Chapter 601

"This is the list of members of Nether's supervision team."

Gnaeus had been prepared for a long time, and immediately took out a document and handed it over, and said: "I have sent a messenger to inform each member that the supervision team will be formally established in the Dutch Palace the day after tomorrow, and there will be a simple listing ceremony at that time. Everyone will be here. The Nether elders have also prepared the ledger, we have 15 days to review it, and if there are no problems, we will report the result to the Supreme Council."

Ren nodded and looked through the list carefully.

As expected, those holy soul wizards without students, high towers, and floating cities renounced this right, and did not send their own representatives, so there were only seven people on the list, including themselves.

Including the consul who is the leader of the team, there are eight members of the entire supervisory team.

Gnaeus carefully collected information on the other six members.

Ren saw a few acquaintances.

Andro, the wizard of all souls, he is the most proud student of the Duke of Silver Star, and he may not be one of them. When he raided Matros a few years ago, Andro was a fifteenth-level wizard of all spirits, and he summoned a large group of murlocs to impress himself.

Not long after returning from Majus, Andro was promoted to the sixteenth level and became a legendary high-level wizard.

Dean Sabra sent Sidney Rickman, he is a teacher of Blueworth College, a level 19 dark magician, his strength is second only to the dean, and he is also the second chance for Blueworth to be promoted The legendary sorcerer of the Holy Spirit.

A cold face with long hair appeared in Ren's mind.

He had seen Sidney a few times during the Wizarding Exchange.

Sidney gives people the impression that he is taciturn and unsmiling. He always wears a loose black robe. It seems that there are many shady things hidden under the black robe. He looks like a black wizard, with a cold aura all over his body, which makes the students of the academy very afraid, and they nicknamed him "Poisonous Snake" in private.

The other teachers in the college did not dare to have more contact with Sidney, but Dean Sabra trusted Sidney very much, appointed him as the deputy dean, and gave him a very high courtesy.

The eyes of the soul have observed Sidney.

This notorious dark magician actually has a sincere heart and loves his students very much, but he is not good at expressing and misunderstood. He is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He is definitely a good person worth making friends with.

Sidney's achievements in alchemy are extremely high, and he has won the title of sage from the Imperial Alchemy Association.

This is one level higher than a master alchemist. There are less than twenty alchemy sages in the entire empire, and only those who have made a high enough contribution to alchemy are eligible to be awarded.

The Queen of the Storm sent one of her students named "Alamantha". Ren has heard of this nineteenth-level arcanist. It is said that Alamantha's magical talent is extremely amazing, even comparable to the Duke of Redstone. Before he appeared, Alamancer was the strongest of this generation of young wizards.

Alamance is in his early forties this year, and he is already attacking the holy soul wizard.

The Queen of Storms naturally cherishes such a rare talent, she gives all cultivation resources, and responds to every request. She never lets Alamance go out to take risks, and takes care of her carefully, even on the bed.

Ren was surprised that the Queen of Storms was willing to let her beloved student and concubine come out?

Andro, Sidney and Alamancer.

Don't worry about the positions of these three people, they are all their hard-core allies.

Their teachers or principals belong to the Modus sect. The teachers must have told them not to let them mess around, and they must obey their own wishes.

In this way, there are four votes in the supervision group.

Consul Gnaeus is also one of his own, even if he can't show it too obviously, he can control the supervisory team with a slightly biased position.

Ryan glanced at the list again.

The people sent by the Duke of Redstone are no strangers. His student, the legendary psychic Winslow, first met once in the Silver Star Academy, and was promoted to a legendary high-level last year. The great sage Congerald also sent another alchemy sage Kelanna, an eighteenth-level female elementalist.

Needless to say, the positions of these two are the same, standing on opposite sides, but it is no longer important.

The supervision team is all my people, what are you fighting with me?

Ren sneered.

He looked at the last person on the list and asked, "Your Excellency, are you familiar with Master Otiluk?"

Otiluk is the representative of Master Tim Kennan. Like other members of the "Eight Leaves" organization that manages the Floating City of Flanaiss, he is also a famous legendary wizard who has invented many "force fields" and The spells of the "Orb" series are named after themselves.

Otiluk is a nineteenth-level arcanist. He has been attacking Holy Soul wizards for many years, but he has not succeeded.

However, what Ren asked about was not Otiluk's strength and reputation, but the other party's position. Wizards who believed in the concept of the Balance School were a bunch of fools, who liked to jump around repeatedly. Even if Otiluk's vote didn't affect the overall situation, he had to guard against him.

Gnaeus was elected by Master Tim Kenan, so he has a better understanding of the situation in the Floating City of Flanaiss.

