Volume 5 The Secret Under the Sea of the Seven Emperors Chapter 349 You Lend Me the Seed, and I Will Tell You the Ancients
Count Odin almost slapped his son: "Stupid! These days, who cares if you are a branch or not? You don't have to prove that you have the power!You know? Your eldest brother is not here, and the strongest worship in our family right now is a mid-stage monk. But Donald's old boy has a monk under him, not to mention the late stage of his distraction, but also a mysterious and unpredictable military advisor, if he rashly attacks, our family can't guarantee that he won't be hated. "Oran Augustine is the eldest son of Count Odin, and the only bright bloodline in the entire Augustine family. As long as he is there, there will be a connection between Augustine and the C. Ronaldo family. It's just that over the years, Oran has been practicing outside in order to improve himself. Therefore, Count Odin didn't know how to break this simple and rough situation for a while, after all, Oran's bright bloodline was not shown back then.
Count Odin is a shrunken turtle. Donald had the feeling of a punch hitting the air. He was ready to fight Earl Odin head-to-head to decide the ownership of the Warhorse Prairie, but now?
"Priestess Wad, do you think we're going to push Odin again?" Donald's pacing back and forth already showed that he was unwilling.
It's just that Wade said in a contemptuous way: "My lord, just let the rumors continue to ferment, we just need to borrow a knife to kill!"
"Kill with a knife?" seemed to be excited at the first mention of this, and Lord Donald couldn't help but stare at Walder with a pleading gaze. This made Wade feel a little sick and tired. If it weren't for the missionary cause, who would have come to serve a fool like you, no wonder he couldn't even clean up the city of Odin for so many years.
"My lord, do you think that the Augustine family has been able to control the position of the lord of Odin City for so many years, and can occupy the war horse grassland for so many years, on what basis? Could it be their own power? I'm afraid not. Isn't it through a relationship with the Guangming family? It's not so much that everyone gives him face, but rather to give face to the Guangming family. If his big backer is gone at this time, do you think there will be other people who are ready to move, such as the Debang family in Odin City?" Seeing Donald's eyes getting brighter and brighter, Wald was a pang of contempt. This old guy was a good businessman back then, but over the years, except for his more and more inflated ambitions, he was simply useless in other aspects.
"Lord Priest, you are really a guiding light sent by the God of Light, you can rest assured, as long as I can take the War Horse Grassland, then I can walk sideways on this Soros Plain. When the time comes, you will be sure to provide all kinds of help for your missionary cause. "It turns out that this is the basis of the cooperation between the two.
In the past two days, Count Odin has had a very bad time, and he will pay attention every day to see if his son has returned, whether there is any feedback on the letters he sent, and whether the foreign aid he has invited has arrived. It's just that there is no news at all, and his anxious mouth is blistering.
"Lord Earl, the Debang family has initiated the City Council today. "The Earl of Odin's palace fell silent after this report.
"How many people responded?" Count Odin felt a lot of pressure, he knew what he was capable of: he was not enough to pioneer, but he was okay to keep it. He is a kind and low-key person, never messes up disputes, and is dedicated to nurturing his children. After all, God still takes good care of him.
The eldest son, Oran, after his mediocre adulthood, activated the bright bloodline between life and death due to an experience, and since then he has embarked on a different path. However, because of his mother's inconspicuous status and the fact that he was slandered and ridiculed with his youngest daughter when he was a child, he was unwilling to join the Holy Court and the Bright Academy, and the path of the Bright Blood Spirit Warrior was very difficult. However, thanks to this, his son is tenacious and never gives up easily, and he is really a good successor to himself.
The second son, Aowei, will not talk about it, as long as he doesn't make trouble for himself, thank God.
Hey, it's a pity, my little daughter. Although there is no talent, but when she is by her side, this Odin City is well managed, which is like today, it is full of loopholes when someone hits...
Just when Count Odin fell into reminiscence, the voice of the report sounded: "My lord, that... ”
"Say, how many!" the majestic and angry voice echoed, and Count Odin was really depressed.
"All but you agreed!" The city council stipulates that more than two-thirds of the votes can carry out the decision! The city council is usually convened by the lord and deputy lord of the city, and is aimed at major events such as the removal of the lord of the city, the decision to go on the expedition, the increase in the tax rate, etc.
This time, the Debang family convened a city council, and all the council members agreed, which can be imagined. Without the position of city lord, can he, the earl, still be able to defend the war horse grassland? You must know that half of the war horse grassland belongs to the city of Odin, and the other half is the earldom. Because he is the Earl of Odin and the lord of the city, the majority of this war horse grassland belongs to the Augustine family.
Sitting down dejectedly, Count Odin was angry, shocked and powerless!
At the scene of the city council, all the councillors demanded that Count Odin step down and give up the position of city lord. This made Count Odin, who was sitting in the main seat, furious. How many of these people are raised by themselves? eat their own, use their own, and sacrifice the interests of their families to help them expand their trade routes, but now? Looking at the proud Debang family next to him, Count Odin really wants to shoot them with a brick. At this time, he was a little envious of the political system of the East, the emperor had absolute authority, and the city lord also had a certain power of life and death, which was like this!
