Chapter 408 407. There Are Three Things You Need to Be Wary Of: Coincidences, Women, and Smiles.

Ever since Mo Cheng learned that the delegation had died, he had always felt that something was wrong.

Although the cause of the city lord's death was figured out, more questions emerged.

For example, who placed the mixed curse in Dorothy's body, and who specifically targeted Aundair's delegation.

At the same time, why is it such a coincidence that at the same time that the Napa Port City Lord and his family were all dead, Aundair's delegation also died at the same time.

There was only one Dorothy left.

Mo Cheng once knew a player in [Foreign Land] who specialized in studying this type of Riddler and even case missions. He once told Mo Cheng a secret to finding clues in missions.

…

"There are three things in this world you need to be wary of: coincidences, women, and smiles."

"When you encounter the same thing, you have to be vigilant; when you encounter two things, you need to talk; if you don't want to get involved in trouble, you have to leave decisively; if you hit all three things, then don't believe anyone."

"So, is this what you have learned from your experience after being defrauded of thousands of dollars by the tea girl and the bartender?"

"roll!"

…

Dorothy covered her forehead with her hands. After Baqi appeared, she also guessed something.

Something unexpected, yet reasonable.

"The delegation was sold, and I became the scapegoat." Gritting her teeth, she told the truth that both parties had guessed. Veins popped up on Dorothy's forehead, and she clenched her fists and dug her nails deeply into her flesh.

No matter who tried their best to complete the task, only to find that he had become a scapegoat in the blink of an eye, and the delegation he led was inexplicably killed in an unknown conspiracy. At this time, no one would be angry.

"Do you know who did it?"

"Before the delegation set off, the vice-president of the Offa Council held a banquet for us. After leaving Aundair, we strictly inspected the food and water. It is impossible to be tricked in the Kingdom of Bozeko."

The anger did not make Dorothy lose her mind. She was searching for the subtle clues in her memory. "The most important thing is that the vice president is a master who specializes in curses. Only he can silently cast the curse." Apply it to our bodies. Before the delegation left Aundair, everyone clinked glasses with the vice-president at close range."

"Vice President, I have always been very close to [Zephnaia]."

At this point, Mo Cheng almost understood.

The [Zefnaia] family is a member of the aristocratic faction and is also the vanguard of the aristocratic faction that opposes Queen Caroline's concentration of power.

According to the history of Aundair that Mo Cheng knows, Princess Misas originally died in the [Collapse Incident], and Queen Caroline, who lost her eldest daughter, fell into grief. She had no intention of taking care of the country for a while, and the noble factions found the opportunity to fight for it. A lot of strength was gained, thus forming a balance of power.

It also became the turning point for Aundair's subsequent split.

If Queen Caroline had not fallen into grief due to the death of Princess Misas, then with Queen Caroline's political methods and the absolute support of Prince Charlie, the noble faction of Fairhaven really couldn't defeat Card Queen Lorraine.

Even before Mo Cheng left Fairhaven, he heard some rumors.

Queen Caroline intends to give the nobles a chance to treat their heirs equally.

Well, based on the knowledge that Mo Cheng has learned, the name of what Queen Caroline plans to implement should be called [Tweening Order].

A very effective means of centralizing power.

In the eyes of some people, it is also a very sinister method, specifically targeting noble families.

After all, as a noble, no one has several children. According to regulations, titles and territories are inherited by the legitimate son. The other children either work for the boss or earn a sum of money to live on.

But nobles are also human beings, and they will always have a tendency to love their individual heirs more. The existence of the [Tweening Order] is equivalent to opening an opening for the nobles.

A chance to distribute the family property to the son he loves more.

The nobles naturally knew that this was a virtuous job, but they had no way to counter it for a while.

Because they know very well that this thing targets people's hearts. Can you ensure that all nobles only love the heir and have no idea of ​​giving anything to other children?

impossible.

"I guess I know what they want."

Mo Cheng let out a long breath. He knew what the noble faction was thinking. They couldn't defeat Queen Caroline, so they simply planned to turn internal conflicts into external conflicts.

Once a war starts with the Kingdom of Bozeko, a country with a history of conflict, Queen Caroline will definitely delay the implementation of the [Tweening Order] in order to stabilize the inner courts of various nobles and prevent them from getting into flames.

From Mo Cheng's point of view, both sides are trying to pull the trigger on their own tricks.

[Tweening Order] is a peaceful evolution, and triggering a war simply means turning internal conflicts into external wars, and then it depends on who survives and who dies.

With the news he got from Fairhaven and Mo Cheng's certain understanding of the future, he slowly grasped the context of the matter.

All that remains is to clarify the positions of all parties.

"Principal Muzer had no knowledge and he was not involved."

Mo Cheng recalled the conversation when Principal Muzer found him, "He asked me to secretly come to the Bozeko Kingdom to meet you, help you bring the instrument back, and also find out the mole in the delegation. If he It’s impossible to find me if you know what’s going on here.”

As the highest-ranking earl who was conferred the hereditary earl of Aundair by Queen Caroline and also had a territory that was actually enshrined, it is absolutely impossible for Principal Muzer to ask Mo Zer knowingly unless he completely leads the aristocratic faction. Come sincerely.

Winterhold Magic Comprehensive Academy remains neutral among Aundair, and it can even be said that they have a cooperative relationship with the royal family. The old mage knew very well that as the academy provided Aundair with outstanding talents, he did not need to take sides at all.

All he had to do was remain neutral, no matter which side he was in, he had to show favor to him, and at the same time, no matter who won, he had to give him better treatment to win Principal Anmuzel's heart.

And if you really want all the delegation to die here, it is even more impossible to let Mo Cheng come.

Mo Cheng's strength was obvious to all, including Master Muzer and Queen Caroline. It was a killer arrangement for the delegation. If Mo Cheng came over, he might really save his life.

The positions of the Queen's Faction, the Noble Faction, the Neutral Faction, and the Winterhold Magic Comprehensive Academy were all figured out, and Mo Cheng couldn't help but look out the window.

"Then the final question is, how many people in the Bozeco Kingdom want the Lord of Napa Port to die?"
