Warhammer Wizard

"The teacher is the closest person to the golden throne!"

Anse Waldos looked stunned, and instantly understood the meaning of Ren's words. If Ren agrees to enter the Supreme Council, the Modus faction will have six votes steadily, and with Oroin, who is already very close, the number of votes exceeds half.

As a result, he will take full control of the Supreme Council and become the de facto ruler of the empire!

There is no name of the emperor, but he has the power of the emperor.

In an instant, Anse Verdas thought a lot, and the appearance of the golden throne in Rick's Palace appeared in front of him, and an indescribable feeling came to his mind.

He suddenly understood why Ren was so eager to be emperor.

However, the old wizard immediately regained his composure and snorted, "I just want to stop you from going astray, how could I have thought so much?"

"Don't the teacher want to sit on the golden throne?" Ren asked seriously.

"Not at all."

Anse Waldos shook his head without hesitation, and said indifferently: "Power will only affect my efficiency in exploring the truth of magic."

"I prefer to sit in the empire as the leader of the Modus faction. Even if I master the Supreme Council, I will not have the final say. I will fully respect the opinions of other Holy Soul Wizards, as long as it is a proposal that is beneficial to the empire. , I will put aside the factional prejudice and support it." He expressed his attitude very solemnly.

Isn't that collective responsibility?

Collective responsibility is actually collective irresponsibility, and there is no way to investigate if something goes wrong.

Ren shook his head secretly, and the eye of the soul confirmed that what the teacher said was the truth, and the teacher did not have the slightest interest in being the emperor.

"Look, teacher, this is the difference between us." Ren smiled and said: "You want to stay away from power, you even hate power a little bit, but you have to accept it. And I like power, so I will work hard for it , take it into your own hands.”

After a pause, he stared into Anseworth's eyes and said softly:

"Power is a sharp sword, and if you don't hold it firmly, it will fall into the wrong hands and make a big mistake."

Anse Waldos frowned. "You think I'm the wrong person?"

"Of course not, but it's not the most correct person either." Ren quickly explained that he didn't mean to offend the teacher, "It's just that the teacher's ambition is not here, and he can't exert the most powerful power of this sword."

Anse Waldos did not refute, it was tacit consent.

Ren's face showed confidence, and his tone was a little higher, "Teacher, I think I am the most suitable owner of this sword. I am confident that I will lead the empire to an unprecedented height, and all the people of the empire will benefit from it. , they will have a better life, a safer environment, more advanced technology, and greater national strength..."

"I want to create the most powerful empire in the history of Alanus!"

With this ambition, Anse Waldos has no doubt that Rennes does have this ability.

He persuaded: "You can govern the empire even if you are not an emperor. The Modu faction and I will fully support it and will never hold you back."

"It's different, teacher."

This is the second time Ren has said this today. He said sincerely: "A lot of things I want to do must be promoted by absolute power. As long as the Supreme Council exists for a day, I can't let it go."

"Maybe the Modus faction can control the Supreme Council now, but the future is uncertain."

"If there are new holy soul wizards, there is no need for a few, only one, if you enter the Supreme Council and fall to the other two factions, the teacher will lose control."

"Master Oroin may also regret it. After all, he has agreed with Master Kenan's balance theory for more than a thousand years."

"There are also several holy soul wizards of the Modu faction, who are not so reliable. The Duke of Red Rock is not less ambitious than me, and he is not willing to be suppressed. He will definitely use various means to turn against the members of the Modu faction, the Duke of Silver Star. That defection was a big lesson."

"These are destabilizing factors."

"And I need a very stable empire pattern that lasts at least 20, 30, or even 100 years before those grand blueprints can be realized."

Ren concluded: "So I must overthrow the Supreme Council and hold the supreme power of the empire in the name of the emperor! If my empire's development plan can be realized, on that day, the Golden Throne will also be the reward I deserve for these achievements. "

After Anse Waldos finished listening, he didn't speak for a long time.

He got up and stood in front of the window again, looking down at the Floating City and Modu. After a long time, he said, "None of these reasons can convince me to support you. You can't destroy the stability of the empire for thousands of years because of your ambitions, and cause many innocent people to lose their lives. life."

Ren also walked over.

He faced Anseworth's profile with no trace of frustration in his eyes. Instead, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if seeing the dawn of victory, and said, "Teacher, I don't want your support."

Anse Waldos turned around and looked puzzled.

