"If I were Emperor Chong, I would disdain to let you people become subjects of Emperor Chong."
Zhou Li crouched on the ground and said calmly in front of Carter Roland, whose eyes were blank, "Vulgar, greedy, shameless, and the most important thing is..."
"madness."
He stood up, glanced at the crowd around him, and said with a sarcastic smile, "Believe it or not? If I kill you all here now, the king will not hold me accountable in any way."
"impossible!"
Carter Roland looked shocked when he came back to his senses, and shouted quickly: "We were ordered by the king! These have nothing to do with us!"
Many nobles reacted immediately and quickly shouted that the leader of this matter was the king. By killing them, the king would be shooting himself in the foot. But what they didn't see was that as the silent Zhou Li smiled gradually, Carter Roland suddenly realized something, and the color gradually drained from his face.
After a while, everyone began to fall silent. They found that Zhou Li looked at them very indifferently. Just like a passerby seeing a dying crucian carp on the beach, it is neither the greed of the hunter nor the compassion of the holy priest, that kind of sight is like...
abyss.
An emotionless disregard.
He didn't care about these lives at all.
Zhou Li clasped his hands behind his back, as if he didn't care about the approaching battle, and said to himself: "How could someone be so stupid?"
"Is there anyone who doesn't understand that the moment the king said these three words "I authorize", the fate of you people has already been decided?"
At first, everyone didn't realize what Zhou Li meant. When they understood the meaning of Zhou Li's words, their pupils suddenly widened, cold sweat dripped on the ground involuntarily, and despair began to spread.
Yes, they have just reacted now.
When they are authorized by the king to fight against the brave, they are destined to become white gloves stained with blood. The only fate for this group of "veteran nobles" is to be thrown into the incinerator.
After this challenge is over, if Zhou Li is brainwashed by the trap of the Just Church, this farmhouse will be taken over by the king's faction for their own use. It will definitely set off a terrifying storm of public opinion among the Brave Guild and the majority of adventurers. After all, no one is stupid, and they cannot be deceived by the so-called excuse of "serving the country and benefiting the people."
This group of people will quickly realize that this challenge involves the participation of the nobles, and the role played by the nobles is definitely not a good person. This led to the fact that once the farmhouse was nationalized, the king would be under tremendous pressure. The parliament, which was once controlled by the king, might even seize this opportunity to impeach the king, thus achieving the purpose of restoring the rights of the parliament.
The king definitely didn't want to see this situation arise, but he also wanted to obtain the farmhouse, a perfect piece of virgin land that was developed. So the question is, how should the king operate so that he can obtain this land without being criticized by the world?
It's very simple, wear white gloves and don't treat the world like a fool.
"Without the king's permission, you wouldn't have the guts to touch the farmhouse. This is something everyone knows."
Zhou Li leaned on the podium, looked at the nobles with ashen faces, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is not stupid, he knows that no matter what he says, you will use his banner to plot my territory. . This is the consensus of the world, and it will be recognized as the truth regardless of whether it happens or not."
"So, how to avoid this truth?"
The gray fog in Zhou Li's eyes gradually spread, and small lines of fog gradually entangled in the hearts of this group of people. This group of nobles who had always upheld elegance had now completely collapsed, completely forgetting that they had always been able to fight Zhou Li. They also have hidden shadow guards who can completely clamp down on Zhou Li before Linghai takes action. They can initiate a call for help, or record peripheral voices and pass them to the outside world. They have countless ways to rescue themselves.
But they had already sunk into the distortion of the gray mist, and their expressions collapsed.
"A king controlled by evil nobles. How do you look when you say these words?"
One sentence hit the hearts of this group of people like a heavy hammer. They fell to their knees in pain, gasping for air.
Carter Rowland's absent-minded eyes gradually turned into a crazy color. He suddenly lowered his head, and his roaring voice was as broken as a broken bellows.
"The controlled king?"
A hoarse voice sounded. He raised his head, trembling hands, his teeth kept chattering, and said in a vicious voice: "We are the scapegoats being controlled!"
"I'll tell you why I suddenly went crazy! How dare I make an enemy of the brave!"
Carter Rowland collapsed, and they suddenly realized that their political sense could not allow them to make such a bad mistake. This extremely obvious use of a borrowed knife to kill someone, but you didn't even notice it? Are you willing to go here to fight against the brave? !
We are controlled by the King! He manipulated us to come here and step into a certain death situation for the expansion of his power! In the end, they will come back to bite us, saying that our greed has controlled the king, and we want to control the Goblin Farmhouse in order to blackmail the king to obtain benefits. In this way, the king can send troops to directly encircle and suppress us, and regain the lost territory in a glorious image. In the end, he can rightfully fabricate this evil purge as his achievement!
Magnum Tariq! You are so vicious!
Everyone raised their heads and looked into each other's eyes. They saw the hatred, anger and despair in each other's eyes. This group of originally elegant nobles were now like wild beasts waiting for revenge, wild and violent.
"What now?"
Zhou Li raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and asked the group of beasts in a natural tone: "Are you still ready to work for the king who has long been ready to purge certain people?"
"My distinguished nobles?"
The last straw that broke the camel's back gently floated on the hearts of the nobles.
"I will surrender to the supreme Black Emperor, and I will become the Black Emperor's most loyal subject!"
The first sound was read in a low voice by Count Carter Rowland. Then he raised his head high, his face full of fanaticism, and shouted this declaration angrily. Then came the second, third, and after a while, a total of nineteen oaths full of resentment and anger appeared in the luxurious hall, and they refused to disperse for a long time.
"I will crown myself."
Zhou Li raised his hand, and the Brave Man's Exclusive gently closed it in his hand. He looked at everyone, his expression became calmer, and his voice was filled with unquestionable majesty, "You guys, stand by."
Chaotic, roaring orders kept ringing out. Zhou Li took a deep look at the group of nobles whose hearts and lungs were burning with anger, then turned around, leaving behind a silhouette as dark as night.
*******************************
"So, is what he said true?"
In the void, Linghai opened his mouth, with an expression of astonishment and disbelief on his pretty face. After a while, she slowly escaped from this shocking drama. She sat on the ground in the void and murmured to the voice.
"Do you want to ask if these nobles are controlled by the king?"
Void's question made Linghai sober up. She nodded repeatedly and asked in confusion: "The Magnum family... has never heard of having the power to control other people's minds."
"them…"
When Void really stared at the group of nobles who were in a state of fanaticism and faithfully carried out Zhou Li's orders to stand by, he suddenly paused. At this moment, Linghai felt a chill from his heart.
"Never."
Void said, never.
"The king never manipulated them, they were never controlled, they never questioned Zhou Li."
They had never escaped from the trap in any of Zhou Li's words.
"The Black Emperor..."
Linghai stared at this group of fanatical nobles in a daze, looking a little dazed.
