Chapter 505, Archbishop - Milton
Grote was in a good mood today.
His plan is going very well.
An hour ago, the butler had sent the news.
It is said that the hired mercenaries have already received the people who have entered the city, and after checking their identities, they will be sent here.
When the time comes, Rebecca loses her position at this time, and he naturally has a way to deal with her.
The thought that he could take revenge on Rebecca made his heart feel hot.
Looking at the dancing woman in front of her, the desire in her eyes was even better.
"Take it off!" Grote spoke.
He bought the woman, and the price of the traverser is not cheap now.
Especially young and beautiful traversers with special skills.
The woman who was dancing on the carpet frowned when she heard the sound, but as if she hadn't heard of it, she continued to dance in silence.
Bang! The glass slammed down on the table.
"Take it off!" Grote's tone was a little heavier.
Crash~~
The woman's thin white arms stretched back, and the tulle fluttered down.
There was very little cloth left, maintaining her last dignity.
She was sold here by slave traders.
Naturally, I have also seen the cruelty of this world.
Angering these nobles, there would be no consequences for killing her.
Therefore, before the man gets angry, she doesn't dare to disobey anything.
Dignity ......, that's something to consider after living.
"Haha! Well, that's good. β
Seeing the woman's obedience, revealing a large area of skin as delicate as snow.
Satisfied Grot's desire for control.
Drink the wine in your hand, chew and swallow the bitter jerky into your stomach.
Got up and walked around the table in the direction of the woman.
The woman, subconsciously, wanted to retreat, but stopped again.
You can't hide.
Just when Grote was about to pounce.
Hurried footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door.
Grote's face was displeased.
He was the most annoying, the one who interrupted him at a critical moment.
"Master, something happened!" Outside the door, the butler's voice was heard.
The housekeeper is Grote's confidant, and some unsightly things are handled by the housekeeper.
He said that something very important had happened.
Return to your chair and sit down.
"Come in."
The door opened, and the old butler entered.
"Tell me, what's going on again."
The old butler did not speak, but looked at the dancing woman beside him.
Grote frowned slightly.
He waved his hand at the woman, "You go down first." β
"Yes!" The woman nodded, picked up the tulle from the ground, opened the door and ran out.
When the woman's figure disappeared, the footsteps could not be heard.
The old housekeeper said, "Master, the person has not been delivered, and Thorndike can't be contacted, I'm afraid it's ............." β
"What did you say?" Grouter roared.
"People, people can't be contacted, I've arranged for someone to go to the civilian area to find it, but there is no news yet." The butler said worriedly.
Bang!!
The glass slammed down on the table again.
Grote's chest rises and falls.
Just planned to humiliate Rebecca in the council, how to torture her afterwards.
At this moment, it all became extremely blurry.
"What about people! I ask you, don't you say that these people are okay, why can't you do a thing? Grote roared loudly.
"Master, it's my bad work, and I'm willing to be ......punished." The butler knelt directly on the ground and bowed his head.
"You ......." Grote's face flushed with anger.
This housekeeper of his own is very appetizing to him.
Collecting women and coming up with some ideas can be done very properly.
Moreover, he is also his confidant.
But in the case of Lisses City, I don't know why, there are always all kinds of mistakes.
Grote sat in his chair and was silent for a moment.
Then he got up and said, "Prepare the carriage and go to Hubert's side." β
"Yes, sir." The butler immediately got up and went out to prepare.
β¦β¦
The next day.
Today is the day of the Council of the Hundred Cities.
Fang Hao got up early.
With the help of a maid, don into an intricately embroidered gown.
He never thought that a dress would be worn for half an hour.
But he didn't expect that Rebecca's dress would be worn for more than an hour.
When she came out, in addition to Rebecca, who was dressed neatly, the few maids beside her were sweating profusely.
"How many of you got into a fight in the room?" Fang Hao asked curiously.
Rebecca habitually rolled her eyes, "What a fight, let's go." β
The two men boarded the carriage.
All the way to the conference hall.
Along the road, there are all kinds of flags planted and fluttering in the wind.
Locals are not averse to this situation.
Even, at this time of year, in just a few days, the city's economy will improve rapidly.
It can also be regarded as a means of promoting development.
One by one, the carriages, escorted by their respective teams, rushed forward together.
Pull back the curtains and you can see the rest of the carriages.
