Miss Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either!

"Where's the list?"

"Ah, oh..." The little unicorn was stunned for a moment before realizing what the list in Winster's mouth was, turned around and ran quickly to the intelligence processing office, and before opening the door, Winster added said a sentence:

"By the way, give me the information of the current Duke of the North along with the current situation investigation. Then check the information of the inbound personnel."

There is no need to state a reason. Winster's authority in the clock tower is equivalent to that of Wei Na in Victoria, and Wen is in front of Wei Na. In less than a quarter of an hour, the neat documents have been piled up on the table where the chess board was placed just now. superior.

Winston frowned, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, and gently opened the file.

He almost cursed out loud on the first page.

[Royal Victoria Military Academy annual graduation assessment list]

The first name at the beginning [Bruce Wayne].

Immediately afterwards, he saw the suspected Duke of Normandy mobilizing the northern garrison to contact other dukes.It is suspected that Vincent, Earl of the North, has built a large-scale intelligence network.

What's more, it is suspected that the nobles of the Yan Kingdom participated in this assessment, and their bloodlines seem to reach the royal relatives.

Guys, I'm straight guys.

Winston only felt a little dizzy.

When was the last time Yanguo and Victoria had a joint event of this size?

I vaguely remember those three big cases that involved a lot and are still unsolved.

But even at that time, [Bell Tower], the Supreme Court of Victoria, together with Yan Guoqin Tianjian and Dali Temple investigated together. Although the real royal family members were the leaders of the investigation team in name, they did not show their faces at all.

But this time, compared to the three major cases that almost triggered the war, it was just a graduation exam that was insignificant, and it actually led to the royal families of the two countries?

numb.

Winston looked at the departure date.Three days ago, it should have been in Duolun County for more than a day now.

Even more numb.

He didn't even dare to imagine that if something went wrong between Wayne and the Yan Kingdom royal family, how he, the leader and guardian of Victoria's intelligence agency, would make his suicide note look better.

"Go, go, call someone. Let Albert lead the team... No, forget it, I will lead the team myself."

"Let's go now, and go to the north as fast as possible."

After finishing speaking, he folded his hands together and bowed to a new Anglican cross in the clock tower in response to the trend.

?I hope His Highness Wayne is alright?

Chapter 31 Aristocratic Republicans

Victoria, Northern Territory, Duchy of Normandy.

The Duchy of Normandy had been under the jurisdiction of the Gaul province of the Victorian Empire before the War of the Roses. It was located in the southern border of the empire. According to the rules that mobile cities cannot migrate long distances, it is actually a very incredible thing that it would appear in the northern border. .But there will be exceptions to the so-called rules, and the Duke of Normandy is this successful exception.

In the War of the Roses, he chose to stand on the side of the King of the North who had not yet received the support of the Norfolk family and was disliked by most of the non-Northern nobles. There are not many southern aristocrats, and he is the highest-ranking southern aristocrat. He has been assisting the king of the north in his offensive as an adjutant. This point was not broken until the Norfolk family joined.

The powerful Norfolk family is much stronger than the Normandy family in terms of internal background and paper strength. Although Ernest's arrival took away the second-in-command position that originally belonged to the Duke of Normandy, the King of the North Compensation was also given accordingly. For example, during the reign of the King of the North, he coordinated the waterways and supplies of many mobile cities in the empire, and transferred the Duke of Normandy in the south all the way to the north, which was destined to rise after the victory of the war.

But now, the Duchy of Normandy seems to have become the most powerful force in the former kingdom of the northern border, and there are faint signs of local snakes.

At the time of morning and evening, the sky is dyed with an intoxicating yellow, and the dotted breasts are like bubbles in ale, gradually disappearing in the approaching moonlight.

The Duke of Normandy didn't have dinner today, or in other words, the entire dining room of the Duke's Mansion was transformed into a sand table of the Earl's Mansion in Doron County scaled down by him.

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the three-story earl's mansion in the garden in the center of the sand table, and asked the tall officer beside him without raising his head:

"If we attack with all our strength, how long will it take to win here?"

"Five to ten hours, sir. About half a day if all bunkers, escape routes and hiding places are to be cleared."

The tall officer replied that his attire was very strange. Even though it was late May when the weather was getting hotter, he was still wearing a thick tall hat to cover up something deliberately.But his pointy ears and the characteristic tail behind him still give away his race - the Sarkaz.

"Why did it take so long?"

The Duke of Normandy asked dissatisfiedly,

"Hasn't our assassination against Thomson been successful? Their intelligence network should have been paralyzed."

The Sarkaz man shook his head, while complaining in his heart whether the reckless action of planting a bomb on the train tracks of others and blowing up people and cars together could really be called an assassination, while explaining:

"You don't know, Your Excellency, since your first assassination against him caused his kneecap to be shattered, Thomson has gradually handed over the intelligence network covering the entire northern border to her daughter. Although we have successfully assassinated Thomson, but the intelligence network has only experienced a very small shock before returning to stability, it is conceivable that Heidi Thomson has a grasp of this intelligence network to a point that we did not expect."

