Chapter 563 Future Archon(1/2)
"Please say, consul." Ancivodaus nodded slightly.
Gneus said seriously: "The Supreme Council granted me the duty to supervise the floating city of Nether, which is a great honor, but I personally may assume such an important responsibility."
His words were earnest and looked fearful, as if he was really worried that he would not be competent.
But all the smart people present were there.
Politicians never think that the power in their hands is too great, and they will never think that it is not enough unless it is a hot potato, and the benefits brought by the power in their hands are far greater than the disadvantages.
Obviously, Gneus is not really incompetent.
He just weighed the pros and cons and found that overseeing Naser's floating city was a thankless errand, and he might have heard about what happened in the Supreme Parliament. The Duke of Redstone was sure to win Naser's will, and it was very likely that he offended the new giant for this.
Ancivodaus frowned, "This is a duty granted to the consul, not to you."
This sentence changed Gneus's face slightly.
Obviously, Ancivodaus was dissatisfied with himself and directly hinted that if he was willing to take responsibility, the next consul could be replaced. Without the support of the Modu faction, he could not continue to serve as the consul, and could only say goodbye to the fourth term.
"I understand that public office and individuals cannot be confused." Gneus quickly explained: "Master Ansi, I am not refusing, but I have an immature proposal. Please ask Master Ansi to consult."
"Well, you said." Ancivodaus responded lightly.
"I want to set up a supervision group with the consul as the group leader. The masters of the Supreme Council each sent a group member to jointly supervise the operation and accounts of the Naser floating city. Through the group members, the Supreme Council can grasp Naser's movements at any time." Gneus asked carefully: "Master Ansi, what do you think?"
Renn next to him heard this and secretly applauded the consul.
This is not an "immature proposal", but a thoughtful idea, even if it was not what Gneus himself thought of, his staff were giving advice.
The supervision team was established to share the pressure of the consul, but the power did not decrease much.
This group is like a low-end version of the Supreme Council, and as the group leader, the consul has the initiative in the group operation and has a higher voice than any group member.
The best part is that the Holy Soul Wizards will not object, because except for the Duke of Redstone, what they really want is not "supervision", but to prevent being held by the Duke of Redstone.
Even if the Duke of Redstone opposes, it is useless. If you have anger, you cannot exhale the consul alone.
This move is so wonderful.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a person who can be re-elected for three terms of consuls!
Ancivodaus thought for a while, nodded and smiled, "This proposal is good. Consul, you have already told the Grey Eagle?"
The Grey Eagle is the Duke of the Grey Eagle, Master Tim Kennan.
"Yes, Master." Gneus heard that Ancivodaus had acquiesced, but he still said calmly, "The Duke also agreed with this proposal. He told me that this requires the consent of the master to be passed."
He became the consul because he was recommended by Master Tim Kennan, so it is understandable to report to him first.
Ancivodaus was not angry about it.
He looked smiling, "Where is Kelstone?"
Gneus was a little embarrassed. The only thing this proposal hurt was the interests of the Redstone Duke. If he dared to come to the Redstone Duke to make a proposal in person, he would probably get a Nine-ring soul shock.
The three factions of the Supreme Council, as long as two factions agree, things will basically be stable.
There is no need to go to the Duke of Redstone to ask for trouble.
Then things are final, and the Duke of Redstone can only accept it with his nose and has to send someone to the supervision team to avoid being marginalized in his voice about Nathor.
"Please ask Master Ansi to agree." Gneus stood up and asked.
"good."
Ancivodaus did not hesitate, "I will communicate with the Grey Eagle." He looked at Genieus and praised: "Consul, you are doing this love well."
"The master is too much." Gneus said with joy on his face and extremely humble words: "The will of the Supreme Council is the will of the consul. I just want to serve you masters better. This is my duty."
Ancivodaus smiled without saying a word.
Rennes and Ronnie looked at each other. The consul was such a powerful figure who could actually influence the resolutions of the Supreme Council.
Gneus suddenly said again: "Master Ansi, I want to invite Speaker Rennes to the supervision group. What do you think?"
His eyes fell on Rennes, full of expectations.
Rennes himself was a little confused. Gneus would never make an invitation without reason, and he did not want to interfere in the matter of Naser's floating city. This may be a bad thing for others, but for himself, it is accompanied by huge danger.
The supervision team's office must be in the capital Northrier.
The emperors were all the territory of the Nethers. Rennes had not been there yet. As a member of the Imperial Parliament, he had been absent for three consecutive years. Fortunately, this seat of the parliament was bound to the Earl Glamorgan, otherwise he would have been removed from the list.
When you go to the imperial capital, you may have a head-on conflict with the Duke of Red Stone.
When he threatened the Duke of Redstone that day, he was not because he hugged the goddess's thigh, but because he was really not afraid of the Duke of Redstone.
