Chapter 297: The Wind Rises (3)
The light of day fell, and the holy city was shrouded in a faint light.
Merlin walked slowly ahead, while Filine followed him quietly.
"Master, the situation is very critical now, you see......" Filine looked at Merlin and wanted to say something.
"Don't be in a hurry, Firin. ”
Mo Lin smiled slightly, shook his head, and the expression on his face was very indifferent, without the slightest urgency.
"By the way, did you tell them?"
Morin looked ahead and asked casually.
"I've already told them that. Fei Lin nodded and said, "Last night, I sent knights to visit them in the mansions of various knights and nobles, so that they can come to the court meeting today and come to meet your master." ”
"Just tell them. ”
Morin said lightly, he stretched, yawned, and said, "Let's see how many people will come today." ”
Yes, it's time to see how many knights and nobles really regard him, the Holy Lord, as a thing.
Whether it is killing the Black Sawyer snake people outside, or suppressing those with ulterior motives, it is very simple and easy for Morin, who has now formed a new bloodline and has greatly improved his strength, but such an opportunity is rare and interesting.
Isn't it?
Maureen smiled silently.
Soon, when it was time for the assembly, the knights and nobles did not come much, only about seventy percent of the usual.
The knights and nobles didn't speak, but their eyes flashed, and they looked at each other very wrongly, and it was obvious that they had other thoughts in their hearts.
"Your Excellency, Lord ......"
Gray looked at Merlin and stopped talking.
After a few brief words, Morin stood up.
"Okay, the meeting is over, you go back, remember, this time tomorrow, you still have to come here. Mo Lin's eyes raised slightly, he looked at the many knights and nobles in front of him, and said lightly.
The numerous knights and nobles said goodbye to Merin, turned around and left the palace in turn.
The next day, there were fewer knights and nobles who came, only about sixty percent of the usual days.
Merlin turned a blind eye to all this, as if he hadn't seen the knights and nobles who were missing at all, and he said a few words lightly, and then disbanded the court.
On the third day, the court meeting was held again.
There were fewer knights and nobles who came, and all the liberal knights and nobles did not appear, and in the hall, there were only knights and nobles from the Holy Lord faction.
Only fifty percent.
After the dissolution of the court, Filine and Gray hurriedly found Morin.
"Master!" Firin's voice sounded anxious, making people feel extra worried.
"Holy Lord, you can't go on like this anymore, if it goes on like this, there will be no more knights and nobles to participate in the court, and when the time comes, the majesty of the Holy Palace will disappear completely, and no knight nobles will take the Holy Palace in their eyes. ”
Gray's expression was a little excited, he held the cross sword at his waist, then took a deep breath, and said, "Master, let me take the knights of the Holy Palace to set off to kill one or two knights who didn't come to the court meeting earlier, we must use iron and blood to establish majesty!"
Gray's voice was sonorous and powerful, and it was exceptionally cold.
But Maureen simply smiled.
"No need. He said.
"Don't worry, the Holy Palace is still the Holy Palace, I am still the Holy Lord, and I will not change. ”
Morin said, and walked towards the back.
Gray and Filine looked at each other, then at Merlin's back, silent, not speaking.
According to common sense, they should feel nervous and disappointed, but I don't know why, when they heard Mo Lin's indifferent voice and saw Mo Lin's back, they felt a burst of calm in their hearts, and instantly had an indescribable inexplicable calmness.
Time goes on, everything goes on.
The fourth day of the pilgrimage.
It's still the knights and nobles who come slowly, but only thirty percent.
The pilgrimage on the fifth day.
Very few knights and nobles came.
Only 20% of what it used to be.
The sixth day of the pilgrimage.
The knightly nobles came even less.
The pilgrimage on the seventh day.
Hajj on the eighth day.
Pilgrimage on the ninth day.
............
When the Tenth Day Pilgrimage began, Maureen did not leave quietly as usual.
He looked at the sparse and less than ten percent knight nobles in front of him, and slowly stood up.
"It's amazing that so many people are here to attend the court. ”
A smile appeared on Maureen's face.
He exhaled softly and said, "Good, really, you guys are really good." ”
Rumble!!
On Mo Lin's body, a powerful momentum rose, and a thick black qi suddenly surged like a sea tide, making the entire hall tremble incessantly.
