"The teacher is the closest person to the Golden Throne!"

Ancivodaus looked stunned and instantly understood what Rennes said. If Rennes agreed to enter the Supreme Parliament, the Modus would have steadily owned six votes, and with the Euroin, which had already been very close, the votes would exceed half.

Thus, he would have completely controlled the Supreme Council and thus become the essential ruler of the empire!

He has no name as an emperor, but he has the power of an emperor.

In an instant, Ancivodaus 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 Renne wanted to be emperor so much.

However, the old wizard immediately returned to his calmness and snorted coldly, "I just wanted to stop you from going on the wrong path, how could I think of so many?"

"Don't the teacher want to sit on the Golden Throne?" Renn asked seriously.

"not at all."

Ancivodaus shook his head without hesitation and said calmly: "Power will only affect my efficiency in exploring the truth of magic."

"I prefer to be in charge of the empire as the leader of the Modu faction. Even if I have mastered the Supreme Council, I will not be entirely up to me. 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 factional prejudice and support it." He solemnly expressed his attitude.

Isn’t this the collective responsibility system?

Collective responsibility is actually that collective irresponsibility is that there is no problem, and no matter what happens, it cannot be investigated.

Renn shook his head secretly, and the Eye of Soul confirmed that what the teacher said was the truth, and the teacher did not have any interest in being an emperor.

"Teacher, look, that's the difference between us." Renne smiled and said, "You want to stay away from power, and you even hate power a little, but you have to accept it. And I like power, so I will try to get it and take it into my own hands."

He paused, stared into Ancivodaus's eyes and whispered:

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

Ancivodaus frowned, "Do you think I'm the wrong person?"

"Of course not, but not the most correct person." Renne quickly explained that he did not intend to offend the teacher, "it was just that the teacher was not determined to be here and could not exert the most powerful power of this sword."

Ancivodaus did not refute, which was equivalent to acquiesce.

Renn showed a confident look on his face, and his tone was raised a little bit, "Teacher, I think I am the most suitable master of this sword. I am confident that to lead the development of the empire to an unprecedented level, all the people of the empire will benefit from it, and they will have a better life, a safer environment, more developed technology, and a stronger national strength..."

"I want to create the most powerful empire in Alan's history!"

Ancivodaus did not doubt this ambition, and Rennes did not have the ability.

He persuaded: "If you don't become an emperor, you can govern the empire. The Modus and I will support you with all our strength and will never drag you down."

"Different, teacher."

This is the second time that Rennes said this today, sincerely saying: "Many things I have to do must be absolutely powered to promote. As long as the Supreme Council exists for one day, I cannot let go."

"Maybe the Modu faction can control the Supreme Council now, but the future is unsure."

"If there are new Saint Soul Wizards, there are not many. Only one is needed. Enter the Supreme Council and falls to the other two factions, and the teacher loses control."

"Master Ouerin also has the possibility of remorse. 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 Sect, which are not so reliable. The Duke of Redstone is not smaller than mine, and he will never be willing to be suppressed. He will definitely use various means to instigate members of the Modu Sect. The Duke of Silver Star's turnaround at the last minute was a big lesson."

“These are all unstable factors.”

"And I need a very stable empire pattern that lasts at least twenty years, thirty years or even one hundred years, to achieve those grand blueprints."

Renn concluded: "So I must overthrow the Supreme Council and take over 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 is also the reward I deserve to make these achievements."

After listening to it, Ancivodaus did not speak for a long time.

He stood up and stood in front of the window, looking down at the floating city and Modu, and after a long time he said, "None of these reasons can convince me to support you. You cannot destroy the stability of the empire for thousands of years because of your ambition, causing many innocent people to lose their lives."

Rennes walked over, too.

He looked at Ancivodaus' side face, without a trace of frustration in his eyes, but instead raised his lips slightly, as if he had seen the dawn of victory, and said, "Teacher, I don't want your support."

Ancivodaus turned his head and looked puzzled.

Renn continued: "I only have one thing I ask for from the teacher, that is, I don't object. I don't support, don't object, and don't participate. The teacher just treats it as if he doesn't know anything."

Ancivodaus shook his head, but was stopped by Renn, "Please listen to me, teacher."

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

Rennes was suddenly summoned by the Supreme Council and caught off guard by Ancivodaus, but after the meeting, he had already thought of a countermeasure when the teacher came out alone for the few minutes after the meeting, and he finally wanted to show it all at this moment.

"As long as the teacher promises not to interfere and lets me execute as planned, I will bear all the remaining debts in the Villeland Floating City, and I promise to pay them off within twenty years." Rennes offered the first condition.

Ancivodaus raised his eyebrows, "Floating City still owes about 50 million gold shields in total, can you still pay it?"

