Chapter 283: Immortal Grand Duke

The think tank was asked by the question of the person in charge.

After a moment of silence, the wise man said with a wry smile:

"This can only ask Duke Van Diese to ask His Majesty Platinum for an explanation!"

Hearing this, the person in charge looked up at the sky, and then cursed in a low voice.

The wise man bowed his head at this moment, pretending not to hear anything.

"Okay, send someone to Barot Manor immediately, and when that stupid eldest prince finds out that something is wrong, send someone to contact him as soon as possible, I believe he will have a choice!"

The think tank made a note and continued to look at the person in charge.

"The action should be as concealed as possible, and if you can not make trouble for Your Majesty, don't alarm Your Majesty, otherwise we will inevitably be labeled as incompetent!"

"I'm going to meet the butler of the Van Diesse family and congratulate them on the success of their mission!"

The head of the think tank is getting lower and lower.

"Understood, my lord, if there are no other instructions, I will arrange it immediately!"

The person in charge nodded, sighed, and waved his hand to signal that his brain could go out.

The intelligence system of the Principality of Platinum is highly efficient, and the Minister of War, who has invested most of his forces here, is not slow to receive news!

"#$%^&*" The Minister of War made a series of words that even the most popular shrews could not imagine, and the people around him were amazed.

When the military minister was done venting, everyone raised their heads and pretended that nothing had happened.

"My lord, on the list submitted to the adjudication meeting, the heir of the Barot family, is the name of the little prince!"

The reminder from his subordinates made the Minister of War more and more irritable.

"What's the use of saying this now? The Barot family's bloodline does not have Larue-Barot's name on it, which means that we can't make him the Duke of Barot! No one dares to open this opening, otherwise most of the noble families will be upset by the bastards!"

The military minister's subordinates coughed a few times and said:

"My lord, I didn't mean that, I mean, will this sudden change have something to do with Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty Platinum?"

The Minister of War glanced at his subordinates who asked this question, and said with a cold snort:

"You are not a nobleman, I don't blame you for not knowing this kind of thing, the noble bloodline map can only be seen by the couples who have inherited the title for generations, and once the name is written, it can only be crossed out, not erased, since the lady Barot said that there is no name of Larue Barot on the bloodline map, it means that the name Larue Barot has never been written on the map that can prove that he is the bloodline of the Barot family!"

"This also means that the Barot family has never had an eldest son named Larue-Barot, and now the Barot family has only one heir, and that is the son of the Duchess!"

The subordinate bowed his head in shame, feeling a little inferior to the fact that he had not yet received a noble title.

Another subordinate with the status of a nobleman glanced at his colleague arrogantly, and then reminded the Minister of War:

"My lord, this will give Her Majesty the Empress an excuse to directly interfere in the preparation of the heir's list!"

The Minister of War snorted angrily:

"Yes, the list drawn up by the Ministry of Nobles actually passed the title of a duke to a man who is not legally of the blood of the Barot family, this is simply a joke, there is such a joke, Her Majesty the Empress can thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Nobles in the name of dereliction of duty, if it is involved in bribery again, then the Ministry of Nobles is not far from being dissolved!"

These words startled the nobles who spoke.

"It won't be so serious, this is just an oversight because of the suddenness of the incident, Her Majesty the Empress will take away the right to draw up this noble succession list at most, and it will not dissolve the entire noble department!"

The Minister of War smiled coldly and said:

"Do you know what the crime of tampering with the bloodline of the nobles and seizing the inheritance rights of the nobles is?"

Without waiting for his subordinates to reply, the Minister of War roared:

"Let me tell you, the main offender will be beheaded, the whole clan will be reduced to slavery, the accomplice will be deprived of all titles, and the whole family will be sent to the frontier to fill the army!"

"You don't know how many gold coins that Larue Barot sent to the imperial capital?"

"If Her Majesty really investigates, how many families can run away from the families who said something in the Ministry of Nobles?"

The roar of the Minister of War silenced the entire office.

In the middle of the night, there was a sharp knock on the office door, and then without the permission of the Minister of War, an old nobleman pushed the door and walked in.

When the Minister of War saw this old man, he took a deep breath and said in a gentle voice:

"Immortal Grand Duke, how dare you come to me, there is a notice of something, and the junior should go to see you. Then he graciously led the Grand Duke to sit down in his rightful place.

