Time flies by and December 19th soon arrives.
There are endless banquets and social activities before the New Year, and some romances between nobles are spread, which is also talked about by the public.
But for the citizens, nothing is more interesting and exciting than the "tight war" between Sir Ackerman and the Alliance of Plains Nobles.
The two sides criticized each other in various newspapers and revealed all kinds of explosive scandals, igniting the passion of the melon-eating masses.
Even the city's pre-New Year celebrations were overshadowed by the intensifying fighting and stabbings between the two sides.
Especially after Ren used his trump card and asked the Thorn Security Company to release some "violent information" obtained from the drug lord Matt, it completely detonated public opinion.
"Shocking! The second son of Earl Ange actually had an affair with his sister in the Fini Hotel (the former property of drug lord Matt) many times. There are photos as evidence. According to the waiter, the two actually had sex in the hotel room many times. Role-playing like father and daughter, mother and son..." ─ "Hongye Daily"
"Photos prove it! The youngest daughter of Earl Wilton and three male companions were having fun at the Golden Rain Casino (formerly the property of drug lord Matt)...
In the end, all four of them were naked, and the scene was unsightly. There were also marijuana, opium and other items left at the scene..."──"Orange Tabloid"
"Exclusive news! Viscount Pierre, who is still young, actually asked a wandering warbler to dress up as a queen and beat him severely with a whip. There were also candles and other items at the scene..."──"Thorn Daily"
…
When these explosive news were revealed by the Thorn Security Company under Master Renn, it not only shocked countless people in various regions of the Kingdom of Falorland, but even shocked many other nobles.
These gossip tabloids immediately went viral and caused huge controversy.
Merova City, Roman Square,
In the early morning, the red sun broke through the sea of clouds. Many citizens had gathered next to the public carriage station. Most of them were middle class people who could travel by carriage.
"This...this, this is the upper class society. It's so nasty. It's eye-opening. It's eye-opening."
A man in a suit and tie held a few newspapers, his eyes widened, and his surprise was palpable.
"Yeah, I never expected it...my jaw dropped to the ground in shock, and it took me a long time to put it back together."
Holding several newspapers, a nearly bald senior technical worker was dumbfounded and felt that his outlook on life was ruined.
"Aristocratic men still know how to play." Someone marveled and sarcastically said, "A group of well-dressed beasts, they look glamorous on the surface, but they are so dirty behind the scenes..."
There are also citizens who are well-informed and know the inside story better, saying with emotion:
"A week ago, everyone was still watching Sir Ackerman's jokes and talking about him hooking up with indigenous women... Now, I suddenly discovered that Sir Ackerman has great moral integrity!"
His words spoke to the sentiments of many people.
"The people who were exposed are basically the nobles in the southern part of the kingdom. It seems that there is a lot of conflict between them and Sir Ackerman..."
Someone was thoughtful.
In recent times, things have been changing in the kingdom.
However, compared with the reports that attacked Sir Ackerman but could not provide any decent evidence of incrimination, although the black materials and scandals of these nobles are also published in tabloids, they are basically supported by photos...
There are pictures and the truth, so public opinion begins to turn.
In fact, compared to the upstart Master Ackerman, who is a careerist, sells arms, and engages in mercenary business, the masses prefer to watch gossip news and news about the old nobles being disgraced and losing face.
When a big shot or a person of high status loses face, he can often please a lot of people.
There are many extraordinary people who are dissolute. Compared with ordinary people, extraordinary people are physically stronger, more energetic, have longer lifespans, are younger, and usually have a certain amount of wealth and power.
They naturally have the foundation for enjoyment and sensuality.
In addition, there are few things that can restrain extraordinary people, and even the laws against them are different from ordinary people.
One can imagine how good some of the more depraved extraordinary beings can be.
It's okay for the new rich and grassroots extraordinary people. They are under a lot of pressure and still need to struggle. However, the old nobles have large tracts of land to support them, and there are many people who indulge in enjoyment...
But it's one thing to play in private and live a rotten life, but it's another thing to be exposed and make a fuss.
With a heavy punch, Renn's counterattack was very cruel and merciless, almost swollen the face of the noble alliance.
But in this way, the grudge between him and the noble alliance in the south was also exposed to the public.
After all, "Jingji Tabloid" is the property of Jingji Security Company. It is not difficult for anyone who is interested to find out that small newspapers such as "Hongye Daily" and "Fragrant Orange Tabloid" are already affiliated with Jingji Security Company.
