Chapter 228: The Guilty Messenger
"Mia-Mia, what's the matter with me, Mia-Mia...... Snoring. ”
A fat man wearing a pig-faced mask was holding a plate of pastries, and was eating energetically, when he suddenly heard Friedman's attack, and immediately became unhappy: "Aren't you the latest?"
"A mistake is a mistake, and after making a mistake, you can find all kinds of reasons to excuse yourself, or even blame others for your mistakes...... This is a very childish act. A witch in a cat-face mask said in a mocking tone: "Members of any organization who do not have the courage to take responsibility have no nurturing value." ”
When Friedman heard this, his body suddenly froze, but he couldn't help but associate the witch's words with what happened to him. It's just that he didn't feel Daigo's empowerment, but because the witch's words were too straightforward, he felt ashamed of being stripped naked and thrown in public.
Sensing the fluctuation of Lucifer's breath, a wizard wearing a fox mask hurriedly interrupted: "The fallen angel is just habitually refuting, and it is not meant to be offended......"
The level of this mud harmony was so bad that Friedman couldn't help but take a closer look at Mammon in the fox mask, trying to judge whether he was picking things up or making a mistake.
Mammon apparently immediately realized the inappropriateness of her words, coughed dryly, and emphatically said, "Don't waste your time on such a trivial matter...... Time is precious. Let's get down to business. ”
"Like what to eat at noon today. The fat man in the pig-face mask chuckled, picked up a piece of matcha cake from his plate, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Friedman glanced at Beelzebub in disgust.
Even if he knew that Beelzebub represented gluttony, and that the fat man's black robe might be an anorexic dwarf, it didn't mean that he allowed someone to eat at the conference table. This is the basic requirement of etiquette for a nobleman under the moon.
In a way, his dislike of Beelzebub is very much in line with his identity as 'Lucifer': arrogance.
"You called me here today...... Are you going to just talk about it?"
Friedman retracted his disgusted gaze, shuffled his heavy steps, sat heavily in his place, and asked in a hoarse voice.
This sentence caused the other six people in the conference room to look at him.
"So, didn't you summon us today?" Samael, wearing the wolf-head mask, asked in a low voice.
"Huh?" Friedman's brow furrowed under Lucifer's mask.
Although he didn't like Samael's wolf-head mask, he didn't think of Samael as a fool. Since Samael said that, and no one objected, it meant that the other six had already briefly discussed the issue before he entered the door.
That is, this rally was not posted by any of the seven of them?
Thinking of this, Friedman's mood was a little depressed: "I do have some thoughts that I would like to talk about here...... But not today. If I had called a meeting, even if it was out of politeness, I would have been the first to show up. ”
Hearing his answer, the conference room fell silent for a moment.
It wasn't any of the seven people who called the meeting, it meant that the guy everyone didn't like popped up.
The candles hanging upside down from the ceiling burn slowly, and the candlelight is downward, outlining a beautiful spindle flame. A drop of unburned wax slowly seeped flames along the wick, and when it was about to drip down, it was pulled by an invisible force and thrown back into the bottom of the wick. This caused the candlelight to flicker slightly.
At the moment when the candlelight flickered, a figure appeared silently in the center of the conference table, sitting cross-legged in front of the dry starry sky.
This figure wore a smooth white mask, no eyes, nose and mouth, and looked like a large duck egg that had been washed cleanly, but in a certain corner of the duck egg, there was a small seven-pointed star mark, which looked extremely inconspicuous.
"Yo, everyone...... It's all here~~"
The Faceling waved his hand and said in a self-righteous tone, "I'm sorry...... On the way here, I helped a baby fishman back into the water, wasting a little bit of time. ”
Friedman propped up his bat mask's chin, looked gloomily at the figure in the center of the conference table, and said in a hoarse voice, "Get down......"
"That's not what a bat spirit should say," the Faceling said, holding up a finger to his lips and smiling lowly, "So, I'm guilty of you...... Shut up. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Friedman felt an invisible restraint appear in his mouth, sealing his mouth firmly.
The little jazz of the Cullen family showed an indignant look in his eyes, but he did not make any more excessive moves after all. Because the guy in the duck egg mask does have the right to do so.
As a secret student organization, although the Seven Deadly Sins has only seven official members, in addition to the seven members, there is also a 'guilty envoy' who is responsible for overseeing the seven deadly sins, who is responsible for examining the seven deadly sins for violations of the 'rules'.
What the rules are, Friedman is not quite exact. Theoretically, in this secret society organized by the students, they could do anything, including trading human souls and buying and selling fox slaves, even though they had not done any of the above.
He only knew that this criminal envoy had a lot of energy, could influence the policy formulation of the First University, the arrangement of the student union, and could also get many contraband strictly restricted by the Wizarding Alliance from outside the school, and he also had more or less connections with many hunting teams in the New World.
At the same time, the guilty envoy has a veto power over any external action of the seven deadly sins, that is, no member of the seven deadly sins can act externally in the name of the organization without the consent of the guilty envoy.
This makes the 'Guilty Messenger' look like the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins from a certain angle.
God knows why the generation that created the Seven Deadly Sins invited such a big Buddha outside the organization, Lucifer's classmate who was silenced thought angrily, and at the same time a thought came to his heart, wondering if the guilty envoy could help him get the position of Augustus.
After seeing that there was no more noise in the conference room, he raised two fingers again:
"There are two things that have summoned you here today. ”
"The first thing is closely related to everyone...... The fish-man tribe has been making trouble for too long, and the conflict between Jiuyou and Alpha is getting more and more serious. ”
"It's not good...... Very bad. ”
"It's a school, a place where people come to learn. Magic is fun and fun...... So, I think it's time to put an end to this farce in school. ”
"I know that among you here, there are alpha people and nine people. And among the students on both sides, you must have some prestige and some ability. ”
"I want you to use these skills to maintain the stability and unity of the school...... And not the other way around. ”
Listening to the rhetoric of that figure, Friedman suddenly had a feeling that absurdity and reality were mixed.
How did a group of guys who used the devil's name as a code name, hid in the deepest part of the campus, and always liked to beat the student union and the school working committee, become messengers of campus peace?
