The speaker's inflammatory and crazy voice echoed in the huge hall and finally disappeared.
The nobles sitting below did not make a choice immediately and start to take sides. They are not young people who are easily incited and deceived.
They have long passed the age of impulsiveness, and everyone can hear the meaning behind the speaker.
The Speaker's choice is already very clear. He almost obviously wants to choose the side of extraordinary creatures, but this does not mean that everyone must obey the Speaker's choice.
This is the Silver Council, not the speaker's family.
Today, no speaker has the qualifications and prestige to make others blindly follow him.
After a moment of silence, a middle-aged nobleman with a mustache asked:
"I would like to ask, is there no third way? Do we have to bet on one side? Can't we just bet all our chips on one side and continue to be our neutrals?"
His statement was supported by the looks of several nobles, and it was obvious that they also thought so in their hearts.
But some older nobles were not as relaxed as them, and they all shook their heads wordlessly.
"Duke Selmore, I understand your doubts and thoughts. I believe that more than one of you here must have the same thoughts."
The speaker laughed bitterly, his voice full of regret:
"If possible, I would like to do this, but unfortunately, we have already acted as neutrals once."
In the Dark Ages, many nobles who were the predecessors of the Silver Council were a group of neutrals who did not help each other.
"If you still choose neutrality this time, please believe me, the Silver Council will definitely be liquidated after the war. No matter which side wins, they will not let us go."
Traitors are certainly despised, but so are those who claim to be neutral, especially those who stand firm.
"…………"
The middle-aged nobleman with a mustache frowned, but in the end he did not speak and fell into a new round of thinking.
"Does anyone else have questions?"
"I have a question. The certificate of nomination you mentioned... can it really be produced?"
Staring with questioning eyes, the nobleman who spoke out did not quite believe in the petition the speaker just mentioned.
"Although Watch City is now just a city with more symbolic significance, the Watch Society has never given up on protecting and hiding it. Can you really obtain its spatial beacon?"
"You have to think clearly. If you provide a false beacon to an extraordinary creature, the consequences will not be as simple as 'just a misunderstanding.'"
Upon hearing such a question, instead of being angry, the Speaker breathed a sigh of relief, regained his calm temperament and nodded:
"I understand your concerns, but regarding your doubts, I would like to correct you. The Watch City has indeed disappeared for thousands of years, but it still appeared once in the near future!"
"You won't forget what happened at the end of the Star Chaser Competition hosted by Lord Jacelin, right? The Saint appears, and... the arrival of the City in the Sky!"
forget?
Who dares to forget!
That was the first time that the giant beast that had been dormant for many years showed its ferocious fangs. In addition to the extraordinary creatures, the targets of shock were neutrals like them who were not firm in their stance.
"We all knew it was a warning, aimed at people like us."
From that day on, a dangerous knife was placed on the neck of every nobleman who had hidden secrets in his heart.
"In private, how much your families and affiliated families have done, I think you must know better than me."
In these thousands of years, the nobles themselves know best how many unscrupulous deeds they have done in some dark corners.
"We cannot sit back and wait for the Watch to free its hands to attack us."
"It was originally just a means of self-protection! But now, it should not be just a counterattack card."
"As for these specific details, I would like to ask another person to explain them to you..."
His gaze shifted and finally fell on Keynes, who had remained silent. The Speaker nodded slightly:
"Your Excellency Jia Silin, please explain."
Squinting his eyes and shaking his head slowly, Keynes said calmly:
"There's nothing to say. I just made the rigorous preparations that a qualified noble should make."
Do rigorous preparations require secretly recording the spatial landmarks of Overwatch City?
This thing sounds outrageous, but when you think that it was done by the Jia Silin family, it doesn’t seem so outrageous...
"As for its authenticity, you don't have to worry. I can guarantee it with the reputation of the Jia Silin family for more than a thousand years."
After being silenced by Keynes, the speaker's lips moved slightly, but in the end he said nothing more.
He nodded, and the Speaker once again looked at the nobles in front of him and said loudly:
"The time has come to make a decision."
…
…
"Then, under the witness of the covenant - let me raise a glass together!"
The speaker's face glowed red, as if a huge burden had been lifted, and his whole temperament was different.
"For the noble blood!"
No matter what they thought in their hearts, now that the decision had been made, the nobles breathed a sigh of relief and raised their glasses together.
"For the noble blood!!!"
Seeing this scene and the expressions on the faces and eyes of these nobles, Keynes, who was sitting by and did not get up, couldn't help but laugh.
hehe……
crazy.
This is a group of gamblers walking on the edge of death.
The most interesting thing is that they knew they were gambling, but they still chose to continue gambling.
The most important reason for the current situation is their self-confidence.
They believe that even if they lose the bet in the end, although their status among humans will decline, as long as they still control wealth, everything will still be within an acceptable range, and they will still be noble "nobles."
Keynes's chuckle and anomaly attracted the attention of others, who looked at this maverick deviant speechlessly.
Once he was the oldest noble, but now if he disagrees, he is an enemy.
Shaking his head, Keynes hid his laughter and slowly stood up with his cane. He also lifted the wine glass in front of him.
In the eyes of other great nobles who breathed a sigh of relief, he raised his glass:
"For the noble blood——"
However, the remaining half of his words remained unsaid.
[For the noble bloodline to come to an end here!]
…
…
"You guys really disappoint me."
With a sigh, Stargazer felt sorry for the person who made that choice.
"I have given them opportunities, many opportunities, but in the end did I make this choice?"
Turning her head to look at the empty chairs on the round table behind her, she remembered those faces that she had almost forgotten.
"The noble bloodline was completely corrupted in the end..."
