Vol 9 Chapter 46: The Kingdom Senator's House (Continued)


Not far ahead of it is a single black wooden table in the venue. A small ivory chair is placed behind the wooden table. According to what Haka has learned, that should be the seat of the rotating chairman who chaired the meeting that day.
Around the central open space, the terrain rises like a arena. There are 20 floors. Each floor is neatly and closely arranged with countless wooden chairs. Layers are stacked, and Haka is dizzy. They surround the central throne like the stars and the moon.
At this time, some people were seated in the venue, and some people noticed Haka who was behind the etiquette officer. When they saw the center of the front row of the venue, they stood up quickly and walked towards Haka together. Sias, Siproos, Sedorum, Antauris and Hermon have five rotating chairmen.
"Master Haka, you are welcome! I heard that you were ill a few days ago, and we are not embarrassed to visit you, are you okay now?" Lucia greeted with concern.
"I'm really ashamed to worry you. I'm fine now." Haka apologized. "Today is my first time attending the meeting. I thought I could arrive early, but I seem to be late depending on the situation."
"You're not too late," Siproos explained, "but just a few of us have always been used to arriving early, because we need to communicate and discuss the issues to be discussed that day beforehand to avoid accidents ..."
"I'll try to arrive early as soon as possible when there are meetings in the future," Haka replied.
"Let's not stop at the entrance of the passageway, it will affect the people coming in behind, and we will return to our seats and talk in detail." Antaoris reminded.
Several people led Haka to the front row, and Haka immediately noticed that six white chairs were particularly prominent in the center of almost all black chairs.
This is the ivory chair dedicated to the rotating chairman! This unusualness also means the position of the rotating chairman in the Senate? ... Hakkar was thinking, and he saw Cypros pointing to the seat on his left and said, "Master Hakkar, your seat is here."
Haka walked over to sit down, and suddenly found that the seat really belonged to himself, because the name of "Haka" was engraved on the ground he stepped on, and the name was also engraved under the surrounding seats.
After seeing his movement, Hiplops explained immediately: "The seats in the conference hall cannot be casually seated. Each seat is dedicated to a veteran, and the veteran's name will be engraved under the seat. When the veteran sits in a chaotic seat, the etiquette officer will warn him. If he does not listen repeatedly, he will be evicted from the venue. "
Haka nodded, alerting himself.
"In fact, ten years ago, except for some special seats in the venue, other seats could be casually seated." Anta Orris leaned out his head and said, "So every time a meeting, the familiar veterans will sit together, The east and west are scattered, and they like to gather and discuss, and the order is chaotic, which leads to inefficient meetings ... Later, it was Lord Césta who proposed this and approved it. "
Haka nodded again. During this time, he studied the politics of Dionia in detail, knowing that Seta was the Kingdom's Minister of Inspection. He had been in this position for almost 20 years. He was said to be cruel and punish many officials. Many officials are afraid of him, even the elders, but most people respect him, calling him "Eacos of the Kingdom" (one of the three inquisitors in the prison).
Under Antareist's imaginary fingers, Haka saw an old man sitting in the same row not far from them. From the side, he saw that his body was straight, his eyebrows were thick and long, his nose was very strong, his nose was large, and his lips were large. Very thick and small eyes.
Is this Sesta? ... Hakkar was pondering. The old man turned his head and touched his sight. Hakkar immediately felt that the other party's small eyes shot out the light, like a sharp blade piercing his eyes.
But then the old man converged again, and there was a little peace on his serious face. He nodded to Haka, then stood up, walked to a courtesy officer on the court, and spoke a few words to him. The order officer immediately ran out of the venue.
"It seems that Seth felt that the elders were entering the court too slowly, and asked the etiquette officer to urge them to speed up." Antaolis sighed and introduced: "Master Haka, every meeting of the Senate It wasn't us but the old guy. Although this is his responsibility, it has been so for 20 years and really has to be admired ... I don't know if the next inspector will be able to do like him! "
Haka looked at Sesta standing in front of the venue, like a hard stone pillar, and suddenly asked: "Master Siprous, you just said that a seat is dedicated to a veteran, but if this veteran is not in Now, this name ... "
"This name will be covered with cement. After the solidification, the name of the new veteran will be re-engraved ..." Cypros said with some emotion, but one foot rubbed gently on the ground.
