The mage arrives

244 Victory and Defeat

"I have never denied this. I have always had deep sympathy for those victims. Even Baron Joshua, who spoke ill of me, I have no resentment. I am a mage, although the strength It’s not strong, but I know a little bit of mixed drug knowledge. I am happy to provide treatment for people who are still suffering from devil’s toxin. So, what do you want to express, ma’am?”

Mrs. Windsor showed an elegant smile, which made the male nobles watching her almost hold their breath: "What I want to say is that your starting point may be good, but when you deal with this matter, it is not appropriate. I believe in finding a perfect way to solve the problem instead of abandoning the weak in cold blood in order to survive."

"Perfect method? Indeed, after all the terrifying demons have been wiped out and the entire Far Frost Province has returned to calm, you can stand leisurely in this hall, enjoying the men's admiring eyes, while thinking about the so-called perfection." Solution."

Gordon said slightly mockingly: "But do you know what kind of situation we were in at that time? We escaped from the siege of demons after a series of fierce battles. We marched almost non-stop, and everyone was tired and hungry. We There is a lack of supplies, reinforcements are far away, and the devil chasing soldiers behind will arrive at any time. You let us slowly find a perfect solution in that situation? In this world, not everything can be donated to the church. Or give free bread to the poor to solve it."

"Baron Gordon, what do you mean!" Mrs. Windsor did not expect that the young nobleman mocked herself, mercilessly saying every word.This is really a great shame for Mrs. Windsor, who is almost invincible in aristocratic circles, especially among men, relying on her own feminine charm.

Anger made her voice shrill.The honorifics in the speech also disappeared without a trace.

"What I mean is that I believe that humans with normal intelligence can understand it. Let me just say that you are a naive and naive woman. The decisions I and all the warriors who have gone through the test of blood and fire made in difficult situations are not You and other hypocritical moral defenders are qualified to blame!"

Gordon's words were like a heavy hammer, and the nobles in the hall of Bahamut fell silent.

After a while, Mrs. Windsor, who was trembling with anger, came back to her senses.She cursed the damn black-haired mage a million times in her heart, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by another person.

"Beautiful lady, if you know the times. Sit down."

The speaker was a handsome man with a thick baritone voice and flowing long hair.He is the younger brother of Earl Julian, the lord of Clearwater City, a prodigal son who traveled around the mainland as a bard in his early years, and only recently returned home to inherit the family business.He is also a nobleman of the Grand Duke of Scepter.

This Viscount Andro Julian, because of his long career as a bard, coupled with his handsome appearance and intoxicating voice, is suitable for this kind of talking job.

He said: "The nobles in this hall. Except for the real victims like Baron Joshua, the others are basically not qualified to take responsibility for the decisions made by Baron Gordon Freeman. Because this mage And Ms. Bishop and others fought bloody battles to save you or your relatives and friends from the claws and fangs of the devil. Mrs. Windsor, when the decision of Baron Gordon is not 'perfect', you might as well think about it Think, who exactly should you thank when you reunite with your nephew and niece who returned safely from the fall hunt?"

Almost all the nobles in the hall changed their expressions.Viscount Andro was right.They either took part in the fall hunt themselves.Or there are relatives and friends in the family who participated in the autumn hunting.Although Gordon deliberately kept a low profile, everyone knows all about the credits he made for the team by creating an avalanche and leading the team into the ancient road...

Just then.His Royal Highness announced that the time had come and the voting officially began.

Joshua Feder's face was ugly.Because after the verbal battle just now, Gordon has clearly gained the upper hand in public opinion.Especially the words of Viscount Andro Julian at the end played a decisive role.Those words, if uttered by Gordon, would give the impression of self-respect.But it is natural for others to speak out for his contribution.

Except for those diehards of Earl Thompson's faction, no one wants to bear the infamy of revenge.Even Mrs. Windsor, who had an ulterior relationship with Durrington, was frowning at this moment and fell into a state of entanglement.

Earl Thompson's residence is relatively deep, and he doesn't express his feelings on his face like Joshua, a bumpkin.At this time, he was annoyed at the lack of success, while comforting himself: "It's okay. Today is just an outpost. Even if we win, it is at most just a foreshadowing, and it cannot completely kill Gordon. Tomorrow, That's the key. If Gordon Freeman's collusion with the undead is realized, neither the sharp tongue nor Rob Antello's scepter will be able to save him!"

