Chapter 996: Conspiracy
"Your High......ness!"
"Are you alright?" His Highness Dean ......"
A hazy voice in his ears called Areguso's scattered consciousness back to the present world from the distant warped void, and Areguso, who looked at the familiar scene around him and wore the appearance of 'Dean', waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, go on." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the temporary lord's mansion in the Golden Spike Territory of the Bellama Kingdom, several territorial officials who were meeting in the conference room looked at the second prince Dean with puzzled expressions, and His Royal Highness seemed to be very tired these days, and many times he rested in his room, unless some important things from the royal capital and the usual territorial chores were handed over to the officials below.
"It's Your Highness~ So about the Punk and Gredo families who were executed because of Silvador in the Golden Spike Territory, the property left by the two families is now being counted, and recently some people seem to have taken out some documents to try to prove that they are the heirs of the two families. ”
"And then?" Listen, 'Dean' was ready to close his eyes again.
The official who was reporting paused, and then said in a calm tone: "Now as a special period, these properties should be temporarily seized, and after verifying the identity of the other party, they will be returned according to Alu's regulations, but according to the intelligence, the members of the Punk and Gredo families have been killed by Silvado and there are no survivors, and it is believed that the other party may be a liar, so it is better to put this property into the territorial treasury." ”
The official's meaning is very clear, there is no one in the Punk and Gredo families anyway, it is better to directly transfer these left ownerless property to the pocket of His Royal Highness the Prince, as for the legal heirs of the two families who hold the so-called documents, they don't know where they came from, let alone whether they are really from the two families, even if so? The members of the Punk and Gredo families have been killed by the despicable Silvador, and the so-called heirs of the two families are nothing more than a group of impostor liars, and even if the documents in their hands are true, they were quietly stolen when the two families were destroyed, and there is no way to prove anything.
There is never a trumped-up charge that there really is as much as there is no such thing.
"Let's do it, consolidate this property and fill it in the treasury for this time, I hope that the trade in the territory will recover as soon as possible. ”
"Okay ~ His Highness Dean. ”
The official who originally wanted to make a good impression in front of His Royal Highness the Prince had to sit down with some loss, as the two major families in the Golden Spike Territory, the inheritance left by the Punk and Gredo families was very large, but 'Dean' still didn't seem interested or even had the intention of putting this wealth in his pocket, is this Royal Highness really not interested in this wealth at all? Well~ Whatever the reason is, but at least in this respect, it's much better than that insatiable idiot prince Silvado!
After the second prince Dean became the new lord of the Golden Spike Territory, the original domain officials and lords compared Dean and Silvador from time to time, and the conclusion of the comparison between the two was that Silvatoror was worthy of the title of idiot, and now there are more new titles such as cultists, traitors, and blasphemers, even if the Golden Spike Territory was once in the hands of Silvado and ushered in a flourishing scene in the later period, but people will also count these exploits in the name of the beautiful female demon Miss Sally instead of Silvador.
Although Prince Dean has not officially governed the territory since he came to the territory, and generally speaking, he is still dealing with the mess left by Silvador, but Dean, who already has a good reputation in the Wangdu of the Belrama Kingdom, is naturally considered to have a talent that surpasses Silvador, and Silvado is already notorious, and colluding with cultists to attract demons to attack the royal capital has made him even worse than the poop in the dung pit.
In fact, Dean himself knows very well that Silvado has indeed never done anything good in his life, but now it is ironic that the person who has been abused and the person who is now praised is actually the same person.
"Your Highness, if you are not feeling well, would you like to have the physician and the priest come and see you? Seeing that His Royal Highness the Prince looked tired, an official asked worriedly.
"No, go on, I'll listen. ”
How is it possible for a mortal physician in the former to treat a demon, while in the latter it is even more ridiculous, to let the followers of the goddess apply blessings and light to one?
Seeing this, the officials had to continue to do the same, although there were also doctors who came to examine the prince before, but at that time, all they came to the conclusion was that His Royal Highness the prince was too tired and his spirits were a little low. It's just that His Royal Highness is indeed very tired when he first arrives in the Golden Spike Territory, after all, the previous idiot prince Silvado has left too many messes that need to be dealt with by His Highness, but now that things in the territory have gradually been on the right track, His Highness has begun to show a tired look day by day, and that kind of look and attitude always feels that he is not interested in everything.
