Summoning the Holy Sword

Chapter 497: Conflict (V)

Hearing this sentence, Rhodes had a soft smile on his face, and he was standing in the middle of the hall just like that, but the nobles projected his eyes on him, but he didn't even say a word-had to say The statement of the parliamentary ambassador of Light was indeed surprising. The incidents on the Solagang Mountain Territory were all over the continent, and it is naturally impossible for these nobles to know nothing about it. But even they did not know the truth of the whole thing. At this moment the envoys of the Parliament of Light heard this, everyone looked a little more shocked and surprised at Rhode's eyes. In all fairness, they do not believe what the other side is saying. The relationship between the Parliament of Light and the Principality of Munn was not good at all, and it is not once or twice to discredit Munn. The second reason is that Rhodes has just accepted Lydia ’s award. Although it is only a low-level baron, everyone knows that this is only a political statement, and Lydia obviously uses this matter to show everyone that she will not give up. Rhodes. If Rhodes was indeed the culprit of the Solagang Mountain Territory incident, would Lydia do so?

"Please continue, Mr. Envoy."

Lydia, who was sitting on the throne, didn't even change her expression, so she looked at the fat pug in front of her, waiting for his next step to speak. Hearing Lidia ’s words, Danny looked up proudly. He first glanced at Rhodes disdainfully, and then took out a stack of thick paper from his arms and continued to speak.

"His Royal Highness, I can assure you that what I am going to describe next is the clearest evidence and witnesses that came out after being reviewed and investigated by the Council of Light ...." Swing and then speak.

"Please allow me to summon my witnesses."

"no problem."

After hearing the envoy of the Light Council, Lydia nodded slightly, while the other side reached out and made a gesture to his subordinates, and soon two guards turned to leave. It didn't take long for the two guards to walk into the hall with a young man—he looked about twenty-seven or eighty-year-old, wearing a luxurious dress. Although he was handsome in appearance, he raised his hand However, it feels very embarrassing, just like a patient who has recovered from a serious illness and hasn't taken a good rest.

This young man who looked a little shy walked into the palace under the guidance of the guards. He came to the ambassador of the Council of Light and saluted the people present respectfully before he said.

"Hello, Your Highness Lydia, my name is Zieg Elanick, the representative of the Elanick Consortium in Solagang Hills, and I swear with the honor of my family that I saw the beginning and end of everything on that day ......... "

Alanick?

Hearing this name, Rhode gave him a glance and said that it seemed that he had seen the young man in the lobby before the meeting began, but he had no impression after the disturbance began, but now It seems that this guy's life is also big enough to survive the crisis-but Rhodes doesn't think the other party is just luck.

However, the trouble this family brought to Rhodes was not less than that.

Thinking of this, Rhodes can't help but grind his teeth, first Marin, and now Soragang Mountain Territory. This Elanic consortium is really afraid of its lack of existence, and is always looking for work for itself whenever and wherever it is. These guys must be on the list, but now what Rhode needs to care about is obviously not the problem ... Thinking of this, Rhode can't help looking at the ministers next to Lydia, only to see Lydia wearing a dress The old man in the white robe and the golden staff was at the moment looking at the man with a little disgust. Of course, Rhodes knows where his disgust comes from—because this old man is the patriarch of the Shania family, one of the three main families of the Principality of Muen, and Marin's biological father. He is a child when he is old. The baby girl, a rare magic genius, was almost made a slave by the Elanic family ......... Hey, Rhodes do n’t need to think about it. If it is not for the face of the principality, I am afraid that the Xenia family would be at peace The Elanic Consortium went to war. Although it is said that Alannick is also the premier consortium in the country of light, the accumulation of the Xenia family over the years is not blind. This requires the two sides to fight each other, which is no less than a war between nations.

It's a little smaller.

When Rod was thinking wildly, maybe he noticed his eyes, the old man looked away and looked at him, and when he saw the old man staring at himself, Rod also knew that there was some rudeness, he nodded to the old patriarch, and planned to Look back. However, Rhodes did not expect that in the face of his return, the old man pressed his free left hand to his chest, solemnly and seriously returned a gift to Rhodes, and then the old man looked at Rhodes and smiled slightly. His eyes regained his immediate expression.

