Not far from its oblique front is the only black wooden table in the venue, and a smaller ivory chair is placed behind the wooden table. According to what Haka learned, it should be the seat of the rotating chairman who was responsible for presiding the meeting that day.

Around the central open space, the terrain rises in a step-like manner like an arena, with 20 floors. Each staircase is neatly and closely arranged with countless wooden chairs, layer by layer, making Haka feel dizzy. They surround the throne in the center like stars holding the moon.

At this time, some people had already sat in the venue. Some people noticed Haka following the etiquette officer. They saw a few people standing up in the center of the front row of the venue and walked towards Haka together. The five rotating chairmen, Lucias, Siphorus, Sedorum, Anta Oris and Hemon, were led by five rotating chairmen.

"Sir Haka, welcome you! I heard that you were sick a few days ago, so we didn't have the nerve to visit you. Now you are cured, right?" Lucias greeted with concern.

"I'm so ashamed that I'm worried about you. I'm already ready now." Haka said apologetically: "Today is my first time attending a meeting. I thought I could arrive early, but depending on the situation, I still seemed to be late."

"You're not too late," Siphorus explained: "It's just that we have always been accustomed to arriving early because we have to communicate and discuss the issues to be discussed on that day to avoid accidents..."

"When there will be a meeting in the future, I will try to arrive early as possible." Haka answered understandably.

"Let's not block the passage, affecting the people behind us to enter the venue. Let's go back to the seat first and then talk in detail." Anta Oris reminded.

Several people took Haka to the front row, and Haka immediately noticed that there were six white chairs in the center of almost all black chairs.

This is the ivory chair exclusively for the rotating chairman! Such an unusual thing also means the rotating chairman's status in the Senate?... Haka was thinking in his heart, and saw Siphorus pointing to the seat on his left and saying, "Sir Haka, your seat is here."

Haka walked over and sat down, and suddenly found that the seat really belonged to him, because the name "Haka" was engraved on the ground where he was stepping on. Then he saw that the names were engraved under the seats around him.

When Cipoulos saw his movements, he immediately explained: "The seats in the venue cannot be seated casually. Each seat belongs to a veteran, and the name of the elder will be engraved under the seat. If the elder sits in the seats randomly during the meeting, the etiquette officer will warn him. If the warnings are not heard repeatedly, he will be expelled from the venue."

Haka nodded and woke up secretly.

"In fact, ten years ago, except for some special seats in the venue, other seats could be sat at will." Anta Oris poked his head out and said, "So every time he held a meeting, the familiar veterans sat together, one part east and one part west, which was very scattered, and they liked to gather and discuss, and the order was relatively chaotic, resulting in the low efficiency of the meeting... Later, Lord Sesta made suggestions and approved it, and it became what it is now."

Haka nodded again. During this period, he studied Dionia's politics in detail and knew that Sesta was the supervisor of the kingdom. He had been in this position for almost 20 years. It is said that he was cruel and punished many officials, even veterans. Many officials were afraid of him, but most people respected him and called him "the Eagos of the kingdom" (one of the three judges of the underworld).

Under Anta Orist's finger, Haka saw an old man sitting in the same row not far from them. From the side, he looked straight, with thick eyebrows, very straight nose bridge, big nose wings, very thick lips, and not big eyes.

Is this Sesta?... Haka was thinking, and the old man turned his head and touched his sight. Haka immediately felt a light burst out from his little eyes, like a sharp blade piercing his eyes.

But then the old man restrained his light again, and his serious face became a little calmer. He nodded to Haka, then stood up, walked towards a courtesy official in the field, and said a few words to him. The order official immediately ran out of the venue.

"It seems that Sesta felt that the senators were too slow to enter the court, so he asked the etiquette officer to urge them to speed up the entry." Anta Oris sighed and introduced: "Mr. Haka, we were not the first person to come to each Senate meeting, but this old guy. Although this is also his duty, it has been like this for 20 years. It really makes people admire... I really don't know if the next supervisor can do it like him!"

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

"This name will be covered with cement. After solidification, the name of the new veteran will be engraved again..." Siphorus said with some emotion, but one foot rubbed gently on the ground.

