Chronicle of the Elf Realm
Chapter 74: Tit-for-Tat in the Council Chamber
The Procristios Council Hall is resplendent. The dome of the golden wood carvings is very gorgeous. It is inlaid with star ring carvings, just like the vast universe. Eight long spiral columns inlaid with black and gold stand on both sides, with four fans. Special brass windows are neatly arranged on a gray rock wall, and the sunlight shines through the stained glass, projecting a mysterious atmosphere.
The eye-catching long table in the parliament hall is made of pure gold and is engraved with complex and profound patterns. The handle of the seat, which is also made of pure gold, is inlaid with sparkling diamonds.
The floor specially made of golden nanmu is covered with thick cashmere blankets. Murals painted with gold paint occupy all the walls. Ancient potted plants, fragile ceramics and precious wood carvings are used to decorate the entire parliament hall.
This is where the Chamber of Procristeus, known as the Golden Chamber, is located.
The scent of ambergris is faintly wafting out of the gilt-copper incense burner with a crystal-clear and warm color.
Hermes VII glanced at Hilissant at the end of the long golden table. He was facing Hermes VII from the side, looking out the brass window, not knowing whether he was looking at the sea.
Hermes VII walked in with his head held high, and his golden cane made a dull sound every time it rested on the cashmere blanket.
Haili Shante was wearing a black Shu embroidered Han robe today, with a cloud dragon embroidered with gold thread on the chest, looking ferocious and majestic.
A trace of ridicule flashed in the eyes of Hermes VII. He dared to embroider dragon symbols on his robes, which were sworn in with the elves. This showed that Hayesant either did not take him seriously or had a rebellious mentality.
This dress is the best declaration of war.
"Seventh Generation, your old man is finally here." Helishante finally left the window reluctantly, turned his head and showed an expression as if he had just discovered the appearance of the elder. His face was full of smiles, as if he had met a friend he had not seen for a long time. There was no sign of any hostile feelings at all.
"You're all well and good." Hermes VII smiled slightly, bypassing Heilisant who was about to step forward for a hug, and sat down on the right side of the seat at the end of the long golden table.
Helisant was ignored and hugged. He did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he smiled even wider. He agreed with Hermes VII, stood in front of the golden chair at the end, and then called the elders of each family to take their seats.
After all the elders were seated, he suppressed his smile and coughed slightly. Like a host entertaining guests from afar, he sat down on the golden chair behind him as a matter of course, and then crossed his legs.
Hermes VII's eyes were narrowed and he could not see any reaction, but a senator next to him spoke: "Hallisant, although you are the first senator with a special senator's seat, don't forget No matter who you are here today, your posture and behavior must comply with etiquette, otherwise, the elders of your family will question your style."
As if Helisant didn't understand the threat in the words, he ignored it and called out a name in a low voice: "Ramel."
The tall and tall Raphael wore an open black windbreaker, his silver chainmail was tied with a black jade belt, his armor-piercing sword and silver shield were pinned behind his back, and his ankles were tied with plate-shaped silver wristbands, covering his body. Looking at Bai Yuhuan, under the shiny black parted hair, a pair of dark brown eyes were staring at Haili Shante's back.
He had always been standing not far behind Hailieshante in the middle of a row of guards. Now, when Hailieshante called his name, he jogged a few steps and hurriedly bent down to get close to him.
"Senator, what are your orders?" Ramiel lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Please tell the family elders about the behavior of our outstanding princess." Herisand smiled, the fine lines on his face became more obvious. He folded his hands in front of the long golden table and waited quietly for Ramil. description of.
"Halissate, you!" A senator's face turned red, and he was about to criticize Helishante, but was stopped by Hermes VII with a wave of his hand.
Hermes VII said slowly: "Although, it violates the hierarchy of etiquette to let a small servant come to describe it, but I don't think you should care too much about it. After all, it is inevitable that the veteran Highmountain has been the leader for so long. Somewhat forgetful."
As soon as he finished speaking, in addition to the senators who originally had the special senator's seat on the golden long table, other senators echoed.
Halicante just smiled, and when Hermes VII waved his hand to signal Raphael to speak, Halicand also looked at Ramil with a smile.
Ramil understood everything and fluently recounted all Princess Haiya’s faults:
The laws that the princess violated are as follows:
First, leaving the palace without permission
Second, injure the Imperial Guards
Third, disrupt ongoing competitions
Fourth, having an affair with a guard.
Every crime, added up, can deprive her of the title of princess and drive her out of the Holy Water Palace.
Basil Christine Haiya is lawless and has violated the principles of being a princess.
"What kind of bullshit are you? You don't deserve to call Her Royal Highness the Princess by her first name." One of the senators said angrily, scolding Ramil.
"A mere little guard, I think you are getting impatient. Guards, take him down quickly." Another senator said angrily.
