Chapter 262: Yuren's Request
readx;
"Mr. Yuren?"
Parliament Leader Noah raised his head and looked at the young man who walked into the room in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info is about to continue the trial council now, is there something wrong with this leader of the Knights of the Last Heavens coming here?
"Hello, Council Leader Noah, time is short, so I'll just say it. β
Yu Lian was not polite, unlike his polite attitude in the Brilliant Law Ring, at this moment, You Lian directly pulled over the chair and sat down, and then spoke.
"I'm here to ask what your plans are regarding the punishment of Master Falian?"
"Punitive measures?"
Hearing this question, Council Chief Noah was stunned for a moment, he looked at the young man in front of him, and did not answer his question immediately, but stared intently into his eyes, and after a while, he spoke.
"This is an internal affair of our Mage Guild, Mr. Yuren. β
"Of course I know that. β
Yuren tapped lightly on the table.
"But this time, I have a small request. β
Request?
This is sometimes worse than a suggestion or a request.
"What request?"
Although Speaker Noah asked, deep down, he had already guessed everything.
"It's simple. β
Hearing the old council leader's inquiry, Yulian chuckled and crossed his ten fingers to speak.
"I want you to leave the Falian to me. β
β..................β
"I can't tell you why, Lord, I think you should understand that there are some things that are happier if you don't know, and that, sometimes, people know too much and don't end well -- I think you've seen an example. β
Yulian completely ignored the silence of the old council leader, and it seemed to him that there was no room for maneuver at all.
"Your request is not just about that. β
"That's the only way. β
Yulian spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, looking no more sincere.
"For me, it's the best thing that things can get to this point. β
"So, what are you going to do with Mage Falian?"
The old council leader narrowed his eyes, and sure enough, he didn't ask Yuren for his reasons and explanations again, but quickly turned to another question. Faced with his question, Yulian smiled lightly, and then he stood up.
"That's our problem, as for you......... Let's just think that this person never existed. β
The meaning in the words is very clear and unambiguous.
"I see. β
Council Leader Noah sighed.
"That's what those two teachers think?"
"Of course. β
"Well, I'm not going to object, but ............"
"Of course I understand what you mean, I won't make this request on the table, as long as you can make it easy for us privately. β
"That's for the best. β
Hearing Yu Lian's answer, the old mage finally showed a relaxed smile on his face.
"So be it, Mr. Yuren, the crimes committed by Master Farian are indisputable, and as such, no matter what justifications she makes, we will not accept them. According to the internal rules of the Mage Guild, Mage Farian sent the Wizard Knights to meddle in external affairs without the consent of the Mage Council, and also lost four Constructed Golems........."
Parliament Chief Noah tacitly didn't ask what the four Golems were used for, and Yulian wouldn't be so idiotic as to say it.
"This has caused great damage to the reputation and property of the Mage Guild, so I have decided to strip Mage Pharian of her mage status, seal her spell-casting abilities, and imprison her in an ice prison where she cannot be released. β
Parliament Leader Noah uttered the verdict almost as if he were reciting a line, and then he opened his eyes and looked at Yuren in front of him.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Speaker Noah. β
You Lian also bowed very intriguingly, since the other party had agreed to his conditions, then he had to give a certain response.
"As compensation, I will re-equip the Mage Guild with ten Architectural Golems, I think this should make up for the losses and vacancies of your Guild. β
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Mr. Yuren. β
And so the dirty behind-the-scenes deal came to an end.
When Farion returns to the center of the Ring of Glory, she may not know that her fate has been decided by two people in a few words, but she also understands that her current situation is very bad. If one is not good, it is possible to let yourself fall into the abyss. But as far as the current situation is concerned, what if it is good? With the help of the thirty minutes just now, she has already made contact with several other archmages, but this time, their statements are more ambiguous than before, and Farion also knows that she can no longer rely on them now. After all, the other party has already come up with a mountain of ironclad evidence, and with the current situation, there is no way for him to turn over.
Luckily, Farlian still has one last hole card, and although she doesn't want to use it unless she has to, as it stands, she has to use it.
And at this moment, seeing her reappear, not only did You Lian's eyes widen with some curiosity, but even the other archmages couldn't help but show a trace of dissatisfaction on their faces.
At this moment, by Farion's side, a man dressed in a gorgeous aristocratic costume was following.
"Marquis Glenn Kane. β
Above the twelve rings, the lady in red looked at the man, a smile on her face, but her tone was unusually cold.
"This is the internal meeting of the Twelve Rings Mage, what are you doing here as an outsider? I don't think you should be unaware of the internal rules of our Mage Association. β
"Of course I understand the internal rules of the association, Venerable Archmage of the Twelve Rings. β
The man named Glenn Kane first bowed respectfully to all the archmages present before replying.
