Chapter Eighty-Three: Chain Reaction
"Ruolan? Ruolan? Belinda walked into the kitchen, looked around, and shouted.
Since Ruolan knocked over the dinner plate on Lin Yang's body, she has never appeared again, and she has not even sent the poisoned wine that Ji Lu has drawn up, which can't help but make her feel very annoyed.
There was a noise in one of the cupboards, the kitchen door creaked open, and Ruolan crawled out in a daze.
"Ruolan, why are you hiding here?" Belinda said in shock and anger.
"Master!" Ruolan knelt down in front of Belinda, and said in a spirited voice: "Lin Yang! Lin Yang has seen through your plan! ”
"What!?" Belinda screamed and roared, "What about the bottle of medicine? ”
"He also snatched it, and it must have been served to someone in the banquet hall to drink, I deserved to die for not helping the master complete the task!"
"You deserve to die." Belinda's eyes darkened, and she almost fainted, and her whole body seemed to be drained of her strength in an instant, and she screamed: "But it's Lin Yang who is even more damned!" I was going to use this party to get rid of him, but I didn't expect him to plot against me! It seems that all of us underestimated him! ”
Hearing the quarrel in the kitchen, O'Brien also walked in and asked, "Sister, what's going on?" ”
Ruolan told the story as it was.
"Smack!"
A slap flew Ruolan to the ground, O'Brien was furious, the anger had already washed away, and he no longer had the usual calmness, and he was about to rush out, shouting: "This bastard, I'll go to him to settle accounts!" ”
Belinda grabbed her brother and said, "Calm down! It's useless to say anything now, do you want to make a fuss about our blatant poisoning at the party? When the time comes, it is a small matter for us to be pushed to the forefront, and it is a big thing to affect the reputation of the entire family! ”
"What then?" O'Brien gradually sobered up a little, and asked rhetorically, "Do you want to let that kid from Lin Yang get away with it?" ”
"Everything started because of me, I originally thought that this plan was foolproof, but I didn't expect him to see through it." Belinda lowered her head and muttered: "We can only wait for now, we can only hope that it is an ordinary nobleman who drinks the poisoned wine, and losing some money can solve the problem." ”
"What if it's a member of the other sixteen families who drank poisoned wine by mistake?"
"It's all gone." Belinda uttered these four words in almost despair.
……
On the other hand, Prince Tracy and Princess Daisy return to the academy and enter a private room on one of the towers.
The room was spacious and secluded, and Prince Tracy sat down on the sofa while Princess Daisy made two cups of decanting tea.
Taking a sip of tea, Tracy asked, "Daisy, what do you think the Cartier siblings are doing this party for?" ”
"Win people's hearts?" Daisy tilted her head and smiled.
"If you can negotiate in private, why put it on the table?" Tracy smiled.
"What's that for?" Daisy was a little confused.
"Silly sister, haven't you noticed it yet?" Tracy sneered: "That guy O'Brien, he deliberately made things difficult for Lin Yang several times in the middle, although he didn't show malicious intent, but I'm sure that Lin Yang definitely had a holiday with their brother and sister." ”
"But Lin Yang has never had any trouble, didn't he return to the academy safely after the end?" Daisy frowned.
"That's what I wondered."
Suddenly, Prince Tracy's pupils contracted violently, his chest ached sharply, his hands pressed his stomach, and the corners of his mouth slowly bleed!
"Brother!" Daisy exclaimed, hurriedly supported him, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Good, good, good Cartier!" Tracy gritted her teeth and said: "It's really a good trick, what a finger and scolding Huai!" I originally thought that they wanted to deal with Lin Yang, but I didn't expect that it was just to hide people's eyes, and the ultimate goal was to deal with me! The bottle of wine we drank was poisonous! ”
Daisy's face changed drastically, and she drank the bottle of wine, and then the effect of the medicine finally came up, and she had the same reaction as Tracy, with severe stomach pain, pale face, bleeding from the corners of her mouth, and even convulsions all over her body.
"Daisy, you have to hold on, you won't die here, we won't die!" Tracy is worthy of being a prince, the toxin attacked, but still gritted her teeth, insisted on standing up, a dazzling golden light erupted from her body, and she swayed towards the door.
Thirty steps, eighteen steps, eleven steps......
With a "plop", and when there were still five steps to the door, Tracy finally gave up and collapsed.
After a while, Tracy miraculously crawled forward again, and despite the terrible convulsions that began to appear all over her body, she still did not give up, and finally crawled to the door, endured the severe pain all over her body, leaned against the door, turned the doorknob, and pushed the door open!
