Chapter 1967

At dawn, a dark and gorgeous carriage emerged from the night and drove into the capital. Soon after, it arrived at the Duke of Dimon's mansion and landed on the apron.

Dak walked out of the carriage and asked the long-awaited maid column to move the treasures in the carriage into the mansion, and then went straight to the conference room.

Yalvette, Claire and others had been discussing in the conference room for a long time, and the deployment of the Death Desert had already begun two days ago.

Dak came this time mainly to introduce Mai Ya to them.

Even if Mai Ya's understanding of the Death Desert is excluded, she is a rare talent.

Her ability to control sand and dust stronger than ordinary Sand Clan people, her ability to predict danger and avoid risks in advance, and her talent for divination derived from this are all very outstanding characteristics.

Her biggest problem is not her connection with the Sand Clan, but her age problem, which she herself has already realized.

Her age makes it difficult to develop her potential.

For example, her ability to "foresee danger" can be developed into real "foreknowledge" if it is developed at a young age, and can be applied to real-time combat or real-time strategy.

Similarly, her ability to control sand and dust also means that she has the magic talent of rock and ground. If the magic talent can also be detected, it can be further improved.

Now that she is too old, many things have been finalized. If she wants to develop and cultivate them again, the difficulty will increase a lot, and it may not reach the upper limit.

However, these are things that Mai Ya needs to consider.

There is no shortage of talents in the maid group of the Duke's Mansion.

After Dak introduced Mai Ya to the head maid Jasmine, he sat down at the table and listened.

These nights, he has also communicated with the Duke's Mansion and has some understanding of the deployment in the mansion.

Regarding the matter of the Death Desert, they first blocked the news and spread rumors to confuse people.

After all, there are not many people who can go deep into the Death Desert and see the Golden City. This aspect is not difficult to operate.

Moreover, the Golden Country Bandit and the Sand Clan who seem to know the inside story will also choose to keep it secret because of their interests.

The palace sent someone to contact them and cooperate with them.

The most important thing to guard against in this matter is the hyena people. After all, the Death Desert belongs to the orcs' territory, and the Karaha Territory located on the border is a battleground for military strategists.

The magician of the lord of Karaha Territory is also a participant in this matter, but he and Shim left early and did not witness the revival of the [Golden King] and the [Heroic King], which gave the Duke's Palace enough buffer time.

The personnel sent by the Duke's Palace quickly controlled the lord of Karaha Territory and reached an intention of friendly cooperation with the Sand Clan. Now only the Golden Country Bandit is left.

The base of the Golden Country Bandit is hidden in the Death Desert and is not easy to contact, but for the Duke's Palace, it is just a matter of spending a few more days.

As long as these three forces are controlled, If the key routes are blocked again, the news of the Golden City will not spread in a short time.

The Duke's Mansion can take advantage of this time to send personnel deep into the desert to try to contact the Golden Country, that is, diplomatic negotiations.

[Heroic King] is not mentioned, [Golden King] is obviously communicable.

And with the awakening of the "King", the monsters in the Golden City will be re-controlled and will not attack people without reason.

The Duke's Mansion has an information advantage in this regard, and it is easy to gain the favor of the [Golden King].

Of course, too much is as bad as too little, and you must be very careful when testing.

...

After finishing the deployment related to the Golden Country, the Duke's Mansion began to discuss the election of members of parliament.

In the meeting room, Lord Suna Montilfali and Aurora were both present.

They had arrived in the capital in mid-June, but did not live in the Duke's Mansion-this was mainly to avoid suspicion.

Usually, they would enter the Duke's Mansion in a carriage for meetings.

Now, the election of members of parliament has entered the second half of the first stage, and all the candidate members from their respective regions are striving for the civilians. Second round of voting.

When Dak was exploring the Death Desert, Lord Montilfarli had already given several speeches in St. Louis Square, which caused a huge response in the capital.

This response was not entirely positive, and it could even be said that a large part of it was negative.

The human kingdom has long been influenced by the teachings of the Holy Church, and the rejection of mixed-bloods is deeply rooted. Even with the improvement of education, many people have learned to think subjectively, but it is still difficult to change the concepts they have developed since childhood.

Lord Montilfarli was under great pressure to carry out The recent speeches were even opposed by large-scale organized masses.

The Duke's Mansion secretly took action and arrested the person who led the speech, but the emotions of the masses had been aroused.

The half-bloods who originally came to support the Lord of Montilfarli suddenly had a fierce conflict with that part of the people, and also attracted the city guards.

After the conflict, the enthusiasm of some half-bloods faded, and their emotions were sluggish. Their support for the Lord of Montilfarli also decreased a lot.

Now there are only two days left until the end of June. The Lord of Montilfarli is scheduled to give two more speeches, and how many votes she can get in these two speeches will determine whether she can enter the second stage.

To enter the second stage of the parliamentary election, you must at least be in the top 25 in the votes.

Relying on the early publicity and the cohesion of the mixed-bloods, Lord Montilfarli has successfully squeezed into the top 25, but has not been able to open up a gap with the following people.

Under the current situation, she is likely to be surpassed in the last two days, and then she will completely fail.

Therefore, one of the purposes of this meeting is to discuss how to stabilize the situation and make it advance smoothly.

"Use public opinion offensive."

After understanding it, Dak said.

The gap in the number of votes for Lord Montilfarli is not large, which actually surprised him.

But since it has reached this level, the follow-up operation is very simple.

Since someone is guiding public opinion and does not want Lord Montilfarli to advance, then use the same method to resolve it.

"Next, we should consider how to get votes from adventurers and ordinary people who are inclined to the Free City."

