-147- A real old fox
Eastern Town, Duke's Palace.
The gray-haired Duke of Boulder was half-lying on a chaise longue, his eyes closed slightly.
Behind him, a professionally trained maid carefully massaged his shoulders in a technique said to have been passed down from the elves.
The surging light smoke slowly drifted from the incense on the table, and the smoke filled the air.
It is a calming magic incense from Luna Island, which can help people relax and have a certain refreshing effect.
The cough came from time to time, and the old duke's body shook violently, and the violent coughing sound that seemed to cough out the heart and lungs made people uncomfortable to listen to.
However, the old duke has long been used to it.
He knew that his body was getting worse day by day.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, although he has struggled and worked hard, but he has long seen it today.
He was satisfied to be able to pass on the family in peace and stability.
"What did Leno do?"
After coughing a few times, Duke Boulder asked slowly.
Waiters, look at me, I'll look at you, and at last someone stood up and replied apprehensively:
"Back to Lord Duke, the evaluation team of the Holy Royal Court is here today, and Lord Nuo has gone to the cathedral to watch the ceremony."
"Watching the ceremony? Hehe, that kid isn't such a guy who cares so much about the Divine Court, he's going to find the female knight of the demon hunting house, right? ”
The old duke snorted lightly and sneered.
Everyone lowered their heads, nervously and nervously doing their own thing, and no one answered.
The Duke was bored and said no more.
He knew that his son had a female knight he liked.
He even investigated it himself, and he was indeed a good seedling, and he became a knight of the second order of the silver moon at a young age.
But it's a pity that the other party is from a commoner and is not a nobleman.
Leno's background was already flawed, and the Duke of Boulder would never allow the future Duchess of Boulder to have a lower background.
What about being talented?
Talent only represents the future, and the future is always uncertain.
Since the other party is not a nobleman, it is not within his consideration.
Leno's background is flawed enough, even if he makes all kinds of preparations, it may not really make him recognized by other nobles, especially those fellow lords in the kingdom.
If it cannot be recognized, the duke's position will not be stable.
It is impossible for the Duke of Boulder to make a rude mercenary knight the wife of the new duke.
But it's not enough for him to think about it on his own.
Lao Tzu knew what his son was, and he knew that that little bastard from Leno would definitely not give up.
Thinking of this, the Duke of Boulder pondered for a moment and said:
"Go and send someone to contact the Grand Priest, and wait for the evaluation to be over...... Transfer her away. ”
It is impossible for the Duke of Boulder to personally attack a demon hunter who is affiliated with the Church, especially if the other party is a knight of the Silver Moon.
However, he can't, and someone can.
As long as the other party is transferred away from Boulder and out of Leno's sight, with his many years of connections, the old duke is sure that he will solve the other party secretly without dirtying his hands.
He is very skilled and experienced in this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, the old duke narrowed his eyes slightly.
Boulder felt that he was being put together by the Castells and the Church, and that his own stupid brother thought he was unaware of his covert actions......
But who knows, he already knew all the actions of his stupid brother?
As the ruler of Boulder, there is nothing to hide from him.
From the moment he knew that he had an illegitimate child wandering away, the Duke of Boulder had already begun to pave the way for the future.
However, just as the Duke of Boulder was thinking about how to solve the little trouble of the female knight Kara, suddenly a knight of the guard hurried back from outside:
"Lord Duke! Something happened! There's an accident over there at the cathedral! ”
Looking at the panting knight, the old duke frowned:
"What's going on?"
"The High Priest has been arrested by the Church Inspectorate from the diocese!"
The Knight of the Guard replied.
"Ahem...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......! ”
Hearing this, Duke Boulder couldn't help but cough violently again.
He sat up from the recliner, his eyes widened, and asked in surprise:
"What do you say? The Grand Priest was arrested? ”
"Yes! It is said that he received a real-name report, saying that the Great Priest is the umbrella of the Drunken Dream Salon, and he is also colluding with the Blood Demon Sect! ”
Real-name reporting?
Does anyone else know the secrets of the Grand Priest?
Duke Boulder looked stunned.
He quickly got up from the recliner, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
He has recently been dealing with the nobility of the principality with the help of the drunken dream salon.
If the secret that the High Priest is an umbrella is dug up, will this fire burn on his head who has made some kind of deal with the High Priest?
However, after careful consideration, the old duke quickly calmed down again.
If this fire had been on his head, it would have been not the knights of the Duke's palace who had come to report the news, but the knights of the Judgment from the Appraisal Corps.
He sat down again, closed his eyes and thought about it, making sure that he didn't have any involvement in the more than a decade-long turmoil of the Blood Demon Order.
It doesn't hurt if his deal with the High Priest is exposed, and it can be inferred that the scandal of the Boulder family has been avoided.
The role of Count Tulip is reflected at this time.
As for himself...... Ten years ago, he had indeed taken a more drastic and risky move, indirectly making a deal with the Blood Demon Order.
But at that time he was still in the background, and the people who knew it were dead at the time.
Duke Boulder thought that those secrets had been completely buried in history over time, and only existed in his memory.
Thinking of this, Duke Boulder regained his composure.
Arrested by the Holy Court, the Grand Priest is probably finished.
Life is impermanent, even he didn't expect the other party to be so caught off guard.
"Even I just have some guesses about some things about the Great Priest, who reported it?"
The old duke couldn't help but think about it again.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a force in Boulder City that he didn't know was manipulating everything.
For a moment, he thought of the terrifying existence that had defeated the Flame Demon that night, and of the mysterious evil god.
But he quickly shook his head again.
That evil god was so powerful, no one in Boulder could stop her from doing anything, so why bother.
And at this moment, the noise came from outside, and Leno pushed away the knight who was guarding the door, and broke into the study with great vigour.
Seeing Lenuo, the old duke frowned, and reprimanded dissatisfiedly:
"What are you doing in a hurry? You don't have the decency of the nobility at all, do you have returned all the etiquette that was taught to you?! ”
However, Leno just looked at him coldly and threw a piece of parchment in front of him:
"Decent? If the decency of the nobility is to be in the company of evil, then I would rather not have such decency. ”
The old duke's expression was slightly gloomy.
He picked up the parchment and glanced at it casually, but his gaze froze.
