Chapter 348: Elivitt was the first to be captured
The Chief Tutor has a very low emotional intelligence. To be more precise, he has no idea what it means to read the atmosphere when speaking. He always says whatever he thinks without paying any attention to other people's emotions. This is why he appears to be so arrogant.
This attitude had inherently posed a hidden danger, but it had never touched Eloleus' bottom line, so the two had been at peace.
However, Lord Qinghui held the idea of taking advantage of conflicts if they existed, and creating conflicts if they did not exist, so he inserted himself into the situation and forcibly created a gap in the originally harmonious relationship between the monarch and his subjects.
And under his unremitting guidance and hints, Elevit finally lived up to everyone's expectations and said the words that absolutely should not be said.
Airoleus lowered his head slightly, his long, slightly curved eyelashes trembling, making it impossible to see what emotion was in those holy blue eyes.
The elf loli said in an unbelievably indifferent voice:
"Lord Elevit, what do you mean by that?"
If he were a normal person, he would have taken care of the monarch's emotions at this time. However, Ilevitt was not normal. The extremely conceited Grand Tuner said without hesitation:
"Literally, Your Majesty, you and Lord Qinghui should not be officially engaged yet, right? There is still room for discussion and maneuver on this matter."
The tall and stern silver-haired elf paused and said, "I'm not saying that we must oppose it, but the previous situation did not take your control over Lu Yin into consideration. The conditions of the marriage should be changed."
Are you sure you want to say that? In front of Westhead!
Disgusting! And doing it in front of others! Disgusting! Disgusting!
Faced with this ruthless proposal that embarrassed many of the court officials, Elorius took a deep breath but did not show any anger. Instead, he smiled and tilted his head:
"Okay, let's discuss this again!"
After Ilevitt left, Airolius raised his chin slightly, his clear blue eyes filled with a lingering heavy shadow:
"That guy, is he using my marriage with Brother Weiss as a tool to exchange benefits?"
Isn’t a political marriage essentially an exchange of interests?
Fatissia was a little nervous when she heard this. Perhaps only because Her Majesty was in love would she see the marriage so purely and would not tolerate such a materialistic and realistic interpretation.
Westhead sighed and said:
"Look, I told you, Elivitt won't bless us. He was very reluctant to even agree to the marriage and could break the engagement at any time. Even if we're officially engaged, he still has countless ways to hinder us. As long as he holds power, this is inevitable."
In fact, it is not necessary. As long as Westhead does not covet the [Thousand Laws Code], Elevit will most likely not interfere. However, the Queen of Wind Law, who has preconceived ideas, cannot care so much.
Elorius's holy blue eyes were filled with coldness and melancholy, and he said:
"Brother Weiss, you are right. Lord Elevit is loyal to the royal court, to tradition, and to himself, but he is not loyal to me."
The elf Loli clenched her fists and gritted her teeth:
"Traitor. I've already given him a chance."
Westhead picked up Airolius and whispered in his ear:
"Now we can solve the hidden danger of the Grand Tutor once and for all. It is very easy and will not cause too much damage to the Thousand Laws Royal Court. This is the best opportunity. If he is prepared, everything will become difficult and there is a possibility that an unbearable civil war will break out."
"Well, let's do it according to Brother Weiss's method!"
Airoleus nodded vigorously and hugged the man's neck, his mind already made up in his words.
In the next few days, the Central Royal Court seemed calm, but there were undercurrents.
Many important palace armed forces were mobilized. The Royal Guards, which originally consisted of half military officers and half the queen's personal guards, were stuffed with a large number of Yonglan Knights and Qinghui Guards. These allied forces came out of the Royal Court's headquarters and entered the core area of the Royal Court openly.
The nodes arranged in the Palace of Wind Rhythm were also cracked and modified one by one by Airolus. According to the words of the Queen of Wind Rhythm, this can also be regarded as practicing the Ten Thousand Wind Rhythms.
But for all this, Elivitt was surprisingly obtuse.
Even though he received all the news from his loyal tuner, Elivitt didn't think it was a big deal. Ever since he became the Grand Tuner, in the two hundred years, he never thought that he had anything to worry about. This thinking inertia that lasted for a hundred years made it impossible for him to connect all the signs together.
