Mystery: Shadow of Order Chapter 428

One of the things that the Loen nobles, especially the great nobles with many descendants, has always been a headache for is the issue of inheritance. If you want to pass on the family, having a qualified heir is the biggest prerequisite.

Under the tradition of monogamy, there are only direct sons and no concubines, so nobles only need to consider the issue of age. The eldest son is excellent, so naturally, needless to say, it can be implemented according to Loen's inheritance law. But if the eldest son is not talented enough, but the second or youngest son is outstanding, it will be the most troublesome thing for these nobles. Especially when the issue of parental preference is involved, the inheritance rights will be entangled for a long time.

Don't look at Loen's inheritance law, which stipulates that the eldest son can inherit the title and property, but for these nobles, it is still possible to change the inheritance rights through various means before their own death. Wait.

As long as there are no flaws in this method, the rest of the nobles will only turn a blind eye. After all, they cannot guarantee that they will not encounter such a problem.

Of course, there are nobles who take such measures for the continuation of the family, and there are naturally nobles who don't care or have enough trust in their eldest son who has no talent.

In addition, there is another method of division, which is to leave the title to the eldest son, and divide a part of the resources or property to the beloved younger son. In addition to causing sibling disputes, this method may lead to the complete decline of the family.

But the three Levitt brothers are unique among the nobility.

The eldest brother, Aldrich Levitt, inherited the family title and stabilized the Levitt family's position and interests in the House of Lords; the second brother, Amelius Levitt, inherited the family's influence in the military, and was later promoted to a demigod; the younger brother Although he changed from the army to the government, but with the support of his two brothers, he also became the governor of one side.

In the eyes of other nobles, this inheritance method of the Levitt family not only did not make the family decline, but also expanded the power of the family, and the relationship between the three brothers was even more stable.

But Auston knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon. He didn't inherit anything from his father, the old Earl of Levitt. He had no right to speak in the family. compensation only.

More importantly, he knew that he could only stay at the level of the local governor and could not go any higher. Because of the need for greater political resources, it will affect the existing political structure of the Levitt family.

The governor has been in office for five years, and he has already served his second term. According to the regulations, he will return to Backlund after three or four years. If there is no accident, he will be granted a title, and then he will no longer be able to obtain the Levitt family. Supported, although the two brothers loved him very much.

In that case, he would be of little use to Prince Charles.

Therefore, for Auston, before he leaves office and is ennobled, he has to tie the Levitt family to Prince Charles, so that even if he is not as good as his two brothers, he can gain more trust from His Royal Highness the Prince.

After the assassination of Duke Negan, Auston planned to go to his brother Amelius to bring this matter to light, and take this opportunity to allow the Levitt family to gain the support of Prince Charles and become the leader of the Conservative aristocracy.

But at that time, Nast's "Dark Emperor" couldn't go back, so he didn't set off.

But within two days, Amelius came to Oravi, warned him to stop smuggling to Feysac, destroy all evidence, and said that this matter had been known by the Negan family. In order to protect him, the Levitt family. Temporarily support the Negan family.

Auston felt that his spirit was about to leave his body at the time, and he didn't react until Prince Charles asked about it, defending that it was a decision made by his two brothers, to avoid the impact of the new party first, and then gradually nibble away The power of the Negan family.

Because of the two hundred years of grievances between the Litt family and the Negan family, Prince Charles did not doubt this matter, but just let him quickly showdown with the two brothers, so that he would use his power to make Amelius the leader of the war against Feysac next year. Supreme Commander, the mutual benefit and win-win situation of both sides of the line of sight.

There was no other way, Auston had to accept it.

For the sake of the throne, His Royal Highness even dared to sell information to Feysac, causing heavy damage to the Ruen East Balam fleet. Once you know that this matter is known to outsiders, you must be the first to be sacrificed.

