Chapter 31: Race for the mayor

Finally, the king slowly walked out from the back of the guard of honor.

He had changed into a magnificent robe, wore a jewel-encrusted crown, and held a staff of pure gold to symbolize power

The crowd cheered and celebrated the return of the king

[I don't know how much money our country has earned this time?]

[It is estimated that there must be hundreds of thousands]

[The minimum is 2 million]

How much the two sailors earned for the king quarreled fiercely

But at this moment, the king waved his scepter, and suddenly the gold fell like raindrops, and the crowd shouted for joy, and stretched out their hands to grab the gold that fell from the sky

The crowd went mad, and they shouted,

[Long live the king, long live the principality of Ficher]

Now in their eyes, the king is their god, and those who disobey the king are great sinners

And the king, barefoot, stepped on the backs of the people, and went down the stairs.

He looked at the carpet made of satin on the ground, and seemed a little dissatisfied

【。。。 】

Seeing this, the ministers on the side leaned down one after another and hurriedly used their bodies to pave the way for the king

He tilted his head and squinted his eyes, naturally feeling the texture of this new carpet,

The ministers on the ground, trampled under the feet of the king, could not bear the king's fat body for a while, twitched slightly, and let out an inaudible whisper

At this time, Princess Freya finally changed into his most proud dress, and Lexiang also changed into a long dress, leading her long skirt behind the princess's back, and trotting all the way

On the garden path, you can already hear the voices of people, cheers and screams from the port square, all filled with happiness and worship

The two of them hastened to get to the square before the king made his speech.

【Beast Spirit Acceleration】

Freya unconsciously used this skill, and her speed doubled, and Lexiang behind her hurriedly followed, almost tearing the silk skirt,

When the soldier saw the appearance of Princess Freya, he quickly made way for the princess to pass,

The king had just stepped onto the podium at this time, and Freya hurried to the side of the queen mother.

[Dear people, God has given me this opportunity to rebuild our homeland, and I cannot live up to your expectations,]

[With your blessing and blessing, our fleet overcame all obstacles, defeated the pirates, repelled the Kraken, and harvested unexpected wealth]

[THIS IS INSEPARABLE FROM YOUR HARD WORK, AND DAY AND NIGHT OF PIOUS PRAYERS, I THANK YOU AGAIN, AVE FEIQTH]

When the people heard the king's eloquent speech, they could not help but burst into tears, and they raised their hands, as if they could grasp the power in the king's voice.

They shouted again,

[Long live the king, long live Ficher]

The cheers and screams continued for a long time, and the king, as if satisfied, raised his hand slightly,

The king's high-pitched voice sounded again,

[Before I came back, I heard a news that made me extremely excited, my daughter, that is, your princess, finally returned to me after more than ten years of life]

[I will choose the best swordsman among the people to protect my daughters, and they will be the happiest couple]

Freya looked at the king in amazement,

[What did he just say?]

She couldn't believe her ears

When night falls, the city is still immersed in the afterglow of happiness

Elegant music was playing in the palace at this time, and all the princes and nobles were gathered around the king.

The eldest prince was no exception, he was followed by two maids, holding delicate boxes containing rare treasures

The king of the kingdom just glanced at it, nodded at the prince, and motioned for him to stand down,

At this time, a woman in red is late, she is the priestess of the principality, the cat of the phantasmal moon

The king smiled, pushed away the crowd, and walked towards her,

He put his arms around the waist of the woman in red, without any scruples, the eyes of the people around him,

[Phantom Moon, what good news did you bring me this time?]

The woman in red took out her wand from the crack, and with a slight wave, the illusory appearance of a young man instantly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Freya cried out in surprise at this time, but in the next second, she tightly covered her mouth,

At the familiar face, she was a little worried and a little excited at this time

[He's still alive]

She muttered

The king asked

[What is this?]

He didn't seem to care, and let go of the hand holding the woman in red,

Phantom Moon waved her wand lightly again

And the man's face vanished,

She went on to say

[Lord King, Ore Town no longer belongs to us now]

The king did not seem to be in the mood to listen, and he looked at his daughter

[This time, I just chose an excellent swordsman for my daughter, and let them calm this commotion]

Freya hurriedly said,

[I think it's still too early, I'm not ready yet]

The queen mother on the side also nodded,

The king seemed to ignore the richly dressed woman and smiled at Freya

[That's good, I'm not reluctant, but within a year and a half, you have to find the person you like]

The king paced slowly towards her with his glass in his hand,

[It is said that you have been practicing fencing recently, otherwise, let your subordinate Lexiang go out for you]

The eldest prince came over at this time, lowered his head and suggested,

[Father, my sister is still young, or let me take her on the expedition]

The king did not pay attention to him, but just shook his head

The eldest prince had no choice but to retreat silently.

