In the absence of kings, the ruler of Simon was the head of the council, a position pronounced in the lingua franca as 'Koomak', and as a city-state with a large population, there was no doubt that a leader was needed.

Then the ownership of the location of Coomak is also a big deal for the city.

For the past few years, this position has been vacant due to the manipulation of the Night King, presumably to give himself a better grasp of Simon - a government without a leader is bound to be inefficient.

The deposition of the Night King puts the matter on the agenda, but on the day of the discussion, the opposition of these nobles caught Penny a little off guard.

"Oh, since it's been four years since there has been no Koomak, that's how the council has come, and I think it's not bad, we're all used to it. ”

It wasn't just one person who thought the same thing, most of the other nobles did the same, which made the wizard frown deeply.

He sat in the shadow behind Vika, holding his chin and looked at the faces of the opposing nobles one by one, and his face gradually became solemn.

Most of these nobles were the current leaders of the nobles whose heads of the family had been kidnapped by the Serre Concession, and they were unanimously opposed to the election of Koomak, which undoubtedly made Penny smell a dark smell.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we need to know how inefficient Simon is without a unified leader, and are we going to repeat the mistakes of the Night King's time?"

Of course, it is not impossible for someone to hope for the emergence of a new Koomak, and James Salawar is one of the most active among them, because of the vampire's control of Simon, he has endured it until now, and now he has only gained power, and now he has no problem with Pan Diesel and believes that Simon should return to the previous order.

But more nobles apparently didn't think so: "The Night Lord has been wiped out, now it's our turn to take charge of our own destiny, Simon doesn't need a king, no other leadership, the council can solve everything." ”

"Oh...... Stop for a moment. Vika frowned and slammed the table slightly: "We can postpone the discussion about Koomak, but with or without him, Simon City must have a set of order, whether it is for internal affairs or diplomacy, or between us......"

"Between us?" a nobleman whistled lightly, "Excuse me, we all know which family is the most powerful in Ximen City now, of course, this is because those big families have become poor and white after this disaster." ”

"Ahem. The wizard coughed suddenly: "I would like to kindly remind you that to build a stable order, you must make certain sacrifices, and a little power is not so important. ”

"Is this a threat, dear Mr. Wizard?" a nobleman squinted at the shadow behind Vika, "Although we respect your contribution to Simon City to let you participate in our meeting, please note that it is not appropriate to sit there as Your Excellency. ”

The wizard kept his mouth shut, and as he said, although he had a whole list of titles on his body, he was not a nobleman of Simon after all, and he was not qualified to speak at this meeting.

However, this sentence made Vica raise her eyebrows, and her expression was extremely dissatisfied.

"Yes, Ms. Edmont, he is not your husband yet. Goodall, who had been quietly watching the situation change, suddenly spoke and looked at Vika quietly: "For our meeting, as a special guest, he shouldn't give too many opinions. ”

"Oh?" Vika was even more displeased, "So we should ignore Diesel's contribution to Simon?"

"One yard to one yard. A young nobleman hesitated and said: "Mr. Diesel's exploits will not be forgotten by the Simons, and of course we should be rewarded, but we should not ignore the fact that he is not from Simon, and, more importantly, we need him to explain one thing, Mr. Diesel, it is said that the kidnapping of my father by the Sayre Concession was planned by Your Excellency and the Celsers, right?"

As soon as these words were uttered, the scene fell silent, and after a long time, James Salaval laughed dryly: "Don't be kidding, Mr. Vamos, Simon knows that Mr. Diesel and the Serles are enemies. ”...,

"An enemy may not be able to cooperate, and it may not be an enemy. Another nobleman snorted coldly: "Maybe the whole incident is a drama directed by some wizard." ”

"Oh, do you think the Night King, who almost killed us, came out to act?" Vika frowned again, "The dead people of Simon won't agree with you, dear Mr. DeLarry. ”

"To hell," the young man who had replaced the old Dillarry as the new councillor stood up and shouted at Penny, "Anyway, someone has to explain this." ”

“...... Accusations require evidence. The wizard closed his eyelids slightly, knowing that the guy who was dealing with him had finally arrived, but this innocuous accusation had no effect on him: "Otherwise, it can only be a rumor." ”

He turned to Vika, "Aren't you here to get down to business, why dwell on an unquestionable rumor?"