"......"

Silently, he looked at the Sarkaz officer in front of him for a while, confirming that there was no panic in his eyes. The Duke of Normandy withdrew his gaze, lit a pipe for himself, took a deep breath, and the smoke covered his face. Shrouded in haze, he said:

"Is there a way to fish her out and get rid of her?"

"Your Excellency, you know it's difficult, we..."

The Duke of Normandy knocked heavily on the edge of the sand table with his knuckles, interrupting Officer Sarkaz's explanation, and said loudly:

"I asked you if you have a solution. I was asking you to come up with a solution, not to make you shirk. I think that when I fought for the king of the northern border, even if it was a difficult battle, I never shirked it!"

The matter between you and the king of the north has nothing to do with me.I'm just a mercenary for money.

Silently cursing a few words in his heart, Officer Sarkaz thought for a while, and said:

"It's possible, but we need an opportunity. According to the report from our scouts, there is a troop carrier carrying the flag of Londinium heading towards Doron County. Do you know about this, Your Excellency?"

The Duke of Normandy nodded in surprise and said:

"I know that the Royal Military Academy regards the hordes of infected creatures that recently appeared on the outskirts of Doron County as the assessment target for this year. Those are the students who came to take the exam."

He frowned, and warned coldly:

"Don't fight the doctrine of those students, I warn you, they are the future pillars of the motherland, the rising stars of Londinium!"

"But you are the indispensable pillar of Victoria now, Your Excellency the Duke."

Officer Sarkaz's dark brown vertical pupils shone with a piercing light, and he asked:

"If Heidi were to report to Londinium what you did in the north, what would the newly crowned empress think of you?"

The Duke of Normandy fell into a deep silence.

Indeed, there are some things, once the newly crowned empress knows, his already embarrassing situation will only become more critical.

His identity and status were obtained by serving the king of the northern border. However, since the king of the northern border fell and the orthodox royal family returned, his situation has become more and more embarrassing, although Londinium has not issued an edict to him He did not send a single soldier to the northern border, but the northern border that was once unified under his banner has consciously begun to split.

The aristocrats who used to ask for warmth gradually became alienated, and the flattering magistrates also began to ignore him, as if they all tacitly agreed that he, the Duke of Normandy, was about to fall.In order to keep this authority, he did many things in private.

For example - assassinate nobles who are dissatisfied with him, eliminate businessmen who sing against him, block and erase writers who advocate kingship.

However, if it is just these things, it is not enough to shake his position in the northern border, and it is not enough to make a powerful grand duke go to the gallows.

The most critical thing is, does his "noble agreement" with several other grand dukes-Victoria really need a king?

Yes, the Duke of Normandy has gradually had this kind of doubt during the past ten years of being in charge of the northern border on behalf of the king of the northern border.And finally stood out from the many aristocrats who had doubts about this, and became the leader of the most secretive, largest, and most influential organization "Aristocratic Republican Party" in Victoria.

The aristocratic Republican Party, which is neither loyal to Aslan nor Drake, aims to overthrow Victoria's imperial rule and change Victoria from a kingdom system to a federal system governed by an aristocratic parliament with the dukedom as the basic unit.

If this incident is revealed, it is conceivable that it is not just as simple as the Duke of Normandy being carried to the gallows, but the entire Victorian aristocratic system may usher in turmoil or even reshuffle.Fortunately, there are not many people who have mastered this secret, but unfortunately, the intelligence network controlled by Heidi Thomson happened to obtain a decisive evidence sufficient to prove their existence.

Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty. Regardless of whether Heidi Thomson and her father know the existence and significance of the evidence, they must die.

Only the dead can keep secrets.

"...tell me about your plans,"

The time of thinking passed for a long time, and when the Duke of Normandy raised his head, the tobacco in the pipe had been burned out.Not noticing the nervous sweat running across his cheeks, he said slowly,

"Hurry up!"

Chapter 32 Kelsey: Understood, go right away

Victoria, County Toronto, Earl Vincent's House.

Wayne looked at the building in front of him in a little surprise. Strictly speaking, this was the first time he saw a living noble mansion.I have seen many dead ones, and he even took over the Lancaster's house in the western suburbs.Although the emperor is the biggest nobleman, the imperial palace is not comparable to ordinary noble mansions after all.

In Wayne's impression, the noble mansion should be bigger, but the single-family villa in front of him is only three stories high, standing in the well-tended garden, which is more like a high-end hotel than a noble's accommodation. The hotel is quite different from the medieval aristocratic castle in Wayne's mind. Generally speaking, it is not grand enough.

In fact, medieval-style aristocratic castles are expensive and difficult to repair. They are as hot as an oven in summer and as cold and damp as an icehouse in winter. In Victoria, the birthplace of the steam revolution, it has long belonged to An obsolete object abandoned by history.Except for a few tourist cities that deliberately retain their characteristics, it is rare to see that kind of castle.

