Before someone unscrupulously expanded the size of the councillor, the councilor of Sulphur Mountain used to be a respected profession.
As representatives of various industries and the interests of various races, they can negotiate with the Executive Yuan, the judicial system, and the city lord, and put forward opinions and plans. If this opinion is supported by the entire council, even the city lord must face it.
When Adam made it clear that when the mascot does not matter, the judicial system is only interested in law and order and trial, many times, the parliament can even make concessions to the unsupported Executive Yuan, even if the head of the Executive Yuan is the great sage Margaret.
Of course, rights also represent interests. It is just a business tax and the access of commodities, which represents countless golden currencies. As these members realize the interests in their hands, how can they be willing to be only a mere businessman civilian.
After all, in this world, there are nobles who are "naturally noble", and there are even royals whose "country is my private property". People's hearts will never be satisfied. In the comfort and peace, they naturally look higher...
But now, when ordinary workers, farmers, aunts from neighborhood committees, and little fish sellers have all become members of parliament, when the issues of "is dancing in the square in the morning a nuisance to the people" and "can the parliament provide free lunches" have replaced " On issues such as whether to buy black gold ore from Caron City, the identities of those big businessmen, patriarchs, and senators were invisibly lowered, which naturally made them very dissatisfied.
And when the overly bloated parliamentary configuration completely made the parliament slow and sluggish, and the opposing parliamentarians sprayed and fought each other, creating a arena for the citizens to watch the lively arena, the original first-generation parliamentarians were even more distressed, and firmly hated them. to the seemingly friendly counselor—the devilishly cunning and evil Sleepless One.
"Speaker Grant, please make up your mind!!"
At this moment, in the office of Speaker Grant, a group of young and energetic Covenant members had surrounded the old and mediocre Speaker, but at this time, they were forcing him to pay attention.
"The city is full of fugitives now, and the chaos is inevitable. We have to protest to the mediocre city lord, dismiss the stupid masked man who dereliction of duty and investigate! And disband the disgusting group of dark elves!"
"Yes, the city lord's deputy Annie is too young, inexperienced, and unable to convince the public, which led to the chaos, and should be dismissed and punished together!"
The desk made of precious mahogany was knocked by the excited parliamentarians, but the old speaker turned his head and looked out the window. It was time to get off work. In the past, people returning home were everywhere. Young couples wandering in the garden, shops along the street sell dinners with various ethnic characteristics, the fragrant vegetable fragrance has been passed down a long way...
But at this time, the smoke billows everywhere, the streets that used to be full of laughter, but now there is nothing but screams of fear and fire! !
"Enough." Taking a deep breath, the old speaker, known for his mediocrity, calmly took off his eyes and looked at his well-dressed colleagues.
"What?" Senator Kahn, headed by him, did not expect such a reaction from the Speaker.
"Crack! I said, that's enough!"
The old man's roar shocked all the councilors. Those blood-red eyes were like a beast that devoured people. Even if they were used to the noisy council, they were shocked by the mediocre president who used to speak like chanting scriptures and dozed off after drinking tea. The old guy has such an angry side.
"In addition to the fugitives, there should be your private soldiers. You know what you are doing, and you are rebelling!!"
The anger of the old speaker made the members take a step back subconsciously, but Kahn, who was regarded as the most likely to become the next speaker, stood up.
"Sulphur Mountain City belongs to everyone, so how could it be a rebellion? We just asked City Lord Adam to come back to support the work and punish the officials who neglected their duties. After the situation stabilizes, we will ask him to be the permanent honorary lord."
Looking at this luxuriously dressed middle-aged congressman, looking at himself calmly, Speaker Grant was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Oh, you are not stupid. I understand, you are afraid, you are afraid that after the old city lord abdicates, the young new city lord will not be able to shelter you in the chaotic dungeon world, you want to force Annie to go, and then let the old city lord be The so-called honorary city lord, continue to be your protector?"
"It's best if you can understand. At that time, you will be the future President of the Executive Yuan..."
"Shameless!!"
A mouthful of spit spit directly onto Kahn's face, and in an instant, the friendly face of the big boss of the gold and jade jewelry store was distorted.
"You want to drive away other people's righteous daughters, and then let others beat you to death, shameless people! It's because you dare to think, because you have the face to say it, this old man is ashamed of you being in the same company!!"
The members wanted to say something, but the furious old speaker didn't stop his accusations. He pointed his right hand at a spirited old gentleman.
"Lu Lunsi! Fifty years ago, because of your father's crime, your whole family became slaves and was sold to Karon City as a cult sacrifice. It was the kind-hearted old city owner who took the risk of breaking with Karon City and personally rescued him. You. I still remember that when you were a child, you cried and kowtowed 'the grace of saving your life will never be forgotten', is this how you repay your kindness?"
