"Dark Lord's Cloak? Oh, this thing, how do you plan to distribute it?" Su Lu asked casually.
"Don't worry about it, I was just curious. After all, there's a kid in this year's National Team who I have a special relationship with, so I just wanted to ask him a few more questions."
Hearing Su Lu's calm yet suggestive words, the coaches of the National Team present had different expressions. This was the first time they had heard of Su Lu's "having a child," and they didn't know anything about it. Feng Li and Song He, who knew the truth, didn't know whether they should be happy or not.
Regarding Lü Cheng's issue, Shao Zheng has already organized a meeting to discuss it. Magicians are magicians, the Magic Association is the Magic Association, and the country is the country. The World University Tournament is a matter for magicians, so let's not bring up other things.
If anyone insists on bringing this up, they'd better step forward and go discuss it with the future master of the Eastern Undead Empire to see if his bloodline is pure and whether he's suitable to be the undead emperor of this land.
If you're afraid, then shut your mouth.
Chapter 188 The Crimson Guild
190.
……
“Then… how about we assign the Dark Lord’s Cloak to the strongest person in this Asian country training team?” the chief white-robed elder said.
"The strongest? Who's the strongest? Are we going to have them fight?" the Indian instructor asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Fujikata Nobuko, the tutor at the Japanese National Academy, had a rather strange expression.
Who is the strongest?
She was aware of this. At Shuangshou Pavilion, Lü Cheng and Wangyue Qianxun had a brief exchange, or rather, guidance, one-sided guidance!
Even a highly skilled cultivator like Mochizuki Chika was like a child in Lu Cheng's hands! She was completely powerless to fight back! Even she had to be careful to deal with his terrifying fire-type domain. In fact, her personal strength was already beyond the standard in this year's academy competition.
Not to mention the Siren Commander that Lu Cheng later destroyed in the Sea Battle City. It was a high-level being with three magic types: mind, space, and fire, and it was good at both offense and defense. This combination of magic types made it difficult to devise a targeted battle plan.
Therefore, there is no doubt about who is the strongest.
"Mr. Su Lu, do you have any suggestions on this matter?"
Seeing that Su Lu seemed dissatisfied with his proposed solution, the chief elder in white had no choice but to ask her directly.
In any case, even if Su Lu openly arranged for the Dark Noble Cloak to be given to the person with whom he had a special relationship, the national team instructors present would only turn a blind eye and would not have any conflict with Su Lu because of it.
Everyone is quite clear about what is more important and what is less important.
“I heard that the national teams from China, Japan, and India are currently training in the Caribbean. Why don’t we let them compete against each other?” Su Lu suggested.
"The Temple of Liberty has also discussed some of its own troubles with us, including the local Red Ornament Guild. The National Team's training is not only for the competition, but also to deal with those troubles that are difficult for other countries in the world to handle on a regular basis."
"Isn't this a perfect opportunity?"
Silence fell over the meeting room, and the expressions of the national team coaches were somewhat unnatural.
To the people living in the Caribbean, the Red Ornament Guild is as dangerous as the Black Vatican in their eyes. Wouldn't it be too risky to let students deal with such an evil organization that is registered with the continental magic association?
“I have no objection,” Feng Li stated directly.
“I have no objection either,” Fujikata Nobuko said.
The Indian government advisor looked somewhat displeased, but still expressed his support.
"Don't worry, everyone. For safety's sake, I will personally go there to work with the mages of the Temple of Freedom to assist in this training mission," Su Lu said.
"The trainees will not be exposed to any major danger."
"You're going there in person?" The chief elder in white robes asked, somewhat surprised.
"Mr. Su Lu, isn't this too risky?"
Feng Li and Song He were also somewhat surprised. After all, Shao Zheng's previous assessment of the relationship between Su Lu and Lü Cheng was that Su Lu merely used this nephew as a pawn to deal with him; otherwise, she wouldn't have openly stated such a matter.
India breathed a sigh of relief. With Su Lu's influence, the Temple of Liberty would definitely not shirk its responsibilities, and the safety of their students was now much more assured.
"No, it's just a mere Red Ornament Guild. With the mages of the Temple of Freedom here, I'm confident that your students are capable enough to handle this," Su Lu said.
"Besides, I haven't left this city in a long time, so this is a good opportunity to get out and about."
Previously, Xi Zhe failed to bring Lü Cheng back. According to his insider at the Magic Palace, Lü Cheng's attitude towards that place remains unclear. Moreover, his subordinates thoroughly investigated Lü Cheng's movements over the years and discovered that the interpersonal relationships that the kid was involved in there were so complicated that even he found it somewhat unbelievable.
