Chapter 265 Big Shots
Golden City, Governor's Residence.
Count Libya owns many mansions, castles, and official residences throughout the Golden City. The most important one is Libya Castle, which can be called a city within a city.
But 90% of the people in the castle are military personnel.
Knights, guards, wizards, it is a real military fortress, not open to ordinary people.
As the Governor of Orange, Count Libya issues decrees in the Governor's Residence. Therefore, this Orange Conference is also held in the conference room of the Governor's Residence.
There are a total of 28 great nobles in the whole Orange.
There are 28 seats in the conference room.
Today is the day of the Orange Conference, so the hall of the Governor's Residence is full of people. Pompey and his son, Alpha Taylor, Al Libya, Mr. Adelman, these are all big figures in the whole Orange.
But they are not qualified to enter the conference room, so they can only wait for news outside.
There are also senior knights and even great knights waiting outside the governor's residence, such as Naz, Wilson. The contemporary Knight Wilson is a heavyweight in Barton Territory, but he can only stand aside here.
Only 28 nobles can enter the conference room.
Because the bloodline of Viscount Silver Wing is cut off, there are only 27 people inside at present.
However, the Orange Conference has been held many times in history, but today there are many bigwigs waiting for news here.
There are two important reasons.
The first reason is that Luther Pompey has been running a ball during this period of time, and has held meetings with many bigwigs, revealing his ambition.
And the only place to realize his ambition is here, the Orange Conference.
So many bigwigs are curious whether Luther Pompey can succeed.
The second reason is the new party.
The scope of the new party's attack is too large. The scope of the attack of this gang of thugs is not limited to the noble lords, but the entire aristocratic class, the rich, the wealthy, and even a large number of middle classes, such as noble artists, noble merchants, wealthy nobles, etc., all of which are the targets of the new party.
The lords are worried about their own rule. The bigwigs are worried about their property.
If the kingdom is destroyed because of this, they will become stray dogs and can only wander to other countries with a small amount of property.
Therefore, the bigwigs are eager to learn the latest situation about how the Orange officials attack the new party.
"If there is no new party in this world, then our life will be much easier. We just need to figure out how to make money and spend money."
Mr. Al. Libya, the playboy, seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed on the chair. He said to Luther sitting next to him in a weak voice.
Next to Luther is Old Sol.
Old Sol is generous and good at making friends, but he is also black in the top circle of the entire Golden City and hardly knows anyone.
How can you make friends if you don't know someone, so he can only follow his son's butt obediently and try not to talk.
Mr. Al's words were said from his own standpoint.
Because for the existing ruling class, the Libyan Earl and many great nobles, the existence of the New Party is to subvert everything.
They hate the New Party and want to wipe it out.
Mr. Al is a playboy who wants to live a life of drunkenness and dreams.
But from the standpoint of an ambitious guy like Luther, danger equals opportunity.
The order and laws of the nobles are extremely solid.
If the Pompey family, the knight lord family, wants to climb up, it must first have strength and financial resources, and then through the king, become the king's vassal and become a real noble with a title.
But the relationship between the king and the great nobles is stiff, and the royal family has not conferred titles for many years.
This road is not easy to take.
The riot of the New Party is an opportunity for the Pompey family.
Under the riot of the New Party, the laws and order of the nobles will become extremely weak. Luther took advantage of the New Party to seize the head of Viscount Silver Wing.
This time Luther will use the New Party to gain a higher political status in Orange.
If the kingdom is destroyed, the top nobles of Orange such as the Count of Libya and the Duke of Ferger are destroyed, then Luther Pompey will have to flee to other countries with his family without saying a word.
But if the kingdom persists, the top nobles such as the Count of Libya and the Duke of Ferger persist, then Luther Pompey will also rise to prominence.
Because the inherent laws and order after the war will definitely be extremely weak.
As long as the Pompey family has strength, they can fly very high.
This is a danger, but also an opportunity.
So Luther just smiled in his heart when he complained to Mr. Al that if there were no New Party in this world, he would just laugh. He nodded and said, "If there were no new party, the world would be more beautiful."
"I am really becoming more and more like a politician, saying one thing but not another."
Luther muttered in his heart.
In the hall of the governor's residence, except for the playboy Mr. Al, all the bigwigs were serious and the atmosphere was still very depressing.
Because this grand council was too important.
It was about the life and death of Orange.
Meeting room.
This was a top-level meeting room. The chandelier above was a magic lamp, emitting a very soft light.
Except for one door, there were no doors or windows. The walls, floors, and ceilings were full of magic runes, and even the top magic cannons might not be able to get in.
The conference table was round and arranged with 28 seats.
The northernmost seat was the largest and most luxurious, belonging to the Earl of Libya. The other seats were all made of wood without any decoration.
At this moment, 27 people were sitting in the conference room, including Baron Philip, Baron Billy, Earl of Windsor, and others who were familiar to Luther.
The Earl of Libya of this generation was a middle-aged man with big and bright eyes, straight eyebrows that looked very sharp, and two big mustaches.
In addition, he is tall and strong, and gives people a very majestic feeling.
The contemporary Libyan earl has another nickname, called the Iron-fisted Earl.
He either does not do things or does them to the extreme, and is swift and resolute.
So if the new party wants to rule Orange, the first target to be assassinated is the Earl.
But assassinating the Earl is also very, very difficult. On the one hand, the Earl has a strong knight guard, and the Earl himself carries countless magic objects to protect himself.
And although the Earl has never taken action, outsiders don’t know what level the Earl is.
But outsiders know that the Earl is at least a title knight.
To kill the Earl, the difficulty is epic.
