Leo and Chris each have three supporters, plus he has four votes, which is not enough for half, let alone the absolute majority of two-thirds.
In addition to their respective supporters, there are four astrologers who remain neutral and have not yet expressed their stance, but they are definitely trying to win over.
This means that both candidates have more than five votes in support.
As long as Egilina makes her position clear, the winner will be revealed.
Unless he chooses to solve his competitor on a physical level, he can only win more support, so Leo cares about Egilina's attitude.
The reason why Egilina did not express her opinion was simple.
The teacher had just passed away without leaving a will. She would have to spend some time looking for the will or ascertaining the teacher's thoughts through other relics.
For example, a diary.
Although serious people don't keep diaries, Stevenson was seven hundred years old and married a nineteen-year-old wife, so he couldn't be considered a serious person no matter how you think about it. Maybe he did write one?
Egelina's reasons were very legitimate and no one could find fault with them. Roland's statement was flawless and it seemed like he had said everything but in fact he had said nothing.
After Leo sent the two to the library, he could only stop and close his eyes in thought.
After a long time, he finally had an epiphany.
People always need some benefits when doing things.
What are the benefits of Egelina and Roland?
Of course, it is not his empty promise, but real benefits.
For example, higher seats and more practical benefits.
Leo nodded with satisfaction and thought of the conditions that would impress Egilina.
Roland didn't care about the power within the Stargazing Society, so he just needed to move his seat forward a little. Egilina was the former chief's disciple, so it was reasonable for her to replace Chris, who was blind.
He was the chief, Egelina was the second, and Roland replaced one of Chris's supporters and became the seventh or ninth seat, and everyone was happy.
The only faction that was unwilling to do so was probably Chris's.
But they are bound to fail, so who cares what they think.
After realizing this, Leo turned and left, continuing to find ways to win over people from the neutral faction, and urging several hired masters to come as soon as possible.
Although he didn't want to see a river of blood, he was not afraid if it happened.
He spent half of his wealth and hired three sixth-level warriors, plus himself. With four sixth-level warriors, are you afraid that you can't win this battle?
As long as you seize the position of the chief of the Stargazing Club, you can earn back any amount of money you spend.
Leo's mouth was watering at the thought of the huge inheritance of old man Stevenson.
In addition to the huge amount of wealth, what is even more valuable is the Observatory.
The value of this artifact exceeds all his wealth.
Unfortunately, he did not designate a successor when he died, so the artifact is still floating in the air and no one can obtain it.
Thinking of this, Leo felt a little regretful.
He has no chance of obtaining the artifact.
After learning of Stevenson's death, almost all astrologers tried to claim the artifact as their master, but unsurprisingly all failed.
Stevenson is at the peak of level six, and he can only barely be recognized. Other astrologers are either barely at level six or level five, the gap is too big.
Under normal circumstances, if one wants to fully control a divine weapon, one must possess divine power, which is the demigod realm.
In a short period of time, Leo gave up the idea of collecting the artifact and instead turned to fighting for the top spot through power struggle.
As long as you become the chief and continue to transform resources into strength, you may succeed in a few years.
Chris had similar thoughts to Leo.
Since it is impossible to obtain the artifact, the only option is to use power struggle as a means of obtaining it.
His strength is almost the same as Leo, but far above the fourth place.
The fourth seat [Star Ring] has no strength to compete for it, and I am also obsessed with research and have a non-confrontational personality, so I am not a threat to him.
[Star Ring] The warlock neither fought nor took sides, he just kept on playing badly, so Leo and Chris simply didn't bother to pay any attention to him.
No matter who comes to power, his status will not change, so let him be.
[Star Ring] has the qualifications to not take sides, Egilina has reasons to delay her choice, but others do not.
They all received an ultimatum from Leo and Chris.
You must choose a side before the next [Star Meeting] begins, otherwise you will be regarded as an enemy.
Standing in the middle of a battlefield does not necessarily mean you can remain neutral; you may end up offending both sides.
Although these astrologers found various reasons to delay, they also knew that the [Star Conference] was the deadline.
Who are you standing with?
It's a painful choice.
Failure to choose a side does not necessarily mean death, but your status within the Stargazing Society will plummet, and you may even be accused of having bad intentions and be expelled directly.
You are unwilling to stand on the side of the new leader. Isn't this a case of ill intention?
This isn't entirely an accusation.
Just like that, when Egilina arrived at the Star Palace, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The second person to find Egilina was Chris.
As another qualified candidate for the top spot, it would be strange if he didn't come.
