"What? The Red Wolf King is dead?"
Arden, the director of the Trial Bureau, stood up from his seat and looked at the witch hunter who reported to him in disbelief.
Arden was the actual person in charge of the Fabro City Council. After Abel's sudden death, Colonel Gayton took over the security affairs of Fabro City. Arden was nominated by Colonel Gayton and other council members as the temporary person in charge.
They even wanted Arden to become the acting speaker, but Arden rejected it sternly. Just kidding, Furnace just printed his declaration on the wall of the council hall, "The city of Fabro is not allowed to have a speaker." This sentence frightened all the alchemists in the city of Fabro.
Abel died, and the Red Wolf also died. The death of two level 5 apostles in the city of Fabro made Arden even more afraid.
After a moment, Yaden adjusted his tone, telling his men not to be afraid and encouraging his own courage: "Don't worry, Mr. Obed, the county president, will come to Fabro City in person. He will also bring witch hunters from the provincial court. When Mr. Obed arrives, everything will be solved. We just need to hold on for a few more days and we can wait for dawn. Now is just a short darkness before dawn, and it will pass soon."
The witch hunters became very excited when they heard the word "court". The witch hunters in the Orb Provincial Court are all high-level witch hunters with strong strength, and there are many records of hunting 5th and even 6th level wizards.
Deputy Director Mazu was not as happy as the other witch hunters. He looked at the red bloodshot in Yaden's eyes and understood that the director was holding on. Sure enough, he immediately heard the arrangement of Director Yaden, which confirmed his guess.
"Mazu! Send someone to investigate immediately! Investigate those who spread rumors! Who is spreading the false news that I will become the new speaker? If you find those people, no matter who they are, whether they are the managers of some company or the bold councillors, throw them into the dungeon of the Judiciary!" Yaden said viciously: "I can't deal with the furnace, but can't I deal with them?"
Mazu went to do it immediately. He could indeed deal with them, and it was easy.
After sitting down again, Yaden opened the drawer and read the reply from the County Council again. Every time he read Mr. Obed's handwritten letter, Yaden would gain a little courage and see a little light in the terrifying threat of the furnace.
He also wanted to escape, but he was afraid that once he left Fabro City, he would be sniped by the furnace. Ivy, the manager of Thor Trading Company, analyzed for him that the furnace was from Fabro City and he had never destroyed Fabro City on a large scale. Now staying in Fabro City must be much safer than going on the road rashly.
Arden muttered in his heart, Speaker Obed... Speaker Obed, please come quickly, I'm almost scared to death...
The last time I saw Obed was on the night of the sacrifice in Fabro City a year and a half ago.
That night, Obed was still the deputy speaker of the county council. Everything in Fabro City was finalized by the former speaker Quint and Deputy Speaker Obed. Fabro City was also the greatest political achievement of Deputy Speaker Obed.
That night, the Alchemy Council and the Evil God Cult divided up the people in the Dordo District. The Alchemy Council obtained blood servant workers, and the Evil God Cult obtained believers.
That night, Deputy Speaker Claude died in the hands of Abel. With this move of killing relatives for the sake of justice, Abel showed that he was desperate for the interests of alchemists and made him the official speaker.
That night, the real furnace was born. The Trial Office later analyzed that the furnace was completely out of control after that night, bloodthirsty, and killed countless people.
However, victory belongs to the alchemists. Obed won everything. The biggest political achievement for him to become the chairman of the county council was the successful experiment and promotion of the wilderness development model of Fabro City.
The two cities around Fabro City, which also border the wilderness, have learned from Fabro City to develop the mining areas in the wilderness. Because of this development model, the production capacity of Vichy County has been greatly enhanced, allowing the wealth of Vichy County to accumulate rapidly.
He has heard a rumor within the Judgment Bureau system that Speaker Obed is expected to run for the senator of Orb Province after the end of this term, represent Orb Province to the capital, and become a distinguished senator of the upper house.
This shows the importance of the model reform brought by Fabro City to the Carolingian Alchemy Council. This is also one of the confidence of Arden now. Others will give up Fabro City, but Speaker Obed will never. Fabro City is a business card, a business card for Speaker Obed to step onto a higher stage.
When the airship of the Judgment Hall floated over Fabro City, all the members felt a rare sense of peace. The Alchemical Parliament, a huge machine, finally came to Fabro City to eradicate the cancer.
The airship of the Court of Justice landed on the square of the Parliament, and the savior of Fabro City walked down the gangway of the airship.
The Speaker of the County Council, Obed, with his hair combed back smoothly and waxed, walked down the gangway with a smile on his face.
