Chapter 341 Trust or Not
Marquis Alke was the tenth marquis of the empire. He was the youngest and the shortest-serving marquis. He was also the grandfather of the knight girl Alyssa.
The news announced by the imperial family was that he disappeared after exploring the forbidden zone of life.
But according to the private intelligence sources of these marquises, Alke did not take the initiative to explore the forbidden zone of life, but was chased by a strong man and was forced into it because he had no way to escape.
You know, no matter how weak the marquis of the empire is, he is a ninth-level strong man who has mastered the rules. A "mysterious strong man" who is strong enough to hunt down Marquis Alke is also strong enough to hunt down them.
As for the true identity of the "mysterious strong man", many marquises have long speculated, but no one dared to speak out.
The current situation he faces involves a very delicate issue: In the face of the interests of the ruins, are the four major families trustworthy?
Marquis Winter did not think about taking the initiative to test the tone of the four major families to see what they really think.
But after some thought, he finally gave up this choice.
According to the secret information he obtained from a high-level prophet at a huge cost: This time, the things hidden in the ruins are secrets related to surpassing the ninth-level limit!
The authenticity of this news has been verified by special magic, and it is indeed true.
And if even he can get this news, the four major families and the imperial royal family, which are more powerful than him, must also receive this news.
It has been too long since there have been legends on this continent.
In the face of the temptation of breaking through the ninth-level natural chasm, even if the people of the four major families clearly told him: They will not attack him, nor will they attack any marquis.
But does he dare to believe it?
And conversely, the same is true for the four major families.
Marquis Winter asked himself, if he stood in the position of the four major families, he would not really attack them as that "Zero" said.
But he would definitely keep a close eye on these unstable factors, and secretly intervene when necessary to prevent them from getting the secrets hidden in the ruins first.
In other words, the probability of the people of the four major families attacking him is not high, but if there is any unexpected discovery in the ruins, it is probably not his turn.
The ninth-rank of the Enoch family was paying attention to him in order to monitor him and create trouble for him at critical moments.
The more Marquis Winter analyzed, the more he felt that this should be the real truth.
"Humph..."
Marquis Winter snorted in his heart as he glanced at the ninth-rank spellcaster of the Enoch family in the distance.
After all, he was also a ninth-rank. As long as he didn't make any unusual moves, Marquis Winter believed that the four major families would not tear their faces with him.
But this involves another problem. Is he willing to give up the temptation of breaking through the ninth rank?
Is he going to watch the four major families and the royal family obtain the secret of the ruins, and then break through the ninth rank, and always be on their heads? !
With a thought in his mind, a trace of haze swept through Marquis Winter's dark red eyes.
Like most ninth-rank professionals, he also has blood, and is a rare ninth-rank marine monster [Blood Eyed Mosasaur], famous for his ability to control thunderstorms and ocean whirlpools.
But at the same time, the powerful blood of the demon beasts also subtly influenced his character, making his character cold and stubborn, and not allowing any offense.
It seems that relying on personal strength, there is no hope of getting involved in the ruins.
Then, it is time to contact those "colleagues".
Maybe the relationship is ordinary, but now they have a common enemy.
Thinking of this, the left hand of the Marquis Winter behind his back could not help but touch the inconspicuous ring on the little finger.
This ring was sent by the people of the Marquis Draka, and it can communicate with each other over a long distance without being discovered by outsiders.
However, the person who sent him the ring was also a stranger.
Although he was not in the same camp as the "Zero" who was stirring up discord, the Marquis Winter still didn't like these strangers.
Although they came from a distant continent that sank in the Endless Sea, he always felt that these people were like two completely different races from them.
Finally, after glancing at the ninth level of the Itel family who was paying attention to his movements in the distance, the Marquis Winter turned and left.
At the same time, his fingers gently rubbed the ring at a specific frequency, sending out a special signal.
At the same time, in a tavern in a small city on the edge of the crater, Zero, who was dressed in a black robe, suddenly paused with his wine glass in his hand and looked at the panel beside him.
At the top of the panel task menu, the status of a certain S-level task to be completed, which was listed at the top, suddenly updated again.
The number of people who have been attracted below has changed from zero to one.
Compared with the words directly told by others, people are always more willing to believe the conclusions they have drawn through "rational analysis".
However, the so-called analysis can also be guided.
"Heh--"
Glancing at the status bar of the panel, a large list of various hidden surveillance effect states, Zero's face showed a meaningless smile mixed with a bit of contempt.
During this period, he lingered among many nobles and noble descendants of the empire. Although no one really took action against him, it was inevitable to leave some surveillance magic on him secretly.
However, this made no sense to him. Not to mention that he could not monitor the game panel, if he really needed to clear these states, he only needed to die once and revive.
Putting down the wine glass casually, he called out the pigeon system and simply sorted out the progress report of the mission and plot this time, preparing to send it to the people in the club.
'The task of winning over the marquis has just made progress. The panel does not show which marquis it is, but judging from the personality models of several marquises, 70% is Marquis Winter and 20% is Marquis Reg. '
'Next, if more than five marquises have a tacit alliance, it will be enough to really threaten the four major families. The Gate of the Eye will definitely take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and the situation in the ruins is already turbulent.
While the ruins attract the attention of most of the high-level people, arrange personnel as soon as possible to join the resistance camp, and pay attention to choosing the "regular" resistance.
Take advantage of this good opportunity that has just started, try to concentrate resources on one person, gain a higher status in the resistance, and strive to obtain the authority to lead troops independently, which will be very useful in the future. '
'I will continue to guide the situation here at the Gate of the Eye. With these achievements, the leader will definitely value me more.
Next, I should be able to initially call upon the resources of the Gate of the Eyes and try to further influence the internal situation of the empire. ’
After writing the content of the letter, Zero relaxed his body and leaned back on the chair, casually folded the virtual letter of the system, and put it into the container on the leg of the carrier pigeon.
I am delivering information in front of you, can you see it?
Then, Zero's mind moved slightly, and the high-level carrier pigeon quickly sank into the void with the written letter.
"Boss, another glass of 'God's Dream'."
Putting two gold coins on the table casually, Zero picked up the wine glass again, shook the light blue wine in the glass with a hazy look, and then drank it all.
To be honest, he likes this world more and more.
Although it is just a virtual world, it is extremely real---
However, the happy Zero did not think of one thing.
The surveillance spell from someone on him can indeed see the game panel.
