Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 221 Lords Meeting

Since Bai Hao described the strange desire in his letter as being extremely severe, and Zelianus was indeed a little too restless in the past few days, the meticulous Duke Krey immediately believed Bai Hao's warning to 90%.

After reading the letter, Zelianus immediately took Lina into his arms without any explanation, and then cast several high-level magic spells in succession to clear his mind and soothe his soul.

Soon, Zelianus found that he could not feel that kind of calm, indifferent and cold emotion at all. Instead, the big tent he had set up made Lina feel embarrassed.

The changes in his body were exactly in line with the description in Bai Hao's letter. Although this strong desire did make him and Lina as loving as a newlywed couple these days, it was an abnormality after all, an abnormality that even high-level purification magic could not eliminate.

This matter concerns the life and death of the Krey Lords, and Zelianus cannot afford to be indecisive, so he immediately ordered a lords' meeting of the highest level to be held tonight, and the venue was chosen to be the Campbell family's fortress.

The upper class of Krey Territory was surprisingly efficient under the leadership of Zelianus. Not long after Bai Hao's letter was delivered, groups of small nobles and some family patriarchs arrived in front of the fortress in twos and threes.

Soon, the conference room in Campbell Fortress was full of people, and Zelianus, the lord of Krey, sat next to Bai Hao. At this moment, people were still coming in one after another, and the atmosphere was quite heated.

Zelianus observed the noble Saint of the Bright Moon calmly, and was especially surprised when he saw Olmya standing behind Bai Hao like one of his bodyguards.

You have to know that this is a top figure in the Central Plains Sect, and also a legendary wizard of the elemental class. Such a person is willing to stand behind a viscount of the magic class in an inferior manner. This is a situation that has never happened in the previous meetings.

Thinking of this, Zelianus couldn't help but pay more attention to Bai Hao. Although Duke Krey also valued Bai Hao before, it was more because of the Campbell family behind him.

And now, Bai Hao, who can make a Saint Maiden of Bright Moon bow her head in disdain, has become a person who can stand on equal footing with Zelianus. In a sense, the Duke even has to use honorifics to address Bai Hao.

Most of the people in the conference room were smart people who had lived for a long time. As soon as they entered the room, they noticed the positions of Bai Hao and Olmya. One was sitting and the other was standing, one in front and one behind, and Duke Krey was sitting in the same row with Bai Hao.

This seemingly random position has already been interpreted by these shrewd nobles into dozens of meanings, but no one, including Bai Hao, knows that this is actually just a habit of Olmia.

Generally speaking, this kind of sitting and discussing things that is very brain-intensive is attended by the calm sister Mia, but previously in the room, Bai Hao's purification experiment made Olmia consume too much of her mind, so this meeting is now attended by another soul, Olmia.

Compared with sitting for a long time, this saint soul who loves sports and has a lively personality prefers to stand, and being close to Bai Hao makes Olmia happy physically and mentally, so the saint naturally stands behind Bai Hao.

"dong dong"

Seeing that all the top figures of Kled had arrived, Zelianus tapped lightly on the wooden table in front of him, and the meeting room, which had been a little noisy, immediately became quiet.

Since Zelianus did not hate complicated meeting etiquette as much as Elsa, Duke Krey still gave an opening speech for nearly five minutes despite the urgent situation.

This lengthy speech, which seemed meaningless to Bai Hao, was a symbol of the Duke's noble status, a respectable social greeting, and the indispensable soul of the meeting in Zelianus' eyes.

After every respectable minor noble stood up and praised Duke Krey, the meeting finally began in a real sense, and Bai Hao was finally able to stand up and speak.

Bai Hao didn't have that much nonsense. He immediately chanted a spell and cast a low-level purification spell. After the silver-white light filled the entire conference room, Bai Hao said loudly: "Everyone, the Kled Lord is being affected by some evil force..."

"All the civilians in Kled, including you and me here, are controlled by this terrible force! If we don't find out the cause or limit it... we may all fall into an endless abyss and become the most loyal followers of the evil demon!"

After seeing that everyone present had a solemn look on their faces, Bai Hao once again said solemnly: "I am the only one who has descended from the Moon Goddess Orevia. I am the incarnation of the Moon God's will and the Moon God's will. Bathed in this divine light, you should have gotten rid of the evil thoughts in your hearts. Now think carefully about everything you have experienced in the past few days!"

"Desire is like a demon in the heart. If we let it run its course, it will wipe out kindness and shame. It is obviously urgent to solve this matter. If we are not careful, we will be devoured by desire and there will be no recovery..."

Bai Hao had learned some public speaking skills in his previous life. He used the audience's own personal experiences and the sect's alarmist rhetoric to stir up everyone's emotions, and then brought up the huge issue of the Bright Moon Goddess to further strengthen his persuasiveness.

Before introducing an important point that you want to emphasize, you should step back and let your words continue to ferment amid the discussions of the crowd, so that the atmosphere in the meeting room reaches its highest point. At that time, what you say will become the will of the crowd.

"Yes, I am already over sixty years old, but I was still full of energy last night..."

"It turns out that there is a reason for my restlessness these days!"

Many nobles also tried the purification magic on the spot, and then exclaimed: "It really is as ineffective as Viscount Campbell said!"

"This is horrible. Is this some kind of curse magic?"

"No wonder I've been staying out all night in the brothel these past few days..."

"Old man, why do I remember that you were like this before the destruction of Kled Territory?"

"Humph! You still haven't settled the score for snatching someone from me yesterday at Yihong Courtyard!"

"You already have one foot in the coffin, and you still want to be with three whores at the same time..."

It seemed as if some strange dispute was mixed in with the heated discussion, but Bai Hao did not think much about it. Seeing that everyone had almost finished discussing, Bai Hao immediately pressed his hands in the air, and the discussion soon quieted down.

At this moment, in this conference room, Bai Hao was the second person besides Duke Krey who could immediately quiet down these proud nobles.

Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Bai Hao said solemnly, "This fire of desire that permeated the Kled Territory only appeared after the Abyss appeared!"

"Therefore, I suspect that the terrifying existence beneath the abyss is the root cause of our burning desire!"
