Transcendent Noble

Ten years ago, Wimbledon Jr. Baron was assassinated by the unknown wizard, and Victor suspected that his arrival was related to the wizard and to the extraordinary existence behind the wizard.

Find out the roots of the wizard, and perhaps have a chance to catch the tail of the extraordinary existence, but the wizard who murdered the little Baron was suspected of encountering a witchcraft backlash and died in the basement of a hotel in Black Castle Town. Victor was still very weak at the time, for fear of causing suspicion from others, and even more afraid of touching the attention of the transcendent. He has never sent anyone to investigate the details of the wizard's death. The clues seemed to be interrupted in this way.

Until Victor captured Throat Slasher who assassinated him in his territory. According to the killer’s account, he was ordered by Raymond Peter to purge the moon elf nobles in the human kingdom. At least two nobles died under his dagger, one is the noble girl Michelle, and the other is the lover of Queen Suse. .

Nobles and civilians are in two worlds. Moon elves bloodline aristocrats are heavily protected by the great aristocrats. How can the fierce civilians assassin assassinate the moon elves bloodline aristocrats? Even if you succeed, how to escape? Once assassin is captured, can the mastermind escape?

Raymond knows the whereabouts of his cousin very well. It is not difficult for him to kill Michelle, but it will leave very obvious traces; Queen Eleanor’s lover is heavily protected, and logically, Throat Slasher is not at all. The chance to assassinate him. However, he happened to kill the queen's lover and was able to retreat all over his body. This shows that Throat Slasher’s assassination of the queen’s lover was secretly promoted by Lord Suse. This may be a warning from the Suse giants to the Eleanor family, but it also shows that Raymond’s attempt to murder the moon elf nobles has been The noble saw it.

Masked Brotherhood serves both Borui and Suse nobles. Throat Slasher used the channels of Masked Brotherhood in Suse Kingdom. It is not surprising that he revealed his identity and purpose.

Duke Peter was warned by Lord Suse and quickly found out the truth. He decisively executed Raymond’s close steward, deprived him of his family inheritance, exiled him to Nanfeng Port, and arranged for him to participate in the infiltration of Barbarian Kogan. Race's military actions were used as a meritorious service.

Throat Slasher is a paranoid madman, full of hatred of the nobles in his heart. Raymond. Peter is also a lunatic? If he was not a lunatic, or was influenced by witchcraft, he would do such a crazy and reckless stupid thing.

The broken thread is reconnected. Raymond Peter entered Victor's sight.

After that, Raymond hosted the Southwind Chamber of Commerce and attacked the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce's business network in the Dodo kingdom. He used the power of Masked Brotherhood. Mercury not only captured the Blood Guard's color-changing cloak, but also had a close contact with the mysterious wizard organization.

Victor has reason to believe that the nest of the wizard organization is in the Eastern Alliance. They have a relationship with the referee. Considering the fact that Paladin hunted the wizard, the two parties should be in a captive relationship. The secretive wizards do not want to be the pig in the court. They have the ability to support an aristocratic agent.

Suse Kingdom future prince Raymond.Peter? It's a good choice...

Victor didn't have the ability before. Now, His Royal Highness Randal can try to put an eyeliner next to Raymond Peter.

The specific plan is: Todd takes refuge in Jacob Ludwig as knight-errant Duncan and tries to trick him into attacking Peter Young Master who is patrolling the forest defense line at dusk; Todd is Jacob Plan the assassination, win over the former sheriff of Stonetred City Wamon, and participate in the attack on Raymond Peter. The return is that the children of Wamon's family are favored and helped by Jacob Ludwig, and if the assassination is successful, they will pay atonement for them. Jin helped them get rid of their status as prisoners and joined the royal family of Cambis.

Wameng is the dark child chosen by Mercury.

He was convicted of the assassination of Jinlique count, and was deprived of his family name and noble status by the lord Dwymick. The referee sentenced him and his family and vassals to perform 10 years of hard labor in the Yellow Forest Defense Line , And then exiled to Eastern Alliance.

