Chapter 207: The Olive Branch from the Arcane Council and the Treatment of Mena The arcane counter-effect did not last long, and the lavender halo around Lear quickly dissipated. Lalena reacted and took a deep breath. "Special Executive Officer Li Er, is this spell really a spell of no grade?" "Yes, Mr. Speaker." Lear nodded. After receiving the reply, Lalena fell silent. The entire box was silent. After a long while, she spoke up, "I wonder if Special Executive Officer Li Er is interested in joining the Arcane Council." Staring at Li'er with burning eyes, this was the best solution Lalena could think of. The power of the spell Arcane Counter is too terrifying, but fortunately it is a mage spell and only practitioners of Arcane Law can learn it, so under normal circumstances it will not have much impact on the Arcane Council. But the young man in front of him was not in an abnormal situation. As the special executive of the Church of War, Lear possesses the power of war and the power of arcane. This means that if Lear wants to become hostile to the Arcane Council, it will be difficult for the entire Arcane Council to pose a threat to Lear. The solution Lareina thought of was to bring Lear into the Arcane Council. After all, Lear also possessed the power of arcane law, so it was reasonable to tell others about it.
"You want me to join the Arcane Council?" Hearing Lareina's words, Li Er raised his head. He certainly knew what Lareina wanted to do. Joining the Arcane Council was certainly possible, but the important thing was what he could get. "Yes, as long as Special Executive Li'er joins the parliament, I can declare you the seventh member of the parliament, with all the powers of a member of the parliament, and all spell books below the extraordinary level in the parliament will be open to you." Lareina stated her bargaining chip. "Only spell books below Transcendent?" "I'm sorry, but even members of parliament need to make a contribution before they can borrow spell books above the extraordinary level. The same goes for other members of parliament, but each member is eligible to borrow three extraordinary spell books for free." Lalena explained. Hearing this, Lear nodded. He knew the rules of the Arcane Council. "If I choose to join the parliament, do I have to hand in the arcane countermeasures?" Lear suddenly asked. "The parliament will not force you to hand in your spells, but if Special Executive Li'er is willing to hand them in, the parliament will reward you generously, and these rewards are in addition to your parliamentary rights." Lareina replied with a smile. Lear nodded. Lareina was a smart person, and her meaning was to invite Lear to join the parliament and become a member of parliament. She gave Lear three extraordinary spells for free, and the right to view other spell books below the extraordinary level. As for the spell of Arcane Counter, Larena did not force Lear to hand it over. Lear appreciated this way of handling things, as it did not have the condescending feeling of the Golden Church. However, Lear did not believe that Lareina would really give him so many benefits for free. "Mr. Speaker, you invited me to join the parliament and gave me so many conveniences. Don't you have any requirements?" Lear asked with a smile. "Special Executive Li'er, I have seen the spells you created, whether it is Arcane Cannon, Extinguishment or Arcane Counterattack. They are absolutely excellent spells. You are fully qualified to be a member of the parliament." Lareina answered righteously. "The Arcane Council has never been stingy with geniuses, but the spell books promised to you can only be fulfilled after you actually become a member of the council." She continued, with a sly look in her eyes. "Then how can I really become a member of parliament?" Lear asked. "To become a member of the parliament, you must declare yourself under the statue of the goddess. As long as Special Executive Li'er returns to Kalia with me, I will hold a ceremony for you to become a member of the parliament. After that, the parliament's spellbook will be open to you." Lareina said with a smile. This is her purpose. She promised to make Lear a councillor, but asked him to follow her to Carlia. She wanted to tie Lear to the chariot of the Arcane Council. These days, she also learned about Lear's situation from Erwin and Maya. As a dual-law professional, when Lear's arcane law also reaches the extraordinary level, his strength will definitely be terrifying. Such people are worth winning over.