But this does not mean that I will be facing the Duke of Redstone immediately.
His strength is in a period of rapid growth. Every day, the gap with the Duke of Redstone will narrow a little, and the later the conflict will break out, the better.
It's still too early now.
Ancivodaus naturally understood this truth, but he pondered for a while and said, "Ren, you can make your own decision."
Renn was about to refuse, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
The profound meaning behind this supervision group is by no means simple. It is a platform and a stage for power, like a shrinking version of the Supreme Council. All members assigned by the Holy Soul Wizards must be the most outstanding students or wizards under their sect.
It can be foreseen that supervision teams will exist for a long time in the future, attracting the attention and game of all forces.
Entering the supervision team, you will be on the stage of the Imperial Political Center.
It would be fine if you are a person who does not compete for fame and fortune, and you don’t have to care about it, but if you are a person with political ambitions, you must not miss this opportunity.
Renn knew his future plans very well.
The status of the imperial capital Northreil is so important. It is a place that cannot be avoided. It will go to it sooner or later, and even must stay in the future.
Gneus' invitation was a temptation.
The teacher could tell at a glance, so he let himself make a decision.
Seeing that both of them were waiting for their response, Speaker Ronnie also understood, and his expression was still calm, like an outsider.
His mind changed rapidly. This was not an easy decision. It had a great impact on his future plans. The time nodes were not appropriate. Many things were not prepared and were a little hurry. But to do something, the more important the matter was, the more decisive it was. He had never fully prepared the plan.
Risks have always coexisted with interests.
In the imperial capital, there will indeed be a head-on conflict with the Redstone Duke in advance. However, even if he tried his best to avoid it, the Redstone Duke's hostility would not be eliminated.
Smart people understand one thing: you must kill the enemy at the weakest time.
The Duke of Redstone will definitely not be so stupid that he will let himself become stronger. It will take revenge after he is promoted to the Holy Soul Wizard. It is useless to avoid it.
It’s better to use yourself as bait to attract most of the attention of the Redstone Duke.
In this way, the possibility of Glamorgan and the Principality of Augustus being targeted will be reduced.
The Duke of Redstone is also very clear about this.
If he doesn't want to anger the goddess, he is unlikely to take action himself. As long as he doesn't face the Holy Soul Wizard above level 30, Renn won't be too worried, and there will definitely be no problem in saving his life.
It is an excellent opportunity to start with the supervision team and reach the political center of the capital.
He immediately made a decision.
Ren nodded quietly and said softly: "Thank you for your invitation from the consul. I am willing to join the supervision team."
His voice was not loud, but the meaning behind it was extremely heavy.
Ancivodaus was not surprised. He seemed to have known that Rennes would agree, but Ronnie shook his head slightly and sighed in his heart, not agreeing with Rennes' choice.
"Welcome Speaker Renne to the imperial capital!"
Gneus smiled on his face, and he could hardly hide his joy. He said eagerly: "When Speaker Rennes arrives in the imperial capital, you must notify me."
"good."
Renne responded simply and neatly, and he already understood Genieus's intentions.
The consul is preparing for his next term.
Master Ogulevi disappeared, President Sabra was promoted to the Holy Spirit, and with one decline and the other increased, the Modus sect gained the upper hand in the Supreme Council. A few years later, the consul's vote will be voted on for the change of leadership. At that time, as long as Master Ansi nodded and Master Tim Kennan continued to support him, he could firmly sit in the throne of the consul, complete his last term, and retire successfully.
There is actually another detail about the establishment of the supervision team.
There are many Holy Soul Wizards in the Supreme Council who are alone, without students, without family, or unwilling to interfere in this matter, and give up sending people to the supervision team. After a rough calculation, Master Euroin, Master Wantusri* Huohuai, Duke of Purple Flame, and Duke of Black Robe, these four are almost certain to give up.
The two of them are balanced, and the two are Nethers.
Only the Holy Soul Wizards of the Modu Sect have floating cities, academy and a tower. Then, the members of the supervision team will be mainly the Modu Sect, reaching five!
Recommended, [app] is really good, it is worth installing. After all, you can cache reading and read offline!
In addition, Gneus secretly surrendered, as long as he had a slight tendency, the Modu faction took over the power to supervise the floating city of Nesser.
The teacher knew this interest, so he simply agreed.
Master Tim Kennan actually agreed. Needless to say, it must be Gneus who pushed behind the scenes, promised conditions, or exchanged something else.
As for offending the Duke of Redstone, it doesn't matter.
Gneus gained support from two factions, and it was useless to lead several Holy Soul Wizards of the Nether Sect to oppose it. Anyway, as long as you are elected, this is his last term. You don’t have to consider the future anymore, and you don’t have to worry about it.
To be continued...
