Volume 5 Pearls Chapter 488: White-scaled dragon!
The person in charge of the History and Ritual Association in the royal city retreated dozens of meters in an instant, returned to the front of his own association members, knelt on one knee with a thud, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The chief priests of the Star Sect headed by the Silver Dragon Witch Blaise, the nuns of the Moon Church headed by the Chief Servant of Selma, the Hailing Group and the Madman School, all frowned and stared at Eberhard, whose face was filled with pain.
What exactly happened?
Most of them failed to notice anything. Jackspeight had clearly not touched him, but Eberhard screamed at the same time as Houston, as if he had a sudden illness.
"Damn it... Damn it! It's a damage-linking mythical power!"
Eberhard never expected that he would be caught silently and suffer a loss as a newly promoted saint in front of so many powerful people of the same level.
He slowly stood up and looked at his chest in fear.
Four symmetrical, fist-sized holes are clearly visible!
It’s like... being bitten by a giant snake!
But this was not the reason why everyone was solemn, but that the blood flowing from the wound had already coagulated, and was replaced by white crystals as bright as diamonds, and was spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It seemed to cover Eberhard entirely!
“Is this myth pollution?!”
Silver Dragon Witch Blaise said in surprise.
Then He shook His head again, denying Himself.
“Impossible… Eberhard is also a Sequence Four Saint, and his own mysterious resistance is extremely strong. Powers of the same level cannot do this!”
"It is an active tissue that contains high concentrations of energy..."
Hernandez, the knowledgeable old man from the Madman School, spoke in a deep voice and expressed his own views.
"Scholar Hernandez, do you recognize what this is?"
Blaise asked, frowning.
The other high-ranking officials all cast their eyes over.
However, the thin old man shook his head and sighed.
"I haven't seen it before... but this kind of crystal is quite scary. Such a degree of corrosiveness is unheard of. Once contaminated, it will probably be extremely difficult to deal with."
After hearing His comments, the high-ranking officials present took a deep breath, and their eyes turned more cautious when they looked at the young man in the black hat.
If they were only slightly surprised at the newly promoted young saint at the beginning, then with Houston's defeat, they were truly surprised. Now, seeing Eberhard's miserable condition, they even felt a sense of absurdity in their hearts.
If it is not necessary, I really don't want to make enemies with them...
Wow!
Eberhard's face was extremely gloomy.
The sound of pages flipping could be heard in the surrounding space. The outline of His body was like a grotesque phantom that was being pulled away, constantly retracing.
Buzz!
When the outline returned again, Eberhard seemed to have found himself more than ten minutes ago, overlapping with his state at that time.
However……
Eberhard's pupils shrank sharply.
The four tooth marks on His chest disappeared, but the beautiful and brilliant white crystals, like the handprints of the god of death, had covered His chest!
"Eberhard is in big trouble."
Hernandez adjusted his glasses and said in a deep voice.
Even if the old man didn't say anything, those in higher positions could see it.
Eberhard tried his best, and the power of myth overflowed, but those white crystals were still like maggots on the tarsal bones, constantly "breeding and spreading". They seemed to devour Eberhard's power, and they seemed to be more vigorous, while His face became even paler.
Snap, Snap…
A slow and rhythmic sound of footsteps was heard.
Everyone turned to look and saw that the young man in the black hat had returned to his original appearance and walked towards them with a silver cane.
He smiled, took off his hat, nodded to everyone, said hello, then slowly looked at Eberhard and said lightly:
"The grudge between Houston and I is a personal one. It can also be said to be a conflict within the Generous Council. Outsiders have no right to interfere... Sorry, President Eberhard, I didn't expect it to affect you."
Looking at Eberhard's weak appearance, Chen Lun had a clear understanding of the strength of the "Crystal Cells" in his heart and felt particularly happy.
Relying on his own mythical creature characteristic of "Man of Destiny", Eberhard was powerless to resist the battle of mysterious weight, and was instantly implicated by [Mythical Magic: Co-Reaction] and parasitized by the "Crystal Cells".
But he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he extended a hand toward Eberhard.
The latter raised his head with difficulty, his facial expression changing, and finally he forced a smile and shook hands with Chen Lun.
"I am the one who should say sorry, Your Majesty Jackspeight."
"It's okay, the matter has been resolved, right?"
Chen Lun chuckled.
Eberhard wanted to nod, but found that his neck became extremely stiff, and when he exerted force, it made a horrible cracking sound.
"Of course..."
He said with difficulty.
Chen Lun looked at the president meaningfully.
Hiss…
A sound like a snake spitting out its tongue rose quietly, and the white crystals all over Eberhard's body began to shrink until they disappeared.
Seeing this, Eberhard let out a long sigh, with a deep fear flashing in his eyes.
How much is this guy hiding...
