Red Dragon Emperor

Chapter 279 Subverting the Principality of Norn

North of Tydanor, in the Principality of Norn, one of the four Northland countries, in the Viscounty of the Hills.

The high-hanging full moon spreads its pure white moonlight to the earth, and the moonlight shines on the majestic castle built of huge rocks. In this world lacking entertainment, both commoners and nobles are accustomed to going to bed early except on special days. Hill Castle It was also dark, and the only room on the third floor was lit by a weak yellow candlelight. This only room with candlelight still lit was the study of Eugene Cook, Viscount of the Hill.

As the lowest principality among the imperial princes, the Principality of Norn has a limited territory and does not have many great nobles. Apart from the royal family, there are only two families of earls and eight families of viscounts. The Viscount of the Hill - Eugene Cook is one of the eight viscounts. one.

As the absolute top official in the principality, Viscount Eugene Cook of the Hill has always had a good reputation. In the eyes of the nobles of the principality, he is an elegant and easy-going scholar. In the eyes of the common people, he is a benevolent and wise aristocratic gentleman.

As usual, Eugene Cook was in the study room of his castle, reading at his desk by candlelight. His fingertips stained with saliva picked up a page of yellowed parchment and turned the pages. He was immersed in the knowledge recorded in the book. among.

Ding dong dong dong~!

Suddenly, the bell on the wall of the study rang. This was because someone pulled the rope connecting the bell.

Eugene Cook frowned slightly. On weekdays, the servants in the castle used bells to remind him to have a meal. However, at this time, it was definitely not a meal.

"Strange, is there a mouse in the castle? It seems that the butler will have to sell a cat," he muttered to himself and continued reading.

However, after a while, the bell rang again.

After being interrupted twice in succession, Eugene Cook's brows furrowed even deeper: "Butler! Butler! Go and see what's going on with the dinner bell!"

However, the Viscount's call did not receive an answer. The surroundings were quiet, not even the chirping of insects. He felt something was wrong, so he stood up and picked up the candlestick on the table.

Crunch~.

The study door was opened, and he walked out of the study to the castle corridor, stepped on the carpet and walked downstairs to the dining room, where the bell was tied at the other end.

In the dark castle, the middle-aged nobleman walked cautiously forward with a candle in his hand. The candle reflected his shadow on the castle wall. The shadow was huge and grotesque, like a twisted devil.

Step by step, he cautiously walked towards the restaurant. In this eerily quiet environment, this unfamiliar environment also made him feel faintly uneasy.

Suddenly, he saw a figure sitting on the bench at the end of the long mahogany dining table that he had purchased with a lot of money, and he was shocked.

"Who?! Who's there?! Guard! Guard!"

"No need to shout, His Excellency Viscount Eugene Cook," unexpectedly, this voice was clear and sweet. It was obvious that the owner of the voice was a woman. Judging from the sound alone, the owner of the voice must be of good looks.

"Now, except for the two of us, everyone else in this castle is asleep."

Holding a candle high in one hand and resting on the sword he carried with him in one hand, Eugene Cook stared at the person sitting on the chair solemnly. This uninvited guest was shrouded in a hood, with only his long red hair exposed. .

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the urge to draw his sword. This man in black robe could invade the hill castle silently and eliminate all the guards in the castle without him noticing. His strength was definitely not something he could compete with.

"Who are you, Your Excellency? What is the purpose of your late night visit?"

"It doesn't matter who I am," the figure with long red hair was still sitting on the chair with no intention of getting up.

She continued: "What matters is my purpose."

After a pause, the mysterious red-haired woman continued: "Viscount Eugene Cook of the Hill Territory, a kind and wise noble scholar, who would have thought that you, who are elegant and easy-going on the surface, are secretly the largest smuggler in the Principality of Norn. And the slave traders.”

When the mysterious black-robed woman revealed her biggest secret, Eugene Cook's expression suddenly changed, and he almost drew his sword and struck.

But he was a man who had seen strong winds and waves. He quickly calmed down, stared at the man in black robe and said coldly: "Tell me, friend, what is your purpose? I think you worked hard to investigate my background, and you went out of your way to If you come to me at this time, it will definitely not be as simple as chatting with me. I can give it to you no matter how much you want."

"money?"

