Seeing Saguna, Saja was still a little embarrassed, after all, some time ago, she and Huorun designed to frame their allies, and Saguna almost died in front of the granary in the dock area, and it was still Yechen who took action to pick up a life. Saguna also didn't give the two newcomers a good look, because the situation forced her, she couldn't retaliate immediately, but it didn't mean that there was no resentment in her heart.

In comparison, Huo Run's face is much thicker, not only greeted Saguna warmly, but also chatted with Yechen very familiarly, looked at the dumpling filling and dough on the coffee table, and said: "Your hospitality is not very good, the guests are here, and the dumplings have not been wrapped yet." ”

Yechen didn't stop in his hand, continued to wrap the dumplings, and said with the same smile: "That's because the people haven't come yet." ”

"Who else did you invite?" Huo Run asked.

Yechen smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know in a while, I'm guaranteed to surprise you." ”

Yechen was right, when Huo Run saw the last group of guests who arrived, there was indeed a surprise on his face that was difficult to hide, and it was hard to say whether he liked it or not. If Shen Qian's arrival is normal, after all, they have dealt with each other in the previous operation, and the plan to destroy the granary in the dock area was drafted by Shen Qian and Ye Chen, but the two people in the back were too unexpected.

Katina stood up and took the initiative to say: "Some people may not be familiar with it, let me introduce it to you, this is Bob, Bob Kane, the president of the Warrior Association." ”

Bob Kane, a sturdy man in his forties, with a sloppy stubble, but resolute eyes, is not very tall, about 1.75 meters, but the strength contained in his body cannot be underestimated. Bob was formerly the chief of the Newlen City Police Department, but after the world changed, he became the president of the Newlen City Provisional Council with the strength in his hands, strong wrists, and excellent mind. However, Katina did not introduce his illustrious status, but emphasized his status as a professional - many people did not know that the Warrior Guild in the Old Town was founded by Bob.

Next, Katina introduced another guest, an old man in a traditional dress that included a red robe for sacrifice, a black shawl for pain, and a triangular hat for wisdom, estimated to be in his sixties, tall and thin, with meticulously combed gray hair, and a very kind old man.

"This is Jonathan Puhn, Bishop of the Holy See of Light in Newlon, and now the president of the Priests' Association."

Yechen said hello, "Hello, Priest Puen. ”

A long time ago, Ye Chen made a judgment that Jonathan, as the bishop of the Holy See of Light, should be in the bag and stand out in this troubled world. Jonathan, who controls faith, Shen Jia, who controls food, and Bob, who controls force, these three people will be the three cornerstones of maintaining the old order.

However, the development of the situation is not so easy to see. With his skill and resourcefulness, Bob became the leader of the old order, and even if the old order collapsed, he still had a strong appeal among the members of the provisional parliament. The Shen family is the most miserable, it has become a battlefield for the old forces and the new forces to compete for power in Newlun City, at the beginning it was still beautiful, and then, a fire greatly damaged the Shen family's vitality, and a raid was completely wiped out. As for the priest of Puen, he had been dormant and had no sense of existence, and only now has he surfaced.

Jonathan bowed slightly and said, "May the God of Light be with you, Miss Chen." ”

Yechen also returned the salute and said, "May the God of Light spread her merciful light on this land full of suffering." Yechen's words are praising Jonathan, but it is a bit of a killing.

This sentence made Jonathan's face stiffen, and he said, "The God of Light is merciful, and as long as the sinner has atoned for his sins, he will be forgiven." ”

The Holy See of Light has a similar doctrine to many religions, believing that human beings came to this world with original sin, and all the suffering they endured in their lives is in atonement, and after the sin is atoned for, the soul can be forgiven by the God of Light, that is, the meaning of ascending to heaven after death.

Jonathan's words were already more cautious, and he probably felt that it was not enough to express his sincerity, so he added: "This time, I hope to rebuild a church in the new city, and everyone here is a saint of the Illuminati, and I hope to get your help." ”

Yechen laughed, this guy knows the times very well! It seems that Jonathan also knows that in this troubled world, the influence of religion on people's hearts is huge and cannot be ignored. There were two paths before him:

Jonathan had the option of expanding his power and starting a campaign to seize power in the name of religion and take complete control of the city. Once this option is successful, the benefits will be great, but the odds of success are just ...... It's too small, as long as the brain is sober and not driven to a dead end, ordinary people will not choose this.

