Chapter 563: Future consul

"Consultant, please." Anse Verdous nodded slightly.
Gnieus said sternly: "The Supreme Council granted me the responsibility of supervising Nether City. This is a great honor, but I am afraid I will take on such an important responsibility."
His words were sincere, and he looked frightened, as if he was really worried about his incompetence.
But all those present were smart people.
Politicians never think that they have too much power in their hands, they will never think that they have too much power, unless this is a hot potato, and the benefits of power in their hands far outweigh the disadvantages.
Obviously, Gnieus was not really incapable.
He just weighed the pros and cons and found that it was a thankless task to supervise Nether City. He might have heard of what happened on the Supreme Council. The Duke of Redstone was determined to win Nether, and he was very likely to offend the new giant for this.
Anse Waldos frowned, "This is the duty granted to the consul, not to you."
This sentence made Gneuss face slightly changed.
Obviously, Anse Verdaus was dissatisfied with himself, directly implying that if he is not willing to take responsibility, the next consul can be replaced. Without the support of the Modu faction, he could not continue to serve as the consul, and could only bid farewell to the fourth term.
"I understand that public office and individual cannot be confused." Gnieus quickly explained: "Master Anxi, I am not resigning, but I have an immature proposal. Please refer to Master Anxi for details."
"Well, you said." Anse Verdaus responded lightly.
"I want to set up a supervision group, with the consul as the group leader, each of the masters of the Supreme Council will send a team member to jointly supervise the operation and accounts of Nether City. Through the group members, the Supreme Council can always grasp Nether's Trends." Ganeus asked cautiously: "Master Anxi, what do you think?"
Renn next to him listened and secretly applauded the archon.
This is not an "premature proposal", but a deliberate idea. Even if it wasn't Gnieus's own idea, it was his staff who were making suggestions.
The supervisory group was established to share the pressure of the consul, but the power did not decrease much.
This group is like a low-profile version of the Supreme Council, and the consul as the group leader has the initiative to run the group, and the right to speak is higher than any group member.
The most wonderful thing is that the Holy Soul wizards will not object, because apart from the Duke of Redstone, what they really want is not "supervision", but to prevent Nether from being taken over by the Duke of Redstone.
Even if the Duke of Redstone objected, it was useless, and he couldn't cast fire on the consul alone if he was angry.
This trick is wonderful.
Sure enough, he is a man who can be re-elected for three consecutive terms!
Anse Waldos thought for a while, nodded and smiled: "This proposal is good. Archon, have you already told Gray Eagle?"
The Grey Eagle is the Duke of Grey Eagle, Master Tim Kenan.
"Yes, Master." Gnieus heard that Anci Vodas had acquiesced, but still calmly replied: "The Duke also agrees with this proposal. He told me that this requires the consent of the master. May be passed."
He was recommended by Master Tim Kenan to become the Archon, so it is understandable to report to him first.
Anse Waldos was not angry about it.
There was a smile on his face, "Where is Kelston?"
Gnieus was a little embarrassed. The only thing that this proposal hurts was the interests of the Duke of Redstone. If he dared to go to the Duke of Redstone to propose it in person, he would probably have a nine-ring spiritual shock.
The three factions of the Supreme Council, as long as two factions agree, things are basically stable.
There is no need to go to the Duke of Redstone to ask for trouble.
When it comes to a foregone conclusion, the Duke of Redstone can only pinch his nose to recognize him, and has to send someone into the supervision team to avoid being marginalized in his right to speak about Nether.
"I implore Master Anxi to agree." Ganeus got up and asked.
"it is good."
Anse Vodaus did not hesitate, "I will communicate with Gray Eagle." He looked at Gnieus and applauded: "Consultant, you did a good job with this situation."
"Master praised." Gnieus said with a smile on his face, and said with great humility: "The will of the Supreme Council is the will of the consul. I just want to better serve the masters. This is my business."
Anse Waldos smiled and said nothing.
Ren and Ronnie looked at each other. The consul was really a powerful figure, and he could influence the resolutions of the Supreme Council.
