Chapter 82: Twists and turns

"I don't know if you've ever heard of the term [cold lips and teeth]......"

Standing on the podium, the Forest Elf Elder said something with a calm expression, as if he wanted to give the surrounding Elemental Elf Councilors time to think, and paused for a moment before continuing: "This word means that when a person has no lips, his teeth will feel very cold! And the forest elves and the elemental elves are the relationship between lips and teeth! Think about it, if the forest elves disappear, will the elemental elves be able to resist the invasion of the abyss alone? I don't think every sane elemental elf would think so, so we're natural allies! Just like the last time the Abyss Invasion War, the elemental elves were attacked first, and the forest elves came to their aid without hesitation......"

"Since you also know that neither of us can resist the invasion of the Abyss alone, why do you insist on splitting?" A middle-aged councillor interrupted the Elder's speech and asked, it seemed that he was inclined to support the Matilda family's Elven Empire plan!

"As the [gentleman] just said, we forest elves are [wild] and free. Compared to us, you elemental elves are [elegant] and rigorous, so strict that even the residence has to be hierarchical, so we don't fit in at all! I guess even if it is barely merged, nothing good will come out! But like now, we usually don't interact with each other, but we are allies, which makes us all more comfortable! ”

The Forest Elf Elder explained lightly. In his explanation, the words "gentleman", "rude" and "elegant" deliberately accentuated the tone, full of irony, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy!

"You ......" The councillor who was called "gentleman" had a white face flushed, and stood up violently, wanting to refute but having nothing to say for a while! Seeing his embarrassed look, the deputies secretly snickered, and even the melon-eating crowd behind them let out bursts of low laughter, which shows how much failure he has in his daily life!

At this time, Otren, who was sitting in front of the podium, stood up and said: "The situation is very urgent, and we don't have much time to waste!" According to the parliamentary system, vote now! I agree to send troops to the aid of the forest elves immediately! ”

As the Elemental Elves made their own choices, the recorders in the council hall were busy! Soon all the parliamentarians had already cast their votes, and the final results were in!

Otren took the voting results handed over by the recorder, glanced at them, and said loudly: "A total of 217 parliamentarians participated in the voting of this bill, more than two-thirds of the total number of parliamentarians, and the voting results are real and valid!" A total of 63 MPs voted against, 14 abstained, and 140 MPs agreed to support the Forest Elves, with more than half of the MPs agreeing to the bill! Now I announce that the bill to support the forest elves has been passed......"

"Wait!" Suddenly, a voice came from the door of the council hall, interrupting Otrunl's speech!

The crowd in the hall looked at the door in amazement. I found more than a dozen elemental spirits in extraordinarily luxurious costumes and decorated with ancient patterns, walking down the passage towards the podium!

The group was led by the current four elves, and the rest seemed to be their retinue. And the youngest of these four elves is also in his fifties, and the leader is already full of gray hair!

"The patriarch of the Matilda family is here, and now there is a lot of excitement to see......"

"yes, big move! The whole Senate is here......"

Lin Xian heard the whispers of the elemental elves around him, and then he knew that it was the elemental elf senator's house that was pouring out, no wonder this group of people was so magnificent!

Otren's brows were tightened, and he seemed to be a little caught off guard, but he still spoke: "The parliament's bill has been voted on this time, I don't know what the patriarchs have to say when they come to the parliament now?" ”

"According to the voting rules established by the great Falfino, if the Senate has doubts about the proposal of the Parliament, it has the right to reject the proposal of the Parliament and vote again after three days!" Matilda Patriarch stared at Otron's eyes and said quietly and lightly.

Although the patriarch Matilda is over the age of old, his waist is straight, and the slender and clear faces of the elves have a pair of eagle eyes, and his expressionless face is staring at Otrun, looking extremely tough!

"Patriarch Ampus, as far as I know, if the Senate wants to overturn the proposal of the Parliament, it needs the unanimous consent of the five senators! Now that only four of you have agreed, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules, right? Otren also stared at his opponent's eyes and retorted without showing weakness!

"Your father, Speaker Tesgoot, has been unable to perform the duties of the senator for a long time due to physical reasons, so I think that now the four senators can already represent the opinion of the senate!"

"Then now I am acting as a senator on behalf of my father, and I do not agree with the proposal of the Senate to overthrow Parliament!"

"I'm afraid it won't work! Your father wrote a formal authorization to allow you to exercise the powers of Speaker on his behalf! But as the elder dean, I didn't receive a formal authorization document! ”

"You ......" Otroner was speechless for a while, and suddenly felt a little powerless! The Patriarch of Amps made it clear that he wanted to force the Forest Elves to merge with the Elemental Elves through the critical situation, and if the Forest Elves did not agree, they would have to drag the support bill to prevent it from passing! But I can't think of any way now!

"Lord Altron [Acting Speaker], you should announce the results now! In three days, we can vote again, and maybe it will be passed by then......" said Patriarch Ampus, and the aggravated "Acting Speaker" was also full of irony!

Otren felt torn that if he was to postpone the proposal to support the forest elves indefinitely, the forest elves would not end well whether they finally gave in or persisted!

If the forest elves insist on independence, then the fate of defeat and destruction in this abyss invasion war will be inevitable! Then even if the elemental elves can repel the exhausted Abyss Coalition in this war, they will be in danger of extinction in the next war!

If the forest elves succumb, the reputation of House Matilda will skyrocket! It is even possible to surpass the Arafatus family and become the number one wealthy family among the elemental elves! And the Elven Empire plan will also be rapidly promoted! Thinking of this, Otren looked at the fifty-year-old patriarch with hatred, that is, his family had been wavering, but he didn't expect to take refuge in the Matilda family at the last moment!

Just when Otren was at a loss, two more figures walked in from outside the door of the council hall, and one of them spoke: "I do not agree with the Senate's proposal to reject the parliamentary proposal!" ”

The melon-eating masses in the back row are a little excited, and this time the council hall is really not in vain! The twists and turns of a proposal vote are like a drama of ups and downs, which makes people want to stop watching!

Patriarch Ampus seemed a little shocked when he heard this, and suddenly turned to look at the gate in disbelief, and the confident image he had maintained since he entered the council hall was completely gone!

Although these two people had their backs to the gate and were a little backlit, Patriarch Ampus recognized them at a glance that these two people were Speaker Tesgot and Steward Renard!

Looking at the somewhat distorted face of the Patriarch Ampus, the helpless look on Otren's face just now didn't know where to fly! Put on a reserved smile again, and calmly enjoy the scene in front of you!

It turns out that he has been acting all along! Okay, Sao Nian, I haven't seen a big increase in acting skills for a few days! It seems that there has been a lot of hard work in the past few days......
