Chapter 381 Three Meetings
The third and final meeting of the Kingdom's Plenary Council was held on time at 9 a.m.
The atmosphere in the auditorium was very solemn. Every member present knew that no matter what the outcome of the previous discussion was, and no matter what the attitudes and tendencies of the members were, the final decision rested with the king.
Today, the king will make the final judgment on Kino. No matter what answer he gives, it must be a far-reaching thing.
It is worth mentioning that Yuanwen Doguland, who had returned to his hometown to recuperate, appeared in the auditorium, but because he did not participate in the first two meetings, he was not technically a member of the current session and only sat in the corner of the last row.
But in any case, this minister of law and bachelor has the power to directly propose amendments to the code with one hand, and with the other hand he is the leader of the three future crown princes. He has enough status and face, and his appearance
It will surely attract the attention of all MPs.
After each member of Parliament enters the hall, they will take the initiative to greet Yuan Wen in the back row before taking their seats.
Yuan Wen's performance was very indifferent. Apart from the ordinary greetings between officials, he ignored any conversation and just sat there looking out at the platform. People can't help but guess the reason for his appearance here. Is he just listening like an outsider? Or is it something else?
There is a profound meaning...
No matter how suspicious the audience is, the final judgment on the stage has begun.
The presiding judge stood in front of the trial bench, with Kino waiting for trial behind him. He faced the aloof king, and his loud voice resounded through the auditorium: "Your Majesty, during the first two meetings and during the adjournment, members of all parties conducted careful discussions.
We discussed together and finally came to a unified conclusion. Now, I will read out this draft proposal to you——"
"1. Deprive the administrator of Twilight City, Kino Van Helsing, of all his merits and positions. The original eight officials and subordinate officials of Twilight City will be dismissed together. The administrative agencies of Twilight City will be temporarily placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of Fengyunguan of Fenghuo Province until the new year.
One term of management took office.”
"Second, in order to ensure that the "curse" does not transfer disorderly, Kino Van Helsing's right to life will be fully protected by the kingdom, but at the same time, his right to personal freedom will be permanently deprived of his right to personal freedom by the Dagon family.
Imprisoned on an unknown island in the "Sea of Broken Moon", the capital of Gray Mist Province, to ensure that attacks from extraterrestrial visitors stay away from the center of the kingdom."
"Third, in order to protect Kino van Helsing's right to life, the area around the nameless island will be under martial law with the main fleet of the Dagon family, and a large number of ferocious sea beast lairs will be built on the undersea plate. At the same time, the island will be garrisoned by elites from each major family.
Composed of extraordinary beings, they will work with the Dagon fleet to build the nameless island into a military barrier strong enough to resist the invasion of aliens."
"Fourth, any extraterrestrial visitor who dies due to the attack on the nameless island must turn his trophies over to the royal city and be uniformly distributed by the royal family. The rest of the personal achievements will be rewarded according to Doguland's military law."
"five..."
...
The chief judge read out the contents of this draft item by item. Putting aside the official language, the central meaning was: imprison Kino on an island far away from the center of the kingdom. While protecting his life and preventing the transfer of the curse, he was used as a bait to attract and
Force the aliens to attack the isolated island, and then use the absolute strength and defense advantages to kill them and plunder their weapons and equipment. All the loot will be distributed fairly by the royal family without any competition.
This approach is like setting up a mouse trap, Chino is the cheese, and the alien is the mouse.
If this draft is really approved by Perseus, then Kino will be useless in this life - he will indeed not die and can live for a long, long time, but this life can only be locked in a dark cage without any light.
With no hope of seeing the light of day again, he has no freedom of movement, and can no longer harvest emotional value through the triple shackles. He can only survive like this year after year, until the long years inevitably kill him, or one day Doguland will use the power of the whole country to
Unable to resist the invasion, he eventually died at the hands of the reincarnators...
Life is worse than death. This is a proposal more desperate than direct execution.
But what is very subtle is that when faced with such a proposal, Kino did not have any emotional ups and downs, and his expression was so calm that it was a bit scary. He just watched everything silently.
After reading the draft, the chief examiner looked at Perseus and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the above items have been unanimously approved by all members of the parliament. Please make your decision."
This draft cannot be called perfect for any family, but it is very balanced, with both efforts and gains.
The only one with relatively large hidden damage should be the Eric family.
Once Doguland captures more and more extraterrestrial props and cracks the technological system, the monopoly of rune technology driven by soul magic in the kingdom will no longer exist. This is obviously unacceptable.
As for what kind of negotiations Horned Heron conducted with other families in the past few days, what deals they made with each other, why they finally agreed to this proposal, what concessions they made, what compensation they received... these are currently unknown.
Already.
Under the spotlight, Perseus did not reply directly, but looked at Kino and asked: "Is there anything you want to defend yourself? I'll give you the opportunity to speak, cherish it."
Faced with the last chance to speak, Kino responded with silence. There was no expression on his face. Even the master who studied micro-expressions most deeply could not guess what he was thinking. He just looked sideways at the colored windows of the auditorium.
, as if waiting for something...
Seeing that Kino didn't speak, Perseus looked at the parliamentarians who represented the backbone of the kingdom in the audience. For some reason, there was an unspeakable...loss in his eyes.
Finally, Perseus looked up and sighed, picking up the hammer that symbolized judgment...
The court hammer is raised high and then dropped...
Just when the sound was about to be finalized, the door of the auditorium suddenly opened. When the members heard the sound, they subconsciously looked back. Only Yuan Wen was still looking at the stage with a calm expression.
Perseus also looked over, and when he saw the other party clearly, he suddenly frowned: "Solan?..."
The person who came was none other than the ninth princess of the royal family, Solandel Van Dogulland.
Although Solandel slept one night at Yuanwen's house, her body was really hurt during this period. She could not recover by taking a nap and eating something, and her mental state was still not good.
Under the attention of everyone, Solandel walked to the stage, first saluted her father, who had the highest status, and then saluted each member of parliament in order according to their status. Finally, she raised her head and said deeply: "Members of Congress, I'm sorry to disturb everyone.
Process, please forgive me for being rude..."
Perseus said in a deep voice: "You are not a member of the Kingdom's Parliament. There is no reason and you should not be here. You go back to the mansion first. If you have anything to do, talk to me alone later."
Solandel nodded slightly to her father, her expression firmer than ever before: "I'm sorry, father, please forgive me for disobeying your order for the first time. I can't leave here, and I want to ask you for one thing - please
