I'm in Star Iron, and I draw power from the Inner World every week.

Chapter 39 White Calamity, Why Can Birds Fly?

The two sides reached a stalemate.

In the end, it was 'Kevin' who took the first few steps closer.

He asked Su Yang:

"Friend, have you mistaken me for someone else?"

“I’m not mistaken, you are Kevin.” Su Yang looked the sunny young man up and down again, and became even more certain of his thoughts.

"Then it seems you've really mistaken me for someone else. My name is Bai Er, and I come from Ailimishe. Unfortunately, I am not the Kevin you know."

At this moment, Xia Die also stepped forward:

"Lord Bai'e, this is Su Yang. You seem to have mentioned wanting to meet him before?"

"Oh! It's actually Su Yang, the Death Knight from the Romantic Path!" Bai E's eyes lit up.

“…”

This was the first time Su Yang had felt awkward being called by this title, even though he found it quite pleasant when Tian called him that.

"Su Yang, let's not talk about you mistaking me for someone else. Anyway, I'm very happy to see you, and thanks to you, I'm having a very fulfilling and enjoyable time every day!"

"I don't remember ever helping you with anything," Su Yang said, frowning slightly.

"You're mistaken. You've already done me a huge favor without even realizing it! Don't you agree, savior?" Bai E patted Su Yang on the shoulder.

"?"

"Thanks to you, Aglaia no longer puts pressure on me or orders me to do all sorts of troublesome things. I am very free now!"

"Oh, so you're saying you were the original savior?"

"I can't accept that title, especially since you've appeared. There are so many interesting stories about you circulating, and I admire you a lot... Even so, I will still work hard as a reserve."

"You really are Kevin."

"...Why are we back to talking about identity again? Friend, I think I've already said it, my name is Bai E."

“Okay, then you can be called Bai E.” Su Yang agreed.

"I'm glad you remember my name. I presume this dignified lady is the sister you've heard about?" Bai E looked at Huang Quan, who was standing next to Su Yang.

He had heard some things about Su Yang's frail older sister.

"Yes, my name is Huang Quan. I am Su Yang's older sister, and I am also a very delicate ordinary person." Huang Quan introduced herself without any difficulty.

Although Huang Quan was stunned when she first saw Bai E, her reaction was limited to that and she did not show any further abnormality.

"It's nice to meet you... Well, I assume everyone here is looking for Aglaia to head to the upcoming Citizens' Assembly?"

"Wait a minute," Su Yang interrupted Bai E's enthusiastic words.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Bai'er, do you still dream? Dream about those who died because of you?" Su Yang asked seriously.

"...I'm not an executioner, but as for dreams, I haven't had one in a long time, or maybe I've forgotten how."

"Bai'er, then in your opinion, why do birds...?"

Before Su Yang could finish speaking, Huang Quan tapped him on the head.

"My dear brother, please don't say too many random things to friends you've just met, it will make them have a bad impression of you."

Huang Quan's tone was somewhat helpless, just like a good older sister educating her younger brother.

"Oh, I admit it was a bit offensive, I'm sorry." Su Yang immediately suppressed his excitement.

He wanted to see if this 'Kevin' tasted right, but this behavior was indeed quite impolite to Bai Er himself.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. If I had to say, Su Yang, you are someone I admire more. I should be the one who is flattered."

"Worship me?"

"You can perform miraculous healing, bravely defeat enemies, and more importantly, selflessly help ordinary people in their lives. Your character is worthy of our emulation, and of course I admire you."

"Okay." Su Yang's lips twitched slightly.

He felt a little uncomfortable being praised so much by Bai Er, who had Kevin's face.

At this moment, a few golden threads appeared.

Aglaia, stepping lightly on golden silk, leaped gracefully towards the crowd from afar.

"Everyone, now that everyone is here, let's set off."

.....

Dawn on the Cloud Cliff.

This place brings you closer to the towering Titan, and most of the Senate's clerks work here.

Further along the secret path, you will arrive at a huge floating platform, which is the so-called Demigods' Council.

Countless important meetings have been held here, and many important decisions have been made for Ohmma.

The citizens' assembly was held here.

...A mysterious-looking AI was in charge of entertaining Su Yang and his group.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Laigus, a citizen of Ohma from Antikythera, an honorary senator of the Senate, and a [divine audience] of the Citizens' Assembly."

"..." Su Yang remained silent, but instead wanted to step forward and kick the guy.

These are the guys from the Senate.

Many of the unpleasant things between Aglaia and Tibo were because of these guys.

Although he knew there might be some good guys in the Senate, he still had a preconceived notion that he had a bad impression of them.

Seemingly sensing Su Yang's dissatisfaction, Lai Gushi added again:

"I am only here on behalf of the Senate to invite you to the Citizens' Assembly. I have no intention of being at odds with you. I will preside over the Citizens' Assembly impartially."

