Chapter 288 Jedi Counterattack
The tragedy happened suddenly, especially this tragedy far beyond the control of some people who are interested...
Behind Armenis, a young man who looked very inconspicuously took a half step forward silently. Armenis in front of him waved his hand without a trace and stopped him behind him. Then an unfathomable voice came into the young man's ears: "The situation is something wrong. Retuss or Isera may have moved some hands and feet on this child. ∽↗∽↗, Retuss is very unlikely. It is probably Isera's dragon language magic, but I don't know how she bypassed the contract constraints and used the power of the dragon."
"Even if the child is stained with 'dragon power' or even given 'dragon speech' or 'dragon soul', I won't take it seriously." The young man's lips remained motionless. This voice was formed by the stormy fighting spirit, and condensed into a line and introduced into Armenis's ears accurately. Even if others were pressed next to him, they could not hear it. Just the ability to control the fierce and violent fighting spirit into the arms and fingers was enough to make most of the War King-level strong men ashamed. General Zuo De, who was standing beside him, seemed to sweep across here accidentally, but a look of satisfaction flashed deep in his eyes.
"It's not until you've revealed your strength. I have raised so much waste, and now is the time for them to play."
After giving orders to the inconspicuous young man, Armenis looked away from Goron, looked at Isera beside him, and snorted coldly: "Madame Isera, what do you mean? The servant you brought to kill the guests invited by our Mourinho family in public for no reason. This is undoubtedly the most despicable and shameless murder. It is the provocation of this servant to our Mourinho family and a blasphemy of the sacred law. I will consider sending this matter to the Royal Presbyterian House for handling. I only hope that this incident was not directed by you personally, otherwise..."
Isera's eyes suddenly seemed to be about to spit out of fire. She was about to have an attack, and she was cautious. The look of pitiful Goron suddenly came over and stuck it between Isera and Armenis, and said softly, "Strange. Didn't that person be instructed by you to challenge me? I defeated him in a formal duel after accepting the challenge. He died just because I happened to be stronger than him. What does this have to do with despicability? How did it turn into murder? Speaking of provocation, by the way. I remember the law of the imperial capital.
It is clearly recorded that if you cannot produce conclusive evidence, it will be considered a serious crime of rudeness. If it is a public slander, the crime can be punished by beheading. If you have no title, you may be punished with disrespect for the prosecution. If you have no title, you will be punished with disrespect for the prosecution. If you remember correctly, Mrs. Iserra was given the title of honorary marquis more than a hundred years ago. Although this title cannot be hereditary, it is lifelong. What about you? Although you are from a noble family, I think you have not received any official title yet."
At this time, Goron had already faintly noticed the situation at the scene, and he was undoubtedly tied to the marshal's wife. He had no choice but to choose. Once Isera lost completely, the fate of him, the "uncle" could be imagined. But the problem is that Isera obviously has no eloquent attributes, and he had to fight back. Fortunately, Goron's palace and court trial stories were not in vain, and he was not completely confused about how to intervene in this alternative battlefield. I won't mention whether the killing just now constitutes a "duel". In short, I will just take the woman's hat first.
After hearing Goron's words, Armenis's face suddenly turned pale, and it was not until this time that everyone suddenly realized that the object they despised and mocked. The foolish dragon was actually a lifelong honorary marquis. It's no wonder they were. After all, Isera's title was too long. Even the imperial emperor had changed several positions, so there were still a few people who could remember it for a long time. I'm afraid that even the marshal's wife herself had forgotten it, and her sudden expression at this moment directly proved this point.
But Isera is the ancient dragon clan with a long and long life. For ordinary human races, "lifelong honor" can only last for decades, but it falls on her almost eternal. This kind of thing that seems to exist only in the story is difficult to realize. Instead, it is still fresh in memory of Goron, a little ogre who grew up listening to legendary hero stories. Today, the stubborn and old-fashioned court teacher deliberately arranged the course for Goron, who "has a lowly background" and emphasized this kind of content. Goron learned and sold it now, and even gave Armenis a heavy blow.
The empire has a thousand years of history. Although the aristocratic circle is huge and bloated, the imperial capital is full of wealthy families, and there are many nobles as many as dogs. However, due to the hard regulations of the ancient law, the granting of formal titles is very strict. In ordinary aristocratic families, only the eldest son can inherit the formal titles inherited from the family. Most of the other titles contain the word "honor". Although this seems to be no different in the eyes of ordinary people, in truly rigorous occasions, an honorary count must be one head shorter in front of a formal viscount of ancient inheritance.
