Chapter 477： exacerbated

Chapter 477 Intensified

after an hour.

At about 2:40 in the afternoon, a steward was sent by the palace to inform Chen Lun to go to the Sun Palace to attend an emergency meeting.

Chen Lun nodded in agreement, and after briefly notifying Floyd, he got into the other party's carriage alone and left the church area.

On the way, he secretly guessed that this meeting was likely to be the result of the strong attack of the Moon Church and the Stars Sect. But in any case, this will not be a bad thing. After all, the greater the pressure on the royal family, the greater the probability of Noah's survival.

I closed my eyes and meditated all the way until the carriage stopped under the marble steps.

Chen Lun silently got out of the carriage with a silver cane, followed the steward up the steps, and went straight to the meeting room of the palace.

Before he entered the gate, he sensed that there were more than a dozen or twenty high-ranking people with strong aura gathered inside, and [spiritual intuition] was jumping around, but because the weight difference between the two sides was too large, it was difficult to judge good or bad, and finally came the omen It's just a fog.

If this was the usual situation, Chen Lun would have avoided it as far as he could, but now he just took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

creak...

Many eyes followed and gathered on him. Chen Lun remained calm on the surface. He first saluted the prince sitting on the throne, and then silently walked to the seat belonging to the generous council and sat down.

While taking off his black top hat, he took advantage of this gap and calmly swept his eyes across the crowd present.

The top officials of the Imperial Jury and the Church of the Seven Gods have all been seated, and the area of ​​the Moon Church has a particularly large number of people.

The head servant of the monastery, Thelma, was wearing a black tulle robe and a short dark purple felt cloak over his shoulders. He held the moon-shaped silver jewelry on his chest with both hands, and closed his eyes without saying a word. Beside him, there were seven sisters of the Luna Monastery sitting in a row. They all wore nuns' hats, their white faces were expressionless, and their eyelids were kept lowered.

At first glance, it looks like a row of holy nun statues.

On the other side, there are also quite a few members of the Star Sect. In addition to Papa, the head priest of Wangcheng, there are five more freshmen. Judging from their costumes, they should all be at the same level as Papa. And the appearance of these star priests all looked very young, with exquisite and beautiful features. It was hard to imagine that such a group of young and beautiful ladies could be the top leaders of the church.

What surprised Chen Lun was that the Silver Dragon Witch, Her Majesty Blaze, was also sitting in this area. I don't know how close she is to the Stars Sect.

There was not much communication in the conference room, and everyone present remained silent. After waiting for a while, the participants arrived, and the prince spoke:

"An emergency meeting was held temporarily today, mainly to discuss the handling plan for the 'Cross Society of the Scorching Sun'... In the past few days, after being chased by the Imperial Jury and the Church of the Sun, many members of the Cross Society lurking in Tourmaline Kloster have been captured. But there are still some high-level people who have fled... This time I will not let them live, and I will definitely eradicate them completely."

"Your Highness, rest assured, the History and Ceremony Association will fully assist the royal family and hunt down the high-level officials of the Cross Society of the Sun."

Eberhard played with the signature pen in hand, and said with a chuckle.

Immediately, Camacho also echoed, saying that the Hailing Regiment would send two high priests to lead several "returning teams" of their own elite transcendents to round up the Scorching Sun Cross Society.

The two families spoke one after another, and sided with the prince.

Although the several presiding judges and the archbishops of the Sun who were present did not speak, they were obviously die-hard supporters of the royal family.

At this time, only the Church of the Moon, the Sect of the Stars, the School of the Madman, and the Generous Council represented by Chen Lun did not express their views.

The silver-haired Priest Papa saw that the scene had cooled down, so he spoke slowly:

"Your Highness, the Stars Sect will also..."

"Papa McKenning."

However, the silver dragon witch Blaze, who had been silent all this time, called out Papa's name at this moment, interrupting his words.

Papa raised his slender brows, and raised his bright red lips slightly. He turned to look at Blaise, and asked in a pleasant voice:

"Huh? Blaze, what are you trying to say?"

"These years in the royal city seem to have made you forget your mission and get lost in power and self-interest... The Hilber royal family and the pope of the stars have given you more than one chance, but you are still stubborn."

The hazy starlight phantom on Blaize's face slowly dissipated, revealing a delicate face, two thick dark gray eyebrows slightly frowned, and heroic eyes full of indifference.

