Chapter 227: Split of Floating City

　　Pirino Aiden struggled to get up.
　　 When he saw where he was and the cold eyes around him, his body couldn't help shaking.
　　 These gazes come from people who once flattered themselves, but now they are full of disgust and hatred. They are completely different from before, as if they are looking at a disgusting mouse crossing the street without the slightest pity.
　　 The dignity accumulated over decades, the noble reputation of thousands of years, disappeared overnight and was left to be trampled on.
　　 This makes Pirino extremely embarrassed, who has been at the top for a long time, and he wants to get into the ground.
　　 "Pirino Aiden."
　　 Anci Verdous's voice sounded, his tone was very flat, 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 taken away, and suddenly fell to the ground again, and cried out aloud: "Your Excellency the Speaker..."
　　 Anci Verdous was expressionless.
　　 "You committed three major crimes."
　　 "First, believe in the evil god. This is the most unforgivable crime in the empire and the entire Ellenus world. This alone is enough to sentence you to death."
　　 "Secondly, innocent civilians were killed. It is impossible to count the number of people. At least 1,200 people have been investigated."
　　 "Third, the intention is to create a larger scale of plague and attempted killing."
　　 Every time a crime is announced, Pirino's head is lowered, and he finally squats on the ground, his heart is ashamed.
　　 "You are unforgivable." Anse Waldos continued: "The Supreme Council has made a decision to authorize me to put you on trial."
　　 "Here, in the name of Weijie Strei, I, Anse Verdous, sentence you to death."
"And deprive the Earl of Atlanc of the position, take back the Atlanc and put it under the jurisdiction of the empire. All the land, assets, companies, and cash under the name of the Aiden family in the territory shall be turned over to the empire, and the nobles of the Aiden family shall be revoked Status, erase the Aiden family's surname."
　　 "Effective today."
　　 Ansivdaus read out a verdict.
　　 At the beginning, Pirino hadn't reacted much, he knew he was going to die. But after hearing that, the Earl of Atclan was revoked, the territory was recovered, and the family name was erased. He was crying bitterly, and his regret was like countless poisonous insects biting wildly and almost fainted.
　　 He didn't sacrifice the whole family, secretly sent away a few direct descendants as seeds, and moved them to a hidden place as a follow-up.
　　 In case of failure, as long as you cover up properly, future generations can inherit the title and fief of earl.
　　 This kind of fluke mentality has allowed him to sustain him till now.
　　 However, it is no longer possible.
　　 The ancient aristocracy passed down since the birth of the empire has ceased to exist.
Pirino burst into tears, and the miserable cries resounded throughout Luin Square. Even if people knew that he had a cause for his sins and that his death was not a pity, some people still thought about it when they saw a lord who was once aloof. Can't bear it.
　　 Especially the other aristocrats in Modu, who had friendship with Pilino in the past, had a sense of crisis of death and chill.
　　 The nobles in Modu have one less family, how many years can their family support?
　　 However, they just thought about it, and never dared to speak for Pirino Aiden. This is undoubtedly a dead end, and it is too late to draw the line.
　　 At this time, the legendary mid-level holy swordsman standing under the high platform slowly walked up.
　　 The duty of the Church of Justice in the Empire is equivalent to that of law enforcement.
　　 Under normal circumstances, the trial will be presided over by the holy swordsman. In the eyes of the people of the empire, the Church of Justice is also called the court of justice. Every holy swordsman is both a judge and an executioner.
　　The trial is over, it's time for the Saint Sword to play.
　　Ansi Vados is a holy soul wizard, and of course he cannot execute prisoners in full view. This not only stains the hands of the holy soul wizard, but also violates the laws of the empire.
　　As the highest-ranking holy swordsman present, he is obligated to serve Master Anxi.
　　He walked up to Pirrino and drew the silver sword.
　　 "Hines, wait a minute."
　　 Suddenly someone spoke to stop him, everyone was shocked, and found that it was Master Anxi who had just pronounced the sentence.
　　 "Yes, Lord Speaker." The legendary holy swordsman named Hines was also surprised, but he bowed and bowed, and then retreated to the side.
　　 The people on the square whispered to each other, unable to guess Master Anxi’s intentions.
　　 Only Ren's heart was tight.
　　 He knew that the most crucial thing was coming.
　　 Ansivdaus stood up. Instead of looking at Pirino, he glanced at the high platform, and then swept over the wizards under the high platform.
