Early the next morning, Simon was called up and went to the City Hall Square with Stellan. By this time, a large number of citizens had gathered in the square.

Marquis Collins, Mayor Paoli, Dakaro William and others were able to arrive early.

After all the candidates had arrived, about half an hour passed before the vote-checking began.

"Lord Arthur, thank you for your hard work. You haven't slept all night. Do you want to take a rest?" Marquis Collins led everyone to bow to Anthony Arthur and thank him.

"No, don't keep the citizens of Fossa City waiting for too long. Check the tickets as soon as possible. I will supervise the whole process." Anthony Arthur said.

"Yes." Marquis Collins responded with his hands raised.

"Quick, let's enter the ballot checking process. All votes must be open and fair." Marquis Collins shouted.

He and the knights under the neutral nobles led the soldiers and police from Fossa City to start the ticket inspection process.

The sealed boxes were carried to the ten ticket checking stations one by one. The ticket checking work officially began. Ballots were taken out one by one, and then the counting began. Seven names can be written on each ballot, representing seven parliamentary seats. Citizens.

Seven members can be selected at one time, and then the names on each ballot are finally counted, and the top seven with the largest number will become the elected members.

After the votes are cast, recorders record them, and the final votes are announced and stored.

In this way, the votes are presented one by one in this way.

Mayor Pauli and the others are nervously waiting for the results, but at this stage of the counting process, Simon is the one who got the most votes, and Simon's name is on almost every ballot.

Regarding this situation, Mayor Pauli and the others were not surprised, because they had already determined that Simon would get a council seat.

Although there are ten ticket checking stations, there are too many ballots. Except for children who did not participate in the popular election, almost everyone in Fossa City participated. They started checking votes in the morning and were busy until eight o'clock in the evening. The ballots were only checked.

Less than half.

Today's vote checking process ends here. The remaining ballots have been sealed again and are under the care of Anthony Arthur. Ballot checking will continue tomorrow.

Today's ticket inspection records have been released.

Simon undoubtedly became today's vote leader, followed closely by Stellan, and then Dakaro William. Among the top seven, Mayor Pauli's side had two seats, and Viscount George's side also got one seat.

The remaining two belong to Dakaro William's side.

Today's situation is acceptable to Simon and the others, but it is not the most ideal result. The next step will be to see the voting results.

When Mayor Pauli saw this situation, he was in a bad mood. The situation that Simon and the others could accept was unacceptable to them.

But now that the democratic election has been decided, they can only pray to God to bless them.

However, God obviously did not favor them. During the next two days of vote checking, their votes continued to decline. In the end, only one person was ranked among the seven seats. Dakaro William's side got three seats. What was even more surprising was that Dakaro William's side got three seats.

Carlo William's votes actually surpassed Stern's and ranked second.

Viscount George's side got two.

The seven councilors were chosen exactly. Mayor Pauli's side was defeated, but Dakaro William's side got the biggest benefit. This was due to their very successful public relations on the day of the parade.

"We won, hahahaha..." Viscount George laughed. They only had two places, but they all got the seats of parliamentarians, and their interests were maximized.

"Knight Gust, thank you very much." Viscount George did not forget Simon's big project and thanked him excitedly.

Simon nodded with a smile.

Dakaro William's side was a little unhappy, because the positions of the two MPs should have belonged to them. But now it was a foregone conclusion. No matter how unhappy they were, there was nothing they could do. They stepped forward with smiles on their faces to celebrate their victory with Simon and the others.

Of course, Mayor Pauli was even more unhappy. Looking at Viscount George and his group who were celebrating excitedly, they all looked extremely ugly.

Mayor Pauli took a deep breath, rubbed his stiff face, forced a smile, and stepped forward to congratulate Simon and the others.

Marquis Collins also came over and suggested: "The popular election is over and the citizens haven't left yet. You should go up and meet the citizens on behalf of the new city hall at this time."

"Marquis Collins is right." Mayor Paulie nodded, looked at the other council members and said, "Everyone, let's go meet the citizens together."

Mayor Pauli pretended to smile and led the newly established council to perform their duties to the citizens. Mayor Pauli gave an official speech and won a lot of applause.

"Mayor, can I say a few words?" Edward whispered.

Mayor Pauli's expression changed. He knew that Edward was going to cause trouble again, but he couldn't stop him, so he could only nod with a forced smile.

Edward gave a speech, mainly to ensure the citizens how to develop the city of Fossa.

Dakaro William and Viscount George also made similar speeches, which they had discussed in advance.

However, the councilor on Mayor Pauli's side also prepared the content of his speech and made temporary changes, but he was not outdone by Edward and the others.

The guarantees and promises made the citizens of Fossa City very excited, and the entire Fossa City fell into an extremely lively atmosphere, as if everyone saw the bright future that was about to come.

Finally, Mayor Pauli announced the end of the popular election. The citizens were still cheering and slowly dispersed after about an hour. However, all the pubs in Fossa City were full and very lively. Tonight was destined to be a lively night.

.

Simon and the others also held a banquet that night to celebrate this great victory.

After the parliament was formally established, Marquis Collins and others were also preparing to return to the capital. Dakaro William and half of George's group stayed behind to take charge of follow-up matters. The others returned to the capital to allocate resources and prepare to deeply cultivate Fossa City.

.

On the eve of leaving, a dark figure sneaked into the house of the Murkdo family quietly without anyone noticing.

In Spier Mercado's study, Spier Mercado was reading a book. He raised his head, frowned, and his expression became serious: "Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and no one expected that the person who sneaked in secretly was the Templar Knight Anthony Arthur.

"The noble Templar actually sneaked into my house like a thief. Arthur, why did you come to my house?" Spier Mercado said with a solemn expression.

"I want to see you before I leave," Anthony Arthur said calmly.

"You can come in openly."

"I don't want others to see it."

"I thought you would come to me on the first day you came to Fossa City."

"It's the same as the first day and the last day."