He first shook hands with Colonel Gayton who was standing in the front: "Colonel Gayton, you have worked hard, thank you for representing the Constitutional Army and supporting the work of the Parliament!"
Without Colonel Gayton, the Alchemical Parliament of Fabro City would definitely be shut down. Gayton finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was not good at local security. These jobs were too unfamiliar. The Court of Justice and the Police Station did not dare to go out at all, so Gayton had to send his own soldiers to maintain the basic order of Fabro City.
Colonel Guyton said, "This is what I should do, and it is also what the 56th Regiment should do. Unfortunately, our configuration is not suitable for arresting wizards with strange abilities."
Obed turned around and introduced the person behind him, a middle-aged fat man with a round hat and a pipe in his mouth: "Colonel Guyton, this is the deputy director of the Provincial Court of Justice, and the most senior witch hunter in Orb Province, Deputy Director Yevgeny."
Guyton took the initiative to extend his hand and shake hands with Yevgeny.
The director of the Court of Justice may be a professional bureaucrat, but the deputy director is different. Most of the deputy directors are witch hunters with outstanding abilities. Especially the witch hunter in front of him, Guyton has heard of his name, "Detective" Yevgeny, who deserves the respect of others.
Yevgeny put his pipe in his mouth before shaking hands with Colonel Guyton.
Being held by Yevgeny's fat hands, Guyton couldn't imagine how such a pair of fat hands could make so many wizards stay away from Orb City.
Of course, for the apostles, appearance is not important. Yevgeny is more famous for his identity as a Word Spirit, the only Level 5 Word Spirit in Orb Province, Detective Yevgeny.
Director Arden took a few steps forward, came to Obed with a flattering smile, and wanted to say something.
Obed had seen many people's flattering smiles, but he felt that Director Arden was still too reserved, his smile was not natural enough, and was a little stiff.
"Arden, I have seen you before. During the last sacrificial night, you were the Director of the Judgment Department."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Speaker, you have a good memory."
Arden was very happy that the big man actually remembered him, but the next words made Arden feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
"Arden, get ready, you will be the Speaker of the Alchemy Council of Fabro City."
"What? Mr. Speaker, I definitely don't have this ability!" Arden felt that hesitating for a second would delay his life.
"Oh?" Obed felt very strange, there are still people who don't want to be the Speaker?
"Then tell me, what kind of ability is required to be the speaker? Level 5 alchemist? The county council will provide you with resources, arrange papers for you, and help you get promoted."
"No, no, no! Mr. Speaker, it's not about promotion, but..." Arden hesitated and said, "Being the speaker requires a tough life."
Obed read the intelligence carefully and knew that Arden was talking about the threat left by the furnace. He didn't say anything more, but arranged: "Director Arden, convene the Fabro city councilors and hold a special meeting. Let's work together to get Fabro City back on track as soon as possible." "Okay! Mr. Speaker, I'll do it right away!"
In fact, it didn't take long to notify the members, because all the members gathered in the parliament, waiting for the support of the county council.
While waiting for the meeting to start, Obed took the initiative to come to Viscount Savan and had a cordial conversation with the Viscount. Viscount Savan's face was full of gratitude to Obed.
After Obed entered the council hall, Viscount Savan said to Jennifer beside him with an unpleasant face: "Why is the county speaker here in person? There are more than a dozen cities in a county. Doesn't he have something to do? Why does he come to deal with the affairs of Fabro City?"
Viscount Savan thought that the county would send a deputy speaker, just like the night of the sacrifice, but what he didn't expect was that Obed himself came with people from the Provincial Court of Justice. It seems that Abel's death has a very bad impact and caused a headache for the county council.
After entering the council hall together, Obed walked to the rostrum and sat on the rostrum where Speaker Abel used to be.
"I heard someone was so arrogant that he said that Fabro City does not allow a speaker. I, Obed, am the speaker. I am here to see what that criminal can do."
The brief speech caused the councillors to pause for a moment, and then all the councillors stood up excitedly and clapped their hands.
Now the pressure was on the furnace. I wonder if the furnace felt like it was slapped.
Obed smiled and folded his hands on the table: "Before the meeting begins, please look around."
The councillors looked around, and Obed patiently waited for them to release their anxiety.
"I think you have also seen that the number of councillors in the entire council hall has decreased a lot.
They have many reasons to leave here, some are sick and go to the county city of Vichy for medical treatment, some have to go to the neighboring city to solve the business difficulties, their fathers and mothers are in the hospital, and so on.
