Chapter 1990

There is no shortage of talent among the maids at the Duke's Palace.

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

In the evenings of these days, he also communicated with the Duke's Mansion and had some understanding of the government's deployment.

Regarding the Death Desert incident, they first blocked information and spread rumors to confuse the public.

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

Moreover, the bandits of Golden City and the Sand Clan members who know the inside story will also choose to keep it secret because of their interests.

The government sent someone to contact him and he could cooperate with him.

The people who need to be on guard most in this matter are actually the hyenas. After all, the Desert of Death belongs to the territory of the orcs. The Kalaha Territory located on the border is a battleground for military strategists.

The magister of Lord Kalaha was also a participant in this incident, but he and Shim left the scene early and did not witness the resurrection of the [Golden King] and [Evil Spirit King], which gave the Duke's Palace enough buffer time.

The personnel sent by the Duke's Palace quickly controlled the lords of the Kalaha Territory, and reached an intention of friendly cooperation with the Sand Clan. Now only the Golden Township Thief is left.

The base of the Golden City Thief is hidden in the Desert of Death and is not easy to access, but for the Duke's Palace, it only takes a few more days.

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

The Duke's Palace can take advantage of this period of time to send personnel deep into the desert to try to have contact with the Golden Kingdom, that is, diplomatic negotiations.

Leaving aside the [King of Heroes], the [Golden King] can obviously communicate.

And Yue Feiqun≯≥：＊≮⑻武″]桤∫鲁{⒍°〃三⑷&!噝二And with the awakening of the “King”, the monsters in the Golden City will also be brought back under control, not without reason of attacking people.

The Duke's Palace has an information advantage in this regard and can easily win the favor of the [Golden King].

Of course, too much is never enough, and you must be cautious when testing.

…

After finishing the arrangements related to the Golden Kingdom, the Duke's Palace began to continue discussing the election of MPs.

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

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

During normal meetings, we would enter the Duke's Palace on a carriage.

Now, the parliamentary election has entered the second half of the first phase, and all alternate members from their respective regions are fighting for the second round of civilian votes.

While Duck was exploring the Desert of Death, Lord Montiel Farley had already given several speeches in St. Louis Square, which caused a huge response in the royal capital.

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

The human kingdom has been influenced by the teachings of the Holy Religion for a long time, and the rejection of hybrids is deep-rooted. Even with the improvement of education, many people have learned to think subjectively, but it is still difficult to change the concepts developed since childhood.

Lord Montilfali was under great pressure to give speeches, and in recent times he even encountered large-scale institutional opposition.

The Duke's Palace secretly took action and captured the people who guided it, but the emotions of the people had already been aroused.

The mixed race who originally came specifically to support the Lord of Montiel Farley suddenly had a fierce conflict with that group of people and even attracted the city guards.

After the conflict, the enthusiasm of some mixed races faded, their moods became depressed, and their support for the Lord of Montirfali also dropped a lot.

Now that there are only two days left before the end of June, Lord Montiel Farley is scheduled to give two more speeches, and how many votes these two speeches can attract will determine whether she can enter the second stage.

If you want to enter the second stage of the parliamentary election, you must at least be in the top twenty-five votes.

Relying on the early publicity and the cohesion of the mixed race, the Lord of Montilfali has successfully squeezed into the top twenty-five, but he has not been able to widen the gap with the following people.

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

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

"Let's use public opinion offensive."

After Dak understood it, he spoke.

The difference in votes between Lord Montiel Farley and the City Lord was not that big, which actually surprised him.

But now that it has reached this level, the subsequent operations are very simple.

Since some people are leading public opinion and do not want Lord Montiel Farley to be promoted, then they will use the same method to resolve it.

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

"To put it simply, it is to arouse their sympathy through public opinion offensive."

"And it's not difficult to do that."

“You don’t even need to make up lies to deceive the masses.”

"We just need to put the facts out there."

The bullying that mixed races have suffered so far is unimaginable to ordinary people.

If those facts were suddenly placed in front of them, many people would be overwhelmed and their rejection of mixed races would be greatly reduced.

And people who are already on the side of the mixed race will also be stirred up emotions 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 mixed-bloods 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 the sprint in this final stage.

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 members of parliament enters the second stage, it is the vote of the House of Nobles, the vote of members of parliament and the baptism of the Holy Church.

And 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.

Therefore, everyone knows that once the Lord of Montilfarli enters the second stage of the election of members of parliament, 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 deciding factor!

...

After the meeting, after saying hello to Aurora and her daughter, Dak walked to the restaurant with Alvette.

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

During breakfast, Dak told Alvette some details of the trip and then turned the topic to business.

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

Although the meeting was downplayed, the competition among the 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 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 to 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, and the faction members under them were naturally in the dark and became hesitant about how to act next.

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

In this parliamentary election, the eldest prince faction and the eldest princess faction did not make any moves at all, and the nobles who wanted to become parliamentarians could only switch to other factions.

But because the eldest prince faction and the eldest 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 emerged, 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 are relatively young 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 belongs to the doves, pursuing peace and stability, but they are not conservative and do not reject change.

The hawks to which the Holy Church belongs, although conservative, also seek changes brought about by war.

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

Therefore, although their factional power is not large, their presence is very strong.

In this parliamentary election, there are many candidates who belong to them.

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

There are only three candidates for the Holy Church.

There are only two candidates for the Valkyrie faction.

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

Of course, three plus two equals five, and it seems that the five seats for members 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 think so much of it.

In the words of Alvette, even if there are no members of theirs among the finally elected members, they can still make them theirs.

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

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

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

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

They couldn't just sit there and watch all 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 a list of some particularly outstanding contestants, 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: "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: "Yes, so I need something to kill time."

After saying that, he laughed again.

In the last two days, he plans to accompany Aurora in person and directly participate in the election of the Lord of Montilfarli.

I just don't know if the identity of the son of the Valkyrie is enough to calm the situation?

...

After the meal, the mother and son separated quickly.

During this period, Yalvette's official duties were the busiest, and Dak also had his own things to do.

The gold sands from Emma have not yet turned back into sand.

They are the best materials for studying [Turning Stone into Gold].

The taste is better when eaten with the [Gold Alchemy Array] recorded by Emma at the end.

The three [Golden Horse Knights], a [Golden Mummy], and a [Golden Sabertooth] captured before are still alive and have not been taken back by the [Golden King].

In addition, the gold products picked up from the Golden City, such as the [Golden Book], are also very valuable for research.

However, there are not many things that can be used as alchemy materials.

The most valuable ones are the gold bricks and the six diamond-shaped black diamonds sent by the [Golden King].
