Chapter 676 Between Light and Light (XV)
As soon as this statement came out, the face of the Light Council changed immediately, and the other Inners immediately turned their eyes at this moment, and they did not dare to look at the scene in front of them. The people present were not fools. As supporters and opposition parties of the Light Council, they certainly knew what the Powerful and obvious weakness of the Light Council was.
That is the "existence" of the Council of Light.
And all this starts with the birth of the Council of Light.
It was during the War of Creation. The first generation of the Dragon Soul of Light looked at the scars all over the ground and the entry-level people who were still working hard to build their own homes on it, perhaps moved by their hard work. In the end, the Dragon Soul of Light came up with an idea that the entry-level people who lived in this land would lead their own country, and through various mechanisms, they would choose to form a group among the people who are trusted and highly respected to form a group to be responsible for the operation of the entire country. They represent the people and work to realize the wishes of the people.
At that time, the Dragon Soul of Dark Night scoffed at this, believing that the Dragon Soul of Light was completely a whim. In contrast to the Dragon Soul of Light, the Dragon Soul of Dark Night thought that the people were a group of lambs, and sheep must be responsible for controlling their actions and guiding them to the direction they should move forward is the right way. Otherwise, if you let go and do whatever the flock wants, they will only end up in destruction.
The differences in the concepts of the two creation dragon souls will not be mentioned here. In short, it was after that that, the Dragon Soul of Light created the "Parliament of Light". It belongs to a Duli administrative authority in addition to the Dragon Soul of Light and the Three Aokao Chiefs. After the establishment of the Council of Light, the Dragon Soul of Light also delegated power to them, and then retreated to the second line with the Three Aokao Chiefs. No longer concerned about these common things.
In the first hundred years, the Council of Light performed well. The Kingdom of Light was able to have such a huge territory and strength now, but it was entirely thanks to the wise leadership of the Council of Light in the early days. However,......... the creatures with short life, and the perspectives of the creatures with long lifespans are not different from those with long lifespans.
Seeing that the Council of Light developed well, the Dragon Soul of Light was relieved to let them go completely, but the hope of entering the category was infinite, and it lost the restrictions of the Dragon Soul of Light and the three Aokao. The Council of Light was accompanied by generations of change and elections, and the sense of awe for the Dragon Soul of Creation and the Three Aokao was becoming increasingly indifferent. On the contrary, with the increase of ambition, they became thorns in the eyes of the Council of Light. The Council of Light was also very smart. They keenly perceived and used the trust of the Dragon Soul of Light in them and began to secretly carry out a series of plans, just like boiling a frog in warm water, slowly shifting everything from the Dragon Soul of Light to the Council of Light. In the end, the Council of Light succeeded, and they successfully replaced the Dragon Soul of Light and became the essential ruler of this country.
If it is on earth, then what the Council of Light should do next is to do a concerted effort to directly destroy the Dragon Soul of Light and the Three Great Envoys, and to take the banner of reform to truly become the legitimate ruler of the Kingdom of Light. Or, like on earth, give the Dragon Soul of Light and the Three Great Envoys a royal treatment of the Dragon Soul of Light and the Three Great Envoys, but they do not let them deal with and interfere in political affairs. They compete on earth. No matter how sacred and noble your status is, it is only one nose and two ears after all, no matter whether you are a holy or a king or a son.
If you want to play, you have to go to the top and queue up to get the number and delete the file again. But this is not feasible on the Dragon Soul Continent. The three great envoys will find one of them to drink more than a pot, not to mention that the entire Kingdom of Light is under the protection of the Dragon Soul of Light. If there is no protection of the Dragon Soul of Light, then Chaos will immediately invade the world and completely turn it into a dead place. Therefore, the Council of Light did not dare to do too much. If they really killed the Dragon Soul of Light, then they would definitely be dead.
It is precisely because of this that the Council of Light had to linger on the edge of the cliff of victory, and agreed to the existence of the Dragon Soul of Light and the Three Great Ao Envoys. However, the Council of Light is not a fool. They knew that the Dragon Soul of Light and the Three Great Ao Envoys were definitely dissatisfied with them, so they desperately brainwashed the people, weaken their worship of the Dragon Soul of Light, and incite the opposition between the people and other races. In this way, even if the Dragon Soul of Light wants to do something, it must consider the psychological feelings of the people.
However, the Council of Light has the most deadly weakness.
That is, the power they have was "delegated" to them by the Dragon Soul of Light. This was clearly stated when the Council of Light was created, and the sacred treaties included in the Treaty of Genesis, and the regulations included in the Treaty of Genesis are not allowed to be changed.
Since it is a "decentralized" power, it can naturally be "retracted". If the Dragon Soul of Light really wants to regain the power of the Council of Light, then it is completely legal in terms of law and rules. If the Council of Light intends to cheat or turn a blind eye, let alone whether the Dragon Soul of Light agrees or not, the country of law will be the first to disagree with the twin dragons who are sanctioned and judged. The meaning of the existence of the twin dragons is to maintain the Creation Treaty. If the Council of Light really dares to resist in front of the Kingdom of Law, it will be really seeking death.
