The Earth Supplier of the Wizarding World
Chapter 376 Another rainy season
The world process is advancing rapidly under the seemingly calm surface.
Both Lei Meng and Yun Meng are accumulating their own strength for the final decisive battle.
The wild orcs were recruiting troops frantically, preparing for a desperate fight; the rebellion of the Griffin Heart Empire finally stopped sweeping the entire territory after the direct intervention of the Cloud Tower.
After the Silvermane Kingdom completed its purge of the nobility, it almost uprooted this ancient class. Only a few nobles survived by chance, but their withdrawal from the political stage was inevitable.
Even Count Theodore of New Tower City, an enclave of the Kingdom, took the initiative to hand over the ownership of New Tower City to the Kingdom after the incident, and only retained the old collar as the family's private land.
To be honest, Count Theodore really didn't expect that Yan Xing and Carol could do things so well.
They almost killed all the nobles in the kingdom.
He also threw all the honors owned by the nobles into the muddy water and stepped on them repeatedly.
In just a few days, countless families that have been passed down for centuries disappeared into thin air.
The nobles who were lucky enough to survive spent every day in fear. They were so frightened that they hid when they heard the sound of military vehicles.
Count Theodore, who likes to hold banquets, found that there were not many people left on his previous banquet list.
Every noble family in New Tower City held funerals. And because the servants fled, the family property was confiscated, and even a decent funeral could not be held.
All Count Theodore could do was send someone to give them a little help.
Then I thought alone in the study.
If a noble loses his status and honor, what's the point of what he has worked for his whole life?
Why did Yan Xing want to kill all the nobles?
Is your choice right?
Still wrong?
The annual rainy season has entered again in the windy highlands.
Heavy rain washed away the glass of the windows.
A servant pushed open the door of the study and said to Count Theodore: Master, Lord Anderson is here.
he came? What is he doing here?
Count Theodore was surprised by this unexpected visitor.
He thought about Anderson's purpose for a moment, and then said to the servant: Bring him here, don't let others see it.
Yes, my master.
After a while, Anderson, wearing a smock and a hood to hide his appearance, opened the door and walked in.
He took off his smock, which had been soaked by the rain, and stood at the door looking at Theodore.
The two of them just looked at each other, as if they didn't know what to say in the first sentence.
New Tower City is very deserted. Anderson said first. He walked to the desk and sat down, skillfully holding a plastic bucket and pouring himself a glass of red wine, then drank it all. Ever since I went to Gaoshan City, I have never drunk such good wine. The wine brewed by orcs always has a fishy smell.
Theodore said: The city is like this in the rainy season. Everyone is in the house. If there is nothing important, they will never come out.
Anderson knew that what Theodore meant was his sudden visit.
I know what happened in Danling City, or what happened in the entire Silvermane Kingdom. The nobles, a class that has made sacrifices for the country for generations, were lured into Danling City by Yan Xing and Carol, and then all of them were killed. .
Now do you know who Yan Xing is?
He wiped out all the honor of the nobility and made us a pariah. Do you think the Theodore family has a future in this environment? You are not dead just because you are still useful to him.
There's no point in waiting for you.
Do you think your family can avoid the guillotine?
Theodore didn't know how to answer Anderson's words.
Everything he did was based on family interests.
He put down a bargaining chip in both Lei Meng and Yun Meng. He believed that no matter who won, the Theodore family would be the winner.
But now Yunmeng has shown an obvious defeat, and Yan Xing suddenly waved his butcher knife at the nobles.
If nobility no longer exists, what's the point of everything you do?
Even if he can gain power and wealth in the next one or two generations by virtue of his relationship with Yan Xing.
Where next?
Now that the nobility is gone, how long can the Theodore family survive?
what do you want to do?
Assassinate Yanxing! Seeing Count Theodore's tone softening, Anderson immediately told his purpose: He is the core of the entire Thunder League. If he dies, the Eternal Territory will inevitably fall into chaos. That woman Carol has no Eternal Territory. The support cannot suppress the situation in Silvermane Kingdom at all.
We can restore the glory of the nobility and let the family's honor continue to be passed down from generation to generation.
Assassinate Yan Xing?
Theodore shook his head and said: Impossible... Now he attaches great importance to his own safety and almost never leaves the Eternal Territory.
If you want Siebel to do something. Not only will she not agree, I will not agree either.
