Chapter 111: The Senate
Last night, the state of God was fine.
There is something wrong with Xiaolou.
The second watch, cloudy to rainy,
Three watches, light rain turned sunny.
Five watches, sunny to light rain to sunny.
Not long after dawn, the carriage that picked up the patriarch stopped outside the small building.
Today is an important day for the new Knight veteran to take office, and there is no room for neglect.
In the morning, the Senate holds a welcoming ceremony to welcome the new members.
In the afternoon, the Senate had a bill to vote on, and it went through a few motions.
"Yawn—"
Al yawned and walked downstairs, apparently not having a good night's rest.
Although he had just gotten up, the patriarch's robe had already been put on, and it was decent and elegant.
When looking in the mirror, Ludon sighed that she was like a natural patriarch.
Al always felt that this was not a good word.
Awu had already placed the toiletry-related utensils neatly, and Al instructed while washing his face,
"You don't have to cook me lunch, the Senate has a day's meeting, and I still take care of the food."
Speaking of this, Al himself couldn't help but laugh.
The only advantage of being a patriarch is that he is like a pig, without worrying about food and clothing.
The patriarchs never had to worry about making mistakes.
Because they basically haven't done anything right, and they make mistakes every day.
The patriarch only had to do one thing right: stand firm with the Saint family behind him.
Why was the previous Knight senator abandoned by the Senate and assigned to be a bell ringer on the high platform?
It was because he betrayed the Isha family.
Everything that the patriarch has come from the Holy Descent family, so naturally he should also give everything for the Holy Descent family.
Listening to Miss Al's words, Awu nodded,
"Mr. Luden explained it yesterday.
He also said that if the Senate could pack food and come back, and what was missing at home, he would tell Miss Eyre..."
As he spoke, Awu also took out a list that read: sugar, salt, pepper, spices, tea (good), tea (general)...
Al:......
The moment she saw the list, her face was full of black lines, and she didn't know what to say.
It does sound like something Ludon could do.
Yes, it's very Luden.
After washing, Al had a brief breakfast and got into the carriage.
Before leaving, she did not forget to command,
"Awu, you can eat first, Mr. Luden... Need to sleep a little longer, and don't lock the door today. ”
With that, Al got into the carriage to the Senate and began his day as a senator.
...
When Al stood in the doorway of the Senate, he still had a feeling of unreality.
Have you really become a veteran?
Such a child's play?
At a young age, she reached the end of the Saint's Descent and became a senator.
Bowing his head and smiling to himself, Al immediately held his head high, stepped up the steps, and walked into the Senate like a queen.
When Al arrived at the Senate, the Senators had not yet arrived.
92.3% of the elders are over 40 years old, which is a veritable old age.
It was a bit of a dilemma for them to leave the soft velvet bed early in the morning, sit in a luxurious carriage, and rush to the Senate, which was warm in winter and cool in summer.
However, Al didn't care about these details.
She didn't have any affection for the Senate, even though she had become one of them.
Al was well aware that her entry into the Senate was in everyone's interest, including herself. …
The people who took the lead in greeting her were the elders and others.
The elder had gray temples, and with a wine glass in his hand, he stood up and looked at Al,
"Before entering the Senate, on behalf of all the Senate, I welcome Al Isha, the incoming Senator Knight."
The elder said slowly,
"You may have stopped making enough jokes about the Senate before you entered the Senate, and there is no end to anyone's inspiration in this matter.
But I must be cautious to tell you, Miss El Isa, those jokes about the Senate... The vast majority are true. ”
The twist was a bit of a sass, almost flashing Al's waist.
She never expected that the other party would say that.
Don't play according to the routine!
The Grand Elder continued,
"That's right, the jokes about the Senate are true, we're a bunch of stupid, useless, short-sighted old guys, we're dead in the prime position, and our only use is useless... Such a senate is a joke of the Divine State. ”
Al's face was slightly solemn, and he suppressed his previous shock and surprise.
She realized that the Senate was not what she had imagined.
It's easy to criticize others.
Who can refuse to stand on the high ground and point fingers at others?
And self-criticism?
Someone who can do it to this extent... Never be stupid!
The Grand Patriarch raised his glass slightly, changed his tone, and continued,
"The Senate couldn't have been worse. Having such a terrible Senate, and the fact that the Divine State has been strong and prosperous for the past 800 years, shows that the Divine State is on the right path and that we have done nothing wrong!
A stupid senate is the best senate! ”
The state of God does not need a wise senate, it does not need a senate with wisdom.
An ambitious and wise Senate can only bring disaster and destruction to the Divine State.
Stupid, but the patriarch.
That's enough.
The elder elder's words touched Al's soul, and she even wanted to give the other party a straw.
The old man in front of him is definitely a wise man who is as wise as a fool!
