"The teacher is the one closest to the Golden Throne!"
Anse Verdaus looked astonished, and instantly understood the meaning of Renn's words. If Rehn agrees to enter the Supreme Council, the Mordu faction will stably have six votes, and Oroin, who is already very close, will have more than half of the votes.
As a result, he will fully control the Supreme Council and become the de facto ruler of the empire!
There is no emperor's name, but he has the emperor's power.
In an instant, Anci Verdaus 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 Renn wanted to be emperor so much.
However, the old wizard immediately recovered his calm and snorted coldly, "I just want to prevent you from going astray. How can I think of so much?"
"Doesn't the teacher want to sit on the golden throne?" Renn 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 Mordu faction. Even if I control the Supreme Council, I will not be alone in the decision. I will fully respect the opinions of other holy spirit wizards, as long as it is a proposal that is beneficial to the empire. , I will put aside factional prejudices and support them." He solemnly stated his attitude.
Isn't this the collective responsibility system?
Collective responsibility means that the collective is not responsible, and there is no way to pursue it if something goes wrong.
Ren shook his head secretly, and the eyes of the soul confirmed that the teacher was telling the truth, and the teacher did not have the slightest interest in being an emperor.
"Look, teacher, this is the difference between us." Renn smiled and said: "You want to stay away from power, and even hate power, but you have to accept it. And I like power, so I will strive for it. , Take it in your own hands."
After a pause, he stared into the eyes of Anse Waldos and whispered:
"Power is a sharp sword. If you don't hold it firmly, you will fall into the wrong hands and cause big mistakes."
Anse Waldos frowned. "Do you think I am the wrong person?"
"Of course not, but it's not the most correct person." Renn quickly explained that he did not intend to offend the teacher. "It's just that the teacher is not here, and he can't exert the most powerful power of this sword."
Anse Waldos did not refute, which is tantamount to acquiescence.
Rennes had a confident expression on his face, and his tone of voice was raised a bit, "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, safer environment, more developed technology, and stronger national power..."
"I want to create the most powerful empire in Ellen's history!"
With this ambitious ambition, Anse Waldos did not doubt that Rennes did have this ability.
He persuaded: "You can govern the empire if you don't be the emperor. The Modus faction and I will give our full support and will never hold you back."
"It's different, teacher."
This is the second time Rennes said this today, sincerely: "A lot of things I have to do must have absolute power to promote. As long as the Supreme Council exists for one day, I can't let it go."
"Perhaps the Mordu faction can control the Supreme Council now, but the future may be uncertain."
"If there are newly promoted holy soul wizards, there are not a few, just one. If you enter the Supreme Council and fall to the other two factions, the teacher will lose control."
"Master Oroin also has the possibility of repentance. After all, he has agreed with Master Kenan's balance theory for more than a thousand years."
"There are also a few holy soul wizards of the Mordu faction. They are not so reliable. The ambition of the Redstone Duke is no smaller than me, and he is absolutely unwilling to be suppressed. He will definitely use various means to counter the Mordu faction member, Lord Silver Star. That reversal was a big lesson."
"These are all unstable factors."
"And I need a very stable empire structure that will last for at least 20, 30, or even 100 years before those grand blueprints can be realized."
Rehn concluded: "So I must overthrow the Supreme Council and control the supreme power of the empire in the name of the emperor! If my empire development plan can be realized, by that day, the golden throne will be my reward for these achievements. "
After listening to it, Anse Verdus did not speak for a long time.
He got up and stood in front of the window, looking down at Floating City and Modu, before saying for a long time: "None of these reasons can convince me to support you. You can't destroy the stable situation of the empire that has lasted for thousands of years because of your ambitions, and cause many innocent people to lose. life."
Renn also walked over.
He faced Anse Verdous's profile with no 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 his head and looked, puzzled.
Rehn continued: "I have only one request for the teacher, and that is no objection. If you don't support, don't object, don't participate, the teacher just pretends that you don't know anything."
Anse Waldos shook his head, but was stopped by Ren, "Teacher, please listen to me."
The true meaning of this sentence is: listen to my offer!
