Chapter 640: The Battle for Passage Places! (3-in-1)
"Let's talk about the Sea Clan, I believe that everyone knows about the letter submitted by the Sea Clan to get the passage to the Godfall Land, so let's give me your opinions!"
The fact that the Sea Clan wants to enter the Land of the Divine Fall is related to the entire Holy Alliance, so it naturally requires a vote from many Holy City forces, and the fact that so many Holy City City Lords have come in person also shows that they attach great importance to this matter.
Edward's voice fell, and he stopped talking, and the chatter around him suddenly rose.
"Impossible, the Sea Clan used to be incompatible with our Terran Race, and our merchant ships and expedition fleets were often attacked by them, how could they be allowed to enter the Land of the Godsfall."
"That's right, the Land of Godfall is from the Divine Continent, and the Sea Clan is not a race from our Sacred Continent, so they are not eligible to enter."
"We at Langley Holy City are against! The number of passages to enter the Godfall Land is already limited, and if we let the Sea Clan join again, wouldn't our share become even tighter! ”
From this noisy discussion, it is clear that most of the Holy Cities are opposed, in addition to the reason why the Sea Clan and the Terran are not in harmony in the first place, and because of the issue of interests.
The Godfall has existed since ancient times, and the number of passages to enter the Godfall is fixed.
Such a passage is permanently owned by the elves with one bar, the dragons by one, the terrans by the permanents with twenty-five, and the orcs by the orcs by twenty.
Therefore, this passage is originally a monk with more porridge and less porridge, and if one more is conceded, there must be several holy cities that will be affected.
Of course, there are those who oppose it, but there are those who remain silent, and there are even those who agree, such as the Golden Shield family.
"We, the Golden Shield Holy City, support the Sea Clan to enter the Land of Godfall!"
It was at this time that Houghton, the city lord of the Golden Shield Holy City, spoke.
When Houtton's muffled words spread, the entire conference hall was silent, and everyone stopped talking and turned their puzzled eyes to Hulton.
Even Duke Edward was no exception.
"Are you curious about why my Golden Shield family supports the Sea Clan to join the Godfall Lands."
"Actually, there are two reasons, the first is that there are rivers and lakes in the land of Godfall, but the rivers and lakes in the land of Godfall are often occupied by powerful demonic beasts or other creatures."
"And if the Sea Clan enters the Land of the Godsfall, they will definitely establish a stronghold near the Haihe River and Lake."
"In this way, not only will the Sea Clan not compete with us for space in the Godfall Lands, but they will also be able to explore the Haihe Lake areas in the Godfall Lands that we have never explored before!"
Hourdon, the city lord of the Golden Shield Holy City, didn't care at all about the questioning glances cast by everyone, but his momentum was very calm, and he said his reasons.
"As for, second, the second prince of the Sea Clan, Vaodin, has come to our alliance headquarters, let him tell you himself!"
After speaking, Houlton looked at the remaining eleven people on the round table, the true core of the Holy Alliance was actually these twelve holy cities.
The other ten people naturally had no opinion after listening to Houlton's words, and now they just let Waodin come in and complain, and this bit of face will still be given to the Golden Shield family.
Finally, everyone looked at Duke Edward in Sky City.
Duke Edward didn't say anything more and nodded slightly.
Soon, one of the attendants standing in the doorway opened the door to the council chamber, and Vaodin was already waiting outside, and when the door opened, he walked straight in.
Today, Vaodin is not wearing a robe, but a fine and luxurious silk garment, which is difficult to tell if it is a sea tribe except for a few silver scales on his face.
When Vaodin arrived in the conference hall, all the city lords and representatives of the Holy City in the hall stared at him closely.
In the face of such a posture, Waodin did not have any restraint, still smiling and calm.
Walking to the center of the meeting, Vaodin first made a noble gesture to several city lords and representatives of the Holy City at the central round table, and then saluted the city lords and representatives of the Holy City around him.
In the face of the etiquette of the Vaodin nobility, everyone did not say anything, after all, the tension between the Sea Clan and the Human Race was not a day or two.
Vaodin didn't care about any of this, and after politely finishing the etiquette, he walked directly onto a podium next to the round table.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Holy Alliance! I have come to the Holy Alliance with friendship and sincerity on behalf of my father......"
"If you are really sincere, you should let your father, the King of the Sea Clan, come directly, not you, a child who has not grown any hair!"
