After the Golden Rose attack, a few more days passed, and the academy seemed to be quieter. But this is different for ordinary students, who suddenly raise the alarm, and nothing happens (although there are casualties among the guards, how many students will care) and it is over, so that they have more to talk about.

And this is different for those who know about the Golden Rose, who know the Rose Division, both inside and outside the academy are silent.

But this can only deter most people, and - at least one more. She doesn't have the same strength as the Golden Rose, but she has the "potential" that allows her to dare to challenge anyone's "potential".

On this very day, Edward was summoned by the "Council of the Elderly".

Edward was summoned to the city's multi-purpose hall, which could be used not only for plays and concerts, but also for symposia and conferences. And now, with more than seventy "commissioners" seated in the surrounding audience, Edward stood alone on the stage as if he had been judged.

The so-called "committee members" are members of the "Council of the Elderly", which represents the 48 countries of the world, and is both the superior organ of the executive department of the night club and the official advisor of the academy management consultant recognized by the Association of Magicians. They don't have any great rights. The appointment of the head of the college is in the hands of the British government, which controls the budget, and the choice of professors and the decision on teaching planning are the autonomy of the college.

However, this does not mean that their intentions can be ignored. Without the help of the Commissioners, it would not have been possible to bring the best of the world to the UK. For the future survival of the Academy. Their support is indispensable.

Britain did not dare to despise them, and Edward did not dare to make them unhappy, and now he could not help but feel his throat dry.

The division band played a loud wind music - this is the proud Karakuri division of the United Kingdom, all of which use Karakuri puppets as the main combat force, and the total number of men and machines is more than 36,000, which is the strongest army in the empire.

At this time, they not only came to the band, but the hall was full of their elites inside and outside. Not only can it really protect the safety of the "commissioner", but it will also give Edward nowhere to escape.

Of course, as long as Edward doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. Their main task is to protect. Including Edward's safety.

As the music played, the Commander appeared on the top floor of the auditorium. It was a beautiful woman. Although he is over 30 years old, he has not seen aging. Thick eyelashes hang down from the slender blue eyes, and the dazzling blonde hair shines brightly. She wears a white military uniform decorated with gold satin. He also wears a broad-bladed sword that clearly contains magical powers.

Who this person is. Edward was clear.

She is the Speaker of the "Council of the Elderly". He is also the supreme leader of the Karakuri Division, commonly known as General Gloria. However, no one usually calls her that, and she is usually called her other identity - Princess Gloria. In the case of the assassination of the king and the flight of the black prince. In the whole of the United Kingdom, she has the most right to speak.

"Salute Her Royal Highness Princess Gloria!"

The honor guard gave an order, and the soldiers, the commissars, and even the puppets greeted her with the most respectful etiquette.

"Not necessarily. I am here today not as a princess, but as a commander. ”

Gloria announced, and walked down the stairs and sat down in the front seat.

This creates a composition from the top of the stage looking down on the stage, which is also a great pressure for Edward.

However, Edward was aware of Gloria's other identity, the Silver Rose of the Rose Division, and that was one of the people he had to deal with. Although he was nervous and cautious, he didn't see much fear.

"You may be seated, Head Rutherford."

After Rutherford saluted solemnly, he sat down alone, alone.

Originally, he could also come with another authority figure from the academy, but this time the convening was very anxious (limited to him), so he had to come alone.

And this also made Edward more calm. The Golden Rose incident also served as a deterrent to Gloria, otherwise it would be a bit unruly to let him come alone for a meeting of this scale. Edward was not even more worried about his own safety, because he knew that Wu Jian's Underworld Warrior would definitely come to protect him. Although he hadn't seen how much strength the Pluto Fighter had shown, judging from Tian Yingxing's performance, the Pluto Fighter who protected (monitored) him was only strong and not weak.

"I'm sorry to call you here during this emergency. I should have prepared a more relaxing place, but I can't wait for you. ”

Gloria's words made Edward almost unable to help but sneer.

Don't be funny, who is this bluffing?

All this is clearly the result of careful preparation. In any case, this has brought together all the committee members, even the envoys of the countries who did not send students to study this year. Not to mention, I started preparing a month ago, but if I summoned him, I was a little anxious, probably Gloria also wanted to settle everything while Wu Jian was away.

In any case, if the backbone is not there, the power left by Wu Jian should not do anything too out of the ordinary. At least the on-the-spot change will be relatively weak, and of course the strength will be weak, although this is also a fact, regardless of whether it depends on whether Gloria really has this ability.

