Magic Industry Empire - 481. Chapter 481 Noble Council

Returning to Anvimar City this time, Xu Yi is of course not just passing by. In fact, when he was still in Sever City, he was summoned by the Kingdom’s Noble Council and asked him to participate in an aristocratic council in Anweimar City. , To comment on his aristocratic status.

To be eligible to participate in the noble council is both good news and bad news for Xu Yi.

The good news is that the theme of the noble council requesting a nobleman to participate in the noble council is to assess the aristocratic qualifications of this nobleman, and the reason for the assessment is generally to promote the nobleman when the title is about to be promoted. Things to do.

In other words, as long as Xu Yi gets a good evaluation in this evaluation, his title is likely to be promoted after this evaluation.

He is now a viscount of the kingdom, and in less than two years, he has the opportunity to rise to a level and become an earl, which is one of the few in the entire kingdom of Lampari.

Moreover, he was promoted from a civilian status to a nobleman, but he was able to be promoted again in such a short period of time, and it was even more rare on the basis of no military merits.

The bad news is…In this evaluation, Xu Yi’s evaluation is probably a negative one, rather than a positive evaluation that can promote his rank.

In the final analysis, it is almost impossible for Xu Yi, the original civilian, to continuously promote his rank in such a short period of time.

So when he was still in Sever City, Earl Summer insisted that this time the Noble Council summoned Xu Yi to join the Noble Council, which was probably uneasy and kind.

When they came to Anvilmar City and saw Viscount Leslie and Baron Haynes, both of them agreed with Earl Summer’s judgment.

This time, the aristocratic council directed at Xu Yi, I am afraid that the visitors were not kind.

So early the next morning, when Xu Yi came to the gate of the noble parliament that was extremely magnificent from the outside, he sighed involuntarily when he looked at the golden characters “Lampari Kingdom Noble Council” on it. Tone.

He just created and developed the magic industry system with peace of mind. Why do people always want to trouble him for various reasons?

After reporting his name, Xu Yi was soon introduced into the House of Parliament by the guard at the gate of the Noble House, and then waited patiently in a small reception hall.

After a while, a young man in his thirties and wearing a purple robe of a parliament member walked in.

When he saw Xu Yi, he immediately smiled cordially and stretched out his hands.

“Viscount Xu, I’ve heard your name a long time ago, and I have the opportunity to see it today. It’s a great honor for me.”

Xu Yi reached out and shook hands with him, smiled and said: “You are so polite, may I ask if you are…”

“Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Thrall Lim. I am now a Viscount, just like you.”

“Viscount Lim, I am honored to meet you too. Are you a member of the parliament? When will the council begin?”

Viscount Lim laughed: “You really deserve to be a businessman who values time very much, Viscount Xu, but the council needs a while to prepare, so I will give you a notice in advance. By the way…it can be considered as telling you about the council. The content. Viscount Xu, you haven’t participated in the noble council before, have you?”

“Yes.” Xu Yi nodded.

Whether he was promoted to a baron or later to a viscount, he was directly conferred by His Majesty the King, and he has not participated in any noble council.

Because in accordance with the relevant regulations of the Noble Council, His Majesty the King has the right to directly promote the titles under the earls without the Noble Council appraising it for re-approval.

It’s just that His Majesty the King seldom uses this right, because if the Council of Nobles disagrees and questions this, it will have a considerable impact on His Majesty’s prestige, so His Majesty seldom uses this right to promote a nobleman. , Let alone use this right on the same person twice in a row.

Of course, generally speaking, there is no aristocratic council and will not really question His Majesty’s use of this right.

And Xu Yi is now a viscount. Not only does he want to promote his title, but the aristocratic council needs to assess his aristocratic qualifications, and he can call the aristocratic council to assess him.

“Then I will tell you some of the process of the council in advance. Viscount Xu, you don’t actually need to do anything on the council for a while, you only need to answer questions based on the questions asked by the councilors.” Viscount Lim smiled. “Of course, the answer must be honest. Otherwise, once you are judged by the parliamentarians as not honest enough, it will greatly affect your evaluation.”

Xu Yi frowned slightly, thinking that only those legislators could ask questions, but he could only answer questions. Isn’t it the same as interrogation?

“Generally speaking, every member of the council is likely to ask you questions, and the types of questions raised may also involve many aspects. I hope that Viscount Xu will be mentally prepared.”

Xu Yi thought for a while, nodded, and did not raise any doubts in his heart.

Now that I have come here, there is nothing to consider in particular.

