Chapter 21 The Seventeenth

The faint moonlight is shining lightly, and beautiful music is rippling in the quiet manor and ancient castle.

The orange lights seem to inject enthusiasm into the place.

Handsome and beautiful men and women danced heartily.

The heights of the castle.

A young woman with long red hair, pale skin, and stunning beauty.

She has an obvious aristocratic temperament, and her brows are slightly strong, revealing her prowess.

Under the scarlet cloak, the tight-fitting leather armor and exquisite combat boots are all scarlet.

Even the gemstone ring between the jade fingers is also red.

She looked down at the dance floor below, her lips as red as blood inadvertently pressed together slightly.

Behind her, there were two more women in the same red robes. They were also beautiful and sexy, but beside her, they seemed to be complete foils.

One of the women bowed slightly.

"Depp Marais, the lord of Fuego County, once served as the commander-in-chief of the southern theater of Tethyr. In the war against the Principality of Carinsey, he won three battles and three victories, and captured the Mir Forest for the Kingdom of Tethyr.

On the surface, the client is the spokesperson of a big nobleman in Calinsay, but according to our people's secret investigation, he should actually be related to Desailly, the second-in-command of the Marais family.

It should be paving the way for his eldest son Ted Marais. In recent years, under the control of Count Marais, Desailly's influence in all aspects has been hit to varying degrees..."

Fireland County!

Tethyr is a well-known prosperous province, but because of the toughness of Count Marais, the Crimson Veil has never been able to truly penetrate.

Such an assassination target! Such a client!

The red-haired woman's cherry lips curved slightly.

Sure enough, no matter which country they are in, things between nobles are always as dirty as ever!

However, if she could give Fuego County a different lord, one with leverage in her hands...

"Let him increase the price!"



Two months later.

An event shook all of Tethyr.

The great nobleman of the kingdom, Count Marais, who has great influence in the military, was suddenly attacked by a large number of assassins when he was hunting in Mir Forest with his young son.

Both the earl and his youngest son died on the spot, and the bodyguard was either dead or lost all traces.

There are clues pointing directly to the Principality of Karinsay across from Mir Forest!

For a time, the atmosphere of war became intense.

The king's special envoys, paladins from several major churches, and envoys from the kingdom's nobles, all gathered in Tierra del Fuego County.

Natural green.

Timon, one of the four members of the Municipal Management Committee and the second son of the Count Marais, hurriedly left in grief.

Another committee member was also entrusted by the Green Dragon to go to mourn in the name of natural green.

But above the funeral.

The incident had twists and turns.

First, someone dug up clues and transferred the suspect from the Principality of Carinsay to Count Desailly.

But Desailly swore in the name of the god of punishment in front of the bishop that he would never hire an assassin.

He also uncovered the dirty secrets behind the scenes and regarded the so-called clues as a frame-up by the Earl's eldest son, his good nephew, Ted.

Just as long before this, his good nephew used the count's name to suppress him in all aspects.

Of course Ted would never admit such a thing.

Before the funeral, the uncle and nephew officially fell out.

As soon as the funeral was over, overt and covert battles began immediately over the succession rights to the title of earl.

Although Ted is the eldest son of the earl, during the years when the earl was in the army, Desailly has always been in charge of the family. Even though it has been unfairly suppressed in recent years, his influence and potential are still much stronger than Ted's.

.

And the military cannot interfere with the internal affairs of such a large noble family.

For a time, Desailly had the upper hand.

But at this time, the incident took another twist.

First, the chief priest of the God of Passion traced an unusual dark atmosphere from the scene in Mir Forest.

Immediately afterwards, there were elite adventurers hired by Ted. Based on reverse reasoning, they first found people with this strength, and then matched them one by one. They secretly investigated one by one, and gradually located the main suspect as the "Crimson Man".

Yarn" on the mysterious red widow.

And when the adventurers and paladins visited together to continue the in-depth investigation, the suspicion of the Red Widow, who was only met as a substitute, suddenly increased significantly.

Even the chief priest of the suffering god rushed over immediately.

With this, and not much time, the true face of the Red Widow was finally revealed.

This legendary assassin turned out to be a vampire!

The dark aura pursued by the priest of the God of Suffering is exactly the power of vampires!

The assassin is none other than the Red Widow!

However, even the chief priest could not keep the Red Widow. In fact, if many killers of the "Crimson Veil" did not dare to directly confront the church after knowing the true identity of the Red Widow, I am afraid they would not be the Red Widow.

Going to run away.

Later, being hunted by several major churches, the Red Widow directly escaped from Tethyr.

The crimson veil also dispersed in a rush.

But there is still no direct evidence pointing to Desailly.

Therefore, under the tit-for-tat confrontation between his brother and uncle, Taimon, who had been marginalized, could only return to the green of nature.

at the same time.

Miranda, who was well prepared, secretly absorbed the power of the "Crimson Veil".

There are inevitably some flukes.

But she didn't expect that the red widow would be a vampire. If she hadn't been cautious enough, she might have fallen into it.

She had also heard of the legend of vampire spawn.

Inevitably, these things, as well as the situation of the Marais family, quickly spread to the Green Dragon.

So, when Timon returned to the green of nature and focused on his career.

Naturally, he received special care from the Green Dragon, and even received him personally.

"My friend, I think you are aware that you will become the first member of the Management Committee. In addition to your ability, your identity is also a major factor.

I regard you, and all of them, as a reliable ally and a long-term partner, so I never want to see any of you decline.

At least in Nature Green, the storm outside will never affect you.

If you have further needs, you can consult Lao Gelin.

Our consortium has been operating harmoniously over the years, and I think they will never mind having another partner like you."

When, to whom, and what to say.

Green Dragon has always had a good grasp.

For this kind of aristocrat, false sympathy is completely useless.

Profit and status are what they consider most.

Tai Meng naturally understood what the green dragon meant. After thinking about it, he nodded seriously: "Thank you very much. I will definitely consider it seriously. I will give you a definite answer after I have considered my position."

Isaac nodded.

This matter is far from over yet, and he is not in a hurry at all.

Three days later, all sixteen elders agreed, and Timon became the seventeenth member of the coalition.

The principle of independence from each other and solidarity and mutual assistance.

The highest body passed a resolution, and sixteen allies will unite to provide assistance to Timon when he deems it necessary.
