The Marquis of Alc was the tenth Marquis in the previous empire. He was known as the youngest Marquis with the shortest time in office. He was also the grandfather of the knight girl Alyssa.
The news announced by the imperial family was that he disappeared after exploring the restricted area of life.
However, according to their personal intelligence sources like the Marquis, Alke did not take the initiative to explore the forbidden zone of life at all, but was chased by strong men and had no way to escape and was forced into it.
You must know that no matter how weak the Marquis of the Empire is, he is still a ninth-level strong man who has mastered the rules. A "mysterious strong man" who is strong enough to hunt down the Marquis of Arc is also strong enough to hunt them down.
As for the true identity of the 'mysterious strong man', many marquises had already made many speculations, but no one dared to announce it.
The situation he is currently facing involves a very delicate issue: Are the four major families trustworthy in the face of the interests of the ruins?
It's not like Marquis de Winter has never thought about taking the initiative to test the voices of the four major families to see what they really think.
But after some thinking, he finally gave up this option.
According to the secret information he obtained from a high-level prophet at a huge cost: this time, the things hidden in the ruins are secrets related to transcending the ninth level limit!
The authenticity of this news has been verified by special magic, and it is indeed true.
And if even he can get this news, the four major families and the imperial royal family who are more powerful than him will definitely also be able to get this news.
This continent has been without legends for too long.
Faced with the temptation of breaking through the ninth-order natural moat, even if the people from the four major families clearly told him: they would not take action against him, nor would they take action against any marquis.
But can he believe it?
And conversely, the same is true for the four major families.
Marquis de Winter asked himself, if he stood in the position of the four major families, he would not really take action against the Marquises like that 'Zero' said.
But they will definitely monitor these unstable factors closely and intervene secretly when necessary to prevent them from obtaining the secrets hidden in the ruins first.
In other words, it is unlikely that people from the four major families would attack him, but if there is any unexpected discovery at the ruins, it may not be his turn.
The ninth level of the Enoch family paid attention to him in order to monitor him and cause him trouble at critical moments.
The more Marquis Winter analyzed, the more he felt that this should be the real fact.
"snort……"
Glancing at the ninth-level spellcaster of the Enoch family in the distance, Marquis Winter snorted coldly in his heart.
After all, he is also at the ninth level. As long as he does not make any changes, Marquis Winter believes that the four major families will not break up with him.
But this involves another question, the temptation to break through the ninth level, is he willing to give up like this?
Are we going to watch helplessly as the four major families and the royal family obtain the secret of the ruins, and then break through to the ninth level, forever weighing on their heads?!
As the thoughts turned around in his mind, a trace of gloom flashed across Marquis de Winter's dark red eyes.
Like most ninth-level professionals, he also has blood, and he is a rare ninth-level ocean monster [Blood-Eyed Mosasaurus], famous for his ability to control thunderstorms and ocean whirlpools.
But at the same time, the powerful bloodline of Warcraft is also subtly affecting his character, making him cold and stubborn, and does not allow any violation.
It seems that relying on personal strength, there is no hope of getting involved in the ruins.
Then, it’s time to connect with those ‘colleagues’.
Maybe they usually have a normal relationship, but now, they have a common enemy.
Thinking about it, Marquis Winter couldn't help but touch an inconspicuous ring on his little finger with his left hand behind his back.
This ring was sent by the people of Marquis Draka, and it can communicate with each other over long distances without being detected by outsiders.
However, the person who sent him the ring was also a foreigner.
Although he was not in the same camp as the 'Zero' who was sowing discord, Marquis de Winter still didn't like these strangers very much.
Although they were said to be from a distant continent sunk in the endless sea, he always felt that these people were from two completely different races.
With a final glance at the ninth rank of the Ittel family who were paying close attention to his movements in the distance, Marquis de Winter turned and left.
At the same time, his fingers gently rubbed the ring according to a specific frequency, sending a special signal.
At the same time, in a tavern in a small city on the edge of the crater, Ling, who was dressed in black robes, suddenly paused from the wine glass in his hand and looked at the panel beside him.
At the top of the task menu on the panel, the status of an S-level to-be-completed task at the top was suddenly updated again.
The number of people who have been recruited below has increased from zero to one.
People are always more willing to believe in the conclusions they draw through ‘rational analysis’ than what others tell them directly.
However, the so-called analysis can also be guided.
"Ah--"
Glancing at the status bar on the panel, there was a long list of various hidden surveillance effect statuses, and a meaningless smile mixed with a bit of contempt appeared on Zero's face.
During this time, he was hanging around among many nobles and noble descendants in the empire. Although no one really took action against him, it was inevitable to secretly leave some surveillance magic on him.
However, this means nothing to him. Not to mention that it is impossible to monitor the game panel, if you really need to clean up these states, you only need to die once and resurrect.
Putting down his wine glass, he called out the carrier pigeon system, briefly compiled the mission and plot progress report, and prepared to send it to those in the club.
‘The task of wooing the marquis has just made progress. The panel does not show which marquis it is, but judging from the character models of several marquises, 70% are Marquis de Winter and 20% are Marquis Reg.’
‘Next, if there is a tacit understanding between more than five marquises, which is enough to pose a real threat to the four major families, Tongzhongmen will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and the situation in the ruins will be in turmoil.
While the ruins attract the attention of most high-level people, arrange manpower as soon as possible to join the rebel camp, and be careful to choose 'regular' rebels.
Taking advantage of this good opportunity to start, try to concentrate resources on one person, gain a higher status within the resistance army, and strive to gain the authority to lead troops independently. This will be very useful in the future.’
‘I will continue to guide the situation here at Pupil Gate. With these achievements, the leader will definitely value me more.
Next, I should be able to initially mobilize the resources of the Gate of Pupils to try to further influence the internal situation of the empire.’
After writing the content of the letter, Zero relaxed his body and leaned on the back of the chair. He casually folded the system's virtual letter and put it into the container on the carrier pigeon's leg.
I am delivering information in front of you, can you see it?
Then, Zero's thoughts moved slightly, and the high-level carrier pigeon quickly disappeared into the void with the written letter.
"Boss, let's have another cup of 'God's Dream'."
Zero casually placed the two gold coins on the table, picked up the wine glass again, shook the light blue wine in the glass with misty eyes, and drank it all in one gulp.
To be honest, he likes this world more and more.
Although it is only a virtual world, it is extremely real—
However, Zero, who was in a happy mood, didn't think of anything.
Someone's surveillance spell came from him, and he can indeed see the game panel.
