Templar Sun King

Chapter 280 The Senate
Royer, Zehi, and Cesare may not know who Janet is, but after Major came to Griffon City, he got to know several people related to Adam, including Janet.

Janet was an ordinary adventurer in Griffin City two years ago, and her strength was mediocre at the Black Iron rank. In just two years, her life trajectory has undergone tremendous changes. Not only has her strength improved to the Bronze rank, but it is also said that Now she takes care of all the affairs of the Griffin City Lord's Mansion.There is also gossip that the establishment of the palace, after Adam is crowned as the king, Janet is very likely to become the countess in charge of court affairs.In addition, Janet has another identity, the wife of Arras, the first governor of the Griffin Principality (although they have not held a wedding).

So when they heard that Janet was visiting, Major knew that they would immediately get the specific arrangement and time for the Grand Duke of Griffin to meet them from the visiting lady.

Things went as Major expected. Janet, who had a completely new look, smiled and informed the four of them: "The Grand Duke decided to meet the four of you in the Senate in the morning three days later." This Senate is an address, a hall transformed temporary office space.Whether it is the royal palace, the senate, or the government affairs palace, they will be built after the unification of the entire Celtic.Without Adam's knowledge, his actions won him a lot of fame in the Griffin Principality. Look, how enlightened their Grand Duke is.

"Thank you for the news, ma'am. We will definitely go to the Senate on time to meet the Grand Duke of Griffin." Although Janet sitting across from him was a whole step behind him in strength, Major did not feel any contempt because of it.

Three days later, in the Senate, Major and the others finally saw Adam the Griffon himself.They had heard of Adam's name more than once before, and they knew that this 19-year-old young master of the Weiwen family had enmity with the two biggest forces in the Light Domain, the Church of Dawn and the Silver Tower, and they were playing games with the entire Celtics.Yes, they did have this idea. The Griffin Principality on Adam's side and the noble council that the Church of Dawn forcibly took over were the chips in the game between the two sides.The result was obvious, the Church of Dawn and the Silver Tower suffered heavy losses, and Adam became the final winner of this battle.

Although there were legendary master Andrew, Grand Duchess Isabella, the first consul Arras, a fat man and six elders in the Senate, the moment the four of Major entered the hall, they all set their sights on Adam sitting on the side. .

Young and handsome as rumored, this is their first impression.The strong strength of the golden rank made this blond-haired, blue-eyed young man exude a confident charm.Appearance, family background, strength, power, plus the elegant and beautiful Grand Duchess Isabella who is also a golden archmage sitting next to him, this young man is like the illegitimate child of a god, and it is easy for others to achieve even if he struggles for a lifetime. s things.

"Major (Royer, Zehi, Cesare) salute you, the great Grand Duke of Griffin!" Because Adam did not add any modifiers to his title of Grand Duke of Griffin, Major only saluted Preface it with a great one to show respect.

"I hope Griffon City doesn't disappoint you." They saw the young Grand Duke Griffin nodded slightly in response.

"She is beautiful and powerful, and she will take on a new brilliance as the center of Celtic, we agree." Griffin City must be the capital of a kingdom in the future, and it is as famous as Upler like Glenn in France, Gaia in Sauk, and Red Castle in Romano.

"Very good, then let's get to the point." Adam clapped his hands without introducing them to other people in the hall.Four priests came in from outside the hall, each holding a tray with a golden badge on it.

Major knew that they were the priests of the sun god, and each of them possessed the strength of the middle-level silver.As they had guessed, the relationship between the Church of the Sun God and the Grand Duke of the Griffon was very close, so close that the legendary master Simon called him the same as the guardian knight Andrew's title of young master.And the priests, who are the priests of God, obey Adam's orders like an oracle and are extremely loyal.You must know that in other churches, even the king needs to apply in advance if he wants to mobilize the power of the church. There is no such thing as Adam.

When the four priests stood still in front of the four of Major, Adam stood up, and the others in the hall also stood up.

"I swear to the Sun God, Major, Royer, Zehi, Cesare, will you all be loyal to me without reservation and will not betray you in your life?"

"I swear to the Sun God, from now on, I will be loyal to the Grand Duke Griffin and never betray!" The four knelt down on one knee and replied in unison.

