You and me under the world tree

According to survivors, two men stormed the palace, overwhelming the guards guarding the palace.

Then directly killed Limstein and his family.

All of these actions seem to be premeditated, because the goal is too obvious.

If it is just a small thief who wants to break into the lord's palace to steal, then the results before and after this are not right at all.

However, there is no useful evidence or trace for this matter.

According to the descriptions of the surviving guards and maids, although they noticed that someone was invading and killing.

But they failed to see the face of the intruder clearly.

In other words, this is already an unsolved case with no beginning or end.

Assuming that Limstein is an ordinary family, then the local guards and governing agencies must thoroughly investigate.

After all, a family was exterminated or something, the impact of this kind of thing is really too great.

However, it was the lord of the Grimes area who was exterminated this time.

Because of this, the entire area including Imst, the central city of the Grimes area, fell into chaos.

Even, the Grimes region itself has the intention of further splitting.

The legions stationed outside and belonging to the lord did not have a unified order, and there were signs of fighting on their own.

And because of the chaos erupting from the upper echelons, there was no progress in the investigation of the lord's extermination.

Even later, rumors spread throughout the territory.

It is said that Limstein was killed by an adventurer who saw things wrong.

It is said that the assassination plan was planned this time because the local residents could not bear the heavy taxes imposed by the lord.

But the assassination was discovered, and so a conflagration engulfed the palace.

In short, there are different opinions on the identity of the intruder, but there is no reliable statement.

It was under such circumstances that the entire Grimes area became more and more chaotic.

The lord is dead, which makes those under him start to move around.

Some people privately began to expand their own land without authorization, and some even started to contact the current ruler Elmrich.

In short, they all want to fight for more power for themselves.

Although Limstein is not a king, but just a lord under the king, the power in his hands is still extremely attractive.

Not to mention controlling everything, but they all want a piece of the pie.

And in this chaotic situation, a piece of news spread: Lord Limstein still has blood left in the world.

I don't know what happened, but someone suddenly dug out Limstein's past affairs.

Just after more than half a month of chaos in the Grimes area, news about the illegitimate child spread in the market.

It is said that when Limstein was young, he had a relationship with a maid in his court, and that maid eventually gave birth to a child.

But how can a lowly maid be worthy of a young man who will become a lord in the future?

Therefore, the maid herself has no status at all.

Even her children.

Later, when Limstein married a noble girl of comparable status as his wife, the status of the maid became even more embarrassing.

She was burdened with all kinds of infamy for this, and eventually even had to leave the court.

But no one thought that this incident, which was common to nobles back then, would make the maid's child the only remaining bloodline.

In this case, the former illegitimate son became the legal successor.

Then, around the existence of the illegitimate child, a battle seemed inevitable.

Almost everyone wants to fight for that legitimacy.

They desperately traced the whereabouts of the former maid, and finally found a small town called Vasgenstein.

According to the information, the maid who was expelled from the court and the illegitimate child finally settled down in this beautiful town after several rounds of dealings.

In their view, such an illegitimate child with a commoner status should be easy to control.

Because his mother was just a maid and didn't have any background to speak of.

And as long as he promises power and status to such a person, and then adds wealth temptation, he is not afraid of this kind of person who has lived a hard life since he was a child.

Almost everyone thinks so.

They didn't know the specific identity of the civilian boy, so they had such a plan.

But after nearly half a month of investigation, they found that this matter was beyond their control.

Not that they didn't find the illegitimate child.

In fact, a maid who leaves the court alone has no ability to erase traces of herself.

And for those who are interested, it is not difficult to dig out these.

walter.

However, when this name appeared in front of them, it would only embarrass them.

Because when they followed the name, they found that this clue led to the place they least wanted to see: the eastern defense line and the frontier army.

According to the information they received, Limstein's illegitimate son Walter joined the army several years ago.

As a soldier, he went to the eastern defense line and joined the frontier army with a high death rate.

If it was at the beginning, they might not take this kind of thing to heart.

But now, times have changed.

Now Hungary has been repelled, and the surviving soldiers of the Frontier Legion are all soldiers bathed in blood.

