Heart of the Castle

Chapter 425 Wang Ting's fierce debate, the gold content of a hero

During this period of time, most of the things discussed in the streets and alleys of the king's capital Philmeyer were related to the dawn of the northern border, from driving a griffin volley into the erupting Old Lord's crater, to miracles descending on the entire northern border of the kingdom overnight The city of building ice has become a legendary story that the citizens of Philmeyer talk about.Compared with this, there were no such incidents in other places in the Kingdom where demonic disasters also broke out. They either asked for help or were trapped, or the manors and towns were breached by demons. It seemed that those lords were extremely incompetent.

The deeds of heroes are always imaginative, and the image of heroes is even more so. Although the nobles of Firmeyer did not listen to the rumors of the small townspeople, they all have a rough outline of Li Wei's image.Since this griffin lord with the strength of a high-ranking knight can kill so many powerful demon leaders and contend with terrifying demon lords, he must be tall and strong with hillocks on his arms. Muscular, with a strong appearance, keen eyesight, a resolute and courageous personality, and a suffocating sense of coercion around his body... In short, it is right to be like a more civilized Earl of the Magic Mountain.

However, the young man walking out of the crowd looked ordinary, wearing a well-tailored aristocratic knight uniform, with a long sword hanging from his waist, neither his attire nor his appearance could be said to be particularly outstanding. Not as good.Many nobles couldn't help casting puzzled looks, and then the people around them who claimed to know the inside story explained in a low voice, many of which were contradictory.

The eyes of the important officials of the kingdom also cast their gazes on Li Wei. With the help of his keen perception ability, Li Wei could clearly feel the different emotions contained in those gazes.Lord Peeling's gaze was devoid of emotion, and he just made the movement of looking. To this law enforcer of the kingdom with ice and snow flowing through his body, Li Wei was nothing more than a thing.The fire magician's gaze seemed a bit too kind and peaceful, and it was even more intimate than the gaze of Cardinal Enoch Sebasta, but Li Wei keenly caught the faint magic aura emanating from his pupils, showing that This feeling is only due to the effect of magic.

The eyes of Bamilian, the head of the palace, still released frank and good intentions, but the eyes of the last two important ministers of the kingdom can only be described as hostile.Earl Leonard Stilwell's pupils were surrounded by a faint purple electric light, and his eyes were looking at Li Wei with an undisguised killing intent. This did not make Li Wei feel surprised. During the competition, the face of the Stilwell family has been completely lost, and those two unlucky guys died under the pursuit of the cursed black sun, so that Count Leonardo even had no chance to vent his anger. No.As for Earl Gregor of the Magic Mountain family, he was no different from a wise beast. Under his thick black hair, two blood-red eyes looked at Levi, like an angry bison looking for a target to vent its anger on.

His Majesty the King on the gorgeous throne also cast his eyes on Li Wei, the expression on his majestic face eased slightly, and the corners of his mouth were raised upwards, then he patted the armrest of the throne lightly, and said: "Mr. , I order you to read the edict now."

"Of order, Your Majesty the King." Hearing the order, Bamilian immediately stood up from his seat, took out a roll of parchment from the sleeve of his purple silk robe, and then began to read the will on it with his characteristic sweet voice .

"The evil disaster came ahead of time, the cowardly nobles fled one after another, and the people of the kingdom were terrified. At this time of crisis, the news of victory came from the northern border, the demon lord gave the leadership, the demon army retreated, and the situation in the kingdom changed." He read here He paused for a while, raised his head, smiled approvingly at Li Wei, and then continued to read, "Punishing lawlessness and rewarding meritorious deeds is the natural duty of the king! Therefore, His Majesty the King has an order for loyal Levi Ston, the lord of the North for his duty, was generously rewarded! He was promoted to the Viscount of the Kingdom, and he also served as the guardian of the northern border and the commander of the Northern Border, and made the historic city of North Aura and its surrounding territories a total of [-] hectares as his Fiefdom! The descendants will be hereditary!"

This king's decree even aroused even louder discussions than just now. The city of North Aura is known as the city of conquering demons. The city wall is towering and strong, and it was once an important military town in the northern border county.Although the importance of this castle has decreased due to the conquest of Greencastle and the extension of the border to the south bank of the Black River, it is still the largest and strongest fortress in Northern County except for the capital city of Deke.

A series of envious or jealous eyes cast on Li Wei's back, which made the young Griffin Lord feel a real burning sensation, and then he saw a figure from the seat of the kingdom's important ministers out of the corner of his eye. stand up.

"Your Majesty has an order, we will obey..."

