Chapter 207: Ascending
Meeting of the Morel family.
The sudden move of the legendary swordsman and Allen changed the atmosphere of the scene, and then opened the stalemate. The matter about Passas is actually very simple, once the situation is opened and all the evidence is sorted out again, everyone soon realizes that the person they have been trying to protect has indeed done a lot of things that cannot be put on the table.
At present, with the help of the chaos in the Golden City, it is cleared, although there are labor pains for the Morel family, but if it is handled properly, it can also establish the noble image of the Morel family among the commoners, which is a good thing.
Soon after the authorization of the family council, the Morel family's bodyguards sealed off the castle of Passas, and forcefully arrested the castle steward, while gathering a lot of chilling information. Everyone knew that a few years ago, this baron had become a minion of the abyss, and had been infiltrating the family for a long time.
Soon, under Wen Li's advance layout, the two servants of the Morel family put forward a request for redress, and after investigation, the mystery of the disappearance of Wen Li's personal maid was pulled out, and after the interrogation of Passas's steward, it was even pulled out that Passas had attacked Mrs. Wen Li's major incident.
As soon as this incident came out, the meeting hall was silent again, and when the interrogation transcript of the Governor of Passas was sent in an hour's time, Allen also took out the personal interrogation transcript of Passas, and the two were thrown into the venue like a bombshell.
If it is said that Wen Li seized Passas on her own without a family meeting, it is inappropriate. At present, the assassination of Wen Li by Passas is a heinous and unforgivable sin.
Wen Li, the Count, belonged to the head of the family and held the Passas in custody if he was deemed guilty. There is nothing to blame, but if Passas commits the following offense and stabs Wen Li, the nature is different! If you assassinate Wen Li today, who will you assassinate next time? Many of the nobles who attended the meeting were completely outraged!
"It came so suddenly, Wen Li. Why didn't you mention it before, the family meeting will make decisions for you? "Legendary Elder Briet Dao.
Wen Li looked at the confession on the table, and then looked at the angry faces of the family members present, and said, "I will not act easily until I am absolutely sure that I will bring down Passas, and you have also seen how powerful the abyss force behind Passas is. The slightest mistake could lead to my death. That's why I chose to forbear! “
Hearing this, Briet's face looked a little ugly. looked at Baudouin beside him, but found that this old man was still in a cold sweat, silent, thinking that the impact of the Ash Assassin was still too big for Baudouin, there was no way, Briaine could only shake his head helplessly.
Tonight, the Morel family held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the Passas. Another important issue is to determine the direction of the family's future development.
And the direction of a family. The most important thing is who its leader is!
At the moment, Passas's crime was too great, and everyone was speechless, Brière, as the third person to preside over the meeting today, after the third-order mage and Baudouin, hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether this agenda needed to be continued. I don't know where the pattern of the Morel family will go after continuing to advance.
At this moment, Zamora, a quasi-legendary knight who had been Wen Li's helper for a time, spoke. This knight was many days ago. After Wen Li and Alan discussed, they found a breakthrough in the family meeting.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zamora naturally had her own plans in her heart.
I opened my mouth to help Wen Li today, although there was an exchange of interests behind this, but no matter what, I was barely in the same camp as the countess. And Wen Li's side has an absolute advantage tonight in terms of combat strength and aristocratic morality, in this case, why not directly push Wen Li to the peak of the Morel family.
Zamora said, "We have a second item on our agenda tonight, which is to decide the future of the family. ”
"In my opinion, the future direction of the family has to do with two things. The first thing, who will lead us; The second thing is whether the abyss forces will make a comeback. If the Abyss Force is really going to invade the Divine Grace Continent in the next year or so, as rumored to be, then I think we in the Morel family should be prepared in advance. ”
"In addition, Zamora believes that in the future situation, Lady Wen Li will still be our most trusted Earl, and I am willing to accept the leadership of Lady Wen Li wholeheartedly!" Zamora spoke very firmly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Li's heart moved slightly, looked at Zamora, and nodded.
Allen also had a smile on his face, and the chess pieces laid out in advance in this step have now played a good role.
As the strongest person in the field, Alan added to the code and said: "I am only willing to accept the leadership of Mrs. Wen Li!" ”
The nobles present heard what Zamora and Allen said, and their hearts were shocked again, Elder Zamora wanted to help Madame Wen Li directly take power. The crowd fell silent.