It was only Vaodin's words that spoke, and they immediately drew ridicule from several representatives of the Holy City.
The holy city of these representatives is on the coast, and the conflict between them and the Sea Clan is the most intense on weekdays, so the hostility towards the Sea Clan is also the greatest at this time.
Vaodin did not reply, but smiled and looked at the round table in front of him.
When Duke Edward saw Waodin's gaze, he calmly raised his hands, signaling everyone to be calm, and let Vaodin finish his words, and everyone gradually fell silent.
When the room was quiet, Waodin saluted Duke Edward before continuing.
"I know that there was a lot of friction between our Sea Clan and the Human Race in the past, but I believe everyone knows that the cause of these things is not our Sea Clan."
"Of course, I didn't come on behalf of the Sea Clan this time to discuss with the Terrans who was right and who was wrong in the past, but I came with the friendship and sincerity of the Sea Clan this time."
"We are willing to open up trade between the Sea Clan and the Terrans, promise not to take the initiative to attack ships on the sea, and give each of the holy cities that support our Sea Clans various resources and materials equivalent to 200,000 gold coins worth of various oceans for free, these are the above as a thank you gift for the Terrans to allow the Sea Clan to enter the Godfall Land,"
When Vaodin's words fell, the council chamber fell silent, no one spoke, and everyone frowned in contemplation.
Everyone present knew very well that there were no less precious materials in the sea than on land......
Moreover, there are many races on the Holy Continent, and most of the resources have been exploited a lot over the long years.
And all kinds of resources in the vast ocean can only be exploited by the sea tribe, which is definitely more abundant than on land.
If the Sea Clan is really willing to trade with the Terrans, then the strength of the Terrans will definitely increase a lot in the future.
Moreover, this sea clan also gave each holy city a one-time gift worth 200,000 yuan, which was already a lot of wealth.
Of course, if the Sea Clan was asking for something else, then everyone present would definitely be moved, but about the matter of the Godfall Land, everyone needs to think carefully.
Because even if it is to trade with the Sea Clan, the vested interests must have regional factors, and the power of the Holy City in the interior will definitely not be as strong as the power of the Holy City along the coast.
Moreover, the resources in the Land of Godfall are not much less than the resources of the ocean, and even more precious, and if the Sea Clan is allowed to enter, it means that one or two passages to enter the Land of Godfall will be lost, so everyone can't choose the benefits for a while.
"You sea tribes need a few passages!"
At this moment, a city lord not far from Vaodin opened his mouth to ask, and this city lord was the city lord of the holy city of Atona.
Although the Holy City of Atona cannot be compared with the twelve Holy Cities of the Central Round Table, its strength in the Holy Alliance is also ranked in the top twenty, which can be regarded as having a lot of weight.
"Three of a kind! We Sea Clan only need three passages to the Godfall Lands! ”
"Impossible! We Terrans only have twenty-five, and if we have to give three to the Sea Clan, then what will we do with these holy cities! ”
"That's right! The Golden Shield family is naturally not anxious to have a passage alone, but we need several holy cities to share a passage, and if there are three places missing, how will we allocate them! ”
"We, Billy, Holy City, are against!"
Vaodin's words seemed to pour a glass of water into boiling oil, which instantly caused the entire council hall to explode, and some holy cities even pointed the finger at the Golden Shield family, who were the first to speak up in support of the Sea Clan.
The reason why the twelve families on the round table in the center have such transcendent strength and status is related to the passage of the Godfall Land.
The entire Holy Alliance has 108 members of the Holy City, but the share of passages to enter the Godfall Land is only twenty-five.
Moreover, among the twenty-five passages, the twelve holy cities on the round table were divided into twelve, and the other 96 holy cities could only be divided into thirteen passages, so it is conceivable that if three more were divided, the interests of these holy cities would be compressed again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me!"
Waodin listened to the noisy opposition, and his face did not show any panic, but spoke loudly.
At this time, Duke Edward raised his hand again, and in an instant, the noise in the conference room gradually subsided.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Sea Clan has already negotiated with the Beast Clan, and we will only take one place from the Beast Clan and the Human Race! As for the other spot, I hope you will give us the goblin spot."
Vaodin waited until everyone was a little quieter, and then immediately opened his mouth to say what the Sea Clan was planning!
After hearing Vaodin's words, everyone present really quieted down, and if it was according to Waodin's statement, it would still be acceptable.
