Chapter 41 - The alliance between the wolf and the wasp
"Watch your harsh words! Viscount Hamann! If you insist on influencing our judgment with such chaser words, I have to think that you are messing with this meeting! β
Lu Ming shouted violently and rescued Yu Saha who was in trouble. But he wasn't entirely for Yusaha, but because if the viscount continued, it would be on him.
If Lu Ming was an obedient dog before, now he is completely a sword-biting wolf who chooses people to eat!
After yesterday's action to hunt down the Cursed Curse, the momentum on Lu Ming's body became very terrifying, so his loud shout startled everyone present.
Obviously he is a magic apprentice, but he can defeat a swordsman by leaping over the level. If such a sword-biting wolf starts a fire, most of the nobles present will have to kneel here.
Shocked by the momentum on Lu Ming's body, Viscount Haman, who didn't want to die, sat back on his seat in embarrassment, helplessly looking at Medivan behind a viscount opposite, showing off his might there, and couldn't say anything.
"Except for the children of these two countesses, I wonder if everyone agrees with Viscount Yuri Wenger of the Wenger family? As a young powerhouse in an old aristocratic family, he is just thirty years old this year, and he is already a great magician! Presumably, he will be able to lead us, too! β
"If Baron Mouth recommends Viscount Yuri Wengal, then I, Baron Simon Belmont, recommend a Viscount as well. That viscount is Viscount Alucardo Poragon! He is a disciple of the Grand Magister Sear, and his future is definitely bright! β
"Just because they have strength and a future doesn't mean they're fit to be lords! I, Viscount Haresan Ulla, recommend here, Count Nero Catolo, nephew of the previous lord, Count Neel Catolo! He was the nephew of the previous count, and the countess was the wife of the Earl of Neil, so when the countess died, the Count of Nero should have the right to inherit! β
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Lu Ming to scold Viscount Amane and make him dare not talk nonsense anymore, the two barons and a viscount immediately recommended the candidates they thought were suitable one after another.
In this regard, Lu Ming did not have any complaints, after all, he and Muka did not have any candidates they wanted to support, so as long as it was none of their business, then it would be good to watch the show.
It's just that his thoughts were seen through at a glance by Viscount Saldaro.
'Soul light! Without saying a word, he took refuge in the Hatu family. How are you going to keep me going on to investigate what's going on in the Erepos? β
Looking at Lu Ming, who was sitting there looking like a good show, Saldalo was annoyed and angry because his plan was disrupted. He stood up, looked at Lu Ming behind Muka, and asked, "I don't know, which one does Viscount Hatu and Baron Lu want to support to become a lord?" β
Without thinking that Saldalo would ask himself, Muka was taken aback, and for a moment, he couldn't say a word.
"We support Viscount Nero Catolo." Lu Ming, who was sitting behind Mka, saw that he was only six or seven years old and was asked by Saldaro, so he immediately stood up and answered Viscount Saldaro's question instead of Mka.
However, his answer stunned Saldalo and Count Nero, who had not expected him to answer like this. And You Saha, who had a relationship with Lu Ming for a while, simply glared at him through gritted teeth.
"I don't understand, Baron Lu, why you and Viscount Hatu support me, the nephew of the previous lord. In comparison, aren't both Hax and Yusaha better than me? Count Nero, who was in his thirties, asked Lu Ming in disbelief.
"It's simple. Because we think you'll be better able to lead us to rid the forest outside of the city than Hax or Yusaha. As far as I know, neither Hax nor Yusaha did anything against those monsters during yesterday's rampant. Instead, you, the Earl, are helping out in the city with servants and guards. β
"The two of them are sons and daughters of the countess, and for whatever reason they must be at the forefront. However, when the people needed them most, they chose to do nothing. It's hard for me to believe that these two people will really lead everyone out of this period of days covered by the shadow of monsters. β
"We are at a time when we are not in the quiet of the past, and we need an enterprising lord to lead us to suppress the other lords and their nobles in Errebos in terms of economy, agriculture, and strength. Now our city of Paris is being oppressed by the monsters of Helen's forest. We have to fight back. And the timidity of the two of them made me, as a member of Nivelheim, see the possibility of failure! β
"So instead of being aggressive, we need a bold lord who can lead us to defeat the monsters of the forest! And among all of you, I have only seen that you, Count Catolo, have such abilities and qualifications. So I, Lu Ming, the new nobleman of Nivelheim, chose to support Count Catolo! β
Lu Ming's words, those who supported Hax and Yusaha were speechless. After all, this is not a peaceful time, and the monsters outside the city were still wreaking havoc in the city yesterday, and it would be a mistake to forget about them.
