Chapter 1012 Elders(1/3)
Rights and status!
Strength and glory!
The elders of the empire mean almost everything, and the benefits they can get even exceed those of the past consuls. As His Majesty said, this is the highest honor and treatment that an emperor can give.
The Imperial congressmen stared at the row of veteran seal rings, their eyes turned red, and they wanted to grab one and put it on their hands immediately.
The Holy Soul Wizards were also moved.
Some of the holy soul wizards have attracted annual salary, some have attracted legendary magic rings, and some have attracted power. However, all the holy soul wizards have only one thing in common, that is, the Star Destroyer!
The Elder's Seal Ring is very good, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the Star Destroyer.
The Star Destroyer has replaced the floating city and become the greatest magical creature in the world!
However, all Star Destroyers belong to Rennes.
This was the emperor's great invention, and it overthrew the Supreme Council with this. It was the foundation of his rule over the empire. Even if the Holy Soul Wizards longed for it and had a covetous heart, they would not dare to show any clues in front of Rennes, and they could not even ask questions.
Everyone thought that the emperor would be the only star destroyer for at least hundreds of years, or even forever.
Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to give an opportunity!
It takes a hundred years to serve as a veteran of the empire for five consecutive terms, and it is not long for the Holy Soul Wizard. If you serve Rennes for a hundred years, you can get a star destroyer, and no one in the world can refuse it.
Although, Rennes said that he would have to perform outstandingly and make great contributions to the empire to have a chance.
This standard is very impressive. What is considered outstanding performance and great achievements? It is all in Renn's thoughts. It is probably just a bait thrown by Renn.
But the Holy Soul Wizards still cannot refuse!
Especially several Holy Soul Wizards who have a close relationship with Rennes thought that they had worked hard for the past century. With Rennes' nostalgic and upright personality and friendship between the two parties, the possibility of getting a Star Destroyer is still very high.
Even if you don’t get the Star Destroyer, you won’t lose money by paying 500,000 gold shields per year and the legendary veteran seal ring.
The most important thing is that if you don’t become a veteran, others are willing to be.
And they are rushing to enter the Senate!
It is obvious that the Senate will become the most important institution of the empire, with status and power second only to the emperor. Countless people flock to it, representing the future of the empire. Even the Holy Soul Wizard, if he fails to enter the empire's Senate, will soon be marginalized, his prestige and reputation will be severely hit, and he may even be unable to keep up with the development of the empire's magic knowledge and be eliminated by the times.
Whether you consider individually or otherwise, you must enter the Imperial Senate!
The most experienced Cron Normanthus couldn't sit still at first and whispered: "I am willing to serve Your Majesty and contribute my own strength to the empire."
"I do, too." Medefer said.
He still owes Renn 50 million gold shields. If he can become a 5th imperial elder, his salary will be paid off for a hundred years.
The same is true for Dean Sabra.
The Duke of Silver Star and Queen of Storm made a statement without hesitation and was willing to serve as the elder of the empire.
Congerard said frankly: "I didn't expect that His Majesty can use the Star Destroyer as a reward. I am very interested in the Star Destroyer and I can't refuse."
"Yes." Master Euroin sighed.
He was one of the first people to learn about the existence of Star Destroyers. He had seen the power of Star Destroyers on the bridge, but he still built a floating city for the development of the combat school.
If he had known that Rennes might have given up the Star Destroyer, he would never have built a floating city. Now that it has been halfway through, the loss of stopping is too great, and he can't help but feel a little regretful.
Fortunately, the Floating City and the Star Destroyer do not conflict.
A base that can be used as a combat school to cultivate more combat wizards, and a strongest magic item for individuals!
Ancivodaus thought so too. As Rennes's teacher, he had no reason to oppose Rennes' establishment of the Imperial Senate.
Not to mention Oxilia, she had already booked a Star Destroyer.
After the dissolution of the Supreme Council, there were eleven Holy Soul Wizards besides Rennes. Now only Master Huohuai and Duke of Black Robe Tuzre did not express their opinions.
Renn looked at the old wizard smoking a pipe, and saw his hesitation, so he said, "Master Huo Huai, the Imperial Senate is not the Supreme Council, and its nature is different. Entering the Senate does not violate the original oath. You are the only holy wizard in the Empire. The Senate needs your joining, and the Empire needs you, and thousands of magic wizards hope to ask you for magic knowledge."
Wantusri Hawyai is the only holy soul wizards above level 30, but he has the intention to live in seclusion, and Rennes does not want to let him go.
Moreover, Huo Huai has a close relationship with the Seven Sisters of Duke of Silver Star and is their adoptive father.
As long as he stabilized him, he would indirectly win over the seven sisters.
When Master Huo Huai heard Ren talk about the Thousand-Dharma Wizard, he relaxed his attitude. He put down his pipe and sighed: "Since His Majesty invites you warmly, I have to obey."
Renn smiled and nodded, then looked at Tuzlei, who had a dismal expression and said nothing.