The other way is to cooperate with those in power and obtain the qualification to share power through the exchange of benefits. There is no problem with this idea, but there is one point, which side to put your net worth and life on, which requires a sober and rational judgment.

Jonathan clearly knew that in this troubled era, the Illuminati Sect, which had deep roots in Newlun City, would definitely become the focus of attention of those in power, and it was best to be able to take it under his command, and if he couldn't, he would rather completely destroy it than leave hidden dangers. Speaking of which, Jonathan and the Shen family are a bit similar. Originally, in troubled times, the stability of people's hearts is no worse than the importance of food. It's just that the Shen family bet early, and the bet was lost, and the loss was a mess, and Jonathan also needs to bet now.

Jonathan had been dormant before, probably not optimistic about the Interim Council of Newlen City, but now that he is here, it seems that he has chosen to bet on this alliance of professional associations.

In order to spread the risk, Jonathan voluntarily ceded some of his religious powers, such as canonizing them as saints. The Holy See of Light has a deep foundation in Newlun City, so all the residents of Newlun City are considered to be believers in the Illuminati by default, of course, before the world changes, most of them can only be called pan-believers, but as long as they are believers, as long as they are believers, they are eligible to be classified as saints.

After being canonized as saints, Yechen and they have the right to interpret part of the doctrine of light, that is to say, they have a part of the religious power, so that Jonathan is not so conspicuous, and the husband is not guilty, if there is no Huaibi, the result should be a little better! As long as you don't be like the Shen family.

It can only be said that Jonathan is different from Bob, although he longs for Xuanhe, he is not a careerist, and his preference for wealth is far greater than power.

In a few simple words, Jonathan, who was still a stranger, quickly integrated into this alliance. After chatting a few words, the dumplings were almost wrapped, and Yechen personally got out of the pot, and the rain was on the side to help, as for the master and the red whisk, this party belonged to the president of the Professional Association, they didn't need to provoke this kind of thing, they were arranged by Yechen to rest early, and each person also took a dustpan of dumplings that had just been wrapped.

It didn't take too long to cook the dumplings, and soon, a bowl of dumplings was served by the rain. The Federation of Sinai connects Eastern and Western civilizations, and this custom has been established as early as when the city of Newlon was still a small fishing village, and there is also a saying that the most noble and elderly should eat the first bite of dumplings in the new year.

"Just a bowl?" Huo Run looked at Yechen who was standing next to him, with a smile on his face.

"Yes, the pot is relatively small, and it can only be boiled bowl by bowl, which of you will eat first?" Yechen said.

This sentence is like a golden apple thrown by the goddess of strife, who was sitting on the sofa in front of the fireplace, and the people who were talking and laughing stopped talking, looked at the bowl of dumplings on the coffee table, looked at Huo Run, and looked at Bob again.

Huo Run took the lead and said, "You're welcome, I've been busy all day, I haven't eaten much at noon, and now I'm about to starve to death." ”

Huo Yun said this and didn't reach for it, she needed to be recognized by the others.

The others didn't say anything, but Shen Qian said in a strange tone: "Huo Run, there are two elders here!" ”

Where is this to eat dumplings, this is in the order of seating! What can you get by mixing this kind of thing? Jonathan, who had no ambitions, hurriedly said: "I have already eaten when I came over, and I am not hungry at all, Miss Chen can cook me a few at the end." ”

Jonathan announced that he was withdrawing from the competition, and the so-called seniors were left with only Bob - except for the two of them, the rest were young people in their twenties and thirties.

For a moment, the atmosphere became solemn.

