Elio, the former Prime Minister, was furious, exactly like his sister - with thin cheekbones and a blue face. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He was shocked by the answer of the guards who had gone to investigate—his sister had secretly summoned the local nobles for a negotiation without anyone knowing!

He wanted to put the Queen Mother under house arrest at this time.

Just after he summoned the palace guards, he found that the drunken Lelia had disappeared from the viewing table at some point. It seems that he still underestimates this woman who gets along with him day and night. Bailey was right - there was nothing that the man who poisoned his husband could not do.

Elio Silver Eagle City's unique green eyes are as sharp as a dagger at the moment: "Where is she?"

A guard knelt down on one knee, and his voice trembled slightly: "The Queen Mother is drunk, and Yinshan 'Bul' has sent someone to send the Queen Mother back to the palace." ”

The former prime minister waved his long sword, the blade of which was only half an inch away from the neck of the attendant, and said coldly: "Confirm her whereabouts, otherwise she will be punished for dereliction of duty." ”

The guards shook from head to toe, but Elio withdrew his sword, his face softening, "That's it—no, she's determined to make a big fuss." ”

The kneeling squire breathed a sigh of relief, and just as his heart calmed and he inhaled deeply, the blade fell from the back of his neck, his eyes still open, his mouth half open - the head rolled down, and blood splattered on the iron boots and soft armor of the guards around him.

No one was silent, and the former prime minister and the palace guards, most of whom were actually from the Iron Guards of Silver Eagle City, left the noisy crowd and hurried towards the council building.

In his opinion, it must have been his sister who was dissatisfied with the situation, and thought that the city-states had overpowered the royal power and acted foolishly at the time of the gathering of the nobles at the festival.

There are only two possibilities for secretly summoning the local aristocracy: either they can be allowed to swear allegiance to the current royal family and thus restrain the four powerful families, or they can be imprisoned as a bargaining chip to win the initiative. Most likely, it is to retaliate against the disadvantage of gathering troops to march to the south.

With this in mind, the Imperial Prime Minister had already arrived at the foot of the Legislative Affairs Building. He looked up and saw the fire burning on the top floor.

"Yes, with tonight's events settled, more drastic action should be taken - not to make Lelia self-righteous, and perhaps to limit her freedom. ”

Elio gritted his teeth hard, swung his sword symbolizing the silver eagle forward, and said in a cold voice, "The Prime Minister has the right to know the contents of the secret meeting. There are many important people in the meeting, and you follow me to protect the safety of the council members. ”

Of course, the former Silver Eagle City Iron Guard knew who to obey. After all, from the moment of view, the former prime minister wields much more power than the king and the queen regent.

As a result, fifty guards walked up the spiral ladder with swords, while the remaining sixty guards surrounded all the exits of the council building.

"Nothing is going to happen - whatever the speculation, just make these local nobles realize that Lelia has no real power, and everything will return to normal. ”

Elio thought to himself, unaware of the more loopholes behind the Midsummer Festival "Conclave", and even less expected that the warlock in charge of lighting the fire on the "Palace of Elysium" would go to great lengths to make the turbulent political situation set off huge waves. So, he had no idea that the next events would turn out in the direction that made him shudder.

As soon as he stepped on the marble spiral staircase leading to the top floor of the building, the neighing of horses could be heard from all sides of the building—extremely high-pitched, like the roar of a wild beast, which made people irritating.

"No one is allowed to enter!" the Prime Minister ordered angrily.

However, his orders seemed to be ineffective, and heavy footsteps came from all directions—obviously not the iron boots of the royal guards, but more like the sound of a hammer smashing on the ground, mixed with the screeching sound of metal scraping against the stone.

In the imperial capital, who else dares to disobey the order of the prime minister?

Elio felt his anger boil in his veins, "Violator - put to death." ”

However, there was a dead silence in the royal guards, and the sound of heavy footsteps was still like a pendulum, getting closer and closer.

Then the Prime Minister saw something he couldn't believe - he preferred to have hallucinated himself.

A team of faceless inquisitors in bronze armor and bronze masks, carrying long swords, stepped on the spiral staircase step by step!

The Inquisitor is the whip of judgment of the true god Osiris, who executes just judgments and never participates in the struggle of worldly forces. And on the night of Midsummer, why are they here!

Elio felt his heart pounding and his mind was confused, and he couldn't figure out why.

Did they come to arrest themselves? No way - even the Imperial Council had never dared to oppose the Sanctuary.

Did they do it at the behest of Lelia? No way - even the royal family had no authority to issue orders to the Central Inquisition. No, the Central Inquisition, as long as it makes a verdict, can even convict the royal family, they have the supreme right to judge!

Hundreds of palace guards, including the former prime minister, were silent, almost standing in place!

The Faceless Inquisitor walked up to Elio, his bronze sword aimed at the Prime Minister's face, and a low, iron-sand rolling voice came from under the face, "Get out of the way, mortal." ”

Elio only felt a weakness under his feet, and knelt sideways, his eyes only daring to look at the ground. The tip of the sword slashed past his eyes, making a sharp scraping sound, and he felt only pain in his head.

Ten faceless judges passed in front of the kneeling Prime Minister and walked step by step to the top floor of the Parliamentary Building!

When the last swordsman in bronze armor turned away, Elio stood up and followed them to the end of the spiral staircase. He only felt that these ten silent, well-paced people were monsters crawling out of the ancient tomb!

And the spiral staircase is like an endless passage through the tomb!

The inquisitor did not care about the Prime Minister's actions, and the light of the fire reflected on the facet of the facet like blood!

As we got closer to the top floor of the council hall, the light became brighter, and from not far away there were loud voices that sounded like whining and cursing, and the sound of guards drawing their swords.

Elio only felt that his mind was congested, and he forgot to breathe, and in a trance, the bronze figure had disappeared from view, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and follow. When the top floor of the council hall was finally reached, all the wall lamps were lit, the gilded doors of the council hall were locked, and the silver fir "Bull" led twenty palace guards to kneel before the faceless judge.

Angry shouts rang out from the council chamber, and the nobles trapped in the lonely building would not guess their situation.

And the judge, wearing a bronze mask, showed a crumpled piece of paper in front of everyone, and asked the kneeling person without any emotion: "The list listed here can be written by the Queen Mother herself?"

"Yinshan" Bul said in a deep voice: "The fair judge, the contemptible people swear by faith, and this list is drawn up by the Queen Mother herself. ”

"Are all the people on the list in the council chamber?" said the judge's voice as if coming from a machine.

"Yes. This time, Captain Bull, who was kneeling on one knee, replied only one word.
