Chapter 510: Trees
Han Dong's laughter is not because of the chance to win.
Rather, it was the president's sarcastic laughter that caused him to simply laugh.
So far, Han Dong has not seen any reversal of this chess game.
The president of the Writers' Association has a higher 'position' in the Holy City than Mr. Black and White, and has long taken advantage of various loopholes in the Holy City to infiltrate the high-level inside.
Even if a great plague grows, all that can be done is to stall for time.
Ordered by the Supreme Council, Han Dong's removal is basically a foregone conclusion.
That's when it happened.
There is another force coming.
There were less than a hundred people, but it forced the teams of the Black Rose Knights and the Plague Knights to retreat on their own initiative.
The arrival of this side of the force made even the parliamentarians and the president of the writers' association frown at the same time.
The person in charge of the arrest operation, Marcus, flashed a trace of difficulty in his eyes, and the originally simple arrest incident became extremely complicated.
"The curator is here!"
A total of thirty special personnel dressed in pure white high-necked robes and peaked hats, all of which were stamped with the "Mihara Book Imprint" on the backs of their robes.
The leader was none other than the head of the library of the Royal Knight Academy, the editor-in-chief of the Imperial Book Publishing in the Holy City, and the honorary president of the Magical Society. Director Rodney.
His image is a white-bearded old man, which belongs to the more common image of a white-robed wizard in magic movies.
Deputy Director Hera also followed.
Obviously, the library forces came forward, naturally because of [Demps. Martin].
The reason why the time was a little late was because Deputy Curator Inhera personally wrote and asked the Chief Curator to come forward...... After all, this matter is of no use to her as a deputy director.
The letter's contents, portraying Demps as a once-in-a-century wizard and his ability to control more than five different elements of magic at once, moved the Administrator and decided to intervene in the matter.
"Councillor, I agree with the Chief of the Great Plague.
This matter involves an important member of staff in my library, Demps. Martin.
As far as I know, Demps was personally selected by Hera to be the general administrator of the library because of his excellent memory and sense of responsibility when he entered the school.
In the past three years, he has been working diligently and has never had any negative impact on my library.
It may not be too much of a joke for such a good staff member to be convicted that he didn't notify the library in advance...... If I may, I recommend reconsideration.
I, the Plague Chief, and anyone involved in this will need to attend.
Also, I'm very interested in Stephen. President McNofsky's identity was questioned. β
The attitude of the parliamentarian was unusually firm, "The judgment is an instrument given by the Supreme Council with absolute executive power, and there is no need and cannot be reformulated.
I also ask the Curator and the Chief of the Great Plague to attend the trial meeting of the 'betrayers' at 10 o'clock in the morning tomorrow morning.
As for President Stephen's business, it does not fall within the scope of current events.
If there is a problem, it is necessary to wait until the betrayer case is dealt with before the relevant evidence collection, parliamentary discussion and judgment are carried out. β
"This councilor, shouldn't some of the parliamentary systems be changed?"
When the librarian's words were thrown.
Even the Great Plague Chief was stunned, after all, he was a little afraid to say such words, which was equivalent to questioning the supreme power of the Holy City.
Just when the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Stephen, the president of the association, suddenly spoke up and proposed:
"There's no need to complicate things so much.
Indeed, it was my problem that the censorship and verdict of the betrayer were not promptly communicated to the curator and the chief of the plague...... It was I who asked the council to expedite the hearing of this matter, after all, it was too dangerous for such a heresy to mingle in the Holy City.
Once the rumors leak out and let the betrayers know that their identities have been revealed, there is a high chance that they will escape.
Since neither of you believes that your students or staff have a problem, nor do they believe the evidence I have provided.
Then it's up to me to 'check up' myself.
I possess enough 'dream skills' to make any betrayer reveal the part of their body that belongs outside the city.
If the verification fails, I will personally file a re-judgment with the council and take full responsibility for the matter in which I have provided insufficient evidence...... Even if you ask me to step down as the president of the association, it's okay.
To see is to believe!
Curator Reynolds, Chief of the Mograine Plague, what do you think of such opinions? β
"Okay."
The librarian simply did not believe that there was something wrong with his librarian based on the evidence Hera had given him.
At the same time, the curator was not very satisfied with the director of the writers' association, so he came here to intervene in this matter.
There is no objection to such a proposal.
The Plague Chief, however, looked embarrassed, because he knew that Han Dong was indeed 'a little problem'.
At this moment, the raven whispered, so that the plague chief did not need to worry.
"Alright, let's do what President Stephen did."
The plague chief is calm on the surface, but he is extremely anxious inside...... If Han Dong's identity is exposed, the biggest crime of cover-up corresponds to Mr. Black and White.
"Black and white, you told me...... This will correspond to the high-ranking existence outside the city. At present, you can't be stopped by such a direct physical examination, right?"
"Rest assured, this game has already spawned an additional hidden chessboard.
When Nicholas obtained the 'evidence', it was already distracted, and all its attention was on Han Dong and Demps, who were rushing back to the city.
The additional changes to the board were not noticed at all.
Even if he has a complete advantage on the main chessboard, the overall situation shows that he is digging his own grave.
In addition, with the help of the clockman, a special person has been brought back in advance to catch this important moment...... Now we just need to watch the show.'"
β¦β¦
After obtaining permission from the councillor.
President Stephen's face was filled with a triumphant smile, and his deep eyes conveyed to Han Dong a look of complete disdain for inferior species.
A powerful aura radiated from President Stephen's body.
As the president approached, Han Dong's body trembled and slowly retreated, his expression stiff......
"How...... Where did that smile go? If you think you have the head of the regiment as a backer, can you continue to hide your identity? What a naΓ―ve little guy. β
A strong spiritual power overflowed from the chairman's head, instantly suppressing Han Dong and not giving him the possibility of escape and resistance.
"Let's show you the ugly face you hide under your mask."
Touch a finger on your forehead.
Han Dong's expression froze instantly, and the deepest secrets in his head were excavated.
An incomparably strong aura of death overflowed from under Han Dong's feet.
At the same time, in the cellar area of the high-level area of the Holy City, the [Knights of the Dead], Captain Alex suddenly opened his eyes, and four words stood out from his mouth:
"Absolute Death ......"
City gates.
What slowly emerged from Han Dong's body was not a speckled tentacle, an indescribable deformed face, or a strange limb that could not be described in conventional words.
It's a black tree.
"Poof...... Hahaha! I'm sorry, I really can't do it anymore, let me laugh for a while. β
Han Dong pretended to be frightened and was broken, and now he was holding his belly and laughing wildly.
Through the [Laughter] attribute and the Faceless Person's head, they can resist the spiritual invasion of this guild leader.
"It's ...... What tree!? β
The Black Rose Knight, the Plague Knight, and even the well-informed librarians had never seen such a strange talent tree, or rather, it was beyond the concept of a regular talent tree.
When the black tree appears, the surrounding scene changes.
The ground on which the knights stood was replaced by an illusion of black sand.
In the midst of the black desert of death, a black tree thrived through blood brewing, its lush branches covered with red fruits.
Look at it from afar.
The dense red fruits are patched together like a red smiling face, and the black branches are like lines on the lips.
Talent Tree - "Smiley Face"
