Chapter 655 Setting Sail II/3
The "Crown of Late Autumn" will only be held in December, because it has been held several times before, and the venue, personnel, and event arrangements have already been coordinated, and no one has mentioned it at this time. On the contrary, Rotika, a councilor from Barrenna, came up and blamed "Houdini" for not returning to the kingdom, as he did at the beginning of every meeting.
The councilors of the other five colleges have already heard the cocoons in their ears, while the councilors of the Brenka College who were sprayed all over their bodies continued to lower their heads like ostriches... They didn't even have the courage to protest.
But no one expected that today Speaker Jeremy interrupted the eloquent reprimand of Ballenner College. The old man raised his eyelids halfway and said in a deep voice, "Houdini has sent a message that he is ready to set sail."
"...Well, well, this guy is sensible. I guess he can't pass the test in his heart, such a treasonous trip"
"Mr. Rotika, please pay attention to your wording. The parliament's ruling on treason is very strict. Before the plenary vote is held, I don't think you have the right to use this crime to call Houdini the magister."
The reason why Jeremy was so tough all of a sudden was because he found out that the other side's accusations were far more harmful than he had imagined. The so-called "three people become a tiger", the tireless accusation of the member of Rotika has succeeded in making the domestic development world prejudice against Master Houdini after several months... This is definitely not a political method worth advocating.
His arrogance made Mr. Rotika, who was about to say a few words, a little dumbfounded. He opened his mouth, knowing that what the other party said was right... If he used the word "treason" again, I am afraid someone would take it as "" slander" wrangled with him.
So Rotika shrugged and sat back in her seat. However, Congressman Jeremy did not seem to intend to end this topic, but continued: "Houdini's visit has been fruitful, and he hopes that everyone present will pay attention to the cooperative relationship with the Karen Kingdom. The number will also invite envoys and magicians from the Kingdom of Karen to visit Rahiman."
"The fleet is expected to arrive at the port in mid-September."
Jeremy still had the calm expression on his face, but when his words fell, the councilors from the surrounding colleges began to discuss in low voices with a "hum"...
What interests them is the arrival of the "Envoy of Karen Kingdom" and "Magician". As the high-ranking Rahimans who have just established their country and are in a good situation, their behavior style is more ostentatious than other countries.
This kind of mentality, to put it bluntly, means "never travel in brocade clothes at night"!
From the various scores that Houdini put in front of Charles II at the beginning, we can see the character of this country that likes to show off in its bones.
Therefore, they are almost thinking about "how to give each other a blow" at the moment.
But among them, Barrenna's congressman's face was not very good-looking.
They attacked Houdini for a long time because the other party's previous news threatened the fundamental industry of the entire academy. Now Speaker Jeremy's tone suddenly changed, obviously realizing what was happening at such a juncture. Barrena naturally didn't want Houdini to steal the limelight, so he immediately put forward an opinion:
"Since the fleet will arrive at the port in mid-September, why don't we advance the Crown of Late Autumn originally scheduled for December to October? This will just allow the envoys of the Kingdom of Karen to see Rahiman's event. I think These country bumpkins probably haven’t seen such a grand event before, have they?”
"That's a nice idea."
"However, if it is done in advance, our preparation time will be much shorter..."
"Everyone is on the same starting line, what's the matter?"
Discussions suddenly rang out. At first, some people were not very happy, but as the opinions gradually became unified, all the members of the academy agreed that this is the best way to "welcome" the grand event with more than ten surrounding countries. Come welcome, and be able to directly demonstrate Rahiman's absolute strength at the grand event, it is really a clever plan that serves multiple purposes!
"Then...vote to decide."
Speaker Jeremy was not surprised by this. He just took one more look at the members of Barrena before starting the voting process for the topic. Because of the unity of opinion, everyone quickly passed the bill, and the members of the Brenka Academy obviously looked bitter... In the years since the founding of Rahiman, the Brenka Academy has basically been The category at the bottom of the points ranking, so every "Twilight Autumn Crown" event has basically become a moment for them to grit their teeth and endure.
There was no competitiveness in the first place, and the date of the grand event was suddenly brought forward. This is really worse for the magicians of Brenka Academy, but at this time, how dare a few congressmen vote against it? They didn't even dare to abstain, and quickly showed obedience, voting "agree" one after another.
"The resolution is passed."
Speaker Jeremy picked up a small black hammer and lightly tapped the meeting minutes twice. The sound of "da da" echoed in the conference hall, and the different expressions of the members of the various colleges were seen by the speaker. He did not express any opinion on this, and sorted out the documents in a rare silence, and then announced the end of the meeting.
This move surprised the members of parliament who were still excited, but they were soon immersed in various fantasies about the "Crown of Late Autumn", forgetting the somewhat alienated back of Speaker Jeremy.
"start sailing!"
"set sail!"
"Woo"
The sound of the horn echoed on the sea, and the transport ships surrounding the flagship "Polatini" collectively raised their sails. Facing the rising sun, the entire fleet finally began the journey back to Rahiman.
The draft of the transport ships was much deeper than when they came, this was because the size of Roddy's team was really not small. This visit to Roddy has many purposes, and it sounds similar to Houdini's feeling when he came to Karen... He is not just a simple state visit, but also wants to show his strength to Rahiman, and thus gain more active support The right to speak.
Karen Kingdom does not have any real "diplomacy" at present. Charles II was played like a fool by Augustine at the beginning. The two sides did not speak on an equal footing from the beginning to the end. But Luo Di has the memory of "descendants of the Yellow Emperor", and those bloody and shameful treaties in history have long made him understand the truth of "weak countries have no diplomacy", so he is more prepared for this trip than Houdini expected.
The deck of the "Boratini" is really wide, and Rody feels as big as two basketball courts at a glance. He didn't have any research on ships, so he couldn't see any way to do it at this time. On the other hand, Erwin and the others, who were bored on the deck, were doing strength training routinely. The muscles of the barbarian's big man were like steel. The unarmed drills and equipment confrontations that were carried out by the opponent caused shouts one after another, which attracted the attention of the sailors.
