Chapter 956

After the resolution was passed, the Supreme Council did not adjourn, and then they had to agree on the duke titles of the two Archmages.

Because it was a fictitious title, there was no need to argue about the selection, area, and boundaries of the territory, so the result was quickly decided, and then reported to the goddess of magic for approval.

There is no emperor in the empire, and the duke can only be canonized by the goddess of magic.

This process is symbolic.

The statue in the Supreme Palace trembled slightly, and the voice of Wei Jiescui rang in everyone's minds. He announced that Ma Youfu was conferred the title of "Duke of White Crow" and Oxilia was conferred the title of "Duke of Qinghong". an archmage.

It was the first time for both of them to come into contact with the gods, and they stood up excitedly to thank them.

The holy soul wizards also congratulated again.

Ren secretly complained that the title conferred by the goddess of magic is too random, and it is still named according to the convention of color + something. Oxilia's "Duke Qinghong" is not bad, and it fits her characteristics better, but the Duke of White Crow is too unreasonable.

Are there white crows in the world?

In the future, there will be more and more members of the Supreme Council, and each of them will have the title of duke. What should I do when the colors run out?

"The meeting is over."

As the initiator of this meeting, Tim Kenan didn't want to stay for a minute now. After the canonization of the goddess was over, he immediately ended the projection.

Kelstone's projection is also slowly dissipating.

"Everyone."

Ren suddenly made a sound and stopped the other holy soul wizards who were about to leave.

He said very relaxedly: "The Ministry of Finance will open the application for special funds tomorrow, and the first batch of funds will be released within three days. I know that some colleagues are relatively tight, and 50 million gold shields are not enough to build a floating city, and they are also Shortage of manpower……"

The eyes of several weak holy soul wizards lit up.

Tim Kennan and Kelstone, who were leaving, also stopped.

"Every additional floating city, the national power of the empire will increase by one point." Renn smiled, "For this reason, in my own name, I will open up loans, floating city design, Iola's nuclear foundry, construction team , building materials sales and other aspects of business, to ensure quality and speed, and to give the greatest low-interest discounts, welcome to consult. "

The holy soul wizards were dumbfounded.

They have never thought in their life that someone lends money to the Holy Soul Wizard, and can also manufacture the Core of Iola and the Floating Void City...

It's a fantasy!

However, when these words came out of Ryan's mouth, they sounded very reliable.

Who in the empire does not know that Ren is the richest man in the world. His money is as much as "100 million". The dwarves are all his vassals.

There have been rumors over the years that Renn has built several very unique floating cities, but they have never been publicly unveiled.

Several holy soul wizards who were eager to build the floating city were immediately moved.

"snort."

Tim Kenan snorted coldly, his face became even uglier, and the projection completely disappeared. Kelstone also exited the Supreme Palace expressionlessly.

The Prophet Medifer asked urgently: "Ren, are you in the Palace of Holland now?"

Ren nodded: "Yes."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

The projection of Medifer disappeared in a hurry, and Master Oroin and Dean Sabra also said that they would visit the Palace of He soon.

Master Huo Huai obviously also had intentions, but he didn't make a sound in the end.

"I have a lot of spare money. The wizards of Agralong Floating Void City are also free recently. Hohaven is rich in resources. As long as you have money, it is enough to build two or three floating cities. Anyone who is interested can also come to Jupiler Mountain City Find me, everything is negotiable."

The Storm Queen suddenly stepped in and asked with a smile: "Ren, you don't mind?"

Bitch!

Ren cursed secretly in his heart, but there was a smile on his face: "It's a good thing that Her Majesty the Queen is willing to contribute to the empire. Why would I mind?"

"As expected of the consul of the empire, he is dedicated to the empire." The Queen of Storms praised.

Ren was a little helpless.

I lent money to the holy soul wizard because I wanted to become their creditor.

At the same time, the floating city of the holy soul wizards had to rely on themselves to build it. Before it was completed, they would never dare to turn against themselves.

By the way, you can also make money.

The Queen of Storms jumping out at this time is against herself. She obviously has no other intentions but wants to grab business.

Sure enough, Master Huo Huai changed his mind when he heard the Queen of the Storm's words.

The seven sisters were all brought up by Master Huo Huai, so they are naturally very close. If they can borrow money from the Queen of Storms to help build the floating city, Master Huo Huai will definitely favor her. And Laila Orosan, the wife of Lord Blackstaff, is also one of the seven sisters.

The couple controlled Shenzhen-Hong Kong City and the entire Tourde trading city-state. They were very rich and could easily lend tens of millions of gold shields.

Master Huo Huai is his biggest target customer!

