Chapter 1011

Originally, the holy soul wizard and the imperial councilors were all shocked when they heard that Renn wanted to set up the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, which was only responsible to the emperor.

Everyone is familiar with this kind of intelligence agency. The Empire once had one called "Hand of Orion".

This "hand" was stained with countless blood and created many unjust, false and wrong cases. It can be said that it is notorious. It is hated by imperial officials and ordinary people. In the first year of the establishment of the Supreme Council, the Hand of Orion was disbanded.

Now the emperor wants to rebuild another one!

Although judging from the name, it does not seem to be the kind of institution that does dirty things for the emperor, but in the future, who can guarantee that it will not deteriorate?

Everyone's first thought was to oppose it, and this kind of department that is difficult to control should not appear again!

But before he could speak, Ren continued on.

"The Imperial Senate!"

"Possess great power, above the Imperial Parliament!"

Hearing these two descriptions from Ren, the eyes of the holy soul wizards flashed brightly, and the imperial councilors also became excited. Does the emperor want to establish another supreme council to share his rights?

Everyone's attention was attracted by the Senate, and no one cared about the Imperial Intelligence Bureau.

Ren grasped the changes in everyone's minds and smiled secretly.

Sure enough, when it comes to their own interests, no one cares about other things. They mixed the Imperial Intelligence Bureau with the establishment of the Senate and announced that if they want to enter the Senate, they must all agree to the establishment of these three institutions. position.

Everyone looked at each other, but it was difficult to speak.

In the end, Anxi Wodas, who was in a detached position, stood up and asked, "Ren, can you tell me more about the Imperial Senate? Everyone is very interested."

Ryan didn't communicate with anyone in advance, so Anse Woldas didn't know the inside story.

In fact, since Ren became the emperor, he has not had a serious discussion with the teacher, and all policies are considered and decided by himself.

"Okay, teacher."

Ren smiled and said: "Everyone, you can understand the Imperial Senate as a higher-level imperial parliament, with greater power, higher status, more glory and prestige," he paused, his face changed Solemnly, "And, a heavier responsibility!"

Everyone below listened carefully, and their expressions became serious.

"Every elder of the empire can meet with the emperor at any time and put forward his own suggestions on all affairs within and outside the empire. This is the right to make suggestions."

"The elders of the empire have the power to supervise, investigate, and impeach officials and parliamentarians at all levels of the empire. This is the power of supervision."

"When the emperor needs it, the elders of the empire will be formally entrusted to serve as the emperor's envoys to inspect the provinces and cities in the empire; to go abroad and conduct diplomatic activities on behalf of the emperor with other countries; they can also lead the imperial army and command operations."

Every time Renn said a right, everyone's eyes became brighter.

The right to advise, the right to supervise, the emperor's envoy!

The combination of these three rights does give the elders of the empire more power than the members of the empire, but it is still far from the supreme council.

The suggestion of the elders may not be adopted by the emperor;

Supervise officials, but not the head of the emperor;

Not to mention serving as an envoy, the emperor temporarily lent a part of his power, which can be taken back with a word.

The Senate is above the Imperial Council, and the emperor is above the Senate. The empire is still the emperor's empire, and the emperor is a dictator.

Therefore, the reactions of the holy soul wizards were not too big, and only a few dozen imperial councilors were really keen to yearn for the Senate.

However, Ren's goal is the holy soul wizard.

After the dissolution of the Supreme Council, how to deal with the Holy Soul Wizard has always been the primary issue he considered.

They have powerful power, and several of them are still in the floating city. Not only are they highly prestigious among the common people, but the influence of the Supreme Council cannot be completely erased for a while, and each of them is a genius who can stand on his own. Their wisdom and Creation profoundly affected the Empire, even changing the entire Material Plane.

The gathering of more than a dozen holy soul wizards is enough to form a strategic force. Of course, we can't just waste it like this, let alone let it go.

It is best to keep it for your own use!

So Wren came up with the idea of ​​setting up the Imperial Senate.

The above three powers are not very attractive to the holy soul wizard. He had expected it, so he smiled and said frankly: "You masters have no interest in becoming a veteran, I can understand, so I do what I can. Within the scope of the law, the elders are given the highest treatment."

"first,"

Ren stretched out a finger, "The elders of the empire will receive a salary every year, and the amount is 500,000 gold shields."

As soon as the words fell, there were a few gasps from below.

An annual salary of 500,000 gold shields!

There are not many jobs in the entire empire that can get such a high salary. No matter what level it is, 500,000 gold shields is not a small amount.

Many of the imperial councilors present were not worth half a million gold shields, so they were shocked.

And this is an annual salary, you can get it every year!

