Chapter 988

Temple of Truth, chamber.

The members of the empire stepped onto the stage one by one and walked towards the voting table in the middle. When they passed by Ren, they saw the consul's face was calm and his deep eyes fell on him, and they immediately felt tremendous pressure.

Most of the more than 300 congressmen have had contact with the consul over the years.

They are either shareholders of subcontinental trading companies, earning a lot of money, and their wealth has increased ten times, or even hundreds of times in just ten years; or they have participated in the construction of cities in the New World, investing countless funds, and have not yet received any returns , was tied to the consul's boat and couldn't get off at all.

There are also some members of the empire who are imperial officials, governors of provinces, important positions in the legion, mayors, and cabinet ministers.

Most of the swing members are noble lords, as well as high-level figures from the Machinery Union, the Church of the Earth, and the Church of Justice.

past few months.

The Duke of Gray Eagle met with the councilors in private, but what Gray Eagle didn't know was that most of the councilors met with the consul beforehand, and some of them afterwards.

Interest is the strongest bond.

How to choose between the Consul and the Duke of Greyhawk, almost every swing member gave the same answer.

A few members who are more stubborn or have ulterior motives find that they have no secrets in front of the consul. The consul can always see his bottom line at a glance, push himself into a corner, and give himself no room to waver.

Those councilors who betrayed the Balance faction and the Nether faction were also wavering in the same way.

Gems are thrown into the container of approval.

Up votes are rising fast!

On the rostrum, the expressions of the holy soul wizards are different. The eyes of Tim Kenan and Kelstone almost burst into flames, but they are just projections. The rune circle arranged on the stage is controlled by Ren , Ryan alone easily suppressed the entire Supreme Council.

The two looked at the imperial councilors who voted for it, and their faces became more and more ugly.

It's nothing more than a traitorous congressman. What's even more frightening is that some people who hadn't revealed their attitude before even voted for it.

Belisariu, the chief vice president of the Mechanical Trade Union, and three other vice presidents;

Dean Margaret of Alatusa Academy, the most famous destruction warlock in the empire, and the spiritual leader of more than 70% of the warlocks;

Except for Glamorgan, the five nobles in Modu all support Rennes without exception;

The northern aristocrats of the empire are headed by the "Marquis of Jerimu" Batura. For the past ten years, he has served as the Minister of Military and Political Affairs of Rennes. Members of the nobility, they followed Baratu and fell to Wren;

"Battula!"

Kelstone couldn't believe it.

Batura has been his most loyal ally for hundreds of years. When Rennes invited him to be the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, he also asked himself for instructions. Considering the importance of the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, he can still keep an eyeliner beside Rennes. So I agreed.

He never expected that Batura actually betrayed him!

Kelstone also came to himself in his anger.

No wonder Batura didn't meet with him face to face in the past two years. He knew that he could read his mind, so he didn't dare to appear in front of him and expose the fact that he had betrayed.

Not long after Batura, the city lord Hestav of Shenzhen-Hong Kong City also came to power and voted for it without hesitation.

Shenzhen-Hong Kong City is the head of the nine cities in the "Turde Trading City-State". The city owners of the other eight cities are all members of the Empire. Also follow support.

Hestaff's influence was not limited to the trading city-states, and the southern nobles of the empire, headed by him, voted for it one after another.

There are no holy soul wizards in the southern part of the empire, but they are the starting point of the golden sea route, the trade is developed, and they are deeply involved in the trade activities of the subcontinent, and their interests have long been bound together.

Next, the heads of the major legions of the empire also came to power.

The heads and deputy heads of the three major knights, the Arcane Sword, the Iron Knights and the Dragon Lizard Knights, all voted in favor; three of the four major legions, the Rick Guards, the Storm Legion and the Alpha Hammer, expressed his support for Rennes.

Only the Griffon Legion voted against it. Their base was on the northern prairie, and they had been bound to the Nether faction since their establishment, and even Rennes couldn't get involved.

The strength of the imperial army has risen to a higher level overall in the past few years.

Every legion is expanding, even directly doubling.

Because the number of superhumans in the empire is increasing, it is easy to recruit qualified superhumans;

At the same time, Renn sold a large amount of black soul potions to the Imperial Army at a lower price, and purchased them in a unified manner and supplied them on a regular basis, so that the strength of the extraordinary in the Imperial Army increased rapidly.

The next few imperial congressmen who came to power voted in favor one after another.

After the initial anger, Tim Kenan and Kelstone suddenly calmed down when they saw this scene, with gloom and surprise in their eyes. Master Congerald, Master Huo Huai, including Anse Wodoss and members of the Modus faction, all looked shocked.

