Chapter 404: Rings Game
"Now you can talk about your next steps?" asked Richard as Selena lay down in her chair and crossed her feet.
Richard sat beside him and took a sip of Shengguang milk tea, and snapped: "It tastes good." The next step is simple - public opinion. ”
"I don't quite understand public opinion. ”
Richard hugged the archbishop and squeezed it casually, and then said slowly: "We now have the largest circulation newspaper in the Eastern Kingdom, and what happened today will be written in the newspaper as it is. Then take an eye-catching headline, such as 'The First Paladin is arbitrary, bullying a decorated veteran', or 'Shocked, Paladin Uther did such a thing, and the Holy Light cried'. In short, we should have words on the title that are unfavorable to Uther. ”
"Does this work? The belief in the Light is still very strong, and distorting the facts would have a detrimental effect on our newspapers, right?"
Richard pinched her face and said: "Of course people's belief in the Holy Light is firm, but it is for the Holy Light, not for him personally, although our title is written like this, but the content is still our usual realistic style, between the lines more or less with our own subjective color, it will not have an impact, even if there is a negative, we are the only newspaper in this world that can learn about the news from all over the world, can they not read it?"
Selena still frowned, "But will this have an effect on Uther?"
"Some people read the newspaper and focus on the whole thing, while some people only focus on the headline. Besides, if you take advantage of yesterday's events a little, it might have a good effect. Furding and Uther were both paladins at the same time, and Furding could make mistakes, but what about Uther? ”
Serena's eyes lit up, and Richard continued, "You can continue to do something about your speech yesterday. The entry point is which Paladin should choose between the law and the knightly code. There are three more paladins in the first batch, including Uther, and Uther's position cannot be shaken, so we can only make some trouble for him. Unless they all die, it won't be impossible for you to take control of the paladins. ”
"That's enough. Serena's eyes sparkled, "There's a hint of instability inside them, and my tentacles can reach in." It's really unrealistic to have a few of them disappear from the current situation, but I'll try not to get them in the way of our plans for the future. ”
Richard hugged Selena and encouraged her. With business done, it's time for some entertainment.
Suddenly, four brown-red tentacles with suction cups hung down from the ceiling of the room, and Seleka looked at Richard and asked suspiciously, "What is this?"
"This one, it's called the ring, our new toy, let's try it. ”
The rings are mainly a test of the athlete's arm strength, but considering that Serena is a woman and a support class, Richard added two that would wrap around her ankles, allowing Serena to perform a variety of movements in mid-air.
"Well, this action can give 9 points, 10 out of 10, I'll adjust it for you. ”
Richard hung on Serena's whole body, correcting her movements, specific movements, hehehe......
Richard and the others had been playing the rings all night, while Ferdin, on the other side, had made his way back to the Hearthburg. It rained for a day and a night at the Fireplace, and the roads were very muddy. Fordin collapsed listlessly on the horse's back, not caring about everything around him, his former captain Arton led the horse in front, Fording was deprived of nothing but the Holy Light and a position he didn't care about, and after Arton sent Fording home, he would serve his new master. Arton looked worriedly at his former master, his shoulders hanging weakly on horseback, the torrential rain running down his cheeks like rain, and seeing his previous master like this, Alton's heart was about to break.
Arriving at the gates of the Great Castle, sadly, there was no one at the gate to greet him, not even the old advisors who had been with him for decades, which was really disappointing.
Arton sighed, led the horse, and sent Fording back to his home. Fortunately, Fording usually doesn't live in the castle, otherwise he might not have a place to live after being expelled.
Delivered to the door, Arton helped Ferdin: "My lord, if you need anything, just tell me." ”
"Thank you. Ferdin's voice hoarse as he looked at his captain, and Arton nodded and turned away.
Fording sighed, pushed the door open, went in, closed the door, found a chair, sat on it, and completely collapsed.
Ferding covered her face with her hands, her limbs trembling, and the endless emptiness engulfed her soul. He couldn't face his wife now, and he heard from Arton that the news of his dismissal had just reached Fort Hearth, and that his family probably didn't know that Fordeen hadn't lied to her for so many years, and now couldn't tolerate telling the truth. However, the time to come is still coming, and his wife, Calandra, when she goes to see her child Tyran, finds Ferdin, sitting in the dark and sobbing.
"Tirio, what's going on?" asked Calandra eagerly. She carried a bright lamp in her hand, pure white light bathed Ferdin's body, lost shadows trembled on the walls, and the gentle wife crouched down beside her husband.
"Where have you been all these days? I'm dying in a hurry, and no one of them will tell me, what's the matter?"
"I ...... I went to Stratholme with Dathohhan, and it happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to inform you......" Fordin said with his head down and a little stumbling.
"Is that so? Tirio, you've been sneaking away lately. If I hadn't known you, I'd have thought you'd gone on a fun affair with another woman. She said teasingly, but Ferding looked up at her. She looked at the numbness in his eyes, and she realized that something was wrong.
"Honey, what's going on? What's going on?"
"Tyran...... Asleep?" Karandra nodded.
"I don't know what to say to you, dear. Fording hesitated, but finally decided to tell his wife the truth, "Now I have been labeled a traitor and deprived of my title......"
Carandra's eyes widened in shock. The look in his eyes told her he wasn't joking, and what was even more surprising was how deflated her husband looked. He had never shown this since they had been married, and to her horror. She shook her head, unable to understand and believe what was happening.