And more importantly, their leader is Wittig, a former Excalibur warrior.

And based on what the nobles in Grimes know and what they have done, the Frontier Legion has become their confidant to some extent.

How much do they really know?

What did Walter know?

And just when the nobles of Grimes hesitated, the news that they wanted to conceal suddenly broke out.

Almost everyone knew about this, and in an instant, the Frontier Corps on the eastern defense line became the focus of everyone's attention.

Chapter 29: May Die

By this point, the lands ruled by Elmrich were drawn to the change of regime in the Grims region.

And after the identity of the illegitimate son Walter was fully exposed, almost everyone paid attention to this matter.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that Walter is not without his own status and background, and he is destined to collide with those courtiers who once loyal to Lord Limstein and the head of the real power army in the Grimes area.

This kind of thing is almost inevitable.

However, before the onlookers ate two more mouthfuls of melons, new melons arrived.

Because almost at the same time, news spread from the ancient capital of Ravenna that the head of the frontier legion and the number one warrior Wittig loudly questioned Elmrich about the legion's supplies.

And as his confidants, the warrior named Walter and another warrior named Irmin even fought hard in the court and made a big show of themselves.

It even directly put the filth that broke out nearly a year ago on the table.

And until this time, those people who hadn't heard any rumors because of the news blockade knew something that made them feel horrified.

The supply of the Frontier Corps had been interrupted for a long time, and there were even ghosts in the Kingdom who communicated with the Hungarian Empire!

This piece of news was like a boulder thrown into a lake, causing waves to rise in an instant.

It's not just that the people feel unbelievable, the news is even spreading at an incredible speed.

Just a few days later, someone specially assigned this message to the next door, the City of Heaven.

In the study room of the palace, Her Royal Highness, who had already returned to her territory, calmly took out a certain magic device.

It looks like a glove, but the magic runes flashing on it are not to be underestimated.

Then, wearing such gloves with metal traces, Dietrich began to write letters.

'Da da da'

With the sound of the quill pen tapping the paper, a series of beautiful words began to show signs.

At the same time, in the city of Sky's Wrath in the Netherlands, the sage was calmly preparing lunch.

And on the table in the living room, a device for transmitting messages was placed there.

Under Hela's somewhat strange eyes, the hand like a metal puppet was holding the quill pen, leaving a series of handwriting on the paper.

And after a few minutes, the letter was completed.

"Hodder!"

She raised her voice accordingly.

"what happened?"

Hodder, who walked out of the kitchen with the toast, casually cast his eyes on the Queen of the Nether.

"There is a letter, it's from that woman."

"Um……"

Not too surprised, Hodder walked directly to the table.

After taking off the baking gloves, he picked up the letter.

After catching a glimpse of Hila's unobtrusive hand from the corner of the eye, he patted it casually.

"Ouch."

"Bread is the staple food, at least you wait for me to bring out the soup and vegetables."

"Oh."

Hella looked aggrieved.

But Huo De didn't pay much attention, his eyes quickly swept over the short letter.

And the above content did not exceed his expectations.

Rather, the only thing that surprised him was the identity of the young man named Walter.

"Oh, no wonder you act so boldly, it seems that you are aiming at the strong claim of legal blood."

As for other things, that's it.

If we insist on the result, it is nothing more than throwing a heavy information bomb among the people.

However, this information is actually outdated for the upper layers.

Because some things have never been a secret among the high-level, and it can even be said to be tacit.

However, due to the speed of information dissemination and channel problems, these high-level officials unanimously chose to block the news.

why?

"Hmph, what about the wisdom of the great men?"

The aristocratic lords, including the lord, never considered the life and death of the people at the bottom.

In their eyes, the living standards of the people at the bottom have nothing to do with them.

Even if that kind of tragedy may happen right under their noses, they are all indifferent.

For them like this, the most important event before them was the war that broke out.

For these big men far behind, the Frontier Corps is even just an excuse.

With war ahead, they have ample excuses to expropriate the territory unscrupulously.

The people will never know the whereabouts of the food and property, and in the eyes of these lords, the frontier army is just a victim.

They simply could not resist the pace of Hunlan.
