Chapter 776

Name:Warhammer Wizard Author:Emperor
"The teacher is the closest person to the golden throne!"

Anse Wodos looked astonished, and instantly understood the meaning of Ren's words. If Ren agrees to enter the Supreme Council, the Modu faction will have six votes, and with Euroin, who is already very close, the number of votes will exceed half.

As a result, he will completely control the Supreme Council, thus becoming the de facto ruler of the empire!

Without the name of the emperor, but with the power of the emperor.

In an instant, Anxi Wodas thought a lot, and the appearance of the golden throne in Rick's Palace appeared in front of his eyes, and an indescribable feeling came to his heart.

He suddenly understood why Renn wanted to be emperor so much.

However, the old wizard immediately regained his composure, and snorted coldly, "I just want to prevent you from going astray, how could I think so much?"

"Don't the teacher want to sit on the golden throne?" Ren asked seriously.

"not at all."

Anse Wodos shook his head without hesitation, and said indifferently: "Power will only affect my efficiency in exploring the truth of magic."

"I prefer to sit in the empire as the leader of the Modus faction. Even if I control the Supreme Council, I will not have the final say. I will fully respect the opinions of other holy soul wizards, as long as they are beneficial to the empire. , I will put aside factional prejudices and support it." He solemnly expressed his attitude.

Isn't this the collective responsibility system?

Collective responsibility, in fact, means that the collective is not responsible, and there is no way to investigate problems.

Ren shook his head secretly, and the eyes of the soul confirmed that what the teacher said was the truth, and the teacher did not have the slightest interest in being the emperor.

"Look, teacher, this is the difference between us." Ren smiled and said, "You want to stay away from power, and even hate power a little, but you have to accept it. And I like power, so I will work hard for it , take it into your own hands.”

After a pause, he stared into Anse Woldas's eyes and said softly:

"Power is a sharp sword, and if you don't hold it firmly, it can fall into the wrong hands and make a big mistake."

Anse Woldas frowned, "You think I'm the wrong person?"

"Of course not, but he's not the most correct person." Ren quickly explained that he didn't mean to offend the teacher, "It's just that the teacher's ambition is not here, so he can't exert the most powerful power of this sharp sword."

Anxi Wodas didn't refute, which was tantamount to acquiescing.

Ren's face showed confidence, and his tone was raised a bit, "Teacher, I think I am the most suitable owner of this sword. I am confident that I will lead the development of the empire to unprecedented heights, and all the people of the empire will benefit from it." , they will have a better life, a safer environment, more advanced technology, and stronger national power..."

"I want to create the most powerful empire in the history of Arrenus!"

Anse Wodoss has no doubts about such ambitions, and Rennes does have this ability.

He persuaded: "You can govern the empire even if you don't become an emperor. The Modu faction and I will fully support it and will never hold you back."

"It's different, teacher."

This is the second time Ryan said this today, and he said sincerely: "A lot of things I want to do must have absolute power to promote them. As long as the Supreme Council still exists for a day, I can't let go of it."

"Maybe the Modus faction can control the Supreme Council now, but the future is uncertain."

"If there are new holy soul wizards, it doesn't take a few, just one, enter the Supreme Council and fall to the other two factions, the teacher will lose control."

"Master Oroin may also go back on his word. After all, he has always agreed with Master Kenan's balance theory for more than a thousand years."

"There are also several holy soul wizards from the Modu faction, who are not so reliable. The Duke of Redstone is no less ambitious than me, and he is never willing to be suppressed. He will definitely use various means to instigate members of the Modu faction, the Duke of Silver Star That defection was a big lesson."

"These are destabilizing factors."

"And I need a very stable empire structure that lasts at least twenty, thirty, or even a hundred years before those grand blueprints can be realized."

Ren concluded: "So I must overthrow the Supreme Council and take control of the supreme power of the empire in the name of the emperor! If my plan for the development of the empire can be realized, by that day, the golden throne will also be the reward I deserve for these achievements. "

After Anse Woldas listened, he didn't speak for a long time.

He got up and stood in front of the window again, looking down at the floating city and Modu, and said after a long time: "None of these reasons can persuade me to support you. You can't destroy the stable situation of the empire that has lasted for thousands of years because of your ambition, and cause many innocent people to lose their lives." life."

Ren also walked over.

Facing the side face of Anse Wodos, there was no trace of frustration in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he saw the dawn of victory, and said, "Teacher, I don't want your support."

Anse Wodos turned his head to look, puzzled in his eyes.

