Chapter 131 Sometimes things are more complicated than people imagine
Gail struggled fiercely in his heart, in the final analysis, the biggest reason why he didn't like Wren was that he felt that a young man like Wren who relied on his blood and identity and could obtain a noble status without any achievements and achievements was the biggest irony and ridicule for a pioneer in a field like him. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info An alchemist can easily gain people's respect as long as he has excellent professional standards, but it is often extremely difficult to achieve a higher status and promote to the privileged class and nobility.
Especially since Orlando V, the continuous collection of local power and the reduction of the division of nobles have made the road to the rise of these high-end talents more and more bumpy.
Even a top master like the Titled Alchemist can't prove his value to the empire on some level, and he can't be seen by those rulers who are high up in the sky.
Wren, on the other hand, what did he do? What did he achieve?
No!
The gap caused by this gap in reincarnation technology makes Gale hate these "stupid" aristocrats very much, in fact, on the other hand, he is also hating himself and being cynical.
He doesn't naively think that he can control everything, and his conceit and pride come from the respect that the nobles have for him, and he knows it very well. If these factors are aside, there is no actual difference between him and the civilians outside, and the Viscount of Rennes in front of him does not hesitate to raise the butcher's knife when he needs to, just as he did in Baratan.
Looking at Wren, Gail finally sighed, and he sat up straight to show his attitude, "I may know something, but I promise it has nothing to do with me. ”
Wren sat down again, looking at Gail with a smile, his sixth sense telling him that Gail must know the secret, so Venier even did not hesitate to use such public opinion to create a situation. Wren knew that it was De Coschmann's excuse, so he could ignore it, in case he didn't find out in time? Kill Gale or hand it over?And Wren was convinced that the most direct reason why Sean had rebelled faster than he expected, and with such a big momentum, was also on Gail.
Gail's eyes were complicated and his expression was tangled, he glanced at Blair, and then turned to Wren, "I said it, can you guarantee my safety?"
Wren looked around exaggeratedly, and finally met Gail's gaze, "I don't think there's anything here, in Ortrenburg, that can threaten you, whether it's an object or someone. ”
"You know what? If I say it, maybe even you will be affected. ”
Wren was stunned for a moment, and then laughed happily, "I don't think so either, because I am a golden nobleman, and behind me stand the eight most powerful families in the entire empire, and we are undefeated existences." ”
"It all started with the bloodshed in February last year. Gale lowered his head slightly, falling into the memory, "After the bloodshed of February, many nobles were exiled or purged, among them the remnants of a noble group tried to flee to the Byron Empire for political refuge, and one of the controllers behind De Coschman, the great nobleman of the imperial capital, Aberio, passed through a wasteland between Venier and the city of Selius when they pursued the remnants of this nobleman, and there was a fierce battle there. ”
"I don't know exactly how the battle went, but when Abilio's men came back with the heads of those nobles, they also brought back a piece of ore. When he said about this ore, a strange flush appeared on Gail's face, and his emotions were very mobile, "As the chief metallurgist of Decochmann, I was asked to distinguish the composition of this ore. I would have thought it might have been some kind of bonanza, otherwise Abilio wouldn't have been so careful and nervous. But when I saw the ore, I realized that I was wrong, and I couldn't have been more wrong. ”
"That's not an ordinary ore at all!", Gail's eyes instantly became extremely sharp, and the momentum also set off a shocking wave, he stared at Wren's eyes aggressively, and said word by word: "It is a derivative ore produced by the natural vein of Tiberium Crystal, rich in Tyberium Crystal powder, after smelting, I obtained a piece of half a standard Tiberium Crystal Crystal." ”
"In the province of Bell, between Veneer and Weststream, there is a very good chance that there is a huge Tiberium spar vein hidden by no one who is known. If my conclusion is not wrong, this vein will be the third largest vein in the Empire, and it is very likely that it will even surpass the second royal vein!"
