Duke Norma had been in a coma for almost a day, and when he woke up, he was a little dying, and after the help of the clergy, he recovered a little and immediately asked the butler to arrange for people to track down the origin of the rumors on the streets.

Naturally, the housekeeper had already started to investigate, but the more he investigated, the more puzzled he became—from what he found, it seemed that the rumors were spread by at least twenty or thirty people together. These people are old and young, male and female, fat and thin, and even special races such as half-elves and half-fishmen.

The only thing they can be sure of is that these people did not spread rumors together, but first and second, and it seemed that they had not made an appointment in advance, and they almost came one by one, which can be seen to be quite unprofessional.

But it was these unprofessional guys who spread rumors that dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Norma family.

The Norma family is now in turmoil, and apart from money and a few caravans, the only remaining assets are long-accumulated prestige. But the rumor about Younero had almost completely ruined their prestige, not to mention outsiders who were not familiar with them, and even the loyal nobles who had migrated to Molai with them had already shown some signs of instability.

After all, the nobles had all participated in the original military council, and Yunero's proposal was reasonable, and even won the approval of the majority. But Duke Norma put on an extremely fierce attitude, and even didn't bother to judge, and directly wanted him to die...... When you think about it, this is really unreasonable. Perhaps, as the rumors say, Duke Norma just found a random reason to kill him in order to deny the promise he had made beforehand?

It is said that if the mysterious adventurers were really found by Yunero in the first place, then his credit would definitely deserve at least one count, even if he was promoted to a marquis, it would be reasonable. But when everyone asked about it afterwards, Yunero was vague, so everyone later thought that it was probably just a coincidence.

Now it seems that maybe it was not a coincidence, but the duke gave him a gag order?

Once a person has a prejudice in his heart, it is easy for his thoughts and thoughts to go in a given direction. These nobles had witnessed the scene when Youneru's loyalty was trampled on and left in grief, and their hearts were full of sympathy for him, and they were also very dissatisfied with the duke. At this time, I was provoked by rumors, and suddenly everyone felt that maybe the rumors were not rumors—at least not entirely.

If you think about something, you will naturally express it in your words and deeds. Duke Norma's staff and subordinates usually get along with them, and they can see what they think.

If the hearts of the people are scattered, the Norma family will be finished!

Because the duke was unconscious, they could only go to the Marquis of Trensu to consult. But the Marquis couldn't do anything about it...... Not to mention that he is not a great magician, even if he is a great magician, there is no way to modify the minds of so many people!

It is said that at this time, the best way is for the Duke to come forward to admit his mistake and posthumously recognize Yunero's title or something. But this didn't work, because there was an awkward problem – Yunero was proposing surrender.

Duke Norma has already fled to Port Molai with everyone, and at this time it is right for him to admit "surrender"?

Do you want to die?

Don't look at the Norma family is still a duke, but they no longer have the strength of a duke, and the reason why they can still maintain the dignity of the family now is mainly due to the support of other dukes. If you are foolish to admit that "surrender is right" now, it is tantamount to jumping into the fire pit yourself and forcing the other dukes to withdraw their support for them.

It is forgivable to do sins in heaven, but you can't live for your own sins!

When Duke Norma woke up, the Marquis of Trensu told him about these things in detail.

"And what should I do if I fall to the ground now?" asked Duke Norma.

"We discussed it for a while, first of all, to admit that Yunero was loyal to you, and although he was on the wrong path, at least his attitude was worthy of recognition. "Then it is possible to show no remorse for his previous wrongdoings, and to restore his nobility, but not to give him any more reward." ”

"Is that all right?" asked Duke Norma, with some suspicion.

"That's not enough, of course, but at least it's a little bit of a relief. "Hold off," said the Marquis de Trensu, "for we will have plenty of time, whether we continue to trace the source of the rumors, or arrange for men to spread rumors to the contrary." ”

"Rumors to the contrary?"

"Well, no matter what the rumor-mongers think, if they want to fight against rumors, they naturally have to use rumors. "We can spread all sorts of ridiculous rumors, such as 'Yunelo is actually the illegitimate son of the former Duke of Norma,' or 'there is no such person as Yunelo in the world, only a few masters who take turns to disguise themselves as lizardmen,' or 'the real Yunelo was killed by the Thracians and later he was only dressed in his lizard skin'...... Anyway, you can say whatever is ridiculous and exaggerated. ”

"Will anyone believe such rumors?" asked Duke Norma, skeptically.

"Probably not. "But we don't need to convince people of these rumors, but we want to use them to muddy the waters and confuse people...... When there are rumors flying all over the place, people will subconsciously doubt all the rumors, so it will naturally weaken the effect of those previous rumors. ”

Duke Norma suddenly realized, nodded again and again, and asked the Marquis of Trensu to arrange this matter.

When he awoke he was tired and pale, and the Marquis of Trensu hurriedly took his leave, and went out to arrange for the spread of rumors.

He left the Duke's Palace, got into a carriage, and the magnificent carriage, driven by the coachman and protected by four elite guards, hurried towards the Marquis's Palace.

Not only is the carriage beautifully decorated on the outside, but it is also very luxurious and comfortable on the inside, lying in it, you can't even feel the vibration of the carriage as it moves, like a bed that can sleep peacefully.

The Marquis of Trensu liked to sleep in the carriage, which gave him a sense of satisfaction that "I am so industrious".

But today, he couldn't sleep.

In front of him, a smiling figure with a head slowly deformed into a lizardman.

The Marquis of Trensu wanted to scream, but found that he could not move, as if he had stiffened.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped in the marquis's palace, and the coachman lifted the curtain to wake up the sleeping marquis, but found the marquis lying in the carriage with his eyes wide open, his face as pale as paper, his eyes full of fear, a large white and yellow flowing under his body, and his chest did not rise or fall at all.

He was scared to death.

In the hotel box on the corner not far away, Younero took off the mask she was wearing, and her figure slowly changed back to her usual appearance.

"The mask of a fraudster is a great good!" he sighed heartily.

Beside him, several of the traversers who had rushed to help laughed.

"This Marquis of Trensu is Duke Norma's right-hand man, and he will be killed first, so that he can slowly clean up the culprit. Wang Tuhao sneered and said, "That thing dares to cheat us! If he is allowed to die a happy death, won't it be cheaper for him!"
