Chapter 244: New Power (Part II)
On the seventh day after the end of the Battle of White Rock City, Leon handed over the defense of White Rock City to the commander of the Third War Regiment, and led six hundred and seventy Thunderbeast warriors on the return journey.
After the bitter winter has passed, spring has returned to the earth, and the Glorious Continent has gradually entered the most beautiful season.
The empty wilderness is full of greenery, the warm sun shines warmly on the earth, and the wind blowing from the south is full of the breath of spring, which makes people feel intoxicated.
On the farmland on both sides of the road, farmers are busy plowing and sowing seeds, many birds are stealing seeds from the fields, and several children are laughing and running past the ridges, leaving behind strings of crisp laughter like strings of silver bells.
From the treacherous and harsh Arctic Ice to here, Leon's iron-blooded heart couldn't help but soften, and the bloody aura on his body seemed to dissipate in this spring breeze.
In front of him, the majestic and vast royal capital of Ugru loomed in sight.
This time back in Uglu, Leon was mainly to receive the official crown from the kingdom, but also to pay a personal visit to the High Priest of Faense to show his gratitude.
So after entering the province of Saint Yao, Leon split his army into two routes, he took Rose and five guards to Ugru, while Rock Hammer led his army directly back to Saar.
The perimeter of the royal capital was heavily guarded, and without the permission of the military department, leading an army into Ugru could be considered an act of rebellion, and with Leon now a baron, it was not allowed to bring more escort soldiers.
Of course, as the center of the kingdom, there is no problem with the security of Ugru.
After nearly two months, Leon entered the royal capital again.
In the spring, Uglo is becoming more and more lively, and the streets are bustling with pedestrians, and there are too many horse-drawn carriages coming and going on the streets, which even causes congestion.
This reminded Leon of the same situation caused by the presence of large cities in his original world, dense populations and large affluent classes.
Although there is a huge war going on in the north, and countless people will die in the war, the atmosphere of war there obviously cannot affect this place at all, and the crowding of people makes Leon have the illusion of being lost in it.
Finally, Leon found a hotel with rooms on a relatively remote street, because there are too many outsiders who have come to the royal capital recently, and the hotels are full, so it is good luck to find this one.
After moving in, Leon rested for a day, accompanied Rose to the shop to buy some clothes and other daily necessities, and then went to the royal capital senate the next day.
Located at the foot of Mount Kinabalu, the Senate is the second most luxurious complex in the royal capital after the temple and the royal palace, and it is the center of power of the kingdom.
The power system of the Beamon Kingdom is more special, as the highest owner of power, the Beamon Beast King is not hereditary, theoretically speaking, the six great clans of lions, tigers, wolves, foxes, swans and eagles are all eligible to win the throne.
For thousands of years, the throne of the Beastmaster was basically controlled by the four descendants of the lion, the tiger, the wolf, and the fox, and the current king of Beamon is the tiger descendant, and it is the senate of the kingdom that determines the throne.
The Senate of the Kingdom has a total of thirty-six senators, of which only six senators are from the lower clans, and the remaining thirty are all from the upper clans, and the Beamon Beast King was elected by these thirty-six senators.
The senators also represent the major powers of the kingdom, although the royal power is supreme, but even the king of Beamon has to bow his head to listen to the voice from the senate, without the support of a sufficient number of senators, his throne will not be stable.
In Beamon's history, there is no precedent for the Beastmaster to be impeached and deposed by the patriarchs.
In addition, the Senate also had the authority to manage the nobility, and the promotion and deposition of the nobles needed to be done through the Senate.
Holding the letter of the kingdom's bounty, after layers of strict checks, Leon finally entered the golden central hall of the Senate.
This hall that countless people are eager to set foot in is hundreds of feet square, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the high dome, dozens of suspended ceilings and more than a dozen golden carved stone pillars forming the layout of the hall, giving people an incomparable sense of luxury and majesty.
On both sides of the hall, there was also a row of heavily armed silver-armored knights, they held heavy swords with cold expressions, and their straight bodies did not move at all, if it were not for the solemn aura revealed, it would definitely make people mistake it for a statue.
A senate deacon received Leon, and the wolf-descended middle-aged nobleman took Leon's reward letter with a blank face, and asked Leon to sit on the sofa in the corner of the hall and wait.
For most of the day, the senate deacon seemed to have disappeared from the world, and there were many people coming and going in the hall, but no one paid any attention to Leon as if he did not exist at all.