Abilio immediately blocked the news, saying that he would find a way to contact Angelo or Terman and find a way to draw them into his camp, and then secretly set up a mine to dig an underground passage from the West Flow City or the Veneer region to secretly mine Tiberium Crystal. Abilio has been planning for this for more than half a year, and you know the results. Because of your connections, Teman's power has fallen and he has been replaced by Bowen Leos, who is not in the same camp as Abilio. ”
Later, under the persuasion of Abirio, Angelo also agreed to join Abirio's noble group, and his wife was discussing detailed matters with Aberio and other nobles in the imperial capital, but you not only knew about the later events, but also participated in them. There was a riot in Balatan, and I was unfortunately captured by you, perhaps to avoid the news being revealed, so they decided to put pressure on you and the governor in this way. I'd better let you kill me, so the secret will be kept forever. ”
Wren gasped, the empire's second Tiberium spar vein had been mined for more than two hundred and eighty years and had not been exhausted, and the annual output was still an astonishing figure, which also gave the royal family enough capital to squander. If this vein really exists, once it is in the hands of an aristocratic group, it can produce a large amount of Tiberium Crystal, on the one hand, it can impact the existing market, causing the price of Tiberium Crystal to fluctuate, and causing heavy losses to the royal vein. Secondly, it can also quickly accumulate strength, so that Aberio has the determination and strength to fight against the royal family.
But Gail didn't know that Sean's rebellion was not directed by De Coschman, and that he played that inglorious role in it. It can be said that he broke the big plan of De Coschmann and the aristocratic group behind him three times. From the current point of view, the purpose of the second-level steward in Venier is clear - to support Sean as a pariah, and push him to the table, so that he can attract the firepower of the empire, while De Coschman and the aristocratic group behind him quietly mine.
Wren could even imagine that for the sake of this huge benefit, the aristocratic group would even hesitate to stir up the situation in the entire province of Bell, blatantly providing all necessary supplies for those who were willing to stand up. The more chaotic the situation here, the more convenient it is for them to act. For them now, they can earn every day they can harvest, and they can even resort to destructive mining methods for this. As for why they didn't send someone to assassinate Gael, the alchemist, Wren smiled.
Ortlenburg is his world, where every grass, every brick, and everyone obeys his will. It was definitely difficult to infiltrate the city, especially after the outbreak of the grain merchant incident, when the xenophobia in Ortlenburg reached its peak, and almost every outsider was spontaneously and closely monitored. In the words of those neighborhood councillors, every outsider doesn't look like a good person.
In addition, there was a cardinal in the city during this time, and the apostles released one by one from time to time to detect evil for the cardinal's safety, which was equivalent to helping Wren by the way. Anyone or object with strong murderous intent and hostile intent will be marked, and those assassins who have been scanned back and forth by the Holy Light are even more afraid to do it, and they are all pretending to be grandchildren.
At this time, Wren still didn't know that the so-called Veneer's rebellion was related to Gail, not all of them were smoke bombs, and they belonged to the kind of people who had dates and didn't have dates. Wren believed it best, killed Gale or sent it back, everything was calm, and the De Cochman Chamber of Commerce would turn around and get rid of Sean in order to stabilize the situation in Bell, and quickly promote the title succession bill, so that Angelo's wife or children would inherit the city of Veneer, and then secretly open mines. It doesn't matter if Wren doesn't believe it, anyway, there is already a possibility of exposure, so stir the water more muddy.
Get some of the resources in your hands first, as for the direct push after the incident, the people below should be killed, exiled, and closed, anyway, it's all the business of the people below, and it has nothing to do with the aristocratic group. In the absence of clear evidence...... In fact, even if there is very reliable evidence, the empire will not casually do anything to the aristocratic group. An aristocratic group often represents the interests of dozens to hundreds, one or two hundred nobles. Such a huge collection of interests is far from being able to make a decision with a pat on the head, and it must be planned slowly and disintegrate little by little.
If you want to do it directly, you can only set off the third civil war since the founding of the Orlando Empire.
This is also one of the reasons why the aristocratic group has no fear, even if the Empress of Pars knows about them, she is not afraid, and if she does not accept it, she will go to war.
It can also be seen how bad the confrontation attitude between the aristocratic class and the golden aristocratic class has become, and it is no wonder that a political storm will blow at every turn, purge a part of the aristocracy, and cut off the party henchmen of the aristocratic group.
Wren looked at Gale and patted him on the shoulder, "If nothing else, I can guarantee you a knighthood, although it is the lowest, I believe that with your wisdom, you will definitely be able to obtain a higher title." ”
Gail's face turned pale, not with joy, but with fear.
It's just a matter of selling a little information to get a knighthood, isn't my Nima thinking things too simple?
At the same time, Wren also looked at him with pity, "Of course, you may have to spend the rest of your life in a series of assassinations, not only you, but also your family." He paused and smiled, "Didn't you say you wanted to leave? ”
Gail grabbed Wren's arm, "I think it's good here, I want to stay for Orr...... Contribute to the great cause of Trounburg. ”
At this moment, Gale is speaking with great sincerity! )
