Duke Morodian, seated on the right side of the Congress, was also a bit bewildered.

He hadn't expected Loki McCarthy to be so bold, disregarding public opinion and choosing the most popular approach.

Although, in the long run, the Protoss Empire would be wary and guarded against the collusion between Loki McCarthy and the Batian Theocracy, Loki McCarthy's response might also ruin his career in the Protoss Empire.

But at this moment, people had turned into spectators!

"What's with all the timidity? After today, if people don't trust me to be the Imperial Governor, then I simply won't be it."

Loki looked at Morodian from afar, his gaze unwavering.

"When villains are in power, and there is no harmony, that is what truly goes against my heart."

Loki said, word by word.

His sincere gaze and words made it impossible to doubt the fervor in his heart, and unconsciously made people willing to try and consider whether he was truly capable of matching his words with his deeds.

After speaking, Loki looked at Sigrid frankly.

Although Sigrid didn't know if her face was red at the moment, she no longer dodged and looked at Loki seriously.

She was very satisfied.

The Holy Son would always make the choice that best suited her heart.

In an instant, Morodian seemed to understand why Cardinal Ascensio was so angry during the Cardinal Deathmatch.

The Batian Theocracy and the Batian Holy Son were insulting their opponents in a very novel way.

The hall was filled with noise and discussion, and the places throughout the Helrom Empire with screen broadcasts were also filled with rising and falling waves of sound!

Even the Ice Witch, far away in the royal capital's temple of Esther Tellen, tapped her head.

Why was her intelligence network always lagging behind?

Loki McCarthy and the Batian Theocracy really had a relationship?

She thought Loki McCarthy and Hyperion had a chance.

Wait.

Why couldn't that high-ponytail girl in the Batian Hierarch's seat keep her expression under control?

The other high priests were almost opening champagne, but she looked like she was about to lose it, looking left and right, not knowing what was happening.

That honest child's appearance was even more like Hyperion.

"Hyperion wouldn't be so wild as to have a love triangle with the Batian Theocracy, would she?"

The Ice Witch murmured.

But the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her divergent thinking was too much, and she should trust her intelligence network more.

In the Congress Hall, the noise continued for an unknown amount of time, and the entire atmosphere had shifted a bit, until Grand Sage Isis's light cough made everyone realize that they should be quiet.

The Imperial dignitaries held their breath and sat up straight again, waiting for a while.

Obviously, the sudden confrontation between Loki McCarthy and Morodian Berenhalde had not yet ended.

Loki McCarthy stood up, looked at Grand Sage Isis, and bowed in salute.

"I request Grand Sage Isis to check if there is an Abyss Black Worm on Duke Berenhalde, or if he just happens to be missing such an eighth-order epic card slot. Similarly, he may also have a high-order epic equipment on him that can cast black chains."

Then, he pointed to Duke Morodian and said.

These words made Duke Morodian, who was still slightly displeased, unable to help but laugh.

He thought Loki McCarthy was so clever.

In the end, he actually opened his mouth with such a sigh-worthy nonsense.

Anyone who understood Imperial law knew that this request had no possibility of being granted.

"I have no right to forcibly search an Imperial Duke."

Isis looked at Loki with a complicated expression and replied.

Although she understood what he was thinking, and could further help them get closer to the truth, it did not comply with procedures and rules.

"Duke Morodian, could you please voluntarily show it to Lady Isis in private?"

Loki looked at Morodian again and asked.

Everyone present understood.

A national pillar like Duke Morodian could not possibly make his trump cards public.

After all, that would be equivalent to weakening the Protoss Empire's core combat power.

But if only Lady Isis saw it alone, this problem could be avoided.

"Mr. Loki, how much do you disrespect me that you would instruct me to do such a thing here? I believe that no eighth-order powerhouse would agree to such an insulting request!"

Duke Morodian rebuked Loki angrily.

Now they seemed to have torn their faces apart, and their words left no room for maneuver.

However, hearing Duke Morodian's reasonable attitude and answer, Loki finally revealed a smile as if he had succeeded, or as if he was amused by the other party's amateurish mind.

"If Duke Berenhalde isn't guilty, why doesn't he dare to let Miss Isis search him? Would she do something to harm the Empire, betray your information?"

Loki looked at Duke Morodian with confusion and quickly asked the question.

"So Duke Berenhalde doesn't trust Grand Sage Isis at all. Does he think everyone is a traitor? After all, you can even bite your own daughter and call her a traitor."

As he spoke, he looked at Isis and sighed, full of disappointment at the Protoss Empire's lack of unity.

Duke Morodian's face finally froze.

Because in the room.

Everyone's eyes.

Only vaguely wrote one thought: They hoped Morodian would prove his innocence.

Morodian didn't understand why this Loki McCarthy was so skilled in using Wilfordism, every sentence could be a trap, linking one to another to smear him, until he was deadlocked, forcing him to prove his innocence!