Shortly after Gordon returned to his seat, the results of the vote were announced.Only one-third of the nobles supported Joshua Feder's accusation.Almost all neutral nobles are on their side.Gordon won in a landslide.

Earl Thompson was not disheartened by defeat, nor was Gordon elated by victory.Because both sides know that the real contest is yet to come.

Gordon and Dorn had just walked out of the Bahamut Hall when they saw three beautiful ladies waiting for him.Due to the existence of a tall girl with flying silver hair, the men who wanted to talk to her consciously retreated, so the beauty was molested, and then the protagonist appeared on the stage, and the simple plot of slapping the face did not appear.

"Sister, why are you here?" Gordon looked at Falia, then Shelley, and finally decided to greet his own sister first.

"Well, I need to discuss with Helen whether her wedding dress should be creamy white or pearly white, you can talk slowly..." Don still had no choice but to make a clumsy excuse and left quickly.

"The noble assembly is such an important matter, of course I want to take care of my brother."

Xiona's voice was still a little weak.Due to recovering from a serious injury, her complexion was still a little pale, and her hair was just loosened casually, instead of being tied into a capable and lively ponytail as usual.I'm used to seeing my younger sister's heroic appearance, but this kind of sickly beauty's posture now has a special charm.

"Talk slowly, I'm going to find my father," Faria said.Her mission today is to escort Xiona here.Now that the task is completed, she has no intention of staying any longer.

Although she is still a little blunt in dealing with people, the father-daughter relationship between this young lady and the lord of the scepter has improved a lot, at least she can stop calling out the title "father" in front of people.

Gordon nodded, watched the silver-haired girl leave, and then he and Shelley helped Xiona get into the carriage specially arranged for them by Lord Rob Andelo.

"Xiona's body hasn't fully recovered yet, you told me to do this, what's your plan?" After getting into the carriage and sitting next to Gordon, Shelley asked quietly.

This morning, it was Gordon who instructed Shelley to bring Xiona to Bahamut Hall before the end of the conference.Shelley knew that the Freeman brothers and sisters had a deep bond, and Gordon, the brother, loved his sister very much, and sometimes even made her, the lover, jealous.So it was impossible for him to let Xiona, who was still very weak, go out in the winter for no reason.

Although the beautiful girl leaned close to her ear, exhaling like blue, which made the ears feel very comfortable, but Gordon still restrained his mind and said, "I am here to set a long line and catch a big fish... Look, there is a big fish outside. The big fish took the bait."

Gordon half-drawn the curtain.Shelley looked in the direction her lover was pointing at, just in time to see Earl Thompson's gloomy face like a lead cloud...

The clever half-elf girl seemed to understand something and nodded.

Gordon held his lover's soft and tender little hand: "After returning home, you, Xiona, and the family of Sister Elaine and Sister Elaine will use the teleportation array that Lord Rob set up in advance to leave. Tonight, the family may be Very lively..."

Watching the luxurious carriage with the Antaello family crest disappearing at the end of the street, Earl Thompson's mood at this moment was indescribably terrible.

Sheona is here!

That little girl who was supposed to die a long time ago actually appeared!

"Bastard! Asalan Delmavic, that bastard mage! He repeatedly assured me that the little girl in Freeman's family who had undergone a dissociation technique suffered a serious injury that could never be cured. Even if she didn't die, she couldn't wake up. But now What? Not only did she wake up, but she was alive and kicking!"

Thinking of the possibility of Xiona attending the noble meeting and accusing herself of murdering nobles, running away and other crimes, Earl Thompson felt chills all over his body.Thinking of the loss of his family, wealth, status, and even life because of the appearance of this little girl, Earl Thompson's heart trembled.

Earl Thompson thought he had done his best, spending a lot of money and manpower to arrange a perfect spy network near Freeman's house.

How much food and medicine the Freeman family bought every day, and where Gordon went every day, he thought he knew everything.But now, he realized that he was the idiot who was kept in the dark.

"What a beautiful blow...Gorden actually concealed the news that Xiona had awakened until now. It seems that Rob Antello and Gordon are going to fight at the noble meeting tomorrow..."

After the initial panic, Earl Thompson quickly calmed down, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.When he opened his eyes again, his expression became extremely cold: "It seems that I have to go back quickly and discuss it with Lord Malik Baratheon. How powerful is his 'Shadow Hand' unit? I'm looking forward to it..." (To be continued..)
