Chapter 170 Speculators' speculative behavior
For Count Liszt, his big troubles are far more than these ancestors in front of him, the escaped demons, the torn realm gates, the coming war, and some other things have long been the source of his recent hair loss. These things have been bothering him and making him unable to have a better rest. He also discovered a more terrifying reality that he might be bald.
Think about it, the handsome and extraordinary count is actually a bald man, and the bald one is just the one on his head. When he thinks of this, he is going crazy. When he goes to see the queen in the future, he needs to take off his hat, and then reveals his scalp that can be seen to blind the queen and the nobles' eyes?
The entire empire would laugh at him, laughing at him as he started to bald when he was in his thirties, and he would definitely be an interesting laughing stock!
So at this time, he was really irritated when facing these ancestors. What was even more irritated was the "tradition" of the Forester family. It was actually not tradition at all, but a curse.
The first patriarch of the Forrest family reached some agreement with the gods outside the world in some way. They could customize corrupt swords with exclusive bloodlines and possess various powers. This was originally a good thing, but as the ancestors kept getting up, he also knew another thing.
Corruptibles not only corrupt themselves, but in fact, during the long process of using or wearing corrupt, the corrupt power will gradually be transmitted to people, gradually polluting the body of the wearer, allowing them to become a body suitable for the arrival of great will outside the world without realizing it.
The ancestors in the family all hope that he can become a body carrying the arrival of the gods. The gods will lead the Forrest family to a new glory, and they firmly believe in this.
They had adopted a relatively stupid method before, but failed and lost a family member. Now they took a very gentle method, which was to convince him that a group of ancestors kept appearing around him, moving them with emotion and reasoning them, and they believed that Count Liszt would compromise in the end.
After a moment of gaze, the ancestors started to chat normally again. They were considering taking advantage of the outbreak of this war to move out of Aepeda City. This place is no longer suitable for people to live in. If there is a huge change in the whole world, it may be from here.
At the same time, they talked about Prince Pain's rebellion. Some ancestors believed that perhaps Prince Pain's judgment was also dominated by external forces. The point he stepped on was too accurate. If Prince Pain needed to fight face to face, he must be on high alert.
He knew what these people thought. As long as he was willing to give up his control over his body to carry the arrival of gods outside the world, everything would be solved. Whether it was a rebellion, an underground gate, or a mouse hidden in a sewer, it would melt under the light of the gods.
But the price of all this is that he gave up on himself... Anyway, it was not them who sacrificed themselves, so these ancestors made him make a decision so lightly. He would never give up on himself, and he already had a plan. These ancestors were waiting for the opportunity, so did he!
When certain things occupy most of the time for people to think, people will find that time passes very quickly. In the blink of an eye, many days have passed. Not only Aipeda City, but almost all cities have begun to recruit soldiers, and the atmosphere of war is getting stronger and stronger, and city defense forces have begun to appear in the middle city of Aipeda.
During this period, airboats appeared more than last year's number of times. Airboats continued to appear over the city of Aepeda, some were "royal" airboats, and some were "rebels" airboats. They were all repeating the same thing, that is, spreading information.
A large number of pieces of paper fell from the sky. These pieces listed their own advantages and the enemy's disadvantages in detail, and called on everyone to stand on their own side to welcome this war as much as possible. The final victory will already belong to "we".
If you don’t care about different heads and endings, the statements of the camps on both sides are basically the same. Anyway, the enemy is always stupid, stupid, unable to see the distance, and doomed to failure. This kind of propaganda offensive is also a pre-war convention.
There are always some speculators with different ideas. What needs to be done now is to find these speculators and give them a chance to bet. These people may not look conspicuous. They may be just a worker, a middle class or a rich man, but they can play a very important role.
All fortresses that cannot be broken from the outside will fall, and they have something to do with these people. It will be easier to open the door from the inside.
Apeda City also sent airships to promote over the hostile camp - this is a very interesting thing. Prince Paine secretly contacted some people and allowed them to join the camp of the Liberation Empire. As long as they agreed, most people would be exposed.
In other words, in Prince Pain's camp, there are also some "people" who convey messages, which makes the war camp appear more clearly in front of people. There is no need to over-speculate who is the good person and who is the bad person, which is clear at a glance.
