Casting spells

"You want a pardon?"

The speaker, who is extremely sensitive to politics and rights, immediately figured out what the other party wanted from him.

You must know that as the leader of the highest authority of the entire civilization, he has many privileges that ordinary Darente can't match in their lifetime. Among them, pardon is the most basic and also the easiest to obtain.

Even he himself doesn't remember how many pardon statements he has signed since he took office.

But the problem is that none of the culprits who committed unscrupulous killings and destruction on the home planet has ever been pardoned.

If he really handed over this statement of pardon, he would immediately become the object of hostility and hatred of countless people, and he could basically bid farewell to the political arena.

"That's right! I need a statement of pardon to ensure that they will not commit extreme acts at the last moment." The leader of the shadow guard gave an affirmative answer without thinking.

Obviously, it is impossible for him not to know the stakes involved in this pardon. He just wanted to embarrass the other party and let the high-ranking Speaker taste what pain and helplessness are.

Just like all those who have been suppressed and treated unfairly for a long time, every member of the Shadow Guard has accumulated a lot of anger and dissatisfaction in their hearts.

The reason Mie didn't show it before was not that they had no temper, but that they hadn't found a channel to vent it.

But now, with the repeated defeats of the expeditionary force, these guys can no longer bear the restlessness in their hearts, eager to return to the center of power and seize those lost things.

This strong emotion and ambition can be clearly felt by every high-ranking Darente present.

But for some reason, each of them subconsciously ignored this point.

Including the members of the opposition and the commanders of the expeditionary force, without exception, they ignored the members of the Shadow Guard who had been in constant contact with low-level fighters and spellcasters during this period, allowing these guys to expand their influence.

Right now, the Shadow Guard, a name that should be full of ambiguity, is already familiar to most people.

Some relatively young guys even began to worship this group of "heroes" who possessed great strength and turned the tide several times.

Looking at the ambition shining in the other party's eyes, the speaker took a deep breath, and asked in a very serious tone: "Are you sure that with a pardon, you can bring the two boys back unscathed?"

"Of course!" The leader of the Shadow Guard nodded carefully. "Besides, I also need a little cooperation from the expeditionary force to lure them out from the depths of the ground."

"As you wish! But the ugly words are up front. If you fail to fulfill your promise, then everything I promised before will not exist." The speaker pulled out a blank black slate and moved it as quickly as possible. I entered some information in it, and finally attached my personal magic imprint.

In this way, a legally binding pardon statement is prepared.

Now, no matter who you are, as long as you enter your name into it, no matter how unforgivable crimes you have committed, you don't have to worry about being hunted down and tried.

"Thank you very much! I swear, it won't be long before you see those two naughty little guys again." The leader of the Shadow Guard bent down and bowed slightly, revealing a hint of amusement in his tone.

After he turned to leave, a member of parliament who remained silent from the beginning to the end suddenly asked: "I don't understand! Why did you agree to his request? You must know that according to the rules established at the beginning of the parliament, the Shadow Guard will never It should appear in the public eye again. Especially the power they possess must be strictly limited to less than two digits, otherwise..."

"Enough! I know what I'm doing."

Before the other party finished speaking, the speaker interrupted roughly.

"Times are changing! At the beginning of the establishment of the parliament, it mainly experienced a tragic war, a war between theocracy and mortals, so restricting theocracy, restricting the power that is deep in our souls, will naturally become top priority.

But now, with the increasing prosperity of magical power, we have got rid of the shadows of the past, and have invented countless spells and weapons that can kill gods. There is no need to continue to cling to those rigid rules.

What's more, the reason why the Shadow Guard is currently united is not because of the small number.

Just imagine, when their members expand to three, four, and five figures, will everyone obediently obey the orders of one person?

Do not!

of course not!

They will split!

There will be as many ideas and factions as we do now.

At that point, the Council can infiltrate the Shadowguard, turning it into a truly sharp weapon against our enemies. "

"You mean...to allow them to expand the number and influence of the Shadow Guard?" The congressman widened his eyes, as if he had heard some shocking remarks.

"Yes! Times have changed! From the moment those two boys appeared, our civilization has ushered in new opportunities and challenges. I know that some of you are against me, hoping that I will taste the bitterness of failure and hand it over right. But have you ever thought about whether the person who is going to take me has the ability to make correct judgments in such a complicated situation?" The speaker swept those faces with sharp eyes, either with disdain or disdain. A person with an indifferent expression.

But what is interesting is that for some unknown reason, these people kept silent, neither expressing any opinions nor making fierce rebuttals.

They seem to have decided that no matter what the speaker does, it will eventually fail.

Instead of wasting energy arguing and arguing now, it is better to wait patiently for the results so that you can clean up the mess.

……

At the same time, the leader of the Shadow Guard, who received the pardon reputation, has now returned to the deep underground tens of thousands of kilometers away from the expeditionary army camp, and said to several expecting companions in a very cold voice: "Come on, my friend!" Brothers and sisters.

Those idiots in the council finally handed this thing into my hands.

Now, all you have to do is spread the news to every member of the expeditionary force according to the plan.

I would like to see how long he can hold power without the support and support of the people.

The day we return to the center of power will be the day when he steps down and Parliament falls into chaos and scrambles for power.

Thousands of years of wrath!depressed!silence!

All will erupt like a volcano in the near future!

Facts will prove that we are the ones who can shoulder the glory and responsibility and lead the entire race to move forward. "

The first thousand and 380 chapters are ripe

Herd mentality refers to the fact that individuals are influenced by the behavior of the outside crowd, and their own perception, judgment, and understanding show a behavior that conforms to public opinion or the majority.

As a member of a group, very few people can maintain absolute calm and independence, not being affected by other people around them or the general environment.

When the parliament and the speaker pardoned the alien boy who caused a terrible disaster on the home planet, the entire camp of the expeditionary army fell into unprecedented boiling.

Everyone, whether intentional or not, is arguing with each other, even personally attacking each other, hoping to figure out what made the top management make such a crazy and stupid move.

Especially in this disaster, a highly respected congressman was killed, and even a complete body was not preserved.

No one realized that after achieving their goals, the black hands behind the scenes still left quietly and left the mess to the parliament to deal with it slowly.

Although the Darente's unique rationality did not allow such protests and debates to develop into riots, but as a saying goes, once the seeds of distrust are planted, one day the fruits of betrayal will bear fruit.

……

On the other side, the two boys who held the Queen of Anyat hostage have completely controlled the buildings in the most central area of ​​the Holy City at this moment.

In this place that was originally filled with a large number of servants and guards, there are only three people left now, and those who were originally responsible for taking care of the queen are only allowed to enter for a short time every day during feeding and cleaning.

I have to say that this kind of feeling of being in the enemy's lair and needing to be on guard all the time is really not very good.
