Chapter 209: Ming Dynasty in front of the stage
Everyone lowered their eyebrows and no one said a word. The old man seemed tired, but saw him hanging his head and whispered: "Okay, let me know when our little princess arrives. Everyone else, let me continue."
However, everyone present lost the interest in talking. The crowd lowered their heads and occasionally made a look of eyes. But they all touched each other and no one continued to talk. The conference table fell into a strange calm.
Gaspard lowered his head calmly, his eyes were half-closed but he did not communicate with anyone. He didn't even raise his eyelids, only he knew that his palms were covered with sweat.
I don’t know how long it took, but the young man who was whispering beside the old man walked in again. But he saw him whispering something in the old man’s ear. The old man who looked lazy and leaned on the chair opened his muddy eyes again.
"Oh?! Our little princess is here? Then let her come in!" The old man smiled at his lips: "I haven't seen her for many years. The last time I saw her was when her grandfather was alive."
The young man didn't say anything, but saw him stroke his chest and perform a knight's salute, then bowed and retreated. After a while, there were sounds of footsteps outside the door. However, the thick wooden door that had been quietly opened was opened with a silent sound. "Click~!" The sound was directly opened!
The light outside the door shone directly on everyone along the gate. The crowd squinted their eyes and looked at the figure walking in along the sunlight. The sleepy old man still had a lazy smile on his face at this moment.
"Welcome to the base of the Legion, Little Lisa." The sound like mechanical friction sounded again, but he slowly stood up: "I feel very sad about your brother's affairs. But you are also the child of the Legion, and the Legion will be your home from now on. No one will hurt you again."
Lisa smiled slightly and bowed to the old man with an impeccable lady gift: "Thank you! But I came here not to seek asylum. I came here to inherit the responsibility of the Cialis family in the Legion."
To be honest, Lisa actually looks very embarrassed now. There was no time for her to adjust her outfit on the road. The melee just now directly led to the fact that her whole body of clothes changed from custom-made dresses to a pile of rags.
The hair was made into a mess. There were countless scratches on the hands and arms. Although it was simple to deal with, it still looked shocking.
"Hahaha... I can't give you a reply at this point for the time being." The old man laughed, waved his hand and asked someone to put down a chair in front of the conference table and said, "This matter needs to be discussed by other members of the Legion."
The old man stood up, and there was naturally no reason for others to continue sitting. Everyone, whether they were willing or not, could only stand up. This included the gaspard with a calm face.
Hou Dasheng and the others did not enter the conference room with Lisa, they were all arranged to wait outside. Only Old Leon came in with Lisa.
"Oh~ My poor old Leon, look at what you are now. Tell me, what did you encounter?" When the old man looked at Old Leon, a hint of ruthlessness suddenly burst out from his turbid eyes.
Obviously, Old Leon's miserable situation had angered him. But the old man returned to his chair and raised his hand to make a speech gesture to Old Leon. Even at this time, Old Leon still had no seat.
"Old Legion Commander, we were ambushed by a group of extremely professional mercenaries on the way to come." Old Leon first saluted everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "If we had not taken precautions in advance, we might have died there."
"Obviously, we were betrayed. We were betrayed by the people inside the legion." Old Leon said in a deep voice: "I only received the news for our itinerary and route this morning. But the other party obviously did not make preparations today."
Old Leon looked ugly and glanced at the people on the conference table: "There are no more than three people who can know this news. I think we will soon know who betrayed the Legion."
Old Leon's words made many of the present look extremely ugly. Everyone knows what this will mean once the inventory starts. The legion will indeed bring them huge enough benefits, but they also need to be loyal and responsible.
When was the last time the internal cleanup of the legion? It was around World War II, and the internal vitality of the legion was severely damaged. That time, due to internal differences, the legion was split and cut for the first time.
The current legion commander, with the support of the family of Siliex, Gaspard, Salza, etc., inherited the legion. Those losers in the struggle were forced to leave the legion.