Rennes was suddenly summoned by the Supreme Council and was caught off guard by Anse Waldos, but after the meeting, when he waited for the teacher to come out for a few minutes, he had already figured out the countermeasures, and finally showed it all at this moment.
"As long as the teacher agrees not to intervene and let me execute as planned, then all the remaining debts in Wezeland Floating City will be borne by me, and I promise to pay it off within twenty years." Rennes offered the number one. Conditions.
Anse Waldos raised his eyebrows. "The Floating City still owes a total of about 50 million gold shields. Can you still get it?"
Rennes is very clear about Wezeland's debt situation.
Originally owed a total of close to 100 million gold dongs. Previously, she helped Emily regain her country and received remuneration and loot discounts of about 45 million gold dongs. In the past three years, Wezeland has increased revenue and reduced expenditure, and the number of lost wizards has not been filled. , The expenditure was low, and the floating city had a slight surplus, so it paid back several million gold shields.
Even so, the remaining 50 million gold shields is an astronomical figure.
With the increase in the number of wizards, expenditures have risen year by year. In the future, the repayment of money will become less and less every year, and the surplus will turn into a deficit. It is very likely that the debt will rise again.
This is an issue that Anse Waldos has always had a headache.
50 million gold shields can build half of a floating city, and Renn actually packed the tickets and can pay it off in twenty years, which made him a little bit unbelievable.
However, Renn had a relaxed face and smiled: "Teacher, I am so poor that I only have money."
He also doesn't know how much money he has.
There were 30 million golden shields in the big raid of Mzoberlei alone, and five million were extorted from the dwarf king. The sale of the blood of the sun to the blood elves every month also earned millions of dollars, and it was invested a few years ago. Motorcycles, cameras and record companies are also paying more and more dividends.
There is also the taxation of the territory of Glamorgan; the Principality of Augustus introduced mechanical technology and exploded productivity, and frantically excavated mythril mines and various minerals; the bullet production line cooperated with the mechanical union; the madness potion studied by his own student Sparrowhawk was also Succeeded...
There is a large amount of wealth collected by Kolstad in the semiplane, and it hasn't had time to count it up to now.
Most importantly, a floating city is about to be sold!
Even if Renn is already spending money desperately, Gotham’s urban construction costs flow out like water, and Leizhu Heavenly Soldiers are 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 treasures that may be buried in the most glorious elven city ruins of the Second Age are even more unpredictable.
Paying off 50 million gold shields in twenty years is simply easy.
In his view today, the world's problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Rehn's wealthy appearance immediately shook Anse Verdous.
Even if he is a world-famous holy soul wizard, who has lived for more than a thousand years, he has never seen a person so moisturized as Rein, and he is willing to pay 50 million gold shields just for himself!
If Wezeland’s debt can be resolved within twenty years...
Anse Waldos's mind was shaken.
Ren keenly aware of this change, he smiled in his heart, and then said: "Teacher, paying off the debt is only my first promise. If I succeed in ascending the golden throne, within half a year, I will be able to confer the title and fief of the teacher as a duke. "
"This fief will serve as a source of income for Wezeland and support the expenses of Wezeland wizards."
"Also, if the teacher feels troublesome and doesn't want to manage the territory, I can do it for you without any payment. If the territory is short, I will fill it up. The teacher only needs to do two things every year, check the accounts and collect the money, and don't have to worry about other things. ,how?"
Anse Waldos was finally moved.
Solving debts and providing fiefdoms as a source of economic resources, Weizeland’s development has never had any worries, and there is no need to do anything. If you control the floating city by yourself, you can focus on studying magic. These two promises are nothing but pie. It's so comfortable in the mouth.
He finally understood what Renn said just now, everyone has weaknesses and prices.
The Holy Soul Wizard is no exception.
Even knowing that Rennes used his own weakness to offer the price to buy, Anse Verdaus could not help but imagine, if he agrees...
The old wizard was silent, his expression unchanged.
But Ren's soul eyes saw that the teacher's emotions were struggling fiercely, and two words fo clearly written on the old face: really fragrant!
After a long while, Anci Verdaus asked softly: "Ren, can you guarantee that innocent people will not be hurt in the process of proclaiming the emperor?"
"can not."
