Can Chapter 215 be resolved?
The giant python finally spoke again, but this time the sound was different from the snake's hiss; it was the explosive sound of flames exploding: "Are you willing to accept an unbreakable alliance? Both sides need to make an unbreakable oath."
An unbreakable alliance—within the Bureau of External Security, anyone who dares to utter this phrase with a laudatory tone is practically guaranteed an interrogation.
The director of the External Security Bureau had this thought in mind. He naturally didn't believe that the unbreakable alliance the wizard spoke of was just a song, and was more inclined to believe that the wizard did indeed have a kind of magic that could create such an alliance.
Perhaps it is because such an alliance cannot be broken, or perhaps the cost of breaking such an alliance is so great that no one can bear it, that it is called unbreakable.
He hesitated. How could a political creature form an unbreakable alliance?
It would be utterly ridiculous to say this out loud, and his political enemies and so-called allies would laugh at him for the rest of their lives. Even after he's buried, politicians for countless years to come would use him as a negative example to lash out at his corpse when educating their children.
If forging an unbreakable alliance could bring him profit, he wouldn't hesitate to forgo posthumous fame.
In reality, his original intention in forming an alliance was to obtain a springboard, a bridge to communicate with wizards, so as to use the power of the state apparatus to take control of the magical world and allocate a portion of wizards to his use.
Admittedly, he was unaware of wizards' abilities, the social structure of the wizarding world, and their living conditions.
However, he believed that as long as people are human, there will always be hierarchies and social classes, and as long as there are class conflicts, there will always be room for manipulation. No matter how great the gap is between wizards and ordinary people, or how convenient, fast, or advanced a wizard's life may be.
The wealth and glory that a country's president can bring is far greater than what the lowest-ranking wizard in the wizarding world can obtain.
Therefore, he could not accept an unbreakable alliance, let alone make an unbreakable vow.
The scene fell silent. The giant python on the ground seemed to be quietly waiting for an answer that would never come. The invisible fluctuations underground became more and more frequent, constantly penetrating and polishing the operating table where the magic wizards were imprisoned.
"Respected wizard, you are not well aware of the unpredictable nature of French politics. In this day and age, we ministers may appear to hold power, but in reality, it is far less glamorous than it seems."
"We are ministers, responsible to France, so our stance must change with France, and can only change with France. We must sacrifice everything and abandon everything for France."
"France belongs to the people, and the will of the people is always unfathomable. I have no power to control my own stance."
As he spoke, he carefully observed the movements of the giant fire python on the surveillance footage.
In the scene, the giant fire python coils its body like a living snake, its several heads swaying rhythmically, as if judging whether what it says is true or false.
Stay calm, don't panic—he told himself that his future would be that of a world-class politician and a top orator, and that making lies sound like the truth was an essential skill for him.
Suddenly a strange sound came from behind him.
Then he heard the exclamations of his soldiers.
"Oh my God! The operating table is glowing."
"Oh my god, where is the person who was caught?!"
"How did they all disappear!"
He turned slightly, still keeping a glimpse of the screen out of the corner of his eye.
Then he saw that all the operating tables were empty, with only a thin layer of blue paper on the bed retaining warmth and the outline of a body.
The traces left behind are proving to the agents that this is not an illusion: they really did capture the Magisters and tie them to the operating table, but just a moment ago, all the Magisters disappeared.
"What?!"
Everyone present felt as if someone had grabbed them by the throat, making it difficult for them to breathe.
This is because the heart contracted due to the overwhelming shock and unexpectedness, leaving only surprise and panic as one forgets to breathe.
The director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau seemed to realize something and immediately turned his head to look at the monitoring screen.
He actually saw a mocking expression on the snake's face made of flames!
Perhaps the person behind it felt that micro-expressions alone were not enough to express their feelings, so they directly replaced the snake face with a comical face.
Nine large, comical figures floated up and down in the air.
Those watching the surveillance from underground felt a tightness in their chest and shortness of breath. They felt mocked and had ample evidence against them. Their only regret was that they couldn't win the fight.
They couldn't win, so they became incompetent agents, left only with worry—worry that the giant python above them might launch another attack and slaughter them all.
That's quite possible. After all, according to the director, the wizard who previously controlled the giant fire python was hesitant because he was afraid of harming the magic wizards and they would be killed.
Although it now seems that the director's words were just nonsense, the wizard outside was very concerned about the safety of his compatriots, unlike what the director said about the special forces of the northern bear. He was only able to persuade him to stay because he was stalling for time!
The director of the General Administration of External Security had a face that looked like it had been used in a sketching class, with patches of white and black.
He underestimated the wizard's methods and failed to control his own desires.
Before this happened, although he knew that wizards could teleport away from a place instantly, and had imagined that wizards could also send other people away instantly, he never thought that wizards could teleport other people away from a great distance! This is simply like a god from mythology!
Frustration and despair flashed through his mind. Humans could not possibly be a match for gods, nor could he possibly contend with a wizard who possessed such power.
No, that's not right. It's by no means easy for a wizard to do this. It would take a long time to prepare. Otherwise, he wouldn't have delayed. He noticed something was wrong and sighed helplessly.
What's the use of discovering clues now?
He suddenly realized that he had no real leverage.
They had no leverage and faced a huge threat overhead.
This was the first time he had truly felt the possibility of death since ending his career as a low-level intelligence agent.
So, his eyes darted around twice, and in a moment of quick thinking, he began to play the part of a political creature, declaring eloquently, "Although my position is consistent with that of France, in order to form an alliance with the esteemed wizard, I am willing to abandon my original position. I agree to swear an unbreakable oath."
In the dense forest, Ryan, upon hearing this, had a famous scene on his mind: Can we reconcile now?
"At this very moment? Are you joking?" He opened his mouth to speak from the dense forest.
The giant python coiling above the deep pit let out a chilling, terrifying hiss that instilled utter fear: "At this moment! Are you joking?!"
