[West Fantasy] The noble lady who was divorced became rich

Mariana did not expect that this secret passage had not been made public for so long, and it was even the same as when she passed it for the first time.

"It's really not well preserved." Botis glanced at the smooth wall of the secret passage, and it was hard to imagine that this was a building that was completed decades ago.

"The masterpiece of the dwarves. After all, there is no existence in this world who is better at building secret tunnels than them." Mariana remembered her grandfather jokingly saying that a quarter of the dwarf's life was spent digging tunnels.

And considering that the proportion of dwarves with magical talent is not high, so apart from becoming craftsmen and miners, most of the dwarves live as mercenaries and adventurers, and there have also been dwarf travel merchants who matchmaking on the black market.

"Mary Lorraine, the last monarch of the Lorraine dynasty of Obsta, even during her reign, it was claimed that she was one of the greatest descendants of Capel the Great in Obsta's line When Lena was a child, she followed Mariana's grandfather to meet Queen Mary.At that time, she was just a playmate of the Duke's heir, and the Principality of Brittania urgently needed to draw a line with Solins, so she had to obtain the support of other countries in the south and the permission of the Papal State.

That's why Mariana's grandfather got engaged to the former Grand Duchess of Aquique, and then took the opportunity to win Obsta's support for her.

"Although Queen Mary is a violent, suspicious and powerful woman in the eyes of the enemy, she is highly regarded among civilians, humanoids, and mixed races, and even once banned domestic slave trade." Abigail has also heard a little about the legend of the story: "When she was in power, Obstar had the least number of slaves in the South, and opened the country to the mild-mannered humanoid race. Unfortunately, these policies of hers They were overthrown by your uncle."

Because the abolition of slavery is undoubtedly contrary to religious authority, and will even hit the interests and pride of a large number of people, so after the death of Prince Dunawa, King Obstar, who took the opportunity to seize power, abolished the "Race-like Protection Act".

And those humanoids who had enjoyed super-standard treatment for two or three years became the first existences to be killed by King Obsta as an example.

Even if King Obstar declared that his mother suffered from a mental disorder due to excessive grief, her political foundation for decades was not easily wiped out by King Obstar's words.Therefore, in order to gain the support of the courtiers, splitting Queen Mary's political base, suppressing humanoids, and those mixed-races who have obtained commoner status are undoubtedly the best way for King Obstar to establish his authority.

However, this method was also accompanied by the collapse of the social structure of the Obstar Kingdom and the shortage of frontline supplies.

You must know that although Cantero is poor, it has a large land and abundant resources, so it is not so easy for Obusda to win it.

Moreover, although many people in the south at that time stood by Obstar, it was only a political stance after all, and they would not provide much assistance in the war. Therefore, Queen Mary, like Mariana today, passed the improved military merit system, Encourage some humanoids and hybrids to work on the front line.

Of course, this decision is not without burden.

After all, neither the Papal State nor human history recognized the existence of species superior to humans, so the general public did not welcome humanoids and hybrids to be equal to themselves.

It’s just that in the environment of the great war at that time, Queen Mary did not give humanoids the status of “ordinary civilians” on a large scale, and this part of non-humans was only satisfied with obtaining the status of civilians, so the right voice did not lead to Queen Mary's political collapse.

However, after King Obstar came to power... because of the propaganda of the church and the instigation of the king himself, some people who didn't pay attention to this matter all joined forces to oppose the "humanoid" to obtain citizenship.

When Mariana was young, she had seen some humanoids who had fled from Obstar to the Grand Duchy of Aquique.

That is to say, from that day on, the Grand Duchy of Aquiqui replaced Obstar as the country most friendly to humanoids and hybrids.

It’s just that the Grand Duchess Aquique has learned from Obstar’s lesson and has never mentioned the living environment of humanoids in public, and she is very conservative in related policies. It will take five or six years of observation and a large number of experimental data.

……

"The city of Verdun is 100 meters away." Marianne took out an old and blind map, and Botis noticed that there was a small dwarven seal in the corner.

"This is the greatest amount of exercise in my life." Lena, who was behind, was held by Abigail's arm, and looked at Sera, who was carried behind her brother, with some envy.

"Your Highness, your physical strength is really extraordinary."

"After all, I have no talent for magic! So rather than doing useless work, it is more practical to improve your physical fitness." Mariana, who led the way, looked at the magic lines and distance symbols on the wall every once in a while.

Because the secret path also has the purpose of getting rid of the pursuer, it is engraved with a large number of confusion magic and distracting symbols.

