Chapter 262: The Five-Day Covenant
The words of the seventh princess immediately resolved the hostility of many fallen spirit clans.
First of all, he promised to encircle and suppress the violent search and arrest group on the whole continent, and dispelled the estrangement in the hearts of some spirit people. Subsequently, she told the disaster in Kaiyang, and quietly defined the violent search and arrest team as an organization that believed in evil gods, and such a common encounter effectively won the approval of the high-level of the Spirit Clan.
The Lanwu Empire is also a victim.
Even if only some people have such thoughts, her purpose has been achieved.
Things have developed to this point, and it will be difficult for the consuls to influence the situation. After all, his only trump card was the spiritual master's prophecy. But apart from that, everything else is good for humanity. The Queen's faction also did not want the Elders to start a war in order to take control of power. Could it be that the envoy of the Lanwu Empire was allowed to retreat with a great achievement?
The Archon had been in charge of the House of Elders for almost twenty years, and he couldn't bear it.
Well, even if the letter was written by Morgan, his words are not necessarily correct. We can't rely on a letter to conclude that humanity has nothing to do with this tragedy. Perhaps they kidnapped Morgan and threatened him with the letter, but it is not yet known. ”
The queen knew that the old man would not back down lightly, and asked preparedly, "So, what does the Archon mean?"
The archon smiled coldly and said in a malicious tone, "Quite simply, Morgan's letter mentions the Violent Raid Force, and also mentions that the source of the plague is in Neupera. The former Human Empire has begun to be wanted, although it is not known whether it is really hard work, but this can not be mentioned for now. The latter is a very effective verification method. Aren't the human missions very sincere in defusing this war? Let them go to Neupera and find out the truth there. ”
"Oh?"
The queen had a little "surprise" on her face, and she looked a little uneasy. However, under the gaze of the consul with a little coercion, she groaned for a while, and still looked at the seventh princess with "embarrassment", and asked, "The consul has made a request, I don't know what you want?" There is one thing that needs to be explained first, Neupera is very dangerous. At noon the day before yesterday, we had sent a ninth-order martial artist to investigate, but in the end we were killed. ”
"Ninth Order?"
The Seventh Princess looked pale and muttered, "This is terrible, even if you don't get separated on the road, you probably won't be able to enter Neupera, after all, he is only a ninth-order ......."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was just within the range of the archon's reach.
Separated?
After scrutinizing these words, the consul suddenly became stunned. Before, he was still suspicious that the Human Empire had sent a princess, but it had not sent a corresponding guard. Originally, he thought that it was because the empire felt that with the people of the Apocalypse Sect accompanying him, most of the Spirit Clan would not dare to act rashly. It turns out that the truth is like this, a ninth-order master sent doesn't know how to get separated!
Although the exact cause is unknown, it is true that only five humans entered Andafdo, and one of them was injured and is still asleep.
In this way, it is likely that some terrifying monster was attacked on the road?
One of the guards fought desperately and was seriously injured, and the other ninth-order powerhouse may have been trying to lure away that powerful demonic beast and never returned......
It must be so, yes!
The archon, who thought that he had figured out the cause and effect, suddenly calmed down in his heart, and deliberately provoked the seventh princess in a disdainful tone: "Why? As soon as you hear that there is danger, you don't dare to go? It turns out that the sincerity of you human beings is only that. Or did you already know that the Violent Raiders didn't exist, and that there was no source of the plague in Neupera?"
These words were still very heavy, almost forcing the seventh princess to agree.
However, the consul is cunning, even if he set a trap on the seventh princess, he was not careless, but continued to put a chain on it: "Your Majesty, since the seventh princess is willing to help investigate Neupera, it is naturally the best." Our Spirit Clan has already sacrificed a lot of people there, and I think that with the Seven Princesses doing it for us, there is no need for our people to go over and help, do you say yes?"
He was worried that the Seventh Princess would ask the queen for help, and if he paid a certain price, maybe this queen would really dare to send a holy order.
“...... Well, as you say, let humanity prove their innocence. ”
The queen groaned, and reluctantly agreed.
"One more thing. The archon stepped forward again and said coldly, "The army of my Spirit Clan has already been drawn out, and every day of delay will waste unimaginable resources. If they make up their minds to delay and investigate it for ten days and a half months, won't our people be held back by them like this?"
was repeatedly pressed to ask like this, the queen's face was very ugly, but the consul's words were very reasonable, she had no way to refute, so she could only continue to nod and say: "Reasonable, then in your opinion, how long is it better?"
