Chapter 404: As long as you don't hit my daughter's idea
After a longer silence than expected, the scene exploded amid discussions.
And there were not only other lords on the field, but Vimir and the others also looked at him with a look of surprise.
Lloyd...... The king of the uncrowned city?
Vimere had never thought of such a thing, and inexplicably felt that his figure suddenly became magnificent, and he unconsciously raised his head and began to look up, and was pressed down by the latter with a dark face.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Faced with this situation, Luo Wei's reaction was not much better than that of others.
What was the old fox thinking?
The first thing he could think of was that the other party planned to use this identity to confine him here and prevent him from continuing to support the princess.
But isn't it just a name?
Could it be that the other party really thinks that relying on his name can deter the Hoof Fire Empire, even Luo Wei wants to ask why? Wait a minute...... Speaking of which, it seems that his name does appear over there, and Marcus once reported a danger list, causing the people of Difate to immediately choose to avoid conflict when they saw him.
But it's hard to say, right? The most plausible explanation is that Randall himself has reached some kind of agreement with the Hoof Fire Empire, and pulling him out is just a cover-up.
Luo Wei's mind was racing, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't escape the fact in front of him - he was indeed calculated by this old yinbi.
"Ryan Heaill," Randall said suddenly, breaking the tone of the discussion, "this proposal shouldn't frustrate you, right?" β
"How could ......it be," Ryan reacted, with a helpless expression of pleading the other party around him, "I don't think I have that kind of talent." β
Cold sweat broke out on his back when Randall looked at him and said that, in fact, he had already said goodbye to Eluffa and them yesterday, and he had stayed in the city long enough to wait for the end of the matter here, and he almost should start a new adventure at the next stop, and he didn't know what to do when he was suddenly left behind.
And he can't rule the city or something, he can't do it at all...... In the Legion, he was already very reluctant, and the main affairs were actually in charge of Eluffa and Dundry, and his ignorant ideas were not less ridiculed.
Ryan followed the crowd and looked over, but what he didn't expect was that the fact that he had just escaped fell on Luo Wei's head in a blink of an eye, and there were some indescribable complicated emotions for a while.
ββ¦β¦β
In his opinion, Rowe does have this qualification, and Randall's words are obviously said to Rowe, but thinking that it was so deliberately arranged, Ryan can sense that this may not be so simple no matter how stupid he is, and he doesn't know whether to worry or celebrate for his best friend for a while.
But with his merits, he really deserves this honor.
ββ¦β¦ Let Luo Wei be the king of the Crownless City? β
"This, what the hell is this......"
The others exchanged glances with each other, and the result was somewhat unexpected, Randall's personal request was actually to let Rowe take over the city? What is the ...... between them?
"Don't over-read it, I'm doing this entirely based on the positions of all parties, including you," Randall saw through their thoughts, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I might as well try to recall that although Rowe Brooke has not been seen very often in your field of vision, and most of the time he doesn't seem to care about your life or death, please think about it, in this whole Artisan Guild incident - what would have happened without him?" β
Randall accented the words "without him", and his eyes followed the old calculation.
The knowing lords tightened their expressions.
And even those who don't know, even those who are disgusted by Luo Wei's style of acting, can't deny that he does have unexpected means while his reputation is controversial, and it is an indisputable fact that he saved the city alone, and in the face of the mechanical goddess's artillery, all their relatives who stayed in the city survived because of him, and even if they don't understand the process, winning the decisive battle with the goddess is also a good news.
"If you want to change, you must have a vision beyond this era and the means to put it into practice," Randall said with an unchanged expression, "You need a competent leader who voluntarily does not wear a crown, and as far as I am concerned, I would prefer that it is the people of Lion Court who will take over this burden, so that the people of Lion Court will be more acceptable." β
Randall continued, looking at Ryan again.
"Ryan Helilo over there is also a Lion Garden, and he can also be regarded as a manufacturable material, but after all, he still lacks experience and growth in his vision, and with just his enthusiasm, there must be a bumpy road to go if he wants to suppress the Hoof Fire Empire. So even if I am willing to make concessions, there is no guarantee that the actual outcome will be as you think. β
Ryan looked a little embarrassed.
Ashamed, ashamed...... There's really no way to refute it, he still does things more intuitively.
The lords present heard another meaning in the words, what Randall wanted to express was that if Ryan was allowed to be the candidate, in case he could not suppress the Hoof Fire Empire, the Lion Garden would not relax its preparations for war against the Crownless City.
