Crant Hahn's sudden revelation caused an uproar among some of the nobles in the audience. Some big nobles could probably see the absurdity of Crant Hahn's words, but most noble families may not be interested in Crant Hahn because of their vision and intelligence issues. Believe your words to be true.
Under this situation, there was actually no need to convince all the nobles to believe what Crant said. What he wanted was just a short shock, so that some nobles would consider voting for their family after a brief surprise.
Crant didn't care about the seats in the Senate. After all, he knew very well about the predetermined quota.
As a businessman, he used this re-election meeting as a stage to showcase his family and the Golden Rain Merchant Alliance.
This is his purpose to build the reputation of his family alliance and attract more investors to strengthen his family's voice.
As for using Wang Yu’s name? This has been planned for a long time. Although Wang Yu did not agree to form an alliance last time, he visited Wang Yu's house to tell the truth. As for what he did, no outsiders knew, so what he said at this moment was not arbitrary.
As for the problems that may arise from this kind of use of Wang Yu, he is not worried. He is very sure that Wang Yu can't do anything to him. This is the royal city. If you stay here, you need to abide by the laws of the kingdom. Wang Yu has no background. , he is just a formal knight with some status.
The high knight-level black smoke humanoid that killed the nobles last time required a threshold of strength, and even though it was so powerful, Shugein Smoak of Night Blade seized the opportunity to cut off one of his arms. , not everyone can repeat the deeds of killing nobles.
Wang Yu's own hard power is not strong enough, and he cannot have influence on other levels without background. It is impossible to threaten the Hahn family and the Golden Rain Merchant Alliance.
But Krant doesn't mind giving Wang Yu some benefits. I hope Wang Yu can recognize the facts early and stop doing irrational things.
Krant Hahn looked at Wang Yu, who had no reaction, with a faint smile on his lips.
Wang Yu's reaction made him very satisfied. He did not stand up and immediately announced that he was not cooperating with Krant, nor did he show an angry expression.
He seems to be a very sensible guy, and he should have already figured out how to deal with his relationship with them.
Crant waited for some of the nobles below to finish the discussion, bowed, asked the nobles present to vote for their family, and then stepped down.
Then came the voting process. It was a very simple method. Representatives of the royal family picked up the coat of arms representing the noble families in order in front, and the nobles below voted by a show of hands. This seemingly simple method is actually effective and has been used for a long time.
He raised his coat of arms again and again, and someone below raised his hand again and again. The votes of the nobles were not many, because their seats were basically determined and there was no need to vote again. Wang Yu naturally voted for Ryder. family.
Voting for the great nobles is basically equivalent to expressing an attitude that they do not intend to form an alliance and not participate in this "noble social gathering".
The subsequent voting became more diverse. The nobles cast their votes based on who they wanted to form an alliance with. Afterwards, the meeting would set aside time for the nobles who planned to form an alliance to discuss the details.
As expected, the Hahn family received a lot of votes. It seems that it is indeed a very attractive condition to cooperate with the Night Blade, an organization that has always been outside the major forces.
Wang Yu was silently thinking about how to deal with this matter. After thinking about it carefully, he really had no good way to deal with this guy Krant.
His own background really means that he has no background. Charles and Edward are friends, and as the next heirs of the family who have not yet succeeded, their real status is not enough.
Sieg, Shugeyin, and the Blade of the Night organization could not provide him with direct backing, but could only provide him with some protection. After all, the Blade of the Night had never participated in the power struggle.
As for Wang Yu himself, his strength is just like that, and his status has stagnated because of the short time and lack of deliberate efforts to strive for it.
"Well, there's really nothing we can do to target it. Let's just be pragmatic and think of ways to get some benefits. It's becoming increasingly unbearable to stay in this royal city. Forget it, wait until Arestle and Seventan are over. War, I am direct
Let's go, whoever wants to play can go and have fun. I'm convinced. "
Wang Yu curled his lips, and the anger gradually disappeared. This guy was a real person. Since he had no way to deal with Krant, he could just go and get some benefits. He was not a partner, so he had to express his feelings.
