Chapter 397: Three-Person Council
"Thom! Did such a bad thing happen at Baldur's Gate?!"
Priest Lu Xiuite watched the entire interrogation process from the sidelines. Although he did not know the future process, so he did not know the events of the Supreme God that would happen in the future. However, just the appearance of the legendary ancient Netheril artifact was enough to make people feel uncomfortable. Shocked, not to mention that the people who control this artifact are the chosen ones of the three gods of death.
"The electors 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 situation to other acting city masters immediately !”
Eltoril's city lord system is very unique. Each city lord is voted and elected by the citizens. However, the previous city lord, Tavis Craig, betrayed them. This incident brought about The impact 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 Reg 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 centralization incidents to the greatest extent, the House of Representatives also criticized this system. Made some improvements.
They selected one person from each of the noble representatives, temple representatives and civilian representatives, and based on these three people, they formed the 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 people from causing the decree to be unable to be implemented, They also established a system called the High Archons.
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 rotating governance, they will ensure the purity of the highest level to the greatest extent. Minimize the possibility of this incident happening again.
Priest Luxiute 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, when it comes to 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, but he also directly rescued the city after the city was trapped. He returned the weapons of the supreme judges of the past, the entire symbol of Eltoril's power [Record of Light], and together with Nohir, 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 an exemplary knight. A role model, 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.
The House of Representatives said they did not understand this reason, 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.
He has no regrets about returning to the city. In the days to come, he just wants to stick to the vow he 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 immediately took action.
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 community of mind flayers.
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 to control his body, which was why he died so neatly.
But if he 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 him to keep her. And if he really let her go, then he would be in trouble in the future. He probably wouldn't even be able to sleep peacefully.
Orin is already so troublesome. As a pure-blood Baal descendant, he is definitely more difficult to deal with than her.
The same is true for Kesric Thom. As a chosen one of the God of the Dead, Kesric's fighting power is very strong. 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 true, immortal god-descendant through some means, making himself impossible to be killed by conventional means.
Unless the direct bloodline of the moon goddess Selune can be rescued or killed, no matter how serious the injury is, it will be nothing more than a breeze to him, and he can be completely healed in just a few breaths.
That guy is a truly immortal monster, and in addition to the two of them, the main brain that may be controlled by evil thoughts is also a deadly threat that must be guarded against.
Even if it has not been strengthened by the magic of Netheril, the main brain is already one of the most dangerous creatures in the world. Each main brain has an absolute egoistic spirit. All main brains believe that they and their desires are the most important things in the entire multiverse, and other mind flayers are just their brothers and sisters, used to realize their ambitions.
A mature main brain that has experienced a relatively long time can completely threaten others to the level of the ancient dragon, or even more dangerous than the ancient dragon.