Master Oroin, Prophet Medifer, and Dean Sabra, these three were originally members of the Modus faction, and they were their own people without being recruited.

Even if they want to overthrow the Supreme Council in the future, they may support themselves.

"Incompetent bungler!"

"Except for Kui Lu, the Seven Sisters are all smart people." Ren glanced at the Queen of Storms, did not accept her flattery, and directly exited the projection room.

Frank, the chief of staff, sat outside the projection room with the officials of the Dutch palace. They were in charge of the minutes of the meeting and watched the whole process of the Supreme Council.

Seeing Ren coming out, everyone stood up with a crash, their faces full of deep awe.

"Your Excellency the Consul."

The officials shouted respectfully.

Ren walked back to the office next door and ordered: "You guys organize the minutes of today's meeting into a document, and write down the resolutions formed at the meeting in detail. After I have seen them, they will be circulated to the major provinces and cities of the empire."

"Yes!" Everyone took the order and left.

Soon, the document came out.

Two new members were added to the Supreme Council, the duchy will no longer be granted in the future, the consul and the great sage will give up the duchy, the Sain Plateau will soon be merged into the empire's territory, the special funds of the Supreme Council, etc., a series of resolutions on the Supreme Council, in It is clearly written in this document.

And it is reflected in the document that these resolutions are all led by the consul.

After Ren signed, he immediately handed it over to his subordinates and sent it out.

On this day, the entire empire was shocked!

Any news in the document is usually a big event, but it happened at the same time today. When the content spread, from members of parliament to nobles, legendary wizards, down to ordinary farmers, hundreds of millions of people in the empire were dizzy by these news. .

Shocked, excited, numb, jumping for joy...

The responses have been mixed.

No matter where you go, you can hear heated discussions.

"Didn't you hear that Master Ma Youfu was promoted yesterday? How did it become two? I have never heard of this Ms. Oxilia before."

"yes……"

"I have heard that she is a student of Master Anxi. It is said that she is a rare beauty in the world, but she has a low-key personality, so she is not well-known."

"Now the whole empire knows about Ms. Oxilia."

"She's not even the speaker of Wezeland, but she directly entered the Supreme Council." A wizard in the floating city of Wezeland said in a low voice: "I heard that Speaker Dalandon wants to step down from his position as speaker and give it to Ao Miss Celia."

"Duke Qinghong doesn't like a mere Wezeland Speaker."

"Oh... Duke Qinghong!"

"When will I be able to enter the Supreme Council and be conferred the title of duke?"

"The current duke is not as good as it used to be! There is no territory, but a fictitious title. Although it is a good thing for the empire, for those legendary wizards who aspire to enter the Supreme Council, this severely hits their momentum. I am afraid it is not a good thing."

"If the empire gives me fifty million gold shields, I will also give up the territory."

"You think beautifully!"

"The Consul is too powerful to allow this proposal to pass."

"The Consul himself set an example by giving up the Duke of Osian, and even his private domain, the Sain Plateau, was incorporated into the empire, which expanded the empire's territory by one-third. With such a great contribution, the holy soul wizards will never I would like to support him as well.”

"Too……"

"Just halfway through the consul's term, the national strength of the empire has risen to a higher level. We can see the changes in our lives every day, and our lives are better than before."

"I hope Mr. Ren can serve as a consul for a few more terms, and it is best to serve for four terms!"

"There has never been a greater consul in the history of the empire."

"But there is no consul with more power than him. Even the Supreme Council is led by him, and the holy soul wizards have to listen to the consul! If he is elected as the consul for four consecutive terms, then the Supreme Council will still exist. Is it necessary?"

Then there was silence.

Occasionally, some people have the courage to continue to say: "I don't care if the consul is in power or the Supreme Council rules the empire. Anyway, I will support whoever can make me live a better life and earn more money." who."

“I would not be where I am today without the governance development of the Archons.”

"Tell me, have the consul ever thought about being emperor..."

"Silence!"

As the topic deepens, people will inevitably talk about it, and then dare not say more.

Similar talk arose throughout the Empire.

Unbeknownst to many, their words reached the Archon directly.

Ren did not set up an intelligence department loyal to himself, but he attached great importance to intelligence. He wanted to have first-hand information on the situation of the enemy, the behavior of his subordinates, and the voices of the people.

It is absolutely impossible for the Supreme Council to allow the consul to establish such an institution, but it will not trouble him.

In the past year, Ren created more than 2,000 Stormcast Soldiers, who disguised themselves in various identities and scattered to the main cities of the empire. Various provincial capitals, economic centers, floating cities, magic academies, church and empire departments, extraordinary legions, and noble forces all hide various numbers of Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers, forming a huge intelligence network.

