Chapter 12: Son of the Times(1/2)
The great era is coming, and the Celtics continent has already been in full swing.
Everything that happened on the Colin Peninsula was just a small ripples compared to the heavy confrontation in the Northland.
However, there can be ripples today and tsunami tomorrow. It’s just a matter of time. However, there may not be many people who can understand this.
When you have nothing, you will have the courage to fight against the sky and the earth, because you have nothing to lose. That may be the time when you are the strongest.
When you are rich, you will be afraid. Because you have many things to lose, but not much you can get. That may be the time when you are most vulnerable.
The entire high court was in an uproar, and everyone was discussing it. Whether it was the blood nobles, the blood lords, the blood lords, the blood lords, the free people of various other races, or even slaves, everyone was discussing it.
"I really can't believe it, the elders said, 'We need time to discuss it, there is no way to answer your question immediately.' Guess how he answered it?"
"How did you answer?"
“He said, ‘Okay, I’ll give you time.’”
The people in the tavern were suddenly in an uproar.
...
"That's not judgment, it's not at all."
"Jones Grugru is the Lich King at all, and there is no possibility of the Senate to judge him. He is respectful on the surface, but that is only on the surface. He knows his identity and the elders know it. It was a diplomatic negotiation. He did not give any room for maneuver. The whole process, I only heard the threat. I was at the scene at that time."
The nobles at the tea party also showed surprise expressions.
...
"The Senate is our common ancestor. How could he deny the Senate?"
"That's just for us, he already has a dual identity. The law of the blood clan no longer applies to him. The so-called obedience is just the surface. He even said that we should deprive us of our comfortable life."
"Will the senator listen to him?"
"I don't know, but because of his speech, the Senate delayed the announcement of the decision."
The speaker shook his head helplessly.
The listener is silent.
Freedom, a good life, and justice, these things can only be used to convince oppressed slaves, and have no meaning to the slave owners. Because they already have them.
However, the news that the senators delayed the decision was not believed.
If one word is used to describe the blood clans of the High Court at this moment, it would probably be "holding their breath". Yes, hold their breath. The blood clans of the High Court held their breath, and the shock was even greater than the appearance of Giant Snake City at the beginning.
Unlike a day ago, no one was gloating anymore, because the attitude of the Senate had told everyone that although this was a child, it was a child who could wrestle with their supreme Senate.
...
"Do we need to install eyeliner around Prince Louis's castle?"
"No need, please withdraw them all." Prince Harrez sighed and replied softly: "It's meaningless. The elders will take over this matter completely. Our actions are no longer important."
"What if the Senate really agreed with what he said?"
"Then... we can only make peace with him and strive to have a place in the new changes." Prince Harrez said with a dark face.
This is a difficult decision, but that's the reality.
...
"Why is this happening? I really don't understand. Will the veteran know how much strength he has before the hearing begins? How could he change his decision just because of his few words?" Tarselle had already beat his chest and stamped his feet.
"Of course, the elders know. Do you remember what he said about the blood clan transformation?"
"I can't convince that paragraph, let alone the elders."
"The one alone is indeed not convincing, but it is convincing in combination with the other. He has already replied to the Senate Council in disguise. If it is necessary to enforce it, it will inevitably lead to war. Even if he loses, he will definitely fight. 'Promise is more important than life.' You can feel the meaning of this sentence."
"Hmm...? I don't understand."
"The main premise that the blood clan must change is that the situation in the mainland has affected the blood clan. The premise of the Elderly Council assumes that the situation in the mainland will not affect the blood clan. After all, we have not been affected much in the past tens of thousands of years. But... if he firmly declares war, it will inevitably affect it. After the premise replacement, the subsequent conclusions will be completely different. The elders must rediscuss the possible situation in the future."
Teslis was stunned and stared at her lazy brother Isido: "Who told you these? These are definitely not what you thought of."
“Louis.”
"Prince Louis? He is Adale's father, and you actually keep in touch with him?"
"It's only been a day since I contacted me." Isido spread his hands and said, "He was meant to beg for mercy. After all, if the hearing was really determined according to the decisions of the elders at the beginning, no matter which Jones chose, they would be miserable. Although it seems that they might be even worse now. Hahaha."
Talis gasped heavily, his eyes slowly narrowed into a slit.
At this moment, the door knocked.
"Please come in."
The one who walked in was a strong blood clan waiter. He respectfully saluted to Telis and Isido, and then said, "Miss, Master. The head of the family told me to inform you to stop all actions against the Giant Snake City. Do not make any moves until the situation is clear. Stay silent."
Talis slowly opened her eyes wide and looked at the waiter. After a while, she realized: "Okay, I understand."
