In the castle of Morel.

Passas got the news from the steward next to him, Mrs. Wen Li appeared in the castle safe and sound, like a piece of wood, how could it be, even if this woman escaped, she should be affected by the curse, and she couldn't afford to be ill, why did she still appear in the castle unharmed.

For a moment, Passas was in a state of panic and could only find Lord Victor again.

After listening to the Passas report, Victor said: "It seems that Wen Li and the others have a richer background than we imagined, and even so, you have one more task, follow them and find out who has unlocked my curse." Victor was also amazed that he had traded this curse method from Dorith with a lot of money, and he didn't expect to fail the first time he used it.

Did Dorys play himself, or did Wen Li's side really have strong reinforcements.

In another year, the plane channel will be stable, and in the future, it will be a critical moment for Victor's layout, and there should be no accidents at this time.

"What else should I do?" Passas asked.

Victor thought for a moment and said: "This sneak attack on Wen Li was an accident, and it actually alarmed the other party, so you should be mentally prepared to be counterattacked, I have a spatial transfer technique, now I will transfer the altar to the outside of the Golden City, and you will follow." ”

"Yes, honorable Lord Victor." Passas was originally a strong and weak, and a strong when weak, in front of the powerful Abyss Lord, this baron only had the share of obeying orders, where did he have the decisiveness to kill the maid that day. It would be better to move the altar out of the castle and save yourself from being discovered by several legends in the family.

"Being able to force me Victor to this point, Wen Li's group of people is also extraordinary, so wait for my revenge!" Victor's black, dead eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Victor asked, "What else is the actual control of this earl at the moment?" “

Passas thought for a moment: "Only the three towns of White Fog Lake in the south are left, and once this place is lost." She will not have any financial revenue. ”

Over the years, Passas has used various means to control some of the power in the family council, as well as the weakness of most of the family knights, forcing the upper class to recognize his existence, and coercing the lower class to resist Wen Li's taxation in various ways. And he reaps the benefits of it. Because Passas was originally a descendant of Sir Morel and was considered the heir of the family after Wen Li, his arrogant behavior was recognized to a certain extent.

Now there are only two conditions left for Passas's ascension, one is prestige, and the other is the disappearance of Wen Li.

But now that "the world is peaceful", what means can he use to accumulate fame and chase down the orcs who went south in the summer? It takes a lot of sweat. It seems that there is a general consensus within the family to support himself as an earl. I'm afraid it's still a long way off.

Although Passas has forced the knights in the family to submit through various high-pressure means over the years, to a large extent, the idea of the fiefdom lords is "high-level brawl, it has nothing to do with me", anyway, the money and taxes are paid to the Morel family, as long as the family can continue to maintain the noble status of the knights, the people below will have no superfluous ideas.

But Passas also knew that he had to make these people completely recognize him. There is still a long way to go, after all, everyone still recognizes Wen Li's existence. On the other hand. Even if the bottom level is completely approved, how many of the elders in the family council who really hold great power will nod their heads in agreement?

Wen Li has led the family forward over the years, although there is no great achievement, but there is no big mistake, if you wait until Wen Li will naturally grow old. The sons of Passas are probably already 40 years old, and when the time comes, he will accept the title of earl, but it will be excessive, what is the use. For the baron, who is hungry for power, this matter is absolutely unacceptable.

I thought about it so much. For Passas, the most important thing at the moment is to break Wen Li's absolute control over the three towns of Baiwu Lake, and to elevate Wen Li from the economic level, so that the countess is sitting in a high position, but without soldiers, food and land, it will be difficult to perform, and sooner or later she will step down.

"The Three Towns of White Fog Lake, right?" Victor thought silently for a long time, "I know about this matter, I will arrange for someone to intervene in it, and during the next period of time, you will clamp your tail tightly, don't show me flaws, Wen Li's matter, let it go for the time being, if she doesn't look for her, you won't look for her." Plus, I'll find someone to help you kill that warlock and snatch his staff!" ”

"Subordinates obey!" Passas Road.

……

In Mrs. Wen Li's private study.

"Alan, if you look at it from your point of view, now that Passas has been controlled by the Abyss Demon, and wants to use it to plot the Morel family's resources, right?" Mrs. Wen Li said.

Alan nodded earnestly, the early warning of the corpse demon tree made him have to be cautious.

"So how should we deal with this?" Wen Li said.

No matter what world it is, those in power often do not take the initiative to throw out their own opinions, but first listen to what the staff officers around them say, and Mrs. Wen Li asked at this time, which is also the reason.

