Section 138 Solomon's Proposal (I)
After successfully crushing the attempt of the Isle of the Dead to draw the demons into the Dark Council, Prince Mammon and Prince David glanced at each other and felt a lot more relaxed.
You must know that once the demon party enters the Dark Council, it will inevitably be the most unfavorable to the Hidden Alliance.
Fortunately, the Hidden Council has new allies after getting acquainted with Solomon, and under Solomon's guidance, it has found a better path, but the Dark Council is still extremely important to the Hidden Alliance, and if the demons join the Council and have the qualifications to be members, the other members of the Dark Council will have every reason to stand idly by.
The three councillors of the Isle of the Dead could not see much change, but the direction in which Macaius's eyes flickered red from time to time was Solomon.
Solomon, looking calm, as if unconscious, continued: "Now I have a proposal on behalf of Prince Francis for your consideration. ”
"What proposal?" Mikot said with a frown.
"I also hope that you will allow a new member to join and qualify as a councillor. ”
"Who?"
Solomon straightened up, then pointed at himself and said, "That's me!"
"You?" "You," although Matthius's voice was as cold as ever, the red glow in his eyes flickered much faster, "Just because of your words, the Demon Banquet Alliance failed to join the council, what qualifications do you have?"
"Of course I'm qualified, just as the Isle of the Dead can introduce the Demon Feast Alliance. Solomon said in a deep voice, "I already have the status of a parliamentary observer, and if three more members are willing to introduce me, I can submit a bill to the parliament." I considered my credentials. ”
Mammon, David. And then count the Francis that Solomon now represents. There are exactly three MPs, enough to introduce this bill.
And Prince Mammon and Prince David both nodded slightly, apparently having promised Solomon a long time ago.
"Alright, let's discuss whether he has the right to add another chair to this table!" Stephen said coldly, "When you reminded everyone to carefully consider the qualifications of the members of the Demon Banquet Alliance, you said that it would be based on what benefits they can bring to the council, not trouble, so you sue us now." Why do you ask us to admit that you could possibly sit at this table? If I'm not mistaken, you're not a legendary mage. ”
It is not surprising that Solomon will prevent him from joining the Dark Council and trying to veto his membership on the Island of the Dead, not to mention that they may already know that he is one of the people who attacked the Black Warrior Emperor that day, even if he is not right, just today when he walks with the Hidden Alliance, and directly leads the Demon Party's membership to be denied, it is impossible for Macaius and them to agree to him joining.
But Solomon also had to qualify for it, and it was the best choice after consulting with Mammon and David.
He had already offended the Isle of the Dead in Fadel, although the undead could not help him for the time being. But it will always be a hidden danger in the long run, if you join the Dark Council and qualify as a member. It is equivalent to an extra layer of amulet.
Because the Dark Council is also very important to the Island of the Dead, the undead have very few allies in this world, and most creatures hate them, and only regard them as enemies and objects that must be destroyed, and they are also incompatible with the believers of various gods, and the Dark Council is one of the few platforms that has close ties with the undead, can help each other, and provide them with a certain amount of transactions.
If he can become a member of the Dark Council, at least the Isle of the Dead is unlikely to openly attack Solomon in the future, otherwise it will inevitably cause the anger of the other members of the council and will not be able to gain a foothold in the council.
And although Solomon had sabotaged the undead's plans in Fadell, that was before, and if he succeeded in becoming a councillor, the undead would have suffered a dumb loss.
"You don't just need your own great power to become a councilor, right?" Solomon smiled slightly, and glanced at King Mitaunos and Medusa, what he meant was obvious, neither the Mitaunos nor the Medusa generation had a legendary powerhouse.
"Hmm, do you think I'm no match for those guys?" King Huo of Mitaunos stood up suddenly, he was nearly three meters tall, and the bulging muscles on his body were like iron casting.
Queen Medusa patted King Mitaunos lightly, and then turned to Solomon and said: "Didn't Mammon and David sue you, although we have not entered the legendary realm, our councilor qualifications are to represent the Mitaunos and Medusa tribes, and what do you have? Although you introduced yourself just now, it seems that you are a nobleman of the human race, but you are neither a king, nor do you have the power of the legendary realm, even if you have some people under you, can you compare with our two races?"
