This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 224 Warning!warn!
Unlike the pure aristocracy in Magnum, the aristocrats in Yingnan have money but no power.

A revolution 60 years ago caused the once powerful aristocratic class in Yingnan to plummet. Rebels in dozens of cities forced the king to sign the "Bill of Rights", allowing all nobles to hand over their rights to the nominal parliament.In the end, the revolution succeeded, and the nobles did lose their legislative and judicial powers, and only the king had certain executive powers.

Of course, this is only superficial success.Not long after the revolution, the aristocrats gave a vivid lesson to those mud-legged people, saying that "you can really do whatever you want with money".

If you don't have rights, buy those who have rights.

In the early morning of the second day, an ordinary inauguration ceremony will be held in the Jordanian government hall.Although due to the epidemic, the inauguration ceremony did not have much ostentation, but the people who came here all had special skills.

"A total of 36 nobles participated in the ceremony."

In the early morning, Zhou Li, who arrived at the Jordanian government building early, received a list of confirmed participants, including 36 government personnel including members of parliament, [-] personnel from other Jordanian forces, one from the chamber of commerce, and There are [-] noble representatives.

After receiving the list, Zhou Li, who was wearing the uniform of the Grand Consul, just glanced at it lightly, and then handed the list to Ain.For him, it doesn't matter who comes, the one who comes is the most important.

This time, Zhou Li was finally not the visitor.

"This old boy really came."

Through the window on the sixth floor, Zhou Li saw that Noxa, whose upper body was covered in bandages, was talking to Erwin beside him. He turned his head and said to the staff beside him, "Notify them, thirty minutes After planting, it will officially start.”

"Ok."

The staff responsible for coordinating the meeting nodded, then took out the communicator and started talking with other people.Zhou Li glanced at the time, then turned and went to the lounge not far away.

"How are the preparations?"

This time Zhou Li attended the ceremony with Elma, Ivy, Ah Zi, Don Quixote and Lia Ke.Elma is Zhouli's bound equipment, Ivy and Azi represent Zhouli's Chamber of Commerce forces, Don Quixote is present as the leader of the Guardian Shield, and Lia Ke represents Muqi.

"no problem."

After Ain helped tidy up his clothes, Aiwei looked at Zhou Li, shrugged his shoulders and said, "After all, this is not the first time. Last time your battle was much bigger than this."

"That's right, when you became the Duke, the entire Silver City boiled over you alone. This has never happened before in the entire history."

In a light green dress, Liya with a pretty face pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I still remember that Ain and Kaya got lost and got lost in my noodle shop."

Hearing this, Ain's face on the side was stained with a blush, which is rare, and Ain's tone was a little embarrassing, "I can't help it, I really get lost easily..."

Ivy on the side shook his head with a smile, patted Ain on the shoulder, and added to Kaya who was standing with a smile: "Don't think that Ain can do everything every day, but he just can't read the map. The last time the palace was With such a road, she could almost walk into the restricted area, and the second generation knew him because of this incident."

Seeing Ain blushing and tugging at Ivy's ear, muttering "how is that kid lost?" breath.

"By the way, where's Elma?"

At this time, Don Quixote, who had been studying the golden scale sword hanging on the wall of the lounge, suddenly remembered that someone was missing, and asked curiously.

"She..."

Zhou Li thought for a while, and after telling everyone that he was going to enter the arena in half an hour, he turned and left.

Following the stairs, Zhou Li walked slowly to the rooftop.Sure enough, on the empty rooftop, Elma stood quietly under the blue sky.The breeze blew Elma's long white dress, and a dove landed at her feet, as if accompanying her.

"what happened?"

Zhou left the mouth, awakened by this beautiful picture that he didn't want to pass on. The white dove flew into the air, and Elma didn't look back, but just stared blankly at the rare blue sky, feeling a little fascinated for a while.

"Zhou Li..."

After a long while, Elma turned around, her bright eyes and white teeth were glowing softly under the sun, she looked at Zhou Li, her voice was a little erratic, "The sky is so beautiful..."

