v2 Chapter 889: conspiracy

Located in the northern suburbs of Trier, Cheval Blanc is one of the top ten famous wine estates in Intis, and is also the residence of the Fleurs family in Trier.

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

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

This Mr. Speaker is forty-eight years old this year. Although he is only a "conspirator" at the Sequence 6 level, he has a very high prestige in the family because of his superb skills and keen political sense.

Even the two family demigods who were already the archbishop of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun respected him very much, and one of them pushed back the scheduled schedule and responded to his call.

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

It was a half-giant corpse with a height of nearly three meters. His body was supposed to be extremely strong, but now he looked scrawny, as if his flesh and blood had been swallowed up by something.

"This is... Berth? Isn't he the bodyguard of that kid Johansson? How did it become like this?" A clan member looked at it for a moment, suddenly recognized the identity of the corpse, and said in surprise.

"Both has become like this... What about Johnson? Did something happen?" The other clansmen also reacted and understood the intention of the patriarch to call everyone.

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

And the Archbishop of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, Drew Fleiss, after checking the injury of Perth, said with certainty, "It was killed by the 'Black Knight'."

"Black Knight? Is the hand that Aurora can move?"

"Why would they do this?"

"Perhaps Perth offended them unintentionally?"

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

Just as everyone was in an uproar, John, who had been calm, said, "Both's body was sent back by the Delien family. Their goal is very clear, that is, they are threatening us!"

As soon as these words came out, all the clansmen suddenly fell silent. After all, the Delian family was so powerful that it faintly surpassed Sauron and became the first family of Intis... Moreover, the previous two families were alliances, and their interests had long been entangled. Together, no one dares to slander...

After a long while, a very senior old gentleman knocked on his cane and asked, "What about the Johnson boy? How is he?"

As long as Johansson is fine, there is still a chance of easing.

Speaker John shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't know... According to the investigation results reported by 'Heart of Machines', Johansen originally went to a lesson with his friends last night to teach a lesson to the members of the Delien family who had conflicts with him before. .

"He also arranged rituals in advance to isolate sound and spirituality... The confessions of his friends confirmed this!

"But the strangest thing is that Johansson disappeared completely after that! Several of his friends said they lost consciousness as soon as they entered the house and had no idea what happened.

"The three were finally woken up by the member of the Delian family they were going to attack, and informed the 'Heart of Machines'.

"Heart of Machinery confirmed after the fact that those few people were not lying, but... they all have traces of being possessed by the 'devil'."

——The church sect member of the Delien family lives in the jurisdiction of the “Steam Church”, so it is the “Heart of Machinery” who handles it.

As for why a new picture of "Eternal Blazing Sun" lives in the gathering place of the believers of the Steam Church... That is because he has been preaching nearby, trying to "flicker" the believers of the "God of Steam and Machinery" to "eternal". Lieyang" side.

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

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

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

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

"What exactly does Delean want to do?"

"Are they kidnapping Johansson and trying to force us to stand firmly on his side?"

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

Just when everyone was filled with righteous indignation, the old gentleman tapped the ground again with his stick and asked solemnly:

"Can you confirm that the Delean family did it? Also, was Johansson kidnapped or killed?"

This question pointed directly to the core, and the others also stared at the patriarch, waiting for an answer.

"According to the information reported by 'Heart of Machines', there is no trace of the battle at the scene, and no one was injured except for Johansson's disappearance... He is probably still alive... Because I can't think of any good for others to kill him... However, when the members of 'Heart of Machines' tried to obtain Johansen's whereabouts by means of prophecy, divination, etc., they failed." Speaking of which, Speaker John turned his head to look at his uncle, who had never spoken, the "Eternal Blazing Sun". demigod of the Church," pleaded,

"I remember you sealed your power in an amulet...and that amulet was nothing special, maybe it wasn't destroyed by those who kidnapped Johansson... Could you use this to determine his location?"

