Throne of the North

Longshan County.

In Longshan City, a county town that is half city and half mountain, the elderly Earl Sauron is waiting for the magicians and warlocks under his command to tell him the progress of the research on the Thunder Giant, and at the same time, he is always paying attention to the distance.

"Do you think the Holy See and that Corisna will know that we killed the Holy See's priest?"

In front of the earl were several of his heirs.

After hearing their father's question, the heirs naturally became nervous.

The leader’s eldest son, Feder Sauron, spoke:

"My father arranged for the cat assassin to kill the missionary. Only we and the cat assassin knew about the whole process."

"The Holy See will never know. Father, your arrangements are perfect."

Next to him, the second son Kashi Zoro also spoke quickly.

"Father, your plan will never be discovered by the Empire. The war between the Empire and the Holy See is not over yet. No matter what, the Empire will not compromise with the Holy See because of this matter."

"No one would have thought that we would kill that missionary on his way to Thunder Cloud County."

"Naturally, no one would think that we would take action. After all, there is no conflict between us and the Holy See."

Killing a papal missionary completely at will is of course difficult to detect.

But this was not the answer that Count Sauron wanted. He sighed and said:

"You still underestimate the Holy See's magical system. With extraordinary power, even the dead can speak. Those necromancers make a lot of wealth with this method, but the Holy See's divine magic must be more profound than the necromancers."

"I never thought this would never come to light."

"That's why I dumped the body over there in Lingdu County."

"It depends on how long it takes for the matter to be exposed, but the key thing is that Baron Ryan of the Tundra Territory will stop the Holy See's pursuit for us."

"Have you not even thought of this? Or do you not think that Baron Ryan of the Tundra Territory is better than you?"

Earl Sauron stared at his eldest son, Feder, and others forgot about it, but this was the heir to the earl.

Feeling his father's gaze, Feder was under great pressure and couldn't help but said:

"Father, you are certainly right, but can the frozen soil Baron really resist the Holy See?"

"He doesn't even have a Golden Knight under his command, and the Holy See is so powerful... He can't borrow the power of the Clayton family."

Earl Sauron shook his head, he was a little angry.

"As expected, you still feel that Baron Tundra's current achievements are all based on luck and the power of the Clayton family."

"But I want you to understand today that everything Baron Lane, the lord of the Tundra Territory, has now is because of himself."

"With the wisdom of that little guy, Baron Lane, he can definitely deal with the people of the Holy See. As long as he can block it, the Holy See will not know how the missionary died."

"Of course, unless Baron Lane tries his best to prove that he has nothing to do with the missionary's death."

"But in this case, he will have to let go of a lot of things, and then he won't be able to keep many of his own secrets."

"Have you really never thought about why the Tundra Territory has a population of 20,000 to 30,000 in just one or two years?"

"There are too many. This is Baron Lane's flaw. No matter what the reason is, he will never allow the Holy See to discover his secrets."

"He has a secret in his heart, so he will stand in front of us. With Baron Lane's wisdom, the Holy See can't find us."

"Also, Fedel, you are wrong. We have recently deepened our ties with the nobles in the south. Therefore, there is a great mage in the Magic Academy of the Imperial City who has become a worshiper of Baron Ryan, and was also told to me by those nobles as a gift. ”

"The last thing you said is right, that is, there is no conflict between us and the Holy See, and there is absolutely no reason to kill a missionary who comes in honestly."

He was teaching his children, hoping they would be smarter.

Several people were still a little confused.

"But, father, why on earth did you want to kill the missionary?"

This matter does not seem to be of any benefit to the Earl Sauron family.

"Why? Let me ask you, who is our enemy now?"

"ah?"

The Weiss family has fallen, and there is no big conflict between them and the Earl of Winter family for the time being. Are there still enemies?

The eldest son Feder thought for a while and then said:

"Father, do you want to deal with the Marquis of Beifeng?"

"Of course, Beifeng Province has always belonged to us for so many years, but now a marquis suddenly came and became the governor of Beifeng Province."

"Do you think the appearance of Marquis Beifeng has no impact on us?"

"You don't know, that guy from Beifeng County might have his teeth broken, hahaha."

"The Marquis of North Wind has become the governor of the province, and the annual tax revenue of the largest city of North Wind is no longer under his control."

"The Winter family loses at least one hundred thousand gold coins every year."

Unlike Earl Sauron's family, whose fiefdom includes Longshan City at their feet, Beifeng City, the largest city in the North Wind Province, does not belong to any noble, but only belongs to the provincial governor and has management rights.

"This is also another layer of insurance. If the Church bypasses Baron Ryan, the biggest suspect will be Earl Winter."

"Because they want Marquis Beifeng to leave the most. Their losses are too great."

"The most important thing is that Baron Ryan and Earl Winter both have cat assassins."

After saying this, Earl Sauron couldn't help but smile. He was also amazed at his plan, which was so perfect. In short, no matter how he thought about it, no one would know that he arranged for someone to kill the missionary of the Church.

Among the three nobles in the province, Baron Ryan and Earl Winter, one is the most suspicious and the other has the most obvious motive. It's not Earl Sauron's turn.

And the purpose of doing this is not only to trip up Marquis Beifeng, but also to make other nobles nervous, so that his Earl Sauron can develop secretly.

Just like Earl Weiss before, the orcs invaded southward and everyone suffered heavy losses, but Earl Weiss hid the barbarian army.

The benefits gained from the Thunder Giant are not small.

"By the way, this cat assassin is really useful."

When Earl Solon of Longshan County was secretly pleased with himself, the Vatican's team had already entered Lingdu County.

"The Holy Light fell in the cold winter. I didn't expect that the place where Father Buffett died was so close to where we were before."

Some missionaries sighed and blamed themselves. They were in the North before, but they didn't expect that Father Buffett's body would also be in the North.
