Make the dragon great again

Chapter 305 Impeachment (Two in One)

It was night, and the night wind in the central city of the empire was a little noisy.

The impeachment by force against Julian Dalton, the second consul of the Imperial Senate, the head of the Imperial Academy of Magic, and the fifth-ranked great magician, came unexpectedly as expected by most people.

As a country with a governing group composed of many great magicians, the impeachment of these consuls of the Saint Rand Magic Empire naturally has the color of a coup d'état.

Although it is said that as long as the strength is achieved, one can become a member of the Senate, but first come, first come, those who enter the Senate earlier, the longer the business time, the more interests they will occupy, and the latecomers can only find food from the leftovers of the predecessors .

Unless someone is kicked out of the Senate, there will be a vacancy in the distribution of benefits.

Julian has been famous for many years, and his teacher is the previous dean of the Academy of Magic. Before the former dean left the empire to find the legendary place where wise men live in seclusion - Cold Wind City, Julian was already a fourth-level strength. Under his management, he entered the Senate early, and later successfully inherited the position of the head of the Imperial Academy of Magic.

Relying on the teacher's political legacy, Julian has survived for decades to the position of the second consul of the Imperial Senate. Coupled with his decades of accumulation as the head of the Imperial Academy of Magic, he has a huge reputation in the local and even the military. contacts.

If it weren't for Julian himself being casual and preferring to immerse himself in research, otherwise even if he wants to look at the position of chief executive officer, I'm afraid it won't be too difficult...

Normally, such a veteran archmage who has qualifications, capital, and has not offended others much is unlikely to be impeached by others. After all, someone who is hostile to such a second consul of the empire has to consider bearing People with this identity and status, the pressure that can be brought to them.

However, it is precisely because Julian usually does not offend people very much and has no ambitions, but he has huge political capital, so others are always worried about whether he will be wooed by a certain faction, or fear that he will suddenly start a new business and loosen the original. The "academic faction" of the school twisted into a force that everyone feared.

Therefore, tonight's "impeachment" against Julian was actually expected by most people.

——The majority of people here refers to members of the Elders who are eligible to take a share in this "hunting"...

Although this "impeachment" has the nature of coercion by force, it did not actually fight.

Although Julian usually looks like a salty fish, he has been a member of the Senate for decades. The moment he found the mansion surrounded by people, he wanted to understand what happened.

He was not afraid of any danger to himself.

In terms of strength, Julian is second only to the Chief Consul in the entire St. Rand Magic Empire, and like that Chief Consul, he has the qualifications to hit the [Legendary] rank, if it weren't for the [Legendary Shackles] Because of this, he might have already become a legend.

In fact, this is also the reason why Julian has no intention of pursuing a career—he has spent almost his entire life on finding a way to break the [Legendary Shackles].

So Julian was not worried about himself, but worried about his students.

After all, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run away. Julian asked himself that there was nothing he could call a handle. If he really wanted to go through legal procedures to bring him down, he might have to start with his students.

And Julian's guess was correct. The main strategy of the main messengers of this impeachment is indeed to find "stains" and charges from those who have close contacts with Julian.

Among them, Elena was included...

In the center of the central city, the pyramid-shaped [Stairway of Truth], which is [-] meters high, and the Supreme White Tower of the [High Tower Forest], which is also known as the two wonders of the magic world, has been lit up by the enveloping magical brilliance.

At the top of the [Stairway of Truth] is a circular platform, which is an open-air conference hall and podium that the Imperial Senate will only use when deciding on major events.

The outer edge of the conference hall is surrounded by a circle of thick white jade stone pillars. The stone pillars are sparsely spaced, so you can look around the whole city.

At the beginning of the rise of the Gaia species, this is the place where the pioneers of the Gaia species of magicians gathered for debate. Every debate that took place at that time almost laid down one of the basic rules of the Gaia species magic system in the future. .

And to this day, it is still one of the highest halls of Gaia mages, but the truth debates in the past have long since disappeared. On the contrary, every time there is a power struggle, this place that has become a historical relic can still be seen. Maintain that little minimum usage.

As for the fact that "it was originally a meeting place for all Gaia magicians, but now it has completely become the private land of the human race", after the human race excluded other Gaia species from the main habitable zone of the mainland, it was almost completely forgotten by history. forgotten...

In the center of the circular open-air conference hall, where the speaker's stage was originally, now it has become the dock, and Julian is standing alone on it.

"...Your Excellency Julian, do you admit to the above accusation?"

After listing a lot of "crimes" with varying consequences, the middle-aged magician who confronted Julian, with a confident smile on his face, graciously gave the old senior the last chance to argue.

"Hehe, what's the point of my explanation now?"

Archmage Julian, in the image of a wise elder, chuckled, and said with a self-deprecating or sneering:

"You have come prepared. No matter what I say today, it will have no effect on the result you have prepared for me."

"So, Lord Julian is ready to plead guilty?"