"Wait!" A thunderous stern voice interrupted the court steward's reading, and the important minister who stood up was Count Leonardo, who was in charge of the Lightning Knights. Countless thunderbolts are being cultivated. "Your Majesty, please take it back for the time being. I have some doubts about the great achievements made by Lord Baron Leviston. I hope you will allow me to question it!"

There was no sound in the audience hall for a moment, and the extreme shock made many nobles pale and tongue-tied.Questioning the will of His Majesty the King is too frightening, although it is not uncommon in the history of the kingdom that the important ministers of the kingdom have such rights.However, since Dragon King Arthur XII came to the throne strongly, no important minister has ever dared to do this in the audience hall.

What Earl Leonardo did was tantamount to touching the dragon king's reverse scale.

However, unlike what everyone had guessed, His Majesty the King on the throne did not fly into a rage. He just pressed his hands on the armrest of the throne, leaned forward, and his eyes became more powerful. "Marquis Reeves." He named the kingdom's enforcers, "Please tell me, is Count Leonardo's request in line with the kingdom's laws?"

With a haggard face, Marquis Reeves, who looked like a skeleton in armor, stood up, bowed deeply to the throne, and answered with a concise and powerful voice. "Your Majesty, in accordance with the law."

"Since it complies with the law, then I grant this request." Arthur XII's answer brought joy to Earl Leonardo's face, and also made the nobles below discuss a lot, and Knight Hyde turned pale. , Worried about the choice of his father, Grand Duke Raul.However, before the king finished speaking, the joy on Count Leonardo's face immediately faded when the next sentence was uttered, and his entire face turned livid.

"However, Earl Leonardo's public questioning is obviously a kind of damage to Viscount Leviston's reputation. For the sake of justice, if your questioning turns out to be false in the end, then I will release you as the leader of the Lightning Knights." Duty, as a punishment!" His Majesty's words were like pouring boiling water into a hot oil pan, and the nobles in the audience hall suddenly exploded, and many people cried out in shock, with horrified expressions on their faces Come.

The act of touching the dragon king's reverse scale is indeed a very dangerous thing. Even the head of the majestic Lightning Knights and one of the Nine Pillars, Earl Leonardo Stilwell, this time he sent himself under the mouth of the dragon .A trace of remorse and resentment flashed in his eyes. The former was regret for his reckless behavior, and the latter was aimed at the other important ministers of the kingdom who put on a stand-by attitude.But then he nodded viciously, and replied word by word, "Your Majesty, this condition is very reasonable, and I fully accept it!"

"So what's the other party's opinion?" Arthur XII turned his gaze to Li Wei, "Dawn in the North, oh, or do you prefer the nickname Twilight Knight Riox?"

His Majesty the King laughed triumphantly after saying this joking sentence, but the nobles in the audience hall were all at a loss. Except for Li Wei, no one felt that there was anything funny about this sentence.A slightly nervous expression appeared on Li Wei's face, "Your Majesty, that name is an alias I gave myself for the sake of convenience. Please forgive me for not being able to recognize Your Majesty in time."

Li Wei's sincere answer made His Majesty the King's interest even higher. He obviously recalled his adventure career in the Twilight Forest, and the majestic expression on his face became a little more relaxed. "That pseudonym is very famous, if you don't mind, I will use it in the future."

A few loud coughs came from Marquis Reeves' mouth, which interrupted His Majesty's reverie, so he regained his solemn expression. "Viscount Li Wei, are you willing to accept Earl Leonardo's inquiry and defend yourself? If you refuse, according to the laws of the kingdom, you still have the title of viscount, but the fiefdom will not increase. "

This may well be the only chance the Griffon Lord has to repair relations with the Stilwell family.The words of His Majesty the King fell to the ground, and the nobles in the audience hall held their breaths.Even Earl Leonardo himself couldn't help being nervous. Of course, he hoped that Li Wei would refuse to defend, and he could even give up the hatred of two important members of the family for their fiasco.But this is just his wishful thinking. After thinking for a while, Li Wei nodded firmly.

"His Majesty the King, I am willing to accept all inquiries from anyone and testify for myself with facts!"

A burst of violent exhalation swept across the entire audience hall. It was the sound of many nobles who had held their breath just now exhaling together. Although everyone's voice was not loud, the sum of them was like a gust of wind passing through the mountains.Li Wei's words made many of them look bad, and Count Leonardo was the worst of them.He looked more like a dead man than the Marquis of Reeves, with resentful eyes shining in his eyes, staring at Li Wei.

"Since both parties have no objection," Arthur XII stood up, and his voice was like thunder rolling through the hall, "Bishop Enoch Sebasta, please perform the sacred summoning ceremony, and let the gods in the sky come for them Witness!"
