Chapter 365: Aftermath of the landslide
Looking into the future, the traversers are full of emotions and full of confidence.
But right in front of them, they have a big problem to solve.
Marquis Henry, who had lost his army and lost his beloved son, was almost insane, and was frantically dispatching his men to search everywhere in the Norma Mountains to trace the cause of the landslide.
He is not a fool, how could the landslide be such a coincidence! Not to mention that every peak in the Norma area has been inspected, and there is absolutely no "dangerous house" that is not strong enough - this is the northern gateway of the Molai Commercial Federation, a super fortress, and a key defense area. After so many years of construction, why? There may be a few peaks that could collapse so easily, but there are still several in a row!
The first thing he suspected was of course Duke Norma. The Norma family has been operating here for many years, for several generations. If they have the ability to do big things here, they are none other than them.
Moreover, doing tricks on the mountain, causing continuous landslides at critical moments, this kind of thing is completely in line with the character of the Duke of Norma who has lost his territory-the current Duke of Norma is not someone who can decide and do such a thing in a short time. but his father was different. The former Duke of Norma was a powerful character known for his ruthlessness. During the last battle of Norma, he had hanged hundreds of families in one go, just to suspect that these families might have colluded with Thrace.
Thrace really arranged a lot of people in the Norma area at that time, and also developed a lot of grass. But everyone was shocked by this cruel method, even if they had let go before, they immediately changed their mouths. Some people even ran to the duke to surrender, begging the duke to hang himself and spare his family.
The Duke's answer is that since he is willing to surrender, it can be saved. As long as he can find the culprit and help catch the spy or the person who has betrayed, the matter can end here, and he can pretend that it never happened.
In order to survive and for the sake of their families, those people tried their best to find their former accomplices. In the end, the arrangement of Thrace in the Norma area was almost wiped out, and there were only a few spies who were deeply hidden and never used. was spared.
The landslide this time looks very much like the handwriting of the Duke. Maybe he was already preparing at that time, and the current duke only needs to be in charge of the next order.
Not only Marquis Henry himself judged this way, but his staff also thought so, even... Even Duke Norma himself, after receiving the news, the first reaction was to ask the housekeeper: "Father, he died of a sudden illness and was dying. I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to explain many things to me... You said, was this landslide arranged by him before his death?"
The housekeeper is the person whom the duke trusts most. His family was the housekeeper of the Norma family as early as when the Norma family was just prosperous. The bones are connected to the tendons, which is the most reliable. After listening to the duke's question, he recalled it carefully for a long time, and then said unsurely: "My father never told me about the old duke's special arrangement, maybe he thinks I shouldn't know about it, or maybe this It's just a one-way connection with the old duke... This kind of thing, of course, the fewer people know about it, the better."
"But now, we don't even know about it!" The Duke complained, "Father, he's so real! Life is not good at all. He is almost sixty years old, and he went to have **** with 'Bold Ji', and ended up lying on the bed... ... He only had time to say a few words to me when I hurried! I have to apologize to others with a shy face... They didn't ask me for anything, it's just that something like this happened to my father, so I couldn't bear it Get up!"
Speaking of this, the butler could only bow his head and said nothing.
The death of the former Duke of Norma was really a big scandal. The worst thing was... the mermaid princess "Bold Ji" who squeezed him out, is still a mermaid princess, and still comes to the mainland from time to time to find a man who is pleasing to the eye. Dewy marriage. This mermaid princess herself is a powerhouse close to the legendary level, and she is quite decent. Apart from her indiscreet style, she has no bad deeds. She also pays attention to your love and wishes with men, although there are lecherous men who die from time to time. On her bed, but it didn't cause her any trouble.
Because this princess is beautiful and very proficient in the ways of men and women, it is said that she can give men extreme happiness beyond imagination. So although people die from time to time, whenever she comes to the mainland, there are still many people who try to sleep with her. Especially those wealthy businessmen and big nobles who have already enjoyed all the glory and wealth and crazy pursuit of excitement, they are even more attracted to her. The former Duke of Norma was not the first great nobleman to fall on her bed, nor would he be the last.
But for the son of Duke Norma, it is a common saying on earth - it's tears when you say it.
When it comes to Bold Ji, Duke Norma's master and servant are not interested in further research. No matter what happened, the landslide in the Norma Mountains must have something to do with the Duke.
What's more... Duke Norma was very happy and very happy when he learned that the most outstanding son of Marquis Henry had died in the landslide.
That bastard! To be the butcher Richard as a dog and to bite himself, a cultural man, caused him to lose the Norma area where the Norma family was the foundation. This deep hatred, he thought of revenge day and night. After hearing the news, the only thing he was dissatisfied with was why he didn't kill that old **** Hyde Henry too!
He had the heart to admit that he did it himself, but after discussing it with his staff, he changed his mind - although this kind of thing seemed cool, it could easily lead to revenge by the Thracians. If the Marquis Henry carried out a vengeful massacre in the Norma region, there would inevitably be people who would blame the Duke of Norma.
Therefore, in the end, Duke Norma's approach was vague, not only emphasizing that he really did not arrange the landslide, nor denying that the landslide was related to the Norma family-he emphasized that "I did not arrange it", that's all.
Such a statement can not only maintain mystery and deterrence, but also avoid positive contradictions. Maybe it's still a little troublesome, but since the benefits have been obtained, it's not a big deal to bear a little trouble for this.
The Duke of Norma's announcement spread a few days later. The Marquis Henry, who got the news, was naturally furious. It is said that he used his native dialect to scold the Duke of Norma, from ancestors to descendants, for more than ten generations.
After scolding, he ordered a revenge massacre in the Norma area, just as the staff of the Duke of Norma had expected.
"As long as it has something to do with the Norma family, men, women and children, no one will stay!"