Just when Count Odin was in a stormy and difficult to stand alone, the door of the council hall was suddenly opened, and the bright light from outside came in, which made the people in the room lose their minds for a while.
"Donald, why are you, what are you doing!" Not only Count Odin, but even the patriarch of the Debang family, the current deputy city lord, Gaise Debang, was surprised, didn't he come to pick peaches?
"Haha, Lord Odin, Lord Gaise, don't come unharmed. I heard that you were convening a city council, and I came quickly, and you are really, I am also a member of the council, how can you not inform me?" Donald's complaint was over, and everyone reacted, this iron dealer seemed to have donated a large sum of money to buy a councillor back then!
"Donald, what the hell is the matter with you? We're in a big council!" Geisse keenly sensed that something was wrong, this Donald's strength was very strong, if he intervened, his position as the lord of the city might be uncertain.
"Hehe, you are discussing the ownership of the city lord of Odin, right? I said how can you do this? Count Odin is the earl given by His Majesty, since he is called Earl Odin, he is the rightful city lord of Odin, how can you force the palace?" As soon as these words were finished, everyone reacted.
Yes, although the power of His Majesty the Imperial will be constrained by the parliament, it is not as centralized as the power of the Emperor in the East. But the title given by himself, and it is an earl's title, this weight is not comparable to his own barons, even the deputy lord of Gaise, isn't he just a viscount? His Majesty also saw their relationship with the Guangming family to give them the hereditary earl position, and now that this foundation is gone, presumably Your Majesty will also be happy to take back a count, and the corresponding war horse grassland can also be confiscated!
The greedy councillors who reacted are now looking at Donald vigilantly, this guy has also coveted the war horse grassland for a long time, and this time I am afraid that it will not be good. Sure enough, after blocking the mouths of the people, Donald proposed in a blink of an eye: Despite this, Count Odin has indeed made no achievements during his years as the city lord, and the output of the war horse grassland has not increased year by year. This shows that the way the City Lord's Mansion governs the War Horse Grassland is not right, otherwise, the councilors will claim a part of the grassland and go back. Defined by next year, if the output of which one is not good, then let it go and let more capable people run it...
As soon as he said this, it immediately caused an uproar. The profits of the War Horse Prairie are huge, and this alone accounts for ninety percent of the annual tax revenue of Odin City. It has always been the private property of the city lord's mansion and the Augustine family, and today someone actually proposes to divide the interests equally?
Anyone who is a little smarter knows what to do. As a result, no one cared about the ownership of the city lord, and everyone enthusiastically supported the division plan. Gesai is going crazy, this Nima is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot! This Donald, he is looking for death! Yes, if it weren't for the master holding a sword next to him to protect him, Gesai would just want to pick up the guy and kill this old man at the moment!
Seeing that everyone was enthusiastic, and he didn't care about the agreement with himself, Gaise snorted coldly and stopped talking. On the contrary, a mysterious smile appeared on the face of Count Odin, these doglegs, are they really so easy to make profits from the war horse grassland?
Sure enough, after getting the approval of the vast majority, Donald threw out his own suggestion: the War Horse Prairie is too large, and it is impossible to protect it if there is not enough force, so the size of the divided territory must not only be in line with everyone's subscription plan, but also match the force value of each family...
Speaking of which, this Donald is indeed a business expert, although this person is narrow-minded in other places, but I have to say that when it comes to business things, he is talented enough.
"Well, I agree!" what does the Earl say?" Hearing that the hero was still to be judged by force in the end, Gaisse finally balanced his mind a little. His own strength was actually stronger than that of the Augustine family, and if it weren't for his relationship with the Bright Family, this city lord would have given way a long time ago.
"Okay, I agree!" "Now, it is the best result to be able to fight for another one by force." Count Odin knew that he could not stop it, and once he stopped it, I was afraid that these people would immediately destroy him. Wait until Orlan returns or the messenger of the House of Light arrives, and then I will give you a big ear scraper.
"Okay, in that case, choose a day or not a day, this afternoon at the Odin school field, we have two people in our family, and we will decide the winner by points!" However, this is not harmful to themselves, everyone knows that the Augustinian family now has only one god worshipper, and the advantage of this battle is already obvious.
At noon that day, the news of the martial arts exercise flew all over the sky. The citizens didn't know what it meant, but they did know that there was a big bustle to watch. Even those who are well-informed already know that this is dividing half of the war horse grassland.
If the strength shown by Count Odin in this battle is too poor, I am afraid that the other half of the grassland will be changed hands in an instant. At the end of the day, this is an era where strength is paramount.
"Yu Huan, aren't you going to help your grandfather?" Crane asked, standing on the edge of the schoolyard. As soon as they arrived in Odin City today, they heard the news. Even the streets and alleys are rumoring how embarrassing Count Odin is, and of course many people sigh: what a good person the old city lord is, why does someone always want to fight against the earl?
Shaking his head slightly, Ye Yuhuan did not speak.
