Realm of Power

"Creak" a heavy door opened in front of the fat man, revealing a deep corridor.

Golden sunlight shines down from the skylight at the top of the corridor, and eye-catching light pillars shoot vertically down from the ceiling.

The entire corridor is illuminated brightly.

The nobleman in charge of guiding quickly explained, "Sir, this is the Lolikyat Corridor, which is famous in the north. Those who are qualified to walk in it are the darlings of the gods.

The last person who set foot on this road was our great creator of Wikidia,

The fat man nodded and walked up.

The sunlight shining in front of him made Fatty's whole body look like he was bathed in a sacred beam of light.

A faint golden halo flashed over the fat man's head

This unique change made Fatty feel a little surprised.

What an amazing architectural structure! ,

It is somewhat similar to the design of a medieval theological palace, using the dreamy effect of sunlight and the beautiful grid patterns between the windows to create a sacred effect inside the building.

Everyone saw this strange change,

"Crown! It is the crown of thorns of the king!" Hundreds of nobles standing on both sides were stunned by the halo on the fat man's head. Their eyes were round and they all lay on the ground without daring to raise their heads.

According to legend, the crown of thorns made of blood may bring destruction or glory!

In this sacred temple, you can see such a rare miracle for thousands of years

"Long live! Long live the Grand Duke!" The six thousand Samorian Guards Cavalry outside the door raised their swords in the air at the same time and shouted loudly.

"Haha, it's just some optical phantoms!" The fat man looked at the hundreds of nobles lying on the ground and smiled without saying anything.

Heavy footsteps came from the steps outside the hall,

"Regent of the Kingdom, Grand Duke Falcon has arrived!" The high-pitched voice of the roll call officer immediately raised the hearts of the waiting nobles in the hall to their throats.

The matter about the Crown of Thorns just now was reported by the waiter outside, "Your Excellency the Grand Duke Regent." All the nobles hurriedly fell to the ground.

In front of the powerful and glorious Kingdom Regent, no one dared to look up.

The heavy atmosphere was like a mountain, making everyone breathless.

"I'm so sorry! I kept you waiting for so long!" The heavy footsteps suddenly stopped, and a high-spirited voice broke the silence in the hall.

The fat man looked at the nobles lying on the ground around him, and asked the nobles to take their seats first.

Then as arranged in advance, he expressed a few words of praise for Kudan City in a very easy-going manner.

and admiration for the noble moral character of the nobles, in order to appease these nobles who have not yet fully believed in Samour,

Whether you like it or not, you have to show enough grace and reason,

This is politics! This is what the fat man secretly said to himself,

Kudan is not completely in control of the south.

Commercial culture has not yet become the mainstream here, and these nobles are still the aspiration of most people.

For the leader of the nobles, who was lying at the front of the queue, the once brave and fearless Lady Jelinkana, scolding her cruelty,

The fat man also showed enough understanding and even gave a few words of praise

This made Mrs. Jelinkana tremble with excitement, and she spilled the wine on her dress in embarrassment.

She can scold fat people without fear of power, but as a noble, she has an innate pursuit of glory.

What an honor it is to be personally praised by the Regent of the Kingdom!

"I, Samor, will not interfere with your living habits. Kudan is still the same Kudan as before." The fat man raised a pure gold wine glass inlaid with countless precious gems from the gorgeous long table in front of him.

"Kudan is the brightest gem in northern Vekia! And I will make it the center of the entire northern continent, and I will make it the second Zhivadin!

The fat man looked at the excited faces of the nobles. His sonorous and powerful words paused for a moment, and his sharp eyes swept across everyone's faces.

Then he drank the rum filled glass in his hand and shouted to the surroundings:

"It is said that every monarch who takes over Kudan will bring a favor to Kudan. In order to gain the glory of taking over Kudan City and reward you for your loyalty,

I have decided that no taxes will be levied on all commercial trade in Kudan City during this year!

All expropriated noble estates and lands,

Samour will compensate you at the original price!

As for those families who fled with the false king Stian. . . . . .

I take this glass of wine as an oath. As long as they are willing to come back, I will never hold them responsible.

They can also enjoy the favor I just gave them."

"Your Highness the Grand Duke!" The fat man's words made all the Kudan nobles below tremble.

A few particularly excited nobles almost fainted.