This made Rhodes somewhat surprised. No matter in terms of status or status, he was far from being able to stand by with the family chief who has the most influence and sense of presence in the Principality of Muen, although it may be because of a series of previous events. , He will have a good impression on himself, but he will not salute himself in public. It's not just like that.

Thinking of this, Rhodes was also found in the crowd at this moment, and several sharp eyes were also swept towards himself at this moment. It is obvious that the communication between himself and the Patriarch of Xenia has attracted some people's attention, but Rhodes also He didn't care much, but refocused on the description of the young aristocracy in front of him.

As the saying goes, if you want to make people believe, then it is not true that it is completely true, and it is not true that it is completely false. The best way is to mix true, false and true. This kind of lie is the hardest to expose, and the young aristocrat, who claims to be Zig-Elanic, is obviously researching this. His story is well-organized, but not all the truth. In this young man's statement, the appearance of the old parliamentarian until the earthquake broke out and the fire of chaos completely coincided with Rod's memory, but then it was a bit biased. I do n’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He "ignored" Rhode's appearance, but said that when the fire of chaos erupted, he noticed that he had left the Mithril Hall badly, and then he stumbled upon a suspicious man in black, which made Zieg He was curious, and using the power of magic equipment, he secretly followed the suspicious character, and then saw them enter the stone temple. Then, he saw the suspicious character and the monitor, and then the two released the seal, and the demon duke also So he woke up from the ground. Originally, Zig intended to leave, but at this moment, he found that the suspicious black man and the monitor had a dispute ......... It must be said that the level of Zig's storytelling was indeed high, but Rhodes listened more The more frowning, because Zige's content is not too different from what he and others have personally experienced, but just cleverly tampered with several key parts, which shows that this guy is not all imaginary, there must be Someone provided him with the material-and that person should be one of the companions killed from the Solagang Mountain Territory with himself.

But who is it?

Now Rhodes can be sure that 100% of the people who left the Solagang Mountain Territory with themselves sold the story to the Council of Light, but who was it? Up to now, Rhodes did not get any answer, so instead of speaking, he closed his mouth and listened quietly to the young man's speech.

"......... Finally, I see that the terrible demon is moving in the direction of the Dragon Soul of the Light. In order to warn my country to be prepared to be invaded by the demon, I did not continue to follow, but left using teleporting props And returned to the kingdom of light. As for what happened later, I don't know. "

And at this time, Zieg's narrative ends here.

"I understand everything you said."

After listening to Zieg's narrative, Lydia nodded, and she took a meaningful look at Rhodes before asking.

"So, what does all this have to do with Lord Rhodes?"

"Excuse me, Your Highness, at that time, I had inadvertently seen the face of the man in black ......... that is the face of this gentleman."

"... Are you sure you read it right?"

"Absolutely not, I swear by the reputation of the family, and ..."

Speaking of this, Zieg even glanced at Rhodes with a playful look.

"With such a distinctive character of this gentleman, it is really difficult to forget."

Hearing Zieg ’s answer, there was a little laughter from the crowds around. Although they had n’t concluded whether Zieg ’s words were true or not, it ’s certain that at least this sentence was indeed correct. Rhodes' outstanding appearance features, once ordinary people see him, they will certainly be very impressed. It's like the young noble son-in-law in the city of the eagle. They only met Rhode at the Midsummer Festival, and when they escaped, they saw him and recognized him at a glance.

Sometimes the characteristics are too clear and not good.

"I have heard your statement."

Lydia turned a deaf ear to those laughter in private, she just looked at the young man quietly, then said calmly.

"However, these are just your side words, Mr. Alanick, you must admit that you have no evidence to prove your claim."

"His Royal Highness, these are confirmed by the Council of Light, and nothing is false!"

Upon hearing Lydia's answer, Danny frowned and said coldly. The smirk that was hanging on the face just now began to dissipate at this moment, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Lidia's behavior of finding an excuse. "After Mr. Zieg returned, the Council of Light sent a mage from his memory to trace back to the scene at that time, and based on this scene, we confirmed that his words were not false. And in order to find this One of the culprits that led to the disaster, Mr. Zieg even dragged the sick to assist us in soul traceability. "

Then, Mr. Danny held out his hand with excitement and anger, and signaled everyone to pay attention to this shy young man beside him.

"For justice, he is even willing to find the murderer at the cost of hurting his soul. Can this still be faked?"

