Warhammer Wizard

"Holy soul wizards are not allowed to serve as consuls!"

A sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the conference hall, and needles could be heard throughout the hall.

The more than 300 imperial congressmen sitting in the audience looked at the legendary wizard who spoke, their faces were all discolored, but their reactions were different, some people were shocked, some people were nervous,

Some are indifferent, some are angry, and some try not to lose their temper.

The next second, everyone looked at the consul on the stage.

This proposal is aimed at the consul. Who doesn't know that Your Excellency Ren is the Holy Soul Wizard? Archons are not only Holy Spirit wizards,

Because the leader of the Modu faction, Master Anxi, has rarely shown up in the past ten years, allowing the consul to cover the sky and dominate the entire empire!

The one who proposed the proposal was Master Nestor.

He is one of the eight leaves of the Floating City of Flanes, a student of the Duke of Gray Eagle, and also has a layer of identity, the lord of the "Country of Rudia" under the Duchy of Lumpus, and the Earl of Rudia automatically obtains one Seats in the Imperial Parliament.

Ladia is the second city in the duchy after Rompus. Master Nestu can be canonized as an earl, which shows that the duke's trust in him is definitely his own.

Master Nestu dared to initiate a proposal, and the supporters behind it were clear at a glance.

The Imperial MPs frequently looked at Tim Kennan and saw his expressionless face,

As if it had nothing to do with him.

Everyone's eyes returned to the consul, and found that the consul was not as furious as he expected,

The expression is very calm, and there is not even a trace of fluctuation.

"Member Nestu." Ren said in a low voice, "Please explain the reasons for your proposal."

"Yes."

Nestu stepped out of his seat,

On the stage to the podium,

To the Imperial MPs,

He said loudly, "My colleagues,

I did not initiate this proposal against His Excellency the Archon. All of us can see the achievements of the Archon over the past ten years,

Your Excellency Ren is the best consul in the history of the empire. I only have admiration and respect for the consul, and I have absolutely no dissatisfaction or hostility. "

Having said that, Nestu also turned around and gave a solemn salute to Ren next to him.

Ren nodded slightly.

"but…"

Nestu's words changed, and he deliberately increased his tone, and continued: "The reason why the Oriente Empire has developed to the point where it is today relies on the leadership of the Supreme Council to guide us and guard the empire for the people. It is the victory of the system and the efforts of everyone in the empire, not the credit of one person or faction."

"Everyone, you can imagine, if the empire still had the emperor in power, what would Orienther be like today?"

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of many MPs in the audience changed.

Nestu said with a heavy face: "From 271 years when Emperor Alpha disappeared to 1368 when the Supreme Council was established, in the nearly 1,100 years, the empire has experienced two civil wars, four times before and after split and reunification, There have been more than two hundred wars, big and small,

Almost every war is caused by the change of the throne. How many killings have been caused and how much damage has it brought to the people of the empire? "

There was a low voice in the chamber.

Ren's face finally changed, and he looked at Nestu a few times. I have to say that the legendary wizard's speech was very convincing.

Most importantly, his words implied that he wanted to be the emperor.

Happens to be said!

Ren couldn't help but wonder if the Duke of Gray Eagle had guessed his plan, or was Nestu guessing to increase the intensity of his speech?

"You mean I want to be the emperor?" Ren asked quietly.

The meeting room was silent for a moment.

Nestu suddenly felt a huge pressure, cold sweat broke out from his back, and his feet were shaking.

He quickly explained: "I believe in the noble character of the consul, and there will never be such absurd ideas. However, the power of the empire cannot be concentrated in the hands of one person. If things go on like this, the position of the consul will deteriorate, and the status will be Above the Supreme Council, destroying the stable system that has worked for thousands of years."

"It's not good for the Empire, and it also damages the consul's personal reputation."

"I hope that the consul will consider the overall situation and give up this title. I also hope that my colleagues will maintain our system together, so that the empire can develop for another thousand years, two thousand years, or even ten thousand years, and become the greatest empire in human history. !"

Nestu bowed deeply to the deputies in the audience after speaking, and stood up straight after ten seconds, his face was full of sincerity and supplication.

His posture is moving.