Ryan continued: "I only ask the teacher for one thing, and that is not to object. If you don't support, don't object, and don't participate, the teacher just pretends that he doesn't know anything."

Anse Wodos shook his head, but was stopped by Ren, "Teacher, please listen to me."

The real meaning of this sentence is: listen to my offer!

Ryan was suddenly summoned by the Supreme Council, and was caught off guard by Anse Wodos, but after the meeting ended, he had already thought of countermeasures during the few minutes when he was alone waiting for the teacher to come out, and he was finally going to show it all at this moment.

"As long as the teacher promises not to intervene and let me execute according to the plan, then I will bear all the remaining debts of Wezeland Floating Void City, and I promise to pay them off within twenty years." Renn issued the first conditions.

Anxi Wodas raised his eyebrows, "The Floating Void City still owes about 50 million gold shields in total, can you still pay it?"

Wren is well aware of Wedzeland's debt situation.

Originally, the total debt was close to 100 million gold shields. Before helping Emily to restore the country, the rewards and spoils were discounted to about 45 million gold shields. In the past three years, Wezelan has increased revenue and reduced expenditure, and the number of wizards lost has not yet been filled. , the expenditure was relatively low, and the Floating Void City had a slight surplus, so it returned several million gold shields.

Even so, the remaining 50 million gold shields is an astronomical figure.

As the number of wizards increases, the expenses rise year by year, and the repayments become less and less each year after that, from surplus to deficit, and it is likely that the debt will rise again.

That's a constant headache for Anse Woldas.

Fifty million gold shields can be used to build half a floating city, and Renn can guarantee that he can pay it off within 20 years, which makes him a little unbelievable.

However, Ryan looked relaxed and said with a smile: "Teacher, I am so poor that I only have money left."

He also doesn't know how much money he has.

In Menzoberranzan alone, there were 30 million gold shields in the big raid, and 5 million were extorted from the dwarf king. There were also millions of dollars in income from selling the blood of the sun to the blood elves every month, and there were also investments made a few years ago. Motorcycles, cameras, and record companies are paying more and more dividends.

There is also the taxation of the Glamorgan Territory; the introduction of mechanical technology by the Principality of Augustus, the explosion of productivity, and the crazy mining of Mithril mines and various minerals; the bullet production line in cooperation with the Mechanical Union; succeeded...

There is a large amount of wealth collected by Korsted in the demiplane, and I haven't had time to count it yet.

Most importantly, a floating city is about to be sold!

Even if Ryan is already spending money desperately, Gotham's urban construction costs are flowing out like water, and the Thundercast Sky Soldiers are building weapons and equipment every day, consuming a lot of materials.

But the money is still not spent, but more and more.

Moreover, the underground treasures of Abraken have not yet been excavated, and the wealth that may be buried in the ruins of the most glorious elf city in the second era is even more inestimable.

Paying off 50 million gold shields in twenty years is a breeze.

In his view today, the problems in the world that can be solved with money are not problems!

Ren's rich and powerful appearance immediately shocked Anse Wodoss.

Even though he is a holy soul wizard who is famous all over the world and has lived for more than a thousand years, he has never seen such an arrogant person as Ren, who is willing to pay 50 million gold shields just for himself!

If Wedzeland's debts can be settled within twenty years...

Anse Woldas' mind was shaken.

Ren was keenly aware of this change, laughed secretly in his heart, and said persistently: "Teacher, paying off the debt is only my first promise. If I succeed in ascending the Golden Throne, within half a year, the title of duke and fief of the teacher will be conferred. "

"This fief will serve as a source of income for Wedzeland, supporting the expenses of Wedzeland wizards."

"And, if the teacher finds it troublesome and doesn't want to manage the territory, I can do it for you without receiving any compensation. If the territory is short, I will fill it up. The teacher only needs to do two things every year, review the accounts and collect money, and you don't have to worry about other things ,how?"

Anse Woldas was finally moved.

By resolving the debt and providing fiefdom as a source of income, Wezeland's development will no longer have to worry about the future, and you don't have to do anything. You can control the Floating Void City by yourself without fear of being seized, and you can focus on researching magic. Feed so comfortable in the mouth.

He finally understood what Rennes said just now, everyone has weaknesses and prices.

Holy Soul Wizard is no exception.

Even though he knew that Renn was taking advantage of his own weakness to set a price for the purchase, Anse Wodoss couldn't help but imagine that if he agreed...

The old wizard remained silent, his expression unmoved.

