Sixty-fifth Sula quarrel
Two humans dressed in fine clothes walked out of the gate of the palace, and the guards surrounded them.
"Ekis," the casino owner Kulesum introduced the two, "and Tessian." ”
"They were all members of the ruling council, and they all participated in the previous revolution. Kulesum sighed, "Ekis is a nobleman with the title of Emir. And Ctesian was once a templar of the Witch King Karak. In addition, it is said that the two have been 'close' since childhood. ”
The city-states in the desert have nobles, and most of them can be traced back to a certain witch king. After all, it's no surprise that the Witch King lived for thousands of years and had many children.
The titles of the desert nobility are, from highest to lowest, Pasha, Emir, Bey, roughly equivalent to dukes, counts, viscounts of the European regions of the planet. Muhadi wondered how a nobleman and a Templar could join the revolution and be a member of the ruling council.
"The freemen of Tyr," said the councillor named Ekis, who was well-proportioned and looked shrewd and capable. Muhadi motioned for Kulsumm and Aisha to stop and see what he had to announce. "I am here to bring you the latest decisions of the Governing Council. ”
He paused for a moment until the noise and agitation of the crowd had subsided for a moment, and then added, "...... At present, the internal and external enemies have joined forces to try to strangle us, the only place of hope in the desert!"
“...... Those ugly witch kings and slave masters, with the blood of sin flowing from every pore! They have rallied to enslave us once again!"
"The witch kings threaten us with war, Tyre, are we going to submit?!Is peace and stability so precious that we are willing to trade the yoke of slaves for it?!" Aikis shouted, and Muhadi noticed that his voice was amplified, less like magic and more like psionic power?
"No, we're here today to reject them, just as we said to Karak Witch King yesterday. Tyr can never be conquered, never enslaved!"
"Yes, the Witch Kings are powerful. Yes, the power of magic is hard to measure. But together, we are not afraid of any strong enemy! Karak is what will happen to them!"
"To unite, we must have a core, a mind. In view of this, the ruling parliament has decided that a king election assembly will be held here and now in a month's time!" Aikis waved as he announced the ruling parliament's decision, and Muhadi was puzzled when he heard it. So he asked Kulesum, "What is this?"
"Some kind of ancient witchcraft, I guess. Kulesum shook his head and said he didn't know either.
At this time, Akith began to explain to the crowd, "In the age of legends, before the tyrant Karak ruled us, Tyre was already a proud and powerful city, and her wealth and beauty were far and wide. ”
"At that time, the people of Tyre used the Elector Assembly to elect their rulers. "This Ekis seems to be a psychic mancer, and Muhadi noticed that he was using the telemancer's technique to make his tone more impressive. "Any free man in Tyre will have the right to compete for the king of Tyr! Any free man will have the right to support their candidate! The one who has the most supporters will become the hero who leads Tyre against the witch king!"
He pointed to Tessian, who was watching the crowd watching, "My friend Tessian will be in charge of maintaining order at the King's Election Conference, and anyone who tries to resort to violence at the Assembly will face violent punishment!"
Ctesian stepped forward, a tall, burly man with statuestalgic muscles around his neck, and he spoke with a sonorous voice. "I assure the ruling parliament and the people of Tyre that the violators will cry and cry for death. ”
"He's the guy who runs the City Watch right now. Kulesum pointed to Tessian, who was at the gate of the palace, and said, "If you want to be dismissed as a slave, you have to deal with him." It's simple, because he never deliberately makes things difficult for anyone, and he is anxious to make a good impression on the rest of the ruling council!"
"You said he was once a templar of Karak, why did he later participate in the revolution that overthrew the Witch King?how did he get involved in the Consul Council?what does it mean to make a good impression on the others?" Aisha interjected.
"The Witch King of Karak didn't know what was crazy before, and suddenly he wanted to build pyramids and requisition slaves on a large scale, even among the nobles. Many slaves from the families of the great nobles were requisitioned, and the servants did not pay until they died. ”
"So, our revolutionary pioneer Agees decided to rebel against the Witch King, because without slaves, his slave farm was completely abandoned. As for Tessian, he was ordered by the Witch King to exterminate the revolutionaries, and he was left with no clue for months. He feared that Karrak's punishment for his malfeasance would kill him, and with the push of Ekis, he would become a revolutionary pioneer as well. Kulesum bites the words revolutionary pioneer very hard, as if he is satirizing something.
"Because most of the members of the current ruling parliament have been hunted down by him, he is very unpopular, and now he is anxious to build enough friendship among the members of parliament to win popularity among the people. He was arguably the most eloquent of the Governing Council. ”
Aisha nodded, thoughtful.
When the two councillors retreated to the palace surrounded by guards, the crowd dispersed. Kulesum led the two men to a nondescript side door of the palace and reached out to toss a bag to the guard.
"What did you give him?" asked Muhadi.
"A little change. Kulesum said lightly, then turned to Aisha. "I'm afraid we'll have to wait outside here, and no one is allowed to enter the palace except those who voluntarily left slavery and fought for the city of Tyre. He nodded at the boy.
Muhadi understood what he meant, and he comforted Aisha a few words, then took a deep breath and calmly walked through the side door of the palace.
The guards took the money and showed Muhadi the way. The latter followed the passage in the palace and soon came to a modest hall.
According to the guards, this was the place where slaves were denaturalized. But there were not many people in it now, because the original slaves of Tyre City had long since been emancipated. Slaves from outside, such as Muhadi, or those who came and went with merchants, although Tyr did not admit it, but he would not care, otherwise it is estimated that no caravan would dare to come here.
However, if these foreign slaves come here, they can also immediately apply to become free men of Tyre, in exchange for a period of "volunteering" service for Tyre. It's the war years, and manpower is still very tight.
When Muhati walked into the hall, he was met with an unexpected scene.
Tessian was standing in the lobby, and his office area was in the area, so it wasn't surprising to be here. But at this time he was arguing loudly with another person, and he looked angry.
The person who was arguing with him was Councilor Ekis, who had just made an impassioned statement outside, and when the boy stepped into the hall, he heard Ekis say, "If you dare to doubt me again, you will clean up next time!"
"Hmm. Muhati didn't know what to do in such a situation, so he had to speak out first to attract the attention of the two. "This is the place to get rid of slaves, isn't it?"
The two who were arguing stopped abruptly, and turned their heads to stare at the young man together, looking at him uncomfortably for a while.
