106, Senate

Royer, Zehi, and Cesare may not know who Janet is, but Major gets to know several people involved with Adam when he arrives in Griffon, including Janet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Two years ago, Janet was an ordinary adventurer in Griffon City, and her strength was even more mediocre Black Iron Rank, and in just two years, the trajectory of her life has changed dramatically, not only has her strength been raised to the Bronze Rank, but it is said that now all the affairs of the Griffon City City Lord's Mansion are taken care of by her. There is also gossip that after the establishment of the royal palace and the coronation of Adam as king, Janet is very likely to become the countess who oversees the affairs of the court. In addition, Janet has another identity, the wife of Aras, the first consul of the Duchy of Griffons (although they did not have a wedding).

So when they heard that Janet was visiting, Major knew that they would immediately get the exact arrangement and time of the Grand Duke of the Griffon's reception from the visiting lady.

Things were just as Major had expected, and Janet, who had been rejuvenated, smiled and informed the four: "The Grand Duke has decided to meet the four in the Senate in the morning of three days. "This senate is an address, a temporary office space converted from an auditorium. Whether it is the royal palace, the senate, or the government palace, it will be built after the unification of the whole of Celt. Unbeknownst to Adam, he did so to gain him a great deal of fame in the Duchy of Griffons, and behold, how enlightened their Grand Duke was.

"Thank you for your message, ma'am. We will definitely go to the Senate on time to meet the Grand Duke Griffon. Although Janet, who was sitting across from him, was a whole notch behind him, Major did not take it lightly.

Three days later, in the Senate, the four Major finally met Adam, the Grand Duke of Griffon, himself. They had heard Adam's name more than once before, and they knew that this 19-year-old young master of the Everwin family had a grudge against the two largest forces in the Light Realm, the Dawn Church and the Silver Tower, and was playing with the entire Celtics. Yes, they do have this idea, the griffon principality on Adam's side, and the noble council forcibly taken over by the Church of Dawn are bargaining chips for both sides. As a result, it was clear that the Church of the Dawn and the Silver Tower suffered heavy losses, and Adam became the final winner of the battle.

Although there were legendary masters in the Senate, Andrew, Grand Duchess Isabella, First Archon Arras, a fat man, and the six senators, the moment the four of Major entered the hall, they all focused on Adam, who was sitting on the side.

As young and handsome as rumored, this was their first impression. The powerful strength of the golden rank made this blonde-haired and blue-eyed young man exude a confident charm all over his body. Appearance, family background, strength, power, and the graceful and beautiful Grand Duchess Isabella, who was also a golden archmage, sat beside him, and this young man was like an illegitimate child of God, and easily obtained what others could not expect even if they had struggled all their lives.

"Major (Royer, Zehi, Cesare) salute you, great Archduke Griffon!" Since Adam did not add any modifiers to his title as Archduke the Griffon, Major only preceded his salute with a great sign of respect.

"Hopefully Griffons haven't let you down." They saw the young griffon archduke nod slightly in response.

"She's beautiful and powerful, and she's going to shine completely new as the heart of Celtic, we all agree." This is not a special compliment from Major, as Adam's first foundation in Celtic, and with the name of Griffon, Griffon's City must be the capital of a kingdom in the future, as famous as Glenn of Frans, Gaia of Sock, and Red Keep of Romano.

"Very good, then let's get down to business." Adam had no intention of introducing them to the rest of the hall, clapping his hands. Four priests walked in from outside the hall, each holding a tray with a golden badge on it.

Major knew that it was the priests of the Sun God, and each of them possessed the strength of the Silver Intermediate Rank. As they had guessed, the relationship between the Church of the Sun God and the Grand Duke of Griffin was so close that the legendary master Simon called him the same as the guardian knight Andrew. And the priests who were God's priests were extremely loyal to Adam's commands as oracles. You must know that in other churches, even the king needs to apply in advance if he wants to mobilize the power of the church, and there is no such wanton as Adam.

As the four priests stood in front of the four majors, Adam stood up, and the rest of the hall followed suit.

"Swear to the sun god, Major, Royer, Zehi, Cesare, are you loyal to me unreservedly and will not betray you for the rest of your life?"

"Swear to the sun god that from now on, I will be loyal to the Grand Duke of Griffin and will never betray!" The four of them knelt down on one knee and replied in unison.

