Chapter 808

"You want to be a consul?"

The Duke of Silver Star showed a bit of surprise on his face, and then he said with some puzzlement: "You even gave up the chance to enter the Supreme Council, why do you still want to be a consul, and go back as you go?"

"Nothing, I just want to experience it."

Ren explained casually.

The Queen of the Storm looked disgusted, "What good experience is there? The Consul is just a puppet of the Supreme Council. With so many things to worry about, it's better to be a sealed nobleman."

You don't understand.

Ren smiled in his heart and didn't speak any more.

"You're still too young. You'll regret it when you become one. It's a complete waste of time." The Duke of Silver Star snorted twice, thinking that Renn had too little experience and was ignorant, and felt that the title of consul was very powerful, so Want a taste of power.

Queen of the Storm is similar.

Ren glanced at Anse Woldas next to him. The teacher had no expression on his face, and he couldn't see any clues in his expression.

The Duke of Silver Star suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Ren, how many years have you thought about becoming a consul?"

"Yes." Ren nodded.

"Do you think Kelstone will know?" the Duke of Silver Star asked again.

Ren immediately understood what she meant. It was not a secret that he was planning to run for the consul. In the past few years, he had frequent contact with the Imperial MPs from the Modu faction to lay a foundation of contacts. Anyone who is interested can guess some of them.

Gnaeus was one of the first to know about it, and several of his confidants must have known about it too.

A secret known to more than two people is no longer a secret.

Kelstone must have a spy around Gnaeus. If he is really behind the assassination of the Consul, he can easily get this information from the Secretary of the Interior, Amber.

Then, the revenge operation might be the bait released by Kelstone, and as long as Ren wants to be the consul, he must participate.

The probability of traps in Bambe City is even greater!

Anse Wodos said indifferently: "Just now at the Supreme Council, it was Kelstone who proposed to reopen the consul election registration."

"Did Master Tim Kenan not object?" Ryan asked.

He was very strange before, if the election cannot be opened, there are currently only two candidates, and Otiluk is almost certain to be the next consul. Arguably, Tim Kennan shouldn't have agreed, which would be to the detriment of the Equilibrium.

"He objected, but it didn't work." Anxi Wodas didn't explain much.

Ren understood it when he thought about it.

The Nesser faction definitely supports the motion proposed by Kelstone, and the Balance faction can't prevent the formation of a resolution with just two or three votes.

What he was curious about was the attitude of the teacher.

If the teacher and the Modu faction support Master Tim Kenan and no longer open for election registration, then his plan will undoubtedly be delayed by ten years.

Judging from the results, the Modu faction clearly passed the proposal.

"The teacher also voted for it?" Ren asked meaningfully.

"nonsense!"

The Queen of the Storm didn't know the inside story, and thought that Ren was stupid, "How could Anxi object? Otherwise, that Orutic would have picked up the title of Consul for nothing. As long as the election registration is reopened, the next Consul will definitely be our Modu send someone to do it."

"That's right." Ren looked at the teacher with a vague attitude.

"I couldn't figure out what Kelstone meant just now." The Duke of Silver Star suddenly realized, "So he was setting you up."

Then she gloated and said, "Ren, do you still dare to go to Bambe City?"

"What dare not."

Ren sneered, "Not only am I going to Bambe City, but I also want to make the greatest contribution and become the undisputed consul."

"I'm really not afraid of death..."

The Storm Queen muttered, but her eyes were full of appreciation. Ren's style of refusing to accept and never flinching fit her temper very well, "How can I miss such a lively battle? I will also wear a red robe The Legion joins the fight."

"Theresa, what about you?" The Storm Queen looked provocatively at the Duke of Silver Star.

"snort……"

The Duke of Silver Star was not to be outdone, "Although this does not match my plan, I have prepared for so long, and there is no reason to give up halfway. The Secret Flame Guard and the Silver Knights are ready to join the battle at any time."

The imperial army's dispatch of troops is more than ten times larger than her personal plan. There is no need to rush to retreat after looting Bambe City. There will be plenty of time to search for spoils and get more benefits. Even if there are many forces competing for it, the final result will be Things are worth a lot.

Neither of the two witches said they would dispatch the floating city.

The empire has eight floating cities, which are generally not easily dispatched, and only one floating city is enough to deal with a Gupta kingdom.

