Keith said slowly, "Hands up in favor of killing the Chimera!"
As soon as Keith finished speaking, the second elder, Dobin, raised his hand high. The third elder, Luvina, and the fifth elder, Lei Sen, also raised their hands after hesitation. Based on this calculation, only three elders agreed to kill the Chimera. personal.
Dobin frowned. Unexpectedly, when the elders came to Huxin Island and his party, they still opposed it under such a severe situation.
The Seventh Elder, the Eighth Elder, and the Ninth Elder basically don’t need to be counted on. They are all Keith’s people, and only Keith follows his lead. Dobbin was a little disappointed that he hadn't seen the situation clearly yet.
Elder Keith smiled, "Now, if you oppose killing the Chimera, raise your hand after finding out the facts!" After speaking, he raised his hand high.
The Seventh Elder Ratcliffe, the Eighth Elder Tompkin, and the Ninth Elder Waldron raised their hands at the same time.
Keith smiled confidently, and looked at Fourth Elder Florinda and Sixth Elder Silver, "What are the opinions of the two elders?"
"I abstain!"
"I abstain!"
Florinda and Silver looked at each other and whispered.
Keith sat down slowly, with a flawless look, smiled and said, "Four to three, two abstentions, it seems that this vote is still not passed, Elder Dobin, I'm afraid we have to continue to investigate Just figure out the root cause of the matter!"
Dobin lowered his face, and looked at the Fourth Elder Ferolinda and the Sixth Elder Silver with serious eyes, "The high priest has already said that if this continues, she will not be able to maintain the power of the seal sooner or later. La broke through the seal and caused losses to the elves like last time, I hope the elders can consider these conditions carefully!"
Florinda and Silver glanced at each other, but they still didn't respond to Elder Dobin's words, which made Dobin very disappointed.
At this time, the elf queen who had been silent all this time said, "It's a serious matter. The crisis happened last time has caused great damage to the elf villages around the island in the center of the lake. Many of our brave elf warriors sacrificed their lives for it." , As the empress, I feel very sad. I hope that when the elders make a decision, they will give more consideration to the safety of the elves and the sacrificed soldiers... "
Elena, the elf queen who has always been silent and never expressed much opinion, suddenly spoke out, which greatly shocked Ferolinda and Silver. There is no doubt that what she said was for them. Her The position is naturally to support Elder Dobin and kill Chimera.
"Her Majesty..."
Elder Dobin turned around in surprise, with a glimmer of joy in his eyes.
Although the Elf Queen is not a member of the Presbyterian Church and has no actual power, her words represent the highest imperial power and are very important.
Unexpectedly, Keith, who was full of confidence, suddenly changed his expression and became a little ugly. As expected, the thing he was most worried about finally happened.
Fourth Elder Ferolinda hesitated for a while, and finally raised her hand tremblingly, "I... I support the decision to kill Chimera!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the audience was silent. First Elder Keith, Seventh Elder Ratcliffe, Eighth Elder Tompkin, and Ninth Elder Waldron all had very ugly faces, especially First Elder Keith, he couldn't think of Florinda It will turn against the water at critical moments.
"This little bitch, took my things and betrayed me?" Keith's face was very gloomy. In order to win over Florinda, he tried his best to get a bottle of "Eternal Youth Potion" from the plane store. After drinking it, she can maintain a forever young appearance, and the magic potion that can restore youth even after Ronghua grows old was given to her.
This thing is not cheap, a small bottle of medicine actually costs 3 black crystal coins.
Keith's request was not high, and he just hoped that Ferolinda would support him in this matter, but it was a pity that the success fell short in the end.
Florinda didn't dare to look at Keith, but her hands were held upright all the time.
Keith was cursing secretly in his heart. Besides scolding Ferolinda, he also scolded the Elf Queen. For some reason, the always silent Elf Queen stepped in.
Although he was extremely upset, Keith didn't show it at all. Hexi had a smile on his face, "Didn't Elder Florinda just say that he abstained? Why did he backtrack?"
Florinda was a little embarrassed, she was a little afraid to face Keith.
As the saying goes, people are soft-mouthed and short-handed, which is probably what she is doing now. From the bottom of her heart, she actually supports the killing of Chimera.
Dobbin was both surprised and delighted. After Keith's "tune-up" during this period of time, he also came back and got some so-called political skills. Although he was beaten by Keith in the Presbyterian Church In the same way, he is learning and making progress.
Dobbins thought he should jump out by now.
"I object!" Elder Dobin stood up and said tit for tat, "I object to the so-called back-and-forth statement of the elder Keith. Before the end of the elder meeting, any position of the elder can be changed after thinking about it. In the final analysis, it is for the elves Clan!"
"That's right, I'm also for the elves!" With Dobin's support, Ferolinda breathed a sigh of relief and gave him a grateful look.