"Dear Queen, it is true that my own strength is insignificant before you, and though I have some men, not all of them are as valiant as the Mitaunos, and as all-powerful as Medusa. Solomon admitted, "However, I think that my participation will help the council, and it will be good for you." ”
"What is the benefit?" said the Harpy Witch impatiently.
"If I join the council, I can help you expand the scope of your deals. Solomon said in a deep voice, "Moreover, I am confident that if you are willing to listen to my opinions and strengthen exchanges and cooperation, the dark council will be better developed, which also means that the councillors will have a better life." ”
"Better off, do you mean you ruined our long-planned plan in Fadel?" said Matthius, the red glint in his eyes fixed on Solomon.
"That's because I'm not a member of the Dark Council yet, and I have to survive at that time. Solomon shrugged his shoulders and said, "And this plan for the Isle of the Dead should never have been supported by the council. ”
"He's right, Marsaius, your plans for the Isle of the Dead have never asked for our support, but have always wanted our enemies to enter the council. Prince David said fiercely, "Since you can introduce the Demon Banquet Alliance to join, then of course Solomon is also qualified to become a councilor." ”
"Okay, don't argue, this Earl Solomon of the Terrans, you said too generally, you said that you can expand the scope of our trade after becoming a councilor, what do you mean, can you be specific?" said the Harpy Witch.
"Great Witch King, as far as I know, you need to get the products of the earth, such as the Mitaunos who like heavy armor, Medusa who also needs the Terrans' elaborate equipment, bows and arrows, Witch King, don't you also need magic mediums and alchemical tools? ”
"Elven Chess!" roared King Mitaunos.
As one of the clans with a long history in the underworld, Mitaunos certainly remembered that when the High Elves invaded the underground world, they once invented such a set of strategic tools, and combined them with the artifact Paradise Lost, which once left a deep impression on the underground tribes in the war. Because Achia's army was able to inflict heavy losses on the underground tribes and retreat in their entirety, it was with the help of Paradise Lost that he calculated the movements of each tribe.
After the war, the surface human race rose and inherited this set of strategic tools, and after the establishment of the Dark Council, the underground tribes also knew about the existence of the elven magic chess from the surface members of the Dark Council.
"Terran, the war in our underground world does not need to be interfered with by others for the time being, and our races have not yet degenerated to the point where we need to rely on the leadership of others to resist the dark elves. But I'm interested in what you're talking about. Queen Medusa said.
"No, we're not going to agree to his credentials, he's not qualified to sit at this table. Matthias growled.
"Macaeus, this is not up to you undead, even if you oppose it, our Hidden Alliance will definitely support it. Prince David sneered.
"Well, then, let's vote?" said the Harpy Witch.
"Wait. Mikot suddenly spoke, "I don't think we can vote yet, although there is a recommendation from the Hidden Alliance, but it is always hard to believe." You say that all these contributions that can be made to the parliament have to be seen by us before we can start voting, what do you think?"
"That's right!" said King Mitaunos.
Solomon took a deep look at Mikot, who was hostile to him on the matter, or at least unwelcoming.
But he knew why, because before that, in addition to the Rose Spider, Mitaunos, Medusa, and Harpy Witch needed to get equipment and various materials from the surface. tools, the island of the dead basically can't help much, mainly with the help of Mikot and the Secret Alliance, the most important way is Mikot, because he himself has some black market and gray trading channels in the surface world, even if the spirit suckers want to get some surface creatures, they are mostly through him, and the Secret Alliance due to the identity of the blood clan, although it can also handle some of it, but it is more restricted, and the various ways are not as rich as Mikot.
The benefits that Solomon just proposed, if he became a councilor, might indeed give Mitaunos and Medusa more choices, and might even get what Mikot couldn't provide them, but it also reduced Mikot's influence in the council in disguise.
"It doesn't matter, why don't you try it first. Solomon said, "If you have anything you need, you can talk to me, as long as the price is right." After a few trades, if everyone is satisfied, they can judge whether my joining is good for everyone, and then vote on my membership as a councilor. ”
Solomon said to the three councillors of the Isle of the Dead: "Including you, I am deeply sorry for accidentally sabotaging your plan last time, and if there is anything on the Isle of the Dead that needs my help, you may not be able to cooperate." ”
Regardless of whether Mathias would accept it or not, Solomon finally set his eyes on Mikot and said meaningfully: "Mr. Mikot, I know that you doubt my sincerity and ability, but I want to point out that some of your worries are not necessarily necessary sometimes, because we may not be able to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and help each other.