"I ask you in the name of Grand Duke Griffin, Major, Royer, Zehi, and Cesare, are you willing to be my people, the elders of the Duke of Griffin, and fulfill your obligations?"

The moment they heard this sentence, the four of Major were stunned for nearly two seconds before they realized it, and replied loudly: "I am willing!"

The four priests handed over the badges in the tray to the four of Major, which was the status symbol of the elders of their Griffin Principality.Major took the golden badge and found that on the front was a griffin pattern, and on the back was a sun cross, symbolizing the Griffin Principality and the Church of the Sun God respectively.

The result was really unexpected. According to their expectations, it was very generous for Adam to allow them to return to the south to serve as the city lord of a city.Who would have thought that the other party would directly give the position of the elder!Although the elders of the Principality of Griffins do not have direct administrative power, they have a lot of glory and power. The entire legislative system of the Principality is in the hands of the Senate, and they also have the power to discuss and make suggestions.

This decision was the result of discussions between Adam, Arras, and the Senate all morning.

The four of Major were able to resolutely rebel against the Church of Dawn and purge the church's power in Yeoman to show favor to Adam before the final battle began. Of course, he would not treat them badly. This was the first reason why Adam made this decision.

The second reason is that this can speed up Adam's rule over the southern region with the help of four people.The four of them, especially Major, are the speaker of the noble council. His prestige and reputation in the southern region is quite good. He accepted the four members of the noble council as elders to represent the north-south confluence. All the power was concentrated in the hands of Adam, and the Celtic peace was basically completed. Unification eliminates the possibility of continued fighting in the south, and makes it easier for the people in the south to accept the rule of the Griffin Principality.

Taking over the noble council without a single soldier and with zero loss is much better than Gavin's forceful takeover of the noble council.By the way, he could also gain a good reputation among the people in the south and buy people's hearts, but what he paid was only the positions of the four elders, so that the four of them would stay in Griffin City for the rest of their lives and be grateful to help him advise and share state affairs.

A very good deal, Adam is very satisfied.

"There is one more thing to announce." Adam looked at the chubby businessman, whose small eyes disappeared into a smile on his face.

Arras knew what Adam was about to announce, and granted Martin the official post of Minister of Commerce of the Principality of Griffin.After the founding of the Griffin Principality, each city in the original Seven Cities Federation had a consul (generally held concurrently by the city owner), financial officer, commercial officer, construction officer, etc., and at the national level, these positions corresponded to the first consul , Minister of Finance, Minister of Commerce and Trade, and Minister of Construction.

By the way, after nearly three months of training, Arras finally succeeded in being promoted to the Bronze rank a few days ago, with an extra battle qi seed in his body.He was thrilled about it, even though he was the weakest of the power centers.

To be honest, Arras felt a little unhappy about the fact that Martin was about to become the Minister of Commerce and Trade of the Principality of Griffin, well, maybe a little more.Because he had taken the initiative to become Martin's mercenary, and he was quite embarrassed.If Adam hadn't reached out to help, he would have been buried in the mouth of the ogre.So every time he saw Martin, he would think of that unbearable past, wishing to erase that period of history from the long river of time.It's a pity that he doesn't have that ability, so he can only bury this matter in his heart.

Janet, who got along with her in the past, quickly discovered his abnormality and enlightened him: "You are the first ruler of the Principality of Griffin, and Martin is just the minister of commerce and trade in the administrative system. In terms of official position, the first ruler is above the minister of commerce and trade. In terms of strength , you're a bronze warrior now, and Martin is just a normal guy. I'd say it's Martin who should be embarrassed, the adventurer he once despised is now on top of him. I don't understand why you're unhappy? Just Because you were his mercenary?"

Arras slapped his head and felt that this was indeed the case.

So when Adam announced that Martin became the first Minister of Commerce and Trade of the Griffin Principality in front of ten elders, Arras sent a bright smile, which scared Martin very much.

Arras knew that besides the Minister of Commerce and Trade, Martin would also hold another position, the chairman of the Trust Chamber of Commerce of the Principality of Griffin.This is one of Adam's proposals. In some special fields, the state will monopolize the trade, and other chambers of commerce and merchants are not allowed to intervene.However, the Trust Chamber of Commerce is just a plan at present, but it is certain that the Celtic business field will usher in an extremely shrewd businessman in charge.
