Chapter 227: The Split of the Floating City

Pirino Aiden struggled to get up.

When he saw where he was, and the indifferent gazes around him, his body couldn't help but tremble.

These gazes, from those who had once flattered and flattered them, were now full of disgust and hatred, completely different from before, as if they were looking at a disgusting street rat, without the slightest pity.

The dignity accumulated over decades, the aristocratic fame of thousands of years, disappeared overnight, and was trampled on.

This made Pirino, who had been in the top position for a long time, extremely embarrassed, and wanted to burrow into the ground.

"Pirino Aiden. ”

Ancivodaus's voice rang out, his tone was flat, and he couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations, but it made Pirino tremble.

As if the strength he had just stood up had been drained, he suddenly collapsed to the ground again, and cried out in a lost voice: "Your Excellency the Speaker......

Ancy Vodaus was expressionless.

"You have committed three major felonies. ”

"First, believe in evil gods. This is the most unforgivable crime in the Empire and even in the entire world of Ehrenus, and this alone is enough to sentence you to death. ”

"Second, the killing of innocent civilians, the number of whom cannot be counted specifically, has been found to be at least 1,200 people. ”

"Third, the intention is to create a greater scale of plague and attempted killing. ”

With each accusation, Pirino's head was lowered and he finally fell to the ground, his heart like ashes.

"You have sinned beyond forgiveness. Anthyvodaus continued: "The High Council has made a decision to give me the authority to put you on trial. ”

"Here, in the name of Vijeestri, I, Anthy Vodaus, pronounce you to death. ”

"And deprive Ark of the title of Earl, take back the Ark territory to the jurisdiction of the Empire, and hand over all the land, assets, companies, and cash in the name of the Aiden family in the territory to the Empire, revoke the noble status of the Aiden family, and erase the surname of the Aiden family. ”

Effective immediately. ”

Ancy Vodaus read out one sentence after another.

At first, Pirino didn't react much, and he knew he was going to die. But when he heard that he had revoked the Earl of Atclan, taken back the territory, and erased his family name, he was already weeping bitterly, and the remorse in his heart was like countless poisonous insects frantically biting, and he almost fainted.

He didn't sacrifice the entire family, and secretly sent a few direct descendants as seeds, and moved them to a hidden place as follow-ups.

In case of failure, as long as you cover it up properly, your descendants can still inherit the title of earl and fief.

This kind of luck psychology has allowed him to support him until now.

However, it is no longer possible.

The ancient aristocracy, which had been passed down from the dawn of the empire, ceased to exist.

Pirino cried loudly, and the miserable cry resounded throughout the Place de la Rouin, and even though people knew that he had a cause for his crimes, and that his death was not a pity, some people could not bear to see a lord who had once been high in the world.

In particular, several other nobles in Modu had a relationship with Pirino in the past, and they had a sense of crisis.

The nobles of Modu have one less family, how many years can their family support it?

However, they are only thinking about it, and they will never dare to speak out to defend Pirino Aiden, which is undoubtedly self-defeating, and it is too late to draw a clear line.

At this time, the legendary mid-level holy swordsman standing under the high platform walked up slowly.

The duties of the Righteous Church in the Empire are equivalent to those of law enforcers.

Under normal circumstances, the Inquisition was presided over by the Holy Swordsman, and in the eyes of the people of the Empire, the Church of Justice was also called the Court of Justice, and each Holy Swordsman was both an inquisitor and an executioner.

Now that the trial is over, it's time for the Holy Sword to play.

Ansivodaus is a Holy Soul Wizard, and of course he cannot execute criminals in front of everyone, which not only defiles the hands of Holy Soul Wizards, but also violates the laws of the Empire.

As the highest-ranking holy swordsman in the field, he was obliged to serve Master Anzai.

He walked over to Pirino and drew his silver sword.

"Hines, wait. ”

Suddenly, someone spoke up to stop it, and everyone was shocked, and found that it was Master Anxi himself, who had just been sentenced, who spoke.

"Yes, Your Excellency. The legendary swordsman named Hines was also surprised, but he bowed and bowed, and then retreated to the side.

The people in the square exchanged their heads and could not guess the intentions of Master Anzai.

Only Wren's heart tightened.

He knew that the most crucial thing was coming.

Anthy Vodaus stood up, and instead of looking at Pirino, his eyes looked over the high platform, and then swept over the wizards under the high platform.

The eyes of the Holy Soul Wizard made many wizards' faces turn pale, and they seemed to have ghosts in their hearts.

