Chapter 216 Squinting Eyes Can't Be Provoked
In the conference room of Black Dragon City, the core members of Ren, Ymir, and Mafa are holding a secret meeting.
Canossa is sharing the information gathered by the Chamber of Commerce in recent months.
"Glory City announced the establishment of the 'Glory Kingdom'. The previous wilderness hunting system in the city has been abolished, and then the aristocratic system of Omahid was almost copied. The patriarchs of the five major families became kings, and a large number of nobles were entrusted. Also because of the [Black Current], a large number of ancient ruins have been discovered in the west of the Alcoron Mountains, and it has become a real "hunting holy land". A large number of hunters and civilians have heard the news and poured into the city of glory from the two empires , the tide of population migration is intensifying. In a few years' time, the population of the 'Glorious Kingdom' will be comparable to that of the two great empires."
"Now the old nobles of the two empires are also panicking. A large number of people in the territory have lost, and they have to order martial law, and issued a decree to impose capital punishment on those who smuggle into the city of glory. But the effect is not good. Instead, because of the martial law, the lower class The people are complaining, and the conflict between the nobles and the commoners is continuing to intensify."
"I got the news that the establishment of the 'Kingdom of Radiance' was backed by the manipulation of the royal family of Omar. It is estimated that those people are now regretful. It is foreseeable that if there is no accident, this emerging 'Kingdom of Radiance' will soon It can reach the size of the empire and become a serious problem for the two empires."
"."
Ren and Ymir already knew some inside information about Glory City's plan to establish a country.
Because Metternich reminded of this in the letter that Metternich sent to Ymir back then.
However, he was still surprised when he heard the news came true.
This plot feels like that after a certain feudal dynasty was destroyed by the revolution in Rennes' previous life, a certain leader usurped the fruits of the revolution and announced the restoration, turning history back.
The apparently good "City of Freedom" suddenly turned into a semi-feudal slave system with centralized monarchy.
Moreover, [Kuroshio] also helped Guanghui City Liguo a lot.
A large number of people migrated here, and those guys really got a big deal.
But at the same time, Ryan also thought of the bearded librarian.
This is the city he created by himself, how could he be willing to make such a mess?
Ren asked: "Will Master Kavo allow the five major families to do that?"
Canossa listened, shook her head, and said: "Master Kavo has never shown up. And according to the information obtained by our chamber of commerce, Master Kavo and the 'Glorious City Central Library' have been together since the [Black Tide] broke out. Disappeared."
Ren was surprised when he heard the news: "Disappeared? Could it be that he was killed by people from the five major families?"
Hearing this, Ymir on the side was full of thoughts, and interjected, "This should be impossible. In the City of Glory, no one can kill Master Kavo."
"Yes."
Kanosha also nodded in agreement with this statement, saying: "Master Kavo is in his magic tower, no one can kill him."
After a pause, she changed the topic, and said: "Besides, the intelligence personnel of our chamber of commerce got a very interesting piece of information. It was the day that Master Kavo and his library disappeared. Quentin, the great prince of Omar Assassinated right outside the library!"
Hearing this, Ymir was shocked: "Quentin is dead?"
In order to maintain the absolute safety of the initial construction of the territory in the past few months, she did not allow any spy personnel to collect information. She did not expect such a big incident to happen.
Moreover, from the previous point of view, Quentin was already the next emperor of the Omar Empire, how could he be assassinated? Who killed it?
Assassinating the heir to the throne of Omar, even Sid would not dare to take the risk of war between the two countries.
Also, there is no motivation.
Quentin's succession to the throne will not do any harm to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, on the contrary, it will be even better than it is now.
If the assassin comes from other forces, who is it?
Ymir quickly thought about all the possibilities in his mind, and finally guessed that the one who had the most motivation to kill Quentin was actually her, the eldest princess who was expelled from the core of Omar's power!
When Kanosha said this, she really gave Ymir a strange look.
Apparently she thought so too.
Ymir shook his head and said lightly, "I didn't do it."
Of course Ren knew that Ymir did not do it. But this is strange, who has nothing to do to kill Quentin? Still in Glory City?
Kanosha frowned slightly when she heard Ymir's words, and became even more puzzled.
She continued: "I also have some official sources of information in Omar. So, I got the file on the assassination of the eldest prince Quentin at that time."
With that said, she took out some kraft paper file tapes and handed them to Ren and the others.
What was written on it was the confession of the First Prince Quentin's bodyguards.
When Metternich walked out of the library, he never missed a single word he said to the First Prince.
Seeing the detailed information, Ymir's expression turned slightly strange.
The Omar officials who have access to these top-secret information must have a high position, and now they are actually obtained, which shows that the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" has reached a terrifying level of infiltration into Omar's senior management.
However, it was just a little accident. After all, the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" is now an ally, and Omar has nothing to do with him.
Ren glanced through the file at a glance, and when he saw Quentin's strange death and the inexplicable reversal of the relationship, he was also shocked: "It's not that the eldest prince was assassinated, but that he was going to kill him." My own staff, that guy named 'Clemens F. Metternich', was inexplicably backfired and killed himself?"
He felt that his thoughts had to be sorted out carefully, which was a bit messy.
