Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2765: The dignity of a high-ranking family

As the detection perspective zoomed in, the scenes in the Emerald Star Courtyard appeared bit by bit in the form of magical images in the Temple of Stars. On the screen, teams of golden-armored guards were searching in the Emerald Star Courtyard.

Perhaps after hearing the instructions from King Helion, one of the golden armored guard commanders immediately separated from his men. At this time, the detection field also followed the commander and moved in the Emerald Star Courtyard.

During the movement, the fact that the Cuixing family was controlled was further demonstrated.

Soon, the screen followed the commander to a small palace. There were also golden-armored guards here, but they were not searching, but guarding.

The golden-armored commander, who was the focus of the investigation, negotiated with the golden-armored guards guarding the small palace before getting permission to enter.

Inside the palace was an exhibition hall, but at this time, the original displays had disappeared, leaving only small independent spaces separated by magic.

And at the entrance to one of the small spaces, Ista, the advisor to the crowned king, stood there impressively.

"Greetings to King Mian and the elders of the council."

Istar bowed slightly to the detection field in mid-air, and then introduced: "Most of the members of the Cuixing family have been controlled. Because the matter is so important, on-site interrogation has been arranged, and this is one of the interrogation locations.

"The members of the Cuixing family who are currently being interrogated, many core members have already confessed their affairs with the demon descendants. You can check them in real time if necessary."

As soon as Ishtar finished speaking, before Helion or anyone else could say anything, Lagdus couldn't help but taunted, "Isn't it what you are best at making up crimes? Have you not done enough in the past? What does this prove?"

Under normal circumstances, the field of detection is one-way, but if you have enough understanding of this spell, you can actually look at the past in reverse.

The current projection display created by Helion is not for the purpose of detecting, but more for the purpose of communicating between the two places. Istar can actually see the scenes in the Starry Temple with the help of the detecting field.

Hearing Ragdus's ridicule at this time, Ishtar did not show any displeasure. Instead, he smiled and said: "The crime can be fabricated, but can blood be transplanted out of thin air?"

As soon as these words came out, Ragdus suddenly fell silent again. How much time had passed from when he attended the dinner to now. If the demon blood could be transplanted so easily, those demon descendants would not be hiding in the dark like mice. .

At this moment, Ishtar seemed to be communicating with someone, and then suddenly walked to the entrance of another separated space, condensed the detection field extending from the Starry Temple into a magic mark and printed it on the back of his hand. Then walked into the divided space.

The next moment, the picture was distorted. When it resumed, it was already in a pure white interrogation room. The ground was covered with complicated magic lines. In the center was a disheveled elf. He occasionally showed a hint of unruly demeanor, but it immediately turned into a A cowering look.

At this time, an elf in the Temple of Stars already recognized the identity of the elf in the projection screen, "It's Ragdus' favorite grandson, Napis!"

"Lagdus, did you ever feel any regret after meeting Napis on such an occasion?" The smile on Ishtar's face became even wider, and he even began to tease Lagdus.

When Ragdus heard this, his face became even more gloomy and he became even more silent. At this time, even the dullest person could see that there was something wrong with Ragdus, but what exactly was the problem? Whether he has joined the demon camp as King Mian said——

Perhaps hearing the thoughts of everyone in the Temple of Stars, Ishtar shouted to Napis in the center of the interrogation room, "Napis, is your grandfather looking at you? Tell me what you think!"

At first, Napis didn't react at all. After a while, he crawled in circles in a very small area on the ground like crazy. While crawling, he cursed wildly:
"Old immortal, you killed me. I didn't want to transform into a demon descendant at the beginning. You had to force me! We are obviously already in a high-ranking family. Just enjoy it. Why do you want to be a dog to the demon descendant! Now it's okay, everyone It’s over, it’s all over!”

But Ishtar was still not satisfied and continued to shout: "Show your grandfather your demon form and let him remember it well!" "That's enough!"

No matter how much he endured, Ragdus could not accept that Ishtar had repeatedly humiliated his grandson. This was actually humiliating the Cuixing family. Why did he do so much? Was it for himself?
Not for this family!
But his words failed to stop Ishtar. It was King Helion who spoke in person, which made Ishtar restrain himself and allow the detection field to temporarily focus elsewhere.

After all, the Cuixing family is also the upper-ranking family of Ye Erlan. Although they have become traitors now, if they are humiliated again and again, it will inevitably make other upper-ranking families feel that they are being insulted by others, which is not conducive to internal unity.

"Lagdus, is there anything else you want to say?"

The same words were asked again. Ragdus no longer looked like the persecuted person at the beginning. His eyes were red - literally, his eyes turned red, showing the most obvious demonic characteristics.

Of course, there are more obvious ones, such as devil wings, devil horns, etc., but these are not in line with the elf aesthetics, and only the blood-red glowing devil eyes can be reluctantly accepted.

Judging from Ragdus's move, he may not be willing to join the demon camp.

"Helion, you win, I have nothing to say!"

"Why betray the clan?" Helian asked in a deep voice.

"What you thought was a betrayal, in my opinion, is not an attempt at salvation! You have indeed won now, but you will definitely regret today's decision in the future!"

The interests of the upper-ranking family are very involved. Although Ragdus has prepared for the worst, he believes that even if he admits his betrayal, there will be elders in the council willing to protect him.

Not to mention that he had already expected that today would happen, and had prepared multiple plans. He just waited for the time to be launched. If nothing else happened, he would at least be able to continue the family.

It's just that it's difficult to retain the name of superiority.

……

Next, King Helion had no intention of publicly interrogating Ragdus in front of a group of foreign guests. After it was clear that the other party had been transformed into a demon, the follow-up was entirely an internal matter of Erlan.

The dinner continued, but after what they had just experienced, there were still only a few elves who truly indulged themselves in enjoyment. For a time, the magic network in the Temple of Stars moved frequently, and all kinds of top-secret news was either spread out or in.

Even Xia Duo is no exception.

Although he did not subpoena others, he could not stand being interrogated by others. Badigal summoned him more than once to ask for details. Obviously, he failed to get any further information from Ambassador Fermaei or Yeerlan.

But Chateau didn't know much about the matter, maybe not as well as Ambassador Fermae. After all, the other party was an ambassador. When something like this happened, Erlan had the obligation to explain to the foreign ambassador.

As for Chateau, he was just a guest. Even if he had participated in the Metril incident before, this dinner was the complete end of that incident.