In the prophecy scene just now, only the Floating City of Flanaiss was seen.

This shows that Tim Kenan will dispatch his own floating city, and the floating cities of other holy soul wizards will not come to join in the fun.

"Wezeland won't participate." Anse Wo Daosi made a statement.

Ren and the two witches were not surprised.

This incident had little to do with Wezeland, and because Anse Wodos had no territory and lack of financial resources, he was unable to cultivate a private armed force. In fact, among the twelve holy soul wizards of the Supreme Council, only five have their own extraordinary legion.

The "Eight-leaf Hand" of the Duke of Gray Eagle; the "Red Flame Sword Guard" of the Duke of Redstone;

The "Golem Legion" of the Grand Sage Congerald; the "Red Legion" of the Storm Queen; and the "Silver Knights" of the Silver Star Duke.

There is no doubt about the strength of Wezeland wizards, but the number of them is too small, and those combat missions that require a large number of manpower, such as occupation, scattered operations, looting, search, patrol, etc., the wizard group is powerless.

Members of the Extraordinary Legion can be used as consumables.

And the Wizards can't.

It is heartbreaking to lose a few wizards in a battle, and it takes a long time to replenish them.

The wizard group is like a super weapon that is very powerful, enough to turn the tide of the battle and make a final decision, but it is extremely expensive and needs to be carefully maintained at ordinary times. If the battle is lost, it will be difficult to make up for the loss, so it cannot be used lightly, unless it is a last resort.

Rennes and the three holy soul wizards continued to discuss, focusing on going outside of Bambe City and being careful to guard against Kelstone's black hands.

To this end, several scenarios were also discussed.

More than an hour later, the three holy soul wizards suddenly received a magical message at the same time, and their faces changed. Anxi Wodas said: "Dubberstein committed suicide at home."

Ren was also taken aback.

Dubstein was Gnaeus's chief of staff and the person he trusted the most during his lifetime. He originally wanted to meet with Dubstein afterwards, maybe he could get useful information, but unexpectedly he died.

And it was suicide!

After the accident in the morning, Du Bostein was called by the Church of Justice to question him, which was also a disguised form of protection. Until the Duke of Gray Eagle assumed the power of the consul, he was called back to the Palace of Holland.

"Are you sure it was suicide?" Ren couldn't help asking.

"The Church of Justice came to this conclusion after inspecting the scene." When Anxi Wodas spoke, his face was not good-looking.

What a waste!

Ren cursed inwardly, the name of the Justice Church was very scary, but the few times he had been in contact with them, he hadn't seen them accomplish anything.

This group of holy swordsmen are very powerful in combat and are good at dealing with evil monsters, but they are too amateurish in detecting and solving crimes.

The Public Security Bureau and the Demon Squad were quite suitable, but these two departments are not strong enough to deal with ordinary evil god believers and monsters. When it comes to legendary and even holy rank powerhouses, they can only stare blankly and have no right to speak.

There is no one in the empire that has powerful powers, investigation, interrogation, intelligence, law enforcement and other powers, and is independent and only obeys the highest executive.

It used to be called "The Emperor's Hand".

But more than a thousand years ago, after the establishment of the Supreme Council, the Hand of the Emperor was disbanded.

The previous consuls often tied their hands and feet when encountering major incidents. However, none of the consuls dared to change the status quo, or even dared to mention it.

"When I become a consul, I must re-establish the Emperor's Hand."

"Just a name change."

Ren secretly made up his mind.

He was not interested in going to Duberstein's house to check. Whether it was a real suicide or a suicide, it didn't matter anymore.

The mastermind behind the scenes must have wiped out all the clues.

The three holy soul wizards discussed for a while, but did not come to any conclusion, so they could only disperse separately.

Ren bid farewell to the teacher and teleported to Maringa Manor.

Viola was still waiting for him to eat together. After dinner, the two entered the study to talk. He told Viola all the news he knew, and the half-elf said worriedly: "Ren, you must go to class. Beicheng? That's the Duke of Redstone..."

She couldn't imagine how she would survive if she provoked such a terrible enemy as Duke Redstone.

"No way."

Ren shook his head and put his arms around the half-elf's slender waist, "You don't have to worry too much, I already have a way to deal with it. No matter how powerful Kelstone is, he is nothing more than a mortal, and he is not Master Ogulev. In the main material world, no one can kill me."

