Chapter 5: Killing the Father
"My lord, since the contract has been signed, are you ......?"
After the contract was established, Monroe did not bother to check the vision in his body, and rushed to get the help he deserved from Mephistopheles. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The fire of greed burned in Monroe's heart, and he couldn't wait to get his father's title.
"How do you think I can help you?"
"A large amount of gold, as long as I have the start-up capital, I can vigorously develop my own power, loyal subordinates, with them, I can completely control my own power, the chaos of the territory, only when the territory is turbulent, I can have a chance to stand out, in order to gain great prestige and popular support. ”
"As long as the people of the realm support me, my brother, who is not yet five years old, is completely unqualified to compete with me for the position of heir. ”
"In this way, no matter how much my father hates me, he has to seriously consider the possibility of making me the next earl. Then ......"
"Then you snowball your strength until your father has to rely on you to maintain the sovereignty of the realm. At that time, even if he is unwilling, he will give the territory into your hands. ”
Before Monroe's rambling plan was finished, Mephistopheles spoke out his thoughts on the next steps. The calm tone made it difficult to hear what he thought of this series of plans.
"What do you think of this plan, my lord?"
Monroe asked confidently while patting his ass.
"Childish, stupid, garbage!"
Mephistopheles' tone was extremely disdainful, criticizing the other party's plan as worthless.
"This ......"
Monroe's eyes widened and his face flushed, as if he was not convinced by Mephistopheles' assessment.
In his opinion, this was the most perfect plan he could think of, even if it was flawed, and it didn't deserve such an evaluation. However, because he was afraid of the identity of the other party's demon, he did not directly show the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Who do you think you are? Lord Mephistopheles? Bedbug-like characters deserve so much thought for you?"
"Remember, you are my agent, a servant who wants to do things for me, not a master who can point fingers!"
"I ......"
Mephistopheles' scolding completely made Monroe fall into anger, and he endured it for a long time before he suppressed the urge to insult the other party.
Although it is bound by a contract, no one knows what kind of means the person in the statue has.
"You are very wise, if you dared to insult me just now, you are already a corpse by now!"
"My lord, the contract ......"
Meng Luo reminded in a stiff tone, obviously unable to hold back the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Fool, you haven't even read the contents of the contract, think carefully about the terms of the contract before you speak, and stop showing your anxious intelligence and self-righteous face. ”
Hearing Mephistopheles' words, Monroe immediately began to recall the contents of the contract.
He had memorized this short passage several times, and after a little thought, a series of clauses in the contract came to mind.
"The principal contractor agrees that he will not take the initiative to harm the contractor after getting out of trouble. ”
Monro remembered this clause, which he had used as a "blessing stone" (an item distributed by the temple to believers, similar to an amulet), and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Now how can he not know that he almost went to the underworld to travel for a while, and it is already the mercy of the other party to live until now.
Although there is a clause of "no harm after getting out of trouble", it does not have the slightest binding force on the other party's behavior before it gets out of trouble.
He thought that he could use the loophole of the contract to treat the other party as his thug, but now it seems that his carelessness and self-righteousness almost killed him.
"My lord, you can do what you say, I will listen to you. ”
Monroe's tone reverted to his original humility, as if the rebelliousness just now was entirely on the part of another person.
As for why the other party forgave him just now, Meng Luo also had his own guess in his heart. Presumably, the other party has been sealed for a long time, and finally met himself as a suitable agent, so he was more tolerant in his actions.
However, Monroe didn't dare to continue to tease the other party, and only by having the right attitude could he live longer. No matter how tolerant the demon is, he is also a demon, and believing in the goodness of the devil is as ridiculous as believing that the "god of hunting" does not eat meat.
"Quite simply, as long as the Broncks and your brother are dead, then you are the only heir, isn't it a matter of course to inherit the title?" Mephistopheles bewitched.
"You...... Are you trying to get me to kill my father?"
Monroe's words were filled with horror and disbelief, he had never considered inheriting the title in such a way.
"It's the quickest way to do it, isn't it? Don't forget, I'm still waiting for your blood sacrifice! If you follow your plan, when will I get out of this damn statue!"
"How long are you going to put it off, twenty years, or more? In that case, why should I choose you as the contractor, there are a lot of people who can help me!"
Mephistopheles' voice was impatient, apparently at the limit of patience.
"My lord, it's me who didn't think it through, but this method, it ......"
"How convenient this method is!Think about it, in a few days, or half a year, you will be able to become a Count, what a wonderful thing it must be!" Mephistopheles continued to bewitch the other party.
"Even if they're all dead, there are other ......"
"Although the old fellows who have separated from each other are also surnamed 'Moult', even if all of you die, they will not have the slightest inheritance. Why, you haven't read through the Inheritance Act?"
Inheritance between nobles is very interesting, roughly from father to son, and if there are no children, the legal wife inherits, if there is no legal wife, the brother of the noble, and if there is no brother, the brother's heir.
If none of this is possible, then the realm will be taken away by the temple of the nobleman's god and given to certain heroes who have made great contributions to humanity (against the demon invasion).
In this process, the uncles of the nobles and even the elders of higher rank have no inheritance rights.
In other words, when the Earl of Bronc was in power, Taylor had the right to inherit, and even if he started a rebellion, it was a dispute within the territory. But once the son of the Earl of Bronck inherited the title, then Taylor would have no chance of the title, and once he launched a rebellion, he would be strangled by the nobles of the entire frozen coast.
"But, but, then I can't kill my father, I ......"
"You're scared, I thought you would be familiar with this kind of thing. ”
In a slightly raised tone, Mephistopheles said pointedly.
"I ......"
Monroe was speechless, of course he knew what the other party was talking about, and before he could be surprised how the other party knew, the bloody memories squeezed into his mind......
