Chapter 376 Laxana Will Be a Good Chess Piece

Eldred took a closer look and saw that seven people had gathered in the small room.

They sat in the center of the room on a round table shaped like a shield, leaving only one empty seat.

Among the people present, there are three familiar faces - members of the Strong Shield Council!

The woman who said with a cold voice just now that he was late was naturally Camilla, the legitimate daughter of the Carte family who was in charge of foreign diplomacy.

In addition to her, the other two MPs are Clement Omar, who manages land resources, and Newman Zachary, who manages state law.

The other four families are the backbone families of Demacia. Their strength is relatively poor and far inferior to those of the Strong Shield Council families.

"It seems that everyone is on time." Eldred smiled and pulled up a chair and sat down. "I'm sorry, my dear wife had something to do with me tonight, so I was delayed for a while."

However, everyone obviously knew that Tiana and Eldred did not have a good relationship and were just victims of a political marriage, so they did not take his words seriously.

"Hmph, do you want to get yourself killed? How dare you say that in front of His Majesty?"

Newman's voice was cold and straight to the point, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

He also hated Eldred's hypocritical character.

"If that stupid old man Harlan hadn't rescued you in time, based on your actions today, it won't be long before the king will ban you from your position." Clement added.

"Even if you want to deal with Viscount Mukenen as soon as possible, you shouldn't use this method." Camilla said very displeased, "He is likely to expose our secrets."

Eldred crossed his fingers and placed them on the table, raising the corners of his mouth slightly, "Don't worry about this problem, my brothers and sisters.

"Your Majesty still trusts me and the Demon Searchers Association after all. He is still confused and doesn't know how to deal with the mage's affairs. We still have time."

He first answered the questions of Newman and Clement, and then looked at Camilla, "As for Viscount Mulken? His problem is easier to handle. He will commit suicide in fear of crime tonight." I can’t tell.”

"How dare you kill people in Tianlao?" The head of a family asked in shock.

"What you are saying...who committed the murder?" Eldred looked unconcerned. "I have already said it. It was obvious that he was afraid of being interrogated and committed suicide out of fear of guilt."

Camilla narrowed her eyes and stared directly at the white-haired middle-aged man opposite her, "You should know how much impact Mu Keen's affairs will have on us if we don't handle things well."

"When have I ever let you down?"

Eldred looked around, taking in the expressions of everyone present.

Then, the smile on his face disappeared and turned into a cold and gloomy look, "Isn't the reason why I behaved so radically today for our common interests?"

"What you said is a bit funny." Newman sneered, "If you mean not following the plan and putting all of us in danger for our common interests..."

Before he could finish his words, Eldred spoke louder than his words: "If I learn about His Majesty's attitude towards magic and his next plans in this way, it cannot be called for our mutual benefit." What do you mean by profit?"

"What do you mean?" The head of another noble family asked with a frown.

Eldred squinted at him indifferently, then leaned back in his chair, "Literally."

"We all know His Majesty's attitude towards magic. He wants magic to return to Demacia, which can be seen from that...Morgana."

Clement interjected, "Furthermore, I think His Majesty wants to win over Li Lin, who saved the prince, has a good relationship with him, and even Bouvier speaks highly of him.

"Tonight, the little girl next to him used magic in public, and His Majesty was not angry or even took it seriously. I don't think this is a good sign."

"That's what I'm trying to say."

Eldred patted the table and cast an approving look at Clement.

"We know that His Majesty wants to reform the Magic Code, but he has never been determined!"

"Do you think that today one of the Winged Protector Sisters has returned, the prince has brought back a woman with dragon blood, and his friend Li Lin has brought a Twilight Star Spirit, just to overthrow Demacia and have established hundreds of Year system?" Camilla asked.

"Isn't it?"

Eldred sat up straight and looked into Camilla's cold eyes for a long time.

However, Camilla, who had only taken over her father's position for a few years, was naturally no match for the veteran Eldred.

After a while, she shifted her gaze and was defeated. Even her original toughness softened a bit, "From your tone, you seem to have a way to deal with it?"

Eldred lowered his face and pondered for a moment, rubbing his bare and beardless chin with his hand.

"As I said just now, His Majesty is not completely determined to revise the magic book yet... But that will not be the case if the news of the return of the winged protector Morgana is announced to the world."

"You want to start with Morgana? Are you crazy?!"

The third noble family head exclaimed, "That is the legendary protector who inherited the power of the gods. I think except for her so-called sister, no one in Demacia can compete with her, right?"

Impatience flashed in Eldred's eyes.

If they didn't need manpower now, how could they possibly cooperate with these four small and unsophisticated families?

"I mean, if we want to keep the magic book from being abolished and the magic seekers association from being disbanded, it's very simple. As long as Demacians realize the dangers of magic, won't it be enough?"

A sneer without any emotion appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I happen to have a chess piece here. He has been imprisoned in a dark dungeon for eight years, and his hatred for Demacia has already been accumulated in his heart."

"Could it be possible that..." Newman's eyes widened, "That guy is our last weapon. If we involve him now, all our plans will be disrupted!"

Eldred stood up abruptly, and the chair scraped against the floor, making a harsh "sizzling" sound.

Immediately afterwards, he slapped the table hard, immediately calming other people who still had doubts.

"Now that things have happened, do you have a better plan?" Eldred looked around at everyone, "Or, do you have a better plan?"

Everyone remained silent.

"It seems you all realize the seriousness of the problem."

A trace of contempt flashed across his eyes.

“We all know the abilities of that mage, otherwise he wouldn’t be part of our plan.

“Although his crime is only enough to imprison him for life, as long as we find a suitable opportunity to sentence him to death, it will be enough to arouse his resistance.

"At this time, just give him a little more light of hope..."

Eldred opened his arms, and his hands that were clenched into fists suddenly unfolded.

"Boom - the entire capital will explode, and the mages in the dungeon will attack the Fearless Vanguard under his leadership. Even if they are defeated by this elite battle group, our goal has been achieved. "

"But how are we going to arrange his affairs?" Camilla was still uneasy about this plan. "The dungeon where the mage is imprisoned is not accessible to ordinary people. We can't arrange it as a coincidence..."

"Who says there's nothing we can do?"

Eldred glanced back at her, then turned his head again and whispered coldly in his heart: "My niece Laxana... will be a good chess piece."
