People participating in the court meeting arrived one after another.
As Tianyang's recommender, Peter enthusiastically introduced him to the congressmen one by one. Soon, Tianyang saw Lin Jianping and a man walking in. The man walking next to Lin Jianping had a slightly brown complexion and facial features with the deep contours of the Western Continent, as well as the ethnic characteristics of the Central Continent and the Eastern Continent. He seemed to be of mixed blood.
He has jet black hair that is naturally slightly curly, and one of his eyes is brown and the other is dark blue, which is very peculiar.
He seemed to notice that Tianyang was observing him, and turned to look over. When their eyes met, although the other party did not release any aura, Tianyang felt as if he was looking up to a mountain.
Lin Jianping also noticed Tianyang, smiled slightly, said something to the man, and then came over alone.
Peter Desmonk whispered to Tianyang, "The guy who was talking to Lao Lin is called Tuge. He is a 'Fortress' class and has the title of 'Strongest Shield' in the Council."
"So far, no one has been able to break his defense, at least not me. As for whether Lao Lin can do it, there is no way to know because they have never competed."
Tianyang glanced at the burly man next to him and thought to himself, it sounds like you have already challenged someone to a competition.
At this time, Lin Jianping came over and smiled at Tianyang, "How is it, are you used to the flying ship?"
Tian Yang responded: "It's okay. I've ridden it once before, so I'm pretty used to it."
"That's good. The court meeting is about to begin. You should be familiar with the procedures, right?"
Tianyang nodded. Before coming, the guide had told him the general process of the court meeting. Every year, the Speaker of the Council usually announced one or two important matters at the beginning, and then let everyone vote. Then, the fortresses represented by the council members and the various transactions between the churches were carried out.
The last part is the communication session. If there is anything that needs to be voted on during this period, it needs to be raised to the Speaker and his consent must be obtained before the vote can be taken.
The court meeting was about to begin. Peter patted Tianyang on the shoulder, then left with Lin Jianping and sat in their seats as permanent directors.
But Tianyang was not lonely. As soon as Peter left, the congressmen sitting next to him took the initiative to communicate with him. In their eyes, Tianyang was definitely not a small figure, as he was recommended by Peter Desmonk and could talk to Lin Jianping.
Tianyang is also happy to communicate with these parliamentarians, exchange information and establish channels, which will be of great help to the development of Lieyang Castle and a suggestion he will put forward next.
Time passed bit by bit, and when the hall was almost full, Tianyang suddenly felt something and looked towards the door.
A figure walked in from the gate. He looked like a middle-aged man, but he was wearing a mask. On the black mask, a symbol was painted in silver: K!
Tianyang didn't recognize this symbol, but he knew that the person who came in was the president of the Golden Court.
"The president is here."
“I don’t know if it’s the same person this year.”
"The 'K' family is the founder of the Council and has always supported the development of the Council. It doesn't matter whether the people who come are the same. What matters is that they represent the will of the 'K' family."
The parliamentarians next to him were discussing in a low voice, and through them, Tianyang got more information about the Speaker of the Parliament.
When boarding the airship, the guide also briefly introduced the information of the speaker. Tianyang knew the name of the speaker of each term.
The characters are all different, but they all come from the 'K' family.
This is a family with a long history. It is rumored that they were the first people in the world to explore the reverse world. Some people suspect that their family is related to the legendary figure "Kraf", but there has been no direct evidence. Of course, no one cares about this now.
However, as the forerunners of the 'reverse world', the 'K' clan acquired a great deal of wealth in the world behind the Kraft Gate, and through generations of accumulation, after the collapse of the Silver Empire, they united with other fortresses to create the Golden Council.
The Speaker of the Golden Council has always been a member of their tribe, but at the beginning of its establishment, the first rule of the council pointed out that the Speaker has only one vote, and his rights are equal to those of the members, and the Speaker cannot have more rights than the members.
Therefore, the president of the Golden Court does not have great power, they are more like organizers and initiators of court meetings. Of course, their influence is definitely greater than any member present.
When the Speaker of the House appeared, the meeting room naturally became quiet. The middle-aged man wearing a black mask walked to a high platform. When he stood on it, all the lights in the hall went out, leaving only a lamp falling on the Speaker.
The man chuckled under his mask and said in a relaxed tone, "Well, this year's court meeting will begin now."
The court meeting will last for three consecutive days.
On the first day of the court meeting, the Speaker of the Court gave a brief account of the important events that had occurred on the three continents in the past year, in order to inform other parliamentarians and fortresses that had not yet received the news and were not aware of the matter.
This year, the two events that can be called major events are naturally related to Hell Castle.
One was the war started by Hell Castle in Central China; the other was the news that Hell Castle had fallen and was occupied by the Black People.
