Chapter 120: Political Maneuvering
The silence was followed by an uproar!
Sitting in the VIP seats are a handful of people at the top of the power pyramid of the Earldom of Weilun. The messenger's message was simply telling them that "the fire has come to our house." However, the person who "lit the fire" was still a guest in their "home".
Is there anything more funny, infuriating, maddening?
"This is betrayal! Shameful betrayal! ”
"She's blaspheming the Empty God!?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Causing a war on the Rain Festival? Is she crazy! ”
Count Weilun took a deep breath and glanced at Gillyne, who immediately understood the meaning of the leader and quietly left the VIP seat. Count Wei Lun stepped down from the podium, and the master of ceremonies, who was in charge of presiding over the gladiatorial competition, strode up. He was also very nervous, and he shivered and wiped his cold sweat with a handkerchief before going on stage.
"Praise the empty gods! Praise to Lord Wei Lun! Now, with warm applause and enthusiastic cheers, let's welcome [Song of Light] from the Imperial Capital, Shakira, who is both beautiful and wise! She will praise our heroes with her touching singing voice! ”
Of course, it is impossible for such a grand event to be without a plan to prepare for an emergency. It's a very old-fashioned way to invite big stars to perform, but it's undoubtedly extremely effective.
Many people haven't heard of any "Song of Light", but I heard that she came from the imperial capital of the empire, and she has a very famous title, which sounds like she is very powerful, and the audience is in a high mood now. The tide is naturally looking forward to being more lively and exciting, so that the cheers and shouts are simply about to break through the sky.
If the Colosseum had a roof, I am afraid that it would also be overturned by this burst of shouts.
In the midst of these bursts of cheers, Count Wei Lun walked up to Vi Lijia, there was no smile on his face, and his face was black as if he had smeared the ashes on the bottom of the pot, "Lord Wei Lijia, you are a guest at home, and I have invited you to drink milk and bread." But now you have returned to me the iron hoof and the sharp blade, so that you have broken the oath divine contract, are you not afraid of being punished by the empty god? ”
In the world of "Wang Xingren", guests come to the host's house as guests, and the host will invite the guests to drink milk and eat bread, which is actually a contract ceremony, if the guests drink milk and eat bread, it means that they have reached an agreement on peaceful coexistence with the host, and the guests and hosts can not harm each other, otherwise it is a violation of the sacred contract, and will be severely punished by the empty gods!
"What's more, it's the Rain Prayer Festival! You actually started a war on the Prayer for Rain. Adf Velea, you blasphemy! Come on, get Adf Verriga for me! ”
A few of Wei Lun's sidekicks strode up.
"Wait!"
The high priest of the Empty Temple, who never cared about the power disputes in the "mortal world", also walked up at this time surrounded by a group of priests and priests. The High Priest looked at Viliga and said, "Lady Viliga of the Adfu family, Lord Count of the Empire, no matter what, please stop this blasphemous act immediately. The empty god has the broadest mind and strength, and she will forgive those who know that mistakes can be changed! ”
Although Wei Lijia had been prepared in her heart, but in the face of the high priest's accusation, which did not sound harsh, her heart still fluttered and beat faster, and she was determined, and Wei Lijia said: "High priest, please listen to my sincere prayer!" The real blasphemy against the empty god is not me, but Bourbon-Weilun! On the contrary, I did so to defend the holiness of the empty God. I will not allow a man like Bourbon-Willon to serve the empty god in a false way. This is not service, but deception, real blasphemy! ”
Wei Lun said: "It's ridiculous! It was you who started the war at the Prayer for Rain, but you said that I was blaspheming the empty gods. Don't you feel ashamed and pathetic when you open your eyes and tell nonsense? Lord Marfa, please arrest this blasphemous man immediately! Even if she is a member of the Adfu family, she can't escape punishment for committing heinous evil! ”
The High Priest said, "The empty gods are merciful and enlightened. She will not wronged a good person, nor will she spare any evil person. Adef Velica, I think you should know very well what it means to start a war during the Rain Festival. Since you've done it anyway, I'd like to hear why. What could make you risk being burned to death and do such a thing that people and gods are angry about! ”
Viliga looked pious, she knew that if she couldn't convince the High Priest, then everything would be in vain, especially now that she could be said to be alone in the enemy camp, like a sheep entering the wolf pack, unless she was protected by the lion of High Priest Marfa, she would not be able to live at all, "High Priest, you are a well-known scholar in the Empire, then you should have heard the legend about [Flying Demon Modesia] and St. Liuli I. ”
Flying Demons!?
Smelling without changing color, this is almost a true copy of the Chinese "talking about the tiger's color change".
The High Priest also opened his eyes and nodded "um".
The Flying Demons, in legends and canons, are the archenemies of the empty gods, just like Christ and Satan in the religious culture of the earth.
Wei Lijia was calm and elegant, and said: "Legend has it that Modescia was killed by St. Liuli I, but in fact, according to the real historical records of the empire, Modesia was not killed, but was divided into six parts by Shengliuli I, and sealed them in six places in the empire. And among them, the head and one-sixth of the soul of Modesia were sealed in the Modesia Mountain in the county of Willen! I've verified this myself. For this, I almost paid with my life! If it weren't for the blessing of the Void God, I'm afraid I would have died in the mouth of the demons of Modescia! ”
The High Priest raised his voice, "You mean, one of the Flying Demon's souls has broken the seal!?" ”
There was a sudden uproar around them.