From the very beginning, the proposition that this threw out was to become the uncrowned king who ignores government affairs, and at the same time to suppress the threat from the side of the Hoof Fire Empire, which is simply not possible with common sense, why is he so sure that Luo Wei can do it with a name? How can anyone in the world really do this so easily?
Vimeer: I... I'm also from Shiyuan......
"What if both of them refuse." Vanessa said coldly.
"Then even if I hand over the city to you now, I'm afraid I'll soon have to return to the Lion Court or the Hooffire," Randall's deep gaze was clear, "and you need to pay for the cost of this dispute." β
ββ¦β¦β
Is this the hammer of war?
This remark left many people present speechless, thinking that peace would be ushered in after the disaster, but in fact, in this place between them, they originally had not many choices.
And Randall's words completely woke up the slightest luck they still had in their hearts, and what qualifications did the city that was in ruins have the right to talk about war.
"It seems that you fully understand," Randall said calmly with a pretentious majesty, "I have thought enough from your standpoint, and the rest is up to you, in my opinion, it would be foolish not to take such an opportunity, if it weren't for his refusal to cooperate with me, I'm afraid it would not be your turn to have this opportunity." β
Loveley gritted her teeth and almost got up from her chair.
You ......! Let him be the city lord of the uncrowned city, what kind of idea is it!
"Hehe......" Randall looked at her, his eyes were sharp and grinned unabashedly, "There is no need to doubt the feasibility of this matter, just like he also used his own name to solve the problems of our country's Wang Women's Volleyball Team." β
Loveley: "! β
Why would he know about it.
"Y-Why can you make sure that if Rowe becomes the lord of the city, he will remove the threat of the Hoof Fire Empire?" Someone dared to ask.
Randall turned back and smiled deeply, as if he was waiting for someone to ask, and as soon as he reached out, one of his subordinates handed him a rolled-up paperwork, tied with a ribbon of flame and gold horse patterns.
"In fact, I have an unsigned document from the Hoof Fire Empire here, from the Imperial Southern Marshal Depas Klirom."
Marcus: "......"
Filica: "......"
Even this kind of thing is prepared, not so much a personal request, but let everyone go down step by step according to his way of thinking, and it seems that he is willing to take a step back and let Ryan take over, and the actual result is inevitable.
The difference is nothing more than whether Ryan prepares to send troops according to the situation after taking over, or whether the craftsmen will send troops immediately after taking over.
Even the two marshals felt that each other's means were not so much concessions, but in fact they had no choice at all, and they were overwhelmed.
But will Rowe say yes?
The eyes of the audience were all focused, including silent observers, pessimists with worries on their faces, and all kinds of overwhelmed people with various complex emotions, like a river of sight converging towards Rowe.
But more than that, there is an indescribable emotion in it.
"Is that so?" Luo Wei suddenly spoke.
Randall looked over with a slightly playful expression, as if waiting for his answer.
"You mean, if I don't take over, I'll let Ryan come," Rowe raised his gaze, "If Ryan doesn't take over, leave the city to fend for itself, right?" β
"You should be able to tell that this is a solution that satisfies all parties." Randall smiled heavily.
"So, why did Tepas promise you?"
As Luo Wei's initial guess, Randall and the Hoof Fire Empire had already reached an agreement, and from the time he first dug up the truth about the Artisan Guild, the other party made a promise to make the affairs of the city clear and deliberate for a long time.
Before the war began, the fire of war had already begun to burn.
"Hehe......" Randall paused for a moment, then grinned coldly, "because of some consensus." β
Don't you want to say it?
Luo Wei couldn't think of any agreement between the two men, but there was one sentence he could understand - if he refused, he would drag Ryan here.
Rowe believed that if he refused, Ryan would agree, this guy would not ignore the city he saved, no matter how difficult it was for him, if the problem was not solved, it was impossible to leave so reassuringly.
And since Randall knew about the fake marriage contract with the princess, he didn't break it in front of the other nobles, obviously for now, after all, this will indeed bring some trouble to Lovery, especially in this critical period. With the chips in hand, you don't have to rush to play, everything at the moment is equivalent to a "return gift" to him who is loyal to the princess after the last time he talked alone.
It's a lot of scheming.
It can be said that as long as this guy sets up a trap, no one can escape.
And Luo Wei pondered for a long time just now, and there was only one possibility that it was in line with the logic of the other party's behavior of giving him the Crownless City, although it sounded a little ridiculous as uncertain-
This guy is probably planning to raise his priority in the Third World, right?
Rowe admits that he has sinister thoughts about putting Randall in front of him, and this old thing actually coincides with him? If you want to die, how can you kill him alone, how can you pull a few cushions up to disperse the firepower, isn't it, the city lord of the uncrowned city?