"Are you dodging the question, Dear Mr. Diesel?" Councillor Deralry continued to ask sharply, "I find it hard to believe that the Night Lord will be defeated by you with a single hand. ”

"You should go back and study the arcane, and don't jump out and be embarrassed if you don't learn it. The repeated provocations made the wizard scoff.

"It is because of the layman that he has been deceived, dear councillors, please let us reconsider this Mr. Diesel ......" Congressman Dilary continued to shout unrelentingly, "reconsider his merits." ”

"Oh, that's funny, Mr. Deralry, it seems that you don't just think that Mr. Diesel is related to the Red Mage, but that it's a plot and a pretense created by the Night King. James Salaval laughed: "I never thought that one person could play so many roles, and your imagination is very admirable. ”

"It's not imagination, it's ......"

"That's enough, I should probably investigate it too, I don't know who Mr. Dilary gave that piece of information to in the pirate trade two years ago?" Penny suddenly spoke, "Maybe the Simon Council should carefully review the role of the Dellarie family in that time." ”

This is a very influential event that happened in Simon in recent years, the general content is that a group of inland pirates kidnapped a nobleman of Simon, extorted a large ransom and fled, but soon after, the group of pirates attacked a large caravan bound for Sambia, and some people later believed that the kidnapped nobles betrayed the caravan's route in exchange for freedom, but due to the destruction of this group of pirates, the matter could not be investigated.

Despite the fall of the pirates, the caravan belonging to the Eldo family suffered heavy losses in the attack, so Eldo Jr. has been tracking down who had betrayed the fleet to the pirates.

Penny's inquiry immediately silenced the chattering Congressman Dillarry, whose youth showed him a flaw, and Councillor Anthony Eldo on the other side immediately had a suspicious expression on his face and his eyes sharpened.

"Don't let outsiders see the jokes. A middle-aged man, the principal of Ilista, coughed softly, "Now is the time for us to celebrate survival and lick our wounds, and not to let the healing wounds crack again, gentlemen." ”

Goodall looked at the young Dillarry, slightly annoyed in his heart, he didn't expect this person to be so vulnerable in front of Pan Diesel, so easily exposed his flaws, so it seems that it is not reliable to expect this pig-like comrade-in-arms to delay time, and in the end, he still has to rely on real swords and real guns.

At this time, the Assassin needs to come into play.

Several screams rang out around the Great Council Chamber, and at the same time there was the sound of sharp blades entering flesh, and several stumps flew in with blood, followed by a large group of black-clad masked assassins, and the nobles immediately screamed and crawled under the table, and rushed to the back door, and those who had no ability to protect themselves fled like birds and beasts.

It's finally here.

The wizard frowned and moved his chair forward, alongside Vika, the current proprietress was a little pale, the wizard grabbed her shoulders and watched silently as the assassins at the door killed all the guards, while several masked men with scepters and shimmering magic brilliance walked in through the front and back doors, surrounding the only two in the middle.

It seems that all the nobles were deliberately let go.

"Your swiftness, Mr. Selion, has exceeded my expectations. Penny raised his head and smiled at the middle-aged man with the scar on the second-floor railing in a casual posture: "I really didn't expect you to be such an impatient person." ”

"This is a decision I had to make, dear Mr. Diesel, you are a little too dangerous for me. Selion bowed slightly, and the cold-faced teenage assassin stood behind him like a shadow: "If it takes a little longer, and you get the authority of Simon as you wish, I will have to leave the Dragon Coast in a gloomy way, which is not acceptable for me or my church, so I would rather do it early." ”

He stated with a slightly surprised expression: "But to my surprise, you really didn't have any guards prepared, are you sure that you can defeat me, or are you sure that you can easily get out of here?"

Penny shook his head slightly,

"What is there to prepare for against a wizard whose methodology has been exposed? ”

He looked at the priests standing on all sides, "I don't think you're stupid enough to take matters into your own hands against me. ”...... ，