Such a cold reception was something that Leon had not expected, but it was not without reason when he thought about it, how could those high-ranking senators value a small baron, and he was also a local lord of the temple family.
Although he was on fire, Leon knew he couldn't express his displeasure, he knew almost nothing about the situation here, and any out-of-the-ordinary move would invite unforeseen risks.
You must know that this is the Senate of the Kingdom, and it is the place where the entire Bimon Kingdom pays the most attention to rules and precepts!
Understands this, so the surname Leonso doesn't do anything, since the other party hangs him here and waits, then he waits.
When it comes to patience, he is no worse than anyone else.
Therefore, Leonso sat on the sofa, looked at his nose and nose, and focused on his whole body, and regarded the central hall of the Senate as his own cultivation retreat.
Unbeknownst to Leon, at this moment at the other end of the central hall, in one of the suites, a nobleman was sitting behind his desk observing him with interest.
The deacon of the Senate, who had taken the letter of reward from Leon, stood respectfully aside.
This tiger-descended nobleman looked about fifty or sixty years old, with a burly figure and bearing, his axe-like resolute face was full of majesty, and a pair of dark golden tiger eyes flashed a little from time to time.
"He's the Leon who attacked Linsk Harbor?" The Tiger nobleman played with the reward letter in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face: "What a young man!"
On his desk was a white crystal the size of a table mirror, and the flat and smooth crystal plane clearly showed the scene in the hall, and Leon was in the middle of it.
"Yes, Senator!" replied the wolfborn deacon at once, "he's been here for five hours. ”
"Very good young man..."The Tiger Descendant Nobleman smiled slightly: "It's rare for a young man to be so calm, it's a pity that he is a member of the Divine Temple, otherwise it's really worth cultivating, I heard that he has the bloodline of the Tiger Descendant?"
"Yes, Senator!"
"It's a pity..."The Tiger nobleman smacked his lips: "Those horse dung men in the military department are playing this trick of suppression again, and they threw him to our Senate, is it because we can't see their little care?"
The baron was promoted to viscount and then added the territory, this meat is to come out of the senate, although it is said that military merits can never be erased, but the military's attitude of staying out of the matter makes the senator very unhappy, especially when it also involves disputes between several major forces.
However, the wolf deacon did not dare to accept his words, this old man could call the arrogant generals of the garrison military department "horse manure", a small baron deacon, absolutely not qualified to join such a topic.
Of course, the Tiger nobleman didn't really want to discuss with him, he pondered for a moment, picked up the quill pen on the table, and quickly signed his name under the reward letter, and finally stamped a badge.
"Alright, give him a certificate of viscount title and new territory, and let him go back!" the Tiger nobleman waved his hand and said, "We have to give the temple some face. ”
The wolfborn deacon took the reward letter and bowed to the tiger noble.
"Huh!"
Just as the wolf-descended deacon was about to leave the room to apply for the certificate, the tiger-born nobleman's expression suddenly moved, and his eyes fixed on the crystal stone.
The crystal surface showed that a noble woman in a white dress was walking towards Leon, and the pretty figure was no stranger to him.
"Corinna, why are you here?"
Leon was dumbfounded as he looked at the beautiful woman who appeared in front of him.
The other party is none other than Corinna, whom he has not seen for a long time, the mysterious and glamorous female proprietress of the forest fairy bar, and the rumored descendant of Queen Sophia Rhine.
The two had a short relationship in Tormond, Corinna gave Leon a lot of help, and there was a trace of ambiguous feelings between the two, but unfortunately all this dissipated with Corinna's departure.
But now, in the central hall of the Senate, he actually saw this woman who made his heart move again, and he couldn't help but be more happy than surprised.
"Why can't I be here?"
After a long time, Corinna didn't seem to have changed in the slightest, she wrinkled her little nose, revealing a bit of playfulness and cunning.
Leon stood up, feeling the urge to pour her into his arms, but he knew that this place was not suitable, so he could only force his excitement to suppress it.
"Let's sit down and talk," Corinna smiled, regaining her grace and grace, as charming as ever, "I've heard a lot about you, you came to the Senate for a promotion, right?"
Naturally, she sat down beside Leon.
Leon sat down again, sniffing the familiar fragrance of the other party, and was in a much happier mood: "Yes, but the rules here are too big, I came here in the morning, and I waited here for almost five sandy hours." ”
"By the way, you haven't told me how you're here?
Leon had heard that Corinna had been stripped of her territory and driven out of Uglo to come to Tormund, and it would be interesting to see her return to Uglo.