The Council of Light naturally knew this, but they were powerless and could only use various means to make the Dragon Soul of Light throw itself into a rat and dare not or will not take back its power. In this way, the power to rule the Kingdom of Light is still in the hands of the Council of Light, which is enough for the Council of Light.
But now, the girl sitting on the throne said a speech that was enough to make all members of the Council of Light scared.
Rhodes did not know how the Council of Light dealt with the Dragon Soul of Light, but after seeing Li yesterday, he had a rough idea. If he really looked like this, then Yaoli would probably have planned to run to Litia's palace yesterday... But now... Hehehe... Rhodes looked like he was not serious about watching the fun, but the members of the Council of Light were ashen, especially the old president of the Council of Light. The cold sweat on his old face dripped down like water. The Dragon Soul of Light really didn't speak, and she was shocked as soon as she opened her mouth. She actually wanted to take away the wealth given by Litia on behalf of Moon!!
In the Council of Light, there are actually some people who are the same as the old president thought. Although the scene when welcoming Lydia before was very humiliating, the competition was just face, and face was definitely not as important as affordable. In the view of the President of the Council of Light, as long as Lydia is willing to take out this money, they can fill the financial deficit of the Council of Light, which is the most practical. But now, if the money is taken away by the Dragon Soul of Light, then the Council of Light can be said to have lost both husbands and soldiers. Not only has it been a mess, but even the financial deficit cannot be filled!
You should know that this fiscal deficit is not a small number. The Light Council has always used this money to fill the subsidies from two or three territories of their subordinates. The sum of these money is about 5% to 10% of the annual fiscal revenue of the Light Kingdom. This shows that such a huge asset, the Light Dragon Soul said that it would take it away. The Light Council did not roll his eyes in a hurry?!
"Your Majesty!~!"
I don't know if it was because of excessive tension or excessive panic, the old president of the council spoke with a little trembling as soon as he spoke. The twisted voice made Rhode unable to help but want to laugh out loud. Fortunately, he also knew that it was not a joke now, so he still restrained his expression.
"This...this...this...this has always been taken over by our Council of Light...and, our Council will plan your money in advance every year. You suddenly say so..."
"Please forgive me for being rude, Your Majesty."
Seeing the old president of the parliament a little panicked, a young man suddenly stepped out of the parliament. When he saw this man, Rhodes' face sank slightly, and he immediately recognized the other party. But the man seemed not to notice Rhodes. He just bowed respectfully to the Dragon Soul of Light and then spoke.
"The Council of Light has always used this wealth to benefit the people and help them. In fact, we have already made a series of plans for this year. For this reason, we can benefit a lot of people. Your Majesty, you do this..."
Hearing the opposition from everyone, uneasy and a little confusion immediately appeared on Li's tender little face, but at this moment, a calm and cold voice sounded, interrupting the young man's speech.
"It's really interesting, Mr. Andre."
Rhodes walked slowly into the group, staring at the young entrance in front of him with calm eyes - he was the man who had met Rhodes several times in the Fiat area, a disciple of "Thunder Sword" Soderfast, and Andre Chris, who is also one of the members of the guardian of the Sword.
"This money is the wealth given to the noble Dragon Soul of Light by our Duchy of Mun, that is, it is the property of Your Majesty. How your Majesty wants to deal with this money is of course her reason. I believe that the noble Dragon Soul of Light will not make absurd decision. On the contrary, everyone in the Council of Light......"
Speaking of this, Rhodes raised his head and looked at the crowd of the light council opposite him, sneering, without hiding his ridicule and contempt.
"Do you, as subjects of the Dragon Soul of Light, think it's not appropriate to be so concerned about Your Majesty's wealth?"
"you…………………"
Hearing this, many people have changed a lot. Rhodes's words are a heart-wrenching argument. Indeed, there are almost no people present. I don't know that the money given by the Duchy of Moon to the Dragon Soul of Light will be used by the Council of Light to fill the financial deficit. Although the Council of Light has been doing this for many years, it is almost natural, but this competition is not natural. It is like a person who gets the year-end bonus at the end of the year, but the money is taken away by his own family before he can get enough money.
Someone told him that I don’t have enough money to repay the loan for the car annual inspection of the car this year, so I just put the money on you first, which is unreasonable. Moreover, what Rhodes said is indeed correct. Nominally, the Council of Light is a subordinate agency of the Dragon Soul of Light. Logically speaking, it should be that the Dragon Soul of Light will give you more than you can plan. But now, if you don’t give you money to join the family, you have made plans in advance? What does this mean...... Who can’t tell me o.
When he saw Rhode, Andre's expression was very strange. He blinked his eyes and looked at Rhode with some confusion. Logically speaking, he probably had never seen Rhode. Although the two sides had fought in the underground mines in the Fiat Mountains, Rhode was dressed in "Miranda Seren" at that time, which was still different from him now. But soon, Andre's expression changed slightly.
