Chapter 227 The split of the floating city(1/2)

Pirino Aiden struggled to get up.

When he saw where he was and the cold eyes around him, his body couldn't help but tremble.

These eyes come from people who once flattered and pleased me, but now they are full of disgust and hatred, completely different from before, as if they were looking at a disgusting mouse crossing the street without any pity.

The dignity accumulated over decades and the reputation of aristocratic thousands of years disappeared overnight and was trampled on by others.

This made Pirino, who had been in power for a long time, extremely embarrassed and wanted to get into the ground.

"Pirino Aiden."

Ancivodaus's voice sounded, his tone was plain, and he could not hear any emotional ups and downs, but it made Pirino tremble all over.

The strength that had just stood up seemed to have been pulled out, and suddenly collapsed on the ground, shouting: "His Speaker..."

Ancivodaus had no expression on his face.

"You have committed three major crimes."

"First, believe in the evil god. This is the most unforgivable crime for the empire and even the entire Alan's world. This alone is enough to sentence you to death."

"Secondly, the number of innocent civilians cannot be counted. After investigation, at least 1,200 people were found."

"Third, the intention is to create a larger scale of plague and attempted killing."

Every time a charge was announced, Pirino's head was lowered, and he finally crawled on the ground, his heart was ashamed.

"You are unforgivable." Ancivodaus continued: "The Supreme Council has made a decision to give me the authority to judge you."

"Here, in the name of Vijenesse, I, Ancivodaus, will you be sentenced to death."

"And the throne of the Earl of Atlank was taken back, and the Atlank was placed under the jurisdiction of the Empire. All land, assets, companies, and cash in the territory were handed over to the Empire, the aristocratic status of the Aiden family was revoked, and the surname of the Aiden family was erased."

“Effective today.”

Ancivodaus read out one sentence after another.

At the beginning, Pirino did not react much, and he knew he would die. But when he heard that he would cancel the Earl of Atecran, reclaim the territory, and erase the family surname, he was already crying bitterly, and the regret in his heart was like countless poisonous insects biting wildly, almost fainting.

He did not sacrifice the entire family, and secretly sent away several direct descendants as seeds and moved them to a hidden place as a backup plan.

In case of failure, as long as you conceal it properly, future generations can still inherit the title of earl and fief.

This kind of luck mentality has allowed him to support it until now.

But it is no longer possible.

The ancient nobles who have been passed down from the beginning of the empire will no longer exist.

Pirino burst into tears, and the miserable crying rang throughout Ruin Square. Even though people knew that he had a cause for his sins and was not to be cherished, some people still couldn't bear it when they saw a lord who had once been high and ended up like this.

Especially the other nobles in Modu, who had had friendship with Pirino in the past, felt a sense of crisis of losing their lips and cold teeth.

The nobles in Modu have lost one family, how many years can their own family last?

However, they just thought about it and would never dare to speak up to defend Pirino Aiden. This is undoubtedly a way to die, and it is too late to draw a clear line.

At this time, the legendary middle-level holy swordsman standing under the high platform slowly walked up.

The duties of the Justice Church in the Empire are equivalent to those of law enforcement officers.

Generally speaking, the Judgment Council is presided over by the Holy Swordsmen. In the eyes of the people of the Empire, the Justice Church is also called the Justice Court. Each Saint Swordsman is both a judge and an executioner.

The judgment has ended, and it is time for Saint Sword to come on stage.

Ancivodaus was a holy soul wizard, so of course he could not execute prisoners in full view of everyone. This not only defiled the hands of the holy soul wizard and violated the laws of the empire.

As the highest-ranking holy swordsman on the field, he is obliged to serve Master Anxi.

He walked to Pirino and drew out the silver sword.

"Hines, wait."

Suddenly someone asked to stop him, everyone was shocked and found that the person who spoke was Master Anxi himself who had just been sentenced.

"Yes, Lord Speaker." The legendary Saint Swordsman named Hines was also very surprised, but he bowed and retreated to the side.

The people in the square whispered and could not guess Master Anxi's intentions.

Only Renn's heart tightened.

He knew that the most critical thing was coming.

