Just as Councillor Kleist said.

The rules and order of the Arcane Ring cannot be challenged.

Rules are like anchors, firmly stabilizing the entire ship and keeping it motionless in the waves.

After so many years, no one has dared to challenge it.

Until Elliot came back from the army.

Although the child had been somewhat precocious and rebellious since childhood, he had not yet done anything actually rebellious.

In other words, I have never expressed my true thoughts.

Who knows what Elliot saw while fighting.

Not only did he leave his piece of cake uneaten, he even wanted to overturn their dining table.

squeak-

The exquisite and magnificent door was pushed open.

The elderly Milgrom slowly walked into the council hall.

"You are here, Master Milgrom."

The person who spoke was the current Grand Speaker.

However, in everyone's eyes, the real Speaker has always been only Milgrom.

The current Speaker is merely a manifestation of the Arcane Ring's philosophy of 'progress, fairness, and openness'.

Even the current Speaker himself feels so.

Milgrom waved his hand, leaned on the Staff of Time [Levant], and slowly walked to the Speaker's seat.

After he took his seat, the members of parliament spoke one after another:

"Sir, you just heard it. Elliot deliberately lowered the price of the materials to an extremely low level, and it is said that the supply is extremely sufficient. He is disrupting the market!"

"He started doing this last week. When we first sent someone to remind him privately, he told us not to meddle in his business."

"Later, we went to visit him with Councillor Crest, but he kicked us out."

The MPs were outraged and clearly had strong opinions about Elliot.

They were just insulted in front of them by that kid, how could they not be angry.

If he and Milgrom were not related, the congressmen would probably have started to speak foul language to him by now.

But they also knew that Elliot's supplies all came from Milgrom's assets.

As long as Milgrom is convinced, this annoying guy will calm down for a while.

"Before this, he had disobeyed the orders of the parliament many times. This time, we can no longer tolerate it!"

"For the sake of the order and honor of the Arcane Ring over the years, please make the decision for us."

Old voices rose one after another, denouncing Elliot's crimes.

Milgrom's eyes were as deep and calm as an ancient well.

Following his cough, the congressmen fell silent at the same time.

"I know how deeply hurtful what Elliot did was to everyone."

"After that, I will temporarily prohibit him from using the assets of my spiritual power plantations."

"Everyone, don't worry."

“There will be no more vicious competition like this.”

Following the Speaker’s affirmative response.

Suddenly, there was applause in the meeting hall. The members cheered and could not help but stand up, showing their joy on their faces, and praising the Speaker for his fairness and wisdom.

But the expressions on their faces when they smiled were a little strange.

There was also a group of parliamentarians, led by Kleist, who still had sullen faces, as if they were thinking about something else.

"Thank you, Grand Chancellor."

Kleist walked down from his seat and came to Milgrom.

"But there's another matter, more pressing than Elliot."

"About the Earl of Walsh who has gone to the Academy."

Kleist was one of the younger ones among them, but his hair was still gray.

For an extraordinary person, he is in the prime of his life.

The face of this seventh-level magic emperor was cold and stern, giving him an aura of majesty without even being angry.

But decades ago, he was just one of his beloved students.

Milgrom thought silently.

"Do you have anything to say, Kleist?"

The old man spoke.

"Should we do another experiment to see if the earl can really devour the alien demons?"

"Don't try. This meaningless behavior will only erode the trust between each other."

Milgrom said calmly.

"We must know whether he has the ability to absorb and devour all kinds of chaos pollution. You should understand why we are in a hurry."

Kleist's eyes were sinister.

"Time waits for no one. Corruption is eating away at our spirits bit by bit. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before we become part of their clan."

"It has been thirty years since I became a councillor. Twenty years ago, I proposed the establishment of the Outland Hunters, but it was too late."

"The corruption of those Chaos Lords has spread to almost all the councilors. Two councilors have been honorably executed at the end of the corruption stage, but those of us who are still alive still have to endure the torment every day."

