Chapter 191: An Unexpected Change
For Jenn, there was something interesting. That is, he has been "cooperating" with the Pawood family for so long, but he has never met the patriarch of the Pawood family, Christopher. Pawood. The two parties have always communicated and connected through Guò Deli, including transactions. Jenn offered the condition, and Deli relayed. Then the old patriarch bargained again, and then Dai Li relayed it......... If you think about it, except for this poor eldest lady, who has to run at both ends all day, the other two people are very leisurely, just sitting behind the desk and moving their mouths.
But now it seems that in the current situation, Jenn is not able to relax anymore.
"This is it, Mr. Jenn."
Arriving at the end of the hallway, Deli whispered a reminder to Jenn, then she turned around and knocked on the door. Soon, an honest, steady voice sounded from inside the door.
"Who is it?"
Although the voice is low, it is not weak, and even gives people a sense of thunderous shock. Hearing this voice, Dai Li's face turned pale, and then she took a deep breath before she whispered.
"It's me, Father, that I have brought Mr. Jenn here as you commanded."
Hearing Delly's answer, there was silence in the door for a moment, and then the old voice from before sounded again.
"Ask him to come in."
"Yes, Father."
After receiving a response from Old Pawood, Deli showed a relaxed expression, and then she opened the door sideways and made an inviting gesture to Jenn. However, although Deli tried her best to appear quite calm, Jenn could still detect the eldest lady's hidden nervousness in her slightly pale face and uneasy eyes. She seemed to be very afraid of her father.
"Please come in, Mr. Jenn."
But Delily's nervousness didn't infect Jenn. For him, a small lord had nothing to fear. Don't say that Pawood is just a lord. Even if he was the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom Seth, Jenn would not take it seriously--oh, considering the hostile relationship between the demon clan and the Holy Kingdom Seth, it would be polite for Jenn not to give him the middle finger in public.
Walking into the room, Jenn soon saw the slightly aging figure sitting behind the desk, and the old Pawood was not too young, but he still gave people the momentum of Tarzan sitting there. Although his body is not tall, it matches the momentum. But it released quite a lot of pressure.
If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that just standing in front of this old man would already be trembling at this moment, but Jenn is not an ordinary person, strictly speaking, he is not even a "person" now, so naturally he will not be so humble to this old man. Instead, in the face of the old man, Jenn just nodded politely in response. Although respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue, this is the Klein continent. Here, the status of a nobleman is higher than that of a qiē, and strictly speaking, the status of a knighted nobleman is about the same as that of Pawood, a lord of a land. Even the status of the nobles who were honored was even higher. After all, the lord of the Pawood family can only climb in the eagle plateau nest, while Jenn can walk sideways anywhere. So it stands to reason that even old Pawood himself stood up to greet Jenn. It's a normal thing.
Neither side cared that much about such trivial matters, though, so Jenn just nodded. And the old man only responded in return -- although this was only a small thing, it showed a very delicate relationship between the two sides.
"I represent the Pawood family. Welcome, Sir Jenn. ”
After Jenn sat down, the old man spoke quickly. He took off the monocle he was wearing on the bridge of his nose, raised his head, and stared at the young man in front of him with the same eyes that had gone through countless stormy years. In fact, the moment he saw Jenn, the elder Pawood was a little surprised, although it was not the first time he had heard his daughter describe things about this young man, but in the transactions with the other party, the old Pawood felt the strength and cunning of a shrewd nobleman. Therefore, in his opinion, even if Jenn is young, he is afraid that he will not be too young. However, after actually seeing Jenn, it still surprised old Pawood.
At Jenn's age, I'm afraid he's not qualified to be a young man, but according to old Pawood, it's still a child at all!
If it had been before, the old man would have wondered if something was wrong, or if the young man was just a puppet and someone else was behind him. But after the incident in Solid Rock City, the elder Pawood was convinced that this was the young man's own decision. His strong appearance against Solid Stone and Radiant Wings was not as youthful and exuberant as many people thought, on the contrary, Pawood Sr. was well aware that it was a very unmistakable act of demonstration.
It was not just a demonstration to those potential enemies, but also to the Pawood family. In fact, even from the moment Jenn defeated Sturker, he had mercilessly kidnapped the Pawood family in his chariot. As a result, the Pawood family has lost the initiative in this transaction, and in the next transaction, they may not have the same bargaining cards as before.
But now is not the time to discuss this issue, and the old man invited Jenn here not to complain, on the contrary, precisely because the situation in front of him is developing in a crucial direction.