Edward sneered in his heart, but said: "A lot of things have happened during this extraordinary period, which has made you worry about the elderly, it is really Edward's fault. ”

"No, I haven't been out of Windsor Castle for a long time, and the world has become too noisy. There are many people who rebel against the authority of the empire - in the end, the dog does not know the height of the sky, which is really shameful. I'm causing you trouble, too. ”

"The princess is serious, and she really doesn't dare to be under it."

"Presumably the academy is also quite chaotic. Did the night party go well? ”

"That's nature."

It's unnatural to think about it, there was something that made the night meeting have to be interrupted before, and the night meeting has not been held again until now, and it is really thanks to Edward that he can assert it without shame.

And these words really lifted the curtain of this parliament.

"What a nobody"

"Shameless."

"He should be questioned more harshly."

The whispers of the commissioners were heard. It seems that they are already furious. And the attack on Edward is also about to begin.

"Well, then, let's listen to the commissioners in turn—starting from there."

Gloria casually pointed to someone, and indeed started with that person, but without giving Edward the slightest chance to reply, she asked one question after another.

"How is it possible that there is no problem with the course of the night meeting!? The grounds are gone, and they haven't been repaired yet! ”

"And I heard that someone attacked the academy a few days ago, I don't know how you fought off the invaders, but since the night meeting was held, is there too much trouble?"

"Such a troublesome night party is unprecedented! And to this day. Even the 'ogre' riots haven't been resolved - how many missing people have been left unattended? The same goes for the disappearance of people caused by the Black Prince's rebellion before. ”

"That's right! It all started with him, their appearance! I've heard that 'second-to-last' and 'first-to-last' have poor results. Are they impartial? ”

"Besides, there are too many people who form a partisanship, right? This is unheard of, and it is really unsightly that dozens of glove holders at the night party are in a group. You know, the night party is used to select the only best magician! ”

"There are too many exceptions for this night meeting. It's hard to imagine that it can correctly select the Demon King. ”

"That's right. It should be repeated starting with the selection of glove holders. ”

"Let's not talk about that yet. But it's necessary to start over from the first night. ”

In the beginning. The "commissioners" could still question and impeach Edward normally, but within two sentences, their true purpose was revealed - to reset the night party and get Wu Jian out of the field.

"I'm sorry for your opinions. It's really not worth hearing. ”

Edward's simple words made the audience quiet.

this

He was dealing with delegates and ambassadors, and their attitudes were crucial to his own position. It's just a rebuttal, it's such a disdainful tone, what kind of backing is there? This left everyone speechless.

"Isn't that an insult to the meeting? Please explain it to the elders. ”

In the silent auditorium, Gloria's voice rang out. To be honest, Edward was surprised that she didn't fall into the trap.

However, Edward was quickly relieved, and Gloria must have understood that these questions of the "commissioners" were not trivial at all, and asked him to explain in an attempt to find a flaw in his words.

"Yes." Edward owed, then looked up at the "commissioners" and explained, "The 'penultimate one' selection is correct. As for the proof, he is still in the night party. This is the ironclad proof that he has the qualifications to become a demon king. Rather, he's already in King's Landing. The birth of various parties is precisely to deal with him, an absolute powerhouse! Isn't the night party used to select the most powerful 'Demon King'? Isn't it making people laugh that everyone still doubts his qualifications? ”

The moment he said this, Edward only felt that the pressure had been reduced - it wasn't from the "commissioners", they couldn't have let him go like this. Rather, it came from somewhere behind him, so that Gloria and all the elites of the Karakuri Regiment present could not detect the breath.

Edward's words also made the "committee members" speechless, and the night meeting was indeed a place to select the strong, and they also knew very well what Wu Jian's strength was.

"The rights and wrongs of forming a party are also on the agenda, but popularity and scheming are also one of the talents of magicians. Besides, there have been precedents of cooperation in the past, and this is not an exception. ”

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and there was a lot of discussion, but now no one preemptively asked Edward questions.

One of the "committee members" made eye contact with Gloria, coughed and asked, "So, here are the questions about the repeated vicious incidents." Previously, the clock tower was destroyed, revealing a large hole. As far as I know, there was no such thing when the college was located. There was also an attack on the academy the other day, and there was intelligence that it was to get something from there. These reasons all seem to point to your 'extremely dense research'. ”

"If I had been doing extremely dense research, I wouldn't have been caught so easily. Not to mention. There was already an underground cavity there. The reason why the clock tower was built on it, rather than the teaching building or dormitory building, was also a safety concern. If I want to do secret research, why not in a sparsely populated place? The academy is so big. ”

Edward didn't even raise an eyebrow, and put on an unaware expression, mostly facing Gloria, who had been staring at Edward's face.

