"Noticed?" said Enid in the crowd, watching the performance on stage.

Ellie nodded.

Before, the two of them walked around the square, and there were many adventurers in the crowd in addition to the citizens celebrating the festival.

It's not surprising that there are adventurers, it's their expressions that are strange.

They seemed to be indifferent to all the hustle and bustle around them, they just put their hands into their clothes, tightly clutched the weapons hidden inside, and the murderous aura on their faces made the surrounding civilians stay away, but the nearby city guards who were responsible for maintaining order turned a blind eye to them.

"Miss, there seems to be some movement on the viewing platform over there. ”

When Enid heard this, she saw a figure walking directly in front of the platform, and turned to face the many nobles on the stage.

Enid's eyes froze, it was...... Viscount Rancester.

......

Ranster stood up on the viewing platform, walked straight to the front of the stage, and turned.

Then he clapped his hands vigorously, attracting the attention of everyone on stage.

He spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the kingdom is in crisis!"

He looked around, seeming to enjoy the feeling of everyone looking at him and listening to him.

"The kingdom is in crisis!" he re-emphasized.

But not everyone would give him face, and one of the old-fashioned nobles raised his elder shelf and scolded him dissatisfiedly: "What the hell are you doing, don't you see that the Earl is here?"

Someone spoke first, and the scene immediately became lively, and a succession of ridicule and ridicule poured into Ranster, who was standing in front.

"Hey, Lord Viscount, what's wrong with you today?

"Save your political speeches for your salon!"

"Shhhh ”

......

Viscount Randster's face turned pale, and he gave Brati a final look of confirmation, and then said in a deep voice, "Doug!"

A silent middle-aged man stood beside Lancet, took a whistle from his bosom and blew it. Suddenly, a long, shrill whistle filled the square.

There was a commotion in the crowd below.

Under the uneasy gaze of the nobles on the stage, the city guards who were responsible for maintaining order below actually joined forces with some adventurers who had taken out their weapons, and they dispersed the crowd near the viewing platform, and then surrounded the viewing platform.

At the entrance to the viewing platform, a tall, serious man stood up and said sternly, "Lancet! Doug, do you know what you're doing?"

As Sir Ramon got up, the Sheriff's Soldiers, who had been guarding the entrance to the viewing platform, also took up their weapons and guarded the city guards and adventurers who were surrounded outside.

Seeing such a scene, the nobles on the stage suddenly became panicked. And the central figure of the incident, the Count of Lilac, just sat there and watched it all the time.

"Relax...... Relax ......" Viscount Lancester, who felt that he had regained control of the situation, opened his hands and smiled at Sir Ramon, "Relax, Ramon. I didn't mean anything disrespectful to the Earl, but my worries about the future, my worries about Islay's future, set a fire in my heart that burned me day and night, made me miserable, made me anxious, and forced me to make such a choice. ”

The tall man sneered, and then mocked mercilessly, "Then you are really wronged." I wonder if the fire inside you told you that you would die here today?"

Ramon's threats are blatant and ferocious.

His meaning was obvious, even if his soldiers couldn't stop the guards and adventurers below, he could slaughter Ranster before the people below rushed up.

Hearing Ramon's merciless words, Lancet's face was a little ugly, and he forcibly suppressed his anger and continued: "Don't worry! Ramon, and all kinds of gentlemen and ladies, and the honorable Count Lilac. ”

He bowed to his chest in the direction of the Count: "I have absolutely no intention of raising my sword towards Lilac. ”

"But you've already done it!"

This time, Lancet ignored Ramon and continued to speak to Count Lilac, "Your Excellency Earl, in view of the great threat facing the kingdom right now, I suggest that the Lilac family send their most powerful weapon, the Golem Legion, to the northern border of the kingdom to guard against a possible attack. ”

There was an uproar in the crowd.

"What are you kidding! The Golem Legion is the greatest safeguard for us Eylay!, how can we leave Eli!" someone shouted at Ranster.

"Yes, yes, what does it matter to us about the battle in the north, anyway, naturally the kingdom will deal with it, where do we need to worry about it!"

Ranster shook his head with a distressed expression.

"Times are different, gentlemen, and we must unite the forces of the entire kingdom to resist the threat from outside. He shouted, "The decline of the Warlock family has long been predicted, and although they practice ugly consanguineous marriages within the family, it still can't change the reality that the caster's blood is getting thinner and thinner every year!"

Fernandez's face turned ugly.

"A new world has opened its doors to us! It is a better world! Although the privileges of our nobility may be slightly suppressed, no, don't worry! Wait until I'm done! Believe me, that world is not as terrible as imagined, the loss is only temporary, we have enough capital to gain a place in that new world, and even live better than before! His Royal Highness has promised this!"

"So is the Lilac family!" he turned to Count Lilac again, "The time has come when it must change, Lord Earl. The Lilac Family has never relied on those spellcasters who have to stand tall in the world, has it? Unlike those Warlock Families who have been eliminated by the times, this new world is a God-given opportunity for the Lilac Family to gain greater glory and higher status!"