Freya had no choice but to agree

The king took a ring from his sleeve and said

[This is what your biological mother is wearing, I have always taken it with me, and this time I will pass it on to you]

Freya was startled and looked back at the queen in fancy clothes

【。。。 】

I was stunned for a moment.

That night, the king gave the order for Lechan to go out with his troops.

Freya looked at Lexiang on horseback and quietly handed her her own red bracelet

However, at this moment, the Phantom Moon Priest, who appeared behind him in the dark night, released a strange spell to the bracelet

Lexiang nodded to the princess, and set off with five hundred royal infantry behind him.

At this time, a feast was also being held in Ore Town

When they had eaten and drunk enough, they proposed

[We should elect a mayor who really cares about them]

[I think the tavern owner is good]

【The owner of the textile shop can】

[The son of the owner of the gem shop is also quite smart]

Everyone is gossiping, and the fight is inexorable

At this time, the tavern owner stood up, raised his glass and said to the people,

[I think the matter of electing the mayor must convince everyone, or it will be held tomorrow to run a general meeting and let everyone make their own decisions]

Everyone raised their glasses in agreement, and Groot, who was in the crowd, heard the news and decided to seize the opportunity.

If he mastered the resources of this place in Ore Town, it would be of great benefit to his growth, and he immediately got up and began to prepare.

It was just dawn, and all the townspeople were gathered at the intersection, dozens of members of the town were standing at the podium, some were preparing their speeches and dressed neatly, some were drinking and brazen, and some were stretching their shoulders and relaxing.

However, there was a particularly discordant shadow in the crowd, and this man, dressed in a tattered robe and carrying a burlap bag in his hand, was undoubtedly Groot.

Everyone else looked at him with disdain, as if he was an outlier.

[Little brother, don't make trouble, dress like this, I'm afraid you're not here to beg for food]

A young man scoffed

Groot just smiled and ignored him.

[The first candidate is invited]

The host handed him the loudspeaker,

The candidate was a little nervous, coughing incessantly, and his face was flushed

He looked down, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know where to put it

[I am the son of a blacksmith, you can call me little smith, my father, he spent his life building the town day and night to make ore... Well... The base metal materials of the mine, but I think that these are not enough]

[I think we should, everyone learns to strike iron, and then]

Everyone laughed, and it was evident that Mr. Smith, who did not seem to be ready to say anything, walked on with a red face and an ugly face

The host said with a smile

[I hope everyone had better prepare a draft in advance, otherwise it will be ugly, but it will be very embarrassing]

He retracted his smile and held out his hand to continue

[The second candidate is invited]

This is, the man in black who was still fat walked up, and Groot saw that this was not the strange man who made the potion

He was very excited, snatched the speaker from the host's hand, and shouted loudly

[Bed bugs, I have the best potion on it, it can cure all diseases, only 100 terry a bottle, first come, first served]

Boos from below, fruits, banana peels, eggs, and eggs were thrown in his face,

【Oops】,

The strange screamed and tried to flee, but stepped on the corner of his robe and rolled down the stairs

The embarrassed host picked up the microphone on the ground and wiped it

[Please also ask the next candidates to improve their quality, this is not a vegetable market, nor is it a place for you to sell, we choose the mayor, not a salesman]

[So now, please invite the third person to play]

At this time, the old woman from yesterday came up from below, with her son

[My son is 24 years old this year, he is strong, and he is really looking for one]

The crowd was furious

【Go down】

The host shouted loudly with a super microphone

[Don't come up if you have nothing to do with it, let me say it a few times before I understand]

He sorted out his emotions and continued

[Now the 4th place is invited to play today]

Finally, it was the tavernkeeper's turn.

He seemed to have changed into a neat night dress to-day, his beard was clean-shaven, and his head was smeared with several thick layers of oil, and he looked as shiny as his leather shoes

【Pedal Da Da】

came to the stage with a big grin

He grabbed the host's microphone and cleared his throat

【Hey】

[Dear fellow villagers, those who are familiar with me should know that I am loyal and honest, enthusiastic and kind, close to my neighbors, and do not do things that deceive and deceive]

Everyone laughed, but they didn't talk much

[That's right]

As a result, the boss continued

[Today, I am excited and nervous to run, the mayor of our ore town,]

[I promise, if everyone chooses me to be the mayor of the town, the drinks in my store will be served for free for a week]

Everyone laughed

[I don't want to drink the water-mixed wine in your store, so don't make a fuss about your store]

The boss looked flustered and said nervously

[I never drink alcohol in my water!]

