In the conference room of Black Dragon City, several core members, Renn, Ymir, and Mafa, were holding a secret meeting.
Kanosha is sharing the intelligence gathered by the Chamber of Commerce in recent months.
"The City of Glory announced the establishment of the 'Kingdom of Glory'. The previous hunting system in the city has been abolished, and then the aristocratic system of Omarhid was almost copied. The heads of the five major families became kings and enfeoffed a large number of nobles. Also because of the [Black Tide], a large number of ancient ruins have been discovered to the west of the Alcoron Mountains, which has become a real 'hunting holy land'. After hearing the news, a large number of hunters and civilians poured into the Glory City from the two empires , the population migration wave is getting more and more intense. Probably within a few years, the population of the 'Glory Kingdom' will be comparable to that of the two empires... "
"Now the veteran nobles of the two empires are also panicking. A large number of people have been lost in the territory, so they have to order martial law and issue a decree to impose capital punishment on those who smuggled to the Glory City. But the effect is not good. On the contrary, because of the martial law, the bottom class has been The people are full of complaints, and the conflict between the nobles and the common people is continuing to intensify... "
"I got the news that the Omar royal family was behind the establishment of the 'Glorious Kingdom'. I guess those people are regretting it now... It can be foreseen that if there are no accidents, this emerging 'Glorious Kingdom' will 'It will soon reach the size of an empire and become a major concern for the two empires."
"..."
Ren and Ymir had already known some of the information about the establishment of a country in Glory City.
Because the letter Metternich sent to Ymir reminded him of this.
However, he was still surprised when he heard the news came true.
This plot feels like after a certain feudal dynasty was overthrown by the revolution in Renn's previous life, a certain boss usurped the fruits of the revolution and declared restoration, turning back the clock on history.
The seemingly good "City of Freedom" suddenly turned into a semi-feudal slavery system with centralized monarchy.
Moreover, [Black Tide] also helped the establishment of Guanghui City a big favor.
A large number of people migrated here, which really gave those guys a big advantage.
But at the same time, Ren also thought of the bearded librarian.
This is a city he created with his own hands, how could he be willing to let others mess with it like this
... .
Ren asked: "Master Cavo will allow the five major families to do that?"
Canossa listened, shook her head, and said: "Master Cavo has never shown up. And according to the information obtained by our Chamber of Commerce, Master Cavo together with the 'Glory City Central Library' after the outbreak of the [Black Tide]" Gone."
When Ren heard the news, he was greatly surprised: "Disappeared? Could it be that he was killed by people from the five major families?"
Hearing this, Ymir on the side was full of contemplation and interjected: "This should be impossible. In the City of Glory, no one can kill Master Kavo."
"Yes."
Canosha also nodded in approval of this statement and said: "Master Cavo is in his magic tower, no one can kill him."
After a pause, she changed the subject and added: "Furthermore, our chamber of commerce's intelligence officers got a very interesting piece of information. That was on the day Master Cavo and his library disappeared. Prince Quentin of Omar Assassinated right outside the library!”
Hearing this, Ymir was shocked: "Quentin is dead?"
In order to maintain the absolute security of the initial construction of the territory in the past few months, she did not allow any espionage personnel to collect intelligence. She did not expect that such a big incident would happen.
Moreover, it seems that Quentin was already the next emperor of the Omar Empire. How could he be assassinated? Who killed him
To assassinate the heir to the throne of Omar, even Sid would not dare to take the risk of a war between the two countries.
Also, there is no motive.
Quentin's succession to the throne will not only bring no harm to the relations between the two countries, but will actually be better than it is now.
If the assassin comes from another force, who is it
Ymir quickly thought about all the possibilities in her mind, and finally guessed that the person most motivated to kill Quentin was actually her, the eldest princess who was expelled from the core of Omar's power!
When Kanosha said this, she also cast a strange look at Ymir.
Apparently she thought so too.
Ymir shook his head and said calmly: "I didn't do it."
Of course Ren also knew that it was not Ymir who did it. But this is strange, who has nothing to do to kill Quentin? Still in the City of Glory
When Kanosha heard Ymir's words, she frowned and became even more confused.
She continued: "I also have some official intelligence sources in Oma... So, I got the files on the assassination of the eldest prince Quentin at that time."
With that said, she took out a file tape with some kraft paper and handed it to Ren and others.
What is written above is the confession of the First Prince Quentin's escort team.
When Metternich walked out of the library, every word he said to the eldest prince was correct.
After seeing the detailed information, Ymir's face turned slightly strange.
The Omar officials who have access to these top-secret information must have high-level positions, and now that someone has actually obtained it, it shows that the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" has penetrated Omar's top management to a terrifying level.
However, it was just a little unexpected. After all, the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" is now an ally, and Omar has nothing to do with him.
Ren glanced at the file. When he saw Quentin's strange way of death and the inexplicable reversal of the relationship, he was shocked: "It's not that the eldest prince was assassinated, but that he was going to kill him." My own staff, the guy named 'Clemens F. Metternich', was inexplicably backfired and he killed himself?"
He felt that he needed to sort out his thoughts, which were a bit confusing.