It's also friendly to neighbors.
What the hell am I ......
He hoped that he was overly concerned, after all, taking down a city lord who didn't do practical things would not have any impact, and the area around the Crownless City was no longer the focus of the Third World, but could be said to be a rare pure land in the entire continent. But this old thing knows too much, and I'm afraid that there will be something famous in the future, forcing him, the city lord, to do something vigorous, then it's really a hell.
"You don't have to have any doubts," Randall smiled silently at the sight of him, "maybe one day you will suddenly find out that I really mean to think about you, after all, the right person is very important, hehe." β
"If you believe what you say, they won't have this expression, or you can see for yourself."
"I think that's the world's misunderstanding of me, if you're worried about what I'll do to Uncrowned City in the future, then I'm afraid you're too cautious."
"Can you put this condition in the contract?"
ββ¦β¦β
The eyes of the people around him gradually became confused.
These two people, are they a little sympathetic?
But that's the prime minister of Lion Garden, Luo Wei dares to be so-for-tat, which really makes people look a little different.
"Of course, if you wish," Randall smiled calmly, as if he didn't mind Rowe's malicious speculation about him, "it would surprise me a little that you would be so defensive." β
Luo Wei ignored him.
If you continue to talk like this, it is not impossible to suddenly say "Have you ever been an enemy of me", let this guy know about the second week, then Loveley is waiting to cry in the room with a wet pillow, no one can think about turning over this plate.
He sighed softly, catching a chance glimpse of the craftsmen's expressions looking at him, and avoided his gaze with a slight silence.
The craftsmen who were noticed also quickly withdrew their gaze.
ββ¦β¦β
Unexpectedly, it was up to him to decide in the end.
The opinions of the craftsmen in this matter did not matter at all, and they did not have a choice, and it was naΓ―ve to expect Randall to think so well at first.
"That ......" at this time, a craftsman suddenly spoke, "as long as you don't beat my daughter's idea, I can recognize him as the king of the Crownless City......"
"Neither can my sister!"
"That'...... My wife can't! β
"My sister-in-law ......"
Craftsmen, you say a word to me, as if you are afraid that you will not have time to speak if you are too late.
Ayining: "......"
What are you all worried about......
This is probably some kind of euphemism, she thought, after all, Luo Wei has never responded to their expectations, rather than worrying about whether that guy can become a qualified king, whether he himself has considered this matter is even more uneasy, who can be sure that the Prime Minister of the Lion Court is not sure that Luo Wei will refuse to deliberately act this play, in fact, the essence is to take the Crownless City for himself.
"Yes, I agree to become the lord of the Crownless City." Luo Wei understated.
This answer made the eyes of everyone present tighten.
He...... Agreed?!
"But I have a few too," Rowe narrowed his eyes, "less inconsequential private requests." β
The craftsmen looked at each other, and Randall smiled inexplicably.
"Huh...... Just say it. β
"I don't plan to stay in this city forever, and if the Lion Court or the Hoof Fire unilaterally tear up the agreement, don't expect me to come back and do something, and don't have to inform me."
Regardless of Randle's intentions, Rowe will not sit idly by and push this matter to Ryan, since the other party dealt him this card, whether it is good or bad depends on how to play it.
Obviously, he will not be shackled here by the so-called identity of a lord, nor will he let the other party push him to the forefront, how to use this identity, at least it is not a certainty yet.
Rowe looked at Filica to the side.
"So, I'm going to need someone to help me run the city," he said, looking at him, "and whatever happens, the people of this city should turn to this person, not me." β
Felica: "? β
The craftsmen listened to him, the "city lord" who threw out the errand before he arrived, and they didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.
I really took myself out completely......
"Since the Prime Minister of the Lion Court has appointed me, a Lion Court man, to be the city lord, then as a balance, I hope that this person will be born in the Hoof Fire Empire." Rowe continued.
Felica: "......? β
"At the same time, this person must have outstanding management skills, have many years of experience in governing one side, and at the same time be able to deal with everything without my intervention, and it is best to be ashamed of the city."
βοΌβ
"As a marshal, I believe that no one can be more competent in this matter, and I can also be cautious of the wind and grass caused by the Lion Court side in disregard of the agreement."
ββ¦β¦β
"So, what do you think?" Rowe said as he looked at Felica.
Then he turned to the other side of the crowd.
"βEastern Marshal Marcus Calendelle?"
In this familiar scene, people stared blankly, and they all turned their eyes to the third-level god sitting there.
Marcus: "......"
Bena, the clever machine, looked at her master with a look of surprise.
And the former Eastern marshal sat there and laughed.
