Doom Knight System

Chapter 367 Candidates

Because of Lancelot's late arrival, the election that was supposed to be held was forced to be postponed. This decision was in line with the wishes of the vast majority of people, and it also gave more people time to make arrangements.

The atmosphere in the inner city began to become a little weird, similar to the Hell's Gate incident not long ago, but this did not affect the social interaction among the nobles, and the frequency of dances and dinners was much more intensive than before.

After experiencing that turmoil, the Lavis space prospered again in a special way. Airships kept entering and leaving the space, and the idle manor owners returned again.

The deformed economic stimulus has allowed civilians and servants to have jobs, and the order on the streets has also improved.

The Bauhinia Manor was brightly lit, and two tall and burly mechas were docked in the yard. Their scarlet eyes proved that these killing machines were always in a state of activation, and every passing guest would cast a look of awe or envy.

Lancelot was sitting on the soft-covered sofa, his whole body was almost completely sunken in, holding a transparent tall crystal glass in his hand, the blood-red wine glowed with an intoxicating halo under the light .

The dance in the hall was over, and the guests dispersed one after another. In the end, there were only a dozen or so nobles standing there anxiously. Even the food and spirits in their hands could not calm them down.

Facing the young but powerful nobleman Lancelot, these high-ranking nobles with empty titles but no real power can only succumb. Sometimes, the superimposed effect of power and wealth is enough to ignore the world's most formidable nobleman. grade.

Even a Marquis could only sit obediently halfway in the chair in front of Lancelot, with his back straight, not daring to act presumptuously at all, just as respectful as a student who just entered elementary school.

Yabo, the master inventor, looks uneasy. As a master inventor, he has come to the end of scientific inventions. It is not easy to transform his status into rights. If he wants to integrate into the real circle, he must have a strong enough backing.

Lancelot tapped the table with his right hand, and said slowly: "Mr. Yabo, the road ahead is bumpy. I hope you don't regret today's decision."

"Thank you, Earl Lancelot for giving me this opportunity. My talent has already determined that I will not be able to develop much in the future." Yabo whispered with a flattering smile on his face.

At this time, Yabo has begun to evolve into a qualified politician, and the once simple and dull inventor has slowly become a thing of the past.

Lancelot smiled, his eyes sparkled, and he clapped his hands after a while, and said, "The purpose of asking everyone to stay today is very simple, to discuss our future."

A dozen or so guests looked at each other in blank dismay, but immediately became excited. The value of these people is only a seat in the noble council. I heard before that Lancelot is planning to run for the speaker. If he really succeeds, they will definitely benefit a lot. will laugh.

The maids came out in a file, holding a cup of light green tea in their hands. Immediately, there was a fragrance in the air, which made people wake up involuntarily.

But it's a pity that, apart from the oriental immigrants and Lancelot, no one in the city of Sanctuary likes to drink these top-quality green teas. After all, it has been a habit for thousands of years that the nobles drink black tea with milk. Or sugar cubes to enter.

There was an awkward smile on the faces of the guests. Although it smelled good, the bitterness after the entrance made them feel bad. Even if they didn't like it, they had to praise it loudly in front of Lancelot. .

Some who couldn't bear it took a sip and then put it down, and most of the rest of them bit the bullet and swallowed it like medicine.

The maids quickly refilled the cups again. Looking at all the guests with earthy faces, Lancelot smiled and said, "This tea from the East has magical powers, which can relieve people from the anesthesia of alcohol and clear their minds." Get up. Of course, if you are really not used to drinking, I will serve you some more coffee."

Everyone just listened to this kind of polite words. After all, you can't be rude in the host's house, so the noble guests praised it with enthusiasm that is rare in their lives, and then bit the bullet and drank it again.

Maybe tea really has a special magical power. After drinking two cups of strong tea, everyone's eyes gradually cleared up, which can ensure that the next conversation can proceed normally.

After a few simple words, Lancelot said in a deep voice: "Maybe you know that I'm going to run for speaker, but things have changed a bit now. In addition to speaker Ansto's participation, there is also the nephew of Her Majesty the Queen. Agriculture Secretary Barron is also up for election, leaving a few irrelevant candidates."

"But. The votes for the two of them are obviously not enough. You have one-third of the votes, my lord. There is no reason to worry?" a nobleman asked suspiciously.

"I have received news that all votes will be concentrated on Ansdor and Barron, and traitors have emerged within us, so the outcome is uncertain. Most importantly, Her Royal Highness does not seem to want me to Successful campaign." Lancelot said slowly.

Almost all the nobles stood up, and the name of Her Royal Highness was like a sharp sword hanging in the hearts of everyone. Even if they were not here, they still possessed shocking power.

There was a trace of disdain in Lancelot's eyes, and he said slowly: "Are you surprised? The cake of power is so big. I eat more, and some people eat less. Don't forget who brought you out of the quagmire." Those debts are still in the Lancelot family, relying on your strength, I am afraid that you will never be able to pay them back, and those who want to betray can leave now."

After hearing this sentence, the guests were first angry, and then followed by deep fear.

"Very good! It seems that everyone is a smart person. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance in the future. If someone delays your future plans, it can't be solved just by paying off the debt." Lancelot said, his fingers rhythmic The ground was beating on the sofa, every time it seemed to be beating on people's hearts.

At the peak of Baiyin, a powerful aura that was almost legendary surged out. In the eyes of the guests, it seemed that a huge wave was ushered in. The whole person seemed to be crushed by a boulder on the chest, and even breathing became a little difficult.

In their eyes, what Lancelow is doing now is no different from digging the corners of the Ingray royal family. Perhaps one day, the Ingray royal family will be hollowed out and collapse.
