Chapter 1973

But as public opinion continued to ferment, the situation became different.

People are often controlled by short-term interests that can be seen with the naked eye, or by concentrated high emotions.

As the past experiences of the hybrids were published in newspapers and spread by word of mouth, the number of votes for Lord Montilfarli began to rise at a considerable rate.

After returning to the mansion, Lord Montilfarli immediately began to prepare for the last speech tomorrow.

Dak sat in the mansion for a while and left quietly.

He will come again for tomorrow's speech.

But he will not participate in the process.

...

After returning to the Duke's mansion, Dak continued to study the spell recorded from the side of the altar.

The effect of this spell is very similar to the effect of the murals in the Moon God Temple, and it is simpler and easier to transform into magic patterns than murals.

On the way back, he had actually done a lot of research and completed the preliminary magic pattern transformation.

What needs to be done next is to adjust, experiment, and adjust again.

But it is obviously unrealistic to want to quickly refine [Greed IV] based on this magic pattern.

The problems encountered in the research of [Greed IV] and [Pride IV] are very similar, both of which are [Sins] points are not enough to support repeated experiments.

Without experiments, it is difficult to optimize, and the research progress will be slow.

However, the early experiments are mainly [Greed I] and [Greed II], and they are gradual and not impossible to carry out.

In the later stage, we can only rely on the experience of refining [Bliss IV] and try our best after optimizing to the limit.

…

After making a plan, Dak quickly calmed down to study.

That night, he successfully refined a [Greed I] using this magic pattern.

After experiments, Dak confirmed the usability of this [Greed I], and also confirmed that the magic pattern transformed by the [Altar Spell] can indeed be applied to the production of the [Greed] Sin Card.

This gave him the confidence to continue research.

However, [Greed I] has very low requirements for magic patterns, and the amplification effect of adding magic patterns cannot make it cross levels.

The greatest benefit of refining [Greed I] is to observe the reaction of the magic pattern during the refining process through experiments, so as to adjust and optimize its details.

Dak already has sufficient experience in this, and soon adjusted it to a level sufficient to support [Greed II].

The next morning, he started the second experiment directly, and it was indeed successful at once, refining a [Greed II].

But starting from [Greed II], it is not so simple.

The refining experiment of [Greed III] requires 10 points of [Greed] at a time, which is not something that Dak, who does not have abundant resources for the Great Sin, can easily try.

It is a more reasonable choice to continue to use the refining experiment of [Greed II] to adjust and optimize the magic pattern.

In contrast, the research on [Arrogant Magic Pattern] should also be put back on the daily routine.

Combining the two, studying them simultaneously, and finally trying the refining experiment of [Great Sin IV] separately, is what Dak is going to do next.

However, it is difficult to achieve results by studying the same project blindly. When Dak studied it at noon, he temporarily put it aside and continued to study [Holy Sin Curse] in the afternoon.

The refining of the [Holy Soldier Curse] has actually come to an end, and it should be completed in a few days.

Dake was not in a hurry, and continued to think about optimization and then verify his ideas with experiments.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, he changed into aristocratic clothes and went out again.

After a while, Dak came to the temporary residence of the city lord Montilfarli, and then at six o'clock in the afternoon, he went out with the staff of the Free City to St. Louis Square.

St. Louis Square is the second largest square in the kingdom in terms of length and width, second only to the restricted King Square.

Every time a congressman is elected, St. Louis Square is the main venue, but this time the number of alternate congressmen is unprecedented, and the alternate congressmen who can enter St. Louis Square to give a speech have quite strong backgrounds.

This is not the first time that Suna Montilfarli has entered St. Louis Square to give a speech, and this time she is also familiar with the place.

The time period for her appearance tonight is between seven and eight o'clock, which can be called the golden age.

There are voting boxes directly at fixed locations in the square, and people who have listened to the speech can directly line up to vote.

Tonight is the last night for canvassing, and the voting deadline is still one day away, which will not be officially over until 24:00 on July 1st.

However, after canvassing was no longer allowed, the increase in votes has been very slow.

Therefore, basically after tonight, the election results will be settled.

Dak followed Aurora to the back of the square and watched the alternate councillor who was giving a passionate speech on the podium.

He had read the relevant information of the alternate councillor, and knew the identity of the alternate councillor after a little comparison.

However, he did not interrupt Aurora's detailed explanation.

Every alternate councillor who can give a speech at St. Louis Square tonight is really capable, and their votes are basically ranked in the top 30.

The speech of the city lord Montilfarli yesterday was very successful. Under the guidance of public opinion, he also won a large part of the votes of the masses and entered the top 20 overnight.

However, the number of votes for the alternate councillors in this range is very close, so she is not resting on her laurels yet.

All the alternate members who gave speeches today tried their best. Some had tears in their eyes while speaking, while others shouted until their voices became hoarse. The atmosphere on the scene continued to be high.

As for the topics of their speeches...

Dak listened a little bit. Some talked about gender equality and fighting for women's rights, some talked about common prosperity and raising civilian wages, and some talked about building a future together and building more educational and medical facilities for children...

In short, everyone had something to say, and made a lot of promises to different groups.

In short, just brag first, and we'll see if we can do it after we become members of parliament.