Gnieus suddenly said, "Master Anxi, I want to invite Speaker Rennes to join the supervision team. What do you think?"
His eyes fell on Renn, full of expectation.
Ryan himself was a bit inexplicable, Gneus would never offer an invitation for no reason, and he did not want to intervene in the affairs of Nether City. This may be a beauty to others, but to myself, it is accompanied by great danger.
The office of the supervisory team must be in the capital Northriel.
The emperor is the territory of the Netherites, and Rennes has not been there so far. As a member of the Imperial Parliament, he has been absent for three consecutive years. Fortunately, this member's seat is bound to the Earl of Glamorgan, otherwise he has been expelled.
Going to the imperial capital, there is likely to be a head-on conflict with the Duke of Redstone.
When he threatened the Duke of Redstone that day, he was not because he was embracing the thigh of the goddess, but because he was really not afraid of the Duke of Redstone.
But this does not mean that he is about to face the Duke of Redstone.
His strength is in a period of rapid rise. Every day, the gap with the Duke of Redstone will narrow a little. The later the conflict erupts, the better.
It's still too early.
Anse Verdaus naturally understood this, but he pondered thoughtfully for a while, and said, "Ren, you make your own decision."
Just as Renne was about to refuse, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind.
The deep meaning behind this supervision group is by no means simple. It is a platform, a stage for power struggle, like a shrunken version of the Supreme Council. All the members stationed by the holy soul wizards must be the best students or wizards under the family.
It is foreseeable that the supervision team will exist for a long time in the future, attracting the attention and game of all forces.
Entering the supervisory team is on the stage of the imperial political center.
If you are a person who doesn't fight for fame and fortune, you don't need to care about it, but if you are a politically ambitious person, you must not miss this opportunity.
Rehn is very clear about his future plans.
The status of the Imperial Capital Northriel is too important. It is absolutely inevitable. Sooner or later, it must be visited, and it must even be permanent in the future.
Ganeus' invitation was a temptation.
The teacher knew it at a glance, so let him make the decision.
Seeing that they were both waiting for his own response, Speaker Ronnie also understood, his expression still indifferent, like an outsider.
His mind turned sharply. This was not an easy decision. It had a great impact on his future plans, and the timing was not appropriate. Many things were not ready, and he was a little rushed. But to accomplish one thing, the bigger the thing, the more decisive it is. There is never a fully prepared plan.
Risks have always coexisted with benefits.
In the imperial capital, there will indeed be a frontal conflict with the Duke of Redstone in advance, however, even if he tries to avoid it, the hostility of the Duke of Redstone will not be eliminated.
Smart people understand a truth, we must kill the enemy at the weakest moment.
The Duke of Redstone would certainly not be stupid enough to let himself become stronger, and he would retaliate after he was promoted to the Holy Soul Wizard. It was useless to avoid him.
It is better to use yourself as a bait to attract most of the attention of the Duke of Redstone.
In this way, the possibility of the opponent targeting the family, the Glamorgan and the Principality of Augustus will be reduced.
He has the blessing of a goddess, and the Duke of Redstone knows this very well.
If he doesn't want to offend the goddess, he is unlikely to take action personally. As long as he doesn't face a holy soul wizard above the 30th level, Ren will not worry too much.
It is an excellent opportunity to start with the supervisory team and reach the political center of God Capital.
He immediately made a decision.
Renn nodded calmly, and said softly, "Thank you for the consul's invitation. I am willing to join the supervision team."
His voice is not loud, but the meaning behind it is extremely heavy.
Anse Verdaus was not surprised. It seemed that he had known Renn would agree, but Ronnie shook his head slightly and sighed in his heart, not agreeing with Renn's choice.
"Welcome Speaker Rennes to the Imperial Capital!"
A smile appeared on Ganeus's face. He could hardly conceal his joy, and eagerly said, "When Speaker Rennes arrives in the imperial capital, he must notify me."
"it is good."
Reyn responded simply and neatly, and he already understood Gnieus' intentions.
The consul is preparing for his next term.
