Chapter 563

"Consul, please speak." Anse Wodos nodded slightly.

Gnaeus said sternly: "It is a great honor for the Supreme Council to entrust me with the responsibility of supervising Nether's floating city, but I am afraid that I personally cannot bear such an important responsibility."

His words were earnest, and he looked sincere and sincere, as if he was genuinely worried that he would not be able to do the job.

But there are smart people here.

Politicians never think that the power in their hands is too much, but they will never think it is enough, unless it is a hot potato, and the losses caused by the power in their hands are far greater than the gains.

Obviously, Gnaeus is not really incompetent.

He just weighed the pros and cons, and found that supervising Nether's floating city is a thankless job. He may have also heard about what happened in the Supreme Council. The Duke of Redstone is determined to win Nether, and he is very likely to offend the new giant.

Anse Wodos frowned, "This is a duty assigned to the consul, not to you."

These words made Gnaeus' expression slightly change.

Obviously, Anse Wodos was dissatisfied with himself and directly hinted that if he was not willing to take responsibility, the next consul could be replaced. Without the support of the Modu faction, it is impossible for him to continue serving as consul, and he can only bid farewell to the fourth term.

"I understand that public office and personal should not be confused." Gnaeus quickly explained: "Master Anxi, I am not refusing, but I have an immature proposal. Please refer to Master Anxi."

"Well, you say." Anse Wodoss responded lightly.

"I would like to set up a supervisory team, with the consul as the team leader, and the masters of the Supreme Council each sending a team member to jointly supervise the operation and accounts of Nether Floating City. Through the team members, the Supreme Council can keep track of Nether's status at any time. movement." Gnaeus asked cautiously: "Master Anxi, what do you think?"

Ren next to him heard this, and secretly applauded the consul.

This is not an "immature proposal", but a well-thought-out idea, even if Gnaeus did not come up with it himself, it was his staff who came up with it.

Oversight groups were formed to share the pressure on the consuls, but not much less power.

This group is like a low-profile version of the Supreme Council, and the consul, as the group leader, holds the initiative in the operation of the group, and has a higher voice 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 the Duke of Redstone from controlling Nether.

Even if the Duke of Redstone objected, it was useless, and even if he was angry, he couldn't vent his anger on the consul alone.

It was a great move.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a person who can be re-elected as the consul for three consecutive terms!

Anse Wodos thought for a while, nodded and smiled, "That's a good proposal. Consul, have you already told Gray Eagle?"

Gray Eagle is the Duke of Gray Eagle, Master Tim Kennan.

"Yes, master." Gnaeus heard that Anse Wo Daosi had acquiesced, but he remained calm, and replied: "The duke also agrees with this proposal. He told me that it requires the consent of the master. may be passed."

He was recommended by Master Tim Kenan to become the consul, so it is understandable to report to him first.

Anse Woldas was not offended.

There was a half-smile on his face, "Where is Kelstone?"

Gnaeus was in a bit of a dilemma. This proposal only harmed 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 suffer a nine-ring mind blast.

Of the three factions of the Supreme Council, as long as two factions agree, things will basically be stable.

There's no need to ask for trouble from Duke Redstone.

When the time comes, the matter will be a foregone conclusion, and the Duke of Redstone can only hold his nose and admit it, and has to send someone into the supervision team to prevent himself from being marginalized in his right to speak about Nether.

"I beg Master Anxi to agree." Gnaeus got up and asked.

"good."

Anse Wodos did not hesitate, "I will communicate with Gray Eagle." He looked at Gnaeus and praised: "Consul, you have done a good job in this matter."

"Master, I'm overwhelmed." Gnaeus said with a smile on his face, and said very humbly: "The will of the Supreme Council is the will of the consul. I just want to serve the masters better. This is my duty."

Anse Woldas smiled and said nothing.

Ren and Ronnie looked at each other. This consul is really a powerful person, and he can actually influence the resolution of the Supreme Council.

Gnaeus suddenly said again: "Master Anxi, I would like to invite Chairman Ren to join the supervision team, what do you think?"

His eyes fell on Ren, full of expectation.

Ren himself was a little baffled, Gnaeus would never invite without reason, and he didn't want to interfere with the affairs of Nether Floating Void City. This may be a good job for others, but for myself, it is accompanied by great danger.

The office of the supervisory team must be in the capital, Northriel.

The Imperial City is the site 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 would have been expelled.

Going to the imperial capital is likely to have a direct conflict with the Duke of Redstone.

When he threatened Duke Redstone that day, it wasn't because he hugged the goddess' thigh to pretend to be a tiger, but because he was really not afraid of Duke Redstone.

But this doesn't mean that he is going to face Duke Redstone right away.

His strength is in a period of rapid rise, and with each passing day, the gap with the Duke of Redstone will narrow a little bit, and the later the time for the conflict to break out, the better.

It is still too early.

Anse Wodos naturally understood this truth, but he pondered for a while and said, "Ren, make your own decision."

Just as Ren was about to refuse, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

The deep meaning behind this supervision group is not simple. It is a platform, a stage for power struggle, like a shrunken version of the Supreme Council. All the members sent by the holy soul wizards must be the best students or wizards under their sect.

It is foreseeable that the supervision team will exist for a long period of time in the future, attracting the attention and game of various forces.

Entering the Oversight Group is the stage at the center of Imperial politics.

If you are a person who does not strive 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.

Ryan is very clear about his future plans.

The status of the imperial capital Northriel is too important, it is an absolutely unavoidable place, and it must be visited sooner or later, even in the future, it must be a permanent residence.

Gnaeus' invitation was a temptation.

