Broad World - Chapter 347
Chapter 345 Show and negotiate
On the square in front of the council building, crowds of people rushing from all corners of the city are crowded with people. Most of the ordinary people focused their eyes on Altagos and Orloces. After all, they had few opportunities to witness the dragon with their own eyes, especially at such a close distance.
Being stared at by so many people together, even the nerve-wracking dragons have a bit of hair. However, they stayed in place according to the instructions, and did not move, even if some half-old children ran over to touch the scales and ignored them. Seeing that two dragons that should have been extremely ferocious were trained so honestly, no one in the crowd yelled: “Dragon rider!”
This sentence seemed to infect everyone at once, and countless voices followed and shouted: “Dragon rider!”
Hearing the sound of a mountain whistling and a tsunami, the councillor wearing a silver mask raised his right hand high. After everyone was quiet, he took Henry’s hand and announced loudly:
“Everyone! Today is an exciting day. Mr. Henry next to me successfully completed the commission of the Supreme Council to eradicate the “Flying Flames” of the legendary dragon Balagas, the shadow that has been shrouded in the sky above Amn. Please look! This is its sinful head. Tomorrow this huge dragon head will be hung in the most eye-catching position of the parliament building, always reminding those evil enemies, this is the fate of offending Amn.”
“In order to express my gratitude to this gentleman, on behalf of the council, I reward him with a luxurious mansion located in the temple area, as well as the title of duke. Finally, according to your wishes, grant him the title of dragon driver. Now, let us cheer. Well, the great Amn is invincible, and our enemies will be destroyed.”
The congressman’s words were circumscribed and impassioned, as if it were true. However, most of the people who don’t know the truth just feel excited, it seems that suddenly the Shahua murlocs on the northern coast and Tethyr on the southern border are not so terrible. As long as the six-member council randomly sends out a few heroes, these enemies can be wiped out easily.
Looking at these yelling ordinary people, Henry’s mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile that was not a smile. It seems that deceiving the people is the most common method used by politicians, whether it is on Earth or Phelan. What comes out of their mouths has always been **** and bullshit. The truth is always hidden, only those who participate in the exchange of benefits. Only then will I really know how dark the silence is here.
As a person with vested interests, he cooperated very well with the congressman in a successful political show. This is quite good for improving one’s prestige. As for whether or not to wear a gang, that is the matter of the six-member council. Anyway, beheading the “Flying Flame” of Balagas is a fact that cannot be obliterated, and no one will doubt a legendary spellcaster even if there are any problems in the future.
After half an hour. Henry was taken to the conference room on the top floor. Although the general conditions have been agreed, the specific details still need to be discussed. Especially regarding his political status in Amn, the six MPs have been unable to reach an agreement. Some people think that since they have strong strength, they should be given a corresponding status, but more people are a little worried, for fear that their own rights will be taken away.
After everyone took their seats, one of the members said frankly: “Duke Henry. Please allow me to call you that. After all, whether in the northern principality or in Amn, you are a real duke. We want to know, Do you have any political demands for Amn.”
“You should all know that I am already a legendary spellcaster, and I am not interested in politics that is too wasteful of energy. However, I have a large area of land in Amn. Not participating at all is obviously unrealistic. Why not, I recommend Naria as a representative to participate in various political affairs.”
Henry was asylum and recommendation again, and he didn’t take any kindness at all. This is mainly to give this political rookie a protective umbrella, so that everyone dare not act rashly. Only in this way can Naria gain a relatively safe period and slowly accumulate strength. It’s too late to think about it when others start to notice.
But the lawmakers don’t think so. All of them thought this idea was very good, not only could prevent the other party from breaking out of Amn’s political situation, but also did not have to fear that a legendary mage with a long life span would usurp power. After a brief discussion, six people passed the resolution unanimously.
for the rest of the time. These people also discussed how to dispose of the Ronore family’s property and the nobles who had private transactions with this family. In the end, the two parties reached an agreement that all things belonging to the Ronore family belonged to Henry, including a large area of land, three castles, a fairly reasonable mage tower, five large sea ships, and many real estate and shops.