Once, they fought back and even occupied the castle. But history played a big joke on them, and they were arrogant and eventually paid a bloody price. In that battle, the losers paid the entire family.
The winner did not smile, only fear. The Cialis family almost ruined the entire family in that persistence. This is why the Legion commander resisted the opposition and firmly placed the interests of the Legion in France on the Cialis family. At the same time, he also gave the former Bernoir the greatest support.
"God of Gaspard, if I remember correctly, you have just returned from France..." A member of the army stood up and looked at Gaspard and said coldly: "As far as I know, Lisa was wanted by France not long after you arrived in France. At the same time, the French side dispatched the man in black for the first time to round her up, right?"
Gaspard looked a little funny in a white robe. You know, he is fat and bald. But no one dares to laugh at him here: "I went to France to report to grandmaster. You can consult grandmaster for this."
"And I went to France because Lord Benoit has been proven to return to the embrace of the Lord. Our power in France needs someone to unite and continue to operate. This is for the benefit of the Legion."
But Gaspard drooped his eyelids and said softly: "As for your speculation, please provide evidence."
"Hahaha..." Another member stood up with a sneer after hearing this: "Do you really think your contact with Albizi can be hidden from everyone?! Albizi is trying to seize the forces that once belonged to the Siliex family, and he may even be the black hand of the murder of Lord Benoit. Don't you know this?!"
Gaspard raised his head when he heard this: "This is not within my jurisdiction. I found him because he has taken over part of the interests of the Legion in France. I need to tell him that those are the interests of the Legion. I need to get them back."
"As for whether he is the murderer of Lord Benoit, this requires the Legion to make a judgment. I just execute the grandmaster's order and will not make any other actions that have nothing to do with my authority."
"If you insist on thinking that I am related to these things, please submit evidence to grandmaster." Gaspard sneered and said, "I believe in the fairness of the Legion, and I believe that grandmaster will give us fairness."
Grandmaster sat high on the chair, and his eyes seemed to be still so turbid and unconscious. When someone mentioned him, the old man's eyelids slowly raised. At one moment, Gaspard felt like he was being nailed to death.
"Let's not discuss this matter for now, I think it will be revealed soon..." grandmaster took back the look that burst out at that moment, and still had the drowsy expression: "What we are going to discuss today is that Miss Lisa inherited the qualifications and powers of His Excellency Benoit."
"As for attacks and betrayals, no traitor can leave the legion safely." Grandmaster still had that look, and a hoarse voice like mechanical friction sounded in the conference room: "Someone will pay the price for this."
The two members of the army who questioned Gaspard were speechless. At this time, Gaspard drooped his eyelids and whispered: "Miss Lisa, I am also very sad about the death of Your Excellency Benoit. But what I want to say is that if you want to take over the position left by Your Excellency Benoit, it may be unruly."
Lisa's eyes narrowed slightly, and the questions of the two of them just now undoubtedly told her very bluntly: This is her enemy, an enemy who has always wanted to kill her.
"Oh?! The Cialis family seems to have always had the qualifications to inherit the position of the Legion, right?" Lisa's eyes were smiling, but if she was familiar with her, she would know that the slightly narrowed corners of her eyes did not mean that she was smiling.
This is more of a sign that she was angry before.
"Mr. Benoit has been working as a servant in the army since he was twelve. From monks, farmers, sergeants... until his master before his death, all this was a recognition of his ability."
Gaspard did not go to see Lisa and continued to say to himself: "You have not worked in any position in the Legion, so although you have the qualifications of the Cialis family, you can only start from the bottom. Only when you prove your ability can you have the right to inherit the rights and interests of the Cialis family in the Legion."
"After all, the rights of the legion cannot be handed over to anyone at will." Gaspard's words made people unable to refute. Even grandmaster, who was sitting high in the main seat, did not express any comments.