As long as Lear is brought to Kalia, Lareina is confident that she can keep Lear. Lear's original profession was a wizard, but later he seemed to have received the gift of the goddess of war and gained the power of the laws of war. This shows that Lear must be more inclined to arcane, otherwise he would not have chosen the mage profession in the first place. The reason why he asked Meia to teach him spells must be because Lear loved the arcane, and also because he wanted Meia's spells. It was the goddess of war who forcibly took Lear to the Church of War! Lalena thought to herself, even though it was a bit blasphemous, this was the only reason she could think of. "Your Excellency the Speaker, do you want me to go to Kalia?" Li'er looked at Lalena and understood. Sure enough, the spell book is not that easy to get. "Yes, but the parliamentary ceremony must be held under the statue of the goddess. This has always been the rule of the parliament." Lareina's delicate face showed a little helplessness. "Then I'm afraid I won't be able to become a member of parliament for the time being." Lear shook his head. The war trial was about to begin, and the Blood Temple was also built in Soros. He couldn't leave now. "Does Special Executive Li'er mean that he is willing to become a member of Parliament?" Lareina's eyes lit up. "Of course, how can I refuse the invitation from the Speaker? It's just that I can't leave Soros for the time being." Lear nodded. Lear was not opposed to just going to Kalia. He could also understand Lareina's idea, which was nothing more than winning him over. Lear thought it was a good deal to go to Kalia and gain the status and power of a member of the Arcane Parliament. If we can have the support of the Church of War and the Arcane Council, even if the affairs of the Blood Cult are exposed in the future, we can drag the Church of War and the Arcane Council into the water! Lear had evil thoughts in his mind. Lareina knew nothing about this and was just trying to win over Lear. "In that case, I will wait for Senator Lear to arrive in Kalia. Well, there is one more thing, about Mena..." After talking about Lear joining the parliament, Lareina mentioned Mena. "Mena is my daughter. I'm sorry that she offended you. I can make compensation for this. Can you ask Special Execution Officer Li'er to release Mena?" She said apologetically, "I'm willing to give you an extraordinary spell book in exchange." This was a very sincere exchange, as even members of parliament could only get three supernatural spell books for free. But Li Er shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mr. Speaker, I can't hand Princess Mena over to you for the time being." Hearing Li'er's words, Lalena's eyebrows drooped, "Senator Li'er wants the spells in Mena's forbidden arcane book?" She had heard from Erwin that Erwin and Maya had negotiated with Lear before, but Lear remained indifferent. I heard that the two had some interactions before Mena attacked Lear. Is it the forbidden spell that Lear wanted from Mena? The arcane book had been handed down from Lalena's father for a long time. The book of arcane that explored the soul was a taboo. Her father had spent all his energy to create the arcane, but in the end he sealed the arcane in the book, leaving behind the words "the soul is a taboo that mortals cannot touch." From then on, Lalena sealed up the arcane book until it was stolen by Mena. This is the secret of the Arcane Council. How did the young man in front of him know Mena's whereabouts and how did he know the forbidden arcane book? Lareina stared at Lear for a long time, but Lear just smiled and said nothing. She sighed and took a last look at the pendant between her chest. Two lavender gems emit brilliant light. This is a relic of law, containing a trace of the soul power of Mena and Maya. The conditions of Maya and Mena can be known through the light of the gem.
