Located on the northern outskirts of Trier, Cheval Blanc is one of the top 10 wineries in Intis and the home of the Fryce family in Trier.

At this time, many people who worked and lived in the capital were summoned here.

As for the initiator, it is the current patriarch of the Fulies family, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Mr. John Fulles.

This Mr. Speaker is 48 years old this year, and although he is only a "conspirator" at the sixth level of the sequence, he has a high prestige in the family because of his superb skills and keen political sense.

Even the two family demigods, who were already the archbishops of the "Church of the Eternal Sun", respected him very much, and one of them turned down the scheduled itinerary and responded to his summons.

At this moment, Speaker John Fleiss saw that everyone was coming, and he didn't sell much, so he directly ordered his assistant to carry a corpse up.

It was a half-giant corpse nearly three meters tall, and he should have been extremely strong, but now he looked scrawny, as if his flesh had been devoured by something.

"It's ...... Boss? Isn't he Johansen's kid's bodyguard? How did it become like this? One of the clansmen looked at it for a moment, suddenly recognized the identity of the corpse, and said in surprise.

"Bethdu has become like this...... And what about Johansen? Is something wrong? The other clansmen also reacted and understood the patriarch's intention to summon everyone.

They all looked at the patriarch, trying to see something from his face, after all, Johansen was not only a candidate for a demigod cultivated by the family, but also the son of Patriarch John......

And the archbishop of the "Church of the Eternal Sun", Drew Fulles, after checking Perth's injuries, said affirmatively: "It was killed by the 'Black Knight'. ”

"Black Knight? Is it the hand that the aurora can move? ”

"Why are they doing this?"

"Maybe Boss inadvertently offended them?"

"Not necessarily, as far as I know, there are several families that have secretly cultivated 'shepherds'."

Just when everyone was in an uproar, John, who had always maintained his calm, spoke: "Boss's body was sent back by the Delion family. Their goal is clear, they are threatening us! ”

As soon as these words came out, the clansmen were immediately silenced, after all, the Delion family was huge, and it faintly surpassed Sauron and became the first family of Intis...... Moreover, the two families were an alliance before, and their interests have long been entangled together, so no one dares to rashly slander them......

It was a long time before an elderly gentleman of great rank knocked down his cane and asked, "What about Johansen's boy?" How is he? ”

As long as Johansen is okay, there is a chance of mitigation.

Speaker John shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I don't know...... According to the findings reported by the 'Mechanical Heart', Johansen was supposed to go with his friends last night to teach a lesson to a member of the Delion family who had a previous conflict with him.

He also set up a ritual beforehand to isolate the sound and the spirituality...... The confessions of his friends confirm this!

"But the strangest thing is that Johansen disappeared completely after that! His friends all said they lost consciousness as soon as they entered the house, not knowing what was happening.

"The trio were eventually woken up by the Delion family member they were attacking, and reported to the 'Machine Heart'.

"Afterwards, the 'Heart of the Machines' confirmed that none of them were lying, but ...... They all have traces of being possessed by the devil. ”

- The member of the Church faction of the Delion family lives in the jurisdiction of the "Steam Church", so it is the "Heart of the Machine" to deal with it.

As for why a new figure of the "Eternal Sun" lives in the gathering place of the Church of Steam...... That's because he has been preaching in the neighborhood, trying to "fool" the believers of the "God of Steam and Machines" to the side of the "Eternal Sun".

After listening to the patriarch's brief description of who had been invited, the old gentleman frowned and muttered to himself:

"I've heard a rumor that the Delion family has a secret connection to the Norse family, one of the three major demon families...... I don't know if it's true. ”

Speaker John and the old gentleman exchanged a covert look, then nodded and said, "It's true, I accidentally heard about this information from the patriarch of another demon family, Andrerad, and after investigation, it was confirmed to be correct. ”

When the clansmen heard this, they suddenly became noisy again, and they all said incredulously:

"What exactly does Derion want to do?"

"Did they kidnap Johansen to force us to stand firmly on his side?"

"This is too much, isn't our previous support enough?"

Just when everyone was indignant, the old gentleman once again tapped the ground with his cane, and asked solemnly:

"Can you confirm that the Delion family did it? Also, was Johansen kidnapped, or was he already killed? ”

The question went straight to the core, and the others looked intently at the patriarch, waiting for an answer.