He considered for a few seconds, and said: "Otiluk is different from other people in Yaye. He is very keen on politics. The Duke also trusts Otiluk very much, and handed over the daily management of Flanaiss to He's been doing really well."

It's not good news if you're into politics.

Generally, such people have their own ideas and are used to exchanging their own interests for their own interests.

Ren frowned, and asked again: "Will he agree with us?"

"I'm not sure." Gnaeus shook his head, "According to the Duke's theory of balance, everything lies in balance. In order to maintain this balance, you can change your behavior at any time. In fact, you have no position, and the Duke will not force you to Tell Luke to make any promises, let him adapt accordingly."

Ren couldn't help cursing: "A bunch of shit stirrers."

The faces of the cabinet ministers next to him were very strange, and they were vaguely disgusted.

They have dealt with the people of the Flanaess. There are a group of members of the Imperial Parliament who are vassals of Master Tim Kenan, and each of them believes in the theory of balance. These people often make troubles on many things. One day they fall to one side, and the next day they fall to the other side. Sometimes they can change positions several times a day, which makes people headache and disgusting.

The shit stirrer is a very apt metaphor.

Gnaeus also suppressed a smile. Ren can scold the Flanaess wizard openly, but they don't have the guts to do so. They can only enjoy themselves in their hearts.

And if he wants to secure the throne of consul, he cannot do without the support of Flanis.

"Chairman Ren," Gnaeus said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what position Otiluk takes. There are five of us in the supervision team, so he has no room for tossing around." After a pause, he continued: "As far as I know , Otiluk is quite ambitious, and may also have ideas about the position of consul, Ren, you have to pay attention."

Before Renn could respond, someone was surprised.

Amber Hurd, the Minister of the Interior, said: "He is a legendary pinnacle wizard and has the opportunity to be promoted to the holy soul. Why is he coming to this troubled water?"

In his eyes, the position of the consul is not comparable to that of the holy soul wizard.

In fact, the vast majority of people in the empire hold the same opinion. The consuls are elected for ten years, at most four, while the holy soul wizards of the Supreme Council are life-long, powerful, and have a detached position. They do not need to manage secular affairs. So much better being a consul.

The chief of staff, Du Bostein, also gave a rare nod, agreeing with Ambra's point of view.

But others are not convinced.

"Baron Hart is still too young." Chancellor of the Exchequer Ashley chuckled, "If Holy Soul Wizards want to break through, they will be able to succeed, and the Empire will not only have twelve Holy Soul Wizards now. Master Otiluk really There is a chance to be promoted to the holy soul, but at his age, it is actually impossible."

The human soul will begin to decay at a certain age, and the same is true for legendary transcendents, but this stage is postponed to about four hundred years old.

After four hundred years of age, the difficulty of soul transformation becomes more and more difficult, and it is also more dangerous.

It's not that there is no chance at all, it's just that after the age of 400, as the age increases, the possibility of success becomes lower and lower.

Dean Sabra, who has just been promoted to Holy Soul Wizard, is only over three hundred years old.

The old legendary wizards may not lose their strength, and even after long years of studying magic, their strength has become stronger and stronger, but the probability of being promoted to the holy soul will decline precipitously.

As we all know, Otiluk is more than 800 years old. Even if he uses some methods to prolong his life, he will die within 200 years at most.

This is the inside story that only transcendents above the legend know.

Amber's talent is mediocre, only a middle-level warlock, and Du Bostein, the chief of staff, is not much better. He only reached a high-level ranger in his fifties. Neither of them had the chance to be promoted to legend, the holy soul was out of reach for them, and they didn't have a personal experience of the difficulty of breaking through the holy rank, and they didn't even have a concept.

Everyone else present is a legendary powerhouse, so it goes without saying.

Ashley only said that Amber was young, which was already very euphemistic. In fact, it meant that his strength was low, and he didn't understand things that only the legendary strong would know.

Amber looked a little embarrassed: "Thank you, ma'am, for your clarification."

Duberstein secretly rejoiced that he didn't ask any questions, otherwise he would be the one to be embarrassed, and at the same time he gloated over Amber's misfortune.

Ren's eyes swept across the two of them calmly, and then turned the topic back, "Master Otiluk is competing for the position of consul. Does he want to leave his mark in the history of the empire?"

"It should be." Gnaeus smiled, "He has no hope of achieving higher achievements in magic, so he is going to switch to politics."

Ren nodded solemnly.

Otiluk took advantage of his status as a member of the supervision team to make an appearance in Northriel, paving the way for future elections, which coincided with his own plan.

With his reputation and connections, he is definitely his strongest competitor.

