"Earl, is the council the opportunity you pointed out to us?" Raymond said respectfully, the development of the Hidden Alliance in the past few years has been smooth sailing compared to the past, and most of it is thanks to Solomon.

"Well, it's an opportunity, but you don't have the power to influence the House of Lords yet. Solomon frowned, the contradiction between the nobility of the kingdom and the royal family is now limited to the House of Lords, but the House of Commons is suppressed by the House of Lords in terms of authority, and I am afraid that it will not do much at first.

But in any case, it can be regarded as the first step, and with the competition of forces of all parties, the balance of power may not change.

Solomon, of course, was not a great time-traveler, and he wanted to create a testing ground for democracy and freedom in this world, just to make this world easier for him to survive.

The world dominated by hereditary power is more restrictive to him, and of course it is better to break it.

Now it is definitely difficult for the House of Commons to confront the House of Lords alone, even if the difference in innate authority is not considered, the members of the House of Commons who were elected at the beginning are still too immature in terms of politics, even with the help of a consortium like Rose Bank, the gap is obvious.

But Solomon is not in a hurry, immaturity will eventually come to maturity one day, after the commoner-born merchant class began to pass the Guò House of Commons to enter the stage of the kingdom's politics, as long as they realize that they can use Guò to protect their rights and interests, and even provide conditions for their great development, it will definitely support it.

Solomon is very soberly aware that although he is now in the House of Lords, his ass will definitely sit and support the House of Commons to expand its powers, equal power with the House of Lords, and even suppress the House of Lords in the future. It's like now the House of Lords only wants to use the House of Commons as an embellishment.

Edward was playing hard. Solomon was also pushing the boat down the river. With the gradual increase of his status, prestige, and authority, all parties have their own ideas about what situation the Asturian government will go to.

The Rose Bank and the Secret Alliance behind it have become important allies of Solomon, and Solomon pointed out the best way for them to get involved in the politics of the Terrans, and then to introduce their own spokesmen to "whitewash" the Bloodline.

And this approach, in the current House of Commons. The easiest thing to do with the Secret Alliance is also to start from the House of Commons, most of the House of Lords are big nobles, with a deep background, and it is not impossible for the blood clan to want to control them to speak for themselves, but the cost is much higher than finding a spokesperson in the House of Commons; Solomon pointed out for the blood clan that what they need is "equality and freedom", equality can be extended to the fact that the blood clan also has the power to appear in the sun, and the freedom is to sell their bodies. Including blood, as a person's power and values are accepted by people. Then it is also moral that the blood clan can buy blood with money.

And these will definitely not be accepted by the House of Lords, and Edward will not be able to support it, because this is also contrary to the royal power, he just wants to check and balance, but he does not intend to give equality and freedom, all equal and free, so what is royal power?

The biggest investment of the Hidden Alliance will definitely be to actively look for a spokesperson in the House of Commons in the future, but at present, the House of Lords is suppressing the House of Commons, and they must also find someone who can speak for them in the House of Lords, otherwise just one proposal right can be a headache at this stage.

So Solomon was not only their long-time ally, mentor and partner in politics, but at this stage it was almost their only option in the House of Lords.

"Don't worry, if you need to use my proposal power, as long as it doesn't harm my interests, I will agree to help. Solomon smiled, he didn't mind being used by Edward or the Hidden Alliance, as long as he could get greater benefits.

"Then the Earl can rest assured, as long as the Earl wants to do something, we will also fully support it. "Raymond reciprocated on behalf of the Hidden Alliance.

Both sides laughed at the same time, Solomon patted his knees, and muttered: "I really need your support for some things, some things are not just a matter of funds, if they are all invested by me, too conspicuous, may attract the attention and fear of others, and it may be more suitable for you to share a part." However, there is one more thing, it seems that the Hidden Alliance should give me something in return. ”

"Do you mean to come into contact with the underground clans of the Dark Council?" Raymond seemed to be prepared, "Count can rest assured that our sincerity to you is not false, and this matter has been raised recently. Prince David has asked me to inform you that we formally invite you to participate in the latest Dark Council in three days' time. ”――

Three days later, in an underground cave on the border between Asturias and a certain country.

Several Bloods walked with Solomon, and they walked through one underground cavern after another, most recently stopping in front of a large cavern.

This cave is markedly different from the others in that the entrance is closed by a large bronze gate, apparently artificially added.

