Vol 2 Chapter 633: Noble meeting

After losing all of his companions, Ganatika is undoubtedly extremely anxious. There is no food assistance. The poor who joined the mutual aid association are still hungry, although the gold coins Pandora received from punk have not been spent yet. But... no matter how much money they have, the nobles will not sell the few grains.
Therefore, the situation of the Mutual Aid Association is simply distressed, but in fact, the nobles of the Scott Empire are also very anxious at this time, and even the mood of the several great nobles is no longer anxious to describe them. They are almost crazy.
And the reason why the great nobles are anxious is definitely not the fact that a large number of poor people are about to starve to death. There is only one thing they are anxious and even afraid of, and that is... a piece of gray crystal is missing!
In Scott's palace, five gorgeously-dressed nobles sat together, while the nominal "emperor" of this country sat on his throne in a daze, and the entire palace appeared under the cover of night. Quietly, the paintings in the gorgeous hall seem to be dumb because of this silence...
"What's wrong... Say it! We... what should we do"!
The first to make a sound is of course the emperor who is on the throne, but at this time the "His Majesty the Emperor" has long lost the usual majesty and calmness. He can only hear his voice trembling violently. , The fear contained in it echoed endlessly in the empty hall.
It is a pity that the silence was not broken by the emperor’s speech. The five great nobles here still bowed their heads and said nothing. Among these great nobles, there are also official-level professionals who have lived for hundreds of years, but at this moment. , They still don't know what to answer.
Seeing this scene, the godless emperor could not help but limp on the throne, his mouth was only muttering like broken thoughts, fear made the voice of the nominally supreme ruler of the Scott Empire. hoarse:
"It's over... Haha... It's all over! The "Melting Fire Ripper" specifically explained before leaving that there must be no mistakes in the gray crystal, but...but what should I do now? A total of ten gray crystals are missing. In a few years, the "Melting Fire Ripper" will return, and then we will all be over, and the anger of the red dragon will burn us to ashes."...
The emperor’s words are full of despair, and the facts he tells are indeed worthy of despair for anyone in the Scott Empire. Everyone knows that Aymoda-Yanclaw is an unreasonable, tyrannical and cruel evil dragon. The "melting fire tearer" will still slaughter the city for fun for no reason. Now... the emperor and a group of nobles can hardly imagine what the angry red dragon would do.
And facing an evil dragon, every nobleman deeply understands that the words and rhetoric they are usually proud of are all a bunch of jokes. How should they argue against Emoda-Yanclaw? Said that he had tried his best to protect, but the loss of the gray crystal was force majeure?
Or that he didn't have the ability to protect such a precious legendary creation, and asking for the gray crystal to be placed in the densely populated aristocratic manor is itself a tough one?
It's a pity that the "melting fire tearer" never knows what "reasonable" is, and it is impossible to think about the excuses of a group of "ants". It will only use absolute power to crush all things that make it uncomfortable!
"I knew it, I knew it! Since the mad dragon of "Melting Fire Ripper" took out those few crystals, and then asked what "must be placed in densely populated areas", "not allow any spellcaster or The master-class powerhouse approached", and finally said, "I want to leave Scott's kingdom", "Cannot receive any contact", "I won't be able to come back in five years"............ This is the hell! Those crystals obviously have big problems. Now that there is a great famine, how can it not attract others to investigate?"
A relatively young nobleman finally couldn't bear such an atmosphere of fear and depression. He stood up abruptly and complained loudly about the source of everything and what Aimoda-Yanclaw had done.
Anyway, since "the gray crystal disappeared and Aimoda still did not show up", the nobles present knew that the "five-year retreat" that the red dragon said was true and true. Since the legendary red dragon cannot be in Keeping this country under surveillance anytime and anywhere, then these nobles' complaints about Aymoda will become very polite.
Especially at the moment when the gray crystal was lost and Aimoda was about to return, the nobles who were on the verge of collapse were about to yell at the mentality of smashing the broken jar!
But... no matter how terrible the facts are about to come, no one will want to die, especially these luxurious nobles, who have not yet enjoyed the good life they can get by squeezing the poor, even if they complain about themselves" It's dead, it's all over", but in fact, no aristocrat, including the emperor, would never want to die, otherwise they would not gather here for discussion.
After the grievances were over and the abuse was over, and the great nobles needed to express a bit of grievances and fears when the "Melting Fire Ripper" was not there, the real discussion about "survival" finally began............
The first one to stand up and speak was an old noble with a firm complexion. He did not complain like the young noble, but glanced at everyone slowly, and then said solemnly in a calm and steady tone:
"My friends~EbookFREE.me~ There is no doubt... the continuation of our respective families, and even the survival of the Scottish kingdom have reached a critical point, because just one day ago, the "Melting Fire Ripper" Before I left, I was urged to protect it. The hidden gray crystal lost a piece. We all know the cruelty and tyranny of the evil legendary red dragon. If nothing happens...I want to sit there. You can predict your own destiny."
The old nobleman told the facts in an unhurried voice. Of course, the sad facts are still sad no matter who is said by anyone's mouth, but... when the old nobleman talked about it, this sadness It actually got a little "tragic" taste.
Sad things often cause chaos, but "tragic" things can often calm people's hearts.
What the old nobles need now is obviously this "tragic" effect. After seeing the other nobles here, including the depressed emperor, finally pulling out their thoughts from despair and fear and listening to their own words, the old talent with cloudy eyes but firm tone continues Speaking of the "countermeasures" I thought.
"We are nobles with noble blood! We can't be like those foolish people. No matter what difficulties we face, what we should do now is not to complain about ourselves here, but..."