However, Edward's words were not completely flawless, and the "commissioner" wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gloria.

"There's nothing wrong with this night party, that's what you say, right?" Gloria asked, smiling.

"Exactly. No matter how many times you do it all over again. The winner will not change. And. There are also physical constraints. If the 'Year of Eclipse' ends, it will have to wait another four years. ”

Edward hesitated, what seemed wrong with that?

And this answer seemed to make Gloria very satisfied, and she stood up and declared to the "commissioners": "It seems that this matter. It's still the dean of the house who said it. ”

As soon as these words came out. Edward's heart jumped.

Wrong! This is a trap!?

Edward's head raced. At this pace, this plot should still follow Gloria's meaning.

Her purpose wasn't to abolish him as the head of the house, nor was she to reset the Night Club. The purpose of this parliament should only be to get the "commissioners" to vent their grievances. Save their face and use it to advance their own ends.

And Gloria's purpose is also beneficial to the "commissioners", and that should be

"Then let's move on to the next topic. Please give the 'penultimate one' and his accomplices to the Imperial Army. ”

Really!! The purpose is Wu Jian, and she should also know about Wu Jian's absence. She probably planned to eradicate Wu Jian's power first, and then use this to completely control the academy and the night meeting. It's a pity that the "commissioners" are used by her and don't know what to do, and they think they can get a favor from this woman.

"This is really a sudden request, dare you ask why?" Edward asked unhurriedly.

"The pride of our Imperial Army, Lieutenant General Raikkonen, is the crime of driving him to his death."

"Oh? This is the first time I've heard that Lieutenant General Raikkonen has temporarily withdrawn because of the students' voluntary resistance. I remember he left the academy at that time. ”

Edward was talking nonsense with his eyes open, after all, it happened not far from the academy, and even some of the students were about to find bloodstains, so he had no reason not to know.

"It's good that you don't know, to be exact, it should be 'no news at all' - after fighting with Wu Jian and his gang."

"It's true that there have been confrontations, but"

"Evidence is needed, right, but he is also a suspect now, so it is necessary to control it and interrogate it - this is the arrest warrant."

Gloria unfolded a parchment scroll, and Edward didn't even have to look at it. With her identity, getting an arrest warrant is not an easy matter? And this is completely an excuse, I'm afraid that more than 10,000 Karakuri divisions have been deployed around the academy, ready to attack at any time.

"Edward. Rutherford, in order to take care of the autonomy of the college, I will give two hours of my time. If the time is up, my Karakuri regiment will attack the academy. But, to avoid suspicion, you might as well stay here. ”

With that, Gloria turned and left, leaving behind the "Commissioners" and enough troops to keep an eye on Edward.

If it had been before, Edward would have stopped Gloria and made a fool of himself. But he only had a sneer in his heart, Gloria was in a hurry, and if the information could be more accurate, he would not take such a self-defeating action.

Edward was certain that Gloria did not know the details of the defeat of the Golden Rose. The battle ended so quickly that even now he felt like he was dreaming. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't understand that Wu Jian's power is unmatched.

Although Gloria, the Rose Division, also had many eyes and ears in the academy, it was certainly not time to find out about the situation at that time. Even if there are some Zhilu Dao, but because of various considerations, no one outside the academy knows that the Golden Rose of the Dao is any fiasco.

The Karakuri Division is the most important combat force of the British Empire, and it can be said that they are the enemy of the whole of Britain. But just like Raikkonen's concerns before, in the face of Wu Jian's and gang's overly powerful force, it is not something that can be dealt with by military strength alone.

At least—it's more than enough to assassinate you, Gloria!

It was almost torn apart, and Edward didn't care about anything anymore, sneering at Gloria's back and disappearing into the doorway.

Moreover, the other person you ignore, you also underestimate him too much. Be careful if you get a backbite.

The old god Edward sat back in his chair on the ground, and made eye contact with the group of "committee members". Although Gloria is gone, it doesn't mean that they won't be angry with Edward. At the very least, if he can be relented and plead, it will also be good for the "commissioners".

At this time, the academy also fell into a wonderful atmosphere because the head of the academy was taken away, and Luo Cuilian and the others certainly gathered. And this time the people are very uniform, and it doesn't look weaker than the council on Edward's side.

And Xia Er, Anliet, and their father, Edgar, who should have been locked up. Birao was also respectfully cross-examined. It looks like it's the same as Edward. However, one is to actively resist, and the other is to actively cooperate. Now that the Golden Rose was easily caught, there was no reason for Edgar not to cooperate. (To be continued......)
