Chapter 204: The Proclamation of Perdition
readx;? The sudden news caused an uproar in the hall. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.infoβ‘Ξ©81 In the midst of this noise, Ms. Amanda declared to the audience in a very careful and serious voice: "More than 400 years ago, after Charles the Great recovered this northern region, our ancestors established this city from a land ravaged by demons, and it has continued to prosper for more than 400 years. However, today, after too long of peace, the Northern Regions has reached the moment of life and death. β
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not alarmist. She deliberately accentuated her voice, suppressing all the noise and discussion, causing the entire hall to echo with a voice that belonged to her alone: "According to the record of this notebook. More than fifty years ago, the infamous Black Balance Society established a huge research institute underground and outside the Northern Regions, hiding the annual demon tide underground and conducting evil and secret research. β
"And the greatest achievement they have achieved in this institute is the greatest threat to the city right nowβ" At this point, she looked around at the people present, and in the most serious tone, exhaled a cold wind that caused the temperature of the entire hall to plummet: "A man-made scourge placed under the northern city - Assasis, the ruler of the leylines. β
A chill like winter froze the entire hall in an instant, causing everyone present to fall into a deathly silence. And when the ice shattered, a loud noise resounded through the dome. Doubts and horrors, panic and fear, these negative and violent emotions overflowed from the cracks in the hall almost instantly.
Ian let go of his consciousness at this moment, staring at the mood swings of everyone present. He wanted to try to find the undercover agent who was hiding among the crowd by sensing emotions. Unfortunately, the mood swings in the hall were so chaotic and violent that he could barely sift through them.
At this moment, Viscount Zangwill Joyce, who was sitting on the throne, stood up and shouted to everyone in the hall: "Silence! All of you present are nobles of the Empire, elites of the world, and you are not ashamed to be so frightened for a news that has not yet been confirmed?"
When the discussion became quieter, he turned his gaze to Lady Amanda and asked in a questioning tone, "Our honorable Warden, perhaps the notes you have brought contain such news, but you must know that everything you say is very important after all, and we cannot believe everything with just one note. I wonder if you have any other evidence in your hands?"
As these words fell, everyone turned their eyes to Amanda's place again. Their faces were still pale and frightened, and their eyes revealed the hope that Ms. Amanda would not be able to produce evidence.
Naturally, Madam Amanda saw the ugliness of the group of people who wanted to deceive themselves, and she sneered and declared to the others, "Naturally, I have other evidence. How could such a huge underground laboratory be easily covered up. It wasn't long ago that we had specific information about the entrance to the lab. β
"Where's the entrance?" someone asked anxiously. However, Ms. Amanda chuckled at this question and turned to the people present and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, who do you think I got this notebook from, and where did I get the specific information about the underground laboratory?"
"This ......" Everyone in the hall couldn't help but look at each other. In fact, before this, all their minds had been drawn by the news of the natural disaster, and they had indeed forgotten about this extremely important issue. It's just that just when someone wanted to ask, Ms. Amanda had already sneered and asked again.
"As early as nearly a month ago, the Grand Duke of Lanceveen sent an investigation team to investigate the cause of the earthquake, I wonder if you still have any impressions?"
"Yes, of course we remember that. It's just that they ......" Viscount Joyce chuckled, and then suddenly asked, "You mean that they have returned, and it is this investigation team that brought back this information?"
"Yes, they completed their mission, found the cause of the earthquake, and brought back this appalling news. Ms. Amanda nodded and announced, "The source of the earthquake in the Northern Regions is Asathys. It was the awakening of this man-made natural disaster that caused two unprecedented earthquakes. And what the Black Scales Club wants to do is to awaken Assharis and make it break away from the ground beneath our feet, and finally destroy the city!"
There was an uproar in the hall again, the nobles exchanged words and discussions, and the whole venue was once again overwhelmed by panic.
"Where are the members of the investigation team now?" someone asked what everyone thought. This group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death are eager to know the first-hand news.
"Only one person has returned, and he is currently seriously injured. For the sake of his life, I beg your pardon for not being able to tell you where he is. β
"Why, Lady Amanda?" said Earl Dalre, dissatisfied, "do you think that among you here there are spies of the Black Balance Society?"
"It's not that I think it's ......" Lady Amanda deliberately lowered her tone and shot her sharp gaze straight in the direction of Count Dale: "...... But here, among all of you present at this moment, there are indeed spies of the Black Balance Society!"
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
"Lady Amanda, are you crazy?"
Everyone's faces changed, and they could hardly believe that Ms. Amanda, who had always been strict, could say such words. Voices of discussion and skepticism filled the hall, and even though Viscount Joyce shouted "Silence!" several times, it was to no avail.
"Lady Amanda!" Viscount Joyce turned his head, "What made you come to such a conclusion?" You must know that almost all of you here are the upper echelons of the Northern Regions, wantonly questioning and slandering the reputation of the superior nobles, even if you are the warden of the Northern Regions, I am afraid you cannot afford such a responsibility. β
"Viscount Joyce, and all of you here. Lady Amanda raised her voice, and when everyone turned their eyes to her, she asked expressionlessly, "Have you ever thought that the earthquake has been there twice, which means that Asharthys has woken up twice?" If the Black Balance wants to destroy the Northern Regions with Asasius, why didn't they carry out this plan when they first woke up, but instead let Asathys fall asleep again?"
"If they're waiting for the right moment, when exactly are they going to destroy the North?" )
