Arcane Age

Sophie briefly explained to Xi Wei the development history of the Creteil family: "The Creteil family is undoubtedly one of the families that supports the royal family the most, and this family has a very good image in the eyes of the king, nobles and citizens. , the Crozier family is still considered by many people to be the king's lucky ministers, and there is a big difference between the two."

After all, Sophie is the most powerful person who aspires to become a god, and has a very thorough understanding of the French political landscape: "The arbitral tribunal will be attended by fifteen nobles. They will listen to the arguments of both sides and choose the side they support. !”

"This is the first round of rulings. If one party is dissatisfied and there are more than five supporters of the dissatisfied party, they can appeal. This time it will be decided by three highly respected nobles!"

"You can also skip this round and directly apply for arbitration by His Majesty the King. That will be the final ruling, just like the one I have in my hand!"

"Then how are the nobles who attend the arbitration selected?" Xi Wei quickly asked. This is the key to the problem.

"The Noble Heraldry Bureau will issue an announcement and post it in the Heraldry Bureau as soon as it decides on the establishment of the arbitration tribunal. Nobles who are interested in participating in this arbitration can sign up to participate." Sophie explained: "This time, whether it is Klose Both the Er family and the "Paari Daily" are the focus of many people's attention, so there must be many nobles applying to participate in the arbitration, and the Duke of Creteil will select suitable people from them to form the noble arbitration panel."

"Then I'm curious, how did the little Baron Murdoch win thirty years ago?" This kind of ruling method is undoubtedly very biased towards the party with high authority. The gap between the Baron and the Marquis is so big.

"Baron Murdoch received exactly five votes in the first round of rulings!" A mysterious smile appeared on Sophie's face: "In the second round of rulings, the three highly respected nobles received one more vote, so in the third round, it was Appeal before the king!”

"The influence of this arbitration case is getting bigger and bigger with each round of arbitration, and the final verdict is even more shocking. Since then, the power of the big nobles has been restrained, and the rise of small nobles and businessmen has been faster! "

Obviously, Charles VII was a wise and capable king. He manipulated this arbitration case, which ultimately attacked the "aristocratic family" and fostered the "poor family".

But thinking that the current Marquis of Crozier was the sealmaster of King Charles VIII, Xi Wei had a headache again. He simply turned his attention to the peerless beauty in front of him, hoping that she could help him find a better solution. Good note.

"It's almost impossible for you to win in the first round of the ruling. The key is to get five votes in support, otherwise there will be no possibility of appeal!" Sophie Matilde stretched out her left hand in front of Xi Wei, with five fair and slender fingers. His fingers waggled.

"I will arrange a meeting for you with a Montreal lawyer who is an expert in law and arbitration and one of the compilers of the 1765 edition of the King's Code."

Xi Wei nodded. It was true that Sophie had done her best here. He had no foundation in Paali, the royal capital. It was better to listen to the opinions of professionals on this matter.

"From a purely legal perspective, the Murdoch family unilaterally sold the Paali Daily News to Mr. Seavey without any notification, which is obviously a trampling on the priorities of the Crozier family. If Crozier If the family insists, then the most likely scenario is that the contract signed by Seavey and the Murdoch family will be invalidated, and the two parties will re-bid, with the Crozier family enjoying priority!" The Montreal lawyer is a personable old man who is a professor at the French Academy of Law. , legal authority.

Seavey's original purchase of "Paali Daily" was not high. After all, "Paali Daily" at that time had become a tabloid with less than a thousand copies sold every day. It even ceased publication because of old Murdoch's illness. .

But in just one week, "Paali Journal" has directly become the highest-selling newspaper in France, and its value has increased almost a hundred times!

Once the contract is ruled invalid, it will be difficult for Xiwei to get back the ownership of the newspaper even if he pays a hundred times the price, because the Marquis of Crozier is no longer the only one who is eyeing the newspaper!

"What are the express provisions regarding priority in the King's Code?" Xi Wei asked.

"The "King's Code" mainly contains the king's decrees, criminal laws, etc., but not much about commercial law. There is no priority clause in it." The Montreal lawyer pushed up his glasses: "But in the current case arbitration, priority has been There is no precedent, so what I say is very likely!"

"But this case is in the Arbitration Tribunal of the Noble Heraldry Bureau, not in the Grand Court!" Sophie suddenly interrupted: "We only need to get five members of the Noble Arbitration Forum."

The Montreal lawyer closed the document and shrugged: "This is exactly what I hate, because you don't know the thoughts of the nobleman who will appear at the arbitration table at that time. He may vote against you because he doesn't like you. ticket!"

"Mr. Montreal, I need you to help Mr. Seavey draft a speech for the arbitral tribunal and strive for as many benefits as possible!" Sophie showed a mysterious smile.

"Yes, I am professional in this area, Duke Mathilde!" The Montreal lawyer nodded.

When the Montreal lawyer left the Rose Castle on a carriage with a briefcase under his arm, Sophie sat down next to Xi Wei: "The Montreal lawyer is a member of my vassal family, and his professionalism and loyalty can be trusted. But these are all It’s secondary. The members of the noble arbitration bench will decide the day before the arbitration case, which is tomorrow. Although it will not be announced to the public, I think Xi Wei you should be able to get the list!"

At this moment, Xi Wei suddenly moved slightly, he stopped, and Marquis Crozier contacted him again!

"Dawei, my brother. I have applied for arbitration at the Noble Heraldry Bureau. The list of arbitration seats will be out tomorrow. Please help me find out the specific candidates in advance!"

"No problem, my brother!" Xi Wei responded.

After breaking the contact, Xi Wei had a bright smile on his face.

"I heard you right, is that Marquis Crozier?" Sophie seemed to want to laugh, but she still held it back.

"Heroes see the same thing!" Xi Wei found that after he killed and replaced David, all the troubles from the Crozier family became no longer troubles.

Although the French Magician's Guild has deployed magic surveillance throughout the entire royal capital of Paali, the mind mage can evade the magic surveillance because he only uses mental power instead of magic power!
