Wizard: I Have a Game Panel-Chapter 404 - 284: Changes and Regrets of the Great Dissolving Technique
"Is convening the Small Council now possibly related to the players?" Lole felt a touch of curiosity and tapped the meeting invitation.
In the next instant, nearly fifty light screens lined up before him.
"Speaker Lole."
"Lole..."
Seeing Lole’s arrival, the speakers nodded in greeting, and Lole nodded in response, engaging in small talk with the others.
Moments later, fifty-one light screens appeared altogether. Including Lole, all speakers ceased their chatter and turned their eyes to Francis, waiting for him to reveal the reason for convening this Small Council.
"Ladies and gentlemen, just a moment ago, Legislator Ruth intercepted some information about the players. They..." Francis looked around, then slowly divulged the intelligence obtained earlier from Kateya.
"What, players cannot independently surpass the Five-Ring level?"
"How could this be?"
"This is actually a good thing."
"Indeed." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Many speakers showed signs of surprise. Before today, they had not imagined the players would have such limitations.
This is quite... wonderful.
Lole’s lips curled slightly, but he said nothing.
Players and the Wizard Civilization complement each other, and the Wizard Alliance will take the leading role, as has been proven in a previous life.
If he were still a player, this might have somewhat annoyed him.
But now, he is a speaker of the Wizard Alliance!
"Unquestionably, this is regrettable news," Francis continued with a smile once the chatter had quieted, "What are your thoughts on the demands they are likely to raise?"
Though his words expressed regret, his face was full of smiles, prompting many speakers to smile along.
"I think we should agree to their demands."
Jerald was the first to respond, "As for choosing someone to help the players with domain interpretations, there’s no need to fix a selection."
"We just need to open a new task area in the ’Ration’ section of the Continent Communication Device, allowing players to post tasks and rewards themselves."
"Whoever is interested can take up the task, giving those Five-Ring Mages, whose potentials have been exhausted, a chance to accumulate family wealth, right?"
The breakthrough from the Five-Ring to the Sixth Ring is not without bottlenecks.
Even the earliest batch of speakers in the Wizard Alliance still have five Elemental Mages unable to find the domain-Origination Container match, and seven Bloodline Wizards unable to mutate bloodline fragments.
Among the legislators, even more Five-Ring Mages face this situation.
The reason for this is that their witchcraft or bloodline has major flaws, and the Five Rings were forcibly achieved.
These people’s achievements in this lifetime may be fixed at the Five-Ring level, with most of their energy shifted to cultivating the next generation.
Sitting idle, they might as well lend a hand to the players.
"I think Speaker Jerald’s suggestion is inappropriate."
Speaker Theo of the Sixth Ring Thunder Element immediately countered, "I suggest creating a contribution points system for players. Once they meet certain criteria, they could assign tasks to a Five-Ring Mage to aid in domain construction interpretations for a period."
"That way, we, the Wizard Alliance, would have enhanced control over the players."
The players are quite peculiar beings. When they first arrived, Theo tested them and found they were completely untouched by soul contracts.
Very much uncontrollable, in his view, players have always been a latent liability.
Now having finally caught a new handle, his top priority is imperatively to fortify control.
"I think..."
"I..."
Many speakers actively debated, with some suggesting modifications to others’ proposals, while others expressed their own, bustling with excitement.
Francis silently noted the suggestions, contemplating whether there could be an even more comprehensive approach.
A half-hour later, the discussions among the speakers came to an end.
Only then did Francis speak, "Since everyone has concluded their discussions, let’s proceed with voting. I support Speaker Theo’s proposal, but I have a few points to add."
"Firstly, concerning task rewards for Five-Ring Mages accepting interpretation tasks, I think there should be a balance between Magic Crystal and contribution points."
"Consider those mages aiming to accumulate family wealth and those short of contribution points."
"The best method is to tax the resources or contributions the players provide, converting a portion into contribution points..."
"This would benefit not only the individual Five-Ring Mage accepting the task but also bring notable benefits to the Wizard Alliance."
"Secondly..."
"Fifth..."
Francis elaborated at length, and all the speakers listened attentively.
The more they listened, the more impressed they were.
Inevitably, Francis lives up to his name, considering everything thoroughly.
"I’ve finished presenting my suggestions," Francis concluded with a smile, "Now let’s proceed to vote. The specifics shall be determined by the voting results."
"I support Speaker Francis’s comprehensive proposal."
"I agree as well."
"Seconded."
"I think..."
"Sec..."
Except for a very few speakers who expressed different views, the others voted in favor of Francis’s proposal, finalizing the way to address players’ demands.
After settling on how to handle the players’ demands, Francis also took the opportunity to discuss some previously accumulated issues.
More than an hour later, the meeting provoked by the players finally concluded.
Future matters regarding the players were to be entirely managed by Francis.