Letting go of his hand, Chen Lun took the time to look at the prompt that popped up on the panel, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
[Kill Houston (real identity), the Governor of the Generous Council! Gain 2 million experience points, 1 blessing point, and 20 regional reputation points! ]
[188 regional reputation points have been accumulated! 1 more epic reputation point has been obtained! (Current epic reputation point: 6 points)]
[Epic Legend Event Impact: The news that you killed the conspiracy saint Houston in a one-on-one fight will gradually spread from the Royal City area to all parts of the Trisur Empire - the name of the new saint "White Scale Dragon" Jackspeter will resound in the mysterious realm! ]
"Unfortunately, Houston's body was chopped up by the String of Sadness, and the remains were decomposed into five pieces of high-level conspiracy matter..."
Chen Lun shook his head secretly.
"I remember that I killed three saint incarnations of the Rotev family before and took three copies... Now there are eight copies in total. When the time comes, hand them all over to the Speaker."
After all, he killed his colleagues in the Senate, and when the Speaker and others come back, he will have to give an explanation to justify himself.
Chen Lun pinched his temples with a headache.
…
…
…
The royal city of Tourmaline Closter.
Sun Palace, Royal Council Hall.
At this moment, the huge conference table was empty. In addition to Prince Dazzlet sitting in the main seat, there were only a few judges from the Imperial Inquisition sitting on the left side. They were dressed in military uniforms and looked straight ahead. On the right side were three archbishops of the Church of the Sun, led by Terrence, who also kept silent with stern faces.
The rest of the seats were empty.
The scene was dead silent for a moment, even a little awkward.
The general manager Babaye was standing aside, wiping his sweat off his forehead. He would glance towards the gate from time to time, but would always look away in disappointment.
Prince Dazzlet had a blank expression on his face, but his eyes revealed anger. He knocked on the table and asked in a deep voice:
“Babaye, I want to know why no one from the Church of the Seven Gods came except His Majesty Terrence…? Are you trying to put pressure on me ?!”
"Absolutely not! Your Highness!"
Babaye hurried over and bent down to comfort her.
"Perhaps there was an accident and the church leaders were delayed on the way... How about I go and take a look?"
The prince took a deep breath and was about to speak when the door of the conference hall was slowly pushed open.
The high-ranking members of the Church of the Seven Gods remained silent and walked in one after another, as if they had made an appointment. The situation was quite strange.
The prince narrowed his eyes and watched the scene, smiling coldly.
Only Chief Judge McCaughrean and Archbishop Terrence seemed to have noticed something. They glanced and stared at the lone young man in the black hat in the crowd with a thoughtful look.
After everyone was seated, the prince looked around and slowly asked:
"Everyone, can you explain to me why you were all late for nearly 20 minutes? And now you are here to attend the meeting at the same time?"
“…”
No one present spoke.
Prince Dazzlet noticed the cold gazes from the Cult of the Stars and the Church of the Moon, and veins faintly appeared on his forehead.
He turned and looked at the seats of the History and Ritual Association nearby.
"President Eberhard, can you tell me?"
"Um……"
Eberhard stopped spinning his pen and pondered.
He glanced calmly at the young man in the black hat on the other side of the conference table, coughed and said:
"Your Highness, there was a small accident on the way."
Dazzlet was silent for a few seconds.
"What little accident?"
" Governor ...had a conflict with Governor Jackspeight, and they fought in the spirit world."
Eberhard said in a deep voice.
The prince frowned, and then he noticed that Jack was the only one sitting alone in the seat of the Council of Generosity, and Houston was nowhere to be seen.
He took a deep breath, confusion evident in his eyes.
"Two people fighting?"
What's the point of fighting between a high-ranking person and a mid-sequence extraordinary person?
Even if Jack was strong enough to defeat the Saint Incarnation, Houston wasn't the only Saint Incarnation present ... Not only was Jack not severely punished, but now he was sitting there like nothing had happened?!
"Speak clearly!"
The prince said impatiently.
Eberhard then sighed.
"The Houston Governor is dead."
"Um?!"
The prince's eyes suddenly widened and he was stunned.
Even the chief judges and Terrence and others from the Church of the Sun showed surprised expressions.
"What did you say...Houston is dead?!"
The prince's frown deepened.
Eberhard nodded slightly and said cautiously:
"His Majesty Jack beat Governor Houston to death on the spot..."
“?!”
The prince stood up suddenly.
The high-backed chair rubbed against the ground, making a sharp sound.
The faces of the chief judges and Archbishops of the Sun, including Terrence, suddenly changed slightly, because they heard Eberhard's honorific address to Jackspeight as... Your Majesty? !
"You got promoted, Jack?"
The prince said in doubt.
"Yes, your highness."
Chen Lun also took off his hat, slowly stood up, and said with a smile.
"Now I will be responsible for representing the Council of Generosity and participating in your meeting."