Wren noticed that quite a few wizards were even trembling, and they didn't dare to face Anthy Vodaus, and lowered their heads like ostriches.

These people are almost all sorcerers who are hostile to them on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony.

Ansivodaus let out a faint snort before he said, "I have been sentenced for the crime Pirino has committed, but he has also done something else in secret. ”

"According to his confession, he has been ...... with the lords for more than twenty years," said Ansivodaus, looking at the old nobles of Mordu led by the Marquis of Giliu, under the high platform.

One by one, they were in a cold sweat, cowering, as if they were going to run away on the spot.

"Is it true that he and the lords will fund the establishment of another floating city in the shield island region of the New World?" Ancivodaus's words were like a shock, throwing a boulder on the surface of the sea, stirring up a monstrous wave.

There was an uproar in the square.

"Goddess!" exclaimed.

There were also people with a look of disbelief, shaking their heads and sighing: "Build another floating city, or in the New World, are they crazy?"

Wren also found it incredible.

Then looking back, it seems that there is a reasonable explanation for the various behaviors and covert plans of the Modu nobles.

First of all, there is the problem of funds, the lord of Mordu is rich and rivals the country, but he can't even get a cash compensation of one million gold guilders, because they have used the money to build a floating city.

This money buys a large amount of alchemy materials and transports them out of the port.

On that desert island, through the portal, it was sent to the shield island in the new world, and the large boxes carried by those workers, which were full of alchemy materials, were also a corroboration.

A legendary wizard like Master Louin, who does not seek fame and fortune, inexplicably withdrew from Wezeland, but he did not want to be an enemy of Master Anxi, and it was also to establish a floating city.

Imperial law does not stipulate that only Holy Soul Wizards can build Floating Cities.

This is not a crime.

Moreover, the Modu nobles chose to build the floating city in the New World, which would not threaten the empire, so Master Anxi did not add this charge when he tried Pirino.

But there is a problem, it takes manpower to build a floating city, and even after it is built, it is impossible to have only a floating city without wizards, and the number of wizards required is not low.

So, where did this new Floating City wizard come from?

The answer is self-explanatory.

With the strength of the Modu nobles alone, money is not enough, there must be many wizards to cooperate with them, these wizards cannot do both, and they will inevitably withdraw from the floating city of Wezeland.

This is undoubtedly weakening the power of the Wezeland Floating City.

Or rather, it's betrayal!

No matter how benevolent and magnanimous Ancy Wodaus's character was, he would not allow such a thing to happen.

"The wizard who participated in the construction of the new floating city stood up for himself. Ancy Vodaus said indifferently, "I'll only give you one chance. ”

Although he didn't use powerful spells to deter, the prestige of the Holy Soul Wizard still made everyone in the audience tremble.

Especially those who participated.

Some of the wizards looked at each other with hesitant expressions, but finally some gritted their teeth and took the lead out of the crowd.

With the first, there is the second, and the third......

"Kelvin!"

"Keely, you even betrayed Floating City!"

"Mayblin, I misread you. ”

"Why? Landev, why are you doing this?"

Many wizards couldn't help but shout angrily and make accusations, but more and more wizards came forward to admit it, and soon more and more wizards exceeded a hundred, which made people's hearts chill. They found that the best friends they knew, more or less, had chosen to betray, and they couldn't scold them at all, and they were panicked and powerless.

A minute later, the number of wizards in the queue reached one hundred and fifty.

That's a third of the power of the Wezeland Floating City, and there is no shortage of members of the wizarding order!

And, it hasn't stopped yet.

A wizard with a high status who stood at the front also joined them. His actions shocked everyone.

"Lord Vallega!"

Many people can't help but call out his name because he is a legendary wizard.

Valega's expression was very determined, and he was not afraid, he was not alone, and immediately three more wizards stood by his side, all of them were legends, and even one of them was a legend of the middle rank!

In the process of many wizards coming out, Ancy Vodaus did not say a word.

After the four legendary wizards stood up, he looked at the high platform again, and it was obvious that there were also wizards who had betrayed the floating city on the high platform.

Seeing this scene, the people in the square were like falling into an ice cellar.

The sun overhead is still warm, the breeze is warm, and the floating city is like spring all year round, but at this moment, everyone feels like they are standing in the cold wind of the ice valley, and their bodies are cold.

Under the gaze of everyone, one of the speakers slowly got up.

It's Speaker Medra.