When Nelson led the bear regiment to attack Hora Ludwig at night, the Warmon Sheriff left Hora and led the family's children to break through. Wamon and his family suffered the most severe punishment from the nobles for this, but at least they did not fall victim to Hora count, temporarily saving the lives of the family's children.

Mercury's evaluation of Wamon is: selfish, cherishing family, judgmental, and decisive.

People like this won't listen to Todd's words, not to mention that they don't have close friendships themselves. Wamon could not be sure that Knight-errant Godfrey was Jacob Ludwig, and Todd would not introduce him to Jacob. This in itself is a trap laid by Mercury, with Jacob, Warren and Raymond all in the game.

Todd did not directly encourage Jacob to assassinate Raymond Peter. This is the most stupid way. As long as Mercury creates a fatal encounter and provokes a chaotic conflict, he is not afraid that Jacob will let the murderer of Fiancee go.

Jacob had no prior knowledge, how could Todd recommend Warren to him? Wamon failed to see the victim, and immediately knew that this was a trap to kill him. However, from the moment Todd found him, he had no way out.

Wamon cannot report to the priest. Because he was a prisoner of crime, his words had no weight and he could trample at will. The aristocratic status saved him once, but couldn't save him a second time. He has no evidence in his hand, and the assassination has not taken place. It is a capital crime to slander a Knight noble with a high bloodline. All can only go on according to the script of Mercury-pretend to agree to participate in the assassination operation, pretend to be polite with Todd, spy on the ambush The plan is to turn back the water at a critical time and spare no effort to rescue Peter Young Master in distress.

If you fail to rescue Raymond, you can't escape death, but if you succeed, you may be favored by Raymond Peter. Valen is not an ignorant civilian. He can make judgments in his own favor and will inevitably seize the opportunity to change his destiny.

Assisting Todd in assassinating Raymond is equivalent to bringing about one's own destruction. Just look at the identities and camps of the two sides. One is the princely son of Cambis, Jacob Ludwig; the other is the eldest son of Lord Borui, the future prince of Suse, Raymond Peter. Wallen once assisted Raymond Peter's Southwind Chamber of Commerce to fight against Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce, thus offending Wimbledon marquess. With this relationship, it is not wise for him to take refuge in the Blue Sparrow family of Gambis. He cannot bear the hostility of Wimbledon marquess, but Raymond Peter is more likely to accept him.

Walen knows who to help with his ass!

However, Mercury chose all of this for him.

The excitement is yet to come. Assuming that Wamon succeeded in helping Raymond and was favored by the other party, he must not tell Raymond the truth, otherwise he would just know the truth and fail to report it. He pretended that he had no knowledge of the assassination plan.

This leaves a handle for mercury.

Of course, it is Todd who Warren wants to kill the most, but his worries are purely redundant, because instead of sue him, Todd will try to cover up for him and find a suitable one in the future. Opportunity, slowly concoct him. And Jacob simply didn't know him, and he was impossible to drag him into the water.

You can't report beforehand, and you can't confess afterwards. Warren should be able to think that he was targeted by a great influence, but he had no choice but to jump into the pit that Mercury dug for him.

Victor was amazed after reading the proposal submitted by Barroll. Paul Randal is so young that he has a lot of crafty plots and machinations, playing Knight Varmon on his hands, and he is even better than his teacher Barol.

In fact, this fully reflects the huge gap between organizations and individuals. The information that Mercury grasps, the manpower it mobilizes, and the resources it controls are beyond the reach of Wamon. Even high-level Knight Jacob and Raymond Peter have become Mercury's goals and chess pieces.

Unconsciously, Mercury has grown to such an extent... Victor couldn't help but feel complacent. The entire plan was planned and executed by Mercury. He was only responsible for issuing orders and did not intervene. During this time, he lived in the royal holiday manor and was engaged in the research of the secret bloodline of the soul. Mercury could not contact him. The execution of the infiltration plan, the unexpected situation in the middle, how many alchemy militias Mercury sacrificed, and Wamon was dead or not. Life, whether he was taken in by Raymond Peter... these things, Victor doesn't know now, in fact, he doesn't care much about the results.

