Hearthstone.

House of Elders of the Duchy of Vlad Kimir.

The elders sat on either side, with Grand Elder Raul at the top of the throne. The captain of the Bloody Guard stood in the middle of the hall, led by Philip and Soraka.

The status of the elder in the duchy is extremely high, and the Grand Elder Raul is a figure on an equal footing with the Grand Duke. Although the big and small affairs in the principality are still under the control of Duke Vlad Kimir, there are some special matters that are still decided by the elders of the House of Elders.

Grand Duke Vlad Kimir sits alone on the throne, a position that even Raul does not dare to covet.

Because of the dignity and orderliness, the Great Elder is only the Great Elder after all, and there is still only this one duke in this principality.

The Grand Duke's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was not looking. And that wandering gaze seemed to be looking into the distance.

The expressions of the elders around him were different, but there seemed to be a little bit of reproach in their eyes. And the captains of the Bloody Guards Standing on their faces were extremely relaxed, and they all looked like they had nothing to do with themselves.

Li Yanbei looked at this posture and suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.

I remember that back then, after Li Menghan's dead girl grabbed the Guardian Divine Beast of the Daode Sect and roasted it and ate it, she put a vat on her. At that time, the inquisition was much larger than the scale of the House of Elders, after all, the people who came to judge him were all big people, and their strength was far greater than that of this so-called Grand Duchy.

At that time, the master who was the leader of the Righteous Path Alliance of the Cultivation Realm was the Grand Duke's current appearance of wanting nothing, and the other six sect masters also had the current expression of the Bloody Guard. Only the expression of the sect master of the Daode Sect was not the same as everyone else, because the old guy's beard was crooked at that time, and he couldn't wait to come up and kick it when he saw it.

I remember that my fate was a little sad that time, because after the discussion of the sect masters, it was decided to hang him up with a bundle of immortal locks and beat him up first, and finally exiled to the claustrophobic abyss for fifteen years.

At that time, I was fortunate to have a teacher to protect my shortcomings, otherwise my fate might have been miserable.

Because Shizun, who was not ashamed, actually fell into the ground, saying that Li Yanbei, as the head of the sect, knew the law and violated the law, so he had to be punished heavily, and fifteen years was too short to face the wall, at least he had to be imprisoned for a hundred years.

As soon as the master mother heard this, she turned her face, and in front of everyone, she sacrificed a magic weapon and made a big fight, and she took off a lot of Shizun's beard, not to mention, and also beat the sect master of the Daode Sect who came to persuade him to fight.

The matter was so big that the Daode Sect Master's face couldn't be hanged. After all, the divine beast is dead, and there is no possibility of resurrection, so it is better to get some real compensation.

In the end, after Dao Xuanzong compensated Dao Dao Sect for tens of thousands of spirit stones, he also passed on the secret Dao Sect Seven Absolute Sword Sword Technique to Dao Dao Sect Sect Master, and this matter passed like this.

Li Yanbei narrowly escaped the catastrophe, but he was a little scared when he thought about it. It's nothing to be beaten down with his temperament, but if he is left to face the wall for a hundred years, I'm afraid he will go crazy.

Thinking of all the things back then, Li Yanbei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But it didn't matter if he smiled, the eyes of everyone in the hall of the Elders' House looked at him at this moment.

They really couldn't understand how this waste second son could still laugh in the face of such a situation.

Don't he know that today is the final judgment against him?

This sneer was particularly harsh in the ears of Grand Elder Raul, because Li Yanbei's laughter represented his indifference at the moment.

"Baron Roy. ”

Raul's face was unusually gloomy.

"Do you think it's funny?"

Li Yanbei was slightly stunned, and then looked at the Great Elder with a blue face.

"Great Elder. ”

The smile lines at the corners of the mouth have not diminished at all, but have become more and more intense.

"Does our House of Elders have a rule that says don't let you laugh?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned.

And Grand Duke Vlad Kimir, who was sitting in the middle, couldn't help but look stunned.

He thought that his second son would admit his mistake in fear, and he also thought that he would stand at a loss on the spot, but he never thought that Roy, who had been submissive for more than 20 years, would reply so calmly.

And the other party is still the elder Raul who he has been afraid of since he was a child.

Seeing this, the Grand Duke no longer pretended to be empty-eyed, he lowered his gaze and carefully looked at his second son in front of him.

I saw a light smile on the corner of Li Yanbei's mouth, and his face was unusually calm.

And the waist pole is unusually tall when standing with his hands down, and his gestures seem to exude an extremely impressive bearing.

Judging from the eyes of the Grand Duke who has read countless people for more than 200 years, his second son seems to have suddenly become very unusual.

It's become something I can't even imagine.

However, Grand Elder Raul didn't notice Li Yanbei's change, because the slightly ridiculous words just now had already blown up his lungs.

After all, this waste will tremble every time he sees him, and he will be so frightened that he can't wait to find a crack to shrink into. But today he actually openly laughed at himself, still in this solemn elder's house.

He wanted to explode, but he knew that now was never the time to be angry.

Because if he gets angry now, he may cause something to happen in the future.

"Humph!"

I saw Raul suppress the anger in his heart, and said lightly,

"There's no such rule, but I think Baron Roy can still laugh at this situation, and it's really heartless to get home. ”

Hearing this, Li Yanbei was slightly stunned.