"Yes."

Zhou Li stepped forward and stood side by side with Elma. He raised his head and stared at the sky with Elma, "It's quite lucky that Yingnan can have such a sunny day."

"Yeah, I'm really lucky."

Staring intently at Zhou Li's profile, the corners of Elma's mouth curled into a perfect arc, she leaned against Zhou Li, and gently held his hand.

"my king."

********************************
"What did you say?"

Looking at the man with a gloomy face in front of him, Christine had a look of astonishment on his face.

"General Christine, please convey this to our Grand Consul. If he insists on going his own way, we will not abide by the honor of the nobility. The people around him should not have his strength."

He repeated his own words again. In the office, the shadowy man's voice was cold, without any emotion, only a strong killing intent.

However, as expected, Christine's rage or persuasion did not appear. On the contrary, Christine first smiled inexplicably, and then there was a burst of mocking laughter.

"Nick, you make me feel...funny."

The look of sarcasm mixed with pity made the nobleman called Nick feel on pins and needles. He didn't understand why Christine would have such a reaction.But immediately, Christine gave the answer.

"Are you questioning my strength?"

As a family of assassins known as the hidden assassin of the British South, Nick, the patriarch of the Leia family, has countless sinful blood on his hands.He is the most trusted sword of all the Jordanian nobles, and also the "ghost" that makes all factions against the nobles fearful.He looked at Christine who was mocking him, and said in a bad tone:

"Christine, I can tell you that the six brilliant-level assassins I have arranged have arrived at their respective positions. Don't underestimate the determination of our nobles, and don't underestimate my ability!"

"No, no, I've never underestimated your strength, and your so-called...uh...determination?"

Christine completely gave up on this group of nobles. He knew that he could no longer be a so-called middleman. If he continued to let this group of nobles go, he would only be greeted with another devastating blow from the Gospel.He looked at the man in front of him, there was no expression on his face, only pure coldness.

"I just want to give you the most sincere advice."

Christine still couldn't forget that when Zhou Li stayed alone in the Jordan Tower, the pure hatred and murderous intent in the diffuse black mist made even him, who was bestowed by God, feel the bone-piercing fear.At that moment, Christine couldn't even believe her senses.He couldn't believe that this kind of hatred and killing intent existed in a human being.

Who can bear this kind of hatred?
He didn't dare to think about it, and Christine couldn't think about it either. Having been in the officialdom for many years, he knew that the truth is sometimes a deadly poison.After the Battle of the Jordan Tower, Christine found a well-preserved monitoring device. He called up the confrontation between Zhou Li and the Omen of the Plague, but for some reason, the battle screen was completely disturbed and could not be viewed.

However, Christine still saw a picture.That is, when killing the evil omen of the plague, the black mist on Zhou Li's body tended to solidify, and a terrifying aura that was close to destruction kept lingering around him. With only one video tape, Christine almost lost his mind. fall.

At that moment, the so-called evil spirits were unable to summarize his meaning of Khorne, and Christine even thought that the boy in front of him was the real omen of the catastrophe that brought about the destruction of the world.Just as he stretched out his trembling hand and was about to turn off the video, the next picture interrupted his movement.

Elma appeared.

When the elf-like girl ignored Zhou Li's strangeness and hugged him straight away, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, the aura that was approaching destruction gradually dissipated, and the tyranny in Zhou Li's eyes also disappeared. Completely dissipated and restored the original clarity.

Ending his own memories, looking at the slightly puzzled Nick in front of him, Christine's face showed a fierce chill. The Templar General who had killed countless evil spirits stretched out his hand, and the invisible force suddenly clamped Nick's body. throat.Under Nick's horrified expression, Christine said in a deep voice:
"You can negotiate with Zhou Li, you can use any trick to deal with him. But if you want to use your disgusting methods to deal with anyone around him. Trust me, you don't need him."

"I'm here to help your family out."

