Chapter 412: Change of Leadership, Fiona Succeeds to the Throne
A week flies by.
During this period, Jarvan III's resolute political iron fist really surprised Li Lin.
Since the main criminal Eldred was captured, and a Noxian war mason was also brought with him, there was basically no suspense about the ensuing purge operation.
The Fearless Vanguard has captured all direct and collateral members of the three councilor families, Zachary, Cartel and Omar, including the remaining 4 henchmen families, and the remaining servants have been ordered not to leave their mansions. Half a step, waiting for interrogation.
It would be okay if he didn't know about it. In the end, the royal family can directly assign him to other families so that he won't be displaced.
If he knew about it, he would be treated as a traitor and charged with treason and collaborating with the enemy. Depending on the severity of his involvement, he could be sentenced to a "stone crown" at the least, and climb Mount Targon as a sinner, or be directly sentenced to hanging.
In fact, as early as the afternoon when Eldred was arrested, the confidant interrogator appointed by Tiana had already asked him and all the information known to him and the Noxian war stonemason Fabrich through the use of veritaserum.
It is indeed biased to say that Eldred is a member of the Black Rose Society of Noxus. He has not joined the Black Rose yet. After his original family completely lost power in Demacia, he moved to Noxus and followed He completely cut off contact and may have joined Black Rose.
This is considered the content of Eldred's deal with the Black Rose, to allow his family to be protected by the Black Rose, and to stay in Demacia as a Noxian spy to gain as much trust as possible, so that at some point in the future Suddenly there was turmoil.
The ability of a declining family to climb up the ranks of the Crown Guard family and marry the family leader's sister is inseparable from Black Rose's secret manipulation, in addition to their extraordinary abilities.
In addition, according to Eldred's confession, the shadow of this behind-the-scenes association was inseparable from Jarvan IV's suppression of border banditry, his subsequent march to the Gate of Sorrow, and his subsequent rescue of the prince by Barret.
When the king, prince and Barrett learned about this, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Jarvan IV has never been the target of Noxus. To be precise, they mainly want to see what price Jarvan III will pay to save his son.
Without Li Lin's help this time, there is a high probability that the prince would have survived, but that was not certain with Barrett coming to support.
At that time, if he learns that his good brother Barrett was killed by the mage, what will Jarvan III's attitude towards the mage be like now...
Even he couldn't imagine it.
Li Lin didn't know that just interrogating Eldred would elevate his status in the hearts of the king, prince and other powerful people in Demacia.
Eldred's interrogation came to an end, and later on, the interrogator interrogated Fabrice again.
Combining the confessions of Eldred, Newman, Camilla and Clement, they discovered more details about the turmoil in the capital.
They originally did not plan to be so radical and release Silas when the winged sister Kyle returned and fought Morgana. Instead, they planned to use Laxana, the legitimate daughter of the Crown Guard family.
Tiana, who was at the scene at the time, heard the news and almost lost control and drew her sword, killing the guys who dared to take advantage of her niece on the spot.
Although Tiana usually behaves very coldly towards the junior Crown Guards, she basically leaves them with an impression of fear.
But she is actually a person who is cold on the outside and warm on the inside. She is very concerned about her younger generations, especially her brother Peter's children, Galen and Laxana.
It's just that as the direct bloodline of the Crown Guard family, they will have to shoulder the important task of protecting their family and country in the future and inheriting the Crown Guard family. Tiana has higher requirements for them.
But since Li Lin came to Demacia, the rebel party suddenly changed their tactics and became extremely radical.
The war stonemason Fabrich is only a peripheral member of the Black Rose Society and doesn't know much about it. He only came into contact with a certain senior Black Rose personnel a few days ago, received new orders from the Pale Lady, and strictly carried out the tasks.
After Barrett and Tiana reported the matter to Jarvan III, they agreed that it was the prince's army leading a conflict with Noxus on the border. Li Lin also participated in it and came into contact with the Pale Lady, which attracted her attention. .
The reason why she sacrificed Eldred as a chess piece at a huge cost this time was to test what other abilities he had.
After helping Demacia and the Lightshield royal family eliminate hidden dangers, part of Li Lin's information was known to Noxus, and Jarvan III still felt ashamed of being with him.
But Li Lin himself was not worried about this.
Not to mention the Gila Mann mansion, which he had previously remodeled and was now filled with camera scanning devices and defensive weapons.
Both Gila Mann and his wife have already taken the "gene enhancement potion". Although the second phase of "active enhancer" enhancement has not yet started, the injection will not take long.
Not to mention that when they usually go out, Li Lin sends mechanical engineers and invisible drones to follow and protect them, so safety is not a problem.
Not to mention Caitlin, she is currently wearing the Source Project Future Nano Armor, which has already undergone the second stage of physical strengthening, and her combat effectiveness is basically invincible in the Twin Cities.
Even if LeBlanc sends his "Through the Looking Glass" trick clone to sneak into the Twin Cities and Gila Mann's house, the situation will be detected by Intelligent Brain.
Trickery is an application of black magic. It will leave traces as long as it is used. With the current quantum computing system of Intelligent Brain, it could not be easier to identify the subtle magic energy index.
If LeBlanc was so ignorant and dared to attack the people around Li Lin, he wouldn't mind going to Noxus and completely erasing the Black Rose organization from the history of Noxus.
At that time, maybe the current commander-in-chief Jericho Swain will be grateful to him.
Early in the morning on the eighth day, the king once again convened the Shield Council, which was now basically in name only, with only 4 people left.
This time, not only some representative families from the first and second echelons of Xiongdu were present in the parliament hall, but also those who had someone in their family holding an official position, all came to participate in this open parliament.
Li Lin is naturally also a special "guest" of this parliament.
To his surprise, in addition to the Grand Marshal, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Noble Management, and the Bishop of the Illuminator Church, there were new faces in the remaining four vacant seats in this parliament.
Barrett temporarily sat on the chair that originally belonged to Eldred, and Peter sat on the seat of Newman, the Minister of Law. The two people were relatively familiar to Li Lin.
Due to a major shake-up at the top level, among the remaining nobles, Jarvan III trusts them the most, so they need to temporarily hold two key positions.
When a new trustworthy family is selected later, they can take a back seat again according to their own wishes.
In addition to them, sitting in the position of Minister of Land Resources Management Clement was a familiar person. It seemed that he was a new family that had been removed from the Omar family and came to take over.
And sitting in the seat of Foreign Secretary Camilla was a young woman who was very familiar to Li Lin.
She wore a white, close-fitting aristocratic swallow-tailed cloth armor on her upper body, with a bright sapphire embedded in her chest. She wore copper-colored protection on her shoulders and arms, and her lower body was dressed in ancient blue aristocratic gold-edged slim-fitting trousers and leather straps. Boots.
But that's not the point. The reason why Li Lin could recognize her at a glance was because of the strands of pink hair on both sides of her delicate face and her extremely sharp and determined blue eyes.