Ancivodaus stood up, and instead of looking at Pirino, he looked at the platform, and then swept through the wizards under the platform.

The eyes of the Holy Soul Wizard made many wizards look pale and they look like they have a ghost in their hearts.

Renn noticed that a large number of wizards were even trembling and did not dare to face Ancivodaus, and lowered their heads like ostrichs.

Almost all these people are wizards who are hostile to themselves on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony.

Ancivodaus let out a faint hum and said, "I have sentenced the charges committed by Pirino, but he also did something else in secret."

"According to his confession, he and all the lords have been there for more than twenty years..." Speaking of this, Ansivodaus looked down at the high platform, the old nobleman of Modu headed by Marquis of Jiliu.

They were sweating coldly and shrank, as if they were about to escape on the spot.

"He and all the lords contributed to establishing another floating city in the Shield Island area of ​​the New World, is that true?" Ancivodaus's words were like a rock that broke the sky, throwing a huge rock on the sea, causing huge waves.

There was an uproar in the square.

"Goddess!" someone shouted in surprise.

Some people looked disbelief and shook their heads and sighed: "Another floating city is built, or in the New World, are they crazy?"

Rennes also found it incredible.

Then when I looked back, the various behaviors and concealed plans of the Modu nobles seemed to have reasonable explanations.

First of all, there is a problem of funding. The lord of Modu is as rich as a country, but he can't even get a cash compensation of one million gold shields because they all used the money to build a floating city.

The money purchased a large amount of alchemy materials and transported them out of the port.

On that deserted island, it was sent to Shield Island in the New World through a portal. The large boxes carried by workers were filled with alchemy materials, which was also a proof.

Master Lu Yin, a legendary wizard who does not seek fame and fortune, inexplicably withdrew from Vizelan, but did not want to be an enemy of Master Anxi, and also wanted to build a floating city.

The imperial law does not stipulate that only the Holy Soul Wizard can build a floating city.

This is not illegal.

Moreover, the Modu nobles chose to build the floating city in the new continent and would not threaten the empire. Therefore, Master Anxi did not add this crime when he tried Pirino.

But there is a problem: building a floating city requires manpower. Even after it is completed, it is impossible to have only a floating city without wizards, and the number of wizards required is not low.

So, where did this new floating city wizard come from?

The answer is self-evident.

With the power of the Modu nobles alone, there are not enough money, so many wizards must cooperate with them. These wizards cannot take into account both, and must withdraw from the Vailan Floating City.

This is undoubtedly weakening the power of the Villeland Floating City.

Or, this is betrayal!

No matter how kind and generous Ancivodaus is, he will not allow such a thing to happen.

"The wizard who participated in the construction of the new floating city stood up by himself." Ancivodaus said indifferently, "I will only give you one chance."

Although he did not use powerful spells to intimidate, the reputation of the Holy Soul Wizard still made everyone in the audience tremble.

Especially those participants.

Some wizards showed hesitation and looked at each other. In the end, someone gritted their teeth and took the lead in walking out of the crowd.

With the first one, there is the second one, the third one...

"Kelvin!"

"Killie, you actually betrayed the Floating City!"

"Meblin, I misread you."

"Why? Randoff, why do you do this?"

Many wizards couldn't help but yell at the angrily and accused them, but more and more wizards came forward to admit them, and soon more than one hundred were, which made people feel cold. They found that the most friends they knew had more or less chose to betray them, and they couldn't scold them at all, and they were both panicked and powerless.

One minute later, there were 150 wizards who left the list.

This is one-third of the power of the Villeland Floating City, and there are many members of the Wizard Group!

And, it has not stopped yet.

A wizard who stood in front and had a very high status also joined them. His actions shocked everyone.

"His Excellency Valega!"

Many people couldn't help calling out his name because he was a legendary wizard.

Valega's expression was very firm and not afraid. He was not alone. Three more wizards immediately stood beside him, all of them were legends, and one of them was even a middle-level legend!

Ancivodaus said nothing while many wizards were departing.

After the four legendary wizards stood up, he looked at the platform again. Obviously, there were wizards who betrayed the floating city on the platform.
To be continued...