But not all the congressmen were persuaded. One of the congressmen sitting in the back row stood up and asked loudly: "Master Nestu, you also know how much the consul has contributed to the empire. He has done so many things in just one term. If the consul is not re-elected, how will the policies he pursued continue?"

"Your Excellency Ren is a holy soul wizard, and he can also guide the implementation of the empire's policies in the Supreme Council." Nestu replied immediately.

Another congressman immediately retorted: "How can you guarantee that the consul who takes over has this ability?"

"The consuls are selected from among you, and their abilities are naturally not bad." Nestu laughed.

MPs didn't buy it.

Someone said loudly: "The forty-four consuls before His Excellency Ren are also elected from the imperial parliament. How can none of them achieve the achievements of Lord Ren?"

"That's right, I don't dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with the consul." Someone next to him echoed.

Most MPs nodded in approval.

None of the more than 300 people present was an easy-going person to be an imperial parliamentarian, but the achievements of the consul were so dazzling that even a confident parliamentarian would not dare to say that he could do what Ren did. , not even a tenth.

In the midst of the discussion, someone suddenly said coldly, "What if the new consul has his own ideas?"

"Yes!" A congressman looked at the stage and questioned: "Master Nestu, if the new consul opposes the policy of Your Excellency Ren, who should listen to?"

Nestu hesitated for a while before answering: "Of course, I listen to Your Excellency Ren."

"It's better to let Your Excellency Ren continue to serve as the consul!"

"Makes sense."

"Master Nestu's proposal is superfluous." Dozens of imperial parliamentarians agreed one after another. Their positions were very close, forming an area that belonged to the members of the Modu faction.

A nobleman stood up and asked again: "What if the new consul insists on his opinion?"

Nestu shook his head and said: "There will be no such situation, Your Excellency Ren represents the will of the Supreme Council."

"Why not?"

The aristocratic congressman sneered, "You dare to stand on the stage to oppose the re-election of the consul because of the support of the Duke. The new consul may also belong to you. Of course, he will dare to interrupt His Excellency Ren's policy at that time. Even the opposite!"

Some members of the front row also stood up and accused: "Netus, you keep saying that it is for the empire. Who knows, it is just for the self-interest of the balancers."

"If the consul fails to be re-elected and interrupts the momentum of the empire's development, can you afford this responsibility?"

"You are the sinner of the empire!"

One by one, the Imperial Councillors stood up to express their opposition to the proposal. The crowd was furious, and they did not give Nestu any chance to defend themselves. His expression was ugly.

"Bullshit!"

Seeing that Nestu was under siege, the balancing faction members almost drowned out the voices of opposition, and finally couldn't sit still to support him.

The members of the two camps were caught in a scolding war, and the council hall was noisy, like a vegetable market.

If the Holy Soul Wizard of the Supreme Council was not on the stage, some impulsive imperial parliamentarians might not be able to resist.

"quiet!"

Ren watched coldly for a while, and then stopped.

The chamber returned to silence.

"Sit down for me." Ren's voice contained terrifying coercion. The imperial parliamentarians felt as if their skulls had been lifted. When a basin of cold water was poured over their heads, they were suddenly silent, and quickly closed their mouths and sat back to their own. Location.

Ren's eyes swept across the members of the audience, and finally fell on Nestu's body, calmly said: "The members who initially support Master Tustu's proposal, please raise your hand."

On the left side of the stage, there were more than 20 branches raised immediately, all of them were members of the balance faction.

According to the laws of the Imperial Parliament, as long as a proposal is supported by ten people in the preliminary vote, it can enter the voting process.

If the number of supporters is less than ten, the consul can directly veto it.

"Then vote."

With a wave of Ren's hand, a brief table appeared on the stage. There were two transparent containers on the table, which were written for and against, and more than 300 gems were placed beside them. This is the tool used by Imperial MPs to vote. It is different from the voting form for consul elections. It is simpler and registered.

"Agree with Master Nestor's proposal to legislate to prohibit Holy Soul Wizard from serving as a consul, please vote in favor."

"On the contrary, please vote against it."

Ren announced the voting process and stepped aside.

