403, Great Power
Wang Zhaodi finally stood outside the gate of the ancient city, she looked at this quaint castle, and felt very shocked, because this castle was built very grandiosely, and built by the mountain, all kinds of buildings and mountain peaks cleverly linked, as if it grew on the mountain, and the whole mountain is integrated, anyone who sees this castle, has to admire the builder's ingenuity.
In front of the castle, there is a canyon, this canyon is not wide, only about fifty meters, but the canyon is very deep, bottomless, this canyon is the natural barrier of the castle, there is a suspension bridge on the castle, this bridge is all made of steel, pulled by a chain as thick as an arm, when the bridge is put down, Wang Zhaodi, who is standing on the edge of the canyon, can clearly hear the click of the mechanical gears, obviously pulling the bridge is a very heavy machine.
The bridge was put down, and Hui Ou led Wang Zhaodi and others into the castle, and after they entered the castle, the bridge was immediately put away.
The scene in the castle is not the same as Wang Zhaodi thought, because it is too deserted, and there are many streets inside, but basically no one walks on the streets, and occasionally a person appears, also an old man or a woman, and he is in a hurry, and he never talks to anyone.
Hui Ou directly brought Wang Zhaodi and others to the Council of Elders, and then she personally rang the bell on the roof of the Council of Elders building, and the bell remembered that the whole castle could hear this bell, so soon, all the elders gathered in the Council of Elders.
The auditorium of the presbyterian church was circular, with a pulpit in the middle, and then a circle full of chairs, with the chairs at the front being the lowest, and then gradually going back, and the chairs gradually rising, and so on and so on, that the whole auditorium could seat about five hundred people at the same time.
Hui Ou rang the bell, and the elders who rushed to the hall immediately filled the auditorium, Wang Zhaodi was a little surprised, she was obviously in the castle, and she didn't see how many people there were, but as soon as the bell rang, so many people gathered very quickly, she was very curious, where are these people hiding, do they all hide at home, don't they come out and move around?
Hui Ou stood in the center of the auditorium, there was a podium in front of her, there was a microphone on the podium, Hui Ou said into the microphone, "Elders, I have gathered you today, mainly for two things to announce, first, our wise and great Great Dean, back to our Ancient Continent!
After Hui Ou's words were finished, Wang Zhaodi and the fire guard commander walked up to the stage together and stood on both sides of Hui Ou.
The elders began to whisper, so there was a commotion in the auditorium, and after a while, it was quiet, and then an old man in white stood up and said, "The Great Dean needs the recognition of your five Ancient Martial Ancestors before she can inherit it, I want to ask, has she been approved by your five Ancient Martial Ancestors?"
Hui Ou nodded and said, "Yes, when she came, she brought the other four Ancient Martial Ancestors, and we invited them to the stage with applause!"
After Hui Ou finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding, so everyone applauded, Bingrui, Iron Wolf, Blacksmith and Ouyang Hu walked onto the stage in applause and stood beside Wang Zhaodi.
Hui Ou continued, "Since the four of them came with her, they must have recognized her identity as the dean, and I, in principle, can also recognize her identity as the dean, but I have one condition, only if she agrees to my conditions, I will support her, and she can ascend to the throne of the dean!"
Wang Zhaodi sneered, Hui Ou was obviously playing tricks, she guessed that her condition must be very difficult.
An old man in a blue robe walked out and handed a piece of paper to Hui Ou, who passed the paper to Wang Zhaodi, and said, "Look at it, what is written on this is my condition!"
Wang Zhaodi took the paper over, took a casual look, and found that he basically didn't know any of the words on it, so she handed the paper to the iron wolf and said, "Iron wolf, you can help me take a look!"
Iron Wolf stretched out his hand to take the paper, read it very quickly, and then said to Hui Ou with a solemn expression, "Hui Ou, your rules are too much, if you do this, what real power does the Great Dean have, if the Great Dean doesn't even have the power to command the ancient warriors to fight, then what else can she do, how can she save our Ancient Continent?"
Iron Wolf asked a few words, and Wang Zhaodi heard some signals, it turned out that Hui Ou put forward the condition to her to limit her power, to put it bluntly, that is, to give her a false name as a dean, but the actual power is still firmly grasped in Hui Ou's hands.
So Wang Zhaodi asked coldly, "Iron Wolf, tell me, did this piece of paper transfer all the power that originally belonged to me to Huiou?"
The iron wolf shook his head and said, "No, it restricts your power, but it doesn't directly give power to anyone, it stipulates that the ancient martial clan of the ancient continent, the highest power, belongs to the Council of Elders!"
Hui Ou didn't wait for Wang Zhaodi to have any answer, he had already rushed to say, "Yes, we have lost our own dean, it has been too long, after losing the dean, all our decisions are the collective decisions of the elders, we are used to handing over important matters to the elders' council for discussion and decision, we don't want to go back and hand over the rise and fall of our Guwu clan to a dean of unknown origin!"
Hui Ou's words immediately won the support of the majority of the elders of the council, but there were also a few people who opposed it, and these few people were precisely some highly respected elders, and they had a deeper understanding of the majesty of the Great Dean, so an elder wearing a golden robe stood up and said loudly, " I don't agree that the Council of Elders is above the Dean, I support the Dean's decision, and then hand the decision to the Council of Elders to discuss, whether it is feasible or not, after discussion, the Council of Elders can give some suggestions, but how to implement it, it is still up to the Dean to say it alone!"
The words of this elder were also supported by a small number of people, so the entire presbyterian church was divided into two gangs, one side supported the presbytery, the other side supported the dean, and the side that supported the presbyterian church was numerous, and the side that supported the dean, although the number was smaller, but they were all respected elders, so the two sides were evenly matched and disputed.
Now whether the supreme power belongs to the dean or to the council of elders is disputed, so there is no way to judge the fire guard commander who offended Wang Zhaodi, the elders argued for a morning, and did not argue a specific result, so everyone dispersed, Wang Zhaodi was arranged to live in the palace of the dean, this palace is very luxurious, but because no one has lived for a long time, so there is a lot of dust inside, more than a dozen slaves cleaned up for nearly an hour, and Wang Zhaodi and Xue Wu lived in.
The guards were also selected, these ancient warriors were all very strong warriors, in addition to their strong combat effectiveness, they also looked very good, so they were selected to be the guards of the Grand Dean's Palace.
Bingrui, Iron Wolf, Blacksmith and Ouyang Fox also lived in their own palaces, because as the ancestors of ancient martial arts, they also had a very noble status, and they also had their own palaces, although they were not as magnificent as Wang Zhaodi's style, but they were all very magnificent and magnificent.