He once met the guy in the "Plague Base" who liked to play cards but was obviously "schizophrenic".
But let’s not talk about it, isn’t this Metternich the most effective staff member of the Queen’s faction
Now... When the master cannot trust his closest aide, he wants to kill him. But he fails to kill him, and he gets raped instead
Before sending that letter, Renn realized that the guy named "Meternich" had something wrong with his position.
But he also asked Ymir if this guy was not her secret, which made that person strange.
But after seeing the following conversations, Ren suddenly felt that he understood something.
"Then Metternich and Queen Omar are having an affair? Damn it, are the aristocrats so good at playing?"
Renn looked at the details behind this information with disbelief on his face.
This content is so ridiculous that even the troubadour wouldn’t dare to arrange it like this, but it happens to be accurate information provided by Canossa!
Cuckolded the emperor? And killed his son
Renn suddenly changed his mind about Metternich. He was a cruel person.
Oh, no, including expelling Ymir, this guy has done everything to offend the Omar royal family.
What kind of hatred and resentment is this
... .
Canosha looked at the strange expressions of several people after seeing the information, and smiled as expected. She also said: "I couldn't believe it when I saw this file. However, I later verified it from many sources. It seems that this information is absolutely correct."
Renn asked casually: "How did that guy Metternich kill Quentin?"
"It should be extraordinary abilities such as 'substitute curse' and 'damage transfer'..."
When Canossa talked about this topic, her expression became slightly solemn. Even if she advanced to Legend, she still had no confidence in dealing with this weird killing method.
After a pause, she continued: "It is normal for the 'Gambler Sequence' to have some strange abilities. The people who inherit this sequence are not mentally normal. The gambler of the previous generation, 'Olatto K. Kant' He is just a guy who is addicted to gambling, looking for people to play cards everywhere. But even if they are legends, no one wants to play cards with them. Because others play cards to gamble with money, and they play cards to gamble with lives. Their extraordinary ability seems to be and When people gamble with cards, they get stronger and stronger when they win, but when they lose... I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them losing.”
"curse?"
When Ren heard this, he felt bad.
He looks like a normal person except for a little bit of schizophrenia. Is he so evil
He thought about his own experience. Could it be that he had also suffered some kind of "curse"
Thinking that with so many big guys present, someone could be a reference, he said weakly: "As for Metternich, I played cards with him all afternoon... and even gambled alone."
Canossa thought she heard wrongly, and was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Have you ever played cards with that kind of person?"
Not to mention whether the descendant of the gambler sequence would play with a low-level extraordinary like Renn. Just for fun, you are still alive
"It seems so"
Then, as he spoke, Renn also took out a card, which was naturally the "colorful clown card" that Metternich left behind when he lost, and asked: "Everyone, I... didn't get any 'curse' Bar?"
Ymir also heard about the original card game, but she did not know that Metternich was the inheritor of the gambler sequence. Now that I think about it, things are even more complicated.
Canossa felt that things were getting weird, and her already chaotic thoughts were even more confusing now: "And Cavo and Bazel, the four of you played poker all afternoon? And, in the last round of gambling alone, you actually Won?"
Renn shrugged helplessly, "Yeah. Then I won, and he gave me a divination once."
Canossa couldn't help but twitch the corners of her eyes and looked at Ren with a faint look, "You are really brave..."
After a pause, she said: "However, those gamblers are not sane, but the gambling products are still good. Since you won, he will not harm you."
After hearing this, Ren was relieved.
Then I secretly made up my mind to never play cards with strangers again next time, especially with narrow eyes!
... .
It was obvious that Metternich had foreseen that the eldest prince Quentin wanted to kill him.
After all, Ren knew that he was still a "divineer".
But this guy didn't escape, but killed his master.
This is hard to understand.
Several people finally read the file over and over again, but none of them could figure out why Matt did what he did.
But now that Quentin is dead, the direct consequence is that the political situation in Omar is in chaos and the old aristocratic group is falling apart.
Previously, the old nobles united and drove away Ymir who wanted to reform, and determined that the heir to the imperial power was the eldest prince. This is the result of the game between the forces of all parties, and the final selection is in line with everyone's interests.
Now that there is a vacancy, certain contracts are broken.
The eldest prince died, as well as the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince... The emperor had a harem, and not all princes were born to the queen.
The families behind the remaining princes are not economical. Now that they have the opportunity to reach the top of the throne, who doesn’t want to try
Without Ymir as an external enemy, internal fighting will naturally begin.
Moreover, although there is no evidence that Metternich cheated on the emperor at present, it is enough to give the Lopez family behind the queen a drink.
Moreover, Emperor Omar's physical condition does not look optimistic and he may not live long.
Coupled with the migration of the lower class population caused by the [Kurotide].
The political situation in Omar feels like it is about to collapse.
Moreover, it always feels like all the coincidences have come together, making people feel as if there is an invisible big hand controlling everything.
Renn suddenly thought of what Metternich's "violent personality" said casually: the dirty aristocracy should be completely destroyed.
This... couldn't have been done by that narrowed eye, right