If you fail, you can do it again. Mercury now has this ability.

His Royal Highness Randal smiled and seemed to be in a good mood. Tennes tried to ask: "His Royal Highness, look at this matter..."

Turn his eyes back to Tennes’s face, Victor He smiled and said, "My friend, you should consider yourself now."

Tennes was the first court nobleman Victor met. The two sides have always maintained close contact. He even became a part of the Golden Group. Making friends with Viscount Randal gave Tennes some help. But as Victor's status became more and more respectable, the help became a resistance to Tennes's career. The most obvious change is that he was transferred from the Tax Office to the Ministry of the Interior by Regent King. Fiancee changed from the granddaughter of Marquis Ludwig to his cousin. She was also a Dame.

Tennes was supposed to be in charge of the Kingdom’s Taxation Department first, and stay in the most hated position for a few years. Marquis Ludwig will help grandson-in-law pave the way for the rise. The position is for him. In the future, it is not impossible for him to put on the palace ribbon.

Now, Victor has been promoted to His Royal Highness and ascended to the throne of Guardian, and Tennes's career is completely over.

There is more than one Guardian in the kingdom. If every Guardian intervenes in the kingdom’s internal affairs, it is tantamount to picking the bloodline and authority of the War King clan and will only disintegrate the kingdom from within. Therefore, the Guardians determine the direction of the kingdom's development and have the final decision-making power, but they cannot interfere with the king's rights, nor can they cultivate partisans in the court.

Tennes has the label of His Royal Highness Randal on his body, and it is inevitable that he will be refrigerated by Kite Castle.

Faced with the concern of His Royal Highness Randal, Tennes felt sad, but said sincerely, "It is a great honor to be able to serve His Highness."

Victor shook his head and said with a smile: "Tennes, you are all knowledgeable and you have the ideal and ambition to assist the king. It would be a pity to only be the liaison officer between me and Kite Castle..." paused, the conversation turned, and again Said: "Knight-errant Godfrey and Peter's Raymond clashed because of a misunderstanding. Godfrey missed and was captured. He is now a prisoner of Raymond. Peter. As usual, his family has the right to use the ransom to exchange the ransom for His Excellency Peter. Godfrey’s freedom... just don’t know how many guards Godfrey killed the Peter family, did the Knight aristocrat die in his hands? The Peter family has the final say on how much ransom is required to release Jacob. The blue bird family has inherited thousands of years, and the accumulated wealth is bound to be considerable, but the Peter family's lion's big mouth cannot be allowed. To put it bluntly, there must be a limit to how much Jacob is worth, and this limit depends on how great the middleman is.

Tennes eyes shined, respectfully said: "His Royal Highness is willing to help, and our Ludwig family will have our heart to offer it."

"If I mediate, your future It's really hopeless."

Victor waved his hand laughed, and said in a deep voice, "In fact, there is a great nobleman in Gambis who can easily solve Ludwig's troubles."

"......Marquess Sophia Wimbledon."

Tennes was surprised, and immediately showed a thoughtful look.

Victor didn't give him more time to think, and said directly: "You first ask Wimbledon marquess for help. If she refuses to come forward, it will not be too late for me to come forward."

After speaking, he pulled the rope that tied the bell, and the carriage stopped quickly, and the attendant opened the door from the outside.

"My friend, you can go back to discuss with your wife now."

Tennes quickly resigned and left the carriage quietly. The entourage led the horse, but he failed to step on the stirrup twice in a row.

Through the car window, seeing the unsettled Tennes walking away, a smile appeared on Victor's face.

The Guardian of the kingdom does not interfere with the internal affairs of other families. Of course, His Royal Highness Randal of Centaur Hills cannot directly intervene in Augustus' court affairs.

