Chapter 112: A Mess
"You kid......" Kane shook his head and smiled, and then his face slowly became serious.
"The situation here is complicated, and in general, there are two major factions in King's Port, and there seems to be a shadow of the True God Cult joining them.
These two factions are the 'King's faction' and the 'aristocratic faction', in fact, King's Harbor has been showing signs of discord between the king and the nobles since the last Skeletron incident, and after Skeletron's necromantic army destroyed King's Harbor's economic source, the Xiangguo Plain, this discord intensified, and finally evolved into the current situation.
The two main bodies of the king's faction are the Frank family and the Wood family, which is the royal family, one of which holds the main military power of the kingdom, and the other holds the supreme political power of the kingdom.
In particular, the two families are supported by a legendary-level powerhouse, and they seem to be powerful, far from being able to compete with the aristocratic faction on the surface.
They embraced Wood VI's State Reform Act, hoping to transform King's Harbor from a purely commercial kingdom into a powerful military empire.
There are a lot of interests involved, and there is even the shadow of the Westhorse Kingdom in it.
In short, it is very complicated, and the entanglement of interests of all parties is like a mess, which makes it difficult to clarify ......"
Kane sighed, grabbed the glass of water on the table and took a sip, then continued: "Wood VI's reform plan touched the vested interests of too many nobles, so their revolt was almost inevitable.
Only a handful of professional families like the Franks, as well as a few nobles who did not have much interest in the commercial side of King's Port, expressed explicit support for the reform plan.
But as I said before, the king's faction is now very powerful, and the military and political power is in the hands of two main subjects, so Wood VI is not afraid of the opposition of the big nobles, according to his private words, 'Let them oppose it, what do they have?' Only money! ’”
Kane laughed as if he had thought of something.
He raised his head and looked at Xue Hua with a puzzled expression: "Yes, those big nobles only have money, and they are poor and only have money left, but the problem is that Wood VI even has to deprive them of the only money they have left, how can they not resist desperately?" ”
"Besides, the wealth is moving, these big nobles have plenty of funds in their hands, once they are forced to hurry, what can't they do?"
"We have information before that the Joshua family seems to have been in contact with the True God Cult, but we have not obtained more evidence after investigating this aspect, and now we don't know whether the Joshua family took the initiative to use the True God Cult to be a thug for themselves, or the True God Cult took the initiative to contact them and wanted to use their current situation to achieve some more unspeakable purposes?"
"Besides, in addition to the Joshua family, the main body of the aristocratic faction also has a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen the Majri family, although the pillars of this family have collapsed, but the gold and jewels are still worth a few dollars if they are broken, not to mention this big family with deep heritage?
Now we don't know if the Mageri family has contact with the True God Cult or not, and if they do, then we have to prepare for the worst. ”
"So... Are the two families of the aristocratic faction trying to act by the hand of the True God Cult? ”
Xue Hua asked with a frown.
If this is the case, then among the two invitations on the table, the one sent by Norman may be the Hongmen Banquet!
"Hehe, don't worry, even if our speculation is true, they will never dare to do anything to you......"
Kane smiled and shook his head, signaling Xue Hua to rest assured.
"Those ground rats hiding in the gutter still have this bit of self-knowledge, and doing something to you is tantamount to declaring war on the swarm under your command, and they don't have the courage to do so yet.
Besides, even if they really want to do something to you, with your current strength, are you still afraid that they won't succeed? ”
The old man glanced at him meaningfully.
He is a Hradim mage, and the area in which Hradim is best is in the realm of spiritual insight.
When Xue Hua appeared in this room, Kane could clearly feel that the temperature around him seemed to have increased slightly.
This feeling of rising temperature is an unconscious leak on the spiritual level, and since unconscious leakage can affect the material world, Kane didn't dare to think about how terrifying the effect would be when this power was really fully unfolded......
He immediately thought of the scene when he saw Xue Hua in the teleportation hall of the Demon Fortress, and he was suddenly stunned, the feeling that he was near the sun and would be melted away in the blink of an eye.
Obviously, this kid must have made some major breakthrough in strength, otherwise he wouldn't have brought such a substantial terrifying feeling to him, a legendary Hradim mage.
"Aha... Old man, you said the same, where would I be afraid of them... Hahaha......"
Xue Hua touched his head and smiled, the old man Kane's pointful words just now obviously detected something, I have to say that this old mage's perception is really keen......
"Hey......" Kane shook his head helplessly, and then pulled the conversation back on track.
"So, you can go to this banquet with confidence, but I'm afraid that these two families will choose the same time, in that case... When the time comes, it won't be easy to clean up. ”
"Do it?" Xue Hua was stunned for a moment, was he still discussing secretly stabbing the knife just now, and was he about to open the front of the knife and the gun?
"Of course, King Wood is too radical, he wants King's Harbor to shine another light under his hands, so he will not give up his reform plan, and he will definitely not make any compromises to the aristocracy.
In this case, in order to protect their own interests, the aristocratic faction will naturally have to engage in fierce struggle, and it is almost inevitable that the two sides will not give in to each other, and finally a bloody conflict will break out. ”
Kane pursed his lips: "What's more, there is also the secret hand of the Westhorse Kingdom who stirs up trouble there, and in the end, something strange will happen if the two sides don't fight!" ”
“... Westhorse Kingdom ...... "Xue Hua is already starting to feel a headache.
Now the situation in King's Harbor has been put in front of them in three aspects, namely the king's faction led by Wood VI, the aristocratic faction led by the Joshua family, and the Cult of the True God hidden deep underwater.
Now the Kingdom of Westmar is coming in and mixing in with it, plus there are more than 100 nobles of all sizes in King's Harbor, with their own small calculations and private interest entanglements......
He felt an incomparably headache just thinking about it, and he really wanted to pull out a knife and chop up this mess directly, no matter what kind of king and nobles he sent, he would squat obediently for Lao Tzu!
It's a pity that the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, after all, this is still someone's territory, and in fact, these things have nothing to do with him, and he participated in this here, just to give the True God Sect eye medicine......