Fortunately, he was not unprepared. From the beginning, he took good care of the evidence that Prince Charles ordered him to sell the information of the East Balam fleet to Feysac. After the smuggling of new-style arms was known to the Negan family, he copied the evidence several times, just because he was worried that he would "suicide" like Charlie's housekeeper.

One was placed in the safe in his office, one was given to his favorite mistress, one was given to his most trusted servant, and the other was placed in the bank of his brother Amelius in Balam Bank. Inside the name safe.

Even if there is a problem with him, at least one piece of evidence can be guaranteed to be obtained by his brother.

After carefully recalling his arrangements, Auston nodded with satisfaction, pinched the sore and swollen eyebrows, and went to the bedroom attached to the office to lie down and rest.

In the dark underground secret room, the candle flame swayed, casting an exaggerated and deformed shadow on the wall, adding a bit of horror to the atmosphere.

Bird Mustang, the "Viscount Dread" who had recovered to his original appearance, sat on the only wooden chair, his wide robe was dragged on the ground, his eyelids were drooping, his breathing was long and powerful, and on the low table in front of him was a detailed Aura Island defense map.

A comatose Auston Leavitt was lying at his feet, wearing nothing but close-fitting clothing, with a bruised forehead.

If he wasn't the "Interrogator" of Sequence 7, lying on the ground in Oravi for half an hour in January would be enough to give up half his life.

The underground chamber was on a farm southeast of Oravi, at least 25 kilometers from the Governor's Palace and the naval base.

Above the secret room, Rawls satisfactorily wrapped the "Dream Catcher" with an opaque black cloth, threw it into the space money bag, and left the farm with Alysia.

Governor's Palace.

"Auston Levitt" who was sitting behind the desk sorted out the information he had rummaged through and walked to the attached small bedroom.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he has black hair and blue eyes, a high forehead, slightly swollen eye bags, and the corners of his mouth have not yet drooped. He tidied up his clothes, making his face a little tired. After confirming that there was no problem, he walked to the desk, picked up a pen and shouted:

"Mirko."

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. A young man with neatly groomed hair and straight facial features pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Mr. Governor frowning, he immediately slowed down his steps and bowed his head respectfully:

"Mr. Governor."

He is the newly transferred secretary, who belongs to MI9 and has the responsibility of supervising Auston Leavitt, but lacks relevant experience in secretarial work.

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to see Commodore Joseph at the naval base."

"Now?"

Mirko looked at the wall clock on the side. It was already 11 o'clock in the evening. Brigadier General Joseph was going to go to the Rhosid Sea area in the morning.

"Huh?" Governor "Auston"'s face elongated a bit, with a sense of majesty.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Mirko nodded quickly, turned and left the office.

A few minutes later, "Auston" left the office, and the figures of Rawls and Alysia were slowly outlined.

"He should have extraordinary items related to the 'Arbiter' pathway on him."

Alysia nodded and affirmed Rawls' guess, and said:

"As the 'Faceless', the biggest flaw is that it is difficult for them to simulate the sequence of the target, so the Metropolis will use extraordinary items to make up for it.

In the Fourth Epoch, many 'faceless people' of the Zarath family would use this method to disguise. They have to do it even more fully. For example, Faceless Man will only play Beyonders of the same level as Judges and Conspirators, while Sequence 5 has Secret Puppet Master pretending to be. This is to prevent being found wrong by the 'law mages' who pass through the level they are in.

Even to the end, every 'Law Mage' may not be able to distinguish Beyonders from other paths, but they can all distinguish 'divine experts'. However, this situation is only concentrated under the demigods. After all, at that time, there were many opportunities for demigods to contact the angel-level powerhouse. The 'Crafty Mage' can hide from the 'Law Mage', but it cannot hide the gaze of the angels. "

In other words, the "Law Mage" can only judge which level the Beyonder is at. Unless he is very familiar with that path, he can't tell which path the target is... Rawls looked at the carriage that had left outside the window, if thoughtful.

Therefore, it is impossible for the guy who pretended to be Auston to use this identity to deceive Amelius and his party. They can distinguish the difference between Sequence 6 and Sequence 7. But if so, what does Nast want to do?

