Chapter 48 Voting Results
Count Arias threw the glass on the table, and saw that it was about to shatter, but just as it was about to topple over, it strangely turned slightly in a circle, and after a shake, it came to a steady stop on the table, and not a drop of wine fell out.
The Count looked at Pinto, as if to make him hear, and said in a very slow tone, "You should know that this is no longer a good option. ”
Pinto was less humble at this time, and said with a solemn expression: "I have to look farther for the future of the Arias family. Just like my grandfather did for your grandfather, and my father did for your father. ”
"Are you mocking me for being short-sighted?" was not to be heard in the Count's voice.
"Your gaze is always on the farthest place, and I'm just keeping an eye out for the branches that will trip over you, and then cutting them off. ”
"Hmph, what if we need to build a ladder out of these branches?"
"Maybe you haven't even climbed to the top before it grows into a terrible tree man. ”
"This mouth of yours, I really didn't waste it growing so big. The Count shook his head and laughed, "Why don't you say it's going to be a tree man under my feet? Even if the tree man is disobedient, do you know what berserker's best weapon is? axe! What can an axe be used for other than cutting people?
"They're not the same as us. Pinto didn't laugh along with his usual words, but said more and more seriously: "They are different from every aspect of the world. Their rules, their ways, their methods, everything they do will destroy the world as it is! Even if you have succeeded in seizing the throne, you may not be able to bear the consequences. ”
"Pinto, do you know what is the biggest difference between me and my father?"
Pinto unconsciously looked up and glanced at a portrait on the wall behind the Count, the old Count was ready to ride on his horse, surrounded by countless knights behind him, but his expression was secretly melancholy, the painter was very keen to capture this, or not, anyone who knew a little about him should know his difficult situation, right? Pinto sighed and said no more.
"That is, I will always remember that I am a son of a berserker, how a berserker fought, regardless of the pain, always moving forward. I can tolerate being a gentleman who has no skills for decades and makes everyone look down on me. But I can't stand to hesitate when it's time to strike! The Berserker's attack must be thunderous and unhesitating! I will definitely unite all the forces that can be combined to deliver the most lethal blow to those guys on the throne. Therefore, I can't let go of any help that can be seen and touched. Arias seemed to say something that had been held in his heart for a long time, "We are much worse than them, and every weight on the scales must be added." As for the future...... Later it will be another story. ”
Pinto saw a faint flush on the count's pale face because of the momentary excitement, and knew that there was no hope of convincing him, he lowered his head and humbled again, and asked softly, "Then can the real negotiations begin?"
"You go and tell Li Jia that you must invite Xiao Chen. Although Li Jia has the authorization of the Wizard Castle, what we want to talk about is much more important than what they are going to talk about. I have to talk to a real magician, not an apprentice. ”
"Do you want to invite that female mage Luo Ling over?"
"Women......" the corners of the earl's mouth curled slightly, wondering if he remembered his daughter, "it is better to keep the women away from these things." ”
"By the way, you've been watching it for a few days, do you think that Li Jia is worthy of Selena?" just as Pinto was leaving, the Earl suddenly asked.
"Sir, as I said, they are not like us. Pinto replied.
", you stubborn old thing. The Count laughed.

Luo Ling and Xiao Chen walked on the way back to the office. The voting has just ended, and the 12 chairmen and deputy leaders plus the chairman Guo Qian, a total of 25 people voted. The final result was twenty votes in favor, four against and one abstention. The slaves could have rightly stayed. But at this moment, Xiao Chen felt that he was panicking.
"I didn't expect that yesterday it was a pot of porridge, but today it will be a mess of harmony. If you look at those people, yesterday they were counting us down with their fingers on their fingers, and today they will only smile and applaud. These people ......" Xiao Chen shook his head, "It's really shameless!"
"This shows that they are starting to get into the role of politicians. Luo Ling looked as usual, probably with some relief to solve the problem, "People, they are a kind of political animal, just like a queen bee will always evolve in a hive, and there will always be such and such roles in a group of people." The difference is only in the difference in means and standards, didn't we also play a trick of lobbying outside the hospital yesterday?"
Xiao Chen was stunned and said, "But we are not for our own selfish interests!"