Seeing Count Theodore's attitude, Anderson quickly said: No, there is no need for Sibel to take action, and she is not suitable to take action. If Yan Xing dies, Sibel is a strong contender for the dominance of the Eternal Territory.
I have trained a group of mages for the Yunzhong Tower. As long as we are at the right place and the right time, it is enough to kill Yanxing.
Count Theodore asked: Since you are sure to assassinate Yan Xing, why did you take such a big risk to come to me?
You just said that Yan Xing will almost never leave the Eternal Territory...unless there is something that forces him to leave.
I am very familiar with your city lord's palace, where the tower mages can hide. When Yan Xing arrives, he can be surrounded and killed.
With his death, our family and future generations will have a future.
Theodore asked: You want me to invite Yan Xing to my place?
Anderson said: No matter what method you use...as long as he comes, he will definitely die!
Anderson plans to copy the tactics Yan Xing used against him in Storm City, using elite tower mages to complete the beheading of the leader of the Thunder League.
The personnel have been found and the tactics have been practiced impeccably.
The only difficulty is that there is no chance to make a move in the Eternal Territory.
Yan Xing must be lured to the place where Yong gets the unexpected surprise.
It's best to go to New Tower City or Storm City.
I am very familiar with these two cities, so I can arrange for people to sneak into hiding.
So Anderson ventured to find Theodore.
He knew how much Theodore valued the family legacy. He can betray himself for the sake of his family, and he will betray Yan Xing for the sake of his family.
Anderson looked forward to Theodore's reply.
Theodore has been thinking about the pros and cons of his decision.
Finally, he said to Anderson: Okay, I promise you. For the future of the Theodore family, Yan Xing has no choice but to die.
I will arrange for Yan Xing to come to New Tower City, and I will only arrange for Yan Xing to come to New Tower City. The rest is yours, I have no part in it, and I won't.
After receiving a positive answer, Anderson couldn't hold back his excitement and stood up.
Facing Yan Xing, he was defeated again and again, but this time he was finally able to turn defeat into victory after all the humiliation.
History will remember this moment.
Anderson becomes a hero who saves the world.
Yan Xing... Killing the nobles in Danling City was the biggest mistake you made!
As long as Yan Xing comes to New Tower City, leave the rest to me.
Anderson saluted Earl Theodore, then put on his smock and hood, and left under the guidance of the servants outside the door.
Count Theodore looked out the window at the heavy rain.
…
Count Theodore is dead.
When the servants found him, he was not breathing. There was no trauma, no poisoning, and he died a healthy life.
He was 78 years old.
After the news spread throughout Newta City, all NewTC citizens prayed for their old city lord.
Count Theodore is a rare nobleman who is fair and upright.
He personally established the city of Newta on this originally barren land, and gradually developed the city into an important city in the Windy Highlands.
The residents of New Tower City are more prosperous than other places, which is all the result of Count Theodore.
The death of the old city lord made the whole city fall into sadness.
After receiving the news, Sibel and Atli rushed back to New Tower City from the Eternal Territory.
In grief, the two of them prepared for the old count's funeral together.
Yan Xing also urgently changed his work schedule and prepared to go to New Tower City to attend the funeral of Count Theodore.
Yan Xing has special feelings for Theodore.
He is his own mentor.
Not just a mentor in magic, but a mentor in all aspects.
And when he needed support the most, Theodore stood firmly by his side.
It can be said that the Eternal Territory can grow to such a large scale and relies heavily on New Tower City under the rule of Count Theodore as the southern barrier of the territory.
As a disciple and a lifelong friend, Yan Xing must see Theodore off for the last time.
Yan Xing's special plane took off from Yonghengling Airport and flew to New Tower City.
At this time, Sibel was sitting in the old count's study, lost in memories of the past.
Butler Atlee knocked on the door and walked in.
Miss, the master's funeral has been prepared. But...many of the nobles in the city are gone, so the funeral may be a little deserted.
The master loved liveliness the most during his lifetime.
Sibel wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: For the funeral, it is better to be quiet, there is no need to show off to outsiders.
It's just a pity that Anderson and sister can't come.
Atli walked to Sibel's side and placed the ring he had been holding in front of Sibel: This ring of the patriarch of the Theodore family was given to me by the owner. He said...if he dies, I will give you the ring, and you will take over his title and territory.
