Chapter 244 New Power Next
On the seventh day after the end of the Battle of Baishi City, Leon handed over the defense of Baishi City to the commander of the Third Regiment and led 670 thunder beast warriors on the journey back.
The winter has passed and spring has returned to the earth, and the glorious continent has gradually entered the most beautiful season.
The empty original wild machine is green everywhere, and the warm sun shines on the earth. The wind blowing from the south is full of spring, which makes people intoxicated.
On the farmland on both sides of the road, farmers were busy ploughing and sowing. Many birds went up and down in the field and stole seeds. Several children laughed and ran past the raft of the field, leaving a string of crisp laughter like silver bells.
From the dangerous polar north ice to here, Leon's iron-blooded heart couldn't help softening, and the bloody smell on his body seemed to dissipate in the spring breeze.
In front of him, the majestic and vast royal capital Uglu is looming.
On this return to Uglu, Leon mainly wanted to accept the official title of the kingdom, and he also needed to pay a visit to the high priest of Farns in person to express his gratitude.
So after entering the province of Shengyao, Leon was divided into two routes. He took Rose and five guards to Ugru, while Rock Hammer led the army directly back to Sal.
The surrounding area of the royal capital is heavily guarded. Without the permission of the military department, leading troops into Uglu can be regarded as a rebellion. As Leon is still a baron, it is not allowed to bring more guards.
Of course, as the center of the kingdom, there is no problem with security.
After nearly two months, Leon entered the royal capital again.
Uglu, which has entered the spring, became more and more lively, and the streets were bustling with pedestrians. Because there were too many carriages on the streets, it even caused congestion.
This makes Leon think of the same scene caused by the existence of a dense population and a large number of rich classes in the big cities of his original world.
Although there is a huge war in the north, and countless people will die in the war, the atmosphere of war there obviously can't affect here at all. It is crowded in the sea of people, giving Leon the illusion of getting lost.
With great difficulty, Leon found a hotel with rooms on a relatively remote street. Because there are too many outsiders who have come to Wangdu recently, the hotels of all sizes are full. It's lucky to find this one.
After checking in, Leon took a day off and accompanied Rose to the store to buy some clothes and other daily necessities. The next day, he went to the Wangdu Senate.
The Royal Senate is located at the foot of Shenshan Mountain. It is a luxury building complex in the royal capital, second only to the temple and the royal palace. It can be called the power center of the kingdom.
The power system of the Kingdom of Bemon is relatively special. The King of Bemon Beasts, the supreme owner of power, is not hereditary. Theoretically, the six upper races of lions, tigers, wolves, foxes and eagles are all qualified to claim the throne.
For thousands of years, the throne of the beast king has been basically controlled by the four descendants of lions, tigers, wolves and foxes. Now the king of Bemon is the descendants of tigers, and it is the Senate of the Kingdom that determines the throne.
The Senate of the kingdom has a total of 36 elders, of which only six are from the lower clan, and the remaining 30 are all from the upper clan. The King of the Beast of Bimeng was elected by these 36 elders.
The elders also represent the major forces of the kingdom. Although the kingship is supreme, even the king of Bimon has to bow his head to listen to the voice from the Senate. Without the support of a sufficient number of elders, his throne is unstable.
In the history of Bemon, there is no precedent for the beast king to be impeached and deposed by the elders.
In addition, the Senate also has the authority to manage the aristocracy, and the promotion and deposed of the aristocracy need to be completed through the Senate.
With the reward letter of the kingdom, after layers of strict investigation, Leon finally entered the magnificent central hall of the Senate.
This hall, which countless people are eager to step on, is hundreds of feet square. There is a crystal chandelier hanging on the high dome. Dozens of suspended ceilings and more than a dozen golden carved stone columns together form the pattern of the hall, giving people an incomparable sense of luxury and majesty.
On both sides of the hall, there is also a row of fully armed silver armored knights standing. They hold heavy swords with a cold look, and their straight bodies are motionless. If it is not for the murderous atmosphere revealed, it will definitely be mistaken for a sculpture.
A deacon of the Senate received Leon. The middle-aged nobleman of the wolf took Leon's reward letter with no expression on his face and asked Leon to sit on the sofa in the corner of the hall and wait.
For most of the day, the deacon of the Senate seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared. There were many people coming and going in the hall, but no one paid attention to Leon, as if he did not exist at all.
