Chapter 411 Judgment Day (IV)
“There are countless innocent souls waiting for you who have taken the first step.”
The girl stared at Buffy Marshall intently, she no longer suppressed her The murderous intent and hatred that had been dormant for a long time, the bright and dark look in his eyes were cold and frantic, and the increasingly sweet smile did not contain a trace of warmth: "They are urging me, so please...hehe, I'm sorry, I seem to have lost my composure. . "
Futaba did not finish her words. She just shook her head at everyone in embarrassment after stopping her conversation. Then she glanced at the onlooker beside her who was focusing on eating melons, and secretly got rid of him. The latter put his paw on his knee at some point and threatened Mo Tan in a friend message to report him for sexual harassment...
Then he lost his temper with an understatement of 'you're welcome'.
This is the trouble of smart people, because there are many people who cannot pretend to be stupid, otherwise they will become more like an idiot.
Whether that little 'touch' just now was some kind of reminder or just taking advantage, both of them knew very well.
So Futaba really couldn't say anything after the other party directly exposed it, otherwise he would inevitably be ridiculed by some nasty words.
So, let’s get down to business.
No one present was surprised at all by Futaba's choice. After all, this incident started because of a lie she told. It started with using the royal family to summon all the grand dukes to gather in Salamoon. , every step of this girl's life revolves around the central idea of 'killing the Marshall family'.
Thinking about it now, if the team that went to Mercury City hadn't been deceived, the trial that didn't start until today would have been advanced by at least half a month.
It is true that no matter how far in advance the time is, the necessary steps like voting still have to be done, but without interference from someone, Futaba, who has completely taken the initiative, may not need Mo Tan’s help. Time has suffered a lot, but if she is allowed to completely take the rhythm into her own hands, the Marshall family may really be doomed, and it is very likely that they will face an even worse situation than now.
After all, today, Buffy Marshall has a chance to walk out of the Purple Nine Hall with his head held high.
“Observe.”
Scorpius Hussein gave Futaba a sinister look, and without hesitation touched the hazy white ball of light in front of him, and made It’s also a choice that doesn’t surprise anyone.
Although he and Buffy Marshall were not childhood sweethearts like Grand Duke Ximu Simon (Double Leaf Language), the relationship between Grand Duke Hussein and the latter has always been very good. After they both officially inherited the position of Grand Duke, the territory The two people who are neighbors and have similar interests quickly established a strong cooperative relationship with each other, especially in business and trade. You must know that the tax exemptions, business cooperation and other conditions that Buffy planned to use as bargaining chips to appease the Fire Claws have been going on between the Marshall family and the Hussein family for more than twenty years. The tacit understanding and interest relationship they have cultivated for a long time have allowed them to It is a well-known fact that they have become the perfect collaborators and allies for each other.
Some people are born with incompatibility. From the first sight of each other and the first words heard from each other, they can clearly feel that they are not the same person, such as Vernon Baroka and Mercury. Core Fernan, such as Anatarasha, has a unilateral view of Vernon Baroka and his father and grandfather.
However, there are still some people who are naturally compatible with each other. Even if their positions are different, even if their identities and status are very different, even if their most basic genders are different, they can still confirm each other. A strong sense of resonance arose after the first glance. Such as Jane Eyre and Rochester; such as Romeo and Juliet; such as Meng Jiangnu and the Great Wall; such as a certain Phantom Thieves leader and a female doctor, a female teacher, a female chess player, a female hacker, a female reporter, a female fortune teller, a female student council president, a female model, a woman Lolita and eldest lady(?).
There are also regular versions of like-minded characters, such as Buffy Marshall and Scorpius Hussein.
Although the bond may be inferior to other examples, Scorpius Hussein will never be able to watch the Marshall family doomed, even if they put aside their friendship and interests. , because Scorpius, who has long tied his family to the Marshalls, can betray each other today, then he may betray more people tomorrow, so at least until this matter is finalized, his position will never waver.
