Chapter 397 Three-person Parliament
"Thom! Did such a bad thing happen at Baldur's Gate?!"
Priest Luxiut watched the whole thing from the sidelines During the interrogation process, although we don’t know the future process, we don’t know the Supreme God event that will happen in the future. However, just the appearance of the legendary ancient Netheril artifact is shocking enough, not to mention the person who controls this artifact. Or the chosen one of the three gods of death.
“The chosen people of the three gods of death have actually united! And they also want to rely on artifacts to control the mastermind of the illithids, and use this to directly raise an army of mind flayers! I must report this matter to you immediately Other acting city lords reported this situation! "
Eltoril's city lord system is very unique. Each city lord is elected by citizens through voting, but the previous city lord, Tavis... Craig betrayed them, and the impact of this incident was so bad that people could no longer trust the city lord as before.
The highest power belongs to one person, which means that no one can restrict any action of the city lord. Tavisk Regg once almost ruined all of their lives. This incident was enough to sound the alarm for all of them, so here In the past ten days, the House of Representatives has tried more than once to calm people's panic in this regard.
In the end, with the help of Duke Ravengard, Eltoril's House of Representatives decided to implement a four-person parliamentary system similar to Baldur's Gate, in order to avoid the occurrence of centralization incidents to the greatest extent. , the House of Representatives made some improvements to this system.
They selected one person from each of the noble representatives, temple representatives and civilian representatives, and based on these three people, they formed a three-person parliament city lord system.
The above three people respectively represent three groups in the city. This division will ensure fairness to the greatest extent, and the power will be divided to a great extent. In order to prevent disagreements among the three , causing the decree to be unable to be implemented, they established a system called the High Consul.
The senior consuls will be selected in turn from the above three people. The current tentative plan is to rotate among the three every five years. Through this method of taking turns to govern, they will maximize their ability to govern. Ensure the purity of the highest level and infinitely minimize the possibility of this incident happening again.
Chief Priest Luxiut is the representative of the temple elected by everyone. In addition to him, the representative of the temple, there are also Marquis Fernando as the representative of the nobility, Alistair Lucent as the representative of the civilians, a believer in Thom Paladin.
In fact, in the matter of selecting civilian representatives, the House of Representatives once elected Ska Chitrugu because he performed very well in this incident. Not only did he fight bravely to kill the enemy in the final battle, After the city was liberated, he directly returned the weapons of the supreme judges of the past generations, the symbol of power of the entire Eltoril [Record of Light], and together with Nohir, he captured the former city lord who had turned into a demon.
In terms of merit, he is fully worthy of this position, and he himself is a paladin with firm faith and an experienced hell rider. In the eyes of those who know him well, Scar is another An exemplary knight, it can be said that he only needed to nod his head to gain unparalleled glory and power, but Ska voluntarily gave up.
People asked him why? Scar just evaded it by saying that even if his family has declined, he cannot deny that he does have the status of a noble, and it is impossible for a noble to serve as a representative of the common people.
For this reason, the House of Representatives expressed that they did not understand it, but they could barely explain it, so they did not continue to force him to hold this position.
This allowed Ska to successfully use his own identity to refuse the honor, but Nohill knew that this reason was just a refusal. The fundamental reason why he refused this honor was actually just to continue to follow him.
The return of the city has no regrets for him. In the days to come, he just wants to stick to the oath he once made to Nohir. "Then I will inform Duke Ravengard. The conspiracy involved in this matter is very serious. If the believers of the Three Death Gods really realize this plan, then the first one to bear the brunt will probably be Baldur's Gate. They must Only by knowing this can we take precautions."
Nohir nodded to the chief priest and took action immediately.
Next he will face a tough battle, not only facing the assassins of Evil Thought, but also the undead army of Catheric Thom, and even the mastermind and his mind flayers. community.
These three are all very troublesome and ruthless characters. Xie Nian may be the most deadly assassin in the world. Even now, if one of them is not careful, he may be tricked by him.
Even though he killed Olin so easily this time, it was entirely because he took advantage of a backhand surprise attack and was caught off guard and controlled his body, which is why he died. So neat and tidy.
But if I hadn’t caught the flaw in Olin’s first attack and let her take advantage of her agility, it wouldn’t have been easy for me to keep her, and if I really let her run away If he loses her, he may not even be able to sleep peacefully in the future.
Olin is already so troublesome. As a pure-blood Baal descendant, he is definitely more difficult than her.
The same is true for Kesric Thom. As a chosen one of the God of the Dead, Kesric has a very powerful combat capability. In frontal combat, he is probably the most powerful among the chosen ones of the three gods of death.
This guy connected himself to a real, immortal god through some means, making himself impossible to kill by conventional means.
Unless he can rescue or kill the direct bloodline of the Moon Goddess Selune, no matter how serious the trauma is, it is just a breeze blowing on his face, and he can survive in just a few short seconds. Complete healing between breaths.
That guy is an immortal monster in the true sense, and besides the two of them, the mastermind who may be controlled by evil thoughts is also a fatal threat that must be guarded against.
Even if it has not been strengthened by Netheril magic, the master brain is already one of the most dangerous creatures in the world. Every master brain has an absolute egoistic spirit. He believes that he and his desires are the most important things in the entire multiverse, and that other mind flayers are just his subordinates, pawns used to realize his own ambitions.
A mastermind that is mature and has experienced a relatively long period of time, its threat to others can reach the level of an ancient dragon, or even more dangerous than an ancient dragon.
