Chapter 554: Exchange Floating City(1/2)
A hand slowly raised up beside Ancivodaus.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes gathered, looking at the person who raised his hands, wearing a magical robe with silver and blue, with a rich body and delicate appearance, and her black curly hair made her look very mature and feminine. There was a small mole on the corner of her mouth, which added to her charm.
Duke of Silver Star!
Her expression was originally a little struggling, but after raising her hand, she gradually became firm.
"Terreirsa, are you crazy?"
The Queen of Storm looked in disbelief. She never expected that her sister would betray everyone at this critical moment.
Both sisters have always been advancing and retreating together, and they are the most staunch supporters of Master Anxi.
He has been in the Supreme Parliament for more than three hundred years and has never wavered.
Ancivodaus was also caught off guard. Not only him, but Master Tim Kennan and most of the people present did not expect this scene.
Even the Duke of Purple Flame and the Duke of Black Robe cast a surprised look.
Rennes was also unprepared and his mind changed drastically.
The Duke of Redstone was too prepared this time. It was obvious that he had planned for decades and tried his best to make this vote pass.
He bribed both Masters Ouerin and Master Huo Huai.
Without the promotion of President Sabra, Master Ogulevi was dead, and there were only eleven people left in the Supreme Council, and he could pass the resolution with only six votes.
But now there are twelve people, so there are seven votes.
The lack of this vote can only be used to buy one from the members of the Modu Sect, which is extremely difficult. This is likely not within the plan of the Redstone Duke, and he must do all means.
Since the Duke of Redstone arrived at this plane, Renn realized that he had been using his psychic energy to communicate with several holy soul wizards, but he could not know the content.
Raine just now actually thought about who could betray the teacher.
Dean Sabra has just been promoted and was robbed this time, and he is a little dissatisfied with his teacher. If the Duke of Redstone noticed it, it was an opportunity to take advantage of it. The Prophet Medefer was previously entered into a dream by the Duke of Redstone, and it is hard to say whether he had left any tricks in his heart. The Queen of Storm's private life was chaotic and her relationship with many men was unclear. Maybe she was hooked up by the Duke of Redstone.
All three of them may have problems, and Rennes has no doubt about Duke of Silver Star.
He knew very well that there was a festival between the Duke of Silver Star and the Duke of Redstone. He saw the Duke of Redstone sneaking into Longshande with his own eyes a few years ago. He didn't know what he had planned, so he also told the Duke of Silver Star clearly.
The Duke of Redstone proposed to take charge of Naser Floating City. The Duke of Silver Star responded very fiercely, probably because of his jealousy and a clear standpoint.
However, in such a blink of an eye, Duke Silver Star's attitude changed drastically.
This made Renne unexpected.
He couldn't understand how the Duke of Redstone moved her?
The Duke of Redstone seemed to have known it for a long time, and finally showed a winning smile on his face. With the Duke of Silver Star vote, he won seven votes of approval, which would make the proposal pass a resolution!
"I'm not crazy."
Duke of Silver Star took a deep breath, raised his hands firmly to vote, expressing his agreement.
Ancivodaus tried his best to maintain his demeanor. He believed that the Duke of Silver Star would not betray him. He must have her reasons and asked softly: "I need your explanation."
However, Duke Silver Star glanced at Duke Redstone and did not speak.
The Queen of Storm had a hot temper and said angrily: "Derellsa, don't force me to do it."
Before she could answer, the Duke of Redstone spoke out, as if he was sure to win: "Ms. Silver Star, you can tell it truthfully, anyway, everyone will know sooner or later."
"He made a deal with me, and exchanged the Aero Cities of Paras for my Iola core and this support ticket." The Duke of Silver Star's tone was very complicated, a little excited, and some doubts, and more of it was tempting to refuse.
The faces of the Holy Soul Wizards became very exciting.
The Queen of Storm was silent.
What a big deal to exchange for a floating city for another vote of approval!
Several holy soul wizards couldn't help but look at the Duke of Redstone, marveling at his courage, financial resources, and decisive decision-making.
Even Renn must be admired!
With the current economy and prices of the empire, the cost of a floating city is about 80 million to 100 million gold shields. The most important and valuable core component is the "Core of Iola", which occupies half of the value of the entire floating city.
The Duke of Redstone gave his own floating city and obtained the core of Iora of Duke of Silver Star. The difference between the two is estimated to be around 40 million gold shields.
If we count the construction of the Pallas Floating City, the Duke of Redstone has been operating for more than two hundred years, and the countless buildings, commercial real estate, street layout, functional design and wizard towers in the city, these undemolished investments are worth at least 20 million gold shields.
The cumulative price difference of this transaction is more than 60 million gold shields!
Not to mention, Duke Silver Star got a built floating city in one step, and he didn't even have to worry about decoration, saving a lot of time and energy.