Papa was startled for a moment, then narrowed her beautiful eyes, pursed her lips and said:

"Blize, after all, you are not a member of the Stars Sect. You have no right to criticize me, let alone interfere with my decision-making... I am the priest of the Stars Sect Wangcheng, and I am the master of everything. I order you to shut up immediately."

"I'm not qualified, someone else is."

Blaze hit back lightly.

He raised his hand, revealing a mass of liquid metal floating in his palm. This mass of matter is constantly "squirming" and spreading, shrinking and rotating, exuding indescribable colors... like pink, like deep red, and it seems to be like the blue and green of the starry sky between the gazes, changing countless times in an instant, dazzling.

Almost all the high-ranking people present changed their colors, showing horror.

Papa's original expression of pretending to be calm was instantly defeated, and panic poured out of his face, turning into an unbelievable stiffness.

His eyes reflected the strange color of the liquid metal, and his body seemed to be disturbed and affected by some kind of interference. His white and smooth skin dried up, and even squirmed pustules, which seemed to be a sign of loss of control.

"Angel [Star Color]... Your Majesty Priscilla..."

Papa opened his mouth wide, and his intermittent voice was full of fear, and it was like the mottled sound quality played from a tape recorder.

"Your body is hidden in the astral world, do you think no one will find it? The Pope has sent someone to arrest you. Now, you should leave."

Blaise said indifferently.

Poof! Puff puff puff!

Papa's head exploded like a flower bud, and the pustules wriggling on his body also burst, but what spewed out was not blood, but strange colorful lights. In an instant, he became invisible, leaving only A warm robe of the priest of the stars fell loosely on the chairs.

From the beginning to the end, the other five chief priests of the Stars Sect remained indifferent, as if they didn't see the incarnation of Papa die out of control.

Immediately afterwards, the liquid metal floating in Blaize's palm seemed to be alive, and jumped onto Papa's clothes. The strange colorful light appeared again, and even propped up the silver robe like a substance...

"Papa" reappeared in front of everyone, with exactly the same appearance, no difference, except for those eyes that were filled with death-like silence.

He turned his head, looked at Prince Dazlet on the throne, and said:

"Little prince, the Stars Sect can help the royal family and hunt down the remnants of the Sun Cross... The premise is to release Noah Silver Dragon."

Prince Dazlet stared at "Papa" in front of him with a solemn expression. He knew very well that this was no longer the same person, but just a puppet with the same face and appearance.

He tentatively uttered:

"Your Majesty Priscilla of the City of Shining Rites?"

"Papa" didn't answer, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were as dead as ever. Seeing this, Dazlet took a deep breath, thought for a few seconds, but shook his head and said:

"Sorry, Noah Yinlong is seriously suspected, I will not let him go."

"Papa" nodded.

"In this case, I will personally negotiate with Andre."

After speaking, He stopped speaking.

The prince took a deep look at this puppet. Of course he believed that the other party was capable and qualified to directly approach his father, but he was not afraid.

In the final analysis, I am the victim. It doesn't matter whether Noah Silver Dragon lets go, what matters is how much profit the royal family can get back from this incident.

"Your Highness, on behalf of the Church of the Moon, I hope you can release Sister Olmedo from your control."

At this time, Thelma, the head servant of the monastery, also opened her eyes and said softly.

The prince seemed to have expected it, but he still shook his head.

"Sister, it's not that I don't want to let people go, but that Sister Olmedo united with Saintess Lutina of the Natural Sect, openly humiliated me at the birthday dinner, and blasphemed the royal family and the martyr... See how the Church of the Moon has treated the empire for thousands of years. He may not die, but he must spend a hundred years in the dungeon of the sun before he can atone for his sins."

"well…"

Thelma sighed and closed her eyes again.

In the seat of the Madman School next to it, Hernandez, the person in charge of Wangcheng, a thin old man with thin gray hair and thick glasses, said in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, the Church of the Seven Gods has obeyed the oath and has been assisting the royal family to suppress the empire since more than 4,000 years ago. Why don't you let go and release Noah Silver Dragon and Olmedo... His Majesty the Sun King opened a new era and shed countless brilliance , as the crown prince, you should have that ray-like infinite mind...the relationship between the church and the royal family should not be so rigid."

Dazlet glanced at him, and asked lightly:

"Master Hernandez, you mean I'm narrow-minded?"

"Of course not, Your Highness."

The old man bowed his head slightly.

"The assassination incidents were all caused by the Scorching Sun Cross Society, but these two people have no substantive connection with it..."