Only then did Haka notice that the ground with the name engraved under his feet was somewhat different from the surrounding colors, so he heard Ciporus whisper: "This seat belonged to Lord Cornerus before..."

Haka said nothing after listening, and he also had a deeper feeling for him who had been thinking about illness for many years.

"Lord Haka, there are 615 senators in the Senate now. It is difficult to remember them all in a short time." Anta Oris suggested to him: "But you can remember the main senators, such as ministers from various departments of the Kingdom, whose seats are on both sides of us; those senators when the Kingdom of Dionys were founded, had the oldest qualifications and seats in the first two rows; and the elders who have served as the chief executive of the town for many years and have only been promoted to commander of the Legion in recent years, they sat in the third to sixth rows..."

After listening carefully, Haka asked, "So, will my brother Hasdruba sit at the end?"

"Of course not." Lucias interrupted: "Because of the special situation of Lord Hasdruba, after the banquet last night, His Majesty had a special negotiation with us and finally arranged a special seat for him, which I believe will satisfy him."

"Where is his seat?" Haka was curious.

…………………………………

When Hasdruba walked into the venue, the venue was already crowded and very lively. Without the guidance of the etiquette officer, he had no idea where he should go.

"Sir Hasdruba, this is your exclusive seat. In the future, you will take a seat here when you attend the Senate meeting." After the etiquette officer said that, he turned around and left.

This is the seat on the far left of the third row. Hasdruba stood in front of the seat and felt that the feeling of oppression that was being watched by the people around him when passing the passage had been significantly weakened, and he felt a little relieved.

As soon as he sat down, the person in front turned his head: "Sir Hasdruba, we are meeting again!"

Hasdruba looked closely and found it was Amintas who had a great conversation with him last night.

"Sir Hasdruba, I'm still a little dizzy when I was having a drink with you yesterday." The man next to Amintas also turned his head, and he was also another Dionys general, Matonis, whom Hasdruba met at the banquet last night.

"You are not afraid of embarrassing to say it. Even I can't beat your alcohol tolerance!" Amintas mocked.

"I can just fall over you if I fall." Martonis retorted unwillingly.

When the two were about to argue, the veteran next to Hasdruba turned around and said with a smile: "Hello, Lord Hasdroba, I am Tiger Tilos, the commander of the Seventh Legion of Dionia."

Considering Hasdruba's personality, at last night's banquet, Daphs called Amintas and Matonis was accompanying him.

Amintas competed with Hasdruba in Selinus City. Although Dionia finally won, the process was quite intense. As the saying goes, he didn't know each other without fighting. Amintas was a little sympathetic to Hasdruba. What's more, because he was too old and had too many injuries in the past, he had already had some mobility difficulties. As a result, Davers appointed Leotizides, who was not part of the Expeditionary Legion, who was much younger than them, to take over, which made Amintas a little unwilling to accept it. Hasdruba was the only person who defeated Leotizides head-on in that war, and his personality was very pleasing to him. In addition, his background was special, so under Amintas' intentional win over, Martonis and Hasdruba drank happily last night.

Hasdruba, who had been fighting in the Iberian region for more than ten years, was willing to stay with the generals of Dionia, such as Amintas and Matonis. Not only because of similar interests and many topics to talk about, but also because after the banquet last night, Davers talked to him specifically and gave him an appointment, which made the former Carthaginian general who had been idle for several years due to decadence finally cheered up, and also made him realize that establishing a good relationship with Dionia's military headquarters would help him perform his mission.

Both sides intend to have a good relationship, so the atmosphere quickly became warm, making Hasdruba no longer feel like she was in a strange environment.

"Your Majesty is here!" Accompanied by loud shouts, the closed wooden door in the center of the venue opposite Haka opened.

The originally noisy venue suddenly became quiet.

Four court guards in military uniforms came out of the door, saniting King Davers with a crown on his head, entered the venue.

The elders in the venue soon stood up, and Hasdruba also stood up reluctantly under the pull of Tigtilos.

It was not until Davers sat on the throne that the elders sat down one after another.
