Chapter 841: The Overconfident Ice Bear Grand Duke
Bouvelus is the capital of the northern county of Ice Bear, and the seat of the family castle of the Grand Dukes of Ice Bear, which is also the most prosperous and lively place in the seven northern counties.
Because Bouvelles is located in a circular valley with a large number of geothermal hot springs, the temperature here is not low at all, even though it is one of the closest places to the edge of the endless in the north.
It is also because of the special temperature of Buvelus that the lords and nobles of Ice Bear County, in the harshest winter, as long as there is nothing in their territory, most of them will choose to come to Buvelus for the winter, and it is precisely because of this habit that the nobles of the entire Ice Bear County have very deep feelings, and they have intermarried with each other, and they are almost all relatives.
In addition, the large and small nobles of Ice Bear County all have more or less Reynolds blood in their bodies, which makes them extremely united internally.
There is a proverb in Dailyat, which refers to the nobility of Ice Bear County, to the effect that as long as he offends a nobleman of Ice Bear County, even if it is just a country gentry, then he will face the revenge of all the nobles in the entire Ice Bear County, and the united Ice Bear County is definitely a decisive force in the entire aristocratic circle of Dairyat.
Merely. It may be because of the influence of their own Reynolds bloodline, so that the Ice Bear County, from the Grand Duke to the Knights, does not seem to like to meddle in the affairs outside the Ice Bear County, as long as those things do not harm the interests of the Ice Bear County, they will not care, such as who the throne of the kingdom belongs to, in the eyes of the nobles of the Ice Bear County, it is not as good as whether their barn is filled before winter.
However, this default rule of not interfering in other matters was broken by the current Archduke Lazio Fran, who not only intervened in the battle for the throne, but even violated the family motto after the new queen succeeded to the throne and ran to Dai Lisa as the palace minister.
Although, it didn't take long for him to be deprived of his position and rights as the palace minister by the new queen and driven back to Bouilles, but the nobles of Ice Bear County knew that this matter was not over, because the grand duke became crazy after being driven back, and he could often be heard cursing loudly in the castle The new queen was also deliberately found to be some women who looked so similar to the queen to be maids, and these women were ravaged, and if they were tired, they would be directly executed.
It's no wonder that Lazio Farran's hatred for the new queen has completely made him lose his mind, even his mind, like a madman.
The most serious thing in recent times is that the cousin of the Grand Duke, Count of Snow Deer, Cambé Farran, has just returned from his studies at the Academy of the Kingdom of Dariat, inheriting the title and territory, and as a result, at the family banquet, he just said a word of praise to the queen, Lazio Farrán blinded one eye, and six of the nobles who dissuaded him at that time were also severely beaten by Lazio Farran, one of whom was the president of the Apothecary Society, who had a high reputation in Ice Bear County.
Cambé Farran has a high reputation among the people of Ice Bear County, he saved a pair of civilian brothers and sisters under the mouth of an angry Ice Bear when he was very young, and when he grew up, he was even more merciful to every poor person in Ice Bear County, and often would help those civilians who were short of supplies after winter, so the civilians of Ice Bear County also called him the benevolent Cambe.
As for the president of the Apothecary Society, Ados's reputation among the people is only higher than that of Cambay Farran.
Because Ice Bear County is next to the endless ice field, the climate is cold and harsh, and no medical school doctor is willing to come here for permanent residence, so many people in Ice Bear County choose to go to the medical school to study, and after completing their studies, they will return to Ice Bear County.
But after seeing the outside world of flowers, everyone's body and mind were attracted, and the cold and lonely Ice Bear County was also left behind by them, only the poor Ados returned to Ice Bear County, and then he spent a lot of time collecting and sorting out the herbs unique to Dyriat, improving the prescriptions, treating the sick, recruiting apprentices, and finally founded the unique Dyriat Apothecary Society, and became the first president of the Pharmacists Society.
The establishment of the Society of Pharmacists reduced the mortality rate of the entire Dyadia by more than half, so President Ados became the most respected person in the whole of Dyadat except for the Queen.