And the reason why Waodin directly said the three places before, instead of saying the plan first, was naturally to ask for a sky-high price, and then lower the psychological expectations of everyone present.
The effect at this time is exactly like this, compared to three places, one place can naturally make everyone's hearts feel bearable, and the frowning brows of many Holy City City Lords have gradually relaxed.
As for the quota for the Goblins, the Goblins are already weak, and no one cares about them anymore.
A few days ago, the orcs also sent messengers to propose to deprive the goblins of the passage quota, and then let the elves, orcs and humans compete for the extra place.
Therefore, for this place, if there is enough interest, it is okay to sell it to the people of the Sea Clan.
"The conditions I mentioned earlier are all about getting a passage from the Terrans, and this passage for the Goblins, whether you Terrans or Orcs get it in the end, our Sea Clan will pay another 3 million gold coins to buy it!"
Waodin struck while the iron was hot and spoke again!
Hearing this, most of the people present were a little moved, and it was obvious that the conditions of the Sea Clan were really rich.
"I'm done! I hope that all the representatives of the Holy City and the City Lord will give good consideration to the sincerity of our Sea Clan. ”
Seeing the expressions of everyone present, Vaodin already had a certain number in his heart.
Then a slight smile appeared on the corner of Vaodin's mouth, and then he saluted to the crowd present, and walked simply towards the door of the council hall.
……
"I believe you have already made a decision in your heart at this time! Let's vote on it! ”
When Vaodin walked out of the hall, Edward looked around and spoke......
As Duke Edward's words fell, everyone in the conference hall did not act immediately, but kept looking around, obviously watching the actions of the other holy cities.
At this time, Huulton scanned the surroundings with a calm face, and then stretched out his right hand and raised it.
"My Golden Shield family agrees!"
As Houlton raised his hand, some representatives of the Holy City forces or city lords sitting behind him also raised their hands, and there were more than a dozen of them.
Since then, many people in the field have raised their hands in agreement.
At this time, there were more than thirty Holy City forces behind Duke Edward, and they did not raise their hands.
Everyone looked at Duke Edward.
"Since you all agreed, then I, Sky City, should also agree!"
Duke Edward spoke calmly, and after his words fell, the more than thirty Holy City forces behind him raised their hands in unison.
In fact, this matter has little to do with the interests of the twelve holy cities at the round table, but if the Sea Clan does not show enough 'sincerity', they are naturally unwilling to let the overall interests of the Holy Alliance be divided
Since then, in the end, none of the Holy City forces have objected, after all, the general trend is the general trend, if you speak out against it, not only will things still be like this, but you will not be able to get the benefits promised by the Sea Clan.
"Okay, then this matter is unanimously approved!"
"In that case, then write back to the Orcs and tell them that our Holy Alliance agrees to deprive the Goblin Clan of the passage quota, and in addition, they will notify the Elves to compete for the quota on their own!"
"However, the place to compete for a place must be in our Holy Alliance!"
Duke Edward made arrangements for the Sea Clan, which was the first thing to do at today's meeting.
"Then let's discuss the second matter, let the Duke of Houlton of the Golden Shield family talk about this matter!"
After Edward finished speaking, everyone present turned their eyes to Houlton.
Originally, there was no need to put this matter in the conference room to discuss, after all, it was just an unidentified young man, even if the strength was higher, any city lord present could solve him.
It's just that the problem is that among the dead people are the heirs and direct bloodlines of the Golden Shield Family, and the murderer has not been found yet, so the Golden Shield Family directly detained this black cauldron to the head of the Alliance Higher Academy.
Judging from the current reaction of the Golden Shield Family, if a bad one is likely to cause the conflict between the Golden Shield Family and the Alliance Higher Academy to escalate, then it will affect the entire Holy Alliance.
"The meaning of our Golden Shield Family is very simple, that is, we hope that all the holy cities in the alliance can help my Golden Shield Family want that killing god!"
"In addition, ask the Alliance Higher Academy to compensate our Golden Shield family! Provide 200 enrollment places for our Golden Shield family! ”
Wow!
"Two hundred admission places, the Golden Shield family is crazy!"
"Yes! How could Palmer agree, the enrollment quota of the Holy Alliance is only more than two thousand people every year, and the Golden Shield family actually wants to get two hundred places at one time! ”
For the first condition mentioned by Calmton, everyone didn't say much, just wanted, anyway, just put a wanted post.
