Chapter 215 Squinting can't be bothered(1/2)
In the conference room of Black Dragon City, several core members of Rennes, Yumier and Mafa are holding a secret meeting.
Kanosa is sharing the intelligence gathered by the Chamber of Commerce in recent months.
"The City of Glory announced the establishment of the 'Glory Kingdom'. The previous hunting system in the city had been abolished, and then almost copied the aristocratic system of Omashid. The five major tribes grew into kings and enfeoffed a large number of nobles. Because of the [Black Tide], a large number of ancient ruins have been found west of the Alcoon Mountains, becoming a real 'Wild Hunting Holy Land'. A large number of hunters and civilians have poured into the 'Glory Kingdom' from the two empires after hearing the news, and the population migration tide has become increasingly fierce. It takes about a few years to make the population of the 'Glory Kingdom' be comparable to the two empires..."
"Now the old nobles of the two empires are also panicked. The territory has lost a large number of people, and they have to order martial law and issue laws to impose the smuggling to the City of Glory. But the effect is not good. On the contrary, because of the martial law, the people at the bottom have complained, and the conflict between the nobles and civilians is continuing to intensify..."
"I got the news that the establishment of the 'Glorious Kingdom' was also under the influence of the Oma royal family. I guess those people now regret it... It can be predicted that if there were no accidents, this emerging 'Glorious Kingdom' would soon reach the scale of the empire and become a major concern for the two empires."
“…”
Rennes and Yumil had already known some inside information about the establishment of the City of Glory.
Because this was reminded of this in the letter Metternich sent to Eumier.
However, when he heard the news came true, he was still surprised.
This plot feels like after a feudal dynasty was destroyed by the revolution in Rennes's previous life, a big head usurped the fruits of the revolution and announced the restoration, turning a backwards on history.
The "City of Freedom" was clearly a good "City of Freedom" and suddenly became a semi-feudal slave system with centralization.
Moreover, [Kuri Tide] also helped Guanghui City establish a country with a great benefit.
A large number of people moved here, which really made those guys find a big advantage.
But at the same time, Ren also thought of the bearded librarian.
This is a city he created, so how could he be willing to do so randomly?
......
Renn asked, “Will Master Kavo allow the five major families to do that?”
Kanoza listened, shook her head and said, "Master Kavo never showed up. And according to the information obtained by our Chamber of Commerce, after the outbreak of [Black Tide], Master Kavo disappeared along with the "Glorious City Central Library"."
When Renn heard the news, he was surprised: "Did it disappear? Could it be that he was killed by people from the five major families?"
Hearing this, Yumier, who was standing beside him, said in a deep thought, "This should not be possible. In the City of Glory, no one can kill Master Kavo."
"Yes."
Kanoza also nodded in recognition of this statement and said, "Master Kavo is in his magic tower, no one can kill him."
After a pause, she changed her mind and said, "Also, the intelligence personnel of our chamber of commerce have obtained a very interesting information. That is, on the day when Master Kavo and his library disappeared, the eldest prince of Oma Quentin was assassinated outside the library!"
Hearing this, Yumier was shocked: "Is Quentin dead?"
In order to maintain the absolute security of the initial construction of the territory in the past few months, she did not allow any spy personnel to collect intelligence, but unexpectedly such a big incident happened.
Moreover, as it seemed before, Quentin was already the next emperor of the Oma Empire, how could he be assassinated? Who killed it?
Even Sid dared not take the risk of fighting between the two countries when assassinating the heir to the throne of Oma.
And, there is no motivation.
Quentin's inheritance of the throne is not only not harmful to diplomatic relations between the two countries, but will be better than now.
If the assassin comes from other forces, who will it be?
Yumier thought about all the possibilities quickly in his mind. The last speculation was that the one who had the most motive to kill Quentin was actually her, the eldest princess who was expelled from the core of Oma's rights!
When Kanosha said this, she indeed gave Yumier a strange look.
Obviously she thought so too.
Yumil shook his head and said lightly: "I didn't do it."
Of course, Ren also knew that it was not Yumier who did it. But it was strange. Who would have nothing to do to kill Quentin? Still in the City of Glory?
When Kanosha heard Yumier's words, her brow frowned slightly, and she became even more confused.
She continued: "I also have some information sources in Oma's official... So, I got the files of the assassination of the eldest prince Quentin at that time."
As she said that, she took out a file belt with some kraft paper and handed it to Rennes and the others.
It is written on it with the confession of the eldest prince Quentin guard group.
After walking out of Metternich, every word he said to the eldest prince was written.
Seeing the detailed information, Yumier's face looked slightly distorted.
