17. Alfheim (IX)

ps: Ladies and gentlemen, there is a crisis of votes again! Roll and cover your face and kneel down to ask for a vote ~~~~~~~~ and then it will be presented at 8 o'clock in the evening! Thank you!

Due to the importance of the matter, the Council asked the military to provide details of the entire operation, troop personnel and weapons, schedules, and other planning details for reference and filing, so the Council received only a little less information than Stasi.

Li Lin has already made it clear enough that if he really wants to organize an investigation team to conduct a thorough investigation into the leakage of secrets. I'm afraid that some people with honorable status will be found out to be involved in embarrassing things involving some unclear people and things......

Secretly scolded, the speaker's dry and calm face spat out a new question:

"The report of Qing's adoption of a child has been submitted, is this human being the object of adoption?"

For the first time, the tone of the old-fashioned old elf became richer, and everyone looked at the conservative head in surprise, even though they understood that it was malicious.

"It is precisely after the completion of the legal process that Roland Dahlke is the object of guardianship. ”

"Qing's decision is out of time, and it's too arbitrary!"

The speaker's tone suddenly became stern, and fierce accusations poured into the young man with a straight back.

"Li Linqing! You are the hero who welcomed back Gramm, the outstanding leader of the army! Why did you make such a big mistake that is equivalent to collaborating with the enemy!!"

Not only is it righteous, but it is also very considerate to add heartache, especially in the word. The speaker worked extra hard, and if he had a gavel in his hand, the performance would be even better.

This is not a court, there is no jury and no lawyer, not even a judge and a defendant.

"Your Excellency, I don't understand what you mean. ”

Li Lin shook his head and smiled innocently.

"None of the following acts can be linked to collaborators, and if so, I hope that the members of the Council will be able to testify against them. ”

In the face of this obvious malice and cuteness, the usually calm Speaker Ernst blushed at once. Jumping up from the chair, he pointed at Roland with a thin finger like a chicken paw and roared:

"Why should you adopt as your adopted son, our mortal enemy, a mortal enemy?! What could be a more naked betrayal? Siegfried Otto Lilin!!"

The old man gritted his teeth with great indignation, opened his hands wide towards the ceiling, and roared:

"You may think that I am deliberately embarrassing Li Linqing and a powerless child, but Zhuqing, have you ever forgotten why the kingdom collapsed? If it weren't for the despicable blades stabbed from behind by humans and orcs, why would our generation have sunk to this point? How have humans persecuted us in the humiliating past 1,000 years? What patriarch dared to stand up and say that there were no clansmen in his clan who died at the hands of humans?"

Hands held high. The council chamber fell silent.

The elders who supported or were inclined to support Li Lin were also silent, and what Speaker Ernst had stated was the truth. The heavy past, which cannot be forgotten and cannot be forgotten, leaves no room for moral intervention in the face of the enemy.

On the other hand, Li Lin informed them early that there was a corresponding killer plan, and if the conservatives used the adoption issue to make trouble, let them wait and see what happened.

"So, does Speaker Ernst mean that I want Roland to be executed and then repentant?"

Li Lin smiled, a knife-like smile.

"That's the bare minimum requirement, Li Linqing. ”

The squinted eyes reflected a dusky glow of excitement. Fast and Johannes nodded triumphantly.

"Do you really have to do that?"

The boy soothed the boy who was trembling with anger, and his small body became a little cold due to nervousness.

"Because he was a child, he could be tormented by poison, or at least at the stake if he were an adult. ”

"Well, I'm so embarrassed, what should I do-"

Li Lin scratched his chin. With a wry smile:

"Speaker Ernst said that he wanted to kill humans, which sounds a bit aggressive, but there is a reason for it. But—"

Smack-

A vigorous applause. A sharp sneer sent words that made the council chamber boil in astonishment.

"What crime is used to kill a saint that is not mentioned at all in the current law?"

Speaker Ernst's mouth could be filled into his fist, and his close friends were shocked to drop their jaws, and the elders of the Li Lin faction and the neutral faction finally no longer had to continue their serious pretense, and laughed happily.

"You...... What are you talking about?How could such a ridiculous thing be?!"

"Oh, Speaker Ernst, didn't you read the last part of the report?"

Speaker Ernst, who was on the verge of collapse with his hair clutched, was still struggling, but Li Lin didn't even intend to give him a straw.

"According to the rules, in addition to the king who renews the contract with the Mother Goddess, there is also a non-elf witness to the ceremony, and Roland is the witness to the contract I made with the Mother Goddess. ”

The pale-faced old speaker slumped back in his chair, the attendants had already been gone, and the other 6 elders applauded vigorously, Li Lin continued to maintain a gentle and humble smile, only Roland didn't understand why the menacing old elf suddenly became only more breathless than a dead man, was it a powerful spell?

's title has nothing to do with spells, but it does have the same effect as talisman magic.

In Wilt, the title of saint is usually conferred only on those who are steadfast in their faith and who have been favored by the Mother Goddess to perform miracles. Those who can be enshrined as saints are all extremely good people who have been tried and tested unimaginably in the past, and sometimes they have to risk their lives for this.

But where it is not always absolute, there is also a relatively safe shortcut on the road to canonization - becoming a witness.

Originally, the choice of non-elves as ritual witnesses was a policy of the dominant elves to show the equality of all races. Later, there was also an intention to use this method to win over the wealthy families among humans and orcs.

On the whole, they are all efforts for the harmony of the country. Therefore, in addition to the honorable title, the ancient elven kings also gave the witnesses a heavy reward from the religious level - that is, the canonization of the witnesses.

In the teachings of the Mother Goddess, Gramm's contract is a living miracle left by the Mother Goddess in the world, and witnessing the Holy Face of the Mother Goddess is even more unimaginable grace. Therefore, to this day, the two major religious organizations recognize and worship the saints who witnessed the canonization of Wang Jian's pilgrimage in the past, and the situation on the elves' side is also about the same.

"Your Excellency the Speaker is bent on executing a saint, and we have nothing to say. It is only in the hope that the basis for the execution of the innocent saint can be found in the past and present legal texts, so that the citizens can understand the decision of the speaker. ”

Patriarch Jung happily mocked the conservative bereaved dogs, and Speaker Ernst looked at her, unable to say anything.
