Chapter XXXI
Olya retrieved the crystal ball from her bag after Desaidis' speech, and left the council hall with the guards, once again with only a few councillors left.
Speaker Seyfrith said to the councillors: "I think what Desaidis said is very reasonable, if the merfolk can join forces with us, not only can we stop the malevolent plan of the Shark Dragon Clan, but we can even exterminate the Shark Dragon Clan in one fell swoop." What do you think?"
Everyone nodded yes, but Algron was the only one who didn't say a word. Seeing that no one clearly objected, Seyfrith smiled and said, "It seems that everyone is not opposed, then I will officially announce that the dragon clan and the mermaid clan will join forces to deal with the shark dragon clan together." As he spoke, Seyfrith picked up the hammer in front of him, and was about to knock it down when someone suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a minute, Speaker!" it was none other than Argron, who had just said nothing.
Seyfrith frowned slightly and asked, "What else, Lord Algron?"
Algron said, "Lord, should we vote on a major matter like this to cooperate with the merfolk, otherwise the whole clan will say that we are too hasty." ”
After listening to Algron's words, Severis pondered for a moment, and said, "You have a point, such a big thing should indeed be decided by voting, what do you think?" said Severis and looked at the rest of the people. It has always been a tradition of the dragons to vote on anything important, and now that Alglon has asked for a vote, there is really no reason for everyone to refute it.
"I agree. Catherine took the lead.
"Agreed. ”
"We also agreed to vote. Everyone said that although Kaysved was reluctant to do so, now that everyone had agreed to vote, it didn't mean much for him to oppose it alone.
"Okay, since everyone thinks they should vote, let's vote. Seyfrith said.
The voting process is familiar to MPs, and they can vote with a show of their hand. "According to voting tradition, this vote is a war affair and requires a unanimous vote to pass this resolution, so please think twice," Severis said. ”
After waiting for a while, Seyfrith continued: "Okay, now start voting, if you agree to cooperate with the merfolk and jointly wage war against the mermaid clan, please raise your hand, if you don't agree, you don't have to raise your hand. ”
As soon as Seyfrith's words fell, all the parliamentarians raised their hands in unison, in fact, this matter did not need to be voted on at all, and who would oppose this resolution in the face of annihilation. Severis was about to announce the result, when he suddenly noticed that there was one person who did not raise his hand in agreement, and that person was Argron.
Before Seyfrith could speak, Catherine slapped the table and stood up, angrily scolding, "What do you mean?"
Everyone else was also stunned, at such a critical moment, there would be people who would oppose the life and death of the dragon clan, what was the idea in Algron's heart.
Argron said with a gloomy face: "I don't mean anything, I just don't agree, can't I?"
"You ......" Catherine was furious, and was about to pounce on Algron as soon as she pushed the table, but Kaysved next to her quickly grabbed her, if there was a fight in the council, everything they had done beforehand would be in vain, and they must not be impulsive at this time.
"Calm down. Kaysved whispered in Catherine's ear.
Catherine was reminded by Kaysved that she calmed down a lot, if she did it in the council today, then this meeting would be in vain, and all the previous preparations and Desaidis's explanations would be useless, so it happened to fall into Argron's trick.
"Lord Catherine, please calm down!" Seyfrith reminded in a loud voice. Catherine, who had calmed down, also happened to borrow the donkey to get off the slope, and she saluted: "I'm sorry, my lord, but I was too impulsive. With that, Catherine sat down in her chair fiercely, but her eyes were fixed on Algron as if she were going to swallow them alive.
Everyone else sighed to themselves, "This she-dragon is really fiery enough, and it is really unlucky for O'Hiris to marry her." "In fact, how did they know that Catherine at home was not like this at all.
Seeing that Catherine was no longer making trouble, Severis was somewhat dissatisfied with Algron in his heart, and said in his heart: "When has this been, why are you still acting rashly, and what good will it do you to stir up this matter?"