But Haylisant stopped him: "What a big deal, why do we need the Guards? Ramil was just making a statement, right, Hermes VII?"
"That's right. The statement was originally innocent. However, for this malicious frame-up and damage to the princess's reputation, I think it would be better for the Imperial Guard to take him down." Hermes VII sneered.
"Oh, this is all the result of the investigation by our special Senate. Hermes VII, why did you frame him just by saying it casually? Your words are too arbitrary," Haylisant said tit for tat.
"Then I would like to see the evidence of the so-called investigation results."
"Spirit Realm Illusionist, the elder wants to see the evidence, show it to him quickly." Hailishante shouted loudly.
All the elders present looked at the development of the situation with a cold face.
The spiritual illusionist hunched over and stepped forward quickly. After bowing to the elders, he began to recite incantations in a low voice. A colorless curtain of water appeared behind Hailishante, and the blue projection faintly glowed. , showing what Princess Haiya did in the past scene by scene.
Hermes VII looked at the jumping scenes, especially the scene where Haiya kicked over the Imperial Guards. His face turned ugly. When he saw Haiya boarding the space train and heading to the Alien Water Palace, , and the corner of his mouth twitched a few times without leaving any trace. The princess he and his family had spent so much effort to cultivate actually did so many things that embarrassed him and the family.
The projection of the illusion was fixed on the moment when the six-pointed star in Haiya's hand dimmed. Herisand turned his head and said to Hermes VII: "Seventh Generation, you have also seen this. I guess you know the reason why the six-pointed star is dim without me telling you."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess's thoughts are undoubtedly tied to her personal bodyguard. This is completely different from the fundamental principles of the Water Tribe. Measures must be taken," Hailishante said harshly, changing his gentle smile from before.
"Then what measures are you going to take?" Hermes VII raised the corners of his mouth, his sarcasm obvious.
"According to the rules of the Holy Chosen One, it is natural."
"Impossible, the princess's power will not be transferred to a special seat of senators." Hermes VII was furious.
Other senators also expressed their support for Hermes VII and argued loudly over Hayrisand's decision.
"As an executive with a special seat of elders, I have the power to decide this matter. I have summoned all the elders of my family here today not to ask you to point your fingers at my decision." Hillisant looked serious and spoke word by word. Sonorous and powerful.
"Oh, according to what you said, you didn't come to us to discuss, but to inform us." Hermes VII suppressed his anger, and a friendly smile appeared on his face, but it made people's hair stand on end and shuddered.
"You can say that." Highmount didn't give in.
Hermes VII played with the emerald ring on his left thumb. He stood up amidst the dissatisfaction of the many attacks on Halisand. He faced everyone and smiled: "I think it's time to readjust the special senator's seat. Member, after all, our Elder Heilishante is already a little delirious."
The other elders stood up in agreement.
It seems that they are already planning to redistribute power.
"Guards, what are you still doing?" Hermes VII snorted coldly.
Although the Shui Tribe's chain-mail Imperial Guards are managed by a special elder seat, they obey the orders of their captain, and their captain is another key cultivation target of the Basil family from Zou Jiao, and is basically a member of the Imperial Guard. They all belong to the Basil family, so the entire Praetorian Guard is equivalent to being a subordinate of the Basil family.
This is also the reason why Hermes VII was able to allow Halisante to remain at the top of the special senatorial seat in the Holy Water Palace, because to him, he was the elf who truly controlled the Holy Water Palace, and he did not take Halisant seriously at all. Pass.
The Water of Chainmail has always been the pride of the Basil family, and Hermes VII also boasted that there was absolutely no way that Haylisante could infiltrate the Water of Chainmail. That’s why he had the confidence to make an act that exceeded his authority at the Elders’ Meeting. decision.
Because he is the real leader of Chainmail Water.
He has thousands of troops following him, how can he be afraid?
But the Praetorian Guards remained motionless.
Hillisant clapped his hands and showed a smile full of fine lines: "Hermes, this is an act of rebellion."
You must know that although Hayrisant's power and status in the Basil family are not as good as Hermes VII, only in the Holy Water Palace does he have a higher nominal status than Hermes VII. In the Holy Water Palace, all decisions are made by the special Senate seat. Failure to obey can be regarded as treason as follows:
Hermes VII's white eyebrows wrinkled, but he didn't look panicked at all. He just repeated: "Prisoner Guards, what are you still doing?"
The Praetorian Guards remained motionless.
Hallisan stood up slowly, holding his hands on the table of the golden bench, as if he were a powerful king.
"Hermes, according to the laws of the Water Tribe, this elder has the right to kill you." Herisant looked at Hermes VII, his eyes showing unprecedented ferocity.
Only then did Hermes VII feel slightly frightened. The situation in front of him had developed beyond his imagination.