"Here it is, it's one of the twelve usual meeting points of the Dark Council. Prince David nodded to Solomon, walked out of the procession, his hands shining brightly, and pushed open the bronze gate.

Solomon nodded, along the way he heard Prince David say that since the forces that make up the Dark Council include underground tribes, blood clans and undead on the surface, and the strong people who join in their personal capacity are basically on the surface, in order to show fairness, twelve common discussion points have been set up in various places, which can be regarded as cunning rabbits.

The bronze door was pushed open, the inside was completely different from the outside world, it was carefully paved with white jade-like stones in every part of the cave, in the center was a huge long table with a length of more than 20 meters, thirteen chairs were divided, and the two sides represented the twelve dark councilors who could sit down, and the one in the middle above was the rotating chairman, according to the rules of the dark council, it was held in turn every ten years, and the advantage of being the speaker was that he could ask to take the initiative to convene the meeting, which was equivalent to the right to take the initiative to propose, and the other councilors must have more than four to start the discussion。

The Dark Councillors were already seated at the long table, and Solomon glanced at it, and the top Speaker's seat was a lich with two red eyes, and if I was not mistaken, the other party was the demigod Lich Matthias who had just suffered a big loss in the Fadell plane.

In this decade, the rotating speaker of the Dark Council happened to fall into the hands of the Isle of the Dead, so it is no wonder that he can lightly initiate a proposal to help the demon party enter the Dark Council and kick out the Secret Alliance.

"David, Mammon, Francis didn't come?wait, who is he?Why was he allowed to sit in Francis's place?" Matthieus's voice was not emotional, but suddenly it turned sharp, and he looked at Solomon, the two princes of the blood clan had already taken their seats, and Solomon actually took the seat of the third member of the Hidden Alliance, which originally belonged to Francis.

"That's because Francis needs to sleep, so he authorizes the Earl Solomon to represent him at the meeting. "As for the reason for Francis's slumber, I think you know better than I do you the reason for Francis's slumber."

Although the blood clan is an immortal species, it does not mean that they can survive forever, and they will also decay and die, Francis is one of the three princes of the Secret Alliance, and the upper limit of life span is running out, and he had to enter a deep sleep before;

"Who is he?" spoke on the left, and was a black-robed mage who still maintained the appearance of a human race.

Solomon glanced at the other party, recalled the information provided to him by the Hidden Alliance, and recognized him as Stephen, the newly promoted legendary mage of the Isle of the Dead, and a huge mummy sat below him, and the Isle of the Dead also had three seats in the Dark Council, and the position where Stephen was sitting was supposed to belong to the Black Knight Emperor, but he was hit hard in the battle of the Fadel plane, and he also entered a sleep similar to that of a blood prince, so the seat was replaced by Stephen.

"Stephen, don't you also take the seat of the Black Knight Emperor. Prince David sneered, and then he gave an introduction to Solomon.

"According to the previous agreement, as long as there are more than two councillors as a guarantor, a new person can be introduced to become a parliamentary observer, and he has me and Mammon as a guarantor, and it is enough to be an observer, and with the status of an observer, Francis is willing to authorize him, just like the current Black Knights Emperor authorizes Stephen. Prince Mammon said.

"Well, he can take the place of Francis for the time being, just like Stephen can take the place of the Black Knight Emperor. The red glint in Mathias' eyes flickered.

The other MPs also nodded their heads in recognition of the pre-meeting eligibility ruling.

"Then it's time to deliberate, just the last time we proposed to allow the Demon Banquet Alliance to join the Dark Council and add two more seats, I would like to ask you if you have thought about it, and now you can officially vote on it. Matthieus' cold voice rang out.

"We are against it. Prince David said that he, Mammon, and Solomon, who represented Francis, were all three votes against it.

"We still insist on agreeing. Mummy, Stephen, who represent the Isle of the Dead, plus Matthius, who is the rotating speaker, also voted three in favor.

Three to three.

The rest is Mitaunos, the Spirit Suckers, the Rose Spiders, the Hippogriffs, and the Harpy Witches, who represent the Underground Clan, and Mikot, who joins the Dark Council as a legendary powerhouse, but it is not clear from the surface that he has any unusual bloodline.

"Wait a minute, I have something to say before you vote. Solomon smiled and stood up, his hands propped on the table. (To be continued......)