Abandoning Nick who was so frightened by the coercion bestowed by God, Christine gave him a cold glance, then he wiped his hands, and left the office without looking back, preparing to preside over Zhou Li's inauguration ceremony .The door of the shuttle opened slowly, and the figures of Zhou Li and Elma appeared in front of Christine.

He smiled, greeted the two of them, and then naturally walked to Zhou Li's side, closing the gate of the shuttle.As if nothing happened just now, there was no abnormality on Christine's face.

But he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although Christine has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, he has spent 40 years in the sea of ​​corpses and blood.He clearly knew that if Elma got hurt because of anyone in Jordan, what would greet Jordan would be a catastrophe of destruction.

Christine has never forgotten that those who can fight against the natural disasters that destroy the world are brave.

"By the way, General Christine, I have a question."

In the shuttle, Zhou Li seemed to remember something, and asked Christine, "Where's that boy Royan?"

"Oh, him."

Looking as usual, Christine replied: "He is arranging the positions of the Templars. Today, in addition to the team of personal guards you brought, we, Yingnan, will also send a legion to guard your inauguration ceremony. This is a tradition. .”

"OK."

Zhou Li nodded, and at this moment, the door of the shuttle slowly opened.The three stepped out of the shuttle and walked slowly to the side hall of the government hall.Here, some of Zhouli's Jordanian acquaintances appeared in front of him.

"Yo, it's all there."

Jordan's vice president of the Shadow Union, Lin Ling of the Nier Chamber of Commerce, Alpha of the Hunter Union, and Noxa of the Berserker Union all gathered in the hall.As a few people specially invited by Zhou Li, they can enjoy a lot of preferential treatment.

"Thank you for your invitation."

Lin Ling stepped forward, saluted thoughtfully, and then Zhou Li said, "Mr. Zhou Li, it's an honor to participate in your inauguration ceremony."

"Wait a moment…"

Seeing Lin Ling who was a little strange in front of him, Zhou Li shuddered, and then asked suspiciously, "Did you see Ah Zi?"

"No."

Lin Ling shook his head, who is Zhou Li? He instantly understood what Lin Ling meant.Zhou Li laughed, and said boldly: "I understand, I will arrange your location in a while, don't worry, Lin Zi will definitely not see you."

Lin Lingang's words of thanks froze on her lips. After a long time, she said quietly: "No, Mr. Zhou Li, you misunderstood."

"I want to talk to my sister."

"Uh, is that so..."

For a while, Zhou Li was a little embarrassed. He scratched his neck, and murmured in a puzzled voice, "Shouldn't this kind of rich and noble family fight for family property and not want to meet?"

"Xiao Zi and I don't have any hatred, or she doesn't necessarily know that I'm still alive."

Talking about Lin Zi, Lin Ling's eyes showed a rare tenderness, but soon, a bleakness appeared on her face, "I was there when my father was attacked. If it wasn't for someone who saved me, I'm afraid I would have been killed too." I would have lost my life in that attack. Later, in order to avoid my enemies, I kept acting as Neil, and I was afraid that contacting Xiao Zi rashly would make those people notice her, so I just paid attention to her silently."

Zhou Li frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "The enemy? Is it aimed at your Lin family?"

"I don't know much either."

Lin Ling shook her head. When talking about the existence of those who killed her father, her tone was filled with deep hatred, "After I settled down, I spent six years chasing down the clues of the murderer. But the murderer seems to have disappeared Similarly, nothing was found except that they had a certain connection with the British-South government."

"Ah."

Zhou Li nodded. He looked at Lin Ling, pondered for a moment and said, "You can tell your sister about these things."

"I know, but I'm afraid..."

He understood what Lin Ling was afraid of, but Zhou Li remembered that the Zisha Chamber of Commerce run by Ah Zi had never been just to provide her with wealth. She had been running the Chamber of Commerce for some purpose.Now, Zhou Li understands.

"You underestimate your sister."

The corner of Zhou Li's mouth curled up. He looked at Lin Ling who was a little surprised, and his voice was calm.

"Your sister may have already started looking for clues about the murderer."