These are representatives of the Earth Church and the Justice Church.

There are not many people, each church has three, and the status in the church is not considered top, barely entering the upper class, far from the Pope's level.

However, they represent two churches!

The empire is the empire of wizards, the mortal kingdom of the goddess of magic. Although the three gods are side by side, wizards are the real ruling class. The Mother Earth and the God of Justice also acquiesced to this rule, and they restrained the church from participating in imperial politics.

Therefore, the two major churches have only three representatives in the Imperial Parliament. When voting, they generally follow the trend or abstain from voting and remain neutral.

Today, they all voted yes.

Although it is still possible to follow the crowd to vote and not really support Rennes as a lifelong consul, even if it is only a possibility, it is very amazing.

"Could it be that the Church of the Earth and the Church of Justice also fell to Rennes?"

The holy soul wizards were in shock.

The number of votes in favor increased one by one, and the holy soul wizards couldn't help but look at Ren frequently, only to see that Ren also turned his head, but Ren's attention was not on Tim Kenan or Kelstone, he paid attention to The people let everyone unexpected.

Black Robe Duke Touzlei!

Ren's gaze touched Tuzre's, and then he paused.

Tuzret didn't seem to notice it, as usual, there was no change in expression on his face, with an attitude of not wanting to interfere at all, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was distracted.

But after a few seconds, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ren.

The golden hourglass flashed in Tuzre's pupils, and then he regained his composure, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a meaningful expression to Ren.

Time went back to a few minutes ago.

In the lower part of the Underdark, Raistlin borrowed Kuilu's guide stone and continuously cast the group teleportation technique, quickly teleporting his ten archmages towards Elaine Tor.

Soon, the Archmages manifest near the nearest waystone.

In Raistlin's eyes, an ancient gate made of countless worms appeared, and his sight penetrated layers of void, locking on Elaine's direction.

A few seconds later, he successfully opened a portal.

The spatial coordinates of this portal that penetrates the dark region are distorted, and the teleportation point precisely falls in a cave outside Elaento. The archmages enter the portal, which is less than five kilometers away from Elaento. You can directly enter the city by teleportation.

The figures of the ten archmages disappeared one after another, and they circled Elaine, hiding in all directions outside the city.

Raistlin began to cast the spell.

First, he arranged a concealment sound in the cave to cover up his spellcasting fluctuations.

Then, holding the staff, he poured a huge amount of mana, and the straight staff shone with a strange magical brilliance, which lasted for a full minute, and finally finished casting the spell.

Ten Rings Spell-True Mirror Image!

An identical Raistlin was created, with thin body and pale complexion. This true mirror image has everything Raistlin possesses, knowledge and thinking, magic items and staff on his body, and can exist for an hour, no different from the real body.

Raistlin was already level thirty-four!

The true mirror image technique was the first ten-ring spell he mastered. After studying the endless storm staff and having many times of casting experience, he built the spell model in his soul in only half a month.

The two Raistlins cast again, still true mirror image!

They held the "Endless Storm" staff in their hands, injected mana, and triggered the true mirror image attached to the staff.

A minute later, two Raistlins became four.

The four Raistlins looked at each other, it was like copying and pasting, they had the same mind, and they had exactly the same powerful spellcasting ability!

The casting interval of the true mirror image is one day, and the true mirror image attached to the endless storm has to be cooled for seven days. The true mirror image can no longer cast the true mirror image, and the duplicated endless storm has also been triggered, so there can only be four Raistlins at most at the same time.

But that's enough.

A real mirror waved his staff and teleported into Elaento instantly.

More than ten years have passed, and nothing has changed in this illithid city.

Two huge rift valleys interlaced to form an "X" shape. Lava rolled under the rift valleys, and countless caves were carved out of the vertical cliffs, where tens of thousands of gray dwarf slaves lived.

Several underground underground rivers flowed down from the top of the rift valley, forming waterfalls and falling into the magma. The cold and heat collided and continued to make violent explosions. The river water was steamed by the high temperature, and the lava lake was covered with thick mist. wet the cliffs.

On the lava lake in the middle of the city stands a huge rock in the shape of a mountain. The interior has been hollowed out and built into layers of buildings, like a tower.

A gloomy palace was built on the top floor of the huge rock. Countless murals in the shape of illithids, tentacles, and tadpoles were carved on the walls.

The vastness of this spiritual energy has reached the point where it can be seen with the naked eye.

It is like a layer of glowing blue-purple light, which has the effect of taking the soul away, and it is also like a living thing. If you look at it a few times, you will have hallucinations. Many caves, stone bridges and tunnels above the cliffs are also equipped with corresponding rune circles and magic traps.