"Farrow Walsh, his abilities are our only hope of not being corrupted."

Milgrom frowned and said:

"I'm not sure if letting Farrow rashly swallow the pollution of Chaos will harm him. Generally speaking, it is impossible to purify your level of corruption without suffering serious backlash."

"He is a wizard of extraordinary talent. You can never be too cautious in matters like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kleist's tone suddenly became heavier.

"You mean, the life of a magic genius is worth more than a dozen lives of us who write the history of the arcane?"

The Grand Chancellor was stunned for a moment, looking at the student in front of him, who seemed a little unfamiliar.

"When I see Elliot, I think of myself when I was younger." Crest said coldly, "He also reminded me that we can't always follow red tape when doing things. Sometimes we just need more aggressive means."

At the same time, all the MPs gathered around.

Although they didn't say anything, their eyes told Milgrom.

——They support Congressman Kleist's suggestion.

"Your realm is unfathomable. It is a blessing that you have not been corrupted."

"But we must consider our own lives, and the future of parliamentary order, Grand Speaker."

There is great terror between life and death.

This is true even for the extraordinary strong ones, for this group of people who are at the top of the world in terms of power and strength.

Fortunately, the Arcane Circle is fair, enlightened, and progressive.

Every member of parliament has the right to speak up and cast a vote for the decisions they like.

This is their 'justice'.

“We follow tradition.”

“Come and vote.”

Kleist said seriously.

But with the situation so one-sided right now, there is no need to vote.

Milgrom is a wavering centrist.

For more than two hundred years, the principles he has adhered to have been compromise and checks and balances.

I am not like Elliot. I am young and energetic, have no baggage, feel relaxed and comfortable, and always feel that I can break the old rules.

The group of congressmen in front of him were like wolves, surrounding him in a pack, growling silently and aggressively.

Chapter 24 The Lord of Chaos——Cruelty

Milgrom groaned in silence.

He smelled a threat in the air.

If he remembered correctly, the one who corrupted Crest was a cruel god among the Chaos Lords, who loved killing and blood, and his followers were often dominated by anger.

The councillors meant that even if Farrow had to be sacrificed, his abilities must be used to absorb the favor bestowed by Chaos.

The Grand Speaker's brows were knitted together.

His face looked sad.

He had worried that lawmakers would force him out or remove him from office, but he never thought it would happen so soon.

They turn a blind eye while they monopolize resources and enrich themselves.

When they formed cliques and sent their cronies to the academy, he never asked any questions.

Although he disdains their despicable means, the parliament is made up of them, and the members of parliament are all his former students.

Because of this, Milgrom turned a blind eye to their behavior.

This is not the Imperial Court of Kawia, and I am not El Curro, so I cannot turn the entire Arcane Ring into a one-man show.

But now he regretted it.

If it were decades ago, Milgrom could still rely on his own strength and prestige to force them to obey him.

However, after so many years, these congressmen who were once his students are no longer the same as they used to be.

Each of them is a leader of a powerful merchant group or a giant in magical technology.

They used their power and extraordinary resources to monopolize the advancement channels for ordinary mages.

If you want to continue to make progress on the path of arcane magic, you must rely on them.

Since then, large numbers of wizards have been researching the most advanced magical technology for them.

The newest magical fortifications on the Lumenlaka Islands were built by Crest.

This group of students...is no longer under my control.

They have even become old people like themselves.

His thoughts are stubborn and pedantic.

Milgrom sighed softly, his eyes were dim and colorless, revealing a hint of helplessness and heaviness.

"Faro is a rare talent, I really don't want to lose him..."

The Grand Speaker spoke.

The wolves' eyes suddenly became sharp.

"But you are right. Compared with him, the members who maintain the order of the arcane law are more important."

The crowd fell silent.

But a look of joy and relief had already appeared on their brows.

The Grand Speaker finally compromised!

"I respect your opinions and will use Farlow Walsh's abilities to purify you."

"I hope he won't resist and cooperate with the Arcane Ring..."
