-52- Changed lifetrack
"Claim the identity of the powerful bloodline you mentioned? Lord Yorok, I would like to remind you once again that the strength of the Bloodline that can make you feel threatened is probably not inferior to that of the Legendary, and such an existence will be taken very seriously by even the gods."
"If that powerful bloodline really has the power of the gods behind it, if the Castel Leader really enters the sight of the gods...... Then, it is likely that the powerful bloodline is a dependant of the gods, and our conquest will be as fruitless as it was just now."
"After all...... The current star view is no longer blessed by the power of Cauchy's crown."
"Not only that, but if Guanzhan receives the attention of the gods behind the scenes, he may even set his eyes on us."
"Lord Yorok, the most hated thing for gods is to be snooped on by mortals, and you don't want to rush into the sight of a strange god, right?"
Adast, the artifact spirit of the Star Crystal, had a serious voice.
Hearing its words, the Duke of Yoroc gradually calmed down and fell silent.
After a moment, he sighed softly and said:
"You're right, I was impulsive, but I can't calm down at the thought that a plan I've been planning for years is suddenly in crisis......
Adast was right.
When it comes to the gods, we must be cautious.
Otherwise, you are likely to put yourself in great danger.
Maybe...... I should suspend the Return, or at least the infiltration of Castel, until we investigate further.
Duke Yoroc thought.
"Lord Yoroc, it's not your fault, Adast knows the importance you attach to the Star Return Project, after all, it involves the future of the Ness Clan, the orders of the Council of Elders to you, and the safety of Lord Eugenia...... Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"Wait...... The results of the observation have changed!"
"The results of the observation have changed?!"
Duke Yoroc was slightly stunned.
The results of astrology usually last for a period of time, but it is rare to hear of a sudden change in the results of a horoscope.
Unless, it is something that the observer has done that affects the content of the observation.
Duke Yorok looked solemn and hurriedly asked:
"What has changed?"
"What has changed is the main planet's lifetrack and the path of the subordinate star...... Well, the fate of you and the Ness Clan, although still obscure, is not shrouded in darkness as it was just now, and not only that...... The main star and the natal star seem to stand between darkness and light, with the abyss of extinction on one side and the boundless sea of stars full of hope on the other!"
Adast's voice was full of surprise:
"Lord Yorok, what did you just do? Not to mention the main star and the slave star, even the future of the star return plan seems to have changed! Although there is still little hope, a ray of starlight has appeared in the starry sky!"
What did I just do?
Duke Yoroc frowned.
As if thinking of something, his heart suddenly jumped:
Wait a minute...... Could it be that I was just going to temporarily suspend the idea of infiltrating Castelle?
Thinking of this, Duke Yoroc suddenly felt as if he had caught something, and a bright light seemed to flash in his mind.
"Adast, quick! Help me see what the Ness Clan will be able to achieve its plan to return to the stars and survive the crisis of the Holy Arrival!"
Duke Yoroc ordered in a hurried voice as he took out all kinds of magic materials to arrange the star array.
"Obey your orders......
The starlight spreads again, and the dome of the ashram casts an infinite sea of stars.
Soon, Adast's astonished voice came:
"Huh?"
"How?"
Duke Yoroc hurriedly asked.
"Strange! It's weird! Obviously, it was vaguely revealed when observing the Astrology Returning Star Plan, but this time the opportunity to break the situation of the Eyes Clan turned out to be a blank as just now......
Duke Yorok's eyes flashed slightly:
"Blank? Are you sure that the result of the observation is a blank?"
"Yes, Lord Yoroc, I'm afraid we've touched some kind of power again...... Something seems to be blocking my observation, perhaps......
"Perhaps...... It's the power of the gods!"
Duke Yoroc's eyes moved slightly, and he said the second half of Adast's unfinished sentence.
His eyes lit up, and his spirits lifted significantly.
"Adaste, thank you, if you can get through the crisis this time, when you wake up Cauchy's crown, I will definitely ask for credit for you!"