Prince Pain also considered finding the "traitor", but in the end he had to leave it alone. He could not confirm whether the people around him really surrendered to him or stealing the news for the Queen. This coup itself has some problems. It does not have any major truth. It is purely for the sake of power. The people around Prince Pain can be said to be ulterior motives. It is impossible to prove whether they are pure. They can betray the Queen for the benefit, and they can also betray the Prince for the benefit!
In this case, a small group of people quietly penetrated into the city of Aepeda from outside the city. These people all came from the prince camp who claimed to be for "fairness and justice" and actually for the imperial power. When Prince Pain knew that his envoy to Aepeda was killed by Earl Liszt, he did not feel much anger.
He knew very well that his anger was meaningless and had no effect except to make himself uncomfortable. He would wait until Count Liszt was defeated before liquidating the issue with him.
But when some ruling classes from Aepeda found him, he found a way to vent these anger. He arranged for some people to sneak into Aepeda City with these people from Aepeda ruling group, and their mission was to find a suitable opportunity to assassinate Count Liszt.
If the assassination fails, then these people will launch a small-scale city coup, and they will launch an attack, directly overthrow the rule of Count Liszt and control the city of Aepeda in their own hands. In this way, His Royal Highness has another supporter, and he even promised that if things really succeed, new nobles will be born in these ruling groups, and more than one.
This promise made some of the ruling classes in Aepeda City ecstatic. If they could really become nobles, they would reach a completely different height from the present. Some even felt that if the royal camp lost, at least eleven to twelve cities could be vacant. As long as their contributions were great enough, it would be normal for four or five nobles to appear among these people.
Some people even believe that if Aepeda's successor can obtain higher titles, such as an earl or even a marquis, then the new city lord can also enthrone a large number of nobles. At that time, everyone may become nobles. For a moment, everyone is full of energy and wishes that the people in the earl's mansion will die immediately.
In the evening, Charles, who had been in the rank of the Earl's Mansion for a period of time, inspected the Count's Mansion according to regulations. His job was very simple, he was to circle around the Earl's Mansion and blew the whistle when he encountered trouble. He did not encounter any trouble in the past, and no one could not think of it and came to trouble the Earl's Mansion.
Now it is not only as simple as the Earl and the Butler of Angra, but also a group of super limiters and themselves who are strong and can retreat to the enemy with one punch.
During this period, Charles was also thinking about a question, that is, to give himself a good title, just like that magician Sulliff, Swordsman Angres, Blood Moon Liszt, they all have a good title, and even Rotalie has her own title - Golden Lion Luo Dali... No, it's Golden Lion Rotalie, and her personality is out of shape at once?
According to the muscles, this title is related to Rotalie's complete combat form. She will have another terrifying form when fighting. There was once a relatively famous profession of Super Limits, a guy who had seen Rotalie fight said, "When fighting, that girl was like an angry golden lion, roaring and tearing everything in front of her, it was really scary..."
In addition, the name Rotalie itself has the meaning of a lion, so she ended up with the title of "Golden Lion Rotalie".
Looking at other people's titles... Charles felt that he must have a loud and worthy of his title.
While he was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard a sound in the grass, and just glanced at it from a distance and withdrew his gaze.
There are many interesting small animals in the Earl's Mansion. These small animals were brought from outside by the Earl's Storm, and some were airlifted from other places. Every year during the year-end holiday, the Earl's children and his wife will return from Aepda City to live for a while.
For the people in this city, the Earl's family is the most noble person in this city, but in the imperial imperial court..., Aipeda is just a remote small city. In the words of the imperial court, they are all "country nobles".
There are naturally some comparison problems here, so the Earl's children should also have what others have, including some animals they don't actually like.
These little animals have become accustomed to life here. They don’t need to hunt every day, and they don’t have to worry about someone plotting against them. They have been domesticated like real pets. When they see people, they don’t think about where to get their mouths from, but wag their tails to ask for some caressing or benefits.
Some animals that are active at night will move in the yard after dark. Charles is used to it, so he quickly retracted his gaze. Only fools will come to invade the Earl's Mansion...