The peerless beauty Amanda, who was favored by the emperor in every way, was born in a humble family of tyrants and was not the eldest son of the family. Even though he was able to cover the sky with the power of the emperor, he could only obtain the title of official earl until now. This glory is firmly bound to Emperor Durothal. Once Count Amanda loses the emperor's favor, his status can be said to be instantly pushed to the bottom and his end is terrible.
Armenis was the only beloved daughter of General Zuod, and a famous magic genius who was a master of the emperor. On weekdays, even the Count Viscount, who was officially inherited, would shake his tail in front of her. However, the empire has always been superior to men and women. There are only a handful of women in the entire empire with honorary titles, and they are all from the royal family. Those who have formal titles have never heard of them. So strictly speaking, Armenis took off his father's halo and was only a child of an ordinary wealthy family. Not to mention facing a lifelong honorary marquis, even a baron of honor and a viscount of honor, if he was really strictly judged by the law of the empire, just a crime of rudeness and disrespect for the superior nobles would be enough to send her to the execution ground to beheaded.
Of course, besides the untouchable ancient iron laws of the empire, other laws have already had great expansion and contraction. Even the imperial Elders' House would not be so stupid that they really strictly judged according to the law. However, Goron's counterattack undoubtedly hit the key point of Armenis. It was not until this time that everyone suddenly realized that the beautiful boy who looked a little cowardly and shy. That beautiful coat was completely disguised. Not only did he start to move wildly and viciously, leaving no room for room, but his breathing mouth was also fierce and fatal.
******************
Just as the atmosphere began to change, Armenis suddenly said coldly: "Hmph! I'm standing here. I want to see who dares to sue me in the Elder's Court." When women can't explain the truth clearly, they are still quite unreasonable. Isera's position in the imperial capital aristocratic circle is very awkward, which is caused by many reasons, and it is not the last day or two. Compared with this, although Armenis does not have a title, he is the only beloved daughter of the second-ranked figure of the imperial capital military. He is the object of countless wealthy families competing for, including ancient wealthy families and even royal descendants.
By the way, Armenis' identity may go further at any time, and it is not impossible to enter the royal family. Who would offend the other party for the sake of an Isera who was sealed in a human body and had a cold relationship with her husband? Besides, as a discerning person, you can see that this matter is definitely not as simple as it seems. General Zuo De, as a parent. Although the organizer of this cocktail party taught his daughter a lesson at the beginning, when the situation further developed, although he looked angry, he said nothing, "I think this daughter is spoiled by me, and I can't do anything to her."
Let the situation worsen.
People who are involved in the aristocratic circle can be incompetent and timid waste, but they must not be fools who cannot understand the air and cannot see the atmosphere clearly. Although incompetence is not worthy of pride, it generally will not affect the power and status of the family. But stupidity is unforgivable, because sometimes speaking more words or making a wrong choice may make the entire family doomed.
At this time, those who were not really involved began to get cautious. They stopped talking and carefully observed the reactions of others. Others who had already chosen a good camp had come to their position and expressed their attitude. Since Armenis proudly glanced at the audience and completely tore his face, they immediately became active and laughed disdainfully at Goron and Isera.
A tall young man with a stature of dissociated fourth-level seal walked to Golong, slapped the silver wine glass on the table beside him into a thin piece of silver, and then stared at Golong with a cold smile: "Just like you, an unknown... a little brat, dared to speak to Miss Armenis, and even forgot the duty of the untouchables. It seems that someone would remind you and teach you how to talk to a noble noble!" He said this very smartly. Not only did he take back sensitive words that might make people catch a handle in time, but he also avoided the "Rong," whose identity had changed.
"Marquis of Honor" Isera turned the target of the attack back to Goron. After all, no matter what, before the formal adoption procedure is completed, Goron's identity cannot be shown, and even after careful investigation, they will find more problems. The young man's counterattack is undoubtedly quite powerful. If it weren't for the distance between him and Goron being a bit embarrassing and seemingly lacking confidence, then his performance would undoubtedly add a lot of points. But this cannot be blamed for the bold and cruelty of Goron killing the enemy with one blow, and his unscrupulousness was still a bit too exciting for the spoiled young men.
"Oh? Can you really teach me? That's great!" A hint of joy flashed across Goron's face. He was an ogre who had never seen many worlds. Dealing with these troubled nobles made him feel a little at a loss and trembling, fearing that he would accidentally mess up everything. If this young man could really teach him how to talk to a noble, he would be really grateful.