"Huh? Lord Joroc, do you have anything in mind? I look at your expression, and you seem to suddenly have confidence...... Do you already know what the opportunity for the clan to break the game is?"
Adast asked curiously.
Duke Yoroc shook his head:
"I don't know."
But as he spoke, he changed his words again:
"But...... I already know where the opportunity is, or rather...... Who does it have to do with it?"
"What do you mean...... Castell?"
Adast asked.
"That's right."
Duke Yoroc nodded slightly, his eyes flickering.
Adast's observation results were blank twice in a row, most likely blocked by the same force.
His first failed view was to see Castre's future, and his second defeat was a game-breaking opportunity for the Ness clan.
It is certainly confusing if these two observations were carried out separately, but when you look at them together, the answer is obvious......
I'm afraid the key to the Ness Clan's breakthrough is not elsewhere, it's in Castel!
Thinking of the first time the results of the occupation changed, Duke Yorok's eyes flashed slightly.
Maybe...... He misjudged something from the start!
"Adast, I heard that you have gone through the whole process of the thousand-year holy war?"
"Yes, it was a very dark war, and Adast watched as the Descendants of the Blood, at their peak, fell apart and retreated one after another under the iron heel of the Holy Court...... The fallen dukes and earls are even more unknown, and even the princes have changed because of this, and I have to say that it is a blessing for an existence like you who happens to fall into a deep sleep......
"Don't talk nonsense, just answer my questions!"
"Hmm...... Yes, I've been through it."
"Did the God of Contracts also become a god during that time?"
"Yes."
"What is His relationship with our blood seed?"
"Of course, it is a state of hostility, as a loyal supporter of the god lord, the god of contract has participated in the millennial holy war throughout the whole process, and we are bloodline can be described as incompatible. In fact, even the signing of the Treaty of Weddell and the Treaty of Coria was extremely opposed by the believers of the Covenant within the Holy Court, after all...... The bloodline of the blood descendants has taken away some of the contractual authority."
Duke Yorok's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded slightly:
"I see."
"Lord Yoroc, do you still need to take one last look? Although it has failed twice in a row, it is just an unfortunate accident, Adastre's observation level is definitely not so bad, give Adasta another chance, Adasta will definitely ......."
"No, that's enough, I'll summon you again when I need to."
Duke Yoroc waved his hand and removed the arrangement around the crystal seat.
"Well, well, thank you for using, the wise Adast is always ready to help you with the Observation ...... again."
In Adastre's babbling words, Duke Yoroc quickly put away the crystal ball.
This spirit of the holy weapon is good at everything, but as soon as the conversation is opened, it can't stop, and it makes people's brains buzz.
Putting away the crystal ball, the Duke of Yoroc was lost in thought as he paced in the ashram.
The conversation with Adast reminds him of some details that he had previously overlooked, the most obvious of which is the relationship between the God of Contracts and the Blood Descendants.
Since the God of Contract and the Blood Descendants are at odds with each other because of the issue of authority, how could the God of the Contract accept a Blood Descendant as a dependent?
Not to mention, it's probably a legend.
And even if he really accepted him as a dependent, the attitude of the powerful blood clan he saw didn't seem to be like a contract believer who was extremely disgusted with blood descendants!
Not only that, but thinking back carefully about his brief communication with that powerful blood clan, the other party never seemed to show faith in the God of Contract, and even his own inquiries about the will of the Divine Royal Court, the other party remained silent.
Now that I think about it, maybe I was wrong from the beginning, or maybe the other party was not a believer in the God of Contract at all!
"It is not accurate to discern a position by the mark of faith alone...... It is rumored that there have been legendary mages in human civilization who created blasphemy and stole the power of the gods, but what I see may not necessarily be true."
"That powerful bloodline may just be acting as a believer in the God of Contract!"
Thinking of this, Duke Yoroc's heart suddenly brightened.
