Chapter II Bahraini Parliamentarians

The Sea of Stars is a desert city dotted with only a few small oases. This small oasis is not really big in the entire desert. However, due to the special existence of the Tower of Babel, a large-scale city was built on this small oasis.

It is precisely because of the peculiarity of the Tower of Babel that many wizards have been welcomed here for thousands of years. At the same time, many of the wizards in the Tower of Babel also settled here for various reasons.

The light of wizards' wisdom shines on the city all year round, and it also brings her many various urban facilities developed by wizards. The most important thing is, of course, water.

Whether it is through the aqueducts above and below the ground, or the various fountains directly transmitted through the wizard's magic circle, in short, under the light of the wizard's wisdom, this land is not very suitable for large-scale group living.

There was even a huge cistern built in the center of the city under the auspices of a certain high-ranking wizard in the Tower of Babel.

It not only adds a water source to the wizard tower in the enchantment, but also provides water for the entire city.

Of course, many people say that the cistern was built here to save land within the barrier. But it did add a lot of greenery to the desert city over the centuries.

The carriage made its way down a high canal. The closer you get to the city center, the more green you get that shouldn't exist. The architecture also transitioned from adobe houses to more elaborate stone houses. The roads are also starting to become more regular.

This aqueduct connects the huge cistern in the center. Approaching the cistern, the carriage turned onto a wide stone path to the left. The houses on both sides of the stone road are becoming more and more refined and tall.

The tops of the stone pillars are inlaid with golden statues of harpies. Crystal balls hovered above the Harpy's head.

Rose in the carriage explained to the young wizard beside her that at night the crystal balls would glow warmly and softly, illuminating the entire road.

At the end of the road sits a trapezoidal pyramid, made of unknown materials, reflecting a faint golden color in the sunlight. A tall stone pillar towers over the top of the pyramid, on top of which still stands an intricately carved Harpy. The banshee was surrounded by three huge crystal balls, slowly spinning around.

On the front of the pyramid, you can see the gardens that gradually ascend one step after another, and many of them are dotted with fountains. In the distance, you can see many men and women dressed in ornate silk strolling through the garden. Three long staircases run from the bottom to the top. At the bottom of each staircase stood two golden harpies, whose outstretched wings, one on the left and one on the right, together with the bodies on both sides, formed a tall door.

Anyone who steps on the stairs passes under the wings of the two harpies. According to Rose, this symbolizes that the people here are sheltered under the wings of the Harpy.

The carriage came to a slow stop at the middle of the staircase. Bahrain got up and got out of the carriage, and a bald, brown-skinned man in blue silk standing under the wings of a harpy looked at Bahrain with a warm smile on his face.

Quickly stepped forward and walked a few steps, stood in front of Bahrain, stroked his chest and bowed slightly forward, and said, "Everyone has death."

This is a greeting unique to the Golden Council. They were full of envy for the immortal wizard. It is said that this is an encouragement to themselves by the descendants of the first batch of wizards who founded the Golden Council, hoping to encourage each other not to be blinded by glory and wealth, and to strive to inherit the path of their fathers and advanced wizards.

This is also the core idea of the Golden Council, and under their greedy exterior, there is a longing for wizards. Their greed is only a disdain for mortal life, and wizards are the pursuit of the descendants of these wizards.

Bahrain also learned the other party's way of holding his chest and saluting: "Everyone has death"

A bald man of brown race, with white and neat teeth showing in his thick lips: "Master of Bahrain?"

Nodding, Balin replied: "Bahrain - Constantine"

"Russell - Will to Fire"

Having lived for a few days, Bahrain understands that the surname is represented by a shaman who was a wizard who was skilled in manipulating fire.

Russell, a bald man with brown skin, is estimated to be more than 1.9 meters tall, a head taller than Bahrain, who is more than 1.7 meters tall.

The two gently hugged each other and parted. Russell gestured as he led Barin under the Harpy's wings and onto the stairs.

Rose behind him was naturally not qualified to follow. Don't look at Russell's mild attitude towards Bahrain, but for the hierarchical Xingchen Sea, Russell, as an honorable councilor, has absolute authority in front of ordinary people like Rose.

Although when this girl debuted for the first time, it was Russell who was received. But she could only bow her head in front of Russell. It wasn't until the two of them crossed their wings and stepped up the stairs that they raised their heads and left in a carriage.

Russell's voice with thick lips was deep and somewhat slow. The two walked slowly side by side. Along the way, Russell nodded to the men and women in the garden and briefed Bahrain about the Golden Council.

Balin turned his head from side to side and looked at Russell's pointers. It is a city that is said to be shrouded in the light of wizarding wisdom.

