Chapter 252 A Capable Person (Thunderbolt From the Blue)

When Luther returned to Pompeii Castle, he immediately sent someone to take 50,000 gold coins from the family's treasury and sent a knight to Soren Castle.

Originally, Luther had spent most of the gold coins he got from selling ten snow-bright flowers, but in the last Red Dragon incident, Luther earned another 100,000 gold coins.

So now he can still take out 50,000 gold coins from the treasury.

Of course, after taking away 50,000 gold coins, the treasury was empty again.

After giving instructions on this matter, Luther came to the City Hall again.

If Viscount Silver Wing was killed by force, it would be a simple matter. Old Sol could do it himself, but the matter would definitely be exposed.

As the governor of Orange and the backing of all the lords, the Count of Libya would never allow such a thing to happen. After killing Viscount Silver Wing, he would face the Count of Libya's army.

But there are too many ways in this world to kill people without bloodshed. But those who are capable of using such means must be extraordinary.

You can't do it without any ability.

Luther is a capable person, but he needs to find another capable person to cooperate with in order to accomplish this task.

That is Lelouch.

After Luther arrived at the City Hall, many officials greeted Luther. Luther still nodded slowly one by one, and then came to the mayor's office on the second floor.

The window was open, and the sun and wind came in from the window. But the sun also shone directly on the mayor's desk. Lelouch was not a knight, and he couldn't stand the heat, so he moved a chair and sat in the corner of the office.

"The office is very grand and large, but it's not so pleasant in the summer." Luther said to the embarrassed Lelouch with a smile.

Lelouch rolled his eyes, glanced at the opposite room and said, "I plan to open a small office opposite, work here in the morning, and work opposite in the afternoon, so that I can avoid this annoying sunlight."

In this respect, knights are much more straightforward than ordinary people. Even if Luther is exposed to the sun for a day, he will be fine.

"How about I buy you some potions so that you can become a knight?" Luther asked.

As long as you dare to spend money, a pig can become a knight, but such a knight has no fighting power. However, Luther thinks that it is worth spending this money on his mayor.

Only when Lelouch is fat and strong can he work better.

"Mayor's welfare? That's possible." Lelouch's eyes were bright. Then, Luther thought about how to buy potions from Mr. Tel.

Because the potions used by junior knights are different from those used by ordinary people, and the potions used by ordinary people may be more expensive.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Luther said to Lelouch: "Help me investigate the Silver Wing Viscount Territory, finance, economy, politics, and all aspects."

Lelouch's two big mustaches moved slightly, and he looked at Luther meaningfully, and then asked: "How is Newton?"

Newton and Luther grew up together, and Lelouch was also familiar with him.

"That guy won't collapse so easily." Luther said.

"That's good. If the little fat man is unable to recover, it would be too tragic." Lelouch breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Okay, I will give you a detailed intelligence."

"But it is not an easy task to completely destroy his territory. It requires a lot of energy and certain political support. At least the Count of Libya cannot interfere in this matter."

Lelouch obviously understood Luther's plan and said.

"Like someone, I went to the Golden City several times and accumulated some connections." Luther shrugged.

Lelouch's expression changed immediately. Luther was pointing at him. He went to the Golden City and was full of vigor and vitality, but eventually returned to Pompeii in disgrace.

He didn't want Luther to know about this dark past.

But now it seems that he didn't hide it.

"It must be Kuba, Brown, that talkative guy." Lelouch was very upset.

Then Lelouch's eyes moved slightly, revealing a slightly vulgar smile.

A thief must be guilty.

A person with bad intentions must not have a good expression.

Lelouch said: "Since you are so confident in letting me collect intelligence, you must be confident in destroying his territory. If you can go one step further and kill the Viscount, then we can do something."

Luther sensed the deep meaning, narrowed his eyes and asked: "What?"

Lelouch stood up, very hot, and his heart was even hotter. He unbuttoned his shirt and said with a little interest: "Now the whole kingdom is covered by the shadow of the New Party. The Governor of Orange and the Earl of Libya must be in a mess. Because the New Party wants to take over Orange, it must kill the big figures such as the Earl of Libya and the Duke of Ferger. And we small people will be less affected, so we can take the opportunity to do something. The threat of the New Party is huge, and we can do something before that. If you can kill the Viscount of Silver Wing, then how about you become the Governor of Silver Wing Territory?"

Luther's eyes narrowed into a slit, as if he was an old fox. Luther said, "Lelouch, you are really bad."

"Same here, same here." Lelouch shrugged.

The topic stopped here for the time being, because Luther began to think about this matter.

Before this, Luther's plan was just to destroy the Silver Wing Viscount Territory, so that the Silver Wing family could not stay in the entire territory, and then take the opportunity to kill the Silver Wing Viscount.

And Lelouch's plan went a step further and sought to seize the Silver Wing Territory.

The Kingdom of Prussia is now a period of competition between the real nobles and the court nobles. The king's territory is very large, and the real nobles are not bad.

This led to a stalemate between the two sides.

The king has not established a new real noble for a long time, so how does he manage the territory?

The answer is to establish a governor.

In the king's territory, there is a governor in each province, and then there are various city lords. These governors and city lords are all powerful court nobles, and there is no hereditary right.

This concentrated all power in the hands of the king.

In theory, if Viscount Silver Wing died, the title would be inherited by the Viscount's son. Even if the entire family of Viscount Silver Wing was killed, the title would still fall to the collateral branch of this family.

This is the rule of the nobility.

Count Libya is the maintainer of this rule.

Even if the title of Viscount Silver Wing was not passed on, how could Luther become the governor?

But now the shadow of the New Party is all over the Kingdom of Prussia, this has become possible.

If a riot breaks out in Viscount Silver Wing's territory, Viscount Silver Wing is killed, and Barton's territory is greatly weakened. This is bad news for all the nobles in Orange.

If the New Party makes trouble, Viscount Silver Wing's territory and Barton's territory will become the hardest hit areas.

A strong person is needed to reverse the entire situation.

And the Pompey family, which has a great knight, has the ability to turn the tide.

Although the governor is appointed by the king, Orange is now self-governed by the great nobles on the ground, and the nominal governor is the Earl of Libya.

If the situation is urgent, and with the consent of the Earl of Libya and other great nobles, Luther can become a free governor who does not have to be loyal to the king.

It is just as the saying goes.

Kill the people and exterminate the whole family.

Luther can not only kill the Viscount Silver Wing, but also hope to cut off the roots of the Silver Wing family.

Hey, it is really retribution.