Many people in the market will think that face is useless, and often say: "How much is a pound of face?" This sentence is actually true, for the vast majority of ordinary people, it is completely unnecessary to pay too much attention to face. But for these people here, face is extremely important, whether it is Huo Run or Bob, they can't retreat, if anyone retreats, the camp led by them may disperse, and the slightest impact is also the fluctuation of people's hearts. Especially for Bob, if he hadn't managed to get a good place in the league, the former pro rat councillors might not have supported him anymore.

Yes, Bob didn't come here in secret, he represented here the remnants of the old order that had collapsed, the members of the former Provisional Parliament. If Bob can reach a deal with Huo Yun and Yechen, then those councilors will be transformed and rejoin this new alliance, and they will have another chance to seize power. Those parliamentarians are themselves losers, and it is not difficult to compromise with the victors.

But if Bob fails, and the coalition doesn't admit them, the councillors may join the group to keep warm, or they may disperse to find a way out. Truth be told, if you really fight alone and be beautiful on your own, it's not necessarily a bad thing for those councillors, but it's too bad for Bob. Now he can still count on the support of the various organizations that have been set up by the parliamentarians, and that is what he can do, and with that support, no matter how the situation develops, he will always have a part in the new system of power. But without the support of those parliamentarians, he would be in a terrible position. In order to be the speaker of the provisional parliament, Bob did a lot of angry things, and once he lost power in his hands, he might not be able to save his life if he was retaliated against. So he has to fight, fight for this face.

For Yechen, it may not be a good thing for the loose alliance formed by those councilors to be completely dispersed, and it is good for Bob to bring them together, on the one hand, with the help of their strength, and on the other hand, it is convenient to deal with them if they really don't need it.

Seeing that Huo Run and Bob were deadlocked here, Yechen took the initiative to make a round and said, "Haven't you decided yet?" The second bowl is cooked, and the second bowl is brought over to the rain. ”

Hurt Yu answered, and brought another bowl of dumplings from the kitchen. This bowl of dumplings is not only cooked, but even a little cold, the so-called pot is too small, can only cook one bowl, no one really takes it seriously.

With two bowls of dumplings, Huo Run and Bob had nothing to fight about, and the previous solemn atmosphere quickly eased down, and everyone resumed Yan Yan's laughter and conversation.

The third bowl of dumplings belonged to Jonathan, although he was polite, but after all, he was the Bishop of the Holy See of Light who mastered the faith, and he was indeed the eldest, so he could not be taken too lightly.

The fourth bowl of dumplings was placed in front of Katina, with the foundation of the Twilight Sect, and the Warlock Guild she had just founded was not weak.

The fifth bowl of dumplings was given to Saria. If you divide it according to the batches that came here, Yechen, Katina, and Saguna are there at the beginning, Huo Run and Sariaya are the second batch, and Bob, Jonathan, and Shen Qian are the third batch. Now that Katina is on Yechen's side and Jonathan is on Bob's side, Saria, who came with Huorun, can't go to the back row anymore.

The sixth bowl of dumplings Saguna took it.

At this time, Shen Qian's face was a little unsightly, and she made a lot of efforts in the plan to destroy the Shen family's granary, which played a key role. Such a big credit, when it came to the last seat, was ranked last?

Shen Qian snorted coldly, stood up and was about to leave, since he didn't get the respect he deserved, he simply didn't play with you. As a result, as soon as Shen Qian stood up, several sharp gazes shot over, and under the gaze of others, especially under the gaze of Bob, Huorun, Katina and others, she still didn't dare to slam the door and leave, so she could only smile reluctantly and sit down again with a gloomy face.

Hmph - Sagunar chuckled, a mutineer, and betrayed her family, her blood relatives, this kind of person still thinks that he can be respected by others, it is simply laughing to death! Before the granary in the dock area caught fire, Shen Qian was extremely important, no matter what conditions were proposed, Yechen and Huorun had to agree. Once the granary is on fire and the grain is destroyed, she has no use value. It's ironic to say, Shen Qian hates her family so much, but her value is still reflected through the family behind her, without the Shen family, she is useless.

The last bowl is Yechen's, this is because she is the host of hospitality, and she is the chef in charge, so she is ranked last, if you really want to compare, she should belong to the first echelon like Huo Run and Bob.
