Upon hearing this, the knights drew their swords and stood in front of their lord.
In response to this, Mozo still said calmly:
"Dear Marquis Bill, this is the biggest reason why I came to see you!"
"What's the meaning?"
After thinking about it, Mozo said with a smile:
"I'll tell you the truth. I'm not a descendant of the Columbus family. I just found this certificate of nobility by accident in some ancient ruins."
There are countless ways to verify whether a person is a descendant of a certain family. Although Mozo has a way to deal with this, he is not going to do it.
The knights became more nervous after hearing this, but Marquis Bill smiled and asked the knights to put down their swords.
"You, you seem to be doing something interesting?"
"As you can see, I am a Sequence 5 Beyonder. If I want to climb up, it is indeed very simple. However, the position of Marquis does not seem to be that easy."
"And in this situation, I found a certificate of nobility. Not only that, it is also the certificate of nobility of a powerful marquis in the empire. I think there is no need for me to say more about what I should do, right? Respected Marquis Bill!"
Marquis Bill stroked his chin and said:
"You want to pretend to be a descendant of a great noble in our country and usurp their title and fiefdom? Do you really know what you are talking about?"
"I know it's difficult, but it's worth a try, isn't it?"
"Worth a try? Are you kidding? You can't pass the bloodline verification at all. I can tell you responsibly that even if it is a family that has long been extinct, the Empire still has a way to verify the other party's identity!"
"So I'm here to see you, right?"
The interest in Marquis Bill's eyes grew stronger:
"How come I don't know what you're talking about?"
"Among the three powers of military, politics and religion, you have a considerable say in both politics and military. You should be able to help me deal with this!"
"Oh my God, your words are so dangerous. You are asking me to ignore the interests of the country's laws!"
"National legal interests? You are the one who is joking. Except for me, everyone here is your confidant, so let's be frank. Dear Marquis Bill, I want a position of marquis. The fiefdom can be less or even put on hold temporarily, but I need status and rights!"
In these dark times, Mozo didn't think he would easily come across someone who was extremely loyal to the country.
The reason why the entire Geling aristocratic circle can still be maintained as a whole is simply because everyone is moving forward for a common interest.
In the eyes of the nobles here, there is only the purest interests!
Everything beyond that is a joke.
"And it seems that many of your political enemies have occupied the fiefdoms and interests of the Columbus family, right?"
According to the "Noble Law", the fiefs and rights of nobles who have no descendants will be nationalized and redistributed. Similarly, if it is proven that the nobles who have no descendants are not extinct, then the rights and interests of their families and fiefs must also be returned to the original owners!
Generally speaking, not many people pay attention to this point, because how can the descendants of nobles who have lost their fiefdoms and rights still be called nobles
But it is still useful in certain situations. One reason is that the participants have noble character, and the other is that other superiors can profit from it!
"Your suggestion is interesting, but it is not enough."
Marquis Bill was very interested in Mozo's proposal, but it was just interest. If Mozo could not come up with more practical things, he would not invest in Mozo.
Because it's not worth it!
Mozo also understood the underlying meaning of Marquis Bill. He immediately smiled and took out a bottle of emerald green wine from behind like a magic trick.
"I heard that you lost a bottle of rare wine, so I prepared a gift for you that should make up for your loss."
A knight immediately looked at the Marquis, and after receiving a nod from the other party, he stepped forward and took the wine from Mozzo.
The moment he got it, the knight, who was also from a noble family, said in surprise:
“Is this the emblem of the Victorian dynasty?”
These words made Marquis Bill couldn't help but lean forward.
Looking closely, it was indeed the exclusive emblem of the Victorian Dynasty. If there was such an emblem, could it be the top-quality wine directly supplied to the Victorian Palace
The knight confirmed again and again that the wine bottle had not been opened and there was no obvious problem before handing it to Marquis Bill.
As soon as the other party got his hands on it, he began to examine it carefully.
“It’s actually the real thing!”
Although this wine is not as vintage as the one he had earlier which was from the middle Age of Gods, it is a top-grade product directly supplied to the Royal Palace of Victoria!
Although the name of this wine is still unclear, the wine supplied directly to the palace is definitely better than the previous bottle of wine from an ordinary cellar.
The difference in years has been compensated by the innate quality and even exceeded by a large margin!
Mozo also explained with a smile:
"This is one of the fine wines that the countries surrounding the Victoria Dynasty used as tribute to Queen Victoria at the end of the Age of Gods. Although I don't know its name, I think the wine tributed to the queen can't be bad."
There were a lot of these things in the world of the painting. So Mozo picked up a few pots just in case. And today he used them.
Marquis Bill also nodded while admiring the fine wine. Even if the wine presented as a tribute to Queen Victoria was not considered to have aged well, it was probably an extremely high-quality wine.
What a pity. If it wasn’t to be presented to Her Majesty the Goddess, Marquis Bill would really like to open the wine seal and take a sip.
But now he didn't even dare to smell it. After all, once the wine seal was opened, no matter whether the quality of the wine would be affected or not, this bottle of fine wine could not be offered to the goddess.
Otherwise, it would be a crime of disrespect and he would not be able to bear the consequences.
After looking at it carefully for a long time, Marquis Bill reluctantly put down the wine in his hand.
Because of the goddess of victory, this bitterly cold land, which already needs strong liquor to warm the body, has given birth to countless wine cultures and wine lovers.
Marquis Bill is apparently one of them.
"Your gift is very valuable, and it really helped me out of my urgent need! I must admit that I owe you a favor. But, dear sir, even so I still can't help you!"
This bottle of wine can only be icing on the cake for Marquis Bill, rather than a timely help.