"Um……"

Viola wanted to speak again, but seeing Ren frowned, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"Hold on."

Ryan's attention was synchronized to Gotham City.

In the highland fortress, Frajaska suddenly came to the teleportation formation, where there were four Ultramarines and two Stormcast Celestial Guards, she walked up to a Stormcast Sky Trooper, and whispered: "My lord, I have something urgent to talk to the lord. Sir report."

She could not see the face beneath the golden mask.

Ren told her that if there is something very urgent, you can ask any of the Thundercast Soldiers, and you can find yourself.

Ren's voice came from under the golden mask: "Franjaska, what's the matter?"

Frajaska heard the familiar voice, although there was a slight difference, but the extremely oppressive atmosphere was undoubtedly the lord, who let her know that it was Ren himself who was talking to her, and she was suddenly surprised and didn't understand. how did you do that.

She suppressed her curiosity and hurriedly replied: "My lord, Ms. Ashley hopes to meet you as soon as possible."

"Minister of the Exchequer, Ashley?" Ryan asked back.

"Yes." Frajaska said quickly: "She is at Northril's house, she is in a very dangerous situation, but she can't contact you, so she can only send a magic message to Dean Margarita, and I will tell you .”

Her tone was very disturbed, afraid that Ren would be angry about it.

This is the first time she has contacted Alatusa Academy after she came to Rennes. It was not what she wanted, but Dean Margarita strongly demanded that Ashley is too important to the academy, whether it is her strength or Even with her position, she couldn't just watch her have an accident.

And Ashleigh also took care of herself a lot in the past, and the relationship between the two was good.

A few seconds later, Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers said, "I see."

Then stop talking.

Frajaska breathed a sigh of relief, hearing that Ren had agreed, she saluted the Stormcast Soldiers and exited the teleportation hall.

In the study room of Maringa Manor, Ren got up and said, "I'm going out soon."

"good."

Viola saw that Ren was in a hurry, so he didn't ask any more questions, but only said: "Go, be careful."

"Wait for me to come back." Ren kissed her lightly on the lips, turned around and disappeared.

The scene in front of me changes.

Ren teleported to the sky above Northriel in an instant. The rainbow light cloak made him invisible. Looking down at the city below, he found Fubaden Castle, the magnificent Rick Palace and the tall Goddess Statue, the Statue of Truth, and the Herald at a glance. palace.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the lotus palace was still brightly lit.

There were three times more patrols in Rick's Palace of the Imperial Guard than usual, and Northriel also enforced a curfew, so it was no longer as lively as it used to be.

Ashley's home is not far from the imperial palace, it is an exquisite and luxurious courtyard.

Ryan observed from a distance of several thousand meters. There were two teams of Rick Guards in Ashleigh's house, but these people did not give her a sense of security at all. Through the roof, the all-seeing eye saw Ashley walking back and forth in her meditation room, fidgeting.

Apart from this, there is no other danger.

At least it can be confirmed that Ashley's home is not a trap set by the enemy.

But Ren was still very cautious, and immediately cast the mirror image technique, and ten mirror images appeared around him, and they were invisible as soon as they came out.

He teleported one of the images to Ashley's meditation room.

"who?"

Sensing the magic fluctuation, Ashleigh instantly opened the ice shield outside her body, and a group of Pyroblasts also condensed in her hand, staring closely at the location where Renn teleported over, with an extremely vigilant expression.

Ren's mirror image appeared and asked, "Ms. Ashley, what do you want from me?"

The sorceress was overjoyed immediately: "Speaker Rennes!"

"You're finally here." She breathed a sigh of relief, and removed the Pyroblast from her hand, "I knew Frajaska would be able to contact you."

Ren nodded.

He was very curious, what could scare an eighteenth-level Scourge Warlock into such a state, and the surroundings looked safe.

"Let's get down to business, I don't have much time." The eight-ring mirror image technique can only last for fifteen minutes.

Ashley's expression became serious, "Chairman Lane, have you heard about Duberstein's suicide?" After getting confirmation from Lane, she whispered: "Duberstein has long expected that he will die, So I left a letter to be delivered to me by one of his servants who had placed in my house."

She took out the letterhead: "Speaker Ren, please read."
