Chapter 44: Spoils rally

　　 A dense brown curly hair, under the black velvet cloak embroidered with plum blossoms, looks quite rich, and the bronzing patterns on the snow-white waistcoat flicker under the glazed light on both sides. He was holding a short scepter in his left hand, and his right hand habitually puts on the armrest of the seat, but just halfway through it, he suddenly found that he was sitting on a bench, so he waved at everyone embarrassingly.
"Everyone, no need to be polite. I think you all know that this city has experienced an unprecedented crisis before!" The fat man in front of him, as a successful usurper, must have his uniqueness. The previous embarrassment seems to have never happened. The same, without changing his face, began to speak.
"I am heartbroken to announce this regrettable news. Our esteemed little Earl Anthony actually colluded with cultists and tried to destroy the entire city! Almost, the old Earl's efforts for decades were burned!" Antoine said with a sad expression, and the melon-eating nobles below were in an uproar.
"Quiet!" Antoine knocked on the leg of his stool with the short scepter in his hand, refocusing everyone's attention on himself: "The fact that Little Anthony was in collusion with the cultists, was my spy. He saw it through, but he became irritated, and immediately launched their evil plan with the cultists in advance! If it weren't for the demon hunter Lord Gangze, and Lord Richard from the Temple of War, I'm afraid he would have been..."
　　 As he said, Antoine took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears, and made a big nose.
The nobles under 　　 were whispering together, and the representatives of the church watched their noses and hearts, trying to understand and pretend to be confused.
Seeing no one jumped out to question Antoine’s statement, the nobles underneath slowly became quiet. After all, Antoine has ruled the Port of Anthony for so many years, and Sima Zhao’s heart is already known to everyone. This time, things can’t be done. Fortunately, he was in collusion with the church, leaving the Anthony family behind, intending to provoke another door.
However, all the little nobles who are loyal to the Anthony family have either been exiled to the Black Forest to open up settlements in the past few years, or have been killed by Antoine looking for a chance. Most of the remaining in the city have been bought, or People who don’t care who the lord comes to sit.
Seeing the slow silence below, Antoine snorted with satisfaction and continued his performance: "During the conflict, the culprit, Little Anthony, and the leader of the cult, resisted stubbornly and was finally wiped out. For Little Anthony I express my deep condolences for his death. I usually neglected to educate him that allowed him to go so far on this road of no return."
　　 Antoine stood up as he spoke, "In order to punish myself, I will give up the position of acting city lord, and all the nobles in the city will jointly elect a highly respected candidate!"
　　 Now not only the nobles underneath are boiling, but even the demon hunters are surprised. This fat man actually found out his conscience?
　　 but did not find that his apprentice was blowing his nose beside him, hum, trying to catch him!
　　 I don’t know when I got to Vittoriya next to Xu Yichen from behind. Seeing Xu Yichen’s expression, she asked in confusion: "What other purpose do you think he has?"
"Sure! It's too obvious. Look at the heads of these temple representatives, all of them have not changed at all. They must have discussed with this fat man in advance, and he must be the one who is recommended in the end!" Xu Yichen used to care for mentally handicapped children. Looking at Vittoriya, she felt that her muscles must have grown into her head. Can't you see such a straightforward routine?
　　 It wasn't just Vittoriya who looked at him, even his teacher, Demon Hunter Gangze, looked at himself with a puzzled look. The aborigines don’t have any knowledge, Vittoriya, you are so upright, Xu Yichen can’t help feeling that this EU’s public education is not a pill, and it seems that the EU’s reforms must continue to blow! Otherwise, how can we be competitive in modern society?
"You see, he originally wanted to usurp power. After so many years, the little earl was suddenly killed! Although he really didn't do it, but if he directly took over the position of lord, who would believe the little earl in the future? Didn't he kill him? He is betrayed by this black pot! Now he is asking everyone to vote together. The church obviously supports him. Apart from him, who dares to be elected? When he is elected, the church is propagating. Have you become an elected lord?" Xu Yichen explained carefully: "With an extra layer of fig leaf, many legal matters in the future will be easier to pass."
"Cough, cough!" A cough came from the side, interrupting the comprehension time of the demon hunter Gang Ze and Vittoriya. Xu Yichen looked up and found that his voice was a little louder unknowingly, all in the hall. Everyone looked at themselves quietly, and Pastor Richard was clearing his throat awkwardly.
Antoine, who was holding his short scepter speaking on stage, also smiled awkwardly, pretending not to hear what the people underneath said, and forcibly continued: "In this conspiracy to thwart the cultists, everyone Fang’s help is indispensable, and I will represent this city and express my lofty respect to you!"
　　 Xu Yichen smiled apologetically at the people around him, huh? How do you see the expressions of a few people dressed up as nobles suddenly realize? Under what circumstances, did you really plan to follow the voting for lordship before? How come you live so big?
When Antoine yelled on the stage: "Seris Warriors from the Far Eastern Continent~EbookFREE.me~Xu Yichen!", the perceptive apprentice demon hunter surprisingly caught the guards standing around. The samurai trembled unnaturally. Although Xu Yichen knew that he had a good reputation among paladins and priests, it was all about his fighting style. How did he feel that he was about to pass the street tiger posture now?
Xu Yichen’s youthful appearance makes it hard to think of saving the city on his own, and the eye-catching behavior of killing the Vanguard of Chaos gave him a lot of amazing eyes from church representatives. Antoine's face on the bench was a little stiff.
"Dear Proxy Lord..." Xu Yichen emphasized the accent on the word Proxy. On the way, his teacher had already told himself that the action of the Demon Hunter was a secret operation, in the chaos. Don't talk about what happened in the cracks. For ordinary people, it is very dangerous to know too much about chaos.
　　 This time, the obvious fact is that the little lord and the cultist have colluded and secretly kidnapped the slum population for blood sacrifice, intending to use the power of the evil to restore the glory of the Anthony family, but the church was wiped out.
Privately, the church and the demon hunters reached an agreement that the demon hunters would not pursue the church’s secretly supporting their agents to usurp power, and agreed that Antoine would become the new lord, and the new lord would fully support the demon hunters organization, and This time, at the congress of meritorious deeds and rewards, sufficient profits must be provided to satisfy the demon hunter.
　　 That's why this scene appeared. Xu Yichen was stuck with Antoine's weakness. Without the recognition of the demon hunter, he would not be a well-known city lord.
