Two hundred and eighty-two confrontation (two consecutive requests for recommended tickets)
(Although I don’t know how many votes there will be, but the recommended votes on Monday are too important, the skeleton still has to be pulled, and the brothers and sisters who are still there support it)
But no matter what, Salaman, who was then the consul at the time, played very beautifully.
In the end it was over. Of course, it is customary for the consul Salaman to be included in a book by the people-friendly officials, saying that he violated the decrees of the empire, and it is illegal to kill first and then file. At that time, Sakuding's consul title was revoked, but then he was promoted from viscount to earl, hereditary.
From this, we can see the attitude of the upper echelons of the empire.
Now, the retired old earl suddenly came to Jerusalem, and it was obvious that he was here for Baron Lance, which made people speculate.
The originally peaceful Jerusalem city was once again tense.
"Lord Count, you come in person, please forgive me for the loss, I don't know..."
"Consul Sarah, you have done a good job." In the office hall, the gray-haired old earl of the Tago tribe sneered. Although he has not been in political office for many years, he is standing here, full of anger and self-esteem. The momentum of the pressure made the consul Sara feel breathless.
This is not an illusion, but the aura developed by Count Salaman when he faced off against the mighty Land of Winds at the border of the Empire, a shrewd and spicy temperament of a veteran on the battlefield. The Ebony City in the northern border of the empire is actually a semi-military structure, and all who can secure the position of consulship there are seized by the political and military, far from being as comfortable as these cities in the interior of the empire.
"Lord Count, what are you referring to?" Sara had a sincere expression on the surface, but her mind quickly revolved: Even if it is a mission sent by the Governor, it only has the responsibility of inspection but has no right to interfere. His tone is not right. , what is mastered
"Hmph, don't be sloppy, you didn't know where to get milk when I was a consul." Salaman touched his beard, his serious face suddenly relaxed, he laughed, and patted his face with blue and white. The consul Sara said: "Just kidding, I believe it will not be surprising with the mind of the consul Sara."
Seems like it's true but it's false, people have no place to send fire, what else can they say
Sara could only laugh dryly, feeling that the old earl was not well-intentioned.
"How long is Earl Salaman going to stay in Yelusamo this time?" This was a little test from Sarah. It was inconvenient to directly ask the other party's intentions, but he could see some things by taking a side-by-side look at the time he spent there.
"It depends on whether things go smoothly or not. If it is fast, it will take a few days, if it is slow, it will take a long time." Count Salaman gave Sarah a meaningful look: "I just sent someone to inform the temple and the city. All the families and guild presidents, let's have a town hall meeting later."
Town hall meeting
Sara's eyelids twitched. Sara also felt that Arthur's skill was an art of power struggle, but his own fate was also a problem, but he believed that the temple side would find a way, and he was also following the news himself, after all Staying in Jerusalem was a great help to the temple, but the sudden arrival of Count Salaman broke the whole plan.
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you." Salaman narrowed his yellow pupils and raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an unpredictable smile.
"I am here this time, in addition to the appointment of the Governor-General's mission, I also bear the appointment of the Grand Consul, ordering me to inspect the various places for the Empire's wind watcher."
wind watcher
Rao was Sarah's concentration and scheming, and she was in a bad mood for a while.
Guanfeng Envoys, there have only been two people in the empire in the past 100 years. They are all strong-armed figures who influence the direction of the empire. Guanfeng Envoys themselves do not have great power. There are two most terrible places - the wind watcher has a special communication to report directly to the grand consul, and the second is to have the power to "kill first and then file" the personnel of the city-level consul.
In other words, if he doesn't like Sarah, he can completely remove Sarah as the consul. Of course, this revocation is also temporary, and it must be reported to the imperial consul after the event, and a final decision will be made.
However, this kind of thing, even if the competent officer is reinstated after the event, no one can stand it if he does this at a critical moment. Moreover, it is also possible that the chief consul would sell his face and withdraw, and there would be nowhere to cry.
Of course, people who can become watchers are not ordinary guys, and such people will not abuse their power. But just having that deterrent is scary.
Explain what? It shows that the Archon attaches great importance to the matter of Jerusalem, and shows that the Archon is very sensitive to the temple.
In case... he wants to do something to himself, the temple will not be able to use it, and Sarah suddenly feels a little short of breath.
While Sarah was thinking about her thoughts, Salaman was also watching him quietly, and Huang Chengcheng's tiger eyes flashed a shrewd cold light from time to time.
The town hall meeting was held again in an emergency, but this is not surprising. After all, in addition to the regular meeting every month, the town hall of each city will also be held from time to time to discuss some major resolutions, the division of interests, and the urgent needs of the upper echelons of the empire. Orders, or personnel appointments and removals, etc.
