Mystery: Shadow of Order - Chapter 384 Celt

"Half of your land is a gift from His Majesty the King, and half is from the Negan family's land. This is already the biggest concession from the parliament and the royal family. Except for members of the royal family, there are very few cases of rewarding land."

"Fiefdom? Land?"

Even if he heard that he was related to the Maxi Kingdom again, Rawls was not so surprised, because for a person like him who was awarded a viscount, in theory, there would be no fief, but it depends on himself. Where the purchased land is, where is its own fief.

For example, the former Baron Syndras, he was the most famous banker, investor and business owner in the kingdom before he obtained the title, and was the earliest multi-millionaire, but he did not have a large amount of land, and most of the land under his name was To manor, winery, farm-based.

In order to obtain the title of baron, he donated 400,000 pounds to the Conservative Party, and donated 100,000 pounds to the Carlton Club, where the Conservative Party bigwigs gathered, and the charitable activities accumulated more than 300,000 pounds. In addition to these, he also needs to purchase the minimum 600,000 ares of land required for the baronial title, and the place where these lands are located will become his fiefs.

That is to say, now that the "Corn Act" is repealed, otherwise 600,000 ares of land will cost 300,000 pounds or more to buy instead of the current 200,000 pounds.

Rawls didn't donate money, and he didn't buy land, and he still got the title of viscount, so he even got the fief and the corresponding land. To know that the price of the Viscount is more than 1.5 million pounds, and the minimum is 800,000 ares of land.

This means that he didn't spend a penny, and while he got the title, he also owned land worth nearly 300,000 pounds, and the annual rent income exceeded 100,000 pounds.

"You deserve it." Philip had a faint smile on his lips.

"This...this is really a bit..."

This gift from Philip is indeed too precious. Although Rawls helped him temporarily solve the crisis of the Negan family, it is far less than this gift.

Even if there is no Rawls strategy and no investigation into the problems existing in Auston Leavitt, the Negan family will only be depressed for a period of time, and then they will still be the spokesperson of the conservative nobles. This is hundreds of years. Accumulated family heritage.

"This is not entirely for you, it is also about the Negan family. After so many things, we urgently need a proof that the Negan family is still the first noble under the royal family, as long as it is what we want to do. Things will definitely pass, even if it costs a certain amount.”

Under the light of the light, the sparsely-haired Agusid's gray-blue eyes that were somewhat cloudy sharpened a bit, and his tone was also quite proud and mixed with arrogance.

So this is why Duke Negan has been assassinated many times. A family that has a great deal of voice and can threaten the royal family but does not have enough extraordinary power, will acquiesce to the Augustus when they want to win over the three major churches and nobles. Come down, but as long as you have other thoughts, you will be the first to become cannon fodder.

Although he completely disagreed with the Prime Minister's idea, a viscount title and accompanying property was enough to make Rawls shut up and nodded in agreement.

"Originally, my opinion was to make you a baron. In terms of your current status in the legal profession, although it is still a little worse, it can still be recognized by the House of Commons. But Philip thinks that the viscount can only recognize your merits and prove that Nicholas The power of the root family."

The purpose of Prime Minister Aguchid's remarks is very simple, that is, to make Rawls trust Philip more and continue to contribute to the development of the Negan family.

He is very clear that his nephew is sometimes impulsive and does not care about certain things at all, and the relationship between the two is not very good. Although Rawls is younger than Philip and lacks awareness of certain levels, this can more tie him to the chariot of the Negan family.

Rawls, who understood what he meant, also looked at Philip gratefully. After seeing that he just smiled and nodded, he couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

A duke, especially a duke like Philip, has already stood at the top of the secular world, but it is a pity that there are gods in this world!

……

Above the gray fog, Klein sat high on the back of the bronze chair, looking at the remaining spirit of the "chaotic mentor" in front of him, spreading his spirituality and asked:

"Your identity?"

After Lockhard's head was shattered, his spiritual body was torn apart by dozens of ghostly spirits, and partially purified by "Holy Light". He could only answer Klein's question in a vague way:

"Lockhard Sikayam, Secretary to Duke Negan."

