Chapter 142: The Bloody Night of the Karlan Family (1)
Thousands of miles away, when the sky was just getting dark, on the outskirts of Fran City in the southern part of Duis Province, in the banquet hall of the Callland Manor, there was a staggered crowd, and the chats and laughter of many members of the Kalland family turned into a warm wave, and the Count of Romon, who was sitting in the main seat of the banquet hall, also looked at the clansmen with a smile, without the slightest intention of stopping them.

Just yesterday evening, the news of the promotion of Decatart, the guardian of the Watson family, to the Sword Saint came, and everyone, including Luo Meng, had a feeling that the sky was going to fall, after all, it was a real Sword Master.
In order to show the weakness to the big and gather strength to protect himself, Count Romon gave up all the family's properties in Aydin City, and recalled the family children scattered throughout the principality to the ancestral land of the Karlan family. A large number of strategic resources stored in the vault were stored in a large space treasure, and handed over to several important children of the family, if they could not do anything, they would flee the manor under the protection of the clan elders and worshippers, and from then on they would turn into tinder, just waiting for the spring breeze to rise again, and perhaps there was the possibility of recovering the Karlan family.
However, just when all the work was in full swing, the intelligence officers left behind by the family in the imperial capital sent back an earth-shattering news, the new sword saint Decatt was killed in battle against an assassin who raided the Pasha Palace, and even his divine sword that was relied on to deter the great lords was taken away, and then the holy crown of the Watson family was stolen, the massive magic cores collected in the palace vault were stolen, and the chief magician of the palace, His Excellency Eldor, and the tragic death of the four great swordsmen, and many other information came at the same time.
The most terrible thing is that Dios, the only heir of the Watson family, was held hostage by the assassin, and when he was held hostage by the assassin, he offered all his belongings and knelt down to beg for mercy, although he did beg for his life from the assassin in the end, but he fainted under the impact of strong mental power, and after waking up, he became a fool, and now he doesn't even know how to control his urine and urine, and even the hard-hit Grand Duke Watson vomited blood and fainted on the spot, and his body, which was already deteriorating, was on the verge of death at the moment.
The patron saint is dead, the heir is deposed, everyone knows that the Watson family or the Duchy of Watson is afraid that it is coming to an end, and those nobles who have just turned their backs on the four major lords and turned to the Grand Duke are ready to pay a heavy salute one by one and personally drive to their original suzerains to take the blame, and the four major lords who originally thought that the catastrophe was just around the corner are happily gathering family forces and preparing to completely divide the Duchy of Watson, maybe there will be four more powerful vassal states in this land soon.
Tonight is destined to be sleepless, the members of the Calland family, who have escaped from the catastrophe, have completely thrown their aristocratic manners into the trash, and the drunkards holding wine bottles and drunkenly shouting God bless Karlan can be seen everywhere in the manor, and in the study of the Count of Karlan in the manor, the father and daughter of Romen Edith are sitting opposite each other.
Taking a cup of black tea that had just been brewed by Edith, Rohmon drank the hot tea and grinned: "Good tea!" The tea is good, and so is the brewing. ā
"I'm afraid that now I will give you the water to drink the dried willow leaves, and you will think it is good tea." The red lips were slightly pursed, and Edith didn't give his father face at all.
was robbed by his own daughter, Luo Men didn't feel embarrassed, and changed the topic with a smile: "Speaking of which, that assassin is really Duran's kid's subordinate?" ā
"It's almost certain that the theft of the Divine Crown and a large number of demon cores is his handiwork, and he only mentioned to him in the morning that there are super-level demon cores in the Pasha Palace, and there were assassins who raided the Pasha Palace that afternoon, how can there be such a coincidence in the world, but I didn't expect that the unintentional insertion of willows that day would solve a big disaster for my Kallan family."
"But this assassin is too strong, that's a real sword master, and he was killed like this?" Although there had been speculations for a long time, this fact was so shocking that Rohmon couldn't help but sigh.
"It's probably one of the best disciples under that mysterious alchemist, after all, there are sixteen or seventeen-year-old great sword masters, and it's not unacceptable for a sword saint of about the same age." Hearing this, Edith couldn't help but smile bitterly, although she didn't know how to cultivate, but she only saw that the huge Duchy of Watson had only produced Decatur this sword saint over the years, and she also knew how difficult it was to set foot in this field, and now, according to the information sent back, the assassin who almost completely destroyed the foundation of the Watson family's rule turned out to be only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, this shocking news made her really don't know what expression to use except a wry smile, but fortunately, this assassin belongs to Luo Yun, and can also be regarded as an ally of the Kallan family.