Ren shook his head, "This is a top-down seizure of power. I can only guarantee that I will try my best to limit the scope of influence to the extraordinary, and will not actively launch wars and harm the civilians of the Empire."
He knew that the teacher was actually inclined to agree.
Just say a few empty words, it is possible to deceive the teacher to agree with the trend, but still decided to tell the truth, the struggle is to the point of life and death, it is beyond your control.
Anse Waldos looked at Renne seriously and sighed: "You are very honest, and you didn't lie to me."
"I have never deceived the teacher. I didn't do it before, I won't now, and I won't be in the future." Rennes replied sternly: "The teacher can always trust me."
Anse Waldos couldn't help but moved: "I hope you remember what you said today."
Ren was overjoyed.
This sentence means that the teacher agreed.
Sure enough, Anse Verdous said indifferently: "Just do what you want. As long as it doesn't harm Wezeland's interests, I will strictly abide by the agreement of non-support, non-objection, and non-participation, and will not disclose it to anyone. In our dialogue today, you must honor those two promises, let alone hurt the innocent."
"Yes, teacher." Renn nodded solemnly.
In fact, the teacher's non-objection is his greatest support.
Otherwise, as long as the teacher gave an order, without a vote of the Mordu empire, he would not be elected as a consul, and his plan to become the emperor would go bankrupt in the first step.
Anse Waldos knew this too well, and sighed secretly, feeling ashamed.
This transaction with Renn violated his own principles, but Renn's conditions were so good that he finally failed to resist the temptation of profit.
Human heart!
Ansivdaus laughed at himself, looking at Renn, who respected him as always, and could not help but reminded: "Ren, if one day you become the lord of the empire and master the supreme power, you must not be corrupted by it. You too It is said that power is a sharp sword, and you should be the master of the sword, instead of being controlled by the sword and becoming its slave."
"Remember the teacher's teaching." Renn solemnly.
"You go back." Anse Verdaus waved his hand, his face looked a bit tired, "The meeting has been going on all night, and I am a little tired and need a rest."
Ren knew that he was not physically tired, but heart tired.
"Then I won't bother the teacher to rest." After speaking, Renn saluted and retired.
Anse Waldos sensed that Ren had teleported back to Glamorgan Castle, and he happened to stand at the angle of the window, and he could see the territory of Glamorgan. He stared at the castle in the distance below, and the pyramid-shaped floating city that fell on the ground, his eyes were complicated, and he didn't move for a long time.
Ren teleported directly 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 smashed the floating city, he would make a surprise attack.
Fortunately, I reacted fast enough and had enough chips. I used to think about how to win the support of the teacher, so I passed the test smoothly.
As long as the teacher doesn't stop it, the next few steps will be much easier.
Rehn sits in the study and thinks over and over.
Just now, I argued with my teacher to a compromise, and finally reached a deal. From the beginning to the end, I didn't mention one of the most important factors, that is, the gods.
Are the three gods of the empire willing to see themselves proclaiming themselves emperors?
Obviously, the teacher had misunderstood this. In that time, the encirclement and suppression of Master Ogulvi, the goddess of magic showed her pampering in front of the holy spirit wizards, making the teacher think that she had the acquiescence of the goddess.
Actually not.
But Renn is not worried about this.
Although the empire is a country of three gods, it is actually a kingdom of wizards. UU reading only needs the support of the goddess of magic.
On the premise of not jeopardizing beliefs, the Mother Earth and the God of Justice will not care much about the changes in the empire's political system, nor do they have the right to speak.
Even the **** of justice is more willing to see an emperor in the empire.
The full name of the **** of justice is "the **** of justice and order." The country under the emperor's rule is closer to the priesthood of "order", which is conducive to spreading faith and developing believers.
As for how to please the goddess of magic and win her approval, Renne had a plan and a reason for it early on, and he did an experiment in the Principality of Augustus. The gods want nothing more than the power of believers and faith, and nothing else.
When the time comes, two-pronged approach, he is more than 80% sure that he can convince the goddess of magic.
While thinking, footsteps sounded outside the door.
The door of the study was knocked lightly, and Viola's voice came in quite quickly: "Rene, are you inside?"