"Who said they must be?" Luo Ling asked rhetorically, "Motivation is originally idealistic. You think that other people are here to fight for power and profit, and they still think that you have to eat alone! So instead of guessing what other people are thinking, it is better to do your own thing. ”
Xiao Chen was speechless, so he could only divert the topic and said, "Speaking of which, I still admire the guy who voted against it today." At least they have their own principles and bottom lines. ”
"Everyone has a bottom line, it depends on whether you touch it or not. The villain who is on our side is also much more useful than the gentleman who stands on the opposite side. ”
"They don't have a position at all, they only stand on the side where they can take advantage. Xiao Chen sighed and said, "I originally thought that we people would travel to a new era, and many things could be started all over again. But I didn't expect that it had only been a few days, and all kinds of troubles and dirty things began to appear again. Is this really a bad root that can't be changed?"
"You expect too much from humanity. Next time, lower your goal and you might find a lot of surprises. ”
Xiao Chen looked up at Luo Ling, still with an indifferent expression, and his mood somehow slowly calmed down, "Maybe." ”
When the two came to the door of the office, they found two young men and women waiting at the door.
"Ye Zi, why are you here? Xiao Chen said in surprise.
"Senior...... , Ji Yijun and I are here to report. Ye Zi looked a little sluggish.
"Well, Ji Yijun, I know, the 'domineering little handsome guy' of the military group. Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ji Yijun.
"What a domineering, bad luck is pretty much the same. Ji Yijun muttered, and the two said hello to Luo Ling again.
"What's going on with the report?" asked Luo Ling.
Ye Zi lowered his head and didn't speak, but Ji Yijun turned his head away and said loudly: "Hey, what's embarrassing, it's that Wang Jiyuan's grandson will be revenged, and he will expel the two of us from the guard camp." No, what is the new thing is to set up a special department to take care of those slaves, and send us over. Oops!"
Ji Yijun took Ye Zi's kick before he came to his senses: "Oh, it's us who assigned us." ”
Xiao Chen was a little surprised: "Didn't Team Leader Wang just now still vote for a meeting, when did he call you over?"
"Last night, he pulled us over and said that the management of the army is too rigid and not suitable for the development of people like us, or that it is more appropriate as a special service force. Let's report here this morning. Ji Yijun replied.
"It's clear that he's undisciplined, so let's go and work as a security guard. Ye Zi ruthlessly pierced Ji Yijun's cover-up.
"Hmph. Ji Yijun pursed his mouth, clasped his hands, and tilted his head to the side.
Luo Ling and Xiao Chen both laughed, the two glanced at each other, and Luo Ling whispered: "Wang Jiyuan, understand people." I understood what was going on early on. ”
"Hey, I'm really worried about daring. It's as if everyone else knew the outcome. ”
"You're more upright. Luo Ling covered her mouth and chuckled.
The two muttered a few words, and Xiao Chen asked Ji Yijun again, "Didn't you all be top people in the guard camp?
"We didn't do anything bad...... Ji Yijun said about letting go of the goblins and chasing and killing the horse thieves before, of course, in his description, his and Ye Zi's actions were full of justice, basically preventing them from doing things, as if they were against human morality. When it was over, he asked Luo Ling and Xiao Chen: "Sister Luo, Brother Xiao, you say, is Wang Jiyuan not authentic in this matter?"
Xiao Chen touched his nose with some embarrassment and said, "It depends on whose perspective I stand on......
Luo Ling said with a smile, "I think Wang Jiyuan is already quite authentic, if I were him, you would still be locked up in a small black room." ”
Ji Yijun is about to argue. But seeing Luo Ling put a finger in front of her mouth, she made a silent movement, and said: "You don't have to argue with me about who is right and wrong, if you think you are a man, you must be worthy of the results of doing things." A person who hides things over and over again afterwards, to put it bluntly, is that he has begun to regret his original behavior. Next, you will follow me to do things, and I have one request: don't do things that you will regret, and don't say what you want to take back. Can you do it?"
"Sister Luo, you should go to the military group, you are much more imposing than Wang Jiyuan's guy when you talk angrily. Ji Yijun scratched his head and said, "That's what you want?"
"Of course not! That's just the first request. If that doesn't work, please go back. ”
"Come on!" Ji Yijun nodded, "I think you are more interesting than Wang Jiyuan." ”
"I can too. Ye Zi followed.
A smile appeared on Luo Ling's lips, as if she had found a treasure when she bought something, "Then you are welcome to join the working group." ”
"Then next, will the two of us go to the slave camp?" Ye Zi asked.
"No, I have other plans. Ji Yijun and I went to manage the camp. Ye Zi followed Xiao Chen, the last time we went to visit Count Arias, our trip was interrupted by a slave riot, and Xiao Chen had to make another trip sooner or later. ”