Ren continued: "There is only one thing I want from the teacher, and that is no objection. No support, no objection, and no participation. The teacher just doesn't know anything."

Anse Waldos shook his head, but was stopped by Ren, "Teacher, please listen to me."

The real meaning of this sentence is: listen to my offer!

Ren was suddenly summoned by the Supreme Council, and was caught off guard by Anse Verdas, but after the meeting, he had already thought of the countermeasures for a few minutes while he was alone waiting for the teacher to come out, and now he finally wanted to show it all.

"As long as the teacher promises not to intervene and let me execute as planned, then all the remaining debts of Wezeland Floating City will be borne by me, and I promise to pay it off within 20 years." Ren gave the first a condition.

Anse Waldos raised his eyebrows, "The Floating City still owes a total of about fifty million gold shields, can you still get it?"

Wren is clear about Weatherland's debt situation.

The original debt totaled close to 100 million gold shields. Before helping Emily recover her country, she received rewards and loot discounted at about 45 million gold shields. In the past three years, Wezeland has opened up resources and reduced expenditures, and the number of lost wizards has not been filled. , the expenditure was low, and the floating city had a slight surplus, so several million gold shields were returned.

Even so, the remaining fifty million gold shields is an astronomical figure.

With the increase in the number of wizards, expenses rose year by year, and the repayments became less and less every year, from surplus to deficit, and it is likely that the debt will rise again.

This is an issue that has been a constant headache for Anse Waldos.

Fifty million gold shields can build half a floating city, and Ren actually promised to pay it off within 20 years, which made him a little unbelievable.

However, Ren looked relaxed and said with a smile: "Teacher, I'm so poor now that only money is left."

He didn't even know how much money he had.

That big raid of Menzobrai alone had 30 million gold shields, extorted 5 million from the dwarf king, and sold the blood of sunlight to the blood elves every month to make millions of dollars, and a few years ago. Motorcycles, cameras and record companies are also paying more and more dividends.

There is also the taxation of the Glamorgan Territory; the Principality of Augustus introduced mechanical technology, the productivity exploded, and the mithril mine and various minerals were mined wildly; the bullet production line cooperated with the Mechanical Union; it worked...

There is a large amount of wealth collected by Kersted in the half plane, which has not been counted until now.

Most importantly, a floating city is about to be sold!

Even though Ren is already desperately spending money, Gotham's urban construction costs flow out like water, and Lei Zhu Tianbing is building weapons and equipment every day, consuming a lot of materials.

But the money is still not spent, but more and more.

Moreover, the underground treasures of Abraken have not yet been excavated, and the wealth that may be buried in this relic of the most glorious elven city in the second era is even more incalculable.

Paying off 50 million gold shields in 20 years is simply easy.

In his view today, the problems in the world that can be solved with money are not problems.

Ren's wealthy appearance immediately shocked Anse Waldos.

Even though he is a world-renowned Holy Soul Wizard who has lived for more than a thousand years, he has never seen a man as arrogant as Ren, who is willing to pay 50 million gold shields just for himself!

If Wezeland's debts can be settled in twenty years...

Anse Waldos's mind was shaken.

Ren was keenly aware of this change, he laughed secretly in his heart, and continued to say: "Teacher, paying off the debt is only my first promise. If I succeed in ascending the golden throne, within half a year, I will confer the title of duke and fief of the teacher. "

"This fief will serve as Wezeland's source of income and support the expenses of Wezeland wizards."

"Also, if the teacher doesn't want to manage the territory because of the trouble, I can do it for you without any compensation. If the territory is in short supply, I will fill it up by myself. The teacher only needs to do two things every year, reviewing the accounts and collecting money, and you don't have to worry about other things. ,how?"

Anse Waldos was finally moved.

Resolving debts and providing fiefs as a source of income, Wezeland’s development will no longer have to worry about, and there is no need to do anything. If you master the floating city yourself, you will not be afraid of being seized. You can focus on researching magic. These two promises are simply a cake. So comfortable in the mouth.

He finally understood what Ren said just now, everyone has weaknesses and prices.

Holy Spirit Wizard is no exception.

Even though he knew that Ren was taking advantage of his weakness and offered a price to buy it, Anse Verdas couldn't help but imagine that if he agreed...

The old wizard was silent, his face did not fluctuate.

But Ren's soul eye saw that the teacher's emotions were struggling fiercely, and two words were clearly written on the old face: Really fragrant!