"No, no, no, you may have misunderstood. I'm not looking for you for money."

The mysterious black-robed woman continued: "I just want to ask you a favor. Something will happen to the Norn Principality in the near future. At that time, you only need to make the right choice. This will be good for you and me. This How about a proposal?”

"Do I have a choice?"

"No, in fact, besides death, you have only one option to cooperate with us. Otherwise, the consequences will be more serious than you imagine, not only for you, but also for your family..., hehehe."

After a few laughs, the man in black robe disappeared on the chair. Eugene Cook's eyes narrowed. With his strength as a high-level warrior, he did not see clearly how the man in black robe left.

"By the way, I took your badge," I didn't know where the voice came from, but it sounded accurately in Eugene Cook's ears. His expression changed, and he touched his chest. He saw nothing except the soft material. Not touched.

The man in black robe had unknowingly taken away the badge hanging on his chest. He could take the badge away without the owner noticing, and he could easily kill someone. A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Under the dual threat of the handle and the strength of the mysterious man, he did not dare to have any different intentions.

At this time, in the sky above the hill fort, the harpy Luna Bloodfeather stared at the dead castle below. She took out a pen and paper from the dimensional bag. On the paper, there was also a list of some nobles of the Norn Principality. .

The mage's hand took a pen and drew a check mark behind the name of Eugene Cook, Viscount of the Hill. Luna Bloodfeather breathed a sigh of relief.

"The hill collar is done, well, let me see below, the blue vine collar..."

"Arms dealers, slave traders, smugglers, spies from other countries... this Norn Principality is really bad," muttering to herself, the harpy flapped its wings and flew into the night sky.

After years of planning, the Principality of Norn has long been infiltrated by the [Red Dagger], and has mastered the handles of a large number of nobles. A considerable number of people have already worked for the [Red Dagger]. Of course, most of them do not know who they are. Who to work for.

Under the will of the red dragon, the gears of the [Red Dagger] organization rotated rapidly, launching the layout accumulated over the years.

Without any surprise, an undercurrent swept through the entire Norn Principality, and things developed according to the red dragon's will.

Because of an "accident", a conflict broke out between the eldest prince of Norn, the eldest prince, and the sixth prince, another strong contender for the throne. The two sides completely tore their faces, and mobilized their supporters to fight openly and secretly. The Dukedom of Norn is in turmoil.

The situation was beyond everyone's expectations, including Red Dragon. The old king of the Norn Principality was so angry that he fell ill in bed due to the fighting between his sons. The "filial sons" stopped fighting openly, but secretly the fight became more intense.

Gradually, the old king's illness became more and more serious. The eldest prince and the sixth prince each formed a faction, wooed the brothers, entangled their party members, and launched an attack on the throne.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fate of the Norn Principality has reached a crossroads. No one can say whether the crown prince, the eldest prince, will successfully succeed to the throne, or whether the sixth prince will win over his elder brother and have the last laugh.

Assassinations, infernal affairs, etc. were staged one after another on the land of the Norn Principality, and the situation in the Norn Principality became increasingly turbulent.

At the same time, secretly, the second prince supported by the red dragon took advantage of the time when his brothers were busy taking care of themselves, and launched a long-planned plan to "win over" the nobles of the principality, and his power grew rapidly.

Although there were some minor deviations, things were generally similar to what Red Dragon had planned.

In the increasingly fierce conflict, the eldest prince died in an assassination. The strength of the six princes' forces was severely damaged by the counterattack of the remaining forces of the eldest prince. The princes who originally couldn't see the throne had different ideas.

The dissatisfaction among the princes suddenly broke out after the old king died of illness. In the end, the second prince, who had the support of half of the nobles in the country, won the crown with lightning speed and became the new king of the Principality of Norn.

………………………………

In the Red Castle, Jose is sitting high on the throne, and below him stands the [Kingdom Prime Minister]—Yi Gou, the leader of the [Red Dagger]—Van Cleef, and the harpy's family member—Luna Bloodfeather.

"Your Majesty, according to your plan, Belden successfully became the new king of the Norn Principality."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! The trade route plan is no longer hindered! The rise of the Fusai Kingdom will be unstoppable!"

"..."

The three family members were full of compliments. No wonder they were happy. No one expected that things would go so smoothly.