"According to the Mechanical Heart, there are no signs of fighting1 at the scene, and there are no casualties except for the disappearance of Johansen...... Most likely, he is still alive...... Because I can't think of any benefit from someone else killing him...... However, when the members of the 'Mechanical Heart' tried to obtain Johansen's whereabouts through prophecy, divination, and other means, they failed. At this point, Speaker John turned his head to his uncle, who had not spoken, the demigod of the "Church of the Eternal Sun", and pleaded,

"I remember you sealed the power in an amulet...... And there was nothing special about that amulet, maybe it wasn't destroyed by Johansen's kidnappers...... Can you use that to determine his location? ”

The Sage of the "Church of the Eternal Sun" was named Gis, and after hearing the patriarch's request, he was silent for a moment before he bowed his head and said, "You can give it a try." ”

With that, he set up the ritual and began to use his abilities to investigate.

Tanigawa

Everyone didn't dare to blink at him, waiting for the result.

After about two minutes, the Sage Guise furrowed his eyebrows and said heavily, "I have not received a response to my search for Johansen's life and death, and his location...... But the talisman that contains my power is in the ancestral house of the Delion family!

"Johansen is probably locked up in a treasure room guarded by one of the Delien family...... The whole of Trier, except for parts of the church, was the only place that ever gave me that feeling. ”

After hearing this1, Speaker John muttered, "That old monster of the Delion family ...... '0' level seal...... No wonder the Heart of the Machine couldn't predict! ”

At this time, the clansmen also became angry, and they all said that they wanted to give the Delien family a little color, and put pressure on them to release Johansen back.

And the reason why they are so united is actually because they are more optimistic about this matter, after all, the prime minister is in a difficult situation now, and he can't do without the support of the Fules family, and he will definitely be obediently put back to Johansen when the time comes...... Maybe you can take the opportunity to get some benefits.

This is what Speaker John wanted to convene the family meeting, so he immediately issued an order to temporarily stop all cooperation with Delien!

"Until Johansen is handed back!"

……

At the same time, in the castle of the Delien family, Mr. Chancellor was also caught off guard by this sudden incident, and muttered to himself in confusion:

"Who is framing us and sowing discord between us and the many allied families?"

He pondered for a moment, then asked a "shadow" in the corner, "Are you sure that after killing 'Guardian' Beth, Thero left there last night, and there was no superfluous move?" ”

"No, after he killed the half-giant, he went to dispose of the corpse of the other man, and never came near the Florand Avenue again." The shadow replied in the affirmative.

"So......" the Prime Minister frowned and continued to ask, "He didn't notice an anomaly in the vicinity after he killed someone?" ”

"Johansen's ceremonies were so elaborate that I didn't even notice anything...... What's more, it's him! Shadow was clearly confident in his abilities.

"I don't know where Johansen learned that level of ritual......" the prime minister sighed.

Shadow was silent for a few seconds, as if "listening" to something, before answering, "According to his three companions, it was a 'professor' who taught him. ”

"'Professor'? Who is that? "The Prime Minister has obviously not heard of the name.

- Byam is quite far away from Intis, and the Church of the Storm and the Rune military have not publicly offered bounties, so the story of Mr. "The Professor" has not yet reached Intis.

The shadow was silent again, as if not knowing what to answer.

Mr. Prime Minister did not have the luxury of getting an answer, he thought for a while, and had doubts in his heart:

"In Trier, this can be done, and there is a reason to frame us...... Only the Church and the House of Sauron!

But it is unlikely that the church will use such means......

"So...... Is it Sauron?

"Is this the dissatisfaction expressed by the former Angel Family with our Delion Ascension First Family?"

……

Outside the Sauron family's estate, Elaine holds "Russell? Gustav's film tape and the sorted out public opinion plan made a request to Mr. Butler to meet with the patriarch.

Because of the growing influence of Abner and the studio, her request was granted.

An hour later, Elaine walked out of the gates of the manor, full of excitement, and then got into a carriage and hurried to the council, intending to consult with Fanny about how to cooperate with her.

But when she arrived at the council, she was told that Miss Fanny had taken a leave of absence to-day.

……

Rand Harbour, a small military port on the southern coast of Intis.

Abner, who had arrived here after avenging Fanny, boarded a large steam warship completely controlled by the Delion family and sailed to Ithaca.

On board, Abner played with a telescope while flipping through the sea monster information provided to him by Prime Minister Intis.

This telescope is the magical item that the Prime Minister mentioned earlier to observe the state of the sea monster.

"I see...... This thing was made with the 'Voyeur' of some hapless 'astrologer', right?

"No wonder you can observe the state of the sea monster......"

After a few words of emotion, Abner recalled the "feedback" he had just received, and said in his heart:

It seems that the "barrier" ritual I taught really served as a misdirection and disguise, and the praise was in line with Johansen and the other three to learn it in the first place......

Of course, this is only the original intention.