In front of those promises involving the interests of the masses, the topic of the speech by the city lord Montilfarli is indeed not very attractive to non-mixed humans. Her total number of votes is actually very limited. Now she can enter the top 20, which is indeed a huge effort.

"Please support me! As long as I become a member of parliament, I will definitely drive the greedy and shameless mixed-blood bastards out of the kingdom!"

The sudden shout made Dak frown suddenly.

He turned his head and found that there was another person on the podium.

Dak nodded slightly. The Holy Church itself rejects mixed-bloods, so it is not surprising that such people appear.

But the problem is...

"Next, it should be Aunt Suna's speech, right?" Dak asked.

Aurora nodded and said in a heavy tone: "Yes."

Dak said: "This Price, I remember that the current ranking is only 33rd. Is he going to be a self-destructing bomb?"

The public opinion offensive of the Duke's Mansion has already started. Now many people are full of sympathy for the plight of the mixed-bloods. Even if Price used this as a selling point to canvass votes, he should know how to restrain himself, not to mention that he seemed to be focusing on the development of agriculture at the beginning.

However, in the current situation, this self-destruction behavior is meaningless.

No, it cannot be said that it is completely meaningless.

Because Price's behavior just proves the serious oppression suffered by the mixed-bloods in the kingdom.

If the city lord Montilfarli can effectively use this wave of public opinion, he can get more votes.

"Isn't this a good thing? Then let him continue speaking." Dak said casually.

Aurora understood and immediately went to discuss with Montilfarli how to revise the speech.

But when she walked away, Dak frowned.

Price's behavior was not like what the Holy Church would do, because it would cause a lot of people to feel bad.

When the Holy Church does this kind of thing, it usually replaces words with actions. On the surface, they are all kind and benevolent.

In this case, what is the reason for Price's behavior?

Dak raised his head slightly, looked at Price who was performing hard on the podium, and then looked at the crowd who responded little, and suddenly made a judgment in his heart.

"So that's it, is it for the sake of foreshadowing?"

Dak murmured in a low voice, and then called out: "Ashe."

As soon as the voice fell, ripples appeared on the shadow beside him, and Ashe walked out of it.

Dak gave a few careful instructions, and Ashe took the order to do it.

...

Price's speech was not well received. Although some people responded in the crowd, they failed to set the pace.

People in peacetime are less violent than in the past. People yearn for a rich and meaningful life, rather than the internal consumption brought about by war.

Moreover, Price's speech did not get to the point. If he had loudly proclaimed that hybrids would seize the limited resources of normal humans, it might have caused some waves.

But now, it attracted many people's rejection, and some people in the audience even shouted "Go away" and "Devil".

If it weren't for the fact that rotten eggs and tomatoes were not allowed in St. Louis Square, eggs might have bloomed on his head.

But Price still insisted on reading his speech, and then fled.

Then the Lord of Montilfarli went up to the podium.

Dark and Aurora also walked out from the back, but just stood in the corner of the podium.

Lord of Montilfarli faced the dense crowd alone, without a trace of cowardice - just kidding, she was a [Sun Warrior] who participated in the crusade against the Demon King!

The atmosphere in the square had been heated up by Price, and Mayor Montilfarli went directly to the stage.

∠Uncertain∠『时≤+发,〗New Book opened her mouth and said: "I am a hybrid of the Sun Chaser Titan and a human..."

The noisy crowd gradually quieted down, and Suna Montilfarli's voice resounded through the night sky, and the hot emotions were transmitted to everyone's ears with her unwavering voice.

The hybrids hidden in the crowd were so excited that their cheeks flushed.

Normal humans with good hearts were also sad about the tragic treatment that hybrids had suffered for a long time.

Soon after, the voices of support for Mayor Montilfarli resounded.

Mother Montilfarli continued her speech amid the cheers, and finally shouted: "I want to create a beautiful world without discrimination, without disputes, and everyone can live in harmony!"

She walked down the podium when the applause subsided.

People looked at her tall but soft back and walked towards the voting box.

Everything went smoothly.

From the reaction on the scene, it can almost be determined that the mayor of Montilfarli will be selected.

Of course, it is not a good habit to open champagne in advance, and we must go all out in the next period of time.

Dak and Aurora returned to the backstage together, but did not leave. Instead, they continued to watch with the staff of the Free City.

Naturally, nothing happened that night.

After all, all the lawless people were dealt with in advance by the maids of [Scorpio Palace].

…

July 1st, the last day of civilian voting.

Since they could no longer make speeches and canvass for votes, everyone gathered in the temporary mansion, waiting for the final results to be announced.

On this day, new vote data would be transmitted to the mansion every once in a while, and the ranking of alternate members was still changing.

After two days of fermentation, external public opinion showed some signs of rebounding.

But they were mainly fighting for the votes in the last two days, and a slight rebound would not be a big deal.

Thanks to the perfect speech last night, the vote ranking of Lord Montilfarli moved up from 20th to 18th that night.

On this last day, the increase in votes was also very ideal, helping her to move forward and reach 16th place.

At night, with only one hour left before the end of the first stage, Lord Montilfarli's vote ranking moved up again and reached 15th place!

Successfully squeezed into the top 15!

This is undoubtedly a huge success in the current kingdom.

Dak finally opened a bottle of champagne...flavored juice.

Everyone was relieved, and a grand celebration sounded in the brightly lit mansion.
