The next day, the sky was clear and cloudless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The dozen or so remaining invited tribes arrived one after another by noon to join their chosen forces.

After breakfast, the Flint delegation followed Lienon to the central square surrounded by villas, the venue for the selection of chiefs. Here they saw the other tribes of the same camp, as well as the other three chieftain contenders, the red sulfur priest Tuga, and the leader of the demon hunting brigade, Ango, with a slight bruise on his face.

More than 200 seats, the column is full, at a glance, most of them are like wolves and tigers of the prairie men, they wear scimitars one by one, unscrupulously turn heads to ears, from time to time someone will be full of wolf-like wild and unruly eyes swept to others.

This is more like a prelude to a big melee than a conference.

"Of the twenty tribes, sixteen were involved in the selection of the Red Sulphur chieftain, and six of the tribes that supported the Lie Nong, including the flint. ”

Rodin was watching the crowd intently, when Isabella walked up to him and gently grasped his arm with her snowy wrist.

Today, her upper body is a thin silk robe, which sets off her bumpy figure to the fullest, and the lower body is a long skirt with lilac lace that hangs down to her ankles, with a bit of special playfulness.

The golden sunlight sprinkled on her snow-white skin, delicate as jade, refracting dazzling light, like a statue of a god of beauty, like a ripe rose blooming wantonly, suffocating.

Her gaze was undisguised, tenderly locked on him.

Rodin struggled slightly, but the Qianqian hand undoubtedly held him firmly, so he gave up.

She smiled like a hundred flowers blooming, and he was dazzled when he saw it, only to hear the explanation in his ears with a hint of a greasy nasal voice. "At the moment, it seems that we have the best chance of supporting this company, but this time the chieftain selection is not only based on the tribal support rate. “

As soon as she finished speaking, a majestic old man with silver hair and silver beard walked through the crowd to the much-anticipated podium, and at the same time, a high-sounding voice full of air suddenly sounded.

"Welcome all tribal brothers from afar to participate in this red sulfur tribal chieftain selection conference. “

His voice seemed to have a calming magic, and the originally noisy crowd was instantly silenced when they heard it.

"The contemptible man is the red sulphur swordsmith Issinger, who is also the chief notary of the election. “

"This is the first selection after the fifty-year reign of Chief Riswick, and it is an extraordinary one. ”

"Because this time, it is no longer simply a matter of selecting a successor from among the sons of the previous chieftain, but the able, and the influential and qualified are all involved. ”

Rodin glanced at it, but found that the Lienon brothers looked like they should be, and did not seem to have any dissatisfaction.

Isinger glanced at the people below, and his tone became passionate,

"In recent years, the development and changes of red sulfur are obvious to all, and with our growth, more and more capable and courageous people have emerged. ”

"With the support of a considerable part of the people of Red Sulphur, they stood on the stage of this election. “

"And we have to choose the most suitable, the greatest, the one who can lead the brilliant development of red sulfur. ”

"There are four candidates to appear! They are—"

Every name landed, and there were tsunami-like shouts and screams from the audience.

As time passed, a large crowd unconsciously poured into the central square, standing near the pulpit, looking excited and apprehensive.

What an exciting thing it was to see the leaders of their future on the stage come to fruition!

They kept waving at the candidate in their hearts and venting loudly.

After the Lie brothers appeared, Gu bowed solemnly to the crowd below.

The other two candidates, the priest Tuga and the demon hunter captain Ango, are all middle-aged people in their forties. However, the former looks polite, a little emaciated, with long narrow cheeks, while the latter is covered with large muscles like rocks, in addition to the red sulfur totem tattoo, there is also a bright red flame tattoo on the right face, which adds a bit of bewitching and wild to him, but who can guarantee that they will not be old monsters who are already seventy or eighty years old?

"This red sulfur swordsmith is already one hundred and fifty years old this year, almost half a step of the golden rank. “

A fragrant, warm smell suddenly approached his ear and said.

"Isn't he even more powerful than Lexa, why don't you run for chief?"

Isabella smiled softly, "Most of the people who are engaged in swordsmithing have no desire for power, they are just obsessed with the honing of their skills, and besides, he is also old, and the powerful vitality brought by the power of the silver bloodline is almost exhausted." ”

Rodin's heart was shocked, and he thought thoughtfully, "It seems that he seems to be an old monster who is not so complicated and greedy for power, do you want to find a way to get some sword oil formula from him after the meeting?"

However, seeing Isenger's withered arm raised outward, his eyes condensed, and an incomparably powerful tension spread rapidly from the pulpit, Rodin's spiritual power keenly sensed that there was an invisible fluctuation similar to a force field passing by.

As if inspired, the hustle and bustle of the crowd fell silent.

"Let me explain the rules of this chieftaincy election. ”

"This election is divided into three parts. ”

"In the first part of the internal voting, every adult red sulphur resident has an electoral ballot, and they can vote for the one who supports it, or they abstain. ”

"This part has been completed before the arrival of the guests from afar, and I would like to announce the results again. ”

A total of 2,214 people participated in the internal vote, including 780 votes for Lienong, 400 votes for Lieweiping, 500 votes for Tuga, and 520 votes for Ange. Fourteen abstentions. ”

"Tsk, there is definitely something wrong with this Lie Weiping's character, and he only has half of his brother's votes. ”

Rodin muttered.