He opened his eyes wide in horror and looked at Rhodes, as if he had seen the monster in the nightmare turn into an instinct and appear in front of him. Andre stood there quietly, staring at Rhodes with a pale face, but he couldn't say a word.
And at this moment, a dull cold snorted broke the silence in the hall.
"snort!"
Accompanied by this muffled groan, a tall middle-aged man walked out in big strides. He was about 1.9 meters tall, which was very tall among the crowd. What impressed him even more was his face. At first glance, he looked like a vulture, thin and dangerous. And the most interesting thing was that this vulture was like a vulture, a bald head. But at this moment he was standing there, and the momentum of the force came to his face. He raised his chin and looked at Rhodes with a bit of contempt.
"Young ignorant little devil, our Council of Light is unquestionable for His Majesty. Your baseless slander is a naked slander against our Council of Light! As a member of the delegation of the Principality of Moon, don't you think you should restrain your instinctive attitude in front of His Majesty?!"
Faced with the man's aggressive aura, Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a cold light like a poisonous snake.
"Loyalty to Your Majesty is not just a lip service. Sodfast is a member of the Council of Light, and in such a public situation, he dares to question His Majesty's decision. Do you think you are wiser and smarter than His Majesty?"
"…………Um?"
Seeing that Rhodes was not overwhelmed by his momentum, but instead argued so hard, Soderfast was slightly stunned.
"Who are you……………"
"Rod Elant... I am the lord of Glenbel, the Duchy of Moon."
Speaking of this, the passionate and bright smile that he hadn't appeared in Rod's face again appeared on his face.
"I have heard of the name of "Thunder Sword" Sodfast for a long time. Here I apologize for my misconduct just now, but unfortunately, I do not intend to take back my words."
"So it's you..."
Hearing Rhode's self-introduction, almost all the members of the Council of Light, including Sodfast, looked at Rhode in front of him with fire. This young member can be said to be the biggest enemy of the Council of Light in the past year. Not only did he destroy the Sword Saint of Lan, but even the Ghast was ruined by him. In addition, the failure of a series of plans of the Council of Light was the figure behind this young member. For the Council of Light, the name Rhode is almost ranked behind Lydia, second only to the second highest hatred value of Daya.
"Enough!"
At this moment, a sudden loud shout sounded, and the huge sound shook all the sounds in my ears. Then Chiyao, who had not spoken, made Changda step forward. He pressed his hand on the long sword of flames around his waist, staring at the crowd angrily.
"What a moral thing to do in front of the Holy See! Shut up!"
"Yes, Your Highness, the noble envoy, please forgive me for being excited and rude for a moment."
Rhodes turned around, respectfully bowed to Chiyao, and then retreated. Although Soderfast was so sarcastic, he still had to restrain his expression and bow respectfully to the front, and then turned back to the parliament and joined the group.
Although the scene returned to calm, it became more and more exciting, as the surging under the darkness. Although the Changyao commander stopped the confrontation between the two sides, it seemed very clear from all the scenes that the contradiction between the Duchy of Mun and the Council of Light had completely intensified—a public confrontation.
The atmosphere became strange and solemn for a moment, but at this time Li's expression had returned to calm. She raised her head and looked at Rode gratefully, and then spoke to break the strange silence.
"President, do you remember how you told me before?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
Hearing Li's inquiry, the old president raised his head and looked at Li with some confusion.
"You have told me like this, have you? The Council of Light works hard to make everyone live a happy and happy life, so I hand over everything to you. And you have promised me that there is no problem with everything, isn't that the case?"
"Yes, yes, your Majesty."
Although I don't know why Li asked this question at this time, the old president of the council still had to bite the bullet and answer. When he heard his answer, a angry expression appeared on Li's tender little face for the first time. Although the angry expression of a little girl was not very intimidating, her appearance was indeed shocked compared to when she was expressionless before.
"So, why isn't I know this? President of Parliament? In this country, in this city, there are so many homeless people who are huddled in dark shadows, living hopeless. But President of Parliament, you have never mentioned these to me!"
"His Majesty?"
Hearing Li's inquiry, the old president changed drastically. His face turned pale, his eyes widened, and he looked at Li in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, where did you hear these rumors? I can assure you that there is no such thing as this……………”
"This is what I saw with my own eyes, just yesterday!"
"This...when are you...it's impossible, this...you have been preparing the Dragon Soul Holy Book with the three envoys......"
The old president turned his head and soon, he saw Lydia standing beside him, proud. At this moment, the old president suddenly felt weak all over his body - this was impossible. According to the eyeliner report, his Majesty had been in her temple all the time? She should have never left the temple. Why... Thinking of this, the old president sighed.
He knew that there was nothing to be saved.
And at this moment, Li's voice appeared in his ears again.
"I have made the decision, do you have any comments? President of Parliament?"
