Twelve's attitude towards Speaker of the Stars was very respectful and the etiquette was very thoughtful.
But if you carefully observe his every move, there is a different kind of calmness.
This kind of calmness is definitely not the calmness that a subordinate would have towards a superior. There is no pressure, and there is a calmness hidden between respect and etiquette.
But the Speaker of the Star Council didn't care.
On the surface, Twelve is one of the Sixteen Young Masters of the Stars, and is a follower of Tang Long. His status is far different from his.
But in fact, Twelve was his direct subordinate, and he had been deliberately placed by Tang Long's side since he was a child.
Theoretically, Twelve can not listen to anyone's orders, Twelve will only obey 'his' orders.
'who is he? He is naturally the shadow just now.
"Twelve, you are going to the Port of Darkness." Regarding Twelve, Speaker of the Stars would not beat around the bush and would speak directly if he had anything to say.
"Okay." Twelve answered very directly. As a direct subordinate, he naturally knew that the Lord had come.
"Tang Long needs to be restrained. I can't think of anyone else who is qualified to do this. I can only ask you." Speaker Xingchen used the word 'please'.
"No problem." Twelve nodded.
"Then go ahead." Speaker Xingchen ended the conversation simply.
He would not admit that he, the Speaker of the Stars, was among the top in the world in terms of strength, yet he would feel the slightest bit of pressure facing a young man.
He wouldn't even admit it. In fact, he didn't understand what kind of restraint Tang Long needed from beginning to end
As the most important seedling of that lord, there is no doubt about Tang Long's loyalty to the Star Council. Now in the Port of Darkness, all Tang Long needs to do is to suppress Tang Ling, prove himself, and seize the Dragon Army's legacy. Why do you have to restrain him at this time? Isn't this counterproductive
But Speaker Xingchen didn't dare to ask, he was afraid that the adults would think he was incompetent.
And seeing that Twelve agreed directly, he didn't even ask what was restraining Tang Long? Speaker Xingchen suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
Am I not as good as the young man in front of me
But in this case, Speaker Xingchen would not say it out loud. He just maintained his usual indifference and calmness and nodded to end the conversation.
Twelve bowed out respectfully again.
Speaker Xingchen thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Ask Bian An to wait for me in the ruling room."
**
Battleship Fortress, Judgment Chamber.
This is the place where only the Speaker of the entire Star Parliament can enter and exit freely.
The name is "Judgment", which refers to the place where the Speaker makes the final decision on major matters. It is naturally equivalent to the Speaker's office.
The entire ruling room is black, paved with a precious black metal ore.
Under normal circumstances, the light in the ruling room comes from the 'starlight' that fills the room. It is an artificial starry sky, which is more real, shocking, and beautiful than the starry sky of pre-civilizations.
At this time, the starlight was not turned on, but was replaced by two huge oil lamps with dim light.
The base of the oil lamp is a sculpture of two redeemers.
This kind of light makes the entire ruling room look solemn, depressing, and cold.
Speaker of the Stars sat behind the blood-colored desk made of blood jade ore in the huge ruling room.
Wearing a black robe dotted with stars, and a starry crown, under the starry crown is a cold white-gold mask.
This mask is minimalist in style, with only two holes for the eyes and a slit for the lips.
This is how Speaker of the Stars appears in front of people. No more than ten people in the entire Stars Parliament know his true appearance.
Even Bi'an didn't know what Speaker Xingchen looked like, because he had been wearing this cold mask ever since he first appeared in front of her.
Of course, Bian An doesn't care what kind of face he looks like under the mask.
"Sit down." Speaker Xingchen spoke.
Wearing a white dress, the other side stood in the center of the ruling room and nodded, then moved to the bloody desk and sat down gently.
In just a short period of time, Bian'an's face turned slightly haggard, but even so, it could not hide her unparalleled elegance. Being haggard would only make people pity her more.
Looking at Bi'an in front of him, Speaker Xingchen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had witnessed with his own eyes how Bi'an grew into such a beauty.
Just like the hell poppy, a unique flower that appeared in the Purple Moon era, it seems to condense the beauty of all flowers and is touching.
But when this flower is young, it looks like just an ordinary beautiful flower.
The more mature it becomes, the more charming it becomes, the more poisonous it becomes. When it becomes fully mature, not even a sixth-level Purple Moon warrior dares to approach it easily.
Once you are charmed by this flower and infected by its toxicity, your life will be completely over. It is ten times or a hundred times more powerful than the drugs of pre-civilization.
Therefore, the beauty in front of me is also like this, even looking at it from a distance makes people tremble.
However, Speaker Xingchen will not forget his identity, his mission, and the role he has to play.
