Weird Wizarding World

Two days passed quickly, and the day of awarding the badge arrived.

This morning.

In the center of Neustadt, the Supreme Council Hall, the central hall on the first floor.

Hey, let's clean the windows here again!

Staff members wearing witch robes shuttled among them, preparing for the grand awarding ceremony.

The entire ceremony is actually not lengthy, but very brief, usually lasting only ten minutes at most.

But even so, the wizards present did not dare to be sloppy at all, and the layout of every corner of the hall must be perfect.

They started cleaning carefully before dawn, and it would take at least three to five hours to complete the decoration.

Long time no see, Tennyson.

Upstairs in the hall, some congressmen who had arrived early were exchanging pleasantries.

Long time no see, Whitley, I didn't expect it to be your representative coming from Meredith City.

In principle, every wizard city must send at least two representatives to attend every new congressman's awarding ceremony, and half of the congressmen from the wizard city where the new congressman is located must attend.

It's just that now is a war period, and the corresponding requirements have been reduced according to regulations.

The city of Neustadt only requires ten members to participate, while the other wizard cities only need one.

However, this time Colin became a member of the second rank, which must have attracted the attention of many people. Looking at it now, although it is still morning, the number of members present has far exceeded twenty.

I can't help it. Ninety percent of Meredith City's council members have gone to the war front. I happened to be in the city, so I came over to take a look. Whitley sighed slightly.

What's the situation on the front line now? Tennyson asked.

It's not good, it's not bad either. After that night, the gods' attack slowed down again. It's probably going to be a protracted war until the food problem breaks out. Whitley shook his head.

Is the damage to the farmland in Meredith City serious? Tennyson continued to ask.

That night the gods not only launched an action against Neustadt to pollute the farmland, but also launched a similar action against Meredith.

This news has not reached Neustadt yet, but Tennyson, as a member of Parliament, has already learned about the news.

Serious. Whitley shook his head and found a seat with Tennyson to sit down.

At least 60% of Meredith's farmland was contaminated, and grain silos in many places were burned down.

Fortunately, Meredith's landform is hilly and mountainous, and the distance between farmland and farmland is far apart. Otherwise, the losses would have been even greater based on the conditions at the time.

Those traitors are so abominable! Tennyson said angrily.

They're just a bunch of cowards. Whitley expressed disdain, and then suddenly asked out of curiosity: I heard that the newly promoted congressman this time is only a second-level high-level wizard?

Yes. Tennyson nodded, I don't know much about him, but I heard that Senator Noyce used his once-in-a-century independent election power for him.

I heard that he is not from the Tate family yet? Whitley was a little curious.

I heard that yes, he is a hybrid wizard. Tennyson replied, then hesitated and added: The Tate family's attitude towards this matter seems a bit strange.

Whitley raised his eyebrows, You mean the Tate family has a problem with this new congressman?

I don't know, but you know that in the past, if a member of the Tate family was a new member of the House of Representatives, they would hold some private gatherings in advance to expand their contacts with the new members, but this time there was no news at all...until the announcement of the awarding ceremony. Only when he showed up did everyone know about it.”

Tennyson paused slightly as he spoke, glanced behind Whitley and whispered, The Tate family is here.

That's... Senator Nickler? Whitley followed his line of sight and asked hesitantly.

The members of the Supreme Council are mainly divided into three classes - ordinary members, great members and six supreme members.

The necessary conditions for becoming a great councilor are that the strength is at least level four, and some outstanding contributions are also required.

Yes. Tennyson looked at Wheatley with a smile on his face, stood up and went over.

Good morning, Mr. Nickler.

For the awarding ceremony of new members, there must be at least three senior members present. It was still early, and the wizards in the hall downstairs were still setting up the venue, so Nickler was the first senior member to arrive.

As soon as he arrived, he naturally became the focus of the crowd, and there was an endless stream of greetings.

Nickler was not arrogant and greeted the wizards kindly.

Upon seeing this, Tennyson was about to inquire about some news about the new congressman, but he heard a congressman behind him suddenly congratulated:

“Congratulations to the Tate family on adding another member of Parliament!”

Tennyson and Whitley next to him looked at each other with strange expressions.

Sure enough, when he looked at Nickler, the smile on his face had disappeared, and he looked up at the congressman who seemed to be a little ill-informed.

The smile on the congressman's face froze, and then he realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.

The newly minted congressman does not belong to the Tate family.

Fortunately, Nickler wasn't really angry, he just paused for two seconds and said calmly.

After this incident, no one mentioned this topic again.

But everyone knew that at least the Nickler in front of him was not friendly towards the newly promoted congressman.

And this senior patriarch of the Tate family, in some respects, can even represent the attitude of the Tate family better than Noyce.

Nickler looked at the wizards with different expressions in front of him and smiled faintly in his heart.

He came here in advance just to show this attitude.

Noyce did not consider his opinion at all, and arbitrarily used his precious once-in-a-hundred-year election power, which really made him furious!

‘I am Noyce, do I need to ask you to use my right of election? ’ Thinking of Noyce’s previous words, Nickler sneered in his heart.

He will make Noyce understand that the Tate family only has a 300-year-old clan leader, but there is no 300-year-old Noyce!

Time passed quietly, and the congressmen gradually arrived, gathering in the grand and elegant hall.

Three high councilors sat on the soft chairs at the front, Nickler sat in the middle, and the other two councilors, one from the Ishtar School and the other from Meredith City.

As for Noyce, as the recommender, he is also the host of the awarding ceremony.

