When the two sides began to debate, the situation was even more one-sided.
Romon's eloquence was amazing! He could turn the bad into the good, the smelly into the fragrant, the black into the white, and the dead into the living. In contrast, Steele was just smart and articulate, but she was not at the same level as Romon at all.
From the beginning of the debate, Steele was suppressed by Romon. Her reasons were refuted one by one, and she was embarrassed by the criticism. Occasionally, she would seize the opportunity to refute, but she would fall into the trap prepared by Romon in advance, which made her even more embarrassing.
Not only that, every time Romon made an excellent performance, one or several nobles or representatives who had been bribed by him in advance would applaud him. Every time they applauded, the nobles and representatives who supported Steele became more and more embarrassed. In the end, all of them looked blue and black. Sui Xiong suspected that if it were not for the rules, they would have left in a huff.
The scene could only be described as miserable, and the nobles and representatives who were watching all shook their heads. Even Steele herself knew that she would lose, but she was just holding on because she did not want to lose everything.
"Alas! It's like a professional player beating a kid! " Sui Xiong could not help but sigh, "On one side, there is a master who can pay attention to other battles at any time and accurately control the cooldown time of his skills in half a second. On the other side, there is a rookie who only knows how to rush forward and roll the keyboard with his face. Romon is really boring. Even if he wants to beat a rookie, he still has to show off his skills.
"What do you mean by 'back and forth'?" Ray asked in confusion, "I didn't see Steele fight back."
Sui Xiong laughed.
The one-sided debate was over, and the nobles and representatives did not even need to discuss. They knew that everyone had made the same choice by looking at each other's eyes. And the nobles who had been bribed by Romon in advance were already celebrating and were ready to congratulate Romon.
The old baron asked for a while and confirmed everyone's opinions. Then he cleared his throat and announced the result.
"The result of this competition is that Romon wins. He will inherit the title of Viscount of Geerteng and become the new lord of this land. And Steele will be deprived of her noble status and driven out of the territory of Geerteng. "He looked around majestically," Now, does anyone want to object to this result? "
Almost immediately, the girl's clear and melodious voice rang out from below the stage. "I have an objection!"
Hearing her voice, the noisy venue quietened down.
Many of the nobles on the high platform were surprised and hesitant. The nobles who supported Romon were furious, but they did not dare to act rashly.
Those who dared to cause trouble on such an occasion were definitely not fools. They definitely had something to rely on. But no one could figure out what made this person so confident that he dared to risk universal condemnation.
The old baron, who was the host, was also stunned. Just as he was about to get angry, he felt a chill in his heart and vaguely guessed what was going on. Thus, he hurriedly suppressed his anger and allowed the doubters to speak on stage according to the rules.
Olian slowly walked up to the platform. At the most critical moment, she was completely calm. There was not the slightest hint of panic on his face. He was calm and unruffled, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in a courtyard.
When she came to the center of the platform and stood side by side with Romon and Steele, the old baron asked, "Who are you to speak? Why do you object? "
"I'm Olian, a member of the Geerteng family. I speak as a member of the family, "Olian replied calmly. "I question Mr. Romon's lineage. The viscount of Geerteng can't be inherited by an outsider."
"Nonsense!" A nobleman, who was as strong as a bear, suddenly stood up and shouted, "Romon's identity was personally identified by us. It's absolutely correct!"
He was one of the noblemen who had been bribed by Romon in advance. At this moment, when the matter was about to be settled, a troublemaker jumped out. He immediately stood up to show that he had not been bribed for nothing.
His title was not high, but his personal strength was extremely powerful. As he spoke, his eyes were wide open, and a fierce momentum burst out from his body. He was like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain. Although he was still far away from Olian, his momentum seemed to be substantial as he approached the center of the high platform. He wanted to use his momentum to oppress Olian and force her to retreat.
Forced by this momentum, Steele's legs became weak and she collapsed on the ground. Her lower body was wet. Romon's face was also slightly pale. Although he managed to maintain his demeanor, he had to take two steps back.
But for Olian, who had once fought with a dragon, this little bit of momentum was nothing at all. Even if more than half of the momentum was directed at her, she was not affected at all. She looked at the strong nobleman calmly, as if a cool breeze was blowing on her face. "Of course I have evidence. This kind of thing can't be spoken carelessly."
"Humph!" The strong man, who looked more like a bear than a human, looked around and could not find any helpers. He had to snort coldly and sit down again. "I'm waiting to see your evidence. If it can't convince me, even if you're a woman, you can't escape punishment!"
As he spoke, he slammed his fist heavily on the table in front of him. Not only did the immense force create a crack on the sturdy wooden table, but it also caused the entire platform to tremble slightly. Many of the nobles with low combat power furrowed their brows.
If this human-shaped bear really went crazy on the stage, everyone would be in danger!
"You said you have evidence? Then take it out. " The old baron tried his best to keep his tone calm, but his furrowed brows and solemn eyes betrayed the displeasure in his heart.
Things were about to end perfectly. How could there be another troublemaker?! And the reason was to question Romon's bloodline … If she really proved her doubts, including him, all the noblemen who had checked and recognized Romon's bloodline would become a laughing stock!
Olian nodded slightly and took two steps to the side to keep a distance from Romon. She looked as if she was afraid that Romon would be angry and hurt her.
