Chapter 118: The Governor's Conspiracy
"The Governor's general, Okeley, brings a heavy gift to congratulate Victor on his lover finally becoming a family and growing old together!"
The words of the welcoming servant were clearly transmitted through the guò amplification magic guide, as if an invisible hand had pressed a switch, and all the sounds disappeared.
"Governor, it can't be the Black Flame Church, right?"
Some guests muttered in a low voice, and felt that it was impossible, the governor is a person from the dark world, even if there is an intersection in the real world, he will not come out, this is an unwritten rule, for thousands of years, no one has ever broken it.
But if not, why didn't the welcome guest announce his name, you must know that in the face of a wealthy family like Napoleon, any title would seem insignificant.
"Maybe it's the one from the Brotherhood!"
Some people pick it up, but the ridicule is more meaningful.
"I heard that the two governors are the same person, I don't know if it's true or not!"
"The three new stars of the dark world, the governor, the magic mountain, and the black knight, among them are the most mysterious of the governor, no one has ever seen his true face, some people say that he is a son of a wealthy family, I don't know if the rumors are true?"
"Shhhh
There are also people among the nobility who are afraid of things and don't want to touch the dark side.
"Isn't that the spotted-maned guy in the Dark Brotherhood, and I heard that his hands are covered in blood, and he is in charge of the affairs of the Dark Brotherhood in Paris, how can he be here?"
These nobles are in high positions and power, and it is impossible for them to be good people, so there are some who deal with those bad guys and know the name.
Oclay, in the dark world, is a terrifying existence.
Soon. A two-meter-tall, lean man walked in, his cheeks sunken and cheekbones bulging, making a pair of eyes bulge high like goldfish, and with a long face, he looked like a wicked man. Absolutely no one wants a second look.
"Why does this guy look like a freak?"
There was a noble lady frowning, there was a feeling of nausea and vomiting, there was no way, Oak's body was full of markings, like scars left after the skin was fresh, and his hands and feet were very long, almost the same proportions, so his arms hung down to the knees.
"What do you want to do?"
Louis reappeared, standing in front of Okere without showing any weakness. If it weren't for Downton, the blonde young man would have been a remarkable talent.
"Come and congratulate Vic!"
Oakre smiled, revealing a mouthful of white steel teeth, shimmering with a cold light in the light of the chandelier.
"No, you don't!"
Louis didn't wait for Oakre to finish speaking, and then interrupted forcefully, although the Napoleonic family had close ties with the Brotherhood behind the scenes, but it would definitely not be put on the table. Because that would undoubtedly be a huge blow to prestige.
"Well, I'm a deformed person polluting everyone's mood. But don't worry, I'll finish talking and leave immediately!"
Oakray shrugged his shoulders, not caring about Louie's murderous gaze, and walked straight to Downton.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
See this scene. The nobles immediately became excited, and with Downton's temper, maybe there was another fight, because everyone knew that a few days ago. Downton had only been assassinated by the Skinners, rumored to have been sent by the Brotherhood.
"Duke Downton, when you were still living in Morning Mist, our brotherhood threw an olive branch to you, but you not only refused, but also killed our regional head and robbed us of the wealth we have accumulated in the dagger mine for decades, which is tens of billions of gold coins!"
Oakre sighed with emotion, but what he said made the nobles in the audience stunned.
"That's how Downton made his fortune!"
Some people were interested in Downton, and the nobles who had studied his family history suddenly realized that it was after he was forced to go to the Dagger Mines that he began his brilliant life.
"Tens of billions, then you should go and check the silverfish in the meeting, why did I only find a billion gold coins?"
Downton didn't bother to hide it, because someone who cares only needs to go to the mine to check it out, and he can find out, and besides, he wants others to be misled, so that the secret of Porusna, the real place of fortune, will be better protected.
"It doesn't matter, we have thrown you an olive branch several times, just eager to get you to join, and the Governor values you very much!"
Oakre bowed, his tone sincere.
"Haha, do you think I'm a hand of a king and will join the Brotherhood?
Downton chuckled.
"It seems that you still don't know us, can I say that a third of the nobles present are our members?"
Oakre glanced at the audience.
The nobles suddenly exclaimed, and there were a few people whose expressions were obviously unnatural, but more of them were expressionless, or confused and speculative.
The real nobles are cunning old dogs, and they will never lose their square inches because of the other party's words.
"Oh, what does that have to do with me? I don't care if other people want to live in a rotten pond with sewage flowing through, I just like to swim in the clear water!"
Downton replied, which immediately attracted the applause of a group of aristocratic young men with a full sense of justice.