Sighing, Edith said in a low voice: "Since this matter has happened, there is no need to discuss it too much, in short, the family must befriend the Niclair family in the future, since Duran needs the magic core metal, it is naturally better, now that the Niklar family has become a big trend, we are not afraid that he is insatiable, we are afraid that he has no desires, and now the cooperation between the two is also quite pleasant, and we have not suffered any losses." ā
"It's natural to befriend Niclaire, the family's copper and iron ingots in the mines in Duis Province have been divided into ten caravans, and they have been escorted to Baishan Town by several elders of the family of Kale, originally I only thought that the family was in a catastrophe, and these mines were afraid that they would not be able to be saved, and those stocks of metal were cheaper, and the Grand Duke might as well be cheap Duran's kid, but who would have thought that this catastrophe would be solved by him like this, as for the loss or something, I lost a baby daughter, didn't I suffer a big loss?"
With a slight flush, Edith shook his head and smiled, "That's a fake engagement, and I can't count it." ā
After taking a deep look at Edith, Rohmon couldn't help but smile and said, "To be honest, if you really like that kid, it's not impossible to fake it, you are embarrassed to say, Daddy, I'll help you." ā
Blushing and bowing his head for a moment, Edith finally smiled and shook his head: "My daughter knows her responsibility, and there have been several countesses in the history of the family, but there is no precedent for marrying outside, and Duran is not a person who can get rich." ā
"Very well, my dear daughter, it is very gratifying that you are not deceived by that little white face, don't worry, I will introduce you to a few real men."
Looking at Rohmon with an old and comforting look, Edith couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Then there is no need, I still have to worry about my life's affairs, well, don't mention this, now that the decline of the Watson family is a foregone conclusion, where is the family going to go?"
Hearing this, the smile on Luo Meng's face quickly faded, and he shook his head and said, "The decline of the Watson family is certain, but I'm afraid that the demise will be very early, look at this." ā
As she spoke, Rohmon handed Edith a secret letter sealed in fire paint to Edith.
With a slight frown, Edith opened the envelope, but his face changed suddenly after just looking at it for a moment, and by the time he finished reading, his pretty face was already gloomy and about to drip water: "Shame." ā
"It is indeed a great shame that the seventy-year-old Archduke was baptized by the forty-year-old Archbishop Watson and became the godson of the archbishop, and the entire Duchy of Watson has since paid fifty percent of the religious tax in exchange for the protection of the Church Order, and the struggle against the Church that the Archduke has begun since the founding of the country has since been declared a complete failure." Gently tapping his knee, Count Romon's face was not good-looking, after all, the Duchy of Watson was their homeland, but now that the church had the lifeblood of the country, how could they feel good in their hearts.
"But this is also the only choice of the Grand Duke, in exchange for the protection of the Church and the opportunity for a holy baptism presided over by the Cardinal of the Archdiocese of Teuton, with which the Grand Duke may have a few more years to adjust the next generation of the heirs of the Principality."
"The next heir? But didn't that guy Dios become an idiot after being hit by mental power, could it be that the church's healing technique could even heal this kind of injury? ā
"Of course it can't be cured, and those gods are not real gods." Haha laughed, Luo Man said in a low voice: "But although he has become an idiot, but that Dios has not become a eunuch, he can still give birth, I heard that now the Grand Duke has recruited dozens of sturdy servants who are rotating his rice from morning to night, striving to give birth to a baby boy as soon as possible, and then the Grand Duke will personally teach, even if this little duke is not very old when he succeeds to the throne, I am afraid it is much more reliable than Dios's dog/, hahaha." ā
Before the laughter had ended, Rohmon noticed that Edith's face had turned red suddenly, and he quickly shut his mouth.
Shaking his head, Edith turned around and left: "So it seems that the Watson family is no longer worried, then tomorrow I will return to Baishan Town, well, it should be called Baishan City now, and the family business over there is inseparable from people." ā
"Go ahead, go ahead, but if you have a chance to recruit Duran's kid, you must not be polite."
The laughter behind her made Edith feel helpless, but when she opened the door, she found a handsome young man with a slightly gloomy face standing outside the door, and it seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time. (To be continued.) )