He hopes Tuzrey refuses.
The farther you have to kick Master Ogulevi's clone, the better. It's better to get out of the empire. Even if Tuzre makes a great contribution to the sky, he will never give him the Star Destroyer.
However, Tuzre immediately said: "It is my honor to be the elder of the Empire."
Renn cursed in his heart, but showed a look of relief on his face, and said happily: "Your Excellency Tuzre is willing to enter the Senate, which is the blessing of the empire."
Tuzre's mouth moved and he didn't say anything.
But Ren felt a silent ridicule, Yin Laientuo from the dark area.
"Oh shit……"
Renne was helpless.
He pretended that nothing happened. With a thought, the row of floating veteran seal rings flew out and fell into the hands of the eleven holy soul wizards and great masters, and smiled and said, "Congratulations to all the masters for becoming members of the first Imperial Senate."
Everyone caught the Elder's Seal Ring and felt the magic power on the ring.
After careful observation, they found that the elder seal ring was not exactly the same. On the inside of the ring, there was a number of rice grains engraved at the bottom of the seal, which seemed to be the number of the ring.
Renn said: "Each veteran seal ring has a subtle difference, which does not affect their enchantment and function, but is only used to distinguish the identity of the wearer. Apart from the No. 1 seal ring, there is no distinction between other veteran seal rings."
"No. 1 seal ring?"
Ancivodaus looked at the inside of his ring, the number number was "1", which was slightly raised.
"Yes, teacher."
Ren said softly: "The seal ring No. 1 represents the chief senator of the empire, and is responsible for convening and presiding over the meetings of the Senate and maintaining the discipline and order of the Senate. It has a term of one hundred years. It does not have to participate in the election of the senate within five terms. Only the emperor can be dismissed."
Everyone understands it, the Chief Senate is the Grand Speaker of the Senate!
The chief veteran has a higher status than other veterans and has greater power. He is the second-ranked figure in the empire, second only to the emperor.
Suddenly, everyone cast envious eyes at Ancivodaus.
But no one raised objections.
Master Anxi is Rennes's teacher. Rennes is inseparable from his support when he can become an emperor. No one is more suitable to serve as the chief veteran than Master Anxi. Even the position of chief veteran should be established by the emperor specifically for Master Anxi. If it were others, it would not be so trusted by the emperor.
Ancivodaus felt a heavy responsibility, and if he could choose, he would rather refuse the chief veteran.
But Renne's kindness was hard for him to refuse.
"Ren, you have the heart."
Ancivodaus smiled and put the No. 1 seal ring on his hand, indicating that he had accepted the title of Chief Elder.
Other holy soul wizards also put on the veteran seal rings, and suddenly, the enchantment and functions on the ring surprised them. Several of them were already considering replacing the anti-magic rays with the most suitable nine-ring spell.
The Imperial Councils were extremely envious, and then looked at the remaining veteran seal rings.
Fourteen more!
This means the quota of fourteen empire elders!
The Imperial parliamentarians looked at each other. In addition to the Holy Soul Wizard, there were more than 30 people present, each of whom was his own competitor.
The first senators do not need to be elected, they are all designated by His Majesty. This is the best opportunity to enter the Senate.
If you miss today, you will have to wait twenty years.
Moreover, it is even more difficult to elect senators in the Imperial Parliament in twenty years.
If you can become the first veteran and use these twenty years to perform well and accumulate prestige and achievements, you will have huge advantages in the next election and be at least half the difficulty of re-election. Even if you only serve as one, you can get a total salary of 10 million gold shields!
Everyone was determined to win, and the eyes looked at the emperor were hot and even a little flattering.
But Renn did not look at them, his eyes fell on an old man with silver hair and a solemn face. He was wearing silver-white armor, a golden scale on his chest, tall and straight, Luspel, the great arbitrator of the Church of Justice.
"Uncle Lusper," shouted Rennes.
"His Majesty."
Luspel showed deep surprise on his face. He thought that coming here today was just a formality, and the establishment of the Imperial Senate had nothing to do with him, so he never said a word.
The Empire is a country ruled by wizards. The Justice Church is only responsible for enforcing the law, eliminating evil, and never interfering in the politics of the Empire.
This is a tacit understanding between the Three Gods Churches of the Empire.
Could it be?
Luspel was still thinking about it, and he heard the emperor say, "Crown, I hope the Justice Church will play a greater role in the empire. I also need some legal advice to promote the rule of law in the empire and maintain justice and order. Therefore, I invite the Crown to be a veteran. I wonder what you think?"
Everyone looked at these words, not understanding in their hearts why His Majesty broke the unspoken rule of the Justice Church not interfering in politics?
Luspel was ecstatic, but he remained silent on his face and immediately replied: "Thank you for your gift, I will live up to this trust. The Justice Church will swear to carry out His Majesty's will, defend the people of the empire, and safeguard justice and order!"
While talking, he walked to Renn and half-kneeled:
To be continued...
