Chapter 264: Elven Councillor
Abel's feeling was very sensitive, he quickly found out that the state of the butler Brewer was not right, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, his spiritual power quickly scanned his body, and he immediately found out the reason, in the dark world, he fought for a few days, but he had never killed so many hell creatures at one time, and this time he killed nearly ten thousand hell creatures.
Every time a life is killed, a peculiar momentum will be generated, some people will call this momentum murderous, and some people will call it anger, when the soldiers who have killed people in the army appear among ordinary people, it is easy to deter ordinary people, which is a manifestation of murderous spirit.
Fortunately, after killing tens of thousands of hellish creatures, Abel did not come back directly, but stayed in Rog's camp for a few days, otherwise when he appeared in front of the ordinary elf Brewer, the butler, with the murderous aura he had just finished the battle, it might make Brewer have a nervous breakdown.
There are many ways to eliminate this murderous aura, such as recuperating calmly for a period of time, or going out to see the scenery, or finding a person of the opposite sex, but Abel is different, he directly from the 'Akara's tent' in the personal storage box, he used his spiritual power to take out the pillow of meditation jade jade heart, put it into his arms, and immediately a cool breath came, his body and mind seemed to be washed by clean water, and the anger or murderous aura in his heart all dissipated.
When he came to the dining room, Brewer, who pulled the dining chair for Abel, found that the owner seemed to have returned to the intimate temperament when he first met, and the feeling of depression he had just found was completely gone, and although he had doubts in his heart, he was serving the master as seriously as usual, and did not show any abnormality.
At the end of breakfast, Abel put the meditation jade heart pillow into the 'Akara's tent' in his personal storage box, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud of the treasure he had gotten, thinking that those soldiers had to take many years to eliminate the murderous aura in order to be able to interact normally with ordinary people, but he only needed a moment to completely dissipate the murderous energy.
Abel in a silver-white dress sat on the carriage, silver-white is the elf's favorite color, but it is not an ordinary elf can wear, only the nobles among the elves can wear a silver-white dress, Abel's silver-white dress is specially sent by the Grand Duke's Palace for today's awarding ceremony, and this silver-white dress is also sent at the same time as a pure white dress, of course, this dress is also a silver-white dress and the silver-white dress is generally a special style for nobles, at this time the pure white dress is in the box next to Abel.
The carriage gradually slowed down, Brewer sat down in front of the carriage, turned around and said softly: "Master, the Grand Duke's Mansion has arrived!"
"Lord Bennett, I'm Derek, the butler of the Grand Duke's Palace, and welcome to the Grand Duke's Palace!" Derek, the old butler of the Grand Duke's Palace, saw the carriage and hurriedly stepped forward to carefully open the carriage door, then stepped back and bowed and saluted.
As the butler of the Grand Duke's Palace, of course he knew who the young elf in front of him was, whether it was the villa on Lambert Road, or the carriage in front of him, or the dress worn by the young elf was decided by Grand Duke Edwina himself, he arranged it, the affairs of the Grand Duke's Palace were basically no secret to him, and this young elf was likely to become the husband of the Lady of Loraine.
Whether it is the future husband of Lady Lorraine or the attention of Grand Duke Edwina, he attaches great importance to the young elf in front of him, not to mention that today's protagonist is this young elf.
"Derek, thank you for your welcome!" Abel bowed and saluted back, although Derek in front of him was a butler, his status as the butler of the Grand Duke's Mansion was extremely high, and of course, the most important thing was that this was the old butler who grew up watching Loland grow up as Luo Lan said.
"Lord Bennett, you're so kind, please come with me!" Derek bowed and led Able into the Grand Duke's Palace.
Abel's butler Brewer followed behind with a box containing the dress, and his task today was to provide Abel with guidance on clothing and makeup, because today is not only an investiture ceremony, after the award, there will be a banquet to welcome the new noble members into the nobility circle of Anjost City, which is a kind of elf tradition, because in a long life, they always think of various ways of entertaining life, and the banquet is one of the most important.
In the familiar hall, the main and auxiliary seats are empty, Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Elbert have not yet arrived, only twelve elven councilors in fancy clothes are standing there talking to each other, seeing Abel who was led in by the butler Derek, there are four female elf councilors nodding and smiling at Abel, and the other elf councilors are some hesitant, and some directly ignore Abel, especially the two elf councilors have a faint malice towards Abel.
"Lord Bennett, you wait here, I'll leave!" Derek said as he led Able to the side of the hall and bowed, before exiting the hall.
The Elven Councillors are the actual operators who control the city of Anjost, they control the city's commerce, security, taxes, army, land, etc., these Elven Councilors are elected from the elven nobles who own the land, and are the agents responsible for managing the city, but they must have a noble status to be qualified for this position.
This is the peculiar power system of the elves, because the big nobles who own land cannot personally participate in the operation of power, they want agents to help them control power, but at the same time, the agents themselves because of this identity will be the original noble status is much higher, forming a class of elven councilors second only to the big nobles, this class is higher than the ordinary nobles, lower than the big nobles, they have power but are subject to the grand duke, subject to the big nobles they represent.
This peculiar balance allows the power of the elves to not get out of control due to the high status of those who use power, and allows the real nobles behind them to enjoy life without worrying about government affairs.
In the hall, whether it was the elven councillors who smiled and greeted Abel, or the other elven councilors who did not show it, none of the elves stepped forward to talk to him, which made Abel feel out of place with them.
At this moment, Derek's voice came from outside the hall door: "Your Excellency the Venerable Grand Duke Edwina and the Venerable Duke of Elbert have arrived!"
The conversation in the hall immediately stopped, and six of the twelve elven councillors stood on each side of the hall.
Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Elbert appeared at the door, and just as they appeared, all the elven councilors in the hall noticed the difference, because the Grand Duke of Edwina was too young today, and seemed to have returned to the state of his youth, his skin was white and reddish, moist as jade, and the long hair on his head was as bright as satin, parting from the middle, and naturally draped down from both sides of his cheeks, hanging down his shoulders, and wearing a silver patterned headband on his head.
The elven councillors seemed to go back hundreds of years in a trance, and it was in this form that Grand Duke Edwina became the lord of Anjost City, and they became councillors.
"Bennett, you're here early!" Duke Elbert ignored the elven councillors, his special status did not care about these high-ranking officials who were high and powerful in the eyes of other elves, but smiled and stepped forward to greet Abel.
"Hello, honorable Duke Elbert!" Abel bowed, but there was a strange hint in his eyes, the traces of time on his future father-in-law in front of him were gone, replaced by a chic youthful face.
If you look at the age of human beings, he had the appearance of nearly fifty years old before, and now he is only thirty years old, and the Grand Duke of Edwina used to be forty years old, and now he is nearly thirty years old.
"You're good, I read you right!" said Duke Elbert tapped Abel twice on the shoulder, laughing as he walked to the auxiliary seat in the middle of the hall and sat down.
Grand Duke Edwina also glanced at Abel before taking his seat on the throne, smiled at him, and nodded.
The attitude of the two masters of Anjost City towards Abel made the faces of all the elven councillors change, and the four female elf councillors who had just shown favor to Abel were already smiling like a spring breeze, while the other elven councillors all changed their expressions, and their expressions were full of friendliness when they looked at Abel.