"Thun! Your father died in the line of duty for Sulphur Mountain, and you always appear in front of the citizens as a descendant of a hero. Humph! A descendant of a hero? A deserter who escaped and was killed by a stray bullet! Do you want to be embarrassed? Mag Lord Lita saw that your family needed pensions to live, and gave him an honorable death! Is this how you repay your kindness and forgiveness?"
"Xiu Denan! You, one of the three young heroes of our parliament, you have a miserable background, and thirteen members of your family were exterminated. You are the only one who survived. I ask you, who did it yourself? It took more than half a year to track down thousands of miles. , to bring the murderer back to trial and avenge you? Who arranged the grant for you to become an adult, but you can't answer it? Are you the best at long speeches and inciting public opinion? I tell you, it's the sleepless lord who you called the devil!"
"Carter! You are cursed by the blood of your family, if it weren't for the great sage..."
"Runas! You..."
"And you! Kahn! Let me ask you, when you were deceived and abandoned your family property? Who helped you recover some of your family property and asked the Executive Yuan to vouch for you, you think that with your old face, those unprofitable The goblins who don't wake up early will lend you money? You owe both Lord Margaret and Lord Sleepless, and you have the face to rebel against them?"
Members were named and scolded, but no one could lift their heads. After all, sometimes, in front of an old man who knew the bottom line, it was difficult for those who were ashamed to lift their heads. Sometimes, even the wicked knew that justice was at ease in their hearts.
"You shameless people seem to have forgotten where this place is. This is Brimstone Mountain City, a cursed dungeon world. Without the protection of the City Lord and the others for more than a hundred years, you powerless fellows have long since become Slaves and food for the strong..."
"Enough, you don't need to be the most mediocre old guy in the parliament in history, we will do it ourselves!"
Not only shy, but also angry, Kahn, who was flushed, turned his head and left.
The other members lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the faces of their colleagues. They were about to go out after Kahn. For them who were exposed, every second they stayed here was like a knife.
But the irony of the old man came from behind.
"Mediocre? I'm really mediocre and stupid, but do you know that I also set a parliamentary record?"
Although no one spoke up, when they heard the parliamentary record, the members all paused.
"Me, Grant Barr, this mediocre old guy, who has been in office for thirteen years, is the second-longest sitting Speaker of the Parliament, and I want to try to challenge my father Barr's record of sixteen years. It's a pity. , you are all messed up."
The speaker of the city, who is famous for being old and confused, but at this time, his face is flushed and he is full of energy. He is not confused at all, and sees strange emotions in the eyes of his colleagues. Is that... sympathy
"Hmph, just living for a long time, what is there to be proud of!"
"Ha, of course it's something to be proud of. The former speaker, Li Wensi, an oriental person, both civil and military, was under pressure and planned to reduce the number of members of the parliament. Everyone expected, the result?... Died, reigned for three years, and was made by a passing necromancer. Zombies."
"The former speaker, Carovin, was good at public speaking and was well received by the citizens. He organized demonstrations and forced the Executive President Margaret to make concessions several times. He was called the real uncrowned king of Brimstone City. Nian, died, his stomach was cut open by a pocket thief, his intestines flowed all over the place, and he died in an alley that no one cared about."
Kahn and the MPs were still impatient just now, but at this time, their faces were sweating profusely, and their vests were cold.
"Former former vice-speaker Ben, huh, the then-speaker Kaya was a pro-city lord faction, and as a result, he spread rumors and messed up the relationship between men and women, forcing people to jump off the building. Benn is indeed a talent, and his work is flawless, making the judicial system The rabid dogs of Kaya couldn't find any evidence, and the result?... She was involved in a bar fight and disappeared for more than 20 years, but every year on Kaya's death day, there is an extra man's part in front of her grave as a sacrifice. On the right finger, there is the copper ring of that old Benn, hehe."
At this moment, all the members turned their heads in fear, and no longer dared to look down on the old guy who fell into the ground at any time.
"Could it be Adam and the others!! I thought they were all good people..."
"It's true that Margaret and the old city owner are good people. But do you know what was the first name you called the devil-like sleepless person?"
"what?"
"A law executioner who is more evil and powerful than the devil. This is used to describe his invisible skills. Anyone who crosses the line without authorization, tramples on the code, no matter who it is, will be 'Kara'. You think you will incite, To revise public opinion and control public opinion, which adult can even revise his memory, and let the rumors change in the direction he wants, what is it?"
