Chapter 57 Chicken Feather Letter
After hearing Arod's words, the court officials calmed down and felt that Arod's words made sense. They should not have reached conclusions so early before seeing the German mercenary group. However, when the impression formed by the rumors was deeply rooted in people's minds, doubt inevitably arose. However, after calming down, the young court officials looked at Arod, who was also young but was already the prime minister of the Duchy Palace. They couldn't help but think of his series of titles and the territory he had hit with bare hands. They couldn't help but envy them. At the same time, what they thought was that the army in Arod's hands was probably not as the rumors said. The court officials who gathered together in their own ulterior motives gradually dispersed, leaving only Earl Earl and Arod.
"Earl Emblem, when did this rumor start?" Aroud looked at the nobles who were gradually leaving, lowered his head and rubbed his hands and said to Emblem Emblem.
"Yesterday, maybe the day before yesterday, you also knew that rumors in the palace were like weeds in the wilderness, always growing out inadvertently. By the time you reacted, it had already reached your chin." Earl Earl sat on the chair tiredly, and dealing with these court officials all day was really unbearable. However, the operation of the entire principality relies on these nobles. If you do not have the power to suppress them, but you irrationally anger them, then you will find that your authority cannot even walk out of your own room. The nobles are not appointed by the duke. They believe that they are born noble and control the non-duke directly under the territory and where the territories are. The taxes and military sources of the principality must rely on the aristocratic class. If you are not careful, you will lead to aristocratic rebellion.
"Someone is manipulating public opinion. If I guess correctly, it must be Earl Lauziz who is making trouble behind the scenes." Arod said to Earl Eble. Regardless of whether he could understand the word public opinion, Earl Eble understood what Arod meant.
"So what if that is the case?" Earl Emble knew who this force was behind the scenes. He even knew that there was a monk around Earl Lauziz giving advice to Earl Lauziz.
"Mr. Earl Eble, I want to kill Earl Lauziz. This is not a personal grudge, but for the benefit of the entire principality." Arod suddenly looked fierce. Killing was accustomed to this era. In the process of conquering Mecklenburg County, those Slavs who were unwilling to surrender, and the Slavic nobles who died indirectly at his hands, had already made Arod's heart tough when necessary.
"Speak carefully about Count Arud." He suddenly heard Arud's words, and Earl Earl jumped up like a spring pressing under his butt. He stood up nervously and walked to the door of the room. He found that no one was relieved and closed the door tightly.
"Why not. Earl Lauzitz is a trouble. He provoked a war with the Bohemians and now attempts to stop my army?" Arod said indignantly.
"I understand what you said completely. My friend, but things are not that simple. Perhaps Count Lauziz did a foolish thing to provoke a war with the Bohemians. But the reality is that many nobles in the Duchy have long been very annoyed by the Bohemians. Count Lauziz's actions actually catered to their hearts. Not to mention the influence of Count Lauziz's noble class in the Principality. If he died in my castle, it would probably cause turmoil among the nobles in the Duchy. It is very likely that someone would use this as an excuse to say that I am a tyrant and raise troops to resist. You must know that most of the military power of the Principality is in the hands of the lords in these places. Isn't it the most unwise thing to do at this moment of Bohemian invasion? Therefore, Count Lauziz's life is in the interests of the Principality." The position of Emble as a regent made him see more profoundly, so he persuaded the furious Arod.
"If so, now is not the time to move him, but we just let Count Lauziz do evil, but there is no solution? No, maybe you are right. We should not kill Count Lauziz, but we can weaken his power." Arod kept circling in his mind, re-installing the blood droplets he had moved in the Baltic Territory area in the Principal of Mason and the Empire. It was only because Billis, the eldest son of the Mecklenburg chief, had not been caught, so he repeatedly hesitated to get rid of the pagan Billis who was fighting for his territory, or to engage in a secret battle with Count Lauziz. Now it seems that Count Lauziz's threat is urgent. In addition to preparing the open ace of the German Mercenary Group, he must also have a piece moving in the dark.
Arod summoned Harvey's orders with his order to build a new gem craftsman workshop next to the amber mine. The letter was posted with three chicken feathers and sealed with melted hot wax. The soldiers in the Mecklenburg County Post Station knew that the number of chicken feathers was pasted to mean the importance of the letter. On weekdays, they posted at most one or two letters. When three chicken feathers appeared in their sight, they immediately threw down all the horses on the post station and ran towards Mecklenburg Castle. People on the way saw the messenger with a red flag on their backs and immediately gave way to both sides, because the people in Mecklenburg County knew that if they were hit by the messenger and injured, they could only admit that they were unlucky.
The messenger soon came to the castle. He held up the three-root letter and came to the room of Monk Elvit. When Arod was not in the territory, Monk Elvit was responsible for the daily affairs of the Count's corps. However, Arod issued instructions and orders to him almost every month. When he performed his duties as a palace minister, he did not relax the construction of his territory.
"Three chicken feather letters? This is the first time I have seen them." Monk Elvit looked at the letter in his hand. After he opened the letter, he found a servant to let him release a night owl in the attic.
The Ye Owl flapped his wings and flew through the sky, crossed the land of Mecklenburg County, and flew straight to the border between Waller County and Walgast County. On a lonely rock standing by the sea, a man wearing a black cloak stood on the rock. The waves under his feet were slapped violently against the rocks for a long time, and the shattered waves splashed several feet high. However, the person wearing the cloak was still motionless. It was not until the sound of the Ye Owl's chirping came from the sky that he raised his head and looked at the Ye Owl circling in the sky. At this time, he stretched out his arm, and the Ye Owl landed straight on his arm, and took out a small scroll of codes written by outsiders from the Ye Owl's foot ring. After some deciphering, he understood the content.