"This ......"
"Your ......, Lord of the Holy Lord"
Not only those knights and nobles, but even Gray and Firin, couldn't help but show a look of shock on their faces.
It's terrifying, it's really terrifying, just standing on that long black pillar barely stretching out, they have a terrifying feeling that their whole body trembles, and their souls seem to be torn apart.
It was as if there was another completely detached being, looking down on them indifferently and coldly.
"Alright, you guys go back, come again tomorrow, and come back again. Mo Lin's body was surrounded by black qi and black-red flames, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he smiled slightly, "Do you know?"
"Good...... Yes, Lord of the Lord. ”
These knights and nobles were very excited, at this time, they were able to hold on for a long time, and they were naturally extremely loyal to Morin when there were fewer and fewer people, so at this time, they were a little unable to help themselves.
Of course, Morin has also used chips to scan and analyze these knight nobles in the past few days, believing that these knight nobles are loyal.
This is a very important reason.
After the knights and nobles left, Filyn and Gray walked over slowly.
"Holy Lord, ...... you" Gray opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw Merlin's calm face, he suddenly couldn't say anything.
"Don't worry. ”
Maureen just whispered.
Gray was stunned, but inexplicably relieved.
"Those people are probably still laughing at the Holy Lord, and they want to see the jokes of the Holy Lord. A thought crossed Gray's mind.
In his heart, he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
......
in the banquet hall.
The candlelight was shining, the pretty maids were dancing, the roast goose was faintly scented, everything was so beautiful.
"Have you heard, there have been fewer and fewer people who have been going to the Holy Lord's pilgrimage lately, and to meet the Holy Lord. As if thinking of something, Conn put down the silver knife and fork in his hand, looked at the other knights and nobles, and said lightly. He was the leader of the liberal knightly aristocracy.
"Haha, the Holy Lord doesn't want to think about what the situation is now, he thinks there are still people who will obey his orders?"
"That's right, Holy Lord, that Maureen Olsen is an idiot, a self-righteous and utter idiot!"
The other liberal knights and aristocrats laughed, looking unscrupulous and extraordinarily presumptuous.
Conn smiled too.
"Yes, the Holy Lord is really ......" Conn shook his head slightly, and said, "From now on, there will be no more Holy Lord in the human race." ”
......
Krell and the numerous knightly nobles gathered, and they were whispering something.
They talked about Maureen's recent actions and initiatives.
"No one has gone, and the knight nobles have to go to the so-called court meeting...... "A knight nobleman said, shaking his head slightly, with a disdainful sneer on his face.
"Maureen Olsen, he is not worthy to be our Holy Lord. ”
Krell closed his eyes slightly, and in a moment, his eyes opened.
"Alright, let's move on to the rest of the story. Krell said.
The knights and nobles gathered together and discussed again.
............
Larin walked slowly through the slums, beside him were many paupers with glowing eyes and fanatical faces.
Larin said some words of comfort, but his mind was on other things.
"Holy Lord, hehe, an idiot desperately trying to maintain his majesty. ”
"He has nothing to fear, and then, he only needs to think about those knights and nobles. ”
............
Maureen left the Sanctuary.
He was in a good mood and decided to take a stroll outside and see the current Holy City.
Although the holy city is still very prosperous, you can clearly feel the tension and depression behind this prosperity.
The storm is coming.
"Huh?" Morin looked to the side and suddenly let out a startled sigh.
With a movement of his palm, he grabbed at the wall next to him.
The walls of the alley were made of bluestone, and they were very hard, but when Morin's hand reached in, the walls were like water waves, and there were faint ripples.
Morin's palm moved slightly, and soon, he grabbed a writhing black snake out of the wall.
The little black snake was very slippery, and its exposed purple-black teeth were very sharp, and it was terrifyingly poisonous and ferocious at first glance, but it trembled on Morin's palm, and it didn't dare to move at all.
"This little snake...... It's the breath of the Black Sawyer Snake Man, fast, it's really fast, the Black Sawyer Snake Man is really menacing. ”
The corners of Morin's mouth curled, and he laughed, "It's getting more and more interesting." ”
He turned and walked outside.
With a pop, with the force of Merlin's palm, the little black snake was pinched to pieces.