Haka noticed that the ground under his name was a little different from the surrounding color, and he heard Ciplous say softly: "This seat belonged to Lord Cornelus ..."
After Haka didn't speak, he also felt deeply for him who had been suffering from illness all year round.
"Master Haka, there are now 615 elders in the Senate. It will be difficult to remember them all in a short period of time." Antaolis suggested to him: "But you can remember the main elders first, For example, the ministers of the various departments of the kingdom, their seats are on both sides of us; the veterans when the Kingdom of Dionia was established, their oldest qualifications, the seats are in the first two rows; there are permanent town administrators and these The elders who were promoted to the ranks at the young age, they are sitting in the third to sixth rows ... "
Haka listened carefully and asked, "So, my brother Hasdrubba will sit at the end?"
"Of course not." Lucia interjected: "Because of the special circumstances of Lord Hasdruba, His Majesty specially negotiated with us after the banquet last night, and finally arranged a special seat for him, I believe it will make him satisfaction."
"Where is his seat?" Haka was curious.
………………………………
When Hasdruba entered the venue, the venue was crowded with crowds. Without the ceremonial officer, he had no idea where he should go.
"Master Hasdruba, this is your exclusive seat. You will be seated here after you attend the Senate meeting." After the etiquette officer said, he turned away.
This is the leftmost seat in row 3. Hasdruba stood in front of his seat, feeling a little less appreciative of the kind of oppression that was being watched by people around him as he passed the passage.
As soon as he sat down, the man in front turned his head: "Master Hasdruba, we meet again!"
Hasdrubba looked intently at Armintas, who had a great conversation with him last night.
"Master Hasdruba, I drank with you yesterday. I'm still a little bit dizzy." The man next to Armintas also turned his head, the same one that Hasdrubba had met at the banquet last night. A Dionian general, Mattonis.
"You're not afraid to say shame, you can't even fight me with that amount of alcohol!" Armintas mocked.
"I can just wrestle over you." Mattonis retorted recklessly.
When the two were about to quarrel, they turned around next to the elder of Hasdrubba, smiling, and said, "Hi Lord Hasdropa, my name is Taitiglos, the seventh legionnaire of Dionia. . "
In consideration of Hasdrumba's character, at the dinner last night, Devster called Armintas and Matonis to accompany him.
Arminta played against Hasdruba in Celinus. Although Dionysian won in the end, the process was very fierce. A little bit sorry. What's more, the previous year, because he was too old and had too many old injuries in the past, he had already had some inconveniences and had to resign as the commander of the First Army. As a result, Daphs appointed those who did not belong to the expeditionary group and had qualifications smaller than them Many Leotizides took over, which made Arminta somewhat unwilling, and Hasdrubba was the only person who had defeated Leotizides in the war, and his character was very good to him Appetite, coupled with its special background, so under the intention of Armintas, last night, he, Matonis and Hasdruba drank happily.
Hasdruba, who has fought in the Iberian region for more than ten years, is also willing to stay with Dionysian generals such as Armintas and Matonis. Not only because of similar interests, there are many topics to talk about. Also, after the banquet last night, Davers talked to him specifically and gave him an appointment, which made the former Carthage general who had been idle for several years due to decadence finally cheered up, and made him realize Having a good relationship with the Dionysian military will help him perform his mission ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The two sides are willing to make friends, so the atmosphere quickly warms up, making Hasdrubba no longer feel that he is in the In a strange environment.
"Your Majesty is here!" With the loud shout, the closed wooden door at the back of the center of the venue where Haka was facing opened.
The noisy meeting place suddenly quieted down.
I saw four court guards in uniforms coming out from the door, guarding King Daphs with a crown, and entered the venue.
The elders in the venue quickly stood up, and Hasdrupa also pulled down by Tiger Tilos and stood up reluctantly.
It wasn't until Davers took the throne that the elders sat down one after another.
At this time, the court guards stood around the throne, and the etiquette officers under the supervision department also took their respective positions. The three conference hall officials took paper and pens and sat at the edge of the center of the conference hall. Going to the podium ... everything is ready.
