Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Lazy Man
The crows wailed in the branches, and the dark pupils stood on the branches and watched the mortals coming and going under the trees, like the god of death peeking into the mortal world, waiting for these people who would eventually die to usher in their end sooner, and to have a full meal. www.biquge.info Looking at the crows on the branches, Ling Chen was actually quite envious of their lives, he didn't have to do anything, just wait quietly, he could taste the deliciousness of carrion, and shook his head, maybe the crows would also compete for carrion.
There are four gates in Snowal, which connect the avenues of the other four city-states, this time Ling Chen came back from the West Gate, in front of the West Gate is a cemetery, and it is also a cemetery for civilians, in the glamorous and beautiful Snow City, this is the most eerie place, right? Ling Chen took out a piece of cured meat from the carriage behind him, in a sense, this should be much more delicious than carrion, and put it in his hand. Crows have always been afraid of people, but I don't know why, these crows don't seem to be afraid of Ling Chen, and when they saw the food in Ling Chen's hands, they rushed towards Ling Chen, and shot the cured meat away, but it made Ling Chen's dust.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Liao Qi ran over, and in his eyes, Ling Chen, who was just now, could be regarded as being attacked by a crow.
"Hehehe......" Ling Chen laughed heartily: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic." β
"Your Highness, don't make too much trouble, otherwise something will happen, and I won't be able to explain it to Your Majesty. β
"Don't worry, with you, nothing will happen to me. After speaking, he patted the dust on his body: "Let's go, these days, it's autumn, and the final reselection is almost time to start!"
returned to his mansion, where Lin Hou had been waiting early. He was accompanied by the newcomer city lord, Zhong Quan, who came from Gothhe City. When Gothy City and Ling Chen cooperated to manage Gothy City, Zhong Quan admired Ling Chen very much, and supported Ling Chen's election as the prince very much, and he always wanted to do his part for Ling Chen after coming to Snowal, but unfortunately, when Ling Chen needed manpower the most, he was not there, and now he is here, but everything has basically been completed. But one more person is one more power, no matter how you say it.
Snowal, Goth, Marilla, Kaur and Devos. Running again, it was really a little tiring, Ling Chen moved his arms to make himself more comfortable.
"Three days ago, the eldest prince had returned. β
After all, he set off earlier than me, Ling Chen closed his eyes, calculated the time, and came back quite in time: "Tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, voting will start tomorrow in the re-election. Lin Hou said, "How does Your Highness feel this time?"
Although the city lords were excluded, but these city lords were originally pulled in by Ling Chen in order to weaken the strength of the oath, after this back and forth, the effect is obviously still there, and his own election policy is quite popular with the businessmen, all in all, Ling Chen smiled, it is obvious that he is still not the opponent of the oath, if it was zero ten at the beginning, then now it is only three or seven open. And the hard work of so many years is not something that can be surpassed by himself so casually. But that's enough. Looking at the two retainers who were worried about him, Ling Chen said, "Don't worry, I already have the chance to win." β
Ling Chen didn't give Lin Hou or Zhong Quan any special tasks, after all, at this time, there was very little they could do, after leaving on their behalf, Ling Chen unfolded the map, and this time the re-election mode was decided after he and Oath discussed it together. Each of the five city-states had a vote, starting with Kaul and ending with Snowal. In this way, due to the different population of each city-state, the number of votes that each city-state can obtain is different, through the previous communication with Zhong Quan, he knew that under Zhong Quan's deliberate guidance, at least the number of people who support him in Gothh is quite large, which is also the only one among the five city-states whose support can outweigh the oath. And because of the relationship between the Bounty Hunters Association, the strength of the orcs can be regarded as recognized by many people, and the number of votes he can get in Snowal should not be too different from that of Oathfall, so the problem is the other three cities. Because he hasn't performed much all year round, the popularity of these three cities is really pitiful. Ling Chen handed a ballot to Lu Feier: "I've studied it for you before, how about it?"
"These ballots have been carefully designed by your court mage, and when a voter touches a ballot with his own hand, he will record his fingerprints through magic, and each voter will only have one chance to vote. At the final check, if there are no fingerprints on the ballot, or if the same fingerprint appears, it will not be counted. If you want me to help you make a fake ticket, even if you do, it doesn't count. β
The corners of Ling Chen's mouth twitched: "So, every ballot has magic attached to it?"