Master Ogulevi disappeared, and Dean Sabra was promoted to the Holy Soul. After the increase, the Mordu faction prevailed in the Supreme Council. A few years later, it will be the election of the governor. At that time, as long as Master Anxi nods and agrees, and Master Tim Kenan continues to support, he will be able to sit firmly on the throne of the governor, finish the last term, and retire.
The establishment of the supervision group actually has one more detail.
There are many holy soul wizards in the Supreme Council who are alone, without students or family members, or are unwilling to intervene in this matter, and give up sending people to join the supervision team. Rough calculations, Master Oroin, Master Vantusri Huohuai, Duke of Purple Flame, Duke of Black Robe, these four are almost certain to give up.
The two of them are balanced, and the two are Netherists.
Only the sacred soul wizards of the Mordu faction have the floating city, the academy and the tower, so the members of the supervision group are mainly Mordu faction, reaching five!
Coupled with Gnieus' secret surrender, as long as he is slightly inclined, it is equivalent to the fact that the Mordu faction has the power to supervise the Nether City.
The teacher knew the stakes, so he simply agreed.
Master Tim Kenan even agreed. Needless to say, Gneus must have been pushing behind, promising the conditions, or in exchange for something else.
As for offending the Duke of Redstone, it doesn't matter.
Gnieus received the support of two factions. The Duke of Redstone led several Holy Soul wizards of the Netherites to oppose it. Anyway, as long as he is elected, this will be his last term. There is no need to think about the future. More scruples.
Therefore, Ganeus took the initiative to show his favor
He established a good relationship with Wezeland through his own deliberation, and the proposal of a supervisory group achieved multiple political goals.
Ren found that he was still a little tender.
When Gnieus proposed to set up a supervision group, the teacher had already figured out the cause and effect, but he took a turn to understand it.
"They are all old guys who have lived for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and their scheming is too deep."
Rennes sighed secretly.
But he didn't show it on his face, and said from time to time, joining the conversation between the teacher and Gnieus. The consul will count on himself in the next few years, so he is a credible political ally, and there are many benefits to having a good relationship with him.
Northriel is the largest city in the world, known as the "Capital of All Capitals"!
The forces in the imperial capital city are intricate, like the Dragon Cavern of Longtan, Renne needs an experienced superior to open up the situation for himself.
There is no better candidate than Gneus.
Gnieus immediately understood, and frequently released his kindness to Rennes. When talking, he often explained something about the upper empire, as if he carefully taught his descendants.
Ren listened carefully.
From time to time, Anse Waldos added a few words.
They all understood Renn's ambitions, Anci Vodas naturally fully supported it, and Gneus had to show his full support and win Anci Vodas' favor, so he had no reservations.
Unconsciously, time is approaching the canonization ceremony.
Gnieus stood up and leaned forward and said, "Master Anxi, Speaker Rennes, Speaker Ronnie, I'm sorry I have to retire first. I will preside over the canonization ceremony of Dean Sabra, and I have to go over and prepare first."
"I see you off."
Anse Vodas got up to see him off, with a gesture that was much more respectful than when Gneus entered the door.
Ganeus had a flattered expression, "Master Anxi, please stay."
After he nodded to the three of them, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com turned and walked out of the room, turning his back to the three of Rennes, his face immediately became ecstatic, and the joy in his eyes almost overflowed. The farewell of Anse Verdaus shows that he has tacitly supported himself, and that he can sit on the throne of the Archon for another ten years!
When he went downstairs and was about to see someone else, he returned to his normal face.
Ganeus left under the arch of the Janissaries.
However, what he didn't know was that his own emotional changes were clearly seen by Ren's soul eyes, almost completely exposing his mind to Ren's presence.
This also allowed Ren to confirm Gnieus' intentions.
Sure enough, I guessed right.
Ren couldn't help thinking that when he arrived in the imperial capital, the Eye of Soul would become the greatest reliance, and its political advantage might be greater than its role in battle. With the Eye of Soul, the road ahead will definitely go smoother.
"Ren."
Ronnie's voice rang, and he asked hesitantly: "You want to run for the Archon of the Empire?"