However, unlike Leo, Chris never mentioned the matter of inheriting the chief position from beginning to end. He sincerely expressed his condolences to Egilina and gave her a gift.
A box left behind by Stevenson.
"I can swear to the Star Goddess that I did not open the box. I think you are more qualified."
After saying this, Chris did not stay and left directly.
Looking at his back, Egilina's eyes were a little complicated.
Compared to Leo's direct solicitation, Chris mainly plays the emotional card.
In the strength competition with Leo, he is the weaker party.
The conditions he could offer were similar to Leo's, but his winning rate was lower. No matter how you looked at it, there was no reason for Egilina to choose him.
In this case, let’s not talk about conditions, but about feelings.
Although there was no negotiation, he still tactfully told Egilina that the price he offered would never be lower than Leo's.
Watching Chris's gradually disappearing back, stroking the small box that exuded an ancient atmosphere, Egilina laughed at herself:
"I used to think that the Astronomical Society was a purely academic organization, and that its power was only to ensure that everyone could study astrology with peace of mind."
"I was too naive."
Egelina's self-mockery made Roland burst out laughing.
"I am a little surprised that Miss [Rose] also has such an innocent side."
"Are you surprised?"
Egilina raised her eyebrows slightly, then laughed at herself.
"Yeah, being in my position, yet still being so naive, I'm making a fool of myself."
Roland knew that she was in an unstable mood, so he stopped talking about this topic and reminded her:
"Now that you have this box, why not open it and give it a try?"
"it is good."
Egilina also needed to find something to do to distract herself.
For example, unboxing.
No matter when, unboxing is always an exciting and anticipated experience.
Egilina injected magic power into the box and tried to break the seal.
The box has three layers of seals in total.
The first level requires a strength of level five or above and can be passed easily.
Just a few months ago, Egilina, who had been practicing diligently, touched the threshold of the sixth level. Although she did not break through on the spot, she was not far away.
Roland exchanged several astrology-specific treasures to help her practice, bringing her closer and closer to a breakthrough.
The second seal is a classic astrological puzzle.
Although this question is difficult, it is nothing to the astrologer. It is only used to prevent outsiders from forcibly opening the seal.
Egilina thought for a moment and used the classic deconstruction method taught by her teacher to solve the problem.
Then came the third seal.
You need to enter a numeric password and you can try multiple times, but each attempt will extend the waiting time.
Egilina was the first to enter her teacher's birthday, but unsurprisingly failed.
Then she tried to enter the birthday of her teacher's widow, but failed again.
Her expression was a little complicated. In the teacher's mind, is Luna not even worthy of being a password?
Seeing that she was about to think of something wrong again, Roland smiled and reminded her: "If you can think of the password, most people can think of it too. The birthdays of the teacher and Luna are not a secret."
"That's right, then I don't have to try on my birthday."
Having said that, Egilina quickly entered her birthday.
No surprise, still wrong.
Although she knew this would be the result, she was still a little frustrated.
"Look, I told you I wouldn't use such a simple password."
Roland's half-joking words eased Egelina's loss a lot.
Yes, using the birthday of someone you are too close to as a password is too easy to crack.
After several failed attempts, each attempt to open it now takes more than a quarter of an hour, and the time cost of each attempt continues to rise.
Egilina was somewhat annoyed that she couldn't open it even though it was right in front of her.
Just when she was getting quite annoyed, Roland remembered a magical number and reminded her softly:
"Why not try the magic 123456?"
Volume 231: The City of Freedom: Chapter Silly child, don’t come!
123456 is the password combination with the highest repetition rate. The only passwords that can compete with it are heavyweights like 123123 and abcabc.
Although Roland's suggestion seemed outrageous, Egilina was already at a loss. Any suggestion was good at this time, and she was willing to give it a try.
With the mentality of giving it a try, I entered 123456, and the small box magically opened.
I opened the box and saw several notebooks neatly arranged inside.
It seems that Mr. Stevenson is indeed not a serious person, he really keeps a diary.
These diaries were obviously carefully selected because Mr. Stevenson's attitude towards women was too restrained.
There is no record of such true feelings as "XX girl's thighs are so white, I want to know it through."
What kind of diary is it if it doesn’t have any voice!
This is clearly a note with a filter to convey information to Egilina.
Roland secretly complained.
Of course, he would never expose Mr. Stevenson.
This is a tacit understanding between men.
The dead are the greatest, and it is despicable to speak ill of the dead.
Egelina didn't understand men as well as Roland did, and her eyes were already blurred with tears.
