Chapter 104: The Council of Nobles
Andy didn't stay outside the town hall for long, and with Benedictas around, it was basically not too much of a problem. Speaking of which www.biquge.info these workers really have to thank their archbishop, otherwise they would have been arrested and then judged. At that time, not to mention the salary, it may really be lifeless.
Andy returned to the hotel and went to see Doyle first. There is nothing wrong with his body anymore, but the tossing and turning of the past few days has made his body a lot thinner.
Doyle was in his room, eating and drinking, and Layla kept her eyes on him.
"You can eat it, it looks like you're fine!" Andy walked in and said with a smile.
Doyle raised his head, the corners of his mouth were still stained with crumbs, and when he saw Andy, he grinned and said, "I really have to thank you this time, otherwise my life will be all confessed!" ”
Andy smiled and patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to continue eating. Seeing that he was fine, he turned and went back to his room.
The Masonry Brotherhood has already clashed with the nobles of Stormwind, and while this is still the beginning, it is already showing a fierce trend.
Andy sat in the room, touching his chin and thinking about today's events. He didn't know what the nobility of Stormwind was, what kind of range it was, but it was clear that Lothar was definitely an aristocratic class. Then why didn't he care, even if he was sick in bed, then the regent he designated, Berval, couldn't care? He's the Grand Duke!
But what he didn't know was that at this moment, Boval was not a duke, although he was also a nobleman, but what was the use, he had no money in his own hands!
The next morning, Andy went to the palace again to visit Lothar, who was lying in bed. This time, the guards guarding the door did not stop it, but on the contrary, they also separated a person to lead the way in front, and the gap between the front and back was so large that Andy sighed.
When he came to the door of Lothar, he was stopped by a man dressed as a priest, saying that he was performing a spell on Lothar. Andy waited at the door for a moment when a light flashed inside the room.
In a few seconds, the back door was opened, and several priests walked out with tired faces, and one of them didn't even have the strength to raise his hand. Andy was secretly shocked in his heart, Lothar's condition already needs several priests to perform spells at the same time, it won't be long before he can't stand it!
Andy walked into the house, Benedictas was there, and he glanced at Andy, with a faint sadness in his eyes.
Andy said hello to Lothar, looked at the former comrade-in-arms in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh. Lothar's face was already old, wrinkles had increased dramatically, her hair had begun to turn gray, and there was no longer that strong look in her eyes.
When Andy saw Lothar like this, his heart felt as if a stone had suddenly been blocked, and he felt uncomfortable. The spell-caster Lothar gradually fell asleep, his breathing was still steady, but Andy knew that it wouldn't slow him down!
A solution must be found, even to find the person who poisoned him, it must be found!
Benedictas pulled Andy, and the two walked out quietly. "Lothar's condition is urgent, and there is no way to start, but what is happening in Stormwind City right now is very worrying." Benedictas said with a sigh.
Andy glanced at him with a smile and said, "It is said that you are all powerful figures in Stormwind City and even Stormwind Kingdom, isn't this difficult to solve?" ”
"Me?" Benedictas laughed, "I'm just a priest, where can I be considered a powerful person." ”
"And what about the regent Boval, who is both a nobleman and a ruler, why don't you go to him?" Andy said again.
"He, not either!" Benedictas had a hint of worry in his eyes, "It's true that Boval is the regent, but his roots are in the military, not in politics. What politics needs is not how good you are at fighting or how well you can govern the country, but you have to be rich! ”
Andy's eyes widened and his mouth wide open as he looked at Benedictas incredulously, he didn't expect the archbishop to say such a thing.
"Maybe Lothar could have suppressed them when he was there, but now...... Alas......" Benedictas sighed, full of concern for the future of Stormwind.
Andy was also speechless, his open mouth moving but never speaking. After a long silence, Andy said, "According to what you say, could it be those people who poisoned Lothar?" ”
Benedictas frowned and said, "You mean those nobles?" It's not entirely impossible now, but it's unlikely, it's impossible for them to come into contact with this kind of thing. Moreover, Stormwind has just been rebuilt, and it is really not suitable for large-scale internal struggle. ”
Andy's eyes flashed, those so-called nobles definitely had motives, but this can only be speculation.
"Anyway, yesterday's events need to be understood in detail by Bolval, I'm going to go to him, will you come?" Benedictas said with a smile.
Andy nodded, anyway, he had nothing to do, so he went to talk to Boval and get to know those so-called nobles, maybe it would be of some use to his desire to find the murderer.
Benedictas and Andy walk to Berval's office and the hall where they once met Andy. The archbishop was accompanied by the archbishop, and he entered through a side door, so there was no need for guards to carry out the communication.
But there was no Bolval in the main hall, only the two rows of guards, like sculptures, standing on either side.
"Where's Lord Regent?" Benedictas asked as he beckoned a guard.
"Just now Count Katrana sent someone to take the regent away." The guard bowed to Benedictas and said.
Andy looked at Benedictas and asked puzzledly, "Countess?" He had the impression that these titles were not granted to women.
A hint of disdain flashed in Benedictas' eyes, and he whispered, "That Countess Katrana is a great contributor to Stormwind, and she spent a lot of money when it came to rebuilding Stormwind. ”
Andy's heart moved, although he didn't notice Benedictas's eyes, but listening to his tone, there was a sense of disdain. Spending a lot of money, what does it mean?
"Where did they go?" Benedictas asked again.
"In the council chamber." The soldier replied.
Benedictas noticed Andy's puzzled look, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's talk as we go, I'm always going to go to them, and this time it's just to let them know what a big mistake they have made." ”
Andy and the others walked out of the palace, led by Benedictas, towards the so-called council chamber.
"This countess, at the beginning of the city's construction, supported Stormwind City with a large amount of money, thus freeing Stormwind City from its financial crisis completely. If it weren't for her, those nobles wouldn't have had such a lot of financial resources. Benedictas explained to Andy, "This woman was made an earl directly by Lothar in recognition of her merits, but this title is an honorary title and does not have any real power. ”
Benedictas breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "All of this changed the Storm Council, and forced Katrana into it, and people called it the Council of Nobles. They tried their best to win her over, mainly because of her financial resources. In this way, all the expenses of Stormwind City depend on their faces, which is also where Bolval has no choice. The only thing they still feared was Lothar, but Lothar was like that now. ”
Andy was silent for a moment and asked, "Where did this countess come from, originally from Stormwind City?" ”
Benedictas shook his head and said, "It's not very clear, it's from the north of the continent. When the storm was first returned, there were indeed some wealthy speculators from the northern kingdoms, and several of them were from that group of people in this council. ”
Andy frowned, so this countess is a person who doesn't know the details at all, could it be her?