She couldn't resist such a great temptation.
Just raise your hand and you can earn more than 60 million gold shields, and it is the floating city you dream of. Who can refuse?
Renn thought from the perspective of others, and he would agree if he had agreed.
Of course, the Duke of Redstone did not lose. He lost the Pallas Floating City but obtained the higher value of Naser Floating City. He had more than 2,000 more wizards under his command, including more than ten legendary high-level wizards. His power increased several times, becoming the leader of the Naser Sect and becoming one of the three giants of the empire!
Whether it is actual value or political influence, Nesser is far above Pallas.
Moreover, the Duke of Redstone also obtained an Iola core.
With his financial resources and Naser's manpower and material resources, it will take only a few years to build a brand new floating city, which is definitely bigger and better than Pallas.
In short, the Duke of Redstone also made a fortune!
This is a win-win deal.
As for whether the Duke of Redstone will leave any secret doors in the floating city of Pallas, such as loopholes in control authority, and the grudges between the two, the Duke of Silver Star has no longer cared about it under the temptation of huge interests.
The Holy Soul Wizards were amazed by the fact that they thought about the causes and consequences.
This open plot is really impeccable.
If it were Master Ouerin or Master Huo Huai who was indifferent to fame and fortune, the floating city might not impress them, but this was the goal that Duke of Silver Star had worked hard for more than 300 years, and she could not refuse.
No one can stop the Duke of Redstone from getting Nesser's Floating City.
Ancivodaus sighed.
He could not blame the Duke of Silver Star, nor could he ask her to give up such great interests, otherwise the Modus would lose a hardcore ally.
The Queen of Storm returned to her calmness, thought that her sister's choice, and began to consider it from the Duke of Silver Star, reminding her: "Treirsa, aren't you afraid that he will turn against him afterwards?"
She stared at the Duke of Redstone with a sneer, "This guy is not a humble gentleman, and he can do anything despicable."
The Duke of Silver Star couldn't help but waver and put his hand down.
The Holy Soul Wizards also wondered whether the Duke of Redstone was cheating.
The Duke of Redstone looked stunned.
What he just said felt like shooting himself in the foot.
However, his reaction was also very quick and immediately whispered: "I, Kelstone, Karse, swear in the name of the goddess that as long as the Duke of Silver Star supports my proposal to take over the Floating City of Nesser and obtain approval, I will hand over the Floating City of Pallas to the Duke of Silver Star in exchange for her Iola core."
As soon as the oath fell, a light sound came from the void, which came into people's ears. This was a response from the goddess, indicating that she had heard it.
The Magic Goddess is indeed paying attention to this place.
Renn looked up, but saw nothing. The god's mind was unpredictable, but the goddess responded so quickly, which was actually a statement.
The goddess of magic guards the empire and is also the leader of the three gods of the empire. She has a high status and is respected by hundreds of millions of people. However, she rarely interferes in the internal affairs of the empire and rarely issues oracles to the Supreme Council. Most of the time, she is more like a fair and strict arbiter.
He did not explicitly support the Duke of Redstone in charge of Nasser, but he did not object.
This is enough.
"Ms. Silver Star, can you believe me now?" Duke Redstone smiled sincerely.
Duke Silver Star nodded with satisfaction, finally felt relieved, swearing in front of the goddess, giving Duke Redstone a hundred courage to repent.
So she raised her hand again and said, "I agree."
"I object." Ancivodaus said.
"I object." The prophet Medifer followed closely.
"I object." Dean Sabra hesitated for a moment and finally expressed his attitude. Although this vote could not change the result, it reflected his position of standing with the Modupai.
The Queen of Storm was in a dilemma, with her sister's floating city on one side and supporting Master Anxi's will. She shook her head and said, "I abstain."
In the end, only Master Tim Kennan was left without expressing his opinion.
He was still angry and smelly, and he was paired with a big bald head. His black beard on his chin was hard, forming a sharp inverted triangle, as if he wanted to use it to pierce people.
Anyone knows that this holy soul wizard is suppressing his anger, so it is best not to provoke him.
Although the results are destined, the process must be completed.
Tim Kenan was not voting for a long time, which made the Duke of Redstone a little anxious. He couldn't help but urge: "Master Kenan, the result of the proposal cannot be changed. Please don't make unnecessary delays."
"Are you anxious?" Tim Kennan sneered.
"Please leave some decentness to yourself." The Duke of Redstone said lightly: "The goddess is paying attention to us. The rules of the Supreme Council cannot be violated. Moreover, you asked me to initiate this proposal. The master should not forget it, right?"
This sentence seemed to slap Tim Kennan in the face, making his expression even more gloomy and a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
In today's vote, he is undoubtedly the biggest loser.
