Douluo: Starting from the Spirit of Time Worm

In the City Lord's Mansion, Goran sat on a chair, waiting for Kubero's arrival.

He frowned, with a little nervousness in his expression.

"Count Ross, I heard that you have come to me several times. Is there anything important?" Kubero walked into the meeting room and said in a stiff tone.

Seeing Kubero, Goran's pupils shrank for a while. He finally confirmed his guess and whispered:

"My wife's cousin, Bishop Platinum of Saras, has been to the Northland City."

His martial soul is "ghost bug", which is very sensitive to the breath of life. He can feel that the Kubero in front of him has no vitality of a living person!

Kubero fell silent and looked at Goran with cold eyes.

He suddenly smiled, "It seems that you have discovered it."

"Then come in and talk."

The second voice did not come from Kubero's mouth, but from the room further back. This voice was calm but old, not like the voice of a middle-aged man like Kubero.

Kubero's entire body suddenly collapsed, turning into countless threads and pulling away to the back.

Goran walked in from a door on the side and saw an old man in a black robe.

Walter! One of the four platinum bishops of the Spirit Hall!

At this moment, he was sitting on the chair that should have been sat by the Lord of the Northland City, holding a teacup in his hand.

"How did you find out?" Walter asked.

Goran bowed slightly and replied:

"I spend more time in the Northland City, and it is easier for me to detect some hidden things than others.

"Just like Mr. Walter, I knew about your being in the Northland City a year and a half ago... Then I paid more attention to the City Lord's Mansion and the Spirit Hall.

"The city lord is a soul master who is keen on cultivation. He rarely shows up... and doesn't participate in social activities much. This is understandable in itself, but it seems a bit unusual when you, Mr. Walter, are here.

"In later observations, I found that the time period when the city lord was in seclusion and did not see people generally overlaps with the time period when you, Mr. Walter, left Beidi City...

"The characteristics of your carriage are very obvious. The guards at the city gate can tell by paying a little attention.

"In addition, when Sarath left, he also gave me some hints. He asked me to take time to visit the city lord."

Walter smiled, "The last reason is the key that you can be sure of, right?"

"Yes." Goran nodded in agreement, "I don't know when you, Mr. Walter, started..."

"Two years ago, as early as two years ago, there was no city lord, and I have been handling government affairs. "

Although he had already guessed it, Walter's answer still frightened Goran.

An important official of the empire disappeared silently, and the power he possessed was secretly occupied by another person for two years. How terrible!

Goran suppressed his shock and asked:

"Mr. Walter, what is your purpose? Whether it is Lord Kubero or Marquis Fecris, their unexpected encounters will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the royal family. "

Because of Sarath's relationship, he is not worried that Walter will take action against him, and directly puts his position on the side of the Spirit Hall.

Walter smiled, "This is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant."

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Goran was slightly stunned. He thought that the relationship between the Spirit Hall and the Empire had reached the point of being at loggerheads, but he did not expect Walter to mention the Crown Prince.

Walter explained:

"Yes, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is close to the Spirit Hall, and he also believes that the relationship between the Empire and us should not be so tense.

"There are many people in the Spirit Hall who support the prince. But Feixili only recognizes Emperor Xueye and turns a blind eye to the prince's goodwill and solicitation.

"We need a northern province loyal to the prince... I have this plan, and it is also a coincidence. Some little guys let me see the opportunity."

"Little guy..." Golan suddenly thought of the team that represented the Northland Academy in the Soul Master Competition, "Alia?"

"Is Alia the person you arranged? So that's it. Once Marquis Feixili died, she also had the right of inheritance without a designated heir...

"If she can perform better in the Soul Master Competition and win the favor of Emperor Xueye, then she will get the support of the royal family.

"And Earl Tiexin... Vidal is the heir of Earl Tiexin, and she is a teammate, so Earl Tiexin will also become her ally.

"And when she inherits the title of Marquis, she should continue the previous trade agreement between Ironheart Territory and Felicis Territory, which is what Earl Ironheart is happy to see.

"In addition, Brandy also won the second place in the individual competition and will join the team as a substitute. In the next period of time, as long as Alia reaches some agreements with him, it will not be difficult to get the support of his father, Earl Lionheart."

Golan showed a look of realization. He understood Walter's plan. Once successful, an alliance consisting of Marquis Felicis, Earl Ironheart, and Earl Lionheart will be formed.

Under this alliance, the rest of the nobles in the North can only attach themselves to it. At that time, the entire North will become part of the prince's power.

"Do you need me to do anything?" Golan couldn't remain indifferent. Since he knew about the upcoming alliance, he naturally had to participate in it early and couldn't be excluded.

"Just support Alia at the right time. Whether she can inherit the title of Marquis is still a question, and Vidal's inheritance is not so stable.

"Whether they can succeed depends on whether they can achieve results in the Soul Master Competition and show amazing talents." Walter smiled faintly, looking confident.

Soul Master Competition... Golan couldn't help but think of the terrible giant who was full of oppression.

He suddenly realized that intervening in the participating teams with tough means and failing to do intelligence work in advance was the stupidest thing he had done during this period.

"Amon... Is the captain of that team also your man, Mr. Walter?" Golan asked a little nervously.

"Hehe... You did do a stupid thing, but don't worry, I have paid the price for you. That little guy is not a simple character. "

The reason why Walter confessed all this to Goran directly was because it was in his plan. Even if Goran didn't come to him, he would contact Goran at the right time.

Close to the Spirit Hall, his wife is Sarath's cousin, and Count Ross himself is one of Walter's selected allies of Alia.

Otherwise, he would not have paid for Goran's mistakes before.

They discussed some details again, and it was not until the afternoon that Count Ross got up and said goodbye.

After he walked out, Walter looked up, his eyes seemed to penetrate the bricks and tiles, and saw the figure standing above.

He said lightly: "Since the sound has been revealed, why hide your head and show your tail. "

"I just don't want to disturb your conversation with Count Ross. "

A man wearing a classical robe, a pointed soft hat, and a monocle on his right eye jumped off the roof and flipped in from a window on the side.

He put his right hand on the lens of his right eye, with a faint smile on his face.