Rennes' debt to Wizerland is clear.

The total debt was nearly 100 million gold shields. Previously, he helped Emily's country to restore his country, and received a discount of about 45 million gold shields. In the past three years, Vizerland has increased its revenue and reduced expenditures. The number of wizards lost has not been filled, and the expenditure is low. The floating city has a slight surplus, so it has paid back several million gold shields.

Even so, the remaining 50 million gold shields is an astronomical figure.

As the number of wizards increases, expenses rise year by year, and the annual repayment becomes less and less, turning from surplus to deficit, and debts are likely to rise again.

This is an issue that Ancivodaos has been having a headache.

Half a floating city with 50 million gold shields can be built, but Rennes actually promised to pay it off within twenty years, which made him a little unbelievable.

However, Renn smiled with a relaxed look on his face, "Teacher, I am so poor that I have only money left."

He didn't know how much money he had.

The plunder of Mosobula alone included 30 million gold shields, extorted five million from the Dwarf King, and sold Sunlight Blood to the Blood Elf every month to make millions of inputs. There were also motorcycles, cameras and record companies invested a few years ago, and the dividends were also paid more and more.

There are also taxes in the Glamorgan territory; the Principality of Augustus introduced mechanical technology, productivity explosion, and the crazily digging of Mithril and various minerals; the bullet production line cooperated with the mechanical union; the crazy speed potion studied by his own student Sparrowhawk was also successful...

The large amount of wealth collected by Colested is placed in the semi-plane, and it is not time to count it yet.

The most important thing is to sell a floating city soon!

Even though Rennes was already spending money desperately, Gotham's urban construction costs flowed out like water, and Lei Zhutian Bing was building weapons and equipment every day, consuming a lot of materials.

But the money is still too much to spend, but it is getting more and more.

Moreover, the underground treasure of Eberakan has not been excavated, and the wealth that may be buried in this most brilliant elven city in the Second Era is even more incalculable.

It's easy to pay off 50 million gold shields in twenty years.

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

Rennes' wealthy and arrogant look immediately shocked Ancivodaus.

Even though he was a world-famous Holy Soul Wizard, who lived for more than a thousand years, he had never seen such a rich man as Rennes. He was willing to pay 50 million gold shields just for his own words!

If Weizeland's debt can be settled within twenty years...

Ancivodaus's mind was shaken.

Renn noticed this change keenly, laughed in his heart, and continued to say: "Teacher, paying off debts is just my first promise. If I successfully ascend to the Golden Throne, within half a year, I will be awarded the title of duke and fief of the teacher."

"This fiefdom will serve as a source of economics for Weizeland and support the expenses of Weizeland's wizards."

"And if the teacher feels it is troublesome and doesn't want to manage the territory, I can do it on my behalf and do not charge any compensation. If the territory is deficit, I will fill it personally. The teacher only needs to do two things every year, review the accounts and collect money, and there is no need to worry about other things anymore. How about it?"

Ancivodaus was finally moved.

Solving debts and providing fiefs as a source of income, Vizerland's development has no worries since then, and he has no need to do anything. He is not afraid of being seized by the floating city himself. He can focus on studying magic. These two promises are as comfortable as feeding the cake to his mouth.

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

The Holy Soul Wizard is no exception.

Even though he knew that Rennes was taking advantage of his weakness and offered a purchase price, Ancivodaus still couldn't help but imagine that if he agreed...

The old wizard remained silent, his face fluctuated.

But Renn's soul eye saw that the teacher's emotions were struggling fiercely, and two words were clearly written on his old face: It smells so good!

After a while, Ancivodaus asked softly: "Ren, can you guarantee that you will not hurt innocent people during the process of becoming emperor?"

"cannot."

Renn 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 among extraordinary people, and will not actively launch wars and harm the civilians of the Empire."

He knew that the teacher had actually tended to agree.

Just say a few empty words, you may deceive the teacher into agreeing, but you still decide to tell the truth. If the struggle reaches the point of life and death, it is not something you can control.

Ancivodaus looked at Renne seriously and sighed: "You are honest and didn't lie to me with lies."

"I never deceived the teacher, I didn't know before, I didn't know now, and I won't know in the future." Renn replied seriously: "Teacher can always trust me."

Ancivodaus couldn't help but feel moved: "I hope you remember what you said today."

Rennes was overjoyed.

This sentence means that the teacher agrees.

Sure enough, Ancivodaus said lightly: "Do whatever you want. As long as you don't harm the interests of Wizelland, I will strictly abide by the agreement that does not support, oppose, and do not participate, and will not disclose our conversation today to anyone. You must fulfill those two promises, let alone hurt innocent people."

"Yes, teacher." Renn nodded seriously.

In fact, if the teacher does not object, it means the greatest support for himself.