We understand those councillors who left because it is their freedom. The Alchemy Council respects the freedom of every alchemist, but we all know the real reason, don't we?"
Obed pointed to the high wall at the back:
"Because a wizard cast some ridiculous words on the wall at the back. The wizard actually claimed that the speaker is not allowed in Fabro City.
Now I am here, I am the speaker, the speaker of the Vichy County Alchemy Council. I want to see what the wizard is going to do."
The council hall fell into carnival again, and the councillors cheered for the courage of Speaker Obed.
Obed continued:
"We must work for the common interests of alchemists. We are fighting for a great cause. When doing any work, do not be afraid of difficulties, do not be afraid of other people's obstruction, do not be afraid of other people's jealousy, and do not be afraid of other people's revenge.
I admit that the wizard, the wizard named Furnace, caused us a lot of trouble. For this reason, several speakers and vice speakers of Fabro City were killed one after another. However, please believe that our cause will not stagnate because of these difficulties.
Our neighboring country, the Kingdom of Elba, fell into civil war, and the Elba royal family tore up their constitutional movement . Later, they signed an armistice agreement with the Alchemy Council in an attempt to overthrow the Elba Alchemy Council.
This is not a blow to the Elba Alchemy Council, but a blow to all alchemists!
In order to protect the interests of alchemists, we in Fabro City are fighting on the front line. 80% or even more of the minerals produced in Fabro City are sent to the Elba Alchemy Council.
We are not simply producing and selling minerals, but supporting the great cause of alchemists! The achievements made by Fabro City must not be allowed to be destroyed in the hands of some individual conspirators! "
Obeid stood up and shouted passionately:
"This is not the career of one of us, it is the career of all alchemists!
The Carolingian Alchemy Council! We will fight the Elba royal family until the last Elba person dies!"
This sentence is a bit confusing. The Carolingian Alchemy Council will deal with the Elba royal family, but it is the Elba people who will die. This is a good deal, a sure win deal. It can not only make money by selling mines to the Elba Alchemy Council, but also strike the noble knights. It is a win-win situation. The Carolingian Alchemy Council wins and wins.
Jennifer was sitting in the audience seat and was shocked by Obed's shamelessness. Isn't it a bit too much to say it so nakedly?
It seems that the furnace has dealt a heavy blow to the Fabro City Alchemy Council, forcing Obed to tell the truth and boost the morale of the councilors.
However, those alchemists don't think there is anything shameless about these words. They are extremely excited. It turns out that this is the meaning of their hard work. What
Viscount Savan heard was that the Carolingian Alchemy Council would fight the knights until the last Elba person.
Striking the Elba royal family is also a blow to the morale of the knights. If the Elba royal family succeeds in restoring, it will be terrible. Wouldn't the Carolingian royal family also be ready to move?
Amid the thunderous applause, Viscount Savan's face turned pale. He wanted to tell Count Barron exactly what Obed said.
Speaker Obed was a hawk among alchemists because of his outstanding achievements. He was very high-profile and flamboyant. He was very popular among alchemists, and of course, he was also very disgusted by knights.
Nowadays, alchemists are increasingly looking down on knights. Not only do they not allow knights to invest in various profitable factories, but they also squeeze the knights' land. Now they don't even want the most basic face-saving projects.
"We can leave the matter of witch hunting to professional witch hunters." Obed pointed in the direction of the witch hunters in the Court of Inquisition:
"Next, let me introduce a heavyweight witch hunter!
Yevgeny! Deputy Director of the Provincial Court of Inquisition! The most experienced witch hunter in Orb Province! With him here, I think even the most dangerous wizards will soon be put to the stake!"
Yevgeny stood up and saluted the members in the Council Chamber.
Yevgeny is a celebrity in Orb Province, especially in the police system and the Court of Inquisition system. His appearance has made the sense of security of the members of the council feel more secure.
The Court of Inquisition is a huge system. The city and county levels are the Court of Inquisition, the province and the region are the Court of Inquisition, and the capital is the Court of Inquisition. The Court of Inquisition is definitely not something that a level 5 wizard can challenge.
After the applause of the other members, Obed pointed to another person, a druid:
"Revenge for Speaker Abel and Vice Speaker Jem. This is necessary. After the revenge, we also have more important work.
Next, please let the beautiful druid Gobelly explain her excellent insights!"
The members were very confused. Wasn't it about the furnace and the Elba Alchemy Council? What does it have to do with the druids?
But looking at the expression of Speaker Obed, it seemed that what the druid wanted to say was what he cared more about.
