Han Dong's smile was not because he was certain of victory.
It was because the president's mocking laughter had made him laugh.
So far, Han Dong had not seen any turning point in this game.
The president of the Writers' Association had more power than Mr. Black And White in the Holy City. He had already used various loopholes in the Holy City to infiltrate the higher-ups.
Even if the Great Plague Elder stepped in, all he could do was stall for time.
With the Supreme Council's order, Han Dong's arrest was basically a foregone conclusion.
At this moment.
There was actually another force that had arrived.
There were less than a hundred people, but they forced the Black Rose Knights and the Knights of Pestilence to retreat.
The arrival of this force made even the councilman and the president of the Writers' Association frown.
Marcus, the person in charge of the arrest operation, had a troubled look in his eyes. The originally simple arrest operation had become extremely complicated.
"The curator is here!"
There were a total of 30 special personnel wearing pure white high-collared robes and pointed hats. The back of their robes was printed with the "Sanyuan Script Imprint."
The leader was the head of the National Royal Knight Academy's library and the editor-in-chief of the Holy City Empire Book Publishing. He was also the honorary president of the Magic Association, Reynolds Rodney.
His image was that of an old man with a white beard. He was a white-robed wizard that was more commonly seen in fantasy movies.
Deputy Curator Hera was also beside him.
It was obvious that the force of the library had stepped in because of [Demps Martin].
The reason why it was a little late was that Deputy Curator Hera had personally written a letter asking the head curator to step in … After all, she was useless in this matter.
The contents of the letter described Dempus as a magic genius that was hard to come by in a hundred years, as well as his unique ability to control more than five different elemental magic at the same time. This moved the head steward, who ultimately decided to intervene in this matter.
"Councilman, I agree with the Great Plague Elder.
This matter involves an important staff member in my library — Demps Martin.
As far as I know, Demps was personally selected by Hera to be an ordinary librarian because of his excellent memory and sense of responsibility when he entered the school.
In the past three years, he has been diligent and has never brought any negative impact to my library.
If such an excellent employee is going to be convicted, why didn't they inform my library in advance? That's too much of a joke … If possible, I suggest that we conduct a retrial.
I, the Plague Warden, and anyone else involved in this matter are required to attend.
In addition, I also doubt President Stephen McNofsky's identity. "
The councilor's attitude was extremely firm. "The judgment is a document given by the Supreme Council with absolute authority. There's no need for it to be reformulated.
Curator, Chief Pestilence, please attend the Traitor's Trial at ten o 'clock sharp tomorrow morning.
As for President Stephen's matter, it didn't fall under the scope of the current incident.
If there's really a problem, we'll have to wait until the traitor incident is dealt with before we collect the relevant evidence, discuss it in parliament, and make a judgment. "
"Senator, shouldn't some of the Parliament's systems be changed?"
When the librarian threw out this sentence.
Even the Great Plague Chief was stunned. After all, he didn't dare to say such a thing out loud. It was tantamount to questioning the highest authority of the Sacred City.
Just as the atmosphere gradually became tense.
The president of the Writers' Association, Stephen, suddenly suggested:
"Everyone, there's no need to make things so complicated.
Indeed, it's my fault that I didn't inform the Curator and the Plague Warden about the trial and judgment of the traitors in time … I was the one who requested for the Parliament to expedite the trial. After all, it's too dangerous for such heretics to mingle in the Sacred City.
Once the news gets out and the traitors know that their identities have been exposed, there's a high chance that they'll escape.
Since both of you don't believe that there's a problem with your students or employees, and you don't believe the evidence I've provided.
Then I'll personally 'examine' them.
The 'Dream Spell' I possess is enough to make any traitor reveal the parts of their bodies that belong outside the city.
If the verification fails, I'll personally request for a new judgment from the Parliament, and I'll be fully responsible for the insufficient evidence I've provided … I'll even take the initiative to step down from my position as the president of the Writers' Association.
Seeing is believing!
Curator Reynolds, Great Plague Chief Mograine, what do you think of this suggestion? "
"Alright."
The librarian was only relying on the evidence provided by Hera. He simply didn't believe that there was a problem with the librarian under his wing.
At the same time, the Curator wasn't very satisfied with the president of the Writers' Association, so he came here to intervene.
He didn't object to such a suggestion.
But the Great Plague Chief looked troubled, because he knew that there was indeed a problem with Han Dong.
Just then, Crow whispered to the Great Plague Chief, telling him not to worry.
"Alright, we'll handle it according to President Stephen's method."
The Great Plague Chief looked calm, but he was extremely anxious inside … If Han Dong's identity was exposed, the biggest crime of covering up for him would be Mr. Black And White.
"Black And White, you told me that … the president's body corresponds to a high-level existence outside the city. Now that he's directly examined like this, there's no way a student like you can resist it, right? "
"Don't worry, this game has already given birth to an additional hidden chessboard.
When Nicholas obtained the 'evidence,' he was already distracted and focused all his attention on Han Dong and Demps, who were rushing back to the city.
He didn't notice the additional changes on the chessboard at all.
Even though he has a complete advantage on the main chessboard, in the overall situation, he's digging his own grave.
Also, with the help of the Timekeeper, a special person has returned in advance, just in time for this important moment … Next, we just need to watch the show. "
…
After obtaining the approval of the councilors.
President Stephen's face was filled with a victorious smile, and his deep eyes conveyed his disdain for inferior species to Han Dong.
A powerful aura spread out from President Stephen's body.
As the President approached, Han Dong's body trembled and he slowly retreated, and his expression was stiff …
"What … Where's the smile just now? Do you think you can continue to hide your identity just because you have the Captain as your backer? What a naive little guy. "
A strong mental power came out of the President's head and instantly suppressed Han Dong, not giving him any chance to escape or resist.
"Let everyone see the ugly face you're hiding under that mask."
A finger touched his forehead.
Han Dong's expression froze, and the deepest secret in his mind was dug out.
A strong aura of death overflowed from Han Dong's feet.
At the same time, in the cellar area of the [Ultimate Knights] in the Holy City's Upper Zone, Captain Alex suddenly opened his eyes, and four words came out of his mouth:
"Absolute Death …"
At the city gate.
What slowly emerged from Han Dong's body was not a spotted tentacle, an indescribable deformed face, or a strange body that could not be described with conventional words.
It was a black tree.
"Pfft … Hahaha! I'm sorry, I really can't keep up the act, let me laugh for a while. "
Han Dong's pretense of horror was broken, and he held his stomach and laughed crazily.
Through the [Crazy Laughter] attribute and the Faceless Skull, they resisted the President's mental invasion.
"What … is this tree!?"
The Black Rose Knights, the Plague Knights, and even the knowledgeable library staff had never seen such a strange talent tree. To be precise, it was beyond the concept of a normal talent tree.
When the black tree appeared, the surrounding scenery changed accordingly.
The ground where the knights stood was replaced by an illusion of black sand.
In the black desert filled with death, there was a black tree that grew after being watered by blood. The lush branches were full of red fruits.
From afar.
The dense red fruits were pieced together like a red smiley face, and the black branches were like the lines on the lips.
Talent Tree – [Smiley Face]
