Four hundred and forty-eight choices
Not only is Arthur powerful, everyone knows that the Pope has regarded Arthur as an important training object, and now Arthur is not just a high priest who has broken the rules of the Holy See for hundreds of years, and the future is limitless.
The winner gets everything, and this has always been the rule of the game for the orcs.
At this time, Arthur's classmates were not idle, and there were some guests he had to face, such as his old boss, Master William.
At this time, William's triangle face was about to be pinched into four corners, a loss, a loss, although he pressed Arthur to win, but that point was not even a fraction of it, and he couldn't afford to make some money, and the result was all filled in.
"Did the supervisor come to see me?"
"Haha, Arthur, you're a joker, you're the pillar of our apostle!" William said solemnly.
"Don't dare to be, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, say, is there any good news?"
"Yes, of course there is, the winner of this time, the Holy See will give a big reward, don't you want to know what it is?" Master William said with a smile.
Zou Liang shrugged his shoulders indifferently, making William almost choke, "You really don't want to know?" ”
"It's a surprise to know sooner or later." Zou Liang said that he knew William too well, and he knew from this guy that he would definitely have to pay a price.
"Hehe, this is not just a surprise, you have to prepare in advance." William was not in a hurry.
Zou Liang still knows William's xìng grid better, and the other party is not so targeted, and he will not do that kind of opportunistic thing.
"Why don't you talk about it?"
"Hehe, His Majesty's opinion is to take out a city and give birth to a city lord in the true sense!"
William laughed.
Zou Liang was also shocked in his heart, "What do you mean?" ”
"Hehe, the supreme power of the temple and the archon, the true city lord!"
William's triangular eyes narrowed into a slit, and he didn't believe that this kid was not moved, nǎinǎi, he was moved.
"City Lord, yes, yes, I'm afraid the archon won't agree easily."
"It's not for you to have a cāo heart, I think you already know the crux of the matter, right?" William said.
"Which city is it?" Zou Liang asked directly.
"Hehe, the dispute is here, Tom City near Dìdū, the power of our Holy See is superior, the city of Kalunpol in the north, the power of the consuls is a little better, and the other is Dolan City that you are very familiar with, but the situation in Dolan City is more complicated and difficult now."
William swallowed his saliva, it was obvious that Thom City was the best, close to Dìdū, and at the same time, the Holy See was relatively strong, it was easy to take over, and there would be no situation where Yang Feng yīn violated, and the second choice was Kalunpol, although it was a little more difficult After all, it was a whole city, Dolan City...... If William didn't say anything, it was a ruin, and there were many wars, so there was no value at all.
"You are the hope of our apostles, and I will certainly help you to enter the city of Thom!" Lord William began to take credit.
In fact, a high-level meeting of the Senate was to be held in the evening, and William was entitled to participate in this matter.
Thom City is close to dìdū, the transportation is convenient, the city is also very well built, it can be described as full of oil and water, with a population of about one million, it is definitely a good city.
Ruling a city like this, under one man, above ten thousand people, is definitely something that everyone dreams of, and such a good thing is about to befall Arthur, frankly, even William envy.
Zou Liang looked at William and smiled, "My lord, isn't it inconvenient for the apostle ranks to turn around recently?" ”
"Alas, you also know that we have a lot of money in the ranks of the apostles, and there is almost nothing to gain, and I have lost a little bit recently, and it is really not very easy to rely on the above allocation and the donations of believers, you see I have lost weight."
Zou Liang smiled, and scolded secretly in his heart, this kind of shameless words can be opened up, it is indeed deeper than him, this guy is at the level of an Oscar actor.
Having said that, it's obviously an exchange.
"As a member of the ranks of the apostles, I should do my best, so let's ask the fifth sister to give you a golden ticket in a while."
William's face immediately bloomed like a lily, "Haha, I knew that Priest Arthur was the most devout believer!" ”
A golden ticket is 10,000 gold coins, which is quite amazing, and William knows very well that he is at most the icing on the cake, and he does not dare to open his mouth, this amount has exceeded imagination.
"However, I want Lord William to help communicate, I want to go to Dolan City!"
Zou Liang said very seriously.
William was stunned, really stunned, he never dreamed that Arthur would choose Dolan City.
"Arthur, are you sure that the situation in Dolan City is not very good right now,...... Very bad, to be exact! ”
"Lord William, I am both a priest and an apostle of the beast god, and the other two cities don't need me." Zou Liang said very sincerely.
William stared at Arthur deadly, he really couldn't figure out whether this kid was real or fake???
The Pope also wants to arrange for him to go to Thom City, but he thinks that the opposition will be fierce, not only outside the Holy See, but also inside, after all, everyone knows the relationship between Arthur and Subaru, this disciple is very sensitive.
