Chapter 22 The Parliament Under the Sky
It was already noon when Hillman and his party arrived at the summit of the Parliament Mountain, and it might be later.But it doesn't matter, it can be regarded as just catching up with the beginning of the parliament, because the kings of Forster and Mantern have not arrived for a long time.

If Mantern's king looked too old, Furster's king looked much more normal.

It was a serious middle-aged man, wearing a gorgeous light green robe and a crown symbolizing the forest on his head.

When he saw Hillman, he turned around, looked at Hillman, and nodded slightly.

Hillman also silently saluted him back.

At the top of the mountain, the magic runes carved on the stone pillars on both sides keep out the severe cold and snow, and gather the air.

It has to be admitted that this is a great achievement created by the ancestors of the mainland. Only by opening up a path in such a dangerous environment can this zenith meeting be set up.

The area of ​​the mountaintop platform is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, but there are only dozens of people standing on it, namely the three kings and the king's entourage.

As a rule, there are no soldiers, at least on the surface.

"Since both of you are here, how about we start the council?"

In Mantern's team, King Mantern showed a seemingly gentle smile and said to Hillman and King First.

"I have no problem." King First nodded and said.

"Then let's get started." Hillman pulled his cloak without any objection.

Although she walked through tens of thousands of steps, she had already rested before reaching the top of the mountain, and drank some magic potions to restore most of her physical strength.

So she looks just like normal.

"Then." King Mantern raised his hand.

Hillman and King First also slowly raised their hands.

The three kings said in unison.

"We announce that the four-nation parliament will be held here."

"call!"

As their words fell, hot flames ignited simultaneously in the braziers at the four corners of the platform on the top of the mountain. The flames danced and rose into the air, illuminating the entire platform.

Also illuminates the council circle in the center of the platform.

The so-called Council Circle was a great ring-shaped building, which looked like a place of worship, at the highest point of the land, which carried the voice of the King of Men to the gods in the sky.

In the four directions of the ring, there are four huge thrones, which are the seats of the four kings.

Through the power of magical runes, the voice of the one who sits on the throne will be heard from the top of the mountain.

This is the majesty of the king, and it is also a kind of oath. Every word spoken here will be transmitted to the sky, verified by the gods, and must not be violated.

Under the four thrones, in the center of the ring, is an open space, on which stands an ancient stone tablet.

The ancient language is engraved on the stele, which is the declaration left by the earliest four kings together.

"In this place, the four kings gather. The sanctity of the council is witnessed by the gods."

Under the declaration is the agreement made by the four kings: not to lead soldiers, not to murder other kings, not to betray their credibility, etc.

Under the radiance of the flames, the king's entourage bowed and retreated, and only the three kings and the king's knights walked towards the central circle together.

Hillman led Chu, King Mantern led a tall mountain warrior, and King First led a thin man.

Hillman approached the circle first.

The old King Manteun passed by King First, and asked in a low voice with a smile.

"His Majesty King Furst, I wonder how you are preparing?"

King First frowned, with a trace of disgust on his face, but finally replied in a deep voice.

"Nature is ready."

As he said that, he walked forward quickly and stepped into the parliamentary circle.

King Mantern stood at the end, with his hands behind his back, the smile on his face remained unchanged, his eyes were indifferent, and he said to himself.

"Just be ready."

······
Mantern's team.

The university student of Mantern stood in the line and frowned deeply. He knew that he was doing something that betrayed himself, but he was powerless to change anything.

When the Prince proposed this plan, he wanted to stop it, but His Majesty the King approved it.

Mantern, the scholar looked bitterly at the back of the king on the platform, have you gone astray?
Even if such a trick is successful, all he will get is shame, right?
······
The three kings sit on their respective thrones in the ring, and the guards of the three kings stand on one side of the throne.

Under the illumination of the flames, the parliament officially opened.

The area of ​​the parliamentary circle is very large. Except for the open space where the declaration stele is erected in the middle, the distance between several thrones is also very far. Simply, the magic runes on the throne have the ability to amplify the sound, allowing their voices to be heard clearly. into each other's ears.

"I believe the two of you also understand why we, Mantern, insist on convening this parliament as usual."

King Mantern sat on the throne carved with peaks and rocks, squinting his eyes, and said in a warm voice.

On the throne, his body was like a rotten old tree growing among the rocks.

King First did not speak in his seat, he kept frowning tightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Hillman leaned slightly, leaning on the armrest of the throne. A lion was carved on the throne behind her, representing Reinhardt.

"King Mantern, please forgive me for not understanding what you mean." Hillman said with a light smile.

"In my opinion, there may not be much point in insisting on this four-nation parliament."

"I can't say it's meaningless." The smile on King Mantern's old face faded a bit: "Instead, I think that this parliamentary meeting will be of great significance, and it will even affect the future of the mainland."

"Oh, is that so?" Hillman had a casual smile on his face, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Since King Mantern has said that it is of great significance, then there must be some major event arranged in this parliament, which can affect the future of the mainland.

What is the big deal, she is looking forward to it.

"Please wait and see King Reinhardt." King Mantern raised his eyes and looked at Hillman who was sitting opposite him.

"So, can I just explain what my country wants to express in this parliamentary session?"

"Naturally." Hillman nodded, spread his palms and said, "Please."

"Um······"

King Mantern nodded slightly, stroked his beard in front of him, and opened his half-closed eyes with sharp eyes.

He opened his mouth, and the dull voice echoed on the mountain peak.

"King Reinhardt, your atrocities should be curbed."
