"It's Lord Gust, really Lord Gust."

"Master Gust, is your injury okay?" Someone asked with concern.

"It's not completely healed, but I can move normally." Simon responded with a smile.

"Lord Gust, in this election, we must elect you as a member of parliament." Someone shouted, and the overwhelming majority of people agreed immediately.

Simon folded his fists and smiled: "Thank you all."

"You are a good person, and we can rest assured that you are a member of parliament."

"Yes, we can rest assured."

"Lord Gust, who should we elect this time?"

"Yeah, yeah, tell us that those are really good people for Fossa City."

Simon got up and squeezed his hands to keep everyone quiet.

"The election of councillors is a top priority for all Fossa city residents, so everyone must be cautious and cautious. I know that some people are actively mobilizing now, and they are distributing materials and money, which is a good thing for everyone. I suggest everyone to get it, after all, it's free, and everyone wants it for nothing."

The onlookers laughed.

"But..." Simon's turn made the scene quiet again.

"This election is related to the development of Fossa City in the next ten or twenty years. If the election is wrong, ordinary citizens will suffer the most, so I hope that everyone will not vote for anyone because of this little benefit. , to choose who.

Everyone must remain rational and sober, and cast their votes earnestly. "Simon solemnly warned.

"Lord Gust, why don't you tell us who to choose, we will listen to you." Someone shouted.

Simon waved his hand: "This can't be done. I promoted the election this time, and I am also one of the candidates. If I tell you who should be elected and who should not be elected, then I am not manipulating the election. This is against the principle of fairness and impartiality in popular elections.”

"Or you tell us quietly, and we promise not to."

"Yes, yes, we promise not to say."

Simon's face was stern and expressionless: "I am a knight, and I have my own principles. If the principles of a knight can be changed at will, then am I still a knight trusted by the citizens of Fossa City?"

"I'm sorry, it was my fault." The person who just spoke immediately apologized.

"Okay, the only thing I can say is that I hope you can sincerely choose the members you recognize for your own sake and the future of Fossa City." After Simon finished speaking, he pushed aside the crowd and left.

The citizens chased all the way out, but Simon disappeared in the blink of an eye. The citizens returned to the tavern with regret, and the atmosphere of discussing the election became more lively.

However, some people left quickly in the tavern. They were sent by the mayor of Pauli and some families of Dakarlo William and the others. They were specially here to promote and guide the citizens of Fossa City.

When Simon came and said these words, they are now rushing back without stopping and reporting it.

On the third day, their negotiations with Viscount George and others were basically completed, and they talked about a cooperation condition that both parties agreed. Of course, Viscount George and the others still paid a huge price.

Then they began to contact Dakalo William and others. Dakalo William has been busy with the election of the people these days, and his heart is broken.

When Dakalo William and the others heard that Simon was talking to them, they all got excited. They came to the ninth inning secretly that night. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the conference room and saw Viscount George and the others, their originally happy mood immediately became gloomy. .

"Knight Gust, what's going on?" Dakarlo William said solemnly.

"This time it is a three-way meeting, and Viscount George is also a party to the meeting."

Dakarlo William frowned: "Is it necessary to have any tripartite talks? Isn't it enough for us to cooperate with you?"

"Isn't this worried that you will backtrack again?" Viscount George sneered.

Dakarlo William stared at Viscount George fiercely, and Viscount George ignored him directly.

"Mr. William and all of you, come here, why don't you sit down first." Strand said.

"Knight Gust, this time we are here with sincerity, I hope you don't play with us." Dakarlo William snorted coldly, but did not leave, and sat down gloomily.

After the negotiation started, Stellan said the content of the cooperation, and Dakarlo William was a little bit blown up and strongly disagreed.

After two hours of negotiation, Dakalo William still disagreed, and the final negotiation was still unsuccessful, but Dakalo William and others did not directly refuse, they said they would go back and think about it.

Dakalo William’s current situation is very unfavorable, because whether it is Mayor Pauly or Simon’s side, they will definitely seize an important position in the city hall during Dakalo William’s redemption period. In the end, they may only get a few seats. seat of parliament.

This is unacceptable to them.

So they have to make a choice.

Mayor Poly has also approached them, hoping that they can help the nobles on Poly’s side win one or two councillors, and Mayor Poly is willing to exchange several important positions in the city hall.

In fact, Dakalo William and the others did not believe it, because there was a rift between the two sides before that.

After Dakalo William and others went back, they discussed for a long time how to choose between Mayor Poly and Simon. Their opinions could not be unified, and there was no result.

The ashtray in front of Dakarlo William was full of ashes. He snuffed out the cigars in his hands that were about to burn out, and said solemnly, "Everyone, I think Simon Gust is the choice."

"Why?"

Dakarlo William lit a cigar again and said solemnly: "At least Simon Gust is an upright knight."

"Just because of this?" The other people didn't wrinkle, and in their eyes, integrity was worth a few dollars.

"At least he won't break the contract for profit like Kentucky Weiss."

"William~lightnovelpub.net~ When did you believe in integrity? In the world of adults, the most important thing is the interests. As long as there are interests, you can do anything."

"Yeah, that's true, but our current situation is very passive and terrible, and the benefits you want cannot be obtained." Dakarlo William sighed.

"Let me choose, I will definitely choose Simon Gust, maybe he won't eat up all our interests. And he is also a person that the Templars value, and he may enter the Templar in the future. If you can get one in advance Future Templars, what is the benefit of a mere city of Fossa?"

"Whether he can enter the church or not is a different matter, but what is in front of us are real interests."

"The question now is whether you can get those benefits."

"Being valued by the Templars, at least it means that his character is fine."

"Not to mention the fact that he is valued by the Templars, that is, if he can cultivate the ability of a knight, it is worth our investment, isn't it? We have already missed it once, should we continue to miss it?"
