Duke of Grief

"I need money! You need money too! Don't you?"

The nobles sitting around the round table were silent, because it was Elba Kandel, one of the most distinguished people in the country.

He is distinguished not because of the family behind him, but because of his own strength.

Before he spoke, others did not dare to speak rashly. When he spoke, others did not dare to intervene at will. After he spoke, everyone did not dare to express any opinion on this matter.

"This is a great opportunity!"

Elba clenched his fists, his face was serious, and his eyes were awe-inspiring, "When this elf and the empire have laid down their hatred, and the alliance has just begun, any outrageous behavior may lead to the collapse of the covenant. It was strongly promoted, and received the permission of His Majesty in advance, the Chief and His Majesty will vigorously maintain the covenant. I need a lot of money to develop the magic furnace, and you too! We can’t get more money from the mud kind, but The little nobles whose family power is not big, but they are quite rich are different. They have what we desperately need, and we don’t need to do anything, just report them to the elves!”

The nobles here looked at each other, and the noble families who were able to participate in this plot were not small. Therefore, they were able to reach the level of Elba Kandel.

As the third seat said, ‘They need money’!

Nothing in the world can fill their appetite. They need money, they need more money, no matter how much they have, they always crave more.

But at this time, they are not able to express their opinions, even if they have been'somewhat emotional', but that is for the human beings who are also aristocrats. For the money at this critical juncture, they turned their spearheads behind them— They cannot do this!

Seeing the struggling colors on their faces, Elba released her fists, leaned back, and asked in a cold voice: "What are you still hesitating? Is this different from what we usually do? Of course, I I also admit that there are indeed differences, but how about that?"

The icy words seemed to be mixed with a wonderful magic power, constantly agitating everyone's emotions, causing them to fall into a deeper struggle.

But Elba did nothing, the magic jewelry worn by the nobles was not triggered, and it was their own desires that bewitched their hearts-because they wanted to do it themselves!

The eyes of the scrutiny crossed the dark and vicious faces, Elba's mouth twitched slightly, and a cold and ruthless smile bloomed on his face.

"What else can you not do to frame your own heirs by framing others, wronging businessmen for money and charging heavy taxes from civilians? What are you still hesitating?"

When the **** reality wrapped in'elegance' and'etiquette' was exposed by Elba, someone immediately became angry and angry, and even a nobleman clapped the table and angered and said: "His Excellency Elba Kandel, You are slandering!"

However, after the cold and ruthless sight fell on himself, the anger in the noble's heart was instantly extinguished, the original straight body was also slightly bent, and his mouth twitched a few times, because the fear failed to say a word.

Elba looked at the noble coldly for a while, until everyone else was guessing what kind of violent storms the noble would usher in next time, but the third seat of the court mage regained his sight. , Said stiffly: "Yes, I take back the rude statement just now, so, what do you think about this? I just want to know, are you doing it or not?"

Many nobles had just breathed a sigh of relief, and when they heard this sentence, they couldn't help holding their breath.

If you are now facing the great noble of the empire, Elba will not say these words.

The people in front of them were all carefully selected and still able to stay on that list. Elba knew that they must be moved, but the unique hypocrisy of the nobles prevented them from expressing their intentions by themselves— -Even if their desires have been clearly written on their faces.

"If you don't want to do it, you can go out through the door behind me. I won't embarrass you, but you can't tell anyone about this matter-remember, it's'Anyone'!"

The room was dark and there was no lighting except for a candle in the center of the round table.

In the shadow, Elba's mouth outlined a ruthless arc, "Choose, you guys!"

His eyes were hovering around the nobles, but he didn't find any one who had the intention to get up. They all sat firmly on the chairs one by one, and didn't move after hearing his ultimatum.

There was constant laughter in my heart, but there was no change on the surface. Elba took a deep breath. "So, let's discuss the plan afterwards. We must make sure that the plan is foolproof. Otherwise, even I may be punished. Not to mention you!"

…………

"Sure enough, Elba is better at doing this kind of thing." The second seat of the court mage couldn't help but chuckled.

Hearing his relaxed laughter, Ruerno raised his eyes and two turbid eyes rolled in his eyes before focusing on the crystal ball.

A crystal ball the size of a human head is placed on a violet velvet underlay, the inside of the underfill is filled with soft goose down, the weight of the crystal ball presses the velvet underlay into a depression, and there is a silver support under the underlay Frame, holding up the crystal ball.

The crystal ball that was supposed to be transparent is now dark inside. Only a ray of flame in the center keeps beating, maintaining the light in the crystal ball.

Through the crystal ball, Charlemagne and Rurno could see the plotting scene in that room.

After receiving the exact answer from Elba, the plan has already begun, because Rurno’s body seems to be far weaker than he thought, and now his life is already a candle in the wind, or wait until a few years later Aging to death, or exhausted after a battle of burning life.

He didn't have much time. He didn't want the Empire to look like this decadent before he stepped into death.

After laughing, Charlemagne asked the old man next to him again, "Chief, do you think we are really right to do this?"

He was not confused. He had never been confused since he learned the whole plan, but he didn’t know whether the chief wanted to rejuvenate the empire or just let the nobles die with this rotten empire— -If according to the current situation, the nobles will die, they will be entangled with each other because of mutual suspicion, and finally fight each other.

But in the process of their mutual solicitation, this empire will become fragmented, that is the time of'rebirth' and the trap of'destruction'~www.NovelMTL.com~Charlemagne wants to get from Rurno An answer.

"...Every legend has an obsession in their hearts. For that obsession, they are willing to give up everything and even their lives."

The old mage named ‘Rurno Luces’ pointed at his heart and said in a hoarse voice: “And in my heart, there is a powerful and prosperous magic empire with unparalleled vitality!”

"……is it?"

Charlemagne breathed out, and his mouth slightly curled.

From the time when he went alone to form an alliance with the elves, Rurno Luces had already started his own plan. Whether Charlemagne and Elba joined the plan, he would carry on the plan because he was very Clearly, neither of them will stop him.

The new empire is more valuable to them, and if they want to hinder the chief, they are slowing down their path to truth.

Why bother?