However, these two highly respected people were injured by the Archduke of Ice Bear just because of a word, which made the people of Ice Bear County and its surroundings feel dissatisfied with the succession of the Grand Duke of Ice Bear, and they all called Lazio Faran the crazy Archduke behind their backs.
The common people of the people are dissatisfied with the Grand Duke of Ice Bear, and the nobles of Ice Bear County, except for a small number of nobles who are close to the Grand Duke of Ice Bear, the rest of the nobles are respectful of this Grand Duke of Ice Bear, even if they come to Bouilles for the winter, they will not go to the annual wintering banquet again, so as not to be beaten because of a mistake.
However, it was clear that the actions of these nobles had angered the Grand Duke of Ice Bear, and before this wintering feast, he sent an envoy to all the nobles in Ice Bear County, including the lowest gentry, and ordered all nobles to attend the wintering feast at the Ice Bear Castle in Bouvilles, including Cambé Farran, the Earl of Snow Deer, who had been blinded by him in the previous wintering feast, and Ados, the president of the Apothecary Society.
Although he did not make it clear in the order what would be the consequences if he did not come, but when they thought of the increasingly insane Grand Duke of Ice Bear, and the various crazy behaviors of the past year, especially recently, they would think that the consequences would be very serious, so they did not dare to resist one by one, and all of them came to Bouvilles in advance, waiting for the winter feast to be held a few days later.
Because of the concern about the increasingly crazy behavior of the Grand Duke of the Ice Bear, the atmosphere of this year's Bouveles Winter Festival is not warm, the streets of Bouvelus are a little deserted, there should have been many artists to perform here, a large number of tourists and people gathered here to celebrate the arrival of winter, but now the whole of Bouvelles is as quiet as a dead city, the people are staying at home, tourists are hiding in hotels, and the nobles have chosen to stay in the hot spring hotels they have booked, not to contact the outside world.
All of them were not only worried about when the mad Grand Duke of Ice Bear would go crazy again and make some crazy moves, but also worried about when the queen and the Church's army would come and start a war.
Because, not long ago, Grand Duke Ice Bear did something crazy to the extreme, killing the bishop who was teaching the doctrine to believers on the daily church prayer day, smashing the ice goddess idol, demolishing the ice and snow goddess church, and ordering the expulsion of the ice goddess church in Ice Bear County.
Although there are not many devout believers in the Ice Goddess Church in Ice Bear County, under the full development of the Ice and Snow Goddess Church, almost all the people are pan-believers in the Ice and Snow Goddess, and it is already their daily life to go to the church for a morning prayer every ten days, and the practice of the Ice Bear Grand Duke has undoubtedly angered all the people, and these people are more worried about the attitude of the queen and the church, and they are not willing to start a war with the queen and the church for a madman.
"Rest assured, she won't be here for a few months, and her army won't be on the borders of Ice Bear County. "Archduke Lazio Farran, who was regarded as a madman by the nobles and people of the entire Ice Bear County, stood at the top of the Ice Bear Castle at this moment, staring at the deserted city below, calmly answering the doubts in his heart for the nobles who were still loyal to him.
At this moment, the Grand Duke of Ice Bear is not as crazy as rumored by the outside world, but he seems very calm and wise, coupled with his already excellent majestic body and his own junior high school temperament, so that those who are loyal to him still have strong confidence in him, and do not abandon him like other nobles.
One of the nobles asked boldly, "Can you tell us a little bit about what you really want to do?" ”
Lazio Farrán turned his head to look at the nobleman, who looked a little nervous, then he patted the nobleman on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to know too much, just do your own thing as you normally would." ”
Hearing Lazio Farran's words, the nobleman didn't dare to ask any more questions, lowered his head, and responded.