He once saw the guy who liked to play cards at the "Plague Base" but was obviously "schizophrenic".
Don't tell me, is this Metternich the most powerful staff member of the Queen's faction?
Now the master can't trust the closest staff around him, so he wants to kill him; in the end, he can't kill him, but is fucked instead?
Before sending that letter, Ren realized that the guy named "Metternich" was wrong.
But he also asked Ymir, this guy is not her hidden son, which makes that person strange.
But after seeing the conversations below, Ren suddenly felt that he seemed to understand something.
"Then Metternich and Queen Omar still have an affair? Fuck, the aristocratic circle is so good at it?"
Ren looked at the details behind this information with a face full of disbelief.
This content is so absurd that it is unimaginable, even the troubadours dare not arrange it like this, but it is the accurate information that Kanossa came up with!
Green hat to the emperor? Also killed his son?
Ren suddenly changed his mind about Metternich, he is a ruthless person.
Oh, no, counting the expulsion of Ymir, this guy has done all the things that offended the royal family of Omar.
What kind of hatred, what kind of resentment is this.
Kanosha looked at the strange expressions of several people who saw the information, and showed an expected smile. She also said: "I couldn't believe it when I saw this file. However, I later sought evidence from various sources. Look, this information is absolutely correct.”
Ren asked casually, "How did Metternich kill Quentin?"
"It should be supernatural abilities like 'Curse of Substitute' and 'Damage Transfer'."
When Kanossa spoke about this topic, her expression was slightly solemn. Even if she advanced to Legend, she is not sure about dealing with this strange method of killing.
After a pause, she continued: "It's normal for the 'Gambler Sequence' to have some strange abilities. People who inherit this sequence are not mentally normal. The previous generation of gamblers 'Olatu K Kant' He is just a guy who loves to gamble, and he looks for people to gamble everywhere. But even if it is a legend, no one wants to play cards with them. Because others play cards for money, and they play cards for their lives. Their extraordinary ability seems to be with them. When people play cards, they will become stronger when they win, and if they lose, it seems that they have never heard of them losing."
"curse?"
Ren felt bad when he heard this.
The squinting eyes look like a normal person except for a little schizophrenia, is it so evil?
He thought about his own experience, could it be that he also suffered some kind of "curse"?
Thinking of the presence of so many big shots, there could be someone as a reference, he said weakly: "As for that Metternich, I played cards with him all afternoon and even gambled alone."
Kanosha thought she heard it wrong, she was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Have you ever played cards with that kind of person?"
Not to mention whether the successor of the gambler sequence will play with a low-level superhuman like Rennes. Just playing, you are still alive?
"It seems so."
Then, Renn also took out a poker, which was naturally the "colored clown card" left by Metternich when he lost, and asked again: "Everyone, I. Didn't hit any 'curse', did I? "
Ymir also heard about the original game, but she didn't know that Metternich was the successor of the gambler sequence. Now that I think about it, things are more complicated.
Kanosha felt that things were getting weird, and her already chaotic thoughts became even more chaotic at this moment: "And Kavo and Bazel, the four of you played poker all afternoon? And, in the end, you gambled alone in a round, and you actually Won?"
Ren shrugged helplessly, "Yeah. Then I won, and he even gave me a divination."
Canossa couldn't help but twitched the corners of her eyes, and looked at Ren with faint eyes, "You are really courageous."
After a pause, she said: "However, those gamblers are not normal, but the gambling products are still good. Since you win, he won't harm you."
Hearing this, Ren breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he secretly made up his mind that he would never play cards with strangers again, especially squinting his eyes!
Obviously, Metternich had foreseen that the eldest prince Quentin would kill him.
After all, Ren knew that he was still a "Seer".
But this guy didn't escape, instead killed the master.
This makes people incomprehensible
Several people finally read the file repeatedly, but they didn't understand why Mette did this.
But now that Quentin died, the direct consequence is that Omar's political situation is in chaos, and the old aristocratic group is torn apart.
Previously, the veteran nobles united to drive away Ymir who wanted to reform, and confirmed that the heir to the imperial power was the eldest prince. This is the final selection of a candidate that is in everyone's interests under the game of forces of all parties.
Now that there is a vacancy, certain contracts are broken.
The eldest prince died, and there were a bunch of second, third, and fourth princes in the emperor's harem, and not all the princes were born to the queen.
The families behind the rest of the princes are not easy-going lamps. Now that they have the opportunity to ascend to the top, who wouldn't want to try it?
Without the foreign enemy Ymir, the internal fighting will naturally begin.
Moreover, although there is no evidence that Metternich greened the emperor, it is enough for the Lopez family behind the queen to drink a pot.
Moreover, Emperor Omar's physical condition does not look optimistic, and he probably won't live long.
Coupled with the migration of the bottom population caused by the [Kuroshio]
The political situation in Oma looks like it's about to collapse.
Moreover, it always feels like all the coincidences have come together, and it makes people feel as if there is an invisible big hand manipulating everything.
Ren suddenly thought of what Metternich's "violent personality" said casually: the dirty aristocratic class should be completely destroyed.
This...couldn't be because of the squinting eyes?
