In the face of Winchester's frustrating words, Oswid was silent and did not refute it. He couldn't argue with it.

The experience of these years has taught Oswigh one thing, and that is that a traditional spellcaster like him is really not fit to govern a country...... Oswid finally realized how naïve he was, he dreamed of saving Askatra, he wanted to bridge the gap between the two classes in the city, he wanted more ordinary citizens to enjoy the dividends of urban development, he wanted to make the city more fair.

At that time, Ascatra was on the verge of civil war, and the contradictions between the aristocratic merchants and ordinary citizens had become extremely acute.

And the commoners, on the other hand, hope that the noble lords will open their eyes to see their current situation, they need work, they need bread.

The contradiction between the two is not irreconcilable, and there are many smart people in the original council, who hope that the government can stimulate the economy of the whole city through various measures, such as a large number of infrastructure projects, so that more people can benefit. Don't think that the people of Pharen don't understand economics, in fact, there are smart people everywhere.

It's a pity that there is always a group of people who make rat droppings to spoil a pot of soup, and a group of people with ulterior motives strongly support the government to pass the funding plan, but it is not the civilians who benefit, but them. In fact, there is nothing new in the practice of these people, it is nothing more than some measures such as corruption and bribery, which corrupt officials throughout the ages have played like this.

In short, the whole bailout plan did not play the role expected in advance, but put the financial situation of the Amm Council into a crisis, and later, even if someone proposed the bailout plan again, the poor financial situation made the council unable to spend a large amount of money.

As for the tax hike...... Not to mention, after all, after the tax increase, it is always those nobles and merchants who will suffer the most, so this proposal was also rejected. In short, the parliament simply turned a blind eye to the voices of the people, and they took it for granted that the situation would improve over time.

Are they really stupid? Of course not, they just don't want their interests to be compromised. As for the lives and deaths of the civilians? They don't bother to care! In their opinion, these untouchables should have stayed at home and starved to death, instead of running out to cause trouble for them.

In this way, the city was on the verge of civil war in the antagonism between the two classes.

Oswidder had been naïve enough to think he could stop this. At the root of all this, in his view, was the unwillingness of the upper classes of Ascatra to sacrifice their own interests to save the city, and in Oswid's view, this problem was not difficult to solve.

As long as you force those people to concede a part of their interests!

It is also because of this trend of thought that Oswid has embarked on an extremely dangerous path, and he intends to eliminate the two legends in the Masked Mage's Guild who support the aristocratic faction! Originally, Oswig didn't have this ability, even if he pulled Zalanona.

But who gave Oswigh a hole card?

That's Winchester!

The plan went well, and the three of them joined forces to kill one legendary mage who supported the aristocratic faction and wounded another. This greatly damaged the forces that supported the aristocratic faction, and they could no longer resist Osvid.

It's a pity that Oswigh had miscalculated one thing, and that was the human heart.

The human heart is a very mysterious thing, sometimes it is so great that it is shocking, and sometimes it is depraved and disgusting. The nobles did not succumb to Auswid's strong pressure, but became mad because they did not want to lose their interests.

Coupled with a series of accidents, Oswigh's attempt to stop the civil war broke out completely, and the civil war broke out anyway, and the aristocracy's counterattack was so dangerous. In just a few months, the whole of Amm fell apart at once.

At the same time, Ascatra was also tormented by the civil war, although Osvid used his great strength to get the aristocratic diehards and a group of rebels to leave the city, but the damage had already been done, and everything was irreparable.

What's more, Oswid had no talent for domination, and he was at a loss for the complexities of politics and people's livelihood. To make matters worse, in the aftermath of the civil war, Auschwid deposed a large number of aristocratic bureaucrats and forced the wealthy to hand over a considerable portion of their profits to compensate the common people.

Without a large number of bureaucrats, Oswid's policies could not be implemented at all, so by now, the remaining nobles were dissatisfied with Osvet, and the commoners did not have a good opinion of him.

At the same time, the city has not changed for the better.

Sometimes Oswigh himself thought it was ridiculous, he wanted to save the city, but he didn't expect that not only did he achieve nothing, but he was also called hostile by everyone.

A complete failure......

Oswigh took a deep breath, suppressed all the negative emotions, and said with a strong spirit: "It's not that bad, I've already thought of a way!" After saying that, he didn't care about Winchester's reaction, and took out the monster staff of Chirieles that he had just obtained from Soram and showed it to Winchester.

In Winchester's time, Ciriles' monster staff was already famous, so he recognized it immediately.

The greatest use of Ciriles' Monster Staff is not to summon monsters, in fact, its monster summoning spell is not a difficult thing for high-level mages, and what really makes this staff comparable to an artifact is another of its abilities.

It is possible to subdue an undead creature, and there are no restrictions on the number of subdues! As long as it's an undead creature, it's fine! This is very powerful, after all, there are many ridiculously strong undead in the multiverse, such as winter ghosts, shrinkers, empty shadows, etc., these ghosts can even kill gods!

Of course, if someone could subdue these powerful undead, he wouldn't really need Ciriles' monster staff.

But for Winchester, Ciriles' Monster Staff is undoubtedly the best way to solve the problem at this stage!

As long as Winchester agrees, then Oswald will be able to use the power of the monster staff of Ciriles to seal him away. At that time, even if Winchester completely turned into Winchester the Dead, he would not be able to escape the control of the monster staff of Ciriles. That would minimize Winchester's destructive power!

And after being controlled by Cirilies' monster staff, Oswid could even use the staff's power to help Winchester resist the will of the Horned Crown.

It's a double win!