He was about to open his mouth to reply, but he heard a deep, extremely negative magnetic voice coming from him.

"Great Elder, this is the House of Elders, not your backyard, please be careful about your identity when you speak. ”

In this Vla's Kimir family, Li Yanbei rarely heard someone speak for himself. He followed the voice and looked over, and saw that the Grand Duke's face was as unhappy as ever.

Li Yanbei bowed slightly and nodded at the Grand Duke. And the Grand Duke looked away, as if unwilling to face him.

"Huh. ”

Grand Elder Raul laughed instead of being angry.

"The lesson of the Duke is that this is the House of Elders, neither the back garden of my house, nor the dining table of anyone's father and son, and the drama of Lao Tzu picking up his son for thousands of miles can be sung at home, but don't get it to such a serious occasion. ”

As he spoke, the Grand Duke's face instantly became gloomy.

Since he personally picked up Li Yanbei the day before yesterday, there have been a lot of whispers in the family.

No one expected that the Grand Duke would personally go out to pick up Roy, a waste, and they didn't expect that the Grand Duke was such a person who cared about family affection.

In fact, there is a father in the world who doesn't love his child? It's just that Roy is so disappointing that everyone speculates about the Grand Duke's true thoughts.

Everyone thought that the Grand Duke didn't like Roy either, but the facts in front of them slapped them hard.

"Hmph. ”

When the Duke heard this, he snorted softly.

"The Great Elder said very much, being a person should indeed be upright, and it is indeed a loss of identity to use such indiscriminate means of locking the soul and torturing it to benefit personal feelings. ”

"Eli's personal feelings?"

The Great Elder smiled coldly.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with using some tactics on prisoners, and besides, the soul locking is just a guarantee of safety. ”

"Is it foolproof?"

Duke Vlad Kimir also smiled coldly.

"But it seems unruly to use such a method against an imperial baron!"

"Baron?"

The Great Elder scoffed.

"Do you think that after today, Baron Roy of our Duchy of Vlad Kimir will still exist?"

Shaking his head mockingly, the Great Elder continued,

"Count the days, the decree of the Demon Emperor will arrive today, I am afraid that our principality will only have your Roy II son in the future, and there will be no more Baron Roy. ”

Hearing this, the Grand Duke's eyes narrowed slightly.

The essence that shot out of that eye was full of murderous aura, and it shot at Grand Elder Raul with impunity.

The-for-tat words of the two made the atmosphere in the hall of the Elders' House suddenly tense.

Everyone closed their mouths in amusement and watched the confrontation between the two.

But after hearing the words of Grand Elder Raul, Li Yanbei was suddenly stunned.

He asked with a look of confusion on his face.

"What do you mean by that, Great Elder?"

"What do you mean!"

Grand Elder Raul snorted coldly.

"Do you know what this council of elders means today?"

Li Yanbei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then asked cautiously.

"I guess it's really going to strip me of my title. ”

Grand Elder Raul sneered, and Grand Duke Vlad Kimir also frowned slightly.

The Grand Duke knew that according to His Majesty the Demon Emperor's past behavior, Roy's title would definitely not be kept, but what he didn't expect was that his second son cared so much about this title.

Because of Li Yanbei's expression, it already says everything.

In fact, the Grand Duke didn't know that Li Yanbei's expression was not because of the gain or loss of the title, but because of the proportion of the baron every month.

That's hundreds of silver coins, it's Li Yanbei's iron rice bowl.

He refining weapons and alchemy, so he didn't need a lot of money to support it? If he took away his title, wouldn't it be a big loss?

"Great Elder!"

Li Yanbei's face was slightly anxious.

"Let's be reasonable, you convicted me and said that it was ineffective prevention and control, but Brand did not have any civilians killed because of this, and you said that I left my post without permission, and I will admit it, after all, it didn't cause much chaos, but it took away my title so unclearly......"

Li Yanbei is not anxious about his position, he is really worried about his money.

But before he could finish his words, the Grand Duke suddenly waved his hand.

"Roy, don't say it. It's just a barony, we don't want it. ”

In the heart of the Grand Duke, he had already confirmed the fact that Li Yanbei was taken away from the title.

Because he was well aware of the strength of the Elder's House, and he also knew the Demon Emperor's opinion on this matter.

But when Li Yanbei heard this, it was a dish.

He really didn't want to lose his iron job like this.

"Can we discuss ...... again?"

"His Highness Roy. ”

Grand Elder Raul smiled darkly.

"Actually, your greatest sin is not to leave your post without permission, and we don't bother to bother with the death of a few civilians. ”

Staring straight at Li Yanbei, Raul said slowly,

"What we care about is that you haven't made a friendship with that mysterious doctor!"

The coldness in his eyes became heavier and heavier, and Grand Elder Raul's words directly hit the point.

"This is indirectly harming the interests of our principality, and it is also a serious dereliction of duty on your part as a baron!"

All the elders and the ten Bloody Guard Captains present were shocked in their hearts, and they all seemed to suddenly realize the seriousness of this matter.

They all knew very well how much benefit the friendship of a fourth-order physician would bring to the principality.

Everyone looked at Li Yanbei in unison, and their eyes were full of questions.

But Li Yanbei didn't have time to care about everyone's eyes, because Grand Elder Raul's words directly made his head 'buzz'.

"What?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Mysterious ......"

"Lord Doctor?"