The old king of Norn fell ill and died because of his cooperation. Otherwise, according to the original plan, it would take at least a year to support the second prince to the throne.

"Everyone! Don't be careless!"

Contrary to the information dependents, Jose did not feel much about this: "You must remember that the victory of the Norn Principality is nothing. Our opponent has never been the small Norn Principality, but the power behind the four kingdoms of the North." Witch Council, the challenge has just begun.”

"We have done very well this time, but there is no guarantee that there will be some clues left. When the Witch Council reacts, we will face real challenges."

Seeing the serious and nervous expressions of the family members, Jose was satisfied. The arrogant army will be defeated. The Kingdom of Fusei is not afraid of the challenge of the Witch Council, provided that the family members will not be arrogant and arrogant.

"Although we have achieved success in the Principality of Norn, we must not be careless. The Northland Witch Council has controlled the Northland for many years, and the four Northland countries are their foundation. Regarding this matter, those women will definitely react fiercely. We must prepare for the war. preparation."

After changing his words, he said: "However, according to my inference, there will not be a direct conflict between us and the Witch Council. After all, there is the threat of the Dragon Worship Cult."

"Once the trade routes are opened, ironware and food will continue to flow into the markets of the four countries. At that time, no matter how unwilling the Northland Witch Council is, they will only be able to eat these hard currencies from the war period. This is not determined by their personal preferences, but It’s out of practical need.”

"Of course, secret fights are inevitable."

After achieving such a victory, Red Dragon naturally would not say anything depressing. He encouraged: "Everyone did a very good job in this Norn Principality operation. I am very satisfied. You deserve praise."

"..."

After rewarding the three dependents, Jose signaled the three of them to leave.

However, Luna Bloodfeather stayed. She stood in the hall and looked at the red dragon on the throne with confusion.

Jose looked at the harpy below. Among the mages in the Kingdom of Fuse, apart from Red Dragon and Yougou, Luna Bloodfeather was the strongest. Especially after getting rid of obsession and breaking through to the master level, the harpy The succubus progresses faster than Yougou. If the double master is not too perverted, it is not certain who is stronger or weaker between Luna and Yougou.

For such a legendary seed player who is the backbone of the kingdom, the Red Dragon naturally attaches great importance to it.

"Luna, what else can you do?"

After a pause, Luna Xueyu said: "Master, Anna came to visit me a few days ago."

"Well, that's it." Hearing the familiar name, Jose couldn't help but have a flash of nostalgia in his eyes.

Anna was a member of the four-person team that searched for elves and was the druid mentor of the elves. Later, the four-person team fell into the hands of the red dragon and was forced to sign a kinship contract, and was later taken back by the Mirk Forest.

It is worth mentioning that Luna Bloodfeather formed a deep friendship with the elf druid Anna during the time she lived in the Molten Core.

On the one hand, they are both women, and their strength is not much different, and they have common topics. On the other hand, Luna Bloodfeather has always wanted to become an elf and has a good impression of the elves. Anna, an outsider, also needs the harpy. The care of the demon clan.

Therefore, the cross-race friendship between Luna Bloodfeather and the Elf Druid is logical.

After a moment, Jose exited the nostalgic state and said, "She is here to heal the deep underworld, right?"

"Yes, Anna is now a master druid. She was selected by the Moon Elf Princess to lead the druids of the Mirk Forest in healing the Blighted Soil."

Jose nodded. According to the agreement, the druids of the Kingdom of Fusay are the main force in healing the blighted soil. The major forces provide legendary strongmen to protect the security. Of course, if there are druids who are willing to help, no one will be dissatisfied. There are so many helpers.

"Then what does she want from you?"

"Haha, Your Majesty, it's like this. Anna invited me to go to the deep dark area to keep her company."

After all, she is a woman...

Jose didn't even think about it: "I agree, you can just enjoy your vacation in peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luna Xueyu flew away happily.

Not taking this episode to heart, Jose continued to deal with his own affairs and picked up the memorial on the table.

After many monsters joined the Red Nest Crypt, the population of the Fusai Kingdom suddenly exceeded ten million, and the number of government affairs suddenly increased. Although the government affairs can be left to the family members, the red dragon does not mind handling them personally in his free time. .

Development and management are also a kind of fun.