Mena's soul light remained calm, so Lalena knew that Mena was not in danger of death. "That arcane book was left by my father. He created the forbidden arcane and then sealed it away." After a moment's silence, Lareina suddenly started talking to herself. "My father didn't want the arcane in the book to spread out, so he sealed it. But Mena was very rebellious and stole the book after listening to me. She wanted to remove the seal." "Originally, I wanted to find Mena and bring her back to put her in solitary confinement. Since Senator Lear is also interested in that spell, I can let you and Mena study the arcane book together." Lareina said dimly, and she attributed the reason why Lear took Mena away to the fact that Lear wanted to study the arcane book with Mena. In her opinion, since Lear could create a series of powerful spells such as Arcane Counter, he must have a genius in arcane talent, which is why he is interested in the arcane book. Maybe Mena was kept here because she had been studying that arcane book for a long time? Li Er listened to Lareina's words. He didn't know what Lareina was thinking, but he always felt that she had misunderstood something. "I can let you and Mena study the arcane book together, but I have conditions." Lalena continued. "You must treat Mena well while she is with you, and if you have not been able to lift the ban after more than half a year, you will need to be responsible for Mena!" "Responsible?" Lear was stunned. "Mena is my daughter, and more importantly, the princess of Kalia. You have hidden my daughter for half a year. What do you think people outside will think? Will she be able to get married in the future?" Larena said firmly. "..." The private room suddenly fell silent because of Lareina's words. Not only Lear, but also Meya and others beside him were silent. Lear never expected that Speaker Lareina would make such a decision to marry Mena to him? "Mr. Speaker, isn't this a bit..." Lear wanted to refuse, but what he got was Lareina's serious look. "You want to refuse? Then let Mena go now!" Lalena said coldly, "I know that although Mena attacked you, it was you who threatened Mena first. You wanted the spell so you threatened Mena." "If you hadn't threatened Mena, Mena wouldn't have attacked you!" "Even if Dival is here, I am still right. If you want to imprison Mena for your own selfish desires, I think Dival will help me." "Either you agree to my request, or let Mena go." Lareina spoke a lot like a string of cannonballs, and Li Er broke out in a cold sweat. He had mentioned his threat to Mena when Mena had set up a magic circle to attack him. He originally thought that no one noticed, but now that he had been discovered, the situation had changed. There was no reason to keep Mena imprisoned any longer. Mea on the side was also stunned after hearing what her mother said. When describing Mena's attack on Lear, she also mentioned the threat, but she didn't think too much about it at the time. She just thought that it was her sister who attacked Lear. Now it seems that Lear is in the wrong! After a long silence, Li Er raised his head and pretended to be innocent and said, "Mr. Speaker, what are you talking about? I didn't threaten Princess Mena, but since it is your request, then I will naturally agree to it." In the end, Lear chose to agree. In his opinion, the spell of resurrection was more important than the extraordinary spells of the parliament, and Lalena gave him half a year. In other words, as long as Menaga works hard to develop the spell within half a year, he will not be responsible! If he finds time to tell Mena the news, the princess probably won't want to marry him and will study magic even harder!
Li Er thought to himself that he always felt that he had some potential to be a scumbag. "You agreed?" Lareina thought she would have to persuade Li'er, but she didn't expect that Li'er would agree directly. "I accept, but I think it should take less than half a year to analyze a spell." Li Er smiled. Lareina also understood what Lear meant. If she could analyze the spell within half a year, she would not be held responsible. "You are very confident?" Lalena chuckled. "Has Senator Li Er read the arcane book?" "Not yet." Lear shook his head. He couldn't understand it at all. "I once studied that arcane book and spent nearly ten years without being able to parse the spells." Lalena said calmly, "It has only been five years since Mena stole the arcane book." Li Er listened to Lareina's words and smiled. He understood what the other party meant. As the Speaker of the Arcane Council, how could Mena possibly complete the research that had not been completed in ten years? Even if we add another half a year it would still be impossible. But Li Er was confident. When Mena in his previous life appeared, she had obviously figured out the spell. At that time, the game had been launched for less than half a year! "Mr. Speaker, perhaps you don't know your daughter very well." Li Er replied with a chuckle, "Your daughter is a genius, a true genius." Just like what was said in the introduction to that arcane book, only a true arcane genius could decipher the spells contained therein! Li'er's confident tone made Lalena inexplicably nervous. Could they really analyze the spell in half a year? Lareina didn't know, and Lear didn't say anything else. After that, Lear left. After Lear left, Maya threw herself into her mother's arms and said with a complicated look, "Mother, are you really going to marry my sister to Lear?" "Lear has held Mena captive for so long, he should be responsible for her." Lareina nodded, thinking about Lear's attitude just now, and did not notice Maya's conflicted emotions.
