Zhu Min was a little worried, but he still calmed down and answered carefully: "The situation has been chaotic recently. I summoned these senior officials to make some security arrangements out of consideration for the survival and self-protection of the academy."
Duotong nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. The current situation in the academy is difficult, and there are not many people who can take on the task. Fortunately, you are here to help me share some of the burden. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for me to take care of both, and I would be overwhelmed.
"
Of course, Zhu Min couldn't deny the leader's praise. He smiled politely and said that these were all his duties.
Then he pretended to be casual and asked: "Lord Duotong, I went to the Taiyi Academy last time to have a small meeting with the top officials of the three academy palaces. I wonder what will happen next? What agreement can the three parties reach?"
Duotong shook his head: "The situation is complicated, far beyond our imagination. Coupled with emergencies, the situation is not optimistic."
Zhu Min was surprised and asked: "What is an emergency? Is there anything worse than the civil war in recent years?"
Duotong was silent for a moment and said bitterly: "If I tell you that the civil war in the past few years may be just the beginning of this bad situation, what would you think?"
"What? Sir, why did you say this?" Zhu Min really couldn't be punished.
Duotong did not show off, but said: "I regard you as my confidant, and there is no need to hide it from you now. This meeting can be said to have ended on bad terms among the three parties. Especially the Shenguang University Scholar, who is naive
, is still ambitious and wants to rely on his seniority to command the three university palaces and make him the sole leader."
Zhu Min's heart sank, and he asked with emotion: "He is just the chief of the Five Elements Academy, how can he be so virtuous and capable? And everyone knows that his ability is far from that of the original chief Jiang Ling. Even Jiuxiu of the Taiyi Academy
He is much better than him. How can he, a bastard, have such ambitions?"
Duotong sighed: "If it were the Earth's Inner World in the past, people like Shen Guang would be able to show off in the Five Elements Academy. But now, it's no better than in the past... It's a long story. In short, the pattern of the Earth's Inner World will be different.
There are big changes, and everyone, including me, must be mentally prepared and make choices. Once we make a mistake, we will be doomed."
Is it really serious enough?
So, the secret meeting between Shenguang and the Titan clan boss is true? Are the four golden clans really going to abandon the Titan Academy? Will they support the Five Elements Academy instead?
However, the Five Elements Academy is based on the three major golden ethnic groups such as the Abyss Clan, and the interests of the four major golden ethnic groups including the Titan Clan are not in line with each other, or even run counter to them.
Supporting the Five Elements Academy is not in our interests.
Zhu Min's complicated expression naturally made him a little confused in the eyes of Grand Scholar Duotong.
"What? Do you think I am being alarmist?" Duotong stared at Zhu Min.
Zhu Min shook his head hurriedly: "No, no, no, I never meant this. It's just..."
"Just what?" Duotong was thinking carefully, and it was obvious that something was wrong with Zhu Min today. When he walked over from a distance, he looked worried, as if he had something on his mind but wanted to stop talking. Even faintly,
Zhu Min seemed to still be a little hesitant, even a little wary.
What is he afraid of?
Zhu Min was stared at by Duotong's sharp eyes and felt uncomfortable all over. He wanted to find some excuses, but he stammered and couldn't come up with any.
Duotong snorted coldly: "What? Is there something in this Titan Academy that I shouldn't know? Or is there something that you don't dare to say?"
Zhu Min said hurriedly: "My lord, please calm down. I have no such thoughts. There is just one thing that I really want to ask for advice, but I am afraid that my lord will misunderstand me and cause a rift."
Duotong was a little surprised, but his face was calm. He waved his hands and said: "If you have any questions, it's okay for you to just say it. Isn't it because you can't trust me if you hesitate?"
Zhu Min repeatedly said that he did not dare, and then thought about it for a while before summoning the courage to ask: "Sir, our academy has asked the four golden tribes for support many times, but the four golden tribes have always ignored them. Does this mean that,
Are the four golden groups going to leave our academy?"
"Alas..." Duotong let out a long sigh, "So, you can see it too."
Zhu Min smiled bitterly and said: "Isn't this obvious enough? Could it be said that the four golden ethnic groups are trying to separate themselves from the Titan Academy?"
