Chapter 810
Not to mention that Count Luke was secretly observing in the carriage, Dolph had already leaped into the guild hall on the first floor of the Mage Tower.
Because of his previous roar, Jin Hu, who was about to go up, stopped and waited for him to come over made a sarcastic remark with a half-smile and glanced at the carriage on the street.
"Hey, isn't this Baron Dolph? What? Are you going to interfere with the assessment of the Mage Guild?"
Dolph arrived at the scene and snorted coldly at Jin Hu. He ignored him and turned his head to look at William and said in a deep voice:
"Senator William, is the Mage Guild going to forcibly install a branch president regardless of the lord's wishes?"
Dolph seems to be reckless, but actually he is also very quick to speak when it comes to taking advantage of the situation and making accusations.
A thing like a wizard tower is erected in the city. Can we feel at ease if the president is not approved by the lord?
Forget about the weak lords in non-critical areas, because they can't stop the formal mages anyway, so it makes no difference whether they have towers or not.
But places like Dunno are different!
Once this matter is confirmed, it can be said that the entire Mage Guild will be in a passive position.
The Calais Federation has a great influence on the Mages Guild, but it is impossible to directly change the Mages Guild's position.
"Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't have come for the assessment and would have directly appointed a new guild leader. But the problem is that Baron Dolph has also seen the situation. The former acting guild leader has no respect for the guild at all. In order to maintain the reputation of the guild, I have no choice but to resort to this last resort..."
William spoke with a regretful expression, not leaving any room for words.
Whatever they did, the hat couldn't be worn.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken photos and used resources to lure the mage apprentice to defect.
"Your Excellency the Earl can continue to recommend candidates. For example, I heard that your Excellency the Earl's wife is also a formal mage. I can complete the symbolic assessment on the spot."
William behaved very humbly, and seemed to still respect Earl Luke greatly regarding the appointment and dismissal of the branch president.
But after giving in here, he continued to talk about the previous contract.
"However, the ownership of this Mage Tower has been transferred. The Guild has given face to the Earl. I believe that the Earl will handle it impartially, right? After all, we paid a considerable amount of money to obtain it."
It was completely different from the previous time they met. He became slippery and ruthless all of a sudden, which caught Dolph, who was well prepared, off guard .
At this moment, more and more carriages began to drive towards this side along the street, many of them carrying noble family crests.
One by one, the nobles who had appeared at the banquet got off their carriages and walked over.
Seeing that the situation was tense, the nobles who came down were also a little surprised and said:
"Baron Dolph, what is this?"
"We heard that Calais intends to build the Calais airship dock at the location of the Mage Tower, so we came here to take a look."
"Is there any difficulty?"
"This is a rare opportunity, but we must seize it..."
“…”
At first, Dolph was a little surprised to see these nobles appear, but after hearing their words, his face suddenly became gloomy.
Obviously, these people were specially notified by Congressman William when he was taking a break!
Galai already had great influence in the Merchants Guild. Did he directly let the people in the Guild notify him?
So many people were called here!
Count Luke, who was sitting in Baron Dolph's carriage, also had a deep look in his eyes at this moment.
Sure enough, as long as the benefits are big enough, the nobles will not care about the interests of the principality at all!
Count Luke is also inclined to build an airship dock, because it can better open up new trade routes, make the city of Dunnor more prosperous, and even indirectly benefit the entire Principality of Kedun.
But! This new trade route and this airship dock must be under one's own eyes and under control!
Otherwise, if Calais' capital is allowed to rush into the Duchy of Croton indiscriminately, with the huge economic gap between the two sides, Calais can completely replicate the model of the Duchy of Nott and almost crush the Duchy of Croton economically.
Other commodities are fine, but things like grain and salt are all in the hands of this group of merchants. I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, the 'three times' price I offered at the previous banquet won't be enough to stop it!
Even if the great power belongs to oneself, it is still people who do the actual work.
Even he would feel tired when faced with group confrontations tied together by shared interests.
Once the nobles who participated in the distribution had their mouths watered, the interest groups grew larger and larger.
Then it would make no difference if the Principality of Croton became a vassal state of the Calais Federation.
Calai was lying on top of me and sucking my blood, but I had no ability to resist...
For a moment, there was a hint of coldness in Count Luke's eyes.
He didn't want to kill people indiscriminately, as that would only be a temporary solution and not a permanent cure .
But if it is really necessary, it is okay to treat the symptoms first!
Leaving a number of positions free to support more newcomers will make many people feel precarious, and other nobles will also feel threatened, and may even shake the foundation of the entire Kedun.
But when that time comes, I won’t care about so many things!
At worst, I can take responsibility for it, resign as the Lord of the East, and give them an explanation...
Perhaps, this was also one of their goals. By changing a group of people and then slowly nibbling away at them, they would eventually find someone they liked.
However, there aren't many cards I can choose from...
…
Just when Earl Luke was even thinking of causing a river of blood to flow, Senator William of the Mage Tower suddenly had an idea.
The noble lords who arrived one after another have also arrived at the hall of the Mages Guild.
After hearing Fei Yang, the traitor who was eager to show off, describe the current situation in vivid detail.
However, they all expressed their condemnation in righteous words.
"Isn't this nonsense?"
"This acting president is so arrogant because of his contribution at the banquet. How can this be tolerated?"
"The ownership of this Mage Tower should belong to the Mage Guild. After all, the agreement has been reached before."
"Yes, we have to be reasonable too. We can't push the Mage Guild to the other side, right?"
"It's a good idea to build the airship dock here. There aren't many buildings around the Mage Tower. If we move some of them out, it will free up a large area."
"Yes, I can definitely see a prosperous future."
“…”
When Dolph saw this group of people here, he set the tone and chatted unscrupulously.
His face also looked a little gloomy.
The Earl is still watching in the car!
Fei Yang was even more delighted when he saw that a group of noble lords seemed to be on his side.
Originally, he felt that he had to at least leave his hometown.
But now it seems that we may not necessarily end up on the opposite side!
Congressman William ’s influence is so strong, and the bet turned out to be right!
I wonder if old man Murphy will regret it.
At the same time, all the images in the hall appeared in a crystal ball.
Niya blushed and covered her mouth as she looked at the picture in the crystal ball, occasionally making a few nasal sobs.
"It doesn't matter. They can't hear you. There's no need to be so depressed."
Wang Yi stood behind her, put his arms around her waist and whispered softly in her ear.
At this time, Shalltia also came to the table and said in a somewhat lazy voice
"But this matter is indeed a problem. With so many nobles standing on the side, I'm afraid Earl Luke will find it difficult."
"Earl Luke is more courageous than you think. He might even be thinking about rivers of blood right now. If you work hard now, you might even be able to get a female noble as your own."
The crystal ball zoomed in to Baron Dolph's carriage. Wang Yi felt a hint of emotion in it and couldn't help but tease him. Then he hugged Niya, who was screaming and shaking with fear, to prevent her from falling...