"My old man, the longest-serving old Barr in history, only said one word to me before he died. Do you know what it was?"
Now these frightened congressmen have the courage to talk to them, their faces are as pale as corpses, and Kahn, who takes the lead, roars.
"Old man! I'm not interested in knowing..."
But the old speaker shook his head and continued with a face full of memories.
"He said to me, 'Sulphur Mountain City is a paradise in the underworld, but that's because a devil has wrapped all the dirty work on himself and killed all the dirty things that are not as evil as him, so the face is naturally like heaven Clean and beautiful. If you want to be the speaker in the future, it's very simple. Be stupid, don't have ambitions beyond your ability, then, sooner or later, the fools in front of you will die, and you will be promoted.' Ha, he really said that By the way, our two longest-lived Speakers should also be the most mediocre Speakers in history."
At this time, Kahn still has the previous arrogance. He has a big mouth and can't stop breathing, like a toad that has landed on the shore. He feels that an invisible hinge is quietly placed on his neck, and the thread is close to Death is cold and suffocating.
"By the way, the rest of you should be able to defeat the Big Three by colluding with Caron City, and you think you can defeat the Big Three by colluding with the Dungeon Covenant? Become a future noble royal family? Hehe, you haven't seen a real war, naive children. No matter who Whoever wins or loses, the first one to get rid of are you despicable traitors."
"old man!!"
The impulsive Xiu Denan punched the old speaker in the face. Speaker Grant slammed into the table, his glasses shattered, and the corners of the old man's mouth and eyes were full of blood, but he smiled with satisfaction.
"Hehe, why do you think I tell you so much, I'm not afraid to spread the word? It's because I want to survive, idiots! Is that right? Lord Sleepless, the dead will not leak secrets, since these stupid snakes have already When you get out of the hole, you should almost be able to close the net."
"Crack, snap, snap." It was a strange applause like bones colliding, but at this moment, in the ears of the House of Representatives, it was a life-threatening note.
A slender figure came out of the shadows. Under the silver mask, there were a pair of cold red eyes, and the strange applause came from the crystal ball in the hands of the law enforcer.
"Silver Rose! The head of the intelligence organization [The Spectator]! The underground queen of Sulphur Mountain!" The sudden appearance of the notorious Intelligence Queen, a subordinate of the sleepless man, shattered the last line of defense of the councilor.
"you you… "
Seeing the excited-faced member who pointed at her rudely, Silver Rose frowned slightly, as if she was a little dissatisfied. With a snap of her fingers, the invisible thread all over the room tightened.
In the next second, all the councillors tightened their necks, and the invisible noose hung them up to the sky.
Yes, from the very beginning, the invisible shackles that Kahn felt were not delusions... As traitors, they had been sentenced - to death!
"Uh!!" After a few seconds, like a grass carp that was hoisted ashore, the struggling members calmed down one by one, forever calm...
Seeing his colleague who was suddenly hanged, old Grant was also nervous.
But the voice in the crystal ball made him relax.
"It turns out that I underestimated you and your father. Forget it, you are quite satisfactory. If you don't want the white-haired person to send the black-haired person, take good care of your grandson who always makes trouble in your name. By the way, come on in the next election, I look forward to your election."
Silver Rose still didn't look at her. After bowing and salute, she took a step back and disappeared into the shadows again.
And the old speaker leaning on the table, gasping for breath, became the only living person in the room...
"Haha, haha!! I survived! I survived!"
Even though Silver Rose has walked out of the building, the old man's laughter after the catastrophe has spread far...
Today's Brimstone Mountain City has completely fallen into chaos, with fugitives and private soldiers of big businessmen fighting, smashing and looting, and outside the city are the dark elves and the elite troops who are preparing to infiltrate. It seems that the underground world paradise has become hell.
At the same time, on a high tower, I was looking at the chaos and chaos below, and behind me, the Director of the Law Enforcement Department Snowhoof, the Minister of the Law Department Kahler, and the Director of the Judgment Department Kevin, all of them. Full of anger, he looked at the tragic situation below.
"Okay, okay, don't make a bitter face, it's almost rotten to the core, how can I cut off the rotten flesh without bleeding, how can I remember the pain without being beaten on the head. In order to seal the desire for peace. In the minds of these idiots, for the sake of the stability and peace of Brimstone Mountain City for the next 30 years, just be patient. Besides, our people have also begun to act, and they will soon get better."
And when Silver Rose, um, Eliza, my head maid, reappeared in front of me, I knew things had changed again.
"Huh? That group of fools really colluded with other dungeons, and the army is about to enter the city? Hehe, the Four Heavenly Kings, we are having fun, let's go play together."
