Severing his projected connection with the Council of Elders, Duke Yorok returns to reality.
Recalling the meaningful gaze of the great elder just now, his expression changed, and finally he couldn't help but curse:
"These old guys...all of them are old foxes!"
After saying that, he paced around the room, finally sighed and took out the slightly smaller communication crystal.
The crystal light changed, and an illusory figure appeared in it.
It was a thin figure wearing a mage's robe. There were various bottles and devices on the magic workbench behind him, and he was busy doing something in front of the magic workbench, as if he was conducting magic research.
Feeling the call, the thin figure in the crystal was slightly stunned.
However, he quickly reacted, quickly put down his work, came to the front of the crystal, saluted Duke Yorock respectfully, and said:
"Your Majesty Duke, have you...finished the Presbyterian meeting?"
Seeing the bottles and jars projected in the crystal, Duke Yorock's face darkened, and his heart suddenly became angry:
"Yulst! I should have said it before. As the person directly responsible for the Return to Star Project, you should be more careful and stop making these bottles and jars all the time!"
"The Lilac War will fail, and it has nothing to do with you guys who only know how to mess around all day long! You don't even know the betrayal of Red Lilac!"
The figure projected in the communication crystal is none other than Earl Yurst.
It's just that at this moment, the Blood Earl lacks the majesty and momentum of presiding over the remote meeting of the Ness clan. He looks like a magician obsessed with magic research.
He blocked the magic workbench behind him slightly, smiled coquettishly, and coughed dryly:
"Ahem... Lord Duke, you know that a long life is too boring. The only way we can pass the time is to find hobbies that suit us, just like you like to play chess with the Elf Queen..."
Seeing Duke Yorock's face getting darker and darker as he explained, Yourst realized that he had made a mistake, quickly stopped talking, and changed the subject:
"Um... Your Majesty the Duke, our people have stopped infiltrating Castel. Did your meeting go well? Is there anything else you need to do to contact me?"
Duke Yorock took a deep breath and said:
"The Great Elder ordered that all items related to the Thorns and Roses pattern must be disposed of immediately. However... Castel is an important part of the Return to Star Plan and must not be abandoned."
Yurst's eyes widened:
"Dispose of the items related to the Thorns and Roses pattern? So... there really is a god behind Castel?"
"Wait a minute, the Great Elder said we can't give up Castel? Does this mean we should continue to infiltrate Castel? But... isn't there a resurrected god behind Castel? We can't be allowed to go to the Holy Spirit. The royal court reported that an evil god has resurrected, right?"
Duke Yorock frowned:
"What is the purpose of reporting? Not to mention whether reporting is useful to a god who can sleep under the nose of the Holy Royal Court for hundreds of years. The idea of attracting the Holy Royal Court at this juncture is to make the Return to Star Project A complete failure?”
Yurst asked respectfully:
"So...what do you mean?"
Duke Yorock thought for a while and said:
"The Great Elder said that Castel is an important part of the Return to Star Plan and should not be given up..."
"For us, we just need Castel's support and backing as we carry out our plan to return to Earth."
"Gaining support is not just a means of bringing them into the sphere of influence. Making the other party an ally through negotiations and transactions is also an option!"
Yurst's heart moved slightly:
"Your Majesty the Duke, you mean...to show your kindness to Castel?"
Duke Yorock nodded:
"I have this idea, but... everything still depends on what the situation is on Castel's side."
Yurst looked solemn:
"I understand what you mean. I will continue the summons to further speed up the background investigation on Count Castells..."
"This alone is not enough..."
Duke Yorock shook his head and said:
"The suspension of infiltration has greatly delayed our plans, and now that we have decided to make the switch, we need to act quickly."
"what do you mean……?"
"I intend to send a mission to Castel, a mission on behalf of our Ness clan, to have direct dialogue with the Castel family."
Duke Yorock said quietly.
Earl Yurst's eyes widened:
"Send a mission? Direct communication?"
"This...it is said that Count Castel is examining the blood descendants in the North, and the target is our Ness clan. Will sending a mission at this time be directly..."
Duke Yorock interrupted him:
"Of course I know there are risks, but...it also represents sincerity."
Earl Yurst was moved in his heart and said:
"I understand what you mean. I will make arrangements to form a delegation to negotiate with the Castel family."
Duke Yorock shook his head:
"An ordinary envoy is not enough. Since we want to express sincerity, the count must take the lead in this matter."
"Although the human count is different from our count, using the count as a representative also represents our respect and sincerity!"
Hearing these words, Earl Yurst subconsciously looked at Duke Yorock, and Duke Yorock also looked at him:
"Yulst, you are the person directly responsible for the Return to Star Project. No one knows the specific progress of the Return to Star Project better than you."
"I think...you know what I mean?"
Earl Jurst:…
…
The sighting of the Blood Demon Order adds a layer of uncertainty to Charlotte's censorship plans.
However, apart from the attack on Sebastian, there was no trace of the Blood Demon cultists in Castel during the following period.
Even the black dragon seemed to have disappeared.
Viscount Leon-Castle's review operation in the southern part of the Earl of Castell is also going smoothly. Although it will inevitably encounter opposition from the local nobles, with the strong support of the Castell family, the territory The small and medium-sized nobles had no choice to refuse.
Charlotte, who was staying in the capital city of Northport, received progress reports from the old Viscount almost every day. What surprised her was that the Ness clan actually completely retreated.
The old Viscount's actions went smoothly for this reason. The abandonment of the blood descendants left the nobles with their own agendas completely without a choice. In the end, they had to accept the review of the new lord honestly.
At the same time, a Carrick sailing ship from the Kingdom of Fallen Star also sailed into the port of North Port carrying the Ness delegation headed by Earl Yurst.
