Chapter 404: Confrontation
"Lin, do you know that if you do this, Katina will be worried about me?"
"Do you want her to follow us into unknowable danger?"
Lin's words stung Ellie deeply. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info She's always dependent on someone else, formerly Terry, then Alan, now Katina, even though she knows that she is in danger, she still selfishly wants someone to be by her side, even if that person hurts the person around her......
"Don't talk about it."
Alan ended the conversation and hugged Ellie into his arms.
The carriage stopped at the edge of a villa, and Bright opened the door and greeted the four of them.
"Your Highnesses, this is the Main Pavilion of the Executive Court, please come with me."
Led by Bright, the four of them walked into the execution court, which looked like a castle.
The black exterior is gray marble walls, and the interior decoration is similar to Dax's council hall, but much more ornate than Dax's.
"Welcome, my dear friends!"
A richly dressed man strode down the spiral staircase. He wore a coffee-colored fur coat with a ring on the index finger of his left and right hands, half-length hair slightly curled on both sides of his cheeks, and a wide gold belt around his waist. A pair of tall leather boots clattered on the marble floor.
"What a cheesy outfit."
"Shh
Bane stopped Lin and glared at him with an angry expression.
"Hello, I am the master of the Enforcement Court, you can call me Executive Popper, or you can call me Count Popper. Of course, in Dax, the title of Earl can only be possessed by one person, and that is my great brother Borumman. So, it's more natural for you to call me CEO. β
When Pope speaks, his little finger is slightly curled, and his appearance is twisted and contrived, which is almost like singing in Allen's eyes.
- Such a man turned out to be the younger brother of King Dax...
Everyone's psychology is thinking like this at the moment, but they are all people with good cultivation, and they don't show any disgust on the surface.
It has always been heard that the current earl of Dax has a biological brother, but in Dax, no one has ever seen this so-called own brother. It turned out that Pope had always lived in Haussmann, and his ambitions were huge, and he gradually climbed from a powerless royal outcast to the highest position in the executive court today. Although Burgman has been letting it go, in fact, he secretly sent foreign aid to hinder Haussman's development, and China has never really risen in Dax, but because of this, the relationship between the two brothers has become very bad.
The two brothers, Brumman and Pope, have joined forces for the first time this time, and the catty in it is still impossible to see clearly, and Allen's uneasiness is gradually expanding, even if the mystery is about to be revealed, he is still very worried in his heart.
"Without further ado, let's get started, everyone is waiting."
Pop snapped his fingers, and the spiral staircase in the middle broke off from the middle and moved to both sides, revealing a large floor-to-ceiling carved wooden door at the back of the staircase. Then he snapped his fingers, the door opened, and a golden hall of communication appeared in front of everyone's eyes - there were two tables on the left and right sides of the hall, and a huge stage in the middle, and at this moment there was already a person sitting under the stage, and when he saw someone coming in, this person hurriedly got up,
"Count Pope, you're finally here."
With a flattering voice and a sly expression, Ellie didn't want to look at this person more.
"Idiot, who made you sit here?!"
Pop didn't seem to take his set, and reprimanded him with disgust.
"Yes, yes, my subordinates will prepare."
The man smirked and exited the room, not forgetting to glance at Allen as he entered.
Alan and Ellie were placed in the southeast corner of the room, Bane and Lin were seated in the southwest corner, and Bright was behind the main Pop, and everything seemed to be on track.
"CEO Pope, is this meeting just the four of us?"
Ellie asked.
"Actually, the exchange meeting ended a day ago. You're late, it's all Bright's late departure, I've already punished him. β
"Then why did you invite us when it's over?"
"Hehe, that's the case, half a year ago, the Northern Army sent people to our country to capture the Demon Sword Ripia, I think you should all know about it."
Everyone nodded.
"The Demon Sword Repia has been kept by the Ghost Clan at the border of Dax, but he didn't expect to cause such trouble, and this matter has also caused a very bad impact."
-- Bad influence? Doesn't it mean that the matter has been resolved smoothly?
Ellie thought to herself.
"When the Northern Army seized the Demon Sword, it summoned the King Beast of the Demon Race, thus opening the entrance to the Great Abyss of the Demon Race, causing Dax's day and night to be indistinguishable, and the black moon to occupy the sky."
Ellie tried to link Pop's words to her own memories, but the more she thought about it, the more her head exploded.
ββThe entrance of the demon race should refer to the spatial gap where Eren and the others came, and the black moon should be the so-called bad influence caused by the spatial chaos.
"My dear brother and I take this very seriously. Because getting longer nights is a very bad thing for Dax. The commissioner at the weather tower calculated that each day at Hausman was 0.01 seconds longer than the night before. This may seem like a small number, but you must know that Dax's night has taken up half of the day, and if the night becomes longer, Dax may be in danger of destroying the country. β
Pop said excitedly.
"So someone has to come out and solve this problem."
Pop looked at Ellie.
"Me?"
Ellie pointed to her nose.
"Yes, Your Highness Ellie, you are responsible for this matter. As the knight in charge of the weather tower, why didn't you find out and report this situation at that time, now the travel in various ports has been affected by the weather, and in the past month, Haussmann's foreign trade materials have been unable to make ends meet, do you know what kind of trauma this will cause to the development of our country? β
"I see..."
Alan's voice interrupted Pop's words,
"On the surface, as the current boss of Haussman, you naturally don't want Haussmann's trade to be affected, so you are in a hurry to solve this matter, but in Dax, this phenomenon has not affected the operation of the country in the slightest, so the Count has always been in a state of ignorance. You are afraid that if this continues, the funds and army that Haussmann has built up with great difficulty will be ruined, and it is impossible for the plan of the country and China to succeed, so you use the exchange meeting as an excuse to persuade the earl, and promise that the earl will take care of the black moon during the exchange meeting, and the only request is to give you the people you want. β
Watching Pop's face gradually darken, Alan continued,
"But actually, you want to take advantage of this opportunity to turn against you, you know the real reason for the sky vision, and you know that this may be your only chance to change your fate, so even if it is a lie, you have to trick Ellie, because Ellie is here, I will come."
