Magic Industrial Age

Loi's fierce gaze did intimidate many people.

After all, his reputation as a genius was quite resounding, and a third-tier Transcendent was still very strong, commanding the respect of most nobles.

However, this place today wasn't just a few insignificant figures, but a gathering of hundreds of nobles and knights!

Naturally, there were those willing to step forward!

A middle-aged noble stood out, his eyes ruthless and his aura fierce. He stared at Loi and said, word by word, "This is the Council of Nobles, a place where nobles discuss matters!"

"This is a sacred and solemn occasion. How can we tolerate a bastard like you running wild here?"

"Don't think that being a third-tier makes you invincible. There are quite a few Transcendent experts here!"

As he spoke, orange Battle Qi rose around him, fluttering like a menacing monster.

However, Loi didn't even glance at him. Instead, two people stepped out from behind Loi.

One was tall and the other burly. One held a longsword, and the other had a knight's greatsword at his waist. Although there was no flashing Battle Qi,

just a few steps forward seemed to spread a fierce aura like a mountain roaring and a sea raging.

The middle-aged man bore the brunt of it, his face turning pale instantly. He instinctively retreated, only to trip over a chair and fall directly onto his seat.

"F-Fourth-tier Calamity?"

It was then that someone recognized their identities and said, "Are those the Flame Sword Saint and the Iron Knight?"

"They are fourth-tier experts supported by the Raymond family. Are they acknowledging that bastard?"

"Look, there's also a fourth-tier Grand Mage behind them. Is that Lady Palacios?!"

A clamor erupted instantly, as if about to overturn the entire conference hall.

Just then, the sound of a gavel striking, 'Bang, bang, bang,' came, and the white-bearded Speaker at the head of the table spoke.

"Loi, Loi Roifitz, what do you want?"

"Don't think that just because you are a bastard, even if you inherit the title of Earl, you can be presumptuous here!"

The old man was quite angry, and he had reason to be angry. As a spokesperson pushed forward by the Carlisle family, he would be dead if he didn't speak up now.

Accompanying his voice, the aura of a fourth-tier expert permeated the area. It didn't directly conflict with the two combat professionals, but only showed its existence.

However, killing intent locked onto Loi, causing his hair to stand on end. The [Fatal Threat] talent was activated, and warnings flashed in his mind.

But the expression on Loi's face didn't change at all, and he didn't even bother to look at those fourth-tier experts.

He turned slightly, looked at the white-bearded Speaker, his eyes seeming to spit fire.

But his voice was calm: "I would like to know, what are you doing here?"

"What are we doing? Don't you know?"

The Speaker sneered, "Of course, we are deciding who will be the next Earl of Raymond!"

"You, a bastard, are not qualified to enter this hall. Today, you even dare to cause a disturbance in the Council of Nobles. I propose that we directly disqualify you from the competition!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"I second it too!"

"..."

One Deputy Speaker after another spoke. The white-bearded old man seemed to have gained great power and said directly: "In that case, someone, throw him out!"

His voice was loud, but not a single guard moved. Are you kidding me?

Those three fourth-tier Calamities, do you really think they are decorations!

If a fight really broke out, this Council would probably be gone, and dozens or hundreds of the nobles present would probably die.

Loi looked at the white-bearded old man sarcastically and said, "Deciding on the next Earl of Raymond, as if you are qualified."

"With me here, when will it be the turn of outsiders to interfere with the Raymond family's title and territory?!"

At this time, before the Speaker could speak, someone else jumped out.

He was a noble about forty years old, well-dressed and with a straight posture.

He was originally standing among a group of heirs. Hearing this, he seemed to want to show himself, so he stepped forward.

"Loi, nobles have noble rules. If you want to become a noble, you must follow the rules."

"Listen to me, leave here. This is not a place for you."

As soon as he spoke, there was a strong sense of an elder scolding a younger generation.

Loi tilted his head slightly, glanced at him, and his expression was a bit strange: "Who are you?"

"Yor Raymond, by the way, I am your uncle!"

After a pause, he added: "Speaking of which, you are the only bloodline left by my elder brother, so live well."