Nobility is a class,

There are always more or less connections between nobles. No family can exist independently.

Fatty's promise completely dispelled everyone's worries.

The fat man looked at the excited nobles and continued to act affectionately.

"Many of my troops are Kudan people. From their tearful faces,

What I saw was their love and loyalty to their homeland,

Therefore, I also believe that

Those who were forced to leave their homes by the false King Stian,

They are all innocent!

Long live His Royal Highness the Grand Duke! "The nobles raised their wine glasses excitedly, and loud shouts echoed in the hall,

After arranging Kudan's affairs, the fat man hurriedly returned to Kaiturat Manor and eagerly found Lidakus in the hall.

"It's been three days! How is the investigation?" The fat man anxiously asked Lidakus, who entered the hall with the report. Lidakus carefully handed the carefully compiled report to the fat man's hands.

The fat man's hand slowly turned over the report, and his slightly narrowed eyes were shining with a chilling light.

"Yeah!" Suddenly, the fat man snorted and opened his slightly narrowed eyes.

The hand flipping the report stopped in mid-air,

"Lidakus! The report said that Allensteen is not the biological granddaughter of the old Duke? Has this matter been investigated clearly?" The fat man's sharp eyes were like a knife, making Lidakus feel chilled all over.

I’m really afraid of what will happen! You know you can't hide from here!

Lidakus, who was standing next to him with his hands hanging down, felt nervous. The fat man asked the question in person. Lidakus did not dare not to answer, but he also did not dare to answer randomly.

With a hesitant look on his face, he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, sir, because we don't have detailed evidence for the time being and we can't confirm it in a short time.

But according to the exact information coming from Cresdo,

The news that Miss Allensteen is not the biological granddaughter of the old Duke Douai came from within the Douai family!

"Inside!" The fat man stood up with a cold face, clasping his hands behind his back. After a moment of silence, he asked, "You mean this thing is probably true?"

Such an important thing was leaked at this critical moment. Do you think it was done by the same group of people? "

"Sir!" Lidakus lowered his head and said, "According to the report on page six, it is said that someone stole the old Duke's diary while sorting out the belongings of the old Duke of Douai!"

"What! What a bunch of damn guys!" The fat man's anger could no longer be suppressed at this moment.

According to the burial etiquette of nobles,

A nobleman's personal diary must be accompanied by the owner's coffin when he is buried.

To show that nobles can still remember the memories of their previous lives even when they are dead,

The old Duke's personal diary was stolen, and the burial had to be postponed repeatedly.

The weather in Cresdo in June is hot.

Can the fat man believe that his respected old Duke Douai was buried in a hurry under embarrassing circumstances?

This is a very dishonorable thing for a noble noble with great prestige.

No wonder the death information was secretly delayed for nearly half a month. Coupled with the distance from Cresdo to Kudan in the north, it is normal for it to be delayed by one month.

"Who is in charge of the garrison at Cresdo! I want to remove him from his post! Let him go home to cultivate the land."

The fat man waved his hands angrily, roaring so hard that he almost turned the roof over, his face flashing with a chilling ferocity.

"Sir, the Cresdo area is the defense area of ​​the Twelfth Flag Regiment, but the Twelfth Flag Regiment was already transferred to the northern front by Your Majesty in early June!

Lidakus seemed to have known that Fatty would ask this question, and responded with a strange expression, "Now in the Cresdo area, we only have one local No. 7 Squadron, and they only have more than a thousand militiamen..."

"Hell!" The fat man's angry face was full of helplessness, and he punched the table hard.

Although Lidakus did not continue speaking, the fat man could still understand the meaning.

Now Kleisdo! We have no army!

The person who caused this situation is the fat man himself!

More than a thousand militiamen went to maintain order in Cresdo,

It's just a fantasy,

The fat man glared at Lidakus and wished he could strangle this talkative guy to death.

Cresto is out of control! Don’t you just want to hint this to me?

The fat man waved his hand to Lidakus and said, "You return to Cresto immediately. No matter what means you use, quickly find out Miss Allensteen's current situation and find Hu Keqili. I have something important to ask of him." Go do it!”

"Yes, sir!" Lidakus came out of the hall as if he had been granted amnesty.

"Boom!" A burst of dull thunder rolled across the sky. The sky that was blazing just now was now covered with dark clouds, and large raindrops were caught in the wind and hit my face.

