A rather surprising thing happened recently in Stormwind County, Thunder Principality.
Baron Keen, who was seriously ill and almost died, suddenly recovered and then made large-scale checks and adjustments to his men. A large number of subordinates who originally occupied key positions were transferred to idle positions that lacked real power. Many of them were found to have committed various crimes and were punished.
The most surprising thing among them is that his chef, who is quite famous throughout Stormwind County, was actually found to have poisoned Baron Keen's food!
Such a crime is of course unforgivable, and according to the law, it may even affect family members. But Baron Keane said that the chef had worked for the Keane family over the years, and had worked hard without credit. Even if he made a mistake, it would be enough to pay for it with his life. His family had nothing to do with this matter, and he was specially pardoned. family.
How could Baron Keen recover suddenly? How can you find out the traitor in the family? Why he is so kind is what puzzles everyone the most.
"Crick Keen is a scholar after all." In the secret room of the Church of the Noble God, the chief priest of Stormwind County sneered, "You can't achieve great things if you are soft-hearted and soft-hearted!"
"After all, he is a believer in Yuanyuan Song. The doctrine of Yuanyuan Song is inherently weak, and the church organization is also very weak. In the final analysis, it is because they lack the spirit of killing and decisiveness!" said the chief priest who is responsible for handling some shady affairs. It was full of disdain and ridicule, "Both gods and humans, they all eat grass. Even if they are pushed to the edge, they can only kick their legs or use their horns. How can such a thing have the courage to kill on a large scale!"
The chief priest nodded slightly and arranged the new work.
A mere baron is not worth spending too much energy on. Since this kid is so popular now, let's wait for the time being and deal with him after he is done with the limelight.
Anyway... no matter how many tricks he can play, it can't change the fact that he is just a baron. How much human and financial resources can a mere baron have? How much influence can it have in the upper class of society
Behind the Church of the God of Nobles is a large group of nobles!
Creek—or Sui Xiong—didn't know this. His "system" was not powerful enough that once someone plotted against him, a prompt such as "Mission: Fight against Assassination" would immediately pop up. All his energy now is focused on internal purges.
You won’t know if you don’t check, but you’ll be shocked if you check! When he checked his subordinates against their loyalty, he was shocked. Various questions made James Knight, who was loyal to him, furious. If he hadn't stopped him, he would have drawn his sword to kill people on the spot.
Crick himself was also shocked. Although he was somewhat mentally prepared, he never expected that the problem would be so serious! In fact, many of the powers of Baron Keen have been emptied out. The middle- and lower-level officials loyal to him have either been squeezed into useless positions or directly killed. Only the confirmed murder cases have been found. Five or six times!
"These guys are simply crazy! They don't take human life seriously!" After looking at the case files for a while, he angrily threw the files on the table that recorded a series of crimes, breathing heavily. Picking up the wheat tea prepared beside him, Gululu drank half a cup of cold water, but still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
He only started drinking barley tea after he "wake up". He really couldn't get used to the kind of tea that nobles often drank - grinding tea leaves and spices and boiling them, and finally sprinkling some spices into the filtered tea soup. Powder, this is really beyond the range that a Chinese tongue can accept. So he would rather drink the fried wheat tea that has been introduced from the Northwest Void Mask Playground in recent years. At least this thing tastes cleaner.
Because it was discovered that "Traveler Sui Xiong MK5" had suspected various things about the Mask of the Void Playground before, Sui Xiong specially made changes in the memory of Crick Keen or "Traveler Sui Xiong MK6", so that He ignored all the Earth-style things he brought with him to avoid accidents. But he did not modify Crick's aesthetics, so Crick's eating habits and life style were undergoing subtle changes.
In general, some gradually became less gregarious among the nobles and became closer to the people of the middle and lower classes.
There is no way, Sui Xiong himself is a small person!
So he really couldn't understand the thinking of the upper class - those nobles who had a good relationship with "Crick Keane" before, after learning about the current situation of the Keane family, the advice they gave was simply incomprehensible!
A friend's suggestion was: "Sell your property, live directly at Mask of the Void amusement park, and settle down there for the rest of your life. If you have money and you know so much about art, you can go and write some operas there." And so on, and the temple of your church is also there, so there is some kind of care."
This suggestion was too cowardly, and Crick didn't like it. But no matter what, it is still a slightly more reliable suggestion, and at least it can still be implemented.
In contrast, the suggestions from several other friends simply made him wonder whether the brains of these guys were brains or tofu!
