Chapter 317 Great Cleaning

The winter of the year seems to be colder than usual.

The snow covers the entire Lily Flower City, and even fewer people traveling on the streets.

However, Chris' heart was colder than this cold winter.

He was sure that the Council had already grasped some clues. Over the past few days, although the Council was polite to him, he showed no mercy in private. Some of the items he smuggled and sold were found, and branches were closed. The superior nobles who had originally had a good relationship with him were hesitantly standing by and watching. There were no fools among them. The Council did this clearly because the Detroit family had something wrong. Although other superior nobles had done things like smuggling and slave trading, most of the Council were aware of it. In normal times, most people would turn a blind eye. After all, people would want to resist the constraints of the rules. Especially the nobles with power, as long as they still remember their responsibilities, they would not ask if they occasionally did something extraordinary.

However, this time, things are obviously wrong. Although the Council of Comments is under the name of "anti-smuggling", anyone with discerning eyes knows that if they really crack down on smuggling, then I am afraid that the nobles from all over the imperial capital, including loyal supporters like the Holkins, will be hit. However, now the Council of Comments is obviously heading towards Detroit, so I might as well make a fortune in silence and stay by my side to see what the Detroit family has done, so as to leave a way out for myself.

"Sir, Father."

Chris looked up and stared at his eldest son.

"How about it?"

"Sir Ross stayed behind closed doors... Humph!"

"Stop talking."

Chris sighed helplessly and said that it was his son but he was extremely angry.

"Master Father, do you continue to endure this way?! Those superior nobles, one by one, usually make friends with us. What about now? They are all hiding at home as turtles? How long will you have to endure?! My brother disappeared in Azus City. You didn't even ask. Could it be.................................."

"Shut up."

Chris swept his son coldly, and his heart was also low.

He had been struggling with the capital for decades. Although he knew that the Council had supreme authority, based on Chris' experience, as long as he had a better relationship with most nobles, he should have been worried about the influence and would not have acted so simply on himself. But he did not expect that the Council ordered the superiors and nobles who had originally had a good relationship with him and even respected began to pretend to be deaf and dumb? What was going on?!

But now Chris can no longer stand it.

The Council began to swallow its own property step by step: even if he doesn't move, he will still touch the most central secret in the end. If he moves, he will immediately touch the most central secret. This is just a matter of time. But the initiative must be firmly grasped in his own hands. Thinking of this, Chris stood up, his face was serious, his eyes were red, and he gave an order that he had never made up his mind to give.

Not only Chris can't figure it out, but Holkin Jr.

"Of course you don't understand."

Old Holkin lay on the bed and stared out the window with a serious look.

"Do you know, how many years have the rule of the Council been by Leah? It has been hundreds of years. And do you know? The members of the Council have never been replaced since the day they were established. It can be said that each singing commander is not a person who is easy to deal with. They know how to control people's experiences and how to make the nobles obey and obey. Of course, in these hundreds of years, it is not that there have been superior nobles who have tried to resist the rule of the Council and try to restore the imperial rule. For example, our old friend Brad. However, they are all dead, and the Five Ray Towers are still standing there without any change."

Speaking of this, Old Holkin's face became more and more serious.

"For us nobles, time is our enemy. But it is their friend."

"But, my father..."

Little Holkin still couldn't help but ask.

"Then Lord Yiming and Lord Meialie and the others..."

"They will not control the power of the Council. Lord Yi Ming is a wise man. He knows why the Council recruits himself. Moreover, in my opinion, this Lord is not enthusiastic about political struggles and is not interested in it. I am afraid that the Lord of Heaven will have the same feeling, so he recruits them into the Council. Otherwise, a young, ambitious and powerful man will easily bring turmoil to the empire. As for Lord Mealee... that lady is smarter than you and I imagine, so you don't have to worry about it. Moreover, you can't find them now."

“That’s true.”

Hearing this, little Holkin smiled helplessly.

It seems that Yiming and Meallie have indeed inherited the tradition of running the Council that even people cannot find a figure. During this period, Little Holkin took advantage of the opportunity to develop a business and went to Azus City several times. But those who received him were Marian. As for Yiming and Meallie? Sorry, the two adults are uncertain, and we don’t know where they went... And even if we ask the Ice Fish, who is closest to them, we will only get the same answer: Dad and Mom? I don’t know, but they will definitely come back.

Even if I asked Stefall, there was no news about the female lord from the south. No one knew where Yiming and Meallie had gone.

And at this moment, a sudden, a sudden knock on the door sounded, and then a servant walked in quickly.

"Report to the Lord, just now, the Detroit family leader has left Lily Flower City."

Hearing this sentence, Old Holgin's expression changed slightly, and then he returned to its original state.

“…………The Detroit family is finished…”

Old Holkin lowered his head and sighed, then picked up the wine glass beside the bed.

At this moment, the Lord of Heaven received the same news on the top of the Five Ray Tower.

"I knew that the old ghost would definitely not be able to hold it back."

Lord He Yan sat on the sofa next to him, and he still spoke without any hesitation.