"You're welcome, Patriarch Pawood, I think you must have something urgent to come to me so late."
Hearing the old man's greeting, Jenn was not polite, he raised his eyebrows, and then spoke.
Hearing Jenn's rhetorical question, the old man also nodded. Since the other party is not interested in those hypocritical politeness, then don't waste time and go straight to the point.
"Yes, Sir Jenn. In fact, just before that, the Federal Parliament convened a meeting to make changes to the electoral charter. Speaking of this, the old man glanced at Jenn meaningfully before speaking. Meeting Rules. In the tournament of the election, only members of the House of the Council lord are allowed to compete. Others are forbidden to participate in the competition. ”
"What?!"
Hearing this, Jenn didn't react yet. Instead, Deli stood up in surprise, her eyes widening in disbelief. Of course, she knew what this rule meant, and it was obvious that Jenn's previous appearance at the gate of Solid Stone City had made the other lords wary and uneasy, which was why she was so shameless and so naked to change the rules. To others, this may seem like nothing, but in Deli's opinion, it is simply to ban Jenn from participating in the competition! Because Jenn was a decorated nobleman, it was impossible for him to abandon his title of nobility to join the Pawood family. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him to participate in this competition. So. The power confrontation on the Pawood family's side was over in an instant.
"How could they do that!"
"Of course they can."
In the face of his daughter's anger, old Pawood seemed very calm.
"A lot of people are worried about the intentions of the Pachanon family, and his status is really not suitable for being too deeply involved."
Hearing her father's answer, Deli opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
You must know that the competition of the parliamentary election is not a ring match, and it is not as simple as two people going up to READYGO and then going head-to-head. As this link is to pay tribute to the exploits of the original Federation Lord who led his army to defeat the barbarians. Therefore, it is a squad battle, and each side of the battle needs to lead an elite squad and then enter the Summer Wind Forest. They need to defeat all the other challengers and collect all six flags to emerge victorious.
It is precisely because of this that Jenn's addition has attracted the attention of so many forces. The role of a legendary powerhouse on the battlefield is enough to change a qiē, even if he alone is enough to wipe out a well-armed legion. Not to mention that the teams participating in the competition are no more than thirty people. Even if these people are united, they are not Jenn's opponents, how to meet and how to die. That's why the Federal Assembly voted unanimously to approve this proposal. Because of the competition, the results obtained by each family team. It is also inseparable from their own position in parliament. Even if they don't get the first place, it's not bad to get the second, third, fourth and fifth places. In this way, at least in the new Federal Parliament, their family status can rise.
But if Jenn is allowed to come, then it is estimated that they will have no share............
Each family has its own little abacus, even the allies of the Pawood family, after all, allies are allies, not subordinates. It is impossible to concentrate on being the green leaves that set off the red flowers, and they also want to be able to show their strength so that they can gain some initiative in the transaction with the Pawood family. Rather than being directly pressed by the Pawood family to get nothing, in this case, the federal parliament unanimously agreed to change the rules and refuse Jenn to participate in the tournament.
Jenn had already guessed that something like this would happen, but he didn't care, because the Radiant Wings were finished, and Sterke had already rolled the edges. What he had to do was actually done by the time Jenn entered Solid Rock City, and all he had to do was sit back and watch the show until the final moment came to decide. So in the face of the news provided by Old Pawood, Jenn didn't show much surprise, on the contrary, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. Then he reached out and signaled to Deli next to him that he didn't need to be so excited.
"Don't worry, Miss Delly, those idiots are just dying now, and no matter what they do, they won't be able to shake our position."
"But ..............."
Hearing Jenn's words, Dali frowned, she was not as optimistic as Jenn. After all, if Jenn doesn't fight, then he has to fight on his own. For Dai Li, although she is easy to play on the battlefield as a mid-level mage, the weakness of the mage is also obvious, once someone sneaks up or there is an accident, then it will be very troublesome.
However, Jenn didn't seem to care about Deli's worries at all.
"Nothing, Miss Delly............ You're a mage, I think you've already appointed a Dharma protector? ”
"Yes, Mr. Jenn."
Although I don't know why Jenn asked this question, Deli still gave an honest answer.
"If there are no accidents, Dobby will be my protector and participate in this competition with me."
"Uh-huh..............."
Hearing this, Jenn pondered for a moment, and then he looked up again, showing an eerie smile.
"So, does Miss Dellie mind if I recommend you a new candidate?" (To be continued......)
