Chapter XVIII Visits and Invitations

On the second day, Haotian visited the city of Neftis under the leadership of Kane and Lukoshana, and had a clear understanding of the current situation of the elf clan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The goblin clan is still in a relatively primitive society, using water, jerky, camels, etc. as the equivalent of exchange, and currency has not yet been born. They live on oases in the desert, and the elves that live around oases of different sizes vary in size, the smallest is a village with 100 elves, the larger is the medium tribe with 500-1000 elves, and the largest is the large oasis of the three major tribes and Neftis that can support 3000-5000 elves.

The strongest person in the village is generally the [Village Chief], which is equivalent to the [Triangle Level] of humans. And in the middle tribe, there will be [Wise Men], which is equivalent to the [Quartet Level] of human beings. The three major tribes once had the existence of [sages], and at the peak of 6,000 years ago, there were a total of 7 sages, and now only Poonute of the El tribe is left.

And the founder of Neftis is the [Brave] Sasha of the goblin clan, and the council was also established under the leadership of Sasha, and Sasha is also the first speaker, and her descendants also serve as speakers.

After visiting Neftis, Haotian finally came to the seat of the council.

The council hall is made of white marble, which is extremely rare in the desert, and there are 1 slightly thicker and 7 slightly thinner marble pillars about the size of 5 people in front of the main building, representing the "Brave" and "7 Sage". Originally, he wanted to carve into the appearance of the first generation of [Brave] and [Sage], but this was vetoed by Sasha.

When not in session, the council hall is also open to general goblins, for a fee. After Kane paid 30 portions of water, he led Haotian and Lukoshana inside. Naturally, there is not so much clear water that Kane carries with him, and those clear waters are transformed by Haotian with magic power, and Kane is still a little reluctant when he turns out this clear water, but he is not dissatisfied when he spends it.

Inside the hall is a large circular meeting hall, recessed from the outside in.

In the center is a platform about 10 meters in circumference, topped by a stone podium. That is the position of the Speaker, the Speaker of the Council, where the Speaker counts the votes, and more than 2/3 of the resolutions will be implemented. Although the speaker does not have the right to vote, he has the right to veto, and even if the other members of the parliament approve the issue, he can make it not pass and not carry it out. This veto has been used only three times in history, and each time it has been proven correct later.

There are 7 evenly spaced stone chairs on the closest to the platform, which are reserved for the Sage. Theoretically, every time there is an independent breakthrough [Sage], another chair will be built, but no new [Sage] has appeared for 6,000 years; In addition to the original 7 [Sages], the later sages are all [Sages] who inherit the power of the 7 [Sages] and become [Sages]. The Sages also have privileges, and the resolutions passed by the Sages can be executed, except for the Fairy Meeting, which is attended by all members of the Council every 5 years. This was called the Council of the Sages in 6,000, and over time, the membership of the Council of the Sages gradually decreased, with 2 members dating back 500 years. In an age when there is only one Sage, Poonute can represent the Council of Sages.

Outside is a circle of wooden curved benches, where the councillors are located. Each village can send 1 or 2 councillors, each medium-sized tribe can send 5-10 councillors, each large tribe can send 30-50, and there is 1 place for every 100 goblins, and more than 50 people for less than 100 are counted as a quota. According to Kane, who has participated in three consecutive sessions of the [Elven Conference] since becoming the head of Haisa Village, the total number of councillors in the first three sessions was 296, 288, and 276, respectively.

Kane and Lukoshana visited the council grounds, their faces solemn, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, looking very awe-inspiring. Haotian didn't have any special feelings.

After leaving the council hall, Haotian said to Kane, "Can you take me to meet the [Brave]?" ”

Lucosana's eyes lit up: "I also want to meet the [Brave], I wonder what the descendants of Sasha [Brave] are like?" Uncle Kane. ”

Kane looked embarrassed: "Although I have participated in the [Fairy Meeting], I have only seen the [Brave] from afar, he is still wearing armor and a helmet, and I don't know what the [Brave] looks like." ”

"I heard that the residence of [the Brave] is a small oasis near Neftys, and only a few elves know the location. If you want to meet the [Brave], don't say that I am a [Village Chief], even ordinary [Wise Men] will not be accepted. ”

"Since you can't see the [Brave], it's no fun to stay here any longer." Haotian frowned.

"That's him. When he came to my store yesterday, he must have absorbed the vitality of the sand core. ”

There was a sound of footsteps, and the female goblins I had seen yesterday led a group of goblins running over.

A total of 7 goblins surrounded the three of Haotian, and the 6 young goblins stared at Lukoshana with a look of amazement. This made the banshee jealous and cursed inwardly, little vixen.

The first middle-aged male goblin stared at Haotian and asked coldly, "It's you, who stole the vitality of that sand core?!" ”

Haotian glanced at the female goblin, and she smiled sarcastically at Haotian triumphantly.

"Don't think that you are a [Wise Man] and can do whatever you want in Neftis, Big Brother Miggett is also a [Wise Man], and he is an elite who has been selected as a member of the [Life Guardian]. The sand core you damaged yesterday is something that Big Brother Miggette has taken a fancy to. ”

"Brother Migot, this foreign goblin doesn't know each other, so please arrest him and put him in the sand prison, and let him pick the vermilion fruit and collect the sand core for our Neftis."

The middle-aged goblin Migett was noncommittal. Although there are many [wise] levels in the goblin clan, there is no point where it can be used as labor for mining, and it is too late to win over such talents.

Generally speaking, the Wise rank is subordinate to the chiefs of each large or medium tribe. However, as a member of the [Life Guardian], he has an understanding of the [Wise Men] of the three major tribes and the seven medium tribes, and there is no male [Wise Man] with such a young appearance. Could it be that those small villages were lucky enough to have a wise man? In that case, it would be best to have him join us as Life Keepers before the other big tribes co-opt him.

"You're Kane Haysa's nephew? You Haisa Village are really lucky, and there is actually a [wise man]. I can call the shots, let your nephew join us [Life Guardian], and in the future, every year in your Haisa Village, you can go to Neftis to receive 50 people a year's worth of water and dry food. ”

"Big Brother Miggett?" The goblin was surprised.

It is not surprising that the young goblins who came with him are not surprising, although the [Life Guardian] claims to be subordinate to the council, but most of the nominal powerhouses are goblins of the three major tribes, how can they listen to the council's dispatch when the council conflicts with the three major tribes. Moreover, the 3 [Great Wise Men] are the chiefs of the three major tribes, and 7 of the other 10 [Wise Men] belong to the three major tribes, and only 3 of them really obey the orders of the Speaker of the Council and the [Brave]. It would be nice to have one more [Wise Man].

"I refuse." Haotian is not a goblin, how can he be interested in joining the [Life Guardian].

But Lukoshana looked excited, and she couldn't wait to join in on her own. After Haotian refused, he showed a depressed look.
