But even so, it is enough.
During these three days, in addition to gaining a general understanding of the current distribution of power in Geling City, Mozo also obtained some useful intelligence.
The Victory Festival is approaching, and nobles from all over the country are preparing their own fine wines to please the goddess of victory.
As one of the main regions of victory faith, Geling will definitely not miss this event.
Although the main purpose of the victory festival has now become to please those in power, the sacrifices to the goddess are still indispensable and must be taken seriously.
Otherwise, without the goddess's protection, their lives would not be as good as they are now.
When he realized this, Mozo couldn't help but sigh again.
Just as he was unwilling to believe his own guess, he could not understand why the goddess of victory who was once full of action and empathy had become what she is now.
Could it really be Baggins
If his guess was true, the goddess of victory could indeed get rid of a considerable part of the responsibility, but no matter what, Mozo could not convince himself that everything that happened now had nothing to do with the goddess' victory.
And Mozo also knows that the goddess of victory is one of the main persons responsible for everything that happened today.
After all, it's different from Hevis. Even if it's the same situation as Hevis, Mozo can't blame the goddess for winning.
You know, Hevis fell into silence and didn't want to pay too much attention to her believers.
In such a situation, it is really impossible to blame a deity who has no demands on his followers.
I don't need you, so I don't have any responsibility for you. Both parties are like completely unrelated strangers.
Furthermore, no matter how outrageous the bishops of Hevis are, they are just greedy for money, not cannibalistic. No matter how they treat faith and the people, they have to hide and pretend.
But Shengli is different. She doesn’t ignore it. She is directly indulging her believers.
Through Mozo's investigations over the past few days, he discovered that it was indeed as the Great Shaman said, that all crimes could be committed and excused in the name of victory.
After rubbing his eyes, Mozo could only pray in his heart that there was some hidden story behind this matter.
Otherwise, he might face the goddess of victory head-on.
No, according to his current thoughts, he would probably have to face the goddess of victory sooner or later.
We can only hope that something changes.
But even if there are no variables, Mozo will not stop.
He once was active in this land as Aragorn Isildur, and brought hope and future to the people of this land.
Then Mozo felt that he needed to take care of all of this. Even if not for these things, at least he had to try for the people who had fought with him back then.
Otherwise, without the help of people like Baggins, it would be really difficult for Mozo of Aragon to do anything.
Shaking his head, Mozo put all his attention back on the business.
The nobles of Goling would prepare fine wine to please the goddess, but a few days ago, a pot of fine wine from the Age of Gods that was purchased from abroad at a great cost by Marquis Bill, a powerful man among the Goling nobles, disappeared from the Marquis's mansion which was guarded by layers of guards!
Mozo wants to investigate everything, and the fastest way to do it without the help of Aragorn or any force other than himself is to enter the upper aristocratic circle!
If you want to find filth, you have to go deep into the filth!
It's not like Mozo didn't ask for help from Pure White Libra. But even though Mozo offered a reward that Pure White Libra thought was excessive, Mozo still didn't get the answer he wanted.
Pure White Libra said very bluntly that someone must have interfered with the subsequent extraordinary divination by some means!
Come to think of it, if it was really as Mozo thought, the other party would definitely do their best to prevent extraordinary divination!
Moreover, it was this action that made Mozo firmly believe that he must continue to investigate. Otherwise, the divination given by the Pure White Libra should not be vague, but a historical record that Mozo had read countless times.
So I can only put my hopes on myself.
After rummaging through the box he had obtained earlier, Mozo took out what he thought was most suitable for the moment—a certificate of nobility!
It is not as difficult as climbing to the sky for commoners or foreigners to squeeze into the circle of Hazel nobles, but it is extremely laborious.
Mozo has time to waste with them, but if possible, Mozo hopes to do it as soon as possible. After all, if he delays for one more day, the poor and civilians outside will suffer for one more day!
And what he needs to do is to conduct an in-depth investigation into the assassination that year.
Then the identity of being a descendant of the powerful aristocracy of that time is the most suitable!
Mozzo was not prepared to enter with the more seamless identity of a descendant of Aragon, because once this identity appeared, it would inevitably enter everyone's sight and heart.
But if necessary, Mozo doesn't mind using it as a second layer of nesting dolls.
Besides, it’s not like Mozo hasn’t done this kind of thing before, speedrunning the aristocratic circle!
While Mozo was trying to think of whether there were any omissions in his plan, he was also stroking the certificate of nobility in his hand.
After confirming that there is no problem.
Mozo arrived at the gate of Marquis Bill's mansion.
The guard at the gate instinctively wanted to drive Mozo away when he saw him.
But before they could speak, Mozo took out his certificate of nobility and the pure gold brooch from the Niugwen Library and said:
"I am a noble, and I am also a transcendent. This is my certificate of nobility and transcendence. Therefore, I urge you two to be polite, and at the same time, please give it to the respected Marquis Bill!"
The two guards suddenly became solemn and respectfully took Mozo's things. After confirming that the pure gold brooch was genuine, one of them immediately took Mozo's things into the mansion.