Then, Lazio Farlan waved his hand at them, signaling that they could leave, and then changed directions, that direction was the direction of the national capital Dai Lisa, and at this moment the calmness and wisdom on his face disappeared, and all that was left was hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Leah Venistan, since I can help you ascend to the throne, I can also pull you down from the throne, and then I will taste the humiliation that I will taste ten times as much." ”
After saying some cruel words, he turned to leave, but at this moment a snow eagle flew in the distance, and the snow eagle circled in the air for a while, and flew into the eagle's nest tower not far away.
Seeing this scene, Lazio Farran frowned, and then did not leave, but waited in place for a while, a rush of footsteps came from the entrance, and then his spy chief walked out with a red wax sealed secret letter, and after seeing him, he quickly walked in front of him and handed him the sealed wax secret letter.
After the secret letter, the Grand Duke of Ice Bear showed a little solemn look on his face, checked the seal on the wax of the secret letter, and found that there was no trace of breaking, so he crushed it, took out the secret letter inside, and put it in front of his eyes to take a quick look.
"Hmph, she's going to find someone to assassinate me, and it seems that I'm right, she's too busy with that to transfer her people away from Dai Lisa, which will provide me with a few months," Lazio Faran said with a smug smile on her face, "A few months is enough, it's enough! Now she's sent an assassin to assassinate me, and she's just in time to give me the handle." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the chief agent next to him, and said, "Immediately monitor any out-of-towners in Bouveles, and I want to know their every move." ”
"Yes, master. The spy chief nodded in response.
The place where they spoke was the highest point in all of Bouveles, the highest spire in the castle of the Ice Bear, which overlooked the whole city, and was the most suitable place to talk about hidden things, for no one would be able to overhear their conversation, at least until today.
However, when the Grand Duke of Ice Bear confidently laid out his plan, he did not know that there was someone standing on the hillside outside Bouvelus watching him and listening to every word of their conversation, and this person was Leo, who had just arrived from Cullenville.
In fact, Leo had already rushed to Buveles in the early morning, but he did not enter the city, and he could sense that the atmosphere in the city was not right, so he decided to learn about the situation inside the city before considering the next step.
Therefore, he has been using the spirit network outside the city to monitor the situation in the castle, and I don't know if it is because of the influence of Leah Vinistan or because of other reasons, there is also no interference device in the ice bear castle, so that her spirit network can still clearly feedback all kinds of information after expanding the coverage.
Just now, he had already noticed the actions of Grand Duke Ice Bear and the others, and knew the content of their conversation.
Leo could only smile disdainfully at the fact that the Grand Duke of Ice Bear was going to use him as evidence against Leah Venistan, not caring about it.
Not to mention whether the Grand Duke of Ice Bear can catch him, even if he can, it is impossible to threaten Leah Winistan.
Because he knew very well that even if Leah Venistan was weak and weak, she was not something that ordinary people could deal with, not to mention that she had so many fanatical cultists around her, the knights of the Church, and the nobles who were loyal to her, it was almost impossible for the Grand Duke of Ice Bear to pull her off the throne.
Unless the Grand Duke of Ice Bear cooperates with the two countries in the south, has the two countries send troops to drag Leah Venistan's men, and allows either of the two gods of the Hill King or the Lord of All Life and Death to take action, it is impossible to defeat Leah Venistan, who is already a demigod.
Through the exploration of the spirit network, Leo already knows the situation inside the Ice Bear Castle well, and it is not difficult to kill the Ice Bear Grand Duke, but he is not ready to do so, he is ready to wait for a suitable opportunity to deal with the Ice Bear Grand Duke, and by the way, create a little trouble for Leah Venistan, and save him from making any trouble when he is leaving.
Although Leah Venistan didn't show it obviously, Leo could still sense that Leah Venistan hadn't given up on what he had told him in the palace at the time, so he decided to take advantage of Leah Venestein's actions. Venistan first completed the deal when she was still weak and left here as soon as possible, as for the other part of the deal, to protect her to recover her strength, he didn't think about it at all, at most he would only leave when her strength was almost recovered, otherwise, when she fully recovered, it was not certain whether he and Sylvia would still be able to go.
