Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2422 The one who sent the old cat out
"He believes that the Perast family, whether it is the legitimate sons, stepsons, or even the illegitimate children, can all be said to have left Salar... In other words, after Edgar, the second heir, left, according to the unwritten rules of the nobility that the one with the closest blood relationship is qualified to claim his inheritance rights, he is the actual heir to Perast's interests." Lister said with difficulty.

Even the tower spirit with very stable logical thinking felt sluggish, so you can imagine how absurd this matter is.

Hill understood a little bit.

Although Count Perast had done many things and declared that Edgar's identity was invalid... but for some reason, before his death, this simple matter of removing Edgar's name from the Perast family tree, which had to be confirmed by the highest nobility of the current Perast family in Salar and the noble church, had not been completed.

In fact, although everyone involved in this matter wants to delay it for a while, they have never thought of not doing it.

Some people, especially the Baron who succeeded as the chief of Perast, wanted to undermine the prestige of the earl who used to control everything, so that people would not think that he, who had already taken sole power, was ultimately a puppet of the former earl.

The aristocratic church is very simple.

Even if no one acknowledged it and Edgar continued to talk nonsense, the nobles and bishops of the church still knew exactly who he was.

Delay a little time and try to find a better solution, at least don't let Edgar really become someone worse than an illegitimate child.

The archbishops just wanted to help their colleagues who were fighting on the front lines.

Even though the noble church has completely withdrawn from Salar, those people who had sworn an oath to Perast before are still tied to their chariots.

It's just that William is strong enough, so no one dares to do anything over there, and it's even more impossible to order these nobles who have dripped blood and sworn an oath on the list of noble churches to give up their country... But if you want them to take the initiative to do something good, it also requires a little motivation.

For example, although we have been working hard to return these lists to Sarar, we have not yet completed it.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many people from the Noble Church passing through Salar and arriving at Edward's camp... It was really chaotic at that time.

Even though they were openly expelled, the people from the Noble Church were still there... After all, at that time, the feudal nobles did not really obey William's orders.

By the time William had complete control of the country, his relationship with the God of Nobility was no longer so confrontational, and they even began to cooperate vaguely. He then had no way of dealing with the problems left over from the past.

Anyway, there is more fresh blood in Salar, and the younger generation has never pressed their fingerprints again, so the matter just passed by in a muddle.

However, other families may not have much impact, but Perast is different.

Hill's father, who brought his own death upon himself, was unable to delete Edgar's name from the family book.

Another meaning of "debts are cleared when a person dies" is that after his death, no one will pay off the debts that were previously owed.

According to the unspoken rules of the Salar nobles, as long as the eldest son who inherits his title is his biological son, it is fine. As for who the second son will be after that, it is a confusing matter.

Only the royal family requires that bloodline must be clear and obvious.

In other words, Edgar is indeed the only one of Perast's direct descendants who still has Salarian nationality.

Hill and Manton both have independent titles outside of Salar, so it doesn't count even if they are squatting on Salar territory.

Yes, according to those broken rules, Edgar has the right to inherit everything that belongs to Count Perast except the title.

But even Edgar himself had never thought of such a disgusting thing.

He treated Hill better because he was grateful.

But after realizing that his biological mother was not the one who was most at fault, Edgar blamed all his sorrow and pain on Count Perast and hated his nominal father deeply.

Therefore, it is normal for Hill, who is still a normal person, to not understand this guy who claims to be the closest to Hill and has the right to act as the manager when Hill is not local.

That guy felt that the tower spirits were not qualified to be the open managers... let alone the undead who had been away for a long time.

"Were those people next to him persuaded by him, or was it that guy's doing?" Hill recalled one thing a few beats late: back then, it seemed that a group of Perast moved to the border town on his side.

But that group of people never harassed Hill, so he didn't care.

However, a person who was wise at that time does not necessarily remain wise later.

In other words, the fool who could be suppressed at that time could no longer be controlled later.

Of course, there must be some small thoughts like sending a fool out to try and see if they can get some advantage. Anyway, even if he is really killed, it has nothing to do with them.

But something is still wrong... This reason is really far-fetched.

The last person who made him speechless and confused was Prince Andrew of Am.

That guy is the IQ basin that Hill can understand.

After all, no matter how dumb a person is, he knows that you can't touch a tiger's butt.

Only Andrew thought he could touch the tiger by covering his own eyes... and he didn't cover the tiger's eyes.

So, even with King Amn standing behind him, he was still torn into pieces in the end.

But how could Perast be so stupid and live to the age where he dared to have any ideas about Hill's territory?
"Could this guy have royal blood?" Hill suddenly thought of something.

The atavism phenomenon that occurs from time to time in the Salar royal family is also quite annoying.

Hill was also deeply impressed by the neighbor who had been hostile to Perast for a long time and who even happily took over the job when Edgar openly claimed that he was his bloodline.

I can only say that sometimes, the one who proves your intelligence and strength is not your friend, but your enemy.

If there really is someone who has all the shortcomings of these three families...

There must be a reason why the Salar royal family did not get rid of this guy at the beginning.

But they also watched Hill's men clean out these people, so the reason must not be important.

Hill took a deep breath and spoke in the deafening silence of Lister: "It's a good thing that Edgar chose to never return to Sarar."

Anyway, although he was forced to become a noble lord, he was not the one doing the work. At least Edgar was a great knight, and he was not controlled by his mother to the point where he could not do anything.

However, the child still remembered the kindness his mother had shown him, and he did not want his own misfortune to affect the academy that had taken him in and protected him for so long.

The God of Nobility gave great benefits to the knight nobles of various countries who were willing to allow the army of the Noble Church to enter the defense.

It is estimated that Edgar can be promoted to Heavenly Knight.

Hill thought about it and asked, "Is it resolved cleanly?"

Now that he knew what had happened, Sri would never let the culprit go unpunished.

With all the causes and consequences, even William couldn't come to plead for mercy...even if that guy really had royal blood.

Hill just hopes it won't happen again.

It’s not a big deal, but it really tests the thinking ability of a normal person.

Thinking too much can easily make you a fool.

"It was very clean. Old Cat personally took action, bringing the young couple and a bunch of undead who were watching the fun, and rushed into the territory of Salar to take action.

Our own female knights haven’t kept up.”

After clearing out several nearby territories, the female knights, knowing that the culprit had chosen to hide in Perast's territory, came back to ask Sri for instructions.

They didn't have time to catch up with the 'Old Cat' and the group of undead who were accompanying them to fight.

'Old Cat' really didn't like the stupid noble's evaluation of him: Why should an undead who always hugs a fat cat and smiles foolishly, who is either sleeping or not at home, and has no idea what he is doing, be the city councilor for the most capable and powerful man in Perast?

In fact, many of the things this guy did were the tacit and cruel rules among the nobles...but he didn't understand in his stupid head that these rules could never be applied to someone who could be beaten to death by his own subordinates.

"Sir, you know about the Undead Tribe's detection system." Liszt could only smile, "If the other party attacks first, then they will definitely all be listed as red in Old Cat's system.

We may have to investigate and ask, but they just need to take action.

This is the first time I’ve seen an old cat move so quickly! "

"He's just lazy, not immobile."