The remaining MPs were witnesses.

The entire awarding ceremony is divided into three parts.

The first part is for the host wizard to read out the status of the newly elected members, mainly focusing on their outstanding contributions to becoming members.

Then came the second part, where the new members came to the stage to receive the exclusive badges of the Supreme Council members.

The last part is to allocate management areas to the new councillors.

It's twelve o'clock sharp.

Noyce's figure appeared on the stone platform on time.

Good afternoon, everyone. Noyce greeted everyone with a smile, his eyes lingering on the three senior congressmen in the front row for a moment.

Without further ado, let's start the awarding ceremony now.

According to tradition, Noyes read out some words praising the emergence of wizards and the Supreme Council, and then continued:

On this beautiful day, I am pleased to announce that the great Supreme Council will welcome a new member - Colin Leonard.

This wizard was born in an ordinary mortal kingdom called Holy Flame in Meredith twenty years ago. After that, after a rough and legendary experience, he came to Neustadt and made an indelible contribution to the wizards in the following days, and thus obtained the qualification to become a member of the Supreme Council. !

Having said this, Noyce paused for a moment, looked around at the congressmen in the audience and continued:

I have to tell you, you have all heard about him for a long time.

The congressmen in the audience were a little surprised, and Whitley turned to look at Tennyson beside him, his eyes full of inquiry.

But the latter spread his hands to indicate that he didn't know, with the same confusion on his face.

Heroic Wizard... this term was once circulated for a while when the crisis of betrayal among the elves broke out, and many people have heard of it——

With good luck and amazing courage, courage and strength, a wizard successfully discovered the fact that the elves had betrayed the wizard, allowing the wizard's side to avoid the tragic ending of the entire army being annihilated in that crucial battle... So people spontaneously called He is a heroic wizard.

Surprise gradually appeared on Tennyson's face. Could it be that...

Yes, this heroic wizard is Colin Leonard. Noyce continued, confirming his suspicion.

The members in the audience were a little surprised when they heard this. For the Crimson Marking Technique, the information about the heroic wizard was kept secret by Noyes, and it was not widely disseminated afterwards, so most of them did not know about the heroic wizard. True identity.

There are even people who have always believed that the heroic wizard is just a fictional character made up by Noyes to confuse the gods.

Noyce continued with a smile:

In addition, I believe everyone has heard about the recent farmland pollution incidents in Tielaimei Plain and Meredith City.

But what you may not know is that that night, the traitor God also planned an attack on the mana mines in Neustadt City, and was about to succeed.

Of course, it was successfully stopped in the end. Noyce smiled, and then said: As you can imagine, the reason why this attack was eliminated was thanks to Colin Leonard.

His contribution to the wizarding side is unparalleled, and he is well-deserved to be a member of Parliament!

Noyce's story ends here.

Snapped.

Bang bang bang——

The congressmen in the audience burst into applause.

When the applause died down, Noyce smiled and prepared to move on to the next item, awarding Colin the badge.

But at this moment, a congressman in the back row suddenly spoke up.

Sir Noyce.

Nickler, who was in the front row, raised the corners of his mouth in a subtle arc.

What's wrong, Carl, do you have any comments you want to make?

The male congressman stood up and said respectfully to Noyce.

The contribution of the new congressman is naturally impeccable, but wizards value strength. To become a real congressman, in addition to contribution, you also need strong strength, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

I heard that Colin Leonard only has the strength of a second-level senior, and I can't help but worry about whether this young wizard can serve as a member of the Council. Therefore, according to the regulations of the Supreme Council, I want to initiate a reasonable duel application to him.

Noyce was slightly startled, and his eyes moved to Nickler in the front row.

The latter's face was calm, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, as if he was surprised why Noyce looked over.

Noyce looked away.

The Supreme Council does have such regulations, and becoming a member requires both strength and contribution to meet the standards.

But generally speaking, this step is checked by the supreme councillor.

The six supreme councilors will fairly consider both strength and contribution to decide whether a wizard can become a councilor.

Generally speaking, as long as you pass this step, you have become a member of the Supreme Council.

However, during the badge awarding ceremony, if any member has doubts about the strength or contribution of the new member, they can still raise it again on the spot.

Contributions are generally not mentioned, after all, the Supreme Councilor has already reviewed them.

If there is doubt, there must be conclusive evidence, and then the Supreme Council will review it again based on new evidence.

If the contribution is proven to be false, both the newly elected member and the wizard he recommended will be severely punished.

As for strength, questions can also be raised.

Since the Supreme Councilor takes both strength and contribution into consideration, there may indeed be cases where the contribution is high but the strength is not.

In this case, the congressmen present can apply for a friendly duel to the new congressmen. After discussion, if more than half of the congressmen think that the new congressmen are too weak to shoulder the responsibility of the congressmen. responsibility.

Then the new members will temporarily lose their status as members, and will not be awarded the badge again until they have passed the test.

In this case, the new member will not really lose his status as a member, but will only be temporarily suspended.

'That's right... Colin's contribution is so outstanding, they probably think that Colin is really just an ordinary second-level high-level wizard. ’

Noyce looked at Karl who stood up, smiled, and asked, Are you sure?

Karl's eyes wandered a little, but he still avoided Noyce's gaze and said solemnly: I'm sure.

Okay. Noyce said no more, then suddenly patted his forehead and said in a tone as if he had just remembered something:

But I have to correct a mistake of yours, Carl.

Colin Leonard is actually a third-level wizard.