The garden is filled with a variety of brightly colored and exotic plants. Although there is no shortage of water, the plants here are still dominated by drought-tolerant plants. But it has changed a lot under artificial screening and cultivation. Cacti of various colors, succulents of all kinds of bizarre appearances. Peacock flowers as bright as peacock heads, flaming torch trees, and so on.

Colourful gardens dotted with fountains bring a touch of coolness to this desert city. In the white stone pavilion, men and women in silk sit and chat with each other over wine.

Perhaps it was their love of silk that they named the wide stone road connecting the cistern and the pyramid the Silk Road.

Here, there is no sense of any squalor or chaos, and there seems to be harmony and joy everywhere.

"We call this the Golden Garden, and the three staircases represent the three components of the Golden Council, the House of Glory, the Knights of Truth, and the Chest of Money.

The House of Glory is the core organization of our Honorable Members. The Knights of Truth is naturally the gathering place of the butchers. As the name suggests, the cash cabinet is naturally the head of the group of gold coin profiteers. Together, three organizations govern the city. Of course, the members of the House of Glory are the heart of the Golden Council and the well-deserved rulers of the city."

Follow Russell up the ladder and listen to Russell's introduction to the Golden Council. Bahrain also began to silently prepare for something in his heart.

"The fat man who came to the Dream Tavern told the master the purpose of inviting the master this time, right?" asked Russell

"Join the Golden Council and become an honorable member?" asked Balin in a confirmed manner.

Russell nodded

"If you want to join the Tower of Babel, you can only be introduced by our Golden Council, the House of Glory. The Bahraini master is naturally not a problem as an official wizard. It's just that the money needed to build the Wizard's Tower in the future is a problem."

Russell points to the end

Naturally, Balin understood what he meant, and followed Russell into the garden on the left on the third floor of the Golden Garden. Russell found a white stone table and sat down. Everywhere in the garden stood guards dressed in black armor, spears, and round shields. It's just that to Bahrain's surprise, these male guards don't even have beards.

It's not scraped, it's not long at all. But judging from the appearance, it is definitely the age when it is time to grow a beard.

"They are the Unsullied" Russell, who saw what Bahrain meant, explained, but it made Bahrain even more confused.

"The Unsullied?"

"They're slaves, there's no more underneath," a woman in azure silk passed by, and when she heard Bahrain's question, she casually explained: "Formal strange wizards are rare." ”

The woman passed by and saw the golden Wizard's Heart surrounding Bahrain. He stopped, looking at the young wizard with interest.

"And very young," the woman added.

Naturally, Bahrain also looked back at the woman seriously, it was very beautiful. A head of blonde hair, permed with a few slight arcs. With a bright forehead, a tall nose, and azure silk wrapped diagonally around her body, it could not hide her feminine curves. He is somewhat tall and not much shorter than Bahrain.

The woman "Nikita" took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Bahrain"

Russell got up and pulled a chair for Nikita, "Master of Bahrain, I want to join the Tower of Babel." I have been invited to talk about entering the Golden Council," and then turned to Bahrain and asked, "What is the Master's consideration?"

"It's an honour to join the Golden Parliament" Bahrain has little hesitation about joining the Parliament.

Hearing Bahrain's answer, Russell smiled with satisfaction: "On behalf of the Golden Council, I welcome you to join" A few people had just sat down, and at this time, the maid on the side brought a pot of wine for the three of them and put it down, and then knelt on the ground and took a few steps back before getting up and leaving.

Nikita took the initiative to get up and pour wine for the three of them, wrapped his left hand around his chest, and raised his glass with his right hand to gesture slightly, and his movements had an indescribable charm: "Everyone dies"

Bahrain and Russell also raised their glasses and said: "Everyone dies"

After taking a sip, Russell got up and said to Nikita: "Entertain our Bahraini parliamentarian on my behalf, and I'll go and help him with the formalities."

Bahrain also got up and thanked him before sitting down with Nikita again.

For a while, he couldn't find any topic, so he looked curiously at the unsullied people in black sleeveless wallets. Some wonder why they want to be "gone underneath"

He wondered if the Unsullied were squatting when they urinated or if they had just cut off two balls!

"You're interested in the Unsullied?" asked Nikita with a lazy smile on her face as she noticed that Balin was looking at the Unsullied again.

Bahrain, who was going out for the first time, was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and felt that he was rude. "I'm just curious, why," he said, making a slight cutting motion.

"Most of the glorious councillors are inherited by blood, so many women throughout the Golden Garden. If you don't take some measures, it's hard to keep your blood pure."

As soon as Nikita said this, it dawned on Bahrain to realize. I was a little surprised by the slavery here. The area of the Palace of Wisdom from Bahrain has abolished slavery for many years.

Although the town where Bahrain is located belongs to another wizarding holy place, the Palace of Wisdom, compared to the free and relaxed access system here in the Tower of Babel, the strict examination and plan access system of the Palace of Wisdom is more old-fashioned.

