Chapter 413: The Princess Arrives
readx;
David personally went out to greet him. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info laid out the red carpet at the feet, and the honor guard of the Huwei army lined up for a long time, and then waited until Hebrew led a tall man to appear.
The man wore a cloak and held a blonde boy in his hand, and without any servant retinue with him, and walked calmly under the guard of the Hu guards, walking quite leisurely. The hat of his cloak covered his head, and he couldn't see the features at all, and it was Elder Bruch who had met outside the test site last time for the arrest of Monique.
Elder Bruch and David obviously knew each other, they didn't pay special attention to etiquette, they were very casual with each other, they didn't even shake hands, and it seemed that they were still old acquaintances. Elder Bruch fiddled with the cloak casually, Gu Hanhan thought he was going to lift his hat, and couldn't help but hold his breath, but it turned out that he didn't, just a strand of blonde hair inadvertently floated outside the cloak, and he stuffed it back again.
Elder Bruch buried himself deep in his cloak and his name, still looking like an old man who was not ashamed to rap, and his consciousness and reserve as an old monster could not be seen at all, and as soon as they met, he first praised David from head to toe-
"Look, David, you're pretty again, you're so handsome. If I had known that you would be where you are when you grew up, I should have said yes when Crassus approached me and asked me to be your teacher with him. It's a sad thing that you're so good now that you have nothing to do with me......"
David was so praised that he had nothing to say but silence. Gu Hanhan was frightened by this inexplicable old monster, so he consciously hid behind David and didn't dare to show his head. However, the old monster seemed to roll his eyes, and immediately recognized Gu Hanhan: "Look, who is this?"
"Miss Youfa Buyi, hello wow. Bruch suddenly became energetic, and his flower-like tone became even more old, "Last time I invited you to play at the inquisition, why haven't you come for so many days?"
Gu Hanhan only felt creepy, and he was about to cry: "In a hellish place like the Temple Inquisition, who would run to play if there is a problem? And there is an old monster like you in it!
David seemed to sense that the flames of war were spreading to Gu Hanhan's head, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.
"Come in, Elder," he said, "and be ashamed. Because of some ridiculous and generous things in the family, I have to invite you over at times like Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
"Well, I've heard from Heber. Even you were injured, which is really too unspeakable to be punished severely. ”
Elder Bruch's tone was much more serious, but it was still strangely improper. He asked, "How's the injury?" It doesn't look light, you seem to vomit three liters of blood—Miss Youfa Buyi's charm is really great." ”
Gu Hanhan was cold and was called out again, and his scalp suddenly jumped with nervousness. David remained silent and said casually: "I can't die by luck." ”
As they spoke, they walked into the assembly hall.
The hall, which doubled as a meeting room, had apparently been reorganized, and all the extravagant and useless decorations had been removed, except for a golden chair. Two flags hung behind the seats, one fiery red and the other pitch black, both with golden thorn thorn patterns on the edges. One banner bears the Temple Crown of Thorns, and the other has David's coat of arms. With these two flags as the center, there are also forty-seven flags with insignia hanging down like swallow wings on both sides, which are the family crests of all David's vassal families.
The guards who served as guards in the room had all been replaced by seventh-level superpowers, and from the golden seats all the way to the door, they were wearing the military uniforms of high-ranking officers of the Hu Guards, wearing swords, and solemnly standing as if they were standing in a tomb. The energy fields in the air are staggered, and the oppression is everywhere, almost crushing the human heart.
The horror in the vassals' expressions had not completely faded, and the horror and palpitations left on their faces, pale and gloomy, like ospreys choked by the throat, curled up with their heads and neck wings locked in cages, shrunk behind the guard array. The old gentlemen who were about to be expelled from the family were still kneeling on the ground, stunned and muttering, but reunification was a panic of the end of the world. The guards watched over them in case anything suddenly happened.
As David and Bruch walked in, Heller looked up, his eyes fixed on the door behind them. Yet there was nothing but the heavy gates, which slowly closed like guillotine guillotines. He closed his eyes and felt like he was crumbling.
Brick was the first to break away from that stunned and helpless state, and as David passed by, he threw himself like crazy. He climbed a few steps to David, kissed his feet desperately, gasped, trembling and pleading: "Forgive us, master, merciful master, be merciful, forgive us." Punish us, let us be tortured to death, if only our sins may be lightened a little, if only you can be a little happy. We are your lowly slaves, please have mercy so that we can continue to serve you, and let us be your slaves forever, whether we live or die. ”
Brick's wit evidently gave his companions a good example, and they all immediately prostrated themselves on David's feet, and begged him desperately, "Let us die, master, let us die!"
This is simply a smell of sadness, and those who see it cry, and their hearts are also moved. However, David was unmoved, his heart seemed harder than stone, and he obviously did not intend to show any mercy.