Sibel took the ring and asked Atli doubtfully: When did my father give you this ring?
It's been almost two years. When the master chose to support Mr. Yan Xing, he quietly handed this ring to me. I thought the master was afraid that Anderson would harm him. But then the master and Anderson met several times and everything was fine. Anyway, the ring has always been here for me.
Now that the master has passed away, according to the master's instructions, young lady, you are Earl Theodore.
Father never asked for the ring back?
No... I tried to return the ring to the owner several times, but the owner refused.
Why does father keep putting the ring at your place?
It must be that the master sees my loyalty.
I'm not asking you... but asking myself. Sibel continued to ponder while holding the ring.
This ring, which represents the honor of Theodore's family, was given to Atlee by his father for safekeeping because he realized that he might be in danger.
At that time, he chose Yanxing between Anderson and Yanxing, which was very likely to make the angry Anderson commit the assassination.
But in the end Anderson didn't do it.
But if it was safe, why didn't the father take the ring back?
Worried about Anderson's fight for inheritance?
Anderson is trapped in Alpine City and can't even come to New Tower City. How can we fight?
If my father doesn't take back the ring, does that mean he thinks the danger has not passed yet?
Who did you see when your father passed away?
Atlee said: The person who served the master at that time was Billy. He said that the master was reading here after dinner, and no one came to disturb him. He entered the room at 9 o'clock in the evening and called the master to rest, only to find that the master had passed away.
Miss, don't think too much.
The owner is old and has been in poor health. Since the last rebellion in New Tower City, his health has gotten worse, but he didn't let others see him being tortured by the disease.
The doctor has examined the owner’s body and it was not an accident or... homicide...
Call Billy here, I'm going to ask him some more questions.
Yes, miss.
Sibel continued to look at the ring.
After a while, a servant was brought in by Atli, the butler.
Billy, Miss is now the current head of the Theodore family, Earl, and our new master. You must answer truthfully the questions that Miss asks you.
Yes, yes, miss...
Billy was visibly nervous, which only heightened Sibel's doubts.
Let me ask you... did anything special happen before my father passed away?
No, no. Billy was trembling all over.
Sibel asked sharply again: Did anything special happen? Billy, I want to hear the truth!
Atlee also noticed something strange about Billy at this time. He pulled out a sword from the armor standing on the side of the study room and put the blade on Billy's neck: Answer the lady's question truthfully!
Billy said in panic: I...I...the master won't let me say it. No one is allowed to say it, including...including the lady.
Sibel slammed the table angrily and said: Now I am the master of the Theodore family, and I order you to tell me. What happened that night...
Billy was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he repeated: The master doesn't let me say it, the master doesn't let me say it.
Atlee put away his sword, grabbed Billy's shoulders and said to him: Billy, I know you are loyal, so I will arrange for you to serve the master when I leave.
But loyalty is not this kind of loyalty!
If the master really doesn't let you speak, he will really shut you up and never open your mouth again.
The master won't let you say it because he is testing you to see if you know that your true allegiance is to this family and your new master.
You have completed the task assigned to you by your old master. He will be very satisfied with your current performance. It is time to tell the new master the truth.
Billy, don't betray the trust your old master has placed in you.
speak out.
What happened that night?
Nervous Billy couldn't think of the logic in Atlee's words.
He finally told Anderson about secretly meeting Count Theodore.
When I sent Anderson away, the master was fine. He also told me not to tell anyone about Anderson's arrival.
Am I violating the master's wishes?
No, you haven't. You have fulfilled the responsibilities given to you by the master. Go out and have a good rest. The lady has seen your loyalty to the Theodore family. UU Reading www.uukansshu.net Atli said, shaking his head After Billy sent him out of the room, he asked Sibel: Miss, was the master killed by Anderson?
Even if he wasn't directly killed by Anderson, it still had something to do with him. But what did Anderson want to do when he secretly met his father?
Moreover, the City Lord's Mansion was so tightly guarded that he was able to come to his father's study without alerting anyone.
At this time, the sound of a convoy driving was heard outside the window.
It's Yanxing who has arrived.
not good!
Sibel exploded with speed in an instant, smashed open the window and rushed outside.
The rain is still falling.
In the air, Judgment Super Arms covered Sibel, and she flew towards the direction of the convoy.
And shouted into the onboard communication channel: Someone wants to assassinate Yan Xing!
