Chapter 140: Intensifying Contradictions
Lady Vivien didn't interrogate anything, the Bauhinia family was just a small branch of the Holy Thorn family, and Pidlow himself was only a first-class transcendent, with the title of baron, and he couldn't touch the core secrets of the Holy Thorn family at all, and he had no way of knowing the content of the prophecy
Everyone couldn't help but be disappointed, until this moment, this is no longer a simple aristocratic suicide case, but a major event involving changes in the entire world pattern
The teachers at Yukyo University abandoned the mentality of helping and began to face the matter with the mentality of the person concerned.
"Now it seems that the thirteen nobles who proposed the closure of the city were all called by the Marquis of Basatia. The Marquis of Basatia, on the other hand, had little to do with Yolton's death, he just wanted to use it to achieve his goal of promoting the war, although we don't know what he was going to do for the time being," Director Darcy analyzed.
"So what do we do next?" Teacher Liu Jun, who had been returning for a long time, asked.
"Does that need to be said?" Lady Vivien gritted her teeth and said, "Keeping an eye on Basatia must not allow him to advance the purpose of the war. ”
Teacher An Wen nodded, "Makes sense." ”
"Hehe" Zhang Jichuan smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong with Lady Vivien doing this, I think that the Marquis of Bassatia should know some inside information, otherwise how can he be sure that the death of Baron Jolton can help him achieve the goal of promoting the war?" But
"We can't just find out about the Marquis of Basatia's wolf ambitions, and we can't be caught up in all his attention and ignore the original goal, and the cause of Baron Jolton's death will continue to be investigated!
"Well, then, I propose that Lady Vivien be in charge of keeping an eye on the Marquis of Bassatia, and try to get some clues from him;
"Director, you take Teacher Rogini and Teacher Qiu Hong to explore the Sacred Thorn Family and see if you can find the content of the prophecy;
"Lady Norris, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the men and horses in charge of the search in the city, and see if there are any other people besides the thirteen nobles on the surface, who are also looking for the body of Baron Jolton;
"Teacher Xinyi and Teacher Rongrong, follow me to explore Melke Manor, if no one else is looking for Baron Jolton's body, then, that Lady Barty is very suspicious."
Director Darcy bowed his head, "Yes." ”
"Let's go, then." Lady Vivien is in a hot way.
Basatia was over eighty years old, but from the outside, he was about forty at most.
Born in the military, he did not give up the habits he developed in the army because he became a nobleman, nor did he give up the most ordinary physical training because he became a three-grade extraordinary.
On a dark and windy night this month, Basatia trained in the martial arts hall for three hours,—— during the day he was busy with military affairs, so he really didn't have time to train.
After his physical training, he did another three hours of meditation.
It wasn't until the dawn of the eastern sky that he woke up from meditation, and his whole person became energetic, without the slightest fatigue of not sleeping all night.
Taking a sip of the coffee prepared by the maid and holding the letter from the butler, Basatia went to the study alone and touched the wall behind the bookshelf with the power of her soul. Suddenly, many tadpole-like symbols appeared on the wall, flashing and mysterious.
The power of the soul was verified, and the wall split in two, revealing a pitch-black corridor, and at the end of the corridor, there was a secret room.
A hint of pride flashed in Bassatia's eyes, this secret room could not be opened except for the power of his soul as the key. Even if a high-grade transcendent creature wanted to break through, he could get the sense as soon as possible and transfer the entire secret room
It was a very safe room, and Basatia thought so until he walked into the room and saw a short, bespectacled lady.
Bassatia's heart suddenly swooped, her pupils contracted sharply, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "How did you get in?" ”
"Don't get excited, Your Excellency Marquis." The lady did not anger the consciousness of a marquis at all, kept smiling, and bowed slightly, "Tomman salutes you. ”
"I ask you, how did you get in?!" Basatia's eyes looked like he could kill.
"Is the Marquis talking about this secret room?" Tang Man calmly met the eyes of Basatia who was almost about to eat people, pointed to the drawings on the walls around him, and said with a smile, "There is no absolutely safe secret room in the world, and there is no His Excellency the Marquis in the transcendent world. ”
If it had been before, Basatia would have scoffed when he heard this, but now
He had no choice but to remain silent.
The air fell silent, and after more than ten seconds, Basatia spoke, "Thank you for the reminder, Ben Hou knows that Ben Hou asked you, what is your intention in letting Ben Hou interfere in Yolton's death?" What does this have to do with Ben Hou's plans? ”
"It turns out that His Excellency the Marquis doesn't know Tomman's intentions, but he is still willing to follow Tomman's instructions" Tomman's face showed surprise and 'touch', as if he was about to cry, "His Excellency the Marquis's trust in others is really touching."
Bassatia watched her perform expressionlessly, found the main seat and sat down, until she finished speaking, and then said coldly, "Have you played enough?" ”
"Enough!" Tang Man put away his emotion for a second, as if he had changed as a person, "Thank you, Your Excellency the Marquis, for your tolerance." ”
"Now, can you tell Ben Hou?"
"Of course." Tomman became extremely serious and said meticulously, "Your Excellency Marquis, if you want to start a war, there are only three ways. First, there are enough interests to drive it. As long as the interests are sufficient, anyone has to tear off that layer of moral camouflage and become a war maniac
"But obviously, now the situation between countries is relatively stable, and trade is becoming more and more prosperous, especially your Caesar Dynasty, which has always been a profiteer in foreign trade, if you start a war at this time, not only will there be no considerable gains, but I am afraid that you will also smash the jobs of many people, this road is obviously not feasible
"Second, external contradictions. When the contradictions between the two countries and forces reach an irreparable point, it is inevitable to start a war. But it is clear that the Caesar dynasty did not have borders with most countries, and there were no direct contradictions. The only bordering Nicholas Dynasty, the people are busy planning the Guyue Kingdom, and the diplomacy with the Caesar Dynasty is also trying to be as stable as possible. This path is still not going to work
"There is only a third way left, and that is internal contradictions!"
Basatia frowned, "Internal contradictions? ”
"That's right, internal contradictions." Tang Man looked at Basatia with a look of affirmation and burning eyes, "Your Excellency Marquis, when a country's internal contradictions reach a point where it has to be released, it is an inevitable choice to launch a war with the outside world in order to divert the contradictions
"The Caesar Dynasty has been peaceful for more than ten years under the rule of His Majesty the wise and martial Brave, but Your Excellency the Marquis, you must know that this does not mean that there are no contradictions within the Caesar Dynasty, but these contradictions have been hidden and suppressed
And the death of Baron Jolton was a catalyst that provoked and intensified these contradictions
"Your Excellency the Marquis, if you want to upgrade 'Clausewitz's "On War", if you want to become a fourth-grade transcendent, if you want to take the knighthood to the next level, take advantage of this opportunity."
Bassatia listened expressionlessly, and suddenly asked, "Where are you hiding Yolton's body?" ”
"Huh!" Tomman shook his head, a hint of confusion on his face, "Your Excellency the Marquis, this is my fault, although I did plan to steal Yolton's body, but apparently, someone was ahead of me. ”
Bassatia frowned, "Not you?" Who would that be? ”
He raised the letter in his hand, "Last night, someone sneaked into the house of my allies, and these are not your people?" ”
Tomman shook his head, and Basatia's expression suddenly became extremely solemn