As for other things, such as seats in the Council of Elders and other messy names for cooperation, Wang Yu doesn't want to worry about it. He is free and doesn't have so many worries. When the war is almost over, Wang Cheng also had enough time and left directly to finish his work.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu's anger completely disappeared. When the time comes, he will tell Qi Ge and others and let them refute the rumor to the Night Blade. There is no need to involve the Night Blade organization in the cooperation of these nobles. .
Looking at Krant who was chatting happily with the people around him, Wang Yu looked indifferent, waiting for the time for these nobles to communicate to end.
Time was almost up, and the nobles completed the deals and alliances they had negotiated, and left the palace either satisfied or with regret and anger.
The same goes for Krant. He has just negotiated a lot of cooperation matters with many nobles. In the future, their families should be able to take advantage of this wave of opportunities to increase their power to a higher level.
He walked out of the auditorium with a smile on his face. His father, the head of the Hahn family of this generation, was waiting for him in the aisle with a smile on his face.
"Well done, this time."
The head of the Hahn family patted his son on the shoulder with a smile. He was very satisfied with his son's performance in this seat re-election. Crant, who was strategic, courageous and eloquent, had already negotiated many cooperations.
"Thank you for the compliment, father. I believe that as long as we, father and son, work together, the Hahn family will become a great noble in the royal city." Krant also talked to his father with a smile.
"Very good, you are ambitious, but don't forget what our Hahn family started. Those things still need time to be buried. Don't worry, my child. After I die, after time buries the past things in the corner of memory. , that is the moment when you truly lead the Hahn family to glory."
Holding his son's shoulders, the words of the head of the Hahn family gently reached Krant's ears.
This shocked Krant. While recalling some of his family's past deeds, he also strengthened his determination to get rid of the shadow of the past.
For this reason, there is no need to be rigid about means or anything like that.
"I understand, father, our family will not always be on the edge of power. As for the past, let it become a thing of the past."
Krant promised firmly, the head of the Hahn family patted Krant on the back with satisfaction, and the two walked out of the palace together.
"Wait a minute, father, I'm going to deal with the member of the Night Blade who I said was cooperating with us."
As soon as Krant walked out of the palace, he saw Wang Yu waiting in the distance with his arms folded. Wang Yu looked towards this side. The target was obviously him, which made Krant plan to confirm Wang Yu. What to do.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
The head of the Hahn family nodded and watched his son walk towards Wang Yu. This could be considered a test. ap.
Taking advantage of the momentum of Night Blade, how to deal with it later also requires ability. Is his son's ability enough to let the Hahn family get out of the cage of the past?
Krant walked towards Wang Yu who was standing there with his arms folded, kept a certain distance from each other, and asked politely, "Your Excellency Wang Yu, you seem to have something to do with me, right?"
"Yes, I think you should give me an explanation?"
Wang Yu's tone was very calm, and the eyes looking at Krant were emotionless, which made Wang Yu's aura a bit aggressive when he said this.
"As partners, we shouldn't need to be so open-minded..." Krant's heart moved slightly. Wang Yu didn't raise a problem in the previous meeting, but now he came to him. He was a little ignorant.
"Yes, so as a partner, should you express your gratitude..."
The words were still indifferent, but Wang Yu stretched out his hand to Krant, with his palm upwards. The meaning in these indifferent words was
The meaning came out immediately.
"That? Of course." Krant was stunned for a moment. As a smooth person, he immediately understood what Wang Yu meant.
I just didn't expect that Wang Yu came to ask for an explanation, which was because he came with bad intentions. In the end, this so-called explanation turned out to be this kind of thing.
This is too simple. It seems that this guy is also a person who understands form. After that, Krant doesn't mind giving Wang Yu some more benefits.
Showing a heartfelt smile, Krant took out a magic crystal card from his pocket and handed it to Wang Yu.
"It's a small thought but not a sign of respect. Please accept these five thousand gold coins, Your Excellency Wang Yu. This is a gift from us to our respected partners. We hope that our cooperation will go further and further."
After giving Wang Yu the courtesy among nobles, Krant smiled with satisfaction. It was a good result to be able to use simple money to make Wang Yu give up pursuing the matter of fraudulently using his cooperation name.
"Yes." Wang Yu also nodded, turned and left.
Krant didn't pay attention to Wang Yu's impolite behavior. He solved something that was a little troublesome before, which made him feel happy.