The Council of Nobility is different from the Council of the Kingdom. At most, he can only play tricks on his aristocratic status, and he does not pay much attention to the highly valued aristocratic status that countless people in this kingdom dream of. Naturally, there is no pressure.

Viscount Lim seemed to be a little surprised by Xu Yi’s calm performance. He glanced at him in a slightly surprised manner, but didn’t say much. After chatting with Xu Yi for a few more words, he led him out of the reception room. A side hall of the House of Parliament walked.

On the road, I met many staff members in the House of Noble Parliament. Seeing that Viscount Lim and Xu Yi came together, they looked at Xu Yi with curious eyes.

It seems that they should all know that today the Noble Council will judge Xu Yi.

And the nobility of the kingdom like Xu Yi, who combined the identity of nobleman and merchant, is indeed very rare.

Coupled with the current reputation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari, it is not surprising that most people are curious about Xu Yi.

After stepping into the side hall, I found that it was a circular space with two rows of seats around it, and there was a space at the center of the circle. No chairs were placed, just a small fence.

Seeing this arrangement, Xu Yi couldn’t help but frown slightly, even more unhappy in his heart.

This appearance is really exactly the same as interrogating the prisoner.

Xu Yi never believed that every meeting hall in the Noble Council was set up in this way, and his first participation in the Noble Council was assigned here, and the other party’s intentions are self-evident.

Thinking of the judgments of Earl Summer, Viscount Leslie, and Baron Haynes, Xu Yi snorted in his heart and raised his head to look at the councillors who were sitting on high chairs around him.

This side hall is not too big. The two rows of seats around only have about fifty seats. Now these seats are not full, but there are less than twenty members wearing purple robes. , It looks a bit empty.

While Xu Yi is looking at these members, the members are also looking at Xu Yi.

Obviously, they are also a little curious about Xu Yi.

After the two sides looked at each other for a while, an old congressman who was at least 60 years old from the outside, sitting in the front row in the north, gave a light cough and said loudly: “Since Viscount Xu Yi has arrived, let’s start the council.”

After that, he glanced at Xu Yi and asked with a serious face: “Viscount Xu Yi, do you know why this council asked you to join the council?”

Xu Yi shook his head: “No one has told me why.”

“Um… well, I’ll tell you now. The reason why you are asked to join the council is that the council has received many reports that you, as a nobleman of the kingdom, have made a lot of things that do not conform to the status of a nobleman of the kingdom. Actions. In order to find out the truth, the council asks you to come to the council for deliberation. If you do make those actions, then the council will give you corresponding assessments and punishments.”

“Oh, just talk about punishment?” Xu Yi sneered in his heart.

This veteran congressman gave the council the character as soon as he came up, and it is really unsurprisingly unkind to come.

Seeing Xu Yi’s silence, the Count of Barcelona, who has been sixty-three years old this year and has served as the vice-president of the Noble Council of the Kingdom of Lampari for more than 20 years, felt a little unhappy. The first question. Do you have another identity, the president of the Bangta City New Flying Chamber of Commerce?”

Xu Yi nodded: “Yes.”

“Do you own most of the shares in this new flying business association and control it?”

“Yes.”

“As the president of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, will you also participate in the commercial activities of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?”

“Yes.”

“Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gains most of the profits from doing business, do you also get most of it.”

“This statement is not accurate. Most of the income obtained by the New Flying Business Association is used for continuous investment. In fact, I don’t get much privately.”

“You just need to answer, have you benefited from the income gained by the New Flying Business Association?”

Xu Yi sneered slightly and nodded again: “Yes.”

“Then Viscount Xu Yi, did you know that the Kingdom Council of Nobles had relevant regulations on the Kingdom’s nobles, that as a Kingdom’s nobles, they are not allowed to engage in business?”

“knowledge.”

“Then why do you choose to do business?” The Earl of Barcelona suddenly patted the table in front of him, his expression suddenly sharpened. “Do you know that you not only violated the rules of the Kingdom Council, but also lost the face of all the nobles in the kingdom?”

Xu Yi glanced at him amusedly: “It’s right to violate the rules of the Kingdom Council, but when it comes to losing the face of all the nobles in the kingdom… Isn’t this too exaggerated?”

“No sophistry!” The Earl of Barcelona glared, “Viscount Xu Yi, in view of your deliberate violation of the relevant regulations of the Royal Council of the Kingdom and your bad attitude, the Council has now made the following decision to deprive Viscount Xu Yi of his noble status and demote him to a commoner! ”
