Just when Sean returned to his residence, Earl River was sitting in his study.

His body slumped inside the soft brown leather sofa, and the swinging candlelight illuminated half of his body, as if giving him a golden glow.

Earl River held two letters in his hand and looked at Lucas who was sitting in front of him with a playful expression.

At this time, Lucas no longer had the carefreeness he had just shown on the dance floor. He asked with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, what is written on this?"

"The first letter was from Joshua."

The Earl of the River stood up, put the letter on the flame of the candle, and burned it. (This Joshua is the Pastor Joshua whom Sean saw when he first entered the Holy Light Church of John, and is the assistant of Bishop Benjamin.)

But the smell of burning parchment was so strong that Earl River couldn't help but frown.

...

After the letter was completely burned, Earl River said:

"Joshua said in the letter that the Holy Light Church in Lane is now divided into two factions.

One group wants to contact the Cardinal of the Kingdom of Anjou to overthrow the Archduke Lane and let Sean sit on the throne of the Archduke Lane and become a puppet Grand Duke;

The other group wanted to give up on Sean and only preach, without any formal confrontation with the Archduke.

The internal struggle within the Holy Light Church is also fierce!"

"Whose faction does Bishop Benjamin belong to?" Lucas asked.

"This old guy is from the capitulation faction. Sean went to the church to visit him today. He decided to abandon Sean directly and not allow his paladins, priests, and mercenary groups to have any contact with Sean anymore." Earl River smiled contemptuously.

Said with a smile.

"That old guy Benjamin has always been very short-sighted. If it were you, Earl, you would be inclined to promote Sean to the throne of the Grand Duke, right?" Lucas said.

"You're right."

Earl River sat back on the sofa and continued: "I had the idea of ​​supporting Sean before going to bed this morning, so I specifically asked William to secretly reveal to Sean the best character of the Blazing Cross mercenary group.

But now, I have changed my mind!"

"Oh? What do you think now?" Lucas asked.

"This starts with another letter. Here, take a look at what is written on it."

Earl River handed the unburned letter to Lucas, poured himself a cup of coffee, and took a sip.

...

Lucas took the letter handed to him by Earl River and looked at it, his eyes suddenly changed.

"Last time, His Highness Daniel wanted to kill His Highness Sean. This time, His Highness Robert entrusted you to kill His Highness Sean. This... this..." Lucas didn't know what to say. (Daniel·

Violet is Sean's second brother, and Robert Violet is Sean's third brother.)

"Robert is a little smarter than Daniel. Robert asked us to kill Sean, but we also need to get conclusive evidence to prove that it was Daniel who did it.

Simply put it is:

First, he wants Sean dead;

Secondly, he wants to put the blame on Daniel."

"I think we'd better not do it. After all, Sean is within our jurisdiction. No matter how he died, we can't escape our involvement..." Lucas began to retreat.

But before he could finish speaking, Earl River interrupted him directly: "You first look at the compensation they gave."

Lucas was startled and looked towards the bottom of the letter. After a moment, his breathing became heavier:

"Hoo, ho, a piece of the magic core of a sky-level high-level fire-type monster?!"

Lucas' hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and flames almost burst out of his eyes.

"I'm excited!" Earl River said with a smile: "With this magic core, I think you will be promoted to the sky level soon, right?"

"That's right, I wasn't sure at first, but with this magic core, I am 80% sure that I will be promoted to the sky level in the near future!"

Lucas said firmly, his clenched hands almost crushed the parchment letters in his hands into powder.

"No, I keep this letter for some use." Earl River hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the letter back.

"When you break through the Sky Level, I will also become the second Marquis of the Principality of Lane.

When I marry Vivian to Robert, we will have the capital to compete with that old guy Brandon Hill." (Vivian is the second daughter of the Earl of Rivers, and his direct heir Jesse

Ka is the eldest daughter.)

"Your Majesty the Earl is wise, I will definitely live up to your expectations and rise to the sky level as soon as possible!" Lucas said gratefully.

"You don't need to thank me. Although you are my father's illegitimate son, you are also my half-brother. After you advance, I will help you restore the surname Hehe."

"This is really great. I have been waiting for this day for a long time!" Lucas was extremely excited.

"Then when are we going to kill Sean? How about I go now?"

"Are you stupid?" Earl River glared at Lucas: "You don't need to worry about this matter. Tomorrow I will send your son Lucio to lead the army to help Sean destroy the jackals in Riverside Town.

After he came back, the old guy Xavier Mill, the lord of Water Pine Town, was probably dead too.

After the old guy Viscount Mill is dead, I will let Jessica lure the stupid Brody Mill to attack River Beach Town, and then I will send out the killer.

The killer killed Sean, and I will arrest Brody on the charge of 'killing a direct descendant of the royal family'. By then, the two territories of River Beach Town and Shuipong Town will be mine!"

"Wonderful! No wonder you asked Jessica to provoke the conflict between Brody Mills and His Highness Sean today. It turns out that it has already laid the groundwork for what will happen in the future.

Hetan Town, Shuisong Town, the magic core of a high-ranking monster in the sky, the title of Marquis, killing four birds with one stone, there is no more perfect plan than this!"

Lucas looked at Earl River with eyes full of admiration. If it were him, he would never have come up with such a perfect plan!

"What you have to do now is to adjust your condition, and when the magic core arrives, you can prepare to break through."

Earl River also yawned as he spoke, "It's getting late, you should go back to sleep. During this period of abstinence before the breakthrough, stop fooling around with those noble ladies."

"Definitely! Definitely!" After Lucas said this, he said goodbye to Earl River and left the Earl's castle.

After Lucas left, Earl River murmured to himself: "Actually, it kills five birds with one stone, River Beach Town, Water Pine Town, Sky Level Magic Core, Marquis title, and a Sky Level warrior...

No, I missed one thing, and Windsor is proficient in playing, so I can barely kill six birds with one stone!

To be able to create such a perfect plan, there is no one in this world who is greater than me!"