Victor has no intention of destroying the Guardian system of the Kingdom, but the Kingdom’s taxation and financial policies are related to the development of Golden Group. He not only wants to control the Golden Group, but also allows the Golden Group to pass unimpeded in the human kingdom, so that the royal families with strong political aspirations cannot be brought in. The exclusion of the powerful royal family also harmed the interests of the kingdoms. You can imagine how they would react to Golden Group.

Trade tax can solve the potential conflicts between the Golden Group and the royal families. In fact, with the development of agriculture, animal husbandry and handicrafts, trade will only become more developed. For such a large trade industry, no matter whether everyone wants it or not, all kingdoms will levy trade taxes.

No one likes to pay taxes. Those who advocate the collection of trade taxes will definitely be beaten up. Williams once wanted to collect a trade tax, but was resisted by the feudal lord and feudal lord. The chief official in charge of tax reform ended in a miserable situation. He was convicted and sent to the Minsk fortress by Regent King to become a small logistics officer.

The top-down road will not work, so you can only go from the bottom up and muddy the water. The king will take extraordinary measures to encourage the little lords to collect taxes indiscriminately. The situation becomes more chaotic, and the chaos is to the point where public grievances are boiling, and the chaos is to the priest's feet. At this time, the king will come forward to clean up the mess and implement tax reforms.

With it let the kings fool around, it is better to grasp the leadership of the tax system reform and establish a trade tax policy that meets the needs of the Golden Group and can open the financial service sector to gold.

If His Royal Highness Randal does this personally, he will definitely encounter strong opposition from the four princes and lords of the Kite Castle, even if it is beneficial to the royal family. In fact, Victor was unwilling to offend all lords. He was not only the Guardian of the Kingdom, but also the Golden Eye count.

Only Wimbledon marquess is not afraid of offending people. The Marquis of Wimbledon is about to give up the dominance of the Chamber of Commerce. In exchange, Sophia will lead the Wimbledon family into the power center of the kingdom. The tax reform that no one wants to take over is a very good breakthrough. Sophia is implementing tax reforms, and the four princes of Yuanbao have to stand on the side of the lord on the surface, stumbling her, and secretly only trying to facilitate this.

The collection of trade taxes is in the interest of the royal family, and the four princes and the royal family are in fact one.

However, Sophia lacks a suitable spokesperson. Because she herself is a high-level Dame. There has never been a precedent for a high-ranking Knight as the Minister of State of the Kingdom, not counting the Minister of Military Affairs. That position has always been held by the core members of the Augustus Royal Family.

Tennes. Ludwig Viscount is the best candidate Victor can think of. He is a member of the Ludwig family, married Dame of the Ludwig family, and his heir is also named Ludwig. He is willing to serve in the Marquis of Wimbledon and preside over the tax reform. Although he has to bear pressure from all directions, once the tax reform is successful, the Hou Family of the four kings can accept Tennes as the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom.

If you change to another family's scholar, the eve of the successful tax reform will be when he falls.

The most important point, Tennes is already a member of the Golden Group, he doesn't know it.

Pushing Tennes into the seat of Chancellor of the Exchequer is not in vain to get to know him and me... Victor was proud of himself and walked down the carriage to look out at the sparkling Lake Basse.

Suddenly, a sailless boat caught Victor's attention.

It is about 17 meters long and 4 meters wide. It has a pointed bottom configuration. There are three pairs of long oars on the side of the ship, which should be driven by the oars. However, its oars go deep into the water and do not move back and forth at all. Instead, they are doing a semi-rotational motion. The sailing speed is actually only slightly slower than the oars. A lithe and graceful slender silhouette stood at the bow of the ship. She was wearing a women's scholar robe, with white golden braids on her chest, and a pair of crystal glasses on her straight and delicate nose. She was beautiful in appearance, graceful and full of temperament. Intellectual beauty.

Is it Crown Princess Lora?

