Volume One, The Wizard's World Chapter Forty-Four, The Disparate Finale
"Now that everyone has listened to the story, it's time to vote." Dean Hercules suddenly clapped his hands and said.
His eyes glanced around casually, taking in everyone's expressions, and then smiled slightly and said: "From a personal perspective, I am a person who values blood and family ties, so I very much want to support Lord Consul;
However, based on the interests of the monastery, my reason tells me that Lord Fox’s proposal is more reasonable.”
"It's really hard to choose between these two parties, so I decided to abstain and you can vote now."
After Hercules finished speaking, he ignored the astonished Abel and leaned back on the chair casually, keeping himself out of the matter.
But in this way, twenty people become nineteen. As long as an even number of people do not abstain, then the outcome can be determined.
"Okay, we respect your will." Abel Fox quickly understood the dean's intention, so he stood up first and said, "I vote in favor."
"I object!" Consul then voted against.
"Agree!"
"Agree!"
"be opposed to!"
…
The voting speed is very fast. Although Consul is a mentor, not many wizards are willing to sell his face in the face of interests. The negative votes are basically due to Consul's greeting in advance, and there are some sympathy votes.
Most female wizards voted for it.
The current vote is 8/4, with 8 in favor and 4 against. Abe Fox is sure to win.
But he was unwilling to hold off the winner until the end, so after a senior awakened person voted in favor, Abel raised his hand to stop Sheen who wanted to vote, looked at Ian with a smile, and said: "Ian...
Hyde, you were also the protagonists in the last apocalypse incident, what did you and the wizard Jasmine think?"
"Um?"
The two people who were hiding in the corner were called out, and they were a little panicked for a moment. This old guy was driving people to death.
"I object. It's not his turn yet according to the order. Fox, what you are doing is against the rules." Consul said excitedly. He didn't know that Abel had found something about them, but looking at the looks on both sides, it seemed that there was something between the three of them.
There are other situations.
Abel Fox's idea is not to let Ian and the others vote in the end, so as to minimize the pressure they have for fear of offending Consul. If he continues to exert pressure, then the possibility of the two of them complying
will be bigger.
"The order is not a necessary procedure for voting, what do you think, Mr. Dean?" Abel tilted his head and transferred the right to speak to Hercules.
"Indeed!" Hercules ignored Consul's plea and affirmed with a smile and nod.
Then he looked at Ian and praised him: "Boy, you are very good. I still remember what you said last time. Only those knights can say such brave words."
Faced with the dean's praise, Ian immediately stood up and replied: "Thank you for your compliment, sir. Jasmine Phoenix told me last time that it was sir who saved me, thank you. You are right, I
He is a descendant of the Hyde family, a noble knight."
"Haha, that's it. You three all performed very well last time. It seems that we should pay more attention to people from the knight family when selecting apprentices in the future."
These words seemed to be casual polite words, but all the instructors except Consul looked thoughtful.
And that Casper said directly to Ian: "You can come to me directly after you become a gifted person."
As soon as these words came out, all the middle and low-level wizards raised eyebrows. The awakened ones didn't know it, but the gifted ones knew very well that in addition to being the twelve masters of the monastery, Casper was also the sentinel known as the Sword of Hydrian.
The leader of Zhi Shang, her words basically represent the great future of a low-level wizard.
Ian knew only a little about it and was confused about the recruitment of this strange female knight. But Hercules seemed to see his embarrassment, so he came to the rescue and said: "Haha, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Let's continue now.
Vote. Ian, just follow your own heart."
"Thank you, sir!" Ian nodded, and then said, "I object."
After speaking neatly, he sat down and closed his eyes to rest, ignoring Abel Fox's sinister eyes. This made Casper Berkeley, who was secretly observing on the side, nod slightly.
Then, now that Ian Hyde has made his choice, Jasmine, as a noble, naturally does not allow herself to go back on her word, so she firmly said: "I object!"
In an instant, the score was 8/6, with 8 in favor and 6 against. The outcome was still very different.
There are 6 people left who have not voted, and these remaining 6 votes are extremely precious.
It was about his son's life. Consul was naturally very nervous. You could see his left hand on the table was clenched into a fist. Abel on the side was also staring at the voters, and his threat was obvious. This
Ian couldn't help but wonder what Abel Fox was doing.
If it was for a certain benefit, then he could exchange it with Consul. There was no need to kill Alfo at the cost, unless this kind of benefit could only be given by the Holy Light Mercy Society.
What will it be?
The requirements of research wizards are all kinds of strange, and a combat wizard would never imagine that. Although Ian is not a combat wizard, he is a rookie, so naturally he cannot think of the truth behind it, so he can only sit back and watch the development of the situation.
"However, Abel is completely offended."
The vote of the six people was not slow, and three of them voted in favor, so the total was eleven in favor and nine against. Abel's proposal was passed, and Alfo would be traded away by the monastery and become an abandoned son.
At this moment, Ian's heart was heavy. He had done so much under pressure and still failed in the end, which was really frustrating.
Compared with Ian's depression, Consul should be desperate. But when Ian opened his eyes, he didn't see any expression on Consul's face. He just stood up with a sullen face.
Then quietly left the prayer hall.
From beginning to end, not a word was spoken. The silence was terrifying, and even Abel Fox, who was so excited about his victory, did not dare to say a word of celebration.
The entire hall fell into an eerie silence.
"Okay, now that we have the result, it's time to start the negotiations for the Mercy Society. Mr. Fox, can you preside over it?" Dean Hercules broke the silence and calmly said to Abel
said.
This move was exactly what he wanted, so Abel Fox stroked his chest with rare grace and saluted: "I am happy to serve you, my lord!"
Hercules did not comment and quickly left the hall.
Immediately afterwards, the mentors and wizards left one after another. Abel Fox also glared at the two of them fiercely and left quickly. Now was not the time to teach them a lesson, he had more important things to do.
In the end, only Ian and the two were left sitting there quietly, saying nothing for a long time.
