Chapter XXIII Trial Court
A majestic and luxurious room with a fiery glow burning from the fireplace, driving away the deep darkness.
In front of the fireplace sat a bearded, white-haired old man, whose majesty could not be concealed by the vicissitudes of his face. On the chairs opposite sat Vincent and Audrey. Judging by the atmosphere of their conversation, the seriousness of the matter was not ordinary.
"Buckle"
There was a knock on the heavy wooden door, interrupting the conversation of several people.
"Come in." Boise spoke.
The door was gently pushed open, and when Hei Chenqi slowly walked into the room, the two men in black silently closed the door and continued to wait outside the door.
"Listen to Lambert, you have something to talk to me about?" Boise didn't care about the other two people in the room, and looked at Heichen and asked.
"Yes."
"Then we'......" Audrey feared that what they were about to talk about would not be appropriate for anyone else to be present, and Vincent raised his hand to stop her from continuing.
Hei Chenqi didn't intend to avoid the two of them and said, "Dad, Mom, you all listen to it." β
Vincent and Audrey nodded, and they both got up and sat down in the chairs next to them, and Boise asked Heichen to sit across from him.
Heichen sat down calmly, looked at Boise with a serious face, and said, "Grandfather, I want to go to the Senate. β
βanselοΌβ Audrey was still thinking about what he was going to say, it was actually this! No way!
Vincent pressed Audrey's body to stand up and motioned for her to listen, "You go on. β
"Since everything Ives does starts because of me, it can only be ended by me. Didn't the Senate and the Inquisition keep an eye on me? Then I will go to them, as they desire. If Ives still wants to use me, he'll show up. Dad, you must have secretly investigated the place where he built the city, and I asked you when I went to the Senate. "Heichen can now calmly talk about the plans related to the ives.
Boise didn't know how Heichen thought that he could recover to this in such a short time, but he was quite in favor of this plan, "Are you willing to bear the consequences that might result?" β
Hei Chenqi must have thought about how he would be treated when he went there, and what would happen if he was not careful.
He chuckled, "Isn't it my grandfather and the whole Merovingian family to be my backup?" β
"Hehehe, worthy of my grandson! Say, you've figured out what you want me to do. Boise laughed, and Audrey couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen him smile so heartily.
It's a risky plan, so why doesn't anyone oppose it?
"Father, I don't agree."
"Audrey, remember what you said when you handed Ansel over to Lambert?" Boise smiled, asking seriously.
Audrey was silent, she certainly remembered what she had said. When she asked Lambert to take Ansel to Ives, they disagreed, believing that she would hurt Ansel in the future. But she said that Ansel was Merovingian's child and should not be hidden in a greenhouse. Now, as they thought, Ansel was indeed hurt, and she saw her child come back with a broken body, and her emotions were still extremely unstable, her heart would hurt, and she regretted it. Why did they hand over the ansel with their own hands now?
"Audrey, as you hoped, we don't want Ansel to hide here forever and avoid facing Ives, it's his own decision, you should believe he has the ability to do it." Boise tapped her on the shoulder and told her to think about it.
Audrey turned his head to look at Hei Chenji, he had ignored her for many years about this matter, and today he could still hear the name mom from his mouth, does it mean that he has really grown up and has his own ideas?
"Ansel, can you promise to come back safely?"
"Mom......" Hei Chenqi was helpless, he entered the land of the Tiger Beast alone, no matter how perfect the plan was, it was impossible to come back intact, but he could still guarantee one thing, "I will come back." β
In any case, he will definitely come back in the end.
"Well, a man should do things neatly, not look forward and cower. Audrey, you also grew up in the castle, which of our family's children is not brave and tough?! You've never been less risky back then. β
Boise had dug up her old stories and said what else could Audrey say. Thinking of the stupid things she did back then, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. Ansel is a boy, so naturally he can't lose to her.
"Okay." Audrey finally agreed, took Vincent's arm, and the two of them gave Heichen a supportive look.
"Can I tell my grandfather about my plans alone? One less person knows that it is always safer. Hei Chenqi smiled slightly, with the support of so many people, he would definitely be able to win this battle.
Vincent and Audrey nodded, got up and walked out without saying a word, of course they believed in their son.
The Senate is built on the top of a cliff, at an altitude of 8,000 meters, reaching almost to the clouds. The summit is covered with ice and snow all year round, and the extreme low temperature is cold to the bone marrow. It's like a heavenly building far from the hustle and bustle, but glowing with blood-colored splendor, just like ...... A trial court built next to it.
However, apart from each other, except for the same solemnity, there is no resemblance between the two. The Senate is solemn and solemn, represented by red and black. Because the members of the court were nobles, they held themselves very high, and were represented by holy white and gorgeous gold.
After the battle between the castle and the ives, Hei Chenqi had no scruples this time, and directly drove the eagles to the senator's meeting.
There were already people waiting to greet Heichen on the mountain, and the formation was like welcoming the most distinguished guest.
Hei Chenqi didn't show any emotion about this, disbanded the eagle group, and went melodiously.