If it was something else, Marquis Bill would have agreed to it, but what Mozo asked for was too involved and he couldn't take the risk easily.
He does have the ability to help Mozo, but if he fails, the Bill family will probably not be much better off than the Colomb family.
Mozo looked at the wine that the other party had not returned and said calmly:
"I think I have shown enough sincerity. If you refuse based on just a few words, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"
Marquis Bill noticed Mozo's look and could only smile helplessly:
"You are so straightforward. It will be hard for you to get along with us in the future if you keep doing this."
At this point, the situation is actually very clear. Marquis Bill is already moved, but he needs Mozo to do something to prove himself!
The sincerity that Mozo gave was not only the pot of wine, but also his true identity - and this would be a huge handle that the other party would hand over to Marquis Bill after he succeeded!
After knocking on the table, Marquis Bill said to Mozo:
"My people have found a base of blasphemers. Can you help them if possible?"
319 Evening Star Angel Arwen (3k)
"The blasphemer's stronghold?"
Mozo was slightly stunned when he heard this. Blasphemers usually refer to evil characters such as cultists.
But considering the appearance of the nobles in this damn place, this blasphemer is most likely a reformer, right
Marquis Bill nodded and said:
"Yes, a group of shameful blasphemers. Not only did they betray Her Majesty the Queen, they also misinterpreted Her Majesty the Goddess's doctrine. They are unforgivable blasphemers!"
The unforgivable sinners are saying that others are unforgivable sinners...
"These are a bunch of demons who must be burned at the stake! Every time I think of their behavior, I really want to rip their skins off and soak them in wine!"
"It looks extremely abominable, your Excellency Marquis Bill."
Looking at Marquis Bill, who was the one who should be skinned and soaked in wine, Mozo wanted to laugh and agreed with him.
"They are not only extremely abominable, they are simply stinking creatures that should not exist in this world!"
Mozo couldn't help but nodded. The people who could make the vested interests of the Dark Ages so disgusted were most likely the reformers who had touched their cake and wanted to restore order.
"Can you tell me more about that?"
Mozo asked this question very seriously.
After thinking for a moment, Marquis Bill said to Mozo:
"These guys are hiding deep in the dark because they are afraid of the supreme glory of the empire and the church!"
Well, a respectable person who doesn't have much power yet, but is still willing to seek light in the darkness
"Her Majesty the Queen noticed the emergence of these blasphemers a long time ago. It's a pity that they are like weeds and can't be completely eradicated!"
In such an era, how could there be a lack of rebels? But no matter how hard we try, we can't completely eradicate them...
"Especially recently, our spies discovered that these blasphemers, who were originally just small groups, have actually corrupted the Queen's army!"
Huh?! The rebels already have their own army? This discovery made Mozo look sideways. He thought that under such circumstances, the rebels could not gather much strength.
"What a blasphemy, what a shame! They are the army supported by Her Majesty the Queen, and they are the army that should be the walls of the empire, but they have surrendered to this group of shameful blasphemers!"
What on earth have you done to make even your own army unable to bear it
“What is even more shameful and abominable is that we only know that some troops have joined these blasphemers, but we don’t know which troops have joined them.”
Should I say that your intelligence personnel are a bunch of losers, or should I praise the rebels for their outstanding abilities
"But it doesn't matter. Her Majesty the Great Queen has entrusted me with the important task of exterminating these blasphemers. I have also lived up to everyone's expectations and found some useful things!"
I have chosen the right person to be responsible for such a thing. I will definitely give you a good beating later!
"But what makes me shudder is that among these shameful blasphemers there are even clergymen of Her Majesty the Goddess involved!"
It seems that there are still orthodox clergymen in the church who pursue the original faith! What a surprise! I thought they had all become pigs.
"Moreover, these shameful blasphemers, blasphemers who deserve to die, actually dared to use the sacred Goddess Church as their contact point!"
If a church can become a stronghold and be called what you say, does that mean the church personnel who participated in the resistance were of high rank
"But since I don't have direct evidence, I hope you, an outsider, can find out the other party's true intentions on my behalf. It would be best if you can find some strong evidence!"
You've said so much, and you just found someone to suspect? No, it's not suspicion, but just no evidence. However, this also shows that the other party's status in the church is probably quite good.
After thinking about this, Mozo said to Marquis Bill without any flaws on his face:
"I think I understand what you mean, but can you give me a definite answer to what I want?"
Marquis Bill immediately laughed and said:
"If you can prove yourself, I will definitely invest in you! After all, I have seen your sincerity, but I just can't believe in your ability yet!"
Marquis Bill was very moved by the sincerity and bright future offered by Mozo.
But he still has to see Mozo's abilities and actions.
Marquis Bill asked him to help with this matter not only because he wanted to see his ability, but also because he wanted to confirm his identity and whether they were of the same kind.
Otherwise, he could only express regret.
Mozo immediately laughed and said:
"Then that's absolutely no problem. I know exactly what I'm asking for, so dear Lord Marquis Bill, please wait for my good news! But, you're not going to let me go like this, are you?"
Marquis Bill laughed heartily and said:
"Of course not!"
After saying that, Marquis Bill's butler walked up to Mozo and bowed slightly. Then Mozo was taken away by the butler to explain various matters.
After Mozo left, Marquis Bill said to several knights:
"You guys follow him too. If there's anything wrong with this guy, just kill him."
The knights saluted and then retreated.
When Marquis Bill was alone, he looked at the wine in front of him with admiration.
Then he remembered one thing—the Victorian dynasty had returned, so could he have gotten this bottle of wine from the Victorian Palace
But soon, Marquis Bill shook his head and gave up the idea of continuing along this line of thought.