But there are few emergency meetings. After all, they are big figures in the same city. This time is obviously more special. When the guild presidents of Jerusalem, family representatives, and temple priests walked into the council hall, they saw at a glance that today Sitting in the top position is no longer the Archon Sara, but an old man of the Tago tribe who has never been seen before.
With gray hair and a pair of pupils that shone with deep light, it was as if one could see through the secrets of the heart.
He sat in the first place with a calm and extraordinary aura.
The consul Sara respectfully accompanies the old man to his left.
"This is… "
Some sensitive people guessed something vaguely, while more people looked blank. The news about the arrival of the Governor-General's delegation is only known to a few people from the temple and the consuls. Even if they do, they can't guess who has the power to drive the consul to the side and sit in the first place.
Although the town hall meeting is loose, it is not easy to sit around. Each person's position represents the corresponding status and power.
Classmate Zou chatted with Thomas in a low voice. As soon as he entered the political hall, he felt that the atmosphere was very different today, especially the old man sitting in the first place, who had been staring at him since he entered the door.
"That's..." Thomas was slightly startled. "That's Earl Salaman. I saw him once in the imperial capital. How did he come?"
count
Zou Liang thought about the weight of the word C. If it was just a title, it shouldn't pose too much threat to himself. However, if the Governor can send this person down, I am afraid that the visitor is not good.
The factions or small groups in the council hall inevitably began to chat in low voices, full of speculations about the unknown situation.
There was a resurgence of anticipation in Stanford's eyes, and the Governor was his last hope.
"Be quiet."
Under the signal of Earl Salaman, the consul Sara had to stand up and say: "Today's meeting will be presided over by the watcher from the imperial capital, Earl Salaman, please maintain etiquette and respect." After saying, a few simple words The words explained the background of Salaman's past deeds.
The scene was silent for a moment, and then a humming sound suddenly broke out. With so many forces and families present, many who have heard of Salaman's deeds were suddenly greatly impacted.
The sudden appearance of a heroic figure who has been dormant for more than ten years is a matter of speculation, not to mention that in such a sensitive period, the power of watching the wind suddenly intervenes in the Jerusalem pattern that has finally calmed down.
However, this out-of-control discussion did not last long, and gradually subsided after a few breaths. Recognizing the personal identity of the leader, everyone suddenly became more respectful and serious. Many people still worshiped Salaman. For example, Sam Anton of the Engraving Master Guild had the urge to go to the border of the empire. field. Of course, this wish failed to materialize.
"Okay, everyone knows me." Earl Salaman glanced at everyone present with a smile.
"This time I received an appointment from the imperial capital and the governor, which really frightened me. However, as a person, as long as it is promised, I will provoke it with one shoulder."
His words changed, and his sharp eyes suddenly fell on Arthur.
"So, now for the first question of this meeting - Priest Arthur, I received a complaint that you insulted and beat Baron Lance, is this true?"
A random question, but the tone was murderous, and the temperature of the entire council hall dropped to freezing point in an instant, and the swish cold wind blew behind everyone's necks.
cold or cold
Everyone remembered in a trance that the uncle in front of him was the ruthless man who cut down 500 slave warriors with a single order and piled his heads into Jingguan. That's called a decisive killing
Priest Arthur is probably going to have bad luck.
Countless guesses and suspicious eyes passed information back and forth, winking. Those who chose to support Arthur's side, such as Randy's family, were secretly anxious.
Guild leaders such as Sam Anton who choose neutral are at ease, and any form of combat is not a bad thing for them.
As for the likes of Reynolds and Stanford of the Archers Guild, they almost cheered in their hearts. During this time, they were sitting on pins and needles, thinking that the end was coming. Now, the Governor's trump card has come out, and Lance is just standing in front.
The silence in the council hall was palpable, and facing the cold gaze of the new wind watcher, Arthur stood up slowly.
It seems that today's events cannot be peacefully passed, and we have to find a way. No one thought that the Governor was ruthless enough to send such a person down.
Beside Arthur, Thomas' brows moved slightly, his eyes swept over his beloved disciple, and then he cast his eyes on Earl Salaman across the long conference table.
The atmosphere is solemn and subtle.
Everyone waited to see how the hot young priest in Jerusalem passed the stage of watching the wind.
If he can withstand it, then of course he will be more optimistic about his future, and there will be many people who will follow Arthur with all his heart. If it doesn't work... Then the situation that Jerusalem has finally created will collapse completely.
After all, everyone is taking risks. If you want everyone to follow you, you must first show your strength. The strength to stand firm under any pressure. A