"Please stay, the elder said, please move to the other side." As a result, before Heichen approached the Senate, the waiting person actually stopped him and pointed in the direction to the side......
Inquisition!
The Senate and the Inquisition have been in opposition for a long time, and now that he is coming to the Senate, he should have been closely received in order to prevent being robbed by the Inquisition, what does this mean now? Are they on the same page and have joined forces? It was the last thing he wanted.
It seems that this huge welcoming team was specially arranged to prevent them from escaping halfway. The enemy is outnumbered, and if you want to fight, the odds of winning are very small. What's more, Hei Chenqi didn't plan to conflict with them in the first place. Is the trial court? Where to go is not to go, but to be next to each other. He whistled, summoned an eagle, stepped on its back and flew straight to another mountain. The person who greeted him did not have his ability, so he could only follow Heichen in a car led by a domesticated crow.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Lord Ansel."
This greeting is really enough to leak, Heichen's feet just touched the ground, and someone immediately came to greet him, and he was an "old acquaintance".
"Ige, when did you become in charge of the gate pick-up?" Heichen was not happy to see his face, ignored his outstretched hand, and walked directly into the castle.
Iggy was not angry at all when he said this, and his smiling eyes showed a fine light. He smiled, put away his hand, and led a group of people behind him into the castle.
After entering the castle, he walked through the long hall and walked towards the underground council hall with a clear goal. On the way, there was no shortage of people watching him, all of them were high-level personnel in white robes, and low-level personnel in black robes did not dare to look at him directly when they encountered him, and dodged to the side of the road in fear.
Hei Chenqi has long been accustomed to being noticed and receiving this kind of "honor".
He walked forward quickly, and Eagle followed closely with people, almost unable to keep up with his pace, at such a speed, Hei Chenqi really did not intend to escape. But this makes people even more suspicious of his purpose. Whether it is the Senate or the court, although they have always been eyeing him, they are always keeping an eye on him. He came back this time, and both sides were red-eyed and waited for the right moment to snatch him. Iggy didn't know why his boss wanted to cooperate with the Senate, but now that the place where he met with Heichen was located here, did it mean that they were in the leading position this time to judge the court?
The underground council chamber is built deep beneath the castle, buried deep in the peak, and the outer rock wall is so hard that it is absolutely impenetrable natural barrier.
Heichen walked to the door of the council hall, and a guard saluted him, respectfully opened the door, and led him in. Iggy couldn't get into the council chamber with anyone, so he took over the guards and stood outside the door.
Because the council hall was built in the middle of the mountain, it was impermeable to light, and only the brilliant yellow light from the countless lamps on the dome illuminated the whole hall as if it were day. The seats filled the court were hidden in the darkness, and it was impossible to see each of them...... It's just the feeling of the average person. For Hei Chenqi, even if there is no light, he can clearly recognize everyone's face.
Especially the old man who sat at the back and was treated with dignity......
The patriarch will take a foot here, hide in the end and think that others can't see it? Heichen slightly curled the corners of his lips in the direction of the man, that smile was really creepy, and he always felt that there would be ominous bad luck that would befall them.
The old man felt the malice conveyed by Hei Chenqi's smile, and was startled, and then relaxed. His move made Hei Chenji even more sure that the next so-called trial was definitely a naked conspiracy.
"Smack, smack"
The sound of the gavel rang out, and though the council chamber had been quiet before, it was now so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
"The Trial Court ......"
After the long and boring opening remarks, Heichen listened patiently, and then the chief judge of the trial and the supreme leader of the trial court, Hohenzollern, began to speak.
"Ansel.melovin, do you know what this trial is about?"
"You can just say what you want to say, my body has just recovered, and I don't have the energy to listen to you make so many openings." Heichen looked straight at Hohenzollern, not at all afraid of the huge group of members behind him.
Hohenzollern didn't expect to see Hei Chenqi here again after ten years, his attitude was completely different, looking at his deep eyes, he must have calculated everything. In that case, he doesn't have to beat around the bush.
"Now that you already know...... Bring that person in. β
A circular crack protrudes from the circular floor in the center of the council chamber, and a cylindrical cage rises from which a blindfolded man is visible, his hands and feet chained.
Hei Chenqi turned around to look, although he had expected that he would see this person here, he didn't expect that these people would take this prisoner so seriously, sealing it layer by layer, and from this cage, it seemed that he was ascending from the heavily guarded dungeon.
"You guys are really making a fuss, and you need to work hard to guard a human being, and the court has already fallen?" Heichen sneered, but the people on the field were very able to control their emotions and did not cause a big noise.
"You don't have to change the subject, we know that this person is following your tracks. You know what kind of sin you commit by exposing our existence to people. Hohenzollern began to get into the subject, "If you can't argue for yourself, then ...... The court is going to judge you for the crimes you have committed. β
Let him say it directly, he really said it directly. So many actors have been arranged to sit there, and there is no performance at all, and they go straight to the point? Heichen couldn't reach the bottom of his eyes, the time hadn't come yet, and he was going to have a good time with these people.
