Chapter 632 The enemy's turn(1/2)

After the Jin Qiangwei attack, a few days later, the academy seemed to be quieter. However, the ordinary students were different. Suddenly, the alarm was issued, and nothing happened (although the guards suffered casualties, how many students would care about it) and it ended, so they had more topics of conversation.

This is different for those who understand Jin Qiangwei - those who understand Qiangwei Division. They are silent both inside and outside the academy.

However, this can only intimidate most people, and at least one person. She does not have as proud power as Jin Qiangwei, but has "power" to make her dare to challenge anyone's "power".

On this day, Edward was called over by the "Xian Lao Conference".

Edward was called to the multi-functional hall operated in the city, which can not only be used to watch dramas and hold concerts, but also to hold symposiums and meetings. Now, the surrounding audience seats are seated with more than 70 "commissioners", and Edward stands alone on the stage as if he is being tried.

The so-called "commissioned members" are members of the "Xian Lao Conference" representing forty-eight countries around the world. The Xian Lao Conference is not only the superior agency of the night meeting executive department, but also the college operation consultant formally recognized by the Magicians Association. They do not have any great rights. The right to appoint the college president is in the hands of the British government that controls the budget, and the right to choose professors and decide on teaching plans is in the scope of college autonomy.

However, this does not mean that their intentions can be ignored. Without the assistance of the committee members, talents from all over the country cannot be gathered in the UK. For the future survival of the college, their support is indispensable.

Britain dared not look down on them, and Edward dared not make them feel unhappy, and now he couldn't help feeling his throat dry.

The division band played loud wind music - this is the British proud smart division. All of them use smart dolls as their main combat power, with a total number of human-machines exceeding 36,000, making it the strongest army in the empire.

At this time, they came not only with bands, but also with their elites inside and outside the hall. They not only could indeed protect the safety of the "commissioners", but also would leave Edward nowhere to escape.

Of course, as long as Edward does not do anything out of the ordinary, their main task is to protect, including Edward's safety.

As the music started, the figure of a commander appeared on the top of the audience. It was a beautiful woman. Although she was over thirty years old, her face had not seen aging. Her slender blue eyes were covered with thick eyelashes. Her dazzling blonde hair was radiant. She was wearing a white military uniform with golden silk satin and a wide-blade sword with obvious magic.

Edward knew who this person was very good.

She is the speaker of the "Xian Lao Conference" and the supreme leader of the clever division - commonly known as General Gloria. However, no one usually calls her like this, and she usually calls her another identity - Princess Gloria. When the king was assassinated and the black prince fled, she had the greatest voice in the whole of England.

"Salute to His Highness Princess Gloria!"

The guard of honor gave her an order, and the soldiers, commissioners, and even dolls greeted her with the most respectful etiquette.

"No need. I am not here as a princess today, but as a commander."

Gloria declared so. She walked down the stairs and sat in the forefront.

This formed a composition on the stage looking down at the stage, which was also a great pressure for Edward.

However, Edward knew Gloria's other identity - Silver Rose of the Rose Division, and this was one of the people he had to deal with. Although he was nervous and cautious, he didn't see much fear.

"Please sit, Director Rutherford."

After Rutherford saluted solemnly, he sat alone on the seat on the stage, alone.

Originally, he could have come with another authoritative person from the academy. But this time the call was very anxious (only for him), so he could only come by himself.

This also made Eduard feel more calm. Jin Qiangwei's incident also had a certain deterrence to Gloria, otherwise it would be a bit unruly to have only him come to this scale of meeting. Edward was not even worried about his safety, because he knew that Wu Jian's Nether Soldier would definitely come to protect him. Although he had never seen the Nether Soldier show much power. But judging from the performance of Tianyingxing, the Nether Soldier who protected (surveillance) was only strong and not weak.

"I'm sorry to call you here in this urgent period. We should have prepared a more relaxing place, but you all are already in a hurry."

Gloria's words almost made Edward sneer.

Stop teasing, who are you trying to fool?

All of this is clearly the result of careful preparation. In any case, all the members have been summoned, even the national envoys who did not send overseas students this year. This was also started preparing at least a month ago... However, it was a bit urgent to summon him. Perhaps Gloria also wanted to settle everything while Wu Jian was away.

No matter what, if the backbone is not there, the forces left by Wu Jian should not do too outrageously. At least on-site changes will be relatively weak, and of course their strength will be weak... Although this is also a fact, it depends on whether Gloria really has this ability.

Edward sneered in his heart, but said, "A lot of things have happened during this extraordinary period, which has made all the virtuous elders worry. It's Edward's fault."

"No, I haven't left Windsor Castle for a long time, and the world has become too noisy. There are many people who resist the imperial authority - in the end, the dog is still unaware of the world, which is really shameful and lamentable. It's also causing you trouble."

"The princess is so serious, but I really don't dare to take it."

"I guess the college is quite chaotic. Is the night party going smoothly?"

“That’s natural.”

It’s not natural to think about it. Something happened before that forced Yehui to interrupt it, and the Yehui has not started again until now. It’s really a pity that Edward can assert this shamelessly.

And this statement really set off the curtain for this parliament.

“How arrogant…”

"Shameless."

"He should be questioned more harshly."

The whispers of the committee members came over, and it seemed that they were already furious. And the attack on Edward was about to begin.

"Then, let's listen to the opinions of the committee members in turn - start from there."

Gloria casually pointed to the person. It did start with that person, but she didn't give Edward a chance to reply and asked questions one by one.

"How could the process of the night meeting be fine!? The venue is gone, and it has not been repaired yet!"

"And I heard that someone attacked the academy a few days ago. I don't know how you repelled the invaders. But starting from the night meeting, are there too many troubles?"