"It's worthy of the salary king of the Immortal Squad, and he actually saw through the loopholes on our side and Hax's side at a glance." Medivan glared at Lu Ming, who was like a wolf, and whispered to Yu Saha and the barons who were also on the dark side.
"Salary King?" Yusaha heard Medivan's words and froze slightly.
"The Fran Immortals, like our Lord Eldridge, are the Salary Kings who shine with the sun. It's just that they want a bunch of people to add up, and they are the salary kings in the real sense. Not as powerful as Lord Eldridge. But compared to us people, the Lord of the Immortal Squad is an existence that cannot be offended. β
"Salary King"
Just as Yusaha was stunned by the honorific title of 'Salary King', six or seven-year-old Muka followed the words of his brother-in-law Lu Ming and said: "As Baron Lu thinks, I, Viscount Muka Hatu, also don't think that Hax and Yusaha can lead us. β
"So, what are we going to do when those monsters are wiped out? Count Nero's ability is very strong, but he doesn't have much ambition! Maybe it was because Muka was too young, so everyone didn't pay attention to him, but asked Lu Ming behind him.
Lu Ming glanced at those people lightly, knowing that they were all Hax's people, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart. But his face was very angry and asked, "Could it be that all of us here are decorations!?" β
"When the countess was in power, did she come up with most of the decisions alone? No! Regardless of which lord is in power, aren't the decisions made by us people together? β
"We are aristocrats! We're not ornaments! Don't be foolish enough to shift the blame to someone else! If we do that, the power in our hands will also be transferred to others! β
For a moment, there was silence in the conference room.
Lu Ming's words almost aroused the ambitions of the nobles of all parties, and it can be said that they have bad intentions.
However, whether they agreed with it or not, Viscount Saldalo and Count Nero Catolo, as well as all the nobles present, could not contradict his words. Because to oppose him is to oppose the power of nobles other than lords, which will cause public anger in an instant. When the time comes, no one will be able to save the fool.
"Now that everyone has chosen someone who can become our future lord, let's vote for it." Looking at the silent forces in the conference room, Viscount Saldalore said helplessly. He also asked people to hand over pen and paper and envelopes to all the nobles present, including Lu Ming, who did not know Mirakaisa's writing.
Fortunately, his brother-in-law Muka can write, and he can help Lu Ming write the name of Count Nero Catolo.
After everyone had voted, put the scrap of paper with the name of the person they had chosen to support in an envelope, sealed it with wax, printed his own seal ring, and handed it to the servant of Viscount SaldarΓ³, Saldalo asked everyone to go back first. As for the results of the vote, they will be announced one by one on the morning of the next day, in the square outside the Lord's Palace, under the watchful eyes of the nobles and some representatives of the common people.
picked up Muka, who was originally coming to watch the play, but did not admit that Lu Ming, who suddenly became the protagonist who shook the outcome of the meeting, walked out of the conference room quickly, preparing to leave the lord's mansion.
But halfway through, he was stopped by Yusaha.
"What's wrong?" Looking at You Saha with an angry face, Lu Ming asked with a frown.
"Nothing! It's just that the next time we meet, we'll be enemies! Baron Lu Ming! You Saha, who was taken away by Lu Ming, said with a grin.
"Enemy?" Lu Ming's expression darkened, and then he said, "I know." Next time, I won't show mercy to my men. β
After saying that, Lu Ming left with Muka in his arms, and he didn't have any idea of continuing to talk to Yusaha.
A relationship that is not very long, so it is completely written off. Lovers turned into enemies, and finally rested until death-
Medivan and other people from the dark forces stood not far behind You Saha and Lu Ming, looking at the two people who had broken up, and showed a smile that had succeeded in their treacherous plan.
"Lord Eldridge doesn't know how to reward me this time? However, if I can get the Immortal Salary King to join the Netherlands, I will surely get the same power from the Nether Church as the lowly woman of Yusaha Thatch. β
"We don't have to rush. If we can have Yusaha Thatch join us, we can also have Nero Catolo join us. As for the salary king who is not yet an immortal, what does he care? If he is not an immortal, can he really use the power of the Salary King? A chubby nobleman on the side looked at Lu Ming who was getting farther and farther away with a smile, and said to Mediven with a smile-
I'm going to fix everything you said badly!
