Struggle in the Steam Age

"Is this for a spell-casting medium?" The young man showed an expression of disbelief. "Don't forget that he is now the only heir to the Earl Sauer family's main line, and other people in the family died unnaturally one after another in a short period of time. Your attacks are too easy to attract the attention of others."

"The first time we sent our team in charge of collecting materials in the New World to assassinate that little guy from August's family was just a matter of chance. In fact, the first target was his father, but at that time his father was in the Church of Knowledge. The Great Salt Lake Temple, it is impossible for us to sneak in and carry out an assassination. So we can only resort to the next best thing and try to kill this little warlock who is likely to have the blood of a unicorn according to the previous investigation data."

"Because the other party's extraordinary level is not high in those materials, so I think it's just right to get that important magic material after catching or killing him." Baelish said. "However, after learning about the failure of the operation from the surviving members of the team, I did not plan to come again, but chose to erase all traces of our existence. Because at that time I thought there would be many opportunities of this kind, but the prerequisite was that we could not Let the other party be aware of our existence."

"But you didn't do that." Thinking about the contents of the note in his hand, the young man felt an urge to punch the opponent in the face. "But actually dared to assassinate that person again in such a short period of time without telling me, and even used explosives inside the city wall circle, this is simply—"

"But we have no other choice, especially after the baron died unexpectedly." Baelish raised his head at this moment and stared at the young man without showing any weakness, interrupting him. "Although we are powerful, the internal staff is too messy. Once the opponent catches any flaw, the opponent will completely catch it."

"And the death of the baron has left us with little time to act secretly. Although we have temporarily used a cult to attract the attention of investigators. But I believe that the Orthodox Church, the Tribunal and a series of investigative agencies will soon Just walk out of the maze we set up to find the clues we may have left. Therefore, we must complete our magic ritual before they act, so that we can have enough chances of winning under such unfavorable conditions .”

"In other words, I still have to thank you now?" The young man's anger had reached its limit. "I want to say thank you to you for mobilizing the power I spent money to build without telling me!"

"Please remember, my lord. The people behind me are just a cooperative relationship with you. Therefore, we have the right to take some more proactive actions for everyone's plans." Baelish straightened his body and looked at the young man with a slight smile on his face. With a contemptuous expression. "Because you are too young and have too little experience, sometimes you can't—"

"But your positive action this time is not a good thing, just look at this." The young man patted the note he just got in Baelish's hand. "The team you sent was completely counter-killed by that target, and even the captain and spellcaster in the team were captured. If there is no accident, the referee will be able to pry the two prisoners away tonight. mouth, it will take less than three days to finally catch us."

In this world with extraordinary power, a firm will is not very effective in the face of torture. There are too many extraordinary methods that can be used for interrogation, and the most indispensable in the tribunal are various interrogation methods.

Although there is a spear, there is a shield, and there are also various extraordinary methods that can be used to keep secrets in the world. Destruction is always easier than construction. Therefore, unless it is a core person, at most they will set a soul bomb in the soul of those people that can blow up all memories after death.

So now once a person with key information is captured, some fatal information can easily be grasped by the opponent, just like the problem faced by the two people in this study now.

"Damn it, we will be identified by those people from the referee within three days at the longest and five days at the longest." Baelish also showed an extremely shocked expression on his face. "Now I have to inform others, and everyone must be prepared. Please allow me to resign now—"

"Stop—" At this time, the young man who seemed a little flustered was the first to react. "Now we need to know how many people we can really mobilize here now? And when will they be able to be mobilized to carry out our orders?"

"What are you asking?" Baelish, who seemed to be about to leave, turned around in surprise and looked at this young man who usually didn't have much insight into himself, as if he was getting to know him again.

"Now draw my blood first, so that the magic ceremony can be completed as soon as possible. Besides, I need you to inform those my supporters, and tell them that now is the time to act. I hope that they can complete the magic ceremony within three days. Dobona assembled and fully prepared for battle."

"It's impossible, Your Highness." Baelish showed a very embarrassed look, "You know that the power your supporters have is mainly in the provinces, and those people want to be able to move without being discovered. It is absolutely not enough to enter the capital just for three days."

"I understand, but we have no choice now." The young man said with relief, "You must know that we are at least three days away from being completely discovered and found out what we did in private. Once everything is exposed After that, I think you know what we're going to face."

"The probability of us being executed is not very high, but someone like me will definitely be sent directly to a fringe colony to serve as the lifelong governor, and we will never be able to return to our hometown for the rest of our lives."

"As for the people behind you, even though they are nobles, I believe they should not be let go lightly by that person. It is very likely that you will be driven out of the land passed down from generation to generation and assigned to some barren land. Or Cutting down on your lands directly. Even in the worst cases some people lose their titles or are forced to kill themselves and pass the titles to their heirs."

"So now I want you to think about what we should do next? Is it to wait for that person's punishment? And pray that fate can treat you a little more mercifully. Or risk your life and fight with me."

"Anyway, no matter what you choose, I will choose to mobilize my direct subordinates to fight it out. Rather than going to some stupid colony to spend my life under surveillance in the future, I would rather fight it out. I lost anyway. It's nothing more than death, just to escape the boring life that can be seen at a glance. And if I win, this country will belong to me."

"—I want to apologize to you, Your Highness." Baelish said earnestly after a moment of silence, "I always thought that you just had a prominent status, but now it seems that you are not just an incompetent person with noble blood generation."

On the one hand, Baelish said this because he really felt this way in his heart, and on the other hand, he used this technique to stabilize young people in the past. After all, bloodlines are very important in this kind of empire with a relatively long history. If this noble young man refuses to cooperate, it will be difficult for the nobles behind him to achieve their goals.

Naturally, this young man is not a fool. The previous attitude of being at the mercy of those old foxes was purely because he had nothing but one identity. Without the help of those old foxes' sufficient financial resources, it would be impossible for him to cultivate his own cronies.

For example, the Transcendent who was sent to attack Lawrence this time was not his real direct subordinate at all, but was put on the surface to cheat funds. He believed that those old foxes also knew about this, but because they needed their help, they had to tolerate some small movements by themselves.

"Okay, go and tell the people behind you what I said." Finally the young man said, "I hope they can make the right decision."