　　The eyes of the holy spirit wizard made many wizards pale, and they seemed to have ghosts in their hearts.
　　 Ren noticed that many wizards were shivering, afraid to face Anse Verdaus, lowering their heads like an ostrich.
　　 These people were almost all wizards who were hostile to themselves on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony.
　　Ansivdaus let out an inaudible hum, and then said, "I have been sentenced for the crime committed by Pirino, but he also did other things secretly."
　　 "According to his confession, in the past twenty years, he and the lords..." At this point, Anse Verdous looked at the bottom of the high platform, the old Modu nobles headed by the Marquis of Gilou.
　　 One by one they were sweating coldly, flinching, as if they were going to flee on the spot.
　　 "He and the lords funded the establishment of another floating city in the New World Shield Island area, isn't it?" Anse Waldos' words were astonishing, and a huge rock was thrown on the sea, causing a huge wave.
　　 There was an uproar in the square.
　　 "Goddess!" someone exclaimed.
　　 There were also people who looked in disbelief, shaking their heads and sighing: "To build another floating city, or in the new world, are they crazy?"
　　 Renn also found it incredible.
　　 Then I thought about it, the various actions and covert plans of the Modu nobles seemed to have reasonable explanations.
　　 First of all, it is the question of funds. Lord Mordu is so rich that he can't even get the cash compensation of 1 million gold shields, because they all took the money to build the floating city.
　　 The money purchased a large amount of alchemical materials and shipped them out of the port.
　　 Passed a portal on that deserted island and sent it to Shield Island in the New World. The large boxes carried by the workers were filled with alchemical materials, which is also a proof.
　　A legendary wizard like Master Luin who does not seek fame or fortune, inexplicably withdraws from Wezeland, but does not want to be an enemy of Master Anxi, but also to build a floating city.
　　 There is no provision in the laws of the empire. 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 world, which would not threaten the empire. Therefore, Master Anxi did not add this charge when he tried Pirino.
　　 But there is a problem. The establishment of 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 does this new floating city wizard come from?
　　 The answer is self-evident.
　　 Only relying on the power of the Mordu nobles, there is not enough money. There must be many wizards to cooperate with them. These wizards cannot take care of both sides, and they will inevitably withdraw from the Wezeland Floating City.
　　 This is undoubtedly weakening the power of Wezeland Floating City.
　　 In other words, this is betrayal!
　　 No matter how kind and magnanimous Ansivdaus's character is, it will not allow this to happen.
　　 "The wizard who participated in the construction of the new floating city, stand up by yourself." Anse Waldos said indifferently, "I only give you one chance."
　　 Although he did not use powerful spells to deter, the reputation of the Holy Soul Wizard still made everyone in the audience tremble.
　　 Especially those participants.
　　Some wizards looked hesitant and looked at each other. In the end, someone gritted their teeth and took the lead out of the crowd.
　　 With the first one, there is a second, and the third...
　　 "Kelvin!"
　　 "Geely, you also betrayed the floating city!"
　　 "Mayblin, I misunderstood you."
　　 "Why? Randev, why are you doing this?"
　　Many wizards couldn't help shouting and accusing them. However, more and more wizards came forward to admit, and soon exceeded one hundred, which made people feel chilling. They found that the best friends they knew, more or less, had chosen to betray, they couldn't scold them at all, and they were panicked and powerless.
　　 One minute later, there were one hundred and fifty wizards in the queue.
　　 This is one-third of the power of Wezeland Floating City, and there are many members of the wizarding group!
　　 And, it hasn't stopped yet.
　　 A wizard who stood in the front and had a high status also joined them. His actions shocked everyone.
　　 "Lord Valega!"
　　 Many people can't help but call his name because he is a legendary wizard.
　　 Valega's expression was firm and he was not afraid. He was not alone, and immediately three wizards stood beside him, all legendary, and even one of them was a legendary mid-level!
　　 During the process of the many wizards, Anse Verdaus said nothing.
　　 After the four legendary wizards came forward, he looked at the high platform again. Obviously, there were also wizards who had betrayed the floating city on the high platform.
　　 Seeing this scene, the people on the square are like an ice cellar.
　　 The sun above the head is still warm, the breeze is gentle, and the floating city is like spring all year round, but at this moment, everyone feels like they are standing in a cold and windy ice valley.
　　 Under the gaze of everyone, a speaker slowly got up.
　　 is Speaker Modera.
　　Ansivdaus' eyes finally changed, but he was not overly surprised, nor did he show anger, but rather relieved.
