Volume 2 Pointing the way to the country, Edgeworth is riding the wind. Chapter 105: Truth
"Because of a dead thing, he went and took the life of the living......
A cold light flashed in Li Yanbei's indifferent eyes, and the corners of his slightly raised mouth were full of disdain.
"Could it be that all the elders here have let the donkey kick their heads?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the hall at first, and then it set off an uproar.
"Bold! It's just a zero-order waste of dark power, and he dares to speak out!"
"Roy, do you know what you're talking about!"
"Don't forget, you're just an heir, and you don't control the entire duchy. ”
"Even if the Duke doesn't dare to speak to us like this, what are you!"
"Silence! Silence! Ten years of silence for this arrogant boy! Let him learn how to speak in prison!"
The sound was loud and loud, and everyone was angry.
The elders here, who is not a figure with a face in the principality? Being scolded by Li Yanbei like this, even the Grand Duke here could not stop their outburst of anger.
Looking at the elders who were becoming more and more irritable, the Grand Duke was at a loss for a while.
And Li Yanbei stood there like a person who had nothing to do, with a casual look on his face.
Li Yanbei's attitude made everyone's anger even stronger. They roared excitedly, as if they were eager to tear Li Yanbei to pieces.
There was such a scene, and the Great Elder was not angry but happy.
Because offending all the elders present is equivalent to offending the entire House of Elders. And offending the House of Elders would be tantamount to despising the prestige of His Majesty the Demon Emperor.
On this Dark Light Continent, disrespecting the Demon Emperor is tantamount to self-destruction, because on this continent, the Demon Emperor is equivalent to half of the void.
Originally, Grand Elder Raul thought that today's matter was like this, with the presence of the Grand Duke, he could not do anything about this hateful waste, at most, he used the Elders' House and the iron laws of the Duchy to force the Grand Duke to kill Fiona.
But he never imagined that things would develop into the current situation. This waste guy is so uncountable that he dares to make the entire House of Elders an enemy. Did he think that he had hired a dark curtain and could walk sideways in the Duchy of Vladkimir?
Thinking of this, the anger in the Great Elder's heart completely dissipated, and he stared at Li Yanbei coldly, all in his mind was how to put this damn guy to death.
The Grand Duke didn't expect his son to be so arrogant, and all the elders of the Duchy who were not present scolded him in a word.
He was well aware of the seriousness of this matter, and he also knew that the current situation was no longer under his control.
But now is not the time to sit still and wait for death, and we must find a way to calm the anger of the elders. If not, with his son's rude words alone, he will be thrown into the abyss by Raul, who is watching from the sidelines, and will be pushed into the abyss from which he will never recover.
Regarding the House of Elders, His Majesty the Demon Emperor has had a holy oracle. That is the House of Elders of the Four Kingdoms and the Duchy, all of which are directly subordinate to the Demon Emperor. It has both the convenience of arbitrariness and the right to cut first and then play. Anyone who dares to defy the majesty of the House of Elders is guilty of great disrespect.
If it is an ordinary person, then the House of Elders can make its own decisions on how to deal with the disrespectful. And if it is those princes and nobles, the House of Elders can also directly report to the Demon Emperor for a judgment.
Thinking of this, the Grand Duke frowned fiercely.
He looked at Grand Elder Raul, but saw that his eyes were fierce and his face was gloomy.
The Grand Duke secretly screamed badly, for he knew that the old man must have some vicious trick in his heart.
The angry scolding of the elders sounded in his ears, and Li Yanbei turned a deaf ear.
He folded his hands and looked at the passionate crowd provocatively.
Looking at Li Yanbei, whose face did not change, the corners of Grand Elder Raul's eyes twitched a few times.
But the next moment, he had a flash of inspiration, and an extremely vicious idea appeared in his mind.
"Be still!"
Raul stepped forward and spoke.
"Calm your anger, elders, and listen to me. ”
Raul's voice wasn't loud, but it was unusually deep. And the House of Elders is his territory, and his authority here is unquestionable.
Sure enough, his voice made the noisy hall suddenly quiet.
All the elders looked at the Great Elder in unison, their faces full of questions.
Seeing that everyone stopped scolding, the corners of Raul's mouth raised slightly.
I don't know if he was satisfied with his authority in the House of Elders, or if he was because of the poisonous scheme in his head.
"Your Highness Roy, since you want to be reasonable, then I will reason with you. ”
Raul looked at Li Yanbei, and then said slowly,
"Although the Fire Bat Mark is only a dead thing, I will not be unclear to you about its value. There are only three holy relics in the principality, and in the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince, there are only seven or eight holy relics, and its rarity can be imagined. ”
Seeing Raul's condescending manner, the Grand Duke shuddered slightly.
After so many years with him, the Duke was well aware of Raul's character.
He must have some kind of trick up his sleeve when he was acting like this now.
But Li Yanbei didn't bother to pay attention to what tricks Raul was going to play, in his eyes, this big elder was tantamount to a clown who was grandstanding.