The real expert was always directing the opponent.

Even Grand Sage Isis looked at Morodian with a little more displeasure.

"Absurd, I have no obligation to endure your insults."

Duke Morodian got up with a cold face, preparing to leave Franklin Hall.

He knew that his momentum was over today.

The collapse of everything began from the moment Ascensio was defeated.

But unlike Ascensio, he, who was in the shadows, had absolute initiative.

Neither Loki nor Sigrid could convict him!

As long as he acted in a reasonable manner, no one had the right to stop him. In this Protoss Empire, whether he wanted to leave or stay was up to him.

Seeing that Morodian was about to leave, Sigrid looked at Loki, her eyes seeming to ask, "Are you just going to let him go like this?"

Loki spread his hands slightly.

Being able to get to this point today, breaking the compromise, was already their limit, because they really didn't have any substantive evidence to arrest Duke Morodian.

But he had always believed in a principle.

Those who gain the Dao will receive much assistance; those who lose the Dao will receive little assistance.

"..."

Beside the monarch's seat in the Congress Hall, Isis was already a little hesitant.

Her intuition was uncertain whether it was the right choice to let Duke Morodian leave now.

But out of principle, she couldn't break the rules.

Duke Morodian stood in front of the door of the Congress Hall, no one dared to stop him, his hand was placed on the door and he slowly pushed it open, turning his head to cast a cold and meaningful look at Loki McCarthy and Sigrid, it was a warning and a new declaration of war.

They were only at the end of the first round.

The real game had just begun.

At this moment, the door of the Congress Hall was opened faster, it seemed that not only Duke Morodian pushed it open.

But someone on the outside of the door also pulled it open.

Standing outside the door was a group of figures wearing special regulation Imperial officer uniforms, they were not ordinary Imperial soldiers, but officers from the Magic Special Forces.

The leading senior officer of the Imperial military blocked Duke Morodian's path, his military rank was actually Imperial Major General, and the aura of a martial artist on his body was also at the seventh level.

His appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"What does this mean? Major General Carroll?"

Duke Morodian stared at the officer and asked, the officer raised his hand, not allowing him to pass.

The military officer did not respond to Duke Morodian's question, he took some documents from his subordinate, with a serious expression, and looked towards the interior of the Congress Hall.

"Duke Morodian, we have received the real-name accusation from Associate Professor Sidore Arundel, he also provided many materials, which were the evidence that Duchess Chloris had placed with Associate Professor Sidore before she was placed under house arrest. These shocking materials prove Duchess Chloris's crimes of impersonating and replacing the Duke for a period of time, and confirm the fact that you disappeared for unknown reasons during a very suspicious period of time, and then returned again recently. You are also suspected of treason, please accept our investigation."

Major General Carroll's voice was sonorous and powerful.

He announced that, based on this evidence, the military would formally arrest Duke Morodian.

At the same time, combined with the new clues provided by the Batian branch, Major General Van Luyk's disappearance and the massacre in the northern border, Duke Morodian was highly suspected.

The momentum in the Congress Hall instantly reached a boiling point.

The nobles and ministers were shocked by this sudden turn of events, and also felt the drastic change in the atmosphere in the hall.

"Grand Sage, can you please assist us in controlling Duke Morodian?"

Seeing that Duke Morodian did not move, the officer asked Grand Sage Isis.

Finally.

Isis was no longer sitting lazily.

"Morodian, what do you have to say?"

She stood up barefoot from the high-backed chair, and the magical aura on her body surged, the ground and walls of the Congress Hall emitted a bright light.

This was the Grand Sage's reinforced protective barrier, and she was ready to fight Duke Morodian.

She hoped that Morodian was not a problem.

But if he really had a problem, even if she was very disappointed, she would have to accept this fact.

"..."

At this morning hour, thick clouds were constantly passing over the sky of Helrom, and the light and shadow on the dome made Duke Morodian's face become flickering and dark.

He stopped his original intention to move forward at any time, looked at the officer, wanting to say something, but in the end did not make any sound.

At this moment, the power structure of the Protoss Empire seemed to have undergone earth-shattering changes.

"Sidore... Arundel... I really underestimated you..."

Duke Morodian lowered his head, his lips moved slightly, and his whispers flowed out gently like a trickle.

At an angle where no one could see, the corners of his mouth gradually raised, revealing a meaningful smile, his voice was low and full of provocative meaning.

"I want to leave, can you keep me here?"

As Morodian turned his head, in that instant, the originally bright lights in the Congress Hall became dim, the golden decorations in the hall turned into a deep dark purple, as if the colors of the world were all reversed, and the soul shock made everything in everyone's field of vision turn into a strange dark purple!

The terrifying magical pressure emanating from Morodian at this moment made many dignitaries on the seats feel suffocated and desperately terrified from their instincts.