"...Su Yang, Lord Lai Gushi's impartiality can still be trusted," Aglaia added.

“Okay.” Su Yang’s attitude toward Lai Gushi softened.

aside.

Huang Quan's gaze met that of Lai Gu Shi.

“…”

“…”

Huang Quan's aura remained completely concealed, yet her eagle-like, sharp gaze seemed to hold a terrifying abyss, from which one could easily fall if not careful.

No one noticed that the two men's eyes met, and at that instant, Lai Gushi also took a half step back and politely bowed to the crowd:

"Many citizens have already gathered here. Please set off immediately. I will guide you."

His emotionless voice seemed to ripple, but it wasn't a big problem.

After finishing his explanation, Lai Gushi began to lead the way.

Su Yang lowered his head slightly and looked at his crotch.

He quickly established a face-to-face private conversation with Aglaia through his crotch.

“Aglaia, is this guy really alright? I have a feeling he’s the culprit.”

Su Yang had a bad impression of Lai Gushi, not only because he worked in the Senate, but also because this AI was very out of place.

If Su Yang were to guess who was behind this, he would definitely vote for this guy.

"...Rest assured, Lord Legus has always maintained neutrality in all matters. The person we are dealing with today is Katniss, an unpleasant old woman."

Aglaia didn't even complain about Su Yang using his crotch to establish a connection with her anymore.

"I see." Su Yang then temporarily put aside his doubts.

"However, there's something I think you need to know."

"uh-huh?"

"The old woman you helped earlier, her son who had been missing for so long, has returned to Ohma."

"That's a good thing, but why bring this up all of a sudden?"

"His situation is somewhat delicate, and he is with the people of the Senate."

"...?"

Chapter 40 ultimately came down two moves short.

The holding of a citizens' assembly will naturally involve the participation of many people.

When Su Yang and his group appeared in the theater-like setting, the room was already full of people.

But soon, the crowd erupted in commotion.

"Look, Lady Aglaia is here!"

"Oh my! That's the Death Knight from the Romantic Path!"

"Screw you, he's a romantic knight on the path to death."

The issue of Su Yang's title even sparked a small discussion.

However, Su Yang didn't have time to worry about the title right now.

He fixed his gaze entirely on the white-haired old woman who was already waiting in the center not far away.

"This must be our first meeting, Lady Death Knight," Katniss said with a half-smile.

Her gaze was like that of a venomous snake, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

"I really hope this is the last time." Su Yang forced a emotionless, fake smile.

"Heh, I sincerely advise the Death Knight to stay away from that witch. You've been used by her." Katniss sneered.

"Where is the enchantress?" Su Yang looked around but couldn't find anyone who met the criteria.

Katniss herself is probably the most suitable candidate.

“Lady Katniss, Su Yang describes me as a ‘goddess,’ but to him, ‘enchantress’ is probably more like your self-introduction,” Aglaia retorted with a smile.

Their words and actions were so well coordinated that they successfully changed Katniss's expression.

The wicked old witch glared menacingly at Aglaia:

“Aglaia! Do you really intend to overstep the Senate? Considering that you have indeed done things for Ohma over the years, I originally did not want to hold it against you too much.”

“It is not an overstepping of authority, Lady Katniss. We are now in the midst of the Citizens' Assembly, and shouldn’t everything be decided by the citizens?”

“But you have seriously violated the rules! Any matter that has not been discussed and decided by the ‘Council’ cannot be discussed in the Citizens’ Assembly. You only managed to hold the assembly by spreading rumors and inciting the masses.”

“Lady Katniss, the rules you mentioned are all standard procedures. I want to convene a citizens' assembly because of an emergency, and Lord Legus has agreed to hold this meeting, hasn’t he?”

"you..."

Finally, Aglaia glanced at Laigus, who nodded slightly, amplifying his voice throughout the arena:

"Both sides are ready, so I hereby declare the Citizens' Assembly officially open. The agenda for this assembly is... to formally abolish the assassin organization [The Cleansers] under the Senate, and to remove the current Senate member, Katniss."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Whether it's about the Assassin's Creed's purge or the removal of elders, these are explosive developments that have never occurred before at the Citizens' Assembly.

Aglaia was the first to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I actually didn't want to bring up the topic of 'the Cleaners' in this setting, because those rats in the shadows are not fit for public discussion..."

Aglaia had never given such a passionate speech at a citizens' assembly before, so most of the audience listened attentively.

"But! These sinister rats have actually set their sights on Su Yang... who you call the 'Romantic Knight of the Death Path'!"

“I could have just gotten rid of the rats myself, but these guys were all the work of the Senate, and Senator Katniss was not only the culprit, but she herself was also a former Purger!”

"These guys aren't thinking about the Holy City; they're just trying to prevent any variables from affecting the stability of their power!"

Aglaia dropped several bombshells.