The middle-aged magician smiled even brighter. He was very excited about the fact that he was about to pull down the second consul in public, and he didn't have the consciousness of being regarded as a leader at all.

"Don't get me wrong, I just know the disposition of you bastards very well, so I made the judgment of 'you will convict me no matter what you say', it doesn't mean that I admit that the crimes you put on me really exist. "

"Hmph, the evidence is conclusive. Your Excellency Julian should not take chances. Because you are the second consul of the empire, we treat you with courtesy for committing such a crime, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Julian didn't give this stunned head any face at all.

"Otherwise, you plan to use force to force me to confess?"

"certainly……"

Before the other party could finish speaking, Julian interrupted him again:
"Why? With the Empire's mage legion? Don't think that I don't know the real reason why you want to beat me down. The mage group in the central city was only sent out by you three days ago. You really dare to call them Come back to deal with me? Or, just relying on everyone here, you want me to submit?"

Julian's expression remained unchanged, but a powerful aura rose from his body, and a storm of magic power was blown in all directions.

The man who acted as the spear-headed bird blushed, but was so overwhelmed by Julian's aura that he couldn't speak at all.

"Okay! Julian, as a defendant, you are coercing the prosecutor's representative in public. You really are getting better and better. It's no wonder that the Imperial Academy of Magic is getting worse and worse in your hands."

An aura slightly inferior to Julian's rose up, and then several more auras moved after hearing the wind, surrounding the person who made the sound, so that the whirlwind rolled up by Julian forcibly suppressed it.

The person who spoke was a bald old man with a beard, and there were many strange magic marks on his shiny forehead.

This person is the third consul of the Senate, the seat is second only to Julian's Finx Hoel, and he is a fifth-level spiritual magician.

Although the seat in the Senate is second only to Julian, when it comes to power, Finks is slightly bigger than Julian, who has no intention of managing politics.

"Evidence." Julian said only one word.

Although Julian doesn't care about power, but the identity of the dean of the college was passed on to him by the teacher. He doesn't want to lose this position except for his own retirement or voluntary resignation. This will shame the name of the teacher .

At the same time, he also knows where he stands. Once he falls down, for himself, he just loses some reputation and a position he doesn't need at all, but for those related to him, it's hard to say that this will not It will become a major turning point in their lives from now on...

Finks said to the side:
"Bring them up."

them……

Julian had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, those who were brought up from the outside were all people whom Julian was very familiar with. They were all or had been students of the Imperial Academy of Magic, and all of them had been guided by Julian.

There are the current student chairmen of the Student Union of the Magic Academy, there are model gifted students who are about to go to [Gaotalin] for exchanges on behalf of the academy, and there are graduates who serve as senior officers in the Mage Legion...

There was also a girl with a pale face and a thin body.

It's Elena.

Seeing this scene, Julian's heart sank quickly.

"...Finks, is it really necessary to do this?" Julian's tone was no longer tough.

What he was most worried about happened. He didn't expect these guys to have already attacked his students!

It doesn't matter how he is targeted alone, anyway, in the end, he must speak with his strength.

Unless His Excellency the Chief Executive takes action, Julian is not afraid of those idiots of the Senate at all.

However, these guys just shot at their students!
"Julian, if you want to blame, blame you for not being worthy! Your Excellency De Lima left you such a good stage, but you don't want to make progress. For so many years, you have only indulged in your own delusions and have no regard for the empire. Contribution... This is your biggest crime!"

"When did the real exploration of the world and the study of higher-level magic become delusional? Or in this magic-based Saint Rand? Finx, am I confused, or are you giving up? Have you violated Saint Rand's belief?"

"There is no way forward!" Finks suddenly roared.

"Julian, don't deceive yourself, look at the reality clearly, [Legend] is simply a forbidden area that cannot be touched! Perhaps it is a false fantasy at all, and the legends and sanctuaries in those fairy tales simply cannot exist! We Already at the top! We are magic!"

Finx's eyes were red, and his expression was not normal.

Julian sighed inwardly.

Even though he was annoyed at what Finks did, Julian was not incomprehensible about his mentality.

——Anyone who faces the intangible, but objectively existing [Legendary Shackles] that locks all the upward ladders of living beings will fall into self-doubt after years of failures and obstacles...

The former Finks was one of the magicians who were most keen on breaking the [Legendary Shackles] in the Senate, and he was also the one who paid the most in this regard.

However, just four years ago, the Senate's last attempt to forcibly break through the [Legendary Shackles] failed at the cost of the main subject of the experiment, the chief lord, who was seriously injured and dying, and the main auxiliary experimenter, Finks, who was wounded in his soul. end.

Your Excellency the chief archmage has not recovered yet, lived in seclusion, and hurt the soul Finx...

There is no hope of going any further in this life.

Finx, who specializes in the spiritual system, suffered a huge spiritual backlash during the ceremony that was infinitely close to the birth of [Legend]. .

In addition, from the far east came the news that his lover Miles had participated in the internal affairs of other countries and disappeared after failure. Under the double blow, the temperament of Finx, who was originally keen on exploring the truth, changed drastically.