He spoke again: "Why are you looking for me?"
"I want to leave the Star Council." Bi'an is a person who will not hesitate once she makes a decision. She is very direct.
"Detachment? Reason?" Speaker Xingchen pretended to be surprised.
Bian'an tightened his lips and said nothing.
"Okay, I actually already know." Speaker Xingchen tapped the table with his knuckles, and then said in a sarcastic tone: "Tang Ling?"
Bi'an glanced at the Speaker, then nodded firmly.
"Haha." Speaker Xingchen smiled sarcastically, but he was not surprised.
People are wonderful existences! Just like in ancient times, if humans were afraid of anything, they would write this fear in their genes and pass it on.
And this kind of inheritance has become something like a shackles on the soul. Human beings thousands of years later will not be able to break out of it, let alone erase it.
It is actually expected that things will be like this on the other side.
"Please, Speaker, let me leave." Bi'an spoke, his voice trembling.
The Speaker once planted the seeds of fear in her heart. Although most of the time, the other side would feel that the Speaker was not intimidating, as if he was a different person, but that seed had taken root too deeply, and she had no way to get rid of it.
It was Tang Ling, everything about Tang Ling was supporting the other side, injecting courage into her heart and making her firm.
"If, if you are not even afraid of death, but just afraid of not being able to get close to you, then I will face everything bravely." Bian'an's hand hidden in the group clenched gently.
"Is it so easy for the Star Council to break away? Don't forget, who brought you to this real world? And who held you in hell and taught you." Speaker of the Stars asked the other side, but he didn't A word of rejection.
"I can't stay any longer." Bi'an raised his eyes, and for the first time, his beautiful but cold eyes were filled with such human determination.
She paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "I don't know how to repay the kindness, let the speaker decide. The only thing I can't give is time."
"Is it because I can't wait to see Tang Ling?" Speaker Xingchen sneered. He stopped tapping the table with his finger joints and pressed his entire palm on the table.
Facing Speaker Xingchen's inquiry, Bi'an was noncommittal.
"Very good, very good. I didn't expect that the Queen that the Star Council had brought back at such a price would betray her for a boy whom she had just met." The Star Speaker shook off his robe and stood up.
He walked around the desk and began pacing the ruling room.
After about ten seconds of this, he stopped, then raised his hand and stretched out a finger.
A small wind blade quickly formed on the finger. The wind blade shot out and landed somewhere on the ceiling, making a crisp 'ding' sound.
As the sound dissipated, the sound of walls being separated resounded in the ruling room.
Soon, the sound stopped.
A twisted crack opened in the wall to the left of the ruling room, looking like a shocking wound.
Judgment is the final decision on important matters, and it also carries a serious sense of trial.
When the judgment has a result, there will naturally be punishment.
Hidden within this ruling room is a punishment room that makes people who know it extremely fearful and will tremble when they hear its name - the Star Punishment Room.
"I have no kindness towards you. Because I have dedicated everything to the council, teaching you, and redeeming you, all for the benefit of the council."
"So, there is a void between you and me."
"You don't have to answer to me if you want to leave. The only thing you have to answer to is the entire parliament."
"The parliament has its rules. If you want to rebel, just follow the rules of rebellion." As he spoke, Speaker Xingchen took the lead and walked into the gap that allowed the two people to pass.
Looking at the speaker's back, Bi'an's expression was indifferent and calm.
Before, when the Speaker said that there is a blank space between you and me, there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.
But when she knew the decision was a punishment, she felt relieved.
What is physical pain? In that hellish world, the other side has become accustomed to ignoring all pain from the body.
Without any hesitation, she followed the back of the Star Speaker and entered the terrifying Star Punishment Chamber with him.
This punishment room is also completely black, and several braziers are the only light sources here. Under the light, you can see that this legendary most terrifying punishment room only has a short corridor.
There are several rooms arranged opposite each other on both sides of the corridor.
The door numbers of the rooms read 'Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth' respectively.
"Do you know the rules? As long as you can successfully stay in any room for twenty minutes and then walk out, the Star Council will let you leave." As he spoke, the Star Speaker raised his hand again, and a roulette wheel appeared from the ceiling. It fell down, and then landed in front of the Speaker.
The Speaker lightly spun the roulette wheel, and then said: "Let's see which punishment chamber fate will let you enter? I hope you can enter the easiest one. My intention is not to punish you, but to follow the rules." Play by the rules.”
As he spoke, the wheel stopped spinning and landed on the word 'wood'.
Speaker Xingchen under the mask couldn't help showing a look of sympathy. The wooden punishment chamber was not the most deadly, but it was the most painful.
It seems that the other side's luck is really not good.