"Oh?"
Li Yanbei pursed his lips.
"What do you want to say, Great Elder?"
Raul smiled faintly.
"It's nothing, it's just a matter of reasoning with your Highness Roy. ”
Turning to look at the elders, Raul said impassionedly,
"You know, now the two empires of Darklight are living in peace on the surface, but no one dares to guarantee when a big war will start. If there really is a national war one day, and we lose a holy relic in vain, then who will be responsible for the losses caused. ”
As soon as these words came out, the disdain on Li Yanbei's face slowly dissipated.
"The relics will be destroyed one day, and Fiona used the fire bat mark when she saved me. I'm the future lord of the principality, can't I use it to save me?"
Grand Elder Raul chuckled lightly.
"Your Highness Roy, there is one thing I would like you to remember. ”
staring at Li Yanbei deadly, Raul's eyes flashed with a little ruthlessness.
"The title of Duke exists for the Principality, and the Principality does not have only one duke. Sacrificing for the people of the principality was originally the duke's duty and responsibility. ”
"Good. ”
Li Yanbei sneered, and then said,
"Then I want to ask you, if the national war is together, it is important to be a low-level holy relic, or a duke-level master. ”
Before the Great Elder could speak, Deputy Commander Soraka on the side took over.
"Knowingly, if it is a big battle, it is naturally a ninth-order powerhouse who can play a more important role in influencing the situation of the battle. ”
Hearing this, Li Yanbei said lightly,
"Then who of you dares to guarantee that Fiona will not become a ninth-order master in the future?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Soraka was stunned, but all the elders were also shocked.
It's not because of anything else, it's just because what Li Yanbei said was a bit too big.
In the Dark Light Continent, ninth-order masters were rare, and even the talented Heavenly Masters did not dare to say that they could break through the barriers and reach the ninth-order.
Just like Great Elder Raul, he was already at the peak of the Eighth Order two hundred years ago, but after these two hundred years, he still hasn't broken through.
But then again, no one can guarantee whether Fiona can reach the ninth order.
Although this seems a little distant and unrealistic, as long as you are a cultivator, you will have a chance to reach the ninth order.
Because there is no absolute success in this world, and there is no absolute failure.
Li Yanbei's sharp words made Raul's face sink.
"Whether the Ninth Order is too far away or not, but for now, she is not, so her life naturally cannot be compared to the Fire Bat Seal. ”
Li Yanbei sneered twice.
"One is a holy relic that will be consumed and damaged, and the other is a genius who has the opportunity to become a ninth-order genius, and it is more important for you to compare dead things with living lives!"
Raul lifted his chin slightly.
"Reaching the Ninth Order Ethereal, I don't think anyone present would think that she would succeed. And the fire bat mark is a real holy thing, so compared to the two, only Fiona apologizes for her sins with death!"
Hearing Raul's words, Li Yanbei suddenly fell silent.
He looked out the window at the blue sky, only to feel that the faint sunlight was a little dazzling.
It was as if he had fallen into a memory from a long time ago, and as if he had remembered something that made him unforgettable.
I saw him staring at the void quietly, his face was gloomy.
"Alas......"
After a long time, he suddenly let out a long sigh.
"I didn't expect that everything I saw and heard here was still so boring. ”
A compassionate gaze swept over everyone, and Li Yanbei's face was gloomy.
"Treasures, profits, money, power, all these things are still the ultimate goal that everyone yearns for. ”
Li Yanbei smiled bitterly, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth seemed to be a little tired.
"A dead thing, perhaps something that rots in a certain space, can still replace a living life. But have you ever thought that maybe what you're chasing may seem so ridiculous to some people? ”
Li Yanbei's words at this time made everyone a little confused.
But Li Yanbei didn't pay attention to what happened to everyone, because he really didn't bother to pay attention.
"Fiona. ”
Li Yanbei opened his mouth slightly, and his eyes locked on Fiona.
And Fiona didn't know why, but at this moment she was respectfully in debt.
"Son... Lord Viscount......"
She didn't know that she would be like this, but the aura that emanated from Li Yanbei's body suddenly made her feel happy and convinced.
Li Yanbei looked at Fiona quietly, and her face finally calmed down.
"After following me for more than a year, I have never taught you anything. But today, I have decided to teach you something, even if it is to repay you for the payment you have been giving me for more than a year. ”
Fiona was a little puzzled, she looked up at Li Yanbei, only to find that Li Yanbei's eyes were burning towards her.
"Big... My lord?"
Li Yanbei smiled lightly.
"Although I only have one sentence to teach you, please remember it well. ”
The smile slowly dissipated, and there was a hint of solemnity on his face.
"There are thousands of ways in the world, so there are thousands of truths. ”
If the truth is compatible, it can be led to a thousand cups of fellowship. ”
"If the truth is contrary to the truth, it is not the ......"
Li Yanbei glanced at the Great Elder, and suddenly exuded a deep aura of danger from his body.
"Then whoever has a hard fist is the truth!"
