Takumi left with his fleet without any hesitation. When he comes back next time, he will bring soldiers to help Xiaobai.
Xiaobai's life calmed down without any disturbances.
Just a month after Takumi left, Xiaobai suddenly received a notice that Jikel summoned all the senior council members for an emergency meeting in the name of Lord Doro.
Looking at the animal skin paper on the table, it has exquisite patterns and desert characters written with special dyes.
This is a very formal notice, not a verbal order. In Doro City, such things are rare, especially since Jikel used his identity as the city lord to call an emergency meeting.
The emergency meeting had an unusual smell.
I am so new to the point that I don’t worry that Jikel is trying to deal with him. If he uses this method to deal with himself, it would be really ridiculous.
Over the past few months, Xiaobai has gradually figured out that it's not that Jikel doesn't want to deal with him, but that he has no evidence!
Jikel has no evidence to prove that Xiaobai threatened Doluo City. It is impossible to convict Xiaobai just because Xiaobai knows a few overseas people.
Thanks to Xiaobai becoming a high councilor in advance, if he was still an ordinary nobleman at this time, Jikel would certainly not be in such trouble. He could be killed for any reason without any evidence at all, and at the worst, he could be killed.
Go to jail.
Once in prison, it's a different world. If you think of a way, you can really kill Xiaobai in prison.
Xiaobai became a high council member, and Jikel certainly did not dare to do this, because Xiaobai's level was different, and he was no longer a simple nobleman.
There is a gap between the nobles and the great councilors, which divides them into two different classes.
In the eyes of ordinary people in Doluo City, there is no difference between the nobility, the congressmen, and the senior congressmen, and they cannot afford to offend them. But internally, the nobility and the senior congressmen are two completely different classes.
The great councilors are a small group of people who have stepped onto the top of the pyramid in Doro City, while the noble councilors are at the middle level of the pyramid.
The senior councilor and the city lord are not on good terms. After Xiaobai became the senior councilor, he was protected by this group and would not be easily killed by the city lord.
If Jikel wants to reach out to Xiaobai at will, he will be blocked by other high-ranking council members. This is a shame.
There are almost no good congressmen who are clean on the surface. They are bright and shiny on the surface, but secretly their hands are full of blood. No one has mentioned the secret yet. If you really want to convict the congressman, don’t think about it. Just kill him. There will definitely be no injustice. Just the congressman.
It's enough to die hundreds of times for what you've done.
Xiaobai just knew a few overseas people, which gave Jikel a sense of crisis and wanted to get rid of Xiaobai. Of course, this approach would not be approved by other senior congressmen.
If you want to convict Xiaobai, you must have ironclad evidence!
So this emergency meeting should have nothing to do with him, Xiaobai was very calm.
After putting away the animal skin paper, Xiaobai asked Dolfa to prepare the carriage and went happily.
The meeting location is still the Pyramid of the Eagle God, which is the safest place.
On the way to the Eagle God Pyramid, Xiaobai saw the beast carts of other high councilors. It seemed that all the high councilors should have been informed.
When they arrived at the pyramid, a deaf-mute servant naturally led them to the conference hall where the meeting was held.
The place where the meeting was held this time was a stone room, which was filled with various flowers and green plants. The flowers were in full bloom and exuding fragrance.
Xiaobai was one of the earlier ones. There were only three senior members of parliament there. Xiaobai didn't know them. He smiled and gestured, found a corner to sit down, and waited for the meeting to begin.
One famous congressman arrived one after another, and there were actually more than twenty and nearly thirty congressmen, nearly ten of whom Xiaobai had never seen before.
The great councilors that Xiaobai has never seen are all orthodox and old-fashioned great councilors. They are inherited from the family and share weal and woe with Duoluo City. They have been passed down from generation to generation. Their identities are more noble than ordinary great councilors and they belong to the deep-water predators.
That kind of.
They don't show up on weekdays, and they don't even attend meetings. They enjoy themselves in their own manor every day.
Don't look at it like this. Through the Gray Party's intelligence, Xiaobai knows that these guys are far from that simple. They are the controllers behind the scenes. Their inheritance for so many years has allowed them to have an extremely terrifying profit network in Doluo City.
This interest network goes deep into all levels of society, and they will be the first to know if there is any trouble in Doluo City.
Seeing these big congressmen appearing, Xiaobai became extremely curious about today's emergency meeting.
What on earth is going on that attracts these big congressmen who never show up?
The senior congressmen who do not show up on weekdays all have serious expressions, standing alone together and not talking to other senior congressmen.
For ordinary congressmen, these are all people who need to be currying favor with, especially since these people are likely to have mastered the content of this meeting.
Who doesn't want to know some inside information in advance, so they went up to talk to him.
It's a pity that people are not willing to pay attention to the ordinary congressmen, so they are in trouble.
Xiaobai didn't come forward. He was still hiding in the corner, acting like a transparent person. He didn't know what he was going to do today. We didn't dare to ask, and we didn't dare to say. Just listen.
After all the great councilors arrived, Lord Jikel arrived belatedly with the temple guards. However, looking at his hurried steps and serious look on his face, I'm afraid something big really happened.
The temple guards were scattered around the conference hall on guard, and Jikel and the high councilman took their seats.
This time, Jikel did not talk nonsense or exchange pleasantries at all, and went directly to the topic: "Recently, I received news that the Black Flame Demon has made a move, and the direction it is looking at is our Doro City."
The big councilors present were shocked when Jikel spoke a word.
Xiao Bai looked confused, what the hell is this Black Flame Demon?
The veteran congressmen did not do anything, they just sat aside with frowns and did not say a word. It was obvious that they already knew the news and were not panicked by the news.
Xiaobai looked around secretly, and even Como and Demora, who were not dealing with him, had panic on their faces.
A senior councilman stood up and asked urgently: "Sir City Lord, the Black Flame Demon has been silent for so many years, why did he suddenly appear?"
Jikel glanced at the senior councilman and said impatiently: "How do I know why the Black Flame Demons are moving at this time? Maybe they are full and want to digest their food."
The out-of-control congressman sat down awkwardly, knowing that he had asked a very stupid question.
Another high councilor stood up and asked: "Lord Jikel, is it possible for our Wall of Hope to block the Black Balrog's attack?"
Jikel shook his head with a dark expression and sighed.