The high priest shouted, "Silence! ”
In an instant, you can hear the pin dropping.
Wei Lijia said: "Yes! One-sixth of the soul of the Flying Demon has been revived! Moreover, he didn't break the seal by himself, but someone destroyed the elven circle set up by Saint Liuli I! According to my investigation, those stupid people are for the gold and silver treasures of the Sealed Lands. By the time I escaped and went to the cave again with my brave warriors, the gold and silver treasures had been emptied. As she spoke, Wei Lijia had already looked at Wei Lun.
She didn't say who the person who broke the seal was, and the discerning person knew at a glance that she was talking about Count Weilun.
Count Wei Lun said angrily: "Wei Lijia, you are slandering! ”
Wei Lijia said: "Lord Weilun, I didn't say that [the person who covets treasure and releases the demon is you], why are you so excited? ”
"You...... I ......" Count Willon's face was blue and red.
Of course, the High Priest couldn't have listened to Vilicia's words, "Adfu Viliga, do you have any evidence that Bourbon Weilun has anything to do with Modesia's soul revival?" Swear to the blue sky above you that what you say is true! If you lie, not only you, but your family, will have to pay for it! ”
Wei Lijia took out a gold coin from the money bag and said, "This is the evidence!" ”
As soon as the high priest's hand moved, the gold coin flew into his hand, and after a careful moment, he said, "This gold coin is very ancient, but because it contains divine power, it still retains its original luster and texture. This gold coin was obtained from the Sealed Lands? ”
Wei Lijia said, "No. These gold coins were obtained in the market of the Great City of Greatlands. If I hadn't had some eyesight, I wouldn't have been able to see its mystery. After my secret investigation, the gold coins were circulated from the castle of Count Willon. It only took me three days to collect more than 10,000 of these coins. All flow from the castle of the Counts of Willon. High Priest, how credible do you think it is to say that Wei Lun has nothing to do with Modesia's unsealing? ”
"You ......"
Wei Lijia said: "What's more, the evil beast conjured by the soul of Modesia has escaped from the Modecia Mountain, and after investigation, I found that it destroyed a town called Oak, and then flew in the direction of the Great Giant City, but after tracking it here, it completely lost the clue." So I suspect it's lurking in the Giants of Greatland right now. The city can no longer be managed by Bourbon-Willen. That's why I'm secretly mobilizing my army and preparing to take control of the city by force. ”
"Nonsense! Nonsense! It's all your frame-up! Wei Lun's face was red with excitement, and his hair was open.
Willy said solemnly: "All my actions now are based on the results of the investigation. If my findings are wrong, I, Virya of the Adfu family, am willing to bear all the consequences for the military action of this rain prayer festival. However, if you are afraid of the consequences and do nothing, and ignore the evil that may still exist, this is by no means what a qualified believer in the god should do. The empty gods will forgive me! ”
At this moment, another messenger rushed over, sweating profusely and frightened: "No...... Oh no! The eastern gate was attacked. Baron Suez was beheaded by the Knight of Gentry! Baron Gillian was defeated by the Knight of Quint and was putting up a tough resistance. ”
As soon as the messenger finished speaking, another messenger rushed over and shouted in horror: "Monster! Suddenly, a golden monster appears to join the battle, stopping the Knight of Gwent from advancing! The monster is very huge...... "Viliga asked, "Is there a pair of huge wings that can cover the sky?" ”
"Yes...... Yes......"
Wei Lijia glared at Count Wei Lun: "Sure enough, it's you!" Bourbon Weilun, what else do you have to say now!? ”
Count Wei Lun said excitedly: "No! No! Conspiracy, this is a conspiracy! Listen to me, High Priestess, she's framing me! ”
Wei Lijia said: "According to what you mean, is that golden monster still under the command and control of an ordinary person like me?" ”
“……”
The high priest Marpha spoke: "Originally, I was not fit to meddle in the affairs of your world. But since the Flying Demon Modescia was involved, the Empty Temple could not sit idly by, and the situation still developed. Lord Count Weilun, because you are seriously suspicious, you are not suitable to control the rule of this city for the time being. In order to reduce unnecessary casualties and spoil the atmosphere of the Prayer Festival, I hope that you will hand over your power peacefully. Rest assured, the Temple of the Sky will guarantee all your rights and interests until all the truth is revealed. ”
The fat flesh on Count Weilun's face shook fiercely a few times, and he let out a long breath and said, "I believe that innocent people will eventually get innocent!" The god of the sky will bless me! I am willing to hand over control of the city. ”
Wei Lijia sighed "It's a pity", how much she hoped that Wei Lun would resist, so that he would never be able to escape the sanctions, but he decisively chose to retreat, and if he wanted to finally move to him, he had to rely on political skills. However, in the political arena to wrestle and play conspiracy, who have I been afraid of?
The High Priest immediately issued an order to the priests on the left and right: "Immediately mobilize the [Knights of the Holy Grail] and destroy that golden monster!" ”
"Yes!"
The high priest added, "All of you here are very important people in the city. Encountering such an accident during the festival of praying for rain, which should be peaceful and peaceful, may be a test for us by the empty gods. So now you have to do your best to stabilize the situation in the city, and help Adfu Veliga to manage the city temporarily, so that there will be no chaos. No one should mess around until the truth is known. ”
Everyone should be.
Wei Lijia finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "This level is passed." Xi chooses, it's up to you next. ”
……
Why does the Golden Wyvern appear in the Great City? Also attacking the Quint Knights?
Time has to go back a bit......