Looking at his younger brother, Telis said helplessly: "Why are there no descendants like Jones Dracula in our Gangro family? He was born in such a withered family. Is this ridiculing us all?"
...
In the dim fire, the seven princes of the Sambo family gathered together again and surrounded the round table. But there was only silence, as if there was endless silence.
When the problem rises to the point where the entire blood clan reform needs to be considered by the senatorial church, it is no longer possible for several major families to decide or intervene privately. Any unnecessary actions that are not done well may become a handle for the future of the crime. No one is willing to try it.
...
Vampire is a deformed race, which is different from almost all other races.
On the one hand, they have all the characteristics of dark attributes, and are even more prominent in their arrogant, extravagant, unprogressive, bloody, vicious, division, and internal strife, which are more prominent than the demons known for their evil.
You have to admit that the demons are working very hard to fight against heaven. They are just tempting others to fall. The blood clan is truly practicing it.
On the other hand, they have the only authority - the Presbyterian Church. All of their bloodlines originated from the great elder Barsaromu, the elder who was always immersed in the darkness...
...
Although the blood clan is extremely obscured by external news, even to the point of deafing, this time the matter is different.
The speed of the news spread far exceeded everyone's imagination. In just a few hours, it even reached the distance, Jones's biological father, Heyman Dracula.
"I can't believe we have pursued him," said Count Messiier to Count Dracula. "A friend of mine told me that your son challenged the Senate at the hearing and even issued an ultimatum of war. He saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears."
Count Dracula couldn't believe his ears: "Has he really done this?"
"My friend wouldn't lie to me. We thought it would be great if your son could become the adopted son of the Lich King. However, he created the Serpent City. We thought that was enough, but he became another Lich King. He even had the strength to challenge the Senate Council, and the Senate Council had to consider it. For him, we were too small and insignificant. And you even thought about stopping him... Hahaha, don't you think it's ridiculous? Duke Clermont is right, your son is not simple. Only a few years have passed? People like him are the masters of this world. Compared with his life, our time is simply wasted."
Hearing this, Count Dracula looked confused.
...
The clouds in the high court rolled as before, covering the city of eternal night. Lightning kept jumping back and forth in the sky.
Although everything seems to be almost unchanged, everyone knows that a huge storm is brewing. The difference is just toward war or change.
Everyone was whispering, but everyone was powerless.
Jones stood on the balcony and looked quietly at the foot of the mountain. His height was only one head taller than the fence of the balcony.
The weak-looking child has an extremely firm look.
At this moment, he is the center of the entire storm.
Adal stood beside him with wine, accompanying him.
"Do we need to leave here first?" Adair whispered: "If the result may be war. I have no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the Giant Snake City, but we are in the High Court after all. Your army is not here."
Jones took out a nine-petal snake flower badge from the Giant Snake City from his pocket, let Adal take a look, and then took it back.
“What is this?”
"Localizer." Jones said softly: "This is specially made to locate my position. Once there is a problem, the door of space will open within one minute. Now there are twenty lichs in Giant Snake City cast spells day and night, and keep the magic circle running at all times. Erin and the others only need to help me get one minute of time."
"So...you were ready for war from the beginning, right?"
"I can't say that, I just learned the lesson of my father's attack. Justice will not be defeated twice in the same way."
Belle, who was standing behind him, was stunned.
Adair could only smile helplessly: "Really, I think you... are much better than me."
Turning his face, Jones smiled faintly and said, "Actually, there is not much difference between people. The only difference is the environment. It is normal for you to grow up in comfort and not have enough sense of crisis. I have participated in many wars, and wars have taught me a lot of things. When thinking about things, the angle will inevitably be different."
"Master Jones." Dora suddenly changed into military uniform and came to the balcony, and saluted respectfully: "The Giant Snake City has been notified to block the border and enter a state of combat readiness. The 11th and 12th Legion have been unfolding in the Giant Snake City in a half-moon shape. The magic monitoring array of the whole city has been opened according to your wishes. The Third, Sixth and Seventh Legion are ready for teleportation. The First, the Ninth Legion has received the order and is detouring and will soon enter the predetermined combat readiness location."
"knew."
Dora left and went to do other preparations.
But Belle couldn't relieve herself from the shock.
This is probably the difference between aristocrats and knights. Most nobles only talk big, they are used to slowly evolve in conspiracies. Knights are really ready to sacrifice at any time and draw their swords at any time.
The blood clans in the High Court were all nobles, Jones, and knights.
They are both blood clans, but these are actually two completely different species. Aristocrats can make peace as long as they have enough interests. When peace-loving knights tear each other apart, it will be an endless war.