After sitting down in his chair, the old Grand Duke spoke:

"As an immortal duke jointly appointed by Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty Platinum, I am in charge of the inheritance of the nobility and the continuation of the bloodline!"

"The name of immortality means that my noble inheritance is eternal and immortal!"

"But I'm too old to work, and a lot of things have been left to you people, and you are all capable, and you haven't bothered me much over the years. ”

The words of the old nobleman are vicissitudes and majesty.

"But what did you all do this time?"

Speaking of this, the old nobleman slapped the table table lightly.

This beat made all the people with noble blood tremble in the office of the Minister of War, for no other reason, this old man held the lifeblood of all nobles in his hands.

Only this immortal grand duke can enter the coat of arms of a noble family into the imperial noble map, and only this old man can erase any noble family coat of arms from the imperial noble map.

"Boss, what you have learned is that this time we didn't do a good job, and you didn't worry about it!"

The Minister of War smiled and admitted his mistake.

The Immortal Grand Duke glanced at the Minister of War with his eyes, and then said:

"Now that you know what you did wrong, do you know how to get it back?"

The Minister of War bowed his head and said:

"Boss, please command, as long as you make a statement, we will listen to you!"

The Immortal Grand Duke snorted coldly.

"Hmph, is it useful to listen to me? Listen to Her Majesty, at the aristocratic adjudication meeting, everything is up to Her Majesty, understand?"

The Minister of War fell silent and did not agree, and the nobles present also bowed their heads and remained silent.

This made the Immortal Grand Duke unhappy, and said:

"Why, you don't listen to me?"

Everyone still did not react, but the eldest prince was not angry, sighed, got up from his seat, and said:

"Well, if you don't listen to me, you must want to listen to Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty Platinum! Then, see you at the aristocratic adjudication meeting, I don't know how many nobles will be left in the imperial capital after this meeting!"

With that, the old man hobbled to the door.

The Minister of War hurriedly stopped, reached out and grabbed one of the old man's arms, and helped the old man back to his seat.

"Boss, my boss, no one said they wouldn't listen to you!"

The Immortal Grand Duke didn't struggle either, and sat back in his seat, but he didn't say a word.

The Minister of War asked tentatively:

"Boss, have you seen Her Majesty the Empress?

The Immortal Grand Duke snorted coldly and said:

"Old man, I went to see Her Majesty the Empress, but I didn't even enter the palace gate, saying that Her Majesty the Empress was dealing with military affairs, and no one was there!"

"Listen, militaristic affairs!"

The four words of military affairs were repeated word by the boss on the table with his fingers!

The Minister of War took a deep breath, Her Majesty the Empress dealt with military affairs, but did not summon him as a qualified Minister of the Military Department, nor did he summon the Minister of State, and the information revealed by this was already chilling.

"Boss, I have not received any orders to move troops here, and the Knights of the Praetorian Guard show no signs of moving. ”

The Immortal Grand Duke laughed angrily at this, pointed to the Minister of War and said:

"Do you really think you're the Minister of War in charge of the Empire's military power?"

Minister of War, he is indeed the Minister of Military Affairs in charge of the entire imperial army?

"You are a fart, at least when His Majesty Platinum is in the imperial capital, you are a fart, you say it yourself, the order of the military department, and the platinum royal flag are conveyed at the same time, who will the army listen to?"

"As far as you are concerned, I can see clearly the old man in the little gestures that you are muttering in private, and you say, Her Majesty will not know?"

The Minister of War was shocked by the words of the Immortal Grand Duke, and his whole body broke out in a cold sweat, and the inner lining was instantly soaked.

"Are you sure, my lord, that Her Majesty knows?"

The Immortal Grand Duke coldly shouted to the Minister of War, then slowly shook his head and said:

"I'm not sure, but I think there's a reason why Her Majesty suddenly vetoed the list of noble successions!"

"There is a reason why His Majesty Platinum has come to see him this time, stayed in the palace, and has not left for a long time!"

"It's definitely not for nothing that the list can be submitted to the aristocratic adjudication meeting!"

"You people are so dazzled by those things that you can't tell who is the one who controls your destiny and life and death!"