The white light spread, and at the same time, a deep scratch was cut across the table. The angle was just right to firmly block the sword-shaped ravine that had appeared just a moment ago.
One to one!
“Observe?”
Grand Duke Emmeline of the Crystal Wolf looked diagonally across from Grand Duke Hussein, who was the same generation as her father, and snorted: “Why don’t you go and observe those corrupt people? The innocent slaves, look at their misery and listen to their cries?”
Scorpius had a gloomy face and said nothing.
Emmeline didn't look at the former's reaction. She just stretched out her hand angrily towards the black light ball in front of her and said in a deep voice without hesitation: "Sanctions."
She knew that she was a bad person. A mature grand duke, the unprepared noble lady was caught off guard by her father's premature death and became the grand duke of the Crystal Wolf. Although this young lady who had just lost her youth had already Although she tried her best to carry it, she still almost got overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility countless times in the first few years. If it weren't for the old housekeeper Deku, many people would even risk being called 'hostile' to assist her with all their strength. , Emmeline may have been unable to hold on for a long time...
Today, she has gradually become a mature grand duke and lord, able to be independent More than 90% of the problems in the territory were solved, and because of the unique delicacy of women, Emmeline even did better than her talented father in some aspects. It was also in this process that she learned patience and Silent and learning to weigh the pros and cons, this lady who was passionate about martial arts finally put down her beloved long sword and chose the original sword in order to have a strong leader for her family. She has no interest in magic but is quite talented; this kind-hearted, naive but very righteous noble lady also learned to keep silent about certain things like a real high-ranking person, because although it is not moral, But it was in the interests of everyone; everyone was happy because the new Grand Duke of the Crystal Wolf learned everything quickly, including the art of compromise.
So she has become accustomed to keeping her heart in check, compromising on the position she sits in, and compromising on herself who must become the Grand Duke of the Crystal Wolf, but...
Just like Emmeline, although She has chosen the path of magic, but still habitually wears her [Crystal Wolf Slash]. She also has her own persistence, not the persistence of [Grand Duke Crystal Wolf], but the persistence of [Emmeline].
One thing she didn't tell Futaba was that although Buffy Marshall's envoy did not visit her, she found someone to secretly slip a letter to the old butler Deku who was out shopping a few days ago. There was not a single unnecessary word in it. Just a set of conditions that are fascinating just to look at.
For a long time, the Crystal Wolf family, which has no good foundation, has been far inferior to the Marshall, Dantis, Simon and other families in terms of comprehensive strength. In terms of financial resources, it is also completely incomparable to the Hussein family. Therefore, If we had to rank the nine major families at the top of the Violet Pyramid, Crystal Wolf would definitely be in the bottom three.
But even so, the previous generations of Crystal Wolf family owners have always been very open-minded. Although they sometimes worry from various angles, at least they have never used any bad means to enhance their strength. In terms of taxation, He is also known for his conscience, and he lives his life with a peaceful attitude as long as it does not harm his vitality.
Until Emmeline’s father, the previous generation Crystal Wolf Grand Duke, passed away unexpectedly...
As I said before, although Emmeline is very hard-working, very sensible, very talented, and very mature Fast, but the Crystal Wolf Grand Duke currently sitting here is not a fat person who was eaten out in one bite. It also took her several years to be able to stand alone like she is now, and it was during those years that Crystal Wolf The inevitable loss of vitality of the Wolf family was not caused by any violent or tragic accident, but simply the [tuition] that a busy, young and naive new Grand Duke had to pay. Very high tuition fees...
However, if we can get everything promised in that letter, the Crystal Wolf family will not only be able to quickly recover, but can even become stronger than it has been in the past hundreds of years. In the words of the old butler Deku Said, this is simply an offer that the Crystal Wolf family cannot refuse.