As for the other families, the council decided to arrest all of them for participating in the slave trade and confiscated all their properties to ease the financial tension caused by the shrinking trade. Soon, a team of well-armed elite Amn soldiers set off from the council building to the house of the Ronore family. They got only one order, and that was to kill all the people inside, and then bring back the evidence of the crime.
While waiting for the results, the six MPs in charge of Amn’s supreme power began chatting with Henry, constantly asking about his family status. When they learned that he still had a sister who hadn’t come out of the cabinet, several guys even proposed marriage, but all of them were rejected.
“Sorry, I spent a lot of effort and resources on her, the purpose is to train her into a powerful mage. If you want to marry my sister, then you must be ready to join the Zuoan Gemei family.”
This sentence blocked everyone’s mouth. They all knew what a powerful mage meant to a family, so they all dispelled the idea of marriage. Let’s forget it. Few children from great nobles can endure this humiliation. Not only does it mean that future children have to follow their mother’s surname, but even their own family surnames have to be discarded.
In fact, in Henry’s eyes, these Amn’s upstarts were not worth seeing. That’s right, these people got their current status by cooperating with the Shadow Thieves Guild that had just been expelled from Deep Water City. Although after so many years, they have begun to have some real aristocratic styles, but cooperation with gang forces is still an indelible stain.
It should be understood that there is a fundamental difference between the trade unions controlled by the movie thief and Robert. The former is nothing more than a criminal organization with almost no lower limit for the purpose of profit. As long as you can make money, there is almost nothing you can’t do, forcing a good for prostitution, burglary, slavery, drugs, and robbery. The latter can almost be regarded as an espionage agency, making money only incidental. They make profits by operating smuggling and certain gray places, such as gambling, underground fighting, and various hotels that provide special services for wealthy men and women. Basically, they will not have much impact on social stability.
This is also the reason why Robert’s union was able to expand rapidly. He rarely touches the interests of other gangs, and he can provide a lot of entertainment and taxes for the local area. Especially in Karinshan, where extravagance and turmoil coexist, rulers in almost every place like those little tricks that emerge in endlessly.
Of course, many of them were drawn from the special service sites on the earth. At first, Henry felt that the scale might be a bit large, which might not be acceptable to the rich in Faerun. He soon realized that morality may be a long process to improve, but it only takes a moment to degenerate.
It is said that a certain hidden lord of Deep Water City has become obsessed with role-playing, and even can’t sleep as long as he doesn’t spend two hours in the nightclub every day. He especially likes to make his bed partner wear decorative armor and dress up like a paladin. It can be said that this lord has a fatal handle in Robert’s hands, as long as he wants to, he can coerce the other party to do something at any time.
There are many similar things. Adhering to the principle of silent penetration, the entire intelligence agency is like a huge transparent net, weaving the entire West Coast more and more closely. In the future, if necessary, these potential forces can be mobilized to attack the enemy at any time. It can be said that a huge organization that is not inferior to the Santarin Club and the Harp League is quietly emerging, but these hidden actions have not been noticed yet.
The Ronore family’s house in the administrative district was not far away, and it didn’t take long for the murderous officer to return with a suitcase. Everyone in the meeting room smelled a strong smell of blood, and it seemed that both relatives and servants living in it had been slaughtered.
The officer motioned to his subordinates to put down the box bowed deeply, and then immediately turned and left. He knows very well that meetings of this level should be kept far away, otherwise once he hears only a few words, he will probably cause a fatal disaster. Never participate in things beyond the scope of your identity and ability, this is the way of life belonging to a small person.
A congressman opened the box and found that there were a lot of thick books inside, and there were also a lot of private messages. He flipped it casually, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. With the evidence of these crimes, the council will be able to deal with a part of the nobles and businessmen in a fair manner. As for the Ronore family, they will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in history as a model.
“Duke Henry, the house of the Ronald family has been cleaned up. You can move in tonight. Don’t worry, the soldiers handled it very cleanly. They did not stain the ground or touch any property. In addition, the temple area It will take a few days to decorate the luxury house. Up to three days, we will send the deed to the mansion together with the legal land certificate and the documents that need to be revised.”
“Thank you very much. In this case, I won’t bother too much. You must know that the masked mage is still waiting for me to perform the initiation ceremony.” Henry stood up and wanted to leave. Because his goal here has been achieved, the rest is up to Naria’s final decision. (To be continued.