I no longer pursue the truth of the world, I am content with the status quo on the road of magic, and I hold power tightly in my secular life, as if this is the whole world...

Thinking of this, most of Julian's original annoyance dissipated, and instead he began to sympathize with Finks.

"Finks, listen to me, the two consecutive abnormal increases in magic power a few days ago, and the ensuing, large-scale collective spiritual tremors, came to a conclusion after checking the historical materials given by the wood elves. , that is likely to be a phenomenon called [Extraordinary Echo], it is only when an extraordinary creature breaks through to [Legend] and above..."

"Shut up!" Finx covered the magic engraving on his forehead that was starting to glow, with a painful expression.

"That's just a normal magic tide phenomenon, and it's not worth paying attention to, not to mention the wood elves' myths and legends are not reliable at all!"

"You resist the emergence of hope because you can't go any further, right?"

"No, I just don't want to go on with that pointless fantasy!"

"Haven't you heard the rumors from the eastern part of the mainland in recent years? Legendary creatures have appeared, and they are spreading in the eastern part of the mainland!"

"My student died in the east. Do you think I don't know about those things? That's just a rumor created by the Behemoth Kingdom to cover up the chaos in its own country!"

"Although Miles interfered in the civil strife of the Behemoth Kingdom, he deserved whatever consequences would come, but he may still be alive..."

This impeachment and trial of Julian has completely turned into a debate between Julian and Finks.

Under the stage, the few people who were summoned as "witnesses" and criminals, but had no time to be questioned in the future, looked at each other for a few times, and collectively moved to an inconspicuous place in the corner.

However, this does not include Elena.

I saw Elena mustering up her courage, and said to the big figures in front of her who stomped and stomped the entire empire:

"President Julian, Your Excellencies, the appearance of legendary creatures in the eastern part of the mainland is not a rumor, but a real event!"

"Eleena! This is not a topic you should participate in. Go back to the side, and I will solve these problems myself."

Julian knew that the girl was supporting him, but he had to pour cold water on her—if Elena was targeted by someone because of this, it would be too dangerous for her.

"Shut up! You, a sinner who stole the secrets of the empire, dare to lie in front of the elders!"

Among the people who escorted Elena in was that Miss Katerina. At this time, she was the one who purposely yelled at Elena, accusing her of "stealing secrets" in public.

"I'm not, I'm not!"

The young Elena also vaguely knew that if she didn't handle it right now, there might be serious consequences, so she ignored Dean Julian's words and said as loudly as possible:
"My elder brother is in the Kingdom of Bechymos in the east of the mainland. He witnessed the civil strife in the kingdom a few years ago. The legendary creatures are real!

My brother's letter told me that a giant dragon appeared at that time. After the dragon spread its wings, it was bigger than the entire palace!With just one word, everyone present, including many heroes at the hero level, were seriously injured!The civil strife in Bechymos was quickly ended because of the appearance of this giant dragon..."

Elena talked eloquently, and described the coup d'état that took place in [City of Thunder] a few years ago in detail and quickly from the perspective of her brother Yorkson.

Members of the Senate, at first they just had the mentality of watching a farce, but they were gradually attracted by the details in Elena's "story", and couldn't help listening to it.

In fact, Yorkson was not in [Thunder City] at the time, but he knew the people involved in that big event-Rex, so he knew the details very well.

As for the layman watching the fun, the insider watching the doorway, everyone is a senior fourth- and fifth-order transcendent, and they can see the truth revealed in certain details. This is the reason why Elena can attract their attention!
"Ridiculous! It's impossible! There can't be such creatures in this world... I, my Miles, must have died at the hands of that horrible thing!"

Finx has been a bit out of line, obviously he has not recovered from the soul injury caused by that experiment, and this also exposed his true inner thoughts - he believes in the existence of legendary creatures, but not Just willing to accept reality.

Seeing that the situation was about to reverse, Katerina panicked, and quickly stepped forward to grab Elena's arm, dragged her to the ground, and said sharply:

"These are all rumors of traitors, your Excellencies must not believe them!"

Elena and Dean Julian have a good relationship, and she participated in this matter because of the "safety" promised by some big shots. There is absolutely no good fruit to eat later!

Julian must be pulled down and Elena must be charged...

Just when Katerina's heart was spinning rapidly, and she was about to splash dirty water on her face, suddenly——

"Roar!!"

There was a high-pitched neighing of a giant beast outside the city.

At the same time, the huge magic circle hidden underground in the central city of Saint Rand Magic Empire suddenly activated.

"Enemy attack!"

"alert!"

"Where is the mage legion? Where did the mage legion go!"

"The mage group has been transferred by the Senate..."

In the panic in the city, amidst the roar of the dragon outside the city, there was a sentence that no one could hear the man's roar:

"Cousin! Don't touch my sister!"

……

To be continued, change first and then change.

Five, five thousand words! ! !
