Chapter 187: Contradictions
readx;? Hearing this, Ian spurted out almost a mouthful of old blood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
What does it mean to die?
It's called death!
As one of the four Grand Dukes of the Empire, the Grand Duke of the Northern Regions actually dared to serve as the head of the Tianping Society, which was no different from a rebellion in the eyes of the upper echelons of the empire. It's just that you are still a duke with a shallow foundation and no military power.
At this moment, Ian simply didn't know how to describe Khan Parkes.
Maybe some of his subordinates will still be loyal to him, but I think that most of the nobles in the basic northern region have already stood on his side.
Of course, this is not to say that there are no other nobles in the Northern Regions who are kind to the sinful people. It's just that no matter how kind they are to the sinners, they are still within certain limits. At this juncture, the vast majority of people will only choose to protect themselves, and they dare not participate in this matter at all.
In a sense, Khan Parks' career as a Grand Duke has come to an end, and whether he can hold on to his life depends on what the upper echelons of the empire mean.
Ian's eyebrows furrowed, and then, as if aware of something important, he asked Elena, "Who will take over the position of Grand Duke?"
"There is now a great deal of opposition to the acceptance of the sinners as the sinners storm the upper city. Yelena's face was not good-looking at the moment: "At present, the highest voice is Count Bell, but in the end, it depends on the emperor's will." ”
"Holy!" Ian cursed. This is clearly the worst-case scenario. Most likely, it is the nobles of the Black Balance Society, who are actually going to take over the Northern Regions in the future. And in the underground of this northern region, the people of the Black Balance Society clearly raised a natural disaster.
"Wait!" Ian was slightly stunned at the thought of this.
The people of the Black Balance Society clearly knew that there was a natural disaster below the Northern Regions, and it was out of control, and it could destroy the natural disasters in the Northern Regions at any time. So why do they still want the position of Grand Duke of the Northern Regions?
This is illogical and completely unreasonable.
If they wanted the position of Grand Duke of the Northern Regions in the first place, then why did they expel the criminals from the country, and why did they ignore the underground Atharis, knowing that once they awakened, they would destroy the Northern Regions?
On the other hand, if the Black Scales wanted to destroy the Northern Regions in the first place, then perhaps it could indeed explain why they deliberately expelled the criminals.
They want to destroy the Northern Regions while ensuring the safety of the criminals to the greatest extent.
But there are still problems!
Preserving the sinners is something that only the "Leaning" faction does, but Ian, though he has not met Earl Bell himself, knows that he is a true Imperial. Even if he belonged to the Black Balance Society, it stands to reason that he should belong to the "balance" faction, and it was impossible for him to make such a huge move to protect the criminals.
To be honest, Ian didn't believe that a member of the Black Balance Society, who might sit on the throne of the Grand Duke, would jump from the "balancer" to the "leaner". He wasn't a minor character like Lawrence, and that wasn't in his own interest.
And there's one biggest problem that can't be bypassed.
Obviously he was already going to destroy the Northern Regions, why would he still want to compete for the position of Grand Duke of the Northern Regions?
Could it be that his guess has been wrong all along, that Count Bell is just a careerist, in fact, he is not a member of the Black Balance Society at all, and the reason why there is a mixed-race girl is actually just an accident?
Otherwise, their series of actions are fundamentally contradictory to each other, and it will not be that the "balancers" and "leaners" have their own plans, and the result is that they are engaged in mutual conflict, right?
The thought that it seemed to be such a possibility suddenly turned on Ian's face strangely. And Yelena didn't expect that in a short period of time, her own kid would have so many bends in his head. She saw Ian's expression different, and thought that he was bothered by not knowing who to trust, so after a little groaning, she offered Ian two good candidates.
"In the upper echelons, Lady Amanda and Marquis Griffin should be trustworthy, and the two of them will definitely not be members of the Black Balance Society. ”
Hearing this, Ian was slightly stunned, and then looked at his mother with strange eyes, thinking to himself, where did you get your confidence, could it be that these two are actually members of the Balance Society?
And seeing her own boy's suspicious eyes, where could Elena not see what he was thinking?
She immediately nodded Ian's forehead angrily and said to him, "Lady Amanda is known for her fairness and rigidity. She won't be on the side of the Grand Duke, but she will be on the side of the North. So if you have a way to prove that there is indeed a laboratory of the Black Balance Society underground, then she will definitely act for the Northern Regions. ”
"As for the Marquis of Griffin...... Elena paused slightly, narrowed her eyes and smiled, "...... You seem to have guessed it. ”
Damn, there really is one!
Ian rolled his eyes. The power of the Tianping Society has been overestimated a bit.
He can see clearly, whether it is the Tianping Society or the Black Tianping Society, these two organizations have already infiltrated all corners of the empire.
It's just that even though there are people who can snitch and there is no certain evidence, how to make them believe in themselves and search the mansion of a nobleman to prove the existence of an underground laboratory is still a troublesome problem.
In this regard, after pondering for a while, Ian decided to take one step at a time, first heal his injuries, find out who the owner of the mansion is, and then visit the two reliable candidates, and strive to let some people in the upper district of the Northern Regions know the crisis of the situation, and at the same time go to the Grand Duke's Mansion to talk to Khan Pax to confirm the current situation of the other party.
As for how long it will take to heal from his injuries, Ian has considerable confidence in the physical fitness of the Sword Saint and the Elina's potion. In two days, I will definitely be able to jump around.
However, what he didn't expect was that on the morning of the third day, when he removed the bandages on his body and visited Fei'er, he unexpectedly found that there was another "mummy" at home, and the shape of this mummy that only showed his eyes was faintly familiar to him.
"Who is this?" he turned to look at Yelena, who was preparing breakfast.
"An unlucky man who was seriously injured and fell right on our doorstep. Elena replied casually: "He has been in a coma for a long time, and he thought he should wake up yesterday, but he didn't expect that he is still in a coma." ”
"Oh. Ian shook his head, and Ben closed the door and left. But as soon as he made the move to close the door, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and he seemed to have seen this person somewhere. Thinking so, he stepped forward, carefully untied the gauze on the other party's face, and immediately exhaled softly.
"Esther!?" (To be continued.) )
