The person who presided over this banquet as a host was Lux, who was wearing a bright red robe.
People in Demacia like blue. Whether it is the imperial flag or the crest of each family, blue is often an important background color and color combination.
In contrast, red is rarely used in Demacia - on the one hand, this is because Demacia does not have a good red dye, and on the other hand, because blue and red do not match well.
Especially on occasions like noble banquets.
The clothing of all nobles must be matched with their family crests, and red is not easy to use.
However, today Lux was wearing a red robe and dress, with almost no extra decorations on her body, not even the coat of arms representing the Crown Guard family, which shocked many of the nobles attending the meeting.
Although Lux is now a member of her own clan, this is a banquet in Mithral City. Lux does not wear the decorations of the Crownguard family at all. Isn't this somewhat inconsistent with the demeanor of a noble model?
Or does she have a deeper meaning for doing this on purpose?
Considering that neither Peter nor Ogesha has appeared now, many nobles have begun to think secretly.
Perhaps, this also reflects some of Miss Laxana’s attitude?
Cut off from the Crown Guard family?
Or should we at least superficially separate ourselves from the Crown Guard family?
After seeing Lux dressed like this, many "smart people" started thinking from the perspective of the nobles, trying to figure out what Lux was going to do.
But it was very obvious that they were destined to miss the real purpose of Lux's trip.
Finally, when the bells of Mithril City rang, all the guests were ready, and the banquet was about to officially begin, Lux finally came to the center of the banquet hall with a smile.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
He had sang Double Yellow with Lux and helped Lux stabilize the food prices in Mithril City, so he knew very well that this aunt had no good feelings for the branches of the Crownguard family.
Although he knew that Lux's current surname was still Crownguard and that he was a member of the Crownguard family, Mits seemed to think that there were always people in the tribe who cared about food rather than fighting, and insisted on relying on their clan identity to get away with it, or even point fingers. , such a flamboyant behavior will cause trouble sooner or later!
This time he attended the banquet and did not recommend any "young talents". He fully wanted to get together and talk with his tribe. However, he saw that Lux had contacted Polgar and seemed to be launching a military campaign. There was a coup.
How is this possible?
Mithril City is the Mithril City of the Crownguard family, not your Laxana family's Mithril City!
Seeing that they had cooperated in the past and had a good relationship with each other, Mitzi felt that he needed to stand up and talk. It would be best to reduce the big issue to a trivial matter so as not to cause any actual losses.
Unfortunately, Lux was already prepared. After Mits took the initiative to speak, she immediately smiled.
"Mr. Mitzi Crownguard, I greatly respect your contribution to Mithril City in stabilizing food prices in the past." Lux, "But, regarding this banquet, I think you may have some misunderstandings about me. .”
"..."
Mits' heart sank.
"In other words, everyone here has some misunderstandings about me." Lux raised her voice, "As a climber, I have a long life, and I don't need a political marriage to provide me with any help."
"This time I came to Mithril City, the purpose from the beginning was to bring everyone together."
"It's not to hold a blind date party, but to launch a divine judgment!"
Judgment? !
When Lux said these words, all the nobles present were in an uproar.
Is this some kind of fucking joke from hell?
Judgment?
Who are you to judge?
What guilt do we have that deserves to be judged?
Everyone respects you as a talker in the North because you can indeed make money.
However, that does not mean that you have become the Northern Emperor with the power of life and death!
Moreover, even the most popular Emperor of Demacia, Jarvan IV, could not stand in front of hundreds of nobles and open his mouth to judge him!
The Crown Guard affiliates present did not hide their disdain for Lux's words. Even though the Second Northern Army had completely blocked the banquet hall and they themselves had become prisoners, they still did not believe that Lux would conduct any trial. .
Judgment?
How can it be!
……………………
Unfortunately, judgment is really possible and feasible.
Under everyone's gaze, Lux took out the "Joint Criminal Arrest Agreement" signed by Forsbarrow and various places in the North.
This agreement was signed when the Demon Searchers started their activities again. The northern lords were worried that Jarvan IV would do something wrong and use the Demon Searchers to blame the Northern nobles, so they jointly signed this agreement with Forsbarrow. agreement.
The main content of the agreement is very simple. Specifically, the wanted criminals in the areas that have signed the agreement can be entrusted to be arrested by the silent people of Forsbarrow.
The royal family always wants to use your blue-robed hyenas to put pressure on you. We northerners have our own ways.
Now, Lux took out the agreement and announced on the spot that most of the nobles present would be arrested in accordance with the agreement.
"Isn't this nonsense?" After hearing what Lax said, someone finally couldn't care less about their superficial demeanor and cursed loudly, "When did we become wanted criminals? Who will arrest us? Miss Laxana, you are You’ve been single for too long, have you gone crazy holding in your gains and losses?”
