Chapter 2021

But the Duke's Mansion will not make it clear to the public, so many people pretend not to know.

Now that the young master of the mansion suddenly appears, the meaning is completely different.

That group of people quietly retreated, and the rest were a group of ordinary people who were overwhelmed by emotions.

Even if they tried their best, they couldn't make any waves.

...

The speech ended smoothly, and the atmosphere on the scene was still good, but it was impossible to calculate how many votes they could get.

However, public opinion has risen. When they walked on the road, they could clearly feel that the people looked at them differently.

But to be honest, both the Lord of Montilfarli and the Free City personnel who followed the team were very uncomfortable with that kind of vision.

Although they have experienced a lot of sadness, they also have backbone and self-esteem, and are not used to selling misery.

Even the speech of Lord Montilfarli was mostly motivational, talking about the friendliness of the mixed-bloods, the future prospects, and what they can bring to this country.

But how can those things attract votes from ordinary people?

The Free City has received very few votes from the masses so far.

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.

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

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

Combining these 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. Dak put it aside temporarily at noon and continued to study the [Holy Soldier Spell] in the afternoon.

The refinement of the [Holy Soldier Spell] has actually come to an end, and it should be refined in a few days.

Dak is not in a hurry, and continues to think about optimization, and then verifies 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 a very strong background.

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 it.

Her performance time tonight is between 7 and 8 o'clock, which is the golden time.

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

Tonight is the last night that canvassing is allowed, and there is still one day left until the deadline for voting, which will not officially end until 24:00 in the evening on July 1.

However, after being unable to canvass votes, the increase in votes has been slow.

So basically after tonight, the results of the election will be settled.

Duck followed Aurora to the back of the square and watched the alternate members of Congress who were giving passionate speeches on the podium.

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

However, he did not interrupt Aurora's explanation.

Every alternate member who can give a speech in St. Louis Square tonight is truly capable, and their vote rankings are basically in the top thirty.

Yesterday's speech by City Lord Montilfali was very successful. Under the guidance of public opinion, it also won a large part of the people's votes and entered the top twenty overnight.

However, the votes of the alternate members in this area are very close, so she can't rest easy yet.

The alternate members who gave speeches today all tried their best. Some had tears in their eyes during their speeches, while others roared until their voices became hoarse. The atmosphere at the scene continued to rise.

As for the topic of their speech…

Dak listened for a while. Some talked about equality between men and women and wanted to fight for women's rights. Some talked about common prosperity and wanted to increase the wages of civilians. Some talked about building a future together and building more educational and medical facilities for children...

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

In short, let the bullshit out first, and wait until you become a member of the House of Representatives to decide whether you can do it.

In the face of those promises that involve the people's self-interest, the theme of the speech of Lord Montiel Farley is indeed not very attractive to non-mixed humans. Her total number of votes is actually very limited. Now that she can enter the top twenty, it is indeed A huge amount of effort went into it.

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

The sudden shout made Dak frown suddenly.

He looked sideways and saw that there was another person on the podium.

"It's Price who belongs to the Holy Religion, a complete racist." Aurora said in his ear.

Dak nodded slightly. The Holy Religion itself rejected mixed races, so it was not surprising that such people appeared.

But the problem is...

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

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

Dak said: "This Price, I remember that the current ranking is only thirty-three. Are you planning to become a self-destruct bomb?"

The public opinion offensive in the Duke's Palace has begun. Many people are now sympathetic to the plight of mixed-race species. Even if Price originally used this as a selling point to attract votes, he should know how to restrain himself, not to mention that he seemed to be focusing on developing agriculture at the beginning. .

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

No, it can’t be said to be completely meaningless.

Because Price's behavior just confirmed the serious oppression that mixed races suffered in the kingdom.

If the Lord of Montirfali can effectively use this wave of public opinion, he will be able to attract more votes.

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

Europe

Ruola understood the idea and immediately went over to discuss with Montiel Farley how to revise the speech.

But after she walked away, Dark frowned.

What Price did was not something that the Holy Church would do because it would offend a large number of people.

When the Holy Cult does this kind of thing, they usually use actions instead of words. On the surface, they are all benevolent and kind-hearted.

If so, what was the reason for Price's behavior?

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

"I see, is this just to pave the way?"

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

As soon as he finished speaking, ripples appeared on the shadow beside him, and Ai Xi walked out of it.

Dak gave some careful instructions, and Ai Xi took the order.

…

Price's speech was not well received, and although there were responses from the crowd, it failed to set the pace.

People in peaceful times are much less violent than in the past. People yearn more for a rich and meaningful life rather than the internal strife caused by war.

Moreover, Price’s speech did not hit the point. If he loudly claimed that hybrids would seize the limited resources of normal humans, he might create a few waves.

But what he said now attracted many people to reject him. Some people in the audience even shouted words such as "Go away" and "Devil".

If it weren't for Rotten Eggs being allowed in St. Louis Square, maybe there would be eggs blooming above his head.

But Price still insisted on finishing his speech before running away.

Immediately afterwards, the Lord of Montelfali stepped onto the podium.

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

The Lord of Montelfali faced the dense crowd alone without any cowardice - just kidding, she is a [Sun Warrior] who participated in the Demon King's crusade!

The atmosphere in the square had already been heated up by Price, and the Lord of Montelfali came directly to the stage and said: "I am a hybrid between a sun-chasing giant 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 mixed-bloods hidden in the crowd were so excited that their cheeks flushed.

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

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

Mayor 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 only after the applause subsided.

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

Everything went smoothly.

From the response on the scene, it can almost be concluded that Mayor 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 people of the Free City.

That night, naturally, nothing happened.

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

…

July 1st, the last day of the civilian vote.