Compared to these, he was more focused on how to redefine the relationship with the Qinghui Territory allies until a few days later.
At that time, Elivitt received a notice saying that they wanted to discuss changing the terms of the marriage. When he first arrived at Fenglu Palace, his personal guards were left at guard.
"Sorry, according to regulations"
The silver-haired cold elf waved his hand and said, "I know, I will let them stay here. But when did Fenglu Palace have such a strong ban?"
Ilevitt looked at the Wind Palace surrounded by a barrier. As the most powerful person in the existing resonance path, he knew what it was at a glance.
Once inside this barrier, all tuning activities will be banned, and it will be difficult for anyone to establish a connection with the [Thousand Tune Ceremony].
The palace guard said expressionlessly, "This is also the order of His Majesty. He said that this is a very important meeting and no interruptions or accidents are allowed."
The prohibition of tuning has appeared in the history of the royal court before. It was mostly set up in some extremely solemn ceremonial occasions in order to ensure absolute safety and stability and prevent trouble from being caused by muddled tuners. The destructive power of this profession in the land of music is too strong.
"My trainers will never do anything irrational! But never mind, since His Majesty takes it so seriously."
Elivitt felt that something was wrong, but he shook his head and didn't take it too seriously.
According to common sense, one cannot enter a barrier that can seal one's own power openly.
But this is Fenglu Palace! The core area of the entire Qianlu Royal Court. If even Fenglu Palace is not safe, there is no safe place in the world. He has been there countless times in the past.
Although Elivitt's intuition made him feel like he was on edge.
But in the end, pride triumphed over everything, and Elivitt strode into the Wind Palace.
After walking for a while, he realized something was wrong. He didn't see a single maid along the way. The empty palace was eerily quiet, which was obviously unreasonable.
Feeling more and more uneasy, Elevit quickened his pace.
As he was about to walk into the conference room, the Yonglan Knights who were specifically sent to deal with him immediately appeared from all directions.
Led by Mephis, these Yonglan Knights were fully armed to the teeth. Their purpose was very clear, and they rushed forward while Ilevite was still confused. All kinds of seals, runes and props for binding and clamping were used.
Faced with the sudden change, the Grand Tuner, whose tuning power was sealed and who had no supernatural objects on his body, was stunned and captured by Mephis and other knights.
As the knights captured Elivitt, he panicked, yelled, punched and kicked, and struggled desperately.
"I'm here for a meeting, what are you doing?"
Mephis used the brute force of a legendary knight to suppress Ilevitt and said coldly: "Shut up! Just come with us."
The knights were very skilled and Ilevitt was quickly subdued by them. He was taken to a room in the Wind Palace with his arms twisted, where he saw Eloris and Westhead.
Not only these two people, but also beside Lord Qinghui are Resia and Mivana, two strong men who are no less powerful than Westhead.
In the conference room, these powerful men all looked at him coldly, which made the chief tuner feel a little uneasy.
Elivit shouted: "Your Majesty! What's going on?!"
"Fatisia, come on."
Elorius did not answer at all, but looked calmly at his confidant beside him.
The melancholy purple-haired elf beauty faced her former superior and weakly read out the arrest document, saying:
"The chief lawyer of the Thousand Laws Royal Court, I. Ilevit, you are accused of committing high treason, forming a clique for personal gain, deceiving the emperor, monopolizing nodes, and plotting against the God Ancestor to overthrow the Royal Court. In the name of the King of Wind Law, you. You are arrested, and you will be formally tried later."
"Bullshit! Fatizia! Are you going to read me the arrest warrant?"
"Who is it?! Who is slandering me! Lord Qinghui! Is it you?!"
Before Fatizia finished reading, Ilevitt suddenly roared, broke free from the knight's restraints, and pounced on Westhead who was five or six steps away.
Ilevitt is the Grand Tuner. Even if he is forbidden to resonate, as a strong man close to the demigod level, he has practiced boxing for several years and his martial arts are also very superb. If he pounces on him and hurts Lord Qinghui, how can he be tolerated?
