Chapter 262: The Clock Tower Meeting
The next day, Ermelo II left London on time for the city of Winterwood in the Far East. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He didn't go to Ermelo after leaving the Templar Church, which was one of the reasons why he had been living outside, so that it would be easier for him to leave.
As for Leenys, Ermelo II was afraid that after seeing her, he would have a stomachache and would not even be able to take the plane the next day, so he forgot it.
Just two days after Ermelo II left London, a meeting of monarchs was held at the Tower of Clocks.
A total of thirteen directors of the Twelve Outdoor Departments gathered in the conference hall on the top floor of the Clock Tower, but due to the departure of Ermelo II, the Sovereign of the Modern Magic Section was represented by Leenys.
Originally, the monarchs should have been discussing how to deal with the Templar Church at this time, but at this time, no one spoke in the empty meeting hall, because they knew that they were not here today to discuss the affairs of the Templar Church.
The kings were gathered here by letters, which were handed over to the monarchs by hand, and the letters were written about the matters that the monarchs had invited to come and discuss, and what the monarchs cared about the most was the signature at the end of the letters.
Keshua Zelrich Hubein Ogu.
Originally, this kind of thing should have been notified by Lolaia, who was the assistant of the dean, but I don't know why, this time it suddenly became the invitation of the jeweler, and the only thing that is certain is that something unusual is going to happen.
In the center of the chamber sat six monarchs, the monarch and the monarch's agent, to be exact, with Barsmero Lorea at one end of the table and the jewel on the other side: Zelrich.
This old man, who doesn't know how long he has lived, still looks in good spirits, the black cloak on his body can't hide his muscular body, although his hair is gray, and his beard is also white, but it doesn't give people a feeling of old age, and what he wants to say should be old and strong, making it difficult to despise his existence.
In fact, if people who knew about his existence would not treat him as an ordinary old man, at least before the sovereigns here were born, he already existed, and no one knows how old he is this year, all that is known is that he seems to have always maintained this appearance.
Perhaps this has something to do with his vampire-like red pupils.
"Gentlemen!" the organizer of the meeting spoke, and as soon as he spoke, it was a deep male voice, giving people a very calm feeling, which showed that Zelrich was definitely not a simple old man.
"Where is the sovereign Ermelo II, who is not here now?, I think you must have some idea in your hearts?" said Zelrich very directly.
To this, no one responded, the monarchs just looked at each other and made eye contact.
As for Leenys, she slowly picked up the teacup and drank the black tea, and Marysbilly, who was sitting opposite her, cast a look, but was completely ignored by Leenys.
"Our 'good' monarch has already traveled to the Far East to dismantle the Great Holy Grail with the idea of solving the remaining problems, and I have to say that he is very stupid in doing so. On the word "excellent", Zelrich deliberately accentuated the tone, but I don't know whether he said that Ermelo II's magic level was "excellent", or that he was referring to his excellent teaching ability.
"What do you think about that?" said the opening remarks, Zelrich leaned back in his chair, waiting for the monarchs to speak.
"Your Excellency Chessia, I think that this action of the Monarch Ermelo II is tantamount to a betrayal of the Magic Society, whose purpose is to develop magic, and his actions will only suppress the magic that should have progressed, and we should immediately send men to the Far East to stop his foolishness. ”
The one who spoke was the Ore Monarch who sat second on the left: Mel Astia.
Speaking of which, this one is also a person who has a deep relationship with Ermelo II.
The ore department he is in charge of now was originally in charge of the former head of the Ermelo family, Kenneth, but it was only because of Kenneth's death in the Fourth Holy Grail War in the Far East that Mel Astia took the opportunity to take the position.
And when it comes to the Ore Section, its name is Kishur, which is the name of the Jewel Clan, so it is clear that Mel Astia is completely on the side of Zelrich.
However, for the monarch who leaned towards him, Zelrich unceremoniously slapped him in the face.
"Does that have anything to do with that? I mean the fact that the monarch prides himself on righteousness to dismantle the Great Holy Grail, and to this day, the fellows who claim to be righteous are nine times out of ten dead, and I think it is necessary to bring him back from the Far East in order to prevent the Tower from losing another monarch. ”
Zelridge pointed out another set of problems, and this set of theories sounded a bit nonsense, after all, the clock tower only did something to maintain the mystery of magic, not for morality or benevolence, and acted with Zelrich's thoughts, somewhat out of the common sense of magicians.
