The conference room fell into a deathly silence, and all of the elders' expressions darkened as they stared at the letter.
There was no signature on the letter, but none of them doubted its authenticity. After all, no one knew just how close the elven race was to the Magus Tower.
"Schubert is the elven minister in charge of punishment, right? He holds an extremely high status in the elven race. Even if Irina really is insane, there's no way she would kill him, right? "Brent swallowed with incredulity in his voice.
Elliot and the others were also looking at Richard in silence. All of them had participated in the ambush three years ago, and they had either directly or indirectly crippled Meg Alex.
Schubert was one of the people sent by the elven race at the time, and he was the one who had brought that one-year-old half-elf girl with him. Now that he had been killed by Irina, all of them were extremely concerned.
Just how powerful was Irina? They had personally witnessed Meg Alex's terrifying power three years ago, so they had a better idea of just how powerful she was. It was said that they were the most powerful beings in the younger generation.
If she were to seek revenge for Meg Alex and their little daughter, what kind of fate would await them? Perhaps Schubert was only the beginning.
"Irina doesn't follow common sense. If she really did know that Schubert was involved in the ambush three years ago, then it wouldn't be strange for her to kill him." Richard looked at everyone, and said in a low voice, "Furthermore, this may only be a warning and the beginning. Even though the royal family has already suppressed this matter, and all the evidence from back then has been taken care of, we still can't be sure how much information she has gathered. Perhaps that elf who returned brought more information than we expected."
"Then what should we do? If she finds out that we were involved in the ambush three years ago, will she come after us as well? " Brent was a little nervous. Crassus' request was still stuck in his throat, and now, he had to face Irina's threat of revenge, and he felt as if he were about to have a mental breakdown.
"We're the only ones who know about this. Those demons have already been killed, and the second prince definitely won't reveal this to anyone else. Even if she knows that our Magus Tower is involved in this, she won't make us her enemy, right? The royal family definitely won't allow her to kill a magic caster from our Magus Tower without any evidence. If she doesn't want to incite a war between the elven race and the Roth Empire, then she wouldn't have come to Rodu on her own, right? Otherwise, we could kill her in Rodu just like we did three years ago. No matter how powerful Alex is, he would still be crippled by us. "Elliot was very confident in his voice.
"That's right! If she dares to come, we'd her! She gave birth to that bastard child with Alex three years ago, and we're still covering up that scandal for her. If news of this spreads back to the elven race, and the elves learn that the pristine elven princess in their hearts has actually given birth to a half-elf bastard with a human, they definitely won't support her anymore. As long as she's stripped of her status as the elven princess, she'll be nothing more than an ordinary person no matter how arrogant she is. We can kill her, and the elven race won't be able to do anything about it. "Brent's breathing was accelerating.
The other elders' eyes also lit up upon hearing this. They had crippled Alex three years ago, and the biggest threat was Irina. If they could kill Irina as well, then all of this would be resolved.
"Furthermore, hasn't the Crassus already severed ties with the Magus Tower? If he wants to destroy the Magus Tower again, then we can kill him as well. He's just an outsider; we have enough reason and confidence to kill him if he wants to destroy the Magus Tower. "Brent's expression was already tinged with a hint of madness.
"Well …" All of the elders were rather hesitant upon hearing this, and all of them turned to Richard.
"Idiot, looks like there's a reason why Hank would do something as stupid as that." Richard's brows furrowed as he looked at Brent, and said in a cold voice, "If you dare to spread the news that Irina gave birth to a child, then the entire continent will know that our Magus Tower colluded with the demons to kill Alex tomorrow. When that time comes, are you planning to commit suicide to face the onslaught of the empire's heavy cavalry? The reason why they dared to let us know that Irina gave birth to a child was because they had information that could be used against us. Are you planning to fight them to the death? "
"I … I …" Brent's expression changed drastically, and he lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
"And Crassus, even though he said that he's severed ties with the Magus Tower, if he really does come to destroy the Magus Tower, how many people in the Magus Tower do you think will support you in killing him?" Richard's voice became even colder as he said, "Let me tell you, at least half of the people in the Magus Tower will kill you first as they're all his disciples. Furthermore, if you dare to attack him, that person in the royal palace definitely won't just stand by and do nothing. They're the only two people left who built the Magus Tower. "
Brent's face became paler and paler, and his legs began to tremble at the mention of that person in the royal palace. He lowered his head even further, and didn't dare to say anything.
Elliot also lowered his head, and didn't dare to say anything.
"Great Elder, what should we do now? We can't just sit here and wait for our deaths, right? "A short and fat elder hesitated momentarily before mustering up his courage.
"Don't worry too much. Irina still has to be confined for a year, and there's no way that she would have a detailed list of all of the people involved in the operation three years ago, so she won't be able to come after you. Furthermore, our Magus Tower is not to be trifled with. If she really dares to come to Rodu, then let her come. This is our territory, so what's there to panic about? " Richard glanced at the letter that was still hovering in mid-air. The letter was instantly reduced to ashes, and he said in a cold voice, "I'll send people to keep an eye on Irina. From now on, cut off all contact between her and the outside world. As long as she can't find any concrete evidence, then she won't come to Rodu. At the same time, I'll put pressure on the elven race to keep her in check. I'm sure they don't want to see a situation where both sides suffer. "
"Great Elder, I …" Brent opened his mouth to say something.
Richard looked up at him with an indifferent expression, and said, "If I were you, I would be thinking about how to get a flying steed as soon as possible so that I can get to Chaos City."
"Yes." Brent swallowed the rest of his words, and lowered his head again, not daring to say anything.
…
"Bastard! Looks like that elf has discovered a lot more than we expected. We shouldn't have let him go back alive! "