What Elder Dobin said was approved by the third elder Luvina and the fifth elder Lei Sen who supported him. This time, the support and opposition were four to four respectively, and the two sides drew a tie.
Keith smiled, "Hehe, our side is also for the elves, it's just that everyone has different opinions. It's okay to have different opinions, just bring it up!"
As he spoke, he paused, and said to Dobin, "Now there are four votes in favor, four against, and one abstention. Elder Dobin, that resolution still cannot be made!"
Elder Dobin ignored him, turned to Silver and said, "Elder Silver, you know very well what will happen to Chimera after it breaks the seal, and I hope you will show an attitude, yes, at the elder meeting , although you have the right to abstain from voting, I have to remind you that it is extremely irresponsible to abstain on such a big matter!"
Dobbins pursued the victory and caught Keith's group by surprise. The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense, the air was full of chilling smell, and the room was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop. Everyone held their breaths. , quietly staring at Silver's attitude.
Silver was suddenly caught in a dilemma. Like Ferolinda, he had also received things from Elder Keith, and Dobbin was also pushing forward step by step. If he insisted on abstaining, it would be a big change Become an irresponsible person.
From the bottom of his heart, Silver supports the killing of Chimera. Chimera used to be the protector of the elves, and no matter what, he lived in peace. It has become a time bomb, ready to explode at any time, such a monster, why keep it? Fortunately, the High Priest Wendini has this ability, just kill it directly.
Silver had participated in the first Chimera battle, and he had lingering fears about the strength of the Chimera domain.
Silver also didn't understand why Keith was thinking about leaving Chimera's life like playing with fire, but he accepted a necklace from Keith, which made him embarrassed.
It was an unusual necklace, which came from a plane store and was very valuable.
Now it was four to four, and there was only one vote away from both sides. The focus of the victory and defeat was suddenly focused on him, which put him under tremendous pressure, and he was almost out of breath.
Finally, Silver's conscience finally defeated greed, and he moved his hand, wanting to raise it.
Keith has been paying attention to the changes on Silver's face nervously. Seeing Silver's hand move, he knew something was wrong. He stood up abruptly, "It seems that Elder Silver hasn't thought it through yet. It just so happens that I have Some things have not been thought out and perfected, how about it, the elders meeting will be postponed to tomorrow, and then the vote will be made, that's it, the meeting will be adjourned!"
After Keith finished speaking, he ignored everyone and strode away in a hurry. He didn't give Dobbin a chance to speak.
After Keith got up, Ratcliffe, Tompkin, and Waldron also left quickly.
Silver breathed a sigh of relief, all the pressure was on him just now, making him breathless, at this moment, cold sweat has soaked through his clothes.
Dobbin was also disappointed. He could clearly see that Silver had changed his mind, but Keith, a rogue, actually exercised the power of the chief elder to postpone the meeting, which made him a little helpless.
Dobin was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "Good guy, let me let you go today, and see how you explain to us tomorrow!"
Keith walked with a terribly gloomy face. At this moment, he made repeated miscalculations at the elders meeting, which made him unexpected, and he felt that the layout had failed.
The most important thing is one person, the elf queen, it was her words that reversed the whole situation. Dobin got her support, excited like a chicken, and bit him like a mad dog.
"Master Keith!" A voice rang in his ears, but it was the seventh elder Racliffe, the eighth elder Tompkin, and the ninth elder Waldron rushed out.
Ratcliffe's face was full of hatred, and he spat fiercely, "Damn it, Dobbin, this old fellow, has actually learned to fight against us!"
"That's right, especially Florinda and Silver, didn't they take advantage of us? They turned their backs at the meeting?" Tompkin said indignantly.
Keith smiled lightly, "There's nothing strange about it, they're not our people, and they'll never be reliable!"
"Master Keith, these two guys will ruin our event, how about..." Waldron's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he made a sharp movement.
"Yes, kill them!" said Ratcliffe and Tompkin. Betrayers are always infuriating. When Waldron said it, they agreed.
"No way!" Keith thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't like to use fists to achieve my goal through politics. Besides, now is not the time to do it. Even if I want to kill them, the first target is not them!"
While speaking, Elder Dobbin's face flashed in Keith's eyes. This time at the elder meeting, Dobbin stepped directly onto the stage, and with the support of the elf queen, he openly challenged him, which made him lose face.
Using the power of the Great Elder to forcibly end the Council of Elders, Keith himself felt a bit rascal, but he couldn't do anything about it, the matter was beyond his control, and it would be useless to say anything after the voting results came out.
"Master Keith, what should we do now?" Waldron said a little worriedly, "The elders meeting will be held tomorrow. By then... the death of Chimera will have a great impact on our plans!"
"Hmph!" Keith's eyes became serious, and he said with a sneer, "It's not that simple, the elders meeting will be held tomorrow, we still have a chance!"
Keith grinned grinningly, leaving Chimera's life naturally had his plan, and a terrifying conspiracy was slowly forming.