The Minister of War regained his composure, and he knew what the Immortal Grand Duke said, but he didn't think that Her Majesty the Empress would also know what the Immortal Grand Duke knew.

Because the Immortal Grand Duke is a nobleman, a nobleman of the imperial capital, there will not be too much evasion when each family acts.

But for Her Majesty's people, the Minister of War thought, no fool would dare to reveal a single rumor, after all, those who knew had already begun to act, and in the teachings of the Holy Sea God, there was never forgiveness for those who betrayed the faith!

As the spokesperson of the sacred sea god, no nobleman would go to her own death and reveal the matter to Her Majesty.

Thinking of this, the Minister of War rolled his eyes, looked at the Immortal Grand Duke, and said:

"Boss, you're eighty years old this year!"

The Immortal Grand Duke frowned and looked at the Minister of War with dissatisfaction.

As a high-ranking person, a high-ranking old man, it has been a long time since anyone dared to mention his age in front of him.

"Boss, you may know what we are looking for, but I think you must not know what we are looking for can bring!"

The Minister of War waved his hand, and the men in the office withdrew.

The Immortal Grand Duke looked at the Minister of War suspiciously.

"My eldest duke, what kind of thing do you think can make all the nobles of the imperial capital unite and hide from Her Majesty the Empress and risk being chased by the side of the Divine Sea God?"

The voice of the Minister of War was soft and ethereal, as if it was a whisper floating down from the clouds, which evoked reverie.

"It's eternal life, my old duke!"

"Eternal life that can make people rejuvenate!"

Unlike what the Minister of War expected, the old duke did not look a little excited when he heard this information, but looked at him with a mockery.

"God of Light? Are you talking about the God of Light in the Code of Light? Young man, power and wealth seem to have made you forget a lot of things, before the seven true gods came, we did it every day according to the words in the Book of Light, and prayed according to the prayers in the Book of Light every day, when have you ever seen someone live forever?"

"It's only been less than twenty years, and I think time hasn't erased all your memories!"

These words made the Minister of War frown, and said:

"Old Duke, I think your understanding is biased, the God of Light has not shown miracles before, I agree with this, but before, there were no seven gods competing with the God of Light for faith, and there were no empires and nobles, high up in this world!"

"Obviously, the God of Light has been suppressed by the newly descended seven gods for some reason, and has lost people's faith in him, twenty years is a reasonable time, during this time, the God of Light has been dormant, and since recent years, he has begun to want to regain his faith!"

"However, in order to regain faith, the God of Light must always come up with something to encourage and reward his followers!"

"All of this makes sense!"

"I believe that the gods have the power to make people immortal, but this power must be very precious, at least the seven new gods have never descended such divine graces!"

"But the God of Light is different, he is a loser, and if he wants to regain victory and regain his faith, he is destined to pay more!"

"Old Duke, even if I am a fool, but in the entire circle of nobles in the imperial capital, is there not a smart person?"

"If you don't see tangible benefits, believe me, no nobleman will follow me!"

"It's not that we can't recognize who is in control of our destiny and our lives, but we know it so clearly that we want to get rid of the big hand that controls our destiny and our lives!"

"And the God of Light is undoubtedly a good choice!"

This time it was the turn of the Immortal Grand Duke to be silent, eternal life, forever a desire that an intelligent life could not abandon!

Especially for those whose days are running out.

The Minister of War looked at the Immortal Grand Duke, waiting for this patriarch in the noble circle of the imperial capital to give him an answer.

"Even if what you say is true, aren't you afraid that you will die by the Empress's sword before you receive that precious divine grace?"

"You are so diligent in maintaining the heirs on that list, probably because they also joined your plan, or did you use this list in exchange for them to shut up?"

The Minister of the Military Department looked embarrassed, this old man really deserved to be a veteran figure among the nobles, and he saw the key to the matter at a glance.

"You're right, as long as one of the twenty-six noble families is dissatisfied and pokes out the matter, I think Her Majesty the Empress will definitely not mind sending the Holy See Judgment Knights from all over the country to wash this imperial capital into blood!"

The gaze of the Minister of War became firm, and he looked at the Immortal Grand Duke:

"My eldest duke, I think that if you can appear at the meeting of the nobles, with your prestige, with your power, and our support, I think even Her Majesty the Empress will ......"

The words are not explained, but the meaning is clearly expressed.