"However, please understand that I am not here for no reason. I stand here today to testify to Archmage Pharian -- in her capacity as her fiancΓ©. β
Although the other party broke out this news very calmly, all the archmages present did not react, in fact, they had long known that Farian had a close relationship with a certain magic family in private, and at the last trial meeting, there was even an archmage who tactfully reminded her, but it was obvious that Farian did not choose to give up this relationship.
"Then I really want to congratulate you both. β
The lady in red chuckled and unfolded the folding fan in her hand, covering her lips and letting out a burst of laughter. The other archmages had different expressions, some with expressionless faces, others with a hint of disdain, clearly disdainful of her behavior.
"You said you were going to testify?"
Apparently not intent on interrogating the archmage's private life in public, Council Chief Noah coughed lightly and quickly got to business.
"Yes, Honorable Elder Noah. β
Kane saluted Speaker Noah again, and then he looked up and stared coldly at Yuren in front of him. In his eyes, there was undisguised hostility.
"Actually, there's only one thing I want to say, and that's that this incident wasn't done by Master Lian alone. β
"Oh?"
Hearing this, all the archmages were stunned, and then, their brows immediately furrowed.
The current situation is obvious, Farian is absolutely unable to protect herself, and the archmages are actually a little worried that she will die in the net, but before this, the archmages did not expect that things would actually develop in such a direction. Indeed, they all know that Falian is very close to a certain magic family, but no matter how close they are, these archmages are also outsiders, how obvious is the current situation, who else dares to stir up this troubled waters?
But now, it seems that someone is really planning to stir up the troubled waters.
"What do you mean ............"
"Actually, you got the wrong direction from the beginning, it was our Kane family who first received a message for help from the rebels in Senna Territory in the Kingdom of West, so we sent someone to help. And Venerable Pharian, after learning about our situation, stepped in to help me at my request. It's as simple as that, Archmage, I can tell you very clearly that you have completely found the wrong person in the first place. β
Kane's expression was calm and serious, and his voice echoed through the glorious ring of Nuoda, but there was no response.
It worked!
Noticing the unusual tranquility, Kane couldn't help but smile smugly at Falian. As the patriarch of a family, he certainly knew what that meant. He also knows very well what kind of impact the entire family will have on the family by implicating the entire family in this matter. But now, he had to.
This is not just for love, although he does love the woman in front of him deeply, but, as the head of a noble family, he still knows very well when to put interests first. And now, the reason why he wants to keep Pharian at all costs is not just to protect his woman, but also to get her interests. Although he knew very well that if this matter was exposed, then his family would probably be banned by the Mage Association, but what was this? as long as he could get Falian, as long as he could get the knowledge she had, then as long as it would take another five years at most, their family would be strong enough to be able to stand on an equal footing with the Mage Guild! And he didn't worry about how much his family would suffer, after all, his family's power was not in the City of a Thousand Laws, but in another country, if the Mage Guild wanted to make a move against his family, then they would have to face a country!
Thinking of the scene that Falian had shown him before, Kane couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, and he looked at the mage sitting within the twelve rings, and couldn't help but feel a trace of disdain in his heart. Sure enough, it's just a group of old bones, they don't know how to be flexible, and they won't make progress! There are such good talents, they don't know how to use them, but they want to suppress each other, it seems that people are really getting older and more confused!
β.....................β
In fact, just as Kane had predicted, at this moment, these archmages finally sensed that something was a little tricky!
Although the City of a Thousand Laws is the center of mages, this does not mean that they can control all mages, in fact, in addition to the mages of the Mage Association, there are many spellcasters, they either belong to a certain magic family, or belong to the court mages, although these people have a good relationship with the Mage Association on the surface, but to put it bluntly, they still have their own masters and do their own thing. The Kane family is one of the most powerful ones. It even dominates the government of a country, and if you are an enemy of such a magic family, then it is very likely to be an enemy of a certain country. This is definitely not a good development for the Mage Guild.
It's just that Yu Lian's expression is a little meaningful.
I see.
He stared at the high-spirited nobleman in front of him, and then smiled coldly in his heart.
"Guys, I think you heard that, too?"
Then, Yuren said inwardly.
β............... I'm tempted to say I didn't hear it, but my lord, your inquiry gives me a very bad premonition. β
Ofariel's voice sounded so powerless at the moment, in fact, with the pact between the souls, all the spirits could share everything he saw and heard, if Julien wanted to. And right now, that's exactly what happened.
"How much do you understand the Kanes? Miss O'Faryl?"
Since there is such a "Encyclopedia of the Names of the Aristocracy of the Whole Continent" that can walk, then You Lian will naturally not let it go.
"The Kane Family...... If it's the Kane family that has something to do with the Mage Guild, then it's the Kane family in the land of Faris-Arashi. β
"Good. β
Yu Lian nodded inwardly.
