Chapter 103: The Aftermath of the Landslide

Looking to the future, the traversers are full of excitement and confidence.

But in front of them, they have a big problem to solve.

Marquis Henry, who had lost his beloved son and had lost his beloved son, was frantically sending out men to search the mountains of Norma to find out the cause of the landslide.

He is not a fool, how can a landslide be so coincidental! Not to mention that every mountain peak in the Norma region has been inspected, and there are absolutely no "dilapidated houses" that are not strong enough - this is the northern gateway of the Molai Commercial Federation, a super fortress, and a key defense area, after so many years of construction, how can there be a mountain peak that collapses so easily, and there are still a few in a row!

The first thing he suspected was of course Duke Norma, the Norma family had been operating here for many years, for several generations, and they were the ones who had the ability to do big things here.

Moreover, doing things on the mountain peaks and causing continuous landslides at critical moments is also completely in line with the character of Duke Norma, who has lost his territory - the current Duke of Norma is not a person who can decide and do such a thing in a short period of time, but his father is different, the former Duke of Norma is a powerful character known for his ruthlessness. During the last Battle of Norma, he hanged hundreds of families in one go, just to suspect that there was a possibility of collusion between these families and Thrace.

At that time, Thrace really arranged a lot of people in the Norma region, and also developed a lot of wall grass. But everyone was shocked by this cruel method, even if they had relented before, they immediately changed their words. Some people even ran to the duke to turn himself in, begging the duke to just hang himself and spare his family.

The duke's answer was that since he was willing to turn himself in, it could be saved. As long as he can find the culprit, help catch the spy or the person who has betrayed, the matter can end here, and he can act as if it didn't happen.

In order to survive, for the sake of their families, those men took out the strength to find their former accomplices, and in the end Thrace's arrangements in the Norma region were almost wiped out, and only a few spies who were extremely well hidden and never used were spared.

This landslide looks a lot like the duke's handiwork. Maybe he was already preparing at the time, and the current Duke only had to take charge of the next order.

Not only did the Marquis Henry himself judge so, but so did his staff, even ...... Even Duke Norma himself, after getting the news, his first reaction was to ask the butler: "Father, he died of a sudden illness, and he was in a hurry when he died, and he didn't have time to explain many things to me...... You say, could this landslide be arranged by him before his death?"

The butler is the duke's most trusted person, his family was the steward of the Norma family as early as when the Norma family was just starting out, he has served the Norma family for generations, and has been married to the Norma family more than once. After listening to the duke's question, he recalled it carefully for a long time, and then said uncertainly: "My father didn't tell me about the old duke's special arrangement, maybe he thinks I shouldn't know about this matter, or maybe this matter is just a one-way contact with the old duke...... This kind of thing, of course, is that the fewer people who know about it, the better. ”

"But now, we don't know it ourselves," complained the duke, "and my father is really a man of no order, and he is almost sixty years old, and he still goes to engage with the 'Bold Lady,' and ends up in someone's bed...... He only had time to say a few words to me when I arrived! I had to apologize with a shy face...... They didn't ask me for anything, but my father had this kind of thing, so I couldn't hold my head up!"

Speaking of this, the housekeeper could only bow his head and say nothing.

The death of the former Duke of Norma is really a big scandal, and the worst thing is ...... The mermaid princess "Bold Ji", who squeezed him dry, is still a mermaid princess, and still comes to the mainland from time to time to find a pleasing man to marry. This mermaid princess herself is a strong person close to the legendary level, and she is quite decent, except for her inappropriate style, she has no bad deeds, and she also pays attention to your love and my wishes with men, although from time to time there are lustful men who die in her bed, but it didn't bring her any trouble.

Because Her Royal Highness is beautiful and extremely proficient in the way of men and women, it is said that she can give men the ultimate happiness beyond imagination. So although people die from time to time, whenever she comes to the mainland, there is still no shortage of people who try to get into her bed. Especially those wealthy businessmen and aristocrats who have already enjoyed the glory and wealth and are crazy about the thrill, they are even more eager for her. The former Duke of Denorma was not the first great nobleman to fall on her bed, nor was he the last.

But for the son of Duke Norma, it is a fulfillment of a common saying on earth - tears are spoken out.

Speaking of the arrogant Ji, the Duke of Norma's master and servant have no interest in delving into it. No matter what happened, the landslide in the Norma Mountains must be inseparable from the Duke.

Let alone...... When he learned that Marquis Henry's most illustrious son, Jacques, had died in a landslide, Duke Norma was very happy and happy.

That bastard! Acting as a dog for the butcher Richard, to bite himself, a cultural person, caused him to lose the Norma region where the Norma family was the foundation, and he thought about revenge day and night. After hearing the news, the only thing he was dissatisfied with was why he didn't stone Hyde Henry's old bastard to death together!

He was tempted to admit that he had done it, but after consulting with his staff, he changed his mind - this kind of thing seemed cool, but it could easily lead to retaliation from the Thracians. If Marquis Henry had carried out a revenge massacre in the Norma region, some people would inevitably blame Duke Norma.

Therefore, in the end, Duke Norma's approach was vague, emphasizing that he really did not arrange the landslide, nor denying that the landslide was related to the Norma family - he emphasized that "he did not arrange it", and that's it.

Such a statement can not only maintain mystery and deterrence, but also avoid positive contradictions. Maybe it's still a little troublesome, but since you've already reaped the benefits, it's not a big deal to bear a little trouble for it.

A few days later, news of Duke Norma's announcement spread. Marquis Henry, who got the news, was naturally furious, and it is said that Duke Norma, from his ancestors to his descendants, was scolded very badly for more than ten generations in his native dialect.

After scolding, he ordered a revenge massacre in the Norma region, as expected by Duke Norma's staff.

"As long as it can be related to the Norma family, men, women and children, no one will be left!"