Anyone who is a little smarter knows that Sir Ackerman and the southern aristocratic alliance are fighting and stabbing each other...
………
"It's amazing. You are worthy of being named Ren En. Now the nobles in the south have lost all their shame to my grandma's house."
Throwing a few newspapers to the dining table, the old goat raised the corners of his mouth.
He stood up and looked down from the window.
This is a castle built on the bank of the Lure River (which starts from the St. Joan Empire in the west and flows through most of the Faroland territory). No matter when, the clear water of the Lure River reflects its beauty. .
"City of Auroville" - this splendid castle was designed and built by Matthias, one of the greatest architects in human society in the late Fourth Age.
This is also his immortal work. The entire castle is ingenious and looks like a small flower with a faint scent of heaven. Its gorgeous interior decoration is the crystallization of the wisdom of many skilled craftsmen.
It belongs to the Fenocaccio family.
In the castle, celebrations continued for several days, with banquets, music, dancing, and drinking.
At the banquet, there were various delicacies such as cabbage rolls with minced meat, veal sausages, onion pancakes, almond cake beef, roast lamb and so on.
"This is not enough to make them retreat. Those nobles will not give up."
Leon frowned slightly and put down his wine glass, not so optimistic.
"Those nobles are not the biggest threat...they are all members of the association. I have to go back to Merova City." The old goat who was here as a guest smiled on his face.
"I'll go too." After hesitating, Leon said.
"Hey, think about it, you should know the danger. Your grandfather can still protect you in the family territory."
Thinking of Ren's call for help, the old goat stopped smiling.
Leon also stood up with a firm expression:
"I've thought about it. We killed Duke Marcus's wife. There's no reason to let our friends take the blame alone."
"Really? You're so loyal. It shouldn't be delayed. Let's get ready and set off immediately." The old goat said solemnly.
The two agreed to leave the Marquis Territory in three days and return to Merova City.
Although the old goat likes to brag, he is not ambiguous in his work.
After the banquet held by the Marquis' family, he began to pack his luggage, and prepared some formations and spells with the help of some materials obtained from the Fenokasiu family.
………
On the rooftop of the castle, the sunlight dyed the white marble with a golden glow.
"Wade, are you so confident that your grandson will get involved in something like that?"
The white leather armor flows with holy power. The leader of the Knights Templar, the heroic Gonzalez has blue pupils as deep as the ocean.
He watched the carriage under the castle go further and further away, disappearing on the ground line.
"Among my children and grandchildren, he is not the best, but he is the only one who does not want to inherit the family title...
How could I stop a passionate man from drawing a sword to fight for his friends and his ambition to make great achievements? "
Saint "Dawn Horn" Wade smiled slightly, his blond hair dancing in the howling mountain wind above the castle.
"Wade, are you not afraid that young man will bring your grandson into the pit?"
Gonzalez, with a resolute face, turned his back to the bright morning sun and stared with interest at the smiling Wade next to him.
"When the ancestors of the Fenocathu family accepted the Holy Order of 'Storm God of War' Louis and went on an expedition, some people said that everyone would be led into a pit by Louis."
Saint Wade had nostalgia in his eyes.
The first generation "Horn of Dawn" was a general under the Storm War God.
Moreover, he was the commander of the vanguard army, charging into battle, sounding the horn, and spreading the first ray of hope and light to the land of darkness in the bloody flames of war.
The Centennial Holy War, the Heroic Expedition...these stories are recorded in the epic - "The Storm War: The Heroic Expedition".
"Wade, do you think Ryan Ackerman has this level of potential and qualifications? Can he be compared with Lewis?"
Gonzalez raised an eyebrow.
Louis, the God of Storm War, was the first-generation leader of the Knights Templar.
In the Fourth Era, he ended the situation in which the four most powerful races of demons and humans jointly carved up the continent. He was the great hero who confirmed humanity’s ultimate hegemony...
With such great achievements, looking at the six eras of human history, only the Sun King can compare with them.
"Of course I'm not sure. There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, and even if he has potential, he may not grow to that level... However, I don't think he can be killed so easily."
Saint Wade shook his head slightly and stared at the endless winding river under the castle, feeling lost in thought for a while.
bass!
Gonzalez was noncommittal, and with a step of his feet, he jumped up from the castle.
Milky white and rich holy power surged out from his body in an instant. He was like a white-hot flashing meteor. In the shocked eyes of many people under the castle, he drew a brilliant trajectory of sacred lightning and galloped towards the west!