In this regard, Bahrain has always disdained to call the Palace of Wisdom should be renamed the Palace of Foolishness. When the admission system becomes a competition, free and open thinking is bound to be shackled by the content of the test.

Wizards need to think outside the box, not play around with rules within a fixed framework. This is also the reason why the Palace of Wisdom has the oldest inheritance and the largest population base, but it has never been able to produce a top wizard.

In the face of strange and somewhat beautiful women, Bahrain has always been a little shy. I don't know what to say.

On the contrary, Nikita always has a friendly smile on his face, and continues to introduce some of the customs and customs of Bahrain.

Through Nikita's introduction, Balin learned that not all people with wizard blood can inherit the glorious councillors here.

Although in the beginning, the identity of the councillor is indeed that all people with wizard blood have it. But as time passed, the bloodlines began to spread out more and more.

The number of people is getting bigger and bigger, so the Golden Council has no choice but to slowly start to control the number of members. Other descendants who fail to succeed to the status of Legislator can only be elected annually through the House of Glory and the House of Lords. As a result, another kind of parliamentarian other than the Honorable Member has also developed.

Honorable Members are for life, and their status may be hereditary. Elected MPs serve only one year and are required to re-elect. Such members of parliament can wear a gorse wreath when they attend parliament, so they are also called gorse councillors.

The entire Sea of Stars is divided into ten constituencies, each of which can only have 100 Plantagenet councillors. A total of 1,000. The seat of the Honourable Councillors is the House of Lords, while the House of Commons is the House of Commons. The House of Lords gives 10 seats to the majority party in the House of Commons every year to participate in politics in the House of Lords.

Today, there are dozens of large and small political parties in the entire Sea of Stars, and it is true that only the Republican Party, which has the longest history, the Prophet Party, and the Mystical Party, have the largest number of people. The House of Lords has always been controlled by these three parties on a rotational basis.

According to Nikita, Russell and she are both Republican congressmen. Russell is the whip of the Republican Party, not only ruling the internal order of the Republican Party, but also unifying the internal votes of the Republican Party. At the same time, it also has the authority to introduce new members to the Republican Party.

Listening to Nikita's introduction, Bahrain silently began to plan for its future development.

Soon Russell returned, reaching out and handing Bahrain a golden knot, a symbol of the Honorable Parliamentarian of the Representative.

After a short conversation between the three of them, Balin took his leave.

The lower three floors of the Golden Garden are the residences of the Honorable Members, the upper two floors are the seat of the House of Commons, and the top floor is the office of the Speaker and the Cabinet.

Now that Bahrain has joined parliament, Russell's help in coordinating the resettlement of the new home. After thanking Bahrain, he returned to the tavern. It is worth mentioning that the lower three floors are arranged according to the number of sections on the Honorable Councillor's Day Battle. The ground floor is inhabited by a section of parliamentarians, and Bahrain is a section of parliamentarians. In this increment, Russell and Nikita are both the highest members of the three sections.

There is a strict system of censorship within the House of Glory for the promotion of the Glory Rank, which Bahrain still can't figure out for a while. I figured out the role of the festival.

The festival is not only a status symbol, but also a vote. One section has one vote, one section has only one vote for itself, two votes for section two, and section three for three votes.

In this way, Bahrain's entry into the Republican Party can be regarded as adding a valuable vote to the Republican Party. It is not difficult to understand that Russell, as the party whip, was so affectionate to him.

Bahrain walked all the way back to his room at the Dream Tavern, armed with a knot in hand. Although the fat man looked at the festival battle in his hand and had expected it, he still couldn't hide his envy.

Although the fat man is also a member of the Golden Council, the gold coin does not have the right to participate in politics. As the name suggests, they are nothing more than the wealth of the Parliament.

The newcomer to Bahrain had so much to think about in his head that he didn't say much to the fat man. After a few small talks, thanksgiving and blessings, Bahrain returned to his room. Let Rose go downstairs and order some food and drinks, then close the door and sit on the balcony to think quietly.

He still has a long way to go, and he must carefully plan his own development.

Bahrain stayed in the tavern for two more days before Russell personally came over and invited Bahrain to stay on the first floor of the Golden Garden. And on behalf of the Republican Party, he presented four beautiful women and slaves from Bahrain.

The residences on the first floor of the Golden Garden are two floors of fine stone houses surrounded by beautiful and gorgeous gardens. There are not only public gardens on the periphery, but also independent private gardens belonging to the members themselves. The furnishings in the residences are also quite luxurious and exquisite.

What Bahrain loves most is the huge balcony and the large bath with its own water pumping facilities. Bahrain even thinks that the size of the baths is not an exaggeration to call it a swimming pool.

This is the luxurious life that the glorious parliamentarians have been living all along, and it is also the extravagant life of Mr. Bahraini parliamentarians in the future.