However, Westhead was a veteran of many battles, and he calmly watched Ilevitt's crazy behavior with cold eyes. At this critical moment, Mivana on the side reacted quickly, rushed up and punched and kicked Ilevitt.
In terms of sheer numerical stats and martial arts, the wolf-eared girl was so powerful that even Westhead dared not challenge her. She used a series of elbow strikes, knee strikes, and double wind-piercing blows, which were as smooth as flowing water and stunned Elavitt.
The Great Tuner, who was bleeding from all seven orifices, was grabbed by the throat by Myvana and lifted up in mid-air, where he was held tightly.
Westhead came over at this time, looked at the great tuner with bloodshot eyes, and said lightly:
"Elevite, you and your group of lawyers have become the biggest obstacle to the development of the Qianlu Royal Court!"
Start a group to investigate the lawyer Lao Deng!
"The intricately connected group of lawyers, through the bond of academic cliques and blood relations, has become a powerful interest group in the royal court. Originally a profession that served as a fulcrum on the path of resonance, it has been turned into an anti-God Ancestor group due to the selfishness of mortals! It is truly too numerous to mention!"
Westhead slammed the table and said sternly: "So we must rectify the chaos and completely eliminate the current lawyer group, so that we can restore order to the Qianlu Royal Court!"
Elivitt gritted his teeth and said, "False accusation! I have never violated traditions! You say I am against the Gods! Show me the evidence!"
"Whether it is a false accusation or not, doesn't Her Majesty, who is being persecuted by you, know it?"
In Westhead's sight, Elorius stood up. The little queen was elegant and dignified, but her eyes were firm and cold. She issued an official decision to Elorvitt:
"I have given you chances, more than once. But Sir Elevit, you have never responded with loyalty, and have ignored my will again and again."
Ilevitt hastily defended himself, "I have always been loyal to the royal court! Loyal to the God-Ancestor! I have never usurped the authority of the Grand Tutor! Your Majesty, according to the duties of the Grand Tutor, it is reasonable for me to replace the young King of Wind as regent when it is necessary!"
"Think it necessary?"
Elorius smiled and tilted his head: "So you can do whatever you want? Including telling me what to do with my marriage and love? Never mind, Weiss is right, the role of a tuner should be changed."
"That's enough! What else is there to say to this traitor?! The most urgent task is to quell this unrest."
Westhead waved his hand and said to his lovers:
"Next, we will arrest and purge the rebels in the royal court. Fortunately, there are not many core members of the Lawyer Group left in the royal court. Mivana, Leixia, I ask you to act together with the Knights of Yonglan. The key is to be fast and not let any news leak out. It is best to control the opponent before he releases the resonance spell."
"Just leave it to us."
The wolf-eared girl patted her plump chest and said with full energy.
Almost at the same time as Ilevitt was captured, the long-prepared elite capture team was immediately dispatched. With the joint efforts of multiple legends and even powerful people above legends, the group of lawyers in the royal court had no room to fight back at all.
They were all powerful men of the Qianlu Royal Court. If they really fought in the Land of Luyin, each of them would be a trouble-maker and could give Westhead a headache. However, in the sudden attack, most of them were killed by the Yonglan Knight Chujian who broke in.
Even if someone realized that something was wrong, without Ilevitt as the leader, the tuners under him had no clear subordinate relationships and could not be organized at all.
After pacifying Ilevit's confidants within the Central Royal Court, Elorius officially issued a notice from the Wind Law Palace, announcing the "high treason" of Grand Tuner Ilevit, and appeased the remaining tuners, saying that no one would be held accountable, but they needed to report to the Wind Law Palace one after another and re-swear allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen.
This caused an uproar in the royal court.
Although the Qianlu Royal Court has always been full of palace conspiracies, it is still shocking that it has reached this level. It has risen to the level of "armed conflict" and "military coup", which is rare in the thousands of years of history of the Royal Court.
In the process of arresting members of the Investigating Lawyers' Rebellion, Elivit was the first to be arrested. After Elivit was arrested, he was tortured the most severely.