The other one who stayed here said to Mozo with a smile:
"Dear sir, please come in with me and take a rest!"
At the same time, Mozzo's certificate of nobility and pure gold brooch passed through the hands of several people before being placed on a tray by Marquis Bill's butler and delivered to Marquis Bill's study.
Marquis Bill, who was having a headache because of the theft of the fine wine, couldn't help but say after seeing the butler coming in with some documents:
"If you didn't find my wine, don't bother me at this time!"
The wine of the Age of Gods, although not a famous wine, is also a wine from the middle Age of Gods! A bottle of this would cost 30,000 to 40,000 gold coins!
Indeed, even so, for a powerful marquis from the empire, this was not a loss that could make him so sad.
What really troubled him was how could someone steal his wine at this time? And in his own home, where theoretically it was the safest place
This made the Marquis suspect that his political enemies were planning to deal with him. At the same time, he also wondered if this was a warning from those damned rebels
After all, he had just taken over the important task of suppressing the rebels, which could not be made public.
That's why Marquis Bill has always been so troubled.
The butler immediately lowered his head and said:
"Master Bill, this is a Sequence Five item!"
"A Sequence 5 Transcendent?"
As soon as the identity of Sequence Five appeared, Marquis Bill finally became serious.
Sequence Five cannot quite compare to him, but they are also people of a similar level.
"Yes, I have done some general research. This is an extraordinary person from a foreign country, but I haven't found out where he is from."
"Didn't find anything?"
"Yes, the other party is probably from a very far away place! At least not from a place that believes in the goddess."
"Anything else?"
Marquis Bill became more and more concerned. Why would such a person come when he had lost everything
The butler continued:
"The other party also handed over a certificate of nobility."
"Foreign nobles? No, even with a certificate of nobility, you still can't find out where they are from?"
The butler said seriously:
"Respected sir, I think you need to come and see this certificate of nobility yourself!"
Marquis Bill picked up Mozo's certificate of nobility suspiciously.
The first thing that catches your eye is these few lines of big characters.
Witnessed by Baggins Hazel, Lord of Hazel, and Aragorn Isildur, Lord of the Everlasting Order of Hebron.
When Marquis Bill saw this line of words, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Why would foreigners have joint proof from the founders of their own empire
After rubbing his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things, Marquis Bill continued reading.
Then came a passage that surprised him even more.
This certificate is proof of the Columbus family’s rights and territory!
"The Columbine Family?!"
Seeing this, Marquis Bill couldn't help but scream again.
This is a marquisate family, and a powerful marquisate at that, but the problem is, wasn't this family extinct during the crusade against the Mongol dynasty
Moreover, Marquis Bill still remembered that the last direct descendant of this family died together with Emperor Baggins in an ambush by the lowly orcs when the emperor returned to his country.
How come after so many years, someone came to him again with the Columbus family's nobility certificate
Or at this point in time
After a brief thought, Marquis Bill said to the butler:
"Please bring him here! And call my knights here!"
318 Hooked (3k)
"Yes, Master Bill!"
At the Marquis's signal, Mozzo, who was invited into the living room, was soon invited by the butler to Marquis Bill's study.
When Mozo arrived, he not only saw Marquis Bill, who was slightly fatter than ordinary people, but also saw several high-ranking knights.
The moment Mozo entered, several knights subconsciously placed their hands on the hilts of their swords.
However, Marquis Bill smiled at Mozo calmly:
"Please forgive my caution. After all, your presence and identity are really a bit worrying!"
Mozo nodded and smiled:
"I understand. If you hadn't done anything, I would have left immediately!"
Marquis Bill also laughed and said:
"I like your straightforwardness. In that case, how about we get straight to the point?"
"I was waiting for you to say that!"
Marquis Bill immediately picked up Mozo's nobility certificate and said:
"This is the Columbus family's certificate of nobility, and mine should be one of the earliest issued. And then you said you are a noble, do you mean you are a descendant of the Columbus family? But aren't you a foreigner?"
After saying this, Marquis Bill just looked at Mozo quietly.
Mozo nodded without hesitation and said:
"I am indeed a descendant of the Columbus family, and this is the only reason why I came back. Because I want to restore the glory of my family."
"Respected Marquis Bill, you are a powerful noble and have great power in Ge Ling. If I want to restore the glory of my family, I think you would be a suitable choice!"
As a backup, Mozo prepared several absolutely flawless certificates of nobility.
After all, he was one of the actual issuers. If what he made was fake, then there would be no real thing in the whole Hazel.
However, when Mozo made these nobility certificates, he did not do anything to these families. He kept these nobility certificates just in case.
It's always good to do more.
Hearing Mozo's blunt words, Marquis Bill's expression became subtle, and his eyes kept moving back and forth between the certificate of nobility, which he could not see any problems with, and Mozo.
Finally he said:
"I will trust your identity for now, but why now? And why me? After so many years, you should have many opportunities to come back, and there should be many people who are more suitable than me, right?"
"If your identity is true, not only could your family legitimately ask the Queen to rule that you take over everything back then, but even now, the person you should be looking for is not me but Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Oh my God, the more I say this, the less I can believe you."