Everyone present had heard about these two events, but they didn't know them in detail. For example, the fall of Hell Castle was only known to those who had participated in the suppression war. The lord of Hell Castle was parasitized by the ancient will and turned into an 'alien god'.
When they heard that the alien god had appeared, there was an uproar in the hall. After all, these people knew about the first alien god war and how tragic that war was.
People didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they heard that Peter Desmonk had killed the alien god in Hell Castle.
Then, the President of the Senate mentioned the assassination of Lin Jianping by "Wuying". This happened in Western Land, and the only people who knew the news for the time being were the people from Western Land and Guanghui Castle. Now hearing about this, many parliamentarians exclaimed.
When they heard that the new member of the Golden Council, Lieyang Castle, had set up a trap to surround and kill a member of the "Twelve Branches", the councilors sitting near Tianyang looked at Tianyang with even more scorching eyes.
After all the important events were reported, the Speaker of the Chamber raised an issue.
He hoped that the participating members and the fortresses they represented could unite and ask for help from the four major churches so as to launch a series of actions against "Shadowless". Taking advantage of the moment when they were hit hard, they could force out this organization that had been hiding in the shadows, fight it out, try to destroy it, and solve this huge hidden danger once and for all.
The issue quickly went to the voting stage.
Considering that 'Wuying' was so crazy that he wanted to assassinate the lord of Guanghui Castle, Lin Jianping, who had the title of 'The Strongest Sword', the councillors were all worried, so this issue was passed almost unanimously. Next, the Golden Court and the four major churches will make a detailed plan and then inform the councillors of the specific plan.
Therefore, today's court meeting ended after finalizing the matter of dealing with 'Wuying'.
On the next day, Tianyang witnessed another aspect of the court meeting.
The theme of today's court meeting is trade and circulation. The members attending the meeting have already compiled a list of the materials they need, and when they arrive at the meeting, they can propose them one by one.
So at today's court meeting, there were endless transactions, some successful and some failed, some gainful and some disappointing.
In a blink of an eye, the court meeting came to its last day.
Today is a day to exchange the various information that the members of parliament have. Of course, if it is not important information, no one will bring it up in court, thus wasting everyone's time.
Before attending the court meeting, Lieyang Castle drafted a report document and handed it to the Speaker of the Court after going through formal procedures.
So when the court was halfway through, the chairman of the court, who was wearing a black mask, coughed dryly and interrupted, "Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard of the No. 2 Reverse Realm?"
Lin Jianping's eyes moved as he asked, "Reverse Realm No. 2, is it the one that the former 'King of Conquerors' led his army to explore?"
The Speaker of the Chamber nodded and said, "Yes, that is the one."
"We all know that the Reverse Realm No. 2 was closed after the collapse of the Silver Empire. But recently, it has been reopened. Yes, the one who manages the Clave Gate now is our new member, the Fiery Sun Castle."
"According to the exploration of the No. 2 Reverse Realm by Lieyang Fort, they discovered that this Reverse Realm once existed in a dark empire. A black king was born in that world, but the dark empire and the black king were severely damaged by the army of the 'Conqueror King' and were torn apart."
"Perhaps it is for this reason that the Reverse Realm was closed. But now, Lieyang Castle has obtained some clues from the exploration of the Reverse Realm. The Lord of Tianyang City believes that the capital of the Dark Empire still exists, and the Black King is only injured but not dead."
"In order to prevent the tragedy of Hell Castle from happening again, Fiery Sun Castle decided to send troops to the capital of the Dark Empire to try to find the Black King who might still be sleeping and try to kill him."
"But everyone knows that Lieyang Fort is only a small fortress. They have the determination, but they are not strong enough. Therefore, Councillor Tianyang has made a request to the parliament, asking all parties to send troops to form a coalition army, and all the proceeds will be fairly distributed by the parliament."
"I personally think that it is necessary to send troops on an expedition. Otherwise, if the Black King in the No. 2 Reverse Realm awakens, I'm afraid the disaster caused will far exceed that of Hell Castle."
"So here, I decide to make this matter one of the items on the agenda and let everyone vote on it. What do you think?"
Lin Jianping, several standing directors, and other councillors immediately started discussing in a low voice. The discussion did not last long before they all expressed their opinions and agreed to vote on the matter.
The Speaker of the Chamber nodded and made a gesture, and a virtual screen appeared above the hall, which would be used to display the voting results.
"Then everyone can begin."
Lin Jianping pressed the 'Agree' option without much thought.
Soon after, Peter Desmonk also voted in favor.
The voting results came out quickly. There were 46 votes, one abstention, two vetoes, and the rest voted in favor.
Thus, the expedition was decided!