Alan thought about it carefully, now Passas has unanimous support in the family, either explicitly or implicitly, this is obviously a situation deliberately created by the upper echelons of the Morel family, as soon as it comes, it can prove to everyone on the mainland that the Morel family has not broken the rules among the nobles, Wen Li has successfully inherited the title of earl, and secondly, it can avoid the Morel regime from losing his surname, after all, Wen Li has no Morel blood around him.

Mr. Avalo said that as long as he had the evidence that Passas had murdered Mrs. Wen Li, he would be able to kill Passas on the spot, but Allen did not think so, even if he killed Passas, I am afraid that the Morel leadership would not really turn to support Wen Li, and even Wen Li's approach would be considered a provocation, and the situation would be even more difficult from now on.

"First of all, according to Mr. Avalo's point of view, we must find direct evidence that the Baron of Passas harmed Madame Lady, and only by mastering this can we fight back." Alan Dao.

Wen Li and the others nodded in agreement.

"But we should also know one thing, even if we prove that Passas really wanted to murder Madame Winley and kill him, it doesn't seem to be of any use."

"There is nothing wrong with doing this, but will it be able to get the support of the family council? I'm afraid the family council will think we're breaking the rules. If there is no support, Mrs. Wen Li's situation in the future will still be very difficult, and if one Passas falls, there will naturally be another Sir rising to balance Mrs. Wen Li. ”

Hearing this, Wen Li's heart trembled, what Alan said was right, even if he now has 100% evidence that last night's assassin was Passas, but after killing him, what is the use? If the family council is still the same as before, it just wants to support itself from the face in order to maintain the family's reputation. is still hollowing himself out through various methods, so his situation is still the same difficult.

But no matter what, he will not get down from this position, the position of the earl represents the unfulfilled will of the husband, and it is also the grief of Wen Li's loss of her husband and son, and now that she has not found the real murderer of her husband, how can she easily give up all this.

"So we not only have to prove that Passas is also a danger to Madame Winry, but also that he is a great threat to the entire Morel family, and it is very likely that the Morel system will go to a catastrophe, and only by completely stinking him can we achieve our strategic goals." Alan Dao.

Wen Li silently took a sip of deer milk wine, and looked at Alan silently, this little knight is right, it is useless to kill Past, only by completely exposing his hypocritical side, can he completely stand on the moral high ground, even the Morel family council will not think that it is intended to seize power, which is more beneficial to his future development.

"You talked about strategic goals?" Mrs. Wen Li asked, "How do you define it?" “

Alan knew that Madame Wen Li would ask this, and immediately said: "Baron Passas wants Madame to be bedridden in order to achieve his own goal of ascending to the throne, this is his strategy. ”

"Obviously, our strategy is to get rid of Passas and regain control of the Morel family's soldiers, money, and land in our own hands." Alan said, "This requires vigorous and resolute means, we must get the support of the family council, and there are many ways to get their support, but the most important thing is to let the other party see our strength." ”

"Okay, I like the strategic goal you proposed, that's right, this is the strategy we want to achieve!" Mrs. Wen Li said excitedly.

The old servant Avalo was also excited, although this Mr. Allen was reckless last night and took away Mrs. Wen Li, but since the attack, Alan has not been in a hurry, and vigorously promoted this matter to be smooth and excessive, if it were not for him, the three of them would not be sitting in this stable study at this moment to discuss countermeasures.

Avalo was already very optimistic about Allen, and after this battle, he actually regarded Allen as a rare strength in Wen Li's lineage.

"Tell me, how do you uncover the conspiracy behind Passas and prove that he is harmful to the Morel family?" Mrs. Wen Li asked.

Alan immediately replied: "In the battle last night, there is evidence that Passas has become a minion of the Abyss Demon, and in order to improve his strength and complete the task of the Abyss Lord, Passas must have done a lot of unsavory things, as long as we dig out these things, we can completely stink him." ”

The Morel family meeting is very important to reputation, otherwise it would not have forced Wen Li to become an earl under the opposition of many bards in the family, as long as the crimes committed by Passas are proved and made public, the Morel family meeting will naturally be unbearable.

At this time, as long as Mrs. Wen Li grasps the opportunity properly, she can not only get rid of Passas, but also take advantage of the situation to recover several places that she has lost in the past, and install a knight she trusts as a lord, which is also a good choice.

When planning things, what he was most afraid of was "judgment before trial", and Allen was thinking about exposing Passas's crime at this time, if Passas was not guilty, all ideas needed to be overturned.

But Allen has experienced a hundred years of abyss battles, and knows what the abyss minions did before the disaster, and the attack on Mrs. Wen Li last night proves that Passas will not be an innocent person, so next, it depends on how Wen Li and the three of them find Passas's fox tail.

In this way, today's Victor asked Passas to "clamp his tail" and be a man these days, which can be regarded as prescient, and he is really worthy of being a cold and calm abyss lord.
