Banner of the Evil God

A rather surprising thing happened recently in Stormwind County, Thunder Principality.

Baron Keen, who was seriously ill and almost died, suddenly recovered and then made large-scale checks and adjustments to his men. A large number of subordinates who originally occupied key positions were transferred to idle positions that lacked real power. Many of them were found to have committed various crimes and were punished.

The most surprising thing among them is that his chef, who is quite famous throughout Stormwind County, was actually found to have poisoned Baron Keen's food!

Such a crime is of course unforgivable, and according to the law, it may even affect family members. But Baron Keane said that the chef had worked for the Keane family over the years, and had worked hard without credit. Even if he made a mistake, it would be enough to pay for it with his life. His family had nothing to do with this matter, and he was specially pardoned. family.

How could Baron Keen recover suddenly? How can you find out the traitor in the family? Why he is so kind is what puzzles everyone the most.

"Crick Keen is a scholar after all." In the secret room of the Church of the Noble God, the chief priest of Stormwind County sneered, "You can't achieve great things if you are soft-hearted and soft-hearted!"

"After all, he is a believer in the Song of Yuan Yuan. The doctrine of Yuan Yuan Song is inherently weak, and the church organization is also very weak. In the final analysis, it is because they lack the spirit of killing and decisiveness!" The chief priest responsible for handling some shady affairs said. It was full of disdain and ridicule, "No matter gods or humans, they all eat grass. Even if they are forced to the end, they can only kick their legs or use their horns. How can such a thing have the courage to kill on a large scale!"

The chief priest nodded slightly and arranged the new work.

A mere baron is not worth spending too much energy on. Since this kid is so popular now, let's wait for the time being and deal with him after he is done with the limelight.

Anyway... no matter how many tricks he can play, it can't change the fact that he is just a baron. How much human and financial resources can a mere baron have? How much influence can it have in the upper class of society?

Behind the Church of the God of Nobles is a large group of nobles!

Creek - or Sui Xiong - didn't know this. His "system" was not powerful enough that once someone plotted against him, a prompt such as "Mission: Fight against Assassination" would immediately pop up. All his energy now is focused on internal purges.

You won’t know if you don’t check, but you’ll be shocked if you check! When he checked his subordinates against their loyalty, he was shocked. Various questions made James Knight, who was loyal to him, furious. If he hadn't stopped him, he would have drawn his sword to kill people on the spot.

Crick himself was also shocked. Although he was somewhat mentally prepared, he never expected that the problem would be so serious! In fact, many of the powers of Baron Keen have been emptied out. The middle- and lower-level officials loyal to him have either been squeezed into useless positions or directly killed. Just the murder cases that can be confirmed are investigated. Out of five or six cases!

"These guys are simply crazy! They don't take human life seriously!" After looking at the case files for a while, he angrily threw the files that recorded various crimes on the table, breathing heavily. Picking up the wheat tea prepared beside him, Gululu drank half a cup of cold water, but still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

He only started drinking barley tea after he "wake up". He really couldn't get used to the kind of tea that nobles often drank - grinding tea leaves and spices and boiling them, and finally sprinkling some into the filtered tea soup. Spice powder, this is really beyond the acceptable range of a Chinese tongue. So he would rather drink the fried wheat tea that has been introduced from the Northwest Void Mask Playground in recent years. At least this thing tastes cleaner.

Because it was discovered that "Traveler Sui Xiong MK5" had suspected various things about the Mask of the Void Playground before, Sui Xiong specially made changes in the memory of Crick Keen or "Traveler Sui Xiong MK6", so that He ignored all the Earth-style things he brought with him to avoid accidents. But he did not modify Crick's aesthetics, so Crick's eating habits and life style were undergoing subtle changes.

In general, some gradually became less gregarious among the nobles and became closer to the people of the middle and lower classes.

There is no way, Sui Xiong himself is a small person!

So he really couldn't understand the thinking of the upper class - those nobles who had a good relationship with "Crick Keen" before, after learning about the current situation of the Keen family, the suggestions they gave were simply incomprehensible!

A friend's suggestion was: "Sell your property, live directly at Mask of the Void amusement park, and settle down there for the rest of your life. If you have money and you know so much about art, you can go and write some operas there." What’s more, and your church’s temple is also there, so there is some kind of care.”

This suggestion was too cowardly, and Crick didn't like it. But no matter what, it is still a slightly more reliable suggestion, and at least it can still be implemented.