Victor looked at the weird boat with a heartache, took Caligula, walked quickly to the pier, and asked the guard for a small fishing boat.

"Aka, you go paddling, I'll take the helm."

Caligula sat down with a smile and rowed hard, Victor pulled up the sails and stirred the airflow. With full sails, the small fishing boat drew a white line on the water and sailed quickly towards Lora's boat.

Lora also saw Victor, and she turned around and ordered that the ship actually started to speed up to escape, obviously not letting Victor approach.

Victor is known as the son of the wind. The gust of wind he awakens can't move big boats, and it's okay to drive small fishing boats. Lora's escape action made the stupid big fellow playful, manipulating the oars in harmony with the current, and the ordinary small fishing boat was turned into a speedboat by two transcenders. After a while, he caught up with Lora.

"What are you doing after me?!" Crown Princess stood on the bow, stomping on her hips, and whispered to Victor.

Victor stroked his chest and said with a smile: "Seeing the most beautiful Crown Princess, I can’t help but chase and greet... Your Highness, can I come up?"

Lora is right Victor's answer was very satisfied. The corner of his mouth turned up in a happy arc, and he nodded: "Come on."

Victor and Caligula jumped onto the bow deck and immediately observed the ship's driving mechanism. It has no bottom deck, and the entire cabin is exposed to Victor's eyes. Sixteen sailors were sitting below, two by two, three on the left and two on the left and two on the stern. They stepped on the pedal wheels, and the connecting rods of the wheels drive the oars to rotate.

"This is...this is the boat scull?!" Victor's eyes widened, and he said in surprise.

"Well, this Princess invented it!"

Lora pushed her eyes on the bridge of her nose, and saw the dwarf Lorraine struggling to climb onto the bow deck, so she added another sentence. "Lorraine is my assistant, he exerted a little effort..."

"...Only a little bit." She stretched out her right hand and pinched the fingertips of her little finger, emphasizing a little bit of truth. Just a little bit.

When Caligula saw an acquaintance, he bent over and carried the jumping dwarf from the bottom compartment to his eyes, smirking and greeted him: "Little dwarf."

Look Looking at Caligula’s bull's eyes, Lorraine was silent for a moment, and greeted softly: "Hi, Aka, it's nice to meet you... Today's weather is good, sun shone brightly, the temperature must be hot, the wind is neither too big nor too small, suitable for fishing...Aka, do you know how to fish? Shaking your head to behave not...It doesn't matter, I can teach you...Can you put me on the deck? Lightly, it's like putting a baby, yes, That's it. Well done...you stupid big fellow. My uncle Lorraine defeated a stupid Giant with wisdom!"

Kicked Caligula hard and the dwarf flashed Behind Lora, poking his head out, loudly said: "The most beautiful, wisest, bravest, and noblest long, Her Highness the Princess, your most faithful servant taught a Giant severely today, this glory It belongs to you!"

"Good job, Lorraine." Princess affirmed the dwarf's achievements.

Caligula looked around in confusion, looked down at the dwarf who was making faces at him, and said to Victor: "Master, little dwarf is a lie, there is no Giant here."

"...Aka, for Luo Master Lin, you are indeed taller. You should sit in the bottom deck."

Victor lowered his head and asked the dwarf: "Your Excellency Lorraine, these You invented the scull?"

"I invented it!"

"It was invented by Her Highness the Princess!"

Lorraine jumped out , Waving his arms, explained: "Yes, yes, yes, it was invented by Lora Princess. I am honored that Her Highness the Princess accepted Lorraine’s insignificant advice."

"What kind of advice, Can Her Highness the Princess accept it?" Victor asked curiously.

