.

Wang Teng said that releasing the news was to give them peace of mind and a guarantee of justice, and this was purely based on his reputation.

In a world where immense power resides in one person, there is virtually nothing that can restrain the strong; the only thing they can offer is their reputation.

This kind of thing is forced acceptance; if they don't accept it, there's nothing they can do.

However, when faced with greater interests, strong individuals generally pay close attention to their personal reputation, otherwise, a poor reputation can lead to more trouble.

Even the Dark King Wentai abides by the rules he set for the game, at least on the surface, even though those rules are already quite outrageous.

Once the Hall of Heroes steps onto the world stage, it will inevitably be thoroughly studied by various official forces, and it wouldn't be surprising if they discovered one day that the master behind it is him.

This kind of thing can't be hidden for long, and there's no point in hiding it forever.

At this point, his reputation becomes very valuable, as long as he doesn't violate the rules he has set or arbitrarily change them.

Those people would accept Valhalla without complaint even if they were forced to.

People will even praise him for his enormous contribution to all mankind, at least he can gradually grow stronger by utilizing the strength of the top-level combat forces, and that is no exaggeration!

They only need to train one summoning-type super-tier mage to gain higher combat power support, which is a super leverage!

Some regions and countries where magic is not very developed have benefited greatly; the Hall of Heroes is a blessing in disguise.