Shaking his head, Rawls walked to the bedroom attached to the office, stood in front of the window, stretched out his hand to hold down a tile, and followed Alicia to float the bed with an "invisible hand".

Press down hard and the tile sinks.

The floor under the bed bounced silently and slipped aside, revealing a solid black safe.

According to Auston's dream memory, Rawls easily opened the safe, took out a translucent crystal ball from it, slowly instilled spirituality into it, and nodded when he saw the miniature version of Auston inside. .

Turn off the safe, restore the mechanism, and put the bed back in its place.

Rawls, who lacked enough knowledge and knowledge, took the crystal ball and asked:

"Do you know anything about this?"

"It should be something made by the 'Moss Ascetic Order' or the 'Church of Craftsmen'. They can always make something with special effects."

It doesn't matter, as long as it's useful... Rawls looked at the crystal ball in his hand, if something happened to Auston, and if this thing leaked out, would Prince Charles follow Idesac's footsteps.

Bayam, Governor's Palace.

"Did someone see Senor's second mate at the dock?"

Prince Grove Augustus in a big cloak touched his upturned beard. If it had been before, he would never have asked about a Sequence 6-related matter, even the Pirate General Senor, who only had four. Wang was able to get him interested.

But it is different now. George Negan died at the hands of Senor. Although this guy was very close to the Church of the Storm, which made him very dissatisfied, he was partly responsible for this matter.

"Yes, they should be trying to catch the captain of the 'Golden Dream', 'Flame' Danitz. Some members saw him appearing at the pier, but then disappeared."

Overton, who was a brigadier general, could only stand by, because everyone sitting in the living room had a higher position than him.

"Didn't you propose to eliminate Bayam's pirates before the war? Take him as the first target, and eliminate them before the Church of the Storms reacts."

Grove wouldn't let the Church of the Storms get ahead.

Amelius, who played Roselle chess with former Navy Commander Pablo Connery, held the "Queen" chess path:

"It is estimated that it is difficult to take down a 'living corpse' without making a big move based on MI9's personnel alone. They are not afraid of bullets, and you lack the seal of restraint."

"I plan to recruit some adventurers and let them participate, but it will take time." Brigadier General Overton replied in a deep voice.

"No, let's do it as soon as possible! You can do it yourself~www.mtlnovel.com~ Admiral Amelius, and your secretary should also be sent there." Grove directly denied the law.

Amelius' face turned gloomy. Although Lieutenant Colonel Lu Er'an was affiliated with MI9, he was also his secretary. He directly passed over him, the secretary who was commanding him in the future, so he was happy.

Although Pablo also disliked Grove's behavior, he had no choice but to smooth things out:

"Play chess, play chess!"

Brigadier General Overton, who was assisted successfully, also left silently.

"I have confirmed the information you provided. According to what I promised you before, you can get 'Steel' McVeity and one-tenth of the bounty of the pirates around him. The specific amount will have to wait until we arrest him. to be determined later.”

It was still the two-story building, and Overton, who was wearing a brigadier general's uniform, sat on the sofa, looking at the stern man in front of him with blue eyes, with a slight smile on his serious face.

"Steel" McVitie, the "living corpse" of Sequence 6, the second officer of "Admiral Blood", is not too big or small, and can be the first target of MI9.

McViti's bounty is 6,000 pounds, and one tenth is 600 pounds. If you add other pirates, you should be able to get 1,000 pounds. You can get so much just by providing a message. Danitz, you really want Thank me... There was a hint of madness in Klein's dark brown eyes:

"Can I take part in the hunt?"

Although making money is good, perfecting the identity of Gehrman Sparrow is the most important thing, of course, it is not bad to get more bounties!

"hunting?"

Brigadier General Overton raised his eyebrows, thought for a while but agreed.

"Of course, but you can't leave here for now."

This is because I am worried about leaking information about the operation... Klein nodded.
