063 Hypocritical and shameless aristocrats
Wang You entered the bedroom through the balcony, of course, he had to check it carefully, but there was nothing important to find in the bedroom, only some gold and silver jewelry, and he put it back without moving. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"I'll search after the mission is completed, but forget it now." Wang You left the bedroom.
Then he began to search carefully from room to room.
"This should be a paper room." One of them has a lot of dresses and cosmetics!
In the end, Wang You made a major discovery in the study of this villa.
[Don't hide secrets in the study, it's easy to be exposed!] 】
This time it's not some mysterious booklet with colors and illustrations, but a real quest clue.
【Count Carlos's Diary】quest item.
Why is this a real clue, because this diary is no longer a pure ornament like a book, but a real quest prop.
"Huh?" Wang You, who was about to throw it aside, found that he had found the dawn of completing the task.
The previous part of Count Carlos's diary is full of useless junk information,
For example, I had a spring breeze with that aristocratic lady again, and today I received how many bribes to help with errands, or how many gold coins the chamber of commerce under my hands earned, who honored what good things, and how lovely my daughter was.
These Wang You are not interested, except for some lace news, looking at Lehe, and skipping it at a glance.
Wang You quickly flipped through the garbage content in front of him, and it wasn't until the Demon Realm invasion began that the contents of Count Carlos's diary changed.
At first, Count Carlos heard that the border town near the Storm Sea in the Eastern Continent was missing, and thought it was some kind of bandit group or something, so he didn't care, just listened to it as gossip, and wrote it down in his diary.
Then some of the big cities also lost contact, and it was then that Count Carlos began to pay attention, thinking that there was a rebellion in these places.
Even in peacetime, there will always be people who can't bear to be lonely and want to make some big news, which has not happened before, and they are eventually suppressed by the Human Empire, killing a large number of people every time.
At this time, Count Carlos still didn't care too much, after all, he didn't come to his own territory, he just watched the joke mentality.
"Unresponsive human nobles!" Wang You sneered and said that the fact that the human empire was able to lose half of the country had a lot to do with the inaction of these noble lords.
The diary goes on to write that there is finally news that the invasion of the demons in the demon world has caused the loss of contact with these areas, and at this time, Count Carlos still doesn't believe it, because the appearance of the demons and humans is extremely similar, thinking that this is a fake news, but Count Carlos, who feels uneasy, still sent someone to the lost area to find out the news.
Next, several waves of spies sent out lost news one after another, and at this time, Count Carlos began to become anxious.
And then there was a spy who finally escaped for his life and came back, confirming the news of the invasion of the demon world demons.
The invasion of another world, this is the first time this world has encountered such a situation, and Count Carlos, who heard the news, was stunned.
But at this time, Count Carlos still believed that the power of the Human Empire could stop this invasion of another world, just as he had suppressed the rebellion in the past.
Next, Count Carlos's diary was more messy, and the cities and regions that fell one after another, getting closer and closer to the Earl's territory, made Count Carlos more and more anxious, and finally the news that the Elven Empire's Shadow Song Forest in the Eastern Continent was besieged by the Demon Realm Demon invaders became the last straw that overwhelmed the wavering lever in Count Carlos's heart.
When the demon army of the demon world was about to reach his territory, he fled shamefully, with his family, with his mistress, with his treasures, and with his henchmen, but he forgot to take his own people, forgot his responsibility as a nobleman with real power in the territory, and quietly fled on a dark and windy night.
In this diary on the way to escape, Count Carlos kept repenting of his crimes, feeling ashamed of his ancestors, and constantly affirming his own rightness, such as that he was the pillar of the human empire, and those lowly lords deserved to sacrifice for themselves.
"What a despicable, shameless, hypocritical, disgusting nobleman!" Wang You saw this and sneered at this Count Carlos.
Next, Carlos suddenly met a certain adult, and there is no detailed description of that adult, but from the fear, awe and joy that flow between the lines, you can see the complexity of Count Carlos's heart.
This lord promises to grant him endless lifespan, great strength, and a healthy and strong body, as long as you are loyal to him!
Although Count Carlos is a noble count, he does not have strong personal strength, because he does not have the talent of a mage priest, and he is not willing to work hard to exercise his body, he is just an ordinary person with high power.
In peacetime, of course, this does not matter, power guarantees his position and life. But in this turbulent year, strong personal strength is the best guarantee.
Territory is the guarantee of power, and the nobles who lose their territory have no name in vain, unless they can get their territory back.
Already past middle age and declining health, Count Carlos could not refuse the gift. It is the nature of the nobility to be greedy for life and afraid of death.
From this time on, Count Carlos began to be loyal to this lord, liaising with other nobles for him, and instigating other nobles to abandon their territories and flee with him to the human imperial capital of the Western Continent.
Count Carlos said that the imperial capital is safe, the imperial capital can protect the interests of our nobles, and only then can we have a chance to make a comeback, the demon army is unstoppable by us, and the elves have failed, not to mention us.
Therefore, most of the fugitive nobles were instigated by Count Carlos, and only a few fled on their own. The fall of the Eastern Continent is due to Count Carlos!
"Endless lifespan, great strength, a healthy and strong body, what else could it be, this is a vampire, right?!" Wang You affirmed.
Although it is not explicitly stated in Count Carlos's diary, this is not a guesswork at all!
"It seems that this Count Carlos is the key person in this mission, and all the people are connected to the hidden vampire lord around him."
"It's good luck that I caught the biggest fish when I came up!"
"Looks like we're really lucky tonight!" Wang You said with a smile.
In fact, even if there is no information from the Thieves Guild, Wang You can always find useful clues as long as he visits the royal manor a few more times.
The intelligence of the Thieves Guild only narrowed down the search scope, saving Wang You a lot of time, time equals money, the ancients did not deceive me!
"Now you are going to take this Count Carlos's diary directly to Bishop Flender?" Wang You tapped his fingers on the closed diary in his hand and pondered.
"No, it's not enough insurance, and besides, it's estimated that the reward for completing the task like this is not good!" Wang You gave up this option.
"What to do?"
"Let's wait for this Count Carlos to come back and take a look!" Wang You finally decided that he still needed more clues.
Wang You put Count Carlos's diary back in its place, carefully putting the messy study furnishings back in place to erase the traces left by himself.
Next, Wang You did not wander around the royal manor, but climbed directly to the top of the villa and hidden, ready to wait for the return of Count Carlos.
"Why haven't you come back yet!" Wang You, who felt that he had watched the moon for most of the day, still didn't see Count Carlos come back. In fact, not much time has passed.
"I'm really sorry for the flowers I've been waiting for!" Wang You was lying on the roof of the villa, crossing Erlang's legs, holding leaves blowing from an unknown tree!
"Hey, you're back?!" Wang You, who was bored, suddenly saw a group of people walking on the path in the direction of the villa gate.