"In short, it is to arouse their sympathy through public opinion offensives."

"And it is not difficult to do this."

"You don't even need to make up lies to deceive the masses."

"We just need to present the facts."

The bullying that the hybrids have suffered so far is unimaginable to ordinary people.

If those facts are suddenly placed in front of them, many people will not be able to bear it in their hearts, and their rejection of the hybrids will be greatly reduced.

And those who are already on the side of the hybrids will also be aroused and increase cohesion.

However, humans are always mixed between sensibility and rationality. Although this kind of public opinion will cause a temporary emotional outburst, it will subside after a few days.

Because the treatment of the hybrids has been strengthened, there is an unavoidable reality for ordinary people.

That is, it will occupy the social resources that they may be allocated.

And excessive publicity will also cause rebellion.

So this kind of public opinion propaganda is easy to use but not easy to use for a long time, just right for this final stage of the sprint.

Yalvette nodded slightly and smiled, "The planned plan is indeed like this. The problem now is to guard against other people's disturbances. And protect Suna's safety."

After the election of parliamentarians enters the second stage, it is the vote of the House of Nobles, the vote of parliamentarians and the baptism of the Holy Church.

The only thing that can reflect "public opinion" is the initial first stage.

Once entering the second stage, the so-called "public opinion" is no longer meaningful. What follows is factional struggle and power competition.

So everyone knows that once the Lord of Montilfarli enters the second stage of the election of parliamentarians, it is equivalent to getting a ticket to enter the parliament.

So if you want to snipe the Lord of Montilfarli, you can only do it in this first stage.

The next two days will be the winner!

…

After the meeting, Dak greeted Aurora and her daughter, and then walked to the restaurant with Yalvette.

Of course, Yalvette had already eaten breakfast, but watching Dak eat was also a kind of enjoyment for her.

Dak told Yalvette some travel details during breakfast time, and then turned the topic to business.

He wanted to learn about the real situation of the kingdom from Alvette.

Although the meeting was lightly described, the competition for parliamentarians was actually very fierce.

However, the factional struggle between the eldest prince and the eldest princess has completely ended.

During this parliamentary election, these two most active figures in previous years seemed to have disappeared and have not appeared in public for nearly a month.

Those who didn't know thought they were under house arrest by the king.

Those who knew... all knew that they were receiving extremely strict magic education in the palace.

The old country The king didn't know what was wrong with him, and suddenly he began to care about the personal strength of the two heirs to the throne.

Although not many people paid attention to it, Anna and Angel were also locked up in the palace like Charles and Eliza...

Moreover, the old king's move was so sudden that Charles and Eliza were completely unprepared. One day, they were suddenly taken into the palace and never contacted the outside world again.

This is actually a very funny thing in the current urgent situation.

As the leaders of the faction, the eldest prince and the eldest princess suddenly lost contact, The faction members under them were naturally in the dark and became undecided about how to act next.

In addition, the two factions were already in a state of vacillation, and there was a trend of dissolution.

In this parliamentary election, the Grand Prince Faction and the Grand Princess Faction did not make any moves, and the nobles who wanted to become parliamentarians could only switch to other factions.

But because the Grand Prince Faction and the Grand Princess Faction were in name only, more factions that saw opportunities emerged.

For them, the parliamentary election is the best opportunity to compete for the right to speak.

Among the several major factions that have been revealed, in addition to the King Faction and the Valkyrie Faction, the most important ones are the Traditional Aristocratic Faction and the Emerging Aristocratic Faction.

The traditional aristocratic faction includes the traditional aristocrats left over from the old times, the stubborn aristocrats who are unwilling to change, and some conservative aristocrats who just want to keep their old capital. They belong to the conservatives.

Among the emerging aristocratic factions, most of them are younger aristocrats who are willing to seek change. They belong to the radicals.

The conservatives and radicals, like the previous doves and hawks, seem to be the same, but they are not.

The Valkyrie faction is a dove faction that pursues peace and stability, but is not conservative and does not reject change.

The hawk faction of the Holy Church is conservative, but also seeks change brought about by war.

Relatively speaking, conservatives and radicals are both more extreme types.

Therefore, although their faction is not powerful, their presence is very strong.

In this election for members of parliament, many candidates belong to them.

On the contrary, the doves and hawks with strong faction power did not make much move.

There are only three candidates for the Holy Church.

The Valkyrie faction has only two candidates.

One of them is the Lord of Montilfali in the Free City.

Of course, three plus two equals five, and it seems that the five seats for members of parliament have been divided by these two factions.

But in fact, the support of the Holy Church and the Valkyrie faction for those candidate members is very average.

They obviously don't value it that much.

In Yalvette's words, even if there are no of their people among the elected councillors, they can still make them their people.

Instead of paying attention to the councillor election, it is better to pay attention to the Heroes Conference starting in July.

It is said that there are masters among the people, and maybe someone will stand out in the Heroes Conference and become the darling of the times.

If there is a magician with great potential, both here and the Holy Church will consider taking action.

Because the next era will be an era where personal power overrides everything.

They can't just watch the good seedlings being taken away by the king.

"Speaking of the Heroes Conference, after today, the day after tomorrow will be July. There should be some particularly outstanding names of players, right?" Dak said.

Yalvette propped up her chin and said with a smile: "Yes, there are, but there are always surprisingly many people who like to hide their strength."

Dak smiled and said: "I'll just take a look and kill time."

Yalvette asked curiously: "Aren't you going to pay attention to Suna's election?"

Dak said: "I'm going, so I need something to kill time."

After that, he laughed again.

In these last two days, he plans to personally accompany Aurora and directly participate in the election for the mayor of Montilfarli.