Then, he didn't have any strength left, and he collapsed out the door.
Occasionally, students passed by in the aisle, and when they saw the prince of the federal royal family falling outside the door, they were shocked and went to report to the top of the academy.
……
Next.
The early morning sun shone in through the window, Lin Yang stretched his waist and reluctantly got up from the bed, the hangover after drinking last night was still there, and there was a dull pain in his left head.
After putting on the student uniform and eating a bread in a hurry, Lin Yang walked towards the main castle of the academy and started a busy day again.
However, it is clear that the atmosphere today is a little wrong.
Halfway along the way, there were many students talking about some things in private, Lin Yang listened carefully, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.
"Something is wrong! Something is wrong! Something babbling said.
"What's the matter?" The few people walking in front were a little confused.
"Haven't you heard? Oh my God, how closed you are with this news! Last night, the brothers and sisters of the Cartier family invited sixteen wealthy families and a group of big nobles with heads and faces to hold a party in Icewind Dale, who would have thought that after Prince Tracy and Princess Daisy of the federal royal family came back from the party, they were unwell, vomiting and diarrhea, if it wasn't for someone who accidentally passed by their room and saw this scene, I'm afraid what we saw today is the corpses of the prince and princess! ”
"This ......," said someone in disbelief, "could it be that the food is spoiled and the stomach is spoiled?" ”
"If only that were the case! According to later reliable information, the prince and princess were definitely poisoned! Now the Cartier siblings have been summoned to the upper echelons of the academy to accept the final decision! ”
"I'll go, this is simply a Hongmen feast!"
"Tsk, the brothers and sisters of the Cartier family are simply not things, relying on their own background in the sixteenth wealthy family, they dare to look at no one and do anything wrong, even poisoning this kind of indiscriminate trick! And it's used against the federal royalty! ”
"What? Are you upset? People come from a good background, which can be regarded as a kind of ability, why don't you go to a party and see how many famous nobles you can invite? ”
"Hey, don't even mention it, now this matter is full of turmoil in the city, and it is almost the number one major event in recent years, and Acting Dean Douglas is also furious about this, let's take it easy! lest we be stabbed by some sinister guy to the top of the academy, saying that we maliciously spread rumors and create rumors, and everyone can't eat and walk around in the end! ”
Lin Yang sneered, he was originally the protagonist of this incident, but now he has successfully got rid of it, and he just needs to watch from the sidelines.
"Let's make trouble, the bigger the trouble, the better, it's better to be expelled from the academy, and I'll be happy." Lin Yang secretly thought in his heart, first Hermes, and then Cartier brothers and sisters, trouble after trouble, God knows who else will jump out next, others are not tired, he is also a little tired, after all, he is here to learn from the teacher, not to solve the trouble.
In the evening, a bombshell news came out, and the whole hospital was shocked.
Acting Dean Douglas discussed with the senior management of the academy several times, and for the sake of fairness and strictness, he openly expelled the two brothers and sisters of the Cartier family, causing an uproar!
This is the first time in the history of the Jackdaw Castle Mage Academy that a student from the Sixteen Giants has been expelled!
Of course, in the eyes of the outside world, this decision is absolutely cruel to the Cartier brothers and sisters, but for Prince Tracy and Princess Daisy, it is inevitably a little cheap for each other, after all, they almost died in the academy because of this, but the Cartier brothers and sisters just ended up swept away.
The sunset is full, and a red sun is about to set over the mountains.
This day is destined to be extraordinary, the entire academy, more than half of the people gathered in the front yard, crowded with people, in the middle is a narrow corridor, Cartier brothers and sisters, tidy up their things, walked down the castle with a depressed face, and walked slowly to the gate of the academy from the corridor reserved by the crowd.
The thousands of onlookers around seemed to have all become their enemies in an instant, playful, playful, pitying, vicious, and contemptuous of all kinds of eyes, shooting hotly, as if they had become street rats, everyone shouted and beaten, and it was as if this special "farewell ceremony" was visiting the guillotine.
In short, the name of the Sixteen Giants is not as loud as before for the first time, and it does not make people awe-inspired.
O'Brien lowered his head and walked forward, Prince Tracy and Princess Daisy stood not far ahead, looking at him with eyes full of hatred, almost wanting to dismantle him.
Belinda was not happy, Lin Yang didn't know when Lu Dao came out of the crowd, looking at her playfully, she instinctively glared at Lin Yang, but was disgusted and disgusted by more people.
Then Lin Yang quickly hid in the depths of the crowd, raised his voice and shouted: "Get out of the academy!" It's a shame on your family! You don't deserve the words sixteen giants! ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and suddenly the emotions of the crowd fluctuated, screaming and roaring, and they kept coming, and the sound shook the sky.