"I ask you, in the name of the Grand Duke of Griffon, Major, Royer, Zehi, Cesare, will you be my man, as the patriarch of the Duchy of Griffon, and fulfill your obligations?"

The moment they heard this, the four of them were stunned for nearly two seconds before they reacted and replied loudly: "I do!" ”

The four priests handed the coat of arms in the tray to the four majors, a symbol of their status as the patriarch of the Duchy of Griffon. Major took the gold badge and found a griffon on the front and a sun cross on the reverse, symbolizing the Duchy of Griffin and the Church of the Sun God.

The result was so unexpected that Adam would have been generous in allowing them to return to the south as the lord of a city. Who would have thought that the other party would directly give the position of the patriarch! Although the senators of the Duchy of Griffin do not have direct administrative powers, they have a lot of glory and power, and the entire legislative system of the principality is in the hands of the Senate, in addition to the power to discuss politics and make recommendations.

This decision was made after a morning of deliberations between Adam and Arras and the Senate.

The fact that the four of Major were able to decisively resist the Church of the Dawn and purge the Church of the Church in Yoman before the final battle began to show favor to Adam was certainly not to treat them badly, which was the first reason for Adam's decision.

The second reason was that it would speed up Adam's rule over the southern region with the help of four men. The four of them, especially Major, are the speakers of the noble council, and his prestige and reputation in the south are quite good, and the four members of the noble council are accepted to become the senators to represent the confluence of the north and the south, and all power is concentrated in the hands of Adam, so as to complete the peaceful unification of Celtic from the general trend, eliminate the possibility of the south continuing to fight, and make it easier for the people in the south to accept the rule of the Duchy of Griffon.

Taking over the Council of Nobles without spending a single soldier and without any loss is many times more clever than Gavin forcibly taking over the Council of Nobles by force. By the way, he can also win a good reputation in the mouths of the people in the south and buy people's hearts, and all he paid was the position of the four patriarchs, so that the four of them would stay in Griffon City for the rest of their lives, thanking Dade for helping him give advice and share state affairs.

It was a very good deal, and Adam was very satisfied.

"There's one more thing to announce." Adam looked at the chubby merchant, and his two small eyes disappeared into a smile on his face.

Arras knew what Adam was about to announce, granting the Duchy of Martin Griffin the rank of Minister of Commerce. After the establishment of the Duchy of Griffon, each city of the original Seven-City Federation had an Archon (usually concurrently held by the city lord), a treasurer, a commerce officer, a construction officer, etc., and at the national level, these positions corresponded to the first consul, the finance minister, the commerce minister, and the construction minister.

By the way, after nearly three months of training, Arras finally managed to advance to the bronze rank a few days ago, and there was an extra Dou Qi seed in his body. He was thrilled by this, even though he was still the least powerful one in the center of power.

To be honest, Arras was a little unhappy about the fact that Martin was about to become Minister of Commerce and Trade of the Duchy of Griffon, well, maybe a little more. Because he had volunteered to become Martin's mercenary and behaved rather embarrassed. If Adam hadn't helped, he would have been buried in the ogre's mouth. So every time he saw Martin, he would think of that unbearable past, and he wanted to erase that period of history from the long river of time. It's a pity that he doesn't have that ability, so he can only bury this matter in his heart.

Janet, who had been with her for a long time, soon noticed his anomaly and enlightened him: "You are the first consul of the Duchy of Griffon, and Martin is only the Minister of Commerce and Trade in the administrative system. In terms of official positions, the first consul is above the Minister of Commerce and Trade. In terms of strength, you are now a bronze warrior, and Martin is just an ordinary person. If I want me to be embarrassed, it should be Martin, the adventurer he once looked down on is now in his head. I don't understand why you're upset? Just because you used to be his mercenary? ”

Arras patted his head and felt that this was indeed the truth.

So when Adam announced that Martin would be the first Minister of Commerce and Trade of the Duchy of Griffin in front of the ten senators, Arras sent a big smile that scared Martin very much.

Arras knew that in addition to the Minister of Commerce and Trade, Martin would also hold another position, the President of the Trust Chamber of Commerce of the Duchy of Griffons. This is a proposal by Adam, in some special areas of industry by the state monopoly trade, not allowed other chambers of commerce, businessmen to interfere. However, the Trust Chamber of Commerce is only a plan for now, but it is certain that the Celtic trade sector will have an extremely shrewd merchant in charge. (To be continued.) )