And the other party also added at the end of the letter that as long as he can gain the friendship of the Crystal Wolf family, he will try his best to fulfill his promise no matter what the final result is.
Because this belongs to the [Trial Tradition] of the Violet Empire for thousands of years, the authenticity can be guaranteed.
If it were in the past, the Crystal Wolf Grand Duke, who has lost his youthfulness, would most likely agree to the other party's request. After all, she has now clearly realized what she is carrying, so no matter what her heart is, she will agree to the other party's request. If you feel uncomfortable, you will comfort yourself with the excuse that those who have suffered misfortune will not escape their suffering or rest in peace because the Marshall family is sanctioned.
However, Emmeline still hesitated after all...
She could not forget the heaviness that her rare friend showed unintentionally when he came to visit, and the overwhelming sadness under the heaviness.
So, even though Grand Duke Crystal Wolf had learned to compromise and thought he was numb enough, he still had insomnia that night.
The next day, Deku Butler, who usually gave clear answers or suggestions whenever he asked anything, was uncharacteristically silent. After a long time, he smiled and told Emmeline, "You have grown up." Big'.
Facing Emmeline, who had already passed her coming-of-age ceremony and looked confused, Deku could only gently point to the family emblem embroidered on his chest and look at her lovingly...
That night, Emmeline, who had been shut up all day, walked out of the study, her eyes no longer confused.
Yes, she has grown up. Although she still shoulders the responsibility of the entire family, she is now qualified to practice and implement her own will, instead of continuing to be a symbol of serving the right.
Because [correctness] does not allow others to recognize themselves, so...
"Sanctions."
After calmly speaking these two words, Emmeline looked up. He let out a long breath, and his eyes were sharper than ever before.
Since he is a wolf, it is time for others to see his fangs!
Buzz! !
On the table, a second ravine suddenly appeared, like a sharp wolf fang, piercing through the notch representing the position of the Hussein family.
Emmeline chuckled lightly and nodded to Buffy Marshall, who had a calm expression.
Like a wolf staring down the throat of its prey.
Although I refused the readily available benefits, I can bite your throat into pieces and tear off pieces of bloody 'meat' with my own strength and will!
Two to one!
Then it was leveled again by a trembling 'observation'.
I saw Archduke Fernando standing on a pile of cushions hesitantly reaching out his hand and gently 'touching' the white light in front of him. The next second, the strip on the table looked like The wolf-like ravine was silently cut off in the middle by a straight cut.
As Motan and Futaba expected, the wavering Archduke Fernando of Mercury Core finally chose to side with the Marshalls. After all, his territory was too close to the Marshalls, and in all aspects Both are more than inferior to the latter. In addition, Anthony Dabbs was ambushed before, and combined with this Mediterranean character, this choice is really not surprising.
After Archduke Fernand cast his 'vote', he sat back as if he was exhausted. His shiny forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He first glanced at Buffy Marshall with some flattering eyes, and then kept using his peripheral vision. Looking at Futaba and Emmeline, although the two girls had no intention of doing anything to him, and had no reason to do anything to him, Fernando Fernando was still trembling in his chair, looking scared. The look of being retaliated against.
The style of this friendless grand duke is very similar to that of the signature [Iron Gate Guards] in his territory. Although the latter is hardly aggressive, they are always the whole violet The most proficient warrior in the empire's defense, he has the same purpose as Archduke Fernando's tortoise-like style.
Looking at the frightened and cautious appearance of Mercury Core, many people couldn't help but wonder how far this guy wanted to disgrace the name of the [iron gate] that had been passed down by his family for hundreds of years.
However, Barroca, Dantès and others only thought about this matter for less than half a minute. The rather depressing silence was broken by Archduke Simon, who had not said a word from the beginning until now. .
I saw this dark elf with a serious face, meticulous clothing, hairstyle and beard, and an age ratio of about five years to an ordinary person. He took a deep look at Buffy Marshall and sighed silently...
"Sanctions."