　　 The other three speakers all changed color.
　　The youngest Kaidejia couldn't help it, and asked in a deep voice: "President Modera, why?"
　　 Modra did not respond.
　　 Cleos and Ronnie, the two speakers, their faces seemed calmer, but in fact they clenched their hands unconsciously, showing ups and downs.
　　 "Mudra, I need an explanation." Anse Verdous said softly.
　　 has long black hair, but the corners of his eyes can't hide the crow's feet, his skin is dull, and the dusky Modra finally broke his silence: "The Speaker, I can only live for another ten years at most."
　　 Hearing this sentence, many people were surprised at first, and then sighed.
　　Because of the curse of blood soul, ordinary people can hardly live beyond seventy years old; to become transcendents, one can cultivate to strengthen the soul, resist curses, and prolong lifespan, but it is still difficult for transcendents below the legend to live beyond a hundred years old.
　　Pirino throws at the Lord of the Necropolis, precisely because he failed to be promoted to Legend and his life span is about to end, so he made a crazy move.
　　Promoted to Legend, can live to at least three hundred years old.
　　 Every time a legendary transcendent is promoted to a rank, his life span can be increased by another three hundred years, reaching the legendary high rank, and it is not a problem to live to 900 years old.
　　 Coupled with some life-prolonging treasures, potions or spells, the legendary high-level can live up to about a thousand years!
　　 But this has reached the limit of the legend.
　　If you want to live longer, the best way is naturally to advance to the Holy Soul.
No one knows how long the holy soul can live. So far, the longest record of human life span is Master Ogulvi, known as the "first wizard". His age is longer than the history of the empire, more than two thousand five hundred. Years, it can be called a living fossil.
　　 But it is too difficult to promote the Holy Soul.
　　 At this time, people remembered that Speaker Modera was actually contemporaries with Master Anxi. They were similar in age, only less than twenty years old.
　　 The Great Speaker has been promoted to the Holy Soul for nearly a thousand years, and Speaker Modera is still a legendary high-level.
　　 She came from a noble family in Modu, but that family died out long before she entered the six-member council. Such a long time made her the speaker of the floating city second only to Master Anxi.
　　 Under the holy soul are all mortals.
　　 Such a long time, she has come to the end of the legendary life.
Modera's expression was haggard, no longer the same majesty, but the voice was still cold, pointing to Pirinno on the ground, and said: "I am different from his pursuit. I don't want to be a dirty and disgusting lich, advanced holy soul. Is my only hope."
　　 "My talent potential has been exhausted, and it is impossible to succeed by myself."
　　 "So, I need to master a floating city, and use the huge energy of Eola's core to hold a soul-changing ritual to advance me to the holy soul."
　　 When many people heard this, they were all in their hearts.
　　 The core of Eola is one of the greatest magical creations in the world of Ellenus. It is rumored to have endless energy and many incredible functions. Its power is no less than an artifact!
　　 But Anse Verdous was unmoved.
　　 He shook his head and said: "Iola's core can indeed play a role in assisting the Holy Soul Ceremony~EbookFREE.me~ But the key to the promotion of the Holy Soul is not in it. It can only increase the success rate by a little at most."
　　 "Even if it is a one percent success rate, I will fight for it." Modra said firmly.
　　 Anci Verdous was silent for a few breaths, looking regretful.
　　If he can, of course he is willing to lend the Eola core of Wezeland Floating City to Modra for use, but this is impossible.
　　 The core of Eola is the core of the floating city, and mastering it controls the floating city.
　　Extracting its energy to perform a sacred soul ceremony, the floating city loses its energy source and will inevitably crash; even if the floating city falls temporarily, the risk is too great.
　　 Not to mention, the core of Eola is soul-bound.
　　Once possessed, unless the killed soul dies, it cannot be taken away or extracted.
　　 Modra borrowed the core of Eola. If she succeeds in upgrading to the Holy Soul, will she return control of the floating city?
　　 This is an unsolvable problem.
　　 Even if it was a thousand years of friendship, Anse Verdous would not trust her.
　　 No one would be so generous.
　　 Modra's only way out is to have her own Eola core. She has her own reasons for betraying the floating city, but Anse Vodaus is not satisfied with this answer.
　　 Only with Modra's fame and ability, it is impossible to drive so many wizards away.
　　 Not every wizard faces the dilemma of the end of life.
　　 Anse Verdas looked at the wizards who stood out from the platform and asked, "What about you? What is it for?"
