I rely on myself

Chapter 246 The Shaking Throne

An atmosphere of silence spread throughout the meeting, and everyone present had nothing to say.

Although they had gathered to discuss the magical fluctuations that were affecting the entire world, they really had nothing to discuss in a situation where there was almost no intelligence or information.

At most, he thought the same as the middle-aged man who spoke before, that this matter was closely related to the Marquis Vauban.

Just when the meeting was at a stalemate, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by a beautiful voice.

"excuse me."

The door opened, and a beautiful white woman in her twenties with shining golden hair appeared in everyone's sight. Her temperament was like perfume. She was wearing a top-quality white coat, matched with black boots, and a short knitted dress and trousers under the coat.

Seeing the other party appear, everyone present was a little agitated, but with everyone's cultivation, it did not cause too much fluctuation.

The white woman didn't care about the commotion, or was she used to it? She walked directly into the meeting room and went straight to the chairman's seat.

Upon seeing this, the person who was originally sitting in the chair was awakened, and quickly stood up from his seat and pulled out the chair, acting like a servant.

In response, the white woman said "thank you" in a calm tone, and then sat directly in the chairman's seat. She didn't feel unnatural at all, as if this seat had always belonged to her.

And that is exactly what happened. The white woman who suddenly arrived was none other than Alice Louise of Nafar, the former speaker of the Greenwich Council of Sages and current special advisor, who was known as the "White Witch Princess".

The daughter of the Duke of Godding, commonly known as 'Princess Alice'.

Originally, she was the Speaker of the Council of Sages. Although she stepped down for some reasons and took up the position of special advisor, in reality, she was still the real highest leader in the Council of Sages. That was why this scene happened in the meeting room, and no one objected or had any doubts.

Seeing the appearance of Princess Alice, everyone looked at her as if they had found their backbone. Most people would be uneasy in the face of such a scene, but she accepted it calmly, showing an attitude worthy of a superior.

"Princess Alice, may I ask why you are here? Is it because you have received some relevant information? Please tell me."

Alice had just sat down when someone asked impatiently.

After all, although the impact caused by the magic fluctuation was not great, its huge scale made them feel uneasy, so they were so impatient when Alice just arrived.

Alice understood this, so she didn't show any strange expression. She still had the demeanor of a perfect lady and spoke in a calm tone.

"No problem. It's better to say that there is no need to do this. I came here because I got some relevant information."

After hearing this answer, everyone present was cheered up and became active. As for whether it was a lie, this thought never occurred to anyone.

Because Alice is not only the former chairman of the Council of Sages, but also the strongest shrine maiden. Alice, who has the title of "White Shrine Maiden", is recognized for her strong psychic ability. The reason why the Council of Sages was able to collect information about many godslayers and even related information about their powers, in addition to sending people to investigate, is because of Alice's psychic vision.

That is why Alice has such a high prestige in the Council of Sages.

However, compared to everyone else's excitement, Alice herself showed a wry smile.

"Everyone, please calm down for a moment. I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I may disappoint you. Although I did get some information through my spiritual vision, it's not much, so please be mentally prepared."

Alice's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on them, freezing everyone's excited expressions. After looking at each other, no one spoke in the end. They all looked at Princess Alice, wanting to wait for her to clear up their doubts.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Alice nodded secretly and continued, "Just as you all thought, I got some information through my psychic vision. The strange vision that affected the whole world an hour ago is indeed related to Marquis Vauban. No, to be more precise, it should be related to the magician that Marquis Vauban is looking for."

Hearing this, no one was surprised, because they had already expected this, so they were naturally not surprised.

"The truth of the matter is very simple. Somewhere in Russia, the magician seemed to have performed some kind of secret ritual related to steel and successfully achieved some kind of goal. The magic circles that suddenly appeared all over the world and the magical fluctuations that eventually spread across the globe were all caused by this. Then, Marquis Vauban came after him. I don't know what happened to both parties later. Anyway, after a while, Marquis Vauban reappeared in a very embarrassed state and retreated. The magician also seemed to have left with something. This is the process I saw through my spiritual vision."

After Alice finished telling us what she had seen, there was a moment of silence in the conference room, because these words contained a lot of information and also went against common sense.

After the silence in the conference room lasted for a long time, one of them suddenly spoke up: "Princess Alice, it's not that I don't believe what you said, but it's really a bit too unreasonable, so I want to confirm, are you really right?"

This doubt was also in everyone else's mind, so no one interrupted this question, and everyone looked at Alice, wanting to get her confirmation.

Alice did not show any displeasure at these words that were undoubtedly full of doubt, because even when she first saw this scene, she doubted whether she had seen it wrong, so she knew very well what other people were thinking.

However, after repeated confirmation, facts are facts, so Alice replied with a very sure tone: "Just as you think, although the details are still unknown, the magician did defeat the Marquis of Vauban, who is the king. Although I can't see the identity of the magician, I can be sure that the other party is not a god, nor a king."

After hearing this affirmative answer, they fell silent again, and then, as if suppressed to the extreme, they rebounded. Suddenly, everyone in the conference room started to make noise as if they had abandoned their own manners, with an expression of excitement or horror on everyone's face.

The entire conference room was as noisy as a street market, and there was no sign at all of the upper-class aristocracy that these people had previously possessed.

Alice had no intention of stopping this because she understood why everyone was like this.

"...After so many years of being unshakable, is it inevitable that someone will shake the throne? It's really curious."

Alice murmured in a voice that no one else could hear, and as she spoke, there was an unclear look in her eyes.
