Phoenix Grand Lord
Chapter 177 The Imperial Capital’s Aristocratic Circle
When Baron Edmund saw the secret seal on the letter, he immediately stepped back and waited until no one was around before opening it.
This is a secret letter written by the spy he placed next to Viscount Mirandon.
After reading the secret letter, Baron Edmund was dumbfounded.
In the letter, the spy recounted that Maruni was beheaded by Rowe and, under the instigation of Viscount Mirandon, identified Maruni as the Oracle Nathanos.
Every word in the letter made Baron Edmund sweat!
Conspiracy is never as simple as a sword-fight.
Every move kills without showing blood.
He was obviously wronged, but no one really cared about the truth!
Fortunately, there was a spy who reported the news, otherwise it would have been irreversible once the Red Fei Bishop was confirmed!
Baron Edmund calmly burned the secret message, watched it turn into ashes, and then threw away the ashes.
"Come here! Get me the best horse!"
"Tell the second brother to bring a hundred fast riders and follow me to the Red Jade Church!
"Also————·Bring 5,000 gold coins!"
"Yes!" The servants immediately took action.
Although Edmund's second son didn't know what was going on, he immediately gathered his men and prepared to set off after hearing the order.
"Father, are you going out?"
While Baron Edmund was wearing his noble robe, a young man with a cold and arrogant expression walked in.
This man has brown hair, which is completely different from Baron Edmund's blond hair.
She is tall and thin, and has pretty features.
The most special thing is that he is wearing a blue magic cloak, and the magic runes on the cloak flicker like breathing.
He had just returned, the youngest son of Baron Edmund, the imperial magic genius, Pace...
Ross.
When Baron Edmund saw Pace, his frown immediately relaxed, "Ah, Pace,
You are tired from the journey and should have a good rest. I'm leaving for a few days to do something important. "
Pace didn't mean to give up, but said with a cold face: "I just heard from my father that he wanted to take away 5,000 gold coins?"
Baron Edmund said: "Yes, this matter is very important to our entire family. I hope that these 5,000
Gold coins can come in handy. "
Pace said: "Since my father is in a hurry, let me keep the story short. I also want 5,000 gold coins.
Baron Edmund was stunned, "You, what do you want so many gold coins for?"
Pace was a little impatient when asked, "You don't understand anything about magic. My classmates at the Imperial Academy of Magic, let alone ask for 5,000 gold coins from their families, even ask for 50,000 gold coins from their families. I won’t ask any more questions.”
Baron Edmund quickly apologized to his son, "I'm sorry Pace, I just---wanted to care about you." Pace said lightly: "I am not a playboy, I am of great use." In short, if this matter comes to pass, it will be of great benefit to our family, and it can even bring us into the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital. "
Baron Edmund's eyes lit up, "With 5,000 gold coins, can you join the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital?"
Pace smiled scornfully, "Yes, he will definitely not be able to give someone 5,000 gold coins, but don't forget who I am."
Baron Edmund immediately said: "Okay! I will ask the bachelor to get you money immediately! Son, you are my father's hope."
Pace was not moved by his father's love at all, and still said coldly: "In addition, I am ready to go to my manor to take up my post, so before you leave, you have to give me the materials and personnel of the Watch Farm. All ready.”
Baron Edmund said: "Of course! I have prepared all the materials! Enough food for you for a whole year, 300 serf soldiers, 100 lord regular troops, infrastructure materials, etc., I have prepared them for you. ”
Peisran smiled and said, "Why do we need so many regular troops? I can destroy Merrill Valley Manor with just a raise of my hand. On the other hand, I heard that Luo Wei built two defensive arrow towers, so father, you have to give me Prepare two catapults for use.”
Baron Edmund said: "No problem!"
Baron Edmund was really not worried about using a strategic weapon like a catapult for others, but for his own son, Baron Edmund certainly had nothing to worry about.
Pace said calmly: "I will set off to the Watch Farm on a certain day to take up my post. Maybe when father comes back from finishing his work, the head of the boy Rowena will already be on your chopping board, father."
"Hahaha!" Baron Edmund happily patted Pace on the shoulder, "I am so proud to have such a good son like you! Unfortunately - you are my third son and theoretically cannot succeed me. of baronetcy.”
However, Pace twisted his lips and said, "I really don't pay attention to a small baronetship. I have a more ambitious goal."
Baron Edmund couldn't help but ask: "Do you have any plans?"
But Pace said sternly: "We haven't figured out the matter yet. I'll tell you when there are clues.
In short, I have a plan, and this plan---is beautiful. "
Baron Edmund said excitedly: "Great, son! I'm waiting for your good news! If 5,000 gold coins are enough, I'll give you another 1,000!"
Pace said calmly: "That is of course the best."
In the afternoon of the same day, Baron Edmund, who had taken care of the housework, went to the Red Jade Church carrying 5,000 gold coins.
It is meaningless to just cry out for injustice in this matter of being wronged. Bishop Red Fei must be fed.
However, as an authoritative clergyman, Bishop Red Fei is naturally devoted to the Holy Light and it is impossible for him to accept bribes.
Therefore, Baron Edmund must first find a friend of Bishop Red Fei and give all the money to this friend, asking this friend to speak well of him.
In name, the money is given to the middleman friend.
But in fact, who knows that the money will eventually fall into the pocket of Bishop Red Fei.
This matter was entangled for three days before it was finally concluded.
In the end, Bishop Red Fei "fairly" ruled that Maruni was indeed the Oracle Nathanos, but Baron Edmund was also his victim.
Therefore, Baron Edmund was not implicated at this time, but was only verbally warned by the church.
Although Brother Fels did not get the coveted position of abbot of the monastery, he was promoted because of this incident.
Now, Brother Fels not only manages the church affairs of the two territories of Broken Star Valley and Marigold, but also manages the church affairs of Purple Forest Territory and Sunset Mountain.
As for the office location, it is still the chapel in Broken Star Valley.
In other words, Brother Fels' jurisdiction is larger on the surface, but in fact, his responsibilities are greater. The entire territory of Sunset Mountain is now in the hands of the Curse believers. When Sunset Mountain can be recovered, Brother Fels will have a chance to make a breakthrough.
Brother Fels felt that he could not be promoted to the abbot of the monastery because Baron Edmund must have interfered.
Moreover, Brother Fels concluded that Baron Edmund used bribery, which was an act of polluting the Holy Light!
Brother Fels' hatred for Baron Edmund was settled.
The most unlucky person in the whole incident was Knight Maruni.
From the moment Knight Maruni stepped into the brothel, he had not been able to exert his strength. He was still being blamed for his death, and he could not even leave a pension for his wife and children.
But no one will pity him.
The wheel of history will never stop crushing the little people because of their tragedy.