All the way to the conference hall.
After a brief inspection, Rebecca took him by the arm and entered the council hall.
The hall is unusually spacious.
The floor is covered with a soft wool carpet that covers the entire hall in one piece.
The stone pillars of the main hall are carved with gorgeous reliefs, and the walls on both sides are painted with exquisite patterns and stories.
On a wooden platform erected on one side, musicians play melodious music.
A young and beautiful girl singing softly to the music.
The girl's singing voice is ethereal and melodious, and it is very beautiful.
The seats in the hall are divided into three sections.
At the bottom, and at the most dense, there are hundreds of seats.
If the seats in the cinema are the same, neatly arranged, facing in front of each other.
The second area, which is a little higher, is arranged on the left and right sides, and there are dozens and hundreds of them.
The third area is the topmost platform.
There are only five seats, but they are facing down, looking down on all the councillors.
Rebecca took Fang Hao by her arms, came to the second area position, and sat down in one position.
opened his mouth and said, "This is the position of the councilor of the hundred cities. β
"And what about down there?" Fang Hao looked at the bottom, like the position of the seat in a movie theater.
"Oh! Over there are ordinary legislators, such as representatives of trade unions, business associations, and various non-governmental organizations, all of whom will sit there. Rebecca explained softly.
Good guys, in this way, there are quite a few people who come to attend.
If there is any terrorist organization here, wouldn't it take away all the high-level human beings.
Not a single one was left behind.
"That's what you call the Big Five, right?" Fang Hao's gaze looked upwards again, the five high positions.
The chairs and tables are all gorgeously decorated.
Rebecca lowered her voice and said: "Yes, these five people form the upper house of the hundred cities, on the surface, the hundred cities are democratic, all the councilors vote, but the big five have a veto, in fact, whether some things can be done depends on what the five of them say." β
"Oh, got it!"
This set of operations, why did Fang Hao sound so familiar.
A reduced version of the United Nations?
Whether a decision can be made or not depends mainly on the attitude of the Big Five.
If it is powerful for the Big Five, it is easy to pass, and it is not of much interest to the Big Five, so it is very difficult to implement it if there is a lot of trouble below.
This also appeared, each city will secretly do something that violates the regulations of the hundred cities, but each of them tacitly knows it.
Rebecca took out another page and put it in front of Fang Hao.
He said in a low voice: "You take over the position of the city lord of Lisis City, you have to stand up and declare it in a while, familiarize yourself with it first, and don't be nervous when you arrive." β
Ah, there's such a thing.
Fang Hao looked at the words on the paper, there was not much content, it was words such as loyalty to human beings.
It's not that hard.
I watched it carefully twice and got familiar with it seriously.
At this time, Fang Hao felt that his eyes were looking at him and looked up.
But he saw Grote and Hubert walking in together, glaring at him with hatred in his eyes.
Fang Hao looked at the contents of the paper and stretched out his hand to greet the two of them in a friendly manner.
The two were stunned.
Then he turned to the side with an angry face.
Over time.
The seats below were all filled one after another.
It's a mess, and many people are chatting about their own things.
Boom!
At this moment, the bell rang.
On the top of the canopy, three huge flags were scattered.
The music played on the side instantly grew bigger, changing from soothing to high-pitched and uplifting.
Rebecca leaned into Fang Hao's ear and continued to explain, "In the middle is the flag of the Human Federation, on the left is the heroic flag of the Hall of Justice, and on the right is the city flag of Silverwing City. β
Fang Hao nodded, but his heart was full of surprise.
For the hero banner on the left, he was full of a familiar feeling.
The blue background is printed with a copper-colored, horn-shaped emblem pattern.
The more you look at it, the more familiar ...... becomes.
Fang Hao was under the table and opened the book of lords.
In the space, look at the Horn of Valor, which is stored inside.
γHorn of Valor (Orange Emblem)γ
γCategory:Emblemγ
[Ability: Wear the Emblem (Human), War Horn attribute +100.] γ
(Description: In the 'Dark Ages' of mankind, they united and wore the 'Horn of Valor', 'Noble Faith', 'Sacred Barrier', 'Sharp Thorn', and 'Just Truth' to unite humanity against foreigners and defend the last dignity of humanity.) οΌ
The pattern on the flag is a heroic horn printed on it.