The trial, the Mu family, the almost silent Jiang family hidden deep within the military, the Ai family of the Northern Military Region, the Mu family of Shanghai, all the entanglements, big and small, and the Sha Yuan family that inherited the capital.
This forced him to change his original strategic policy.
After the meeting ended, Su Lu and Xi Zhe left the Sky Conference Room.
“Mr. Su Lu, I think you should reconsider this matter,” Xi Zhe said.
"You're not going to bring up security issues too, are you?" Su Lu asked casually.
He has never openly revealed his strength. In most people's eyes, he is just a super-level mage, at most reaching the level of a semi-forbidden spellcaster. He has only been able to stand in his current position because he has recruited a group of top-level mages and a few forbidden spellcasters under his command.
After all, the identity of a forbidden spell mage is too troublesome. Exposing it would bring no benefits and would only make the Holy City more likely to target him.
Although many people suspect that he has the power of forbidden spells, and even he himself has privately released some real information, as long as he does not admit to forbidden spells, what can anyone do to him?
“My concern isn’t for the Red Ornament Guild, but for Miss Su Meng,” Xi Zhe said quietly.
“Mr. Su Lu, I can tell you clearly that I am no match for her. In fact, if she has any intention to kill me, I will not even have a chance to escape.”
"I have no intention of speculating about the relationship between you and Miss Su Meng, but I hope you will carefully consider the potential dangers involved in this matter."
Su Lu's eye twitched, and she stopped in her tracks.
That is a problem, because of what happened when they were children, Su Meng has almost no trust in him!
Back then, when something so serious happened, she would rather hand Lü Cheng over to that crazy woman Ye Chang than tell him a single word. If it weren't for Lü Cheng causing trouble at the Magic Palace, he would probably still think that his nephew was wandering the world with Su Meng.
……
Bluestone Town in the Caribbean.
Lu Cheng and his group had been playing here for quite a while, and the training mission for the National Team had finally been sent over.
"A Dark Lord's Cloak used by a forbidden spellcaster? This reward for the trial is too generous!" Zhao Manyan was somewhat surprised.
He thought this level of reward would only be given in the finals, but he didn't expect it to be included in the training rewards.
"The rewards are indeed generous, and it's also true that the Red Ornament Guild is extremely dangerous," Nan Jue said.
"This is no small gang. They have over a thousand mages, with an average strength of mid-level and quite a few high-level mages. They are comparable to a magic family. Moreover, as the local power, their familiarity with the area and their covert control make them quite troublesome."
"This training exercise is arranged as a joint operation by three national teams, with the local Temple of Liberty mages providing covert assistance. Of course, we will still be the main force."
"Also...where's the captain?"
After introducing himself for a while, Nan Jue suddenly realized that Lü Cheng was not there!
Damn! You're the team leader!
Can't you be a little more reliable?
“He said he was going to meet someone,” Jiang Shaoxu said, raising her hand.
"Who?" Nan Jue asked in confusion.
Surely he can't have already hooked up with a new girlfriend, right?
That shouldn't be the case. Lü Cheng and Jiang Shaoxu have been partying almost every night lately.
“His uncle came to see him,” Jiang Shaoxu said.
"uncle?"
Everyone was confused.
“You’d never guess who his uncle is!” Zhao Manyan said mysteriously.
"Who is it?" Mo Fan asked, puzzled.
"It can't be the king of that country, or some high-ranking UN official, can it?"
Zhao Manyan's eye twitched slightly. "You actually guessed right."
No king can underestimate Su Lu. In the Asian Magic Association and the numerous countries radiating outwards from the Dubai Magic Tower, Su Lu is more powerful than the kings of those countries!
Whether those countries can survive or not depends entirely on Su Lu's word!
Moreover, Su Lu's influence extends throughout Asia and has a huge impact worldwide. However, he is a political enemy of Shao Zheng, the chairman of their country's Magic Association.
This is understandable, given that their country has a very strong magical force in Asia, and Shao Zheng, a member of the continental council who comes from there, is naturally a popular candidate for the continental council speaker.
In addition, they also have considerable conflicts of interest in politics. Even Lü Cheng has been affected by these matters. Of course, there are some things that are too confidential and sensitive for the Zhao family to find out, or rather, even if they could find out, they would not.
As businessmen, they know very well that there are some things it's better not to know.
The more you know, the faster you die.
"No, could he possibly have some kind of prince identity?" Mo Fan asked with a strange expression.
"A prince of the UAE, the kind who can marry multiple wives?"
Zhao Manyan nodded. "Pretty much."
"Holy crap?" Mo Fan's eyes twitched violently.
No, he just said it offhand!
Is he really a prince? Or the kind who can marry multiple wives?
