Chapter Ninety-Nine
Storm County, the Duchy of Thunder, has recently had a rather surprising thing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Baron Keane, who was seriously ill and almost dying, suddenly regained his health, and then carried out a large-scale review and adjustment of his subordinates. A large number of subordinates who originally occupied key positions were transferred to idle positions that lacked real power, and many people were found to have committed various crimes and were punished.
One of the most surprising was his chef, the chef who was famous throughout Stormwind County, who was found to have poisoned Baron Keane's food!
Such a crime is, of course, unforgivable, and according to the law, even the family is harmed. But Baron Keane said that Chef has worked for the Keane family all these years, and there is no credit and hard work, even if he makes a mistake, it is enough to atone for the crime with his life, and his family has nothing to do with this matter, and specially pardoned his family.
Compared to how Baron Keane could suddenly recover, how could he have the ability to find out the traitor in the family, and why he was so merciful, it was the most puzzling thing for everyone.
"Crick Keane is a scholar after all. In the secret room of the Church of the God of Nobles, the High Priest of Storm County sneered and said, "If you are soft-hearted, you can't make a big deal!"
After all, he is a believer in the Song of the Distance, and the doctrine of the Song of the Distance is weak, and the church organization is also weak. In the final analysis, it is because they lack the spirit of decisiveness!" The words of the priest who was in charge of dealing with some shady affairs were full of disdain and mockery, "Both gods and men eat grass. Even if you are forced to the end of the mountain, it is nothing more than kicking your legs or using your horns. How can such a product have the courage to kill!"
The High Priest nodded slightly, and set up a new assignment.
Just a baron. It's not worth his effort. Since this kid is so in the limelight now, let's wait for the time being. Wait for him to finish the limelight before cleaning him up.
Anyway...... No matter how many tricks he can play, it can't change the fact that he is just a baron. Just a baron. How much human and financial resources can there be, and how much influence can it have in the upper classes?
Behind the Church of the God of Nobles, there is a large group of nobles!
Crick - or Sui Xiong - didn't know any of this, and his "system" was not so powerful that if someone calculated him, a prompt would pop up with a message like "Mission: Fight the Assassination". All his energy now is focused on internal purge.
When he checked his subordinates against loyalty, he only felt shocked, and all kinds of questions made the James knight who was loyal to him furious, if he hadn't stopped him. On the spot, he will draw his sword to the point of slashing people.
Crick himself was taken aback, although he was already somewhat mentally prepared, but he never expected that the problem would be so serious! In fact, much of the power of the Barony of Keane had been hollowed out, and the middle and lower officials who were loyal to him were either pushed into useless positions or directly murdered -- five or six murders alone could be identified!
"These guys are crazy! Don't take human life seriously!" he angrily slammed the case files on the table in anger, snorting and panting. Picked up the barley tea prepared by his side, and poured half a cup of cold water with a slurp. But he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
He didn't drink barley tea until he "woke up", and he really couldn't get used to the kind of tea that nobles used to drink—grinding tea leaves and spices together and boiling them, and finally sprinkling some spice powder into the filtered tea soup, which was really beyond the acceptable range of a Chinese tongue. So he'd rather drink the fried barley tea that has come out of the Northwest Void Kamen Playground in recent years. At least this thing tastes clean.
Because he discovered that the "Traveler Sui Xiong MK5" had suspected all kinds of things about the Void Mask Playground before, Sui Xiong specially modified the memory of Crick Keane or "Sui Xiong MV6 the Traveler", making him ignore all kinds of earth-style things he brought. Avoid accidents. But he did not modify Crick's aesthetics, so Crick's eating habits and life style. Subtle changes are taking place.
In general, gradually some were less sociable among the aristocracy. Closer to the middle and lower classes.
There's no way, who called Sui Xiong himself was originally a little person!
So he really couldn't understand the thinking of the upper class - those nobles who had a good relationship with "Crick Keane" before, after learning about the current situation of the Keane family, gave advice that was simply inexplicable!
A friend's suggestion was: "Sell your property, live directly in the Void Mask Playground, and settle down there for the rest of your life." If you have money in your hands, and you still know how to do art, you can go there and make some opera or something, and the temple of your church is also over there, so you can take care of it somewhat. ”
The suggestion was too cowardly, and Crick didn't like it. But in any case, it is still a slightly more reliable suggestion, and at least it can be implemented.
In contrast, the advice of a few other friends made him wonder if these guys were brains or tofu scum in their heads!
One thing of those people can be summed up in one word, kill.