It's a pity that Alglon doesn't care about it, and he doesn't eat the whole oil and salt, and it is clear that he wants to oppose Catherine and Kaysved. Seyfrith suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible: "Lord Algron, now that everyone agrees, you are the only one who objects, can you explain your reasons?"
"I'm not against going to war, I just can't trust Desaidis, and I suspect that Lord Kaisvid has a secret deal with Desaidis. ”
"Algron, don't be a fool of yourself! what proof do you have?" asked Kaisvid sharply.
"If I had evidence, I would have impeached you a long time ago, but it's a pity. But I can't trust you and the merfolk, so I'm going to vote against it. "Arglon was clearly going to be a trickster, and Kaysved had nothing to do with him. The others didn't know how to persuade them, not to mention that they didn't want to take the matter on themselves, and the current situation was very clear, that is, Algron wanted to take the opportunity to avenge his son.
"Lord Algron, if you don't agree to this plan, then do you have any other way?" At the critical moment, Severis is still experienced, and his problem is also very clear, since you Alglon wants to vote against it, then you have to come up with a way, otherwise don't oppose it.
Argron wasn't a fool, and he couldn't use the same trick against Kaysvid as Severis, and he couldn't play tricks with Severis. Arglon stood up and said, "Speaker, it's not that I disagree with this plan, but I'm just worried that some people will betray the interests of the dragons for their own personal gain, so I can only vote against it. ”
"And how can you agree to this plan?" asked Seyfrith continued.
Alglon glanced at Kaysved with his eyes, and made a look of wanting to say something, and when Kaysved saw his expression, he secretly screamed in his heart, this guy is going to take advantage of himself! Sure enough, Algron's performance began to say: "It's actually very easy for me to agree to this plan, as long as Master Kaysved can make me feel enough trust." ”
Kaysved was furious, but now the situation was that Algron was blackmailing him, and he had to respond no matter what, otherwise he would be the one who stood in the way. "Tell me, what's the condition?" said Kaysved coldly.
"Sure enough, it's a quick talk. With a sly glint in his eyes, Arglon said word by word, "My condition is simple, that is, to expel Sawan Bennett from the dragon clan immediately. ”
Kaysved's gaze became like a thousand years of ice, and he didn't answer for a long time, but Catherine on the side couldn't suppress her anger, and suddenly stood up and said: "Algron, these are two things, please don't mix them up!
Algron's anger also rose, and he said viciously: "I just want to mix it up, what can you do? My son can't die in vain, I just want him to pay!"
Catherine's eyes almost burst into flames, if they could kill Algron, she would have died a hundred times, but this time she didn't make the gesture to fight. Seeing the scene like this, Severis only felt an incomparable headache, Algron bastard, is this going to kill the dragon alive? But now there is no way to sanction him, and the only person who can solve this impasse at present is probably Kaysved.
"Let's take a break. Seyfrith said helplessly.
"Hmph!" Algron shook his hand and walked straight out of the hall.
The scene was so tense that the other councillors felt the atmosphere very oppressive and went outside the council hall to breathe.
"Kaye, wait a minute. Seyfrith stopped Kaysved and pulled him to a corner of the hall.
"Is there anything going on, Sir?" said Kaisvid, with a blank expression.
"You don't have to be so polite in private. Seyfrith smiled reluctantly and said, "I know that this matter is unreasonable on the part of Argron today, and privately I am on your side." ”
Kaisvid laughed too, he shook his head and said, "Just say but." ”
Seyfrith smiled awkwardly, and then said, "I know this is unfair to you, but now the survival of the dragon clan is at stake, and I want you to ...... for the sake of the whole clan."
Kaysved sighed and said, "I see. ”
"Don't worry, after this incident, I will definitely find a way to revoke the punishment of Savan, and then let him come back, he is only temporarily away for a while, you don't have to worry too much. Seysfrith said.
"I see, but I have my conditions......" Kaisvid said with a sudden look up.