Loi's expression became even stranger, and he said: "Since you said that, I also have a question."

"What is it?"

"When the Raymond family had an accident, even the direct bloodline members who were outside were assassinated. The methods of the Pitying Witch, using dream demons to track and kill by bloodline.

But you don't seem to have encountered it?"

Yor Raymond was stunned and couldn't react immediately. Seeing the strange gazes of the crowd, he suddenly understood.

Then, he became furious!

"Are you saying that I am not a descendant of the Raymond family? How dare you question my bloodline?"

"I don't know what happened back then, but I can be sure that they all had it to some extent.

Only you don't!"

"What makes you say that? Just because of that Pitying Witch, a group of assassins? Maybe they were afraid of the Freud family and didn't dare to take action?"

"No, of course it's not just that!"

Loi finally raised his hand, and a seven-colored light flashed. The holy artifact, the Ring of Truth, appeared on his ring finger.

On the front, the lion pattern shone brightly, as if a deafening lion's roar rang in everyone's ears.

Loi said: "It told me that you do not have the Raymond family's bloodline.

So, if you insist on saying that I am a bastard, then you are at most an adulterous son, even worse than me!"

Wow!

As soon as this was said, the audience was in an uproar. Of course, more people were staring at the Ring of Truth with horrified expressions.

Loi waited for the noise to subside, then looked at the white-bearded Speaker again and said, "This holy artifact, the Ring of Truth, was personally passed on to me by my father, Karl Raymond.

It represents that he handed the Raymond family into my hands and allowed me to inherit the glory of the Lion King!"

"These three fourth-tier experts supported by the Raymond family can testify!"

"So, what are you doing here?"

"You actually want to openly divide the territory of an Earl who already has an owner here?"

This news was even more explosive, almost startling everyone into jumping up.

Even the Speaker showed an agility that was not befitting of his age and almost jumped onto the table.

Of course, there were also those who reacted quickly. Egupotos Lewis shouted directly: "You are faking it? You are a liar!"

"Do you think you can steal the title of Earl and the power of the nobility in front of everyone with such means!"

"Do you think the nobles present will recognize the legitimacy of your inheritance?"

His voice was sharp, even with a bit of a roar.

There was no way around it. He was just a freeman. If he couldn't win the Raymond family's inheritance, he could only be a freeman in the future.

So, he had to fight for it.

But Loi didn't even look at him, just stared at the white-bearded Speaker, smiled, and asked: "Nobles have noble rules, and the right of inheritance of nobles is sacred and inviolable."

"This is the content of the 'Noble Code', Speaker, do you have the courage to say in front of me, in front of so many nobles,

that my right of inheritance does not count! I am not the new Earl of Raymond!"

"I..."

The white-bearded old man's face turned red, but he only uttered one word and couldn't go on, and didn't dare to go on.

Egupotos Lewis was fearless because of his ignorance, but he wasn't!

He clearly knew that the issue of the legitimacy of noble inheritance must not be questioned.

If he dared to speak today, he would definitely be torn apart by other nobles in the future!

What, you, an outsider, still want to interfere with the inheritance of the title in my family?

Are you coveting my family's title?

Come, come, for the glory of the family, we will fight to the death!

That was the result. If it became a big deal, he, the Speaker, would not be at peace even after death.

After hesitating for a long time, he didn't utter a single word after all.

Loi didn't look at him, but looked at the other Deputy Speakers, but none of them dared to meet his eyes, and all silently lowered their heads.

Then came the other nobles, who also dodged away under his gaze.

At this time, some people stood from Loi's perspective and found that he really had the qualifications to be angry.

The reason was simple: the territory and title already had an owner.

You still dare to openly divide my property now. Who wouldn't be angry!

Seeing that no one dared to meet his eyes, Loi couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "Today, write the inheritance documents and send them to the hotel where I am staying."

"Let's go!"

Saying this, he turned and left, as if without the slightest nostalgia.

However, as he stepped out of the Council Hall, another voice came, just a few words, but it described today's situation vividly.

"It's really a ridiculous farce!"