The saint of the "Eternal Blazing Sun Church" was named Ji Si. After hearing the request of the patriarch, he was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "You can give it a try."

After speaking, he arranged a ceremony and began to use his abilities to investigate.

Tanigawa

Everyone looked at him without blinking, waiting for the result.

About two minutes later, Saint Guice raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "I have not received any response to my search for Johnson's life, death and location... But the talisman that contains my power is in the ancestral home of the Delien family. !

"Johnson is probably locked in the treasure room guarded by the Delian family... The whole of Trier, except for some parts of the church, is the only place that has ever given me such a feeling."

After listening to this, Speaker John murmured: "That old monster of the Delian family... '0' level sealed artifact... No wonder the 'Heart of Machinery' couldn't predict it!"

At this time, the clansmen also shared their hatred and expressed their desire to show the Delian family a little color, and put pressure on the other party to let Johansson back.

The reason why they are so united is actually because their views on this matter are relatively optimistic. After all, the Prime Minister is in a difficult situation now, and he cannot do without the support of the Fleiss family. He will definitely be put back to Johansson at that time... Maybe you can take the opportunity to get some benefits.

This is what Speaker John wanted to call a family meeting, so he immediately issued an order to temporarily stop all cooperation with Delean!

"Until Johansen is returned!"

...

At the same time, in the castle of the Delien family, Mr. Prime Minister was also caught off guard by this sudden incident, and said to himself doubtfully:

"Who is framing us and provoking our relationship with many allied families?"

He thought for a moment, and then asked a "shadow" in the corner: "Are you sure that Celo left there after killing the 'Guardian' Bos last night, without any extra actions?"

"No, after he killed the half-giant, he went to deal with the other's body, and he never approached Florent Street again." The shadow replied affirmatively.

"Is that so..." The Prime Minister frowned and continued to ask, "Did he not notice any abnormalities in the vicinity after he murdered?"

"The ceremony set up by Johansson and the others was so delicate that even I didn't notice anything... let alone him!" Shadow was obviously quite confident in his abilities.

"I don't know where Johansson learned that level of ritual..." The Prime Minister sighed.

The shadow was silent for a few seconds, as if he was "listening" to something, and then he answered: "According to the explanation of his three companions, it was a Mr. 'Professor' who taught the relevant knowledge."

"'Professor'? Who is that?" The Prime Minister had apparently never heard of the name.

——Bayam is quite far away from Intis, and the Church of Storms and the Loen military have not publicly offered bounties, so Mr. "Professor"'s deeds have not yet reached Intis.

Shadow was silent again, as if not knowing how to answer.

Mr. Prime Minister did not expect to get an answer. After thinking for a while, he had a target of doubt in his heart:

"In Trier, the only people who can do this and have a reason to frame us... are the church and the Sauron family!

"But the church is unlikely to use such tactics...

"So...is it Sauron?

"Is this the dissatisfaction expressed by the former Angel family to our first family in Delian's summit of Intis?"

...

Outside the Sauron family's manor, Elaine took the film tape of "Russell Gustav" and the organized public opinion plan, and asked Mr. Butler to meet the patriarch.

Because of the increasing influence of Abner and the film and television company, her request was granted.

An hour later, Elaine walked out of the gate of the manor full of excitement, then got on the carriage and rushed to the council, planning to discuss with Fanny how to cooperate in the future.

But when she arrived at Parliament, she was told that Miss Fanny was on leave today.

...

Rand Harbor~lightnovelpub.net~ in a small military port on the south coast of Intis.

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

On the boat, Abner played with a monocular 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 for observing the state of sea monsters.

"So that's the case... This thing was made with the 'eye of the secret' of some unfortunate 'astrologer'?

"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 to himself:

It seems that the "barrier" ritual I teach is really misleading and disguising, and the praise fits Johansen and the other three who learned it in the first place...

Of course it's just the original intention.