Lancet noticed Ramon's expression and saw that his expression had softened a lot. So he smiled and shrugged his shoulders at the other party, "So how can we possibly raise our swords to the Lilac family? In any case, only those with the blood of the Noble family can control the Golem Legion, right?"

Finally, the shrewd and capable bearded man said, "Actually, I have long wanted to talk to you, Lord Earl, but the gates of Lilac Castle have not been open to the public for several years, which makes me very helpless, so I have to make this decision, and on an occasion like today, I will explain my proposal to Lord Earl." If the Earl is unwilling to lead the legions on the expedition......"

"Wait," Ramon interrupted him, "even if it is to change, even if it is to make the Lilac family more closely attached to the kingdom, His Royal Highness should show more sincerity than ......"

"Sincerity?" Ranster interrupted Ramon loudly, "Twenty years ago, wasn't the sincerity of the royal family already delivered?"

Sir Ramon was silent, and he looked in the direction of Count Lilac, who had a blank face, and closed his eyes in agony.

Viscount Randster continued what he had just said: "So, Lord Earl, if you are not willing to go into battle to serve the kingdom yourself, then you can ...... Leave the core of control to Lord Midioc! Your Excellency Midioc has performed well in the past year, and we can all see it!"

"Shut up, it's not your turn to intervene in how the Noble family chooses their heir!" Ramon scolded loudly. Delivering the Golem Control Core is no different from handing over the position of Patriarch in the Noble family.

The Viscount spread his hands freely and looked in the direction of Midiok.

......

Since Lancet's debut, Midiok's mood has been in a mixed state.

Happily, no matter what Viscount Rancester's purpose is, it is very likely that he will benefit in the end, because now in the city of St. Valentine, the most powerful force is beside him.

Early this morning, after witnessing how his friend had raided and killed the family's mage advisor, Midiok was very confident in his friend's strength.

The worry is that the plan of himself and his friends has not been fully implemented, and now that such an accident has happened, if my father insists on refusing to hand over the control core, then how will the situation end?

As the situation unfolded, the joy on Mideok's face was almost hidden, and when Lancet finally looked in his direction, Midiok stood up.

It's time to make a decision!

"It's time to make a decision! Father, as Viscount Randster said, the situation cannot be delayed any longer!"

The Earl, who had been silent for so long, had not said a word from the very beginning, and finally spoke.

"You ...... Is it really so anxious that you can't wait any longer?" sighed the Earl.

Of course they can't!

Many of the bright-eyed nobles present couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Originally, there was no rush in the kingdom. Whether it is the reality of the Noble family or the mental state of the Count of Lilac, they are very reassured.

But since Count Lilac suddenly married Russell a year ago without warning, some people could no longer sit still. Since then, a web of intrigue has shrouded over the family in the heart of the Land of Abundance.

Things have developed to the point where they are today, and what else is there to say.

So, the nobles all looked at Count Lilac and nervously awaited his final decision.

His decision will determine the future of Islay: a peaceful transfer of power, or a bloody fight?

No one wants bloodshed, and neither do these nobles. For them, the loss of some privilege is still acceptable compared to their lives, not to mention that His Royal Highness has also assured that they will not have a worse life, right?

If Wang Du didn't make a clear statement, they might still have to follow the Lilac family and live a drunken life, but look at the current situation, look at the bright blades of the soldiers in the audience. The aristocrats understood what their most "correct" choice should be at this time.

What is the desire of the people? The present situation is called the desire of the people.

Midiok couldn't contain his excitement anymore, and at this point, he was extremely glad that he had agreed to his friend's plan to send that stupid brother on his journey to the underworld.

At this time, he is not in the city, then he is the only candidate, and when he gets the control core from his father and becomes the official heir of Noble, whether the mercenary group can complete the mission or not, everything will be over.

Step by step, Midiok walked up to his father, his eyes full of longing.

Father, do you have any other choice at this time?" said to himself. Stand before you, but your sons, your vassals, your people, are you really ready to summon the Golem Legion and turn the city of St. Valentine into a bloody slaughter on such a day?

Count Lilac looked deeply at his eldest son, and finally, he put his hand into his clothes.

Everyone held their breath.

Is the ultimate secret of the Noble family, the controlling core of the Golem Legion, finally about to appear in front of the world for the first time?

Count Lilac's movements were not slow, but from the time he put his hand into his garment, to the time he pulled out a disc-shaped object and held it in the palm of his hand, everyone felt as if a century had passed.

Finally, is it all going to end?' Viscount Rancest's mouth showed a smile of victory, he looked around at the crowd on the stage, and asked lightly, "So, do you have any opinions about the decision made by Lord Earl?"

"Yes!"

A childish voice sounded behind him.

"I disagree!"

PS: Thank you for your votes, I was very surprised, it turned out that asking for tickets was so useful...... I'll refuel the update and try to finish the first volume in two days over the weekend. (Don't think it's going to be soon, there's actually a long story at the end of the volume.) ）