With a cry of despair, Brick straightened up and drew a dagger, ripped open his shirt, threw his head back, and stabbed himself in the heart. Blood splattered out, and it was terrifying. Gu Hanhan hid behind David and screamed, and Hu Wei had already stepped up and kicked Brick's hand away - fortunately, the stab was not deep, and the wound was only half an inch, which was not fatal.
"Please don't do that again, Lord Brick. David looked at the dagger that had fallen to the ground, it was a good knife, and the quality of Mithril and Norkin was probably only available to the nobles of the Acropolis. He said: "Even if there are no thorn branches, after all, it is a hundred-year-old family, so you should leave some dignity for the surname 'Brick'." ”
The guards stepped forward to drag Brick and his companions away, and searched them as they were—they didn't have to be subjected to such humiliating treatment. However, due to the suicide incident that had just occurred, in order to ensure that the expulsion ceremony could be completed smoothly, the guards only searched them as if they were low-level vassals, and locked them with energy fields to prevent them from committing suicide by other means.
Their desperate struggle is hysteria after despair, and hysteria is followed by even more desperate collapse and numbness. Gu Hanhan even heard a low sob, not knowing if it was from the people who were about to be expelled or the other vassals who were witnessing those who were about to be expelled. The air pressure was so low that it was frightening, Gu Hanhan had never felt such a gloomy cloud, she almost wanted to run away.
Bruch looked at the nobles who had been invincible but were now struck down by despair, and sighed softly.
"Sure enough, when people get old, their hearts will become soft. He said, "David, I will intercede for them." Although rebellion is unforgivable, expelling a dozen families at once is indeed too cruel and not good for your reputation. Expel the first evil, and let the others repent. The punishment of the gods of the universe is not unpayable for their sins. ”
David shook his head: "I've already decided, Elder Bruch, you don't have to say it anymore. Please come here to pick up the chips. ”
"Alright, well, I don't mean to dictate to your family......" Elder Bruch shut.
So David said to Heber, "Begin." ”
David stood in front of the golden seat, and the guards dragged Heller-Heidi over in order—the patriarch of the Heller family was completely limp, and could collapse as soon as he let go. He couldn't stand on his own at all, let alone walk, so he had to be dragged by the guards, who held him hostage from left to right, and forced him to stand firm.
Hebrew, the chief attendant, took out David's original secret book with his own hands, and David put it on his fingers. The secret book grew brighter and brighter, emitting a dazzling pink light, and a huge emblem condensed in midair. The emblem is incomparably magnificent, a pattern of countless flowers, leaf veins, vines, and thorn branches, with a complexity of up to six.
Hu Wei grabbed Heller's wrist and pressed the palm of his right hand with the patriarch's secret book on the golden compass, and a trace of energy attracted echoed in the space, between David and Heller's secret book. David drew his sword and slashed it down. As if mapping, the emblem in mid-air suddenly shrank to the center, overturning the paint plate, forming a colorful swirl of light, and then the swirl of light slowly unfolded, recondensed into the emblem, and a thorny branch was missing from the pattern.
At the same time, Elder Bruch also sent out an energy field to cover Heller, and one of the energy waves made a shallow hole in the back of Heller's neck like a drill, and Bruch took a step forward, and with a slight hook of his fingers, the biochip the size of a grain of rice was dragged out along with hundreds of slender filamentous threads that could not be detected by the naked eye.
Hu Wei let go of his wrist, and Heller let out a terrible scream, and fell to the ground, spasming in pain. Bruch casually threw the blood-stained into the chip and took the handkerchief handed by the servant.
The other vassals who were watching all of this shrank their necks as if the chip had been pulled out of their bodies, and David's sword cut off not the Heidi family's secret but their own. They all looked up at the emblem in mid-air, and then they all lowered their heads in horror - after today's expulsion was completed, the complexity of the emblem would drop from six to four. More than one-twentieth of the great nobles in the superpower world will disappear.
"Next. Hebrew said with a blank face, "House Brick." ”
The guards dragged Wisson-Brick over as they were, and Heller was still curled up on the ground shivering, and David's guards were now unable to reach for him, and turned to find his servant.
At this moment, the door was slammed open from the outside, and Helena burst in like a gust of wind.
She was wearing ten-inch high heels, her hair was simply combed into a bud-shaped bun, and her coat was still on her body, as if she was in a hurry to go out. She rushed to Heller's side in one breath and stopped in amazement.
"Daddy!" she let out a scream as she looked down at Heller, who was shivering with pain on the ground.
Turning her head to look at the floating chips in the clear bottle, Helena looked up at Bruch and glared angrily.
"Put it back!" she cried out angrily, her eyes almost bursting with fire.
Bruch was forced by Helena to take a step back and spread his hands, "It's none of my business. ”