"Next, the second part of the election, external voting, each brother tribe has a golden vote. And one golden ticket is equivalent to a hundred ordinary tickets. ”

"You can vote for any candidate or abstain. “

"Now, brothers of the tribes, you have a quarter of an hour to think it through. ”

In front of the ten candidates on the pulpit, a half-human pitch-black wooden box was placed, and a golden parchment depicting the totem of Midgar, the giant python of the Red Sulfur Tribe, was distributed to each of the tribal representatives.

Although the forces have already been divided, they still take turns to make the final statement, maybe there is a competitor who will be moved as soon as his head is hot?

"Isabella, can I take the liberty of asking you, what promises have the Lie brothers made to our Flint Tribe?"

Rodin asked the people around him curiously,

Isabella smiled without the slightest reservation, "At the beginning, Lie Weiping promised to provide us with materials worth a thousand kunen, as well as mercenaries who hired ten powerful people and one wizard for us to support when the celestial sphere came. ”

He raised an eyebrow, "A thousand kun, isn't that a hundred thousand Marelli? And we only have about fifty famous people in total, right?"

"What is this? Lienong's condition is even more amazing, directly doubling on this basis, both in terms of means and courage, he is more powerful than his younger brother!"

Rodin couldn't help but smack his tongue slightly. "Have you signed all the agreements?"

Isabella Sakura's lips curled slightly, and she said firmly, "Compared to the so-called contract, our tribesmen believe in the belief in the ancestors more, and Lienong has already sworn in the name of the red sulfur ancestors in front of us, and in terms of credibility, there is absolutely no problem!"

"Whether or not he can win the final election, these conditions have been set and cannot be changed. ”

Soon after, the sixteen tribal representatives who attended the meeting took the stage to vote in turn, and the final results were quickly counted.

There was not the slightest trace on Isenger's face, and he glanced at the four suppressed faces and announced loudly,

"A total of 16 tribes participated in this round of external voting, including six votes for Lienong, three votes for Lieweiping, four votes for Tuga, and three votes for Ange. ”

When the words landed, several families were happy and a few were sad, Lie Nong was calm and calm, and he seemed to be in his chest, and his younger brother clenched his fists tightly with some unwillingness.

However, the two middle-aged men remained silent, and did not seem to have expected this result.

"After two rounds of voting, Lienong had a total of 1,380 votes, Lieweiping had 700 votes, Tuga had 900 votes, and Ange had 820 votes. Young Master Lienong took a temporary lead. “

"The third part of the chieftaincy election - the competency assessment is now announced. “

"From the time when our red sulfur tribe was fledgling, there were three troubles that wrapped around us like tarsal bones, inhibiting the development of the tribe and causing us great losses. “

"These three troubles are like a heavy mountain in our hearts, so that the people of Red Sulfur are almost out of breath, I believe that everyone hopes that someone can stand up and solve this disaster for us, if this person is the chief, it will be more smooth!"

"More than a month ago, when the previous chief, Reshik, was still alive, he kept mentioning these three problems in front of me, so this time we included them in the ability assessment. “

Therefore, the specific requirements for the ability assessment are as follows. ”

"The aptitude assessment period starts tomorrow and lasts for five days. During the evaluation period, each problem is equivalent to 500 votes. Whichever candidate solves the puzzle with his or her forces will receive the corresponding votes. “

"Here I will first explain to you the three major troubles of our red sulfur. ”

"The First Problem, the Mystery of the Moriath Mine"

"In the depths of the Star Iron Vein, where we depend for our livelihood, an unknown force has been entrenched in the Red Sulphur Territory, hindering the progress of our mining and encroaching on the fruits of our labor. ”

"As we all know, the star iron is buried in the incomparably hard Yunkui stone, and the red sulphur brothers who excavated it in the Moriah pit had to work hard to cut through this shell. Maybe they have to dig for days and nights to find a dense ore spot before they start mining. ”

"But every time they break through the rock and find such a deposit, they don't even have time to rejoice. ”

"Then the unknown force will mysteriously appear, and at the moment when the good sons of red sulfur are tired, they will plunder the fruits of their labor, and they will come and go without a trace, and they will disappear without leaving any trace. ”

"Sometimes, if you are not careful, the ore that is within your reach will disappear. ”

"Over the past fifty years, we have lost at least half of the Star Iron we have excavated in the Moriath Mine, and without these losses, it is hard to imagine how strong our red sulfur would be now?"

"It's a pity that the Moria's mine road is so complex that the terrain is immeasurably complex, and the brothers and sisters who entered it before have found nothing. “

"This time, I pin my hopes on the four candidates, hoping that you can overcome this difficulty with the help of your respective forces. “

"On behalf of all the people of the Red Sulphur Tribe, I promise that the candidate who solves the problem of the Moriath pit will not only receive five hundred votes, but also a huge prize of one million Marelli. “

Wealth touches people's hearts.