Anthy Wodaus's eyes finally changed, but he was not too surprised, nor did he show anger, but he was a little relieved.

The other three speakers changed color in unison.

The youngest Cadegar couldn't hold back and asked in a deep voice, "Why, Speaker Medra?"

Murdra did not respond.

The two Speakers, Cleos and Ronnie, their faces seemed to be relatively calm, but they actually clenched their hands unconsciously, revealing undulating emotions.

"Medra, I need an explanation. Ancy Vodaus said softly.

With long black hair, crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and dull skin, the gloomy Medra finally broke her silence: "Speaker, I can only live for ten years at most." ”

Hearing this, many people were first taken aback, and then sighed.

Because of the curse of blood souls, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to live past the age of seventy; to become transcendent, they can cultivate to strengthen their souls, resist curses, and prolong their lifespans, but it is still difficult for transcendents below the legend to live to be more than 100 years old.

Pirino threw himself into the Lord of the Necromancy, precisely because he failed to advance to the rank of Legend and was about to run out of life, so he made a crazy move.

Promoted to legend, you can live to be at least three hundred years old.

Every time a Legendary Transcendent is promoted to a rank, his lifespan can be increased by another three hundred years, reaching the Legendary High Rank, and it is not a problem to live to be nine hundred years old.

Coupled with some life-extending treasures, potions or spells, the Legendary High Rank can live for about a thousand years at most!

But this has reached the limit of the legend.

If you want to live longer, the best way is naturally to advance to the Holy Soul.

No one knows how long the Holy Soul will live, and to date, the longest human lifespan is recorded as the "First Wizard", Master Ogulvi, who is older than the history of the Empire, more than 2,500 years, and can be called a living fossil.

But it was too difficult to promote the Holy Soul.

At this time, it was remembered that Speaker Medra was in fact a contemporary of Master Anthy, and they were similar in age, but they were less than twenty years apart.

His Excellency the Speaker has been promoted to the Holy Soul for nearly a thousand years, and Speaker Medra is still a legendary high-rank.

She came from a noble family in Mordu, but that family had died out long before she entered the Council of Six, and for such a long time, she had become the Speaker of the Floating City second only to Master Anzai.

Beneath the Holy Soul are mortals.

For such a long time, she has come to the end of her legendary life.

Medra's expression was haggard, no longer majestic as before, but his voice was still cold, pointing to Pirino on the ground, and said: "I am different from his pursuit, I don't want to become a pickled and disgusting lich, and the promotion of the Holy Soul is my only hope." ”

"My talent potential has been exhausted, and I can't succeed on my own. ”

"So, I need to master a floating city and use the vast energy of the core of Eola to perform a soul transformation ritual that will allow me to advance to the Holy Soul level. ”

When many people hear this, their hearts are suddenly shocked.

The Core of Eola is one of the greatest magical creations in the world of Erenus, and it is rumored to have endless energy and many incredible functions that are as powerful as an artifact!

Anthy Vodaus, however, was unmoved.

He shook his head and said, "The core of Eola can indeed play a role in assisting the Holy Soul ritual, but the key to advancing to the Holy Soul is not in it, at most it can only increase the success rate a little." ”

"Even if it's a 1 percent success rate, I'm going to go for it. Medra said categorically.

Ancy Vodaus was silent for a few moments, his expression regretful.

If he could, he would certainly lend the Core of Iola in Wezeland Floating City to Medra for use, but it was impossible.

The Core of Eola is the core of the Floating City, and mastering it will take control of the Floating City.

Extracting its energy to perform the Holy Soul Ritual would cause the Floating City to lose its energy source and inevitably crash, and even if the Floating City was allowed to land temporarily, the risks would be too great.

Not to mention, the core of Eola is soul-bound.

Once possessed, it cannot be taken away or drained from energy unless it is killed and the soul dies.

Medra borrowed the Core of Eola, and if she managed to advance to the Holy Soul, would she return control of the Floating City?

It's an unsolvable question.

Even if it was a thousand years of friendship, Ancy Wodaus would not trust her.

In other words, no one would be so generous.

Medra's only way out was to possess her own Core of Eola, and she did have her own reasons for betraying the Floating City, but Anthyvodaus was not satisfied with this answer.

With Medra's fame and ability alone, it was impossible to drive so many wizards away.

And not every wizard faces the dilemma of reaching the end of their life.

Anthy Vodaus looked at the wizards lined up at the top of the platform and asked, "What about you, and for what?"
