V8.Chapter 47

Inside the splendid palace.

A group of richly dressed nobles gathered here, headed by a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, with the emblem of a brown lion on his chest.

This is a family emblem belonging to aristocrats. The design avoids the symbols of gods. Generally, this kind of emblem is only possible for nobles who have had epic characters in the family. The middle-aged man in front of him is a member of the Lion Family. This is an ancient family that has ruled Taron City for more than a hundred years. There was an epic named 'Golden Lion' in Queen Isabella's time. level powerhouse. The birth of the male lion family started at that time, but since then, there has never been an epic character in this family, and at most there are only one or two legendary professionals.

The male lion family has been down for a while, but the blood inheritance of this family is still somewhat advantageous, and there will always be a few genius-level characters every few generations.

And the current head of the family is the standard genius of the mortal population.

At the age of thirty-five, the lord Knox, the lord of Taron City, entered the legendary realm.

Although his strength has entered the legendary realm, he is already considered to be the strongest among mortals, but at this moment, Knox's expression is quite hesitant and tangled.

The virtues of the nobility are few and far between.

This is itself a dark and ignorant era. Everything that Sauron saw in Amber City will also appear in Tarun City, and may even be worse. The glory of the male lion family has passed away for a long time. Although a legendary powerhouse has emerged in these years, the virtue of the 'Golden Lion' has undoubtedly not continued on his descendants. Knox is a noble lord of the lawful evil camp. His cruel rule has always exploited and oppressed the civilians in the city of Taron. He recruited and tortured the church to grow, but in exchange for some gifts from the gods, he even secretly executed him. There have been several paladins who dared to meddle in and question his rule.

If there is no outbreak of the catastrophe of the saints.

With Knox's legendary strength, such domination will continue in Taron City for hundreds of years.

However, the outbreak of the catastrophe of the saints shook his rule, and made him need more help for the whipping girl Lauvita. He thought that with the protection of a god, he could survive this crisis safely.

but!

What he never expected was that now he has an even more terrifying enemy because of this!

Shadow dominates Sauron!

Mysterious assassins have turned Talon City upside down. These people secretly have the support of the Thieves Guild. So far, they have not obtained many clues.

"Lord City Lord!"

An old man with a rich face stood up and said, "Things can't get worse! Now the whole city of Taren is in chaos! We must find a way to stop this!"

"More than ten nobles have been killed so far!"

"Maybe we should take some revenge on the killer!"

This is Sir Finley.

He used to be a high-level knight, but now he has become a fat man with a big belly. The fall of Taron City made the nobles indulge in pleasures. More than half of the nobles present were overweight, and even Knox became a lot richer because of luxurious pleasures.

"A fool who doesn't know who the enemy is!"

Knox thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it, but said slowly: "The situation must be controlled! But more importantly, we must choose a position in this matter!"

There is no shortage of smart people present, and the nobles all have some scheming.

And they are proficient in politics, so they naturally know what the city owner is talking about at the moment!

"I think we should stand on the side of the Goddess of Torment. Her church has a closer relationship with us, and Modo City is far overseas. This battle may not be their victory." A nobleman who looked overly drunk said.

What he didn't say was that he was caught a lot by the church that tortured the goddess.

If these things are published, what he has done is enough to go to the gallows. At this time, he must stand on the side of the tortured church, and there is no choice.

"I think the odds of torturing the goddess are very low."

This time it was a young nobleman who looked vaguely like a half-elf. There are quite a few half-elves on the continent, and there are not a lot of mixed races, and in many cities ruled by evil, female elves belong to Expensive personal items, in this case it is possible to give birth to half-elf offspring.

This nobleman, named Tranor, was the bastard son of a half-elf.

For an illegitimate child to inherit the title, it must be necessary to have enough ruthless means. Although other nobles looked at him with a hint of contempt, no one refuted it, which means that the other party has a deterrent force.

but.

Although most of the nobles did not speak at the moment, a burly figure sitting on the side sneered: "Trano! You despicable father-killer! Are you ready to bow down to the enemy so soon?"

Patriarch.

This is a message from Taron City.

It is said that Tranor killed his father by poisoning his own hands when he inherited the title, but no one has been able to prove this, and it was only spread among the nobles as a message.

Clang!

Hearing these harsh words, Tranor drew his long sword in an instant and said angrily: "Nordent! Shut your stinky mouth, or you will never want to speak again!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"enough!"

Knox, the city lord, shouted, and then said: "This is the end of today's meeting. Nordent, you stay, the others go first."

In this case, there is no need to talk.

The nobles of Taron City were not united enough, so Knox felt that it would be better for him to leave his close nobles to negotiate secretly.

"Humph!"

The half-elf bastard named Tranor glared at the burly man in the shadows with resentment, and then left with his entourage. He ventured on the mainland in his early years, and he was surrounded by a group of outlaws who were good at reaching out, even Nook. Si also didn't want to get too stiff with him.

A group of nobles withdrew.

However, some of them did not leave the city lord's mansion, but directly entered the back house. These were all Knox's cronies.

The Church of Shadows is coming.

Most of the nobles of Taron City have close ties to Lauvita's church. At this time, they are obviously closer to the familiar Lauvita, rather than the shadow church they have never met.

The night is empty.

The nobles who stayed did not leave until very late, because they had never been able to think of a better countermeasure.

Knox rubbed his forehead wearily.

He felt that things were very difficult, because as a secular noble, it was very uncomfortable to be involved in the struggle between the two gods.

"Oh no!"

"Oh no!"

A panicked voice came, Knox heard the words and stood up and said angrily: "What are you doing in a panic?!"

A man dressed as an official stumbled in, and then panicked: "Sir City Lord! Not good! Tranor has rebelled! He has already led his men to attack the warehouse! Now he is attacking the city defense! Many guards have been captured by him. Bought followed by rebellion!"

Rebellious?

Knox woke up in an instant.

Thinking of Tranor's eyes full of resentment when he left, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and said solemnly: "How many of them are there? Immediately at the same time, other nobles will gather their troops and come with me!"

The man dressed as an official stammered, "A lot!"

"A lot of troops!"

"Tranor has found so many reinforcements from nowhere! These rebel armies fly with a black flag!"

Ignoring the stammering mayor, Knox immediately rushed out with the others, and as soon as he went out, he saw the light of fire in the distance. There are many places in Taron City now on fire. There was a faint shrill cry. In the distance was the sound of the army gathering, and some dull loud noises, and I didn't know what was going on.

"Lord City Lord, don't be in a hurry!"

The burly aristocrat named Nordent frowned and stared at the firelight, and then said: "With Tranor's strength, even if there are reinforcements, it is impossible to have much! I think he is confusing us!"

"Let me bring someone over and get him in front of you!"