Hearing this, the delegations of the sixteen tribes were a little swaying, and people like Klin, who loved money, were even more excited and red-faced, and it was difficult to control themselves.

A million Marelli is not a small amount of money even for the wealthy red sulfur tribes, not to mention that many tribes do not have so much total income in a year.

It has to be mentioned here that Rodin's salary of 1,000 per month is really very generous.

When everyone had finished digesting it, he continued,

"The second problem is the mystery of the incompleteness of the red sulfur inheritance totem. “

"Fifty-four years ago, not long after the day we discovered the Moriath Pit, the totem that had been standing for more than a thousand years, which had carried the beliefs of all the people of the Red Sulphur Tribe, was damaged for no reason, and a third of it was missing. “

"Extremely poor red sulfur up and down manpower and material resources, but there has been no clue. This is a shame that is difficult to wash away from red sulfur, and it is also a pain buried in the hearts of every red sulfur person. “

"Therefore, in this assessment, as long as someone can find the missing part of the totem. ”

Issinger paused, "No, it's too much of a luxury to find it, as long as anyone can find the relevant clues, then the five hundred votes will belong to him." If more than one candidate has something to gain, then it is up to all of us Flint people to judge - whoever has the more complete clue and is closer to the truth wins. “

"Candidates, only when it is found can the coronation of the chief be called flawless. If it is the other tribal brothers who find the clue, then you will be grateful to all of us in the red sulfur, and you will always be the guest of our red sulfur. “

"The third problem is also a thing that has been haunting the red sulfur for a long time. ”

Isenghe's gaze swept over the sixteen tribal delegations below, and said emotionally, "Over the years, although the development of red sulfur has been getting better and better, and the people's lives have become more and more prosperous, there is one thing that has been hanging in our hearts since one hundred and seven years ago, like a thorn in our back, and has always made us unable to live in peace. ”

"That is, the indissoluble grudge between the red sulfur and the other eighteen tribes of the noble steppe. ”

"One hundred and seven years ago, in order to protect itself, Red Sulfur had no choice but to lure the invading monsters into many brother tribes with the method of seducting gods, and what is even more tragic is that we did not give you any notice in advance, causing immeasurable losses to all the tribes, which is a fault that we Red Sulfur can never deny. ”

Speaking of this, a deep sadness appeared on Issinger's old face, which was full of wrinkles carved by knives and axes.

"Although the red sulfur had done its best to make amends at that time, it was only a drop in the ocean compared to the damage suffered by the tribes. “

"It would be self-deceptive to ask for your forgiveness in that case. “

"And this time, we have invited the tribes to the red sulphur, for a more important purpose than the election of chiefs. ”

Issinger's voice stopped abruptly, his cloudy eyes closed, and the crowd below looked at him without blinking.

The expressions of the representatives of the sixteen tribes were wonderful, including disdain, solemnity, anger, and compassion......

The crisp sound of "bang ......" sounded, and it was a violent collision of flesh and cold ground.

It's like a sledgehammer hitting everyone's hearts.

"On behalf of the Red Sulphur Tribe, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to my brothers and sisters for the despicable acts committed by the Thivy tribe more than a hundred years ago. ”

The old man fell to his knees on the ground, his forehead buckled fiercely, and he kowtowed his head in the direction of the sixteen tribes. I saw that his silver-white hair was flying and dancing together, and the yellow forehead touched the white ground, and a red blood stain immediately appeared.

Rodin was dumbfounded, not even noticing that the cardamom in Isabella's hand was tightly embedded in the muscles of his arm.

The sixteen tribes were silent, and the onlookers of the red sulfur people's eyes were red, and they couldn't help but burst into tears, and more people clasped their hands on their chests, making a pious and repentant appearance.

An inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart, and he was moved.

This scene reminded him of the shocking kneeling of the former Prime Minister of Germany.

Eighteen rings in a row, knocking on everyone's hearts, and after the old man finished, he stood up tremblingly.

"I know that the brothers will not forgive the red sulphur so easily. ”

"Then the matter of asking for forgiveness is left to you four candidates. “

"This is the third test, and five hundred votes will belong to the one who has solicited the most forgiveness from the tribe. In the event of a tie, it will be split by 500 votes. ”

"So, Lienong, Lieweiping, Tuga, and Ange, for the sake of your ideals and for the future of the red sulfur, do your best to make up for the relationship between the red sulfur and the tribes!"

"After the ability assessment is explained, the next step is the stage that belongs to you. ”

"Today, let's first wash the dust for the ministry, and then officially start the trial tomorrow!"

The rally quickly dissolved, and Rodin saw the delegation of the Eagle Tribe, which was also in the camp of the Lienon, and Toya, a plump woman, was in sight.

She eagerly pulled Rodin aside and inquired in great detail about Kikige, and as she listened, tears flowed into her eyes.

It is worth mentioning that there are no other qualified children in the Falcon tribe, and their old priests are not able to support them for many days.

Therefore, Kikige had to hide from the flint for a long time.