Duotong was silent for a moment, and suddenly said quietly: "The Titan Academy has become the target of public criticism, and it may not be able to create any benefits for the four golden ethnic groups. In order to protect themselves, it is not impossible for the four golden ethnic groups to abandon the Titan Academy. We must get it
That’s what you need to be mentally prepared for.”
This is equivalent to indirectly acknowledging Zhu Min's judgment.
Zhu Min's face darkened for a while, and he said in despair: "So, have we really become the abandoned children of the four golden ethnic groups? Master Duotong, you..."
"What do you want to ask? Now it's just you and me. We can speak openly without worrying about being guilty for our words."
Zhu Min's tension gradually subsided, and he nodded and asked: "If the four golden groups are officially separated from the academy, how will you deal with yourself, and how will we deal with you?"
This is a problem that must be faced and is also the core issue.
The attitude of the multi-pupiled grandmaester will determine the future of the high-level and middle-level people in Titan Academy. If the purple-gold-sanded grandmaisters give up, then even if they want to resist, they will be leaderless and will probably remain scattered.
"Zhu Min, you are worried that I will abandon you, right?"
Zhu Min hurriedly explained: "People are panicking right now. Your attitude, my lord, determines the attitude of the high-level and middle-level people in the academy, and even determines the future trend of the academy. But my subordinates know that you are a person with feelings. If you want to
If you abandon us, you won't be able to return to the academy, let alone work so hard for the future of the academy."
This is also a man who can talk. Since he took a picture of the rainbow fart, he also expressed everyone's mentality. The most important thing is that he also asked everyone's questions.
It all depends on whether you, Mr. Duotong, will give you a direct answer. If you avoid talking about it, then your attitude is ambiguous and you may jump ship at any time.
If you inform us with a firm attitude, you will naturally be able to stabilize everyone's hearts.
Duotong looked at Zhu Min, and Zhu Min's eyes stopped being cautious and looked at Duotong calmly, his eyes full of expectation, hoping to get the exact answer from Duotong.
"As you said, if I abandon you all, I will not return to the academy. Regardless of other matters, on this issue, my position is consistent with each of yours. As the only remaining member of the Titan Academy
Grand Bachelor with Purple Gold Ribbon, I am the biggest label of Titan Academy now. If the four golden groups really want to liquidate Titan Academy, I am the one who will bear the brunt of it, so what do you have to fear?"
Zhu Min was overjoyed. As expected, Master Duotong was still awake. What he said was exactly what Zhu Min had speculated before.
Master Duotong is the current representative of Titan Academy. If Titan Academy must be a scapegoat, Master Duotong cannot be avoided. It is impossible for the four golden ethnic groups to accept Duotong, and it is impossible for Duotong and the four golden ethnic groups to accept him.
compromise.
Zhu Min nodded, and then asked cautiously: "Sir, during this period, has anyone from the four golden groups contacted you?"
Duotong smiled and shook his head: "Zhu Min, after all this, you still can't believe me? Moreover, these days, I am either in Taiyi Academy or Collection Pavilion. If I am from the four golden ethnic groups
If someone contacts me, how can I still hide it from you?"
Zhu Min said: "My subordinates are very grateful that your Excellency can tell you so frankly. At this time, there is also news that makes my subordinates and many senior officials very worried."
"What's the news?" Duotong saw Zhu Min taking a long detour, as if this was the focus of today's conversation.
Having reached this point, Zhu Min did not hesitate, but told Duo Tong truthfully about the news about Bachelor Hei Bing. Bachelor Shenguang had a secret meeting with the Titan clan boss, and the Titan clan and the other three
The big golden tribe is colluding secretly, and there seems to be some secret operation.
In addition to this news, Zhu Min also stated everyone's speculations on the current situation in detail.
After listening, Duotong's face became very solemn.
The action was so fast. How could Shenguang have such strong execution ability? And he actually directly found the top ten golden groups. This was obviously leaving aside the Titan Academy and the Taiyi Academy.
Just as Zhu Min and others speculated, the Titan clan actually saw the divine light, and they still conducted it in secret. They still avoided the Titan Academy in all their actions after the meeting.
This is self-explanatory.
The four major golden groups avoid the Titan Academy. This means they are not only jumping ship, but more likely, they are abandoning the Titan Academy.
"Sir, what does Shen Guang want to do? He, the chief of the Five Elements Academy, is just a joke. Can he still convince the ten golden tribes to unanimously target our Titan Academy?"
