Chapter 270:, Shocking Reversal!
Just when Ye Chui killed the snake-haired Yulun with two punches and won the trial of the martial arts, the magnates of the empire, the princes, and the random magic guild left the Dragon's Nest Mountain and came to the meeting hall of the Red Castle.
Persian Li, the inheritor of the Xiangwang, originally wanted to go to the council hall with him, but was unceremoniously rejected by the old emperor.
"The council hall is a place for the Star Empire to discuss confidential matters, and outsiders have no right to enter!" The old emperor rejects Persian Li domineeringly, although he looks old and fat, but he is also a very majestic emperor, and when he speaks, he directly ignores the black waiter's eyes as if he wants to kill.
Persian looked annoyed and left with the black attendant.
In the council hall, the old emperor sat in the middle seat, and the chancellor of the exchequer was trembling and pleading in his ear, but in the end the old emperor directly waved his hand to interrupt him, and after greeting Prince Geller, Prince Geller immediately asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to take away.
"Go to his house and search me, and I won't be able to pull down a penny of the gambling money he owes. Prince Geller commanded that this was basically the equivalent of a raid.
This big gamble will inevitably cause changes in some power institutions in the imperial capital, ordinary civilians have bet a lot, but most of them are insignificant, but those big families have made heavy bets, often tens of thousands of gold coins, and the bets are so big, it can only be said that Ye Chui has offended too many people on the way from Fengyan City to the imperial capital, and everyone can't wait to see him finish quickly......
Now it's just cheaper, Ye Hang and the Anduin family.
The already down-and-out family is now back in the forefront of the Imperial Family, and even when they were recruited into the council hall, the head of the Anduin family, Hoin, was brought over, and now he is huddled in a corner with his daughters Dani and Jacob - he should be used to such occasions, because the Anduin family will inevitably face this kind of gathering of powerful people in the future.
After sending away the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Prince Geller smiled, looked at Ye Chui here, and said with a smile in his mouth: "We really enjoyed a wonderful duel just now, Ye Chui, you didn't disappoint me, I'll ...... it now"
As he said that, he dug his hand into his sleeve, where there was a scroll of information from the merger's union, which was a pleasant surprise.
But at this moment, the third prince with a gloomy face suddenly stood up: "Seventh Grandpa, please wait a minute!"
Everyone looked at the third prince.
"Although Ye Chui won the martial arts trial and cleared the charge of killing the ninth brother, but he destroyed the dragon soul array when he was just judged in the martial arts, and also let his summoned dragon devour the dragon soul, the dragon soul array is the secret land of the Star Empire, and this account has to be calculated with him!" The third prince said coldly, and his words were immediately echoed by several other princes such as the eldest prince, the fourth prince, and the tenth prince.
Destroying the Dragon Soul Array and devouring the Dragon Soul is indeed a bit excessive.
"Third child, it's okay if you don't talk about it, since you said it, I want to ask you......" Prince Geller's face also turned cold, "Why did you open the Dragon Soul Array without permission?" Ye Chui They only made a legitimate defense, and I think the main responsibility is still you, right?"
"Seventh Grandfather, the Dragon Soul Array was accidentally opened by my subordinates. The third prince was already ready to absolve himself, and he said indifferently, "As punishment, I have already killed them!"
Everyone's bodies trembled slightly, and everyone could see that the third prince deliberately wanted to embarrass Ye Chui before opening the Dragon Soul Array, and afterwards he decisively killed his subordinates and put the blame on them...... The name of the Ruthless Prince lives up to its name.
Prince Geller was also slightly stunned, what he didn't like the most was the third prince's temperament, seeing what the third prince was going to say, Prince Geller snorted coldly: " It is indeed a pity that the Dragon Soul Array was destroyed, but when Ye Chui and the others left Wind Rock City, I told them to carry out a seven-star mercenary mission, because the task is special, so I told them to do whatever they want at will, even if they commit heinous crimes, they will be pardoned by the Imperial Family, and now that this task has been completed, the punishment of destroying the Dragon Soul Array will naturally be pardoned!"
——This is the truth, Ye Chu originally thought of using Prince Geller's promise to offset the crime of sanitizing the death of the ninth prince, but the crime was originally unwarranted, Ye Chu did not want to touch this light, so he chose to conduct a competition trial, you want to frame me, you have to see if you have that ability.
Hearing Prince Geller's words, everyone present was stunned except for those in the know, Ye Chui They are on a seven-star mercenary mission?
The eldest prince stood up and asked in surprise, "Uncle Seven Emperors, what are they doing with the Seven Star Mission?"
Prince Geller did not answer, but looked at Ye Hang.
Ye Chui smiled, took out a task scroll, walked over and handed it to Prince Geller.
Prince Geller opened the scroll and read the message with ease—
"In the next half month, as the illegitimate son of the imperial family, divert the attention of the imperial family, endure their assassinations, attacks, and attacks, during this period, on behalf of the emperor, I pardon all your actions, you can do whatever you want at will, even if you commit heinous crimes, you will also be pardoned by the imperial family!"
Everyone present was stunned.
What shocked them the most was that as an illegitimate child of the royal family, this statement ......