"Clear, swimming, haha, you are the king of a country, and you are still so naïve? This world is forever shrouded in darkness, and that bright color is just that the dark aura has not yet been polluted!"
Oakre scoffed, spitting out thick phlegm disdainfully.
"Hey, today is my brother's engagement day, I don't want to kill anyone, but if you talk nonsense, don't think about leaving!"
Louie didn't want to hear it anymore.
"Well, one last sentence, Duke Downton, Lord Governor really values you, so I would like to send you a message in friendship, the Black Flame Church will attack you recently, and that skinner, they also sent it!"
Oaklay was eager to see Downton's panicked expression, but he was doomed to disappointment.
"That's it?"
Downton laughed, since he served the Black Flame Pope's real room in the underground world, he and the church have been enemies, not to mention a skinner, even if the four heavenly kings came in person, he believed it.
"Huh?"
Okere doesn't know why. "Are you really stupid, or are you pretending? The power of the Black Flame Church, you don't know?"
"How can I be sure that it wasn't your Brotherhood who would provoke me to fight with the Black Flame Church and reap the benefits?" Downton asked rhetorically, "and I hate you guys who take advantage of innocent civilians more than the wicked people of the Black Flame Church." All men are equal, all men are brothers, and you have forgotten the purpose of the brotherhood, have you?"
Listening to Downton's sarcasm, some people found it amusing, and chuckled.
"Listen to it!"
Okre didn't care, turned to leave, "Everyone, please enjoy the dinner!"
"Since you're here, don't go!" Lukaku suddenly said, "Louie, you don't mind if I kill someone, do you?"
"Whatever!"
Louis said to him, "It's good that both of you are dead."
"Ahh Isn't this the little monster of the Bourbons? I'm scared!" Oakre hugged his shoulders and looked at Downton as if he was afraid, "Hey, my lord, I'm here to report to you, and I took a heavy gift, but I was killed by someone, don't you think you don't want to go?"
"If it's a different occasion. I'll kill you with my own hands!"
Downton doesn't have any good feelings about these villains. Anyway, the other party's intentions must not be good, and he really suspected that this was a conspiracy laid by the governor.
"Little Warcraft, I know that you have successfully stepped into the marshal rank this year, so don't test your sword with a miscellaneous fish like me, oh, I'll recommend one to you!"
Oakray pointed at Downton with his chin. "Don't look at him as just the pinnacle of the scepter, you, the marshal, may not be able to beat him!"
The audience once again erupted in a series of exclamations, and the guests looked at the little monster in shock, even though he was twenty-five years old. However, at this age, he was promoted to marshal, but he was very young enough to write a book, but soon, their attention was focused on Downton again.
"Did I hear me right, Downton is the pinnacle of the scepter, and can he beat the marshal?"
"Don't say it, Downton is only twenty years old now, and according to this development trajectory, it is no problem to break the record of the youngest to be promoted to marshal!"
"Ah, I think that was won by the First Nova, right?"
The nobles whispered.
"Yes, the first new star was promoted to generalissimo at the age of twenty-one, but I heard that Heinrich achieved this achievement even earlier, at the age of fifteen!"
"Come on, your news is not accurate at all, the first new star can have been promoted a long time ago, but because of the cultivation of martial arts, he has been suppressing his strength, and he only broke out after a big opportunity. ”、
"Yes, do you know the rank of Her Highness Di Lanxue, but she won't lose against the Legend!"
There was no quarrel among the guests, and when it came to the young geniuses of the Lion Princess, their views were strikingly identical.
"Hey, people don't take records seriously, and in comparison, Lukaku is a lot worse!"
Someone muttered in a low voice, with the ear power of the little demonic beast, even the smallest voice could be heard, so his face turned pale.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Oakley suddenly rushed out, his nickname was Spotted-Maned Dog, and his speed was naturally tough.
The little monster was about to make a move, but was stopped by Louie.
"Forget it, the auspicious time is coming!"
"What do you think?"
Homer wanted to ask Downton what he thought of Oaklay's reminder, but the latter didn't notice it at all, as the sacred wedding sonata sounded and a couple walked in on the red carpet.
The nobles immediately stopped talking, put down their glasses, and gave applause.
Downton turned his head, and then his pupils shrank suddenly, he didn't applaud, but crushed the wine glass with a click, and let the red wine spill on his clothes, even if the glass shards pierced his palms, he didn't notice,
"Elaine?"
Downton almost let out a low roar, he had already guessed a little, but when he saw Elaine in a white wedding dress with a man in front of him, his heart seemed to be pierced by a dragon spear, and a huge stinging pain spread along the blood, making him almost suffocate in pain......!
