Chapter 629 Meeting of Nobles

Having lost all her companions, Ganatica is undoubtedly extremely anxious, without any food relief, those poor people who joined the mutual aid association are still hungry, although the gold coins Pandora got from Punk have not been spent yet, But... no matter how much money they have, the nobles will not sell the few grains they have.

Therefore, the situation of the Mutual Aid Association is in dire straits, but in fact, the nobles of the Scott Empire are also very anxious at this time, and even the mood of several big nobles can no longer be described as anxious-they are about to go crazy up.

The reason why the nobles are anxious is definitely not the fact that a large number of poor people are about to starve to death. There is only one thing they are anxious or even afraid of, and that is... a piece of gray crystal is missing!

In Scott's palace, there were five gorgeously dressed nobles sitting together, while the nominal "emperor" of the country was sitting on his throne in a daze. Quietly, the colorful paintings in the gorgeous hall seem to have become dumb because of this silence...

"What's the matter... tell me quickly! We... what should we do?"

The first one to make a sound was of course the emperor sitting on the throne, but at this time, "His Majesty the Emperor" had already lost his usual majesty and calmness, and his voice was trembling uncontrollably , the fear contained in it echoed endlessly in the empty hall.

It's a pity that the silence was not broken by the emperor's speech. The five nobles present still kept their heads down and said nothing. Among these nobles, there were also formal-level professionals who had lived for hundreds of years. , they still don't know what to answer.

Seeing this scene, the godless emperor involuntarily slumped on the throne, only murmuring to himself like broken thoughts, and fear made the voice of the nominally supreme ruler of the Scott Empire hoarse:

"It's over... Hehe... It's all over!" Before leaving, "Melting Ripper" specially explained that there must be no mistakes in the gray crystals, but... But what should we do now? There are ten gray crystals in total, and one of them is lost. In a few years, the "Melting Ripper" will return, and then we will all be finished, and the wrath of the red dragon will burn us to ashes together"...

The emperor's words are full of despair, and the facts he told are indeed worthy of despair for anyone in the Scott Empire. Everyone knows that Almoda-Flame Claw is an unreasonable, tyrannical and cruel evil dragon. Usually this " The "Melting Flame Ripper" would slaughter cities for no reason for fun, now... the emperor and the nobles really can't imagine what kind of things the angry red dragon will do.

And in the face of an evil dragon, every nobleman deeply understands that the words and rhetoric they are usually proud of are all a bunch of jokes, how should they refute Amodar-Flame Claw? Said that he had tried his best to protect it, but the loss of the gray crystal was force majeure?

Or maybe he didn't have the ability to protect such a precious legendary creation, and asking to put the gray crystal in a densely populated noble manor is itself a difficult task?

It's a pity that the "Melting Fire Ripper" never knew what "reasonableness" is, and it was even more impossible to think about the excuses of a group of "ants". It would only use absolute power to crush everything that made it uncomfortable!

"I knew it, I knew it! Ever since the crazy dragon "Melting Flame Ripper" took out those few crystals, and then demanded that "it must be placed in a densely populated area", "no spellcaster or A master-level powerhouse is approaching", and finally said "Leaving Scott's Kingdom", "Can't receive any contact", "I can't come back until five years later"... It's a hell of an accident! There is obviously a big problem with those crystals , Now that there is a great famine, how could it not attract others to investigate?"

A younger nobleman finally couldn't bear such a fearful and oppressive atmosphere, he stood up abruptly and complained loudly about the source of everything, about what Elmodar Fireclaw had done.

Anyway, ever since "the gray crystal disappeared and Almodar still didn't show up", all the nobles present knew that the "five-year retreat" that the red dragon said was true. Keeping surveillance on this country anytime and anywhere, these nobles will be extremely rude to complain about Almoda.

Especially at this moment when the gray crystal is lost and Almoda is about to return, the nobles who are on the verge of collapse are about to curse with the mentality of breaking the pot!

But... no matter how terrible the truth is about to come, no one will want to die, especially these nobles who live in luxury. It's all over, it's over", but in fact, any nobles including the emperor never want to die, otherwise they wouldn't gather here to discuss.

After the complaints were over, the abuse was over, and the nobles had to express their grievances and fears when the "Melting Ripper" was away, the real discussion about "survival" finally began...

The first one to stand up to speak was an old nobleman with a resolute face. He did not complain like the young nobleman, but slowly glanced at everyone, and then said in a calm and steady tone:

"Dear friends, there is no doubt... the continuation of our respective families, and even the survival of the Scott Empire have reached a critical point, because just one day before the "Melting Ripper" left Be sure to protect and hide a piece of the gray crystal lost. We all know the cruelty and tyranny of the evil legendary red dragon. If nothing else... I think everyone sitting here can predict their own It's fate."

The old aristocrat told the truth in an unhurried voice. Of course, the sad truth is still sad no matter how it is said by anyone, but... when the old aristocrat said it, this sadness It even had a bit of a "tragic" flavor.

Sad things often make people confused, but "tragic" things can often calm people's hearts.

What the old noble needs now is obviously this "tragic" effect. After seeing that the other nobles present, including the slumped emperor, finally pulled out their thoughts from despair and fear and listened to him, the old man with cloudy eyes but a firm voice continued Speaking of the "countermeasures" I thought about.

"We are nobles with noble blood! We can't be in chaos like those foolish people. No matter what difficulties we face, what we should do now is not to feel sorry for ourselves, but..."