"Crack" a silver lightning flashed across the sky! Illuminating the beautiful endless plains below

"Sir, it's going to rain!" Assistant Luo Linze hurriedly stepped down from the carriage in front and put the rain-proof oilskin cloak on Lidakus.

"Yes! It's raining!" Lidakus walked into the carriage with the support of his assistant and looked at the white lines of rain falling from the sky, thinking to himself.

I just didn’t know that what was flowing on the earth this time was rain! Still blood! "

Central Wikiya, Hooperaban Mountains

The cool wind in June blew through the winding hills in front of me, and the green pine forest made a rustling sound with the wind.

In Linxia, ​​there is a vibrant scene everywhere.

Mountain flowers of various colors bloom all over the hills, and the winding Luxley Mountains extend into the distant sky.

Since ancient times, this has been a secret mountain road connecting Hubolaban to the northern part of the kingdom.

After Hubbara became a smuggling distribution center,

This mountain road has become a favorite road for smuggling caravans.

A dozen carriages filled with smuggled goods, mixed with a few gorgeous carriages, were forced to park on the rugged mountain road.

The wheels of the front carriage sank into a water-filled pit on the roadside due to the heavy rain a few days ago.

Several people dressed as mercenaries were struggling to push the carriage

"Come on! We must rush to the town of Vilas ahead at noon!" the caravan captain Aite urged loudly, and called a few people from other carriages to help push the carriage.

Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves sounded from the mountain road in front. A group of cavalry wearing light armor appeared at the corner of the mountain col in front. The leaping horse hooves stirred up dust in the mountains.

"Miss! What should we do! It's the Samor Cavalry!" Butler Aite whispered beside a carriage. A thin crack appeared in the tightly closed curtain of the carriage, revealing a fair, cold and arrogant pretty face.

As cold and arrogant as snow, her long black hair hangs down on her round shoulders like a shining waterfall.

Even a simple light-colored dress could not hide her beautiful face. She turned out to be the most beautiful woman in the Tire family, Snow Mountain Fire Rose Tiernuris.

"This is your first time walking this road!" The cavalry stopped in front of the horse-drawn caravan. It seemed that they couldn't find anything different about this caravan!

There are many invisible pits here, and it is easy for the loaded carriage to get stuck. Do you need help? "The captain of the cavalry team asked enthusiastically.

In order to support the war in Kudan in the north, and to encourage businessmen to support the front line to the maximum extent,

The Samorian army has ordered the complete opening of all roads leading to the north and west.

Whether they are smugglers or regular traders, Samor's army now treats them all equally

"Calm down! Nothing nervous, just some ordinary cavalry patrolling the mountains!"

When Tirnuris heard the questions from the cavalry opposite, a trace of gloom flashed across her cold and arrogant face.

He soon regained his original calmness,

My trip this time was extremely secretive.

It's impossible for Samor to know, let alone to deliberately intercept him here.

"Send them away!" Tirnulis whispered to her subordinates outside, "Kill them if necessary. Our whereabouts must not be exposed!"

"Yes, Miss!" Butler Aite nodded slightly and made a secret gesture to the nervous men in front. Following Aite, a dozen guards dressed as mercenaries looked at each other and raised their hands at the same time. Placed on the hilt of the sword at the waist

"I think we can pull the carriage out, so I won't bother you all!" Ait saluted the cavalry with a smile on his face.

"Well, I hope you can hurry up! It may rain again." The cavalry captain also found that the situation was a bit awkward, and it seemed that his good intentions were completely wasted. He looked up at the sky, shrugged helplessly, and said to Ait said with a smile on his face, "Kudan has just issued a decree that all businesses will be exempt from taxes for one year. If I were you, I would go to Kudan. That is the place to make a fortune!"

"What? Kudan has been occupied?" The words of the cavalry captain made Ait's face change. They marched in secret for a month. They thought they could reach Kudan under the control of Stian, but hearing this here made them despair. news

"Occupy? No, we Samor call it recovery!" The cavalry captain seemed to be disgusted with the word occupation. He waved his riding whip in the air and said, "Our great Grand Duke personally took action, even those clowns like Stian are worthy opponents. ! "

"It's that damn fat guy again!" A low-pitched scolding voice with complicated emotions sounded from the carriage behind.