Those people can be summed up in one word: kill.
Kill all the disloyal people, kill them all, hang them all, and hang their corpses on the roadside to deter those with evil intentions - they all say so.
Hey...there are hundreds of people here! By killing so many people in one breath, wouldn't he become a big devil
And... if he wanted to kill so many people, where would he find the executioner? Shouldn't he just be regarded as a madman
But the nobles didn't see it that way. They all said that the nobles were sacrosanct and any behavior that dared to harm the nobles should be severely punished. There must be no tolerance!
At that time, Creek said with a smile that he would carefully consider their suggestions when he returned home. After returning home, he told Butler Layton to be wary of those guys in the future.
"Aren't the opinions of your Excellencies quite reasonable?" Butler Layton asked doubtfully.
"But no brains." Creek sighed, "You know, pig teammates are more terrifying than divine opponents! If the force that can silently infiltrate our Keen family like a sieve is a divine opponent , then these teammates are like pigs, Leiden, even idiots are contagious!"
Butler Leiden nodded repeatedly, seeming to understand.
When eating the next day, he asked curiously: "Sir, are idiots really contagious?"
Crick pondered for a long time, trying to find an explanation, but when he saw Layton's character attributes, he sighed deeply and gave up the plan.
[Leiden, Strength 10, Constitution 12, Agility 10, Perception 12, Intelligence 9, Charisma 10, Reputation 120, Occupation: Butler Level 5, Priest Level 1, Loyalty 100]
Don't worry, this housekeeper is a bit stupid!
"That's just a joke." He brushed off the "idiots are contagious" thing, and then looked at the knight leader James who insisted on standing by and refused to eat with the master.
[James, Strength is fourteen, Constitution is fourteen, Agility is twelve, Perception is ten, Intelligence is nine, Charisma is ten, Reputation is two hundred. Occupation: Warrior Level 3, Knight Level 4, Lord Level 1, Loyalty 100]
His generals, both civil and military, are all a bit stupid...
"Alas!" He said with a deep sigh, "Let's talk about Spencer's suggestion."
Spencer Smith, the deputy head of the Knights of the Church of God of Knights in the Principality of Thunder, is in charge of the work of Stormwind County. This young knight is a dazzling rising star. He even made it to the semi-finals of the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament at Masked Void Playground, and won one of the top 16 matches. It was only when he met "Divine Bow" Levi Spring in the winner's group and "Thunder Tomahawk" Sudelle Magnus in the loser's group that he stopped at the quarterfinals stage. Able to go further.
Compared to his subordinates, Creek felt that this young master's advice was definitely more reliable.
If nothing else, his intelligence is higher than that of his subordinates!
[Spencer Smith, Strength 20, Constitution 18, Agility 16, Perception 14, Intelligence 14, Charisma 18, Reputation 650. Occupation: Warrior level 3, Knight level 8, Paladin level 8, friendliness level 80]
Look at that gorgeous property! Look at that blinding reputation! Look at that awesome overall level!
What does it mean to be a winner in life? This is it!
Creek believed that if there was a fight, one person would be able to wipe out the entire knights of his barony, and maybe break some melon seeds along the way.
Therefore, he felt that Spencer's suggestion could still be kept as a backup.
If it doesn't work, the whole family should just pack up and run away...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
The situation in front of us is really too serious!
Perhaps they felt that he was incapable of making a comeback, or they were simply confident. The guys who plotted against him did not conceal the news very carefully. After a little investigation, he found out the mastermind hiding behind the traitors.
Church of the Noble God.
This answer didn't surprise him, but it made him a little frustrated.
The opponent is too strong and it is too difficult to take revenge!
The Church of the Noble God has developed faster and faster in recent years, and its power has become larger and larger. They have the support of the great nobles represented by the king. Although they mainly try to win over the nobles at the level of the Viscount Baron, they will try to eliminate them if they cannot win over them. In recent years, there have been many people in the Thunder Principality who are determined not to follow. The nobles they cooperated with died suddenly.
The former Crick Keen was a staunch believer in the God of Literature and Art, and the Church of the God of Literature and Art was an important target for exclusion and attack by the Church of the God of Nobility, so the young baron was naturally on the hit list and lost his life in vain.
After eating, Crick took the case file and sat in the study, meditating.
After thinking for a long time, he sighed deeply: "Crick Keen, it's so difficult to avenge you and solve the dilemma faced by the Keen family..."
