Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 337: Trouble with the Duke of Rune

, The fastest update Your Majesty, the spectacle missed the country! latest chapter!

On the Chishui River, which borders the Carter Plateau and the Stu'an Basin, two great aristocrats in the west were born, one of which was the Brad family.

Most of the land on the south bank of Chishui River belongs to the territory of the Brad family.

Under the painstaking management of the Duke of Luen in the past, this land has already become the most severely annexed area in the entire empire, and even seven out of ten people are serfs.

It was also under the daily squeeze that the Brad family not only accumulated a lot of wealth, but also possessed the largest aristocratic private soldiers in the western part of the empire.

The current Duke of Luen, Mankun Brad, is one of the top five regents of the Empire. He has served as the Minister of Finance of the Norman Empire and the Minister of the Seal. He is powerful in the western part of the empire!

On the banks of Chishui River, Luen City.

At this time, it happened to be the rainy season in the western part of the empire. The rushing water of the Chishui River carried a large amount of sediment from the upper reaches, so that when it passed near the city of Luen, it had already turned into a dark red turbid current.

In the distance, a thunderstorm struck from time to time in the gloomy sky, and rapid raindrops poured down, causing countless splashes of water.

The serfs hid in their dilapidated thatched huts, watching the rain poured in from the cracks in the roof, which wet the only bedding in the house.

The ground was muddy, and there were muddy puddles outside the house. Whenever the rainy season came, it was the most embarrassing time for the serfs in the western part of the empire.

Only the artisans and the few civilians who served the noble lords had the right to live in the city, and they could only watch their feet rotten and swollen by the pouring rain.

The serfs never thought of resisting from time to time. In fact, the western part of the empire was the place where riots occurred most frequently in the entire Norman Empire.

Almost every three or two years, there will be a riot of a constant scale erupting on this land.

However...what did the unarmed serfs use to contend with the noble master?

Let the serfs with black bread in their hands confront the heavily armed soldiers. There is almost no chance of reversal in such a duel.

What's more, the western part of the empire has the largest number of mage towers except Saint Lawrence, the capital, and the mage team employed by the western nobles is even close to a triple-digit scale.

In some cases, only the simplest fireball technique is needed to make the humble and ignorant people lose the courage to resist.

The square Luen City is a slightly larger city in the Norman Empire, and the family castle belonging to the Brad family stands in the middle of the city.

On the towering tower, the Brad family's flag rang in the storm.

"Rumble—"

A dull thunder sound suddenly exploded from the distant sky, and the endless thunder sound even made the flame on the candle tremble slightly, flashing orange-red faint light.

On the first floor of the castle is a traditional banquet hall, with scarred armor placed on both sides, which is a symbol of the feats made by the ancestors of the Brad family.

From viscount to earl, to marquis, duke, and even the regent.

The Brad family has always been steadily fighting step by step. From the local nobles in the western part of the empire, they gradually stepped into the magnificent hall of St. Lawrence and entered the center of power.

There are three extremely large long oak tables in the banquet hall, which are large enough to hold a banquet of two to three hundred people.

The huge stone pillars around the hall are hung with scarlet curtains. The curtains are sewn with pale gold silk and satin, which is the family emblem of the Brad family-"Sword and Flower".

There are at least fifty candles on every gilt candlestick in the banquet hall, and the pulsating flames light up every corner of the hall.

Mankiw Bula, Duke of Luen, was sitting alone at the end of the long oak table, cutting a **** half-raw steak on a tray with a knife and fork.

"Khhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

The knife and fork made a clear collision with the tray, echoing in the empty banquet hall.

The continuous rainstorm has lasted for several days, and Duke Luen's mood is also very depressed these days.

This is not because of heavy rain, but because of some other things...

"Master Duke, Master Alessi is here..."

finally,

When Duke Luen finished the last piece of **** beef and poured a big mouthful of apple puree, the figure of the old housekeeper appeared at the door of the banquet hall.