If someone without a map came in, he would probably wander around like a skeleton in the bonus maze.

"It should be here." Mariana, who stopped suddenly, groped for a while on the wall, and then pressed an inconspicuous symbol.

Accompanied by a slightly heavy shifting sound, the wall on Mariana's right side slowly opened, allowing the clear sunlight of dawn to shine into the gloomy secret passage.

"How long have we been walking?" Sera, who was behind her brother, was dumbfounded, "It won't be dawn!"

If Sera remembers correctly, they evacuated in the afternoon, and it is already dawn, so...

"Our goal is Verdun in the north. How long do you think we have traveled?" Mariana put away the map and took the lead out of the secret passage.

Abigail thought that the end of the secret passage was a forest or a protected area, but after she came out, she discovered that it was a forest that exuded an "expensive" atmosphere.

"Verdun Shelter for Rare Plants." Mariana explained: "This is a research site sponsored by the royal family of Obstar. There are two college towers facing south, so there is no need to worry about safety."

"Then how long are we going to stay?" Serra asked after getting off her brother's back.

"Wait until the rebellion in Wangcheng is over." Mariana took out a magic item similar to a pocket watch and stared at the hour hand on it that was heading towards twelve o'clock.

……… I am the dividing line……………

"Is the rebellion over?" Prince Liam paced anxiously in the secret passage, occasionally listening to the movement above the secret passage, his face full of uneasiness.

"May the gods bless us."

"May the gods bless us."

Prince Liam's allies are not sure whether King Obstar will forgive them, after all, they are not King Obstar's flesh and blood, plus Prince Abel's death, there must be someone to replace Prince Liam They are the ones who are responsible, so they can only place their hopes on Pantheon, hoping that King Obstar can leave some support for Prince Liam.

"Your Highness, if Your Majesty asks about the breach of the Obstar Palace, how do you plan to reply to him?" The ally who met Prince Liam before suddenly asked: "Once Prince Abel dies, His Majesty the King will protect you status, but also teach you some lessons?"

"So what? It's strange that my father doesn't punish me." Prince Liam said disapprovingly, "I just want to put on a show, so that others don't suspect me."

Speaking of this, Prince Liam still remembered what Midaline had given him, and decided that if it came to the last moment, he would let the Grand Duchess Aquique go out and take the blame.

However, when he thought of the fact that someone had done something in advance, Prince Liam suspected that someone around him had tipped off the Grand Duchess Aquique, which led to the Cantero people and the Grand Duchess Aquique making an early move.

"I need someone to help me find out the traitors around me." Prince Liam's eyes swept over his confidants one by one, causing some people to swallow subconsciously: "I know that someone will definitely come under all kinds of pressure to tell Ah Grand Duchess Kikwe voted, but I don't blame him,"

Prince Liam said as gently as possible: "Everyone has moments when they can't help themselves, but I don't want him to deceive me twice."

"Your Highness, I dare to swear to all gods that there is no need to question my loyalty to you."

"Your Highness, so do I."

"me too."

The allies present expressed their loyalty to Prince Liam one by one in a depressing environment, and then accepted Prince Liam's probing eyes.

"How about you, Your Excellency?"

Prince Liam looked at the ally whom he had slapped across the face, and the expression on his face became more and more pleasant: "Do you have something to say to me?"

"Of course." The ally took a deep breath, and finally showed a half-smile to Prince Liam: "Greetings from Grand Duchess Aquique."

Prince Liam didn't expect the other party to say that, and the expression on his face twisted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And in the next second, the ally threw himself on Prince Liam, and before everyone could react, he detonated the bomb and the destruction magic on him.

"What's the sound?" King Obstar, who was discussing countermeasures with the Minister of the Seal, looked at the table lamp that was constantly beating on the table, his left eyelid twitched wildly and said, "Have those Cantero people not been caught yet?"

Almost everyone could hear the king's anger, and the Keeper of the Seal couldn't help wiping his sweat and said, "But, maybe someone is moving the boulder on the ruins, so the movement is a little louder?"

"Really?" The word "doubt" appeared in King Obstar's eyes.

In the next second, everyone present was stunned by the earthquake.

"Your Majesty." The garrison quickly supported King Obstar who had almost fallen. The latter's trousers were lit by the falling oil lamp, and even his knees were bloodstained by the falling metal desk lamp.

"Woo..." Amid the turmoil, King Obstar let out an inappropriate, painful sob.
