Chapter 486: The Declining Aristocracy (Part II)
"You say Edmund deceived the Council of Elders? Didn't he know the consequences of doing so? One of the elders heard the Great Elder's analysis and said incredulously, obviously not believing that Edmund had the courage to do so. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"This only shows the seriousness of the problem, to the point that Edmund has already deceived the Council of Elders." The Grand Elder didn't speak, and Odom had already spoken sarcastically.
"Young Master Bryant, this is just your speculation, if there is no solid evidence, you can't insult a nobleman." A man who was not used to seeing Odom spoke, apparently on Edmund's side, and there was no acceptance in their hearts for Odom, a new aristocrat who had only recently joined their small circle.
Odom wasn't angry, just smiled and nodded to the other to express his apologies. Seeing Odom's attitude, the other party was embarrassed to say anything, after all, the demeanor of the nobles still had to be maintained.
"It's not impossible that Odom is saying that it's impossible, but that it's very probable, so although we shouldn't doubt Edmund for no reason, we can't help but prepare early." The Great Elder said lightly, and after the Great Elder spoke, no one dared to jump out to refute, although what he said was not much different from Odom, but the difference in identity made their speeches receive different degrees of attention.
"Great Elder, what should we do next, now Odom is still in the Blackstone Fortress, we can't interfere at all, even if we send someone to rescue, it's too late to send someone to rescue, if something really happens to him, his life doesn't matter, but if it affects everyone, we have to let everyone suffer losses with him."
"What Lord Anakin said makes sense, and taking precautions may not be superfluous." A nobleman said worriedly, and this is also the voice of most nobles, seeing that everyone agreed, the nobleman who had a good relationship with Edmund did not say anything, because to help Edmund speak at this time is to offend those nobles who are afraid of things.
"Great Elder, what do you say, what should we do?" A nobleman asked the Great Elder.
"I think everyone should also see that someone is going to do something to us, as for who the enemy is, I don't need to say, you should all know it." The Great Elder scanned everyone and found that no one objected, and then continued, "All they can do is to attack us through Edmund's defeat, but we are not made of paper, since they have already made a move, we will take it. This matter, the cause of everything is the guy named Aix, the Guardian wants us to kill him, and the people of the Void support the old crow of Svein, so, the old crow wants to protect him, the reason why we will be involved in the border dispute is because of the search for Aix, so we can't get out, and now there is a tendency to get deeper and deeper, so what we have to do now is to contact the Guardian and ask them to contact Demacia to cooperate with us, and the other is to kill that Aix. ”
When he said that he would kill Aix, the Great Elder's eyes burst out with fierce murderous intent, as if there was some deep hatred between him and Aix.
"However, we have just arranged an assassination that failed, and the other party has already become vigilant, and now lives in Svein's castle, and if you want to kill people under Svein's nose, unless it is a heroic assassin who is dispatched." A nobleman shook his head and said, obviously not very optimistic about this goal.
"Just a young boy, can he stay in the castle of Svein all day and not come out? A teenager of his age, who is not energetic, will always come out to have fun, and Draven will not follow a teenager's ass every day. Anakin smirked sinisterly.
"Okay, I'll arrange the assassination myself, you don't need to worry about it, now, the most important thing is to deal with Svein and prevent them from doing any tricks. Everyone has given me some of the last few days, don't let them grab any of them, and also, give me all the information on Blackstone Fortress, don't be afraid to miss any of it. The Great Elder finally concluded, and then everyone began to leave one after another.
"Odom, stay for a moment, I have something to tell you." Just as Odom walked to the door, the Great Elder suddenly spoke up and left Odom behind, Odom didn't know why the Great Elder only left him, but he didn't ask more, but stood aside and let the others leave, and soon, only the Great Elder and Odom were left in the conference room.
"Bryant, that old fellow has an excellent heir! It's really enviable. The Great Elder said with emotion.
"The Great Elder has an overreputation, I'm just a child's temperament, and I'm just talking nonsense in the meeting, it's comparable to you the Great Elder!" Odom humbly said, not at all proud of the Great Elder's praise.
"Alas, if it weren't for Louis's competitiveness and lack of knowledge of advancing and retreating, he would not have ended up buried alive." The Great Elder sighed and said, and that Louis was his son and Tina's previous fiancé, but he was led by Tina to a ruin of the Great Barrier, and was calculated by Aix and buried alive in the ruins.
"My lord, please mourn, people cannot be resurrected after death." Odom didn't know what the Great Elder was thinking, so he could only casually persuade him.
"Alas, people are old, that's it, easy to be sad." The Great Elder seemed to realize his gaffe, and immediately adjusted his state while drinking tea, and then said to Odom, "What do you think, how is the current meeting of nobles?" The Great Elder suddenly asked Odom, which caught Odom off guard, wondering why the Great Elder had come to the Council of Nobles again.
"It's okay, after all, it's the old power of Noxus." Odom didn't make much of it, just commented briefly.
"Alas, the current aristocratic meeting has long been rotten to the roots, in the past, every expedition in Noxus would be led by the nobles, and the nobles were the elites of Noxus, but if you look at these so-called elites now, what has become of them, they will pass the buck to each other when they encounter a little thing, completely for their own interests, no one is willing to sacrifice for others, let alone propose a life-and-death battle."
"Great Elder, aren't you always trying to change? I am confident that under your leadership, the conference will return to its glory. Odom said respectfully, without any emotion.
The Great Elder glanced at Odom deeply, and suddenly said, "If I step back, this position will be given to you, will you agree?" ”