"Ye Chui is not an illegitimate child, and his identity disguise is his task. Prince Geller swept over everyone, as if enjoying the look of surprise on everyone's faces, "And Ye Chui They also completed their task very well, it was originally scheduled for half a month, but they persisted for three months!"
"Uncle Seventh Emperor, what is the purpose of this mission?" the eldest prince asked in surprise.
"This is a secret, you don't need to know, you just need to know about it, and the fourth brother also knows about it. After speaking, Prince Geller looked at the old emperor, who nodded and confirmed Prince Geller's words.
"Now the name random magic guild has done this task perfectly. Prince Geller said in a loud voice, "Just this morning, I have confirmed with the employment union that this is a seven-star mission, and it is indeed worthy of the level of a seven-star mission, and after the certification of the chairman of the union, the current name is the Magic Guild, and it has officially obtained a five-star title!"
Prince Geller continued to say with a smile, and he handed the information scroll that he had taken out earlier to Ye Chui: "Congratulations, now your magic guild has become a five-star magic guild! You should also be the first magic guild to improve so quickly!"
Ye Fall, Debbie, Green, Raisa, Gunny, Jacob and Dini also showed surprise on their faces.
They were still a three-star guild when they left Stan Town, and after completing the six-star task of helping Cass rob their relatives, they obtained a four-star certification, and now that they have completed this seven-star task, their star level has been increased again, a five-star guild, which is already enough for a large guild to become famous in the entire empire!
Ordinary magic guilds, most of them do some tasks equivalent to their guild star ratings, three-star guilds will choose tasks that are not higher than three stars, and four-star guilds will also choose tasks that are no more than four stars, usually after completing three or four tasks with the same star level as the guild, they can get enough upgrade qualifications...... Only they dare to play like this!
In the ecstatic expressions of Ye Trai and the others, the other people who stood on the opposite side of Ye Trai showed extremely bitter expressions, they felt very complicated, the guy who had always regarded him as a fierce rival turned out to be a copycat, and now they have become a five-star guild in one fell swoop......
What worries them even more is what Prince Geller said just now, what is the purpose of letting Ye Trai pretend to be an illegitimate child?
That must have something to do with the battle for succession......
A feeling called defeat suddenly poured into the hearts of several princes present.
At this moment, an old voice suddenly came out of the council hall.
"Ye Chui is not an illegitimate child...... How is this possible? It can't be that Your Majesty Charles III is deliberately lying to protect this kid, right?"
Hearing this voice, everyone was shocked, who would suddenly appear in the council hall and say such rude words?
Ye Chui noticed that the expressions of the old emperor and Prince Geller suddenly became extremely solemn.
The door of the council hall was pushed open, and an old man in a blood-red robe walked in with a cane, his steps were a little staggering, his face was wrinkled, but he had no beard, his thinning hair was meticulously groomed, and he looked to be at least eighty or ninety years old, older than the old emperor and Prince Geller.
Beside him, there was a girl holding his arm, after the girl walked into the meeting hall, she looked at Ye Chu here with wide eyes, and her eyes were full of energy: You don't let me in, I want to come here!
It is Bosli who inherits the Xiangwang!
When they had come to the council hall, Persian had been stopped outside, and she seemed to be a little unconvinced, so she went and called the old man and asked him to bring her in!
Who is this old man in red?
"Cardinal Eliza, I haven't seen you in a long time. The old emperor said in a loud voice, and the rest of the people in the seats stood up, but he still sat in the middle.
Ye Chui finally knew that this old man was a cardinal archbishop!
That is a believer who is even higher than the archbishop, and the old man in front of him can be said to be the head of the Holy See in the Star Empire! He also has the right to enter the Imperial Council and can walk freely in the Red Keep!
"I've been listening to the gods lately, and I'm not very interested in foreign affairs, hehe, if this little guy hadn't dragged me here, I'm afraid I wouldn't have left the cathedral. The old man's old voice said, and the little guy he mentioned was naturally referring to Persian Ly.
After finishing speaking, the cardinal's eyes suddenly looked at Ye Hang.
His eyes were cloudy and looked energyless, but when Ye Trai received his gaze, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead instantly, so that he could deeply feel the horror and horror of this old man, and Lesa, who was standing beside him, subconsciously leaned towards Ye Trai's side, Ye Trai could feel that her body was constantly trembling...... As a believer who has turned his back on the Holy See, the deterrence of the old man in red is even more deadly to Raisa!
"You are not the illegitimate son of the old emperor? Why don't I believe it?" The old man in red looked at Ye Chui and said with a smile, his smile was like the kind smile of an ordinary old man, but it could make people feel the murderous intent in that smile.
"Lord Eliza, Ye Chui's identity as an illegitimate child was arranged by me, of course he is fake, and the employment scroll of the mercenary union can testify. Prince Geller said in a deep voice, Eliza's identity is really respected, even if Prince Geller doesn't like him, he has to call him an adult.
"Hire scrolls can also be faked. The old man in red said faintly.
He seems to have decided that Ye Chui is really an illegitimate child.
