Chapter 204: Helper
In the Morel family, a family meeting full of wits continues.
After a small turmoil at the beginning, the face of the third-order mage was obviously not very good, and after many reminders from the family elders, the third-order mage named Marcel reluctantly controlled his emotions, pressed the restlessness in his heart, and threw out the two agendas for tonight.
The first agenda is to study the depth of the relationship between Baron Passas and the Abyss forces, and then discuss how to deal with Passas, and through this matter, conduct a self-examination within the family, and must purge anyone related to the Abyss forces to ensure the nobility and glory of the family, so as to prevent the Morel family from being affected by this turmoil, ruining its reputation and losing its foundation.
The second agenda is to study the future changes in the Golden City, and discuss whether it is possible for the Morel family to take advantage of this chaos to gather power and rise further, and then continue to expand its territory and consolidate its territory.
At the meeting, the third-order mage once again saluted Madame Wen Li and several family elders, as a sign of the glory of the Morel family and the mage's personal respect for the Earl.
"So let's move on to the first topic of the day."
After the opening description of the current situation in the Golden City, as well as the expression of his attitude, Marcel went straight to the point: "Lord Count, we have a question for you right now. ”
Hearing this, Alan secretly wondered. It stands to reason that family meetings between nobles on the Divine Grace Continent are generally based on the size of the honor, from low to high, and as soon as the presiding officer of this meeting speaks, he continues to target Mrs. Wen Li, which is puzzling.
For now, it doesn't matter what kind of answer Wen Li will give to the question of the third-order mage. As the first person to speak, as soon as Wen Li expressed her position, everyone could follow her train of thought. or support, or refute, and Wen Li can only passively accept the offer. This obviously pushed Wen Li into a more awkward position.
Alan had always known that Lady Wen Li was in a difficult situation in the Morel family, and when she saw her today, it was true. Mrs. Wen Li was quite respectable on the surface. But when it comes to the real family meeting, it is very passive. For a long time, Mo said that it was a woman, even a man, and I was afraid that he would not be able to resist. Lady Wen Li has been an earl for so long, and she can still maintain the current situation and cultivate her own elite forces, which is not bad.
Thinking of this, Alan secretly made up his mind. Lady Wen Li's status in the Morel family must be changed in one fell swoop, at least so that the group of men in front of her dare not underestimate her.
"Just ask." Wen Li looked at the third-order mage helplessly, just for Allen's business, Wen Li had already been angry once, this time, Wen Li silently endured, and it could be regarded as giving everyone a step.
After receiving Wen Li's response, the mage immediately raised his voice: "Lord Earl. Excuse me, where is Passas right now? ”
Hum. Sure enough, that's the problem. Wen Li sneered in her heart, this group of guys still wants to wash away Passas. The mage Marcel is the cousin of Wen Li's husband, and so is Passas, with whom Marsar has been practicing spells together for ten or twenty years, and now something has happened to Passas. Marcel naturally wanted to keep him.
But Wen Li won't let Passas get her way. On the other hand, Alan heard that after Wen Li obtained Passas, he did not make it public, and nodded approvingly, which was right.
"We'll talk about that later. For now, let's characterize Passas's behavior. Madame Wen Li said, "As long as the people of Passas think that Passas really has nothing to do with the abyss forces, I will release him immediately, but if Passas has made a mistake, I need the immediate authorization of the council to deprive Passas of the Barony of his title, and to hang him, show him internally, and report the situation to the City Lord's Mansion." ”
Marcel listened impatiently to Wen Li's speech, and withdrew his gaze from the Earl, and looked at the knights beside him, and then at the elders, all with different expressions on their faces.
Chilled for a while.
Alan watched from the sidelines, but thought in his heart, after this period of operation, Mrs. Wen Li didn't know if she had a helper in the family council, and at this time, if someone stood up and echoed Mrs. Wen Li, the situation would be opened.
But it's a pity that Alan waited for a long time, but no one said a word, it seems that the time is still too short, and Mrs. Wen Li has not been able to dig up helpers. Or is Mrs. Wen Li's helper still waiting?
At this time, the mage Marcel spoke again: "Lord Count, if Passas is not guilty, what should you do?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the conference hall suddenly fell silent, as if a needle had fallen, and it could be heard.
Although Marcel's words were not completely explained, this was obviously forcing the palace and asking Mrs. Wen Li to give an attitude, whether she wants to step down or how, there must be an explanation......