But Ren's soul eyes saw that the teacher was struggling emotionally, and two words were clearly written on the old face: Really fragrant!

After a long while, Anse Wodos asked softly: "Ren, can you guarantee that no innocent people will be hurt in the process of proclaiming the emperor?"

"cannot."

Ren shook his head, "This is a top-down seizure of power. I can only guarantee that the scope of influence will be limited to the extraordinary as much as possible, and I will not initiate a war and harm the civilians of the empire."

He knew that the teacher was already inclined to agree.

As long as you say a few empty words, you may deceive the teacher to agree with the situation, but you still decide to tell the truth, the struggle has reached the point of life and death, and it is beyond your control.

Anse Wodos looked at Ren seriously, and sighed: "You are very honest, you didn't lie to me."

"I will never deceive the teacher, not before, not now, and never in the future." Ren replied seriously: "The teacher can always trust me."

Anse Woldas couldn't help but be moved: "I hope you will remember what you said today."

Ryan was overjoyed.

This sentence means that the teacher agrees.

Sure enough, Anse Wodos said lightly: "Do what you want, as long as it does not harm Wezeland's interests, I will strictly abide by the agreement of 'no support, no objection, no participation', and I will not ask anyone People revealed our conversation today, you must fulfill those two promises, let alone hurt innocent people."

"Yes, teacher." Ren nodded seriously.

In fact, if the teacher does not object, it is the greatest support for himself.

Otherwise, as long as the teacher gave an order, without the votes of the Imperial Councilors sent by Modu, it would be impossible for him to be elected as the consul, and his plan to become emperor would go bankrupt at the first step.

Anse Wodos was also very clear about this, and he sighed secretly, feeling ashamed in his heart.

The deal with Rennes this time was against his own principles, but the conditions offered by Rennes were so good that he finally failed to resist the temptation of benefits and was bought by Rennes.

Heart!

Anse Wodos laughed at himself, looked at Ren who respected him as always, and couldn't help reminding: "Ren, if one day you become the lord of the empire and hold supreme power, you must not be corrupted by it. You yourself It is said that power is a sharp sword, and one must be the master holding the sword, instead of being controlled by the sword and becoming its slave.”

"Remember the teacher's teachings." Ren said solemnly.

"Go back." Anse Wodos waved his hand, his face looked a bit tired, "The meeting has been going on all night, I'm a little tired and need to rest."

Ren knew that he was not physically tired, but mentally tired.

"Then I won't disturb the teacher's rest." After speaking, Ryan saluted and left.

Anse Wodos sensed that Ren teleported back to Glamorgan Castle, and he happened to be standing in front of the window and could see the Glamorgan territory. He was fascinated looking at the castle in the distance below, and the pyramid-shaped floating city that landed on the ground. His eyes were complicated, and he didn't move for a long time.

Ren teleported directly to his study and let out a sigh of relief.

He really didn't expect that the teacher would guess his plan, and launch a surprise attack as soon as he took down the Floating Void City.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and had enough chips. I also thought about how to win the support of the teacher before, so I passed the test smoothly.

As long as the teacher does not stop it, the next few steps will be much easier.

Ren sat in the study and thought over and over.

Just now, from arguing to compromising with the teacher and finally reaching a deal, I didn't mention the most important factor from the beginning to the end, that is the gods.

Are the three gods of the empire willing to see themselves proclaiming themselves emperor?

Obviously, the teacher misunderstood this. During the encirclement and suppression of Master Ogulevi, the goddess of magic showed her favor in front of the holy soul wizards, making the teacher think that she had the goddess' acquiescence.

Actually not.

But Ren is not worried about this.

Although the empire is a trio of gods, it is actually a kingdom of wizards, as long as it has the support of the goddess of magic, it is enough.

Under the premise of not endangering the faith, the Mother Earth and the God of Justice will not care much about the changes in the imperial regime, and have no right to speak.

Even, the God of Justice is more happy to see an emperor in the empire.

The full name of the God of Justice is "God of Justice and Order". The country under the rule of the emperor is closer to the priesthood of "Order", which is conducive to spreading faith and developing believers.

As for how to please the Goddess of Magic and win her approval, Rennes had long thought of a plan and a reason, and conducted an experiment in the Principality of Augustus. All the gods want are believers and the power of faith, and nothing else.

At that time, with a two-pronged approach, he is more than 80% sure that he can convince the goddess of magic.

While thinking, footsteps sounded outside the door.

There was a light knock on the door of the study, and Viola's rather hasty voice came in: "Ren, are you in?"