Duke Negan's secretary? Did he have anything to do with Duke Negan's assassination?

Klein was startled at first, and then felt a little bitter in his heart, why was he involved again.

"What did you do in the assassination of the Duke?"

"I secretly disclosed Duke Negan's itinerary and deliberately let Jason Beria go."

Is he and that "Apostle of Desire" the same organization? An organization that Mr. "Emperor" doesn't even know the name of... Klein hesitated for a while, but continued to ask:

"Who ordered you?"

"Twilight Hermit Society."

"Describe the organization in detail."

"We are the most secretive and oldest organization. Most Beyonders in the world don't know its existence. Even if they do, they don't know the name and purpose of the organization. Every member of the organization is a big man in various fields. There may be both the archbishop of the church and the generals of the military of various countries. Only those who can lead the trend of the times can become full members!

Only in this way can we interfere with the progress of history and make it meet our own needs, so as to complete the goal at a certain node. As long as the tide of the times is not what we expected, we will do our best to reverse it.

"Other than that, we just have to watch the times move forward."

Even if it's just Lockhard's remaining spirit, Klein can see the fanaticism with which he said this, and can't help but curl his lips. If that's the case, then you're probably not a full member, only Duke Negan is qualified .

"What did Duke Negan do to make you want to assassinate him?"

"His existence itself interferes with the development of the times!"

Klein was silent, Duke Negan was the biggest supporter of the Conservative Party, and his younger brother was the Prime Minister of the kingdom. His words and deeds would have a great impact, and he could completely influence the trend of the times identified by the "Twilight Hermit Society".

"MI9 found out your identity?"

"No, I couldn't name the organization, so they imprisoned me temporarily. But I was originally a member of MI9, and I was familiar with their methods and escaped."

"Why did you attack me in the carriage?"

"When I escaped, I was injured and possessed by a resentful spirit. After seeing you, the resentful spirit wanted to rush out of my body."

So it's because of Azik's copper whistle... With many examples such as Maric's inability to control a living corpse, Klein naturally understood that the Wraith was affected by the copper whistle.

"What happened before I met you for the second time?"

"I went to the safe house to use rituals to interfere with divination and prophecy. After that, someone shot me directly. He was the 'gatekeeper' and wanted to drag me directly into the underworld. If it wasn't for his own problems, I couldn't escape at all."

"Watchmen"? He was attracted by the evil spirit on him, but why did Backlund have a "gatekeeper"? It can't be someone from the Church of the Evernight... Klein's eyes lit up, he suddenly remembered that there was a wanted mysterious person beside Mr. Azik, and when he saw the spirit of the "chaos teacher" began to dissipate, he quickly asked:

"who's that person?"

Lockhard's figure quickly dissipated, and before disappearing completely, he answered the question just now:

"I didn't see what he looked like..."

……

In the alley in the south area of ​​the bridge, Lockhard's body was lying on the ground. Although his head had been turned into pieces, it was not difficult to identify.

"The surrounding spirits are either expelled or purified. There is still interference in Lockhard, and it is difficult to tell who killed him."

Ms. Daly, who was squatting beside the corpse, stood up and rubbed the blood on Lockhard's coat with a mocking tone.

"Well, it happened about an hour ago. As for the person who killed him, judging from the body, it is not the same person as the person at 71 Cameron Street, but the possibility of an accomplice cannot be ruled out, the other party may be Extraordinary items with the 'Singer' pathway or the Beyonders of this pathway."

"Intis?" Leonard subconsciously guessed an answer.

Daly Simone rolled his eyes at him and said nothing.

Ikanser, who was beside him, shook his head and denied:

"Impossible, they don't have to do this."

The Steam Church preached in Intis and Loen at the same time. If there was friction between the two countries, they were often the ones who came forward to mediate.

"It's more like the two sides accidentally collided, and Lockhard encountered the 'gatekeeper'. Judging from the situation at 71 Cameron Street, even if he can be repelled, he may not be much better. Sequence 6, As long as Sequence 7 has some kind of powerful means, he can easily kill him."

