Struggle in the Steam Age
Chapter 267: Secret talk
"Is this for a spellcasting medium?" The young man showed an expression of disbelief. "Don't forget that he is now the only heir to the main line of Count Sauer's family, and other people in the family have died unnaturally in a short time. Attacks like yours are too easy to attract the attention of others."
"For the first time, we sent our team responsible for collecting materials in the New World to assassinate the little guy from Auguste’s house. In fact, the first target was his father, but his father was in the Church of Knowledge. The Great Salt Lake Temple, we can’t get involved in the assassination. So we can only retreat and try to get rid of this little warlock who has the blood of a unicorn in the previous investigation.”
"Because the other party's transcendent level is not high in those materials, I think I can get that important magic material easily after catching or killing him." Belishi said. "However, after learning from the surviving members of the team that the operation failed, I did not intend to do it again, but chose to erase all traces of our existence. Because I thought there would be many opportunities of this kind, but the prerequisite was not Let the other party be aware of our existence."
"But you didn't do that." The young man wanted to put a punch in the face of the other person on the note in his hand. "But I dare to assassinate that person again in such a short period of time without telling me, even using explosives inside the city wall circle. This is simply—"
"But we have no other choice, especially after the baron died unexpectedly." Bailishi raised his head at this time and stared at the young man without showing weakness and interrupted him. "Although we are powerful, the internal staff is too messy. Once we are caught by the opponent, any flaw will be completely caught by the opponent."
"And the death of that baron made us run out of time to act secretly. Although we temporarily used a cult to attract the attention of investigators. But I believe that the Orthodox Church, the court, and a series of investigative agencies will soon Just step out of the puzzle we arranged to find the clues we may leave. Therefore, we must complete our magic rituals before they act, so that we can have enough chances of winning under such unfavorable opening conditions. ."
"In other words, I still want to thank you now?" The young man's anger has reached its limit. "Without telling me to mobilize the power I spent to build, I still want to say thank you!"
"Remember, my lord. The people behind me are only working with you. Therefore, we have the right to take some more active actions for everyone's plan." Berishi straightened up and looked at the young man with a slight gesture. With a contemptuous expression. "Because you are too young and experience too little, sometimes you can't—"
"But your positive action this time is not a good thing, just look at this." The young man slapped the note that he had just taken on Berish's hand. "The team you sent was completely counter-killed by that target, and even the captain and casters in the team were captured. If nothing unexpected happens, the people in the referee can pry away the two prisoners tonight. It won’t take three days to catch us at last."
The firm will in this world with extraordinary power does not have much effect in the face of torture. There are so many extraordinary methods that can be used for interrogation, and the most indispensable thing in the court is various interrogation methods.
Although there is a spear and a shield, there are also various extraordinary methods that can be used to keep secrets in the world. But destruction is always easier than construction. Therefore, unless they are the core people, at most they can set up a soul bomb in the souls of those people that can blast all memories after death.
Therefore, once someone who holds key information is captured, some deadly information can easily be grasped by the opponent, just like the problems faced by two people in this study.
"Damn it, we will be locked into our true identity by the group of people in the referee in the shortest three days and the longest five days." An expression of extreme shock was also shown on Berishi's face. "Now I have to notify others, everyone must be prepared. Please allow me to retire now—"
"Stop—" At this moment, the young man who seemed a little flustered before reacted first. "Now we need to know how many people we can actually mobilize here now? And when will they be mobilized to carry out our orders?"
"What are you asking about?" Belishy, who looked like he was about to leave, turned around in surprise and looked at this young man who usually didn't have much self-insight, as if he had met him again.
"Now draw my blood first, so that I can complete the magic ritual as soon as possible. In addition, I need you to inform those of my supporters, telling them that it is time to act. I hope they can write within three days Dobbona assembles and prepares all battles."
"It's impossible, Your Highness." Bellissy showed a very embarrassed look. "You know that the power your supporters hold is mainly in the provinces, and those people want to be undetected. Only three days to enter the capital is definitely not enough."
"I understand, but we have no choice now." The young man said with a face of relief, "Know that we are at least three days away from being completely discovered and discovering what we did in private, but at most five days. Once everything is exposed. After that, I think you know what we will face."
"The probability of us being executed is not very high, but like me, we will definitely be sent directly to a marginal colony to serve as governor for life, and we will never be able to return to our hometown."
"As for the people behind you are nobles, I believe they should not be let off lightly by that person. It is very likely that you will be driven out of the land passed down for generations to be allocated to some barren land. Or Cut your land directly. Even in the worst case, some people will lose their title or be forced to commit suicide and pass the title to their heirs."
"So I want you to think about what we should do next? It's just waiting for that person's punishment. And I pray that destiny will treat you a little more compassionately. Or risk your life and fight with me."
"Anyway, no matter what you choose, I will choose to mobilize my direct staff to do it. Instead of going to a colony where birds do not **** and spend my life under surveillance in the future, I would rather do it. Anyway, I lost. It's nothing more than death, just to escape the boring life that can be seen at a glance. If you win, this country will belong to me."
"——I want to apologize to you~lightnovelpub.net~ Your Majesty." Berishi said seriously after being silent for a while, "Before I thought you were just a prominent identity, but now it seems that you are not There are only incompetent people of noble blood."
Berishi said this because, on the one hand, he really felt that way in his heart, and on the other hand, he used this technique to stabilize young people in the past. After all, blood is very important in this kind of empire with a long history. If this noble young man refuses to cooperate, it will be difficult for the nobles behind him to achieve their goals.
Naturally, this young man is not a fool. The attitude of letting the old foxes be at the mercy of those old foxes was revealed before purely because he has nothing but an identity. Without the sufficient financial resources of the old foxes, he would not be able to cultivate his own trusted staff.
For example, the transcendent who was sent to attack Lawrence this time was not his real direct subordinates at all, but was put on the surface to cheat funds. He believed that the old foxes also knew about this, but because they needed their own help, they had to tolerate some small actions.
"Well, go and tell the people behind you what I said." Finally the young man said, "I hope they can make the right decision."
