Versatile Mage: Summoning Black Dragon, the pinnacle of divine power

Chapter 236 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

……

"Let's call them all over at once," Izusa said.

"It's also a good opportunity for me to see how much he has grown and how much of what I taught him has he learned."

"What if Yuri... fails to handle it well?" Merora asked worriedly.

Although Caesar had learned a lot, he still lacked experience in handling these matters.

She wasn't worried about the tough stance, but about the areas where concessions were necessary...

"Some time ago, Yuri discussed with the Queen Mother the issue of the Golden Titan Giant that was hidden by her Hidden Clan, as well as the Titan's Heart. What do you think his motive was?" Yi Zhisha asked.

"There's nothing that can't be handled well. If nothing unexpected happens, the next Titan Year will be the last one."

"There will never be another Titan Year again."

"In that case, some things are no longer necessary."

So-called political maneuvering is nothing more than a matter of balancing the stick and the sweet date.

Temples without a true goddess lack sufficient military strength, so they often have to offer more benefits in exchange for cooperation.

But the current Divine Child possesses immense destructive power, and unlike the former Wen Tai, he lacks compassion.

The dragon flame outside Cairo clearly told the world that this divine child was not the successor of the holy son Wen Tai!
He was not lacking in mercy, nor was he stingy with killing!
The Son of God is indeed the Son of God!

……

"Grand Duke, news has come from the temple, inviting us to the upcoming Parthenon Snow Festival."

Eileen, from the Victoria Clan who has recently been busy developing the dragon-taming industry chain, received news from the temple.

"Snow Festival...The Year of the Titans?" Eileen frowned slightly.

"This situation is a bit strange," the old butler said.

"The temple invited a large number of hidden clans from behind them all at once. This is too big a deal. Even during the Year of the Titans, such a large-scale mobilization was not necessary."

"Moreover, it was Yi Zhi Sha who invited us over, and she also invited the Casa clan."

“Yi Zhi Sha?” Eileen was taken aback.

"What about the Alps Magic Academy?"

“They are also on the invitation list,” the old butler said.

"Moreover, our people at the Temple of the Goddess have received information that it seems even the Holy City will send representatives to participate in this matter."

Eileen paused for a moment, then said, "Let me ask him. This might be a bit troublesome."

Caesar was not good at handling diplomatic issues that required a combination of soft and hard tactics, or rather, he preferred to use underhanded methods.

But this matter is so big that we can't use too harsh methods to deal with it. Otherwise, everyone in the temple will feel insecure, and who would dare to cooperate with them?

"There's one more thing, Mrs. Loo has also been invited," the old butler said.

“Mrs. Loo?” Eileen was taken aback.

"Who invited her? Yizhi Sha?"

“No, it was His Highness the Divine Child who invited her,” the old steward said.

"Yuri?" Eileen looked puzzled.

Do they know each other?

Lady Loo wielded considerable influence within the Victorian clan, and coupled with her prominence in the Forbidden Spells Society, even she often had to defer to this old woman.

"I'm not entirely sure, but it should be related to the Holy Maiden Xin Yuekui," the old butler said.

"They seem to have made some kind of deal not long ago, and now Lady Loo and her allies have clearly sided with Saintess Xin Yuekui." "Moreover, Lady Loo has been near Cairo recently, helping Saintess Xin Yuekui deal with the local snake and scorpion invasion problem."

“Saintess Heart Moon Sunflower…” Eileen looked thoughtful.

She had also met the saintess Xin Yuekui, but she really couldn't figure out what kind of person she was.

Moreover, her approach was far too radical and risky in many ways.

The Victorian clan could not support such radical actions, so their cooperation was not smooth.

Kexin Yuekui is also Caesar's person; she practically represents Caesar's will, which has caused some concern within the Victoria clan about the cooperation between the two families...

……

"What is the temple planning to do?"

In a hotel halfway up the mountain by the sea, Eileen, who was somewhat unsure of Caesar's intentions, broke away from the main group and came over ahead of time.

"A change of dynasty?" Eileen asked.

“If I told you that I initially only intended to reason with them, but Yizhisha and the others escalated the situation, would you believe me?” Caesar said.

“I believe you,” Eileen said with a smile.

"But how did they manage to make such a big fuss?"

Caesar had no reason to lie to her; if he didn't want to say something, he would choose not to, rather than lie.

Especially when he uses the phrase "If I... do you believe me?", no matter how unbelievable the content may seem, it must be true.

“I’d like to know too,” Caesar retorted.

"I originally just intended to deal with the factional issues within the Knights' Hall, but they inexplicably brought a bunch of people to me."

The Tours family enjoys a high reputation within the Knights Hall, as do the other families. The Knights Hall is Parthenon's most important military support, and absolutely cannot be compromised.

The temple lady hoped he would handle this matter carefully, and he did indeed intend to do so.

But after receiving the news, Yi Zhisha silently invited other magic clans that were not involved in the matter. When Asha saw this, she also brought over her connections. Ye Xinxia was not idle either.

Far was busy arranging things for Sariel, but when he saw such a big commotion on his side, he thought that Sariel was going to do something big. After discussing it with Remiel, he got the Holy City involved as well.

He couldn't understand the situation anymore.

"So what were you planning to do in the first place?" Eileen asked.

“Find an example to make an example of,” Caesar said.

"First, strike hard and kill the most difficult typical cases, then give the rest a little reward, and that's it."

Eileen looked at him strangely. "Typical? You don't mean... the Tulls family, do you?"

As the oldest and most powerful magical family in the Mediterranean region, the Turs family holds a very special place in the temple's history.

Even the goddesses of the past had to show deference to the Turs family, not only because they feared their power, but also because of their prestige. If a goddess were to take action against them, the temple would be branded as a tool to discard its useful servants and slaughter its meritorious officials.

During her reign, Yi Zhisha's ruthless methods aroused dissatisfaction among many hidden clans. A large part of the reason why Wen Tai was able to stand on equal footing with Yi Zhisha as a great sage was because this goddess was too ruthless!

Nobody dared to associate with her!
The temple's core values ​​are not based on profit, but on treating people with kindness and generosity.

If Caesar continued to use Yi Zhi Sha's methods, she couldn't even imagine what the temple would become.

“Are there any others besides them?” Caesar asked.

“I can’t control how they flaunt their power among their subordinates, but they’re putting on airs with me, the son of God, wanting me to show them respect, and even trying to stand above me.”

"Who gave them this confidence?"

"This is not the Donghan Kindergarten. They are not qualified, nor should they have such delusions!"