Several princes also seemed to suddenly realize: the old emperor and Prince Geller denied the identity of Ye Chui's illegitimate son, maybe they had other plans?
Because of the church's interference in the princes, the old emperor was not very satisfied with the current twelve princes, if he had to pass the throne to the illegitimate son Ye Chui who had a bad relationship with the church, then in order to protect Ye Chui, maybe he would deny Ye Chui's illegitimate child identity, and wait for the right time to officially confirm his illegitimate child identity...... It's not impossible!
"But bloodlines don't cheat. The old man in red continued with a smile, his trembling hand pulling out an emerald stone from his sleeve, "Please also ask Charles III to use the blood vein stone to test the blood of the leaf lobe." ”
"Bloodstone?" Ye Chui had heard of this kind of thing for the first time.
Lesa and Debbie also showed puzzled expressions.
Persian took the stone, heard Ye Chui's words, and explained with a smile: "The blood stone can detect the connection between blood lines, this is a treasure." She walked over to the old emperor, "Your Majesty Charles III, please drop your blood on the bloodline, so that when the bloodline stone is close to the side of the bloodline descendant under the power of magic, it will glow." ”
The old emperor's face was angry, and he did not react.
Bosli smiled and continued: "Your Majesty, you don't want your illegitimate child to be unknown, if Ye Chui is really not an illegitimate child, this can just dispel the concerns of several other princes, what do you say?"
"Hmph!" the old emperor snorted coldly, and looked at Prince Geller again, they knew best, Ye Chui was not an illegitimate child, as Persian said, using the blood stone to confirm Ye Chui's identity was just enough to make the other princes not be hostile to Ye Chui, which was not impossible.
So the old emperor took out a short sword, cut his finger, and dripped a drop of blood into the blood stone.
The blood fell into the Bloodstone and quickly merged into it.
Persian put the bloodstone into the palm of her hand, and she first approached the bloodstone to the eldest prince, the second prince and others, urging the magic power-although she had not yet awakened the magic guide book, she had been trained by the demon boy since she was a child, and had the ability to control magic power-when the bloodstone was just close to the eldest prince and the others, it immediately lit up quickly.
When approaching Prince Geller, it does not shine, and the Bloodstone only shines on the blood of the descendants, and has no effect on the brothers.
After confirming the efficacy of the Bloodstone Stone, Bosli walked over to Ye Tuo, and on her face, which was actually very cute and beautiful, there was a somewhat sly smile, as if she was waiting to see Ye Dou's fake play exposed.
Ye Chui was calm, of course he knew whether he was an illegitimate child or not!
Then, when the bloodstone was close enough to the leaf lobe, it suddenly emitted a faint shimmer!
Ye Tuo's eyes widened suddenly.
The glow of the Bloodstone gradually increased.
Ye Chui's expression was completely shocked.
Debbie, Green, and Lesa all showed unexpectedly surprised expressions.
Damn, won't you?
Ye Trai turned his head and glanced at Debbie - isn't the bastard Rickon? Why, how can this be? Could it be that Ye Trai is the real bastard!? Ye Trai subconsciously looked at Prince Geller, is this old fox hiding the truth?
However, he found that Prince Geller also had a "hell old man" expression!
The light on the Bloodstone grew stronger.
The smile on Bosli's face gradually grew, and she made a grimace at Ye Chui: Who are you fooling, you are really an illegitimate child!
Eventually, Persian held the Bloodstone and placed it on Ye Li's chest.
It's just that at this time, what made everyone exclaim "Huh" at the same time was that the light on the blood stone suddenly began to flicker and flicker, and in Ye Hang's feeling, it was like a light bulb with poor contact.
"What's going on?" Posri said with some confusion, her magic urging was not a problem, how could the bloodstone start to flicker?
Ye Chui was even more surprised at this moment.
Could it be ...... Is it because of his time-traveling identity?
Persian shook the bloodstone, but the light on the bloodstone still flickered, and she asked for help to see Eliza, but the bloodstone accidentally fell off her palm and rolled to the ground, grunting, and just rolled in front of Jacob, who was standing beside Ye Shui - Jacob was standing in the corner, and when Persian took out the blood stone, he approached Ye Chui with Daini out of curiosity.
When Persian bent down to pick it up, Jacob hurriedly picked up the Bloodstone first, and he was about to return it to Persian, but his palm suddenly stiffened in the air, and the expression on his face completely froze.
The Bloodstone still had the magic of Persian remaining, and now it was glowing in Jacob's hands.
The light was very stable, and the brightness was exactly the same as when approaching the eldest prince, the second prince and the others.
There was a sudden silence in the chamber.
Everyone looked at Jacob.
Look at the bloodstone in Jacob's hand.
"Lie down—" After a moment, Ye Shui came back to his senses and couldn't help but exclaim.
The bloodstone in Persian's hand flickered in front of him just now, not because of his soul crossing problem, but because the bloodstone detected not his bloodline in the first place, but Jacob's bloodline, and it was only because Jacob was standing next to him, and the signal might not be very stable, so this flickering situation occurred......
In other words, Jacob was the illegitimate son left by the old emperor in Wind Rock City!