Story writing is also hierarchical.

Although this fat Member looked like he was filled with indignation and righteousness, the crowd present was not so easily fooled. Soon, Lydia gave a new question.

"So, as evidence, I hope to be able to see with my own eyes the magic image traced back from this gentleman's soul. This should not be an excessive request, is it?"

"This is certainly not an excessive request."

Speaking of which, Mr. Fat is still a brazen figure, which makes Rhodes a little curious. He knows better than anyone. Although the Masters do have all the spells that they can follow from the souls of others , But this spell is based on facts after all. Even if Mr. Alanick's imagination is more abundant, he will not be able to keep in his soul what he has never experienced. But now this pug is so calm ......... what exactly can he rely on?

Soon, Rhode's question was answered.

"But before that, I hope Her Royal Highness can explain why the seal of the Duke of Demons, which should have been closely guarded by your Principality, was lifted? And what was the intention of the man going to the Solagang Territory ?! Why did you seal off the Duke of Demons with the Overseer !? "

That's it! !!

Hearing this sentence, Rhodes finally understood why the Council of Light was so fearless.

Even if all of their content is fabricated, there is a hurdle that Lydia can't get around in any way, that is, she must explain to the parliament why the demon duke's seal was lifted. As for this guy named Zieg Elanic, he just appeared to be a stepping stone for this, and to find a way out for Lithia's excuse. Obviously, the Light Council must have heard of the incident from somebody, and then adapted the incident. In this way, as long as someone accuses the accident of being artificial, then Lydia will not be able to Passing the whole thing off to an accident or something else to lighten one's responsibility-the Council of Light obviously does not intend to give Lydia any retreat.

Unfortunately, Rhodes is not easy to mess with.

"Please wait."

Thinking of this, Rhode smiled slightly and then said.

"Sorry for the inquiries of the parliament, but ... I have a completely different opinion on what Mr. Alanick said."

"Why .........!"

Hearing here, Mr. Danny's complexion changed slightly, he stared at Rhodes fiercely, yelling in a low voice.

"You're blatantly skeptical of the parliament's judgment! Do you defile the parliament's reputation? The perpetrator? !!!"

"Sorry, I have no interest in the ideas of a group of old men who stand around an old wooden table."

Rhode glanced at each other, and then he gave an answer with almost no stagnation. When he heard this answer, the whole hall seemed to be blown by a cold wind, silently.

The nobles widened their eyes in surprise and looked at the young man standing above the temple leisurely. They had never seen anyone make such a disrespectful statement on the Council of Light on such a formal occasion, although he said that the Principality of Moon and Light The relationship between the parliaments has long been stiff enough to be resolved, but considering the face of the two sides, the nobles who are dissatisfied with the Principality of Muen are only complaining in private, but did not expect that the young man who has just won the title now is actually in In this large court, it was polite to give the other party such an embarrassment!

For a moment, there was a silence in the hall, and it wasn't until Senator Danny's angry voice broke out that it broke this weird silence.

"You, you are insulting and provocative! I want to protest !!! Protest !!!"

"Please be quiet, Mr. envoy."

Lydia's statement showed that she did not intend to make any corrections to Rhode's statement.

"This is a sacred and fair place. We have the right to listen to everyone's speech. You have here told the facts brought about by the Council of Light. Well, as the party accused of being in Parliament, I think we have You need to listen to him, don't you? "

"This, this ........."

Hearing here, Mr. Danny couldn't help hesitating, and had to say that Lydia's attack point was very good. She did not deny that Rhodes had nothing to do with it. On the contrary, since even your council of light recognized Rhodes and This matter is related, so for the description of this matter, we naturally have to listen to Rod's statement.

Mr. Danny is not ignorant of this, so he just gave up for a while, and soon calmed down.

"Of course there is no problem, Her Royal Highness, but I don't think a perpetrator can say anything worth our research."

"It's only known if I've heard it."

Speaking of which, Lydia nodded to Rhodes, and seeing this scene, Rhodes quickly stepped forward, saluting everyone gracefully and formally.

"Like Mr. Alanick, I am willing to swear with the honor of my family, everything I said is completely true. But until then ... I hope to get permission from His Royal Highness, because I speak, It is likely to involve some confidential events. "

"No problem, Luo Deqing, please speak."