Wen Li was stunned when she heard this, Marcel said this, obviously to force himself to go to the extreme, a little careless, the position left by her husband and children will be taken away. In the past, although Wen Li was also harassed and excluded in the meeting, she was able to make a smooth transition every time, and this was the first time that the family council had clearly expressed such an attitude.
Red flag!
It was really unexpected, Wen Li's heart thumped twice. Unexpectedly, the Morel family took advantage of the chaos in this golden city, not only to take the opportunity to seek some benefits among the nobles, but also to take advantage of the situation to take it down. Thinking about this, Wen Li suddenly became a little flustered, and when she turned around, she saw that Alan was still standing quietly, and her heart was finally much calmer.
Not only Wen Li, Alan listened to Marcel's words on the side, and he also had a lot of ideas in his heart, this Morel family wants Wen Li to take out his title as a bet to argue whether Passas is guilty or not, such a bargaining chip seems to be too high.
And at this moment, on the round table, a quasi-legendary knight spoke: "Today we are mainly discussing how to deal with the problem of Passas, Lord Count actually took Passas, there must be enough evidence, otherwise how could he act so rashly, Marcel, as the general summoner, arranged for us to participate in this meeting, then let's make things clear first, if Lord Count makes a mistake, is there no way for me to punish the Morel clan rules?" ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the venue suddenly became lively again.
Marcel glanced at the knight, this person's name is Zamora, more than sixty years old, according to the generation, older than Marcel, only one step away from the legend, now the senior in the clan has spoken, although Marcel was shocked, but did not open his mouth to refute.
Just looked at the two legendary elders beside him in a little surprise, the two elders were expressionless and did not say anything, which made Marcel a little anxious, thinking in his heart, it seems that the elders in the family have not completely agreed on how to deal with Wen Li, whatever, as long as the final family meeting makes a conclusion and believes that Passas is not guilty, Wen Li will always have to pay her price, and it is impossible to sit down anymore in the position of earl.
In the middle of the venue, Zamora's sudden opening caused fluctuations in everyone's minds.
"It seems that this is the helper that Mrs. Wen Li has found. The last time this person didn't speak, this time it was a bit of a surprise, and it was very critical. Alan thought alone.
The two legendary elders were also stunned, they didn't expect Zamora to support Wen Li at this time, originally the two legends had a dispute over who Wen Li and Passas should keep, and now the knight in the family who is most likely to advance to the legendary realm has spoken, and the change in the pattern has caused more psychological changes in the two legends. That's why Mage Marcel felt neglected.
The venue was noisy for a long time, although it was not reluctant, as a nobleman who knew the rules, Marcel could only push the meeting to go on, without the support of the family elders, Marcel could not force Madame Wen Li to make any promises.
At this moment, Wen Li spoke: "First of all, we should make it clear that the abyss forces have done many evils, more than 3,000 innocent people have been slaughtered overnight, and the crimes are extremely heinous. If anyone in my Morel family is involved, they will be punished severely! ”
Wen Li did not directly criticize Passas, but took the lead in defining the nature of the abyss forces, so that Passas had no chance of turning the tables. The forces of the Abyss have done a lot of evil, and now they have caused great anger and panic in the Golden City. In order to calm the hearts of the common people, the City Lord's Mansion of Morel issued an announcement in the name of Lord Earl yesterday, condemning the abyss forces.
Therefore, as soon as Wen Li's point of view was put forward, it was not hindered in any way, and it was recognized by everyone at once.
Then the next stage is the proof stage. All Lady Wen Li needs to do is to prove that Passas has an affair with the Abyssal Forces, and that they are deeply involved.
It was a sure thing that Passas was Victor's minions in the City of Gold, and soon, under the combing of Clerk Avalo, many important materials were put on the table.
The first choice is to present some less conclusive objective materials, including some of the purchase records of Passas in the past year, including magic materials, trolls, etc., although there are purchase records, but there is no corresponding in the mansion, so Wen Li believes that these items were sacrificed to the Abyss Altar.
Then Wen Li combed through Passas's circle of friends, and the results were beyond everyone's expectations, unexpectedly, half of the aristocratic friends who Passas had more contact with on weekdays have now been detained by the City Lord's Mansion, and all of them have been confirmed to be abyssal minions.
Marcel and several of his companions did not approve of these two materials, bluntly saying that such things were speculation and could not be determined.
So Wen Li continued to give evidence, and took out the special ledger and the deciphering table that Alan had sent for herself......
ps, the second more to ask for a reward, ask for a monthly pass!! (To be continued.) )