A strange spiritual light was revealed everywhere in the city of Elaento, as if entering a twisted world in a nightmare.

The all-seeing eye cannot see through this aura, and is limited everywhere, just like looking at flowers through fog.

The real mirror image stayed in the rift for a moment, and then jumped again, entering the palace on the top of the huge rock.

Same as back then.

The huge palace was extremely empty, as silent as a tomb, except for a circular pool in the middle, there was nothing else.

Raistlin's real mirror bowed to the pool and said softly, "Master Oglevi, here I come."

The surface of the water churned, and a ball of light rose up from under the water.

The light cluster gradually spread out, and a tall and thin figure appeared from it. He was wearing a gorgeous black and purple magic robe, and he was holding a silver-gray staff in his withered hand. On the top of the staff was a dragon claw, holding a Strange eyeballs the size of a fist, with pupils in the shape of an hourglass.

He has an ugly and huge head, which seems to be forcibly spliced ​​on the torso, and the skull is peeled off, revealing the ravines of the brain, which looks creepy.

There were six shriveled lavender tentacles hanging from the chin, hanging feebly on the chest.

Where the face was originally, there were only two sunken hollows, and there were two dancing blue flames in the depths.

It is Master Ogulev!

Oglevi floated over from the water in the brain pool, landed lightly, the back of his gorgeous robe dragged on the ground, stared at Raistlin, and the flames in his eye sockets danced a few times.

"You always surprise me, Ryan."

Ogulev's voice was as indifferent as ever, and when he spoke, the tentacles on his chin curled and trembled unconsciously, "It's only a short ten years since you got the mastermind's heart and creation technique from me, and you have created so many powerful I have some regrets about my avatar."

Obviously, he has noticed the archmage outside Elaineto.

"Grandmaster."

The true mirror image of Raistlin said sincerely, "I have no intention of being your enemy. I came to Elaineto to visit the master today, just to find out the master's attitude."

"I'm my enemy, haha..." Ogulev laughed, and there was no smile on his face covered with only a layer of dry skin. He seemed to be mocking, and asked, "Is that why you want to be emperor?"

"yes."

The real mirror image answered frankly.

"More than a thousand years ago, the 'Usurper' Walden and the 'Carfranz II' were both defeated. I took the opportunity to create the Supreme Council and seized the power of the empire. I just didn't want to see the empire have an emperor again, and let Orienth become A kingdom ruled by wizards."

Ogulev briefly described the past history, the flames in his eyes froze, and his voice did not show any emotional ups and downs.

"Now, how dare you tell me that you want to be emperor?"

The Lich, the mastermind of the illithid, suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura. The three energies of arcane magic, psionic energy, and death force were as vast as the sea, condensed into a substance, and distorted the surrounding void to the extreme, forming a bottomless black void. The light is swallowed up.

Amidst the roar, the entire palace was shaking violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Facing Ogulev's coercion directly, Raistlin suddenly smiled and said calmly, "Master, please calm down, this is not good for your mental state."

He probably figured out what Ogulev was thinking.

Appears furious, but actually calm.

Ogulev, who was really angry, would never just use coercion to scare people. When he wanted to do something, he would not even say a word of nonsense.

He is afraid!

The surging magic wave suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before, Ogulev snorted coldly: "What if I object?"

"Then I have to experience the master's magical power." Raistlin's real mirror image replied: "Just taking this opportunity, I hope to prove one thing to the master: I, Ren Augustus, is absolutely qualified to be Emperor of Orienth!"

After the voice fell, thirteen figures teleported into the palace and scattered around the brain pool.

"Arsha has met Master Ogulevi."

"Xavier..."

"Saruman..."

"Marvolo..."

"Strange..."

"Ryze..."

"Rand Therin..."

"Ishamel..."

"Brace..."

"Macado has met Master Ogulevi."

Raistlin and the ten archmages saluted the most powerful wizard in history and reported their names.

The blue flames in Ogulev's eye sockets flickered sharply.

He noticed that there were powerful spellcasters hidden outside Elaine, but he didn't expect that there were so many, let alone that Ren's archmage avatar was of such a high level!

All four Raistlins are above level 30!

Among the ten archmages, the two self-proclaimed "Saruman" and "Macado" are also above level 30, and the remaining eight are all close to level 30. Everyone exudes amazing mana fluctuations, mastering Many nine-ring spells are much stronger than spellcasters of the same level.

Arcane, psionic, shadow, earth, water, fire and wind, the collision of surging energy causes an invisible storm.

There are so many archmages, enough to rival the entire Supreme Council!