Lux glanced coldly at the reckless guy, and then presented her second piece of information.
Complaints and investigation reports, a whole box.
The plaintiffs, without exception, are civilians who once lived in various parts of the North and later moved to Forsbarrow.
The reasons why these plaintiffs sued the nobles can be said to be varied, ranging from breach of contract to personal injury.
Lux took out the complaints and investigation reports one after another, and one noble after another began to name them.
At the beginning, the nobles who were named were very disdainful. Some of them didn't even realize who the mud-legged people who gave them full names were.
But as one person after another was taken away for investigation, the remaining nobles finally fell into a long silence out of fear.
As nobles, in their eyes, this was Lux's fault.
When can Demacia just rely on the accusations of a few idiots to directly take down the nobles?
Even if the report given by Lux was very detailed, and even if they had never concealed their actions in the past, they never thought there was anything wrong with them.
When leaving the farmland, isn't this an honor for them to sleep with a few farm girls?
What's the problem if some people refuse to pay the tenant rent and ask their servants to suffer for them?
If a servant tramples a flower in the garden and cannot pay for it, what is wrong with hanging him and beating him?
What happened to the person who claimed to be a soldier but could not provide any evidence and confiscated his hard-earned pension?
…
…
One by one, one by one, it may be enough to cause the death of a family to a commoner, but in the eyes of the nobles, it is not a big deal at all!
How can these trivial matters be used as charges against the noble lord? Isn’t that the most ridiculous thing in the world?
However, Laxana Crownguard, once known as a model of nobility, was now standing in the banquet hall, reading out these "crimes" seriously, and then letting those who didn't know when they hooked up with her The soldiers took the man into custody.
And because there were many "young talents" at the banquet, when those who brought them to the banquet were detained, some of these young talents rose up to resist and were detained together; others rebelled on the spot, and even Well done for taking the initiative to carry Lux.
Unfortunately, no matter what they said or did, Lux, who had experienced the incident between Dili and Gaokan, showed no expression, and even her voice did not waver. She just continued to read the complaint and investigation report in her hand.
There are fewer and fewer people in the banquet hall.
By the time Lux finished reading all the materials, the number of people in the huge banquet hall was less than a quarter of the number at the beginning of the banquet.
When Lux finally put down the last report and raised her head to look around, no one dared to look at her.
The remaining nobles may not all be clean, and the nobles who were taken away may not be completely innocent.
But there should be no problem with the approximate proportions.
"The world says that I am a model of nobility, and I also believe that being a model of nobility can make Demacia great again." Facing the remaining quarter of the nobles, Lux spoke again, "But unfortunately, from now on, The paragon of nobility means nothing.”
"You can't say that!" Someone in the crowd stood up angrily, "You were once the person I admired most. You changed Forsbyro. As long as nobles are models of nobles, then Demacia will definitely become a model again. great!"
This is a young man, and judging by his appearance, he should be considered a "young talent".
"As long as the nobles are paragons of nobles, then Demacia will be truly great?" Lux smiled and looked at the other party's short golden hair and the somewhat old-fashioned dress on her body, and gently shook her head, "Forsbyro The prosperity has nothing to do with the aristocratic model. I can tell you that Fosbairo’s prosperity today depends on the common people who wrote complaints.”
"If they weren't a paragon of nobles, they wouldn't be given the power to accuse the nobles!" The other party said subconsciously, "Isn't this the meaning of the existence of a paragon of nobles?"
"If I am really a paragon of nobility, then I will not accept their accusations." Looking at the other party's natural expression, Lux suddenly remembered
"According to aristocratic etiquette, I should not accept complaints from common people against relatives of the Crown Guard family. That is very disrespectful."
The young man's eyes widened.
Although he is a young talent who can be brought to banquets, it seems that he does not have the leisure time to study the increasingly complicated aristocratic etiquette of Demacia - he may have a natural kindness and sense of justice, but for Demacia , but do not understand the nobles and common people.
"Instead of taking it for granted that nobles should be arbiters and rulers, we should think about whether civilians would do better if they also accepted the education of nobles." Lux looked at the dull young man and shook his head with a smile. He shook his head and said, "Okay, the appetizers before today's banquet are finally over. Next, we should probably try the main meal."
The remaining quarter of the nobles wanted to leave, but looking at Lux who waved for people to serve food, they did not have the guts to leave directly.
Soon, the table was brought up, and the dinner in Lux's mouth was also listed on the table.
Oatmeal porridge, dried salted fish, mixed cheese, unknown berries, barbecue without seasoning...
For commoners, these were undoubtedly a decent meal, but for most of the nobles present, they were unpalatable.
Lark sat on the main seat without any care and began to feast.
Then, other people finally took their seats, holding their noses and eating hard, or showing off with relish.