After a long while, Ancivordaus asked softly: "Ren, can you guarantee that innocent people will not be hurt in the process of proclaiming emperor?"

"cannot."

Ren shook his head, "This is a top-down seizure of power. I can only guarantee that I will try to limit the scope of influence to the extraordinary, and will not take the initiative to launch wars and harm the civilians of the empire."

He knew that the teacher had already tended to agree.

As long as you say a few empty words, it is possible to deceive the teacher into agreeing with the situation, but still decide to tell the truth, the struggle has reached the point of life and death, and it is beyond your control.

Anse Waldos looked at Renne seriously and sighed, "You are very honest and didn't lie to me with a lie."

"I will never deceive the teacher, not in the past, not now, nor in the future." Ren replied sternly: "The teacher can always trust me."

Anse Waldos couldn't help moving: "I hope you remember what you said today."

Ren was overjoyed.

This sentence means that the teacher agrees.

Sure enough, Anse Waldos said lightly: "Do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't harm Wezeland's interests, I will strictly abide by the agreement of not supporting, not opposing, not participating, and will not disclose it to anyone. In our conversation today, you must deliver on those two promises, not to mention hurting innocent people."

"Yes, teacher." Ren nodded solemnly.

In fact, no objection from the teacher is the greatest support for him.

Otherwise, as long as the teacher gives an order, without the votes of the imperial congressmen from the Modu faction, it is impossible for him to be elected as the consul, and the plan to become the emperor will go bankrupt at the first step.

Anse Waldos was also very clear about this, and sighed inwardly, feeling ashamed in his heart.

This transaction with Ren is against his own principles, but Ren's conditions were too good, and he finally failed to resist the temptation of interests.

Heart!

Anse Verdas laughed at himself, looking at Ren, who had always respected him very much, and couldn't help reminding: "Ren, if one day you become the lord of the empire and hold supreme power, you must not be corrupted by it. It is said that power is a sharp sword, and it is necessary to be the master of the sword, instead of being controlled by the sword and becoming its slave.”

"Remember the teacher's teaching." Ren was solemn.

"Go back." Anse Verdas waved his hand, looking a little tired. "The meeting lasted all night. I'm a little tired and need to rest."

Ren knew that he was not physically tired, but mentally tired.

"Then I won't disturb the teacher's rest." After that, Ren saluted and resigned.

Anse Waldos sensed that Ren had teleported back to Glamorgan Castle, and he happened to be standing in front of the window, where he could see Glamorgan's territory. He stared at the castle below in the distance, and the pyramid-shaped floating city that landed on the ground, his eyes were complicated, and he didn't move for a long time.

Ren directly teleported to his study and let out a sigh of relief.

He really didn't expect that the teacher would guess his plan, and as soon as he knocked down the floating city, he would make a surprise attack.

Fortunately, I reacted fast enough and had enough chips. I had thought about how to win the teacher's support before, and this was how I passed the test smoothly.

As long as the teacher doesn't stop it, the next few steps are much easier.

Ren sat in the study and pondered over it.

Just now, I argued with the teacher to compromise, and finally reached a deal. From the beginning to the end, I did not mention the most important factor, that is, the gods.

Are the three gods of the empire willing to see themselves become emperors?

Obviously, the teacher has misunderstood this. During the siege of Master Ogulevi, the goddess of magic showed her favor in front of the holy soul wizards, making the teacher think that she had the acquiescence of the goddess.

Actually not.

But Ren was not worried about that.

Although the empire is a state of three gods, it is actually a kingdom of wizards, as long as the support of the goddess of magic is enough~www.wuxiaspot.com~ On the premise of not jeopardizing the belief, the earth mother goddess and the goddess of justice have great influence over the imperial government. Change doesn't matter very much and has no right to speak.

Even the **** of justice is more than happy to see an emperor in the empire.

The full name of the God of Justice is "God of Justice and Order". The country under the emperor's rule is closer to the priesthood of "order", which is conducive to spreading belief and developing believers.

As for how to please the goddess of magic and gain her approval, Ren had a plan and a reason for it very early, and made an experiment in the Principality of Augustus. All the gods want is believers and the power of faith, and nothing else.

When the time comes, he will be able to convince the goddess of magic with more than 80% confidence.

While thinking about it, footsteps sounded outside the door.

The door of the study was knocked gently, and Viola's somewhat urgent voice came in: "Ren, are you inside?"