Gnaeus, the incumbent consul, was originally a great advantage for him, but Master Tim Kenan will definitely support Otiluk with all his strength and put pressure on Gnaeus. As Gnaeus is, he is bound to be at odds with each other or both.

This is tantamount to erasing the assistance of the incumbent consul, which greatly increases the difficulty.

"It's difficult!"

Ren sighed secretly.

Fortunately, Gnaeus still has five years left in this term, plus the next ten-year term, he still has fifteen years to prepare, so he is not in a hurry.

Gnaeus and others guessed what Ren was thinking, but they were silent.

There was a silence on the terrace.

"Ren," Gnaeus broke the silence and asked, "What are your current thoughts on the account review by the Nether supervisory team?"

According to the resolution of the Supreme Council, the supervision work should be led by the consul, but now he is counting on Anse Wodoss to support his re-election, so everything depends on Rennes.

"Since it's an account check, of course we have to check whether they have made fake accounts." Ren replied naturally.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Hearing what Ryan meant, he really wanted to check Nether's Floating Void City's fake accounts.

If this was changed a month ago, everyone would think that Ren was a lunatic. Now that Master Ogulev is missing, Nether would have fallen to this point, which is really unimaginable.

As for whether Nether has made false accounts, no need to ask, there must be.

There are more than 2,000 wizards in Nether, and the permanent population of the floating city exceeds 200,000. Each of them has millions of funds flowing, or even tens of millions of gold shields. I don’t know how many people are making profits in it. The problem is simply too easy.

Gnaeus thought for a while, "If the fake accounts are discovered, then what?"

"Use this as a reason to attack, reject their accounts, rectify within a limited time, and find out the flow of the golden shield. If there are still problems, directly deprive the Nether elders of the management of the floating city." Renn had a plan long ago and said without hesitation.

Except for Gnaeus, everyone else gasped.

This is against the wizards of the entire Nether floating city!

More than 2,000 Nether wizards are all the students of the Nether elders, the students of the students, and even the students of the students' students, passed down from generation to generation.

Nether wizards would never agree to deprive the elders of their rights.

"Ren, is this too radical?" Gnaeus has been in Northriel all year round, and he knows how arrogant Nether wizards are.

Nether wizards are actually the ruling class in the imperial capital, and Rennes' actions will arouse strong opposition.

"What are you afraid of?"

Ryan looked calm, "Don't Nether wizards dare to resist violently? Without Holy Soul wizards in charge, they are crispy skins that can be kneaded. What's more, we have the support of the Supreme Council. What a storm."

Gnaeus smiled wryly.

Several cabinet ministers were also frightened by Ren's audacity. They really wanted to say, you are powerful, you are known as the number one person below the holy soul, and you have killed Elder Nether, of course you are not afraid, but we are afraid!

Ren guessed what they were thinking, and comforted him: "Of course, I didn't intend to make trouble with Wizard Nether. Auditing accounts is not an end, but a means. My real purpose is to let the elders of Nether understand that there is no way out for the Duke of Redstone. "

Mentioning Duke Redstone, he sneered.

Then he continued: "I don't want to control Nether, as long as they keep a distance from Duke Redstone and be independent."

Gnaeus frowned, and said in thought: "Given the relationship between Elder Nether and the Duke of Redstone, it may be difficult for them to cut off the relationship."

Several of his confidants thought so too.

Ren was confident, "The Elders of Nether are not monolithic. What we have to do is to win over some, suppress some, and divide some. After a few rounds, there must be someone willing to cooperate with us. As for how to distinguish the position of Elder Nether, we must Just give it to me."

Everyone's eyes light up slightly.

Ren's words expressed the essence of political struggle, and he didn't dare to underestimate Ren because of his age, and kept it in his heart.

Ashley's eyes rolled, and she said with admiration, "The Earl came prepared."

A twenty-five-year-old young man, less than a fraction of his own age, dared to attack Nether Floating City, which suppressed the empire for thousands of years, and decided the fate of more than two thousand wizards with a few words. While amazed by her, she was also deeply fascinated, and her heart couldn't resist the rippling.

The eyes of the soul saw that Ashley's mind was slowly turning green.

Ren pretended not to know, nodded and said, "It's natural."

Gnaeus was finally relieved that Ren was not the kind of young man who acted recklessly based on his strength, so he stood up and said, "I understand, and I will cooperate with you when the time comes."

After the discussion, Renn bid farewell.

Gnaeus and a few confidants sent Ren downstairs and watched him board the carriage and drive out of the Palace of Holland under the escort of the Ultramarines.

It wasn't until the carriage was out of sight that Gnaeus turned around and sighed, "Have you seen it? This is the real hero."

All five of them nodded in unison, with different thoughts.
