Offa Square.
All the lords from all over Netheril are here, and there are also a large number of representatives of spellcasters and ordinary people who are watching. People who are careful have discovered that there are nearly half more lordships than what they knew in the past!
Thinking of the plane connection ceremony not long ago, many people realized that it was Lord Nese from another plane. At the same time, they also realized that a new era had arrived.
Soon, Badigal walked out of the parliament building with 51 members, stood on the steps and waved to the crowd in the square. In an instant, the audience burst into deafening cheers.
The names of Xia Duo and other members of the main plane were constantly shouted. Seeing this scene, even though Xia Duo had already seen a lot, he couldn't help but gasp. This peak of power is really intoxicating.
But he soon came to his senses, took Niya's hand and followed the other members, walked down the steps, walked slowly to the square, and sat down at the members' seats in the middle hall.
During this process, the cheers and shouts in the square gradually subsided.
"Everyone, the first plenary meeting of the Severnton Council of Netheril begins now!"
Under the influence of the spell, Badigal's calm voice spread throughout the square and even spread further to the outside.
After announcing the start of the meeting, Badigal first quoted the relevant principles on parliamentary organization in the New Covenant to characterize the meeting to demonstrate its legal rationality, and then read out the rules of procedure and main topics again.
Just before coming to the meeting, Chateau and other congressmen had already heard Badigal explain these contents. This time, he repeated the explanation, mainly to the participating lords and the representatives from all walks of life who were observing from the outside.
Of course, this is also necessary to standardize the process.
While Xia Duo listened patiently, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. He had previously made a prophecy about the Severnton Parliament in the Austrian Federation.
The scene is in a new meeting hall that is still being renovated, but the number of lords and members are almost exactly the same. The only difference is the speaker on the main seat.
The speaker in the prophecy was Iolum, but in reality he became Badigal. This feeling of interweaving illusion and reality gave Shado another layer of understanding of prophecy.
"By the way, there seems to be something missing!"
Shado took out the Pioneer Scepter from the portable space and suspended it on the left hand side. This scene was exactly the same as the image of himself he saw in the prophecy screen.
Just this move brought the realization that had just been stuck at the bottleneck to a higher level in an instant. At this moment, he felt as if he was in the torrent of time, watching the timelines continue to differentiate in front of him, forming an extremely long and extremely dense page. The web of destiny.
"Witness the prophecy!"
A brand-new perception suddenly emerged, and Xia Duo suddenly understood why the famous prophets in history always talked so much.
On the one hand, they do see too many future possibilities, but on the other hand, they are probably actively promoting the possible future in some prophecies in order to gain the insight of "witnessing the future."
As long as he witnesses the future too many times, Xia Duo has no doubt that he will gain a passive ability called "Prophecy" and no longer need to use spells to see future scenes.
But thinking about the fate of those famous prophets in history, Xia Duo felt that doing so was not necessarily a good thing. Even if one's mind was strong enough, it would inevitably be affected by the endless illusion of controlling one's destiny, and thus fall into a situation controlled by false destiny.
For a moment, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little frightened about the prophecy spell. No wonder the inheritance of prophecy spell has been intermittent since ancient times and has not become a prominent school.
I am afraid that the knowledgeable people of ancient times have long realized that this spell called "Transcending Destiny" is actually a kind of poison that "traps itself", thus limiting its inheritance.
Even if individual prophets can resist this poison, there is no guarantee of what choices other prophets will make. If there are too many inheritances, it is simply the source of disaster.
Thinking like this, Xia Duo still did not give up the idea of using prophecy spells to test the demon descendants after this conference. No matter what the final outcome of the prophet was, it would not have much impact on him in a short period of time.
As long as you insist on the idea that "the future is variable", you can use the prophecy technique as long as you use it. However, you need to pay attention to changes in this aspect during daily meditation training. If there are signs of changes in mentality that exceed expectations, immediately terminate the relationship. That’s the prophetic plan.
…
On the field.
"Although the new covenant gives the lord almost freedom to do whatever he wants, real freedom has boundaries. To this end, we need to set limits for the boundaries of the lord's power. This limit applies to everyone in Netheril, including councilors. Inside!"
Afterwards, Badigal began to vote on various restrictions one by one. This part was actually discussed long ago and roughly followed the taboos of Netheril in the past.
For example, large-scale creation of undead creatures, large-scale killing of Nese people, etc.
"The first item is to prohibit the large-scale creation of undead creatures."
Badigal called the 51 members one by one and asked them for their opinions, whether they were in favor or against, or whether they were abstaining from voting.
There is no doubt that no one objected to this quick agreement, not even an abstention, and everyone voted in favor.
The reason why these things are still being put to a vote now is mainly to form definite norms. The parliamentary subordinate agencies established after the conference will also formulate more detailed definitions and punitive measures for these taboo behaviors.
For example, if you want to create undead creatures on a large scale, what does it mean to be large-scale, what are the standards, and what kind of punishment measures will be taken when the standards are met.
What the conference is doing now is more to supplement, improve and explain the new covenant. There are more specific laws and regulations under the covenant.
…
As taboo behaviors were restricted by voting, the meeting process quickly came to the second topic, which was the authorization of permanent agencies under the parliament.
The second topic is also divided into several steps. The first is to determine how many lower-level permanent agencies to establish, and then to determine the specific scope of authority for these permanent agencies.
As for the personnel arrangements and position divisions within these institutions, they will not be discussed at this meeting. Instead, they will be nominated by Speaker Badigal, and the members will vote to determine whether to pass them at the next meeting.
The same process applies to laws and regulations regarding specific definitions of taboo behaviors and punishment measures. They will be formulated by lower-level parliamentary agencies and then submitted to the parliament for a vote.
If the council meeting fails to produce a result, a plenary meeting will be convened to allow the lords to vote, and the results of the lords' vote will be more effective.
If the lords vote and cannot reach a result (two-thirds of the minority agree), it obviously means that this law or other proposal cannot be approved by the majority and will be returned to its original position.