The monarch is gone, and he thinks it is, and he is the one who is useless except teaching, it can be said that most of the monarch's malice towards Ermelo II comes from his poor magic strength, as a monarch but does not meet the level of monarchy, it is really a bit insulting to the name of the monarch, no matter how great the lecturer is, his own magic strength is not good, it is also in vain.
Although it has to be admitted that if the students of Ermelo II gathered, it was a powerful force that had the potential to subvert the clock tower, and because of this, while despising his low level of magic, the monarchs did not dare to do anything too much against him.
"Since you know he's going to do that kind of thing, why didn't you stop him sooner, is there something else to hide from us, master?" said Marisbilly, leaning back in his chair, saying slowly, he didn't speak for Ermelo II at this time, which would definitely reveal something.
It's just that in this way, why Basemelo didn't act before Ermelo II left, it's very questionable, it can only be said that they must have something they want in the Far East, no matter what it is, as long as they attack on this point, it should still be able to buy some time for II.
And Marysbilly is not afraid of Zelrich, after all, he is just an old man with a strange temper, and he will not start beating people as soon as he is questioned, even if he really fights, Marysbilly also has the strength worthy of the name of the monarch.
Instead of getting angry, Zelrich looked at Marysbilly with a smile on his face.
"Head of the Animsfia family, who did you meet with in the study three nights ago?"
"What are you talking about, does it matter who I'm meeting with?" said Marysbilly, pretending to be calm, but he already sensed something was wrong.
"Also, not once, for several days in a row, even if you want to hide this, you can't hide it. ”
Marysbilly fell silent, then looked at Loraiya on the other side of the table.
Zelrich is probably not the kind of person who will gather information on his own, and he has only recently returned to London, so the only person who has the closest relationship with him is Lolaia.
In fact, Marisbilly's judgment was correct at first, and Loraiya was indeed going to deal with Ermelo II, and Loraia found the master, which is incorrect, it should be said that Zelrich returned to London and asked Barsermelo to assist him.
That's why the person who convened today's meeting was not Loraiya but Zelrich, everything was done by this old man behind the scenes, and as for Loraiya, he was just providing the information he needed.
In fact, the secret correspondence between Marisbilly and Ermelo II has long been known to the Barsermelo family, after all, it is an ancient family that has been inherited for more than 2,000 years and has a strong background in London.
"Don't you refute it?" Zelrich asked, looking at Marysbilly's speechlessness.
Maris Billy could only say nothing, and if he continued to say this, Zelrich would definitely expose the relationship between him and the second, and maybe add fuel to the fire, and it was better not to let the other monarchs know about this kind of thing.
"What about the others?
There is no monarch to speak, it is better to say that the other monarchs don't care about this matter at all, they are more concerned about the coordination with the Templar Church, as for the fact that Ermelo II wants to go to the Far East to dismantle the Great Holy Grail, most of the time the Great Holy Grail has nothing to do with them, so it's fine.
However, from a magician's point of view, if Ermelo II really dismantled the Great Holy Grail, there would be one less mysterious existence to use as research material for magic.
Therefore, the final result of the discussion of the sovereign council was to send people to the Far East to stop the actions of Ermelo II.
"Then, I propose that the head of the Animsfia family go to the Far East to stop the folly of the monarch Ermelo II. ”
"Huh?" "Marysbilly looked puzzled, shouldn't this kind of thing be done with a few seal-designated agents?Why does the monarch need to act?
"Don't worry, I'll help you with this. "Listening to Zelrich, it seems that he is also going to the Far East.
"That's not the problem, is it? With the magic level of Monarch Ermelo II, it's enough for me to deal with him alone. This statement is very true. "But I, as the sovereign of the celestial sciences, have not had enough time to travel to the Far East. ”
"That's no problem, I'm sure the monarchs who stayed in the Tower will definitely help you take care of these things, after all, we are all 'partners'. Zelrich laughed.
Marysbilly wondered if he had a broken ear, and that there was a magician who would call him a partner or something, or between himself and the monarchs, but seeing Zelridge's sharp eyes, it seemed that he would not give up if he didn't agree at this time, and maybe something else would break out, which was not what Marysbilly wanted to see.
"You're the one responsible, aren't you?" said Zelridge, as if to remind Marysbilly that he had a lot of other information in his hands, which forced Marysbilly to accept the decision.