"I hope you can help me with the selection of the Saint. At least don't let the people in the 7th round cause trouble."
These were the last words Gonzalez left, and the reason why he came here specifically to visit.
"What a headache." A wry smile appeared on Wade's face.
Unlike other nobles in the kingdom, the Fenocasi family still has some connections with the church, although they are all in the past.
………
"Boss, although I've beaten them to shame this time, I've also broken their skin. They will definitely not give up. Besides, we have other enemies..."
In the living room of the villa, purple wind chimes swayed. Garcia stood up straight and reported work to Renn on the sofa.
Cowboy Garcia still looked solemn.
Although the company has revealed dirty information in the past few days, which has made the Southern Noble Alliance disgraced, I am afraid it has also completely angered them.
"Tear your face apart? You underestimate the thickness of the nobles' face... However, these scandals are not enough to make them cry out in pain and retreat. Next, they should try to show off, right?" Lei En scoffed.
It's a pity that he won't give the Southern Noble Alliance more opportunities.
Seeing that his boss was confident and had his own countermeasures, Cowboy Garcia was slightly relieved. He was not as powerful as his boss, and he was under a lot of pressure.
After calming down, he handed Ren a stack of documents:
"Boss, this is the information about the underground organization ─ 'Night Clown'" that Susanna compiled based on the things left by the drug lord Matt. Please take a look.
Ren reached out to take the stack of information and began to browse carefully.
"Night Clowns" - a transnational criminal group.
This organization was established less than two hundred years ago, but the internal situation is very complicated, and it is suspected of being involved with many big figures.
This underground organization controls two career routes.
They are the [Gun Fighter] profession and the [Performer] profession.
Performer is an emerging extraordinary profession, with first-level [Clown], second-level [Make-up Artist], third-level [Pretender], and fourth-level [Imitation Master].
There is no fifth level yet!
What a coincidence is that the [Gunfighter] profession, that is, the gunner profession, has not been deduced to the fifth level.
This is also the strangest thing.
Such a huge underground criminal group with influence spread across more than a dozen countries, and the two extraordinary career paths they mastered were unable to advance to the Holy Realm.
Very intriguing isn't it?
"The Dark Night Clown specializes in illegal businesses such as casinos, drugs, intelligence, and skin trading. There are many rumors that this organization is a money-making tool for some big shots..."
Ren's smile was a little playful, but he was filled with fear.
There are various indications that "drug lord" Matt is just an ordinary peripheral member of the Night Clown on the surface, but in fact he is an important pawn in the organization's layout.
The last time he killed Matt, ruthless people immediately came to kill him.
That is a tuxedo clown nicknamed "Ice Ghost", a [Performer] profession, a [Master of Imitation] at the fourth level of strength, and he is only one step away from the temple!
For him who had just been promoted to the fourth level at that time, he was definitely a formidable enemy.
However, due to lack of intelligence, the "Ice Ghost" took action at an inappropriate time.
At that time, Renn was traveling around the Kingdom of Faloran with the Valkyrie who had concealed her appearance and identity.
When passing by a certain scenic spot, he just took out the ring and was about to make a romantic proposal to Kesha. Then, the "ice ghost" jumped out and killed him...
Then nothing happened.
The "Ice Ghost" walked away peacefully. The Valkyrie, who was so angry that she lost her mind, opened up all her firepower and knocked him to pieces with just a few moves.
He died miserably, and Ren rarely thought of this enemy.
After all, the corpse was burned to ashes by Kesha's "Nuclear Explosion Fireball", so there is no way to get any benefits from touching the corpse, and there is no way to brag about the deeds of such a pretty boy calling 666 to his girlfriend...
"Boss, if the Dark Night Clown takes action this time, he may be sent by the pervert codenamed 'Hanfeng'." Cowboy Garcia said worriedly.
Hanfeng, the legend of the underground world, a killer with a notorious reputation.
He has killed the princess of the kingdom, the noble marquis, and the inspector general of the 7th Bureau... He is jointly wanted by more than a dozen countries, and he is very powerful on the entire continent.
Because this is a real killer who doesn't even seem to have a name.
Strictly speaking, Princess Sophie and "Shadow Hand" Chris, although they are assassins, they are not shady assassins, and they are not real killers.
No saint would be a shady killer. Han Feng was already the top killer in the underground world.
"Tsk, tsk, I'm a little scared."
Renn had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.
He picked up a letter on the table, which was sent by Arturia a few days ago.