Could it be because the eldest prince Victor seized the throne?
In the Kingdom of Bellama because of a series of evil deeds committed by Silvador, during this period of time when the reputation of the royal family was seriously damaged, the old king who was rescued from the control of the devil has been forced to abdicate, and the call for His Royal Highness Dean to ascend the throne is the highest, and even the Holy See and the messenger of the goddess are very optimistic about Dean, but in the end, His Royal Highness the second prince chose to retreat after getting the guarantee of His Royal Highness the eldest prince because he did not want to further split the royal family, which was a bit unexpected and shocking.
And His Royal Highness Dean, who voluntarily gave up the throne, got the lord who was appointed as the lord of the Golden Harvest Territory, and got the guarantee that the eldest prince allowed the Golden Harvest Territory to have a high degree of autonomy.
Dean, who closed his eyes again, leaned back in his chair as if he had fallen into a deep sleep again, Dean! To be precise, the killing master of the void, Aleguso, knows his situation very well, and fatigue is inevitable, after all, while putting the main consciousness into the main material plane, he also has to control the body in the distorted void thousands of miles away, this kind of double-line manipulation at such a long distance and across the law of the interface is indeed an extremely painstaking thing, once the succubus queen Sarion deliberately let the body fall into a deep sleep to weaken the consumption when she projected the doppelganger to the main matter plane, but she must take into account the void and the main matter plane, and there is no way to do it like Sharine。
As for the property left by the Punk and Gredo families, for Areguso, these things are very valuable in the eyes of mortals, but in their own eyes they are worthless, mortals use money as a proof of obtaining materials, and use money to measure a person's social status, but in the world of the transcendental, money is just a derivative, and power is the most fundamental thing, just like in times of turmoil, bandits without money can take away everything from those rich people with the sword in their hands, and those who have wealth but no power are just a fat sheep to be slaughtered in the eyes of others, and those who have no money but have power can take everything from the other party - even life - with the power in their hands!
As the second prince of the kingdom of Bellama, Dean may need money to raise his army and support his cronies, but as the master of slaughter, Aleguso's army and cronies are built on strength, and the slaves who fear and fear their strength have been given something more valuable than wealth in the first place—that is, their lives!
Mortal kings need to check and balance their courtiers to avoid personal dominance, but this is not necessary for the demonic masters of the abyss, because their own strength is enough to crush everything, so that all subordinates cannot even breed the desire to resist.
This is called absolute! And this is the biggest standard in this world!
From the beginning, Alegusor had no interest in playing a game of intrigue with mortals, just as dragons would not be interested in the wealth in the anthill, and it was impossible for the dragon to put down his body to negotiate with the ants, anyway, for himself, mortals could just talk about their erased existence with a single look, since they could kick the anthill with one kick, and there would be that fool who would run to talk to the superficial ants slowly.
All I need is time, and I need a little time to complete the final transformation!
And when that time comes, no matter how great the power or how much wealth and beauty you have, you can seize it all with your own hands, and it will be effortless. When the time comes, not only the mortal world, but also the few fools in the abyss who are still kept in the dark will understand that everything they are fighting for now has no meaning.
Listening to the distribution of property within the territory, Aleguso couldn't help but sneer secretly, the ants' own game should be left to the ants to play by themselves, and the game they want to play must at least have an equal opponent to be interesting. It's just that now I have to continue to cover up with Dean's identity, and some things can be handed over to these ants to deal with, but when the ants are self-righteous and overdone, then they need to be beaten, otherwise showing too many concessions will also make outsiders suspicious of 'Dean'.
Of course, a group of ants don't need to talk to them slowly by surrendering themselves, what they like is to wipe them out violently, saving effort and more importantly, saving time.
"Deal with this bug today, don't go too far out of line, let him walk a little more normally. ”
"Yes!" ”
After the meeting, in the unoccupied dormitory, 'Dean' handed a list to the girl in the shadows, and the other party took the list and nodded silently, and then slowly fell away as if it merged with the darkness.
Aleguso, dressed as Dean, lay on the bed and rested for a while, and then a maid knocked on the door, Aleguso couldn't help frowning, he had ordered not to see anyone, but when the maid revealed that a visitor was coming, even the lord who maintained his status as a prince on the surface had to get up to meet the visitor.