Seeing Wayne standing in front of the car, gazing at the villas in the distance in a daze, Chen couldn't help but feel sad.

Of course she knew what Wayne was thinking. Ever since they parted that night, Chen had spent time looking up the history of the Lancaster family in the National Library of Victoria. The world's financial center [Lentinium Core City], the family that controls one-third of Victoria's economic lifeline, just how glorious it was in the past.

However, today, classmate Bruce can only stay in that humble villa in the western suburbs, and even his freedom is restricted by others.The mansion in front of me is not as good as one ten-thousandth of the main house of the Lancaster family in the historical documents, but it is also much more magnificent than the small villa in the desolate grassland.

Looking at things and thinking about people, seeing things hurting, seeing the noble leader in front of him, Bruce seemed to see himself back then.Is that why you are so ecstatic?

Chen couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in his heart, and he took the initiative to stand beside Wei En, stretched out his hand, and gently rubbed Wei En's blond hair.

"Don't look, let's go."

A raging flame ignited in her eyes, as she firmly encouraged like a natural hero,

"Student Bruce, don't be sad, you have to resist when you are oppressed, and you have to regain everything you have lost by yourself! Come on, you and your family will definitely make a comeback!"

Wayne had just been brought back to his senses by the sudden head-touching killing, and was confused by Chen's inspirational speech.

my family?

Oh what happened to the orthodox royal family of Great Aslan?

Isn't it just that the number of people is a little thinner (referring to only two left).Isn't it good besides that?

......

Well, it seems that underpopulation is a serious problem for the royal family.Take a look at the emperors of Dayan, which ones were not born with open arms. It is not a joke that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, but this is a historical fact recorded in history.

However, student Chen Huijie, what do you mean by saying this?

Feeling flustered by Chen Chire's staring eyes, Wei En thought for a while, then took a small step back.

The nature of the dragon is what it is, but there are cute lions at home, so if you don’t make an appointment, we won’t.

Wayne just opened his mouth to ask something, but Chen grabbed his hand and quickly followed the team that had already gone far ahead - driving is prohibited in the noble territory, only walking is allowed to show the respect of the nobles Status, although the students of the Royal Military Academy are backed by the General Staff, it is better not to break this kind of rule until it can be broken.

In front of Earl Vincent's mansion, the first batch of students who arrived have already entered the mansion. Earl Vincent is a very careful person. He has prepared pillows and blankets for each student in advance. After receiving them at the gate, the servants can Under the guidance of the guide, enter the mansion and choose your own room.

Accommodation for the first batch of students is generally on the first floor, then the second floor, and finally the third floor with the earl's bedroom.When Wayne and Chen lined up, the number of floors had already reached the third floor.

However, before Wayne stepped into the mansion, there was a dull roar from behind.

Earl Vincent with a mustache frowned, stretched out his hand and patted the old steward who followed him, pouted his mouth in the direction of the roaring sound, and said:

"Go, send someone to see what's going on?"

The old butler's brows were tightly frowned, and he didn't hesitate a bit after receiving the order. He connected the walkie-talkie in his hand, and said to the guard who should be on duty at the gate:

"Follow me to the Northwest Garden District to check, I just heard a strange sound."

It seems that the signal at the door post is not very good. Nearly ten seconds after the intercom was connected, there was an intermittent and unclear echo:

"Understood, go right away."

........

Earl of Vincent, gate post.

Kelsey easily knocked down the two burly-looking Lupus gatekeepers with clean movements, without even summoning mon3tr.

Standing in the glass booth at the gate, she looked at the noisy Earl of Vincent in the distance, and she couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

About eight years, right?

The last time she was invited by Earl Vincent to visit here as Brother Lateran, it was a snowy night. Here, she received a message from the nobles of the "Northern King's Party" and also received a special message. Rezia summoned her to return to Kazdel's letter. The little Heidi who delivered the letter to her in the snow was only 14 years old.Now that eight years have passed, she once again set foot on this land, but by sneaking in.It is doomed to never meet the grown-up Heidi again.

But it doesn't matter, there is a lot of time for reminiscing about the old days, and the most important thing Kelsey lacks is time.She came to the Earl of Vincent in Duron County this time with a more important purpose.

Observe which "His Royal Highness Wayne Bruce".

Let Teresia express her trust and make Teresis feel stunned. She is also one of the few legends in this land who makes all mistakes in her judgment, or even runs counter to her.As Teresia's courtier and friend, Kelsey must guard her

—to make sure he wasn't some old undead puppet's puppet.

There is no shortage of such spells in this land. Ursus’s undead black snake can weave a net with the help of “seeds” to act instead of her human body. It is not ruled out that there are other people who will also have this disgusting spell. .

And if Wayne Bruce is really the puppet of a certain immortal, then his purpose of approaching the Demon King is questionable.

Teresia is much better than Kelsey in distinguishing lies, but in dealing with immortals, few people in the entire land can claim to have more say than Kelsey, so this task can only be done by her. To be done.

However, before she could move towards the mansion, the intercom in the gate suddenly rang.