"Charlotte, do you hear me?"
"Of course, master, I am by Miss O'Faryl's side. β
"How's your work going?"
"It's only halfway through and it's not finished yet. β
"Forget it thenβJudy?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. β
"Send your men, I ask to destroy the capital of Arashi no Kuni in less than twenty minutes, it seems that some people have really forgotten how the Knights of the End fought - can they do it?"
"Rest assured, Your Excellency, that the task will be completed. β
As Judy's last words fell, the psychic connection was disconnected again. And when Yulian regained his mind and raised his head again, he quickly noticed the inquiring gaze of the twin sisters at him. It was obvious that they had heard the previous order, but this time, Yulian only shook his head slightly.
Then, he once again focused on the field.
And at this moment, within the Brilliant Law Hall, a heated discussion had once again begun.
"Mr. Kane, we have understood your statement. Since you advocate your family's involvement in this matter, then we have nothing to say. However, you can put it aside for the time being, as a member of the Mage Guild, or even a member of the Twelve Star Mage Council, if Mage Falian violates the internal rules of the Association, then we have the power to punish her, and I don't think you have any objection to this. β
"Of course not. β
Kane's expression was still so calm.
"However, I have to ask curiously, since this is an internal matter of your Mage Association, why are outsiders here?"
Although his words were not specified, from the way he looked at Yuren, the person he was referring to was self-evident.
"Since this is an internal review of the Mage Association, shouldn't the members of the Mage Association interfere, investigate, and collect evidence?
"Mr. Kane...... Right?"
This time, Yulian finally spoke. He still had an elegant smile on his face, nothing changed.
"Listen to you, then, can I think that the Kane family will be responsible for this invasion of the Senna family's territory?"
"Absolutely, Mr. Yuren. β
Kane showed the same smile, it seems that in terms of aristocratic cultivation, the two sides are half a pound and a tael.
"As an ancient family with a high reputation in the land of Arashi, we will not deny this. β
Although it is not explicitly stated, between the lines, it still refers to the status of the Kane family.
"Do you have any opinion on this?"
"I can't say anything, but since your family has taken the initiative to admit it, then you should be ready to accept punishment. β
"Punishment?"
Kane's face changed when he heard this, and then he smirked.
"It's true that our family will accept punishment, but I don't know, what kind of punishment do the archmages of the Mage Association plan to give to my family?"
Hearing his words, the faces of several archmages had become gloomy, since the Kane family planned to shelter Falian, they already knew that this family had planned to break the jar, and they didn't plan to give the mage association any more face, but at this moment, at such a meeting, being so contradicted by such a nameless junior still made them a little angry.
However, this time, Yulian's voice sounded again at the right time.
"Ah, I don't think you need to worry about that, Mr. Kane. β
β............ What do you mean by that?"
Hearing Yu Lian's words, Kane's face, which was still a little proud, suddenly condensed.
"It doesn't mean much. β
Yulian reached into his arms, easily took out the silver pocket watch inside, and then opened the cover.
"Because for a family that has 17 minutes and 35 seconds left and is about to disappear from this world, there is no need for them to be punished -- after all, there is no one to punish them. β
"Hmph, who do you think you are!"
Kane's expression finally changed, and at the same time, Farian, who had not spoken all this time, also changed his complexion. However, before they could react, suddenly the ruby ring on Kane's right hand shone brightly. And looking at this light, Kane's face immediately turned pale, because this is the emergency communication when the family is in danger!
At this moment, he no longer cared about being above the Mage Council, and in full view of everyone, Kane immediately reached out and stroked the ring, and then asked angrily.
"What's going on!"
"Oh no!!Patriarch!!Big deal!!!Big deal!!"
Soon, panicked shouts rang from inside the ring. β
"Shut up, damn it, calm me down, what's going on!!"
Kane shouted angrily again, he glanced at the leisurely Yuren, and at this moment a trace of ominous premonition had appeared in his heart, but the next moment, the answer he heard still completely knocked Kane's heart into the abyss.
"It's a dragon!!Your Excellency, hundreds of dragons!! they have surrounded the capital of Arashi and are attacking the entire capital!!Your Excellency, what should we do!?Your Excellency......
Kane quickly cut off the communication, and he looked up, his angry eyes shooting at Yuren like a burning flame.
"Do you know the price you pay for this? Mr. Yuren, you're declaring war on a country!!
"I think you've got one thing wrong, Mr. Kane. β
Yuren put the watch back in his arms.
"We ultimately decide when, where, and what the Knights want to killβand frankly, it's not anyone's turn to intervene in what we want to do. β
Saying this, Yu Lian didn't look at Kane, who was already pale, but raised his head again and looked at the archmage of the twelve rings.
"So, mages, we can now talk about the punishment of Mage Pharian. β
Then, Yu Lian said leisurely.
