Not far from its oblique front is the only black wooden table in the venue. Behind the wooden table is a smaller ivory chair. According to what Haka learned, that should be the seat of the rotating chairperson responsible for presiding over the meeting that day.

Around the central open space, the terrain rises in steps like an arena, with a full 20 floors. Each step is neatly and tightly arranged with countless wooden chairs, layered on top of each other, and you can see Hakka Some dizziness, they surround the central throne like stars holding the moon.

At this time, there were already some people sitting in the venue. Some people noticed Haka who was following the ceremonial officer. They saw a few people in the center of the front row of the venue quickly stood up and walked towards Haka together. It is Lycias, Cipros, Sedorum, Anta Auris, and Hermon that are the five rotating chairmen.

"Master Haka, welcome! I heard that you were ill a few days ago, and we were too embarrassed to visit you. Are you all right now?" Lucias greeted with concern.

"I am ashamed. I made you worry. I am all right now." Haka said apologetically: "Today is the first time I attended a meeting. I thought I could be there early, but depending on the situation, I still seem to be late. Up."

"You didn't come too late." Cipros explained: "It's just that some of us are used to arriving early, because we have to communicate and discuss the topics to be discussed that day to avoid accidents..."

"When there are meetings in the future, I will try my best to arrive as early as possible." Haka accepted the words knowingly.

"Let's not block the passageway and affect the people behind to enter the arena. Let's get back to the seats and then talk carefully." Anta Auris reminded.

Several people led Hakkar to the front row. Hakkar immediately noticed that there were 6 white chairs in the center of almost all black chairs.

This is the ivory chair dedicated to the rotating chairman! So unusual, does it also mean the position of the rotating chairman in the Senate? ...Haka was thinking about it, and he saw Cipros pointing to the seat on his left and said, "Master Haka, your seat is here."

Hakkar walked over and sat down, and suddenly realized that this seat really belonged to him, because the name of'Hakkar' was engraved on the ground on which he stepped, and the names of the surrounding seats were also engraved.

Siplos saw his movements and immediately explained: "The seats in the venue are not allowed to sit indiscriminately. Each seat is dedicated to a veteran, and the name of the veteran will be engraved under the seat. During the meeting, if the elders sit in disorderly seats, the ceremonial officer will warn them, and if they fail to listen to the repeated warnings, they will be expelled from the meeting."

Haka nodded, secretly alert.

"In fact, ten years ago, except for some special seats, other seats in the venue could be taken anywhere." Anta Auris poked her head out and said, "So every time a meeting, the familiar elders will sit Being together, the East and the West are very scattered, and they like to gather people to discuss, the order is chaotic, and the meeting efficiency is not high... Later, Lord Sesta put forward suggestions for this, and passed it. Now it is."

Hakkar nodded again. During this time, he studied the politics of Dionia in detail and knew that Sesta was the inspector of the kingdom. He has been in this position for almost 20 years. He is said to be cold and punished. Many officials, even elders, and many officials are afraid of him, but most people respect him and call him "Aikos of the Kingdom" (one of the three judges of the Underworld).

Under Anta Oriste’s fingers, Haka saw an old man sitting in the same row not far from them. Viewed from the side, his body was straight, his eyebrows were thick and long, his nose was very stiff, and his nose Big, with thick lips and small eyes.

This is Sesta? ...Haka was thinking about it. The old man turned his head and touched his gaze. Haka immediately felt the light burst from the other's small eyes, like a sharp blade piercing his own eyes.

But then the old man receded his light again, and his serious face became somewhat calm. He nodded to Haka, then stood up, walked to a courtesy officer in the court, and told him After a few words, the order officer immediately ran out of the venue.

"It seems that Sesta feels that the veterans are too slow to enter the arena and ask the ceremonial officer to urge them to enter the arena." Anta Oris sighed and introduced: "Master Haka, every time the Senate It was not us who came to the meeting first, but this old guy. Although this is his duty, it has been this way for 20 years. I really have to be admired... I really don’t know if the next Minister of Supervision can do like him. !"

Haka looked at Sesta standing in front of the venue, like a hard stone pillar, and suddenly asked: "Sir Cypros, you just said that a seat belongs to a senator, but if this The name veteran is gone, this name..."

"The name will be covered by cement. After it has solidified, the new veteran's name will be re-engraved..." Cipros said with some feeling, but one foot rubbed gently on the ground.