And the second condition is to surprise everyone with the appetite of the Golden Shield family.
You must know that the number of human races in the Holy Alliance is billions, and there are 108 holy cities, but the Alliance Higher Academy only beckons two thousand people every year, what kind of ratio is this.
Moreover, among the two thousand people, the Alliance Higher Education Academy only gave 1,800 places to each Holy City, and the other two or three hundred people were recruited by the Holy Alliance independently, which could be regarded as cultivating its own power.
Even if the 1,800 places are divided equally, there are only a dozen people who can be sent to colleges and universities in each holy city every year.
After these people came out, they were all the backbone of the holy cities.
And Houlton now opens his mouth to ask for the equivalent of twenty years, and even if the Alliance Colleges are willing to agree, they will not agree.
What's more, now the Golden Shield family needs them to put pressure on Palmer together and agree to the Golden Shield family's request.
"Houlton, 200 places is too much! And even if we did, Palmer wouldn't agree! ”
While everyone was talking, Duke Edward spoke.
Although the Holy Alliance all belong to the same Terran race, the Terran race has never lacked infighting, and Sky City also does not want to see the situation of one or the other.
"Then my heir will die in vain? Warren is in the City of Hope, and Palmer must give me an account! Otherwise, our Golden Shield family will seek justice from Palmer on our own! ”
"100 places! And it needs to be divided into five years of enrollment! What do you guys think? ”
Edward spoke calmly, glaring at the other people at the round table.
The others thought for a moment and nodded in approval.
Seeing everyone's performance, Houlton frowned slightly, and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Yes!"
Although there are only 100 places, and they are divided over five years.
However, as long as there are a few high-level magicians or white flag knights among these people in the future, or even higher-level existences, the Golden Shield family can also grow a lot.
The most important thing is that it is completely fake, and since Edward has spoken, and the other holy cities have agreed, he can only do so.
really fell out without the Holy Alliance to help him put pressure together, with Palmer's temper, even if it was a place, don't think about it.
"Okay, that's all for today's meeting, everyone go back and prepare, I hope that our Holy Alliance will win the battle for places, no matter which Holy City it is!"
……
"Harry! I didn't expect you to be so powerful, and you passed the assessment all at once! ”
In the cafeteria of the Alliance Academy, Gervais sat around a table with Ratchey, Adele, and Zenia, while Lackey and Zenia looked at him with envy.
Because Gervais has successfully passed the assessment this morning and has become a junior fire mage recognized by the academy!
And with the recognition of the Academy, as long as he holds the certificate provided by the Academy, Gervais can go directly to the Wizards Association for certification.
As long as the certification is completed, then Gervais can live a superior life in the Holy Alliance.
For example, there is no need to pay an entry tax to enter the city.
There are also no taxes to be paid across the borders of different holy cities.
Even where he wanted to go, he didn't need to pay for it or arrange a carriage or anything, as long as the slightest news was released, many caravans would rush to invite him with a luxurious carriage.
In order to get the magician to intervene, he could be exempted from the taxes that the caravan needed on the road.
Of course, the most important thing is that you can use magic openly in any city, and you don't have to worry about being captured and killed by the Magicians Association like a wild mage.
"Huh! It's just luck, in fact, there is a magic that I am not very proficient in, and I often can't release it! ”
Looking at the sour appearance of the two, Gervais was rarely humble.
"After dinner, let's accompany Harry to the certification of becoming a magician! Adella, what do you think! ”
Hearing Gervais's modesty, Zenia and the two suddenly felt a lot better, while Ratchey suddenly looked at Adella, found that Adella was still looking around, and immediately made a suggestion.
“……”
It's just a pity that Adela didn't hear Ratche's words.
In the end, it was Zenia who saw Ratchi's embarrassed appearance and gently pulled Adella's arm, and Adella reacted.
"What's wrong! Zenia? ”
"Rage said we'll accompany Harry to the Wizards' Guild to complete the certification later!"
"Oh! Good! ”
Naturally, Adella would not refuse this proposal, she already regarded Harry as a friend, and it was normal for her to accompany Harry to complete the certification.
However, although Adele agreed, Lache was still listless, and obviously suffered a big blow.
"It seems that we have to find a way to get this young lady out of such a bad state!"
Gervais has seen all this, and naturally knows what Adella is always looking around for these days.
Gervais was afraid that Adella would be stunned if she continued like this, and thought that she had to let Adella out of such a state.