Just as Al was thinking so, Elder Sirui unceremoniously dismantled the stage and said,
"This is the comment of the three scholars to the Senate, and the three scholars used these words to take two million meters from the Senate while serving as the hanged man."
Apparently, all the Patriarchs except Al knew about it.
Immediately the patriarch chimed in,
"That's right! When he first welcomed me, he said the same thing, and I was stunned for a moment, and later found out that this is a parrot, as stupid as Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu believes in your evil! ”
"That's it! What kind of cultural level do you have, don't you have points in your own heart! ”
“......”
In the face of the accusations of the other patriarchs, the grand patriarch did not feel embarrassed at all.
As long as he is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.
The elder raised the wine glass in his hand and looked around,
"To Patriarch Knight!"
"To Patriarch Knight!"
A senator who receives the respect of the Senate at most twice in his lifetime.
The first time was when he/she joined the Senate.
The second time was when he/she left the Senate.
All the patriarchs present raised their wine glasses in their hands, with the same smile on their faces, saying the same words and drinking the same wine in their mouths. …
For a moment, Al felt like he had become one of the Elders.
This place, with its magical, indescribable magic - the magic that turns everyone into fools.
Putting down the wine glass, the Grand Patriarch quickly got into the working state, took out a bill, and distributed it to everyone.
"Alright, when everyone is here, we need to discuss the first bill, and Pong Jager has submitted a proposal for the election of Lutdon y Wegud as tribune, and the Senate needs to vote on whether Lutdon is eligible to participate in the citizens' assembly..."
Al's expression was tense, he didn't expect that he would be able to help Mr. Ludon when he first came to the Senate.
The scribe elder on the side saw her little caution and chuckled,
"Take it easy, girl, and soon you'll understand the true meaning of the Senate, you can do anything but not think."
Al frowned, a little puzzled.
Soon, she understood the true meaning of the sentence.
Ponger's plan passed by an overwhelming margin of 13:0.
Al's vote, no matter how he votes, will not affect the final result.
In the words of Patriarch Sirui,
"Tribune? We like the tribunes, and the Senate loves the tribunes! ”
Even if this tribune is Luden!
Any tribune will eventually fall and choose to join the Senate.
The transcription elder pointed to an ancient Qiyun sentence on the wall, and said casually,
"The Senate has everything, and the Senate has nothing."
They are the elders who stand tall above, and they are the elders that everyone laughs at.
They are the pinnacle of God's power, and they are the pit of God's intellect.
For 800 years, there is only one constant:
The Senate is still one day, and the Divine State is still one day.
In the middle of the meeting, a somewhat tired Al looked out the window, an idle cloud drifted by, what happened in the Senate today was no different from the past eight hundred years.
Constant repetition, constant reincarnation...
Nothing seems to break this cycle of reincarnation.
Al suddenly rejoiced.
Fortunately, Shenbang has Mr. Luden.
...
While Al is spending time in the Senate, the building welcomes a new visitor.
Just like returning to his own home, an ordinary man pushed open the door of the small building, naturally hung his windbreaker on the wall, and walked to the living room with a cup of tea, while saying to Awu,
"Trouble and Mr. Ludon, Father Phuket from the Inquisition has come to the appointment."
Awu memorized every word the other person said.
The other party is very strange, but around Mr. Luden, there will always be this strange existence.
Awu is used to it.
Trotting upstairs and adjusting his breathing, Awu knocked on Mr. Ludon's door, repeating the original sentence, and even the enthusiasm in the indifference imitated it.
Phuket priest?!
Hearing this familiar name, Ludon sat up in shock from his dying illness, and for the first time an emotion called surprise appeared on his face.
In the Kingdom of Qiyun, before Ludon was hanged, the priest who was responsible for Ludden's deathbed repentance was called Phuket.
Is it a coincidence?
Still is... Old friend?
It's moving!
It's not his DNA that's moving!
It was the noose that Ludon was carrying that moved!
Ludon asked Awu to wait outside the house, and he quickly passed on his clothes, went upstairs in dignity, and met the Phuket priest in the living room.
Luden was a little disappointed.
Not alone.
People 2,000 years ago probably died.
He is the only lonely soul in the Qiyun Kingdom, wandering this land cursed by demons.
As for the duplicate name, it's just a coincidence, or... It was some of the history left by the Qiyun Kingdom that influenced the Divine State.
None of that matters.
Ludon sat at the table, looked at Father Phuket, and said sincerely,
"Father, there was once an opportunity for me to repent, but I did not cherish it, if Heaven would give me a chance to do it again."
Fr. Phuket: ???
Every word the other party said, Father Phuket could understand.
It can be put together, but it is completely incomprehensible.
With the most sincere attitude, Luden revealed his heart,
"I'll say three words to that priest..."
"Champagne!...
