1651 Shocking News
Chapman, the current patriarch of the Enmere family to which Talister belongs, is the great elder of the Council of Elders, so the many secrets of the Council of Elders as well as the ongoing planning and preparations are quite clear.
It's just that Chapman, who has a kind appearance and has reached the level of morning light, is already old and frail at this time. He is obviously at the stage where his life span is approaching and his time is running out.
Talister's identity is a secret for the Enmere family. Only members of the family's patriarchal line know it. Therefore, after he was led to Chapman's drawing room, he was officially recognized. confirm.
The coalition operation currently taking place in the Land of Towers and its consequences, after being told by Talister, made Chapman very happy. He immediately sent someone to invite the current president of the Council of Elders. Shirkin comes.
Talister, who cared about everything about his family, made Chapman's expression become sad when he asked about the family's losses, and even Sarah, the astrologer who accompanied him, had her eyes red.
"Twenty-seven people joined the expedition to invade the Nightmare Plane, and there were nineteen people who were stranded in and outside the Tower before the Sith invasion. The number of people who died before the place was sealed exceeded the number that could be determined. Half, including six people in the direct line..."
"How come there are so many!"
"For thousands of years, all the young people born here have to conceal their identities in order to integrate into the outside world. Although they all have the pride and consciousness of being members of the Elder Society, when they can show themselves calmly in front of the world, After the temptation arrived, these young people became more and more difficult to suppress... What's more, after Belozovo of the Hamilton family took over the position of Grand Speaker, the bright future he painted also aroused the ambitions of young people. ,so……"
Chapman paused from time to time while speaking, and his voice became deeper and deeper. It was obvious that he could not accept and bear such heavy casualties, so he continued to speak after a long time. "The Supreme Council has been completely disintegrated. However, the usurper Belozovo did not expect that Lord Shirkin had the ability to peek into the mind. He actually wanted to avoid this place after the Sith invasion. His conspiracy was finally exposed. …”
"This is impossible! The patriarch will never be like this! You are shamelessly framed! You want to use this method to shirk the responsibility of fearing war. It is you who are afraid of facing the Sith tribe and are unwilling to assume the responsibility of the Council of Elders Responsibilities that should be shouldered!”
A sudden roar. It broke the dull atmosphere in the living room and shocked most people.
Raymond, who also turned around, saw Veranica with her fists clenched and an angry look on her face. However, the color of her eyes was slightly yellow at this time. It was obvious that she had forcibly taken over little Alice's eyes. Eucharist.
"Little girl, I know that you are a member of the Hamilton family, but Belozov is indeed guilty. All the accusations against him are based on evidence. The evidence of his collusion with the Sith tribe is also conclusive, and this matter is not involved. There are too many members of the Hamilton family. If you don’t believe it, you can go to the dungeon to meet Belozovo. He will no longer deny it..."
Chapman's tone was gentle but there was no hatred in his expression. Veronica was stunned when she was filled with anger. The anger in her pursed lips gradually disappeared, but she looked more and more stubborn.
Chapman, who no longer paid attention to her, continued chatting with Talister, but soon the young wizard who had been sent by Chapman to invite Sirkin, the president of the Council of Elders, came. He came in and reported that President Silkin already knew about the situation in the Tower Land, and asked Chapman to lead everyone to the Eternal Tower of the Elder Council.
There was some displeasure in his expression, but Chapman still apologized and led everyone towards the wizard tower in the center of the valley. On the way, Raymond noticed a broken wizard tower on the cliff on the north side of the valley, and asked about the situation there. Indicated that he wanted to go and have a look.
Chapman, who was about to go to the Tower of Eternity, felt a little strange. "It was originally an abandoned wizard's tower. It is now a temporary residence for refugees. Are you familiar with this wizard's tower?"
"Someone has mentioned this place before, so I am somewhat interested in the incomplete wizard tower..."
Raymond's answer made Chapman more suspicious, but he still asked the astrologer Sarah to accompany him, and he took Talister and the old dean Seurat into the Eternity Tower.
Sarah, the astrologer who accepted the mission, asked when she led Raymond and others to the wizard tower located on the cliff at the northern end of the valley. "Lord Raymond, you must be hiding something. If you tell me, maybe I can help you..."
Sara, the astrologer with a cunning look on his face, saw that the one-eyed sand man Saliman who was following him looked a little unnatural when he said this. On the contrary, I was a little confused.
But regarding the 'Light of Sand' hidden here by Silas, the Lord of the Desert, even Saliman, the one-eyed sand man himself, didn't know what it was, so Raymond didn't explain it, but followed the astrologer. Sarah went inside.
The wizard tower, which is only a dozen floors high, seems to have suffered a violent attack many years ago. The west side of the tower was hacked by some kind of sharp weapon, forming a huge gap that went deep into the ground.
Most of the refugees who came from the land of high towers were young and old. Some low-level wizards could be seen among them, but they were all frowning and depressed. They just saw the astrologers. After Sarah came over, everyone came forward to greet her. They seemed to be familiar with the astrologer Sarah.
When greeting these refugees, astrologer Sarah's tone became a little lower. "The people here are some small families living on the northeast side of the Tower Land. Most of the stronger members of their clans have died, and these people are almost unable to escape here because of the size of the place. The Problem Elders Association cannot provide more assistance, we can only hope that they can survive..."
Veronica, who was following Raymond, her expression became gloomy at this time, but the depression between her eyebrows became much stronger, and she became more and more uneasy when facing the refugees.
Raymond, who noticed his mood, also asked. "How many members of the Supreme Court's Hamilton family are in here?"
"Excluding those who went to the Nightmare Plane to join the expeditionary force, most of the remaining ones died while stationed at the Corona Tower. A small number left the Tower when the Sith invaded and disappeared. There are only a few remaining ones. Hundreds of people have been imprisoned in the Tower of Eternity. They will be screened again after Belozovo's trial is over. If they are indeed not involved in collusion with the Sith, they will be released..."
After hearing this, Veronica finally couldn't help but ask. "Who is left in the family?"
"I can't tell their names, but it seems that the only ones with the highest strength are Donald, who was seriously injured and unconscious, and several Dawn-level wizards who entered here with him..."
The dejected Veronica stopped talking, and the color of her eyes returned to clear and dark in a moment. It was obvious that Veronica had released control of her body, allowing little Alice to come out.
But it seemed that she also knew about Belozovo, and the depressed little Alice stopped talking.
Raymond, who had had a confrontation with Belozovo, did not know at this time what kind of evidence the Senate had about Belozovo's collusion with the Sith tribe, so he lost his previous idea of covering up this trip. After ordering the astrologer Sarah to lead everyone to the basement of the Wizard Tower, he asked her to stay outside and wait, and continued down with the one-eyed sandman Shaliman, following the instructions given by the Lord of the Desert Silas. prompt, the search began.
In the cold and cramped basement, there was only the dim light emitted by the relit candles on the walls, but Raymond, who knew that the light of sand was placed in the basement of the wizard tower, after releasing his perception, Nothing was found.
It's just that the one-eyed sandman Saliman, who looked a little dazed after entering here, started dancing in vain according to some weird steps... (To be continued ~^~)