Such a cold treatment was unexpected by Leon, but when you think about it, it is not without reason. How can those high-ranking elders value a small baron and the local lord of the temple?
Although he was angry, Leon knew very well that he could not express his dissatisfaction. He knew almost nothing about the situation here, and any out of the ordinary behavior may lead to unpredictable risks.
You should know that this is the Senate of the Kingdom, which is the place where the whole Kingdom pays the most attention to rules and precepts!
I understand this, so Leonso doesn't do anything. Since the other party hangs him here, he will wait.
In terms of patience, he is no worse than anyone else.
So Leonso sat on the sofa, looking at his nose and mind, and concentrating on his whole body, he regarded the central hall of the Senate as his own practice room.
Reon didn't know that at this moment, at the other end of the central hall, in a suite, a nobleman was sitting behind the desk and observing him with interest.
And the deacon of the Senate who took Leon's reward letter stood aside respectfully.
This tiger aristocrat is about fifty or sixty years old, with a burly figure. His axe-like resolute face is full of majesty, and a pair of dark golden tiger eyes flashed a little light from time to time.
"Is he the Leon who surprisedly attacked the port of Linsk?" The tiger aristocrat played with the reward letter in his hand, with a smile on his face: "It's really young!"
There is a white crystal the size of a table mirror on his desk, which clearly shows the scene in the hall on the smooth crystal surface, in which Leon is.
"Yes, Elder!" The wolf deacon immediately replied, "It has been five hours since he came here."
"Very good young man..." The tiger aristocrat smiled: "There are few young people who are so calm. Unfortunately, he is a member of the temple, otherwise it is really worth cultivating. I heard that he has the blood of the tiger?"
"Yes, my lord!"
"It's a pity..." The tiger nobles sip their lips: "The horse dung in the military are playing this repressive trick again and throwing him into our senate. Is it because we can't see their little thought?"
The baron was promoted to the viscount and added the territory. This meat will come out of the Senate. Although the military achievements must not be erased, the military's attitude of being away from the matter made the elders very unhappy, especially the disputes between several major forces were involved.
However, the wolf deacon dares not take his words. The elder can contemptuate the arrogant generals and officers of the grison army as "horse dung". A small baron deacon is absolutely not qualified to join such a topic.
Of course, the tiger aristocrat did not really want to discuss with him. He pondered for a moment, picked up the quil pen on the table and quickly signed his name under the reward letter, and finally stamped it with a badge.
"Okay, apply for a viscount and a new territory certificate for him, and let him go back!" The tiger nobleman waved his hand and said, "We have to give some face to the temple more or less."
The wolf deacon took the reward letter and bowed to the tiger nobles.
"Oh!"
Just as the wolf deacon was about to leave the room to apply for a certificate, the tiger aristocrat suddenly looked and his eyes were fixed on the crystal stone.
The crystal surface shows that an aristocratic woman in a white dress is walking towards Leon, and he is not unfamiliar with the beautiful figure.
"Corinna, why are you here?"
Reang stared at the beautiful woman who appeared in front of him.
The other party is Corinna, who he hasn't seen for a long time, the mysterious and beautiful female owner of the forest goblin bar, rumored to be Sophia. Descendants of the Queen of the Rhine.
In Tomund, the two had a short relationship, and Corinne gave Leon a lot of help. There was also a trace of ambiguity between them. Unfortunately, all this dissipated with Corinne's departure.
But now, in the central hall of the Senate, he actually saw the woman who moved him again, and he couldn't help but be more happy.
"Why can't I be here?"
Long time no see, Corinna didn't seem to have changed at all. She wrinkled her little nose, revealing a little playful and cunning.
Leon stood up and had an impulse to pour her into his arms, but at least he knew that this place was not suitable, so he could only forcibly suppress his excitement.
"Let's sit down and talk..." Corinna smiled and regained her grace, as charming as before: "I've heard a lot about you. You came to the Senate for the promotion of the title, right?"
She naturally sat down beside Leon.
Leon sat down again, sniffed the familiar fragrance of the other party, and was much happier: "Yes, but the rules here are too big. I came here in the morning and waited for almost five sand hours here."
" By the way, you haven't told me why you were here? Do you mean to work here?"
Reon once heard that Corinne was deprived of her territory and driven out of Ugru, so she came to Tomond City. Now it is a little intriguing for her to return to Ugru.