The archmage Alessi, who was following the housekeeper, looked a little anxious, and hurriedly came to Duke Luen's side with small steps.

"Master Duke!"

Seeing Alesi's solemn face, Duke Luen seemed to have some bad premonitions in his heart.

As the great nobles in the western part of the empire, the Brad family has a team of professional mages composed of dozens of mages and several great spells. Kun Brad sees it as his right-hand man.

These mages employed by the Brad family not only have in-depth research on magic, but also used the magical environment in the western part of the empire to open up a lot of experimental fields to grow scarce magic plants.

And just a week ago, the magic plants in the test field seemed to have been attacked by evil, and they withered one after another without warning!

This is a phenomenon that has never happened before!

"How is the magic plant in the experimental field? Are there any new changes?"

Alessi shook her head in frustration, and replied helplessly:

"The hard work of these years was almost completely destroyed. We finally snatched dozens of extremely precious magic plants from the experimental field and transplanted them into the mage tower, barely retaining a little hope."

"Just transplant it to the mage tower?"

Alessi shook her head and said, "Although the magic environment in the Mage Tower is more stable, it can only play a role in delaying the withering..."

Hearing this, Duke Luen clenched his fist without showing off.

As one of the important supporters of the Irun School, the Brad family puts a large amount of gold coins into the experimental field every year.

But now...

Not only was all this money squandered, even the dozens of magical plants left in this area were also in jeopardy.

"Who can tell me what happened?!"

At this moment, Duke Luen's tone was already filled with sullen anger.

"Master Duke, this kind of phenomenon has never happened before. We can only find clues through our own experience and looking up past information..." Archmage Alessi was embarrassed.

"Is there any eyebrows? I don't want to know the process, I need just an answer!"

Duke Luen leaned on the large seat, took out a cigarette case from his arms, and smoked himself.

Although the goods of the Idars were mainly sold to the Kingdom of Basel, business travelers from the Duchy of Idar also brought these novelties to all parts of the Norman Empire.

As one of the dukes with the highest status in the Norman Empire, Duke Luen naturally became interested in the Duke Zero who was just born in the eastern part of the empire.

so,

When this kind of cigarette from the eastern part of the empire was sold to the western part of the empire for the first time by business travelers, Duke Luen had already deeply liked this feeling.

Somehow, perhaps it was some kind of psychological comfort, he could always sort out his disorganized thoughts while smoking.

The smell of smoke was a little choking, but Alessi still said in a roundabout way:

"Magic plants are far more sensitive to magical powers than human wizards, and the sudden withering of a large number of magical plants is usually only related to magical powers. So... after consulting a large number of magic-related books, I did not borrow from the school of magicians. After experience, we believe that only one situation can cause the current phenomenon."

Alessi took a deep breath and said sternly:

"Only when there is a large reduction in the magic element, the magic plant will appear such a collective withering phenomenon..."

"Large reduction of magic elements?"

Duke Luen was stunned for a moment.

Then……

A daze flashed in his eyes, and... an unbelievable expression.

"Are you sure? You are a mage. If the magic element is reduced in a large area, you should be able to feel it, right?"

"Return to Lord Duke, we have tried several experiments, and the concentration of magic power in the western part of the empire... seems to have decreased. However! There has been continuous rain in the past few days, and changes in the weather will sometimes affect the environment. The concentration of magic power in it, so it is not possible to draw an accurate conclusion for the time being." Mage Alessi lowered his head and said.

"I'm afraid that you don't want to detail that the concentration of magic elements is decreasing..." Duke Luen said, smoking.

"How could this kind of thing happen..." Alessi gave a wry smile, behaving in acquiescence to Duke Luen's statement.

After a long silence, Duke Luen lit a cigarette again: "You go to the mage of the Asimov family and ask them whether this happened in the Asimov family's territory."

The Asimov family referred to by Duke Luen,

In fact, it is the family power represented by Duke Carter, one of the five regents.

The territory of the Asimov family is located on the Carter Plateau north of the Chishui River, not far from the Brad family represented by the Duke of Luen.