I didn't expect Wang Yu to be this kind of person. If I had known earlier, there would be no need to prepare other back-ups.
Wang Yu turned around and walked away and touched the magic crystal card in his hand. It was five thousand gold coins, which was considered a huge sum of money even to Wang Yu, who was not so short of money now. New alchemical weapons, more powerful potions, etc. There is room for display.
Wang Yu was not interested in the power struggle between the nobles at all. He looked down upon what they cared about. If he had the ability to deal with this disgusting thing like Krant, Wang Yu would naturally have no problem with it.
But since we don’t have this ability yet, let’s forget it. As a real person, turning these things into tangible benefits is the best choice.
Anyway, Wang Yu doesn't plan to stay in the royal city anymore. He will leave after a while. This world is very big, and it is far more than the human kingdom of Aleister.
His eyes noticed Edward and Charles trotting over in the distance. It seemed that these two friends still cared about what Crant said.
Krant, who was behind Wang Yu, walked towards his father with a smile on his face. Things were going well. As long as he reached an agreement with those new allies, he could...
"Huh?" Krant suddenly found that his walking feet were hanging in the air, and his father's gaze suddenly became horrified and shocked. What's going on?
Before the doubts in his mind were over, severe pain and loss of consciousness occurred at the same moment, which made Krant feel no pain before his death.
A small black vortex appeared in the air behind Krant, and black smoky hands penetrated his body from behind. His heart had disappeared. Before Krant could even react to what happened, he was already dead.
The one-armed black smoke figure stood up from behind the fallen body of Krant and looked at the current head of the Hahn family, Krant's father, who looked at him with horror and shock.
"You... how dare you appear here? The royal family's magic circle is enough to kill you in an instant. What are you going to do?"
Realizing that he was being targeted, the head of the Hahn family was extremely nervous. Faced with this black smoke figure that had killed many nobles, he actually had some thoughts in his mind about what this black smoke figure was doing.
The death of his son did not let his disguised affection hurt him. At this moment, he only felt scared and nervous about the threat to his life.
"Some things will never be forgotten by time..."
The black smoke humanoid spoke for the first time since it appeared in the royal city. It was like a terrible sound coming from a jammed gramophone. The words were full of noisy blind sounds. No one could understand the original voice of the black smoke humanoid.
"Don't you want to live? You're throwing yourself into a trap. You show up here..."
The head of the Hahn family said with a trembling tone, trying to persuade the black smoke humanoid to let him leave here, but before he could finish speaking, the black smoke humanoid with the speed of a great knight had already crossed the short distance at an almost teleporting speed and came to In front of the head of the Hahn family, he grabbed his neck
The boy picked him up.
"It's okay, I don't want to live either, let's die together..." A strange voice with incomprehensible tone sounded, and the black smoke humanoid responded.
All this happened so suddenly that no one had time to react. The black smoke humanoid appeared and killed Krant in the first moment. After saying something, he picked up the head of the Hahn family in the next moment.
The surrounding knights reacted quickly and rushed here at extremely high speeds, but due to the distance, the black smoke humanoid was faster.
Wang Yu only had time to turn around in surprise and saw the head of the Hahn family being picked up.
Edward and Ciel's pupils dilated in shock, and they also looked at the one-armed black smoke figure, but a complicated look suddenly flashed in Ciel's eyes, as if he noticed something.
In Wang Yu's field of vision, the black smoke on the surface of the black smoky figure dispersed, and then the materialized magic circle on the top of the palace suddenly accelerated its rotation, and the huge magic wave like a tidal surge swept across the entire place. The terrifying power, Even people without mage talent can feel it.
The palace's defense system is activated...
"Stop! Stop the magic circle alive!"
"No, when we asked Stevenson Academy of Magic to help build this, our request was to not give any chance to the intruder after identifying it, and to kill the danger instantly. This cannot be stopped."
"Damn it!"
The two magicians in charge of the magic circle in the palace were arguing. The black smoke humanoid revoked the shielding power of his body, allowing himself to be detected by the palace's powerful autonomous protection magic circle. The next outcome was already doomed...
With a bang, the dazzling thick pillar of lightning crashed down from the giant materialized magic circle in the sky, turning the black smoke humanoid and the head of the Hahn family in his hand into complete dust.