Immediately, the eyes of some imperial parliaments who were not rich were all red. Master Oroin, Prophet Medifer, and Master Huo Huai have always been relatively poor. Recently, they owed a lot of debt for the construction of the floating city, and they were immediately moved.

With half a million gold shields a year, they can pay off their debts in just a hundred years.

Even the richer holy soul wizards are a little jealous, especially the Duke of Silver Star, she is really afraid of poverty.

Anse Wodos and Kronomanser were quite moved. Although they owned the Floating Void City, it would cost money every day to train school wizards in the Floating Void City. The fixed income of 500,000 gold shields a year can relieve a lot. pressure.

Dean Sabra also wants to increase income and reduce the financial pressure on Blueworth College.

Renn only made one condition, and most of the holy soul wizards were shaken.

He couldn't help sighing again, money can turn ghosts around!

The banknote ability is so easy to use!

"The salaries of the elders of the empire are paid out of the national treasury, so you don't have to worry about arrears of wages. I will ask the financial officer to reserve this money as a priority every year."

Ren made a small joke and continued: "Secondly, everyone who enters the Imperial Senate can get a 'senator's seal' as a symbol of status."

The holy soul wizards didn't take it seriously when they heard that it was just a status symbol.

Then, they saw Ren took out a magic ring and suspended it in front of everyone. The magic fluctuations were very subtle, but how could it be hidden from the eyes of the holy soul wizards.

"Legendary magic item!"

The Great Sage Congerald was taken aback.

All eyes are focused on the ring. It is brilliant like gold. The ring is round and engraved with countless tiny runes on the inside. The face of the ring is wide like a seal, and there is a conspicuous sign of the cross of a warhammer and a crescent moon in the middle. , this is the emblem of the Augustus family. The four corners of the ring are engraved with delicate double-headed eagles. The whole ring is gorgeous and noble, and it is extraordinary at a glance.

Legendary!

The eyes of the imperial councilors were straightened. Many of them saw legendary magic items for the first time, and they were relatively rare accessories in the legendary class.

Generally speaking, jewelry magic items such as rings, badges, brooches, and necklaces have higher value than armor weapons of the same level.

Because of the small size of jewelry, it is more difficult to manufacture, and the quantity is scarce, but multiple pieces can be worn.

The Duke of Silver Star looked at the seal ring of the elder, feeling a little familiar.

The same is true for the Queen of Storms, her eyes were burning, and she couldn't wait to ask: "Your Majesty, what effect does the seal ring of the elder have on it?"

"It can speed up the casting of spells, and it is effective for spells with one to nine rings, but there will be a decline. Nine ring spells can only be accelerated for half a second at most."

Ren spoke modestly, but the eyes of the holy soul wizards lit up.

The nine-ring spell speeds up for half a second, which is so useful!

Saint-level spellcasters have mastered many spells, but in battle, especially spellcasters of level 20 to 30, the nine-ring spells that can really be used are at most three or five, and most of the spells are still below the nine-ring. They didn't want to, but the nine-ring spell was cast too slowly.

Don't underestimate just half a second. For some holy soul wizards, this half-second gap can instantly cast several nine-ring spells!

Of course Ren is very clear about this.

He smiled and continued: "The seal ring of the elder comes with a dimensional space of 30 cubic meters, and it is enchanted with three spells, namely the eighth-ring 'time flashback', the seventh-ring 'spell invalid barrier' and the sixth-ring 'Mind Leap'."

"The flashback of time does not require me to introduce more. Although there are only eight rings, the farthest can only be flashed back to four seconds, which is two seconds shorter than the nine rings, but it is instantaneous, and the trigger interval is only one hour. It can play a key role in combat."

"Psychic Leap can be triggered three times a day."

"The highest spell invalidation barrier is the seventh ring. However, the invalidation barrier of the seal ring of the elder is constant, and it can take effect up to twelve times within half an hour."

Speaking of this, Renn's face was a little smug.

Spell Nullification Barrier is a well-known protective spell. Its power is not as powerful as that of the anti-magic force field. The principle of the spell is different, but it is easier to master.

This spell is blessed on the body and can suppress spells of the lower level.

The seven-ring spell invalidation barrier suppresses the first to sixth ring spells. It is not a force field. It will only be triggered when the enemy's spell hits itself, making the spell invalid. Moreover, the enchantment has a limit on the number of triggers, and a spell consumes once.

Normally, the seven-ring magic ineffective barrier can only take effect four times, but the number of triggers for the seal ring of the elder has tripled!

It takes twelve spells to penetrate the barrier.

Of course, it is useless against spells above the sixth level, but in many battles, low-level spells are sometimes very deadly, especially Netherist wizards, who like to use low-level spells that can be cast instantly to show their superb spellcasting wisdom .