"It seems that the Madman School you represent chose to stand on the side of the Church of the Moon and the Sect of the Stars, and is not satisfied with my decision."

Prince said calmly.

"But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

He then looked towards the seat area of ​​the Generous Parliament, where only a young black-haired gentleman sat alone. Just as Chen Lun took a deep breath and was about to explain his position, the prince smiled and raised his hand to stop it.

"Jack, I've received your generosity in Parliament, and I'm very pleased with your support."

"Your Highness?"

Chen Lun frowned slightly, not knowing what the prince meant for a moment.

However, the door of the meeting room opened again, and a man wearing retro knight armor and a gray robe with gold patterns strode in. Behind him, there are several Jinbei councilors in suits and leather shoes.

"Jack Speight, I'm sorry to inform you here that your position as the person in charge of the Wangcheng branch has been removed, and now I will replace you... This is about your dismissal order and transfer order, come here and hand over."

The middle-aged man with a goatee said to Chen Lun.

Chen Lun frowned. He didn't expect Houston to intervene at this time. Judging from the other party's words and the prince's attitude, the two may have been in contact for a long time, and reached some kind of agreement directly bypassing themselves.

"Houston Consul, I haven't received any news at all before, and I have reason to suspect that you just came here to seize power in the name of the parliament... In addition, my position as the person in charge was appointed by the speaker himself, without his permission, this transfer order Not valid."

Chen Lun did not go over to receive the other party's documents, but said coldly.

"I am sorry to tell you, Jack, that it is clearly stated in the statutes of the "Code of Generosity" that in the event of an unexpected absence of the Speaker, the Senate has the right to hold a collective meeting in the Great Chamber on the basis of important events...and you have not notified , The position of participating in this matter without authorization is detrimental to the interests of the parliament. Regarding your dismissal, it is the result of the vote, so don't speculate and frame me."

Houston shrugged with an indifferent attitude.

Chen Lun didn't speak, his heart sank.

He knew that the other party had come prepared, and took advantage of the chance that the speaker and the four consuls including Ginsburg were out, deliberately came to seize power. Here, four of the five are from Houston's side, and it's hard to detect a little trick.

But the problem is that if the speaker comes back to carry out the liquidation, I am afraid that the matter is already a foregone conclusion. At most, Houston and others will be punished and Chen Lun will be compensated.

The Generous Council belongs to the new generation of the Church of the Seven Gods. It has many internal problems and is not harmonious... It is okay when the speaker is there. Once he is absent, the two consuls of the Senate will always have conflicts.

It is impossible for Speaker Azgielo to be unaware of this, but this time the Rotov family was wiped out, but Ginsberg and the others were still taken away. There must be some special reasons and coincidences.

But the chain reaction brought about by these was like a terrifying shadow, once again shrouded Chen Lun's body.

Seeing that Chen Lun was silent and unable to get up, Houston simply brought his subordinates to his side, sat down on the seat next to him, and placed the two documents on the table.

"I will lead the Generous Council next."

He said something lightly.

Chen Lun took a deep look at Houston, and did not choose to turn his face at this time. After all, the other party is a high-ranking person, so it is impossible to just send an avatar when he comes to Wangcheng this time to meddle... If he conflicts with the other party rashly, he will only suffer.

Suppressing the killing intent in his heart, he nodded expressionlessly.

At this time, the situation in the conference hall seemed clear.

In the Church of the Seven Gods, four parties chose to side with the prince, and with the support of the imperial jury, Dazlet had a smile on his face that he was sure of winning.

And just when he was about to announce the end of the meeting, everyone present felt a slight tremor under their feet, and then there was a faint rumbling sound in the distance.

Many people frowned and looked outside.

Immediately afterwards, Chief Steward Babaye quickly walked in through the gate, went straight behind the prince, bent down and said in a low voice:

"Outside the city of Tourmaline Kloster, a towering tree rose from the ground... Yuguang Shengwei inspected and found that there were two figures on the branches of the tree crown, one of which was Lutina Castillo, the saint of the natural sect, and the other For Pope Mrs. Moose!"

"Heh... very good!"

The veins on the prince's forehead popped up, and he praised fiercely.

"You have provoked the Trisur family again and again, do you really think that the royal family has nothing to do with them?!"

Almost all the high-ranking people present, even Chen Lun has a keen sense. Hearing Babaye's words, everyone can't help but have a thought:

The situation seems to be intensifying again...