Duotong shook his head gently: "Zhu Min, things are not as simple as you think. Shenguang's trip is certainly for personal ambition. He is probably trying to make the Five Elements Academy dominate the family, and combine the Titan Academy and Taiyi Academy
Remove them altogether, making the Five Elements Academy the sole agent of the top ten golden ethnic groups."
"How dare he? How can he be so virtuous and powerful? Do he have this ability and this appetite? Moreover, are the Titans and the other three golden tribes really so heartless and not talking about love?" Zhu Min was still a little angry.
of.
He hates the fact that the Titans and other golden tribes are soft-spoken and unreasonable. Why would he rather accept suggestions from outsiders and collude with outsiders than get close to the senior officials of the Titan Academy who also have the blood of the golden tribe? Is it possible that the Titan Academy has worked so hard to give
The four golden ethnic groups dominate the country and pursue profits, but in the end they have no value at all?
Duotong sighed: "I'm afraid you only know one aspect of this matter, but not the other."
And secondly? Could it be that there is some inside story that everyone doesn’t know?
Zhu Min looked at Duotong in surprise: "Sir, what's the reason for this?"
Duotong said seriously: "This is the second reason why I have been in the Collection Pavilion these days. Now, I have figured it out, but I am still a little hesitant about whether I should tell you or not."
Zhu Min smiled bitterly and said: "The matter has come to this. Since you are of the same mind as us, why are you still hesitant and unable to tell us frankly?"
"I am afraid that once I tell you that you and I may not be of the same mind, I am afraid that you will become unsteady and accelerate the division of Titan Academy."
Zhu Min was hesitant: "Sir, what we all face this time is the choice of life and death. Is there any bigger factor than life and death that can make us waver?"
"It's hard to say..." Grand Scholar Duotong said lightly, "Because this matter is also related to everyone's future, and even to the fate of the entire inner earth world."
Zhu Min's heart sank: "Your Excellency, you won't say that this matter has something to do with humans on the surface, right?"
"Humans on the surface are only one factor in it. Forget it, it's a long story. Let's take a look at this..." Duotong pulled out some of the files he had compiled in the past few days from the storage equipment without reservation.
The land is recommended to the great scholar Zhu Min.
Verbal expressions are always not as convincing as tangible materials.
Zhu Min watched for half an hour. His expression changed from doubt to surprise, from surprise to fear, from fear to confusion. After a long time, he finally put down the materials at hand in despair.
"The Tower of Destiny...the prophet's prophecies...these are all top-secret files. So it turns out that the ancient times were real and not legends?" Zhu Min murmured, looking quite distracted.
In fact, all this had a great impact on him.
"I am not wrong, right? Once I tell you, you will definitely be undecided. You, Zhu Min, are still like this. Those bachelors below, and the deacons below the bachelor, they lack the overall situation, lack in-depth and rational prediction of the situation, and it is very difficult for them to predict the situation.
It’s easy to fall into new confusion.”
"The Divine Light can convince the Titans and other golden tribes for the same reason. Because in this small-scale meeting at Taiyi Academy, he firmly opposed the Tower of Destiny and the prophet's predictions, denying them flatly.
, vowing to fight against the destiny prophecy to the end in order to achieve his ambition of the Five Elements Academy to dominate the inner earth world."
Zhu Min nodded blankly, this time he completely understood.
I also know that the news about Hei Bing is true, and the underlying reasons are beyond the imagination of Hei Bing, even Zhu Min.
After a long while, Zhu Mincai said with difficulty: "So, your position, sir, is that the prophet's prediction will definitely be fulfilled, so we should adapt to the current situation and accept the reality?"
"Otherwise, the prophet's predictions are not bound to be fulfilled, but are already being fulfilled. What I have to do is not to accept the reality, but to adapt to the situation, create reality, and write a better reality."
"Ten thousand years ago, someone followed the situation, ended the Destiny Tower era, and established the ruling order of the ten golden ethnic groups in the three university palaces. They created the reality of this era and created the glory of this era."
"And now, a new era is coming. The difference is that we are the ones making the decision now. In the end, we are following the trend, but like Shen Guang, we are going against the trend."
This is indeed a difficult choice.
Zhu Min finally understood why Master Duotong said that after they learned about the situation, it would only be more difficult to choose and they would definitely be undecided.