"That's right, it's not complicated. β
"Then I'm relieved, I let so many magicians come from the Vic Sanctuary on purpose, although on the one hand, it is indeed to support Ye Xiao's association, but on the other hand, it is not as simple as letting you do a simple vote. β
"And what do you want to do?"
Ling Chen's eyes rolled and whispered softly in Lu Fei's ear. Lu Fei's brows furrowed slightly: "Isn't this ......?"
"You know, conservatively, I'm not a match for the sworn oath right now. But I am sure to win this throne!!Although it is not decisive, if I can win this election, then my Majesty will definitely look at me differently! And most importantly, whether Your Majesty accepts it or not, I will be the king chosen by the Resnoths!"
Lufel sighed, "Okay, I'll do it for you as you ask." β
With the magic of the world of magic, it undoubtedly brings more convenience to people, and under the magic of the court mage, even if they are in Snowal, Ling Chen and Oath can still know the election progress of each city for the first time through magic.
As everyone expected, although this election has already caused a sensation throughout the country, the real participation is actually not high, after all, for the majority of the people, who is the king and who they care about is not very much, and whether it is Ling Chen or Oath, how many people can judge what kind of people they are by virtue of a few speeches that have been prepared for many days? In the final analysis, it is just by the personal preference of the first instinct, and the turbulence of the wind direction. As a result, not everyone is interested in wasting a little bit of their time to cast a vote that is not significant. The first city, Kaur, this city is still a few people who support Ling Chen, after all, Ling Chen has been staying in Kaur in winter to build a canal for them, and now in the early autumn, the effect of the canal has been revealed, enjoying the benefits brought by the canal, naturally there are still a lot of people who have given Ling Chen a good evaluation, and some people believe that Ling Chen can become a king who brings them more convenience. In the end, Ling Chen was lucky to get a full 4,316 votes in Kaur.
However, more people think that every year when the cold winter comes, the prince of the oath will always come to the city of Kaur with a large number of materials, and resist the cold winter with them, if there is no prince of the oath, I am afraid that there will be many people in this city-state who can't survive the cold winter, right? People have always been a kind of grateful creatures, and in the case of not involving their own interests, the general secretary is willing to squander his kindness without reservation, this time the king seems to tell the people of the entire city of Kaur, the time has come for you to repay your kindness! What are you waiting for? Don't be stingy with your votes! As expected, Oath received 6,474 votes in Kaur.
The next city is the westerly Marilla, for this city, Ling Chen did not have any hope from the beginning, ask himself, Ling Chen has not done anything for them, and Ling Chen will not be naΓ―ve to think that the people here will leave a good impression on themselves because of his few speeches, even if there is, Oath can also have speeches, in comparison, naturally this more well-known prince is more popular! Just as Ling Chen expected, in this city-state with a population of 200,000, there were only 1,963 votes, and compared to it, the number of votes for Oath instantly widened the gap with him. Marira had a population of 100,000 fewer than Kaur, but Oath still received 4,697 votes.
Ling Chen smiled helplessly, he didn't expect that he was almost 5,000 votes behind the two cities. Sure enough, the oath is still the oath, his grinding spear is indeed too weak, but to be honest, Ling Chen really can't do anything now, and he thinks that he has done everything he can do. There is still some information about the next city, because it has finally arrived in Goth.
Ask yourself, when he was in Gothhe City, due to the sudden death of their city lord, and he was almost like a life-saving grass, and then the city lord Zhongquan seemed to have carried out a lot of propaganda about himself, at least when he returned to Gothech, Ling Chen could clearly feel that these residents of Gothkh did not seem to regard themselves as princes at all when they received them, but directly regarded themselves as kings. I can't help but have a lot of expectations for this city, and sure enough, Gothic also responded to Ling Chen's expectations, in Snowal, Ling Chen won 7,532 votes at once, and the relative Oath did not win so beautiful this time the two cities were not strong, it was obvious that Ling Chen won this game, and the votes of Oath in Gothhe were only 3,424 votes.
Although this was indeed good news for Ling Chen, along with this good news, Ling Chen knew that this was also the only city in which he had an advantage, but this city only helped Ling Chen recover more than 4,000 votes. It seems that the road ahead is really gloomy!