Ge Long was cruel and cruel, like a cold-blooded killer, and sometimes as smart and cunning as a slick politician who had been living for many years. Now he has become an innocent and ignorant child who believes in everything. Although these are all his true nature, it is a pity that Ge Long sincerely asked for advice, and was naturally understood by everyone as his intentional and artificial duel challenge, especially when Ge Long followed him, "So, can we start now?" He completely forced the tall young man into a dead end.
Farmiga's figure who had just died inexplicably flashed in front of the tall young man's eyes. He was shocked and angry, but he said in a hurry: "I, I don't want to duel with you! What are you? A pariah? Maybe even a slave or a child's plaything! Why should I accept your challenge? You, you are not qualified at all!"
"Yes, he is not a nobleman. He is not qualified to stand here at all!"
"Where is the gendarmerie! This guy killed a nobleman in public on such a noble occasion. According to the law, he should be subject to the punishment of soul-drawing and beheading! He should be taken to the dungeon immediately, waiting for the divine judgment!"
“…”
A large group of people shouted wildly. Isera wanted to refute, but found that she had nothing to say and could do nothing. Even she knew that adopting her adopted son and daughter was not a simple matter, and the procedures were very complicated. Not only did she have to apply for registration in the ethnic management agency, but also handle relevant ceremonies in formal occasions and under the auspices of the Holy See. That would not be done in a day or two, but she could not confirm it with a word. The group of people bit this hard at this point and did not give her any room to speak. When it comes to playing power, intrigue, and fighting against each other, his ancient dragon is like a child and a young child compared to these small and pathetic humans. But she now has to abide by the rules of the human game, which can only be said to be a helplessness.
"Who said he doesn't have the qualification!"
A lazy voice suddenly sounded. The sound was not loud, just like talking normally, but it made everyone here hear it clearly in this extremely noisy environment. General Zuode's brow frowned slightly, while Armenis, who had gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth before, looked stunned and said in a low voice as if he was talking to himself: "Strange, why is it him? Why did he appear here? Is it... no, there is no reason?"
"If the situation changes later, do I need to take action?" The inconspicuous young man whispered behind Armenis again. Armenis pondered for a moment, but did not answer.
Just when everyone was surprised, a handsome man wearing a full set of heavy armor and showing a shrill momentum of blood appeared in front of Ge Long as if emerging from a vacuum. He swept the young nobles surrounded by Ge Long to the side as if they were underestimated, smiled meaningfully at Ge Long, and the next moment he was half kneeling on the ground. He put a badge in his hand and respectfully presented it to Ge Long.
"That! That's...that's the clan of the Marshal's family...the clan emblem!"
The young man suddenly appeared was Rhine, the dragon cavalry general who had dealt with not long ago, one of the right-hand arms of the Imperial Marshal Retuss. The things he held in his hand to offer to Goron were very familiar with, and it can be said that it was something that everyone had.
That is the family emblem that makes it into the necklace style.
It has been said before. This kind of magic emblem exclusive to the superior nobles is not simple. It is engraved with the owner's family emblem, magic seal, and soul mark. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a symbol of the status of aristocrats, and the proof of identity is not an exaggeration.
Retuss sent his confidants to send the family's emblem to Goron at this moment. The intention was self-evident, that is, he had officially recognized Goron's identity as "adopted son"... No, even an adopted son, in theory, is not qualified to obtain a formal family emblem.
With this thing, there is no need for approval procedures, a bullshit ceremony.
The sudden statement made by Retuss undoubtedly shocked everyone. The conflicts within the Marshal's family, his indifference to his wife, was no longer a secret in the circle, and Issera's sudden adoption decision was even more obvious. The absurd and stupid things the lady did in the aristocratic circle were no longer one or two, and this ridiculous adoption was impossible to obtain Retuss' recognition. This is also an important reason why they dared to offend Goron to death.
Retuss' sudden intervention warrant suddenly reversed, and the nobles standing on Armenis' side suddenly became quiet. They did not think it would be a big deal to offend a untouchable child without a formal identity. Even if they were killed, they would be at most a loss. Especially after Goron killed a nobleman in public, no one thought he could still walk out of here alive, even if the person standing behind him was a titular lady of marshal.
But facing the head-on Marshal of God, Retuss himself is a completely different thing. Although the legendary figure usually lacks realism like air, everyone knows his existence, but they always ignore him inadvertently. However, once they think about his actions, they may anger the legendary big man, thinking alone will make them weak and tremble.
At this moment, no one noticed that when he saw the magic emblem handed to his eyes, the shock flashed in Geron's eyes and the endless fear.
The reason is that this emblem, Goron is very familiar with, because it is exactly what Goron had hidden on him not long ago, the magic emblem of Mary, who once belonged to Retussus's beloved daughter, who was killed by Goron himself.