Zou Liang smiled calmly, "I don't want to embarrass everyone, and I'm still young, it's better to sharpen it!" ”
William was indeed suppressed by Arthur, if he was not familiar with Arthur, he would think that Arthur was a brain-hot little idiot, because he was not so naïve in life, but on the contrary, he knew Arthur very well, this guy was a little fox in a bear's skin!
But on the surface, it's really leaky.
William still expressed his respect, left with a smile on his face with the golden ticket, received the money, and things were easy to do, who wasn't happy?!
"Big brother, why did you choose Dolan City?" Avril was a little puzzled.
Zou Liang put his hand on his neck and leaned against the back of the chair, "What do you think?" ”
"Do you have feelings for Dolan City?" Avril said.
Zou Liang smiled, "On the one hand, I won't be emotional about such a big matter." ”
"Thom City is naturally good, but everyone is watching, everyone is staring at every move, the power of the Senate is so huge, although I am the city lord, but I am afraid it is not so easy to do anything, a small mistake will be magnified, we just have a name, we can't compete with any family in terms of power, the old forces are complicated, and if one is not good, we will fall into it." Zou Liang said slowly.
"Kalunpol, the sphere of influence of the consul system, and in the north, the infighting is too fierce, it's not interesting!"
When he said this, Zou Liang had a different kind of momentum, the struggle for power was simply internal friction, and it was easy to consume fighting spirit, the most important thing is that Zou Liang knew very well what it was like outside, the country of the wind, Hannibal, and the tiger was eyeing him.
Born in sorrow and died in peace!
"Big brother, you want to build your own world!"
That is, only his own family would say such "rebellious" words, Avril's eyes lit up.
"Dolan City, located in the south, the inherent influence can be exerted, and we have a foundation to defend the city, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the senators will not care too much, although it is a little broken, but these can be changed, and geographically, it is not too far from the borders of the wilderness, the country of wind, and Hannibal, hehe, danger sometimes means opportunity!"
"Big brother, I understand, everything will be done according to your wishes!"
Avril really understands Arthur's heart, others still underestimate Arthur's "ambition", he doesn't really care much about the changes in his position, the important thing is to cultivate his own power, and the power is obviously more suitable in Dolan City.
What they lacked was money before, but now the last thing they lack is money.
"How's the money recovered?"
"Big brother, you can now be regarded as one of the top ten richest people in dìdū, and they are all cash." Avril laughed.
"How much?"
"Converted in a mess, there are 28.53 million gold coins, and the total profit of each project in the beast spirit store during this period is also more than 2 million gold coins, we can use the cash flow of 30 million gold coins, we can do anything!"
The real amount is only known to Avril, and the outside only knows that it is huge, but in fact, it can't be described as huge, and there are still a few people like the Gabriel family, but there are too many people involved!
Zou Liang nodded, not shocked by this number, similar to a network effect, nothing can stand up to the number of people, and dìdū is indeed surplus, the beast clan gambles xìng and heavy, not to mention that it is so obviously "cheap".
Avril was infinitely impressed in her heart, and when she settled, she was shocked and smirked for half an hour, and the eldest brother was so light when he heard it.
"Send someone to Dolan City to inquire about the situation, buy some necessities, and use them soon."
Zou Liang only needs to give an idea, let Avril defend and do the rest, more or less controlled by Avril, the target has already told Avril, she must be measured, Zou Liang wants to turn Dolan City into a base camp under his full control!
Avril believes that Arthur will definitely succeed, who would have thought that when he first met Arthur in the Mosa Library on the night road, this person would now become the lord of the city?!
In the evening, in the Senate room.
The Pope, the Archon, the Minister, the President of the Three Professional Guilds, the President of the Engraver's Guild, the Adventurer's Guild President, the Patriarch of the Nicholas Family, the Patriarch of the Gabriel Family, and the Apostolic Rank Dìdū Governor were all present, and these eleven people formed the Supreme Council of the Senate.
The general decision is made by these eleven people, to be precise, usually ten people, and when it comes to special events, plus an apostolic ranking, if the meeting cannot reach a consensus, it is voted on by a show of hands, and if it is still tied, it is voted on by the Senate.
Everyone already knows the proposal, that is, the reward of the city lord proposed by the Pope, because it involves the power of other forces, so it must be mentioned here for approval.
The Pope is still lazy, and Benedictine XV does not seem to have any intention of discussing it today, and does not give Sánchez a chance to speak generously.
"It's a simple thing, the purpose is to give young people a chance, now show your hands to vote, and if you agree, please raise your hands."
Benedictine XV said lightly, and with the power of great victory, the Pope was the first to raise his hand.
The second one to raise his hand was the leader of the Adventurer's Guild O'Dona, O'Dona had already set up a carriage and horses to support Arthur, from the very beginning when the strongest beast spirit store was stationed in Dìdū, the Adventurer's Guild helped a lot, but everyone couldn't guess why Odona would support Arthur so much.