The archon looked at the pale-faced Seventh Princess, and a happy pride appeared in his heart, he raised three fingers and said, "Three days, no more!"
"It's too short. ”
The queen glanced at the Seventh Princess and turned back to reject the consul. She touched her forehead, exhaled, seemed to be controlling her emotions, and finally said: "Just five days, don't fight anymore, the province will spread the word that my spirit clan is unreasonable." ”
"Good!"
Three days or five days doesn't really matter to the consuls, as long as the seventh princess agrees to this, the result is doomed. He said in a tone of words: "Five days is five days, if the human race can't investigate anything useful in Nojpera, then don't blame our clan for being polite!"
The queen nodded, her face was slightly cold, and she said in a cold voice: "On the other hand, if they did discover the source of the plague and poison in Noypera, then it proves that Morgan's letter is correct, this tragedy is indeed the work of the violent search and arrest team, and it has nothing to do with the Lanwu Empire!"
This......
Although he was completely in control of the course of things, the Archon still felt a little uneasy in his heart. However, he carefully thought through the details, and for a while he did not find any problems. After a moment's hesitation, he confirmed to the Queen again: "This is the mission of the Human Mission, there are only four of them at most, and Her Majesty cannot send anyone else to accompany him." ”
"That being said, but the alien humans are not familiar with Neupera, and it is all right for me to send someone as a guide to guide them?"
"I wonder who the Queen is going to send?"
"Rest assured, the Archon is just a guide. Do you think that's going to work, just let Kakun go?"
Kakun?
The archon recalled it in his mind and quickly got an impression. It seems that he is one of the queen's henchmen, a quasi-eighth order with great talent. Well, it's just an eighth-order, and even if you go, it shouldn't affect anything. Moreover, it would be interesting if this Eighth Order also died in Neupera.
Thinking so, he nodded in agreement.
So, in the council hall of Andafdo in the royal city, in the presence of hundreds of high-ranking members of the Fallen Spirit Clan, the queen's faction and the elder faction reached an agreement with the four-member human mission. Although the Queen's faction prevailed for a time, it was eventually forced by the Elders to make a pact. These poor humans from afar are going to spend five days in the ghost of Neupera!
That's big news......
What happened in the council hall was not hidden because there were so many witnesses. Only an hour after the meeting ended, all kinds of rumors had already spread throughout the city of Andafdo. Of course, there are also a lot of true news, and even the details are correct. Almost all of the Elves who are concerned about this know that humanity is going to investigate in Noypera!
The reaction of various forces to this incident has been mixed. There are those who applaud, those who hope that humans will not be able to get out if they go in, and of course, there are also some unprejudiced spirit people who are beginning to worry. If the Seven Princesses of the Empire and the exorcist of the Apocalypse Cult really died in Neupera, then this hatred would be great. However, the Fallen Spirit Race does not have any advantage in front of such two major forces.
This is really bad, I can only hope that the eighth-order guard sent by the queen can desperately escort them out at a critical moment. As long as people don't die, there is room for maneuver.
It's just that such an idea of self-comfort, in the face of the cruel reality that "the ninth-order master didn't come out either", there is always a bit of little hope.
.........
Regardless of the reaction outside, at this moment, the Seven Princesses and their expressions were full of joy and excitement after returning from the council hall. Although they had to venture to Neupera next, they got a chance to turn the tables around. As long as Morgan's letter was correct, they would win the bet with the House of Elders. In front of so many people, with the support of the Queen's faction, it would be difficult for the consuls to deny it, even if they wanted to.
At the very least, humanity will occupy the moral high ground by then.
The next five days will be the key to everything. Whether it is a battle for nothing, a guest death, or a successful mediation of the war and a return home with a huge political prestige, it all depends on this fight!
In addition to this good news, after returning to his residence, Lu Chengfeng also heard another good news from the guards sent by the queen: the eighth-order brought out of the shadow maze had come to his senses. Although still very weak, his sanity seems to be fine.
Knowing this, Lu Chengfeng rushed over as soon as possible. Previously, because of Lu Chengfeng's advice, the Spirit Clan gave him further treatment alone, and then locked him in the house alone. Now, this sword soul who has been banished to the Shadow Labyrinth by the Fallen Spirit Clan for several years, and when he wakes up and finds that he is back in the Fallen Spirit Clan, he must be very frightened and completely overwhelmed, right?
