Arknights is too real, right?

For their own interests, Xia Feng and Maren Lege became "friends".

Faced with the people who had lured him into danger, to be honest, Xia Feng didn't have any hatred or psychological barriers. Maybe this was growth.

He became more concerned about winning and losing than personal feelings.

Of course, there is an important condition here, that is, Malenleg only hurt himself from beginning to end, and did not hurt his friends.

After a while, the staff of the Yuan Council came to the lounge and informed that the meeting was about to begin.

Although Marenleg is not the head of the Maren family, he is the heir to the Maren family. As a first-level nobleman assigned by the royal family to manage the Royal Academy, there is not only one quota in the Yuan Council.

Marenleg is also a member of the Metaparliament, but of course, he is just an ordinary member.

The Imperial Yuan Parliament, composed of members of Victoria's major aristocrats, has the power to participate in the formulation of laws and regulations, and the decision-making of the development of the empire. Under special circumstances, it can even jointly veto the wrong decisions of royal members.

The membership levels are divided into ordinary members, permanent members, collegiate officers, and Yuan Speaker.

This is easy to understand. Ordinary members refer to nobles like Xia Feng who are not in Londinium and are summoned for meetings. Ordinary members have the largest number, but they also have the weakest voice.

The permanent members refer to the members who live around Londinium all year round. In addition to meetings, they also participate in various daily work of the Yuan Council.

The collegial officer refers to the core members who have the right to hold meetings for a certain decision. The current collegial officers are all heads of the first-level nobles, and there are 12 people in total.

As for the final Chairman Yuan, he is the person who presides over the meeting elected by voting. In terms of duties and powers, he is almost the same as the collegiate officer. The only special thing is that he shouts "start" and "dismissal" at the beginning and end of the meeting.

The full name of the current Speaker of the Yuan is Maren Levre. He is the head of the Maren family, a first-level noble in the north, and the biological father of Maren Laige.

Under the guidance of the staff, Xia Feng walked into the hall where the parliament was held.

At this time, there were already many people sitting inside. As far as the eye could see, there were old guys over fifty years old. Some were chatting in low voices, some were smoking and drinking tea, and some were closing their eyes to relax.

Xia Feng looked around and found that except for Maren Laig, he knew none of these noble men.

Finally, he found a seat in the corner and sat down.

Naturally, a guy like Mullenleg would not be as autistic as him. After entering, this leader of the younger generation started various "upper-class social activities" and had a lot of fun chatting with some fat-headed family members. Huh.

Some nobles with serious faces ignored his "enthusiasm" at all.

After walking around the hall like a courtesan, Marenleg finally returned to Xia Feng and sat down.

People walked into the conference hall one after another. Xia Feng looked at the time and found that it was already the time the staff said the meeting would start.

"boom!"

As the last old man entered, the door of the conference hall was slammed shut by the guards.

This old man had gray hair and a thin face. Judging from his temperament, he did not look like a nobleman at all. However, Xia Feng recognized his identity from the name tag on his desk.

【President Yuan】

That's right, this man is Maren Legg's father, the Yuan Speaker of the Imperial Yuan Parliament, Maren Leffle.

In the conference hall, there were seven or eight people sitting on either side of Lefl. You knew without asking that these people were collegial officials.

There are 12 collegiate members of the Yuan Council. It seems that several adults are not here today, but this is normal. According to the style of the Yuan Council, since its establishment, all members have never attended normally.

Among the collegial officials absent today is the head of the Cape family, Imperial Inspector General Capewamy.

The meeting begins.

Maren Levell first took a sip of the tea on the table to moisten his throat, and then spoke.

"My lords, please be quiet. The regular meeting of the Yuan Council will begin now. Before raising several issues today, I would like to introduce a new member to you."

Speaker Lefl looked down at the seats.

"Lord Xia Feng, a third-level noble from the south. Where is Sir Xia Feng sitting? Please raise your hand."

Hearing his name being called, Xia Feng, who was sitting in the corner, stood up and said to Leful in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

"I'm here, Lord Leifle. You are the elder, so don't call me Lord. Just call me by my name."

Because he knew the friendship between Xia Feng and his son Maren Lege, this elder's words were deeply appreciated by Leful.

He nodded and said seriously.

"My lords, this young man is Xia Feng. I believe everyone sitting here must have heard of this young man. From today on, he is a member of our Yuan Council. We are all decorated by the Royal Family of the Victoria Empire. Nobles, please take care of each other from now on.”

At this time, a fat middle-aged man next to Leful snorted coldly.

"Xia Feng, I have heard of this name. As far as I know, he is an infected person."

Hearing the words infected, there was a slight sound of surprise in the hall. It seemed that even though more than a month had passed since the incident, some ill-informed members of the Yuan Council still didn't know that he was an infected person.

After hearing these obviously barbed words, Xia Feng's humble expression disappeared.

Sensing the change in his mood, Marenleg, who was sitting next to him, reminded him in a low voice.

"Xia Feng, this person's name is Luo Da. He is a first-level noble in the north. Calm down."

Of course, Xia Feng would not be ungrateful. His identity would be questioned by the Yuan Council. He had long expected this. Or rather, at this level, he would not care at all.

Xia Feng lowered his head slightly.

"Loda, right? You are right. I am indeed an infected person, but this does not prevent me from appearing here. Although I am only a third-level noble, my noble status is also awarded by the royal family. This Just like us, do you have any questions?"

Collegiate Officer Luoda snorted lightly and didn't even want to answer the question.

Perhaps in his eyes, a small character like Xia Feng was not even qualified to argue with him.

In fact, Xia Feng was indeed an insignificant role in this meeting. After introducing him, the meeting started as usual.

Picking up the materials that had been compiled in advance, Speaker Lefl first raised three issues.

1. Adjustments to import and export tariffs on several types of commodities.

Second, the increase in national treasury grain reserves.

3. Discussion on the possibility of disarmament in the four major military regions.

Xia Feng has no idea about these three so-called issues. The only one that concerns him is tariff adjustment.

However, the current main business of the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce is smuggling. As for the normal freight business of collecting taxes, it is purely a superficial job for show. It doesn't matter whether he adjusts it or not.

And the subsequent food reserves and disarmament have nothing to do with him.

However, although there was no direct relationship, from the literal meaning of these two nouns, he could faintly smell something that made him uneasy.