In contrast, the suggestions from several other friends simply made him wonder whether the brains of these guys were brains or tofu!

Those people can be summed up in one word: kill.

Kill all the disloyal people, kill them all, hang them all, and hang their corpses on the roadside to deter those with evil intentions - they all say so.

Hey...there are hundreds of people here! By killing so many people in one breath, wouldn't he become a big devil?

And... if he wants to kill so many people, where can he find the executioner? He won't be regarded as a madman directly!

But the nobles don't think so. They all said that the nobles are sacred and inviolable. Any behavior that dares to hurt the nobles should be severely punished, and there must be no leniency!

At that time, Creek said with a smile that he would consider their suggestions carefully after returning home, and told Butler Leighton after returning home to be more careful of those guys in the future.

"Aren't the opinions of those gentlemen quite reasonable?" Butler Leighton asked doubtfully.

"But they are brainless." Creek sighed, "You know, pig teammates are more terrible than god opponents! If the force that can silently infiltrate our Keane family like a sieve is a god-like opponent, then these few are pig teammates. Leighton, idiocy is also contagious!"

Butler Leighton nodded repeatedly, seeming to understand.

The next day, while eating, he asked curiously, "Sir, is idiocy really contagious?"

Crick pondered for a long time, trying to find an explanation, but when he saw Leighton's character attributes, he sighed deeply and gave up the idea.

[Leighton, Strength 10, Constitution 12, Agility 10, Perception 12, Intelligence 9, Charm 10, Reputation 120, Occupation: Butler Level 5, Priest Level 1, Loyalty 100]

No need to be contagious, this butler is a bit stupid!

"That's just a joke." He brushed aside the "idiocy is contagious" thing, and looked at the Knight Commander James who insisted on standing by and refused to eat with the master.

[James, Strength 14, Constitution 14, Agility 12, Perception 10, Intelligence 9, Charm 10, Reputation 200. Occupation: Warrior Level 3, Knight Level 4, Lord Level 1, Loyalty 100]

He has two generals, one civil and one military, and they are all a bit stupid...

"Alas!" He sighed deeply and said, "Let's talk about the suggestion of Spencer."

Spencer Smith, deputy leader of the Knights of the Thunder Principality Knights' God Church Knights, presided over the work of Storm County. This young knight is a brilliant rising star. He even entered the semi-finals of the world's first tournament in the Void Mask Amusement Park and won a game in the top 16. It was just that he met "God Bow" Levi Spring in the winner's group and "Thunder Axe" Su Cheer Magnus in the loser's group, so he stopped at the quarterfinals and could not go further.

Compared with his subordinates, Creek felt that the advice of this young master must be more reliable.

If nothing else, his intelligence is higher than that of his subordinates!

[Spencer Smith, Strength 20, Constitution 18, Agility 16, Perception 14, Intelligence 14, Charisma 18, Reputation 650. Occupation: Warrior Level 3, Knight Level 8, Paladin Level 8, Friendship 80]

Look at those gorgeous attributes! Look at that dazzling reputation! Look at that admirable total level!

What is a winner in life? This is it!

Creek believed that if a fight really broke out, it was estimated that the other person alone could wipe out the entire knight group of his baron, and maybe even eat some melon seeds or something.

So he thought that Spencer's suggestion could still be kept as a backup.

If it really doesn't work, the whole family will pack up and run away...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply again.

The current situation is really too serious!

Perhaps because they thought he had no ability to turn the tables, or they were simply fearless, those guys who calculated him did not carefully conceal the news. After a brief investigation, he found out the mastermind behind the group of traitors.

The Church of the God of Nobles.

This answer did not surprise him, but it made him a little frustrated.

The opponent is too strong, and it is too difficult to take revenge!

The Church of the God of Nobles has been developing faster and faster in recent years, and its influence has become larger and larger. They have received the support of the great nobles represented by the king. Although they mainly try to win over nobles at the level of viscounts and barons, they will try to eliminate them if they cannot win over. In recent years, many nobles in the Thunder Principality who resolutely refused to cooperate with them have died suddenly.

Before, Creek Keane was a firm believer in the God of Literature and Art. The Church of the God of Literature and Art was an important target of exclusion and attack by the Church of the God of Nobles, so the young baron was naturally included in the attack list and lost his life in vain.

After finishing his meal, Creek took the case file and sat in the study to think.

After thinking for a long time, he sighed deeply: "Crick Keane, it is difficult to help you get revenge and solve the difficulties faced by the Keane family..."
