My cemetery is connected to the game world.

In the far north of the empire's northern frontier, there are only two months of warm season every year. Melis's blood disease forced her to stay in warm places, so she would choose to return to northern Xinjiang to visit her parents every year during the warm season. She was not allowed to climb icebergs and snow peaks, and had to live in a house specially built for her at the foot of the mountain. Inside Warm Castle.

This year, Melis has already delayed the best time to go back to visit her relatives because of the work of the 13th Investigation Team. If she doesn't go back this time, she will have to wait another ten months.

So when she heard that Helot was going to give her a holiday, she first thought of her father and mother whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Helot said: "Get ready today and leave tomorrow. Send my greetings to Duke and Mrs. Erwin. The ice and snow will remain noble and eternal on the poles."

Melis smiled and said: "I would like to thank you on behalf of my father and mother, Mr. Claulund. The friendship between the Erwin family and the Claulund family has never changed in any way due to the wear and tear of time. "

Helot couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't expect that you would say such useless aristocratic words. My blessings all come from my sincerity."

Melis raised her eyebrows and said playfully: "What I said comes from my sincerity. No matter what happened in the intervening hundreds of years, the friendship between you and me should be the same as that of our first generation ancestors. "

Helot looked at Melis and said, "Yes, you are right. The friendship between the Erwin family and the Claulund family has not changed in any way due to the wear and tear of time."

Melis also looked at Helot, but quickly avoided his gaze: "I, I will leave tomorrow. I will tell the watchmen and they will obey your command.

You must be very tired after taking the airship for such a long time. You'd better go back and rest soon! "

Helot stretched his waist, and his bones crackled for a while: "I am a little tired, and it is even more tired to meet His Majesty. I will go back to rest, and let me know when I leave tomorrow, and I will see you off."

"it is good!"

Melis sent Helot out of the door. After closing the door, she couldn't help but slowly sit on the ground leaning against the door. The furrowed brows and bitten lips showed the pain she was suffering at the moment.

Blood flowed from her nose and turned into blood-colored ice crystals falling to the ground.

During this period of time, she continuously forcibly activated the Northern Lights bloodline, causing the bloodline's injuries to become more serious, to the point where it was difficult to suppress them with drugs. The pain made it difficult for her to stand up. She sat huddled on the ground with her hands and knees, her tears turned into transparent ice crystals and blood-colored ice crystals fell together.

The next day, Melis, who did not appear to be in any abnormal condition, boarded a special airship bound for Northern Xinjiang. She sat in the cabin and waved goodbye to Helot through the glass window.

But Herot didn't notice the special emotion in Melis' eyes.

After bidding farewell to Melis, he returned to the Golden Pine Apartment.

The next period of time will be the election cycle for the national parliament of the Glory Oath Empire.

The governing structure under the Emperor of the Oath of Glory Empire, consisting of the palace, the national parliament, and government agencies.

The court ministers were appointed by the emperor. Most of them held real power and were directly responsible to the emperor.

The National Assembly is not directly controlled by the emperor. It has 145 seats and is the voice of the imperial aristocracy. The resolutions passed by the National Assembly are the collective demands of the imperial aristocracy, and even the emperor must pay attention to them. The Speaker of the National Assembly is elected by members of the National Assembly by vote.

The government agency was the executive branch of the empire, and its members were national civil servants who were selected through examinations and assessments.

The third prince Terenas belongs to the palace ministers.

Helot's mother Irina is running for the National Assembly.

Director Coulibal of the Imperial Commercial Investigation Bureau is an imperial civil servant.

Since the Bloody Rebellion, the Imperial National Council has been firmly controlled by the aristocracy. Congress serves the aristocracy, so it will naturally conflict with the imperial power.

Now that Emperor Bradley is in power, more and more emerging businessmen are reaping the dividends of the development of the times. Rich businessmen wanted to gain power to protect their own interests, and Emperor Bradley also wanted to add sand to Congress.

So the two sides hit it off with a tacit understanding.

At the beginning of each national parliamentary election cycle, Emperor Bradley would issue some titles. All civilians who have made preparations to run for parliament and obtained a certain number of recommendation letters from nobles can obtain the title of "Honorary Lord" by donating a sum of money to the empire.

Only with a knighthood can one be eligible to run for Congress.

Then after primaries and formal elections, 145 members of Congress are finally determined.

In the last Congress, the new aristocracy representing the interests of big businessmen won 36 seats. Although it was still far from more than half, as long as they were willing to spend money, many resolutions that were beneficial to the emerging businessmen were passed without touching the fundamental interests of the aristocracy.

In this congressional election, emerging businessmen are gearing up, and some have set their sights on winning more than 40 seats.

The old-school conservative aristocrats also frequently took actions to expel all these so-called new aristocrats from the Congress.

Among them, Irina is the key target of these nobles because she is a woman.

Based on the financial resources and influence of the Tomorrow Group, if the person in power had been a man, he would have entered the National Assembly long ago.

But in the aristocratic succession, sons are given priority. If there are no sons, there are brothers and nephews. Only when all the main heirs of the family are dead can a woman inherit the family, and the result will most likely be annexation by other nobles.

Therefore, the Imperial Congress is a man's game. It is difficult for women to obtain a title, and it is even more difficult for women to be elected as members.

Irina's announcement to run for Congress was a humiliation for some people.

There is also a force that is trying to annex the Tomorrow Group and is blocking Irina's candidacy for parliament.

Of course, there is also the need to survive.

The Black Gold Group has been having a very difficult time. The highly cost-effective steam engines launched by the Tomorrow Group are impacting the low-end machinery industry with unstoppable momentum.

The machinery that has been tinkered with and remodeled is not as cheap as someone else’s brand new one, so who wants your stuff with uneven quality?

Moreover, after the Black Gold Group bought this kind of steam engine, it was dismantled and found that it could not build it, which was even more shocking.

You can’t win if you fight for innovation, and you can’t win if you fight for technology.

If Irina were to enter the Congress, her connections would probably be overwhelming.

After learning that the Claude family and the Tomorrow Group had joined forces, the Black Gold Group felt that it had been pushed to the edge of the cliff. If you don’t work hard, you will only become someone else’s dinner.

No matter what the cost, don't let Irina get the title of "Lord of Honor".

The Black Gold Group issued this order.

The same order is also carried out by other forces.