"Such troublesome nightclubs are unprecedented! And to this day, even the riots of the 'Demon Eater' have not been resolved - how many missing people are left there without any care? And the disappearances caused by the Black Prince's previous rebellion are the same."

"Yes! Everything starts with him - their appearance! I heard that the 'penalty' and 'penalty' were poor, was their selection just?"

"Besides, there are too many people who have formed a party, right? This is unprecedented. The glove holders of the Night Club actually formed a group of dozens of people. This is really unbearable. You know, the Night Club is used to select the only best magician!"

"There are so many exceptions in this issue of night. It's hard to imagine that it can correctly select the Demon King."

"Yes, we should start over from the selection of glove holders."

"I won't talk about this for now, but it's still necessary to start over from the first night."

At the beginning, the "commissioners" could also ask and impeach Edward normally, but in less than a few sentences, their real purpose was revealed - resetting the night party and letting Wu Jian leave the venue.

"I'm very sorry - everyone's opinions are really not worth listening to."

Edward's simple sentence calmed the audience.

this......

He was facing representatives and ambassadors from various countries, and their attitude was also crucial to his own status. It would be fine to refute, but it was actually such a disdainful tone. What backing does it have? This left everyone speechless.

"Is your words an insult to the meeting? Please explain it to the wise elders."

Gloria's voice sounded in the silent auditorium. To be honest, she did not add to the wrong side and surprised Edward.

However, Edward was relieved soon. Gloria must have understood that the questions of the "committees" were not at all related, and he explained that he wanted to find the flaws from his words.

"As for the order." Edward owed, then looked up at the "committees" and explained: "The selection of 'punt last' is correct. If you want to tell the evidence, he is still in the night party. This is the ironclad evidence that he has the qualification to become a demon king. It would be better to say that he is already the King of Yehui. The birth of various parties is precisely to deal with him, an absolute strong man! Isn't Yehui just used to select the most powerful 'devil king'? Everyone still doubts his qualifications. Isn't that laughing?"

The moment he said this, Edward felt that his pressure was reduced - it was not from the "commissioners", they could not let him go like this. But from somewhere behind him, which made Gloria and all the elites of the clever team present unable to discover the breath.

Edward's words also left all the "committees" speechless. The night meeting was indeed a place to select strong people. They knew very well how strong Wu Jian was.

"The right or wrong of forming a party has been put on the agenda by you, but people's expectations and strategies are also one of the talents of magicians. Besides, there have been precedents of cooperation in the past, which is not an exception."

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they were also talking, but now no one asked Edward first.

One of the "commissioners" met Gloria's eyes and coughed, and asked, "Then, there are repeated questions about vicious events here. The clock tower was destroyed before, revealing a big hole. As far as I know, there was no such thing when the college was selected. There was also a few days ago when the college was attacked, and some information said it was to get something from there. These reasons seem to point to your "extremely secret research."

"If I were really doing extremely intensive research, I wouldn't be caught so easily. What's more, there was an underground hole there. The reason why I built a clock tower on it, rather than a teaching building or a dormitory building, is also for safety reasons. If I want to conduct secret research, why not in a place with few people? The college is so big."

Edward didn't even move a single eyebrow, and made an expression of ignorance, mainly facing Gloria, and she was also staring at Edward's face.

However, Edward's words were not completely flawless. The "committee" wanted to say something. However, they were interrupted by Gloria.

"There is no problem with this night meeting. That's what you advocate?" Gloria asked with a smile.

"...It's true. No matter how many times you do it again, the winner will not change. Moreover, there are physical constraints. If the 'Year of Demon Eclipse' ends, you will have to wait for another four years."

Edward hesitated for a moment, what seemed to be wrong?

And this answer seemed to satisfy Gloria. She stood up and declared to the "committees": "It seems that this matter is reasonable."

As soon as these words came out, Edward's heart suddenly jumped.

No! This is... a trap!?

Edward's head was running rapidly, and at this pace, the plot should still follow Gloria's intention.

Her purpose was not to abolish him, the principal, nor to reset the night meeting. The purpose of this parliament should be to let the "commissioners" expose their dissatisfaction, protect their face, and promote their own goals.

Gloria's purpose is also beneficial to the "committee", and that should be...

"Then let's start the next issue. Please hand over the 'punctum' and his accomplices to the Imperial Army."

Sure enough!! The purpose is Wu Jian, and she should know that Wu Jian is not in this matter. She probably plans to eradicate Wu Jian's power first, and then use it to completely control the academy and night meetings. Unfortunately, she didn't know that the "committees" were used by her. She thought she could get it in the hands of this woman.

"This is really a sudden request. How dare you ask why?" Edward asked calmly.

"Looking Lieutenant General Raikkonen to death, the proud talent in our imperial army, is forced to death."

"Oh? This is the first time I heard that Lieutenant General Raikkonen temporarily retreated because of the students' independent resistance? I remember he left the academy at that time."

Edward was talking lies with his eyes open. After all, it happened not far from the college. Even some students were about to find blood. He had no reason not to know.

"It's good that you don't know. To be precise, it should be 'no news' - after fighting with Wu Jian and his gang."

"It is a fact that confrontation is true, but..."

"Evidence is needed, right? But he is also a suspect now. It is necessary to control it and ask for it - this is the warrant."

Gloria unfolded a parchment scroll, and Edward didn't have to look at it. As her identity, it was not easy to get an arrest warrant? And this was a complete excuse. I'm afraid that more than 10,000 troops of the Craftsman Division had been deployed around the academy and were ready to attack at any time.

"Edward Rutherford. In order to take care of the autonomy of the college, I will give two hours. If the time comes, my clever team will attack the college. But to avoid suspicion, you should stay here."

After saying that, Gloria turned around and left, leaving behind the "commissioners" and enough troops to watch Edward.
To be continued...