Killing all the unfaithful and hanging them all and hanging their bodies on the roadside will deter those with bad intentions - they all say so.
Feed...... That's a few hundred people! Killing so many people in one go, won't he become a great demon king?
And...... If he wants to kill so many people, where will he find the executioner?
But those nobles don't see it that way, they all say that the nobility is sacrosanct, and any behavior that dares to hurt the nobility should be severely punished, and there must be no toleration!
Crick smiled and said that he would consider their suggestions carefully when he returned, and when he got home, he told Leyton Butler to be wary of those guys in the future.
"Isn't there some truth in the opinions of those Excellencies?" asked Butler Leiden, puzzled.
"But no brains. Crick sighed, "You know, pig teammates are more terrible than god opponents! If the force that can infiltrate our Keane family like a sieve without a word is a god-like opponent, then these are pig-like teammates, Layton, idiots are also contagious!"
Butler Leiden nodded again and again, as if he understood or not.
At dinner the next day, he asked curiously, "Your Excellency, is idiocy really contagious?"
Crick pondered for a long time, trying to find an explanation, but when he saw Layton's character attributes, he sighed deeply and gave up on this plan.
[Leiden, Strength 10, Constitution 12, Agility 10, Perception 12, Intelligence 9, Charisma 10, Prestige 120, Profession: Butler Level 5, Priest Level 1, Loyalty 100]
No need to be contagious, this Mr. housekeeper would have been a bit stupid!
"That's just a joke. He brushed aside the idea that idiots are contagious, and looked at James, the head of the knights, who insisted on standing beside him, refusing to eat with the lord.
[James, strength fourteen, constitution fourteen, agility twelve, perception ten, intelligence nine, charisma ten, prestige two hundred.] Class: Warrior Level 3, Knight Level 4, Lord Level 1, Loyalty 100]
He has two generals, all of whom are a little stupid......
"Alas!," he said, sighing deeply, "let's talk about the Spencer Society's suggestion." ”
Spencer Smith, deputy head of the Knights of the Knights of the Principality of Thunder, presides over the work of Stormwind. The young Knight is a shining up-and-comer, having even reached the semi-finals of the world's No. 1 tournament at the Void Mask Playground and won both of them in the round of 16. It was only in the upper bracket that he met Levi "The Bow" Spring, and in the lower bracket he met "Thunder Tomahawk" Sujel Magnus, that he stopped at the quarterfinals and was unable to go further.
Compared with his own subordinates, Crick felt that the young master's advice must be more reliable.
Not to mention anything else, people's intelligence is higher than their own subordinates!
[Spencer, Smith, Strength Twenty, Constitution Eighteen, Agility Sixteen, Perception Fourteen, Intelligence Fourteen, Charisma Eighteen, Reputation Six Hundred and Fifty. Class: Warrior Level 3, Knight Level 8, Paladin Level 8, Friendship Level 8]
Look at the gorgeous attributes! Look at the blinding prestige! Look at the coveted total rank!
What does it mean to be a winner in life?
Crick believes that if there is a real fight, it is estimated that one person will be able to wipe out the entire knighthood of his barony, and maybe he can knock a melon seed or something by the way.
So he felt that Spencer's suggestion could still be kept as a backup.
It's really not good, so let's run away with the whole family......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply again.
The current situation is really too grim!
probably because he didn't have the ability to turn the tables, or just because he was simply fearless, the guys who calculated him didn't hide the news very carefully. After a little investigation, he found out the mastermind hiding behind the group of traitors.
Church of the God of Nobility.
This answer did not surprise him, but it did frustrate him a little.
The opponent is too strong, and he wants revenge - it's too hard!
The Church of the God of Nobles has grown faster and faster over the years, and its power has become more and more powerful. They have the support of the big nobles represented by the king, for the nobles of the level of the viscount baron, although they are mainly wooed, but if they can't be wooed, they will try to get rid of them, in recent years, there have been many nobles in the Thunder Duchy who resolutely do not cooperate with them have died violently.
The previous Crick Keane was a staunch believer in the God of Literature and Art, and the Church of the God of Literature and Art was an important target for the Church of the God of Nobles to squeeze out and attack, so this young baron was naturally on the list of blows and lost his life in vain.
After eating, Crick took the case file again and sat in the study in contemplation.
After thinking for a long time, he sighed deeply: "Crick Keane, I want to help you avenge you, and if you want to solve the dilemma faced by the Keane family, it's ...... difficult" (to be continued.) )