And the teacher can see it at a glance, so let yourself make a decision.

Ren saw that both of them were waiting for his response, and Chairman Ronnie also understood, his expression remained calm, like an outsider.

He had a sudden change in his mind. This was not an easy decision. It would have a great impact on his future plans, and the timing was not appropriate. Many things were not ready, and he was in a hurry. But to accomplish one thing, the bigger the event, 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 the truth that the enemy must be killed at the weakest moment.

The Duke of Redstone will definitely not be so stupid as to let himself become stronger, and he 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 a bait to attract most of Duke Redstone's attention.

In this way, the possibility of the other party attacking the family, the Territory of Glamorgan and the Principality of Augustus will be reduced.

He is blessed by the goddess, and the Duke of Redstone is well aware of this.

If he didn't want to offend the goddess, he wouldn't be able to do it himself. As long as he didn't face Holy Soul Wizards above level 30, Ren wouldn't worry too much, and it would be no problem to save his life.

This is an excellent opportunity to ascend to the political center of God's capital, starting from the supervisory group.

He made up his mind immediately.

Ren 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 Wodos was not surprised, he seemed to have known that Rennes would agree, but Ronnie shook his head slightly, sighing in his heart, and did not agree with Rennes' choice.

"Welcome Speaker Renn to the Imperial Capital!"

Gnaeus had a smile on his face, he could hardly hide his joy, and said earnestly: "Chairman Wren must notify me when he arrives in the imperial capital."

"good."

Ren responded simply and neatly, and he already understood Gnaeus' intentions.

The consul is preparing for his next term.

Master Ogulevi disappeared, Dean Sabra was promoted to the holy soul, and the Modus faction gained the upper hand in the Supreme Council. A few years later, there will be a vote for the re-election of the Consul. At that time, as long as Master Anxi nods in agreement and Master Tim Kenan continues to support him, he will be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Consul, finish his last term, and retire.

There is actually one more detail about the establishment of the supervisory team.

There are many holy soul wizards in the Supreme Council who are alone. They have no students or family members, or they are unwilling to intervene in this matter, so they give up sending people to join the supervision team. After a rough calculation, Master Oroin, Master Vantusri Huo Huai, Duke Ziyan, and Duke Black Robe, these four are almost certain to give up.

Two of them are Balancers, and two are Netherites.

Only the holy soul wizards of the Modu sect have the floating city, the college and the tower, so the members of the supervision team are mainly the Modu sect, reaching five!

Coupled with the fact that Gnaeus surrendered secretly, as long as he has a slight inclination, it means that the Modu faction has taken over the power to supervise Nether's floating city.

The teacher is aware of the stakes, so he simply agrees.

Master Tim Kenan even agreed. Needless to say, Gnaeus must have pushed behind the scenes, promised conditions, or exchanged other things.

As for offending the Duke of Redstone, it doesn't matter.

Gnaeus has the support of two factions, and it is useless for the Duke of Redstone to lead several holy soul wizards of the Nether faction to oppose. Anyway, as long as he is elected, this will be his last term, and there is no need to think about the future. More scruples.

Therefore, Gnaeus took the initiative to show his favor

It can be said that he has made deliberate efforts to establish a good relationship with Wezeland by himself. The proposal of a monitoring group has achieved multiple political goals.

Ren found that he was still a little tender.

When Gnaeus proposed to set up a supervision team, the teacher had already figured out the cause and effect, but he had to make a detour to understand it.

"They are all old guys who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years. They are too scheming."

Ren sighed secretly.

But he didn't show it on his face, and from time to time he made a sound, joining the conversation between the teacher and Gnaeus. The consul will have to count on himself in the next few years, so he is a reliable 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"!

The forces in the imperial capital are intricate, like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Ren needs a seasoned superior to open the situation for him.

There is no better candidate than Gnaeus.

Gnaeus immediately understood, and frequently expressed his kindness to Rennes. When talking, he often took the trouble to explain some things about the upper echelon of the empire, as if carefully teaching his juniors.

Ren listened carefully.

Anse Woldas also added a few words from time to time.

They have already understood Renn's ambitions, and Anse Wodas naturally fully supports them, and Gnaeus wants to show his full support to win Anse Wodas' favor, so he has no reservations.

Before you know it, the time is approaching for the canonization ceremony.

Gnaeus stood up, bowed and said: "Master Anxi, Speaker Ren, Speaker Ronnie, I'm sorry that I have to leave first. I will preside over the conferring ceremony of President Sabra, and I have to go and prepare first."

"I send you."

Ansevodas got up and saw him off, with a much more respectful gesture than when Gnaeus entered.

Gnaeus had a flattered expression, "Master Anxi, please stay."

After he nodded to the three of them, he turned and walked out of the room. The moment he turned his back to the three of Ren, his face immediately became ecstatic, and the joy in his eyes almost overflowed. The farewell of Anse Wodos shows that he has tacitly supported him, and the throne of the consul can be seated for another ten years!

When he went downstairs and was about to meet someone else, his expression returned to normal.

Gnaeus left under the guard of the Praetorian Guard.

However, what he didn't know was that his emotional changes were clearly seen by Ren's soul eyes, and he almost completely exposed his mind to Ren.

This also allowed Ren to confirm Gnaeus' intentions.

Sure enough, I guessed right.

Ren couldn't help thinking that when he arrived in the imperial capital, the Eye of the Soul would become his biggest reliance, and its political advantage might be greater than its role in battle. With the eyes of the soul, the road ahead will surely go smoother.

"Rain."

Ronnie's voice sounded, and he asked hesitantly, "Are you going to run for the imperial consul?"
