Chapter 924： Lord of the City

Shortly after.

The central command hall of the lighthouse.

The hall is still the same as when Arthur first arrived, but the sunlight shining into the hall changed from the original afterglow to the morning sun.

Morgan sat in the seat of the city lord on the platform, and Victor stood beside Morgan's left hand.

The number of people in the lower hall was reduced by half, with only five people including Charles, Jingnan, Mark, Elon and Arthur.

Aside from Arthur, the remaining four are currently in charge of the main positions. Even if Elon is going to participate in the expedition ceremony tomorrow, he is still the instructor of the hunters today.

As for Arthur, although he does not have a specific position, he is currently only a civilian, but he is a person with military power.

Moreover, Arthur's military power also had a decisive influence on the lighthouse, and Morgan had to call him too.

At the same time, the five people standing below had different expressions.

Despite Charles' restraint, his eyes revealed extreme unwillingness.

Jingnan had a slight smile on his face, and from time to time he used his leftover light to glance at Arthur, who was standing on the far right.

Mark and Elon still had the same old-fashioned demeanor, but Arthur seemed to have nothing to do, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Hey..." At this moment, Morgan, with an old face, sighed first, and then said to the five people below:

"I am calling you here today because I want to announce something to you, ahem..."

With that, Morgan couldn't stop coughing.

"My Lord Santo..."

Seeing Morgan covering his mouth and coughing, Victor, who was standing aside, quickly stepped forward and patted Morgan's back with the right hand of the prosthesis so that Morgan could breathe normally.

Finding that Morgan's body seemed to be very weak, both Jingnan and Mark showed an expression of worry, and then Charles also pretended to show concern:

"My Lord, are you all right."

"I... it's okay." After a few seconds, Morgan raised his hand and gently pushed Victor away.

After Victor stood guard again, Morgan, with an unusually ruddy face, breathed heavily, and said in a deep voice:

"As you can see, my body is not as good as before, and I will participate in the expedition ceremony soon, but the course of the lighthouse is still very long. It's time for young people to take the helm."

Morgan's words fell, and none of the five people in the hall had a big reaction, as if they had expected Morgan to say this a long time ago.

Immediately afterwards, Morgan stared at Nan with a slightly deep intention, and then raised his voice to the people:

"Recently, the lighthouse has been circulating about Captain Mark's upcoming succession to the throne. Although I haven't found out where it first came from, I want to tell you that this is not a rumor."

With that said, Morgan got up to the edge of the platform, solemnly said with his hands behind his back:

"I hereby announce that Mark will succeed as the lord of the city. If there is no objection, the handover ceremony will be held in seven days."

"..." (x4)

Jingnan, Mark, and Elon had no objections, and Charles had a private conversation with Morgan yesterday, and he was mentally prepared for a long time. Naturally, he would not go astray as in the play.

"Woo..."

But Arthur's face grew indifferent, and he didn't seem to worry about who would be the lord of the city at all.

But Morgan's next words made Charles no longer able to remain calm.

Morgan looked at Mark, smiled like an elder, and said:

"Mark, if you are allowed to take care of the light and shadow club at the same time as you succeed to the throne, can you do it?"

"This..." Mark's face was tangled.

"What?!" Charles was hysterical.

For Charles, since he could not succeed to the throne from Morgan in a reasonable way, he secretly used some dirty means to succeed him.

But being deprived of the position of the head of the Light and Shadow Society is more uncomfortable and painful than killing Charles.

Because once he loses the first position of the meeting, Charles will lose not only his power, but also the capital to calculate Mark.

Know the son Mo Ruo father.

No matter how good Charles pretended to be, Morgan knew what his qualities were.

In the play, Morgan is definitely not simply thinking about his son, and asking Charles to accompany him in his old age is so simple, in fact, to **** Mark.

But as shrewd as Morgan did not count, this very old man is actually a ‘great filial son’.

"Why! Why! Father! Why did you do this!!! Am I so unbearable?! Am I nothing in your eyes?!"

Charles yelled out of irritation, his expression, demeanor, and demeanor were no longer as calm as before.

However, as Charles shouted, tears flickered in the corners of his eyes, and his nasal voice was very strong, as if he couldn't help crying.

In fact, Charles is not in a complete gaffe, but wants to use the relationship between father and son to try to retain him for the last time.

Anyway, Arthur was an outsider at the scene.

Sure enough, after looking at Charles, who was like the Oscar actor, Morgan revealed a bit of unbearable expression on his face, but for the humans on the lighthouse, he still resolutely said coldly:

"Pay attention to the occasion. Also, the relationship between the old world is not allowed to be mentioned on the lighthouse. I hope the head of the conference will not forget this."

"Yes, I see, Lord City Lord." Charles retreated with a lonely expression.

"..." Morgan looked at Charles in silence for a few seconds, and waved his hand:

"Well, everyone except Charles, go down and prepare for tomorrow's far traveler..."

"City Lord."

At this time, Arthur, who had been on-hook, finally went online again, interrupting Morgan's words:

"I don't approve of the rule of the ritual of traveling. I suggest that this so-called ritual of seeking truth be cancelled."

"Oh? Tell me your reason."

Morgan did not refuse, but looked forward to Arthur's answer.

Just watch Arthur slowly stepped forward, cleared his throat, and said:

"The city lord, and everyone present, said that the journey is to seek the truth, but we all know the real purpose, and that is to reduce the material consumption of the lighthouse.

The root cause of this is that every time a wilderness hunter searches for supplies from the ground, he always faces the danger of annihilation of the entire army.

But now, the lighthouse will no longer face the problem of lack of resources, because to me and my subordinates, the polar-chewer beasts are just a group of movable meat. "

With that said, Arthur turned his head to look at Mark behind him, and asked:

"Captain Mark you have also witnessed our strength with your own eyes. I guess you won't question what I just said."

"Yes." Mark also stepped forward at this time and said to Morgan:

"My Lord, if Mr. Russell and his men assist us hunters, then the lighthouse will never face the problem of exhaustion of resources."

"Hmm..." Seeing that Mark also agreed with Arthur's words, Morgan was lost in thought, and nodded after a while:

"Well, tomorrow I will announce the cancellation of the long trip in public, and at the same time I will announce the news that Mark is about to succeed the city lord, one more thing...

(Look at Arthur)

Mr. Russell, do you mean to join the hunter? "

Arthur shrugged and said, "Sao Rui, I said at the beginning that it was assistance. I will not join any forces or troops.

I just want to have better living conditions before I can return to my universe, so I can help by the way, that's all. "