The Emblem is a reward he receives during a Challenge.
At that time, I vaguely remembered that it was mentioned that the emblem was lost, and it was of great significance to the human camp.
Rebecca said that this is the banner of the Hall of Justice, so what does the Hall of Justice have to do with this emblem?
Would you like Rebecca to introduce you to Dolty, the leader of the Hall of Justice?
As soon as this idea appeared, it was dispelled by Fang Hao.
It's better not to take risks.
Everything is based on sound development, and anything that may cause change is best not to happen.
He was thinking to himself.
Bang Bang Bang!!
A burst of fierce applause startled Fang Hao.
When I looked up, I saw five people coming out of the top.
Needless to say, it's the Big Five of the House of Lords.
Rebecca, who acted as a narrator, spoke again.
"The middle-aged man at the head is the current leader of the Justice League, Dorty, that is, Olivia's husband, he has a good reputation, but he is a little old-fashioned. The one in the back wearing the church robe is Archbishop Milton, and the three people in the back are the Hundred Cities Federation, a very powerful city lord. β
When Fang Hao heard this, he was also observing the five top figures of the Human Hundred Cities Federation.
Dolty looks to be in his 40s, burly, dark-skinned, and walks with a sense of oppression that is not angry and self-threatening.
He wears a dark purple aristocratic robe, and on the left chest is embroidered with a heroic horn.
An old man walked out of the side.
Tall and thin, dressed in church robes, with a scepter in his hand.
He had a kind face, and he walked out all the way, all smiling, occasionally waving his hand downward.
The last three were also middle-aged men, wearing brocade robes with calm faces.
But when he came out, he was following the two of them.
It seems that in terms of power, it is lower than the previous two.
The five men walked up to the top and sat down in their seats.
The simple opening remarks were followed by the oath of the new lord and councillor.
Those who were called by name stood up and began to read the words on the paper.
There are quite a few new appointments this year.
But the process is quite smooth, just read it.
But when it was Fang Hao's turn, something went wrong.
When Fang Hao straightened his waist and read aloud according to the content on the paper.
A voice came from above.
"Fang Hao, you're a traverser, right?"
Fang Hao looked up and saw that it was Archbishop Milton, his eyes were looking at him.
Milton looked like he was eighty or ninety years old, but his voice didn't sound like it, more like a middle-aged man, and he was very confident.
The archbishop interrupted at this time.
made all the councillors present feel that something is wrong.
His eyes looked at Fang Hao in unison.
Fang Hao was also stunned, he didn't understand how he suddenly added a drama to himself.
Look down at Rebecca and ask her if this is also the process?
But in Rebecca's eyes, he saw confusion and worry.
And you know, this is not a process.
His eyes fell back on Milton, and he smiled and said, "Yes, I'm a traverser." β
"The appearance of the traverser has become the most unstable factor in Silverwing City, it seems that Lisis City has handled this aspect better, and you get along relatively well." Milton continued.
The House of Lords has absolute power.
When Milton said this, Fang Hao's situation was very dangerous.
Whether he can successfully become the lord of the city, Milton's words are very important.
Fang Hao thought for a moment and said: "What is unstable is the social factor, it comes down to a certain group, just like there are good people and bad people in every city, and it can't be said that all people in a certain city are bad people, or they are all good people." β
There are indeed bad guys among the traversers, but in comparison, the quality of the traversers is much higher than that of the aborigines.
Milton's view from the perspective of the Indigenous people is a problem in itself.
Of course, the reason why Milton said this was more because he wanted to embarrass Fang Hao, not because he couldn't accept the traverser.
The Maozi saint is also a traverser himself.
He was also given a high commission in the Church, competing for the position of archbishop among the Twelve Saints.
"Oh? So, you have the confidence to manage the city of Lysses? Milton's face remained unchanged, still smiling and asking.
It's like an old fox with a knife in his smile.
"Yes."
"Haha! Well, the young man is ambitious, but I have received a document on the violations of federal regulations in the city of Lisses over the past few years, and you have just declared what you think should be done in this matter? Archbishop Milton looked at the two below with interest.
As soon as this remark came out.
Everyone below instantly became noisy.
And Rebecca on the side, her face turned pale in an instant, without the slightest blood.
It was not Grote who presented the incriminating evidence, but the archbishop.
Finished.......