Nestu went over first, picked up a gem and poured his soul power into it and voted in favor, then retreated to the stage and returned to his place. After he went down, the members of the front row got up and took the stage in an orderly manner. In front of the Holy Soul Wizards, they picked up the gems one by one and put them into the container.

Some were in favor, some were against, and a few abstained by putting the gems aside.

At the beginning, there were significantly more votes in favor.

A smile flashed in Tim Kennan's eyes.

The proposal of the Imperial Parliament needs to be approved by two-thirds of the members. There are a total of 329 members of the Imperial Council. Today, all of them are present, and the number of affirmative votes must reach 220.

The number of imperial parliamentarians belonging to the three camps of the Supreme Council is similar, and each faction accounts for about one-third, but some parliamentarians are not firm and often change camps. There are more than 30 swing members of this type, and I have privately summoned most of the swing members in the past few months to ensure that they vote in favor. In addition to the basics of the Balancers and the Netherites, I will be able to get more than 240 votes!

Once the imperial parliament has passed the proposal, it will be handed over to the Supreme Council for a vote on the spot.

Ren's consul is over!

Tim Kennan sneered in his heart, glanced at Ren, and found that Ren was also looking at him, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a meaningful smile.

"What does he mean?"

Tim Kennan suddenly felt a little uneasy. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw an imperial congressman vote against it, and his face suddenly turned gloomy.

Lord Cassidy in the southern part of the empire, one of the swing councillors.

He personally visited Kathin's territory for half a month and promised many benefits, including giving the Kathin family an opportunity to enter the Flannes Floating City to learn magic.

As a result, Kathin voted against in front of himself!

"How brave!"

Tim Kennan's face was calm, but his heart was already filled with anger, staring coldly at Lord Cassidy, but after the other party voted, he immediately stepped down, and he didn't even dare to look at himself.

He was thinking about how to punish Sir Cassidy when he saw another MP voted against it.

This is also the swing member I have summoned!

"again…"

Tim Kennan watched more and more negative votes, soon surpassed the positive votes, and quickly counted the votes, and finally realized that something was wrong.

Several swing members who have already come to power have broken their contracts.

When the Imperial Councillors from the Netherite faction came to power, many of them also voted against it, which immediately made the Duke of Redstone Kelston and the Great Sage change their faces. There were as many as fifty or more of the Netherite congressmen who voted against it, more than half!

This means that the proposal failed.

Tim Kennan cursed in his heart, Kelston is such a waste that even his subordinate imperial congressman can't control it.

It didn't take long for him to be stunned, and then his face turned ashen.

Because the imperial parliamentarians of the balance faction have also begun to vote against it, and not a few, but a majority, more than 60, including some loyal imperial parliamentarians for many years, unexpectedly betrayed the balance faction at the most critical time!

Tim Kennan and Kelston looked at each other and saw the shock and anger in each other's eyes.

The two soon discovered that these betrayed imperial councilors had a common background, either being shareholders of subcontinent trading companies, being promoted under Ren's ruling system, or participating in the construction of territories in the New World.

All in all, they have inextricably linked interests with Ren.

After realizing it, the two found out that Ren not only controlled the Supreme Council, but also bought most of the imperial parliamentarians!

The entire empire is Ren's people!

Voting ends soon.

Everyone can see at a glance that the number of negative votes far exceeds the number of yes votes, and the difference is several times, which is far from the 220 votes needed to pass the proposal.

Ren immediately announced: "85 votes in favor and 244 votes against. Master Nestu, your proposal has been rejected."

Nestu looked bewildered and did not understand why this happened.

A smile appeared on Ren's face.

The Soul Wizards of the Balance and Netherite factions were silent.

Tim Kennan's face was sullen, and Ren's smile was particularly dazzling in his eyes, as if he had slapped himself hard. The planning in the past few months has become a joke, especially those swing members who agreed. Laugh at yourself inwardly.

"Humph…"

He glanced at Kelston next to him, and the two agreed upon eye contact.

The fact that the proposal of the Imperial Parliament has not passed does not mean that there is no way to do it, and it can also be directly voted on at the Supreme Council. The reason for voting in the Imperial Parliament is to stand on the commanding heights of public opinion and use public opinion to put pressure on Ren and the Modu faction. Since this cannot be done, then vote directly in the Supreme Parliament, the effect is the same. .