Her action was too obvious, causing everyone to frown again. Romon did not know whether to laugh or cry. He was not crazy. No matter what kind of doubts he faced, he would not hurt her!
If he did, it would be a real suspicion. Even if he could get through this, he would still be in big trouble in the future. Not to mention … if he dared to attack and hurt someone on this sacred platform that symbolized nobility and tradition, even if there was no problem with his bloodline, he would definitely be deprived of his inheritance!
For example, the idiot next to him, who had already collapsed on the ground and smelled bad, would definitely not inherit the throne even if he was defeated now.
After all, the most important thing for the noblemen was honor, or "dignity." A person who lost his dignity at a critical moment was not qualified to be the heir.
Moreover, he did not believe that this little girl had any way to make him reveal his secret. The Bloodline Inheritance Ceremony had been used countless times by the various nobles over the years. Who had seen anyone who could see through it?
After Olian stood still, a light flashed on her wrist, and there was a gray scroll in her hand that emitted a crystal blue light.
"This scroll seals a spell called 'Magic Disintegration', which can remove the effect of any magic. Whether it comes from the magic itself, from a magic prop, or from a certain ceremony, there is no exception. "
Romon's heart skipped a beat, and he almost fell down. He never dreamed that the Geerteng Family had such a foundation. A little girl from an unknown side branch could actually take out a scroll of legendary magic!
Could it be that among the generations of viscounts of the Geerteng Family, there was someone who had known a great legendary wizard, and they had such a strong friendship that the wizard specially made this scroll for him?
Maybe … this legendary wizard was hiding in the dark now, and it was he who instructed this little girl to come forward and protect the inheritance of the Geerteng Family?
But then he drove all these absurd thoughts out of his mind. He did not know whether the scroll was real or not. Why did he scare himself? There were too many such things in the casino. There were many idiots who had a good hand of cards, but were fooled by a bad one. He could not make such a mistake!
A scroll of legendary magic? How could it be so easy to appear!
As a senior liar, he had practiced the Kung Fu of pretending to be good. He thought about it several times in his mind, but his face did not change at all, which made the nobles who had some doubts after hearing Olian's question became suspicious again. And the nobles who had been bought over by Romon took the opportunity to whisper and disturb people's hearts.
"Is this little girl talking nonsense?"
"Yes, a scroll of legendary magic … How could it be possible? My family is also a big noble, but I have never seen it in my life."
"What kind of existence is a legendary wizard! If you can meet him and talk with him for a while, you can brag about it for a lifetime. And a scroll of legendary magic? Not all Legendary-mages can create Legendary-level scrolls! "
Of course, it was not that no one seriously discussed it —
"Is it possible that she used 'Advanced Dispel Magic' to make up the number? In theory, it can also dispel magic effects and temporarily suppress magic props … "
"But if you want to dispel the effect of the ritual, I'm afraid you have to use a legendary magic. If not, how could the Bloodline Inheritance Ritual — "
"Be careful! Be careful! "
"Yes, yes … Some things can't be said, I'm confused …"
Facing the scrutinizing and suspicious eyes of the crowd, Olian remained calm and raised the scroll over her head. "Yes or no, I'll activate the scroll later, and everyone will naturally understand."
"Now, I'm going to activate this scroll."
"No!" The bear-like man hurriedly shouted. "Who knows what scroll you have in your hand! If it is a powerful magic scroll of attack, at least half of us will die with one spell, given that we are so close! "
Olian sneered. "If anyone is worried that it is an attack scroll, you can leave now."
In the face of Olian, who was holding the faintly glowing scroll in her hand and was about to be activated at any time, even the bear-like man could not help but show a cautious look. He did not dare to act rashly.
He knew that his wisdom was limited, and he could not think of any good ideas. He turned his head and hurriedly winked at the "respectable" old aristocrat next to him.
The old aristocrat was indeed a shrewd man. He rolled his eyes and came up with an idea. He said in a low voice, "I don't think it's appropriate. All of us have life-saving magic props on us. If you use Magic Disintegration, all our magic props will lose their effectiveness … This is a great loss! "
"Then you can first give the magic props to someone trustworthy and send them far away." Olian still maintained the posture of holding the scroll in her hand, and her expression did not change.
"This is not okay!" A triangular-faced representative shouted. "Without the magic props to protect us, what if there is an assassin? Maybe you are in cahoots with the assassin! "
This person was also bribed by Romon in advance so that he could frame them when necessary. It was originally just a precautionary move, but now it really played a role.
Since he had taken the lead, those aristocrats and representatives who had already decided to support Romon's succession also followed suit. One by one, they said that they were distinguished and in danger of being assassinated at any time. They said that Olian wanted them to remove the magic props to protect themselves. She simply had an ulterior motive and wanted to collude with the assassin to assassinate them!
For a moment, the situation on the high platform was a little chaotic, but Romon secretly smiled.
That's it, the more chaotic, the better! As long as the situation was chaotic, there would be a chance to seize the little girl before she could activate the scroll. Whether that scroll was the legendary spell Magic Disintegration or not, if it could not be activated, everything would be in vain.
But it was too early for him to be happy. At this moment, Ray, who had been silent, stood up, took a deep breath, and roared —
"Quiet! Quiet! "
