A dense brown curly hair looks quite rich against the black velvet cloak embroidered with plum blossoms. The gold-toned patterns on the snow-white vest flashed under the colorful light of glass on both sides. He held a short scepter in his left hand and his right hand habitually put on the armrest of the seat, but just halfway it was placed, he suddenly found that he was sitting on a bench, so he had to wave to everyone awkwardly.
"Everyone, there is no need to be polite. I believe you all know that this city has experienced an unprecedented crisis before!" The fat man in front of him must have his own uniqueness as a successful usurper. The embarrassment seemed to have never happened before, and he began to speak without changing his face.
"I announced this regrettable news with a heartbreaking heart. Our respected Earl Anthony actually colluded with cultists and tried to destroy the entire city! Almost, the old Earl's decades of efforts were burned!" Antoine said with a deep expression, and the melon-eating nobles below were in an uproar.
"Silent!" Antoine used the short scepter in his hand to knock on his stool leg, focusing everyone's attention again: "The fact that little Anthony colluded with cultists was discovered by my spies, but he was so angry that he immediately launched their sinful plans with the cultists in advance! If the demon hunter, Lord Gangze, and Lord Richard from the Temple of War, were not here in time, I'm afraid he would have..."
As he said that, Antoine took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears as if he was accustomed to the point of sniffing.
The nobles below whispered together, while the representatives of the church all looked at their noses and their hearts, pretending to be confused with their understanding.
Seeing that no one jumped out to question Antoine's statement, the nobles below slowly became quiet. After all, Antoine ruled Antoine's Port for so many years, and Sima Zhao's heart was already known to everyone. This time, maybe it was because of collusion with the church, leaving the Antoine family aside, and planning to make a new gate.
Any little noble who was loyal to the Anthony family had either been exiled to the Black Forest Development and Gathering Place in recent years or was killed by Antoine for an opportunity. Most of the remaining people in the city were bought or those who didn't care who would sit in the lord.
Seeing that the lower part slowly calmed down, Antoine snorted with satisfaction and continued his performance: "In the conflict, the culprit, Anthony Little, and the leader of the cultist, fought stubbornly and was eventually completely eliminated. I deeply condolences for Anthony Little's death. It was because I neglected my education to him that allowed him to go so far on this road of no return."
Antoine stood up as she said, "In order to express her punishment for myself, I will give up the position of acting lord, and all the nobles in the city will elect a respected candidate!"
Not only the nobles below were in a state of excitement, but even the demon hunter was surprised. Did this fat man find his conscience?
But I didn't find my apprentice blowing her nose next to me, humming, playing hard to get!
I don’t know when Vitoriya, who came to Xu Yichen from behind, saw Xu Yichen’s expression and asked in confusion: “What do you think he has other purpose?”
"Absolutely! It's too obvious. Look at the heads of the temple representatives, there is no change in expressions at all. We must have discussed with the fat man in advance. He will definitely be the one who recommended it in the end!" Xu Yichen looked at Vitoliya with a caring for the mentally retarded child, feeling that her muscles must have grown into her brain. Can't you tell such a straightforward routine?
It wasn't just Vitoriya, but even his teacher, Gangze, looked at him with confusion. It would be fine if the indigenous people had no knowledge, Vitoriya, you are so straightforward. Xu Yichen couldn't help but feel that the public education of EU is probably not a pill. It seems that the EU's reform trend must continue to blow! Otherwise, how can you be competitive in modern society?
"You see, he wanted to usurp power. After so many years, the little Count was suddenly killed! Although it wasn't really his job, if he took over the position of the lord, who would still believe that the little Count was not killed by him in the future? He took the blame! Now that he asked everyone to elect together, the church obviously supports him. Who dares to be elected except him? When he is elected and the church is promoting it, will it become an elected lord?" Xu Yichen explained carefully: "Add a layer of fig leaf, and many legal matters will be easy to pass in the future."
"Cough, cough cough!" A cough sound came from the side, interrupting the time of understanding of the demon hunters Gangze and Vitoriya. Xu Yichen looked up and found that his voice was a little louder. Everyone in the hall was looking at him quietly. Pastor Richard was clearing his throat awkwardly.
Antoine, who was speaking with a short scepter on the stage, also had an awkward smile on her face, pretending not to hear what the people below said, forcing her to continue: "In this conspiracy to thwart cultists, help from all parties is essential. On behalf of this city, I will express my highest respect to you!"
Xu Yichen smiled apologetically at the people around him, Alas? Why did he see several noble people dressed in a sudden enlightenment? What's the situation? Did you really plan to go with the voting for the lord before? Why did you live so big?
When Antoine shouted on the stage, "Serris Warrior from the distant Eastern continent, Xu Yichen!", the keen-sensible apprentice of the Demon Hunter surprised to capture the several paladins standing guard around him, trembling unnaturally. Although Xu Yichen knew that he was a fair reputation among paladins and priests, they were all aimed at his fighting style. How could he feel like he was about to cross the street?
Xu Yichen's young appearance makes it hard to think of saving the city by himself. The impressive behavior of killing the Chaos Pioneer has attracted a lot of stunning gazes from the church representatives, but Antoine, who was sitting upright on the bench, looked a little stiff.
"Dear Agent Lord..." Xu Yichen emphasized the emphasis on the word Agent. On the way, his teacher had already told him that the Demon Hunter's action was a secret action. Don't talk about what happened in the Chaos Crack. For ordinary people, it is very dangerous to know too much about Chaos.
This time, the fact that the little lord and the cultists colluded with each other and secretly kidnapped the population of the slums for blood sacrifice, intending to use the power of the evil god to restore the glory of the Anthony family, but was beaten up by the church.
In private, the church and the Demon Hunter reached an agreement. The Demon Hunter did not pursue the church's secret support for the usurpation of power, and agreed that Antoine would become the new lord, while the new lord would fully support the Demon Hunter organization, and at this conference on merit rewards, sufficient benefits must be made to satisfy the Demon Hunter.