In the future, more Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers will join.

Renn plans to let some Thundercast Sky Soldiers go offline, and penetrate deep into the grassroots of the empire. All important places in the empire, towns with a population of more than 50,000, must have their own eyes and ears. Know the situation for a while.

The Voice of All Things and the All-Seeing Eye make each Stormcaster seem like an all-weather radar.

A Thundercast Sky Soldier can monitor a large area, continuously collect information, filter it, and summarize it to Ren's body.

Ren sat in the office and listened for a while.

The reaction of the people of the empire was generally within his expectations. Through this reform, the number of his supporters and his personal prestige have soared, reaching unprecedented heights, and the peak far surpassed any previous consul.

But it is still far from supporting proclaiming the emperor, and the resistance is too great.

"hold on."

"When the national power of the empire reaches a new level and makes more dazzling political achievements, everyone gets used to my rule, weakens the sense of existence of the Supreme Council, and the new generation of people who have received the education of the imperial school grows up, the time should be ripe gone."

Ryan was patient with this.

His attention returned to his eyes, and the Prophet Medivh walked into the office of the consul under the reverent eyes of the officials of the Dutch Palace and the Rick Guards.

"Your Excellency the Prophet." Ren stood up to welcome.

Ryan hasn't seen the real body of this holy soul wizard for several years, and no one knows which hidden plane his tower is built on.

Medifer's appearance has not changed a bit from when he first met at Blueworth College.

He was tall and slender, and his face was that of a middle-aged man in his forties. There were a pair of narrow eyes and a thick beard on his ordinary face. His cheeks, upper lip and chin were all covered by neat and thick beard. He was wearing a dark robe, with a cloak woven from crow feathers on his shoulders. The high collar could be lifted up as a hood, and a black and red cloak was attached to the back.

With this mysterious wizard's attire, people can tell at a glance that he must be a big shot.

"Rain."

Medidan said calmly, "I haven't seen you for several years."

"Exit all of you." Ren waved his hand, causing his subordinates and guards to leave the office, activating the sound-proof force field arranged in the room.

Medifer's expression immediately became urgent, and he completely forgot about the demeanor of the prophet, and asked in a low voice: "Ren, can you really help me build the floating city and borrow money?"

"Of course." Ren looked serious, "How much do you want to borrow, Your Excellency the Prophet?"

"Fifty million gold shields!"

Medifer had already made up his mind on the way here, since he dared to speak up, he would do it in one step, and quickly said: "I will make the core of Iola by myself, but I don't have any manpower, and the materials of the floating city are not available." There is a shortage, so I hope you can help me recruit people, purchase materials, and coordinate the construction of the entire floating city. The price is easy to negotiate, and I will definitely be able to pay back the floating city."

After speaking, he looked at Ren with some trepidation.

"No problem." Ren agreed almost without thinking.

Medifer was overjoyed. He didn't expect Ren to be so straightforward. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Can the floating city be built within twenty years?"

Ren pretended to think about it.

Medifer's heart skipped a beat, and he also felt that it was difficult, so he immediately changed his words: "It can be built within thirty years."

"Then it will be thirty years." Ren's brows stretched.

After more than half an hour.

Ren sent off the happy prophet, and within a few minutes of sitting down, Dean Sabra also arrived. Dean Sabra only borrows money, and the teachers and students of the entire Brewers Academy are his backing. He can build the floating city by himself without borrowing from Rennes.

The core of Iola and the shell of the floating city must be built simultaneously to be most efficient.

So the start-up capital needs to be at least 70 million, or even more, and it takes 40 years for the special funds to be fully distributed. The gap between the 20 million gold shields is the amount that Dean Sabra wants to borrow.

Wren lent him almost an interest-free loan.

that night.

Master Oroin secretly visited, and he also got what he wanted from Rennes, funds and manpower. Master Oroin completely trusted Ren, and even asked Ren to manufacture the core of Iola, and chose the New World as the construction site of the floating city.

Ren didn't want to live up to this trust, not only gave the greatest discount, but also made up his mind to build a floating city for Master Oroin that fully met his expectations.

After waiting for a few days, Master Huo Huai did not come to visit.

It wasn't until more than a month later that Ren's intelligence network noticed the change in Jupiler Mountain City. The Queen of Storms secretly mobilized a large amount of resources and sent them to the mountains west of the Principality of Hohaven. The wizards of Aglaron Floating Void City also appeared frequently .

There is the hidden place of Master Huo Huai, Shadow Valley!

Master Huo Huai's choice is obvious.

Ren had expected this news a long time ago, so he was not surprised and had no time to take it to heart. He is more concerned about another more important matter right now.

Viola is giving birth!