Hakkar only noticed that the ground with the name engraved under his feet was slightly different from the surrounding colors, and he heard Cipros say softly: "This seat belonged to Lord Cornelus before..."

Hakkar didn't say a word after listening, and he also had a deep feeling for him who had been suffering from illness all the time.

"Master Haka, there are currently 615 senators in the Senate. It is more difficult to remember them all in a short time." Anta Auris suggested to him: "But you can remember the main The veterans of the Kingdom, such as the ministers of the various departments of the kingdom, have their seats on both sides of us; the elders of the Kingdom of Dionian have the oldest qualifications, and their seats are in the first two rows; and they have served as town administrators all year round. The sir and the veterans who have been promoted to the commander of the corps these years, they sit in the third to sixth rows..."

Haka listened carefully and asked: "So, my brother Hasdruba will sit at the back?"

"Of course not." Lucias interjected: "Because of the special situation of Lord Hasdruba, after the banquet last night, His Majesty specially negotiated with us and finally arranged a special seat for him. I believe Will satisfy him."

"Where is his seat?" Haka was curious.

…………………………………

When Hasdruba walked into the venue, the venue was already full of people and it was extremely lively. If there is no ceremonial officer leading him, he doesn't know where he should go.

"Master Hasdruba, this is your exclusive seat. You will be seated here when you participate in the Senate meeting in the future." The ceremonial officer finished speaking and turned away.

This is the leftmost seat in row 3. Standing in front of the seat, Hasdruba felt that the pressure of being watched by the people around him when passing through the passage was obviously weakened, and he felt a little relieved.

As soon as I sat down, the person in front turned his head: "Master Hasdruba, we meet again!"

Has Drubba took a closer look, and it was Amintas who had a good chat with him last night.

"Master Hasdruba, I had a drink with you yesterday. I am still a little dizzy." The man next to Ammentas also turned his head. It was also Hasdruba who was at the banquet last night. Another Dionian general you know, Matonis.

"You are not afraid to say it ashamed, you can't even spell it for me!" Amintas sneered.

"I can beat you in a wrestling." Matonis retorted unwillingly.

When the two were about to quarrel, the veteran of Hasdruba turned around and said with a smile: "Hello, Lord Hasdruba, I am Tai, commander of the seventh army of Dionia. Gettilos."

Considering the personality of Hasdruba, at the banquet last night, Davester called Amintas and Matonis to accompany him.

Amintas competed with Hasdruba in the city of Serinus. Although Dionia won in the end, the process was quite fierce. The so-called non-fighting did not know each other, Ammentas vs. Hasd Ruba felt a bit sympathetic. What's more, he had to resign from the position of commander of the First Army because of his age and too many old injuries the previous year. As a result, Daves appointed a member of the expeditionary army that was not a member of the expeditionary army and had less seniority than them. Leotizides took over, which made Amintas unwilling, and Hasdruba was the only one who defeated Leotizides head-on in that war, and his personality was very good for him. With his appetite and his special background, he, Matonis and Hasdruba had a great drink last night under the intention of Amintas.

And Hasdruba, who has fought in the Iberian region for more than ten years, is also willing to stay with Dionian generals such as Amintas and Matonis, not only because of similar interests, but also many The topic can be talked about, and because after the banquet last night, Daves talked to him specifically and gave him an appointment. This made the former Carthage general who had been idle for several years due to decadence finally cheered up. He realized that a good relationship with the Dionian military was beneficial to his mission.

The two parties both intend to make good friends, so the atmosphere soon warmed up, making Hasdruba no longer feel like he was in an unfamiliar environment.

"Your Majesty is here!" With a loud shout, the closed wooden door behind the center of the venue Hakkar was facing opened.

The originally noisy meeting place suddenly quieted down.

I saw four court guards in uniforms coming out of the door, guarding King Daves wearing a crown, and entering the venue.

The veterans in the venue quickly stood up, and Hasdruba was also dragged by Tagillos and stood up reluctantly.

Until Daves sat on the throne, the elders sat down one after another.

At this time, the court guards were standing around the throne, and the ceremonial officers under the Ministry of Supervision were in their respective positions. The three venue recorders sat on the edge of the center of the venue with paper and pen in hand, and the rotating chairman Anta Oris I stood up and walked to the chair... Everything is ready.