As long as he wears the seal ring of the elders, it is almost impossible for a holy rank powerhouse to capsize in the gutter because of a low-level spell.

Extraordinary people who are not spellcasting professions wear it, and they have greater confidence when facing spellcasters.

The eyes of the imperial councilors were full of fanaticism.

In fact, not to mention anything else, just 30 cubic meters of dimensional space makes their eyes red. An ordinary epic-level dimensional space ring, worth tens of thousands of gold shields, has only one cubic meter of space, and the space of the seal ring of the elder Thirty times bigger!

However, this is not the end.

Ren said again: "In addition, the elder's seal ring also has a spell storage slot, which can store nine-ring spells and can be replaced at any time. Of course, there is no problem in storing spells below nine rings, it all depends on the elders' own preferences."

He pointed to the seal ring in front of him, "I store anti-magic rays in this ring."

While speaking, the elder's seal ring suspended in mid-air was activated.

A transparent ray burst out in an instant, flew over everyone's heads, and hit the ground at the gate of the Rick Palace without leaving any traces. The ray dissipated, but everyone present could see clearly, terrified. endlessly.

Sure enough, it was an anti-magic ray, with nine rings instantly!

"Worthy of being legendary!"

The great sage Congerald was amazed and asked very curiously: "Your Majesty, did you make the seal ring of the elder?"

"certainly."

Ren nodded. The seal ring of the elder is actually a "synthetic" product of the pixel world workbench. After learning from Raistlin's crimson seal ring, after several years of exploration, he finally got a stable material formula and produced the first legendary magic item.

For the holy soul wizard, the most important thing is to speed up the casting.

Although the acceleration effect of the seal ring of the elder is only half of that of the crimson seal ring, which is only half a second, and the enchantment spells are two less, but the additional dimensional space, three spells and a storage spell slot add up to make the elder The value of the seal ring is no less than that of the crimson seal ring.

In the eyes of extraordinary people below the holy rank and non-casters, the value of the elder's seal ring is actually higher and more attractive.

"The elder's seal ring is worth at least five million gold shields!"

The Duke of Silver Star couldn't help getting up.

She finally remembered why the seal ring of the elder was so familiar. It was very similar to the crimson seal ring she traded to Rennes. She had worn the magic ring for hundreds of years and was forced to give it to Rennes. It was her regret the most these years one thing.

If you can get a seal ring of the elder, it can be regarded as compensation at least.

The Queen of Storms is also very greedy. After getting the seal ring of the elder, she can instantly cast four nine-ring spells, which greatly increases her strength!

The other holy soul wizards were also very moved.

Dozens of imperial councilors present, most of them are legendary superhumans, including more than a dozen legendary wizards, looked at the seal ring of the elder one by one, with longing lights in their eyes, but they also knew that their chances of getting it were very slim , a great loss in my heart.

"His Majesty!"

Dean Margarita of the Elatusa Warlock Academy stood up. She was plump and charming, looked at the seal ring of the elders, and said softly: "There must be many elders in the Senate. Your Majesty, can you give each Does every senator provide a senator's seal ring?"

"No problem at all."

Ren raised his hand, and suddenly, a row of golden magic rings emerged, each ring was exactly the same, lined up in front of people's eyes.

The brilliance of the legendary magic item captivated everyone's eyes.

Quickly count, a total of twenty-five!

"These..." A legendary wizard almost jumped up, tremblingly said: "All of them are seal rings of elders, legendary!"

The holy soul wizards were also stunned by this generous gesture, and their breaths were all stagnant.

Twenty-five legendary magic rings, with a total value of about 125 million gold shields, are even more expensive than their floating city! What is even more astonishing is, how did Renn collect so many rare materials and mass-produce them into seal rings of the elders?

The members of the empire stared at these magic rings without blinking their eyes, breathing more and more heavily.

They realize one thing.

There were only a dozen holy soul wizards and archmages present, but there were twenty-five seal rings of the elders. Legendary transcendents can also enter the Senate!

I have a chance to get the seal ring of the elder!

The emperor's voice sounded again, echoing in the palace, shaking people's minds: "The number of seats in the Imperial Senate is fixed, a total of twenty-five people, regardless of strength, origin, age, gender and Race, all members of the Empire have the opportunity to enter the Senate."

"However, the elders of the empire are not tenured for life, and each term is twenty years."

"After the term of office ends, the Imperial Parliament will vote to elect a new session of twenty elders."

"The remaining five elders are appointed by the emperor."

"Having served as a veteran of the empire for five consecutive years, with outstanding performance and great contributions to the empire, you will have the opportunity to receive a Star Destroyer as a reward, in recognition of the contribution made by the veteran!"

Ren slowly expressed his idea.

The palace was quiet, but the atmosphere became extremely warm, as if it was about to burn.