"Get out of the academy! Get out of the academy! Get out of the academy! ”
"You don't deserve the Sixteen Giants!"
"The banquet is poisoned, and it is a shame on your family!"
……
At the top of the main fort, on one floor of the tower, in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling windows.
The elders of the academy looked down at the Cartier brothers and sisters being driven away and cursed by everyone, with different expressions.
"I said Glass, isn't the decision to fire O'Brien and Belinda a little too harsh?" A gray-haired old magister said.
Douglas looked gloomy and sighed: "The disaster was caused by themselves, and the two members of the royal family almost died because of this, what else can I do?" And this is the best outcome after the discussion of the elders. We don't have the right to dictate other people's lives in the academy, so we can only be expelled. ”
"Hey." Another silver-robed legendary mage sighed, "If the Dean were here, I'm afraid I would be able to come up with a better solution......
Someone raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Do you have any news about Lord Dean lately?" ”
The instructors shook their heads.
After forgetting to glance at the Cartier siblings who walked out the door, Douglas sighed: "Expulsion is only the beginning, far from the end. I really can't understand why the two of them are going to deal with Prince Tracy and Princess Daisy. The royal family of the Federation will definitely not rest on its laurels in this matter, Cartier and Apollo, these two names, either of them can be famous, and at the moment I only hope that war will not break out......"
……
Sure enough, the expulsion was not the end, but only the beginning of a chain reaction.
What happened at the Jackdaw Fort Mage Academy quickly spread to the federal royal family, and in the next few days, the relationship between the royal family and the Cartier family was also tense for a while, and the swords were tense, almost to the point of swords and soldiers.
In any case, this incident is the fault of the Cartier family, and the federal royal family has been dormant for many years, giving the outside world the feeling that it has long been gradually declining, of course, it will not let go of this rare opportunity to demonstrate to the outside world.
As for how to demonstrate? In this regard, the royal family really deserves to be the big brother, and the attitude has always been tough, with a lightning speed, sending hundreds of thousands of troops to guard the junction of the two clans, and releasing cruel words, if the Cartier family does not give a reasonable explanation, then a full-scale war will break out.
Whether there will be a full-scale war or not, no one knows this, but one thing is very clear, in this incident that happened in the Jackdaw Fort Mage Academy, most of the sixteen powerful families were on the side of the royal family, so in this round of competition, the Cartier family was defeated again and was pushed to the top of the public opinion circle.
After a stalemate for half a month, the turmoil finally calmed down, and the armies of both sides retreated.
Later, the news came from the mixed land of various dragons and snakes, it is said that the Cartier family used a lot of money to quell the war, some people guessed tens of millions, some people guessed 100 million, or even hundreds of millions, in short, the Cartier family suffered a dumb loss this time, hemorrhage, and its status in the sixteen giants also dropped instantly, becoming the bottom.
Of course, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if it is at the bottom, it is still one of the sixteen giants, and fundamentally, this incident did not hurt the Cartier family, but the reputation was greatly reduced, plus the loss of an unknown amount of gold coins.
The siblings, O'Brien and Belinda, were also tried by the family, and at the presbyterian meeting, the siblings' arguments were misinterpreted into quibbles, and they were both locked up for a year.
In addition, the Carmen family, who were friendly with the Cartier family, was also implicated, and under the pressure of several old families in the Holy City, they completely lost the support of the Cartier family, and the Carmen family completely rolled out of the Holy City, Hermes looked depressed, and his father was also depressed, dumb and eating coptis, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering.
In fact, no one knows that the initiator of the entire series of events is Hermes.
Back to the origin of the matter, if Hermes had not instigated his father after being sent out of the academy by Lin Yang, his father would not have visited the Cartier family, and the Council of Elders of the Cartier family would not have been able to send a message to O'Brien and Belinda in the academy, and then no one would have dealt with Lin Yang.
"It's your own fault, it's really your own fault!" Hermes looked up to the sky and sighed, full of regret.
At this moment, he was following the family team and slowly moving out of the Holy City, and the thousand-year-old foundation of the Carmen family was completely destroyed in his hands at this moment.
Ahead, his father, who was in a slewd figure and riding a horse, was also walking forward with a soul, about to walk out of the gates of the Holy City. The loss of the family foundation is small, and the loss of the support of the Cartier family is the most painful thing for him, and when he thinks of this, as a father, he can't help but sigh.
But who would have thought that an inconspicuous Lin Yang would actually become an invisible link, setting off this series of chain reactions?