You know, Duke Carter and Duke Luen are the uncrowned kings of the western part of the empire, and the two core figures of the noble interest groups in the western part of the empire!

The five regent dukes of the Norman Empire, the western part of the Empire dominates the second!

"clear."

Hearing this, Alessi nodded quickly.

"Wait!"

The moment Alessi turned around, Duke Luen added: "...not just the Asimov family, all the noble leaders who plant magical plants or hire wizard consultants in the western part of the empire, you have to go Take a trip……"

Although a little puzzled, Alessi nodded and agreed.

Alessi has never heard of the gradual decrease in magic power, because there are few ancient books circulating outside that record what happened in the past.

but,

As a behemoth that has rooted in the western part of the empire for hundreds of years, the Brad family has left countless secrets and notes.

Therefore, although Alessi has not heard of such a thing, it may be subjectively missing some unnoticeable details, but this does not mean that the Duke of Luen, who is a layman, does not know!

The eastern part of the empire is a living example!

According to the records of the ancestors of the Brad family, hundreds of years ago, the eastern part of the empire was a magical place similar to the western part of the empire.

However,

It only took two years for the eastern part of the empire to degenerate from a place full of magic power to a place with thin magic power!

The world turned upside down in two years!

No one knows what happened, and no one knows why it happened!

at this moment,

The cold sweat had already soaked Duke Luen's back, and the Duke, who was only half a hundred years old, felt this feeling of bewilderment for the first time.

history……

Will it be staged again...

"Steward!" Duke Luen shouted suddenly.

"Come on, Lord Duke..."

Hearing the words of Duke Luen, the old butler finally ran over out of breath.

"During this time... is there anything abnormal in the western part of the empire?"

"abnormal?"

"Businessmen, travelers, or other things worthy of attention."

Somehow, in the dark, Duke Luen always felt that this matter should always be traceable.

"There was a peasant riot in Duke Carter's territory, and there were many casualties..."

The old butler frowned and tried to recall:

"The caravan from the eastern part of the empire brought a lot of new things..."

"The war in the interior is very anxious, and the people who fled have stormed the territory of Count Cecil..."

"Bishop Olsson of the Religious Inquisition went to the diocese of Cecil a few days ago and brought a group of Holy Order troops..."

"..."

for a long time,

Duke Luen finally opened his eyes:

"Look it up carefully for me! After Alessi returns, if this happens in the western part of the empire, then from the refugees to the caravans, from the church to the nobles, I have to figure out what happened at all costs. !"

"Now I wish, Lord Duke..."

"Also... have you found out about Arnell?"

Hearing this, the old butler couldn't help shivering, and said:

"Return to Lord Duke, a few days ago, there was news from Saint Lawrence, the imperial capital. Arnell seemed to have written a letter asking some mage apprentices to go east, but where did they go? do not know……"

The Arnell of the two populations, that is, Arnell Brad, who ran away from home, is now the advisor of the Mage of the Principality of Idar.

Duke Luen had two wives, if you count his illegitimate son~www.readwn.com~ there are five sons and two daughters under his knees.

Except for the illegitimate son of his lover, Arnell Brad, who ran away from home a year ago and went missing, the rest of the children are well-known in the western part of the empire and are sought after by countless nobles.

The eldest son Conley Brad was placed high hopes by the Duke of Luen, and he had already shown remarkable communicative skills.

Although the youngest daughter Léa Brad has just grown up, she has been called "the first beauty in the western part of the empire", and countless young people have come to propose marriage.

The rest of the children also have their own talents. Only his illegitimate son, Arnell Brad, may be due to his limited attention to him, and finally ran away in anger...

"What is the chaos in the interior of the empire? Why haven't people got it back?"

"Send people out again. If you can't find the inland, you will go to the east. If you can't find it, you will go to the Odin Empire and the Kingdom of Basel! In short, members of the Brad family must not die outside. This is related to the decency of the family."

Duke Luen frowned and said.