Tim Kennan has arranged for Yof Ma to put forward the vote.

Youfu Ma was about to speak, when a man grabbed the front.

One of the imperial congressmen stood up and said loudly: "Consul, colleagues, although Master Nestu's proposal did not pass, it gave me an inspiration."

All eyes were drawn to the past.

The speaker was Moserio, the governor of Osi An province, and he said with dignity and dignity:

"In order to ensure that the consul can be re-elected, make a greater contribution to the empire, and benefit all the people of the empire, I hereby propose a proposal to the parliament: please appoint Lord Ren Augustus as the 'consul for life' until Lei The day when Your Excellency En ascended to the goddess' kingdom!"

"Wow..."

There was an uproar in the chamber.

The Holy Soul Wizards on the stage were also stunned. Whether it was the Modus faction, the Balance faction or the Nether faction, they were all shocked by this proposal.

Only Anseldorf shook his head slightly and let out a low sigh.

Tim Kennan suddenly got up and scolded Governor Osian in the audience: "Motherio, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know very well, Lord Duke." Mercerio was not afraid to face the Holy Soul Wizard, "My proposal is completely based on the well-being of the people of the Empire, and has no selfishness."

"What nonsense!"

Tim Kennan was furious, and although this was just his projection, the terrifying aura that erupted in his anger made the chamber tremble.

"Lord Duke, this is the Imperial Council, please pay attention to your manners." Ren's voice sounded, and his figure stood in front of Tim Kenan.

"Ren, what do you want to do?" Tim Kennan glared at Ren and didn't step back.

Their faces were almost pressed together.

Ren didn't answer.

Kelston stood up and said solemnly: "Ren, I advise you to veto this proposal, otherwise you will not only not want to be a life-long consul, but even the High Council will have no place for you."

Ren turned his head, "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm reminding you." Kelston snorted, raised his voice and said, "You became a consul for life today, will you be an emperor in the future? Senators, you have heard what Nestu just said. , the empire must never have another emperor."

The imperial parliamentarians in the audience had different expressions, but none of them dared to speak.

"Everyone."

Kelston said loudly: "The original intention of the Supreme Council was to liberate the empire from the emperor's hands. We cannot allow someone to take power alone and have undeserved ambitions."

The Holy Spirit Wizards were silent.

The members of the Balance faction and the Nether faction reacted violently, while the members of the Modus faction seemed calm.

Kelston said: "I propose to dismiss the consul of Ren Augustus..."

"Shut up!"

Ren interrupted him directly, "This is the Imperial Council, not the Supreme Palace. It's not your turn to speak yet."

He waved the rune magic circle on the console, so that Kelston's projection could not make a sound, and then said: "Whether the proposal is passed, let the imperial parliamentarians vote to decide, and then submit it to the Supreme Council for voting, you are alone in There is a lot of nonsense here, how old are you?"

Ren ignored Kelston and turned to face the imperial parliamentarians in the audience, "If you initially support Governor Moserio's proposal, please raise your hand."

He wants to force his way into the voting process.

As soon as the voice fell, hundreds of hands were raised.

"vote!"

Ren said loudly: "I am happy to serve as a life-long consul. This is my honor, and it is a supreme honor, but the decision is in your hands. Who is in favor and who is against?"

The imperial parliamentarians quickly came to power, UU reading www.uukanshu. com put a gem into the container, almost all of them are in favor.

The end result is obvious.

Tim Kennan and Kyle Stone both sullen, but they just project, can't stop the vote, and don't even make a sound.

Ren looked at the Holy Soul Wizards indifferently while staring at the vote.

As the vote progressed, the number of affirmative votes grew.

At the same time, in the dark area tens of thousands of miles away, on the ninth floor of the Obsidian Tower, Raistlin, who had been waiting for a long time, opened his eyes. Beside him, ten spellcasters with different appearances, ages, and temperaments stood, and each of them was an archmage.

The teleportation array was activated.

Raistlin stepped in with ten archmages and headed to the lower level of the Underdark, the target: Elaent, the city of illithids.