After speaking, he returned the microphone to the host

The moderator smiled at the summary

[Everyone should learn from the store manager, although everyone knows the quality of the wine in his store, but at least he is very polite and worth learning from everyone - now please play the fourth place]

[This is]

Someone looked at this beautiful girl and forgot to blink their eyes

The flower-like woman slowly paced onto the stage

[Hello everyone, I am the female owner of the lily shop, and the business in the store is usually taken care of by everyone, thank you very much.

[Today, I finally mustered up the courage to run for the position of mayor, please bear with me]

[Whistle]

The men all looked very excited, and the atmosphere was brought to a climax

The woman pulled out a bouquet of flowers from behind her

[I think our town, the environment is really too bad, we should plant flowers everywhere, if I become the mayor of the town, I will change all the shops into flower shops, what do you think of my proposal]

Everyone felt incredible and laughed awkwardly

The beautiful girl had to pout and get off the stage.

The moderator continued

[Now the 6th person is invited to the stage],

I saw a young and handsome man, wearing a dance costume, walked up, he tidied up the buckle, and took the microphone in the host's hand

[Wow so handsome]

I don't know who said it

The man winked at the lady and said

[Hello everyone, I have been practicing for more than two years]

As he spoke, he suddenly sang and jumped, and the men below booed and motioned for him to go down

The moderator explained

[This is not a singing and dancing show, please be serious],

[Now there is the 7th place, please]

This is, for the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes walked up, everyone was silent, this is the biggest gang boss in Ore Town,

He took the microphone slowly handed by the host and said slowly

[We, Ore Town, need a stable development environment. So, I think it's important to choose someone who has prestige and the ability to grow, right?

The crowd remained silent,

He continued

[The former mayor of the town, everyone suffered from it, if it was normal at that time, I declare in advance that I will not take a penny from you, but will use more money to build infrastructure to help you have a better living environment,]

[First, I will repair the water conservancy and dig 10 new wells in the town],

[Second, planting trees, within three years, the vegetation will reach the general coverage rate]

[Third, I will reduce the redemption so that everyone can make more money]

[Fourth, improve the safety of urban protection and increase investment in militia equipment]

The people were silent, bowing their heads, not daring to look at him

He nodded and handed the microphone back to the host

[We should treat everyone equally, everyone should not be biased, now please come up to the 8th]

Everyone was a little dissatisfied, this boss, he was usually the type to walk sideways on the street, the townspeople had long been dissatisfied with him, no matter how he assured him now, no one would trust him.

At this time, a young man in a ragged robe walked up and saw him carrying a huge burlap bag in his hand, and everyone looked at him as if they were not very familiar

Groot pulled out a golden gemstone necklace from the bag,

[Do you all know what this thing is?]

He asked

Someone listened to it suddenly

[I know, yes, Qian Duoduo, the personal necklace of the thief leader]

Everyone was shocked

[Could it be said]

Groot nodded

[That's right, the person who got rid of the leader of the thieves before was me]

The leaders in the audience were a little unconvinced

[Did you say it was you, what if you picked it up or imitated it?]

Groot ignored it, then pulled out his scepter

[Elves listen to me]

I saw that the breeders in the bag were flying one after another, landing in all directions of Ore Town,

Suddenly, the earth shook, and in the empty space on the ground, huge trees rose from the ground, and thick grassy patches appeared on the ground

People look at the miracle in front of them,

The whole ore, in just a few minutes, becomes lush,

[What's going on!?]

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes

Groot smiled

[This is my first gift to everyone]

He continued

[Do you sometimes feel severe pain in your stomach and fatigue]

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other

[You may not believe it, but the water we drink has been poisoned]

This is, Da Zhuang walked over with a group of people in black

They all carried a bag containing poison that had been thrown into the well

[The mastermind behind the scenes, I don't know yet, but I will give you an answer, no one will hurt Ore Town from now on]

He paused, then continued

When they heard this, they all cheered for him and applauded.

The host took the microphone and looked at the audience

[Is there anyone else coming up to continue the speech?]

The others retreated and retreated in fright

[So now, let's sum up the votes and ask these 8 candidates to stand with their heads and backs to the crowd]

The crowd began to stand behind their favorite, and the minutes passed

Finally, the host said

[Now, I will announce the number of votes, this young man has become the new mayor of our ore town by a surprising margin]

All eight of them clenched their fists nervously, only to hear

[He is]

[He is--]

[Gifted, raunchy youth - Groot!]