"The paddle steamer is stupid and stupid. I don't know which fool invented it." Master Lorraine disdainfully said: "The wheels are heavy and the sailors step on it hard; the structure is complex and easy to damage, and it is not easy to repair; Half is on the surface and half is underwater, which increases the resistance and affects the stability of the ship's navigation; the size is too large, and collision accidents occur when it is in the port... The beautiful Her Highness the Princess sighs, why can't the paddle steamer be as dexterous as a fish? Lin Xiang Princess suggested to change the bulky wheels into fish fins and fish tails. Her Highness the Princess accepted the advice of Lorraine insignificant to replace the fins with the long sculls on the ship's side and replace the tails with the long sculls on the stern, and invented flying fish. Ship."

Victor's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Yes! There are long sculls on both sides of the ship's gunwale and the tail section. The long sculls go deep into the water. The wading area is small and is not affected by wind and waves. The resistance is also small. The sailor pedals the runner to let the connecting rod drive the boat scull to make a semi-helical motion under the water, like a fin and fishtail. The propulsion efficiency is higher than that of the paddle wheel, which is convenient for repair during sailing, even if the pedal wheel is broken. , The sailor can directly shake the scull, which is very suitable for sailing in the inland lake...I have to admit that the flying fish boat is better than the paddle steamer. Your Excellency Lorraine, did a great job."

"This is Her Highness The invention of the Princess, I just made a little suggestion." Lorraine corrected Victor's wrong remarks.

Victor said with a smile: "Your little advice is of great help to the kingdom. Of course, it is all the credit of Her Highness the Princess... But you can think about it. Wheel linkage, in this case, the movement of the long sculls underwater will not interfere with each other, but coordinate."

"Linkage? Linkage! Linkage... I think about it, I think about it... I Take a look." The dwarf puffed, jumped into the bottom compartment, and began to observe the structure of the pedals and connecting rods.

"Victor, you don't seem to be angry?" Lora looked at the concentrated attention completely intelligent dwarf and asked curiously. Lorraine explained that the inventor of the ship was a fool, and she kept laughing.

Victor smiled and shook his head: "Without countless idiots walking in the front, there will be no great inventors behind, at least the pedal wheels and connecting rod structure of the paddle steamer are still valuable."

Lora opened her mouth, was speechless for a moment, and shrugged her shoulders.

At this time, there was a sudden alarm bell in the direction of Cali Port. The two of them looked back together and saw the beacon of the port church being lit and billowing smoke gradually raised, which was horrible to see red. , As if blood is burning!

"Church red smoke! Guardian vows!"

The Crown Princess of Gambis couldn't help but turn her head to look at the distant mountains on the left side of the lake. Another striking red smoke reflected in jade green's eyes.

"It’s passed from the north. Could it be that the Sasan Empire had an accident? Couldn't the beacon messenger of the church lighting the wrong beacon? No, the red beacon needs the approval of the patriarch to unblock the secret oil... …It's over, it's over, I'm so excited!" Lora said excitedly, holding her red cheeks.

red flames represent the crisis of the entire human kingdom. Once the church ignites the red beacon, the Knight of the human kingdom must abide by the ancient guardian vows, prepare for war, and go for aid. The last time the church lit a red beacon was three thousand years ago when King Ogre broke the capital of the human empire.

Lora ran into a rare event in three thousand years, and she couldn't help but give birth to the feelings of heroic yearning. The disturbance of the two elements of wind and fire around him suddenly calmed down, and a deep breath filled all around, and the ripples of the air and water surface solidified. Lora turned her head and saw Victor's dark golden eyes gleaming, like mist and rainbow, drifting upward along the corner of his eyes.

"You...you, are you crying, or are you a new innate talent for the secret bloodline of the soul?" Lora asked with a gaping mouth. This is obviously a manifestation of the Void Water Element and Void Wind Element, but she can't sense any elemental disturbances in Victor's body at all. But that huge and deep breath is like substance...calm and tranquil!

Is it a special manifestation of the Void Fire Element?

Victor's voice is like a cold wind from the abyss, hollow and cold, and cold to the bones.

"I've been... damn it, just like the ant plague back then, I'm not ready yet, I'm just a joke... Turn around and return to Hong Kong, and we will return to the capital."

"Army Prepare for War!"