"After all, he is still young, and he is still a little tender if he wants to compete with us for endurance.

"Pay attention to your words, Lord He Yan."

The Lord of the Dark is still as cold as ice as before. Perhaps because of the arrival of winter, she gives people a more cold feeling.

"The Detroit family will not be so easy to deal with, and they have been very close to the royal family recently."

"How is Belukolin?"

The Lord of Heaven suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the current situation, which surprised the remaining two singing songs present.

"If Aini is, she has already gone to Azus to sleep. Unexpectedly, those two children are really amazing. They actually rescued Aini under the surrounding of Magic Flowers..."

The tone of Lord He Yan was filled with surprise and gratitude. For them, Magic Flower could be regarded as the most terrifying enemy.

"When it comes to this, I always feel a little strange."

The dark Lord opened his eyes.

"You should have already felt that there was no magical spirit around those two children. It seemed that the magical spirit refused to approach them..."

“What about it?”

"And the problem is, we don't know until now what talent they have is."

Facing the questions of Lord He Yan, the Lord frowned slightly.

"So what?"

Lord He Yan put down his hand that was polishing the sharp corners of his forehead, and his expression was a little dissatisfied.

"Talented warriors are like this. Do you have to let them tell each other what their abilities are when they meet? Isn't this asking for death? They are not our magicians change as they change. I have said it many times, and you should make sense. If this continues, even if those of us who know your bad temper don't say anything, others will inevitably have no objection. Those two children are still very young and they are quite capable. What's wrong with this? You should just clean yourself up and don't always worry about these boring things."

"I'm not worried about this...it's just that something happened in the palace."

The dark Lord walked to the window and stared at the palace in the distance with heavy eyes.

"I think we have to make a choice."

"It's about that princess."

Lord He Yan obviously understood the idea of ​​Lord Dark.

"I know that you acquiesced that child is following Yi Ming, and you have your own little plan, but don't forget that our relationship with the royal family is......"

"What's wrong? Every time I come here, you look like the end of the world. Is there really such a world-class crisis?"

At this moment, the sound from the door interrupted the words of Lord He Yan. The three singing men turned their heads and looked, and then stood up at the same time.

"Sir Yiming, Lord Meialie, are you back?"

"Hey, little kids, you're finally back... Come on, I did a good job this time, let my sister hug you."

Lord He Yan smiled and went forward, then opened his arms when facing Yi Ming. But soon Mei Yali blocked her and coughed gently to express her dissatisfaction.

"That's it...then let it go."

Although Lord He Yan gave up his actions, the proud smile on her face did not diminish at all.

"I just didn't expect that if you haven't seen each other these days, you couple are even more loving... Aren't you going to carry out a mission? Are you going to have a honeymoon?"

"What's wrong with this?"

If Yiming would be at a disadvantage in such a verbal dispute, then he would not be Yiming. What's more, after completely "eating" Mei Yali, Yiming was also in a good mood.

"Anyway, you have to combine work and rest to do better, right?"

"This little devil is becoming more and more nonsense, so he won't talk too much to you."

Seeing that the effect he had not achieved as expected, Lord He Yan made way and sat back on his seat bored. Lord Cang Tian stood up, walked to Yiming and Meiyali, and bowed to them.

"Thank you both for your help."

"You are welcome."

Yi Ming shook his head.

"What should be done, are you going to attack Detroit?"

"That's right."

The Lord of Heaven showed a hint of admiration. In fact, although she gave orders to Meyali, she did not explain. Now, looking at the appearance of Yiming and Meyali, they had obviously guessed their thoughts long ago.

"We just got the news that the patriarch of the Detroit family has left Lily Flower City. Although we don't know where their destination is, I think it's probably..."

"Azus."

Yi Ming took the words of the Lord of Heaven, and his face looked a little weird.

"I really can't figure out why these people are staring at my land? Is it easy to bully just because we only have one city there..."

"The Lord of Green and Lord of Darkness will help you defend the city. During your absence, the Council has ordered an Imperial General to bring 50,000 magic warriors to the Forest of Life to be responsible for the construction of a new defensive fortress." When he said this, the Lord of Heaven's voice became more like he wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, which made Yi Ming a little strange. "That Imperial General is not only capable and loyal. You don't have to worry about both. I heard that you have met him before."

“We’ve seen it?”

Yi Ming looked at Meali curiously. In their memory, there were so many magicians they had seen, but the Imperial General... However, looking at the appearance of the Lord of Heaven and the other two, it seemed that everything was indifferent. Although I was really curious, since they refused to say it, Yi Ming was too lazy to ask more questions.

"So, we should go back. I don't know what the madmen in Detroit are thinking... But just now, you said something happened to the palace? What happened?"

Faced with Yi Ming's curious inquiry, the Lord of Cangtian and Lord of He Yan said nothing, but turned their eyes to the cold and cold Lord of the Dark. Seeing their appearance, the Lord of the Dark could only stand up helplessly and spoke with a slightly helpless expression.