The Oma officials who can access these top-secret information must have a high position, but are now being obtained, which shows that the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" has reached a very terrifying level of infiltration into Oma's senior management.
However, it was just a little unexpected. After all, the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" is now an ally, and Oma has nothing to do with him.
Renn glanced over the file at a glance. When he saw Quentin's strange way of death and the inexplicable relationship, he was also shocked: "It was not that the eldest prince was assassinated, but that he was going to kill his aide, the guy named 'Clemens F. Metternier', and then was inexplicably backfired and killed himself?"
He felt that his thoughts had to be carefully sorted out, which was a bit messy.
He once met the guy who likes to play cards but is obviously "schizophrenia".
Not to mention, is Metternich the most powerful aide to the Queen's faction?
Now... when the master's trust is not trusted, he wants to kill him; if he fails to kill someone, he will be fucked?
After sending that letter before, Renn realized that the guy named "Metternier" was not in a right position.
But he also asked Yumier that this guy was not the secret she buried, which made that person strange.
But after seeing the following conversations, Ren suddenly felt as if he understood something.
"Well, Metternich and Queen Oma have a leg up? Damn, is the noble circle so good at playing?"
Renn looked at the details behind the information and looked in disbelief.
The content is absurd and incredible. Even the minstrel dare not arrange it like this, but it was the accurate information provided by Kanoza!
Cuckold the emperor? He also killed his son?
Rennes suddenly changed his mind about that Metternier. He is a cruel person...
Oh, no, including expelling Yumier, this guy has done everything that offended the Oma royal family.
What a fucking grudge?
......
Kanoza looked at the strange expressions of the people who saw the information and showed an unexpected smile. She also said, "I couldn't believe it when I saw this file. However, after I later verified from multiple sources, this information was absolutely correct."
Renn asked casually: "How did that guy Metternich kill Quentin?"
"It should be extraordinary abilities such as 'super-in-place curse' and 'damage transfer'..."
Kanoza said this topic with a slightly solemn expression. Even if she advanced to the legend, she was not sure of dealing with such strange killing methods.
After a pause, she said: "It is normal for the 'gambler sequence' to have some strange abilities. It is not normal for people who inherit this sequence to be mentally ill. The previous generation of gamblers, Olatu K. Kant, was a guy who was addicted to gambling and was looking for people to bet cards everywhere. But even legends, no one was willing to play cards with them. Because others played cards for money, they played cards for life. Their extraordinary abilities seemed to be gambling cards with people. If they won, they became stronger and stronger, and they lost... It seems that they had never heard of losing."
"curse?"
When Rennes heard this, he was in a bad mood.
The squinting eyes looked like a normal person, except for a little schizophrenia. Is it so evil?
When he thought about his experience, could he have suffered some "curses"?
Thinking that so many big guys were present and someone could make a reference, he said weakly: "I played the cards with him for the afternoon... and also bet on a single game."
Kanoza thought she had heard it wrong, and was stunned and said in surprise: "Have you played cards with that kind of person?"
Not to mention whether the successors of that gambler sequence would play with a low-level extraordinary like Rennes. If you just play, you are still alive?
"It seems like yes..."
Then, Renn took out a poker, which was naturally the "color clown card" left by Metternich, and asked again: "Everyone, I... didn't win any 'curse', right?"
Yumil also heard about the original card game, but she didn't know that Metternier was the inheritor of the gambler sequence. Now, when she thinks about it, things are even more complicated.
Kanosa felt that things were getting weird, and her already chaotic thoughts were even more confused at this moment: "There are also Kavo and Bazel, you four played poker for the whole afternoon? And, in the end, they bet alone, and you actually won?"
Renn shrugged helplessly, "Yes. Then I won, and he also divined me once."
Kanoza couldn't help but twitch the corners of her eyes and looked at Renn with a faint look, "You are really brave..."
After a pause, she said, "However, the guys who are gamblers have bad brains, but the gambling products are still good. Since you win, he will not harm you."
Hearing this, Renn felt relieved.
Then he made up his mind to never play cards with strangers next time, especially with his squinting eyes!
......
It is obvious that Metternik had already foreseeed that the eldest prince Quentin would kill him.
After all, Renn knew that he was still a "divinist".
But this guy didn't escape, but instead killed his master.
This makes people confused...
The few people finally read the files repeatedly, but they couldn't figure out why Mett did this.
But now the direct consequence of Quentin's death is that Oma's political situation is in chaos and the old aristocratic group is divided.
The old nobles joined forces to drive away Yumier who wanted to reform and determined that the heir of the imperial power was the eldest prince. This was the final candidate that was in line with everyone's interests in the game between various forces.
To be continued...
