Chapter 669 Parliament
"So, you guys have many leaders as well?" Rain asked. "The magic people and the beast people live like that as well, so I am not that surprised."
Van looked like he had to ask some questions... he knew how things worked with the magic people, but he wasn't sure about human territory. Still, he decided to stay quiet since he was working, and looking too friendly with Rain would make him look suspicious.
"We call them elders, but they don't have to be particularly old to become one of the leaders of this country," Isa explained. "They just had to be prominent in one field or the other and affect positively a lot of people, and then they can receive the votes of the population to become part of the parliament."
Parliament... Rain didn't expect to hear that word there. He couldn't help but think that a human from Earth was reincarnated as a demi-human and created that. In theory, it was a good way to govern a land. Isa explained that the election was something that happened every five years, and those in power would use their influence and money to keep their positions in the Parliament.

"Introduce yourself, human, for you are in front of the Parliament of the demi-humans. We don't let other species enter our territory, much less talk with us directly. Unless you have a good reason to be here, we will treat your arrival as a declaration of war."
That guy who talked looked a bit weird... he was a half-beast person, but he had the ears and the eyes of an owl... Rain was pretty sure that such a variation wasn't supposed to exist in the beast people's territory.
"My name is Rain, and I just came to visit my friend, Isa," Rain said. "That is all."
Silence took over the room... it seemed that Rain's words confused them. Maybe they were expecting a long speech from Rain that would try to convince them to become allies with humans thanks to their technology and the fact that they repelled dragons. The fact that Rain had dragon bone weapons with him proved that he was fighting dragons, after all.
"... We advise you not to lie," The owl man said.
"I am not lying, and I just came to consult with someone that is more knowledgeable about the world compared to all the people that I know," Rain said. "I want to return home today, I left my wives and kids waiting for me, and they will scold me if I don't keep my word."
"... Why did you bring those weapons if you only came to consult her?" An old man who had his eyes closed asked.
"... I can't exactly make her answer all my questions without giving anything in return, so I was planning to give her those since I don't have anything that she might want," Rain hesitated once he realized that the old man had an aura similar to Artisia.
Rain was surprised... he didn't think that a demi-human could have the same ability as Artisia, but maybe it was just a mutation since that tends to happen with them... either way, he had to be careful around those guys.