The powerful means in Deacon Ikanser's mouth is naturally a sealed artifact of the "Singer" pathway. He looked at the Beyonder characteristics that appeared on Lockhard's head and frowned:

"But there is a doubt, that is, why didn't he take away the characteristics of his precipitation?"

"Ordinary Beyonders don't necessarily know about Beyonder characteristics, and it's normal not to take them away."

As the deacon of the "Punisher", Roy Welling didn't know this knowledge until after Sequence 7. He glanced around, and the MI9 director Selt went away after seeing the body, while the other MI9 members were clearly still confused about the future.

Bellotto 9 is going to disappear!

"What about his body?"

The person in charge of MI9 is ​​not here, and the Church of Evernight and the Church of Steam have little to do with this matter. It seems that only the Church of Storms can temporarily accept it.

"Wait for what the little duke of the Negan family means, Sir Selt is probably going to see him."

……

"Jason Beria is dead, and Lockhard is dead too. Is this the answer MI9 gave to the Negan family?"

In the living room, Agusid's tall and thin body trembled a little, not because of fear, but because of anger!

Rawls stood aside, looking at the black-haired and golden-eyed man opposite, dressed in a formal tuxedo, exuding a mature and refined temperament. A frequent visitor to banquets.

Rarely, Philip didn't get angry, and just walked into the study without saying a word, without any intention of taking the demigod in his eyes, even though there was a reason for Rawls to remind him in advance.

As the duke of the kingdom and the helm of the Negan family, he cannot conflict with MI9, and as the prime minister of the kingdom, it is much more reasonable for Agusid to question the director of MI9.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Prime Minister, MI9 will definitely investigate this matter to the end!" Selt was very calm, even if he could kill Agusid with a wave of his hand.

"Then I'm sorry too. I can't trust you. I think it is necessary for the parliament to hold a discussion on the problems of MI9."

Although MI9 was directly responsible to the king, it had to back down in the face of the united nobles. Once the parliament really discusses this issue, then Seiert may have to resign directly.

"Beloto 9 will be abandoned and the members and groups involved will be reviewed and restructured."

"Hmph, shouldn't that be right?" Agusid stared at Selt.

"What is the opinion of Mr. Prime Minister?"

"I have no right to interrogate MI9, but you have made too many mistakes recently. Half a year ago, the kingdom lost on the east coast of Balam due to an intelligence leak, and you haven't found out who it is yet.

The voyage and itinerary of the Pritzker were leaked, and you also did not find out. Now there is a case of internal members cooperating to assassinate the Duke. Whether it is a member of the House of Commons~www.novelbuddy.com~ or a noble of the House of Lords, they are already very dissatisfied with you!

Since the establishment of MI9 for more than 100 years, you have never had an advantage in the fight against the CIA in Intis, and you can only passively defend. Now, even Feysac and the pirates can get information from Loen, do you really still need to exist? "

"Mr. Prime Minister!" Seier raised his head, his tone was rather unpleasant, "The credit of MI9 does not need your evaluation."

"Then I have nothing to say. You can leave and wait for the impeachment of the parliament and the attack of the nobles!" Agusid didn't mean to give in at all.

"Hehe, MI9 is ​​only responsible to the king!"

"Faced with the alliance between the House of Commons and the House of Lords, even if His Majesty the King insists, do you think you can continue to stay in MI9?"

Looking at the two tit-for-tat, Rawls frowned, and he increasingly felt that there was something wrong with the conversation between the two. As a demigod, Sert would not have much impact even if he lost his position as director of MI9, and a demigod would never be easily given up.

After Amelius was dismissed because of Auston, he took up his post in the Ministry of Defense not long after. Although he had the help of the New Party, the strength of the demigods was the most important guarantee.

And Agusid is even more interesting. After the assassination of Duke Negan, the Prime Minister bowed his head to the New Party to protect the family. Even though the Negan family has not suffered much loss now, it is completely impossible for him to conflict with a demigod like Seert who is in charge of MI9.

Taking the opportunity to get the most benefit is more like his style.