And then he thought of something more:
"The view of the stars is obscured, and it is likely that there is a real power of a god behind her, but this god ...... I'm afraid it's not the god of contracts."
"Not the God of Contract, but to act as the God of Contract, it seems that the relationship between the other party and the Divine Court is also very delicate!"
"Could it be...... A resurrected ancient god?"
"In this case, the new earl of Castel is probably a follower of this mysterious deity!"
"I want to ...... I already know what the opportunity is to break the game."
Thinking of this, Duke Yoroc stopped.
He quickly made his way to the magic table and pulled out another, slightly smaller crystal ball from the storage space.
I saw him place the crystal ball on the crystal seat again, and then silently recited the incantation, and gradually, the crimson light bloomed on the crystal ball, and a vague projection appeared from the crystal ball.
"Lord Yoroc, what do you command?"
The blurry projection asked respectfully.
"Jurst, what has Lachlan been on these two days?"
Duke Yoroc asked.
The blurry projection hurriedly replied:
"Lord Yoroc, I'm about to report to you on this, Lachlan is making the final infiltration of Castel, and if it goes well, we'll be able to take full control of Castel tomorrow!"
Duke Yoroc was stunned:
"Take complete control of Castelle? To put it this way...... Did he make a move on the new earl of Castel?"
"Yes, tonight's Earldom of Castell's Earldom dinner is perfect for the final infiltration plan, calculate the time...... Lachlan's men should have already started the operation."
Duke of Joroc: ......
The blood legend's face turned green all of a sudden:
"Jurst! Tell me quickly! Suspend all penetration of Castel! Cease all hostilities against Castel!"
The vague figure was stunned for a moment:
"Suspend the infiltration of Castelle? Master Yoroc, we're about to take control of Castel, so why stop all of a sudden?"
Duke Yoroc sighed:
"Jurst, let's have more snacks on the Falling Star Project, don't always sink those bottles and cans, if this continues, I'm really worried that one day the enemy will come to the door, and you still don't know anything."
"Hmm...... Lord Yorok, is it our actions that have alerted the Divine Court? I will then contact His Excellency Lachlan and inform him of the suspension of operations."
"No need to contact him, he's dead."
"Dead ...... Dead?!"
The blurred figure in the crystal ball was frightened
One jump.
"Yes, dead."
Duke Yorok sighed softly, his gaze dim.
"Lord Yoroc, do you want to report this matter to the Council of Elders immediately? The fall of an earl is no small problem, not to mention that the Earl of Lachlan is still a Presbyterian......
The blurry projection asked.
Duke Yorok's eyes flashed slightly, and he shook his head slightly:
"No need, I'll explain it to the Elders."
"Good...... Okay, but Lord Lachlan has always been in charge of the Earl of Castel, and I don't know how many bloodlines he has developed, and it may take some time to take over, and there may be chaos for a while......
Duke of Joroc: ......
"Whatever the method, ...... I don't want to see our people secretly attacking the nobles of Castel, especially the Count of Castel, in recent times! Not a single one!"
He commanded sharply.
"Good...... Okay, then I'll contact the Earl of Nottingham as soon as possible, he is currently in charge of the Duchy of Roman, the closest to Castel, and the most convenient to take over."
The vague figure said hurriedly.
Duke Yoroc nodded slightly:
"Yes."
"Do you have any other commands?"
The vague figure asked respectfully.
The Duke of Yoroc thought for a moment and said:
"One more thing...... I command you to use all the resources at your disposal to secretly investigate the background of the current Earl of Castel, and within a week, I will know all the information about her!"
……
"Sneeze ——!"
In the Earl's Court in North Harbor, Charlotte, who had finished the banquet, took off her coat and changed into a nightdress under the service of the maid, and sneezed coldly.
She looked suspiciously at the closed window, rubbed her nose, and said to herself:
"How do you feel...... Looks like someone was snooping on me?"
Picking up the hot sweet milk on the table and drinking it down, Charlotte thought for a moment and walked to the window to draw the curtains tighter.
