"The God of Wealth actually came up with this idea..." In the misty darkness, the God of Nobles opened his eyes.

His eyes are very different from the past. Originally, her eyes were sharp and deep, like a sea with undercurrents, which made people wary. But now there is a lot of turbidity and violence in his eyes, like in a storm. The seaside is no longer as deep as before, but even more eerie.

Moreover, the aura on his body has also become very strong, and there is a strange feeling that seems to be trying hard to suppress something, but it seems that it can no longer be suppressed.

At this moment, He is sitting on a golden platform. Below the platform is a bottomless pool of black water. The dark mist is the mist rising from the black water.

If you look carefully, you can see that the golden platform is constantly absorbing his divine power, and the black water is constantly weakening the absorbed divine power. It evaporates for this very reason.

Outside the pool, the God of Diplomacy was standing in a pavilion. The pavilion was silver-white and shrouded in a circle of light. No matter how thick the water mist was, it could not invade. But even so, the God of Diplomacy very carefully used magic to turn into layers of light shields to protect himself within it.

Just a little bit of the black water in the pool will consume a lot of divine power. He is not the God of Nobles whose divine power has reached its limit and will be forced to advance if he does not try to suppress it. He cannot afford to waste so much divine power.

Hearing the words of the God of Nobles, He nodded and said: "After this method was proposed, the originally tense situation has eased a little. Both the Nobles and Merchants are trying their best to win over allies. During this time, many places are even trying to provide Increased benefits for civilians…”

"The method is indeed good, but it is definitely not something that the God of Wealth can come up with." The God of Nobles thought for a while and said slowly, "The only one who can come up with this method is the Mask of the Void! That jellyfish never follows common sense. Cards, his mind is full of weird ideas. Only He can come up with such a method of setting up a big council to divide various classes, and then bringing in clergy and civilians to muddy the waters!"

The God of Diplomacy nodded: "Your Majesty said so too. He also told me that if you can't think of this, then it's best to give up on your advancement this time."

The God of Nobles smiled slightly, with a trace of pain on his face, and was immediately suppressed by Him: "If you can't think of such a trivial matter, why should I compete for the position of powerful god!"

"That's true... Then what are you going to do?" the God of Diplomacy asked.

"Cause them some trouble." The Noble God said coldly, "If I let them solve the problem so easily, wouldn't it make me look incompetent?"

"Please help me contact the God of Conspiracy and tell him that I want him to spread a rumor." The God of Nobles said, "The Goddess of Wealth convened the Great Council this time, ostensibly to mediate the dispute between the aristocrats and the merchants. The purpose of the contradiction is actually to enhance the status of the merchants, so that they have the qualifications to sit on an equal footing with the nobles, and to weaken the sanctity of the noble blood. In the future, when the noble family changes or inheritance disputes arise, the merchants will definitely use the Great Council to force The succeeding nobles paid a huge price, thereby weakening the noble group again and again. If this continues, it will not take many years for the nobles to be weakened to the point where they cannot compete with the merchants. This is roughly what I mean. I think you understand. Do you understand what I meant?"

The God of Diplomacy thought for a moment and nodded: "I understand. I will explain it carefully to the God of Conspiracy."

He hesitated for a moment and then asked: "In fact, we can do this ourselves. There is no need to find that guy. It's better not to involve outsiders in this kind of thing. Otherwise, if the news comes out in the future, it will affect your reputation." unfavorable."

"My reputation?" The Noble God sneered and closed his eyes, "This is the kind of reputation I want!"

He did not explain it in detail, but the God of Diplomacy already understood.

The god who always served as a messenger in the human pantheon hesitated for a moment, but still did not persuade him. He just sighed softly, turned around and left.

It wasn't until He left that the Noble God opened his eyes again, looked at the direction in which He was leaving, and remained silent.

(Without such a gesture, how could Your Majesty allow me to be promoted to powerful divine power? With my wisdom and skills, if I don’t let my reputation deteriorate, I’m afraid Your Majesty will worry about me trying to take His position...)

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a somewhat gloomy smile.

A few days later, some news spread quickly in the Gold Coin Federation.

Every noble who got the news frowned, especially those who were facing inheritance issues, or who saw that their next generation might encounter such problems, frowned even more.

The two most noble marquises in the Gold Coin Federation met in secret.

No one knew what they talked about, because this time, they talked one-on-one in a secret room.

Even the guards responsible for protecting them only knew that after this secret conversation, the noble Lord changed his attitude and began to oppose the Great Council.

The news naturally reached the ears of the Goddess of Wealth, and then to Sui Xiong.

"Tsk tsk... There are experts behind the nobles!" Sui Xiong frowned, a little surprised, "How could they see so far?"

For ordinary people, "far-sighted" generally can only stay in the literal sense. If you can foresee the development of the situation in the next few years, you can be said to be a wise man, and if you can foresee the development of the next few generations, you are by no means what is generally called "smart" People" can do it.

There are quite a few such people among mages, but mages are not expected to speak out about these insights.

After all... For mages, the aristocratic system is much easier to control than the merchant system, and it is more in line with their interests.

"I did a divination and it showed that there was a god involved behind the scenes, but I couldn't confirm which god it was." said the goddess of wealth.

"Can't confirm which god it is?" Yorgardman, the God of Justice, sneered, "It's probably that bastard!"

Everyone understands what He means. Being able to make it impossible for divination to determine who it is means that it either has a very high divine status or a unique priesthood. If it is connected with "rumors" or something like that, the identity of the god who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes is simply obvious.

Who else could it be but the God of Conspiracy

"Why does He want to trouble me? Make trouble for me?" The goddess of wealth could naturally guess it, but He couldn't guess the reason. "Have I ever offended Him?"

"A chaotic and evil god, do you need a reason to do bad things?" The God of Justice sneered, "In my opinion, we'd better find an opportunity to kill him!"

This plan was unanimously approved by the gods, but it was meaningless.

For a long time, there have been as many as eight hundred gods who want to kill the God of Conspiracy, and they have even launched an "alliance to defeat the God of Conspiracy" more than once. But the God of Conspiracy will disappear temporarily for a few years at most, and then he will appear again. No one can find his true identity, and no one can find the location of his divine kingdom.

The one who is most active in crusading against this guy is definitely the God of Justice, but even he, one of the strongest in terms of divine power, actually has nothing to do with that guy.

Moreover, the biggest problem at hand is not how to trouble the God of Conspiracy, but to help the Goddess of Wealth solve the crisis.

As that rumor spread, the attitude of the nobles has changed significantly. If they don't find a way, they may start fighting again...