"Okay, Your Highness."

Hearing here, many aristocrats immediately raised their spirits. If Zieg ’s statement before them was just listening, then Rhode attracted their attention with just that sentence. After all, Rhode explained in public It is very likely that he will reveal some secrets, and these secrets will be told only with the permission of Lydia. People are longing for gossip. Seeing that Rhodes is so serious about playing seriously, many people have already trusted him a bit more --- after all, no one is idle to perform on this occasion.

"............... A few days ago, our Starlight Guild received a special order from His Royal Highness Lydia."

Seeing that his actions had attracted everyone's attention, Rod quickly said.

"At that time, there was some trouble within the Solagang Mountain Territory. As the President of the Solagang Mountain Territory Council, he was attacked by unknown persons for some reason. Her Highness Leader, Lydia, was naturally aware of this situation, but due to the special surname of the Solagang Mountain Territory, she could not send regular soldiers to assist, so she commissioned our Starlight Guild to enter the Solagang Mountain Region. Lead, rescue the old parliamentary. "

Upon hearing this, many nobles nodded. After all, they were also very clear about the rules and status of the Principality of Muen, plus the special surname of the Solagang Mountain Territory. If this happened, then Lydia It is reasonable to choose the mercenary guild to complete without sending troops.

"... I will not go into more details in the middle process. In the end, we rescued the old parliamentary leader and successfully brought him to the Mithril Palace before the Solagang Mountain Territory Council was convened ......... this is in love Mr. Lannick also stated in his words. "

Speaking of which, Rhode paused, then smiled and looked at the white-haired young man not far away.

"Yes, Mr. Alanick, when you attended the Solagang Mountain Leadership Conference, the old parliamentarian did appear, right?"

"This, this ........."

I didn't expect Rhode to question himself, which made Zieg a little helpless, but what he said just now had no way to swallow it, so he nodded.

"Yes, the old parliament did attend the Solagang Mountain Territory Conference, but we have not heard of him before ..."

"I just want your confirmation."

Before Zieg's words were finished, Rhode interrupted his speech relentlessly, and then he turned his head and continued.

"However, we are all aware that the attack on the Lord parliament is likely to happen again. For the sake of caution, we sought the help of the Ombudsman, and for the tranquility of the Solagang Mountain Territory, the Ombudsman also agreed to help us. Looking for the murderer who attacked the Lord of the Parliament-but at this time, the force who saw that his plan had failed attacked the Holy Land while the Lord Ombudsman was attending the Mountain Territory Council, and did not know what method was used to lift the original The seal of security in the Holy Land forcibly awakened the Duke of Demons. "

Speaking of which, Rhodes sank slightly.

"Although Lord Overseer and I rushed back to the Holy Land in a timely manner and killed those lunatics, the lifting of the Duke's seal was irreversible. In order to curb further damage to the mainland by the Duke Duke, the Lord Overseer had to sacrifice his own Life to suppress the evil demon, and I took the opportunity to escape the Solagang Mountain Territory with the remaining seal, and successfully led it away and eventually destroyed the demon ... "

"A bullshit!"

Before Rhode's words were finished, he was interrupted by Mr. Danny's anxiety. He stared angrily and glared at Rhodes.

"Cunning sinners, even if your tongue is brilliant, you can't eliminate the crime you committed! You are simply nonsense! This is not the truth of the truth at all! Besides, you say there is a force attacking the Holy Land, The seal was lifted, so what are you talking about? "

"This question ... Mr. Danny, are you sure you want to know the answer?"

"Of course, do you dare to say it? In front of so many people? I want to know, what forces dare to do such a bold act in the Solagang Mountain Territory?"

Speaking of which, Danny could not help looking at Rhodes with a smug smile. Obviously, he didn't think Rhodes had any intelligence information, but Rhodes didn't need it at all.

"Can you say it?"

"of course can."

Speaking of which, Rhode reached out and tidy up his clothes, then reached into his arms and pulled out a brass badge.

"This is what I got from the attackers ......... The four-leaf clover is trimmed with gold, and the dragon's wings are carved ........." Speaking here, Rhode turned around and looked At this moment I don't know why the parliamentary envoy is a little pale.

"If my memory is not wrong, this should be something of the Council of Light, isn't it, Lord?"
