Chapter 1634 1629: Parliamentary Spokesperson
But Su Chen was unwilling to accept overly harsh conditions.Yet the next words from Karloki left Su Chen stunned.
"There are a total of fifty-five seats in the Dark Council, with the Bloodline holding twenty-seven of them, and the Nopheler Family holding two!"
"What are you trying to say?!" Though Su Chen had a bold guess in his heart, he still wanted to hear the news he had been anticipating directly from Karloki.
"I, Karloki Nopheler, sincerely invite the esteemed Mr. Death God to become the representative of the Nopheler Family in the Dark Council!" Karloki's face was earnest, and his eyes burned with a fire called ambition.
"Boom!" Even if Su Chen was usually calm, his mind felt a bit blown at this moment.
A member of the Dark Council, him?
If this had been ten days ago, he would have thought this was utterly absurd, but now it was undeniably real before him.
Previously, he felt that Nopheler Family's significant gift had a major motive behind it, and indeed, their scheme was indeed grand!
They were plotting something within the Dark Council.
Su Chen just didn't know what in the Dark Council was worth scheming by the Bloodline.
For a moment, Su Chen was stunned, unsure how to respond to the offer.
Perhaps Su Chen's hesitation lasted too long, as the fire of ambition in Karloki's eyes gradually extinguished, prompting him to gaze at Su Chen with slightly heavy eyes: "Is there something troubling you, Mr. Death God?"
After a moment, Su Chen lifted his head and said: "This... I may not be able to do it; you know, I can't stay here long."
Su Chen shook his head, unwilling to waste much time on a so-called Dark Council, especially considering he had many things to do and many people waiting for him far away...
Upon hearing this reason, Karloki breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly: "If that's the reason, then Mr. Death God needn't worry. The Dark Council doesn't require constant presence; representatives must stay in Dark City to receive and transmit information to the council members. You'll understand once you become a member."
"Huh?" Su Chen still didn't understand when he heard this. If that's the case, what's the difference between being the Nopheler Family's representative and a council member?
Isn't he still just a Guest Elder of the Nopheler Family?
"Haha, my dear Mr. Death God, you probably don't know about the voting mechanism of the Dark Council. If you and my uncle become the council members for the Nopheler Family, then the two council votes of the Nopheler Family will hold genuine power!" Harlow timely interjected to explain.
Through Harlow and Karloki's explanations, he gradually understood the current state of the Dark Council.
It's been so long since the millennium war with the Bright Church ended, with a long-standing peace, and most of the powerful warriors who participated in the holy war are now in slumber,
Now, the ones in power are no longer those terrifying entities with immense power.
Instead, the ones holding influence are a group of minor characters, many of whom aren't even Dukes or Wolf Kings.
Previously, the Nopheler Family only stationed two third-class Marquises in Dark City.
But with the unexpected awakening of Duke Karloki, the Nopheler Family was driven to seek power and influence within the Dark Council.
Given the strength of Karloki Nopheler, coupled with Su Chen who is comparable to a Third-class Duke and a High Rank Saint, teaming up, they could easily handle a Second-class Duke.
Moreover, Karloki sensed a dangerous aura from Su Chen, deducing that in alliance, they could potentially maneuver even against a First-class Duke, even if it was just for a short while.
For all these reasons,
The Nopheler Family was willing to go to great lengths to bind Su Chen and the Nopheler Family together.
Is an Ancient Weapon really that expensive?
Once Su Chen becomes the representative of the Nopheler Family in the Dark Council, and Karloki becomes the other council member of the Nopheler Family as a Duke.
The influence would be far from a simple one plus one equals two!
The Dark Council isn't what it seems on the surface; even though it's not as strong as before right now, there are many alluring things buried in Dark City's Dark Council.
The Black Magic compiled by dozens of Witch Demon Kings and various legendary treasures, is it not a temptation?
Even some Blood Princes have left their treasures in Dark City.
Although these are legends, as a firsthand witness, Karloki has seen the existence of some things.
He knows that some rumors might indeed be exaggerated.
But they're not completely fabricated out of thin air.
At least some collections are actually present within Dark City, where many witches transformed from Human Wizards have lived for ages, conducting endless experiments and research, incomprehensible to others.
Even a spark of inspiration from them, taken to the world of humans, is a priceless gem.
Karloki wants to gain influence within the Dark Council to secure strong speech power for the Nopheler Family, but he also has other objectives.
Before the war with the Bright Church, a secret meeting was held by the Dark Council, but few truly knew the meeting's contents.
Karloki was one of those few.
He knows that in the current Dark Council, not only are there numerous black magics left by witches, but also Ancient Weapons from Witch Demon Kings, and the Blood Clan's Secret Treasure which is incredibly vital to him!
Each of the Blood Clan's Thirteen Clans possesses a Holy Artifact, but the holy artifacts were all lost during the millennium holy war.
Due to the millennium holy war to combat main fighters of the Bright Church.
The Blood Clan concentrated the holy artifacts of thirteen clans, empowering a few Blood Princes, allowing their strength to temporarily reach unimaginable peaks.
This was sufficient for them to clash with the Pope of the Bright Church bearing the Holy Artifact, the man known as Iron-blooded Pope.
But the outcome was evident.
They lost, four against one, all thirteen holy artifacts lost, none of the Blood Princes who faced Emorris Kasa III survived!
Yet Karloki Nopheler knows that in actuality, not all the Bloodline's Holy Artifacts were lost.
One Holy Artifact is currently hidden in Dark City!
However, ordinary people have no right to access it.
Karloki not only aims to become a council member with real power, he also wants to control the current Dark Council.
Su Chen has undoubtedly become his most crucial ally now.
Therefore, he must win Su Chen over.