As a noble family that has been inherited for thousands of years, to be honest, the Morel family has seen all the big and small storms, although the ash assassin is powerful, but if he really does his best, it is not impossible for the Morel family to take it down. Isn't it worth it just to do that? The nobles present had their own calculations in their hearts, but everyone's opinion was basically the same, if they let themselves be in front of the front and deal with the assassin, there was only one way to die.
For a while, no one wanted to be a bird.
But when the wind rises, man cannot stop it from blowing wherever it goes, and when the water flows, it is difficult for man to stop it from flowing downward. Some things, once the wood is in the boat, they are going down the river, and it is difficult to stop them.
After a period of silence, Briaët seemed to see something clearly. Right now, no one in the family meeting can shake Wen Li's foundation, and at this time, it is better to be a personal favor than to stalemate with her. So Briaet said: "Madame Wenli is the supreme count of my Morel family, and now, I, Briet, have re-sworn allegiance to Madame Wenli!" ”
Yes!
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the venue, and the legendary Baudouin, who had been silent, also had a look of surprise in his eyes at this time, and looked at Brie. It's just that after Briaer took the lead, many nobles in the family were unwilling to be reconciled, and they had already sworn allegiance to Wen Li again, and even if Baudouin had other ideas, it would be difficult to implement.
Baudouin sighed and said nothing.
Mrs. Wen Li sat on the throne and looked at the nobles in the family with great excitement, her eyes turned red all of a sudden. To be honest, as a young girl, Wen Li does not have too much luxury for power, in this turbulent family, Wen Li has only one idea, that is, to keep the titles of her husband and son, and not to let people forget that their revenge has not yet been avenged, and then, it is their own survival.
For many years, Wen Li has been working hard, hoping that the nobles in the family can support her and investigate the deaths of her husband and children. However, the eldest masters of the Morel family have always refused to implement it out of various thoughts, which makes Wen Li feel quite disappointed, and she has also firmly grasped the idea of firmly grasping the real power of the family.
Over the years, Wen Li has been ostracized, assassinated, and the matriarchal family has almost disappeared.
With tears on her face, Wen Li looked at Alan gratefully, if it weren't for the sudden action of this little knight, the situation of tonight's meeting would not have undergone this fundamental reversal, it was Alan who single-handedly pushed her to this position.
"Thank you, my little knight!" Mrs. Wen Li's heart was beating fast, a little aggrieved, and a little firm!
After a long silence, the meeting still has to come to an end!
Wen Li finally spoke: "Okay, since everyone is willing to accept my leadership, then from now on, I announce that the Morel family has entered a state of combat readiness and actively trained its troops to deal with possible changes in the future!" ”
This was the first thing Wen Li said after regaining everyone's allegiance, but I didn't expect someone to ask: "Lord Earl, if the abyss forces you mentioned do not invade the Divine Grace Continent in the future, then our training will not be in vain." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wen Li was slightly stunned, thinking in her heart, although this group of people has sworn allegiance, but her ability to control them is obviously still insufficient, but it doesn't matter, after Wen Li returned to power, she has gained a firm foothold politically, and then as long as she is intimidated by a little force, she can always control the administrative resources such as territory, mines, roads, soldiers and horses.
And at this moment, Alan was also shocked, he couldn't imagine that this abyss strength had made such a big move in the Golden City, and some people even thought that the abyss demons were just a whim, and they didn't think that they would invade the divine grace on a large scale. It seems that the sense of crisis of the abyss's invasion of divine grace has not yet penetrated into everyone's hearts. Alan sighed slightly, in the face of the big era, I am afraid there is still a long way to go if I want to change everyone's concept.
At this time, Mrs. Wen Li said: "Anyway, there are many signs that in the next few years, the three northern kingdoms will not be too stable, just in order to deal with the possible reshuffle of the nobles in the future, we should also be prepared." ”
"Also, have you forgotten, my husband, how my child died! The two of them are the purest flesh and blood of your Morel family, and they are also the symbols of the glory of the Morel family. In a year's time, if the forces of the Abyss do not invade, then I will lead the team and personally kill the orc colony to avenge my husband and children, and if the battle fails, I am willing to step down from the earldom position. ”
Wen Li is unwilling to gamble on her earl for someone like Passas, but in order to avenge her husband and children, Wen Li can do anything!
Well, Wen Li's judgment of the future situation was not too wrong, and the reason for the later move to recruit the orcs was also quite legitimate, and everyone nodded, no more, and acquiesced to this result.
